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

Action, Initiative & 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

You must be stirred to greater action than ever before, if you want to be used by Me in the future, if you even want to
survive the impending future events. (I:49)

Be not like the rich evil doers of nothing, but stir yourself up into action of prayer! (I:50)

Do you really believe that I know best? Well, if so, just act accordingly!
Be filled with a silent, cheerful joy unspeakable, that small personal trademark of the saints, the reward for believing and
acting on the knowledge that it is more blessed to give than to receive! (I:51)

If you live in Me, act, move and breathe in Me, listen to My Voice and follow My instructions, you will wind up emitting that
love I want them to see through you, and you will be the tools and vessels I need you to be. (I:55)

Show your love by your actions! (I:77)

Look for someone to help, to cheer up, to encourage, to pray for, to witness to. If all your actions would revolve around
this simple theme, youd find life to be so much more fun. (I:86)

Dont let those fears hold you down any longer: fears of reactions of man to the things I might ask you to do or say; fears
of what men might think of you; fears of mens opinions; fears of rejection; fears of consequences for unorthodox actions.
Rather fear the consequences of lack of action, for this will only result in true loss, lost opportunities, in failing Me and My
highest will! (I:87)

If you want to feel better about what you do, just do more! (I:191)

Im trying to motivate you, to move you into action, begging you to get down to the Real Thing, face the responsibility of
the job you are given by Me. (I:230)

Let Me make your day! Let Me not only actively participate in your day, but let Me rule it and make it, and determine what
your actions are going to be! (I:239)

Focus on the immediate little steps of love to take, right in front of you as opposed to far-off goals of grandeur and
splendor!
Its the tiny little faithful actions and deeds of love that make Love the greatest thing in the universe.
If you just stick to the tiny little actions, deeds and steps of love, youll be doing just whats necessary to bring about the
triumph of good over evil, and youll be doing just fine.
How can you assume that youll be ready to lay down your life for another someday, by some grand endowment from on
high, if youre 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 and manifestations of love toward Me and your fellowmen everyday. (I:248)

Everything you do matters! And some things matter a lot, whether you do or dont do them makes a big difference. (I:282)

Keep on giving! Be not weary in well-doing, for in due season you shall reap if you faint not.
These answers wont satisfy you and your longing unless you receive them, accept them as My truth, My answer, My
solution to your problem and apply them, believe them and act on them! (I:336)

As long as you still rely on yourself or even your situation, its no good. Its got to be stirred up, lest it stagnates and
becomes no good. As long as theres motion in it, I can use it and it generates energy. As soon as the flow of motion stops,
it dies and becomes useless to Me. (I:382)

Show Me that you dont only believe in My Word in theory, in your head, but that youre also willing to obey it and apply it
to your physical life, by putting those Words into action! (I:393)
4
Once you make the decision that youre going to obey come what may, I do the rest for you and help you to put it into
practice and into action. Youve got to do the wenting; Ill do the leading and all the rest.
Im helping you to develop initiative and the art of taking positive action by the circumstances Ive put you in. Always
remember, though, that one of the greatest actions you can take and things you can accomplish, is action through prayer,
the underestimated weapon! (I:397)

Accept the whole truth about yourself and learn to apply that truth daily to keep on the right path, and put it into action!
You've got to want that truth, even if it hurts, and then live and act on it! (I:460)

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. (I:506)

The times to just ignore things and just let it pass are over! I want you to take action, action through prayer and do
something about it in order to enable Me to do something about it! (I:512)

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? (I:536)

It's time to get serious about what you believe in. Time to make the connection between your faith and the so-called real
world, but also the real world of your actions, to really put your faith into action and live that faith and live by faith! (I:586)

It's time to get serious about what you believe in. Time to make the connection between your faith and the so-called real
world, but also the real world of your actions, to really put your faith into action and live that faith and live by faith! (I:586)

My Love, My ultimate motive and incentive can spur you on and cause you to move out into positive action. (I:594)

"Forward, march!" is the motto of the day! Time to attack! Testing and 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 and put it into practice. (II:27)

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 and 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 and push, even the driver, or the captain, and 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 and 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. (II:28)

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. (II:32)

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. (II:37)

It's taking spiritual action concerning the matter that counts. There isn't much you can do about it in the physical, and
getting upset won't help any! But you can command Me whatever you want Me to do concerning the situation, and trust
and 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 and how you want
Me to take care of a situation! (II:139)

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 and 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 and

5
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 and 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 and show what you can with it!
Employ your elbow grease in it and give it all you got in order to make it work. (II:144)

There's a fine line between waiting on Me and not realizing that I'm waiting for you to get busy. Waiting on Me doesn't
mean staying inactive. (II:170)

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 and just do it!
It's time for you to quit being a hearer only and 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 and nice and 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 and off your task.
Believe it, act on it, do it and send the enemy back to hell where he belongs!
To love does not just mean to passively and reluctantly tolerate. To love is reaching out, actively going on the attack and
doing something to alter your "neighbors" state, not blaming them, but taking the responsibility to do something about it!
(II:172)

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 and that are necessary in order to make life smooth and workable for everyone. (II:192)

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... (II:196)

Lethargy, selfishness and pleasure will always promote your own ends in your mind, and all that's there to counter them is
My Word and the voice of My Spirit, the anti-flesh, the anti-ego "movement" in the world of your mind, and you have to
make your choices every time which side you're going to actively support by your actions (Phil.2:21). (II:210)

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. (II:215)

It's time to get serious about your work. Determine what your goals are, focus on them and pursue them and work at them
until you will have achieved them!
It's no longer time to haphazardly do whatever you feel like doing, but focus and 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 and feel self-satisfied, but realize that whatever you
happened to accomplish is only a small beginning and a tiny step towards a larger goal, and 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! (II:217)

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 and supplied you with the counsel you needed, the necessary assurance of all you need to know to get
going. Now you just need to put it into action and actually do it. The doin' it is your part!
I'm sayin' it, you're doin' it. That's the way it usually works when you're working for or serving somebody. So, I've done My
part, now it's time to let Me see you do your part. It's time to get working. Now comes the obeying part. The being-doers-of-
the-Word-part, not hearers only.
It's the difference between just thinking that something is merely a good idea or something nice to do eventually, and
actually doing it.
A lot of times I'm actually having to repeat Myself, and that is a sign that it's time for you to do something about what I've
already 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.
6
"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. (II:228)

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 and 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 and 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!
(II:230)

We're going to have to be making some progress and move the things I've told you to the application level and 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. (II:231)

Recognize when there is a needy situation that requires rolling up your sleeves and 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 and repercussions and
rewards. What you do speaks so much louder than words. So, be a doer and 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! (II:246)

Give Me your time, your attention, your heart, your mind, and soon I will be able to rule and determine your actions,
causing you to accomplish more than you ever could without having acquired My Love and Power first. (II:276)

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! (II:279)

Don't just let the things I tell you serve to inform you, to merely add to your knowledge, but let them form you, shape your
heart, and consequently change your life and your actions! (II:343)

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! (II:357)

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 and 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! (II:385)

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 and get on the ball, if you're going to find and fulfill your dream and vision!
(II:397)

I need you to do all you can to bring in the harvest before the storm.
Look for opportunities, ways and 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 and make a conscious effort to
work toward. (II:421)

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 and 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 and action to

7
respond to the opportunity. My spiritual matters need to have that urgency for you, they need to become as pressing and
important to you as your own physical needs.
Learn to see those needs, recognize those opportunities and then obey instantly and go to work on them! (II:422)

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. (II:451)

You have to make an effort in order to reap a harvest; you can't just expect the fruit to fall into your lap! (II:479)

You've got to keep pressing in. Don't quit seeking progress, ways to improve and 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. (II:497)

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 and 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 and 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!
(II:498)

A lot depends on your initiative; your overcoming of laziness, and communicating. It's work. (II:510)

Don't live to be served, but walk in My footsteps and 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. (II:513)

"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 and tell you all the secrets, but you've got to do the "wenting," you've got to try them out and 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. (II:519)

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 and 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 and
down until it hurts and 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 and 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 and 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. (II:543)

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. (II:567)

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.

8
You can't just let the enemy have the world and 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). (II:601)

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! (II:606)

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. (II:609)

"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. (II:618)

Sometimes you don't even have to say all that much; just doing it will make all the difference it takes. (II:632)

Its 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 its those folks you would least
expect to fulfill that hope, who come to surprise the whole world.
Its like an apprenticeship: you learn as you go and put the things you have learned in theory into practice. (II:644)

You need to seek ways to make My counsel and input work for you in practical ways. You Look around for ways to
implement and apply it... to live it.
Stand by My side and help Me by doing what you can! (II:649)

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! (III:12)

What matters is what you do with every little bit of information, how deeply you allow it to sink in, so that it can be seen in
your actions. (III:43)

Sometimes I have to allow you to reap the repercussions of your actions. (III:54)

It's you alone who is responsible for your own actions and choices, your own victory or defeat, because it is I that give the
victory, not any other person. (III:65)

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? (III:78)

I expect you to come to Me, to make an effort! You can't just sit passively waiting for Me to make everything happen in your
life! As you move toward Me, I move toward you. (III:88)

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! (III:94)

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
9
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. (III:96)

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. (III:127)

Act in the Power and in the Name of the Author, the Founder, the Ruler over all, in His undisputable Authority over
everything else, any circumstances and forces that would dare to stand in the way of My will, and that would dare to defy
you! (III:141)

You've got to make sure that love is the basis and foundation of and the prevailing and prevalent spirit in your actions.
(III:147)

Action is not the only thing it's all about. It's certainly very important, but what's most important is that I'm in it, and to
ensure that, there's just no way around spending the necessary time with Me.
You don't have to hide behind what you're doing. You can be free to just be who you are in Me, and that's enough. You can
enjoy Me, and I will make it happen through you. (III:150)

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.
(III:151)

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. (III:155)

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! (III:156)

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). (III:176)

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." (III:186)

This is the way to get things done and to get action pulled down from Heaven: through prayer. (III:209)

Many are too self-confident to double-check with Me about their actions. An outstanding leader questions his own actions
sometimes. He doesn't take for granted that just because of his position he might never be making a mistake. He stays
aware of making potential mistakes.
Change circumstances through your prayers, actions or words, but never through moaning and complaining about them!
(III:238)

We need you where you are, but with a good and solid connection to Our World, so that you can pass on what you're
receiving from Us. Not only in the form of the words you're receiving from Us, but also in the way you act, your sample,
your whole way of living, the attitude of faith that goes out from you. (III:239)

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. (III:240)
10
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. (III:246)

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. (III:281)

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. (III:282)

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, to put My Word and will into action.
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. (III:286)

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! (III:293)

Life isn't all about constantly collecting new little revelations and bits of wisdom, but about learning to apply them. (III:307)

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! (III:328)

I give 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. (III:340)

It takes time to pause from your actions and activities to pay special attention to what I want from you next.
Are you actively going to get busy feeding My flock in order to ensure not only your own, but also their survival through
the rough times in the near future? (III:355)

Any action you're designed and destined for, I will let you partake in, and for the rest, well, you're just going to have to
trust Me that that was supposed to be someone else's job! (III:363)

If things would be going too smoothly for you, you'd simply become too comfortable, too complacent, too much at ease
and too indifferent about the state of the world, you wouldn't be moved into action to change something for Me. (III:366)

Its time to roll up your sleeves and pitch in with the gigantic job of winning and feeding the world that's there to reach.
Its action time, and time to gain some stature by going out there and 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! (III:369)

In order to be a pioneer, youve got to take the first step. (III:374)

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. (III:381)

Im serious about what Im telling you, and Id appreciate it, if you would believe Me for it, and take My Word for it, and if
youd act on what I tell you.
Hearing from Me should also include asking Me to show you ways to implement what Ive given you! (III:395)

Theres always a part that you can do, a part Im expecting you to do, in order for Me to do Mine. (III:404)

11
The good and kind act has got to come from a heart of love. If it happens without love, they will feel it, if it came somewhat
reluctantly, and there isnt really love in it. (III:410)

Just receiving My Words alone won't do the trick. You'll have to do them, too. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if you
do them." (III:413)

You do what you can, and I will have to do the humongous part that you cant. (III:427)

Keep focusing on the fact that I need you!

Make it an indestructible truth you build your life and actions on! (III:428)

The way I measure love is not only by the words a man speaks, but by his actions. (III:454)

Once youve learned a new lesson from Me in theory, youve 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! (III:461)

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. (III:518)

You have to face the consequences of your choices and actions! The consequences are there to teach you to think and
counsel harder before. Take the time to check in with Me in order to avoid disappointments! (III:560)

The gifts of the Spirit are for those who want to put My Word into practice, who want to put My will into action, and live it,
theyre for My Action People. (III:598)

There comes a time when words will only go so far, and youre just going to have to apply the counsel youve already
received and put it into action, even if its just action through prayer. (III:604)

If you want things to change for the better, the one thing not to do is to just stand by passively and watch it all go down the
drain. (IV:7)

Sometimes certain efforts have to be made in order to get what you want, and if everything would always fall into your lap
by itself, then I would be spoiling you. Thats not what I meant by trusting Me to supply all your needs. I never said, Dont
do anything, Ill do it all! (IV:10)

There is always a part that you must do in order to activate My power and put it to use for you. You must find the thing that
you must do, your calling, that which will call down My Spirit upon you and will cause you to bear fruit. (IV:34)

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Gal.6:7).

You you reap the very results and consequences and fruits of your own either selfish or unselfish actions.
See your limitations and the consequences of your own actions first, before trying to save others from theirs (IV:35)

Things wont just improve by themselves if you leave them alone, but rather tend to deteriorate.
With doors, it does take a little effort of your own to push them open, to turn the doorknob, to knock or ring the bell, it isnt
entirely up to Me. (IV:40)

Sometimes you just have to get going and do what you know youve got to do, and then Ill show and lead and guide you
concerning the details as you go. (IV:44)

The thinkers arent always the doers, and perhaps some of the poor thinkers you may be tempted to look down on today
may become the doers of tomorrow, who didnt know that the things youre so scared of couldnt be done (IV:45)

Sometimes what I would expect from you arent any high and lofty achievements and accomplishments, but just little
humble but necessary acts. (IV:48)

You do the right thing simply because you know its the right thing to do, not because you feel like it.
Get more into the gear of doing things just because you know you have to; in other words, make obedience more your
incentive, instead of relying so much on inspiration, going too much by the way you feel about something and whether
youre inspired to do it.
Become more of a sample of someone who does things simply because they have to be done, and out of sheer obedience.

12
Dont feel bad because the feeling and the inspiration doesnt seem to be there. Just keep doing what you know you have
to, regardless. What matters is that the things get done. You may not feel My power doing it through you, but I promise it
will always be there when you need it! (IV:61)

You cannot mistake service to Me as only action. In fact, 90% of it is interaction with Me, your communion with Me, your
devotion to Me, and I will do the rest through you. (IV:69)

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak (Mt.26:41).

A willing vessel is not always as strong to convert My fuel into good works and actions. (IV:87)

If you really esteem anothers life above your own, thats an attitude that will shine through your actions and your
willingness to lay down your life for them daily in the way you live and die daily for them, in order to make their lives more
enjoyable, and not just seek your own pleasure. (IV:149)

Your heart is determined by your actions and the way you behave and treat others, more than by what you say.
Your mind is like the ideology that you have embraced by which you would like to run and govern your life its like the
sermon, or the commandments. But your heart is determined by how much you actually do live in accordance with those
thoughts and words, that ideology, and how much you manage to put it into practice.
Your heart is determined by the way you live.
While written words have their place, and can be very helpful, when it comes down to it, there is nothing more helpful than
a person who actually shares the load and walks the road with someone, instead of one who just shows the way.
Work on the implementation of all that you believe in, putting skin on it, feet to it, and converting it into real live action!
The world isnt in need of more good words as much as it is in need of good samples.
What will really make a difference in this world, is people who dont only have nice and great ideals in their heads, but
actually manage to live them!
Take time to love! How much did that lesson really sink deep down into the depth of your being and consequently seep
through into your actions, sample and behavior?
How much do all the words really sink down into the depth of your heart and affect your actions, your sample?
Real righteousness is manifested by the way you act, which shows who you really are, and how much those ideals and
good thoughts and words in your mind actually come to fruition. (IV:166)

The language that speaks the loudest and most clearly is your actions.
The difference between having it all in your head and putting it into action. (IV:167)

You are clean through the Words I speak unto, yes, but putting them into practice is still another story, that is up to you!
Prayer will help get the necessary spiritual help to put feet to those prayers and perform the action that comes so hard to
do in the flesh.
Praying people will always be greater saints with greater actions to show for it, greater miracles, etc., than the most
learned theologian, who has it all in his head in theory. The first step toward implementing and putting all that theory into
action is prayer: Action through prayer. (IV:170)

It sure helps if your actions jibe with your words. (IV:184)

By their fruits ye shall know them, and if the fruit of their lips is the opposite of their actions, you can always tell that
theyre not of Me. (IV:211)

There are more things youve got to do in order to please Me than there are things you shouldnt do. In other words, being
a good Christian and fighter for My Cause is more manifested in the things you do than what you dont do.
While the ten Commandments consisted of a lot of donts, in the New Testament I have given you a new commandment
that consists primarily of dos. Its not so much anymore about rules that may not be broken and negatives you should
avoid, as it is about things you should do and actually positive actions that should be on every believers schedule.
Most people still prefer a religion of donts. Its easier in some ways. They just have to stick to the rules theyre not
supposed to break. They dont have to develop any initiative, dont have to look around for ways and possibilities of
implementing and putting into action all the things that I told them to actually do: To do unto others as you would have
them do to you, to go into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature, to love your neighbor as thyself, etc.
Thats why a lot of people go back to the Old Testament and would rather stick to the 10 Commandments, and the donts.
Its a religion of avoiding negatives, not one of implementing positives and positive action. Its a religion of avoiding sin,
rather than one of actually doing good. (IV:232)

Prayers can go way beyond what your words or even your actions could ever accomplish, because it gets the Spirit World
to move into action on your behalf, and thats where by far the bulk of the action is happening and originates in the first
place. (IV:237)

The degree of responsibility of each follower of Mine is greater than many realize, since they are ultimately responsible for
their actions and who and what they ultimately are, and they cannot just blame their failures on God and say, Why hast
Thou made me thus? (IV:252)

13
Love only comes from that sincere and intimate relationship with Me, which is not limited to your conversations with Me,
nor does it end there, but it should rather only begin there and result in some visible manifestations as seen in your
actions.
That doesnt mean its another works trip. But it does mean that youre only deceiving yourself if you think you can merely
be a hearer of My Word without being a doer of it, without implementing it in your life and drawing the consequences,
adapting your life according to what Im telling you. (IV:315)

One can talk about the lifestyle or the Law of Love all they like, but it doesnt really become genuine, nor make a genuine
difference, unless somebody also really lives it and puts it into action (IV:324)

Let Me guide you well, and all things are going to be alright, and you wont have to have a bad conscience at the end of
your path about your actions. (IV:328)

Youve got to be a doer of My Word, not a hearer only, if you want it to have the desired effect on your life.
To be a doer of the Word means to be sharing it, giving it away, preferably personally and face to face, as you come in
touch with different people (IV:336)

Everybody inevitably needs to harvest the results and consequences of their actions or lack thereof. (IV:366)

There are actual obstacles to overcome, and they are only overcome by more than emotions, namely actions, which may
sometimes receive necessary fuel from those emotions, but it's the actions nevertheless that make the difference. (IV:392)

To be aware of your need for Me is just the simple act of awareness and acknowledgment of the most blatant and yet most
willingly ignored fact in the universe. (IV:409)

Its all a matter of faith. Are you going to believe it and act on it? Are you going to walk by faith in My Promise and that I will
keep it and act as though it will come to pass? Are you going to walk toward that distant horizon in order to find that dream
and make it reality, in spite of all the adverse circumstances, obstacles and odds against it? (IV:410)

What counts is what you do with what youve got, and that often in spite of all the circumstances, obstacles and the
doubts the enemy screams into your ears, that its useless and you dont stand a chance, etc. (IV:432)

Come to Me and then take Me with you into your days activities!
Things will flow much more smoothly from there on. (11:17)

When you get to the point where the evil thats going on around you and that youve been trying to tolerate or ignore in
silence somehow affects you personally, then you finally get to the point where youll move into action. (11:18)

Actions are good and great. But when you have nothing else to give but words, then thats better than nothing; and giving
them the word about Me is one of the greatest actions you can engage in, so dont underestimate it. (11:91)

What people resented most about Me were My actions our life-style, and you may note that they did not determine to kill
Me until I proved by My action of raising the dead that I actually was Who I claimed to be.
While words have their time and place, and they can give a lot of comfort and hope and even liberation to people, thats not
all.
How much are you really making a difference with the way you live?
You can talk all day until youre blue in the face about theological disputes and definitions, but what difference is that
really going to make in the long run?
The world has had enough talk! It doesnt really change much in the long run. What really counts is action, and people
daring to live a different life style than the average, people who prove by the way they live that they dont approve of their
system. (11:104)

Start becoming active in the kind of activities that really count! (11:116)

Youre reaping the consequences of your actions and choices; youre reaping what youve sown, and things are coming
back to you the way you initially prompted them to by your own actions, decisions, choices and attitudes. (11:130)

If you cant shine My light through your words, you can let it shine through your actions. (2012:62)

if you can manage to inspire people on realistic grounds, and genuine and real truth coming from your lips and conveyed
through your action, that is the highest ideal. (2012:64)

It doesnt matter how successful or not you are as a preacher, but what matters most is the testimony of your actions; and
if you have faith that others have not, the kind that shows and proves that I still care and provide for Mine in such a way
that they dont have to kow-tow to the big money apparatus, then youll be in effect doing a greater work for Me than all the
sermons in the world combined.

14
Anyone can preach to keep trusting, but where are the ones who really give a sample of that trust, put it into action and
dare to defy all the reasonable, rational concerns based on the way people are being groomed to think these days, which
makes the system and its money the all-powerful part in the equation, when it really comes down to it, instead of Me.
(2012:84)

Its easy for people to go, Monkey see, monkey do and imitate the behavior of others, even when they might know that
its wrong. Thats one of the great evils of this world: everyone does basically the same everyone else does, just because
everyone else does it, without thinking for themselves whether its right or wrong, without letting their own conscience
guide them. They justify their actions with the excuse that everyone does it, so why shouldnt they. But thats a very poor
excuse, one that wont hold much ground when theyll stand before Me having to give an account for their actions and
their results
Going along with the way people do things is dangerous, because it creates an entire society doing things not based on
principles of right or wrong, but they replace the process of thinking by just mimicking their peers like monkeys.
Perhaps the fact that monkeys are the animals that resemble man most in their likeness doesnt mean that the latter
descended from them, as much as it resembles a warning that thats what he might wind up like if he neglects to use his
own brain. (2012:105)

The truth shall set you free. Accepting My truth is the first step. Then putting it into action is the next, liberating step
when you do and obey those things you hear from Me. (2012:151)

Things or people, for that matter just dont get better by themselves, especially once theyve reached a certain age. It
takes work and effort to keep stuff pertaining to this world from deteriorating. (2012:166)

Seek not only the seed of My Word, but also the coming to fruition of it, the result, the action, the fruit! (2012:174)

In the long run, actions will speak louder than words. (2013:17)

Spending time with Me is still the single best thing you could possibly ever do, and is never time wasted. After all, if Im the
ultimate goal in your life as a follower in My footprints, which other action could possibly get you closer to that goal?
(2013:49)

When we speak action, Im talking about the right kind of action, and in some cases it would have been better to have done
nothing at all than pull the wrong kind of action over the shady cast of humanity and history
You and I agree that theres more thats wrong with the world than most people are aware of, so I dont blame you for being
a little more carful about what kind of action you pull off, and your concern for not wanting to add substantially to the
damage - Which unfortunately has often been the case even with a lot of those who genuinely thought they were doing
good.
But thats why communicating with Me is always the right kind of action. Just like learning is primarily achieved by taking
in first, before you can give anything sensible back out
Youd welcome it if Id be taking care of more of the action, you say, instead of waiting for you to develop some initiative.
The truth is that Ill do all the action you genuinely ask Me for, and the only action you might have failed completing is that
of praying for Me to make it happen Now, thats not too much action to ask for, is it?
It still remains the most underestimated and belittled action in the world Nobody wants to believe that it could be so
easy; not even those whove experienced countless times that it is.
When it comes to the kind of action Id like you to take, youve got to keep in mind that My idea of the appropriate type of
action varies greatly from that of most of the rest of the world, or even those voices from the spirit world that are egging
them on (2013:73)

The more you put your faith into action, meaning, you apply it, and you live for and by your faith, instead of just the same
old rigmarole everyone else keeps up, of making a living and struggling to merely keep existing, the more results youll
see outside the realm of the ordinary, because thats basically what the life of faith is: You base your existence on
something else than the ordinary, everydays and every mans struggle to survive, and accordingly youll see extraordinary
results.
What it takes to please Me is faith, and that entails putting your faith into action, a faith that is actually lived and literally
visibly and tangibly perceivable by your actions, what you do.
Put your faith into action, and check out the results!
Ive never let you down, even when your service to Me and the amount of works or actions you did and executed for Me
have amounted to near nothing. So, imagine what I can and will do for you once you actually start pouring more of your life
into your faith, and let your faith become more visible again in your life and life-style, your way of living!
Why not give the game of conformity a break, and become active in the business of transforming, changing lives and
thus the world around you? (2013:90)

Part of My deal with you is that I wont let you get away endlessly with wrong behavior or violating the rules, even health
rules, but must allow you to reap the consequences of your own actions. Youve got to come to the realization of whats
right and wrong by yourselves, and of why it is so. (2013:100)

The Enemy doesnt and never liked you; but thats why you should have been more careful about your deeds and actions!
(2014:7)
15
How about choosing action that may not or doesnt sound like your favorite? (2014:13)

Try to stay active with Me, aware of the fact that I kept you and your life active and alive like a miracle! (2014:17)

Strengthen our relationship and receive not just words and info from Me, but also deeds and actions that are going to
strengthen you in other ways, protect you, and fight for you! (2014:51)

Its definitely more helpful for faith to work by being more positively active in the mind.
Stay actively fighting for faith against the enemy, and what hes trying to sow into your life with negative moods (2014:52)

Pray for and expect My answers in action, miracles Ill do for you and youll need.
Remember to use the prayers when you need some more action around you to change things! Ask Me for the action to
change things when somethings still missing to make you feel better! (2014:57)

Find and experience Me more, feel your need for Me and the need to feel and experience My Presence and My Spirit upon
you
If you feel the need for Me and My Presence and action in your life, itll be good for you, replacing the need for other
things.
If youre a child of God, youre supposed to act like one, not so much like a child of the world or even of the enemy!
(2014:59)

Act in a way that truly deserves My blessings and rewards

Become an active Christian, a true and active follower of Mine; not just one in theories! (2014:61)

If you believe in life after death, then its time for you to put some action into that faith and reduce your faith and action
from what you used to put in your life for the sake of money.
If the spiritual values are worth more in the long run, isnt it time for you to put some more action into them? (2014:76)

Love is what the Father is and what Ive taught a lot about in Word and in action.
Follow love and keep it in your heart, mind, soul and actions! (2014:97)

Its better to train your purpose and sense of life to the action and ability of love, than it is to only raise ones level of
supposed intelligence. (2014:103)

When it gets tough for those believing in Me, it means theyve got to ask Me for help, put their faith into action, and not
allow the devil and his forces to win or succeed against them. (2014:108)

Sometimes it pays to pay attention to what the desires of others are, and not just your own!
Sometimes you know that thing in theory, but to practice it in deed and in action is a lot tougher. (2014:129)

Its time to get back into connection with Me, and doing things to prepare you for whats coming. Get back into some more
action for Me (2014:144)

Instead of asking Me solely for information, its better and wiser to ask Me and My whole set of helpers for some action!
Especially, when one doesnt even really pay that much attention to what Im telling them, and wont put it into action
obey the things Im telling them to do.
Keep asking Me for action to help you!
Trusting in Me is shown by your constant action in asking Me for help and protection. (2014:155)

One who has started as a servant of Mine, but then doesnt keep up His action for Me, cant really expect the same
blessings he received while he did (2014:156)

Id prefer you so much more to become more useful and active for My purpose, and introduce Me to more people and
folks! (2014:175)

The receiving of money shouldnt be your major motivation for your actions. (2014:203)

All in all, you shouldnt be too concerned about your action in the world scene, but be more concerned about My will for
you and the role Id like you to take on. (2015:15)

The devil takes advantage of every bad thing hell be allowed to make happen to disobedient children of God
So, it would be good to repent for those actions that brought it on, and discipline and change your own behavior, so that
nothing else bad or even worse will happen to you. Certain actions just cannot be blessed (2015:17)

The more something affects and becomes part of your mind and action, the closer to you it gets.
And if its Heaven, its the best one can live for. (2015:19)
16
I know its tough times youre having to go through, and I wish to keep you out of it as much as possible, but it depends a
lot on you and your actions and willingness and eagerness of communication and staying in touch with Me. Make it
constant. (2015:43)

My believers and followers dependence on Me is what makes their faith and their actions work. (2015:67)

Theres quite some action thats required to get victories and even folks working in the System realize that often its
better to stay in action in order to stay in a good mood. (2015:89)

Try to make all the progress you can in your faith, and putting it into action! (2015:90)

Acting victoriously means, youll know by faith that Ill win the ultimate victory, and by believing it, youll be one of the
victors, too. (2015:104)

A lot depends on you, your action, and what you do, and the most important thing to do right now is to ask Me and all of
Heaven Above for help through fairly desperate prayer!
Its not your carnal abilities that will strengthen others confidence and trust in you, but positive faith in Me and the fruits of
it visible in your life, behavior and action that they can see.
Expect miracles! You might as well keep it in mind and keep believing and trying to put it into action! (2015:125)

Love is ultimately a better force to allow to rule you and your actions than money or other selfish motivations, and learning
how to let this rule your life is going to be the main way of the future thats coming! (2015:131)

Let Me work and be active through you again, and lets see what well get accomplished! (2015:133)

Its better to pay attention to My input, and act on it, instead of just staying concerned about your physical jobs and work
for your finances and survival (2015:138)

The key theme and entire meaning of life as the very nature of the Creator is love and thats manifested by your
actions, and not just by the theoretical setup of your mind! (2015:140)

The time comes to put into action what Ive been trying to teach you.
Do you think I would have been preaching to you so much about that, if it would be too hard or impossible to put into
action?
If youre being a bad sample with your deeds, actions and behavior, its not going to result in blessings, and thus not in the
joy youd like to get out of life.
The right actions and behavior will result in the right kind of blessings, accordingly. (2015:148)

When things start to get difficult, thats the time to really learn to put your trust in Me! And, well, the easy times seem to be
over, so its time to put that into action! (2015:151)

Its easier to put your faith in words than into action. So, why not try the latter for a change, even if its a challenge? Live it,
instead of just preaching it!
It would be nice to have someone in you whos practicing what hes been preaching, wouldnt it? Yeah kind of rare, but
thus: all the more precious! (2015:184)

The important thing to do when you get up and do things is to keep your mind directed at Me! (2015:194)

You may not feel that active anymore, and it makes you feel a little bad. But remember that I already told you that those
things would eventually have to change!
Sometimes it is better to learn to have Me do things for you through prayer, than insisting on doing it all yourself in your
own strength and power. (2015:206)

To make it through life victoriously, of course, is My will for you, but it does depend a lot on you, your action and
permanent behavior and obedience to the rules from Up Here.
A lot depends on you and your action, behavior and obedience to My Word.
Complaining about the state and condition of the circumstances of the world around you wont help, but clinging to My
Promises to help My folks through it all if they trust in Me and put that trust into action is the solution to it all, so use it!
A lot of it depends on your faith and attitude the way to put that faith into action! (2015:241)

In order to receive blessings, one has to act and behave accordingly, in obedience to My Words and My will.
Distinguish between the actions that will be blessed and those that wont!
Make yourself and your own actions mainly responsible for any negative incident that happened to you as punishment and
lesson to act better!
So, how hard or how tough life can be partly depends on your own actions and behavior!

17
It definitely pays to get the point about behaving and acting the proper way. If youll reap what youve sown, you better
learn how to sow the seeds. Which consist of your actions, behavior, and not least of all: your words. (2015:243)

If you want My Power and Spirit to work in your life the way it should, you've got to stick to the heavenly rules, and not
give Satan the chance to let part of his hell to take over in your actions and behavior! (2015:245)

Reaping what you sow is one of the biggest lessons in life concerning reaping the results of ones actions. Whatever folks
do will reap some results, and its important to learn the right kind of behavior and doing the proper type of things in order
to reap the more pleasant results of ones actions! (2015:246)

Putting Me first is an action for special folks and people, who are not that soaked up by the materialistic gear the enemy
has pretty much gotten the world into (2015:247)

If you want things to get better, it does depend a bit on you, your actions and behavior, since you just reap what you sow,
and the good in life doesnt come by itself, and bad things sown in life will rather reap the results of their own kind So,
how about focusing more on sowing the good stuff, much more likely to bring good results? (2015:249)

Knowing all these truths in theory should enable you to cope with some actions and incidents in your life according to
them (2016:23)

The way you live and act speaks louder than any sermon or any words. And those will only take the power they should by
being enhanced through the proper sample and how you act and live!
Love is the mightiest force there can be! So, stick to, and cling to it act and move through It!
Yes, life could and should be better, but a lot of it depends on you and your actions! If you act and behave the wrong way,
you shouldnt be too shocked if what you reap from it are the wrong and unpleasant results!
Life can become a misery when you dont act better and dont do better things that would make you also deserve them.
So, your actions and what you do is very important to determine what your life will turn out like! In other words: a lot
depends on you and your deeds and actions!
When you ought to know better, its dreadful when you dont act according to what youve learned and been taught! (2016:32)

Dont just gear your actions according to your desires and what you want, but become more geared toward Our will for
you!
Gear your faith and accordingly, your actions toward the unseen! (2016:35)

I am the Savior, and passing on the Salvation I came to offer to mankind is your job and task. So, keep your mind and
actions geared toward that job! (2016:36)

Get a more positive attitude, and let it result in more positive action! (2016:40)

Blessings require some positive acts and attitudes, whereas the negative ones automatically draw their results upon the
ones with negative attitudes and actions.
So, dont blame it on Me, if your actions arent bearing positive fruits and results, but yourself!
And change your actions and behavior accordingly!
A lot of what you reap depends on the sort of action you sow!
Negative actions wind up with negative results!
If you want to reap more positive results, sow the seeds with some more positive actions and attitudes! Negative actions
will bring forth negative results.
Those who lack faith often also lack the accordingly positive attitude, and show more negative action.
So, still have some faith in what you cant see? At the moment? If so, youre what folks need to see with the right kind
of attitude and actions, accordingly in order to accept what you believe in, even if they or you cant see it in the
physical right now! (2016:49)

Lifes a lesson on what not to do, how not to behave and act, if you want to do it the proper way Our way.
It will all make the most sense when you get Here and find out how heavenly folks act and behave! But the more you could
learn already down there about not to do it, would definitely be an advantage, especially for others Id like you to reach
with Our message.
So, to work on your acts and behavior is certainly one of the tasks to be accomplished down there. (2016:57)

Positive action is highly recommended! And no wonder, laziness is considered something definitely negative. So, stay
on the positive side with some positive action! Amen?
It may be tough for you to come up with the necessary energy for it, but thats one thing you should definitely ask and pray
for! Ask and youll receive the energy you need! Which makes prayer pretty much the most important part of your
actions. (2016:58)

Trust in Me, that Ill always keep blessing the act of giving and sharing what youve got!
Giving is one of the most important actions in life. (2016:62)

18
The quality of your life absolutely depends on whose voice youre going to listen to and follow in your deeds and actions.
Its basically the question: are you going to do right or wrong, what the future of each individual depends on. (2016:67)

If you want to become a saint, youre just going to have to learn how to start acting like one! (2016:71)

Remember the importance of putting My counsel into action!

Learn to put it into practice, that counsel of availing yourself of Our heavenly Strength, Power and wisdom to make it up
ahead, through the coming darkest times of world history! (2016:75)

When you realize that youve spent a lot of your time receiving the input, but neglect to actually apply the principal part of
it now thats a top example of receiving heavenly counsel without putting it into action!
Time over to just focus on theories and input for your brain, and high time to put the basics of it into action!
Become an active sample of what youre believing in theory! (2016:76)

The passive love motion, of only receiving love is not it, and it could be the biggest mistake to be making in life.
Whereas the active mode of giving love away, even when theres nothing coming from the other side now thats what
makes love turn into the Real Thing!
So, think youll get it made, giving love away, instead of just passively expecting to receive it? (2016:88)

Our concern for you is greater than the concern about what you manage to do for Us! Action was and is in some ways an
important topic, but Attitude is even more so, since trying to do the right kind of action with a wrong sort of attitude isnt
all that promising, either, of good results.
So, dont be too concerned about a lack of action, but come to realize that the right sort of attitude is what will bring the
proper sort of action about! (2016:83)

Even if theres not a lot of carnal activity you can boast of, trust Me that its the spiritual activity thatll help you make it
through the days to come! (2016:97)

Put My counsel into action! (2016:98)

Actions are always followed by repercussions (2016:102)

Aim your actions and intents of the heart on the fact that Good and God will be the final Winners, and that as My follower
you should to all you can to stay on that path, even if it may seem a tough one in a world currently still ruled by evil!
(2016:112)

Your blessings are going down if you cant put into practice what youre supposed to be learning from Me! (2016:120)

Reasons for complaint and discontent are quite often the results of ones own actions and reaping whats been sown.
(2016:124)

Remember that folks reap what theyve sown the results of their previous actions and attitudes! (2016:137)

Youve got to be a doer of My Word, not a hearer only!

Put My counsel about rising above and overcoming into action!
I know, its an act of faith but also an experience that will help you strengthen your faith by putting it into action.
Faith shouldnt just be a theoretical mindset, but has to be put into action. (2016:144)

The right here and now is more visible, and thus more important, and thus, more relevant concerning most folks
actions on the planet but thats the big difference between My followers and the large majority of the world population:
My true followers actions dont coincide with theirs, and neither will the results of fruits thereof. (2016:146)

The right here and now is more visible, and thus more important, and thus, more relevant concerning most folks
actions on the planet but thats the big difference between My followers and the large majority of the world population:
My true followers actions dont coincide with theirs, and neither will the results of fruits thereof.
In a world run by the flesh and carnal efforts, its an act of faith to place your actions, works and deeds into the Realm of
the Spirit. (2016:146)

The present is in some ways more relevant than both, past and future. It matters more what you can receive, absorb, or
even do right now, in some ways, than whats been done or you might do in the future.
So, get more into the groove of present action and reception! Let the right now matter more to you than past or future
since its what youve got and got to deal with right now!
It depends a lot on what youre doing not getting absorbed into what you will do.
What can you do right now to get you a step forward?
Try to put that on the top of your to-do list of daily activities: Tuning in to what Ive got to give you and tell you today!
Make what matters most whatever youve got to do, and find out from Me how to or what to do, if youre not quite sure, and
pray for My Help and anointing to do whatever there is to do in the right way and spirit!
19
What matters is not the quantity of your actions and activities, but the quality, and what youre putting into and what
motivates you right now.
When youre concerned about or interested in applying the best quality, remember what it amounts to, as far as Im
concerned: Love! Its what matters most, so, keep it in heart and mind, which equals: your soul! Make your soul a soul of
Love! And accordingly, your actions and their fruits and results! (2016:148)

Some of the advice and counsel, along with the Promises Im giving you, depend on what youll be making out of them,
and how you act on them Theyre Promises of the good that will happen as long as you stay on My track which the
enemy, of course, will do all in his facilities to deter you from; which is why I keep telling you also to keep fighting and
resisting him and his temptations.
The positive outlook of what will happen if you act on My counsel and advice, along with its Promises, should have an
uplifting effect on you, and thus keep you in a more hopeful gear than just by glooming at the dreadful circumstances and
conditions. (2016:154)

When faults and flaws are made up with unusual amounts, actions and habits of faith, such as coming to Us to get our
input on a nearly daily basis stuff like that just makes Us overlook those flaws! (2016:156)

How much easier it is to preach things than putting them into action!
The action and the doing the practicing of what you believe in is so important when it comes to the difference between
acting it out and applying it, and only being aware and conscious of the theories.
Acting out the truth instead of just knowing it is the big difference. - The only one that will make a difference around you.
So, seeing one of the major themes and aspects of lessons yet to learn? Putting into action what you know in theory!
Dont just mentally absorb the lessons of life, but put them into practice! Become a living sample of My Powers, not just a
theoretical re- and perceiver of them!
Doing it what you know is what counts! (2016:160)

Its time to start putting all My counsel to you into action.

Time to plant My seeds deeply into your heart to let them bring forth fruit in you, which should result in some positive
action! (2016:166)

Youve got to put that faith in Us into action! (2016:170)

Theres the factor whether you just want to passively enjoy good and easy times, or put some action into being a positive
influence to those around you. (2016:172)

Sometimes good times have to be waited for and depend on the good things you sow, since thats basically what youll
reap from your actions, attitude and behavior. (2016:177)

Heavenly action is the one involved in helping Our servants to do and perform the action. (2016:178)

How much will you regret not having believed enough to act on My Word and input just because what I was telling you
may not have been happening right away? (2016:183)

Do your best to make things better, become a sample how to do things and act better and dont let things going on
around you influence and affect you to the point where you even become worse!
So, yes, the world is a mess, but dont let that make an even bigger mess out of you!
Youre supposed to change it little by little for the better But how can you do that if you allow circumstances to make you
act even worse than what you accuse others of? (2016:186)

The willingness and vacuum to listen to Me is one of the most precious assets one can have along with putting that
input into action, of course. (2016:196)

The folks who base their actions of their faith and trust in Us and the Hereafter are a tiny minority, which is why I said, the
chosen are few.
To be one of the chosen ones, one has to make the right choices, in favor of Gods will instead of their own.
So, can you make that choice for the option that seems by far the tougher and more difficult?
Thats basically the question. And the correct answer isnt just a verbal yes, but depends on the choices in your actions.
While the Word of God is a powerful Force, when it comes to the words of man, they differ so much from their actions, that
the action has become a much more significant ingredient compared to his mere words, which in vast difference to the
Father he may stick to or just decide he wont.
Another sign of the vast difference between God and man: His Words coincide with His actions (even if a bit later than
often expected by humans), whereas mans words too many times simply wont.
While through the Word of God everything was created, the words of man have to first be confirmed by his actions.
(2016:208)

Doing what you know is the right thing, and acting according to your belief, thats what Id call the magic.

20
Not doing what you know is the right thing is the lack of it, and probably one of the main reasons for the world becoming
such a mess. (17:2)

Remember that all your actions will bear their results, and thus its important to keep an eye on what sort of action youre
putting forth! (17:5)

Its a significant difference these days to represent some life-stimulating and creating actions down there. (17:10)

Its good to get into a change of action. (17:12)

Ive given you a lot of counsel and many tips. Now its time for you to put them into practice and put to action what Ive
been telling you.
I supply for My followers and believers, and the Father does for His children even if you may consider yourself unworthy
because of a lack of deserving actions! (17:24)

Remember the Action-part as a motivational attempt to get into better situations! (17:25)

Many folks in the Bible ended up with the results of their actions and deeds; and knowing My Word, you shouldnt be too
surprised and shocked if youre reaping unpleasant results from yours.
Youre dependent on Heavens Help. Now, it requires some spiritual action, thats why youve got to remember not to let
the enemy drag you into that passive mode! Get active through prayer and praise, and whatever positive action you can
think of and come up with! (17:26)

In order to create a beautiful world, it unfortunately first takes for many to learn what sort of action makes an ugly one out
of it. (17:32)

You have to get into a positively active gear in order to be blessed.

So, if the blessings are missing, dont blame Me, but check your actions and incentives for causing that lack!
Useful action is an important utility to stay alive and supporting oneself. It just depends on what sort of action and
support, whether I also can bless it, and its not just being blessed and rewarded by the world around you.
Just remember that not everything is pre-programmed, but a lot still depends on your initiative and according action!
While the useful action for Me may be a greater challenge than the usual and common one of action just for money,
remember to see the good in that challenge of Mine! (17:36)

Having both, the tempter and accuser if you fell for his temptation in charge down there is a rough one, I know but
thats just the result and consequence of the humans wrong choices and according deeds and actions. (17:39)

Take on the responsibility for your choices and actions or deeds!

The word indeed for truly or as a matter of fact is based on what you do, your actions!
So, be more mindful of them, and more considerate of their effect on those around you, and what the overall picture of
your life will leave behind! (17:83)

The results of actions are not just rewards and blessings. If theyre the wrong type of actions, they can bring severe and
painful results.
So, a lot depends on you! You reap what you sow, and you cannot just blame your Lord and Master for allowing the
wrong things to happen, when theyre just a result of your deeds and action!
Actions bring results. If the results of your actions arent what you like, wouldnt that implicate that a different kind of
actions is whats needed?
If what youre reaping is of questionable, if not downright negative quality, shouldnt that make you wonder about what
youve been sowing through your actions?
If the results are negative, doesnt that clearly imply that so were the actions and whatever caused them?
A lot - if not most - of what results from life depends on choices and according actions.
Samples: the living action of My Input.
Obedience means putting My Words into action. (17:92)

Its not another sermon the world needs, but living samples of faith.
Thats why human actions are more important than their words.
Dont let the enemy defeat you, but resist him through your faith and convictions, becoming visible to others through your
actions!
Make faith a living attitude and conviction in your life that others will be able to see through your actions, your life-style,
and whatever you can bring forth from it! (17:94)

Prayer shouldnt be too much to put into action! (17:96)

Want good fruits? Sow good seeds! Want good results? Make the right choices for the right actions! (17:106)

21
Sometimes other factors are more important than action. Like making sure youre on the right channel first. Plus, being
aware of the things your enemys up to in order to hinder you or cause you to go in the wrong direction
Better to pause and wait for the action, before you know which direction to go
One of the best actions? To wait on the Lord. Making sure youll be doing the right things. (17:112)

The Spirit World is pretty much from where just about all human actions, and thus, history, are being inspired, and thus
led. - Either by the good, or the evil forces (17:113)

The endless hearers of sermons, without ever being appliers of a single sermon they hear, should drive home the need and
necessity for true followers of Mine, folks who dont just hear and never do it or act on what they hear, but those who
actually live and act on My Word.
Action and samples are so much more important than sermons. Especially when none of the listeners make any effort to
act on what theyve just heard. (17:117)

You were wondering, How do you connect Action and Patience?

To connect those two, you have to also realize that patience and trust are connected.
Its the spiritual action that counts the most to Me, and that simply requires patience, as in waiting on Me.
And thats where the faith and trust come in to believe that the Spirit is simply more important than action in the flesh.
(17:121)

To become doers of the Word Im giving you is the secret. Hearers only are a shame.
It all depends on doing what Im telling you. - On obedience. Hearers only are deceiving themselves.
It has to become a living Force in your life, coming to life through action doing it. (17:148)

22
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Anger

Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Ephesians 4:26

Prove your maturity by refraining from wrath! (I:99)

Let anger be far from your heart! Refrain from anger and cursing lips! (I:297)

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
Ive had toward you, and it might help you to wink at the faults of others a little more... (I:300)

Anger manifested in criticism of other people's mistakes is a pretty bad habit!

It's a form of pride and self-righteousness where you become so upset about people's mistakes and lack of perfection that
you start getting angry about it. It's a lack of love and a very ugly form of pride. (I:444)

Anger is just one letter away from danger. (II:23)

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, and 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 and 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. (II:202)

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 and let Me deal with it on My terms!
It's no use, taking the rod of wrath into your own hands and to lash out words of anger, just commit it to Me! (II:316)

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 and 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 and 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. (II:359)

Satan exposed right there, because he makes you think you're a "prisoner," a captive of those mistakes and flaws of
others, that you're going to have to deal with and 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!

23
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! (II:499)

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 and 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. (II:548)

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. (III:55)

You can't judge others simply because of their nationality! That's the kind of generalization and bias that cause the type of
aggressions that lead to wars in the long run. (III:84)

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. (III:166)

A deep anger, a righteous rage is 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. (III:297)

Anger can keep you from love by making you easily feel aggravated and annoyed by the quirks of others, causing you to
become impatient with them, or self-righteous. (III:368)

Nothing else than love will enable you to do things for Me that will make a difference.
There wont be any need to be angry with anyone anymore, because youll know all is forgiven, all things will be well, and
youll 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. (III:394)

Anger is a tough one to crack because it requires a change of attitude. You cant take the circumstances and what life is
handing you, gracefully. You are convinced it ought to be different. You cant let it be.
The right attitude to conquer anger would be: Let it be! Let it be the way I know its 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 Im doing. (III:415)

Remember whos the author behind getting annoyed and aggravated. Its 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 childrens 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 cant 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.

24
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 thats precisely why parents get annoyed by their childrens undesirable traits: theyre a reflection of their own, and
their pride usually makes it pretty hard for them to deal with that. (III:436)

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. (III:593)

The enemys the one you should direct your anger against, and whom you should fight accordingly. (IV:28)

The devils intention is to get your eyes off Me and make you become bitter or angry toward folks, and occupy your mind
with the injustices in this world. (IV:130)

Try to remember to stay a little more faithful and loyal to Me next time youre tempted to give Me the blame for some
unpleasant circumstance or when you get angry or upset
Perhaps youll manage not to blame or judge Me, but to just take it graciously. Yes, it may be a test, and I may have allowed
it. But just because its a test and I allow it, why not try to pass it, instead of flunking it by acting exactly in the way you
shouldnt? (IV:205)

Anger isn't going to help. It's not going to improve anything; only make matters worse. You're only doing yourself harm
with your anger, and joining everyone else in making things worse, instead of better. (IV:261)

Angry impatience has been one of the biggest threats to maintaining the peace within relationships (IV:373)

You need to learn that it is not I who am your enemy, and thus funnel your anger against the appropriate sources of your
anguish, if at all. Of course, the best would be if you would just learn how to bear all these things that get you enraged a
little more in stride. (IV:436)

Youll know that the Guy in charge knew what He was doing all along, after all, and there wasnt half a reason to get so
upset and uptight about it all wondering where this would lead. (2011:19)

Lifes a pain sometimes, maybe even much of the time, but I promise that if you take it with a grain of salt and a healthy
portion of humor, itll be a lot less bitter.
Yes, theres a lot to get upset about, if you take it seriously. But youve got the choice whether youre going to get upset
about it or laugh about it. Which do you think I consider the better option? (2011:116)

The experiences when you have to temporarily make do without something youre usually dependent on, teach you not to
take it for granted. You naturally get upset when you dont have them or they dont work anymore as they should, but did
you really appreciate and thank Me for them in the first place?
Youre vociferous about your displeasure with your loss, but how about your praise when you still had them? (2011:146)

Folks are mad at Me, and you know how that feels. The difference is that I know better than to let that anger make Me feel
guilty. I know its your hearts that are evil by nature, not Mine
In fact, all that blame and anger projected on Me are nothing more than symptoms of that evil and a grossly distorted
perception of things. (2012:146)

If you allow the Devil to aggravate you, it will hurt those who have put some degree of hope and trust in you, who expected
you to be someone special, who could bring positive changes, or some new whiff and breath of fresh air into their lives
Would you really like to allow your anger to risk destroying all that? (2013:44)

Just be open toward changes, and handle those new things as lessons to learn! Better than resisting just about anything
and everything that happens.
Try to handle it all properly: without anger! (2014:165)

Time to get rid of that anger in your life! Time to gain strength over that weakness! Time to resist the enemy of your soul
and not give him anymore access to you, your habits and behavior! Get the victory over him, and dont let him get it over
you! (2015:10)

Anger can have quite negative results in your life, which are going to teach you the uselessness of it in the long run.
(2015:145)

Not managing to resist the attacks of the enemy, just as in even Moses case, they can have their negative results, like him
not being able to make it with his people to the Promised Land, but having to die before they got there because of anger!

25
Let Moses example of punished anger keep reminding you to stay away from it as much as you can! Otherwise you may
reap what you sowed and might have to put up with some consequences of the Fathers anger you may have turned on
you, which may then call on you the kind of chastisement you have to deal with!
It certainly results in better fruits to be humble and peaceful!
Showing and manifesting anger is certainly not a sign or demonstration of love so, if you want to behave more
according to the main Force of the Father, let it be love, much rather than anger even though it might help you to
understand and relate to why He has to show up with some manifestations of it, eventually.
And if youre tempted to get angry, especially resist the temptation to get angry at Us, which you should be able to tell, is
definitely result of one of the enemys moves you shouldnt let him make you fall for!
Letting others failure drag you into anger, would be just what the devil would like, just as he cheered over it when he got
Moses into it, resulting in his punishment with death!
And though it happened long ago, still applicable nowadays for everyone battling with anger!
Let anger depart from you, and instead, become meek! (2015:165)

Somehow youve got to become aware of how the enemys fighting you and tempting you to get angry or mad learn how
to stay on the defensive!
Do you have to keep getting mad at us when things are not flowing perfectly? (2015:169)

Instead of getting mad at the Father and Me, why not get mad at the enemy, and do all you can to get him and his
influences out of your mind and your life, kick him out at last, and give Us the full and only authority over your heart and
mind and entire being? (2015:185)

The fact that you still get so angry and upset when things aren't exactly moving the way you want them, shows that there's
still some progress to make, and hurdles to overcome! (2015:230)

Youll be able to understand how peoples behavior can stir up the Fathers anger at times (2015:246)

It is I and your helpers from Up Here who can teach you some of the qualities youre lacking and help you to overcome
those weaknesses based on sin, like anger, impatience, and whatever plagues you! (16:1)

Instead of letting the things that life brings make you angry, allow them to make you humbler and more compassionate,
remembering that others have to go through far worse sufferings! (2016:47)

Self-righteous anger is a danger! (2016:120)

Some weaknesses like anger just take lifetimes to deal with. Look at Moses! (2016:186)

Talking in anger is just something that has to be dealt with in order to learn the lessons of the results that bears.
Angers not good, and you have to learn to resist that when you feel it coming along!
Taking lifes circumstances without getting angry or upset about them is one of the lessons of life. - To take things as they
come without murmuring, or - worse - developing an angry mood against your Creator.
Work on those moods, and especially on keeping anger out of there!
What to you think made Cain kill his better brother?
What caused Moses to miss his entry to the Promised Land?
He missed that opportunity because of anger.
Angers a big NWO to learn to overcome.
Its not comparable to the wrath of God, and especially not when it makes Me and the Father and Our allowance Who and
what youre most upset about. (17:78)

Dont get upset, but remember that youre not perfect, either! (17:91)

26
 What Jesus Had 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. (I:39)

The attitude of demanding part of your reward already on Earth is like the prodigal son asking for his inheritance to go off
and squander it. Its reigning a little now and foregoing certain privileges later. (I:74)

For centuries and 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 Im going
to take it, only to find out that someone is going to have to pay the fiddler in the end. (I:91)

Its vital to have a thankful attitude. (I:132)

Check your thoughts and bring them before Me: Lord, is this attitude really Yours that Im having? Try the spirits,
especially the ones that enter your own mind! (I:182)

Give thanks in every situation you find yourself in and youll see its up to you and your attitude what will become of it!
Even the worst situations can turn into good and lead to a better one, if youve simply got the right attitude, one of trust
and of thankfulness for whatever I bring. (I:200)

You must change your attitude and stand up for the conviction that your time is Mine, you are not your own. (I:206)

Hiding behind the excuse that you cant do the job because, theres hardly anyone else doing it either, just wont cut the
cake. That kind of attitude never won a war or revolution, and I will hold you personally responsible for any loss that you
could have prevented. (I:230)

Youve got to get rid of some of your excess weight and baggage, inappropriate habits and attitudes that dont come in
handy when fighting a war. (I:235)

Gratitudes an attitude you cant do without as friends! Show your appreciation by returning kind deeds of love! (I:262)

You have really only just begun to learn, and the best attitude to have is to know that you know nothing. (I:277)

Thats the Devils religion: You dont have to thank anyone, because everything youve got, youve only got because you
worked for it yourself! If youve got that kind of an attitude, youre actually spiritually dead. (I:278)

Its 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. (I:280)

You just need to take on a winners attitude! (I:295)

It hurts Me when My saved children still wander through life with an attitude of but I still havent found what Im looking
for.... (I:309)

I test you and see how you will behave even if you dont receive your hearts desire. Whether you will have a murmuring
attitude about it or stay cheerful, loving, giving and thankful for those things I do bless you with. (I:332)

Before the position of your heart is right, it acts like the wrong pole of a magnet: it pushes people away. (I:333)

Its the attitude of the heart that makes the difference.

Id like people to come to the point where they have the attitude, I want to give keep on giving... (I:334)

Im going to give and keep going forward, even if Im the only one; even if no one else does. Hes loved me so much, how
can I give Him back any less than all I can? Thats the attitude that makes more than conquerors and turns losers into
winners. (I:362)

Reason is the hoarding, stingy, selfish and self-preserving, so-called realistic attitude. Generosity is an open heart that
pours forth; it can do no other. (I:365)

Keep an attitude of trust! (I:403)

27
Have a positive attitude!
Better to be surprised than causing failure by your expecting failure and negative attitude! (I:409)

Don't be fooled or influenced by the skeptical, doubtful, incredulous mindset of the blinded masses. (I:421)

Peace and happiness speak louder than any words. A calm and silent loving conviction and attitude of faith, a sample of
living what you preach, will win the hearts of those who are willing to give Me a chance. (I:439)

Your happiness in this life depends on your obedience, your attitude and 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 and 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. (I:449)

Anybody can murmur and go through life with a "Why me?" attitude and expect more out of life than they're willing to
invest. But the overcomers - and that's what I have called and 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 and their needs and are
driven by compassion for them. (I:457)

Have a loving, merciful attitude! (I:459)

My attitude has always been, "to hell with the proper way!"
The ways and attitudes of man, always reject the ways and 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 and chains of conformity, and you must decide whether you're going to live with them or not. (I:460)

Make sure you're aware of all the good things I heap on you, so that you can have a more positive attitude and outlook on
life and enjoy it more! (I:492)

Satan's executives of the hatred and disdain he has for mankind are that attitude of resigning to negativity and
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. (I:506)

It's got to be your view, your focus, your attitude that's going to have to change. Changing the world starts with you. (I:517)

A selfish and independent road of pride and 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. (I:521)

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 and 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 and weaknesses just like your own, you categorize them and exclude them from your
life. (I:529)

Have a giving attitude, not that of one who is just consuming! (I:573)

It's not an attitude of complacency I want My children to have, but one of alertness and desperation.
You've got to show by your attitude that you're real, not just another fake and phony with half-hearted or selfish motives.
Pray desperately each day for Me to show you what is the right attitude to have. (I:586)

Have a praiseful attitude! (I:589)

Wrong attitudes, aggressions, bitterness and pride affect your freedom more than any person ever can. (II:34)

Take on an "I can" attitude! Believe that you can! Because it's true! (II:37)

Have more of a "Jesus" attitude, the attitude of a shepherd that would give his life for the sheep. (II:81)

You've got to have a winning attitude with everyone: with your kids, with your brethren, and with strangers! (II:84)

It requires a change of attitude in order to get to the point where you consider others worthy of your effort to help them, to
reach out to them - to walk the uncomfortable path and go out of your way and sacrifice of your own comfort in order to
make it easier for others and lighten their load. (II:98)

28
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, and so they give all the
glory, honor and credit for it right back to Me, for "what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" (II:125)

Whenever discontentment attacks, you must realize that something is wrong, not with your situation, but with your own
attitude and spirit, and you must ask Me to show you where the enemy found a way in. (II:126)

When somebody is going through serious trials, nothing will help them as much as your taking on a serious and sober
attitude, showing solidarity, genuine concern and 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. (II:134)

Search your heart for hidden motivations, wrong attitudes, which could lead you up the wrong path! (II:170)

If you have the right attitude and the right amount of love for people, the right incentive, then nothing is impossible. (II:219)

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!
(II:246)

Loving people in spite of their flaws is an ability I appreciate and will reward much more than any attitude of wanting to
know how much smarter you are than everybody else, including Me and My prophets! It's an attitude thing! You can
choose yours. (II:255)

In order to really get ready for Me, what you need is a desperate, not a complacent attitude! (II:274)

"I can do it myself. I can take care of myself."

You may not be consciously thinking that, but your attitude in excluding Me from your activities, your failure to
acknowledge Me in all of them, speaks louder than words. (II:286)

To maintain a positive attitude and outlook towards people that tend to strike you negatively or give you battles and trials
is a very important thing, because so much is determined by the way you see others: your ability to successfully live and
work with them, which will affect your fruitfulness for Me, your unity, your general happiness and outlook on life, as well as
theirs, and it will affect their decisions and desire to continue to serve and follow Me or not.
So, it's important to maintain a positive attitude, an attitude and spirit of forgiveness and of love that casts a veil over a
multitude of sins and shortcomings. (II:297)

Your attitude is so important...whether you're understanding of their battles and trials, whether you're truly compassionate.
(II:304)

Find those who don't have an attitude of, "I'm not searching anymore; I've already got it!" (II:327)

If somebody makes the obviously wrong choice, the right attitude to have about it is not a self-righteous, judgmental one,
where you separate yourself from them totally, with an attitude of "I never would have done that," but rather one of
knowing that it could happen to anyone to fall like that, and that it's only My grace that can keep you from falling.
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. (II:329)

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 and
everything. (II:340)

The problem is with the hearts of the people, what's within, it's their attitudes, and that's something hard to get rid of or to
deal with. Something has to happen from the inside.
You've got to allow Me to shatter your old bottle attitudes, mindsets and carnal dogmas you cling to, that which you
"know" and think you're so sure of! (II:345)

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If you fail or refuse to accept your title and spiritual rank of one of My
ambassadors and 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. (II:356)

There are so many details and factors and 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. (II:371)

29
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 and gluttonous attitude of the leading nations
of the world... (II:375)

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. (II:385)

What you need is a change of attitude, not a change of circumstances. Once your own heart, attitude and view is changed,
you're going to be a lot more effective in helping to change other hearts, attitudes and points of view. (II:417)

Just as you would find it wonderful if your child would come to you and ask, "Is there anything I can do to help you
today?" and 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 and possibilities in which you could be
of help in order to further My Cause. (II:421)

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, and their viewpoints...
The Endtime events didn't happen as early as expected, and the radical spirit and fire of the folks has suffered a blow from
the attitude of "all things will continue as they were," and, of course, this is precisely the same attitude of churchy
Christians who are building their lives on the shifting sands of this world. (II:425)

What counts most of all is your attitude of trust!

Come to Me in faith, knowing that everything's under My perfect control! (II:435)

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). (II:440)

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.
If you take Me with you wherever you go and in whatever you do, you'll be ready and prepared for whatever bad news or
circumstances less than perfect you may encounter. Nothing will so easily defeat you and get you out of the victory then. But it's
a mindset you have to fight to acquire. To not just put Me on like something you use when you feel like it. (II:442)

If you've got the 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. (II:451)

As long as you seek to accomplish anything that will boost or strengthen or secure your own ego, it's the wrong attitude.
(II:458)

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 and effectiveness. (II:471)

It's a matter of attitude and mindset. You just need to set your mind to do these things, to observe them, and to keep them
up. They've got to become rules in your life that you keep, and that are stronger than circumstances, you won't bend them.
(II:472)

You need to keep an advancing attitude! You've got to seize the opportunities, seize the day and not just let it pass you by.
You've got to have a conquering attitude, not one of mere preservation of what you've got! (II:474)

Always maintain a grateful attitude! (II:492)

Why not show your gratitude by displaying an attitude that doesn't merely expect to receive, but a giving attitude, even a
sacrificial attitude? (II:509)

Only with a victorious attitude will you also emerge from any given situation, challenge or fight as victor. (II:523)

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. (II:542)

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
30
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.
(II:563)

Certain experiences can bring about changes in your attitudes, which will enable you to handle situations with renewed
zest and energy, and in different ways. (II:572)

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. (II:581)

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. (II:623)

Don't get stuck in any old mindsets, even if you "already have the truth!" Good for you! But what is the truth that I want to
teach you today? What is the lesson, the metanoia, the revelation for this day? (II:625)

If you'd go through your days and lives with more of an attitude that you really don't know anything, instead of the usual
know-it-all attitude, you'd be amazed how much helpful stuff there is yet to learn out there... (II:633)

Life is a constant confrontation with the forces of evil, and its best to arm yourself for it, instead of seeking to shun it constantly.
Some confrontations you simply cant avoid. And if you avoid them, you run the chance of the other party - your opponent - taking
advantage of you and your passive attitude. (II:635)

With a giving attitude, you'll never return empty-handed. (III:10)

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?
(III:78)

The ones whose behavior and attitudes you care about are your own children. Likewise, I care about you. What interests
Me is your attitude. (III:100)

When someone drags that attitude of, "Oh well, God's not all that important" around with them into the lives of others and
try to make Me equally less important in others lives as I've become in their own, that's where you've got to put your foot
down and show that you won't nudge, that you won't adapt your sense of priorities to theirs. (III:112)

The less you do to counter enemy input in their life, and the more passive your attitude about the whole issue becomes,
the more you're giving in to the enemy and allowing him slowly but surely to take the reins. (III:114)

There will come a time when circumstances will be too tough and too difficult to just "accept" them and take things the
way they are, and it would be good for you to train and prepare now, so you'll be ready then to face things in the
appropriate spirit and attitude of faith. (III:151)

When you adopt the mindset that everything has a purpose, you'll realize that even every problem has only the one
purpose to be a step upward for you to acquire greater wisdom, to challenge you to make yet another bit of progress.
(III:166)

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." (III:186)

I need you to have an attitude that will not give up or resign too quickly but is willing to go to any length for the sheep, in
order to draw them in. (III:204)

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.

31
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. (III:216)

You have to get rid of the mindset that anything would be too insignificant or unimportant for Me to care about. (III:230)

Pass on what you're receiving from Us. Not only in the form of the words you're receiving from Us, but also in the way you
act, your sample, your whole way of living, the attitude of faith that goes out from you. (III:239)

If you walk through life with the humble attitude that you can learn something from anyone, and anything they've got to
say, from any child or person, you'll find you'll develop a lot more patience with your fellowmen. (III:284)

You need a positive predisposition and attitude when you listen. You need to turn on your "ready" button: "Ready to learn
something," "Ready to absorb something." - Even if it isn't anything new. (III:307)

Own little concepts and perceptions of the world and mindsets simply often don't work out, and folks realize they ought to
try a different direction and head down a different track... (III:326)

My way of focusing is on a level of personal relationships.

Its all about communication, tuning in to each other, being considerate of each other, each other's needs, and being of a
helpful attitude toward each other.
Remember that everything, including your flaws and their flaws, works together for your good: I can use it all.
So if you manage to see them as a part of it and trust Me for it, and see them as something ultimately good, instead of so
terribly bad, then it's going to help you to have a more trustful attitude toward people. (III:340)

In the movies you always see the hero make up his mind reluctantly and at the last minute, to finally do his part and pitch
in, in order for good to win the battle.
In reality, thats an attitude very unlikely to ensure success. (III:387)

Short-sighted people figure that if they take care of their own needs first, then they'll be happy. But if you take care of what
needs to be done before the thing you'd personally prefer to do, you might find out that this actually would contribute
more to your happiness than that me-first attitude.
You need that giving attitude in order to make progress. (III:413)

Keep the fruits of the Spirit in connection with your witnessing and vice versa, and youll know what is the right attitude
and spirit to have.
In order to win some, youve got to be winsome, meaning, your composure, behavior, attitude and spirit weigh almost
more heavily than what you say. (III:421)

Youve been using the sub-standard attitudes youve seen in others as an excuse to lower your own, but Im not going to
let you get away with giving less than you could and ought to without suffering the consequences for it. (III:437)

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, isnt 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.
(III:441)

I want you to adopt an attitude about the money youre earning that makes you see that youve really been given that
money! Youve been given the opportunity to earn that money by My hand. (III:455)

Its so much better to have a humble attitude.

Is your attitude, I deserve better than that? Better than the way they treat you, better service, more attention, etc.?
Or are you doing what you can in order to make it better for them, too?
Are you living a life of service, or are you waiting to be served?
Putting yourself above others with an attitude of expectation to be waited upon is cheating yourself out of all the
blessings, since it is more blessed to give than to receive.
A humble attitude and a helpful one, doing what you can, even if its difficult for you is a whole lot better than a demanding
one, getting upset if theyre not around to cater to your needs and desires, etc.
Thats a very dangerous attitude to have. Usually people with that kind of an attitude dont live happily ever after
The best and safest way to ensure happiness is to take on a humble servants attitude and try to help others and make
them happy. (III:467)

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 youre the one whos being catered to, in which you pursue your
own interests, etc. (III:476)

32
Some situations dont 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 youve
been given, and how you handle them.
Everybody makes mistakes, and nobodys perfect; nobody has ever lived a perfect life of which they can say, I never
made any mistakes. Its 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 cant see their own faults as easily
as they see the faults of others. (III:504)

The wrong attitude to have would be not seeing your sin and guilt and thus not being able to learn anything out of life and
lifes circumstances. (III:512)

A self-righteous attitude wont improve anything. (III:519)

To think all things are okay as they are, no improvement needed, would be a fatally flawed attitude!
A humble attitude: the opposite of self-reliance. (III:520)

If you wont be moved by others wrong choices, it will also mean that your attitude toward them wont be much affected,
your love for them will remain strong and unconditional (III:531)

To give it your all for Me is a mindset, or rather a heart-set; an inner attitude and determination of the heart.
You know My Cause is worth living and dying for, and so, youre simply willing to give all, even unto death thats the kind
of attitude that makes disciples.
The humility that enables you to esteem one another higher than yourself: the only attitude that will ever empower you to
lay down your life for one another. (III:534)

The worst thing to have is an I already know it all attitude, insisting that everybody should see it their way. That is no
way to prevent trouble, but the way to cause trouble (III:538)

Things are usually not as bad as they seem to you, and a lot does depend on whether youre going to take on the attitude
of all is well (2 Kings 4:26) even in the face of calamities, or not. (III:539)

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.
You need a giving attitude and spirit, not one that seeks to be catered to, admired or loved, like Francis prayed, Help me
not to seek to be loved, but to love. (III:556)

Theres no use shifting you to a more favorable position. First weve got to cleanse you from rotten and spoiled attitudes,
and a little bit of hardship might be just what you need. (III:566)

Everything could be loads of fun if youd just change your attitude about it! (III:570)

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 dont like it, tough luck.
Its 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 (III:591)

The humble attitude of willingness to take the blame is always healthier and more conducive to peace and finding the
solution, than the self-righteous finger-pointing attitude of just blaming the other party.
We know you can do it is definitely better than a doubtful and skeptical attitude. (III:601)

With a half-hearted attitude, its going to take longer to get the job done!
I cant let you off the hook before you get the job done.
In My School, there is no graduating with bad grades!
Lets get it over with! is certainly not an attitude or mindset conducive to good work and a job done well and efficiently.
Its definitely not an attitude thats going to warrant a Well done thou good and faithful servant
There isnt 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 Im going to have to prolong
this class, this lesson, for as long as it takes for you to get it. I cant let you graduate without really actually having made it
and passed the test.
If youre going to hang in there, I need you to do it with a whole-hearted attitude. (IV:6)

A negative attitude is destructive. Its expedient that you change that mindset.
The wrong attitude to have is, If things arent the way I think they should be, why should I make any effort to change
them? Well, thats perhaps precisely why they are the way they are, so that you make an effort to evoke some kind of
difference. Maybe youre there to make that difference. Maybe thats why youre 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.
33
Its 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!
(IV:7)

Let a positive attitude shine through, instead of suspicion and doubt!

Make an effort to have a little bit of a believing and trusting attitude that Im capable of bringing the best out of a situation,
and that Im in full control! (IV:26)

Being open to change, wanting and desiring change and actively looking for it and for ways to change is precisely the
attitude thats needed: What can I do in order to make more progress, what should I change? etc.
In order to win spiritual battles, youre going to have to stir yourself up, and not allow yourself to settle down in a
comfortable rut, but steer away from seeking that kind of comfort. (IV:27)

Thats the problem with the world: They think they could have done better, not realizing that thats precisely the attitude
that has landed them in the mess theyre in. (IV:33)

Your attitude should always be that of a humble seeker for more, never thinking you have arrived, regardless of how much
I pour out to you.
Be open to look in new and different directions and ways of making progress and learning from Me. (IV:37)

I want you to maintain a loving attitude toward others, even if you can see foolishness and futility of the path theyve chosen.
(IV:43)

Sometimes its the little truths, the little right attitudes and the proper position of the heart that make life on a local and
practical level a lot more livable. (IV:70)

Once youre in the right spirit and attitude, I will also bring situations in your life where I can use you, and I will bring the
necessary inspiration and energy to work on certain projects, and show you which ones are the most needed (IV:72)

Sometimes your attitude seems to be that darkness is just one other mood or shade in intervals with the light. You
dont view it as the opposite of light that it is, nor as the enemy that it is, but you take it in this sort of passive attitude, as if
saying, Well, I guess thats just the way it is, and you get bitter, cynical and sarcastic over My having allowed that
unpleasant scenario to happen, when its not really I Who allowed it, but you did! You allow it to happen by refusing to
fight for the light, refusing to make an effort to stay in the light and on My wavelength.
You dont have to let the darkness in. You can make a choice to fight and refuse to let it in and focus on the light instead,
and decide that youre going to cling to a positive attitude instead! (IV:88)

Unity takes an attitude and a focus steered away from your own, personal and individual desires and goals, and what you
personally want to achieve as an individual, and replacing it with focus on the greater good and welfare of everyone. (IV:99)

A lot of problems have got something to do with a disbelieving attitude, and more of a positive, believing attitude of faith,
probably wouldnt even have the problem, because according to your faith be it unto you! (IV:109)

Criticizing Me for what Ive given you, murmuring in your heart about it, and failing to appreciate it, wont get you the
perfect world youd like to be living in. Thats just the same attitude people have who look at the flaws in the world and say,
Well, a perfect God would have certainly come up with something better than this less-than-perfect world. What they
dont know is that it was perfect to begin with, but it has deteriorated due to mans own choices.
In order to make the right choices, youre going to have to have the right attitude of trust in Me! (IV:114)

It all boils down to the question of whether your attitude is me first, or Jesus and others, then you. (IV:126)

Youre only forgiven to the extent you forgive others, so it pays to have a forgiving attitude. (IV:130)

If you have a believing attitude of Yes, Lord; I believe that youre going to do it, its going to be more helpful in bringing
about My plans, of course, than a doubting attitude (IV:132)

If you put on a students attitude, ready to learn something new from the situation you encounter, then you can be ready
for new lessons, and thus an expansion of your previous scope, and thus the scope of your wisdom and experience will
grow.
It all depends whether you encounter the situation in a yielded, ready and open and child-like spirit, or with a wise-guy
attitude, which makes you critical of anything new and different you encounter (IV:143)

If you really esteem anothers life above your own, thats an attitude that will shine through your actions and your
willingness to lay down your life for them daily in the way you live and die daily for them, in order to make their lives more
enjoyable, and not just seek your own pleasure.
To esteem anothers life a worthier cause to give your own for is a very noble thing, and its not just something that comes
to you in the split second when you die a martyrs death, but its an attitude you take on while you live a martyrs life. (IV:149)

34
When you wake up in the mornings, get ready for the day with an attitude thats prepared to give something! (IV:175)

Sometimes your victorious attitude in the face of seeming defeat will be all the sample needed for people to see the
strength of your character, which will lend greater credibility to what youve got to say and may make them curious about
the Source of your strength.
It sure helps if your actions and attitudes jibe with your words and the counsel you pass on to others. (IV:184)

Treat your circumstances impartially and stay in a victorious spirit and attitude, come rain or come shine!
What do you think your attitude should be when youre going through a lean stretch? Shouldnt you be rejoicing and
enjoying life just the same as when youre going through the good times? (IV:187)

The sad thing is that many peoples focus is basically all on themselves, and their concern is primarily with their own
welfare, even in their interactions with others: What can you or they do for me? is their question that determines their
attitude in life, and one thats bound to cause them to sadly fail and miss the point.
True progress is achieved through concern for others and developing an attitude that causes you to look around for
things you can do that may be of service to them, instead of constantly being on the lookout for someone to cater to your
personal well-being. Its the attitude of a servant, as opposed to that of a tyrant, and the choice between either of those two
is basically what determines your outcome in the final analysis of your life as either a winner or a loser. (IV:193)

An attitude of gratitude can change so many things, even if its just an interior change, but it sure affects the way you see
things.
If you thank Me for your situation and circumstances instead of complaining about them, youre bound to improve things. -
Whereas complaining has never really helped much under any circumstances.
Its true that some of the circumstances and conditions I allow to crop up in your life could be deemed questionable. But
perhaps Im testing you to see how youre going to take them, and whether youre going to have a positive and praiseful
attitude about them or youre going to get into a negative drift and start complaining and murmuring in your heart about
them.
When youre not quite sure about it, you tend to stay neutral about it and have a lets wait and see whats to become of
this attitude. But it would be more helpful if youd adopt a definitely positive and praiseful attitude from scratch, showing
that you believe that I know what Im doing. (IV:198)

A lot depends on your attitude, your faith and your whole concept and perception of life, your input, and on whether you
have a positive or negative outlook on things; all factors that determine whether the life you live is more like Heaven or
hell.
You can walk through life with a positive attitude of trust that Someone knew what they were doing when they instituted
this game of life, including its process of aging, sicknesses and other ailments, or you go through life murmuring and
complaining about the kind of disaster that life presents for you
And according to your attitude the quality of your life will be.
The true source of happiness is and has always been knowing Me, and your attitude toward Me is what will determine
whether youre going to be truly happy or not. (IV:199)

An attitude of wanting to know everything better than Me is not exactly conducive to true knowledge and insight. (IV:222)

Part of your condition is due to mindsets and attitudes evoked by your points of view and probably a good portion of the
enemys lies, resulting in self-pity, depression and frustration and that feeling of helplessness, when actually you ought to
know that youre anything but helpless if Im by your side.
Contrary to your notion its not so much the circumstances that require improvement and a positive change as your own
attitudes and heart- and mind-sets. (IV:225)

If you have a closer look at the details of My workings, and what Im doing, youll actually see a lot of positive things, and
thus enough reason for a positive, cheerful and optimistic attitude! (IV:240)

Whether your situation is a good one or not mostly depends on your own attitude and point of view, and whether youre
taking a victorious stance toward life or you allow yourself to be defeated quite easily (IV:251)

My saints and closest followers have a more tranquil attitude toward death; theyre not scared stiff of it, and thus dont
struggle so hard to preserve their lives at all cost, but are willing to sacrifice and willing to take risks for Me and dare to do
things that people driven by fear would never do. (IV:254)

If you walk through life with a merciful, forgiving attitude, thats what youre going to get from people. If you walk through
life with a critical, self-righteous and judgmental attitude, thats what youre going to get (IV:262)

What is rather pitiful on a large scale, is peoples attitude toward people. (IV:270)

During a crisis, time spent with Me is definitely time wisely invested, and more so than other things you spend and
sometimes waste your time on In fact, theres hardly anything better you can do.
How great is your faith, really, that I am the One capable of pulling you out of it?
35
Its the result of your own personal choices, attitudes and actions that is catching up with you, bearing the consequences.
(IV:317)

Lets keep working on that attitude of gratitude! (IV:359)

Desperation is the appropriate attitude, since thats what you need in order to get a miracle. (IV:378)

Im waiting for you to find out things and attitudes you will have to change before youll be ready to enjoy a new blessing
in your life. (IV:379)

The lessons of life include taking the less than favorable circumstances life hands with an attitude of faith. (IV:382)

You prefer whatever is the easiest and most fun-promising option, and dont always go by what would be the most needed.
Now, thats not very responsible, is it? You cant really expect to make any significant headway with that attitude and
modus operandi. (IV:386)

Keep an attitude that grants Me the right of ways in cases where our interests might be at conflict! (IV:412)

Make an effort to acquire an attitude of trust!

A positive attitude, believing and trusting that I will only allow that to happen to you which is for your very best, will help
you enjoy life better, and will up the chances that the good things are going to come to pass, since according to your faith
it will be done unto you. (IV:434)

I want you to walk in an attitude of trust in Me, confident in My Promise that I'm with you and will be there for you. You can
count on Me. (IV:448)

Just the fact that I said The poor ye shall always have with you to Judas, doesnt mean that I was or am indifferent to
their plight, nor that I would want My followers to take on an indifferent attitude toward them. (IV:492)

If you have a positive attitude, grounded in faith, you wont despair even when you feel tempted to despair. (IV:534)

While some circumstances may be unchangeable, from another and greater aspect, there is a lot you can do about your
fate, and if nothing else, your attitude about it. In other words, it is in your power and every humans to change things
to a certain degree, even if it is just their own way of seeing things. (IV:535)

If you just keep carelessly floating along in an attitude of everythings going to be alright, no matter what, its bound to
be less than favorable for your spirit. You become spoiled and pampered by life, instead of stirred up, active, and on guard.
(2011:4)

Take on a mindset and stand of faith, knowing that no matter what: Im with you and right behind you, and Im not going to
let you fall! I understand and sympathize with you and what youre going through (2011:12)

Im teaching you to see the good in the apparently bad, to see the advantage in the seeming disadvantage, and once you
learn how to do that, you learn how to live fully in the here and now, and how to be happy regardless of circumstances,
knowing that Im always in full control.
That doesnt mean youre supposed to become all fatalistic and passive about things, with an attitude that you cant
change anything anyway because its all predestined. Im not talking about your choices, on which hinge a lot of things,
but your circumstances and situations you find yourself in, and your choice how youll take them. (2011:25)

Things could always be worse, and at the rate the world is going, chances are they will, so it pays not to have a pampered,
whiny attitude, but to brace yourself for whats to come. (2011:38)

A helpful factor is to have an open heart and attitude toward the things and folks you meet along your way, and not reject
everything and everyone from scratch, murmuring about it all and saying, I dont like it! (2011:47)

Its pride that causes anyone to say and assume, "I don't need any help. I'm doing fine on my own." The thing about pride
is, it is always only temporal, just like any of the other evils you're dealing with. They may be extremely stubborn and hard
to overcome, but in the end they will cease and be replaced by the proper attitudes to make learning possible. (2011:48)

Moaners, groaners and complainers make it tougher and harder on themselves than need be by their own attitude. (2011:53)

Im trying to teach you that its all a matter of attitude and an inner state of mind thats really going to make a difference
and determines whether what you live will be heaven on earth or hell (2011:55)

It takes a conscious effort to decide to put on a positive, grateful mindset and attitude; otherwise I wouldn't have to remind
you of this so many times... (2011:66)

36
Youll definitely be more successful with people if you show forth a humble attitude, instead of a condescending one.
(2011:68)

Everyone is closest to himself a German proverb says, and that attitude reflects whats going on: its natural for you to
put your trust in yourself first and most of all, and likewise so it is for them.
The right attitude to have would be that you can use all the help you can get, especially Mine. (2011:69)

Just as youve been learning that happiness finds you when you do what you can to bring it to others, so an extraverted
attitude and outlook are also helpful in aiding you to find your destiny and potential. A positive attitude that is concerned
primarily with the welfare of others, even above your own, will put you in the right position to spot opportunities to shine
your light for Me as they come up. (2011:71)

The attitude of some of the folks around you that you see, of, It cant be done, therefore Im not even going to try it is
exemplary for many peoples attitudes toward even attempting to get ahold of Me, communicate with Me or let alone
hearing from Me. (2011:73)

The things you learn can and will affect your attitudes, and thus change your life. (2011:74)

Your attitude is reflected in what you say. (2011:77)

Gratitude is a healthy attitude to have that can do a lot of good in your life. (2011:80)

When you can go into an endeavor with an attitude of I will win and gain something from it, even if I lose and by lose
I mean, lose it all then youve probably got the right attitude and can see it as a win/win situation from which you cannot
possibly emerge as a loser. (2011:83)

if you want to honor Me, please Me and make Me happy, do Me the favor, and show forth some trust in Me.
And of course, the best way to do that is by showing forth a grateful attitude. (2011:88)

You may have the attitude that you dont want to preach anything that you are not able to live yourself, but if you wait until
youre perfect, youre never going to spread My message to anyone in this life. (2011:91)

The input you receive from Me is more of a spiritual nature, because I want your approach and attitude to become a more
spiritual one.
True and lasting happiness doesnt just come from altering your situation. Its a matter of attitude and a matter of the heart,
and the necessary changes are more likely to be brought about by hard times than the easy ones. (2011:92)

Becoming aware of a need is the first step toward improvement. The best thing that can happen is your realization of the
need, which will help and cause you to focus on potential solutions, changes of behavior and attitude; things you must do
or could do in order to improve the situation, since theres not much sense in pinning all the blame on someone else
(2011:93)

If you just stop worrying long enough about whether youre in the right place or not, or if or where theres a place you
possibly might be happier, maybe Ill just be able to finish My work in your life and bring about those inner changes that
are really going to guarantee happiness, because its the right attitudes that will get you there, and its not so much
dependent on the place where you are. (2011:102)

Judgmentalism is just not the right attitude to have, no matter how justified it may seem.
Forgiveness is a healing attitude for the soul to take, not just for the recipient, but also for the one who extends it. (2011:107)

Learn to live and deal with the difficulties and challenges! Theres really not much use in complaining and bellyaching. In
fact, it would be a lot healthier attitude and more conducive to success and classroom achievement to take the challenges
more positively! (2011:109)

Do you begin every day with a blank sheet of paper as your program, and an attitude that says, Thy will be done? Do you
even so much as consider what My will might be for you on any given day? (2011:114)

As long as you walk through life whining, moaning and complaining, and constantly seeking something better for yourself,
murmuring in your heart about your lot and thinking you deserve better, its just not the right attitude that I can bless with
greater things. (2011:120)

It starts to become dangerous when people see themselves or their own opinions and attitudes as the center of it all,
causing imbalance and chaos, which unfortunately describes the general state of the world right now (2011:124)

Its easy to take on a victims role and an attitude of self-pity, but others have their hardships and challenges in life, too,
and its important to stay mindful of that. (2011:128)

37
Youre reaping the consequences of your actions and choices; youre reaping what youve sown, and things are coming
back to you the way you initially prompted them to by your own actions, decisions, choices and attitudes. According to
your faith has it been done unto you, and that has both good and bad sides.
Self-pity and whining over your plight, complaining and huffing and puffing about it couldnt really be described as a
victorious attitude of faith. People with much worse plights had much more positive and victorious attitudes about them,
and they made the best out of what they had. (2011:130)

It has been the natural modus operandi for people to walk through life with a give me attitude, and What can I get,
instead of, What can I give?
Theres a lot more in it for you in the long run if you take on a giving attitude, and one of inner peace and contentment and
trust.
Take on the attitude that its part of what youre here to learn: to be more giving and become more sacrificial!
Its really all a matter of attitude. (2011:146)

Its the Enemy who likes to sow those seeds of pride and looking down on people. What youre looking for, really, is a
humbler attitude. (2011:147)

Dont make the mistake of thinking youre ready for greater things when I may know better that youre not, but keep a
humble attitude of a learner, rather than that of an overly qualified teacher doomed to cast his pearls before swine. (2011:148)

The appropriate attitude to have is the same I took on: compassion. Try a little compassion on people, less judgmentalism!
(2012:10)

Gods attitude toward men is one of love and forgiveness, not of harsh condemnation and judgment, and that is something
very important to convey and communicate to people, so I cannot emphasize the importance of showing mercy on them
enough. (2012:11)

Theres a significant difference between going through life with a know-it-all attitude, and an open attitude of What do we
really know at all? - hungry to learn. (2012:14)

Your fate rests to a large extent in your hands, which is why complaining is really of no avail.
It basically all depends on your attitude and on how you choose to confront and face your daily challenges.
Your attitude will also determine the outcome and whether youll survive the ordeal. Youve got to decide, Am I going to
overcome and conquer this situation, or will I allow the circumstances to overwhelm and conquer me?
The content of the message youll give through your words will be far less relevant than the attitude to see in you, the faith
and determination to keep believing and trusting no matter what happens. What else could be more worthwhile passing on
and conveying to people?
So, does a lot depend on you and your attitude, your choice how you will face and deal with every new day and challenge
up ahead? (2012:19)

When you place your faith in the right factors it becomes evident in a positive, praiseful attitude and spirit, regardless of
any physical factors or circumstances. (2012:22)

Picture yourself as a teacher in front of a class full of students who think they already know everything youre going to
teach them, and youll catch the drift why I appreciate that other, empty and hungry call it ignorant attitude, a lot more.
(2012:25)

You demonstrate the same attitude you criticize in others: you want it to be easier, while at the same time expecting the
highest possible rewards and gratification for the least possible effort - Can you see how thats a contradiction? (2012:28)

Weve got a huge job to do, and getting you more work-focused in your life is part of My plan to get you to employ and
apply yourself more and get away from your vacation-oriented attitude. (2012:33)

If you put forth a positive and believing attitude, you will often see that thats precisely the effect it will have on your
circumstances.
A false sense of superiority isnt helpful at all, and you can imagine that thats the reason why the Enemy is attempting to
nurse that sort of attitude. (2012:35)

Its much more appropriate for you to take on a humble learners attitude than that of a judgmental Mr. Know-It-All. (2012:44)

How willing are you to face and learn from your mistakes? How prone are you to take them as an excuse to give up or to
take on an attitude of resignation? And if you are, will you wake up and recognize that tendency as the enemy? (2012:45)

Isnt the spiritual attitude so much more important? (2012:48)

The human mind is geared to the attitude, I can do this, which is good in some ways, and better than an I cant do it
attitude. But the best attitude of all for a believer to have is, I can do all things through Christ (Phil.4:13). (2012:50)
38
Taking the responsibility for your mistakes yourself, along with the acceptance of your circumstances (unless Ive
definitely put it in your heart to do something to change them) with the conclusion that you probably dont deserve any
better is the kind of attitude that could potentially make this world a better place. (2012:62)

Take on a victorious attitude!

Take on a bit more of a merciful attitude, instead of one of breathing condemnation! (2012:69)

What do we really know at all? is a good, humble and realistic attitude to have. (2012:71)

The kind of attitude you need to have in order to laugh life and all its many challenges right in the face and let it know that
youre not a quitter, that you wont surrender to its pressures, is one that says, No matter what! Ill keep on fighting,
believing, showing forth a cheerful spirit, etc., no matter what!
Theres no glory in the attitude of I give up. (2012:76)

I would always prefer and recommend for your own benefit an attitude of faith rather than one of doubt. (2012:81)

I can is a better attitude to have than I cant. (2012:86)

Its the attitude that makes the difference. If you have nothing but complaints in your heart about the situation youre in,
and you come to Me in an accusatory manner, blaming Me for this and for that, its usually harder for Me to get through to
you to get you to see My point of view, which is usually the positive side of things you often fail to see. (2012:89)

An I cant do it attitude isnt what helps.

If its within your power to do it, do it regardless of what anyone else does. Thats the kind of attitude that will get you
anywhere in life. (2012:91)

Its going to help and teach you love each other more in the long run, when youll see that forgiveness is the only
appropriate attitude to come up with. (2012:94)

Judgmentalism is just not the right attitude to have, no matter how justified it may seem.
Forgiveness is a healing attitude for the soul to take, not just for the recipient, but also for the one who extends it. Its got a
self-healing effect.
Try to come up with more of a merciful attitude, since youre having to be forgiven for so much yourself! (2012:107)

If you dare to reach out by faith with a positive, optimistic and confident, trusting attitude, youll find out that I continue to
uphold you, wont let you down, and consequently, youll much more share your faith with others. (2012:123)

How do you expect Me to work miracles in your favor with a doubting attitude? (2012:127)

You know the story: The hare never made it, but the tortoise did, so its not necessarily the level of energy that does it,
but your determination and persistence are larger factors in the equation.
You may not be able to do much about your energy level, but persistence and a determined attitude are things that can be
acquired over time.
You can keep hanging in there with an attitude of trust, knowing on the grounds of My Promises that somehow youre
going to make it, or you can spend your time whining, murmuring and complaining about your plight, which is not really
conducive to any victorious results.
Your faith in Me and My Promises will strengthen and improve your attitude and stamina you will need in order to
successfully and victoriously persist.
Sometimes the Enemy tries to tease you: What on earth are you doing, wasting all this time, communicating with an
imaginary God? Well, next time youll know what to reply: Getting the right attitude to beat you!
If I justify myself, my own mouth will condemn me The best attitude to have is, guilty as charged.
- Because everyone is. You either have the humility to admit it, or you dont. Accepting that, and the need for forgiveness,
is what Salvation amounts to, and what its basically all about. (2012:129)

The place and your destination arent nearly as crucial as your attitude. (2012:134)

True happiness cannot be determined as much by outward circumstances as by inner convictions, attitude and state of
mind. (2012:137)

Things in life dont get easier. And thats precisely how you get stronger supposedly if you take the challenges and
dont just surrender to your fate in resignation and a Whats the use of it all anyway? attitude. (2012:138)

As far as feeling desperate and struggling goes, I prefer that over a self-sufficient and self-satisfied, complacent attitude.
(2012:142)

39
Ive got to get you to see things clearly first of all, and that sort of insight and recognition of the way things really are,
unfortunately is only learned by the sort of consequences all of mankind must reap for their own actions.
(2012:146)

Its not really where you are geographically that matters, when it comes to finding happiness, but its much more a matter
of attitude and your state within how you look at things, what your goals are, who and what youre listening to, etc.
(2012:173)

See the good in others, focus on that and hope for the best, have an optimistic attitude! (2012:180)

Keep a sharing attitude and approach toward people, even if youre having a hard time connecting with them due to
language barriers and cultural differences (2012:183)

Its never the right moment to let your guard down or assume an attitude of having arrived at your destination, because
this is not it. Not yet. It may contain a few glimpses and tastes, as you experience those bouts of joy, happiness and
contentment, but the Real Thing is yet to come. (2013:5)

Sometimes youve just got to go through whatever life puts before you, and the question is, how do you choose to do it?
Whats your attitude? Whats your spirit? (2013:7)

Learning to deal with mistakes others are making, that youve made before is really a wonderful opportunity for learning
how to love, showing what you learned, and apply that gained knowledge or wisdom (theres a difference, you know?) in
the right way, not in a self-righteous, preachy attitude, but one of true love and understanding. (2013:18)

How about looking for the problem right there, in your own heart, attitude and mindset and behavior, instead of over
there, the splinter in your brothers or sisters eye, and letting the axe of My Word take a few good chops at that beam in
your own?
Just recognizing that where the root of most of your problems lies is with yourself, not everywhere else, already changes a
lot, since it gives you a humbler, less critical and more accepting attitude toward others and life itself. (2013:23)

Im being fairly good to you. So return some of that goodness with a praiseful, grateful attitude!
Prayer and praise draw good things and people into your life, whereas murmuring and a negative attitude drive them away
and attract negative repercussions instead.
Why would you crawl through life with a negative attitude, when you could soar through it on the wings of faith by looking
unto Me, keeping your focus on Me and thus ensuring a lot more positive attitude to help you make it through your days?
(2013:28)

If you never expect Me to use you, thats not much of giving Me a chance, not much of a believing attitude. (2013:32)

Sometimes discontent sets in inevitably, be it for an explicable reason or not Perhaps its not even as much your
surroundings and your situation, as your perception of them and your attitude that make them so bad(2013:40)

Youve got to keep trusting and keep a positive attitude no matter what happens. (2013:44)

Its definitely better to go through life with an attitude of theres a lot to learn than one of thinking you already know it all.
(2013:45)

Without a believing attitude its pretty hard to make uphill progress. (2013:47)

Would you want to be guilty of not having given a soul the chance to find Salvation?
An attitude and preset notion of, They dont want it anyway is not a very success-promising one for a would-be soul
winner. (2013:50)

The entire older generation of Israelites perished in the wilderness, never to see the Promised Land, because of their
murmuring, ungrateful attitude, and Ive made it clear in My Word that this happened as a warning for generations to come.
(2013:53)

All the skills in the world are just about useless without the right attitude. (2013:54)

The key lies in handling losses with the right attitude. In the right spirit. Anyone can blame it on Me. Anyone can get
angry at the Guy in charge. But in the end, what else can you do than accept your fate with humility? And perhaps a more
positive look at what has been given you that has not been taken away from you yet. (2013:76)

A negative attitude is really due to a lack of gratefulness. (2013:86)

Its simply healthier to have a more positive attitude toward others, since dislike will only breed mutual feelings, and that
wont get you anywhere, if you ever want to reach people for Me (2013:91)

40
A little bit more of an attitude of, What have I got to give to them? certainly wouldnt do any harm. And perhaps be
surprised by the results. That happiness is actually found that way instead of just pursuing own interests (2013:92)

The greedy and materialistic kind figure the folks who do it their own way deserve it, just as they figure they do, whereas
their attitude toward folks like you will always be, What are you doing here anyway? You dont belong here! Youre not
one of us.
Of course, your attitude should be, I know. But you could become one of us, if you chose to And thats the unspoken,
permanent offer youre making: If you want, and youre tired of being one of them, one of the same old bunch, you could
become one of us, one of Gods children, instead of the ruthless Dragons.
Your attitude about it could or should be a little more positive, not one of silent, passive resentment, I know you dont like
me anyway, but a more outgoing one, flaunting that youve got something better, and not resenting the fact so much that
youre being rejected by the majority of them. (2013:103)

Be the kind of man to properly deal with and overcome lifes circumstances with a powerfully positive attitude, instead of
just another passive wallowing in the self-pity of defeat! (2013:110)

It pays to have a positive, grateful attitude.

Theres really no excuse to keep dwelling on a negative attitude, even if most people around are acting negative and might
give reasons one ought to know better, and ought to do better! (2013:111)

If theres nothing in this world anymore for you to look for the fulfillment of your hopes in, what better grounds than that to
finally get the point that its Me and My grace thats the only thing thats ever going to be sufficient to fill that need?
If you wander through your days with an attitude of, Think I can make it without Him, then its no wonder you get to this
point.
What or who else is there for you to look up to? (2013:112)

A negative, complaining and depreciative attitude will only attract more trouble to gripe about. (2013:123)

I could have given you larger protection if you had asked Me for it and depended on Me for it with a more prayerful attitude.
Some things just had to be changed about your life and attitude
If you neglect the attitude that its a war of the spirit youre in, you might be hit and injured with wounds! (2014:7)

How little can get done without the right attitude. (2014:12)

Putting material things like money first in your life, or giving them the greatest importance, can result in negative effects.
Those attitudes are not what pulls the will and blessings of God upon you (2014:22)

To take a more positive attitude toward new things happening to you in life is a good thing, because it shows you trust in
God and the Creator, and not just your own ideas of what should happen to you. (2014:45)

Just keeping Salvation for yourself is not exactly the right attitude. (2014:176)

Thankfulness is a pretty important part of Christians attitudes! (2014:180)

Even if its a battle and a fight, it pays to make the effort to stay in the victory, and dont allow the enemy to get you way
down into a negative attitude, which definitely wont have positive outcomes. (2014:197)

Sometimes, becoming familiar with Me, or Us, can create attitudes that can put down your respect for Us, and its not an
advantage having our relationship turning that way. (2014:204)

The best attitude is to take things the way they come, with a good and expectant attitude, always prepared for whatevers
coming. Dont let incidents shock you too much. Just be ready to receive and handle whatever comes with an attitude of
trust toward Me! (2015:6)

Just let it be part of your mindset, your faith and your mental and spiritual attitude that theres Something so much better
awaiting you, and let it be what youre walking up and traveling towards! (2015:19)

Give the honor and praise to Heaven Up Above and Its Makers, which is also a helpful spiritual attitude!
Just keep in mind that Well help you make it! And with that attitude, youll also develop a more thankful and praiseful
attitude, a more positive spirit!
You can make it. And with the right attitude, you will. I can guarantee you. (2015:67)

The life of faith should consist largely of the attitude and belief that by far the greater part of life follows in the Hereafter,
and that the temporal, earthly life isnt nearly as much, nor as great as whats to follow, even if its about all you can feel,
see and perceive right now. (2015:69)

41
Dont just see your weakened state as something negative, but since it draws you closer to Me and strengthens your
attitude and conscience of dependence on Me, you should see it as something positive, drawing you closer to Me and
driving a greater need for Me into your conscience, which is something quite necessary for you in your worlds future and
upcoming fate. (2015:73)

If you just make a serious effort to keep Our Kingdom on the first place in your heart and mind, you wont regret it, but itll
make a Heaven of a difference to your attitude and the state of your heart and whole being! Theres a good reason why you
ought to keep your mind and heart in this direction Up Here! (2015:84)

Dont be scared of having an attitude quite and totally different from the masses of the world! (2015:85)

Being ready for change is a good attitude. So, get ready for it! (2015:98)

Behave more victoriously, trusting in Me more, that Ill help you to make it, for its a necessary faith and positive attitude
youll need to help you overcome the evil that the even by far rougher times up ahead will have to offer! (2015:104)

If you want to make it, get a victorious attitude, and out of complaining! (2015:105)

When thereve been wrong attitudes and mindsets, theyve got to be gotten rid of, and be renewed by the proper ones.
(2015:106)

Learn how to handle, manage and cope with what life has to give you!
Sometimes you just have to cope with that and handle it as cheerfully and with as positive an attitude as possible
(2015:111)

Theres a big change necessary in your attitude and showing forth your character, in order for you to make it up My road,
and not the downhill slope the enemy would like to lead you!
I know its a big change, and youre hoping you can make it, but so do I, and remember that We can help you make it, if
your attitude and willingness, as well as your yieldedness are turned in the right direction! (2015:112)

Those who cannot boast of any kinds of productions, for that just have a lot humbler attitude and quite a few more friends
and folks regularly communicating with them. (2015:113)

Have a more grateful and positive attitude! (2015:115)

Theres a lot more to learn than when you still had the attitude that you had pretty much figured everything out, isnt it so?
(2015:116)

There are many things that could be better always; but its good to get used to when it becomes obvious theyre not
becoming better, but rather, worse.
Putting up with that and getting used to and prepared for it is the momentary challenge, and the attitude everyone ought to
have: to get prepared for whats coming! (2015:130)

The attitudes of the system whenever someone accomplishes something there, they figure that pride is what should follow
the act accordingly. But just remember that that was the thing that got our present enemy going in the wrong direction,
and you certainly wouldnt want to follow his path! (2015:132)

Sometimes its your task to accept what life is handing you as positively and victoriously as possible, and not in a whining,
murmuring and complaining attitude! (2015:135)

Heavens not plagued by the indifference that pretty much runs the attitudes of folks in the world youre currently at!
Theres a lot more concern Here, because theres a lot more Love. (2015:147)

Youll find out eventually that thats the best attitude and confidence to have: not in your own strength and wisdom, but the
one from Above, the creative Power you came from! (2015:155)

Going through situations that make you a bit more desperate and dependent on Me and help needed for you to make it
through, shouldnt make you feel too bad. Its the way the kids feel these days without their mother. While youve been a
lot more independent, youre having a hard time coping with their dependence sometimes. But maybe it should just be a
sign for you, how dependent on Me and your help from Above you ought to be!
While it strikes you as something unusual and negative, why not start viewing it as an example of what should be your
attitude towards Me and the help you need from Above?
When even kids become much more dependent on their mothers, maybe thats a sign of what should be your attitude
toward your heavenly Family! (2015:161)

Take it, whatever comes, with a victorious attitude! (2015:183)

Taking what life offers you with the right attitude is not always that easy, and obviously something to deal with! (2015:195)
42
Making the best out of life is the attitude ones supposed to have! (2015:198)

The attitude of faith I appreciate and that teaches you the sense of life: to be accepting what life brings and offers you,
instead of complaining about it and failing to see Our Love and Wisdom in it. (2015:202)

Stick to it, that position down there, as victoriously and with as positive an attitude as you can with My Help! (2015:203)

Earthly knowledge and wealth of mind isnt necessarily something to hold on to, much less physical strength.
If thats what you rely on, your positive attitude goes down along with it! (2015:226)

Its part of lifes school to learn to stay on the positive side of things and remain with a good attitude, instead of whining
about things not being perfect in that world run currently by our enemy.
So, theres a reason why youre having to go through tough things - Mainly to bless you with a more positive and
unselfish attitude. Once you learn that, itll also be much easier to teach your kids. (2015:233)

Part of love is learning to put up with differently-minded others. Letting go of your own attitudes and mindsets, and
becoming ready for some new ones that may not be or have been your own! (2015:237)

A lot of it depends on your faith and attitude the way to put that faith into action! (2015:241)

Other folks have and had to go through tougher times than what you have to go through right now, so its not really the
right attitude to just feel sorry for yourself! Dont feel sorry for yourself, but learn how to avail yourself of My help and all
the help you can get from Up Here! (2015:242)

Hard times come again no more! may have been an attitude to cling to, but youre realizing, its not appropriate anymore,

attitude.

Keep fighting for the victory, and learn to make that effort to stay in the victory with a victorious, positive attitude!
Keep fighting, and keep the vision for the victory in a positive attitude!
Make it your attitude to refuse defeat! A defeated attitude is what the enemys aiming for in you. Dont let him get it!
(2016:21)

Learn some things about doing wrong, or having the wrong views and attitudes! (2016:23)

Getting your mind more geared toward whats expecting you and others Here, becoming more heavenly-minded, is
certainly worth the effort! (2016:30)

Youve got to get used to making it through tougher circumstances, and take them with more of a victorious attitude and
mindset. So, fight to make it through the current conditions, so youll grow stronger to make it through the future ones!
(2016:35)

Get a more positive attitude, and let it result in more positive action! (2016:40)

Take things the way they come! Taking with grace what life has to offer, depending on the help from Above to make it, and
not complaining about it with an ungrateful attitude!

victorious! Cheerful! Positive!

make it through even harder times to come. (2016:46)

When changes of attitude are necessary, it sometimes takes some hard paths to walk upon

43
Blessings require some positive acts and attitudes, whereas the negative ones automatically draw their results upon the
ones with negative attitudes and actions.
The circumstances surrounding you in that world are bound to get worse and thus, something for you to learn to handle
and deal with more victoriously! With a more positive attitude! Negative behavior and attitudes will bring forth negative
results!
If you want to reap more positive results, sow the seeds with some more positive actions and attitudes!
Its not easy to stay positive in such a negative world, but thats what shows how much faith youve got in both, a positive
Force of Creation and, accordingly, a positive Hereafter and final result!
Those who lack that faith often also lack the accordingly positive attitude, and show more negative action; but if you do
believe in Me, your attitude should accordingly be more positive!
Thats where the wonder-working power of faith plays its main role: the doubtless attitude that the Good will win, after all,
in spite of the temporary conquest evil seems to be having!
So, still have some faith in what you cant see? At the moment? If so, youre what folks need to see with the right kind
of attitude and actions, accordingly in order to accept what you believe in, even if they or you cant see it in the
physical right now! (2016:49)

A bit of humility and a humble attitude should help you overcome any tendency toward self-righteousness, which could
pretty much be entitled the most dangerous setback for believers. (2016:50)

The ultimate step of pride is accepting the attitude of one being their own god.
Now, that life can be tougher and less pleasant in a society where Evolution (Creation by itself) is being taught as scientific
fact, with people resulting as fruits of that attitude of pride, should be obvious.(2016:53)

Dont let your spiritual level go down by developing stinginess and a selfish attitude! (2016:62)

keep your mindset and vision and gear of thoughts directed Up Here the side of faith to keep lifting you up!
Thats why the theme of vision, focus and outlook is so important! It all depends on the direction your minds set and
aiming at! (2016:68)

A large part of life on Earth right now consists of lessons on what not to do, what attitudes not to have, and what desires
not to give in to and follow. (2016:69)

To take whatever comes in a victorious attitude is one of the key points of the lessons of life. (2016:76)

Thankfulness is a good attitude to have! (2016:77)

Our concern for you is greater than the concern about what you manage to do for Us! Action was and is in some ways an
important topic, but Attitude is even more so, since trying to do the right kind of action with a wrong sort of attitude isnt
all that promising, either, of good results.
So, dont be too concerned about a lack of action, but come to realize that the right sort of attitude is what will bring the
proper sort of action about! (2016:83)

Things are going to have to change, such as attitudes, in order to make it through the coming global changes. (2016:84)

What matters is not so much the world around you, but how youre coping with and doing in it.
Isnt there something better weve got to offer, and wouldnt it be nice to share a glimpse of hope towards that with others
who might be looking for it?
And it doesnt depend on your words as much as on your own attitude and way of making it through this far from perfect
life in a far from perfect world. (2016:89)

Have an attitude of trust and confidence!

worries? (2016:95)

Rough times are to prepare you and help you make it through the roughest to come. So, try and take it all with as much of
a positive attitude and outlook that you can!
Keep as positive a mindset as you can! (2016:97)

The Father knows what Hes allowing to happen to you in order to shape your character and make what youre supposed
to be out of you!
Got a little trust for that, and can you yield to that? Preferably without complaining? Now, that would be yieldedness: to
take whatever comes with a positive attitude instead of grumpiness, murmuring and complaining about it! (2016:102)

One of the weakness factors of outstanding talents: they can develop into an attitude you wont be proud of in the long
run. (2016:127)

Walking around with a blind attitude toward the failures of others is definitely better than a critical spirit. (2016:135)

Be thankful for the easy part of life, and make it through the tougher part with a bit more of a positive and cheerful spirit
and attitude, with faith in Me that I dont give you more than you can handle!

Sometimes a little meditation and gearing toward a grateful attitude and spiritual state might help.
What youll make of the future before you depends a lot on your present attitude; and worrying would be one of the
negatives. Not helpful or constructive! (2016:148)

Negative feelings caused by physical circumstances have to be learned to resisted and overcome, instead of getting into a
negative attitude and mindset about uncomfortable circumstances or unpleasant physical sentiments. (2016:149)

Youve got to be heavenly-minded if you want to manage to attract others to that heavenly Goal!
In other words, set your mind Up Here, as opposed to negative conditions down there!
Your attitude and capacity to handle troublesome circumstances are one of your major NWOs, one of the things you have
to learn the most to put up with. (2016:152)

Folks doubting My existence, and the necessity of Me and My helpers from Heaven are quite common, and the vast
majority prefer to rely on their own abilities. But thats another reason why I advise you not to look at man and the
behavior and attitudes of folks around you to gear your vision and inner setup not according to what you perceive by
sight, but receive through faith. (2016:155)

It should help you not to take My protection for granted when you dont know whether you deserve it and worries are the
result of your attitude and mindset.
Lord, I cant make it without You should be a basic set of your attitude and conception. (2016:160)

One of the wrong attitudes of proud people: to just expect too much. (2016:169)

Not going by whats physically visible is a challenging transfer of mental settings, but a necessary one for whats before
you! (2016:173)

Sometimes good times have to be waited for and depend on the good things you sow, since thats basically what youll
reap from your actions, attitude and behavior. (2016:177)

A lot of changes are necessary, of attitudes and behavior along with the modes of handling things. (2016:191)

Everybodys got their moments of testing their trust, confidence and positive attitudes and mindsets.
Optimism through faith thats what Id call the right attitude worth gaining. (2016:192)

What youre seeing around you right now isnt Heaven on Earth, but tends a bit more in the opposite direction, in order
to get you to aim your spiritual vision Up Here, as a Source for a positive attitude and outlook.
So, to keep a good and positive attitude, no matter what comes, thats the groove of faith Id like you to learn to live in, act
in, and spread your vibes from.
A positive attitude in spite of negative circumstances, thats the vibe and cool power of faith. (2016:199)
45
Ungodly behavior should keep you in a humble enough position, attitude and state of mind to accept the input of others
around you, even if they might not have that connection with, or even faith in Me. (17:8)

What can you expect from a world run by Gods enemy? And, of course, it takes a heroic attitude with courage, to have to
go through an existence confronting him. To fight the good fight of faith. (17:9)

Not taking things for granted but appreciating them can be a healthy change of attitude and sometimes its the tough
situations to deal with causing that. (17:10)

If lifes a tough one, just realize that theres a lot to learn about negative and selfish attitudes! And one of the things to
learn is that, its a fight to overcome them. So, fight the good fight of faith! (17:26)

Appreciation is just another expression for a grateful attitude. (17:31)

Seeing the - maybe a bit more rare - positive acts of behavior, and just making the effort to focus on them more than the
negative traits, should help developing a more positive attitude and receptiveness.
To hell with the circumstances! may sound a bit rough, but its somewhere along the line of where your attitude should
be. (17:65)

Remember I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth Me (Phil.4:13), but when it comes to doing things in your
own capacities, its better to have the attitude I can do nothing. And thus remember what I told My disciples, Without Me
ye can do nothing (Jn.15:5). (17:68)

Consider that a great attitude to have: Ive got something better to offer. - An eternal Place to truly call Home. (17:69)

If its true that one reaps what he sows, it must also be the case that what happens to you is what you deserve. Not a
reason for complaining, but realize and take to heart what you could and should have done better, or could still make the
best out of through changing your behaviors and attitudes. (17:70)

If youre feeling like a stranger in that world, see it as a mindset I see as a positive one!
The more you become aware of the fact whos currently in charge of it, the closer you are to the facts and the right mindset
and viewpoint the closer you are to Me and the truth. (17:75)

Well all see what the attitude along the enemys slogan, to do-as-you-like without consideration of whats right or wrong,
no results or consequences to count on, leads to. (17:80)

Only expecting the best from life in this world isnt exactly the most realistic attitude.
Just remember that conditions could be worse, and eventually will be, and thus take whatever besets you with as positive
of a receptive attitude as you can! (17:88)

How positive your attitude is concerning carnal weaknesses, shows how strong your faith is. (17:89)

Dont stare at the weaknesses of others self-righteously, but exchange self-righteousness and impatience with a humbler
attitude, heart- and mind-setting! (17:91)

The enemy says, No, you cant make it! But how about adopting the attitude, Yes, I can!?
Make faith a living attitude and conviction in your life that others will be able to see through your actions, your life-style,
and whatever you can bring forth from it! (17:94)

The fact that life contains difficult circumstances to overcome should be one to help takeem with a positive attitude.
(17:104)

What needs to change most in order to improve and make things better is ones own perspectives and ways of looking at
things - to adopt a positive attitude and perception of whats around.
Once Ive changed you and your inner attitudes, youll just have a lot more positive faith in the positive changes I can bring
about elsewhere. (17:106)

Keep your focus and mindset directed toward the thereafter!

Dont let the present influence your mindset as much as the future - by faith!
Make your attitude a bit more one of Heaven on Earth, than just an absorber of its hellish states and conditions! (17:107)

Make appreciation for whatever I bestow upon you one of your lasting values and constant attitudes! It shows that
someones giving credit down there to Whom and where it belongs.
So, make it through your days with a praiseful attitude! - Amen? (17:110)

46
If things and circumstances arent the way youd wish for them to be, let it be a reminder of the necessity of change!
Sometimes it might be a change of attitude, sometimes a sign of the need for change of both, attitude and circumstances.
(17:115)

All things are possible to him that believeth (Lk.9:23)!

Let that all things factor open up your horizon and vision beyond those physical limitations youve been drilled to accept
as facts, and make the Facts of faith Im giving you more powerful sources of your mindset! (17:116)

Take what comes with a positive and grateful attitude in spite of any bad circumstances, not with murmuring and
complaining, but with a voice of faith!
A Heaven-focused mindset should help you get more onto the positive wavelength.
Its worth it to aim for a positive mindset, no matter whether youre in favor of the surrounding circumstances or not.
Aim your mindset at the most significant and important factor to be able to make it through the roughest times to come, on
their way toward you: Keep your mindset geared toward efforts of faith!
- Not just taking circumstances with a grumpy mindset, but focusing beyond them and looking Up Here through faith!
To let Me get the best out of you takes a bit of cooperation from your side, and not allowing the enemy to hinder you
through negative inputs to lower your attitudes, mindsets, and the quality of what comes out of your mouth! (17:120)

Youve just got to keep your site on the positive! Dont let the enemy drag you down with his negative inputs and
mindsets! (17:127)

With the risks and dangers higher than ever before, experience should have cured you from the wrong attitude to take My
protection for granted. (17:128)

Make the effort to stay on a positive mindset, instead of allowing your and Our enemy to drag you down and weaken you
accordingly!
Take your trials and tests with a victorious attitude! (17:129)

With the right attitude, troubles can be handled.

A lot depends on your attitude! Including what life turns out to be for you!
The right attitude and perception of things can turn conditions into the right, pleasant kind.
A lot depends on your attitude, the right one of which would be sprinkled with that effort to make the best out of whatever
confronts and challenges you.
A lot depends on how you take and handle things, and part of the victory depends on your attitude. (17:136)

 What Jesus Had 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 and coordinated processes, innumerable activities
behind the scenes... a brand-new work of art. Its a continual work of art that never stops, for you have to sleep, but I dont.
Were all constantly working behind the scenes for you and 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 thats needed to bring
about the optimal result in the Big Picture Another great scene in the movie of life. (I:181)

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. (I:250)

Each person has their own scintillating beauty, their own particular sparkle or shine to contribute to the Big Picture of My
creation and plan. (I:282)

Be that yielded contact somewhere in the vast intricacy of the Big Picture of the universe and eternity, the relay that says
yes to God at the right time and place.
The great plan is that everything and everybody will lovingly interact, teamwork and co-operate in one heavenly, ecstatic
and climactic symphony... Everybody has an important part and role to play... everybody matters, everybody makes a
difference, everybody can contribute, and we all need each other. (I:284)

Everybody no matter how seemingly insignificant their role or task all have their perfect place in My Big Puzzle. (I:288)

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, and that as hard to believe as it may seem right now, every little detail
will fall into place and wind up making perfect sense in its contribution to the Big Picture. (I:478)

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 and glimpses to discover in it.
In fact, the Big Picture is a living picture that's still growing and evolving, not by itself, but by My design, as everything is,
so, you discover as you go and while it continues to grow. View life as an expedition with many things to observe and
study, with tons of details to glean and learn from. (I:494)

As the whole big moving picture of God unfolds more and more into ever more fruit, ever more souls, ever more heavenly
children, and His Realm expands, there will also always be more and more to counsel about. (I:578)

I have revealed to you the secrets of the Big Picture, the larger layer that is a much higher Reality than the devil's fake.
Shoot and aim for the Real Thing! (II:59)

There are many different shades of grey, and I will use all of them to make a perfect picture. (II:129)

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! (II:153)

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.
Victory is to be able to grab hold of My peace and 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 and beauty of what's going to be
and what really is in the heavenly Realm. (II:296)

The whole picture will be perfectly clear when you come Home to Me, and this should give you another incentive to keep
moving toward that goal, not settling for a comfortable residence and citizenship on Earth, but remaining a pilgrim and
stranger on his way to a better, eternal Home. (II:310)

Growing and 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.
48
It's exciting, when even the most mundane and seemingly loathsome experiences in life seem to make perfect sense in
view of the Big Picture. When everything makes sense and seems obviously conducive to the great plan of God Almighty.
When you're aware of those trials and tests just serving to bring you yet another step closer to Me. (II:320)

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 and
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. (II:340)

Everybody has their role and part to play, and its 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 and one part that matters most, and that's the
one I've given you to play.
Concentrate and 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 and various levels and platforms at the same time!
Enjoy acting out the part of your life, even with all the little, seemingly insignificant side-scenes and 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. (II:380)

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. (II:392)

All your senses can be enhanced in the spirit. There is such a thing as spiritual "smell," just as much as there is heavenly
or spiritual "touch," "sound," taste and sight.
It's the union of all things that gives a well-rounded and whole picture. Yes, My Picture cannot only be "seen," but it can be
felt, heard, tasted and even smelled as well! "Taste and see that the Lord is good" (Ps.34:8). (II:495)

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 and 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! (II:499)

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. (II:520)

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. (II:585)

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. (II:600)

You are a citizen of My World, the Bigger Picture that engulfs and surrounds everything, including the puny, artificial
matrix of the enemy. (II:622)

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 and 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. (III:16)

The whole thing grows, slowly, like a gigantic puzzle, bit by bit (information by information), revealing My Big Picture, in
which you're participants.

49
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. (III:18)

I like to include everybody I can and allow them to participate in the work on the Big Picture. (III:37)

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.
(III:46)

The devil is the champion of conformity and the opponent of variety, not nearly as innovative, nor as mindful of variety as
the Father and I are about the Big Picture.
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. (III:129)

The experience every human being gleans from their choices is what makes it all so special, and what makes this "Big
Picture" so exciting. (III:243)

You slap in your own ingredients to the Big Picture, which make it perfect and round it off just the way it's got to be... (III:266)

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. (III:313)

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. (III:322)

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.

50
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. (III:352)

It all grows and grows into one. Its 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 Ive become a Human Being
for your sakes, and as some have begun to realize, that event changed everything. (III:471)

Perfection is not the absence of imperfection, but the ability to integrate imperfection.
Im integrating your imperfection in My perfect picture. Of course, Im 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. (III:473)

In the Beginning was the Word.

So, lets have some exchange of words so that I can create My world, My part of the Big Picture in you today. (III:511)

This world is still in its diapers!

The Big Picture is still in its imperfect, relative beginning stages, and theres lots of room for improvement. (III:520)

Sooner or later youre 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. (III:529)

The more you flow with My flow, the more My Power in you will grow Its 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 thats 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 whats 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 wouldnt have done it that way, they would have done it better.
Its not like I wont listen to your suggestions and petitions, and that I wont 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 youll 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. Theyre always welcome
among the flood of the usual complaints.
We have our little suggestions box called prayer, and if theres anything youd like to change, just let Me know! You can
alter the final outcome of the Big Picture by your personal input. If theres anything youd like to change or try out, say so.
I work in teamwork, and Im 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 (III:539)

You may ask, like I did, If it be possible, let this cup be removed from me, but just as in My case, youll find that its
necessary to drink that cup! Things just wouldnt be the same without it. Your personal history, which is a part of history
and part of the Big Plan and Picture, wouldnt be the same without it. (III:557)
51
As long as youre under the rule of time and attached to it is the plan of time, what you might call the schedule of the Big
Picture there is a certain order and sequence in which events are supposed to unfold, including the truths and things
that shall be revealed both to My prophets, and all of mankind. (III:562)

Remember not to make the frame more fancy than the picture itself! Allow the Big Picture to steal the show, and dont
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. (III:575)

The instant, temporary results may not always be exactly what you wished and hoped for, but its the final result, the
outcome of the Big Picture, that matters, and thats where youve got to keep your vision. (III:601)

What the Big Picture mainly consists of is people, and in that aspect, theres yet quite a bit more to discover.
Even though the heart of man is the same all over the world when it comes to his need for Me, there are yet many
differences between the ways people allow their hunger for Me to be quenched in different cultures.
Theres nothing like the real live experience of getting to know people and cultures elsewhere to really give you a bigger
view of the Big Picture. Theres yet more to discover about life. (IV:71)

All those little details will make sense as they add up to the puzzle of the Big Picture (IV:106)

The right choice to make is to accept Me, to integrate and include Me, and to acknowledge Me, to seek Me in My Creation.
The wrong choice is to ignore Me, deny Me, refuse to accept that Im there, and thus exclude Me from their equation and
Big Picture. (IV:79)

It is My Fathers will for His creations and sons and daughters to progress, and not to stand still, but to advance, and the
direction He wants everything to go, is obvious: closer to Him, on a path that improves in relation to Him, a state of greater
cooperation and communication and interaction with Him; to become an integral and well-functioning part of His Big
Picture of Everything (IV:193)

Even with all the constant worsening of the world, I can effect some improvements within some chosen regions and
aspects of the world, and I keep painting and building and establishing My Big Picture within the crumbling picture of the
Matrix. I keep filtering My eternal and lasting chosen elements out of this world from among all the temporal that is
destined to crumble. (IV:240)

Some things depend on you, and in order to make this Big Picture more exciting, I allow Myself to be surprised by you. In
other words, I have given you greater power than you thought, which also leaves you with a greater responsibility than you
previously may have thought: A lot is up to you and each individual and their choices. (IV:258)

All efforts to merely provide for oneself are counterproductive, when it comes to the Big Picture. (IV:315)

The more of the Big Picture you can absorb into your little picture, the closer it will be to the complete picture. Of course,
its impossible for anyone to get the whole picture during their lifetime, but at least you would want to make an effort to
learn as much as possible. (IV:344)

Im leaving the devil major reins to try to prove his opposing point of Lovin doesnt pay! But the entire universe (and Im
not just referring to the physical entity most people refer to as such) is assembled to watch the Creators Big Picture show
to find out whether hes right or wrong about that. (IV:433)

In the Big Picture of life, youve got to let each scene unfold and enjoy as you go, and most of all, trust! (IV:466)

Though I used the recent quieter years to draw you closer to Me and for you to learn to hear My voice more clearly and see
Me and My hand more clearly in the Big Picture of everything, it doesnt mean that whats coming now is going to be any
less good, educational or purposeful. (IV:474)

Im willing to keep whats for keeps from all that you discover on your journeys, and am certain youll all agree with Me on
the things well figure will need to be discarded, like the cruelties of war and many other evils, once this great Game we
sometimes term The Big Picture is over. (IV:510)

By clinging to Me and My eternal Realm, you manage to let go of that which is less important since it is far less real in the
scope of the Big Picture, the eternal scope, the one that really matters. (2011:9)

I just happen to be the big Key Factor, and the sooner all the other little factors begin to realize that and avail themselves
of that fact, the more theyre going to contribute to the final outcome of the Big Picture. Its not so much what you do or
even are, but what you allow Me to do and be in your life (2011:29)

52
All of creation and this Big Picture is much a matter of waiting to see how things will pan out, even if some events have
already been foretold. As far as each individual is concerned, theyll just have to wait and see how things will pan out for
them, as much as youd all like to know those things beforehand. (2011:32)

Since Im the Creator of the Big Picture of life, the landscape, My plan for you and details may significantly change
according to My vision and according to My wisdom and creative imagination (2011:35)

The big question is, and what we as in, the whole universe are trying to find out here by means of this life, the life of
each individual and this thing called history that Ive often referred to as the Big Picture, is whose voice it really pays to
listen to, and whose advice was actually the best in the long run: Is it all those voices that tell you to do it their way, the
normal and regular way, the way basically everybody else does it?
Or is it that odd voice in the silence telling you to do it totally differently, in fact, diametrically opposed to the way theyre
telling you to? (2011:49)

Look at how Ive had to pull you along for all these years! And yet you definitely wound up playing your significant part in
My Big Picture. If Ive managed to do it for you, dont you think I can manage doing the same thing for them? (2011:51)

One of the greatest lessons hidden in the Big Picture of life is that theres a greater force, a greater entity at work here than
human rationale. And, basically, the ability to recognize, that is what faith is.
People who are absolutely incapable of perceiving any glimpse of the bigger picture behind that which is seen, and dont
show any interest or desire to make an effort to do so, are hard to deal with for someone who simply lives by different,
more spiritual criteria
Any kind of experience that forces you to reconsider what you think you know, take it as a valuable educational experience
designed to vastly expand your horizon and ultimately enhance your grasp of the Big Picture immensely. (2012:14)

The spirit of everyone fending for themselves is merely the same path of destruction that mankind has been walking for
Millennia, and not really the way to go, as the tale of the Big Picture of history will show in the end, when man in all his
glory will have reached his destination, which will turn out to be a dead end street. Trapped by his own efforts of self-
preservation, self-promotion, self-elevation, all of which will turn out to have been camouflaged mechanisms of self-
destruction. (2012:185)

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

Change

Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. Psalm 55:19

Things will not continue as they were. And when they will change, when that which is forecast will come to pass, then you
will have your chance, and I will have My chance, if you will let Me work and speak and move and live through you.
(I:16)

Habits and familiarity stand between that what you are and what you could be, between what you could accomplish and
that which you actually wind up doing. (I:53)

Everyday is a completely new chapter. Be prepared for anything, for changes. (I:98)

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. (I:123)

As long as youre pleased with yourself, its pretty hard for Me to get you to desperately want change. (I:199)

Stay alert in the Spirit, and open to unexpected moves and changes, never underestimating the little things! (I:224)

Im re-making you. Its a painful process, but it will be worth it. (I:233)

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. (I:239)

Its time for radical changes and time to get down to serious business with Me!
If something doesnt work, I dont seem to be blessing it, and withdraw My support, its 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. (I:253)

Be more than conquerors by the faith which overcometh the World, faith in Me and the higher calling and destiny Ive
ordained and empowered you for. Its going to be like flipping a switch, pressing the delete button, and 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; thats how drastic the difference is. (I:266)

Sometimes youve got to get right back to where you started from, in order to get somewhere new. If the roads youve
been walking so far havent taken you to your destination, youve got to get back to where you started from and try again.
Only remember, its a new era, and there are new methods and means youre going to have to use, new songs youre going
to have to sing, and new tools youre going to have to apply. (I:270)

Even changing one life is like changing a whole world, a whole universe. (I:284)

The times when youve been a lousy sample make you realize how desperately you need to change. (I:300)

Pioneering and stretching out your hands of faith in a new direction is what all My followers who are willing and ready to
undergo changes I bring about in their lives, are preparing for: the big changes in the World that are now on the horizon.
(I:302)

Things wont always continue as they are. (I:311)

Are you willing to change and let Me make you a new creature, or are you hanging on to the old the shadows of the past?
(I:339)

Leave the old ways behind. Come, step out into the new! Dont stay in the old, worn out rut! (I:363)

Are you willing to prepare for a change in your lives?

Are you embracing the changes or dreading them? (I:380)

As long as you still rely on yourself or your situation, its no good. Its got to be stirred up, lest it stagnates and becomes
no good. As long as theres motion in it, I can use it and it generates energy. As soon as the flow of motion stops, it dies
and becomes useless to Me.
So, let it blow, let it move, even if its all tossed about from one extreme to the other. (I:382)
54
There's still way too much of you in that vessel! Let Me pour it out and re-fill you, renew you! Give Me the rests of your old
self, let Me pour them on the ground and re-make you into something better; not a shining, glorious ornament, but a useful
vessel! (I:407)

Its one of the purposes in life to recognize how far you are from the state you're supposed to be, the heavenly or perfect
state. Only in recognizing how far away you are from it, can you realize the dire need you have of Me to change you, to
renew you, to save you. (I:429)

Trust in Me utterly and just plunge into Me, delve into Me and get lost in Me, never wanting to find any of your old self
again! I will make you a new creature! You won't recognize the old! (I:439)

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 and forsake all that you have and I'll give
you a hundred times more!" (I:450)

Life is exciting if you flow with My river of change! (I:453)

Sometimes you take what you're used to as the standard and 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, and 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 and comfortable rut..." (I:463)

As long as everything is honky-dory, you simply assume everything is the way it should be, so why get desperate and seek
Me about the things that need to change? When everything's the way you like it, you don't seek change, but rather to
preserve things the way they are.
But I want you to seek Me, and I need you to seek greater and closer union with Me and your helpers, I need you to focus
more on the spirit world, in order to ensure your future survival and greater fruitfulness for Me. (I:476)

Walk that road toward new horizons, open doors of change, toward surrender of your own ways! (I:486)

It's got to be your view, your focus, your attitude that's going to have to change. Changing the world starts with you. (I:517)

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 and receptive to My winds of change can enjoy new breezes and
exciting changes, both, in the spirit, and as a result of those changes in the spirit, also significant changes in the physical.
(I:520)

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 and 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 and sequels of all you've learned in the days before today, but yet there's a feeling and nuance
of newness and strangeness to it all. The victories of yesterday were won, but the outcome of today is still undetermined.
(I:525)

It's one thing to want to change, and another to actually do it and allow it to happen, and being truly open to change and
progress would mean to address the issues, not avoiding them. (I:528)

Welcome to the battle-field and to My army! This is how things work out here on the battle front: lots of changes, and you
can't get used to it fast enough. (I:532)

Changes are good for you, even if they're just changes of mind, of attitudes and perspectives and direction of focus. (I:552)

Sometimes the greatest waves of thankfulness come when you're just awed by the things I was able to do in your life
because you've had the guts to undergo a great big change in your life. (I:563)

Once you start changing, those changes usually become platforms for greater and better changes.
Changes are almost always blessed by Me, especially those that require a certain amount of boldness and sacrifice on
your part.
As long as you keep saying "yes" to Me and My open doors, you can be assured that I'll bless you. Trust Me for the
outcome. (I:579)

55
The power of habit keeps you lagging behind the way I would have you adapt to My changes. (I:585)

It's got to be love; anything else is not enough to make the difference. The difference between making money and
changing the world by daring to be different and striving for the things that last. The magic and power that's going to
enable you to make that difference is love! That's the difference that will arouse others' curiosity long enough to be willing
to ever listen to you, let alone follow you: It's the difference that will be the "happiness factor" in your life, and the energy
you lack. (I:594)

Keep praying for changes to happen! You don't like the way things are? Pray for Me to change them! (I:603)

You can shape your environment and change your world according to your faith.
You've got to cultivate your faith, and keep it growing! You've got to keep making progress, constantly gain new territory,
face new challenges, and have new changes. (I:604)

Radical, supernatural changes are required to make radical, supernatural progress! (I:606)

Spread your wings and fly to new horizons, do new things and enjoy the freedom I am giving you!
In order to open up a new book, you have to close the old book first. In order to start something new, you'll have to forsake
the old, something has to die in order to give way to the new. (II:2)

I'm making a new man out of you. One a lot less like yourself and a lot more like Me. (II:19)

This is a time of clearing out old cobwebs, of getting the victory over former bad habits, and a time of preparing for
something new. (II:23)

Sometimes something good has got to give for the benefit of something better. It's called sacrifice.
The greatest changes take the longest amounts of time to bring them about, the inner changes of heart.
Accept change as something good, something necessary, something wonderful in your life, and receive it with arms wide
open, just like a baby. A baby brings lots of changes into your life, and that's why children are becoming so unpopular in
today's society, who constantly resist change and fear not God.
The changes I bring into your life may look a little disturbing to you now, maybe useless, eating up your energy and
resources, costing you effort to dress and feed them, but in the future, if you keep feeding and seeing them through with
the right kind of spirit and attitude, you will see that it will truly have been for the best.
Change is really the opposite of the devil's spirit of stagnation. Although he pretends to be the great pioneer of change and
progress in the World and accuses Christians and believers of being old-fashioned, in the spirit his philosophy is really old
and rotten, and the same kind of selfish and greedy philosophy he has been introducing since the beginning.
Ask yourself everyday, what can we change today in order to make things better?
Any change happening in your lives is going to be for good and for the better.
Not only passively and reluctantly accept changes, but actively use them as a weapon to go on the offensive.
An attack is definitely a change, isn't it?
So, keep changing! Keep revoluting! Keep revolving and evolving, growing and splitting your cells, and multiplying.
Its better to make changes than merely taking them.
If you make changes instead of merely taking and accepting them as they come, then you take the initiative, and you call
the shots, you're on the offensive, and not on the defensive. (II:32)

It's not a time to keep going business as usual. It's a time of great change and a time of contemplation. It's a time to seek
My face and see what things I would have you do differently than the way you have been doing them. It's a time to get
ready for even greater changes ahead, for strengthening the things that remain, your faith and trust in Me and the things
which are not of the Earth, not seen, not temporal...
It's a time to start getting your act together as the messengers I want you to be, and not to keep leaning on the arm of the
flesh. It's time to quit repeating the same mistakes over and over again, of just doing what comes naturally, the obvious,
without even bothering to ask Me about it and consult with Me.
It's a time to be willing to let Me kill those unfruitful elements in your life and to allow Me to purge them and go on to newer,
more fruitful ways, methods and things. (II:39)

You can see the light on the horizon, but it still takes a little while until it's fully day.
A new day will come. A new page will be turned over. A new book will be written, and things will have changed. In the
meantime, pray for those changes to come to pass, which you can see now only in the distance, on the horizon. Don't fret
or get impatient, but pray them through!
I will make these things and 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. (II:41)

You have to let Me make you a new man, a new creature, the spiritual man. (II:68)

Just because you have grown used to the way things are doesn't mean that that's the way they're actually supposed to be.
I have come to bring change; a change of each and every life, a change of direction for each and every man and woman as
well as for mankind in general. My message was and still is: "repent!" Which means, "turn around! You're going the wrong
56
way! You may think you're going the right way, but I'm telling you something different! Now, who are you going to believe?
Here, this is the right way to go: follow Me, and I'll show you!"
One of Satan's greatest and most successful weapons against mankind is that feeling, "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. (II:76)

I can change any life! I might just do it in order to prove to you how wrong you are in putting Me or anyone else in a box,
because anything is possible, and anyone can change!
Be open to the possibility of Me changing anybody, no matter how hopeless it may look to you!
With Me, you better get ready for the unexpected! (II:77)

Judging people by their past mistakes, mentally putting people in a box consisting of the walls of the confines of your own
mind which you create for them out of your negative memories and experiences with them is not appropriate anymore in
this day and age when I'm changing lives radically and sometimes rapidly. (II:90)

The spiritual winter of your heart is over. The hardships you've been experiencing, the heat I've been putting on, are
causing the hard shell to soften and crack open and finally the new you is coming to life, the person I wanted you to be.
Not the cold, reserved, critical and calculating old you, but the loving, warm, affectionate, embracing you, that does not
hold back from Me nor from others! - A giving you, a smiling you, bubbling over with My humble joy and love, dropping
warmth and love and affection and encouragement into the hearts of those you pass by. (II:94)

You can change everything today. Being open to change is a key factor. (II:99)

One thing is putting people in boxes, labeling them and being unwilling to expect them to change. Another thing is, having
the faith that they're going to change and give them a piece of advice that has turned out to be helpful in your own life and
shown you where some of your own pitfalls were, as a tool and aid to help them make that change. (II:117)

Behold, I make all things new. I am the One Who brings variety and change! You can interpret that both ways: either you
just passively and patiently wait until I bring some kind of change about, or you take part in bringing change and renewal
about by absorbing Me, including Me in everything and focusing on Me, expecting change and thus helping to make it
happen.
All newness and variety that is good and positive originates from Me, and I am the Newness, the Variety and the Change
you seek!
Where do look for variety, for newness, for spunk and inspiration? At all the things you cannot have? No. At Me! (II:150)

Sometimes you've just got to forget everything you've learned in order to find the truth for the moment! You've got to
forget those circumstances which framed your condition that formed your view of things, in other words, just smash the
whole picture (icon=idol) of your perception of things and let Me make it over completely!
If something hinders or stops you from having changes, if something ties you down to a certain rut and keeps you from
obeying My commandment to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, then you can almost always
assume that the enemy's behind it. (II:161)

Those things you'd preferably do without, are the very things that are going to accomplish and bring about the changes
you need! (II:199)

Changes have to come from within, through loving fellowship and interaction with Me, through spending time with Me and
loving Me, you can't force these things in the flesh! Changes of the heart are miracles that only I can bring about, you can't
do it yourself, so quit trying and let Me do it! (II:219)

All things change. Perspectives change. Modes of operating change. Tactics change. The emphasis on certain weapons
can change and shift to another. There's more to learn. This doesn't mean we discard the previous classes and lessons
and acquired skills altogether, we just focus more on other things for a change, to learn additional, new things.
Things will not continue as they were and you might as well get ready for change, and more change. You've got to keep
growing, keep expanding your horizon, keep embracing the new, the fresh, although it initially may feel strange to you.
We're not trying to establish a new ritual or routine. We're trying to keep things alive and moving and progressing, and that
includes and means changing.
If you want to make forward movement, then this requires change. You can't expect progress without change. (II:231)

Open yourself to new images from My Spirit, new experiences, new feelings! You must be completely open to the totally
new. I am the New, the flesh is the old. I am the Door to the new, the Way to the new, the Shepherd leading you to new
pastures, the new bread, the new water of life, the Light, making obsolete the old darkness which formerly surrounded
you, and leading you ever onwards, away from the former, the old, the well-known. (II:262)

Things change by the decisions people make. (II:263)

Let My Spirit move and think and speak in and through you! Feel how it's changing you, making a new creature out of you!
Focus on the new way, the new thing I am doing in your life! (II:273)
57
The world always goes the way of the flesh, the selfish way, the way of decay, the ways of death! My way is always the new
way, the contrary to the usual way, the revolutionary, unselfish way, the way of faith! (II:277)

Following Me requires flexibility and openness to change. Following Me is a constant revolution. I am Revolution. Stay
flexible and revolutionary! (II:287)

It's so important to keep revoluting, to keep changing in your life, and not fall into any ruts, routines and habits. (II:293)

You're supposed to come away changed from My Presence; you're supposed to take some of My Presence with you and
show the World, let them see that you've been with Me, it's supposed to make a difference!
Stay focused on Me and only turn to the world in order to show them Me and the influence I've been having on your life,
the change I've evoked in you, the difference I made in your life! (II:299)

What a mess people can make of their lives if they just go through the motions, walk in the flesh and never stop in order to
truly reach out and grasp for My Spirit, grab hold of Me and My grace to change their lives. (II:300)

You have the power to change your circumstances, and I need you to make use of that power! (II:325)

Health troubles are like warning signs that things can't keep going the way they have. A break or a change is required.
And, as you know, changes are good for you, including physical changes like changing your diet, or fasting for some time.
(II:330)

Ringing out the old, ushering in the new is one of life's cycles and main themes.
Live a life of moving, vibrant change. Ever-flowing, turning, revolving, moving, never stopping, never stagnating, forever
young, forever changing. You can only do that by living the life of the Spirit, by attuning your life to My Spirit, for what My
Spirit signifies in this world, is change. In reality, it is ever constant, but as far as this world is concerned, it signifies
change, because the state of this world is rebellion against Me, against My newness. It wants to stagnate, it wants to rot. It
is death. I am life, but this world is death. So, by staying alive and continuing to move and flow with My Spirit, by living the
life of the Spirit, you actually bring life into this dying, and in some ways already dead world. (II:334)

You're My heralds of change. You don't play along in their game, because you know it isn't going to last. It is programmed
and destined to fail, to cease, in fact, it's already petering out. With your life-style, you're signaling change, sending out the
message, "I have changed, and if you were brave enough, you could do it too! We don't all have to be slaves of the Matrix.
Change is possible. And change will come. Don't think your system is the only one possible. Don't think it's going to last
forever..."
I'm still planning to come and take over this world. I'm still planning on changing everything! I'm still on My way!
Some of My changes are not fast, but slow and majestic. I take time. (II:335)

Don't just let the things I tell you serve to inform you, to merely add to your knowledge, but let them form you, shape your
heart, and consequently change your life and your actions. Only this way will you be able to move out into other people's
lives and change them also. (II:343)

The greatest danger in communal living does not come in form of disunity but it's the negative peer pressure of
lukewarmness! - The contagious disease of stuck-in-the-rut-ness. The constant resistance to change, especially true
change and deep metanoia of the heart. The comfortable refusal to really open your heart to new things, your eyes to new
things I might show you - even about people you never even cared to notice before, because you were way too
preoccupied with yourself! (II:345)

Be a living token of the fact that all things will not continue as they are! (II:374)

I've always had to stop the flow of business as usual. Moses wouldn't have left for the wilderness if he hadn't killed the
Egyptian, if everything would have continued on the way it had been...
I'm bringing you into a position where you are more willing to make changes that you simply wouldn't undergo voluntarily,
out of your own initiative, if there was no need for them. (II:388)

You need change, and change in any form is good for you, and the more courage you have for greater, radical changes, the
better. (II:397)

Listen 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.
Maybe we've been getting away with singing yesterday's tune today, but you won't be able to get away with it tomorrow.
We're heading into the future, and I'm giving you constant upgrades. (II:410)

What you need is a change of attitude, not a change of circumstances. Once your own heart, attitude and view is changed,
you're going to be a lot more effective in helping to change other hearts, attitudes and points of view. (II:417)

58
To hell with the old way! Open your life to My new, unconventional way, the way on which you'll have to trust Me for every
step! (II:456)

The newness of constant change is what will keep you alive. (II:464)

If the situation is bad, change it! I have given you the power to change your situation! (II:471)

Believe that I can change any life! (II:482)

Beware of taking for granted what you have, and wanting something different, the "grass on the other side" syndrome! It
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! (II:498)

The most important changes take place in the heart, and changing your circumstances won't do the trick if there hasn't
been an inward change happening. (II:505)

All I'm saying is, "Try this! This is the way We do things in heaven, and it's the ideal way I've ordained for My disciples to
do things in general, and if you try it, it might bring about some major improvements in your life." (II:532)

The first thing you've got to change in order to change the world and make it better is yourself. And what other way do I
have to let you know that you need to change; that things are not okay the way things are, but to allow things to go wrong?
(II:546)

In cases where your service for Me is what matters most and is of much greater importance than any relationship ever
could be, changes in relationships, including separations, come more often from My hand than the enemy. It's more often
than not a blessing, which brings positive changes into the separating individuals' lives, freeing them from the chains of
former habits and ruts.
If you're having serious long-standing problems in your relationship and serious doubts about it - doubts about the
authenticity of the motivations that hold it together, then you should certainly be brave enough to seriously consider a
separation and at least talk and pray about it.
Sometimes I make things "unbearable" in order to evoke change. The only alternative would be a slow, painful death,
caused by stagnation, compromise, and what ultimately amounts to disobedience.
So, please allow Me to rock your boat again, because, as lovely as the ride may have been, I'm afraid you got a little off the
course and track that I want you to follow, and if that's what still matters to you in the first place, then definite changes will
have to be made, and I mean any kind of change it takes, not just the ones you would be willing to make. If you're not
willing to make the kind of changes I want you to make, you know that I can make your life of compromise and
disobedience fairly unbearable, and if you refuse to give Me what is rightfully Mine, I can take a collection that will far
surpass what I might have required from you in the first place. (II:561)

Your life without Me was like a desert, but I came into your life and changed it into a pleasant land. Now, your job is to turn
around and - in order to maintain the happiness I have given you in the first place - to change the barren lands of others'
lives into lush green lands also. (II:563)

Certain experiences can bring about changes in your attitudes, which will enable you to handle situations with renewed
zest and energy, and in different ways. (II:572)

Changes are good for you. I never take one thing away from you without giving you something better.
Keep your eyes and ears open for changes. Be flexible. Be movable. (II:582)

You constantly need to upgrade your artillery in order to stay up to par with the enemy.
You can't just remain the same, you can't just keep what you've got, but you've got to change, upgrade, make progress.
Sometimes the old equipment or modus operandi just won't do anymore, and you'll need to upgrade, and when the time
comes, there's simply no way around it.
Move along with the flow of the new. Be open and ready for the flow of the new through you, that which will radically renew
the System of Everything.
Bring as much change into your life as possible, so that it won't just be the same rut and routine. (II:588)

Learn to avail yourself of My Power to change things!

Usually you'll find that according to your faith it will be done unto you, according to your faith in My ability to change your
circumstances. All it depends on is, do you want Me to change your circumstances? Then let Me know!
It's easier than you think for you to change your circumstances; all it often takes is your choice to want to have them
changed!
You can achieve greater results by praying for the little things and their outcome, not just passively resigning to the way
they are, but doing something, namely pray, in order to change them. (II:608)

59
It's the old man, your carnal man, which is at enmity with God, whom you must deny access to your system, the place from
which you govern your life, like an old operating system that doesn't want to give up its realm easily, although it has
already been replaced by a new and better one.
Of course, the enemy actively tries to install the old system again, your old ways of doing things, your old habits, or the
old ways of the flesh sometimes in a new disguise.
The old self is all about taking and getting. The new man, the new creature, is all about giving. The old man is negative, the
new man is positive. Once you're born again and you have learned to let Me empty you of all the old things and then fill
you with My new and good things, the input that will cause you to give instead of constantly having you concerned about
getting more, acquiring more, consuming and accumulating, which was the game of the old man, then you can learn to
embrace your new man, My spiritual creation that is you. (II:612)

Prayer is the most effective thing to do in order to bring about the truly needed changes.
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.
Like this you can become a much more effective agent of change, too, if first of all, you allow Me to change yourself. The
first on the list to change the World is "yourself."
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. You will be much more content and happy with things the way they are, a lot more trusting, that I'm
having My way and that My way is good.
Strive to get to a point where you can see things My way, so that you know what really needs to be changed, and what doesn't.
More often than not, it's really so that what needs changing is yourself, your own heart, your ideas, your mindset, your
concept of things, your perception.
Don't look so far for the things that need to be changed, but start right here, in your very heart! Allow Me to change you
from the inside, and often you'll find half of the changes you would have liked to be made not even necessary anymore. If
everyone would just allow Me to change them and work on the beam in their own eyes (you see that it's all a matter of
seeing?), then a lot of "splinters" you previously saw in your brothers' eyes would all of a sudden not even really be there
anymore... Or if they would, you'd find it so much easier to help that brother remove it by your own sample of having let Me
freed you from your own beam, your own renewed perception of things.
It's like that prayer, "Lord, help us to change those things that need to be changed, and to not change those things that
don't need to be changed, and most of all, help us to know the difference."
What needs to be changed most and first of all is you. (II:623)

Make each day as if it were the first day of a new period of your life, and it is, because it's a different period than the past.
It's the present: the beginning of the future, where you can do all things differently than you ever did them before.
As long as there's still room in your life for improvement, as long as your life isn't perfect yet, you should always be openly
welcoming change and that wonderful opportunity to learn how to do things differently than in the past, to see things from
a totally new angle, and just let each day be a new learning experience, a new episode, almost like the beginning of a
whole new life.
Break out of the cocoon of the old! Experience My newness. Let Me renew you, your vision, your concepts, your outlook,
your whole being.
To be "transformed by the renewing of your minds" is something you have to experience every day in order to find My
good and acceptable and perfect will for you every day (Rom.12.2). Let Me "reincarnate" in you every day, to make your life a
radical force of change for Me. Don't get stuck in any old mindsets, even if you "already have the truth." Good for you! But
what is the truth that I want to teach you today? What is the lesson, the metanoia, the revelation for this day? This day, I
can make all things new. This day, things will never have to be the same they used to be! This day, I can work in your life in
a way I never have before, if you determine to let Me. This day can be the first day of not only the rest of your life, but of a
brand new life altogether, with brand new prospects, aspects and perspectives, a brand new outlook, brand new horizons,
visions, goals, methods... all depending on how open you are for Me and My changes, My Grace!
You can be constantly renewed with heavenly fresh air and new whiffs of My Spirit (Tit.3:5).
I bring new concepts, new perspectives, new pictures and illustrations to your mind to give you a renewed vision. (II:625)

Everything can change. The factors can change, the parties involved can change, the cards can change. Those who
formerly were against Me can change and work for Me instead, as it unfortunately works the other way around...
Your friends of yesterday can become your enemies of tomorrow and vice versa. The only thing that changes not and you
can rely on is My being on your side.
It all depends on choices made within those different fractions, people, governments, societies... Their structures change
from within according to the decisions and choices made on individual levels as well as corporate. (III:32)

With fearful people transformation takes place more slowly as they carefully make each step, making sure they're not
giving more than they can afford, or falling into some trap which they suspect around just about every corner. (III:33)

Do you really think I can do all things, change all things that need to be changed? (III:47)

It wouldn't occur to anyone that changing a diaper would be a significant act in the light of Eternity or the coming Kingdom
of God, but if you think again, you'll see that the selfless and humble act of caring for another helpless human being is
very much something that prepares you for it. It's all about copying God and learning to be like Him, and changing diapers

60
is something He very much does in a spiritual way all the time, when you've gotten yourself into a mess up to your neck,
He always pulls you out of it again, cleans you up and gives you a fresh diaper, right?
God has changed you and cleaned you from your own dirty righteousness and sanctified you with His - simply by your act
of receiving Me, His love-gift and Universal Power-Cleaner...
So, get a change each day, and make sure you run around clean and fresh, bathed in My true righteousness, and not
clinging to your own, old smelly version. You have to continue disposing yourself of your waste and getting clean before
Me and through Me, flushed by My water of the Word, which I abundantly pour forth for you, as much as you need.
Like a loving Father and Mother Who lovingly and smilingly change Their baby's diaper... The Father loves to rid you of
your old waste and make you all new and clean.
Many diapers to change, both physically and spiritually. (III:56)

We're supposed to change the world. You're not just supposed to moan about the state it's in, you're supposed to do
something to change it!
What have you done today to change the world, to improve it and to make it different from the miserable state you're so
miserable about? (III:111)

The most dangerous threat to genuine learning is the illusion that you're right, and that there's nothing to change about
your views and attitudes. (III:137)

If you discern the signs of the times, you can tell that time is getting shorter, and you'd rather have an impact on people's
lives that's going to cause them to make appropriate changes now than a day too late. (III:151)

You're not going to touch or change anybody's life, unless you can show clearly by your behavior and the light in your
eyes that you're different and truly have something else to offer. (III:155)

Be a sample of flexibility and openness to change; of yieldedness and humility: be living proof that it's not all that bad to
forsake one or more of your own ideas for the sake of a simpler, easier solution. (III:169)

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!
Nothing has to stay the same. I've got the power to change and radically alter everything, any situation, mood or
circumstance you may find yourself in, any state of powerlessness or frustration. (III:188)

I bring about those changes in your life to avoid that the same should happen to you that's happening in so many others'
lives: "Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God."
It is the changes that make you revere Me, respect and appreciate Me as the faithful Constant that I am.
It will help you cope with any losses, changes, any crises and drastic turn of events and circumstances.
If you consciously make Me the one remaining Constant in your life, you'll see how easy it will become for you to adapt to
any kind of change. (III:196)

Its time to try a new thing, to have faith for new steps, and for Me to open new doors and avenues. (III:221)

The winds of change are blowing, but man's nature is thus that he often ignores them and resists them. He tries to keep
things the way they are, tries to preserve and conserve them, and continue all things as they have been (2Peter 3:4). (III:229)

Wishing things were different so that you can do better just won't work. You've got to make the best out of what you've got,
you can do your best to make things better from where you are, and you'll see that that's the way to get ahead, or change
the circumstances. You yourself can change them, either through your prayers or actions or words, but never through
moaning and complaining about them.
The power to change things is in your hands.
You don't like the way things are? Change'em! (III:238)

Being accepted by others makes you comfortable about who and what you are already. But I want you to keep changing, I
want you to keep moving and progressing more in My direction. (III:241)

Change and progress isn't going to happen by watching and looking on and then being disappointed that it won't... 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. (III:246)

No whining about circumstances accepted! It's time for you to rise above them and look beyond them, to accept the power
I have given you to change them or to act in spite of them! (III:272)

Be thankful for the lean times, and times of crisis, when there is only a void for Me to fill, and a desperate need for Me to
come in and change things and mend them again. (III:285)

When you're finding out how much love you're lacking in your life, then you're really finding out how much you've been
lacking in your life. You realize just how empty you are without Me and My Spirit... just how hard and cold and empty it is
61
inside there, without Me lighting My fire there, and just how badly you need Me to change you and put that new heart
within you that I promised (Ez.36:26). (III:289)

Its the confrontation with the unpleasant thought that evokes the kind of changes that have been the driving force behind
history, like the spirit of the song "Amazing Grace," that freed the world from slavery.
There are changes coming up that are beyond peoples grasp, because all they focus on and deal with is the immediate, what's
right in front of their noses.
Be honored that you're counted worthy to suffer relative solitude along with most of My other truly greats who changed the
course of history! (III:310)

Sometimes familiarity between people is the very factor that most hinders anyone from becoming a new creature. They
would like to become one, but the other person won't let them because they continue to see the old man, the person they
used to be, in them.
Sometimes I use a third person to help someone become the new creature they're supposed to be, especially when that
person has the sort of qualities that the one I'm trying to change lacks. (III:312)

It's the essence of change vibrating in you that lets others know you're alive.
It all depends on how open you are to My input, how adaptable to what I'm bringing into your life... (III:315)

Life is full of surprises. And often those surprises, those things that turned out so different from the way you expected, are
key factors in making you change.
That's why people can change so drastically in their personalities when they mature.
Experience has taught them that life has this quality of tossing about all their former expectations. Their own little
concepts and perceptions of the world and mindsets simply often don't work out, and they realize they ought to try a
different direction and head down a different track...
Often, the conclusion they come to is, "What do I really know at all?" All their former concepts and truths are being tossed
over a heap, and they realize they've got to start anew and build a different concept, a different life, or a different family, a
different job... Whatever it is they think they need to change.
And it's good. Changes are good for them. (III:326)

Change of heart is something you need to seek and want and ask for, like Salvation.
If you think you don't need change, it's as if you think you're already perfect.
What do you think is the purpose of all My instructions to you, of all the exposures of sin and the enemy's tactics in your
personal life? It's so that you change things, change wrong attitudes and behavior and thought patterns. If you want to
change the world, the first step is to change yourself, or allow Me to change you or help you change.
You should actively seek out the areas in which you need change in your personal life!
Don't let the vicious cycle become a permanent cycle.
Just decide to implement some change in the "matrix," the way things are, the rut and routine of what your life is at
present.
You want to change things and change the way they are? You bet you can! (III:349)

If you realize you need to change, or even only that it wouldn't be a bad idea to change, you can't expect that the mere
realization alone is going to solve all your problems: "Poof, now I'm changed, presto!"
Because then, as soon as the slightest bit goes wrong, you'll wonder, "What happened? Is that what I get for it?" and you
even wonder if your intention to change might be what caused the problem.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It's just that you haven't even seriously begun to change yet. You may think, and
live in the delusion that just because you are now willing to change, the process of changing is already complete, but that
is, of course, nothing more than wishful thinking.
The bulk of the work is still ahead of you, and if you let the first sign of difficulty dissuade you from seeing it through, then
you'll be making it very easy for the devil.
You've got to keep wanting change, keep seeking change and keep asking Me to highlight areas in your life that would be
good to change.
Sometimes it's personal ruts and lack of change which make people grow together in an unhealthy type of codependency,
almost like an addiction to the way things are. But if you determine to change things about you, personally, your habits,
your attitude, your outlook, behavior, and even your appearance, then you make room for new things.
Its your life, and you have not only the liberty and the right, but the duty to make necessary changes in it that I require of
you. If you don't manage to make those changes together, then you just have to take the first step alone. After all, it's your
life that needs change, right?
While you're still in the beginning stages of the "new you," it may come across as a little clumsy, and sometimes you may
only find a lack of support from others, who don't even know what's going on. You may think, "Come on, everybody, don't
you realize I'm trying to change here, so could you please give me a hand?"
But all they can figure is, "Oh, he must be up to his old antics again..."
So, personal change and change of heart is something that you and you alone have got to be serious about and got to
have the determination to see through. You can't make it dependent at all on whatever support you might be getting from
others. Chances are there will be none. People have unrealistic expectations of each other at times, and they figure, if
you've come to grips with the fact that you ought to change things about you, then you'd better do it quickly, quietly and
pleasantly.
62
But that's not always how it works. It's like learning to ride a bike, drive a car or learning to fly: there are some not so
smooth landings and maneuvers you make on your way to getting used to the new method of transporting yourself from A
to B, and all the other drivers behind you shake their heads...
But don't let that deter you. Just keep on learning from your mistakes and keep your focus on the goal, a new, more
pleasant you, no matter what it takes to get there.
They told you it would be good to acquire these new qualities, alright, but it's up to you to acquire and learn them. The
work and the job are yours. This is your role to play. It's your magic act you've got to work on, with My help, of course, and
have Me show you, My apprentice, how to transform the old, grumpy you, into a new, cheerful and more pleasant version.
I'll show you all the moves and tricks, but you've got to do the learning.
It's the era of miracles, alright, and the first miracle I want to perform in your life is on you! The first life I want to
miraculously change is yours, the first resurrection I want to perform through you is the raising up of a wonderful, new you
from the ashes of the old.
It takes a few more steps than one to get there. There's the "roll ye away the stone" stage, then the "unwrap him" stage,
and finally, the "come forth!"
There will also be attempts of dissuasion: "Lord, are You serious? He's been dead for so long, he stinketh..." But you've
just got to be determined to see it through: "Do you want to see the miracle of the new me, or don'tcha?"
It's miracle time, resurrection time, and show time, folks! Let's have some action around here, and show off some
miraculous transformation power! And guess who'll be the first one we'll perform our miraculous transformation power
on? Yes, none less than little old, insignificant you! After all, if they see that we've managed to radically change and
overhaul you, then they'll know anything wonderful can happen from there on.
You better believe Me for big things, and expect big changes to happen! (III:350)

There's yet another portion of devotion to be added to your effort to change and letting Me change you. (III:352)

I'm trying to get you out of your little ruts and routines in order to bring about something new - a break with the old, and
the beginning of something new. Forget about the former way of doing things, period! Make room for the new!
I like flexibility, adaptability, mobility and availability, readiness to become whatever it is I happen to need at the time.
That's what I call revolutionary.
The last thing I want is for everything to continue as usual. Rut-thinking has never turned anyone on to turn the world
right-side-up for Me! No more "business-as-usual."
There's got to be movement and revolution happening, and in order for that to happen, some things have got to change!
Stop and find out what it is I want you to change and do differently.
You have believed in change, and have invested your time accordingly, not in the ways of this world, which you know are
going to change, but in My eternal and everlasting and unshakable values. (III:355)

I'm not allowing things to be too comfortable for you. If everything was in order, and you could just live your wee happy
little life in comfort, ease and prosperity, you wouldn't care too much about the state of the rest of the world, either.
If things would be going too smoothly for you, you'd simply become too comfortable, too complacent, too much at ease
and too indifferent to the state of the world, you wouldn't be moved into action to change something for Me.
If everything was harmony, then you'd probably just stay right where you are and never move into any change or progress
voluntarily.
Whereas, if things are not fine the way they are, then you move into some means to change.
You can at least pray for change or desire change... anything but stagnation and the same old rut.
You never found your "perfect situation" yet with which you would be so comfortable that you wouldn't desire anymore
change.
When things aren't the way you wish for them to be, and it keeps you from being totally satisfied with your situation, that's
the factor that will move you into change.
When you desire change, then things can move forward, and otherwise they won't. That's one reason why things just can't
be perfect until I come. (III:366)

The onus is on you to change anything, not so much on the other parties involved. You can either want the change, and do
fight for it to happen, or give in. (III:367)

Change is up ahead inevitably. Things will not always continue as they are. There is one impending change that is
inevitably going to hit everyone, even if they wont live to see the Endtime or My return, and that is death.
The flesh thinks and trusts that all things will continue as they are, thats why people will always continue to work as they
have been for years and decades. No major changes have happened yet, so its unlikely to assume that theyre still going
to happen, so, why make any unnecessary preparations or adaptations? Like the parable of the frog: if you put him in hot
water hell immediately jump out, but if you heat up the water gradually, hell stay inside until the water starts boiling.
So, if circumstances are becoming quite uncomfortable and almost unbearable for you, maybe its because somethings
severely wrong, and going to become worse. Maybe its an indicator that the water is becoming very hot, and its time for
drastic changes, time to jump out, before youre going to boil. (III:373)

I want you to be aware that changes might be required in the future, and not to be stuck in your present mindset, but
realize that you may have to adapt to times becoming darker and more severe, even darker than the Roman persecution
and the Inquisition!
You may have to radically change tactics in the days to come, if youre going to survive.
63
Changes are up ahead, and while I do want you to keep that radical spirit, I will need you to manifest it in different ways in
the future!
A new day is ringing in, and its bringing along lots of exciting changes, which means, parting with the old.
Nostalgia is not appropriate, but vigilance and being on the lookout for whatever changes I want to usher in next.
Thats what it means to stay revolutionary.
I want you to be ready at all times, and willing, to make the necessary changes, whenever required.
Be truly radical and stay on your toes, ready to change at a moments notice. You cannot afford to become stagnant and
set in your ways. You need to stay flexible and alive, changeable, moving!
There are great changes coming about that Old Bottles stuck in their pre-set ways wont make it through.
I want to use you for as long as I can, and I need you to be flexible and adaptable in order to ensure that!
Unwillingness and resistance to change is a sign of being an Old Bottle.
Even giving up your idea of what a New Bottle is supposed to look like, can be part of it.
I need you to be radical enough to change! I need you to welcome change, embrace change and to live constant change.
Change means progress the opposite of stagnation and becoming stuck in a rut. In order to keep alive, old things have
got to go, and youve got to change! So, keep moving with the breath of My Spirit, and come, flow with Me! (III:378)

Its time for changes, and Im trying to introduce them as painlessly as possible, trust Me; but with your tendency to take
the easiest way out, some discomfort is simply inevitable.
Times are changing and requiring different, more mature attitudes, more mature openness in communication, better
organization, and leaving a lot of youthful, if not to say childish traits behind. (III:415)

Even apparently puny, seemingly futile and desperate efforts to change things are better than doing nothing at all in
resignation. (III:416)

A zero change and zero progress attitude is an attitude that leads to stagnation and death. (III:441)

Youve got to believe in My miracle-working Power going to work in people; you cannot underestimate what I can do to
change peoples lives. (III:447)

If I cant even come into your life effectively enough to bring about a visible change, how can you expect folks to believe
you that Im going to come back into the world to take it over and make everything better? (III:456)

You have to have faith in My Power to change people from what they are into what theyre supposed to be, just as a
caterpillar is going to change into a butterfly. (III:460)

In order to truly keep growing until the day you die, youve got to keep open for changes and new revelations and new
directions from Me. (III:461)

The change that would be required to have things start going in a better direction is one that needs to take place right in
peoples own hearts. (III:480)

Sometimes the quickest way to get more is to let go of the old and open your life for the new that Ive got in store for you.
(III:483)

Things arent going to stay forever as they are. Tough changes are up ahead, and the sooner you get ready for change and
for whats ahead, the better equipped youre going to be. (III:496)

One of the obstacles that prevent change is the inability to see the need for positive change, progress and improvement.
As Im concerned, and everything is not well, but in dire need of drastic change! (III:520)

The real degree and grade of revolutionary depends on your connection with Me, which is either real, or it isnt, and if it
is, you usually wont have any problems with changes or having things done in a different way than usual. (III:533)

We have Our little suggestions box called prayer, and if theres anything youd like to change, just let Me know!
If theres anything youd like to change or try out, say so! (III:539)

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.
Next time Ill come, Ill change the circumstances, too. But until then, youre pretty much in the same boat that I was in,
trying to change hearts, and you can only do that by continuing to lay down your life. (III:556)

Sometimes things dont change as much as they could, because you surrender to lifes circumstances too easily; theyre
still too comfortable for you to really wholeheartedly desire, and thus pray for a change. The enemy tries to pacify you with
substitutes for the Real Thing that make you think, Come on, its not all that bad, really! No need to start praying for any
drastic changes here
Thats another way he can lull people to sleep. Its a false sense of contentment, which actually amounts to settling for less
than you could have and get out of life, if you would just be desperate and willing enough to pray for Me to change things.
64
Sometimes the mere prospect and possibility of change can already bring positive changes in itself.
Sometimes the way to rise above your circumstances is to have the faith to change them. Sometimes rising above requires
more than a change of attitude and the ability not to be touched by the circumstances, but a real, actual change in the
physical. (III:568)

You can already change a lot by praying. If you havent really prayed yet for a change to happen, you might want to give
that option a try. (III:569)

Ive been advocating inward changes all along.

Changing things starts right there and now with you, right where you are! Dont wait for anyone to come and save you, Im
already right there! (III:570)

Its 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 (III:591)

See each change as a new challenge for improvement! (III:605)

Things are going to have to change, because change is the one guaranteed factor of this, My revolution, and has been,
from the beginning.
Hang in there, in other words, means, keep changing! (IV:6)

You mustnt make the mistake of underestimating the power Ive given you to change things, to influence things, even if by
nothing else but your prayers.
Things wont just improve by themselves if you wont do anything about them! If you want things to change for the better,
the one thing not to do is to just stand by passively and watch it all go down the drain.
The wrong attitude to have is, If things arent the way I think they should be, why should I make any effort to change
them? Well, thats perhaps precisely why they are the way they are, so that you make an effort to evoke some kind of
difference. Maybe youre there to make that difference. Maybe thats why youre 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.
Instead of letting the negative things you observe kill your faith, why dont you use them as an incentive to determine to do
what you can in order to change things for the better? You can change things for the better, I have given you that power!
Now, will you use it? (IV:7)

The world around you will keep changing, your immediate circumstances will change, and everything around you may
develop into something beyond recognition, yet I want you to know that I remain the one Constant in your life that you can
forever rely on. (IV:8)

Being open to change, wanting and desiring change and actively looking for it and for ways to change is precisely the
attitude thats needed: What can I do in order to make more progress, what should I change? etc.
As long as you seek change, keep your eyes open for potential change in your life, as long as you keep looking ahead,
looking for the new, and embracing it when you see it, instead of rejecting it, youre bound to make progress and some
forward movement. (IV:27)

Sometimes an ingredient is missing, and I want you to introduce some necessary changes, try out something new, add a
new factor to your modus operandi (IV:34)

Only with the passage of time and more time do people begin to realize that what is truly considered progress is
something often quite different from those things they pursued in their younger years. Values change. Everything
changes. (IV:55)

The times indeed are changing, and all things wont continue as they have been, and My people are the first who must take
note of the changes, if they want to be any help in leading the rest of the sheep and letting them know whats going on.
(IV:69)

Look at the changes I brought into the official standard of Gods teachings! And things keep changing, the changes
havent stopped there. (IV:93)

Im still trying to shift your faith from the circumstances to Me, the potential Changer of circumstances. Maybe thats a
promise for you to cling to: Behold, I make all things new. In other words, Im not only able to change things for the
better and make them new, but thats what I do; its My profession and what Im best at, so to speak.
Im the New-Maker, the Changer, the Resurrection and the Life. Im the Restorer of old, useless things, even entire lives and
worlds. So, dont despair when you see things developing in an unpleasant direction or going down the drain. Theres
nothing I couldnt salvage. Nothing is beyond hope. (IV:95)

Most people are not pioneers by nature, but theyre comfortable with their old and usual set of rules, the way theyve
known for things to work all along. They dont know Me well enough to recognize Me as a Dynamo of change.
I may not change, but I sure cause things to change.
65
When Christianity was born, it came into a world that was ruled by an already stagnant empire, and it came as a force of
radical change, and it did change the world of its era. The devils forces tried to stamp it out for three centuries until they
realized that the only way to truly overcome this dangerous enemy was by joining them and infiltrating them from within,
causing Christianity to become a conservative force itself, instead of the revolutionary force of change and renewal it had
been up until that point.
Its a struggle to stay alive and to keep the flame burning, and to keep revolting, and to remain a force for change, and a
source of life, and not fall into the trap of stagnation and solidification. (IV:96)

Verses like, I am the Lord, I change not, or Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and the same forever, indicate that I am a
steady, unmoving and stable Factor. In fact, the only stable Factor compared to all those other moving objects that slowly
and maybe unnoticeably, but nonetheless inevitably slide towards death and perdition.
If you want to cling to something unmovable, unchanging, a truly reliable and steady Factor in your life, as opposed to all
the other fleeting subjects and objects in your life, the smartest thing to do is to put your faith wholly in Me. (IV:105)

A life without Me is an empty life, and you can change their lives from an empty into a full one.
Give Me a chance to change their lives. (IV:108)

Theres nothing you cant change through prayer. Dont like your circumstances? Pray for Me to changeem! (IV:148)

Change is going to have to happen one way or another.

Ive been advocating inward change, as taking you someplace else wont necessarily solve the situation if you drag the
same inward problems around with you.
On the other hand, sometimes physical changes can be helpful in bringing about inward changes, and if nothing else
works and you simply wont change your attitudes, behavior and mindsets voluntarily, then usually some physical change
is the last resort by creating a new set of circumstances under which youre simply going to have to adapt your behavior.
Because they have no changes, they fear not God (Ps.55:19), in some ways means that, Because they have no outward
changes, they dont have any inward changes.
Fear and respect of Me means obeying My commandments, which means adaptation from the usually originally sinful
behavior to a different one, in other words, an inward change; and outward changes are simply conducive to those inward
changes.
Sometimes in another light the factors that need change are more easily seen, but on the other hand, it could also take a
while until the things that need change would crop up in your life and become recognizable and thus attack-able and
changeable.
Keep praying for changes inward changes most of all.
Changing the world starts with you. (IV:169)

See things through the eyes of love, and make it your yard stick by which you measure everything, even the cost and price
and value of your daily endeavors!
Youll see priorities shifting in your life. Things will change. Most importantly, you will change. (IV:200)

How else can I teach you new lessons, unless I allow new things and situations to occur in your life? - Even if they may not
strike you as favorable. Sometimes all that matters is that theyre a change from the usual something different.
I like whatever is the opposite of conservative and stagnant. I like the alive and moving. (IV:203)

There is no chance for redemption unless the problem and the need for a solution have been recognized. As long as you
think that nothings wrong with you and what youre doing, you dont see the need to change things.
Theres something new to be created, something new to be done, some innovations and changes to be made that will
bring about the progress and the fruit you desire. (IV:207)

You live and learn by experience, finding out just what happens if certain things occur.
Changes are brought about that way, too. You may realize that certain things you may have once considered the end of the
world may not be that grave, after all, so you change your attitude and opinion about them, you overcome your fears of
them, and thus you become more free and independent. (IV:210)

The fundamental difference has always been between those who clung to the old, existing system, and those who were
ready to let it go in favor of the new, which is, in essence, that which I want to bring into the world and into each individual
life that is ready and makes room for it. (IV:235)

When everything is just honky-dory and everything flows without much effort, youre more complacent and satisfied with
things as they are, and thus, less determined to change anything. You become more conservative, interested in preserving
things as they are instead of changing them.
So it becomes clear why a less-than-perfect situation becomes preferable to Me.
Routinated people will preserve the routine, the status-quo. Change-oriented people, who are conscious of the need for
change because they look around at whats happening all around them, are not interested in preserving the status quo or
the way things are.
Its one of the devils tactics: to keep people too busy to look around at what ought to be changed.

66
Have you been looking around for possibly needed changes and improvement? Or have you just been fine with and
complacent about the current flow of things? What would you do in order to spur your followers on to change? (IV:249)

Change is the very nature of My Revolution, because its what this old, stagnant world most desperately needs.
It may have change plenty on the surface, but underneath its still the same old forces, mottoes and attitudes of Dog eat
dog and each his own that have governed it from the beginning.
You think youre going to change the world by availing yourself of conventional means and methods? Think again! (IV:271)

If you want to please Me as your Teacher by the way you show what youve learned from Me, then its pretty hard to make
Me happy with the sort of development where not much progress has been made over quite some amount of time in the
area of faith, and it should give you reason for concern and make you seek to make an effort to change in that area. (IV:279)

I, the Lord, may not change and remain a firm Constant, but My methods and even rules of the game may be changed at
any time, according to the need and the strategy the enemy is playing, or even according to My Own judgment of what
would be the best strategy to apply for the moment.
Basically the camp of believers is divided into those who claim that God cannot change His own rules He has laid down for
man, and those who believe that He can, and that nothing is impossible with Him. (IV:326)

My message to everyone, anywhere: Dont invest your time exclusively in the there and now! Dont settle for what you can
see at present, because things arent going to stay the same. There will be changes happening inevitably that you will wish
you had prepared for, had invested some thought in and had made provisions for.
Untold numbers of people experience the typical shock every day because they did not make preparations for unexpected
changes, because they believed all things would continue as they were. (IV:333)

The problem with aging is that whatever tendency you groom yourself in, will grow more intensive and harder to change
over time. If youve been indulging in a selfish life-style, it will become harder for you to change and snap out of, the
older you get. (IV:337)

As soon as Im in it, everything changes, and it changes from that potential life-less, soul-less and heartless materialistic
hunt to the meaning of life itself. (IV:357)

In order to ensure definite change, I cant deliver you prematurely. Some things have to change, so Im having to take some
drastic measures in order to ensure that change taking place.
Obviously, seriously erroneous behavior patterns cannot be changed effectively, except over time, and applying long-term
disciplinary measures that really drive the point home, make the lessons sink in, and bring about definite, lasting changes.
Changes happening in life are not something you can ignore. Theyre not letting you continue business as usual. Its
impossible to keep going the same way you always have. They are long-term, heavy-duty changes in direction, and your
path can never be the same after them. In other words, Im really, really serious about bringing forth and evoking lasting
change, not so much in the outward circumstances as inward changes of the heart, in the attitudes and minds of My
people, resulting in a totally different and new modus operandi in My people.
My people have got to change if they want to become the kind of witnesses and examples of My Love for the world that I
want them to be. I cannot just let you continue the same old way you have always gone; not for your own sakes, not for the
worlds sake, and not for Mine.
So, while the loss youre going through may be the most important issue about it all for you at present, its not really for
Me, since I only use it as a means to bring about My purpose and the results I desire, which is a change that will result in
greater fruitfulness. (IV:360)

If life is a school, you also have to be prepared for a series of tests in it, and part of the tests in the School of Life consists
in finding out how well you take change, even drastic change, and how it affects your faith. (IV:367)

If something basic and fundamental it is that things are going to have to change, dont keep going the way you have! Stop!
Turn around!
Turn around, walk in a different direction, stop doing things the way you have and start doing them in a different way!
Im waiting for you to find out things and attitudes you will have to change before youll be ready to enjoy a new blessing
in your life. (IV:379)

Dont be scared of the new, but trust that I am in it, and that its I Who bring those changes into your life, and you may thus
whole-heartedly embrace them and pursue them. (IV:387)

Changes are good for you, since they usually mean improvement, as long as theyre from My hand; and even supposed
calamities can ultimately result in positive changes. (IV:409)

With nobody to blame for your circumstances but yourself, its completely up to you to change something about them!
(IV:435)

67
Isn't that what I have promised and advertised all along - a new life? - Making it clear that a man must be born again, and
that change is essential? - Calling people everywhere to have a turnaround? (IV:467)

The basic formula is sticking close to the One Who doesnt change, while everything around you changes (IV:482)

To change your heart doesnt just happen by leaving things the way they are. (IV:486)

To change you, what better method can you think of than putting you through a situation in which you realize yourself that
you desperately need a change? (IV:493)

Maybe from where I stand I can see that its the better option to have you start a new life instead of just adding new factors
and players to your old
Maybe the new life Ive promised is not so much dependent on outward conditions, such as the place where youre going
to live, as inward changes, brought about by learning how to truly love and cooperate in harmony and respect, in honor
preferring one another, and learning how to live in a fruitful relationship in which I am not neglected, but the prime
Member (IV:504)

Sometimes, in order to bring about change, swift and radical changes have to take place, especially because of human
tendencies to fall back into comfortable ruts as soon as things start to ease up on them again.
Changes are better made today than tomorrow.
Im the Champion of Change, because its one of the most dire needs in this world where stagnation causes things to rot
and foment, while I want and need you, My people, to keep and stay moving and alive. (IV:515)

How you can change, you wonder? Well, first of all, you need to see the need for change, and thats the first step. (IV:532)

With nobody to blame for your circumstances but yourself, its completely up to you to change something about them!
(IV:435)

 What Jesus Had 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)

Thank Me daily for your children, because one day youre going to see like I see, and realize just what a blessing they are.
Pity those poor, duped, selfish people who think theyve got no time to learn to care for another human being, to learn
responsibility for another little soul! (I:27)

Imagine if parents on Earth wouldnt have any cares and worries about having to come up with the provisions for their
families, and on top of it would not be subject to sin and the devils temptation: Their children would be their greatest joy,
and the major theme around which the large part of their activities would revolve. Thats the way your Heavenly Father
and Queen, the Holy Spirit, care for you, watch you, rejoice in you, their children. (I:65)

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings have I ordained strength, that I might still the enemy and 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 and seeming burdens are one of the greatest blessings,
treasures and 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. Have faith that they will become a blessing, that Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of
them... Start appreciating those arrows for what they are. Not mere useless, ugly and dirty sticks that are causing you
nothing but trouble, but arrows, which, when combined with the bow of My weaponry and the skill of the Archers hand,
namely Mine, can go further than you ever have or will...
Its another trick of the Enemy, to have deluded folks into thinking that kids are a burden. Open your eyes and 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 and dont be of a cold, harsh, cruel, unbelieving
heart, just because you have been disappointed!
Pick them up and take them back into your arms, and 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 Ill show you what to do. Ask Me what you can do to bring each one back to Me! (I:84)

Your children are a mirror to you. (I:116)

Children are an heritage of the Lord, and by rejecting this heritage, selfish people are forfeiting their heritage and their part
in Me. Only the selfish dislike children.
Children are a more important factor than many realize. Theyre 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 and better fruit to bear than children, then youre on the Devils 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 and twists and warps their minds and 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! (I:165)

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 cant really be a good missionary or disciple if youre a lousy father or
mother. So go and 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... Its all a test, My love, all a test, and transporting you across some ocean wont make a great missionary out of
you if you cant 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?
(I:173)

Do you see how much like children you are? Always wanting to have the sweetest, give in to the craving... pretty spoiled,
actually. Thats why the person youre having the most trials with is probably the one whos got your very same
weakness. ...You see that spoiled child inside yourself reflected. (I:185)

Who would have thought that that child or that youngster could have turned into a brilliant mind, a shining light and
beacon to many under your influence and tutorship? Who could have suspected that they were wide-open treasure chests,
waiting to be filled with what you had to give them?

69
Im handing out a crown of great glory to those special few who had the vision, who were faithful, who led My little ones
and guided them by the hand, who had an unselfish love to pour their own lives into those young and brittle vessels, often
at the cost of giving up their own dreams and visions and goals they had for themselves. (I:246)

Praying is not only an essential part of love a parent should have for their child, but its actually the most important and
effective thing you can and must do! (I:285)

A baby brings many new burdens in the form of a greater work load. But in My eyes, that babe may be the purpose
youre 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 and richest source of rewards in your life you could have ever
dreamed of. (I:378)

A baby is able to do nothing but trust that his mother will feed him and 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 and trust and faith. Just trust like a baby! (I:433)

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 and 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 and 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:434)

I give you everything so that you give it back to Me. If you receive everything from My hand and thank Me for it and 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 and take, even though you (the toddler) may not see it at first...
(I:488)

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:502)

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 and 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 and 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? (I:527)

That baby may only be a small source of noise and trouble in your life today, eating up your resources today, and making
you wonder what else it could possibly be good for, besides giving you trouble, but a look into the future with the eyes of
the vision that I can give you, of what that baby can become one day, if you'll only rear it with the right kind of attitude, will
give you a completely different outlook. (II:32)

My dealings with you aren't all that different from your dealings with your children. That's another reason why having
children is such a blessing and one of the major purposes in life: there is hardly a better example of My relationship with
you, hardly any better parallel which explains to you better how I like to interact with you, how much I love you, how I wish
for you to learn to obey Me, etc., than having children. (II:52)

How much you get from Me is only limited by your own faith.

70
The rule is simple: ask and it shall be given you. Those are the only conditions. You need to ask. You don't run after your
child all day long and ask, "What is it you'd like now... Do you want this? Do you want that?" The best is, not to spoil them
too much, but let them ask if they want something. You can lead them in a certain direction, as to what the available
options are, but they've got to do the asking themselves... usually. (II:61)

The devil is always after the young, and their battles are often more intense than yours and it takes My kind of sensitivity
to tune in to them, to be aware of what's going on with them; to communicate with them about it and to draw them out of
themselves, as a doctor would with a patient, so that you know what specific Word medicine to give them.
Once you hear them out, show genuine interest and an effort to tune in to them, and concern for them, they'll open up and
will be ready for your Word-based solutions, providing you're applying them to your lives yourselves. They'll only accept
tried and proven advice.
Ask Me to help you tune in to them, help you connect your hearts to theirs, to reveal to you what their particular needs are,
to shine a light into the dark area, that question mark in their hearts and minds that parents and grown-ups seldom have a
clue about.
Once they'll be able to tell that you are genuinely concerned about them, their hearts and souls, and willing to sacrifice
your time for them and to change things for their sake, they will also become more willing to listen to you and accept your
solutions wholeheartedly.
Come to Me regularly regarding the particular needs of your children, before problems occur, and thus prevent them from
happening.
You can change everything today, the way you look at them, their way of seeing you, your whole lives and interaction
together. Being open to change is a key factor; being willing to change your sample. (II:99)

Fewer people recognize the extent to which the devil is invading their own homes, lives and families.
The younger a person is, the more the flesh "rules" them, and they see things with their carnal minds, not like I do. They
think that physical harm is the worst that can befall them or their child, when in My eyes, the spiritual dangers, which draw
them away from Me, are something to be much more concerned and alarmed about than those dangers of physical harm,
which I often use to draw a person closer to Me.
Abraham was willing to trust Me, that I knew better what was the best concerning his son, that My hands were the place he
was going to be best cared for, even if I asked something as absurd of him as to sacrifice him unto Me. Evidently Abraham
had enough faith to believe that even if Isaac would die, it would be better for him than what could have happened if
Abraham had disobeyed Me.
Now, modern parents are very, very far away from that kind of faith. They think they have to do all that is in their power to
protect their children from any physical harm, danger or abuse, and if necessary, even to protect them from Me. They don't
believe that the best place in the universe to place their child is in My hands, they don't have the faith of Job who said,
"though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him," and much less the faith of Abraham, who practically said, "though He ask me to
slay my only son, yet will I trust in Him."
Today's parents' faith is so weak, they scarcely even know that I exist, much less would they consider that I have anything
to do with the rearing of their child. They consider raising their child the duty I gave them, but in their eyes, that duty does
not include Me, or trusting Me for their children. They want to take it all into their own hands, just like they try to take their
own lives and its substance and insurance into their own hands. They place their trust in money, instead of Me. But
consequently, they also make grave mistakes, since they don't consult or seek Me about any of these things. They often
fail and fall flat on their faces and wind up confused, wondering what on earth they might have done wrong.
Some do apply genuine and sincere love, which cannot fail. But often they forget or don't know that to a child, love spells
t.i.m.e., and while they're working half their lives away in order to ensure their family's physical well-being, they neglect the
spiritual. (II:127)

You would like to give your children a treat that they can remember as something not boring, but that's because you want
to appeal to their mind gear of "what can I consume today, so that I can register this day as a success of some kind?" It's
that manipulated mind gear of constantly having to receive, unlearning the ability to give or contribute something and
registering that as a success instead.
So, in order to really do them a favor, you should not adjust to their mind gear and bend to their wishes, but you should
instead seek for opportunities for them to learn from you, which will be useful preparation for the future. If you just bend to
their scheme, you'll just spoil them and render them useless and unable to cope with life later on.
Your kids have to learn to appreciate the little things and that they must give in order to receive, otherwise they're going to
be lost later on, unable to contribute anything valuable to others, only selfishly seeking their own pleasure and
satisfaction.
They've got to do their part in order to feel truly satisfied in the long run, finding pleasure in giving and contributing their
share to the workload, which is much more lasting and important than the fleeting little pleasures of consumption. (II:149)

Doesn't it frustrate you when your child just forgets or ignores your words? Well, it does the same to Me when you do.
(II:236)

If your child is giving you trials because of stubbornness, disobedience or laziness, you should ask yourself whether
there's a chance that I might want to work on those same areas in your life. If they are causing you trials because you feel
rejected or unwanted by them, you must ask yourself why.

Often, children have a completely wrong concept of their father, quite similar to people's false perception of their heavenly
Father. Ask Me to show you what you can do in such a situation to rectify and perhaps correct their view of things a bit.
But the first step is to get them to communicate.
Ask Me what you can do, how to approach them in order to get them to confide to you what's on their hearts about you,
why they seem to dislike you.
If they give you trials because they prefer to spend their time with their friends to the extent that they hardly come to see
you anymore at all, welcome to the way that I feel in relation to many of My disciples!
Often it's because someone else fed them negative information about you, similar to the way the devil tells lies about Me.
Other times it plain and simple selfishness, and they just know that having to face you would only convict them and make
them feel bad about themselves.
There is more truth to the verse that I created you in My own image than meets the eye. In a way, you're all little carbon
copies of Me, just like children often are the "spitting image" of one of their parents...
Sometimes your children feel resentful toward you because they think you neglect them and don't care about them, similar
to the way many people think that I couldn't care less about them or I wouldn't bother with someone as "unimportant,"
which is really one of the standard lies the devil spreads about Me.
Others think badly of you at times, similar to when you're "at war" with Me for allowing "atrocities" to happen to you, when
really, more often than not, it's your own attitude and distance from Me that can be responsible for such times of testing.
Ultimately, fathers are ideal scapegoats. You can blame a lot of things on them that are going wrong, because they didn't
do this or that for you, etc., or they broke this or that promise. That's why one of the best and most effective educational
milestones in life is having kids on your own, because it will ultimately show you that you're not the perfect mom or dad
either, and for once you're able to put yourself in your parents' or even My shoes!
When you come to face it, that's one of the main reasons why kids can often give you trials: it makes you deal with your
own weaknesses, failures, wrong attitudes, selfishnesses and everything that's ugly about yourself that you hadn't even
realized until then.
Having children reveals that you're not any better than your own parents at all, when you thought you were light-years
ahead of them. And that process also moves Me a bit closer to you, because all of a sudden you can begin to see why I'm
doing things the way I am, or why I allow this or that to happen... Things start making sense all of a sudden.
So, those trials about being a parent, though the most painful of all they may be, are worth it! As unimportant, trivial or
mundane as dealing with children may seem to some people, raising kids, and all the lessons that go along with it, is
pretty much the epitome of the meaning of life.
While some parents think they're missing out on life because of their kids, missing out on all the fun that singles or
childless couples seem to be having, if you pay attention to what I'm trying to teach you in life, you'll actually notice that
it's those others, who are missing out on a lot.
Parents are leaders. Leaders are always envied, resisted, rebelled against, rejected, opposed and fought against by some
people some of the time, but that's exactly the kind of adversities that make a character strong. So, if you thought your
kids were robbing some of the value of your life, if they're making you feel worthless, like you're no good and you blew it,
think again: they're actually the very factor that will accelerate your maturation, and increase your usefulness to others as
a counselor, comforter, or person to trust and rely on, more than any other factor.
Kids are worth it.
Each of your children is a universe of lessons and experiences to explore, if you're attentive. They're your most dedicated
students and also your best teachers, so, watch out! Pay attention! Don't miss those valuable lessons they're here to teach
you! (II:238)

I'm teaching you to be a parent with conviction, not to take the (apparently) easier way to let your kids get away with things
you cannot approve of, of letting them have their will against your better knowledge... (II:244)

Listen to the child in you! It says, "Papa's in control!" It doesn't doubt and criticize Papa the way children do when they get
older and become adolescents. It's that childlike loyalty to "Papa" that makes children so precious in My sight, and the
reason I'm so close to them. (II:245)

"Tit for tat" thinking is never any less justifiable than in the case of parents with their children. Your children are My jobs
and tasks I have given you, primarily to love them, in spite of anything they might do, even though it may be difficult at
times. Never withdraw your love from them because of anything they might do or fail to do, or you are going to be the one
who's failing Me (and them).
The same way I forgave you, I also expect you to forgive others, especially your children!
Let it teach you to appreciate that unconditional love of Mine, to not take it for granted, to help you see what a precious gift
it is, having to learn to come up with that same kind of forgiveness yourself for your children.
You cannot just give up on them when they're failing you.
They need you to be there for them anyway, to know that you're not giving up on them, to know that you've got something
stronger, a foundation, a rock to stand on that will cause your love for them not to fail.
They test you sometimes to see whether your love for them is really real, or whether you'll give up on them and dump'em
in your mental trash can once they start veering from the path of your expectations of them.
This is My job, My lesson, My challenge for you.
The harder they are to love, the greater the challenge.
Sometimes your children fail you, because you've failed to love them first! Your responsibility is to love them. And if the
task seems to become overwhelming, I can always supply you with more love from My endless reservoirs!

72
Maybe you didn't invest enough! Maybe you kept investing too much in yourself, your own career, your ambitions, desires,
etc.
And as a result, they don't share your views, your interests, your love for the things you love, because they were what
separated you from them, what distracted you from your responsibility and even your capabilities to love them as you
should have...
It's never too late for love! If you start concentrating and focusing on this goal the way you should, they will be eternally
thankful for it.
Your responsibility is to love them, no matter what; to uphold them in prayer, to not give up on them!
No matter how much you fail or disobey Me, I never give up having hope for you, I never quit having faith in you, I never
stop loving you, and that's what your attitude toward your children should also be.
Look up to Me and learn of Me how to love unconditionally and how to never give up on your children! (II:247)

I have warned you that children would accuse and betray their parents.
When they have made their decision against you and they hate, resist and reject you, then there isn't much more you can
do for them but to commit them into My hand in prayer. They are your children for a purpose. But it doesn't mean that their
ties to you are stronger or more significant than those with your spiritual Family, those who receive Me and are truly your
brethren and children and parents, those who do the will of the Father, which is primarily to believe in Me, and believe in
those that He sends to be His prophets and voices.
Love them even if they oppose you. But once they cross the limit and make it clear that they've obviously chosen the
opposing side and are against you, when it's clear that they've joined the ranks of those who would destroy you in self-
righteous anger kindled by Satan, then you've got to leave them in My hands.
Your responsibility to love them isn't something you're supposed to do without My Help. (II:248)

Kids need training and correction; even if they act as though that's the last thing on Earth they may need or want. Many
grown-ups aren't better than kids in that aspect... (II:313)

One of the greatest needs of human beings, including children, is to feel needed, to feel wanted, to feel as an important
part of their families; not a burden, but a blessing. (II:339)

Back in the days when children were still helping their parents in the fields in order to ensure the entire family's survival,
long before child abuse and child labor were ever an issue, it wouldn't have occurred to children that their parents might
not need their help!
Of course, they needed their help; there was no question and no doubt about it! It just shows how things have been turned
upside down, and how different, how contrary people's mindsets have become to the natural way I ordained for things to
be. Back then, juvenile suicides were virtually unheard of, because there was never a question in their minds whether they
were being needed, wanted or whether there was a purpose for their lives.
Nowadays they think they're "enlightened" and have "progressed" and "evolved" away from those primitive days in which
children were an essential part of their family.
Just as you would find it wonderful if your child would come to you and ask, "Is there anything I can do to help you
today?" and 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 and possibilities in which you could be
of help in order to further My cause.
Just as much as you have to be on the ball with her in order to make sure that she does her share and learns to be a happy
helper, so I have to be on the ball with you. (II:421)

Parents sometimes make the mistake of giving their kids something that they like or want too quickly, but it often spoils
them and the amount of appreciation and gratitude they could have developed otherwise... (II:426)

Children are often touchstones and tests I bring into people's lives, of their levels of tolerance and love of fellowman, as all
relatives are, except that you can't quite easily run away from your children. A lot of people do, eventually, but at least
they're having to deal with that "mirror" of their ugly traits they didn't wish to face, for a few years, and a lot depends on
how they deal with that.
Loving your children unconditionally and without partiality, regardless of whether one is more "successful" than the other,
or more "promising" than the other, and regardless of traits you would consider positive or negative, qualities you may like
or dislike or that may even rub you the wrong way, is an important issue in life.
It's part of learning to love like I do, and as the Father loves. It's something that takes time. (II:477)

If "being a good provider" kept you so busy that you never had any time to show love for your family, then I don't care how
much money you brought home, I would still consider such a life a failure, if caring for your family's physical needs
distracted you from showing your love and affection through your interactions with your family. (II:478)

It would help you to be more patient with yourself and others if you would remember that when it comes down to it, you're
all just children.
You're all just learning, like kids in school. Some day you're going to put aside childish things and become mature, and
you will see eye to eye. Those who leave My School prematurely are the ones who get tired of My teaching, My curriculum,
they play hookies and want to be their own teachers and masters.

73
They didn't believe that I would help them to rise above any inability, any weakness that would hinder them to cope with
the lessons and challenges I put before them. They didn't have the faith that My Love in them could do the humanly
impossible. (II:549)

When children become teens, the devil really attacks them with a lot of doubts, because they want to discover their own
view of things, and don't just want to see things through the glasses they were given by their parents. They want to make
their own picture.
While it's inevitable to grow up, and it's My will for you to become more mature, you should always keep your childlike
faith in Me. The devil will try to put a lot of thoughts into your head, which look "grown up", but in the end can be quite
silly, and really only have the purpose to destroy faith and trust in Me.
Many are doing silly things and are behaving in silly ways. In some ways it's really better and wiser to stay a child.
Always remember the secret place where I want to meet you every day, where you can always remain a child. (II:597)

It's hard to bear the rebellion, the disobedience, the defiance... it makes you want to close up and withdraw your love, your
affection, yourself altogether. But that's where you've got to be strong and endure the contradiction of sinners against you
as I did... (Heb.12:3). Even from your children, as I have to endure from My believers. (III:5)

To expect from kids that they'll choose the better way from scratch just isn't realistic. It doesn't make sense to be shaking
your head at their failures, saying, "they ought to know better."
You either narrow their choices in order to reduce the potential harm they can do to themselves, or you realistically expect
(from 6000 years of experience from history) that they're going to make the wrong choices like everybody else. And while
they make their experiences that teach them to do better next time, you still let them know that you love and accept them
anyway, that you pray for them and that you'll be there for them, should they ever need you.
It's hard to stand by and watch how they're screwing up, how they're making the wrong choices, seem to develop likings
for the wrong kind of things, open themselves up to the wrong spirits. But, hey, I've had to do it with you, and I think it's
only fair if you follow in My footsteps and get a little bit of that experience yourself. That's part of the meaning of life and of
maturing: to experience how God feels. And then to learn how to love and forgive the way God does.
It's alright to let them know that you think they're doing the wrong thing. But you cannot just drop them like a hot potato
and forget all about them and write them off in your heart and mind permanently: "That's it. They put themselves on the
devil's side. I give up on them!"
Those experiences, those choices to go the wrong direction temporarily will bring them back to My arms eventually, just as
your strayings did for you. You must let them go and give them the freedom to make their own choices and experiences,
but you must never stop loving them.
You must let go of them in your mind, of your ideas and expectations of what they should do and become in order not to
disappoint you. But you must not let go of them in your heart when it comes to loving them and always accepting them
and letting them know you're there for them... even if you feel rejected by them.
What should I say? Most of My believers are mad at Me, too, for some reason, because they think I'm not there, that I don't
care, that I always reward all the bad guys and the undeserving with the things My followers want, but that I never give
them... (III:6)

To love them even when they reject you, even when they have strayed from you and turned their backs on you, that is the
art of loving unconditionally, like a true father, whose continuously conveyed message to his children is: "I will always love
you."
You can break the vicious cycle of rejection. Your attitude can be, "I will accept and receive you, even if you reject me. I will
always love you anyway!" (III:14)

Sometimes years pass before your children show interest in you. Sometimes they never find out what they've been
missing out on until they get over to the other side.
It's pretty tough to resist the temptation of resigning to that fate of "they're just not interested..."
But I know that My children do need Me, even if they may not be aware of it.
The art is to arouse their interest. The art is not to withdraw in resignation when you see that they're not interested. The art
is remembering, "You may not be interested right now, but one day you will, or at least you will wish you had been!"
The art is in conveying to them, lovingly, "you may not be very interested right now, but there are certainly advantages to
showing interest."
Resignation never helps. If you withdraw and remove your own interest in them or any signs of your support of them, if
you stop showing them your love or that you're somehow on their side and behind them, it will usually only push them
further away from you, make them feel more unloved and rejected, and it's simply not conducive to what you would
desire... that they will love you and come back to you.
Sometimes you can do no other but let them go their own way, but it's always better if they know that you still love them,
no matter what, just as I love you and them, too, no matter what. (III:21)

It wouldn't occur to anyone that changing a diaper would be a significant act in the light of Eternity or the coming Kingdom
of God, but if you think again, you'll see that the selfless and humble act of caring for another helpless human being is
very much something that prepares you for it. It's all about copying God and learning to be like Him, and changing diapers
is something He very much does in a spiritual way all the time, when you've gotten yourself into a mess up to your neck,
He always pulls you out of it again, cleans you up and gives you a fresh diaper, right?

74
God has changed you and cleaned you from your own dirty righteousness and sanctified you with His - simply by your act
of receiving Me, His love-gift and Universal Power-Cleaner...
So, get a change each day, and make sure you run around clean and fresh, bathed in My true righteousness, and not
clinging to your own, old smelly version. You have to continue disposing yourself of your waste and getting clean before
Me and through Me, flushed by My water of the Word, which I abundantly pour forth for you, as much as you need.
God is like a loving Father and Mother who lovingly and smilingly change their baby's diaper... The Father loves to rid you
of your old waste and make you all new and clean. (III:56)

I hand you some situations for you to hand them back to Me, the way a father rolls a ball toward his child, expecting him to
roll it back. That's the way the game works. After you've rolled it back to Me by committing the problem to prayer, and I've
done what I can to improve the situation, I'll roll it back to you, and have you do a little bit of what you can.
I bring out that hidden potential in you. (III:66)

The differences between your children are the factors of which consist a lot of the challenges and lessons in your life: to
learn to handle each of them individually and take them where they're at. There's no standard procedure that works with all
of them. You know basically, what everybody needs is love. But how do you apply that love with each one, individually?
That is the challenge, and what makes life interesting. (III:80)

Isn't it wonderful, when there's a vacuum, a hunger, a curiosity, a desire to learn and know more coming across from your
children? When there's receptivity, a space to fill instead of fullness, and the notion that they already know and have
arrived? Isn't it great when they know their journey has hardly yet begun and they're open for your guidance and counsel,
and they confide to you what's on their hearts, when they cease to be afraid of you and your opinion, of your judgment,
and they just accept that you love them? (III:93)

Aren't you being stricter and tougher on your own children, too, than on others? The ones whose behavior and attitudes
you care about are your own children. Likewise, I care about you. What interests Me is your attitude. (III:100)

Having to face one's own sins and weaknesses in their children is very effective and purging. (III:109)

Sometimes the greater part of love is the letting go.

You've got to let them go down the path that leads them away from you, when you want them close to you, walking with
you.
This present age is all about God letting His children go and walk their own path, away from Him, in order to bring them
ultimately closer to Him. (III:165)

Their choices will influence you. But the extent to which you are willing to let theirs influence yours will again influence
their future decisions. If you choose to remain loyal to Me most of all, and refuse to compromise and refuse to settle for
any cop-out the devil may try to lure you into, then they will respect that in the end, and it will influence their final decision,
as to what they will dedicate their lives to.
If they see that you'll easily trade your spiritual birthright, heritage and convictions for any little whim of theirs, only in
order to please them, without checking in with Me, just so that you will have the personal satisfaction you gain from having
made your child happy, then they won't consider your convictions worth very much, nor a path that they'd consider
following. (III:254)

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

75
Youre probably not going to be able to build that fence without any protest from them: "But I don't need any protection!
You're not granting me any fun and freedom! You don't trust me!" etc. And so you're much more prone to taking the risk.
"Oh, maybe we'll be lucky!"
It's true that the fence won't be a 100% safeguard and guarantee that they won't fall down the edge after all, and you figure,
"Well, then what? All that work will have been in vain!" Well the difference will be that you will know that you have done
what you could, and you won't have to hold yourself to blame for what happened.
You've got to do more than just hope everything is going to turn out good. Parenting and shepherding is a tough job, and if
you want the kind of results from this job that you would like, you've got to invest a bit more than just some good hopes
and a few prayers. (III:275)

The secret of families in the old days was necessity.

The reason why they clung together through thick and thin, no matter to what degree individual interests may have
differed, was that it was necessary for them, in order to survive.
Kids in those days were not just asked timidly, "Oh, and would you mind helping us with the work out on the field today?
That would be so nice!" - They had to, or else their whole family might not have survived the winter, and they might have
starved.
Necessity was the glue that kept them together, and that's precisely the stuff that's being eliminated from today's families
and from society today. People don't need each other anymore.
You cannot just let a child do whatever he or she wants, and whatever they're craving and feel like doing, no matter how
"noble," how "democratic" and how politically correct it may appear in the eyes of today's society!
You want to appear as "correct" in the eyes of your children in this aspect: "I never forced you to do anything you didn't
want to." But the sad answer one day may well be, "Well, perhaps that's precisely what you should have!" "You should
have stopped me from doing my own silly thing, and you should have been more pervasive in your efforts to get me to do
God's will instead!"
I gave young people all their energy not to be wasting it on selfish endeavors, but to invest it in helping others, those who
they ought to show their gratitude to for having raised them, fed them and brought them through life successfully to this
point. (III:321)

Kids copy the behavior and attitude they see in adults: if their parents only display genuine interest for things connected
with their own little grown-up world, and the matters that they happen to be interested in, and show that they don't really
have a genuine amount of interest in other things, such as "kids' matters," for instance, then it's only natural for children
to adopt that same attitude of "you live in your world and I live in mine."
Often, to their dismay, parents find themselves thus locked out of their children's lives when they reach adolescence, and
they wonder "what happened?"
It takes a lot more time, patience, attention and genuine interest in things that are different and the world of their children,
in order to become good parents, than what most parents come up with.
They behave a lot like adolescent kids themselves, when they are so much into their own world, the world of their own
peers and things that interest them, unable to open their scope to things beyond that.
Parents have to learn how to get onto the level of their kids. Most of the time they're trying to get them up to theirs, and
teach them the things they know, but being a good parent goes both ways: you're not only teaching your child, but you're
learning from him also.
It takes time and trust to tune into such seemingly insignificant matters as a child's world.
You can only learn and find out what your children need, by "stooping" to their level, so to speak, and finding out what
occupies their world. (III:330)

It's natural that kids want to get away with the maximum amount of freedoms and liberties they possibly can. But it is your
job as parents to set the limits and provide the security of borders that say, "Thus far and not further."
By playing big "Mr. Cool and Liberal" you're taking away the security of the reins from them that pull them back, away from
the danger zones. Those danger zones may look harmless to them, intriguing and enticing, but so does many a way that
leads away from Me.
You're there to offer a restraining hand and voice of wisdom that won't just allow them to slip into that dark and
shimmering, false, black light of the Devil that has lured so many into darkness.
You can help them make the right choice by making it extra hard on them to make the wrong choices.
Spare them some of the pain by making it tougher on them to make the wrong choices.
If you make it hard enough for them to make the wrong choices, then they will think twice about making one when they're
older.
Nowadays parents not only make it too easy for their children to make wrong choices, but they will often even encourage
them to make them, because their own lives have been a path of wrong choices.
Have the guts to be different.
Am I granting you everything you might possibly want? No. I'm giving you all you need, but not all you want, including not
all the liberties you want, because I know it wouldn't be good for you.
I'm a wise parent. I know better what's good for you than you do. A wise parent knows better what's good for their child
than he does, whether he might agree with them or not. That's not only your right, but also your duty as parents.
The Devils secret of success is his false, sugar-candy coated version of "love," love that knows no restraints, and permits
anything, and lets them run right into their own ruin. Sometimes, love consists of the ability to say the word "no."

76
Love isn't always saying "yes" whenever your child wants something. Love is saying "no" when they want something
that's going to be bad, or even only "2nd best" for them compared to the eternal rewards they're forgoing by not choosing
the very best.
Allowing them to make the wrong choices could not only be detrimental to them, but to all of you. (III:331)

Laziness is one of the greatest problem factors with youth today, and one key factor in why "women and children shall rule
over them" (Is.3:12): Children rule because mothers cater to them, and are their executives to make sure that whatever they
want is being "pushed through" before the head of the household. (III:347)

Things turn out differently than you may have expected, including your children.
If life, including your children, isnt exactly the way youd want it to be, remember that things might not necessarily be all
that much better for you, your character, and your ultimate outcome, if they were different, and that I know best what Im
handing you.
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 thats precisely why parents get annoyed by their childrens undesirable traits: theyre a reflection of their own, and
their pride usually makes it pretty hard for them to deal with that. Maybe its just My way of saying, See? Thats what
youre doing to Me! (III:436)

Your children are not only your most attentive students, but also your best teachers.
Through the fact that God repented Himself of the evil He had thought toward His children you read about in the Old
Testament, you can see that even God as perfect as He is actually learns through His children.
There is an actual relationship going on, and relationship always has an impact on both parties. (III:443)

If I have granted you the liberty to go out and make your own experiences to teach you where the world is at, then you
must grant that liberty to your children as well. Theres no way around it. You cant just expect them to be smarter than you
were.
If anything, theyve got it harder than you did, because the devil has come up with an entire armada of new weaponry
designed to distract and lure them away from Me.
On the other hand, you can be confident that if I have brought you safely through all that you went through, I will also be
with them.
Let them be who they are, and let them find out by allowing them to walk the road they choose! (III:459)

Its not easy being a parent and watching your child run off to your enemys camp.
Youre shifting from the position of the prodigal son to that of the father a whole different range of experiences.
When youre young, the role of father isnt really that intriguing, that interesting for you, its the most boring role in the
story. But as you grow older and the positions are reversed, and you move from the role of the prodigal son or the older
brother, for that matter to that of being a father yourself, you start seeing things with different eyes. (III:474)

Your position has moved from that of being one of Gods prodigal sons to having become the father of prodigal sons and
daughters yourself, and in the case of some of your younger brothers and sisters who are yet more concerned about the
affairs of this world, you have taken on the position of the older brother.
Whats important is that you remember that youve been a prodigal son yourself, and that you can sympathize with the
aspirations and dreams of your own prodigal sons and daughters and brothers and sisters, and dont become self-
righteous toward them, but as forgiving and welcoming them back with open arms as I have been to you. (III:477)

A teenager is an ideal instrument to let an adult know just how clueless and helpless he really is, for all he may think he
knows.
Heres a situation you just cant deal with in your own wit, your own effort to put two and two together, its hopeless, and
your only hopes in Me. Especially in this day and age when the enemy is letting loose a legion of toys and temptations to
lure them away from Me. (III:492)

God is Father of not merely one or two or three prodigal sons and daughters, but of literal millions and millions. (III:495)

I care for you whether youre good or bad, just like you keep feeding your child regardless of whether hes good or bad
Its just some thing parents do: care for their off-spring, regardless. But whether were pleased with our off-spring is
another question. We may love them unconditionally, but were not always necessarily happy about what they do and the
way they act and behave (III:566)

Millions of fathers are so preoccupied with their careers and accomplishments, that they neglect spending time with the
ones they claim theyre doing it all for. They invest their energies and time in being good providers, but neglect the very
ones they are providing for
The price of being a great accomplisher is often that of a father whose children say, He was never there for me. The
price of whatever you accomplished was your absence from their lives. (III:576)

View that child not as your child, but say, as a loan from Me: Gods child that Hes given into your jurisdiction for some
time to see what kind of a job you would do taking care of her and training her in His nurture and admonition.
77
Maybe the great mistake many make from the beginning is viewing anything or anybody as theirs in the first place.
As My Word says, What have you that you have not received? And if people would apply that to the people theyre living
with as well, maybe they would treat them with a little more respect, too. (III:583)

Sometimes all young sensitive people need and want is to be loved and belong somewhere.
If they dont really feel that their home and family is where they belong, then of course theyll look someplace else
among their peers and friends, to find that feeling of belonging and kinship.
The pain of having to watch them go the other way and forsake you as Paul put it, having loved this present world, is
an experience that I want you to go through as a sample of how I feel many times.
Its part of obtaining a greater understanding of My mind, the mind of God, and learning to not only see things through My
eyes, but also experiencing them with the Fathers heart. I dont only want you to learn to see and think as I do, but also to
feel and to love as I do, and the only way to achieve that is via the path of suffering and pain that you experience through
these conflicts.
To be forsaken by your own for the sake of the world is a very real experience for Me and the Father to deal with, and We
would like to allow as many as possible to participate and partake in this pain to give them a greater understanding of Our
point of view, and how we feel about it.
It will also teach you how to love like We do: not just giving up on someone when you see that they are turning their backs
on you, but to continue loving them unconditionally in spite of their choices and preferences for the world, even if its very
painful.
You may feel tempted to close your heart up to them and lock them out, but you know you just cant do that. You simply
have to bear the pain And, like the father of the prodigal son, hope and pray that some day they will return to you, and
receive them back with wide open arms, as I have always done with you. (IV:17)

If children have an example of parents who constantly try to dodge the limitations Im putting before them, then its no
wonder theyll wind up trying to do the same whenever they can (IV:35)

Sometimes, when some of your prodigal sons and daughters are on one of their trips into the world, you as parents can
find yourselves tempted to become somewhat prodigal sons and daughters on your own again, too. Be it out of
resignation, or because you feel so strongly attached to them that you want to show you sympathize with them and their
ways, or in defiance of the self-righteousness and lack of love of some older brother
Its a test of your convictions, and whether you will stay true to them and keep Me in the first place in your lives and refuse
to compromise, as well as of your love, to see whether youre going to treat them in a self-righteous manner and become
like the older brother toward them
Some tests serve multiple purposes.
Its also a test of your unity, and to show whether youre going to stay united as parents over the issue, or allow the Enemy
to use this to sow division between you.
I want you to maintain a loving attitude toward them, even if you can see exactly the foolishness and futility of the path
theyve chosen. I want you not to judge them, even as I have not judged you.
Experience will be their best teacher, even as it has been yours. (IV:43)

Youre shaking your head at some of the things they do and wonder, How could they be so stupid? But one way theyre
going to learn better is by making the painful experience of where its not at.
Youre worrying, But what if those experiences arent going to be painful for them, but actually pleasant? Well, thats
where youre going to have to pray that theyre going to make the right kind of experiences, and that I protect them from
the deceptions of the enemy.
Right now he has that power over them, which is the lure of the unknown. Once they get to know what hes trying to entice
them with, just as Adam and Eve got to know the taste of that forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, it will have
less power over them, and just as Adam and Eve werent closer to Me before, but after, so will they.
Im not saying that I would have recommended for Adam and Eve to eat of the tree. Its just that basically, its inevitable,
and people are bent on making their own experiences and they figure, the sooner, the better.
After all, nobody wants to miss out on anything life has to offer.
Just as it was part of My love for Adam and Eve and all of mankind to allow them to screw up, so its got to be part of
yours.
The efforts to protect your children from evil arent met very favorably at a certain age, and they perceive it as a lack of
love, if you would interfere with what they consider their road to happiness. (IV:62)

The sins of the fathers are often manifested in their offspring in order for them to confront them in flesh and blood and
deal with them face to face, the way I have to deal with you. (IV:94)

Every day is a battle royal between My will for you, that which I want for you, and your own will, similar to the way you
notice that your will for your children doesnt always coincide with their own will and what they want to do. What they want
to do usually varies from what you would like them to do, and its a trial and a challenge for you to try to get them to see
that their time might be better spent in a different way than the activity they choose. (IV:110)

Just as with your children, whom you have to let go and follow their own inclinations up until a certain point, even if its in
a direction that you know is less than the best option, I also have to let you go to find out for yourself where its at, or
where its not at. (IV:112)
78
Youre wondering sometimes whether your children wouldnt think more highly of you if you would earn more money, but
believe Me that it isnt the amount of money you earn thats going to guarantee serious respect from your kids or a good
relationship with them! (IV:161)

Some of the important lessons in life include coming face to face with some of its ugliness, even if manifested in the
character of your own children.
You learn quickly that way that, as Paul said of himself, I know that in me; that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing.
Once you realize how rotten your kids can turn out, you pretty soon lose any illusions about everything springing forth
from your loins or womb being all that good. (IV:162)

The youth of today are the stars of the show, the rulers of modern culture, to which the real rulers behind the scenes are
trying to get the nations to bend.
They strongly resent cultures in which the parents, and especially the fathers still have the say in the house, and theyre
looking down on them as backwards.
Since the 20th century and the development of the media, along with the public school system, the devil has found a way
to finally enter just about every household and subvert the weakest link in the chain, and through them obtain control over
the rest of the family.
He undermines the role of the father while at the same time boosting the egos of the children, and stirring up a sense of
responsibility and loyalty in the mothers toward the child, rather than her husband. (IV:179)

Give Me a chance to prove to you that I can be the best weapon, Guardian, Protector and Caretaker of your child you could
ever wish for! (IV:180)

Its not easy to stand accused and tried, permanently judged and criticized by your own off-spring, and a lot of My
followers and believers actually do the same and hold grudges against Me. (IV:465)

In training a child, greater and stricter rules are necessary in younger years than when they grow older, more reliable and
responsible. (IV:484)

Every adolescent thinks that they would be doing a better job at being a parent than their own parents did, just as most
people are at least sometimes inclined to think that theyd be doing a better job at playing God than I am, but its
experience the experience of actually having children of their own that teaches them that it may not be as easy as they
thought to raise children. (IV:528)

Raising children and making disciples are two different things. You must love and support and nourish your kids even if
they never choose to be disciples, and trust that I will bring in the disciples by some other means and from some other
place.
They must hear the call for themselves; you cannot implant it in them, or take for granted that theyll hear the same call
you did
The devil has developed crafty means of luring the young away from the values of their parents Too many temptations to
withstand, and a development of things at a pace too fast that they could accept their parents wisdom and skill, when they
see it failing to cope or compete with all the world can do Too many shiny toys determining what is hip and what is
not (2011:10)

When Ive given you a child to raise or take care of, then its a job I want you to pursue as wholeheartedly as any other job I
would want you to do for Me, and wholeheartedly is really the only way you ever can do any job for Me. If its done half-
heartedly, its about the same as a job not done at all
If you want great kids, youve got to be a great parent first of all. (2011:28)

How about acquiring some new skills and some new, fresh, lessons on how to deal with young people and children? Its
not like youre never going to need it (2011:85)

If Im using a child to break and remold you and accomplish that which is important to Me, namely bring about the
necessary changes in you; does that surprise you?
Just as I say, He that touches you, touches the apple of My eye, people are very sensitive when it comes to their kids. If
theyre already sensitive to correction themselves, you can assume that theyre not going to respond too favorably to their
kids being corrected by someone else, and instead of welcoming the often needed help, they actually resent it. (2011:104)

Family is what comes closest to typifying My relationship with both the Father and mankind, along with the relationship
the Father wants to have with mankind, and its a precious and wonderful thing. On the other hand, for that same reason,
the Enemy naturally tries to enter in there, usurp and defile the original purpose and state of family the way it was
intended, and youve seen the result of that mess yourself, repeatedly.
The problem occurs, when people put this thing that is supposed to resemble Gods relationship with man, before that
relationship itself.
Theres also a big loophole for pride in the matter, since apart from the works of his own hands there is hardly a thing
man prides himself in as much as his own offspring.
79
Just as I say, He that touches you, touches the apple of My eye, people are very sensitive when it comes to their kids. If
theyre already sensitive to correction themselves, you can assume that theyre not going to respond too favorably to their
kids being corrected by someone else, and instead of welcoming the often needed help, they actually resent it. (2011:106)

Its good for you to develop a heart for those little ones, and its a good sign that you can be touched by them. (2011:112)

Most people cant believe that their own kind are basically wicked when it all comes down to it; but they especially refuse
to believe that about their own kids. Children, they think, are the epitome of innocence, and they dont believe the likes of
King David who wrote that he was born and raised in sin or, if they do, they figure, maybe he was, but no, not their child.
Most people are even ready to accept that they themselves arent basically good people. But for some reason they
vehemently refuse to accept the fact that their children should in any way be subject to sin, and accordingly fail to deal
with it and reap the results.
The problem is that those little people cant be held to blame because theyve never been taught any different, never really
been shown the difference between right and wrong, mostly due to the erroneous concept of their parents that they simply
cant do no wrong
Parents around the world have been failing to teach their kids the difference between right and wrong by failing to apply
discipline where it would be needed in order to drive home that point. All because the Devil has duped the masses into
thinking that child discipline is something to be deemed politically incorrect. (2011:118)

Its what a parent must instill in their child when they are teaching them to swim or to walk or to ride a bike. One of the
principal messages youll want to convey is, You can do it!
Who knows how far that little bit of encouragement will go in their lives if you actually help them to overcome their fear,
shyness and attitude and feelings of incapability. Teach them that they can do it, just as Im telling you that you can.
Theres no reason to be scared, not even of the one thing people are scared of the most: failure. Believe that you can do it,
and you will. (2011:128)

Just as your daughter doesnt always seem to trust that you her parents know whats better for her, but stubbornly
insists on having things her own way and according to her own strong will, its the normal human tendency to have your
own will strive or at least conflict with Mine.
Thats the kind of patience one has got to have as a parent. In your case, youre both in the situation of a parent and the
shoes of a child, with Me as the Parent. (2011:145)

Like a child who can prove that he can do it on his own, its only natural for humans to want to declare their
independence, wanting to be self-sufficient, and I dont mind that to a certain extent.
Its just that problems are bound to occur when they stubbornly insist on keeping doing things the wrong way.
If you can be in sync with Me, and realize what a blessing that state can be, to be in sync with the mind of the Creator, it
will also be easier for those youre responsible for, to put their minds in sync with yours.
Youll have less trouble with your wife, your children, your students, your co-workers and friends, and maybe youll realize
some day soon that your childrens failure to respect you as you think they should, stemmed from that very problem, that
your mind wasnt always in sync with Mine. (2012:12)

Your present challenges are the hardest and toughest ones youve ever had to face Is that still so surprising? I think Ive
made it abundantly clear that thats the way to grow and make progress. So, why fight it? Its just the way little children
resent the process of growing up, of keeping the rules, of learning that you cant always have things your way (2012:28)

Its a natural fear that children have of their parents or a teacher: asking too much of them, something that is too hard or
too painful for them, something they think they know they cant do.
But think how much more pleased you are when your child or a student takes that step of faith, encouraged by your
prompts, and simply gives it a try and does the thing you challenge them to. (2012:37)

Moody people let lifes circumstances toss them and their emotions around, and theyre totally controlled and manipulated
by them, so that its always a matter of luck as to whether youre dealing with a cheerful, a half-way normal, or a dreadfully
grumpy person.
They dont exert control over their lives themselves, nor do they allow Me to. They grant the power to their circumstances,
and thus, the Enemy can use them as he will
Children especially babies and toddlers are the best example for that: When somethings wrong with their
circumstances, theyre hungry or uncomfortable, they cry. When everythings fine, they dont.
Eventually the baby learns that Moms in control and is always going to pull him out of whatever unpleasant circumstance,
so he cries less and less
The real tragedy in life is when an adult never gets to that point and keeps on and on complaining, no matter how obvious
a waste of time and energy that is. (2012:44)

Just as it happens with young people and children throughout the world with their parents: theyre often simply not
interested in anything thats good and wholesome for them, so the children of men often despise the gifts that would truly
be good for them, and its hard to arouse an appetite in them for those things.
The other things are always so much more tempting, entertaining and appear to promise greater satisfaction. Thats why it
usually takes disappointment with those things before anyone voluntarily turns toward a more virtuous path.
80
You cant force anyone into happiness. You cant convince them by force to accept the path which you, as a parent, would
know to be the one that truly leads to happiness and fulfillment, as opposed to all the fake attractions that promise to be
shortcuts and so much more pleasant roads to take
Thats why life is really very much like a child-parent relationship, which is one reason why having children of your own is
one of the surest ways for you to learn some of the lessons this adventure and relationship offers.
(2012:57)

Its no wonder I liked to hang around children. Theyre largely more enjoyable than adults, if youre free and uninhibited
yourself.
Kids at a low age dont have hidden agendas. They dont play the game the way grownups do, so if youre not a fan of that
faade that comes with adulthood, youll enjoy the company of those tots.
Theyre less complicated and dont live by the rule youve observed most adults seem to apply in their lives: Why make it
easy, when you can make it complicated? (2012:153)

Try to be the sort of husband to your wife that makes her life worth living, and that kind of a father to your children.
(2012:183)

So its exhausting, having to care for energetic little ones. But consider it an investment. - Investing time in other little
lives, instead of just the accumulation of material wealth. That wealth may mean more and have greater significance by the
terms of this world, but thats just the thing if you live by My criteria: Theyre quite different, and youll have to trust Me for
greater rewards than those temporal ones
Most people invest in the acquisition of things, whereas spending your time with your kids sometimes seems like a waste
of energy. But that energy invested in spending time with them will also bear fruit.
You will be rewarded for the pouring out of your lives into others, even if it may not all be in visible, tangible rewards in
this world.
Kids are a job you must stick to, even if there are temporal results or side effects youre less than pleased with. Take it
as an example of the sort of things I have to put up with from you (2013:19)

The difference between you and other families with difficult kids is that they worship them, and catering to their offspring
feeds their egos in its own way. Its the extended arm of their own, unfulfilled egos. And many of them dont even deal with
the problems themselves, but let grandma or some nanny do the dirty work, who again are driven by that sense of duty
that gives them an excuse for their existence: helping to preserve the bloodline.
Its like I said, as in the days of Noah: It was all about eating, drinking and getting a family started The preservation of
ones own name and bloodline, no matter whether good or bad, no matter whether those lives are lived for any higher
purpose. Its just preservation of self, thats all, and thats why the root of the problem with this society boils down to
selfishness, even if it may be disguised at times as a life selflessly devoted to their own offspring. Its the kind of love they
know: love for their own. (2013:26)

Just as youre trying to teach your children patience, and to get over their momentary having to do without Mommy or
whatever it is they just happen to want so bad right now, and youre wondering, When will they ever learn?, so it is with
Me and you
And just as you cant reward your childrens being a pain, instead of making the choice to take life on cheerfully, I also
have to let you reap the repercussions and results of your negative attitude, which is really due to a lack of gratefulness.
(2013:86)

An important lesson Im teaching some parents: That earning money is not the most important job in life, but doing your
jobs as parents is!
There are some more important things for parents, especially believers, than spending their energies entirely at the making
of money
Your kids and what you do to them and manage with them is more important to Me, to God, Heaven and Eternity, than how
much money youll be making And that would probably mean, you should spend more time on that priority, and more
effort and energy on it! (2014:34)

Being a good father and husband doesnt just happen by thinking exclusively about your own fun and keeping it up, but
especially by entering the way of helping the others to have more fun and joy in life.
Learning how to deal with kids that are not too easy to handle because of their behavior is a little bit what the Father of
Heaven has to go through a lot; and so learning to deal with this is learning and finding out what the Father of Heaven
still has a lot to deal with, too.
Thats why a lot of people dont believe in having kids anymore these days in many countries: They dont believe in God
much, if any at all, and so cant figure out what the mess with having kids is supposed to be all about.
It sort of shows that it takes a lot of positive faith to have kids, which most or many younger people - especially these days
- dont have (2014:51)

Itll be easier much easier for your children to follow Me when they grow up if they see and experience you doing it,
instead of just being in the same rut as everybody else in the world of earning and making money. (2014:154)

81
A family thats different and a good testimony can be a better and greater witness than a single person. The unity between
you and everything that you can make work and get to last as a family is something to lean forward to and focus on, more
than success at a job!
It matters what kind of folks you wind up to be and how you manage to live together. More than what you manage by
yourself! (2014:182)

If youve been giving the Father of Heaven a hard time, dont be too shocked or surprised if Hes allowing your kids to give
you a hard time, too!
What He knows you need, Hell let you have, even if it may not always be just what you want. You know that just giving
children what they want, sort of spoils them, and He wouldnt wanna do that. Especially not when some of the easier times
Hes given you have already done some damage and seem to have spoiled you, and its time for a lesson to prevent any of
that stuff to happen furthermore. (2015:16)

The fact that your kids are a bit rougher these days than youd been used to is to teach you a bit about how tough it can be
for fathers and parents, and some things even make our almighty Father sad, and it might be a feeling and trial Hed like
you to become familiar with, just to give you an impression of what He sometimes must go through, and what kind of pains
a child of God can bring to their Father
Theres a reason why children ought to behave in a certain way, as you can definitely learn right now. And maybe some of
the things the children make you wish and feel like are the same or quite similar to the way youre making your heavenly
Father feel like, and maybe thatll help you change your general act and behavior, and make it better.
If your kids are giving you sorrows, maybe itll help you realize what it can be like, the way you at times make your
heavenly Father feel. Just because Hes almighty and all-powerful doesnt mean He doesnt ever feel sorrow or sadness
about some of the sad things committed to Him by His children and creatures. (2015:17)

A family to take care of and help to care for is something selfless; and you could pour as much power and effort into it as
you can, instead of putting your own well-being and enjoyment in the first place.
Turn things around, become a less selfish person, and thus with the ability to look better forward to the Hereafter My
Place, where selfishness in the past life isnt that greatly rewarded. (2015:86)

Sometimes you just need to learn how to put up with the behavior of kids, the way the Father needs to deal with the
behavior of His And since Hes Love, there might be some things you ought to learn from Him about how to put up with
kids, and love them anyway, even if theyre not perfect. (2015:105)

Try to come up with as much love for your kids as possible, and try to handle their weaknesses as well as you can; so that
theyll remain on My and your side when the really tough times come, and wont wind up turning against you and those
who live for Me!
A lot depends on the love youre capable of showing them these days, for the time is coming when youll wish theyll stay
faithful to and grateful for that love! (2015:112)

Surrounded by family members who cant really focus on whats to come yet, because theyre so obsessed by whats
going on around them, may be tough, but maybe another lesson for you, as to what it must have been like for Us while the
world youre in played a major role for you.
Well, another major lesson of life: to learn from the kids what you put the Father in Heaven through, and relate to it a bit.
Kids these days try to boss their parents around, instead of obeying them. Eventually, everyone will realize that the latter
would have definitely been the better option. (2015:116)

With your kids seeking fun nearly all the time, you can get a glimpse of what the Father has been through with you and
many of His other children who kept making fun the most important thing for them! (2015:154)

When your kids arent behaving perfectly, remember, you arent, either, and yet, your heavenly Father has been putting up
with you! So, let it teach you a lesson of mercy and forgiveness, and put up with your kids behavior as well! (2015:165)

It must be kind of tough to feel like being tortured by your own kids behavior, but maybe thisll help you understand or
relate to our heavenly Father a little bit, and how He must feel almost tortured by His creations and kids on earth, who
always prefer doing their own things, instead of anything that He would want them to.
So, to be a father having kids who behave in manners very unlike anything you could bear with, welcome to a bit of what
your heavenly Father has to go through, accept and tolerate! Maybe it also helps you to understand why the wrath of God
is ultimately going to have to come down on His creation in judgment. As merciful as He is, there comes a point when its
just being revealed that judgment is ultimately necessary, just as discipline with children ought to be even for them to
learn better behavior thats going to make them happier and more content children. - But letting the enemy blow all that
away lets wait and see the final end result of it. (2015:169)

Maybe the Father wants to teach you a lesson for many! That, if your kids can make it tough on you, Gods children should
do their best not to be rough and ugly with their spiritual Father and Creator
Maybe one reason why He allows your kids to be so nasty to you in parts is because youre reaping what youve sown?
(2015:192)

82
Having to put up with badly behaving kids gives you a taste of what the Father has to deal with.
You say, But Hes almighty! Im not! I have a harder time dealing with it! Well, youre not the only one who has to go
through them, and eventually, what theyll have to go through will probably be tougher.
Maybe its having to go through a tougher process together what will establish a lasting family! (2015:227)

Its not all about what you want and are craving for! And with kids around you who are even more on that wavelength
well, if may definitely teach you the reason why! As well as put you a bit in the Fathers shoes to see what its like to have
kids largely concerned about their own cravings and desires. And just as you know they have to learn better, youre
getting the point you might as well, too.
So, theres a reason why youre having to go through tough things - Mainly to bless you with a more positive and
unselfish attitude. Once you learn that, itll also be much easier to teach your kids. (2015:233)

Kids behavior is important for parents moods, even if some mothers seem able to put up with anything their children do.
But then, certain reactions of the fathers are more effective in teaching their offspring good and proper behavior.
So, its important to behave properly, especially when you have kids who might otherwise learn wrong behavior patterns
from you!
Dont let your kids behavior give you an excuse to behave unruly! Even though the enemy has managed to blot out
discipline from the face of the earth, it doesnt mean that the Father has neglected His. (2015:246)

If youre not happy with the way your kids are acting, let it be a reminder of the fact that your behavior might need some
improvement as a child of the Father, too! (2016:16)

Having to find out how tough it can get, having to raise and deal with spoiled kids, drives home the point of the necessity
of some chastening and discipline, without which life can be pretty rough and tough for parents (2016:19)

If youve got faults and flaws, they and their recognition should help you to put up with those of others more easily and be
more forgiving, especially when it comes to those of your own children!
After all, youve still got some of your own that We have to put up with. So, whats supposed to be unfair about having to
put up with imperfections of your own kids?
Learning a bit of tolerance and acceptance of especially childrens faults is part of learning love.
After all, isnt forgiveness one of those important parts of it? So, maybe thats what you should learn right now:
forgiveness and putting up with others especially your childrens faults. Maybe to teach you a bit or give you a little
view of what the Father has to put up with you! And in this case, its not something you inherited from Him! (2016:26)

One thing kids need most is a positive example! (2016:40)

Learning to love especially your children in spite of their mistakes, faults and undesirable behavior is one of those
things Weve got to go through as the Creators of it all, as well, and maybe just a taste of what kind of pain We, and
especially the Father has to go through and deal with.
Since youre learning the consequences of spoiling kids, dont allow yourself to be spoiled, either! Especially once you
realize whos behind it! (2016:44)

When you have little ones to take care of that are still growing in the flesh, it does distract especially the mother from
that vision to put the spirit above the flesh But thats just another part why it takes time and requires patience to make it
through life according to My will and the Fathers. It just takes time to learn certain lessons that life has to teach you.
(2016:97)

To realize how tough it can be to have kids addicted to having fun should make you realize what it makes the Father feel
like. (2016:104)

If the kids could be better, just remember: so could you! (2016:106)

What happens between you and your kids is often symbolic of what happens between you and your heavenly Parents.
(2016:108)

Having given you the fun youve had when you were younger should also make it easier for you to let your kids have the
fun they can while they can just as We let you have it while you could!
Being concerned about your familys welfare, more than your own, thats what a fathers attitude should be like. (2016:112)

Having to learn to take care of little ones down there, isnt that one of the main tasks in life?
So, doing your best at that job seems like one of your major tasks and purposes down there. (16:139)

If your kids arent behaving perfectly, let it be a glimpse of what the Father has to cope with concerning your behavior!
(16:140)

Once you have kids, the job is caring for them, and helping them to become the right kind of person, which is illustrated
quite effectively in the difference between Cain and Abel.
Parents should do the best they can to help their kids make the right choices. (16:172)
83
Its natural, when you have kids, to give them as happy and enjoyable times as you can, but even they will have to learn
and find out the truth about whats going on and whos running the world and getting it ready for his ultimate and final
rulership over it.
You know that even bare survival will require many miracles through whats coming, and thats why they have to learn, too,
to get in tune with Me, and not just gear their moods and ways according to the circumstances around them. But if you
havent even managed to learn that lesson yet to the degree where I could say, Youve made it, how much less can you
expect it of them? (16:184)

Learn how to deal with the chaos your kids are creating around you without getting upset about it and turning into a
bigger chaos, and learn how to take it, whatever you see and notice going on around you that youd describe and identify
as chaos when for them it might be quite normal.
What makes it tougher for your wife to deal with your behavior is that youre supposed to be older and wiser than the
kids So, shes expecting you to behave like that. Makes sense doesnt it? (16:186)

Going through hell on Earth is just something youre going to have to get used to. And if its largely caused by your own
children well, get a taste of the sorrow the Father has to go through. (16:202)

See the advantage of children, and why I said, Become as little children? They dont worry as much. (2016:207)

When your own offspring makes conditions tougher for you, remember youre not the first one, and sometimes one has to
deal with the fact that decent helpers must come from elsewhere than ones own flesh and blood and family! (17:22)

What negative moods can do to those around is something your kids are teaching you, and it should cause you to fight for
a positive one, instead of letting it affect you!
With kids whining around for no visible reason, it might show you how it makes Us feel when youre in a negative and
unthankful mode, not appreciating our blessings, supply and protection. (17:26)

If your kids seem to like the company of someone youre not so fond of well, just put yourself in the Fathers shoes, and
what level of tolerance and love it must take to put up with His children feeling attracted to folks there might be some
doubts about (17:113)

With the times getting darker and closer toward the end, and the enemy, the introducer of sin about to take on his ultimate
power, the level of sin is also rising to unprecedented levels So, dont be too shocked by the fact that kids are becoming
harder and tougher to raise than decades ago! (17:120)

The closest changes, straight ahead of you, are of the enemy, and you can tell that those will be the greatest challenge of
history to overcome.
He also brought in some changes to defy My Word things I did, said and showed, like through My Love for children.
Through his influences on them via the media, even you are having a hard time with them, and with the demonic power
and influences he has over them via media like TV and the Internet, you can see his effort to make Me look off the track
as far as My Love and attitude toward children goes.
To love children the way I did becomes an ultimate challenge in this day and age during which the enemy drags them onto
his level and wavelength through the media. (17:145)

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

Choices, Decisions & Consequences

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life. Deuteronomy 30:19

If there's a choice of things to do, choose to do that first which gives you the least pleasure, not that which gives you the
most! (I:77)

Many are called, but few choose to learn from the lessons and experiences I bring into their lives. (I:96)

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. (I:143)

You have to continue to make the right choices everyday. (I:170)

In order to make the right choices and make the best out of everyday, youre going to have to remind yourself each day
anew of that you belong to Me. (I:176)

Some promises are conditional, and their fulfillment depends on your individual choices. Praise Me whenever one of you
has made the right choices toward victory and deliverance, for a lot of work in the spirit was necessary in order to bring
that victory about. (I:209)

There are times when it seems perfectly legitimate, reasonable and alright to quit; the only reasonable thing left to do. But
those are often the times when the true heroes are born, those who say, In spite of all this, Lord, I decide and choose to
keep going for You! (I:255)

Only by constantly choosing Me above all other options will you become one of the chosen. (I:306)

I put before you the ways of life and of death to choose this day, and according to your faith be it unto you! (I:315)

If youre going to make the choice for Me, then its going to have to be all-out. You cant ride 2 horses at the same time! You
cannot serve God and Mammon... (I:324)

Nobodys forcing you to believe or obey My Words, but your happiness depends on it... Will you choose to be happy, or
miserable? (I:340)

Your job is simply to present the message. They have to make the choice whether theyll receive it or not. (I:343)

Choose what youre going to believe: your own truth, or Mine... (I:354)

You either sow good seeds or weed seeds. There is no in-between.

Either you promote Me and My message, or the enemys.
Whatever doesnt promote Me and My truth, must be promoting something else. (I:358)

Choices and consequences! You chose to say the wrong things and act the wrong way, to let the wrong spirit take over
and rule your life and being temporarily, and now youre reaping the consequences. If you think thats drastic, look at the
much more drastic results of Adam and Eves choice to listen to the devil in the Garden and eat of the forbidden fruit: all
mankind is still paying the consequences for that after 6000 years! (I:381)

Once you make the decision that youre going to obey come what may, I do the rest for you and help you to put it into
practice and into action. (I:397)

Everyone has the choice whether they're going to let the things I have given them, their boy- or girl-friend, their children,
wife or husband, become their new god, the thing they live for, the thing that all their actions revolve around, or whether
they're going to give it back to Me every day, lay it on the altar and put Me first. (I:399)

I have set before you the path of life, and the path of your own will, that which seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof is destruction. Choosing Me and My way and My will means choosing life. Trying to save your own life and trying to
ensure your own wants will mean the loss of true life. (I:415)

Make sure that you're among My chosen ones by choosing My path above all others everyday! (I:420)

85
The thing to do is to focus on Me and keep your focus on what's up ahead, not the easier, more comfortable option, IF you
want to follow in the footsteps of Abraham, the father of faith, and be part of his heritage, a bearer of the crown reserved
for those who choose My highest will and option. (I:431)

Let each man and woman choose whom they're going to serve! If it be mammon, then let them serve him, but let them also
be fully aware of the consequences, the price they'll have to pay: the price of slavery, the price of absence of true
happiness which only comes by seeking spiritual fulfillment, (for man is a spirit and can only be fully satisfied by spirit),
the price of the absence of My blessings and protection and of the peace that obedience to Me brings. (I:442)

The choice is, "Do you feed your body and starve your soul"? Especially young people have to make that choice and
answer this question.
Is their body, their mere physical existence and its pleasures really that important to them that they're willing to completely
neglect their souls and 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?
I want people who choose My way voluntarily, and because they think it's the best. Everybody wants a life-boat when the
ship is already sinking. But who wants to come away from the superficial partying while the ship is still cruising? Who
wants to believe those who say that the ship is going down while everybody's still having so much fun? I want people to
serve Me because they love Me and choose to serve Me above the other, more shiny options, not only out of the fear of My
impending judgments. (I:445)

I am the Prince of Peace. A choice for Me and My ways is a choice for peace. (I:459)

I can heal your ugly qualities, if you're willing to face them and accept My healing Power for them.
It's a choice between the ordinary - the System way, doing it like everybody else - and the extraordinary: My way. A choice
between the mountain or the valley. (I:460)

It's difficult to be pleasing both, the people and Me at the same time, and you're just going to have to make your choice as
to what's more important to you! (I:465)

It all amounts to a choice between true loyalty and basically pursuing your own way. (I:486)

Choose to become one of the few to see things from My angle! (I:513)

I don't like to make decisions for you. I can help you make them, but you have to decide yourself. They're like tests and
ways for Me to find out where you're at, what you're made of and where you stand... The choices you make are what you
are. They make up your testimony, your witness, they become your whole legacy and your life. So, don't dread making
them, nor shun them or try to sneak your way out of them, since they're so important. Enjoy making them, or at least learn
to enjoy it.
It's the enemy, who's trying to get you to dread those choices. He likes to muddle things up, to keep them not so clear, so
nobody quite knows what's going on exactly, in his misty haze of confusion. But I have always provoked people to make
clear choices and decisions with My radical ways, either for Me or against Me, there was no in-between. (I:549)

It's heartbreaking to see people make the wrong choice, but choice is what it's all about.
It's always a matter of whether you believe you are your own, or whether you believe that since I not only created you, but
have also bought and redeemed you with My blood, you're rightfully Mine. If you accept the fact that your life actually
belongs to Me, you won't make such a big fuss about Me wanting to use you and wanting to employ you for My purposes,
you figure it's a whole lot better to serve Me than the devil. (I:557)

You must carefully choose in what you will invest the time which still remains. It will require discipline and a conscious
effort to make sure you invest it in the right things. I am the foundation. Choose this day what you will build on it: hay,
wood or precious stones. (II:8)

History or destiny is constantly being re-written and re-planned and re-shaped by its participants and their decisions. It all
depends on each of you. Each one has to fulfill their part. If any party allows the enemy to foil the plan, the final victory is
going to have to be brought about by some other means, or even by other players...
Your place as one of My winners is not guaranteed. Each one's place among the winners and final victors is only
determined by their own constant determination, conviction and decision to keep on for Me and Me alone, no matter what,
and if whatever your brother does causes you to stumble or give up, that brother may be held responsible for his mistakes,
but you will be held responsible for your own decision to focus on his faults instead of Me. (II:10)

You are what you are by the choices and decisions you make every day, every second, minute and hour, and what you will
be is determined by all that. You're not the same you were yesterday because of the decisions you made today.
You're either one step closer towards the goal or one step further away than you were since the last step you took,
depending on the direction in which you took it. (II:11)

86
As children of God to whom the Word of God is being revealed, you become as gods, as the Bible says, and your
decisions have greater impact on your future, than the decisions of unbelievers have on theirs, unless they choose to
receive Me and My Word, too.
Your future is still in the making, and determined by your decisions, so, why should I influence them by revelations of
what's going to happen? You might prefer it that way, but that's only because you see as a child sees, not as the Father,
Who sees what's truly good for you. (II:12)

When there is a choice, choose the true beauty, that which bears My message in it, not that which you think will please
them most. (II:19)

That's the decision every angel has had and every human being will have to make: whether they're going to promote
themselves or Me. In the end, there are really only those two options: you either work for Me or for Mammon, for love or for
self and selfishness... for the truth or some half-baked compromise, which sooner or later winds up as a lie or some form
of self-deception.
If you really want to live for the truth, choose to do so! (II:72)

No man can serve two masters. Blessed is he who has chosen the right Master. (II:82)

Will you live as a little "king," reigning for a short time in your own little realm of pride and self-righteousness, judging
everyone by your own laws and rules, and forever thinking you know better than everyone else, including Me, or will you
turn around and walk the humble but truthful and honest and sincere road of a true prince for Me?
Choose which road you're going to follow; the high road or the low road, the path of light or the broadway of darkness, the
way of truth, or the slippery track of lies. (II:86)

The temptations will keep coming and knocking at your door, but it's your choice whether you will succumb to them! (II:137)

I never wanted robots who just blindly obey My every command without any choice, but I do want people - and angels for
that matter, heavenly servants as you are My earthly ones - who know why they're serving Me and why they are loyal to Me,
why they love Me. (II:166)

It's a myriad of little, seemingly insignificant choices you're having to make each day, as to who you're going to listen to,
whom are you going to follow, My voice and the whispers of wisdom, or the devil's roaring cheers, laughter and enticing
songs?
Keep your focus on the spiritual! Make the right choices! Distinguish between the devil's lures and My whispers, and
between the way the world sees things and My way. (II:173)

I frequently have to change tactics and plans and methods, or even policies, according to the condition of My people.
So much depends on the decisions you make each day. (II:186)

I have given everyone the freedom of choice to either doubt or believe Me.
The temptation is there to think, "What is He doing? That's not right..." And the temptation of self-righteousness, of
thinking you could or would have done better. That choice is there, for everyone, constantly. That's the plan of free choice.
(II:199)

It doesn't primarily depend on the training you receive what kind of man you're going to be, but it depends on the choices
you make. (II:207)

Serving Me is a choice everyday: who are you going to cater to, your own desires or Mine?
Lethargy, selfishness and pleasure will always promote your own ends in your mind, and all that's there to counter them is
My Word and the voice of My Spirit, the anti-flesh, the anti-ego "movement" in the world of your mind, and you have to
make your choices every time which side you're going to actively support by your actions. (Phil.2:21).
I wish for you to make the decision at the beginning of each day that this is going to be a day you're going to choose to
invest in My cause, a day that you're going to live for the sake of the promotion of My Cause and My Kingdom. (II:210)

I'm teaching you about the often underestimated impact and effect of your personal choices.
My promises are always conditional in some way; you have to keep your part of the deal in order for Me to be able to keep
Mine: if you make the right choices, then all the positive things apply that I've told you. But if you make the wrong choices,
I can take your blessings away from you again just as quickly as you decide to listen to and yield to the voices of the
enemy!
There comes a point when consequences can no longer be put off. (II:211)

Everything - what you're going to become in the future, your destiny and all that goes with it - depends on you, your
choices and actions right now, today, and the amount of elbow grease and initiative that you're willing to invest in it! (II:216)

One needs to make the choice whether what they want is really the truth or merely their own mental concept of Me, the way
they'd like to see Me. (II:223)

87
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. (II:228)

Decide whose servant you are, whether you are My servant or servant to the ties of the flesh! (II:248)

Things change by the decisions people make, that's why it's hard to make accurate predictions and "time tables"
regarding the future. The future is as flexible as people's majesty of choice. Certain events are set in stone, but when and
exactly how they're to come about depends on many little factors, individual decisions, and switch points.
It's the little things that make this kingdom stand... little prayers, and little decisions... little, seemingly insignificant
choices.
They will determine the rise and fall of kings and what could have been kings and prophets. They make the difference
between everything and nothing. For the want of the nail... the kingdom lost.
One proud choice to disobey a seemingly minor instruction of the prophet cost Saul his kingdom... (II:263)

Some people have been sent strong delusion so that they might believe a lie, simply because they did not receive the love
of the truth. They had the chance to receive the truth, but when they rejected it, that was their decision to take the down-
hill slope.
I have equipped all My sons and daughters of all ages with the "majesty of choice," a constant check in your heart which
determines whether you're willing to give up your own thing to Me and allow Me to be your Boss and Master of your fate,
or not. It's either "yes" or "no" to Me. (II:283)

There are two paths, two ways for man to choose through life: the carnal way and the path of faith. The result only shows
at the end of the road.
Some matters I leave up to your choices and decisions, and with others, I don't leave you any option (because I know you
wouldn't choose them voluntarily); they're inevitable.
Everybody has their special role to play. Your role is to help others to determine which is going to be their role and
position towards Me, whether they're going to be antagonistic towards My Cause or whether they will help or at least
sympathize with us. You "guide" them into decisions, either for Me or against Me, sometimes without saying a word.
Simply by receiving and accepting or rejecting and despising you, they will already have made a decision. (II:289)

What would you do, where would you go, if you really believed that all things were possible to you?
Where do you think you would be the most needed, and what would you do?
Anything is possible! You can go and be and do whatever you want! (II:308)

The easy way out, the path of the least resistance, the comfortable path with the least possible effort required is a poor
choice! (II:317)

Can you make "Thy will be done" the sole sufficient ground for your life, your destiny, your paths and choices in life? (II:319)

It's a choice that everyone's got to make: what's more important, their own physical comfort, or comforting lost souls and
therein finding the Comforter? (II:324)

You've got to accept people's choices without self-righteously judging them for them! You've got to respect their majesty
of choice, knowing that I haven't ordained you all to take the same path! (II:329)

Everything in life depends on choices. It's part of a parent's love to leave their child a choice.
My followers choose to let Me have the ultimate choice, it's okay with them if I don't always say "yes" to everything they
want. Whereas those who insist on having their way regardless of Me and what I have to say about it, reap the
consequences. (II:343)

Everybody's got the majesty of choice that qualifies them to make decisions to either make good of this life or to destroy
it.
If you give someone the truth, he can still decide to receive it or reject it. It's like with any other gift: he may decide to
receive it or reject it. When they reject what you're offering or giving them that's not your fault. It's their decision. It's not
because what you're offering them isn't good. They just don't want it. Their perception of quality, their standard of values
is corrupted.
Anybody who chooses to worship creation (or even worse, the creations of man), over the Creator, will reap the
repercussions of that decision.
There will be differences in the repercussions of your decisions. Not everybody will wind up exactly the same, regardless
of whatever they did...
What can you give to someone who doesn't want anything that's good?
There is such a thing as squandering your crown, your royal heritage. You may still be a son and a welcome member of the
Kingdom, but you forfeited your heirloom. Sometimes when you've gambled and lost it all, the result is actually shockingly
simple: it's gone. You've lost it, squandered it, and it's gone. No more heritage, no more part of the kingdom to rule and
reign, because you chose to be your own little king in your own selfish little kingdom before it was due, you wanted it all
right here and now, you wouldn't wait. You were too short-sighted to invest your life in some promised future; you wanted
all the fun, all the comfort right away.
88
They despised the kingdom and the birthright, the title to the throne for a mess of pottage. They're still sons, but not the
heirs of the promise and blessing. (II:344)

It's one thing to serve when you're forced to, but it's another thing to really learn to serve voluntarily from the heart,
because you choose to.
It's the choice between going through life with a "gimme, gimme" attitude of consumerism, seeking to enjoy all you can,
and get all the input you can, or laying down your life for others. (II:371)

My Love is unconditional, but whether you're going to be a recipient of that Love depends on your choices to receive it and
say "yes" to Me. All things depend on your choices... (II:378)

The choice is yours, whether you will conquer the highlands or the lowlands before you, the mountainous territories or the
plains, the woods or the wilderness, but it's expedient that you do go forward. (II:389)

It's a matter of choices; of listening to and yielding to the right or wrong voices. (II:492)

You can make the difference between what is and what could be! So much depends on you!
The course of history hinges on single humans and single human decisions and choices. (II:498)

You have the choice to let something bother you or not.

Satan makes you think you're a "prisoner," a captive of those mistakes and flaws of others, that you're going to have to
deal with and 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!
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!
You can choose to rise above anything; not only your own weaknesses, but also those of others, simply by not allowing
them to affect you adversely. It's not the same as simply ignoring them; it's a supernatural act, because it requires a
miracle of My Love. (II:499)

The extent to which evil is allowed in the world was gradually determined by the extent to which people accepted it, just as
the amount of good is determined by the extent to which people accept Me and follow My ways. It all depends on people's
choices.
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. (II:521)

As long as the enemy is still around, there will always be things, people or wavelengths you will feel incapable of
becoming one with, and rightly so. After all, you're supposed to be finding out where you belong, and where it's at.
Choosing sides is what it's all about. Some simply choose the wrong side, and it's sad, but you can't let that affect you too
much.
They just settle for the temporal, for the right here and now, for their own "godhood," their round of playing king. Spoiled
children. It's a choice between wanting to be either good children, who can wait for the reward and who are also willing to
do something for them, to make sacrifices, or spoiled children who want to have it all now and can't wait until later. Of
course, in order to enjoy their cake now, they will have to pay the master of the game. He caters to what they want.
Whereas I'm more concerned about what you truly need.
It's a choice between your own desires and inclinations, thinking that what you want is all that matters, or whether you're
going to be able to trust that I know better, and that what you need is what matters, not what you want or think you need.
It's receiving My fullness in exchange for letting go of the world's emptiness, their fake fullness, the counterfeit of
abundance, their "too much of everything." (II:539)

Some people never climb up any further that "stairway to Heaven," after they get saved: they just stay there on that first
step, and can even go downhill from there. The game of free choice doesn't stop there. Although you have decided to
receive Me, it doesn't mean that you're automatically going to continue receiving Me from then on. As you can see with
some, they make the decision afterwards to never open their heart to Me again. The devil scares them out. All they do is
receive the seed, but they don't allow it to sprout, grow and blossom. They're afraid of letting it fall into the ground and die
so that it may bring forth fruit in them. They instinctively know that some part of them is going to die with it, if they allow
that. Their physical, momentary lives are what matters more to them than eternity. (II:573)

89
I'm constantly trying to get decisions from each of My followers, in order to show who or what they put their trust in when
it all comes down to it. (II:575)

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. (II:600)

Do you want Me to change your circumstances? Then let Me know!

It's easier than you think for you to change your circumstances; all it often takes is your choice to want to have them
changed! (II:601)

When there's a choice and an option for an easier way out, and yet My brides choose the less promising, the less visible
way, the way of faith, of emptiness, the way of foregoing, sacrificing and forsaking, because they know in Me they will find
a much greater happiness, that makes Me so happy. (II:608)

When there's a choice and an option for an easier way out, and yet My brides choose the less promising, the less visible
way, the way of faith, of emptiness, the way of foregoing, sacrificing and forsaking, because they know in Me they will find
a much greater happiness, that makes Me so happy. (II:627)

People usually they won't choose what's good for them. They usually won't choose the fight against evil, they'll choose the
easy way out. They usually won't choose to resist the temptation, but to succumb to it.
To expect from kids that they'll choose the better way from scratch just isn't realistic. It doesn't make sense to be shaking
your head at their failures, saying, "they ought to know better."
You either narrow their choices in order to reduce the potential harm they can do to themselves, or you realistically expect
(from 6000 years of experience from history) that they're going to make the wrong choices like everybody else. And while
they make their experiences that teach them to do better next time, you still let them know that you love and accept them
anyway, that you pray for them and that you'll be there for them, should they ever need you.
That's the kind of unconditional love I'm offering people, and if you want to be My follower, that's what I would expect you
to try to do as well.
It's hard to stand by and watch how they're screwing up, how they're making the wrong choices, seem to develop likings
for the wrong kind of things, open themselves up to the wrong spirits. But, hey, I've had to do it with you, and I think it's
only fair if you follow in My footsteps and get a little bit of that experience yourself. That's part of the meaning of life and of
maturing: to experience how God feels. And then to learn how to love and forgive the way God does. (III:6)

The extent to which a person is willing to give Me their attention is so much up to each one's personal majesty of choice.
(III:21)

People, governments, societies... Their structures change from within according to the decisions and choices made on
individual levels as well as corporate... they all affect their stance toward Me, whether they tend to be for Me or against Me.
(III:32)

A lot is up to the personal choices of people. The way they are and what they become depends on their own choices. You
are, basically, what you choose to be and chose to become, and often people simply seem to settle for less than the best.
My part is making the best out of the mess you make out of it all with your choices, and it's quite a challenge. But when
you'll see the final outcome of it all, you will even see My wisdom in having allowed you to make those wrong choices in
the first place. (III:46)

You've got to base your decisions on what's right, not just to avoid hurt feelings. Some hurts can be good. They can make
you grow, mature, wise up, learn, expand, able to relate, to sympathize, to have compassion on others and see things from
their angle, and not just your own. (III:52)

You cannot indulge in the spirit of the world and drink from My cup at the same time, you must choose which it is you
want. (III:54)

You must choose wisely each day between those two paths I have set before you: the path of life, and the path of death;
the path of the flesh or the path of the Spirit.
Choose the path of life and spirit each day, and run away from all things that would promote the flesh or the things that the
flesh would beckon you to do, the way of death, that is not love and life and spirit.
It's righteousness vs. self-righteousness; faith vs. the faithless, materialistic ways of the world; love vs. selfishness, and
peace vs. the aggressive ways of the world. So, when the enemy tempts you to be self-righteous, to settle for less than My
best, to be selfish, and with aggressive thoughts, you won't fall for it.
These are choices you're having to make each day between flesh or spirit, the ways of life and the ways of death (Jer.21:8).
You have to choose between My humble way and the proud ways of the world, between giving Me all the glory, and
cashing in some of it yourself and patting yourself on the back. (III:55)

Its you alone who is responsible for your own actions and choices. (III:65)

90
Being human gives you all the liberties to experience "freedom from Me," to live out the total majesty of freedom of choice.
And those whose hearts truly belong to Me realize that "freedom from Me" isn't freedom at all, but the opposite, that true
freedom lies in belonging to Me. (III:70)

Thank you for choosing Me as your role model! I will reward your choice in this and won't disappoint you, and you'll see
that eventually that choice will manifest in the type of fruit in your life that will cause others to look up to you as well, and
you won't have to be ashamed anymore, because they will no longer see you, but Me in you.
Thank you for choosing to represent Me, My Cause and My agenda in this world, and for not seeking your own! (III:91)

I cannot protect anyone from their own choices, not even My own disciples. (III:109)

When you stop to pray and give Me a chance to work through you, you're not only making the choice that eventually you're
going to go to Heaven, as you did when you first prayed to ask Me to come into your heart, but you're making choices that
allow the forces of Heaven to become active in your life right now. (III:122)

Those who choose to do good over evil, and those who choose to recognize, accept, receive and believe in the Good when
they hear about Him, those are God's children. (III:123)

You can't blame the devil for everything. Some things are simply the result of man's sinful nature, the results which he has
brought about by his own choices - which may have been initiated by the devil's temptations- but they were still,
nonetheless, their own choices.
The circumstances outside the Garden of Eden teach you the consequences, and thus you learn from your mistakes.
(III:126)

Like My apostles of old, you will have to make the choice to obey God, rather than men. (III:136)

Sometimes the apparently easier way, chosen to make things easier on yourself, can turn out to be a detour instead of a
shortcut. (III:154)

The majesty of choice is the one thing that can only be affected by prayer within limitations.
It's - some would say, the biggest flaw in My plan, since it leaves such a giant loophole for the devil to operate. But on the
other hand, what other universal lesson would ever drive home the importance and advantages of yieldedness and
surrender to Me? (III:157)

Some folks just don't want to be helped, and the best thing you can do for them is let them go and allow Me to teach them
the lessons they need through their experiences.
Their story will be a living monument for all eternity, of where the wrong choices will lead. (III:174)

Unbelievers refuse to believe in My existence or the existence of the devil because they know too much would be at stake,
if they'd accept that we exist. They know that a decision would be expected of them, who theyll serve, and that if they'd
serve Me, they'd have to oppose him.
But by refusing to acknowledge neither of us, they get around having to deal with the whole issue. They refuse to see the
spirit world altogether in order to avoid having to make the decision what position they're going to take in this war. (III:182)

Choose the best gifts for each day!

Let Me guide you by My Spirit in the directions I want you to choose each day! (III:198)

You have to keep the spiritual things first. Otherwise, your decision to yield to the calls of the material world instead, may
take you for a detour ride into a spiritual desert. (III:206)

There are those who make the right choices, and the question is: do you have the determination to become one of them?
When all the false incentives for living don't seem to do the trick anymore, and disappoint you over and over again, why
not make the choice for the right one and the one cause that won't let you down, nor fail to disappoint you? (III:212)

Every moment you invest in Me, be it through prayer, reading or memorizing or giving out My Word, every minute you
invest in learning more about wielding the weapons of the Spirit World, is a step that takes you closer to the goal of being
ready for what's to come.
It's a choice you have to make nearly constantly: What am I going to invest my time in? (III:215)

Choosing to walk My path is seldom something that can be done collectively, but is based on individual decisions. You
can't make it for anyone. Every person must make it for themselves. (III:237)

The experience every human being gleans from their choices is what makes it all so special, and what makes this "Big
Picture" so exciting. What kind of a drama would there have been, if everyone would have been programmed to do good
from the beginning to the end? Not much of a story to tell; in fact, no story at all...
The lessons of the suffering that mankind is going through right now because of their wrong choices, will be there forever.
91
My Kingdom will be run by those who will have learned to make the right choices, and that should make quite a difference.
The art consists of learning to make the right choices right now, in spite of the manifold temptations and urges that would
beckon you to make the wrong ones.
Will you, by your choices you make each day in your life, prove yourself worthy to be counted among those who will have
earned the privilege of leading My people in a better way in the future? Will you be able to show forth that you have learned
to make the right choices?
People are sick and tired of leaders who keep making selfish choices, or whose motives are selfish and wrong in the first
place, who are subject to the same temptations as they are and fall for them, all the while claiming they're something
better, and that they should have earned themselves a right to lead others, when upon closer inspection there isn't really
much that would qualify them for such a position.
People are getting sick and tired of unrighteous and corrupt leadership, that's why I need My future world leaders to make
choices that will prove that they have learned to do better. (III:243)

You can only glean so much from watching others and learning from their experience. What will stick with you forever is
your own experiences, your own pains and hurts and consequences of your own poor choices and mistakes... (III:269)

Making the right choices is sort of a rare phenomenon. It's not something that everybody does all the time. People are
much more attuned, in general, to their own desires, wants, inklings and cravings, than to My bidding, and even those who
do want to serve Me, usually prefer to do so on their own terms, within a well respected church or environment. (III:270)

Sheep always need a little nudge or shove in the right direction.

You're supposed to be helping them to make the right decisions in life that will ensure their happiness, fulfillment and
fruitfulness, as opposed to the way of the flesh, the path they would choose if you just let'em have their own way.
The art is getting people to forsake their own way and convince them that Mine is better! In other words, you're trying to
talk them into accepting My leadership and authority over their lives, and trading in their autonomy, which actually is
nothing but the dictatorship of the flesh, for the rule of My Spirit, and let them experience first hand which one of the two
paths it is that provides the greater joy and happiness. (III:276)

The tendency to consider work more important than the people I've committed to your charge or send across your path is
a choice: "Am I going to consider what I'm doing now more important than taking time for this person who is talking to me,
or am I going to make that sacrifice of interrupting my work or activity in order to show them that they matter more to me?"
(III:286)

All I need is people's cooperation to allow Me to make them into the human beings I have ordained and destined them to
be, above and beyond that which they could ever become in the flesh, or if they allow the enemy to hinder them. All I need
is their will on My side and a little bit of their cooperation, and they'll be able to rise above anything. (III:298)

Some folks cooked up the Yin and Yang philosophy, because that dual nature and coexistence of good and evil seems to
be prevalent and permeate all of creation.
What they don't see is that it is a result of the curse which man's choice to believe Satan, rather than obeying God, has
brought into the world, and that this may be the nature of things presently, and temporarily, but it is not the order of things
according to the eternal Laws. (III:311)

Once you voluntarily, out of your own free will and majesty of choice, made the decision to obey and follow Me, love
becomes a thing you've just got to do, no matter what. (III:320)

You can help them make the right choice by making it extra hard on them to make the wrong choices.
Spare them some of the pain by making it tougher on them to make the wrong choices.
If you make it hard enough for them to make the wrong choices, then they will think twice about making one when they're
older.
Nowadays parents not only make it too easy for their children to make wrong choices, but they will often even encourage
them to make them, because their own lives have been a path of wrong choices. (III:331)

Life is a pathway of choosing what things are there to keep, and what things are there to get rid of. (III:339)

You're going to have to decide whether you're going to believe the evidence of what you see, or what I say. (III:345)

Mankind wouldn't stand a chance if we just left this world over to the devil completely.
We're having 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." (III:352)

Obedience brings down My blessing and My Spirit upon you, My Spirit of Love, and if there isn't enough love or enough of
My Spirit, then it's not so much so that I've "allowed" it to be so, as it was your own choice not to fulfill My commandment.
Asking Me, "How could You allow us not to obey you?" would be the same as asking, "Why did You allow free choice?"
I may be almighty, but it's no big secret that I have explicitly limited My Powers not to interfere with mankind's individual
and personal choices. (III:362)

92
I have put before you the ways of either life or death for you to choose whether you'll take the high road or the low road.
What is it you're going to choose to do? Give up? Quit? Or keep fighting? (III:367)

I let you walk the path you choose, even if I know that there might be a bitter end attached to it, and Ill be standing there to
catch your fall. (III:372)

You have the choice to either murmur and complain about your fate, or praise and thank Me for having allowed what I knew
would be best for your general outcome and eternal happiness. (III:436)

The hard-working, all-giving, dedicated disciples may still be somewhat of a minority. But youll have to decide what group
youre going to belong to: the on-fire minority, or the lukewarm majority. (III:437)

Im counting on you and your wisdom to help make decisions for the best of the Kingdom. They may be small decisions
and choices at first, but trust Me, there are going to be weightier matters coming up as time goes by.
Its a great privilege and responsibility to be involved in the decision-making and the plans and workings of the Almighty.
Knowing that youre important to Me and that your choices matter to Me will help you to be more on the ball and take the
whole thing more seriously. (III:449)

You cannot drop people like a hot potato because they didnt choose your exact same road.
Thats another aspect of the Law of Love: you grant people the right to make their own choices, just as God does. You
wont withdraw from them in resignation when they choose a different path, but you keep on loving them anyway; always
ready to receive them back with arms wide open (III:459)

While it wouldnt make sense to put much effort into reaching a state of sinless perfection in your own energy, you can
trust in My grace and Salvation power that eventually you will reach that goal. It only took one right choice. (III:473)

That was the plan from the beginning free choice. (III:474)

In order to make that Salvation work out in this life and have any affect right here and now, one will eventually have to
realize that its a fight, and choose sides. (III:478)

Would you withhold from others the same majesty of choice that Ive granted you and every other human being since the
first living couple? (III:519)

Who will receive our witness and testimony? To whom shall the arm of the Lord be revealed? You will only find out by
bringing them the message and thus putting them before the choice of either rejecting or receiving it. (III:525)

Only if they see you unmoved over time by countless storms, will they finally begin to see that youve got something more
lasting than what they traded their happiness for.
If you wont be moved by their wrong choices, it will also mean that your attitude toward them wont be much affected,
your love for them will remain strong and unconditional
You must not see yourself as the victim, but them. Theyre the victims of their own poor choices. So, dont weep for
yourself, but rather weep for them. Their path is a chosen path of pain and sorrow, not yours. (III:531)

I will help you to see it through, but you must make the initial choice that you dont want to go the selfish road, but
deliberately choose the unselfish, sacrificial. (III:534)

I was a living Monument to the fact that folks had been placing their bet on a lie, and building their lives on a fake
foundation. The more established their lives were on that foundation, the more satisfied they were with their fake and their
lie, the more they resented Me. Only those who at the core of their hearts were dissatisfied with that game were ready to let
go of it all and follow Me or at least hinge their faith on Me.
People are having to make the same kind of choices about you. You resemble to them what I resembled to folks in My day
and My neighborhood. You evoke the same kind of choices in them that I did in the folks of My time, and the end result is
basically the same. Their choices concerning you represent their choices concerning Me.
Whichever way theyre going to respond and react to you, is their reaction to Me.
You preach and speak and live the same truth that I represented, and it presents them with the same choices that people in
My days on Earth had to make concerning Me. (III:545)

You have to face the consequences of your choices and actions. The consequences are there to teach you to think and
counsel harder before you make choices. (III:560)

You become the way you are by means of your own choices. You do the things you do because you choose to do them,
not because I make you do them.
Theres a lot more free choice involved here than what people usually give Me credit for. You do what you choose to do,
not what I make you do or have predestined you to.
You either believe that people have free choice, or you dont. People are becoming skeptical of the concept of free choice,
because theyre seeing theyre not really making that much of a difference with whom they choose for a leader. A lot of it
93
seems to be a fake, the illusion of free choice. And while that may apply to the System, it certainly does not with Me, and
some of those fatalists will get a surprise when theyll find out how much actually depended on them, their choices, their
words, their actions. (III:567)

Its sort of a lesser evil when having to choose between the pain of dealing with ones own sins and short-comings, and
the easier option of inflicting part of the pain on somebody else by blaming them for their misery.
It isnt happening on a conscious level, but its one of the enemys carefully cloaked processes and maneuvers in the dark.
Its one of the subtle machineries of the devil that teaches his weaker clients to help them get the better part of the deal
against the odds. Thats his way of playing Robin Hood and the champion of the weak and downtrodden. He teaches them
how to cheat and deceive their way through life.
They could have chosen not to. They could have chosen to refuse the devils hook, line and sinker. They could have
chosen the great peace which they have that love My law.
They can cling to that satisfaction that playing the victim gives them, if thats what they choose and want. Or they can
choose to forgive, they can choose peace. (III:581)

You have to decide who it is that deserves the glory and praise. (III:595)

Everybody has to make their own experiences in the world that will make them determine whether they feel at home in it,
or whether theyll refuse to settle for what it has got to offer them, and seek a better place instead (IV:17)

Its your own choice whether you want to be happy or not. (IV:33)

When somebodys mind is made up about something you have relatively little chance to change anything about that, and
you just have to let them go through the consequences of their choices.
Poor choices and their results are often the only thing that will effectively change peoples minds for the better in the long
run. You cannot save them from making those any more than I was able to save you from yours. (IV:58)

When man separated himself from Me by his choices, he brought conditions upon himself and his world that make him
quite different from My nature and the nature of the eternal. But all things will be reconciled and reunified with Me.
Talking about a unified theory. Theories wont be necessary anymore then. It will be the unified facts of how everything
was created, planned and executed by Someone Who left very little up to random chance, but rather to the individual
choices of man to bring upon himself either a blessing or a curse.
Creation is based somewhat on the same system as computers 1s and 0s, yeses and nos on a constant basis, toward
Me, their Creator.
The right choice to make is to accept Me, to integrate and include Me, and to acknowledge Me, to seek Me in My Creation.
The wrong choice is to ignore Me, deny Me, refuse to accept that Im there, and thus exclude Me from the equation and Big
Picture. The right choices lead to true wisdom and insight and knowledge, the others to foolishness professing itself to be
wise. (IV:79)

You have to cherish and value your spiritual position and guard it, and determine that you wont allow the Enemy to throw
you off, come what may. You will certainly not allow him to use something insignificant to throw you off.
You must consider, Is this worth getting grumpy over? Is this worth getting upset about and trading my position in the
victory for, and my position on the Lords wavelength?
And, of course, the wholehearted answer must be, No way!
You dont have to let the darkness in. You can make a choice to fight and refuse to let it in and focus on the light instead,
and decide that youre going to cling to a positive attitude instead! (IV:88)

I did not cause the repercussions of the Fall of mankind, but mans own choices did. (IV:94)

Once anyone has made that decision and they reject Me and they show it openly by resisting you, then Ive shown and told
you what to do: you leave their place and shake off the dust from your feet, and your peace will return unto you.
Once they made the decision where they reject you and what youve got to say and oppose you, then youve got no
obligations toward them, as far as Im concerned, because they have chosen the enemy to be master over their lives
instead of Me. (IV:107)

People blame Me for the chaotic state their world is in when it was really and always have been their own choices that were
responsible for the chaos and the mess.
You want to become gods? Well, go ahead then, and lets all find out what will be the outcome of this. Go ahead and
reshape the world according to your own ideas, and make the best of it you know how, and lets all see what will come out
of it.
Im basically leaving the world under your control. Yours and the devils, that is, since the majority of people seem to prefer
his leadership over Mine.
All that really matters is whose promises you believe and put your faith in. Is it the devils, your scientists, your politicians
or Mine? They all may be promising you a glorious future, but since the things they say all differ from each other, only one
can speak the truth, and only one of those glorious futures is actually going to happen.
Who will have invested his faith in the right version or promises, and thus will have built their lives on the right and true
foundation will be revealed in the end.
94
Until then it may seem as though they are the winners and you are the losers, but momentary appearances can be
deceiving and the final result may be quite surprising.
If they want to base their lives on appearances, instead of thoroughly investigating what really is truth, then thats their
decision.
It has always been easier to trust in what you can see. But whether it will turn out to be the more rewarding option remains
yet to be seen. (IV:113)

What was perfect to begin with, has deteriorated due to mans own choices.
You can reverse that process again with your choices, but in order to make the right choices, youre going to have to have
the right attitude of trust in Me, and really prove that youre going to put your faith in Me this time around, and not the
empty promises of the enemy. (IV:114)

The school of life is about finding out who will be the smart guys who wont fall into the same old traps over and over
again. Who are the ones who will wake up to the fact that this is not where its at and the way things are supposed to be,
and will start looking for an alternative and a way out
Sometimes its simply the determination to advance to the next step of your development and say of your old crutch, I
dont need this anymore. You decide youre going to go on to the next level and hang on to Me and spiritual things for
satisfaction and fulfillment instead of those carnal counterfeits and mere shadows of the Real Thing.
The more you realize that this is definitely not the path you want to choose for your life, the more you will be on the
lookout for My alternative, and as I have promised, they that seek Me, the Real Thing, with their whole hearts, will also find
Me!
The true alternative is a living relationship with Me, with real, living communication, and letting Me guide you into
discerning between what is right and wrong in each situation in your life, and, of course, choosing the right option once
confronted with it.

Self-righteous people who look at the flaws in the world say, Well, a perfect God would have certainly come up with
something better than this less-than-perfect world. What they dont know is that it was perfect to begin with, but it has
deteriorated due to mans own choices.
You can reverse that process again with your choices, but in order to make the right choices, youre going to have to have
the right attitude of trust in Me, and really prove that youre going to put your faith in Me this time around, and not the
empty promises of the enemy. (IV:114)

Everybody has the majesty of free choice.

The Father and I didnt want to have robot-like creatures obeying and serving us all day just because We made them to. We
want everybody to like Us and to love Us voluntarily, because they choose to and want to.
Well, some of the guys Up Here chose not to play the game according to Our rules, but wanted to start their own game,
and one guy in particular wanted to be his own boss, and even boss of the world, if he could get a chance at it, and so we
made a deal, that if he could get the first two people, Adam and Eve, to choose to believe his words over Ours, then he
could run the world for some time.
Well, guess what Adam and Eve chose?
Just like Adam and Eve, you also have a choice to make, whether you believe My Word and My input on things, or youd
rather listen to the tempting offers of My enemy. (IV:157)

The majority of people choose the easier way of flowing with the stream and running with the crowd, instead of the hard
and harsh winding mountain trail that leads to life the way I intended it.
Only a very small minority will have the wisdom to choose that other, apparently harder option.
The majority will usually choose the wrong path, because the path of wisdom and the path of life is simply the path of the
minority. (IV:181)

Who will be My chosen ones who will have chosen not to settle for anything less than the Real Thing? (IV:186)

People can never figure out why, of all people I have chosen them. But its usually because of some relatively small choice
they made to begin with: you chose to come back faithfully to attend to My Words and learn from My lips. (IV:192)

The attitude of a servant, as opposed to that of a tyrant, and the choice between either of those two is basically what
determines your outcome in the final analysis of your life as either a winner or a loser. (IV:193)

Its the choice not for the most comfortable option, but rather, for the only true and genuine one, no matter what
discomforts and sacrifices it may bring, that determines ones ability to truly judge and discern between good and evil.
Basically, it means allowing Me to judge the matter, and not come to conclusions prematurely. (IV:194)

You can choose to see the donut or the hole. You can choose to see God as the loving Father He is, or as wicked tyrant.
As pitiful as this present life may be in comparison, its still there for a purpose, and not to be despised.
Its a testing ground for you to find out and determine how to make Heaven or Hell happen for you by your choices. The
reason why some peoples lives resemble death rather than life is that it resembles hell because of their choices, while at
the same time it could be so much more like Heaven, if they would only make the right choices.

95
Somebody once made the wrong choice that resulted in this opportunity for you and everyone to make the right ones that
will bring them back toward the way things originally were.
In fact, they will even be better than they were originally, in the long run. You can choose to trust and believe Me for all
that, and watch just what a difference it will make in your life! (IV:199)

A lot of terrible things have happened since the beginning of the world, a lot of grief and pain. But would you rather have
traded in your freedom to love and serve Me voluntarily in order to have things differently?
Free choice has and always had its price. (IV:203)

Not everyone among the small and oppressed minority - as far as the rest of the world was concerned did receive Me, but
only another yet smaller minority of chosen ones among them chose to receive and accept Me as the promised Messiah,
Savior and Son of God
Its shocking sometimes, just how few are really attuned to Me and choose My way But dont see it as a negative, or let it
discourage you, but rather, let it drive home to you the significance of the role you play for Me!
The less there are around of your kind, the more precious and valuable you become. (IV:208)

Through the first human choice to disobey, Satan has been granted the power to issue his own orders and initiate
processes on his own, which, of course counter My workings, and in actuality threaten to take over the matrix of creation
like a bad virus that can rapidly infect a whole computer system. (IV:227)

You are there, and theyre going to have to make a decision about you. (IV:250)

Its up to the personal choices of each individual whether theyre going to determine to belong to the special chosen ones
who have chosen Me above all else. (IV:252)

Do you really want to make the choice to take the easier way?
Or could it be that the harder way always having the assurance that Ill never make it too hard for you is actually the
better option for you in the long run? (IV:256)

I can even choose not to know certain things that I could know if I wanted to.
I want our relationship to be real; as real as it possibly can, and thus it must include the possibility for you to hurt Me in
some ways, even if I could foresee the hurt, if I chose to.
I choose not to see certain things in advance, in order to come down a little more to your level.
I can be as much subject to hurt and disappointment as you can, because I chose to.
I may be all-knowing, but I can still choose not to know certain things. I may be all-powerful, but I can still choose not to do certain
things, even if some folks would consider it wiser for Me to do them.
While I may choose not to see or know certain things in advance, that does not necessarily apply to the Father, and when
theres something He deems I ought to know that I previously may have blocked Myself from seeing, He can reveal it to Me,
so everythings under His perfect control...
A lot is up to each individual and their choices. (IV:258)

There can only be one God in your life: its either Him or you. Thats basically the choice that every human being will ever
have to make. (IV:265)

Things are still influenced by your personal choices and mistakes, but as I have told you, I even use those mistakes and
cause them to work together for your good.
A lot depends on the degree to which you manifest your love for Me in your actions and choices, and the more you do, the
more I can work things out for your good. (IV:288)

By choice, We have made it possible for man to have himself adopted by another father, and play by that foster
parents rule, and unfortunately, most have chosen the devil as their step father over My Fathers authority.
They prefer to be called his heirs, and thus, heirs of his kingdom they shall be, unless they choose to come back over to
Our camp any time.
So, while that inherent goodness or innocence or divine relation or connection is there, somewhat, most people
choose to ignore that heritage completely, and prefer their new foster parents rule and authority over them: the nice
uncle who offers them all those shiny toys, and whats best, supposed autonomy and self-rule, as in, liberty and freedom
from My rules (and isnt that what teenagers want most? Freedom from the parents rules and restrictions?), for the
seemingly small price of loyalty to him and his rules, which may look a little bit easier to keep, since they allow one to
remain selfish.
And since people, by heritage of choice, are born into the jurisdiction of that usurped foster parenthood of the enemy, it
takes a deliberate and conscious choice to return to the jurisdiction of My rule and Law of Love, before anyone can really
take full advantage again of the Fathers parenthood, and the benefits of being His child and heir
While I justly discern between those who never had a chance to make that choice and those who do, everybody basically
decides by their choices and actions which side they prefer to adhere and belong to throughout the course of their lives,
and the majority, by their choices, refuse to be Gods children, and prefer the other guy as their rightful dad their own
choice being the sole factor that makes it rightful, since that is the basic rule I have installed for everyone: your choices do
count.
96
That is the divine right I have given everyone, and if most of those who were originally My offspring deliberately choose
another parent to have the rule and authority over Me, then I have to respect that choice and decision of theirs until they
will someday return to Me like the prodigal son, which in many cases may only occur long after their physical lives have
past.
The way you make that choice to return to the Fathers parenthood in this dispensation of grace is by accepting My
sacrifice for mans sins on the cross. While Adam and Eves original choice may have bought you the devil for your new
parent, My blood buys you back into the Fathers House, if thats what you want
By choosing to be ignorant of the devils devices, folks dont really grasp the severity of that choice and of ones own
personal responsibility, or at least they dont express it as clearly or emphasize that a deliberate choice has to be made to
return to Me and the Father as their true authority by accepting My sacrifice.
Folks like that want to make it easier for everyone to be Gods children by saying, Youre all Gods children, anyway
without their having to make that choice first, and that is unfortunately where they are mistaken and rob folks of the
opportunity to truly become saved. (IV:304)

Its pitiful for Me to have to watch someone choose their own way above Mine, see them choose selfishness and only seek
their own pleasure and advantage. (IV:306)

Im making you come to grips with some of your limitations, confronting you with whats expecting you in order to make
you decide whether you want to make the necessary effort to stretch those limits and grow beyond them, or whether you
dont consider it worth the price youd have to pay. (IV:344)

I have to allow to reap the consequences of actions and choices.

There does exist that option of making the right kind of choices, which some people not many, but some - avail
themselves of.
Being counted among the overcomers means being one of those who finally stopped giving in to temptation and started
making the right choices for a change. (IV:382)

All blessings received in life are because of certain choices or efforts made, and having somehow deserved them. (IV:383)

Youre going to have to choose carefully what youre going to invest your energy in. (IV:386)

I am the only real and lasting Solution to the problem called life - one that wasn't intended to be a problem in the first
place, but turned out to be one by man's wrong choices. (IV:389)

You can choose to either see the good even in the bad, or do as some people do, look for the negative even in the good
things... It's obvious which approach is the one you should take, isn't it? (IV:395)

Dont invest your energy in looking at the waves, the wind, the threatening circumstances, the weak and frail condition of
your vessel, but choose to invest that last tiny little bit of energy you have in trusting Me in spite of all of them! (IV:402)

You have to decide and declare who is going to be the master of your universe: is it going to be your circumstances, your
doubts and all the adversities, or is it going to be Me? (IV:420)

Just like in any relationship, there is some mutual leeway and liberty for each party to make their own choice, but just as
you would probably appreciate it when your wife regards your decision as the ultimate or supreme or weightier voice in an
important matter, I also do when you let Me have the last say in something of greater importance. (IV:422)

Its you wholl be responsible for your plight, and the success or failure of every day; your own, personal and individual
choices. (IV:435)

I let you see both, the advantages and disadvantages of different options, and I want you to carefully make your choice .
(IV:447)

Everyone has the liberty of choice and can choose to do and follow whichever path they prefer. But those who do choose
My path will be able to enjoy certain privileges and rewards that will show that their choice was the wiser one. (IV:456)

Youve landed where you are because of your own choices of paths. It doesnt help much to wonder what would have
happened if you had chosen otherwise, but what you need to do is take the responsibility for where you are, accept that
this is your lot that you have chosen. (IV:486)

Its always your choice to walk the rougher path of maturity or the seemingly easier one of youth and immaturity. (IV:491)

I leave you freedom of choice in just about every aspect. But since you have chosen to follow and obey Me and seek My
highest will for you, you must also grant Me the right to differ when you happen to have personal preferences that dont
coincide with Mine (IV:504)

97
As much as I leave you free choice: the main purpose of that freedom is for you to find out by experience that there is
really no better choice you can make than deciding to put your will on My side. (IV:514)

Those who are really stuck deeply in their rat race and liking it, dont like the idea that there are some who have chosen not
to participate, and they may well be some of those voices beckoning you to join them, lest you be any different from
them (IV:516)

Thats basically the choice every human being on Earth has to make each day, and sometimes various times throughout a
day: Will you turn toward Me, or away from Me? Will you say Yes! to Me, or No!? (IV:528)

98
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Christianity vs. Churchianity

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
(Rev.3:15)

You should be shedding tears in desperate prayer for all the heartless injustices, cruelties and 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 wont be
found guilty of their sins, too, by participating in their delicacies they derive out of other peoples pain.
Sure, you are saved, all your sins are forgiven. But all the ones who will be lost because you were too busy entertaining
yourself instead of doing what you could to get them saved will one day make you cry. Why do you think I have to wipe
away so many tears from My childrens eyes? Because they fail to weep and pray in intercessory prayer for them now.
Because they fail to sow the seeds in weeping now. Because, if they would, joy would come in the morning, but great will
be the lamentation of those who fail to sow My seeds in this life, when this is what I would have wanted them to do. Great
will be the sorrow of those who fail Me and the lost who are searching for Me, when it would have been in their ability to
save them, but they would not, simply because they were too busy entertaining themselves... Can you see the atrocity of
this? Be not deceived into thinking that I will judge unrighteous judgment, for this is what My enemies on Earth say about
Me: "What kind of a God is this, who rewards his rich, spoiled, pampered and indulgent children with heaven for exploiting
the poor? For refusing to share their wealth? For not only standing by in cold indifference while others suffer and die, but
even being the perpetrators and cause of their suffering, more often than not?" Can you blame them for rejecting Me and
refusing to believe in the God of such a distorted picture of what is being portrayed as Christianity? Can you imagine how
much that hurts Me? Can you imagine how sick with anguish it makes Me? No, you cannot.
So, dont be deceived by any means, into thinking, that all those lukewarm, selfish, self-indulgent so-called Christians will
go unpunished, and woe unto you, if you are going to be counted among them. Being spewed out of My mouth isnt going
to be as glorious as they may picture heaven to be. Living in everlasting shame and contempt, while those they abused
and neglected will find comfort in My bosom wont be all that glorious, either. Only My faithful ones, those who truly give
their lives in order for others to find Me will be rewarded richly.
The others will even lose that which they think they have. Poor, destitute and naked, not rich and adorned, as she pictures
herself to be. Oh, how Satan has deceived her into perceiving herself as a queen. His magic, fake mirror of false images
distorts grossly the reality of the way things really are and the way I see things. Soon that glass will be shattered, and
there will be great wondering, amazement, and the shock will be so great that there even will be half an hour of silence in
all of heaven. The awe of her exposure will be so great... nothing will move... only silence. Imagine the whole universe
staring at you for half an hour, pondering the shame you have brought upon My name by your bad behavior: This will be
the fate of the Laodecian church. The lukewarm Christians. Oh, be not counted among them, but get on fire and burn your
life, like a candle at both ends, and give, give your life unto them for Me! Please! I beg you, for your own sakes, for lost
souls sakes, for the sake of their eternal future and yours:
Choose ye THIS DAY whom ye shall serve, for soon it will be too late. As certain and as truly as My name is the name in
which every knee shall bow, as truly as My throne is established in righteous judgment, I swear by My holy name: I will not
let these injustices committed by My wayward children go unpunished. There will be no excuse. There will be no weaseling
out of the responsibility and the guilt by lamenting, "Oh, but we were deceived! Satan has sent his emissaries to join our
ranks and has deceived us. He has lured us away from the true path with his riches, with his splendor, with his lies and
temptations!" Nay, but I will say unto them: "But I have sent you My prophets, to whom you would not listen! I have given
you My Words, but you would not hear. You hardened your hearts every time You heard My voice in your conscience, you
chose the easy way, the selfish way every time.
Oh, yes, you gave a little bit of your money to your church, and you will be rewarded if this money was used to support
missionaries who helped others to find Me. But what is that, compared to what you could have given, compared to what
you could have done? You called Me, Lord, Lord... every Sunday in your church, but I wasnt your Lord. I was not your
God. The god you trusted in was the god of this world, the god of money, the god of mammon, the gods of pleasure, your
own bellies, your own luxuries. For if I would have been your God, you would have sacrificed these things unto Me, you
would have laid them on the altar, in order to help others to find Me, those, who knew Me not, those who were waiting,
starving and freezing for My Word, for My gospel from your hands. Instead you tried to pay Me off with a little here and a
little there... just enough to stop your conscience from burning like a prick in your sides. Just enough to deceive you into
thinking that you were so good, so much better than those godless, ignorant, uncultivated non-Christians, those heathen,
those pagans. You have turned My creation into hell; they didnt! You have exploited the poorer nations of this Earth; they
didnt. You professed to have known better, claimed to possess the exclusive truth; they didnt. Well, it turns out you
missed an important part of that simple truth of Mine: Love!" (I:47)

Most church Christians are so suspicious of the devil in every spiritual matter, they reject the gifts of the Spirit altogether!
(I:76)

Nothing makes you as sick of lukewarmness, as being handed or fed a good mouthful of it yourself by someone else, and I
sure hope its gonna make you hate it!
Its a problem when people read the Word but only pick out whatever they like or appeals to them and sort of ignore the
heavy-duty stuff, or say that wont apply to them.
There comes a time in every life, when they see where they erred and failed to see the truth.
99
In the end, there are going to be 2 in the field, one with My true anointing, one without...
When I return, there will be shiners and shamers. Keep in mind what youll want to be on that day, and keep working
toward that goal: becoming a shiner for Me. Its nothing you can work up in the flesh, but it can be achieved by faithfulness
to Me. (I:245)

One of the greatest proofs of your love you can give Me is to share Me with others. Not like the jealous, prudish, selfish
and possessive church Christians who hardly ever mention Me, much less share Me with anyone else. No wonder they
dont believe in sharing. They dont even share their faith. (I:264)

The churches get people saved and then tellem they can stay living right where they are, the same way they always have,
just try to be a good sample... (I:347)

I dont want you to be part of that System, or established to the point where you think you have to watch out for your
reputation. I want you to burn free and be liberated from clichs of prestige and worrying about being accepted. Its
lukewarmness and man-pleasing and everything I abhor. (I:363)

That "show-business" type of gospel, the "show must go on" type of holy roller theme, unfortunately isn't entirely honest
and truthful, not with themselves, and not with others. It's not the same as the blessing it is to have around someone who
is truly humble and filled with My true wisdom, which is considerate and giving, instead of demanding and taking.
"The hare never made it, but the tortoise did", and a little crippled boy like Tommy can accomplish "more" in My eyes, and
in the aspects of real, genuine love, than many a great flashy evangelist and flaming prophet who only stumbles others
with his unloving sample and testimony of grandeur, display of self that's lacking honest-to-God truth and humility. (I:551)

Most of the churches antagonize you, reject you and despise you. But why is that? Is it because they are more righteous
than you? They may think that, but that's only because they are deluded and deceived. In reality, they are the fornicators
and adulterers, whoring and compromising with the System.
They did not "come out from among them," nor did they ever "forsake all that they have" so that they could be My disciple,
nor do they know what this means, that "all who will live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution"! To whom do those
Scriptures apply? Who are the just that live by faith? Who are the called out ones, hated by all nations for My name's
sake? (I:587)

Even My very own people, if they don't stay close to Me, can stumble, and become the very opposite of what they were
supposed to be, and become My very enemies!
Anyone who doesn't stay close to Me can turn into an old bottle, and they can move from the arena into the grandstands,
turn from martyr into persecutor, if they don't watch out!
As soon as any person or group of "chosen ones" came to the conclusion that they were anything of themselves, they lost
it, and became just one more curse instead of a blessing.
Don't allow yourself to become a persecutor, instead of the persecuted. The line between potentially becoming either a
Cain or an Abel is very thin.
People who take it for granted that naturally, they're the "righteous ones" aren't aware of the danger of how easily they can
fall and turn into My very enemies if they don't watch out. That's why so many of My people wind up doing more harm than
good at times, because they simply don't stay desperate enough to make sure that whatever they do is because of Me and
through Me, instead of some of their own holiness and righteousness or goodness that they think they have.
The danger comes in when you think of yourself or your particular group as the only right ones and righteous ones. Then
I'll often allow you to make some mistake or blunder to remind you it's not you, but I that makes you anything, and I may
even allow somebody else to walk around with the anointing that had been ordained for you, just to show you it's still Mine
to give, to whoever I choose, yea, even to My former enemies, if need be. Look at Paul - a classic case of persecutor
turning into the persecuted, which, of course, is the version that's more to be desired than the other way around! (II:145)

With the state Christianity has been in for the longest time, it's really no wonder that people can't possibly imagine that
that's where the answer's supposed to be, and you can't really blame'em for choosing to rather look for it at the other end.
(II:196)

That's why the churches inspire hardly anyone to give their lives for My Cause: they don't live it themselves, and instead
most of them seek their own agenda. What is your agenda? Who are you promoting? Who are you in it for? (II:210)

Many spiritual novices in the churches, who stand there in their pulpits, pretending to know what they're talking about
when they haven't got a clue about Me, they don't know at all what I'm like, nor have many of them ever even touched Me
and come to experience Me, the way I need you to if you're going to do My works. (II:299)

God reveals Himself to the world through His church, My body, My bride. If My church is that important, this is one of the
factors the devil is going to try to fight the hardest.
Make your Christianity a Real Thing! (II:315)

There are too many people getting tripped off with the pretty fringes and frameworks of Christianity and the Christian life
while neglecting the essence of it. Everybody's busy working on their presentation of their Christ, their individual little
version of Me, instead of just plainly presenting Me, period! - While time is running out! (II:358)
100
I want to give My disciples a life lived in fullness and abundance, but some Christians tend to take this to the extreme and
go overboard on this and actually tend toward downright covetousness and greed. That was not what I had meant, and the
church will have to pay for this by destroying its name - besmirching My name and the name of Christianity and branding
Me and My followers in general as something that I am not, never was, and certainly didn't intend for My church to be.
(II:359)

Sandcastle Christians build their houses on the shifting sands of disobedience.

Show the world a house built on the rock of actually doing what I say! (II:361)

A lot of people are allowing the devil to steal away from them many an opportunity for them to see and glorify Me in things
that they are afraid of and think are evil, and many an opportunity to use these things as a witness. Some people's concept
and discernment of what is good and what is evil is slightly distorted.
in My eyes, the reluctance of wealthy Christians to share their wealth with the poorer nations of the world, and to really
make a difference, is more evil than what some of them point their finger at and shout about. They who know their Father's
will and did it not will be beaten with more stripes than those who knew it not.
Christianity only makes sense if you put Me in the middle of it as the sum of all hope for any positive outcome of the whole
thing. Christians are generally lacking to make the difference they could and should, which is sad, and a lot of it is due to
compromise with the world.
Just because someone isn't a Christian doesn't necessarily mean they're further away from the truth than some Christians.
Just because someone isn't a Christian doesn't mean one cannot be a fighter for truth and for a just and righteous cause,
against the evil in this world, much of which is perpetrated by those who claim to know Me. But if they would read and
believe My Word and take it to heart, they would know that just claiming to know Me doesn't do the trick, but the way they
treat each of the least of My brethren determines how much of a Christian they really are.
Don't worry about accomplishment and achievement. What's more important, is - as I told My disciples - that your
righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees, that your sample is a better one than that of phony and
hypocritical church Christians, that your faith is something more real and living than false and dead religion! (II:413)

Sometimes you have to look beyond the fact that church Christians aren't like you, just as you have to look past the
differences between you, and just embrace and look at the message.
I'm conveying some of My most life-altering truths to you through people from other churches and denominations, and if
that applies to books, why couldn't it also apply to songs?
Most of what the churches have to offer is stale, shallow and brittle, but there are also exceptions, and - just as among the
Pharisees of My time - those who are not "far from the Kingdom" (Mark 12:34). (II:420)

You can only be a prophet who calls out others to "come out from among them," if you have been "called out" yourself,
first, and have obeyed the call, and have exited from the whorish System. It's like what I told My followers about the
Pharisees: what they tell you, this do, but don't do as they do, for they may say it, but they do it not!
You can't really follow them, because there is nowhere to follow.
Which body do you want to follow: the dying corpse of the old pharisaical church, or the vibrant, new and young body of
My called-out ones? (II:431)

It's the act of receiving and drinking in that makes a true believer out of you, an act way too difficult for someone too full of
themselves to sit still and listen, too self-sufficient to be needing anybody's advice or help.
They're the type of believers like Cain, who get angry at anyone insinuating that they can't do it on their own. They've got
to do it their way. They make their sacrifices to Me in their own way, they sacrifice what they deem worthy of being a
sacrifice: not that which I would really like, but some self-created effort of their own hand, some product of their hands and
sweat they can take pride in and show off before Me and the whole world: "behold what I have accomplished!"
They want admiration for what they've already accomplished, they want the praise and applause of the people, like Saul,
instead of obeying and hearkening. They already know it all, so "What could that old prophet tell me, that I don't already
know, anyway?"
There have - throughout history - none been so blind and deceived as those who thought themselves to be enlightened
and able to see. After all, those who claim to have already found the truth are the ones who oppose and try to drown out
My true voices, not those who are still seeking and groping around in the dark.
It's much more comfortable for them to concoct their own "truth." It makes a lot more sense to them than My humiliating
truth, which always says the exact opposite of what their pride and their flesh, their carnal mind tells them.
Those who refuse to drink in, to wholeheartedly receive My truth, are they who have heard My Word and received the seed,
but then the enemy distorts it in their mind and turns it into some gospel of their own, one which won't oppose him, but
will live in peaceful coexistence with all he stands for, and thus, will always sooner or later begin to work against Me. (II:448)

You have a higher calling than just to tickle other believers' ears and make them feel more comfy with their compromising
existence of acceptance of half-truths and deceptions and following the Whore of false religion and spirituality down to
destruction. (II:461)

Rivers are really good examples of My churches: some of them are polluted, and you dare not drink their water or bathe in
them. Others are good and clean to enjoy at the places where they are young, and as they flow on, they also become
victims of pollution. Then others have been known to be polluted in the past, but have been cleansed since. There are tiny
101
little rivers of pure, fresh and clean water, which hardly anybody knows, and there are mighty, raging rivers, which give life
to many. (II:468)

I was and am more serious about "loving your enemies" than you may have thought.
Unfortunately, Christians wage war against their enemies, while promoters of witchcraft preach a message of peace,
forgiveness and loving your enemies, in this upside-down world.
This is, of course, part of the devil's plan, to show that his scheme 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. (II:476)

Even though they claim to know My name, and they claim to know Me and claim that they're part of Me, they are not, for
they have despised and rejected Me for this world. They've gone the way of compromise, the way of the flesh. They have
not had eyes for the spirit, all they could see was the carnal, they never clung to My Word, the Source of life.
They find themselves fighting against God, and haven't become aware of it. They think they're in the right. Their own cause
is all the cause they need, their own right, their own truth the only one that counts to them. (II:587)

The majority of American Christians are Americans primarily, and Christians secondarily, which isn't being much of a
Christian at all, because either you follow in My footsteps as a pilgrim and stranger in this world, or you might as well
forget about the whole thing and stop pretending you're something you're not. Being proud of your country and at the
same time professing to be a Christian is hypocrisy, because it's like claiming to be fighting for one side while advertising
the Enemy at the same time. It's treason.
If you're a nationalist, you worship the flesh, you're bound to carnal ties, and you've been duped by the Enemy to fall into
the pride of life, instead of having been freed by My truth and My Spirit to be someone who is not of this world, and You
can't be a true and sincere Christian and a flag-waving nationalist of any of the wicked nations of this world at the same
time! You're either advertising this world, or Me, the Alternative to this world, you can't do both. You can't advertise God
and Mammon. You can't serve two masters. (II:591)

Some are just not interested in finding out what I have to say to shut up long enough to listen. The "god" they
communicate with is just an extension of their egos, something they wish for Me to be. That happens to a lot of self-
righteous people. That's why I said in My Word that I would have to say to a lot of people who claim to have been doing
this and that in My name, "I never knew you." They never knew Me, and I never knew them. All they thought they knew was
a figment of their imaginations, an extension of their own desires and what they figured I ought to be. Very few - in
comparison - actually really want to know Me. I'm too scary, too strange, too different for most of them. That's why there
are millions of Christians who reject the true prophets. They just use Me as a label they associate with, but they don't
really have much of a clue Who I really am. (II:626)

Its hard to trust sometimes, that a God of Love would ask you to do such irrational things, or would use such
unconventional methods, but thats why only those with great faith can really trust Me - and My Word, for that matter. Some
people consider the Abraham/Isaac episode an atrocity that doesnt really belong in My Word. They didnt really get the
point. But when you can trust Me for anything, thats what Id call faith.
Having asked him to make that sacrifice, and his willingness to follow through with it, altered everything and made him see
clearly, and put everything in the proper perspective. These manifestations of faith are there to bring home a point. And by
the result you can tell that it was My voice and My hand in it, after all, no matter whether all the voices in the world are
going to pipe up, It was wrong of God to ask that of you or to tell you that! Or, that was not the voice of God at all!, just
because it doesnt make sense to them or eludes the capacity of their faith.
The Enemy is not fighting them as hard, because theyre not nearly as big a threat to his cause as any of you are, who
embrace My full truth. The Enemy knows why he can freely let them loose on the world, because theyre not only working
for Me and My cause, but unknowingly also for his, which is what happens to a good many sincere Christians. (II:641)

The whole church system is still based on the sermon principle, while Im building My true Church on the principle of
becoming a living sample of the truth, just as I was a living sample, and all My true saints were samples of My love and
truth, more than just sermons.
There are enough teachers, preachers and speakers delivering sermons, but way too few guides who truly show the way
by walking therein themselves first... (II:646)

The church is merely a place where you can find Me, a group of people through whom others can find Me, and sometimes
by means of the very fact that My own people are so far from perfect. (III:41)

I'm what you've been looking for, not any group of people, not any church. But when some people find Me, they don't fully
embrace Me... They want Me on a safe, mental pedestal where they think they've "got Me" where they want Me, but I won't
get too close to do anything beyond their control...
They want to be in control... exactly what Satan promised in return for disobedience: "Ye shall be as gods." In other words:
"You can be in control yourselves! You don't have to follow and obey this God that you don't really know what He's up
to..."
When it comes down to it they really only want to do their own thing. But they figure they better make some kind of a deal
with Me, some peace treaty, in which they pretend to be on My side, so that I won't do anything that might cross their
plans, and so that they can have somebody to blame when their plans don't work out. (III:46)

102
Some people take themselves too seriously, especially in the field of religious service. Pride has a heyday there, which is
why envy and jealousy - spiritual jealousy - are rampant in the churches, and why I can often rather use simple-minded
folks who are not so stuck on themselves. (III:51)

The sterile, pseudo-spiritual Pharisaical church Christians think that by staying out of the dirt and never stooping to the
depths of getting your hands dirty with some mundane task, much less any such dirty affairs as sex, they stay spiritually
clean. What they don't realize is that the worst rot possible is coming from within themselves. They may keep covering up
their mess with an outer garment of apparent cleanliness, distract from their own spiritual stench by constantly pointing at
the sins of others, or even making sins out of acts which are none in My eyes, but they can't deceive Me, nor anyone else
who sees things as they are in the Spirit. They're like naughty children who constantly run away from their parents when
Mama wants to put on a fresh diaper.
Covering up and pretending the mess isn't there and pointing fingers at others won't help. Cleaning up is what life is
largely all about. (III:56)

Of how much guilt do you believe My sacrifice was capable of cleansing you?
Some folks prefer to still take some of the load on their own shoulders.
They insist on carrying part of the burden themselves, they are addicted to the flesh to the extent that they need and want
to do part of the works in their own energy and strength.
They cling to the lies of the Devil that they're not good enough, that they must first obtain some level of goodness before
they are worthy of receiving all My gifts to the full.
But it's not goodness that would "earn" them My blessings, but faith. Faith and humility. The faith to receive, and the
humility to accept it, that there's nothing you can do on your own to make you any more worthy.
They cling to the letter of the Law, rather than to the Spirit. They're living on the fringes, and not from the true center. They
don't allow Me to become their True Center. All they want is the fringes, the skeleton, the frame that holds the construction
together: a form of godliness without the power thereof. A facade, really. That's what the church system is all about: pretty
buildings that look nice and fancy on the outside, "pretty" Christians that look nice and "clean" and "proper" on the
outside, but you dare not look inside.
They're the type of people who made sure the Romans had Me crucified. Without ever getting their own hands dirty, yet
they were the ones guilty of My blood. Pilate made it pretty plain to them that he refused to take that responsibility when he
washed his hands before them, and he was more righteous in My eyes than they were.
This is hard for you to grasp, but there are unbelievers who are more righteous in My eyes than some Christians.
It is the true law, the "moral law" that's written in every man's heart; the law of love, and the degree to which every man
obeys it, that determines how righteous he is, not all those ridiculous little rules and laws they come up with themselves.
You will only be judged and rewarded by the amount of love you had for others, you will be judged by the Law of Love, not
any man-made rules about adultery and fornication. The amount of love is what counts. The amount of love you give is
what will count toward your degree of righteousness; and the lack of love you display and manifest will be on the other
side of the balance.
Are you making people feel loved? Are you making it easy for them to love? Or are you putting heavy burdens on them,
that in the final analyses spell out nothing else than: "thou shalt not love"? Which is precisely what those hypocrites are
doing by forbidding to marry, which is and remains a doctrine of devils, whether the person has been married before or
not, and whether the person has decided to become a priest or not. Forbidding anyone to marry, to give them a chance to
manifest that bond of love between two people that it might result in fruit that I have ordained, is a doctrine of devils, who
gleefully rejoice at the deception they have wrought in those self-righteous hearts, that made love for yet two more people
impossible (see 1Tim.4:1-5).
That's what I would call sin! To put a stop to all that love that I could be pouring from one person into another and back
and forth through their loving union - made impossible by some outrageous and preposterous law of man, concocted by
the Devil himself: "Thou shalt not love! It's against our rules!"
What bondage! What cruelty! What guilt those self-righteous servants of Satan heap upon themselves, deceiving
themselves into believing that they're actually doing Me service with their hypocrisy, their spiritual crimes, their lack of
love and the self-righteous hatred they sow!
As I said "Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees," I say "woe" unto them!
If I remain the Same, yesterday, today and forever, you can be assured that I have not changed in this aspect! Just as I
condemned the self-righteous Pharisees of My days, so do I condemn those of today, even if they call themselves
"Christians." They are the ones of whom I said," Depart from Me, I never knew you!" They never knew Me, and I never knew
them! Their hearts are far from Me, although their lips may praise Me, but their praise is dead - killed by their works, which
are not works of love, but works of self-righteousness, of pride, and thus, of hatred.
They justify their hatred, their killing of the innocents and poor by relying on Me, thus besmirching My name before the
world, making Me a God unworthy of anyone's faith, only worthy to be mocked, despised and rejected. They are the ones
who crucify Me afresh every day. For not only do they reject My sacrifice for themselves by insisting on leaning on their
own righteousness for the "preserving of their salvation" (as if any such thing were possible), but they also rob salvation
from others, leave them in eternal insecurity. Satan rejoices in them as his greatest feat yet, ever! The perfect deception!
The perfect "Christian" cloak, for the perfect satanic and diabolical plot! (III:60)

There have been certain periods and "golden eras" during which My church enjoyed a certain popularity, but they were few
and far between, and often rather due to some compromise with the existing systems of the world which consequently
brought My judgment upon them, and the eventual downfall of their glory. (III:80)

103
Personal witnessing has always been more effective than the mass witnessing and preaching of the churches. I operate
one-on-one, and you must really adopt that style, too.
"Preacher Syndrome," that urge to stand before a crowd and talk or sing: the kind of "show business" that Christianity has
developed into is a clich you've got to get rid of. That's one way in which pride and vanity become the hidden incentives
behind a lot of people's "good deeds." (III:90)

Too many of My supposed followers, too many so-called Christians don't act as I would, as I did toward them that are
without. They don't beckon them to come in, and so they're committing a greater sin than those they judge! They're
heaping greater guilt on themselves by pushing away from Me those who I love and who I long to come unto Me. (III:93)

"Whoso doeth the will of God," which is, to give to others, instead of selfishly taking from them, "the same abideth
forever." It's the eternal modus operandi, the one I have ordained from the beginning, the one from which mankind has
strayed, the one you must find the way back to and show others as well.
There are those who are supposed to be going My way and supposedly doing things My way, but have been tricked into
doing things the old carnal and selfish way again. That's why 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 whatever 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. (III:96)

It's easier to become like the churches than most people think. It just takes that seemingly insignificant sin of neglecting
Me, just underestimating the importance of Me in their lives and in the lives of others; just a tiny little mistake in the
proportions of priorities, one tiny little measure of emphasis too much on their own egos, which they stole from the
portion that actually belonged to Me, and the balance will come undone and things will start tumbling. (III:112)

Your attitude should be more one of anticipation than one of having already entered into rest and enjoying your rewards.
For this would be a false attitude, based on the deception many of My believers live in, in this world, that they think they're
just about in heaven already, and they can really lord it out over the rest of the world... Almost acting as if this earthly
kingdom of theirs were My eternal one.
Be thankful for every less-than-perfect day to remind you that this world is not your home, for too many of My believers
seem to have forgotten that, and seem to think that this is all the home they'll ever need... They know they'll have to leave it
someday when they'll die, and so they try to "bribe" Me with alms, and they try to reserve themselves a fancy spot in
heaven with their money. But when it comes to heavenly rewards, I can't judge anyone by how much they give, but by how
much they've got left and still could have given. (III:120)

Just keep seeing the truth through it all, and that's what can be the difference between you and church Christians with all
their highly sophisticated technical equipment to keep their show-business Churchianity on the road: your simply saying it
the way it is, saying what's essential, without all the other big ado about it. (III:122)

God would not be God, nor would He be righteous, if He only allowed nominal Christians into His Kingdom, who - although
they were supposed to have known the truth - lived a worse sample of what I stood for than some or even many of those
who claimed not to believe in Me, because they didn't want to be part of the hypocrites.
Can you blame anyone for not wanting to be a Christian today with the sample that Christians at large give to the world?
Just as it is said "he is not a Jew that is outwardly a Jew" (Rom.2:28) - in the flesh, so I will also say, he is not a Christian that
is outwardly a Christian, in name and in title only. (III:123)

Some people let their egos stand in the way of what I really want to do, but they don't realize it. They think their program is
Mine. That's what happens when I have become nothing else but an extension of their own ideas of Me in their minds, but
they're not really in touch with the real Me, they don't really have the real thing, and consequently, the work cannot take off,
because people just fail to see My Spirit at work, but merely see a bunch of guys running around in their own steam... the
same as they see anywhere else: in politics, in the churches... (III:145)

Just as I said to those who listened to Me during My time on earth, "Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes
and Pharisees...," I say to you now that unless your love exceeds that of the lifeless, loveless goers-through-the-motions,
it will be of no avail!
I will resurrect My dead church, but I need those who will wake them up!
If the salt of the earth should lose its flavor, what is it going to be good for? If you don't make a difference anymore, and
add some spice to that lifeless, tasteless System, then what good is it?
You're not going to touch or change anybody's life, unless you can show clearly by your behavior and the light in your
eyes that you're different and truly have something else to offer than the lifeless rut they've got!
One of the worst things you could possibly do to Me is to conform to the way others are doing things, thinking you've got
to please them and live up to their expectations...
They're doing their job, and I will bless them and reward them for that. But you've got a different job! (III:155)

"Many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of
Heaven. But the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness" (Matth.8:11,12). The children of the Kingdom
often take the Kingdom for granted and despise it, while those who yearn for it from afar treasure it.
104
Didn't I come to establish a new Kingdom and do away with and abolish the old? What then if those of the new kingdom
are deceived into thinking that the old is still valid, as many Christians do and practically worship the Jews? They worship
the flesh...
Just as it was the Jews, the "children of the kingdom" of then, who persecuted Me and had Me killed, so it is the "children
of the kingdom" of today who most seek to harm you.
They never knew Me, and I never knew them. While many from the east and west, from other religions and cultures, readily
receive you and Me.
Just as "He is not a Jew who is one outwardly" (Rom.2:28, 29), so he is not a Christian that is one outwardly only, and not as
he should be, inwardly, worshiping in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
The old church has always mocked and persecuted the new one.
The large gist of those who call themselves My people are continuing to lead the world astray into the worship of
Mammon, the ways of self, the glory of the flesh and the worship of the things they create with their own hands...
My Spirit and My grace, and the Father's love are a lot more all-embracing and all-encompassing than many so-called
Christians and even sincere Christians would give Him credit for. Their philosophy remains one of separation and shutting
others out, while My call has always been, "Come!" Whoever is athirst, let him come and drink of the waters of life freely!
(III:164)

There is a deep chasm between those belonging to the top, the officially recognized church, accepted by the System,
which has become an integrated part of the System and even one of its major symbols and perpetrators of its evils, and
those who belong to the bottom, the downtrodden, despised and persecuted church: the ones may have their time of
"reign" and enjoyment in this life, but the others will have theirs in the life to come, when those who reign now will have to
pay the consequences for having chosen to look down upon My truly chosen...
With their lukewarm, sickening ways of worship, their sickening love for the System, their dreadful desire to always be on
top along with the winners, and refusing to walk the path I walked, the path of the apparent loser, their clinging to this
world's riches and their positions in the devil's matrix, theyre really not amounting to much more than a bunch of traitors
at heart, spiritually, because in reality, they're following him and his lies, instead of My unadulterated truth.
As I told you about rivers: the further downstream you get, the harder it is to maintain it clean, and as far downstream as
the church has gotten, you can sure see a lot of pollution in it.
The short-sighted will always prefer their place among the ranks of the mighty, the apparent winners. Only a few and only
the wise will choose a place among the despised and downtrodden minority, but will find Me there among them... (III:199)

When you've got this bunch of worldly believers hailing Me like their superstar and absolute hero, while at the same time
acting as if all they're interested in lies in this temporary world, it doesn't jibe. That's what's wrong with the church system.
They think I'm some kind of a cool Dude who can enhance their quality of life both in this world and in the one to come,
bliss here and now and forever, have their cake and eat it, too. They totally ignore all the information about the price that
there is to pay, and thus give a totally wrong picture of what it's supposed to mean to be My disciple...
I admit, the deception is very tempting. Who wouldn't choose the comfortable way? The flesh automatically chooses that
which feels good and is pleasurable... Nobody suffers voluntarily. But what price are you willing to pay for your
comfortable life-style? Who and what are you going to betray?
Set your affections on things above, seek to derive your pleasure and satisfaction from the very Source of Life, from Me!
(III:214)

With each Christian Family living their own individual lives in their own individual houses and homes, one most certainly
misses the union that ought to be there in Christianity, as found in the Book of Acts.
The enemy advertises the self as an entity worthy of attention that quasi amounts to worship, in order to satisfy it and
make it "happy," and even availing yourself of Me, My Word and My truth - although only a fragment and watered-down
version of it - in order to achieve that goal, which amounts to supermarket style religion: picking out certain pleasant
truths, and leaving aside the more unpleasant ones, just serving yourself of the goodies My Word has to offer, and
neglecting the convicting truths that would spur you on to change, sacrifice and action.
The devil just allows them a tiny little bit of My truth and mixes it with a lot of his own poison of selfishness, and his lie of
the nationalistic version of the "greater cause."
Some folks are just self-oriented, even if they are saved, and in that aspect, they're not really living their salvation, not
really making it work for them nor others in this life, but can actually act counter-productively in relation to My Cause.
(III:228)

There have been many who pretended to be advertising and working for Me, but in the end really only put the emphasis on
their own thing, their own church, or their own name, their own TV program, etc. (III:244)

I allow a lot of "irrational" things My enemies don't understand. Why do I seemingly bless those Christians so much, when
they're so out of it, so selfish, so cruel to their fellowmen, so concerned about their own things? Well, I do apply My rod of
correction in due time, but they're also all I've got. Who else will listen to Me? Who else will come and spend time with Me?
I'm even thankful for that one hour on Sunday mornings.
Sure, it's peanuts, compared to what they could and probably should be offering Me, but I'm still so grateful for whatever I
can get, that I still gladly provide for them, protect and bless them, just as I have provided for you and blessed you... (III:257)

I need you to show the world that there is another level of spiritual maturity to attain.
Show them an alternative to immature Christianity! (III:271)

105
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!
Recognize their style, even if it may be different from yours.
I don't mind you using yours. But please also allow others to use theirs. Be encouraging of their style of doing things,
even if it's different from yours and the way you would have done it. Otherwise you're back to the same problem of narrow-
mindedness that the churches and Pharisees refuse to face. (III:293)

In order to get on the prophetic channel you have to go one step higher than the usual level of inspiration that you are on
when you write a letter to someone.
That's what people don't realize about Paul's epistles: As devout a man of God that he was, and as full of My Spirit he may
have been, most of his writings were not direct prophecy. So, a lot of those churches, who take everything he ever wrote
as the pure and direct Word of God, are actually making the very mistake Paul warned his followers of: not to become
Paulites, followers of Paul, or of Apollos, or of Peter, etc., but followers of Me.
They don't seek Me for My new and living words, they're building their lives on the writings of a man - however divinely
inspired he 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.
That's why their faith is practically dead, a hollow shell, compared to what it could and should be.
They aren't even aware of the fact that I'm still speaking today, but feeding nearly entirely off the food I gave millennia ago.
You're building on a new and clean foundation, free of the leaven of the Pharisees.
Relying on their own strength of the flesh, their own justice and so-called righteousness, they put themselves miles above
others, taking the right to exterminate them, totally ignoring all I ever stood for.
Through their self-righteousness they kill the whole Spirit of what My teachings are supposed to be all about.
It's what leads other peoples and nations of the earth to detest that image of Christianity that America is conveying to the
world. It's simply appalling when any one nation or group of people is so utterly incapable of recognizing their own faults,
constantly self-righteously pointing their finger at others.
No responsibility is ever taken. How are they ever going to learn and grow and mature spiritually as a movement or a
church? (III:294)

I always took every opportunity I got. If they let Me preach in a Synagogue, I would do it, but of course, they usually
regretted it afterwards, since I didn't always exactly preach according to their liking.
So, it's not as if I'm telling you, "Stay away from church people!" But I need you to be aware of the "leaven of the Scribes
and Pharisees," and the differences between the gospel of bondage they're preaching, and yours, of true liberty.
Your natural tendency is to shun the condemnation they're trying to heap on you, but on the other hand, you need to allow
them to make their decisions, and let them come forward with their accusations in order to expose themselves. If you're
trying shield yourself from their self-righteous attacks, then the truth about them won't come out. The difference between
you and them will not be manifest.
Its pretty hard to recognize sometimes. Even My disciples didn't have a clue what I meant with "the leaven of the Scribes
and Pharisees" (Mt.16). They thought I was talking about bread. Only as time went by and history unfolded before their
eyes, the Pharisees saw to it that I was crucified, and later they witnessed the stoning of Steven, the rage of Saul, before
he was converted, etc., then they got the point, and realized the difference, between the dead and empty religion of the
Pharisees, and the powerful, new way of life I had brought into the world.
All I'm asking you is to preach the Word.
No big, fancy, wonder-group or wonder-church with light shining from everybody's faces, that would make it so easy to
just drag people there by the dozen.
Stop seeking that which attracts the wrong kind of attention! A lot of those guys are into Christianity because it's being
made so darn easy for them. "Join the in-crowd!" "Here, in our cool American church, we're all so happy together, and
you'd be a fool not to want to join us, because we're the kings of the world, and we're all happy and dance and sing and
love Jesus!" "You can have heaven here and now and later, too!"
That bread is baked through and through with the leaven of the Scribes and Pharisees. It looks very yummy and inviting.
So much bigger, sweeter and more tasty than what you've got, that relatively lean and flat loaf of bread baked without any
of the leaven of inflated egos and "better than thou" self-righteousness. (III:296)

The devil has many church Christians distracted with his war games in which they're pretending to be fighting evil, or
duped into fighting for him, while they think they're fighting on My side.
He knows he doesn't have to worry about those lukewarm church people; he's practically got them in the sack. He couldn't
stop them from becoming Christians, but he was sure successful at stopping them from ever being anything like
revolutionary Christians.
They just did what they have always done: clear the heathen temples of their idols, put a few crosses in them and convert
them into "Christian temples," never ever paying heed to the fact that I don't dwell in temples made with hands, but that
the Father seeks to be worshiped in spirit and truth.
They just took the heathen idols out of their part of the System, replaced them with Christian symbols and idols, and called
it "Christianity," all the while never having to leave their comfortable situation in the System.
They have their "presidential prayer teams" praying for the troops who are slaughtering the innocents by the tens of
thousands. No wonder the world is getting sick of Christianity. If that's Christianity, I don't want to have anything to do with
it, and I don't. They're going to have to reap the repercussions and consequences of their actions themselves, and they
will have to bear My "Depart from Me, ye workers of iniquity, for I never knew you." (III:308)

106
Teaching people to defend only their own, individual "territory," their own personality, is good and needed, but the devil
isn't nearly as scared of this rather selfish approach as he is of one honest soul winner, who is not interested in fixing up
and improving himself, but lays down his life in order for others to be saved.
Success-type Christians don't get their hands dirty like that. It doesn't look good.
The art of spiritual self-defense on an individual level cannot be compared to the universal spiritual warfare.
You may look miserable, lying there in the trenches, in the mud, dirty, stinking and uncomfortable, fighting life-and-death
combat on the dark battle fields of this world, compared to the nice and shiny practice of spiritual self-defense of those
sheltered people in their ivory towers, in their clean white (spiritual) judo suits.
But when it comes down to handing out the medals to the ones who will have been instrumental in winning the global and
universal war for Me, you can imagine, which type of warfare will have had the greater impact.
Not being aware of the greater spiritual warfare can become a dangerous illusion and deception: you think that just
because you get a grip over your personal problems and the evil manifested in your own life, the world is going to be a
better place from now on, and the devil isn't really up to anything else, like taking over the world, preparing the world for
his own world order, and the final implementation of his mark.
All the attention is drawn toward overcoming personal problems - which is all good and has its place - but there is no
focus whatsoever on the evil the devil is perpetrating in the rest of the world. The attitude behind that is, "Let the rest of
the world go to hell, as long as we can save ourselves."
All those good works look nice, but what are all those good works compared to one immortal soul snatched away from the
claws of the devil?
What are all those nice and spiritually groomed Christians trained in the art of self-defense going to do against the flood of
evil that is sweeping the rest of the world? What are they doing in order to really establish My Kingdom on Earth, apart
from fixing up their own individual little kingdoms?
When it comes to truly offering the world an alternative to its Godless and ruthless System, then the truth does look
somewhat different than the picture these people portray, and their picture differs largely from the one not only I see, but
also the reality of billions of other people, who might not be able to afford their 4-step self-improvement programs,
however divinely inspired they may be. (III:325)

Being a Christian is all about Me. It's not about how good or bad your fellow Christians are, but it's about the Christ, the
One Who came to clean up everything, no matter how big the mess is that everyone else made, including out of this mess
called Christianity today. (III:342)

The churches are such a dilemma and such a farce because they just don't have the love! They've been trying to do My
work without love! And how can you do My work - the work for the One Who is Love - without love? How can you do good
without goodness in your heart? How can a loveless tree bring forth fruits of love? (III:358)

You know that this isn't the way things are supposed to be. You may not know what to do about it, any other than coming
to Me in desperation, but that's at least something... It's something for Me to work with, for starters.
At least I can convey My view to you, at least you're crying out to Me for help... anything but sink into the morass of the
self-satisfied complacency of the pseudo-Christian System junkies. (III:366)

My true church has always been an Underground church in this world. (III:401)

Most Christians say, We shall not see any sorrow. Gods going to whisk us into Heaven before the Tribulation comes.
But My children need to pass through the Tribulation in order to be cleansed and purified from their sins, from their many
lacks and ways in which they are failing to love Me truthfully, genuinely and sincerely.
Part of loving Me is manifested in loving the truth, and not settling for any comfortable half-truth and compromise with the
truth, such as the easy-way-out Pre-Tribulation-Rapture doctrine.
They want Me to whisk them out of this world and into Heaven before the Tribulation that would make them clean and pure
and white for Me. They want the easy way out; they dont want to go the full length of the path for Me.
They deny others the right to their Salvation and the security of eternal Salvation, because they couldnt bear the thought
that they should be so much less than special to have to share Heaven with all those other seemingly less deserving than
they.
They shut themselves and their followers off to the voices of truth and wisdom, so that their own voices will be heard, and
their own truths will be proclaimed instead. They want to establish their own rule, instead of allowing My Holy Spirit to
rule over them.
And they reject truths of My Gospel, such as forsaking all, having all things in common, and going into all the world to
preach the Gospel out of obviously selfish reasons, coming up with cheap excuses why I possibly couldnt demand such
sacrifices of them in this day and age. (III:433)

People who put Us in boxes and portray the Father as a moody God Who would one day consider someone saved and on
another day condemn them back to hell if they dont behave accordingly or dont keep the rules, they dont have any idea
how off they are, and how they are distorting the picture of Who He really is in peoples minds, and what amount of
damage theyre doing by creating this false image of Me.
The world doesnt need another group of people who preach that picture of a harsh, unforgiving and rigid God, but they
need to see Him as He really is: a merciful, forgiving, ever-pardoning God Whose heart is broken over the atrocities
committed unto man by those who claim to be on My side, when nothing could be further from the truth.

107
They have never known Me, and thus I have never known them. They dont know Who I am. And accordingly, they portray
and convey a false picture of Me to the world, and thats the idol I want you to tear down and destroy: the false image of Me
that others have created for the world. (III:434)

The main purpose of My Word is not just to instill some fleeting feeling and emotion of inspiration, like the folks in church
on Sundays are craving, but the main purpose of the truth is to ignite in others a faith that they can build their lives on.
The feeling isnt the goal, but the goal is the life you can build from the working relationship and the trust that it
engenders.
Thats marriage. Thats being My bride. Thats more than just being a visitor on Sundays and giving Me an occasional call
just to let Me know what you need. Thats receiving My seeds in you and allowing them to bring forth fruit in you from Me
with time. Thats being family. (III:438)

So, youre not cool. Relax, youre not the only one! Its not the end of the world! Youll survive not being cool or in,
or hip! Its bad enough that all those churchy Christian singers are trying so hard to be hip and friends with the
world. So, youre not a friend of the world, and maybe they label you as nutcase or weirdo! Thats the way it should
be!
You wouldnt want to be an accepted part of their world! Not by My standards, anyway. And as wonderful as some of those
Christian singers may be, the kind of signal theyre flashing out to the world is a deceptive one. Its a message that
conveys the notion that its okay to be hip and cool with the world and the System, and yet be My disciple at the same
time. You can be a star in this world, and a servant of God at the same time! You can serve God and Mammon, after all!
Never before was the way that leads to destruction and hell so broad and wide, and never before did so many walk in it!
Even a lot of saved people are walking down that same road to destruction, and to the perdition of all their works! The
only thing theyll save out of it will be their naked souls, but so as if through fire. (III:453)

Many have left My straight but rugged, wild and narrow path for the seemingly more sophisticated broadway to destruction
that the large majority of the world is going.
Whats really behind it is faith in this present world, rather than the better one to come, and love for this present world, that
causes the Demases to forsake Me and My Cause and My people the desire to have it all here and now, instead of
suffering a bit now in order to reign later. And the lie of the churches is, of course, the ultimate and very tempting
compromise: You can have both: fame and fortune here and now and in the afterlife! You can be a star, both, in this life
and in Heaven.
Well, but Im going to be the One to decide who is really going to go over as a star and who will shine like the
firmament in My Kingdom, and those compromisers that look so appealing and so together certainly wont be among
My true stars who gave it all up in order to lead many to righteousness.
You cant lead many to righteousness by singing exclusively to those who think theyre so righteous already. You certainly
wont become a star in Heaven by being a star among the lukewarm church of Laodicea, and reaping their applause! Its
easy to become partakers of her sin, and it happens more subtly than many realize. In fact, they dont. (III:463)

Unfortunately, sometimes, in the effort of setting out on this enterprise to give love to others, the immediate and
apparently more pressing task of obtaining what one needs in order to survive takes over the good intentions, and
occupies much more time and space than the actual giving of love The surrounding machinery becomes much bigger
than its core and original purpose, often to such an extent that it can hardly be found anymore.
Thus is the curse of organized religion, and why people simply arent attracted to it; because what most of them are
looking for is love, not organization. Now, if you manage to somehow organize your task of giving love to the world, thats
great. But realistically, what it looks like in most peoples lives is that the love gets buried beneath a pile of organizational
efforts to the point where only remnants of that love remain seen. (III:532)

There is a difference between the official, recognized and lukewarm version of Christianity, and the white-hot Real Thing!
(III:542)

If youre genuinely following My path, youll never have a big fan crowd.
Thats whats so deceptive about show-business type of Christianity. They make it look like you can be one of My true
disciples and yet a superstar at the same time. A lot of the things they say sound very anointed and right on, and possibly,
peoples lives are changed and genuinely touched through some of them. But ultimately, the way they lead others is just
another dead end street up Mammons road, another case of man worship and indulgence in the flesh, temple worship and
the creation of a new idol: yet another, even more cunningly disguised counterfeit of the Real Thing. (III:554)

The world is not in need of another few drops in a bucket, but it needs a raging river and lakes to swim in.
The world needs a lot more than what the churches have to give! (III:556)

A definite, literal interpretation of the Scripture (when they would all prefer to keep it in the theoretical, symbolic or
spiritual realm), would mean that they would have to implement Scriptures and apply them literally, which would require
drastic changes of their selfish life-style, since it would implicate that Christians are supposed to do more than just live
selfish lives and go to church every once in a while
Theyre hostile toward evangelical types who have enough fire to do something about their faith and go out to promote it,
those full of the Holy Ghost.

Just like the Pharisees of all ages, they persecute and fight against a small group and minority of believers that they brand
as culprits, and wind up fighting against Me in the process and sticking their finger in My eye. (III:593)

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,
theyre for My Action People. Those who want to be more than just the sermon type of Christian who goes to church
once a week to listen to the preacher and call that service to God. (III:598)

Love your enemies is the message, and a fairly important one, because this is what will truly make you stand apart as
true Christians, as opposed to those who sanction killing their supposed enemies (many of which have never done them
any harm), by the tens of thousands in far-away countries. (IV:3)

My Spirit sank down into the lowest regions of society and brought to life what formerly had no life, and caused those to
sing and shout My praises who did not know Me, as opposed to those who sit in their pews on Sundays and do pretend to
know Me, but praise Me with their lips only, while their hearts are far from Me.
Christianity hasnt done a fair job at representing Me for the last three quarters of its existence, with few exceptions here
and then.
And especially during this time, the age of temptation, which is heading for that final hour of temptation I have
announced in My Book of Revelation, it has been especially hard for My followers to remain separated and white-hot
revolutionary witnesses and uncompromising fighters for Me.
The church has never had such an arsenal of temptations to fight against. The devil is really giving it his all in this day and
age. The Early Church didnt have a fraction of all that to deal with that My followers are having to deal with today. (IV:85)

When Christianity was born, it came into a world that was ruled by an already stagnant empire, and it came as a force of
radical change, and it did change the world of its era. The devils forces tried to stamp it out for three centuries until they
realized that the only way to truly overcome this dangerous enemy was by joining them and infiltrating them from within,
causing Christianity to become a conservative force itself, instead of the revolutionary force of change and renewal it had
been up until that point. (IV:96)

Most Christians dont realize all the significant changes between the Old and the New Testament. They ignore the fact that I
was having conversations during My lifetime with such deceased saints as Moses and Elijah, as recorded in the Gospels,
and according to their standards, I would have had to be labeled a necromancer.
Theyre afraid of the spirit world, just as they are afraid of astrology, sex, or anything else that doesnt fit within the narrow
frame of their mindset which restricts My communications with mankind to the Bible only. Theyre afraid of virtually
anything except the most horrible thing of all, war, which on the other hand they condone and justify and claim that it may
be okay and justifiable to kill thousands, nay, millions, for a supposedly righteous cause or their supposedly Christian
nation.
They wont allow sex outside the frame of marriage, they wont allow people to be free from the fear of hell, but insist they
can lose their salvation anytime they sin; they wont allow people to find out more about their fellowmen via tools such as
astrology, but they do allow and condone for a Christian to go to war and kill thousands of innocent people for their
government, as long as it sails under any pretense of Christendom.
They deny their people access to the spirit world, deny them the gifts of the Spirit, including miracles,; they deny them
much of the knowledge about the Endtime, and deny them the privilege to live by faith like My original disciples, but they
sanction and condone their going to war to blatantly defy My commandment not to kill, but to love your enemies.
They deny their followers the freedom from the burden of the ten commandments and the Mosaic Law, which I came to
fulfill and thereby bring a new Law, the Law of Love, but at the same time they claim that its perfectly alright to continually
break the commandment, Thou shalt not kill in their innumerable wars in the name of Western enlightenment and
democracy.
They claim that it is righteous to break the commandment Thou shalt not kill, but it would be unpardonable to break the
commandment, Thou shalt not commit adultery. What hypocrisy, what a sick religion, and no wonder most of the rational
world doesnt want to have anything to do with it!
Just as the Jews have gone astray and have become a people that opposes Me and fights Me and hates Me, and have
continuously resisted My prophets, so the churches have become not fighters for My Cause as much as fighters against
My Cause on a large scale, by giving the world a false sample of what Christendom is supposed to be like, of what I am
truly like, and by resisting My new prophets and messengers throughout every era since the Early Church.
Most churches, which are part of the System, and dont even try to offer a way out of it, because they dont even see a
need for any way out of it.
They are lovers of the world, not lovers of Mine. They would condemn the practice of Loving Jesus as perverse or
obscene, while they all the while go a-whoring after other gods, the gods of this world, and they commit non-stop spiritual
fornication and adultery with this world.
Where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty, and they dont have liberty. They are slaves to the System and slaves of the
devils lies, just like everybody else. All they have is a pretense of freedom. (IV:102)

I warned My disciples to beware of the leaven of the Scribes and Pharisees A form of godliness without the power
thereof.
Youve got to maintain yourselves pure of their influences, and thats why I do not recommend listening to their music
excessively and consuming their brackish waters.

109
Every now and then there will be an exceptionally anointed and dedicated believer among them, but in general, the
description I gave 2000 years ago is still appropriate: lukewarm.
Money plays a big role in their lives, and preserving their living standard, so in their sample theyre actually defying My
message that you cannot serve God and Mammon, and that he that saveth his life shall lose it. (IV:103)

These people try to make it seem as if, Look, the path that Jesus was talking about doesnt always have to be that narrow
road It can also be that huge highway we have built and were riding down all together, and were having so much fun
They think its some kind of progress, and theyve converted My path into a comfortable, sociable road thats easily
traveled, just as easily and comfortably as the Systems. And it causes you to wonder Lord, could it be?
But you and I know that theirs is not the real thing!
If they would really have the real thing, they would recognize My voice when they hear it. And some do, but then they try to
get Me to tug along on their conventional way, their usual way, because they simply dont have the courage and faith to let
go of Conventional Road and follow Me up Revolutionary Road.
Some will be saved as if through fire, and their works will not stand before Me. They could have chosen the Real Thing
when they got a glimpse of it! They could have recognized Me in it and they could have sought to get more of it. But they
didnt really want it. It was too scary for them, and the other road looked much more inviting and comfortable And on
they travel on their usual, run-off-the-mill Conventional Road, pretty much the same way as everybody else, never really
making a difference for Me, no matter how much they may try to tell themselves that they are.
Its okay to sympathize with them, show your approval to some extent, but then its time again to follow Me and let the
dead bury their dead.
Sometimes I let you walk a piece of the way with them just to let you know that their way is not where its at, to let you see
the flaws in it, and where the differences are between what theyve got and the Real Thing.
A bold and convinced individual professing his love for Me might go further to inspire another individual to reach out to Me
than all the choirs and worship bands in the world. (IV:121)

In many cases Christians who believe in Evolution are really hypocrites, and not true believers at all, because their lives
are guided by and geared toward the teachings of Evolution and the survival of the fittest, rather than My teachings of
Blessed are the meek and merciful.
Fakes may be tastier and more attractive than the truth momentarily, but they fail to satisfy in the long run, and sooner or
later people will develop a taste and hunger for the Real Thing.
Thats why many people become Christians after having lived a life of atheism.
The problem is, the only version of Christianity they largely have available is largely just another fake in itself, and it takes
another while for them to get sick of that lie, and develop a hunger for the even deeper and more pure truth the truth and
nothing but the truth, no lies mixed in with it. (IV:132)

A lot of people have the attitude that whatever path they have found must be the right one, just because they have found it,
and they cling so tightly to that, which is really nothing more than an extension of their own selves in many cases, instead
of truly and wholeheartedly clinging to Me.
They try to get anybody to subscribe to and support their program, and they think they themselves are the center, instead
of letting Me be the true Center of their lives, thats why they hardly ever recognize it when someone is in their midst that
has truly made Me the center and most important Factor in their lives.
They usually only counter it with envy and resistance when they see it, because they know that there is something there
that they havent got themselves; they havent been willing to let go to that extent, they havent gone as far for Me or to
touch Me and lay all else aside
They say its their church or their thing thats the Real Thing, but as long as there is still a whole lot of System or ego
attached to it, it cannot be the Real Thing, because only I am the Real Thing, and the degree to which you become the real
thing, too, is determined by how much your life truly revolves around Me, and by how much you allow Me to really run and
rule and control your life, by how much time you spend with Me in a real, living relationship and really touch Me.
People put all this emphasis on their fellowship with each other, but in many cases its sad, because its really only a
substitute for a relationship with Me they could and ought to have. Only once that relationship with Me is established and
real, and you have regular fellowship with Me, does fellowship with each other also really start making sense and become
edifying and lifting up for anyone.
without Me you can do nothing even applies to fellowship. Without having touched and known Me personally, there isnt
much you can give or do to make anybody else really feel better, inspired or uplifted and strengthened, because all that the
contact with you will do for them is present a confrontation with another ego, just another wandering star adrift in this
world with nothing much to give, who just wants their own light to be seen and admired a little bit.
Whereas if you really and truly shine with My Light you have something to give, and you radiate a light and warmth that
truly makes others feel good, and gives them something. Youve got to have the fire of the Holy Spirit they can warm
themselves by.
And if thats lacking, if thats missing, what good is it? What is it worth? If its not Me youve got to give to people, to what
avail is it? If its not My Light you shine forth, isnt it just another version of the darkness? (IV:138)

Real Christianity, the way I originally intended it, is virtually unheard of in this day and age. (IV:232)

Just as Christianity was a break with the former confines of Judaism, so this day and age has brought many changes to
established and conventional Christianity. You cant even say that the truth, as I want it to be absorbed and lived by My
followers, would fit into this drawer thats conventionally described as Christianity. (IV:484)
110
Whatever input you give and whatever help you claim to have to offer, its got to be more than lofty theological advice, and
its got to be more and better than what people are used to from most churches. Even some of their own can see and
realize that God must be anywhere else but there (IV:493)

You think all the martyrs gave their lives just so that their successors would be able to live nice and comfortable lives in
this world?
The fact that so many Christians perceive their goal and mission in life to be successful in this world, almost makes their
sacrifices look like something that was in vain. The satisfaction of todays Christians with this present world nullifies the
martyrs sacrifice. (2011:84)

In nowadays Christianity they like to hide and cover up the sins of their saints and heroes, instead of like the Bible did
point them out as lessons for everyone to learn from. It creates the illusion that heroes and saints have got to be perfect,
and so those who want to attain to such a status believe that theyve got to be perfect, too, and since that cant realistically
be done, they try to get there by cheating, denial and deception.
People still prefer to follow rules: all the donts and things folks shouldnt do as believers, instead of following the Law
of Love, the new commandment I gave. They still prefer adherence to the letter of the law over My greater and supreme
Law, the only Law, as far as Im concerned: to love God and fellowman.
Their behavior and attitude says: I only accept you if you abide by the same rules I adhere to, in other words, if you
accept my own dogma. And thats basically why religion pitifully fails to bring peace on earth, to bring the parts
together, as it should, and instead further contributes to the worlds problems, in fact, as one of their major causes.
(2012:177)

Nowadays people stay more in their home countries They think this world is their home, when it used to be part of
Christianity not to believe that this world was their home, because its pretty much occupied and run by another (2014:52)

As a true, saved Christian you tune in Me, try to follow Me, and not so much your own desires according to your own
tastes. (2014:99)

Dont let the Hereafter be a shock to you, when as a Christian it ought to be the main thing a believer lives for!
Its one of the great advantages of the Christian faith.
As a Christian, part of the faith you have and virtually of the things you know, should be that the real life thatll really be
worth living, is the one hereafter. (2014:124)

Christians who mostly rely on themselves and the position theyve acquired in the System, dont necessarily give a lot of
others a chance or opportunity to find Me, when that should be what Christians and believers in Me ought to be doing
most of all! (2014:130)

The supposedly Christian institutions are not really as genuinely in any way representing Me as true followers of Mine
would be theyre mainly just getting folks turned off about Me and less receptive. (2015:76)

Making other things more important than material possessions well, you can tell from the way I lived, that thats
definitely more of My cup of tea, and something that will make more of a true follower of Mine out of you than that whole
bunch of materialistic Christians that are helping the enemy to turn the world against Me.
Seeing it as a curse to be living in a country completely ruled by materialism is a sign that youre more on My channel than
a lot of the supposed followers of Mine for whom income and money play a much larger role. (2015:150)

You shouldnt neglect that path of preparation for the Lasting Side, and not just make the temporal part down there the
main part, which unfortunately the majority of Christians do, yielding to the temptations of our enemy, whos trying to
make the temporal part the main and most important part, and managing to do so with the vast majority of believers!
(2016:133)

The biblical incident where the majority of prophets from the established system in Israel predicted peace and victory,
and My only true prophet, predicting its doom was thrown in jail, where he was finally taken out by the invaders and
conquerors is one of the sad examples of how far established religious systems can be off My track and even persecuting
My true followers and servants. So, dont be too astonished that youre one of the relatively few believers on the track of
preparation for the roughest time of history announced since thousands of years, but simply never welcomed by those in
power! (2016:137)

Many Christians dont have problems listening to the sermons on Sunday mornings. But doing and living what My Word
says is almost like an insurmountable challenge for many, if not most of them. (2016:143)

Be a living example and testimony of the extent to which Gods grace and mercy can work, which should bring more hope
to other sinners than the sanctimonious aspects and behaviors of the larger portion of Christians!
See, one of the things I want to use you for is as a demonstration of the extent of Our mercy way beyond that portrayed
by the average churches.

111
Its another major difference between true Christianity and Churchianity: the degree of mercy and forgiveness displayed
and experienced by both. (2016:198)

Its more important to be a sample than a living sermon. Another reason why Were not so fond of the established
churches.
Christianity today is more of a community that exists by spoken words instead of actions. (2016:208)

The devil will manage to eliminate My believers and followers from the face of the Earth, which he'll occupy for that time of
the end as a physical dictator, the Antichrist.
No wonder many Christians believe that I'll be coming back before that time to save them from it... It hardly seems
survivable for any folks, and practically and physically impossible.
So, if you want to make it, put Me to the test of how I handle the seemingly impossible! (17:49)

Theres a significant difference between what calls itself church and My true followers. Thats what makes the latter so
rare, and why true believers are so precious, like rare jewels, having a greater chance of making a definite difference than
those listeners to sermons once a week!
Theres so much more to followership than just listening and never doing much - if anything - according to whats just
been heard. While the sermons can be great, what good is it, if never put into action?
What if sermons about self-righteousness are being taught, but never a word of it truly absorbed and put into practice?
Who deserves more chastisement for disobedience? So, no wonder that judgment upon the church and so-called
Christians is coming the endless hearers of sermons, without ever being appliers of a single sermon they hear.
They are the ones who give millions of folks an excuse why it seems better not to be a believer or Christian. (17:117)

Some supposed Christians just never learn what Christianity is supposed to be all about.
But that should help you understand or remember why Ive had to start a new and different outfit one a lot more usable
for Me than those churchy old bottles. (17:118)

Some unbelievers seem to have more faith for the pioneering of new ways and paths than the majority of Christians.
But just as Gods supposed people during My time were too stuck on their ways of the flesh already, and instead of
receiving Me, their majority rejected Me, so the devil has also been spending his time and work to get My supposed
followers and believers into a lukewarm state of compromising and taking the ways of the flesh. (17:123)

I cant blame you for not wanting to attend church. How can I blame someone for not wanting to attend church whos been
converted to atheism as a kid, due to their lousy example and behavior, triggered by a truly contaminated attitude?
So, another reason for the impending judgment: Cleansing those who claim to believe in and follow Me to make out of
them more of what theyre supposed to be even if it will take worldwide persecution in order to get there. (17:124)

One of the differences between real Christian life and all the other fakes lies in letting Me make what I consider best out of
it, even if you might have preferred something else to be unfolded in your life! (17:143)

112
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Commitment, Dedication & Devotion

What thine hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Proverbs 9:10

And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13

People have to realize that in this life, a lot depends on them. A lot depends on them, when it comes to whether they will
ever see the fulfillment of their dreams or not. How much are they willing to invest? How much elbow-grease are they
willing to put into it? If your input is zero, thats what you will reap. He that soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly.
If you want something out of life, youve got to put something into it and not just sit back passively and wait for everything
to just come along. (I:116)

When you wake up in the morning, remember that you are Mine and your life belongs to Me and youve got to consciously
commit that day into My hands, or things might simply not turn out as well! Thats what putting Me first means.
Remember that Ive got you, and commit everyday into My hands first thing, before the Devil has a chance to distract you
with something else! (I:176)

A missionary is a man or woman who is utterly dedicated and yielded to Me, not holding anything back. Nothing else
matters to them but to give, to pass on that which they have received from Me. They are compelled, driven by that force,
that love unspeakable, peace that passeth the understanding of your mind, My supernatural Spirit. The love of Christ
constraineth them. (I:207)

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). Youve got to will a little harder
and put your will so much on My side that the unwillingness of the flesh will be overcome.
Your spirit, may be willing; but your flesh, your old man, may act quite unwillingly. But since what actually counts is what
you do, not merely your intentions, how willing you really were is evidently seen in the physical manifestation, your
works...
Although you may consider yourself willing, there is still more to give, more progress to be made, more willingness to be
shown.
Real willingness says, Yes, Sir! Whats mine is Yours; what else can I give? And the more you practice that kind of
willingness, the easier it becomes, because thats the kind of willingness that makes Me willing to pour out My blessings to
you beyond measure... And in the process, you become more and more willing all the time! (I:352)

The quality of your performance depends on your dedication and what you put into it. Sometimes some rather unknown
actor in a little, less significant side-role can take the audiences breath away more than the main actors and characters,
and by the grace of God you can be such a man, but its up to you, your willingness to put all youve got into it...
If the motive is to inspire them and to help them make it, and to give your own life for anothers and 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 and play it the best you know how and trust Me for it and just do what you can
to make the best of it. You never know who might be chosen for different roles in a later cast... And theres still lots of
stories to be told, a lot of history to make and a lot of victories to be won that people are going to tell tales and write plays
about for a long time to come. (I:360)

Its in your hand to make Me proud of you!

Half-heartedness doesnt have to be your destiny! (I:392)

All Im expecting is that you put yourself into a position of willingness and commitment to do My will. Im expecting you to
say Yes, and really apply yourself to obeying Me. Once you make the decision that youre going to obey come what may,
I do the rest for you and help you to put it into practice and into action. Youve got to do the wenting, Ill do the leading
and all the rest. (I:397)

When I'm putting before you an option to do the absolutely radical, contrary-to-all-your-rational-reasoning thing, how
radical are you? How sold out for Me are you? How willing to really say "Yes!" to Me without reservations?
Are you willing and ready and open for My very best? I will never let you be tempted above that you are able, but I still
require you to say "yes" sometimes. If you say, "yes" you will open up relays in the spirit. (I:417)

The best warriors are the crazy warriors, who barge into the enemy's territory with a wild roar and shout, the ones who get
carried away by the rush of victory!
This time right now might be the only time in history, the last chance left, before My return, to really burn free and let the
chips fall where they may, to freely sow My seeds, to really let them have it!
113
That's why I want you to pour it out without measure, not stingily, but generously, just pouring out your life, all you've got!
Be enriched and strengthened to go forth to conquer and to conquer! You are My followers, and just as I have gone forth to
conquer and to conquer, so must you. Be not fearful, be not hesitant, be not overly cautious, but be valiant, be
courageous, be brave. Give it all, holding nothing back! (I:533)

Everything that's worth something costs something. (I:553)

Get ready for whatever comes and whenever it comes! Ready to give it your best and your all. Leave nothing to chance.
Dedication and devotion is not quite the same as ambition, even though it may look the same.
Ambition is when someone tries to zealously achieve something for themselves; they want to be successful, and that's
their motivation. Dedication is that same zeal, but not for yourself, but for others, because you love them, and are
determined to do the best you can for them.
You are there to light their fire, not to reflect their warmth, or wait and see whether they have any warmth at all. Light their
fire and get'em hot! (II:280)

Warfare isn't always beautifully organized. The signal sounds and you rush out onto the battle field, and you don't always
look good in the mess that results out there. The only question that will remain is: have you done what you could? Will you
have given it your all? (II:281)

The easy way out, the path of the least resistance, the comfortable path with the least possible effort required is a poor
choice! (II:317)

You have the potential in you to become one of those crazy overcomers for whom it is never enough to give, one of those
who just run on crazy faith that keeps them going forward for Me, no matter what the odds are against you. (II:367)

It's one thing to serve when you're forced to, but it's another thing to really learn to serve voluntarily from the heart,
because you choose to. That is an important lesson to pass on to others, because if they only learn to serve because they
have to, then they will always seek a way out of servitude as soon as they can. You must instill in them a desire to serve, to
give, to be of service to others voluntarily, out of love.
Its nearly impossible to do in the flesh, which is why you need the help of My Spirit. It helps to have a convicting sample
of someone faithfully serving that convicts others and motivates them to think and feel, "I should be like that, too."
You've got to show that laziness and lethargy is a weakness, a sin, an enemy, which has to be fought. It's a choice they
need to make.
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. The latter defies the flesh and all that "makes sense" to you
in terms of self-preservation, the so-called rules of "evolution," which is really just the philosophy of the Devil.
Teaching somebody to serve out of love really requires love, and giving and living a loving sample yourself, first. It's got to
be My Spirit moving in you, inspiring you to do what you can to help others and make them happy, bringing to birth in you
the desire to do something good for others because you love them. (II:371)

How about an "anti-coolness campaign?" Get on fire for Me, and you'll see, people will start sharing your excitement once
you show that you're making an effort to share theirs. "The real believers get excited and praise the Lord!" Are you a real
believer? Here's another quality and trademark of a true believer: not only do they receive and drink in constantly from Me,
but they also get excited about it.
Life is too beautiful, too important, too significant, too precious to be wasting it in a state of mediocre "coolness" and lack
of emotion, thrills, joy and excitement about anything. Get some heat into your life! Coolness is a manifestation of pride.
It's the refusal to show participation, to be willing to get excited along with someone else.
Sharing excitement is an important ingredient and way of showing love. Share the excitement! Share the joy!
If someone doesn't share the joy and refuses to get excited, that's no reason to let them drag you down to their level. Don't
just remain "cool" or indifferent, but get excited. Spread some fire! (II:465)

I call that dedication to the job when someone is so willing to become whatever they're supposed to become, they forget
about everything else. They're willing to do the humble thing, to play the lowly role; they're willing to not look so hot, or
even downright ugly for the cause, the message coming across. The message is what counts, and all they consider
themselves is a humble vessel to bring it across, nothing else. (II:473)

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!
Learn to be a thermostat instead of a mere thermometer. (II:498)

You can only expect any garden or plot of land to yield its fruit after you've purged it from the rocks, weeds and brambles
that might otherwise choke the tender sprouts of your fruit.
It's work. It simply requires time and hard work. (II:503)

Go into every day as if it were a big day.

114
Go in "giving-it-all-you're got" gear. Make it a habit to invest the same kind of energy and dedication into every day. It will
bring a better equilibrium, a better balance in your life, treating your days with less partiality. If you treat every day the
same and consider you're always on stage - My stage, and in My spotlight, you'll eventually render a better performance of
your life.
If you live each day as unto Me, then you'll know and can rest assured that I'll carry the responsibility for the outcome and
you can float on My Spirit instead of having to crawl through your tasks in the flesh.
If you always seek to accomplish the most you can - however, not in the energy of the flesh, but by availing yourself of My
power - you'll up your productivity and pace in general.
The things you do for Me have everlasting rewards. Show Me that you esteem My rewards more valuable than the lucre of
the world.
Seek not to be able to be proud of your own accomplishments and carnal achievements, leaving your mark among
mortals, but make Me proud of you by investing all you've got into eternal rewards. Please Me by showing your faith in Me,
and investing into My Realm accordingly. Make My plans more important to you than your own! (II:529)

A day where I rule the circumstances, and one of which you can truly say, "this is the day which the Lord hath made," is a
day which is dedicated to My purpose, to the advance of My Kingdom, where all you've got is employed in order to bring
forth fruit for Me.
It requires the pouring out of the very essence of your life, your life-blood, just like I did. That's following in My footsteps.
(II:563)

Devotion to the little things is what marks and distinguishes a great man.
Treasure every moment, and live it fully. (II:595)

If you put the right kind and amount of energy and vision into the little things at home, the right amount of elbow-grease,
attention, interest and umph, then those very little things are going to get you far. If you project your long-term vision into
your short-term projects it can fuel them and get you a lot further than if you just go through your daily routines in a ho-
hum kind of way. (II:599)

Its got to be love that motivates you, its got to be the heart.
When you pray, pray from the heart. When you speak, speak from the heart. When you sing, sing from the heart.
Faith from the heart, thats the flame youve got to tend, the power youve got to feed from and act from: thats gotta be
your motor, the hearth on which is to be done whatever youre cooking up... where its got to be happening! Thats where
youve got to find your answers, your motivations, your direction, your driving force that spurs you on. (III:2)

Your life can take on a whole new meaning and outlook, your days can become much brighter, if you learn to seek not only
what I can do for you, but what you can do for Me, and make that your primary incentive!
May you discover the joy of what it means to really be able to say with your whole heart, "All I want to do is serve Him!"
(III:8)

Seek the opportunities to do something good, to be a blessing to someone else with your whole heart, the same way you
would seek Me, My face and My counsel, the way a blind man would desire sight! It's an effort you've got to make, a whole-
hearted effort. You cannot just be passive or lukewarm 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, to draw them closer to Me. That's what I'd call concern,
dedication and (com-)passion!
You know there's got to be some purpose why you're here today, there's got to be some good you can do today, and an
important part of My plan that you can fulfill, so you're determined to find it. (III:12)

I want to be connected to your heart.

My Kingdom must be based on more than mere intelligence or thought. It's got to be more than brainpower, but love power
that moves you into action... emotion!
Put your heart into it! If you try to figure it all out in your head and analyze it to pieces, it's going to look ugly. From a
rational point of view, this life doesn't make a lot of sense; too much imperfection. It's not smooth enough for the mind. It's
too rough, too many rough edges.
That's why you're only really going to get through life successfully if you put your heart into it. (III:25)

Folks around you are never going to be completely convinced that you truly love them, unless you learn to dedicate
yourself to them wholeheartedly, to listen to them as if they were the only thing that mattered at that moment. That's the
way I talked to My disciples, and they knew that what I had to say mattered. (III:26)

Focus on people and their needs! Recognize them for what they are, pay attention to them! Give them your time! Give them
your full attention, as if nothing else was more important, and - when it all comes down to it - nothing really is. Because
you can only say in the end that you loved Me as much as you managed to love the least of these, your brethren. (III:45)

Dedicating your time to Me is an art that can be improved by the amount of energy and intensity you put into it.
Committing the day into My hands in prayer is like drawing a rough sketch and a general outline that says, "here, Lord,
make out of it the best you know how." But if you want to go into the details and make a fine art out of it, you say, "Lord, I
dedicate this next hour to You, and I want to put my whole being into it! Take me, possess me to the full and help me to
115
make the utmost possible out of it." It's like the difference between passively making love and being the one who takes the
initiative. There's a time for both, but as you know, it's nice to have variety.
Put some passion into it, some initiative, some more dedication.
The amount you'll get out of it is determined by what you put into it.
The more you 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.
When I know you give Me your all, and there's nothing you're withholding from Me, then I also give My all to you. When
there's nothing withheld, but all is given on both sides, that is utter surrender, total passion, that's when life has truly
begun.
By holding back you're just cheating yourself out of the greatest possible thrills you could ever experience. (III:64)

What the world needs now is not just another "cool" looking Christian. What they need is the fire to warm themselves by,
they need to watch someone burn for Me, totally regardless of what anyone may think of them. I like to use people who
don't give a damn about whether the whole world thinks they're nuts.
Crazy times call for crazy measures. Look at it: the world's gone crazy. How do you think you're going to wake them up and
reach them and speak their language? By acting all "normal?" They're just finding out there is no such thing. (III:138)

Sometimes the apparently easier way, chosen to make things easier on yourself, can turn out to be a detour instead of a
shortcut. It's better to put your whole heart into something from the start, even if it means it will cost more effort and work,
than to half-heartedly start something that's going to cost a lot more time later to fix and patch up. (III:154)

Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap, and with the measure he metes, he shall also be met. You're going to get out
of life, out of love, out of everything - the same amount you're putting into it, everything reflects on you with the same
intensity that your own efforts originated in. Half-hearted prayers will only receive half-hearted answers; half-hearted
works will only reap half-hearted rewards, fruits and results.
You've got to put something into it, in order to get something worthwhile out of it, that's just the way it goes, one of the
rules of the universe. The boomerang comes back to you with the same intensity that you flung it. So it pays to put a bit
more umph and zest into it, doesn't it? If you want more, you've got to give more! If you want to receive more, you've got
to send more.
You've got to get serious about it, dedicated, devoted. (III:177)

You've got to develop some zest, some determination, some stick-to-it-iveness, gumption, perseverance, some do-or-die
spirit. You can't always avoid all the ugly parts by just laying low and playing Mr. Nice-Guy. The battle is bloody and
chaotic, and those involved don't exactly come across or strike anyone as "nice." (III:178)

I'm as close as you want Me! I can be as real to you now as you'd ever want Me to be! You don't have to wait until you're
more mature or wiser or "ready," or until your faith is strong enough.
You can have Me right now in all My fullness, without restrictions and limitations, as much as you can handle! How much
of Me can you handle? How much of Me do you want right now? How badly do you want to see Me, feel Me, hear Me, touch
Me, experience Me, live in Me? How badly do you desire Me? It's all up to you! The distance between Me and you is only
determined by yourself and no other factor.
You figure, "Why should I make a greater effort?" Because your effort could change everything! Your commitment can
change the world! Your choice to put more into it, even though nobody else may be putting that much into it can change
the world for better forever!
Everything depends on you! As far as your life is concerned, whatever you want to make happen in it, depends on you,
your initiative, your incentive, your vision, your guts, your faith! - Your determination not to allow yourself to get
sidetracked or discouraged! - Your "yes-power." (III:186)

Sometimes I draw your attention to a needed change or improvement by showing you something better than what you
have; a need to learn from someone else who has gone further than you. It's a way I use to spur you on to growth and
progress.
It has nothing to do with status, but it's all about the amount of dedication and commitment you have for My Cause.
It's convicting when you find someone who's more serious about it all than you are, who puts more into it, who's more
yielded and dedicated and thus brings forth more fruit. It's easy when others are giving less or seem to be somewhat
weaker. But when you find someone who is stronger and ahead of you, and more dedicated than you are, then initially it
may make you feel a bit small in comparison.
If you have no one to look up to, then it can be a bit sad and lonely at times, up there on that lonely hill or pedestal... (III:220)

When you're face to face with another person, I would like you to devote and dedicate your attention fully to them. If you're
in the middle of something else, it may be a test of your love, but I'd like you to make an effort to tear yourself loose from
what you were doing and devote your full attention to that person. (III:284)

It's all about playing the role I gave you to play, and about doing a good job at it: to play the role I gave you to play with
your whole heart and with heartfelt dedication, devotion, and getting into it to such an extent that it will leave the audience
with their jaws wide open. You want them to recognize that something great and awesome has been happening there. God
was here, and He blew on that person's life and lifted it from the miry clay into the sky, for all to see...

116
People want a good show. They don't care so much about the title of the role you're playing. What matters is how you play
it. If you're going to be a Christian, be one with your whole heart (because there's enough of them around already who play
that part with a lukewarm, half-hearted attitude). (III:298)

If you determine that this is what you're going to stick to and follow through with, then you should not do it grudgingly, but
wholeheartedly.
Don't look at the half-heartedness of others. Just make sure you're not a half-heart yourself! After all, there won't be any
legitimate excuses for not having given your all, such as, "Well, they didn't give their all, so I didn't, either..." That sounds
pretty lame, doesn't it? (III:323)

You never hear much about those who took the easy way out, who didn't dare to take the challenge. (III:345)

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.
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... (III:352)

The hard-working, all-giving, dedicated disciples may be somewhat of a minority. But youll have to decide what group
youre going to belong to: the on-fire minority, or the lukewarm majority.
Others have been your excuse for lowering your standard and level of commitment, and accordingly those who are
supposed to be able to look up to you have been lowering theirs. Its a vicious cycle and chain reaction that stops nowhere
unless and until you decide to put a stop to it in your life. (III:437)

Everything thats worth something costs something. How much are you willing to invest? (III:465)

The discipleship life is something you simply dont manage half-heartedly!

In order to achieve the ultimate results in your service and discipleship for Me, it sure helps to make that commitment and
have the determination at the beginning of the day, that youre going to give it your all for Me.
Its a mindset, or rather a heart-set; an inner attitude and determination of the heart. You know My Cause is worth living
and dying for, and so, youre simply willing to give all, even unto death (III:534)

You must seek and search for Me with all your hearts. You can not go at the usual pace, not with half-hearted dedication
and devotion; it wont do. In order to make it through this next stretch of the way before you, youre going to have to give
more, youre really wholeheartedly going to have to dedicate yourself to the Cause, no haphazardly, shrug-of-shoulder
type of attitude is going to cut the cake.
The time for coolness is over. What is urgently and desperately needed is the fire of devotion. Coolness isnt going to
bring you through the night, only the fire is; otherwise, youre just going to freeze and starve to death. (III:555)

When I talk about professionalism Im talking about professional engagement in bringing about and furthering the cause of
My Kingdom on earth; commitment on a professional level. (III:600)

The only way youre ever going to get people to roll up their sleeves and pitch in and help you with your work is if they see
you really being dedicated about it yourself.
You might be in this for a longer haul than you may have originally been hoping or preparing for.
With a half-hearted attitude, its going to take longer to get the job done!
I cant let you off the hook before you get the job done.
In My school, there is no graduating with bad grades!
There isnt any mention in My Book of anybody just having done a mediocre job for Me.
Unless you give it all youve got, youll lose, either way!
You can only win, if and providing you give your all.
You are doomed to failure if you dont, and just hang in there half-heartedly.
If youre going to hang in there, I need you to do it with a whole-hearted attitude.

I dont need more than a handful to win the battle in the decisive moment. The only question is, as far as youre concerned:
will you be in that number, and will you be there when we fight that battle?
If you hate the Enemy enough, you will refuse to be sent home! You will insist on being there when Ill bring an end to him,
along with My few chosen ones.
Let the rest of the cowards and half-hearts walk home, which is what they wanted to do all along, and go back to sleep. But
youre going to want to be in on that battle!
Thats all that counts to Me: just a handful and a few determined, relentless ones, bent on fighting the Enemy to the death!
117
The God of all flesh is just as alive and around as He used to be during the time of Gideon and all His other ancient
prophets. The scoffers may not believe it, because He never showed up to cater to their whims. But that is because the
God of all flesh is not interested in those who only seek to be catered to. He doesnt need another bunch of pampered
brats, because He has seen enough of that already, as Im sure you have, too.
The only question is, will you have what it takes to make a difference and be one of those exceptions who wont fall for any
of the tricks of the Enemy to either scare you, or put you to sleep or distract or hypnotize you?
If you cannot believe and trust Me for the tens of thousands you do see, trust Me for the 300 you may not be able to see,
those that I will use in the end to win the battle with, and consider them a worthy cause to be rendering your resources,
your life, your energies to.

If you knew how much is at stake, you would be a lot more serious about the role youre supposed to play.
There are going to be vast differences in the rewards people will receive in My Kingdom. Another reason to pull your act
together and take your job on earth seriously, and give it all you got and do all you can, in order not to be among those
who will lament how much more they could have done
As you need to guard the flame of your connection with Me, the flame of My Spirit within you, you must also give special
care to that which you might call your destiny, your calling, your job and purpose for Me, and strive everyday to achieve
the highest marks and get closest to the highest score you could possibly attain. (IV:99)

I need you to pay attention more wholeheartedly and dedicate even more of your time and efforts to My Cause, because
you cant win the battle half-heartedly.
Its time to give it your all and put everything youve got into this.
Im talking about whats happening between you and Me, your relationship with Me and whatever Im telling you to give and
pass on to the world.
I am the Real Thing, and the degree to which you become the real thing, too, is determined by how much your life truly
revolves around Me.
I cant force anybody to give their all to Me. But whenever I see anybody close to that position, I will certainly encourage
them, and fight to eradicate the circumstances and potential lures and distractions the devil will send their way in order to
make them just continue in their usual rut of keeping other things on the top of their list above Me. (IV:138)

Thats what commitment is: to finish something youve begun, even when a tempting new option arises. (IV:431)

Yieldedness to My will, will enable you to put your whole heart into any given situation you will find yourself in, the way I
did, instead of perpetually wondering which more important thing you could or should be doing instead. (2012:8)

Let Me do and take care of all the things you cant handle yourself!
Skills which may not just come to you that easily, actually require some effort and practice to acquire. (2012:135)

Think about the rewards coming up ahead, further down the road, if you just stick to your commitment to see it through,
no matter what. (2012:176)

Commit each day of your life into My hands, and trust Me for it, accordingly! (2016:45)

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

Communication

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well
pleased.. Hebrews 13:16

I should always be your first and foremost focus point of communication! (I:21)

Once you have learned to put the fleshly way of thinking aside, and let My Spirit take over, Im able to teach you to lay the
foundation for communication with Me. (I:84)

All I want is to love you and be loved by you, to communicate with you and have you communicate with Me. (I:137)

In the multitude of counselors there is safety, and where there are two or three gathered together in My Name, there am I in
the midst of them. Learning to counsel together, to communicate and to come to decisions together is a good thing. We
counsel and communicate a lot Up Here, so, learning to do it during your life-time on Earth is good preparation for greater
things. (I:158)

Youve got to be such a sample of outgoing communication, of humbly opening yourself up and communicating, instead of
withdrawing and closing up, that it becomes contagious. (I:174)

My communication with you is the leading of My Holy Ghost towards a higher destination and purpose for you, and you
must not forsake this personal connection with Me, your channel, no matter what comes or happens!
If you dont take time to communicate with your King, how can you be a successful ambassador for Me? (I:293)

Learning to communicate openly and honestly is one high attribute and quality to attain, and if you can, youll be so much
more of an overcomer, a true prophet and child of God who wont have anything to hide... (I:303)

Each day you spend with Me in close fellowship in communication with Me, learning of Me, will accomplish a lot more than
a thousand days running around in the wings. (I:306)

Learn to communicate and deal with the issues, instead of letting them rot away, hidden away in the darkness!
If you don't confront them and deal with whatever there needs to be dealt with, if you just wrap everything up in silence
and never talk about it, never address it, you'll suffer for it! You'll reap the consequences of not having communicated
openly and honestly. (I:486)

Stay in close touch with Me, pumping down My Power, My life, light and instructions, moving and growing in the spirit by
maintaining a live and pulsating, intimate relationship and line of communication with Me. (I:506)

The light of open and honest communication shoos away the devil's darkness and his opportunity to sow any discord or
start any rumors. (I:555)

In Heaven, things flow a lot more, and will be much freer... communication between us will be much better than now, and it
won't all necessarily happen in words, for there are other means of communication, as you will find out.
Communication won't ever stop or slowly trickle down to a halt or fade out, but it will go ever on, ever increasing, ever
improving, ever resulting in greater fruit, greater wisdom, greater light and greater love, in spite of anything the enemy
might try to do to make it not look that way! Hes trying to stifle and smother communication that's spiritually edifying in
any way he can.
Although the physical means of communication have improved and multiplied tremendously, you can tell how the quality
of communication has been deteriorating.
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 and all boring each other to death,
when they could find so much life, so much fun and excitement by focusing outward. (I:578)

Don't let our communication go under in all the stress and the distractions! (I:608)

It's heart-to-heart communication I'm longing for, not just a cold, technical exchange of the mind. (II:58)

When you're feeling most useless I can usually use you most, whereas during those times when you think you're actually
accomplishing something, our communication sometimes comes to a halt. (II:64)

Don't think that you've got to hide things from Me, nor that you can hide things from Me! (II:68)

119
It's expedient for you that we continue communicating throughout the whole day. (II:134)

You must not stop or discourage anyone from speaking up! It may be unpleasant to hear what's bugging them, but it's still
a lot healthier to have it out than to let it fester inside. (II:143)

Learn to communicate with My help! I'm the Center, the Hub, and you're coming together over Me. I'm the central exchange
point of well-working communication between you, and without Me, you can't do anything, not even communicate!
But if you focus on Me and keep your faces turned toward Me, I will be the One Who unites you, Who will interpret what the
other one is really saying. (II:169)

You find solutions and reach helpful conclusions sometimes by just talking and communicating about things.
Communication is really a magical thing. It triggers a lot of answers, opens doors and vaults of possibilities you weren't
aware of before, and if it already does the trick with regular human communication, think of how much more effective your
communication with Me can be! (II:206)

When you can freely communicate without fears, when there is harmony, mutual respect, and My Spirit can flow from each
of you to the other, as it does from Me to each of you, then the world will also see and get the message, for they will see My
Love at work in you (Jn.13:35). (II:328)

If instead of just talking and blurting out whatever pops into your mind you pray about it or make sure that what you're
saying is going to be inspiring and comes from Me, you'll probably be talking less, but you'll be saying more!
It will move your communication to a higher level, to where you're going to be much more in tune with each other.
Communication is more than just talking. In Heaven, there's a lot of communication done without actual spoken words,
and you could try a little bit of that already now, in this realm.
Let My Spirit permeate your communications (II:356)

Bathe your decisions, your communications and your actions in good counsel with Me and with each other. (II:365)

Communication with Me is not just happening in words, it also happens with pictures and the accompanying emotions. I
can grasp and assimilate all youre going through - especially when you give and communicate it to Me - I sympathize with
you and send you My appropriate answer. 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.
I'm trying to get our communication to the visual level as well.
Its more than just visual; it encompasses all your senses! We can communicate with all our senses; that's what I'd call full
communication, full and total interaction! (II:394)

I use My gift of communicating with you to draw you closer to My heart, so that I can really take hold of the first place in
your hearts. (II:423)

I want you to need and be dependent on the things the world has to offer, so that you will communicate with them and
share with them what you've got, so that they will share with you of what they've got... (II:431)

You've got to let My heart speak to your heart, in order for your heart to be able to speak to theirs! (II:466)

If you can communicate in love and just share without inhibitions or fears, you will progress, you will advance and get
further toward the goal. Withholding, withdrawing, holding back and refusal and seclusion will lead to stagnation.
Openness brings you further. (II:468)

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! (II:510)

Heavenly communication is what it's all about. In My Father's House, with its many mansions, there is lots of
communication happening; spiritual communication, verbal communications, all kinds of communication. Folks aren't
bound to earthly confines and limitations. There's no more need for "firewalls"... It's all sort of "open source." Everyone's
an open source of information and communication; something the devil is trying to imitate in his gross, abusive way.
Just consider yourself part of our heavenly communications network, because you are! Tune in to Me on a regular level,
even about little and seemingly insignificant things! (II:574)

Following Me is not about friends, a cool life-style and all the fun of communal living, but about communication with Me.
(II:575)

Your little daily interactions and conversations with little people are just as important to the general outcome of your day
as the seemingly more important exchange of communication with "big," important people. (II:595)

Womens need to talk is like men's need for sex. So, just focus on that there's a need there, for more talking, more
communication! (PXPI07:41)

120
It's all about interaction with others, about communicating from the heart. (PXPII07:17)

"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! (III:91)

There may come a time when your connection with folks will come to a halt, but there will never be a time when your
communication with Me will be cut off. That's the lifeline that will survive any crisis, and thus it's your No.1 lifeline, the
most important of all. (PXPII07:23)

Who ever said that communication isn't something you have to invest some time and effort into, learning its skills? Who
said that it was going to come out perfect from scratch?
What matters is the gist of what's to be communicated: there is a purpose to life, and most people are oblivious to it, and
it's a large part of your job to let folks know about it. (PXPII07:25)

Your communication with Me is the lifeline that will survive any crisis. It's your No.1 lifeline, the most important of all, the
part that will never be taken away from you, that personal, heart-to-heart relationship between Me and you.
In My School, the higher up you are, the more dependent on Me you become, the closer you are connected with Me, and
the closer our communication will be. (III:104)

There is nothing that could be anywhere near as important as My time with you, My communications with you, My position
in your life. (III:112)

Our relationship must grow. The intensity and quality of our communication must grow.
There has to be progress. (III:144)

Communication with the other, the different, that's what it's all about: the re-unification of all things... the restoration of the
peace and unison that was there between My creatures in the beginning, and that's the way it shall be again, so you might
as well get ready for it, and not be so stuck on your own kind only. (III:266)

Folks are prone to stick to their own kind, unless I allow them not to be satisfied with what they find among their own kind.
For some it is My will to go out and communicate and interact with the other kind; to act as intermediaries,
communicators, mediators, peacemakers, ambassadors, spokesmen, what have you...

Most of My believers 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. (III:274)

A factor that influences your level and abilities of communication is that sometimes you're quite simply on different
wavelengths. One thing you can do about that is to make an effort to tune in to the other's wavelength.
But what if you feel that you're on a "higher" wavelength than they are, you wonder? Well, if you truly are convinced that
you are on a happier and more inspired wavelength than they are, then you can try to pull them up to yours. That's what
inspiring others is all about.
But that requires some work, since people naturally won't just snap out of their own familiar wavelength and tune into
yours, especially if they have no clue what your wavelength is all about. In order to get them interested, you have to
"broadcast" and "advertise" a little, and let them know what your "station" is all about. You have to "play some of your
music" in order for them to find out whether they like it or not. (III:287)

It pays to put more emphasis on teamwork, on unity, on communication, doing things together, counseling, planning
things together, etc. (III:288)

Once you've established an excellent line of communication with Me, you'll probably also find that your communications
with others will increase and improve.
It is important that you establish clear lines of communication with those you're living with.
If there are already so many misunderstandings and misperceptions between you, how much more the devil is able to
hinder clear communication between you and outsiders.
Communication is something the enemy is fighting vehemently against. It's one of the areas in which he tries to interfere,
intercept and distort and sow confusion.
A good and strong line of communication with Me is the foundation. Next you need to have good communications with
those you live with, and then you can worry about your communications with the rest of the world.
Patience is a key to better communications with each other.
There are many things you still need to learn about communications with your wife, your children, about not being so
stuck on yourself and your own opinion, and oodles of other things, before you can enlighten the world with your wisdom.
Learn a bit more about the basics of domestic communications before you keep worrying about how you're going to
impress the rest of the world! (III:326)

Communication and "going into all the world to preach the Gospel" as opposed to only preaching "at home," is all about
being mature enough to forsake the scope of your own immediate group of interest, and expand beyond it, to a new one
you may not be familiar with.
121
Communication is a big part of the solution.
The giving of Myself to the world was a gigantic act of communication between God and the World.
Eventually, communication between God and men will be established to such a degree that He will feel comfortable
enough among men to make His abode with them, right there, on Earth (Rev.21:3). (III:330)

Acceptance is a great key in communications: accepting somebody for who and what they are without prejudice. (III:331)

My way of focusing is on a level of personal relationships.

Its all about communication, tuning in to each other, being considerate of each other, each other's needs, and being of a
helpful attitude toward each other. (III:340)

When the devil's flood of iniquity and lies is going to sweep this world for it's greatest hour of temptation yet, the time
you're going to have invested in strengthening your faith and establishing this line of communication with Me will seem
anything but wasted! (III:355)

Take it by faith that I always love to communicate with you! (III:380)

If you need help, just ask! It would help to communicate about more openly. Sometimes it also applies to inter-human
relationships: Ye have not because ye ask not. (III:393)

Times are changing and requiring different, more mature attitudes, which require more mature openness in
communication. (III:416)

The rulers of the darkness of this world want slaves, not free human beings, much less free human spirits, free enough to
communicate with their Creator and be whoever He wants them to be. (III:453)

This procedure of learning to communicate with Me is going to be vital for you and expedient for your survival in the near
future.
Im 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 isnt
really much more than a bunch of hot air.
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 isnt
really much more than a bunch of hot air. (III:469)

How to best make Salvation work out in ones life is something theyll have to find out through My Word and their own
communications and relationship with Me, and through the things I allow in their lives in order to draw them closer to Me.
Communication with Me isnt always established right from scratch. Sometimes it takes a while until you get there. What
matters is, that eventually you do manage to communicate with Me. It pays to strive to get to know Me during your earthly
life. (III:473)

Getting to know Me is what its all about, and what better initial way is there, of getting to know someone, than exchange of
words and communication? Words are always good for starters, just like John said, In the Beginning was the Word.
(III:511)

Self-satisfaction is a real stopper and blocker when it comes to abundant communication with Me. (III:552)

Im teaching you personally through the School of Life and your experiences, all that you have to go through, your trials
and lessons these are all ways in which I communicate and interact with you. (III:585)

Youre giving and receiving at the same time. Its that flow that comes to pass in communicating. You pass on something
to others, but as soon as you take that step, its My Spirit that flows through you, and youre actually just giving what I
dictate. (III:586)

The devil is trying to discourage you from reaching out to communicate because he knows that would be the end of his
scheme.
Communication is a killer of Satans schemes, thats why he tries to fight communication between you, and also with Me,
tooth and nail. Communication is his dilemma, his nemesis. He cant stand it, because it is bound to expose his scheme
sooner or later and reveal just how ridiculous all those lies and suspicions were that he was trying to sow in your minds
about each other.
Communication will shed light into each others minds about how each of you really feel.
Bringing in that light will diminish the enemys abilities to operate in the darkness and there sow his seeds. (IV:28)

The sooner youll have learned to truly rely on your communication with Me for your survival, the stronger and better off
youre going to be then.

The essential communication is the spiritual communication, even if it may not seem to be getting you anywhere in this
world.
In reality, it is much more important and crucial in keeping you alive and going, and successfully so, than any physical
means of communications ever could.
Its your prayer-, praise- and prophecy-line that keeps you alive and kicking, more than your telephone line, your internet
connection, or even the power lines that supply you with electricity.
Youve been dependent on those physical connections for practically your whole life, and its not so easy to make the
transition of switching to Spirit Power, but thats basically what this whole lesson of Flesh Vs. Spirit amounts to. (IV:83)

Im communicative by nature, not secluded or withdrawn.

Once youve gotten to know Me, you know that Im quite communicative, open, and more willing to give than you are to
receive. (IV:106)

Prayer is communication of the most efficient kind in existence that is available to man, and not only that, but its also a
device that will enhance and improve all your other communications with your fellow humans as well.
Prayer oils the machinery of communication in your life with the oil of My Spirit and thus helps it to operate better and to
flow more smoothly, and to flow in the direction of My will.
Step One in discipleship is receiving the instructions, and Step Two is getting the machinery of well-oiled communication
going through prayer. (IV:170)

Its essential for you to recognize that the power is not yours but Mine, and that you need that contact and communication
with Me in order to keep going and keep pouring. (IV:209)

Everythings about communication, as far as Im concerned. (IV:233)

Spiritual communication is freer, and Im preparing you for the liberties of the world to come. To become skilled in the arts
of spiritual communication can really be of great advantage to you. (IV:236)

Communication with Me is a two-way street: its not just Me wanting to communicate things to you, but I also want you to
communicate your heart to Me. Remember also the neglected path of praise, another form of edifying communication with
Me.
Communication with Me consists not only of you wanting assurance from Me, but you can also give Me your assurance
that you want to be by My side today, give Me your all, and that you still love Me (IV:266)

Conversation with Me ensures My Power staying active in your life, and that My blessings will continue to be poured forth
on you. Whereas, if you dont stay in touch with Me, youre neglecting that Power, comparable to someone who insists on
doing things in their own strength instead of availing themselves of the power of electricity. (11:76)

There is nothing that could possibly be as important in your life, other than your prayers and other forms of
communication and interaction with Me. (11:144)

Life is largely about learning how to communicate effectively and efficiently, especially if youre following the vocation of a
teacher of spiritual truths. (11:148)

I am not only the Mediator between you and the Father, but I also serve as a mediator and helper in your communications
with each other.
I am the Central Exchange Station for all relevant, meaningful and fruitful communication, and as long as you draw nigh to
God, He will draw nigh to you and show you ways to get along better with your fellowmen. (2012:10)

Real and genuine communication taking place is something more valuable and lasting than the laws of Physics. Its
helping people to be able to communicate, and you know that this is a factor and ingredient of creation thats here to stay.
In the beginning was the Word, and it will be long after the end. Communication is here to stay, even when the laws of
physics will all have given way to a better and more lasting Matrix, and the chemical components of matter will have
become irrelevant, or mathematics will be not much more than a game for children
You have chosen the good part: communication listening to Me and receiving answers to your questions that will not
be taken away, even when the physical earth as you know it, will have been taken away.
And, yes, its pitiful, that a lot of people are incapable of that, dont even desire or seek it, especially communication with
the One they should desire to communicate with most
Communication is the name of the game Im interested in playing, even if it goes far beyond anything youre able to
comprehend right now. But youre getting busy in the branch and line of work that stands for Me the Word in the long
run, and I will not leave your services unrewarded.
Especially communicating with Me always pays, and if you want to take this all one step further teaching, showing or
even encouraging others to communicate with Me would be an even more fulfilling ministry. Maybe youll get the guts, the
courage and the initiative to try it some day, and I promise, you wont be disappointed by the results.
Communication between people, and helping folks with that, is good and great, but helping them to communicate with Me
is even better. Much better. (2012:82)

123
Heaven and earth will pass away, but these Words will not! My Words will not! My communications with you is really all
that matters, not the amount of money you make or dont make! (2012:98)

Theres more, much more, to be gleaned, gained and harvested from this seemingly dull, and perhaps slightly tedious act
of communicating with Me than youve dared or been able to imagine; and once we really get going, trust Me, you wont
deem it tedious anymore! (2013:97)

The best maintenance you can give your body, is taking the time to communicate with Me for some spiritual cleansing.
(2013:115)

Its quite important for you to realize with whom its most important to stay in touch; youre realizing that your connection
with Me is more important and reliable. At least youre missing and appreciating My communication with you, and youre
seeking it like something very important possibly most important to you about every day.
Can you imagine now why your days are becoming so hard that you feel like you very much need your communication
with Me? Making our communication the most important factor makes sense now, doesnt it? (2014:27)

Remember to pray more, since you might get more spiritual victories accomplished than just seeking to communicate with
Me what youre thinking or manage to write down to communicate with Me. While I dont mind communication with My
believers, remember that I told you, the best I prefer is prayer. (2014:28)

Sometimes the more difficult situations occur so that you get more used to checking on Me, communicating with Me and
asking for My help. (2014:32)

I dont have any problem communicating, youll see. Just ask Me and have faith in Me!
Youll see that I dont mind answering you when you ask Me questions
But keep seeking Me, looking and waiting and asking for My help, and youll get the right answers! (2014:38)

Could you please give that movement of seeking communication with Me the importance that its what will keep your life
uphill or upwards somehow? (2014:41)

You may have lost a lot of your powers and mental abilities; but you still have your ability to communicate with Me; your
connection and communication with Me.
Sometimes its good to make sure your communication with Me is running properly, before you can get it going with
others I mean, if youre a proper believer in Me who believes in the importance of communication with Me, its important
that you get the communication with Me running as you should that its pretty much one of the highest gear (2014:69)

Get ahold of Me on a daily basis; thats part of what I want you to learn right now. Dont just let it all depend on what sort of
a day youre having. Make it dependent on Me! (2014:146)

Stay in touch with Me, and dont neglect your communication with Me, since your sensations seem to indicate that its
quite important to stay and keep in touch with Me.
After all, if I am Who You believe I am, it should be important to keep in touch with Me, and not neglect that
communication.
I know its tough times youre having to go through, and I wish to keep you out of it as much as possible, but it depends a
lot on you and your actions and willingness and eagerness of communication and staying in touch with Me. Make it
constant.
If its a rough time, remember Me, and remember holding on to Me! If youre constantly dependent on Me, it just shows you
need Me for living, and you ought to stay in touch! Make Pray without ceasing a verse youre going by! If you need Me
that much, dont neglect your connection and communication with Me! Learn why it means and says to pray without
ceasing, now that youre realizing how important it is to keep and stay in touch with Me! (2015:43)

You need help? Good! Thats what Were here for, your Saviour and helpers from Above! Thats what our communication
and Power of the Spirit is there for The Father knew that it would be absolutely necessary someday for true believers to
survive and make it through the Endtime.
So, keep and stay in touch! Dont let the views and ways of the world continue to distract you. Time to stay tuned in to
your Help from Above and support of the Holy Ghost, the angels and spirit helpers, any help from Above you can get and
apply for! (2015:113)

Youre learning the difference between worldly facts and what Im teaching and communicating with you. (2015:143)

The more time you spend communicating with Me (- even though right now youre not much better able to do much else )
the better off youre going to be in times to come! Keeping in touch with Me as much as you can is the best you can do!
(2015:158)

Life has a lot of mysteries. But seeking Me about them will help you solve them.
It all depends a bit on peoples faith in My abilities of communication with them in other words, how real and strong their
faith in Me really is, instead of in another congregation (2015:161)
124
Just because youre not always behaving perfectly (remember that there arent any perfect folks down there), doesnt
mean I wont communicate with you. (2015:165)

Very few people still believe I am able to communicate with them. Its definitely one of those gifts of the Spirit the enemy
attacks and seeks to destroy
See, he knows that folks regularly communicating with Me may become his biggest enemies and threats, especially also
because I give them the most input on what hes up to and how hes working.
I actually exist, and dont mind talking to and communicating with you.
Youll be quite pleasantly surprised and surprising others, too, about how willingly communicative I am with folks folks
like you; in fact, anyone willing to communicate and receive some input from Up Here (2015:171)

When situations arise during which you dont know what to do or what will happen, ask Me! (2015:196)

It might be helpful for you to have Me talk to and communicate with you in public places, helping you to stay a bit more on
My more positive wavelength in those situations, rather than becoming overly critical (2015:197)

The enemy knows how important those moments of communication between us are, and receiving new and fresh input is
somewhat more important than going over and studying the old. (2016:2)

Just stick to and stay in tune with Me trying to make Me what you tune in to above everything else, Me in the first place,
that means and try and see whether that wont be the factor to help you make it even through the roughest time of world
history!
Stick to Me and stay tuned in to Me, and dont allow the enemys tricks to divert and distract you from what should be the
most important Goal of your heart and mind!
Stick to Me, cling to Me and let your communication with Me grow and flourish, and youll see that the strength that will be
available will be far above what your own was able to accomplish! (2016:20)

Avail yourself of all the Strength and Power and help from Above you can get through prayer, along with your
communication with Me, which I know youre in desperate need of, the reason Im definitely available to give you My
counsel and comfort through the gift of the Holy Spirit. (2016:41)

Be thankful for this line of communication with Me and be aware of the fact that thats what youll be needing most in the
days to come, and the main reason youre not able to make it by yourself as easily as you used to in times past! (2016:70)

You see what already a bit of communication does for you in encouraging you and lifting your sentiments to a state where
you feel more capable of making it. (2016:75)

Another advantage of My connection with you: being more aware of what our enemys up to, due to our communication.
(16:137)

Times of physical weakness may make you feel discouraged for starters, but as you draw your spiritual Strength from your
communication with Me, youll realize that some good will come out of the initially apparent evil! (16:142)

Becoming more dependent on My connection and communication with you, along with the power of prayer, is definitely a
more important task concerning whats coming than providing money for your physical support. (2016:145)

Find new methods to keep in touch and communication with Me!

The advantage of living and active communication with Me: getting the input, counsel and advice youre needing for the
present, along with preparations for whats to come.
This track of living communications with Me is one of the major factors and basic necessities for whats to come!
Remember that I am the Word through which everything was made and became flesh the Source of communication
between you and the Father, and just stay on that heavenly track and communication wavelength! (2016:154)

If Im the Word, as the Father was termed Love, and together the Two created everything you see, keep those two Factors
in your heart, mind and whole being as the primary ones!
It shows that part of love must be communication so, let your communication with others be run and motivated by love,
and dont let any of the evil influences of the enemy sink in, like anger, disrespect, superficiality or even foolishness!
(2016:162)

Communication with Me is becoming more important than that with fellow humans especially those that believe in and
dedicate their lives to the System. (2016:171)

The security, safety and protection factor will be a lot more secured the closer you stick to Me and stay on My Wavelength
of communication with you. (2016:175)

Getting familiar enough with Me in order to get daily communication from Me, including instructions on how to act, behave
125
and what to do is not something very common, and thus, not that easy for others around you to get used to. But trust Me,
therell come a time when theyll appreciate it, too! (17:14)

Just because no one else is putting their priorities on communication with Me doesnt mean youre wasting your time. It all
depends on what one considers most important and who or what is taking the first place in their lives. (17:24)

Its a very wise move to stay in touch and communication with Me, so that I can lead and guide you where you should and
are supposed to go, where youll be safe, rather than sorry for having gone there, and just stay on that lane that will drive
you closer and closer to Me, along with your true and lasting Home where well meet person to person, along with other
heavenly persons and beings youll be thrilled to meet. (17:69)

If the devil tries to torture you with thoughts that those around you are considering you wasting your time you spend in
communication with Me, just be brave enough to resist those doubts and negative thoughts, and trust in Me and that I
know what Im giving you is what you need! (17:75)

My input gives you spiritual Strength and encouragement. - One of the advantages of communication with Me.
When someone becomes dependent on My input and their communication with Me, thats an asset from My point of view.
(17:76)

Communication with Me is one of the major factors that will see you through whats coming! (17:113)

Not too many folks have the faith - or attitude of faith - for investing much time in communicating with Me; and thus, I
consider it something special.
Lets just say (and believe) that I have a perfect reason and purpose for this, our communication line!
See communication with Me as a life-important factor, especially regarding the times coming when it will be impossible to
make it through without! (17:123)

See your times of communication with Me as the most precious - since it just might be the factor that will see you through
the times of trouble when many others wont have much of a clue, since they simply havent been as prepared!
Even if others - including those around you - cannot grasp the importance of your communication with Me, its important
you keep that factor in mind yourself! (17:134)

Remember some of My old time prophets? I was their major communication partner. And times are coming when the best
you can do is follow their example. Communication with whom else is going to save your life from constant tribulation and
persecution?
Who else can you ask for miracles and protection to see you through?
So, communication with whom could possibly the most important? - The most vital and necessary? (17:143)

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

Correction & Discipline

Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives (Hebrews
12:6)

Treasure My lashes of love for the compliments they are, without fearing them! (I:58)

The more you dwell in My Word the better you know your weaknesses, for My Words are a mirror to your soul and an
exposing light of the wickedness and deceitfulness of the heart of man. My Word is a two-edged sword, discerner of
thoughts and intents of the heart, and if you really want to know the truth about yourself, study My Word. In fact, that's the
main reason why most people shun My Word, because it reveals the ugly truth about them. It's not always very uplifting or
encouraging; it's breaking, and a downer at first. But then again, it's like the story of the wayward son who didn't stick it
through the reading of his fathers testament until the good part came.
The good news is that I can deliver you from all the sins and weaknesses and make a new creature out of you. (I:112)

Whats important is that each correction is done in love, and that all your teaching is an act of love. (I:249)

The Father purges every branch that it may bring forth more fruit, so, the chastisements, corrections and purgings must
come. He eliminates all blemishes from My bride for Me, so that she may be pure, blameless and spotless before Me, which
is also the main reason for the Tribulation ahead...
Judgment must come, and it must begin with My own house. (I:316)

It takes humility to take correction in order to serve and follow Me. (I:347)

I love you as My dear, beloved bride, and love it to be gentle and sweet and tender with you. But I also have ordained it that
My people should shepherd each other, and you have to get used to correction.
Your survival in this war depends a lot on the progress you make in your training, and in order to grow, you need
correction.
Correction from Me, although hard to take, brings forth the golden, peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are
exercised thereby (Heb.12:11). Its a matter of exercise, training, being drilled and used to it. Dont shun it. Itll do you so
much good. Learn to appreciate and cherish it and be grateful for it. Its a great humbling factor, the medicine to your soul
you need. (I:353)

If you would fight to overcome that pride which makes you resist correction, youd find so much greater happiness. (I:374)

Judgment begins with the house of the Lord, and those who knew their Masters will and did it not will be beaten with
many stripes. (I:384)

There comes a point when the only love that seems to be successful and able to do the subject justice in getting rid of the
sin, is the love manifested in chastisement. (I:429)

Consider it a compliment and a token of My love for you, when things are going rough in the physical, because that means
I'm drawing you closer to Me and into My spiritual Realm! (I:476)

Youre learning precious lessons through My withholding the flow of blessings at the rate you would want it: youre
learning patience, consideration, learning to put Me first in the whole process and to praise Me in spite of the fact that Im
not giving you everything you want, because I know better whats the best for you... Youre learning to communicate about
these issues, which is rather humbling for you, and thus youre also learning greater humility out of all of this, which is
also good. (I:477)

Thank Me even for My purgings and chastisements, by which I purge you and purify you so that you might bring forth
more fruit! (II:20)

You must allow Me to correct you in different ways, without immediately assuming that I've forsaken you. (II:36)

You must view the difficult times in your life differently not as something bad or dreadful, as a sign that I've abandoned
you, but as a token of My extra special care for you.
I'm spending extra time with you, paying extra attention to you in order to mend your flaws, to make you better, enhance
you, make you more beautiful for Me.
I "deal" with those first who are closest to Me. If you're going through rougher times than others, consider it a privilege,
because it means that I'm considering you to be among those who can handle it.
I'm doing something special in your life, and it's nothing to feel bad or abandoned about. I'm right here with you! (II:45)
127
Be not surprised that I'm still having to chasten and cleanse you, as long as there are other things that are evidently more
important to you than I am. (II:46)

It is necessary for Me to bring on the night before I can bring back the Spring. It is necessary to bring on the purging
before all is pure again.
You say, "Bring on the good times! Stop all this suffering," but it's necessary for Me to bring on My judgments first. You
must agree with Me on this, you must desire them as something good. You still resist them, and tend to murmur in your
heart against Me for allowing the times to be so rough. But if you would make an effort to see from My vantage point, you'd
see the sense in it.
When you see a spoiled child, you know that what it needs is not more of what he wants, but correction.
I'm asking you to agree with Me that judgments must come, and to pray that I bring on that which I know the world needs
most.
Don't resist My discipline and purging, but trust that it's good for you! Welcome it! Welcome Me with open arms, even if I
bring correction with Me. Dread it not, but cherish it. Be thankful for it, for through it I am making you what you need to
become, not what you are but what you're going to be by My grace, and My chastisement is My grace in this case, My
privilege and special honor I bestow upon you. (II:55)

Your conduct is of extreme importance, and if you break the rules, if you commit sin, it's going to be judged! There's no
more getting away with it!
Someday you're going to look up to Me and say, "Lord, when You let me get away with everything and you spoiled me and
gave me all my requests, I loved You, but I didn't love You as much as after You pulled out the rod and started chastising
me for my sins and shortcomings."
You will know that I knew best what you needed. I needed to show you that you would never love Me as much by spoiling
you as you would by Me correcting you! I could have never given you enough! You would never have been satisfied, no
matter how many of your hearts' desires I would have granted you.
No matter how much love you would have received, it never would have been enough for you!
You will sing like king David: "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy Word. It is good for me that I
have been afflicted that I might learn Thy statutes."
You only learn to truly keep My law of love by the afflictions I'm letting come upon you! (II:56)

You must learn to look for the good in people! Then it will also not be so hard for you to correct them or tell them about
some of the things they do you consider wrong, because they'll still feel that you love them and consider them a positive
addition and a blessing to your life, not a burden. (II:116)

I'm testing My brides to see how receptive they are to correction I give them through others. (II:121)

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 and
instruction; the stuff that's naturally a little bit harder for you to chew on, but essential for your spiritual health.
I'm having to purge you of those elements of friendship with the world that make you compromise, ashamed to stand up
for Me before them, because you don't want to lose your popularity with them! You need to get rid of this filth, this dirt, this
virus, or it's going to spread! (II:133)

Temptations will keep coming and knocking at your door, but it's your choice whether you will succumb to them! It's time
to acquire some spiritual strength and the greatness to resist them, because the repercussions will come, whether they
will seem related to the sin or not!
Whenever there is something going wrong in your life, or not the way things are supposed to be, you can be sure that
there's a cause for it, and a very good reason. If it comes across as if I'm punishing you, there must be a good reason for
it, and you can be sure that this is also out of My great love for you, and that it will work together for your best.
Him that I love much, I will also have to chasten much when they go astray. I'm zealously keeping you from the
contaminations of the world. I want to keep you pure unto Me, and you would also that I keep you thus.
I keep you close to Me and I chasten you because of My great love and care for you. So, rejoice when you fall into divers
temptations, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial and count it all joy if you're often being reproved by the things I
allow to happen in your life as a result of even your littlest strayings. Those things are keeping you in check, they keep you
from straying one inch farther from Me than you would possibly want, and they will make you that what I want you to be!
(II:137)

Sometimes people have to prove that they're mature enough to hold a certain blessing. And if they're not, if they're
allowing their feelings to go haywire with them instead of keeping the priorities straight in their hearts and focusing
primarily on what's truly relevant, namely the advance of My Cause and Kingdom, then they will simply have to forego that
blessing.
I won't hesitate to take it away, if it becomes a god before Me to you. If it consumes more time and becomes more of a
hindrance than a help. (II:223)

You've got to train and discipline those thoughts in the obedience of Me. They try to break loose and run wild, hither,
thither and yon, but you've got to catch them and bring them into captivity, tell them Who's the Boss, and Who they should
obey.
128
It's almost like pulling a stubborn horse or mule back in the direction you want it to go when it starts to go the other way.
That horse is like your flesh which thinks it can do it without My help and trudge off on his own. So, you've got to pull the
reins and say "No, fella, this way!" That's what you've got to do in order to train and discipline your mind! (II:286)

Everybody needs shepherding. Even when it seems like they're rejecting it. Kids need training and correction, even if they
act as though that's the last thing on earth they may need or want. Many grown-ups aren't better than kids in that aspect...
(II:313)

If things dont look so rosy right now, it is only for your best. It is a form of discipline which is going to result in greater
riches and blessings than physical abundance, a token of My very special love for you. (II:383)

Be thankful for My corrections and chastisements, for showing you that something is wrong, and that things can't keep
going the same way! (II:389)

The Father would be a bad Parent, listening to your whims and giving in to them, instead of letting you experience what
you really need. (II:417)

I and the Father know exactly what each one needs to come to repentance and enlightenment.
Every iniquity is going to be purged, and someday it's all going to be okay. (II:452)

It's an art to be able to tell people their flaws in the right way, and few possess it...to really confront people eye to eye with
their sins without self-righteous hypocrisy.
Being a shepherd or even simply a brother entails the love and honesty not just to silently accept another's failure, which
you know is going to harm and impede their fruitfulness and happiness for Me, but to courageously and lovingly confront
them about it.
When you choose not to tell people the truth you see about them, you abandon them in some way and give up on them.
You don't believe or have hopes that telling them the truth would do any good, and thus you label them as incorrigibles
and hopeless cases.
It's simply something that My followers are going to have to learn to be more willing to deal with. You can't just ignore a
sickness or disease, nor would anyone ignore the fact that they might need a bath desperately. But when it comes to
spiritual health and cleanliness, people are a lot more slack and tolerant of evil.
That's basically what it's all about: people's individual tolerance level of evil. How willing are you to accept evil in your life?
How ready are you for compromise with evil? (II:467)

If you realize that correction is an important ingredient of love, and confronting someone honestly about something you
see they're doing wrong is a real token of true love, then your attitude to correction will change.
How much nicer is it to be told by a true friend what they think is wrong with you than just the deafening silence of those
who don't want to confront you with it!
Openness brings you further. Openness toward each other, to both learn from and teach each other, to care and be cared
for, to receive and to share, to shepherd and correct, as well as be shepherded and corrected. (II:468)

Discipline is the opposite of spoiling yourself, of making things as easy for you as possible and not withholding any little
pleasure from yourself that you might be craving. Discipline means also saying "no" every once in a while to a craving, an
urge or a temptation. (II:514)

Even if it hurts, you must trust that it's a good, godly hurt, the "lashes of love." Even if what I'm telling you hurts you deep
inside, you must trust that I say these things out of love. (II:533)

Persecution is often an instrument in My hands which I use to make My own church white and to purify. It's the judgment I
bring upon My own house first, for that is where judgment begins. I cannot judge the rest of the world while I let My own
children get away with sin. The world needs a fair God and Judge. (II:541)

Your self is the first thing you've got to change in order to change the world and make it better. And what other way do I
have to let you know that you need to change; that things are not okay the way things are, but to allow things to go wrong?
Woe to them who are not being chastened and disciplined by Me. (II:546)

If you desire truth in the inward parts, that's what you're going to keep getting for a while: more not-so-pleasant
revelations about your innermost self, about areas in your life in which you're not quite being the saint you wish or even
thought you were. (II:596)

How much do you avail yourself of Me, and how much do you still depend on other crutches? Can you let go of those
crutches voluntarily, or will I have to take them away?
Let Me shower your soul with My cleansing, warm and healing light. I am the Light of the world. Are you ready for that
light? Are you ready for My touch, My Words, My truth, My Love? Are you really ready for it? And how far will you go? How
much can you handle?
I'm trying to free you and cleanse you from any barriers and hindrances that might stop the flow of My power and light in
your life, from My heart to you. I'm trying to make sure that all your pipes are clean in order to ensure a smooth and steady
129
flow, a constant stream of My power and current through your life. I'm making sure that the light you give off shines
clearly. Each of My brides should regularly check their own hearts to make sure that everything is working properly and all
the incentives, priorities and motivations are right. (II:627)

I'm not expecting you to just take people's flaws without doing or saying anything about them. But I'm expecting you to
deal with them, confront them, say something about them, not altogether avoid them! It's called being a shepherd, or your
brother's keeper. That's what it's like to have a shepherd's heart. It involves correcting things that you see are wrong. (II:631)

There's no way you're going to be able to drill love and kindness into human heads by force or discipline. The only thing
that will teach them love is love. (III:20)

I cannot protect you from the impact and the repercussions of allowing yourself to fall when you ought to know better. I let
you reap and taste the results. (III:54)

When folks start shifting their priorities away from Me, the results are tangible. That's why certain things happen in your
life that are like warning signs. (III:112)

What I gave you, I gave you because I knew you could handle it, and if at anytime you do fall into one of the Enemy's traps,
then you know by experience I know how to make you snap out of it real quick, because you've experienced My hand of
correction, and you always feel it upon you.
I've earned your respect, so to speak, and since "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," I let you continue and
grow on the path of wisdom, past its beginning. Go on, walk down the road of wisdom. It's a "downhill" road, alright, since
it won't take you to any high places in this world. Just like the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God, it's also the
other way around: the wisdom of God is foolishness to men.
So, you've got to get used to that "fool on the hill" image, but as the song says, "he knows that they're the fools" (III:130)

In the beginning it doesn't exactly evoke positive feelings to be corrected and shown that you were wrong, but in the end,
the sincere and true learners will be thankful.
Sometimes, love hurts. Sometimes there's no way around "the wounds of a friend" or "lashes of love." (III:137)

There's a purpose in everything, and "causeless the curse shall not come." There is a reason for punishment, and every
person should be interested and curious enough about the truth to find out what it was in their case. There are things to
learn from life. (III:153)

Sometimes My disciples make it so comfortable for themselves in this life that it becomes hard to part with those comforts,
and the thought of having to move on elsewhere becomes unpleasant for them.
When that happens, and you become too attached to this world, then you've backslidden in heart, and it takes My loving
chastisements to get you on the straight and narrow again. (III:162)

You can only make progress, you can only be corrected on something, if you're willing to admit that negative quality or
trait to yourself, and if you're willing to face it and see it.
There aren't many who allow Me to shine the light of My truth into the deepest and darkest regions of their hearts, like King
David prayed, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way
in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" (Ps.139:23, 24).
I'm not saying that people should spend time thinking about their sins, but I would recommend that they allow Me to show
them a few of their weaknesses and allow Me to help them overcome them and work on them. And one simply cannot start
overcoming a certain weakness until they become aware of it.
It's something they need to work on!
A coach shows the team its weaknesses. (III:175)

"Why Shepherding?" You need to be told the things that are wrong with you, since most of the time you simply don't see
them yourself, and accordingly, you'll miss out on full-scale reality somewhat.
People can turn into monsters without correction. (III:187)

Messes have to be dealt with, that's what shepherding is all about. Whereas nothing is getting sorted out if you just avoid
and ignore the issues.
Are you just going to watch the sheep go astray, simply because you don't want to cross them, and don't like the
confrontation of having to disagree with them?
Some messes simply have to be sorted out. You can't just leave them to rot under the carpet somewhere.... Sin or wrongs
of any kind need to be dealt with, that's what shepherding is all about, and to be neglecting that part of life is to be
neglecting one of your greatest God-given duties. (III:197)

You've got to go through times of purging; I can't make you what you ought to be without it!
Correction is a part of love. It may be disguised as something painful, but it is love nonetheless, love of a kind which
requires humility in order to be able to receive it... It requires humility to give and to receive it, and where there's no
humility, that part of love simply cannot flourish, and thus problems are bound to occur.
Where there's no readiness to receive correction, there can be no growth, and thus there is only stagnation. (III:201)
130
Kids need training and correction; even if they act as though that's the last thing on Earth they may need or want. Many
grown-ups aren't better than kids in that aspect... (II:313)

I, the Good Shepherd of your soul, must keep you and protect you, sometimes even by the sheer force of the
circumstances around you. I must close the doors which are not My good and perfect will for you. (III:207)

The art is being your brother's keeper without coming across like a party pooper or nagger... Quite a challenge, isn't it? But
that's what would determine a good leader and shepherd: someone who doesn't pull his punches, is not a man-pleaser,
but at the same time also remains Spirit-led in the constructive criticism and correction he does share. (III:223)

When the conquering kingdom is ordained by My hand, then you'd do better to yield to it and to welcome it and accept it,
even as My punishment, My way of disciplining the world for its sins that they are often unaware of, and thus self-
righteously defend their "innocence," which unfortunately only exists in their minds... (III:234)

When I apply judgment to people I'm trying to finally get their attention.
The judgment scare is very impressive and sobering, and I'm afraid we're not going to get around it in the long run.
What we want most of all is that folks pay more attention to Me, right? You'll be better off if they do, they'll be better off,
and I'll definitely be happier, too!
Pray for something that's going to get their attention and will make them listen up! (III:256)

If you really do your best and do all you can, it doesn't matter how little you accomplish in numbers.
I know when you have given your all, but I can also tell when there's yet more you could be doing for Me, when there's yet
a bit more of an effort you could make to really stay close to Me and within the lines of My perfect will for you.
And as long as you're not, I have to keep giving you those nudges, those little tokens and signs of correction, My "ho-
humms," so to speak, in order to wake you up to the fact that things could and should be better. (III:281)

Discipline is a very important part of love, and without it, there can be no love in today's world. Sin is something that's got
to be dealt with. Just as it wouldn't be love to never change your baby's diaper or never wash him or his clothes, so it isn't
love to just let them get away with sin, either. (III:347)

You see the relation between the words "white" and "wise?" The wise have been made white in the purifying fires of My
chastisement (Dan.12:10), those that are wise and shall shine like the stars (v.3), and they shall be made white during their
trials. (III:348)

I will purge and prune whatever needs purging and pruning. (III:353)

I dont want My believers to enter My Kingdom unprepared. I dont want those who truly love Me come before Me ashamed,
and thats why Ive got to show them, even in sometimes painful ways, when theyre going the wrong way, or putting too
much emphasis on something else than Me, giving their priorities to another, which in effect means, having another god
before Me, which I cannot tolerate. (III:376)

The heat of My refining fires, purification and cleansing is a natural part of the process of making out of you an instrument,
a vessel, or item of value for My use. Just like everything else, this pain and this purging also belongs.
My church needs cleansing, purging and chastisement to be made white from all her sins. So, it behooves you to take My
cleansing and chastisements with grace and allow it to happen and yield to it to welcome it, instead of rejecting it and
resisting it.
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy Word. What makes you keep My Word is My afflictions and
chastisements, the cleansing process, the opening of your eyes about the wrongness of your path.
Its an uprooting process, which causes the pain. I cant allow you to become comfortable with your sins, or too friendly
with the world, because friendship with the world is enmity with God (Jam.4:4). (III:408)

He that soweth to the flesh will reap the corruption of the flesh. If you focus too much on the creation instead of the
Creator and worship whats given instead of the Giver, youre bound to experience the repercussions.
I cant just let you go down the wrong track without doing anything about it. That would be a very irresponsible Parent.
(III:439)

In creating a spiritual diamond, jewel or gem when someone is becoming gold in spiritual aspects, every little lesson
involved in that process is important. The degrees of pressure and heat have got to be just right, the amount of adversity
you experience, before you can be taken out of the fire again to be cooled by My fresh pure waters.
Im not in love with what you do for Me, but with who you are.
Its not the blind type of love that mothers often have for their children, which sometimes fails to see the areas in which
their child would badly needs discipline. I know your impurities will be taken care of by the Father. That is why you are so
upset at Him at times, and it is He toward Whom your anger is directed when you know youre being chastened and things
are going rough for you. But all I see, My love, is who you are in the spirit, and the Father has put that love in My heart for
you that makes Me see only the good; I hardly notice the bad, which I know is only temporal, anyway. (III:457)

131
Sensitivity is one of the great hindrances to spiritual growth, because it wont let you take correction as you should and
thus prevents you from growing and learning by it.
Sensitivity-awareness is a vital pre-requisite to spiritual growth. If you realize youre reacting sensitively to correction, then
you must realize that this will endanger your growth and maturation process, unless you choose to fight and overcome it.
Correction and taking it used to be one of the most natural things in the world, but the Enemy has boosted peoples egos
to such levels that taking correction has become something more and more difficult for them, especially in Western
societies where the Devil has been undermining family values for decades, undermining the authority of the head of the
family and his role, undermining the authority of and respect for parents in general, all with the intent to destroy the family
per se. (III:493)

There comes a time when everyone will have to reflect about their sins and mistakes.
Say you are some kind of a prisoner in the situation youre in. Would you know what youre doing time for? Do you know
why youre there? Are you aware of the mistakes you made, the crimes or sins you have committed, the hurt you have
caused others? Do you think the disciplinary measures might possibly be justified?
Thats basically how it is in life: you encounter unpleasant circumstances, and you consider them unjustified, as if you
deserved better than that. But do you, really? If you believe in My love and justice, cant you also believe and assume that
the circumstances I am allowing to befall you are the precise set that you deserve and need in order to deal with your
mistakes and learn something from them?
The wrong attitude to have would be not seeing your sin and guilt and thus not being able to learn anything out of life and
lifes circumstances.
So, youre having to deal with a set of unpleasant circumstances. What are they trying to teach you? (III:512)

There will always be forces who will resist change, and who will resist the finger of the prophets pointing at weaknesses.
But being a brothers keeper is telling when you see something wrong.
Of course, it also takes that healthy measure of self-criticism and openness and honesty concerning your own mistakes,
otherwise, all that will come across will sound self-righteous.
What makes you real is the suffering I bring across your path without you trying to evade it. You eat it, and you dont
insist on Me having this cup be removed from you, but say, Nevertheless, not my will, but Thine be done.
Everybody has hard times and trials and sufferings in My service, but they dont always swallow the depth of all that there
is to learn from them. Not everyone is willing to really face the ugly truths about themselves that have brought their fate
upon them. (III:533)

To make a difference for Me and be a positive force for good in this world, and not go the way of all flesh and drift down
the stream of personal desire requires discipline and sacrifice. You cannot just allow yourself to be pampered like a baby
and still think youre being a revolutionary Christian! (III:566)

Every time you correct a child, or anyone for that matter, its really a token of love (Heb.12:6), as opposed to lazily just letting
them do as they please and ignoring the matter.
Its the sacrifice of love that you make in order to help them do better and the one part you can do in order to change the
situation for the better and correct it. Thats what correction amounts to: situation improvement. By approaching certain
people on the possibility of improving their behavior, youre ultimately improving your situation.
If you refuse to do it, the situation remains the same, or might possibly get worse, and it proves youre not much of a
leader, shepherd or parent, and basically shows a pitiful lack of conviction and courage. (III:578)

Just as youre finding out that your children in reality appreciate the boundaries youre setting for them, and really
appreciate the correction theyre receiving, so it is with most people: they want to be told the truth, even if it hurts. Of
course, if you can deliver it with the least amount of pain possible, then thats all the better. (III:596)

My silence makes you think.

Thats a neat feature and advantage of silence. It makes you think. It gives you room to think, for a change, and gives you a
break from all the endless noises and distractions which are trying to achieve just the opposite.
Silence gives Me room to move. Remember that its the space in-between the objects that does it. So it is in the acoustic
realm. The power lies within the empty, silent spaces between all the clamor and clatter.
When I get you to the point where in silence you contemplate and realize that all youve been up to lately was vanity, then I
get another chance to present to you My program, which, granted, may be a lot more low-profile than all the rah-rah and
ado of self-advertisement and aggrandizement.
Its back from the pinnacle of the temple of temptation to the hill of the humble cross, the true reality of what this world has
to offer for every one of My true followers
Its hard to disappoint Me, since I usually know ahead of time what youre going to be up to. But dont be surprised if
theres going to be a period of silence from Me, if thats what it takes to bring you back to your senses and make you think.
(IV:1)

Some of the circumstances you experience cause you to reflect negatively on Me, and you derive from them that I must not
love you anymore or not as much, and that I am punishing you for something. But even if that were the case, you must
remember that even My chastisements are an act of My Love for you, and if Im allowing certain of My blessings to be
withheld from you, or their flow to be reduced, then youve just got to trust Me that that is also part of My love for you, and
that I know what Im doing. You can rely on My wisdom. (IV:8)
132
Certain things just require consequences and action taken.
Youve got to repent and change your ways. Youve got to move on to a higher level. (IV:9)

Experiencing the fruits and results and consequences of evil is necessary for mankind in order to learn their lesson. (IV:20)

Sometimes I have to discard an unfruitful branch in order to purge and prune My tree, so that it will be ready and stronger
to bear more fruit. It may seem like a loss, temporarily, but time will usually tell and reveal that that which I have taken
away was necessary in order to make room to bring in new and better fruit.
I do with what I have while its available, but when the time comes, and a branch grows old, its wiser to cut it off and make
room for new fruit to grow. The pruning is painful, but the future fruit that will be gained through it will more than make up
for it.
No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit
of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. (IV:41)

I often give you what you want, rather than what you need sometimes, because I most of all want you to know that I love
you and to be sure of My love for you above everything else.
Once thats established, I know I can also give you a little needed correction, because youll be able to handle it then and
also receive it as a token of My Love. (IV:76)

It takes wisdom not to fall into the trap of carnal temptations, and usually that wisdom is only acquired by the experience
where that sort of temptation will lead the ultimate lack of real satisfaction and the disappointment and failure to keep
what it promised, or simply the price you have to pay for it in the long run.
Its not as though some people are 100% gold and the others 100% fake, but the content of gold varies in each one,
depending on how much of My refining process they have allowed Me to put them through.
Becoming gold is what life is all about, and the more you have experienced the refining fires of My chastisements, the
closer to the Real Thing your life will be, and the more of Me it will resemble.
The problem with todays society is that correction has sort of become a taboo, and instead of training their children and
young people in receiving correction, and allowing them thus to become refined, they just basically let them rot in their
own stew, meaning that many miss this process and original purpose in life completely, and accordingly wind up with
nothing much to show forth at the end of their road. (IV:119)

It takes effort to bring every thought into the captivity of the obedience of Christ. The mind wants to run free, like a wild
horse.
It takes a strong, skilled and experienced rider to tame it and bring it into submission. An obedient mind is like a well-
trained and reliable horse.
So, in order to train it, you have to bring it to Me faithfully for training classes where it can learn the rules and etiquette
of My Domain, in order to render you a useful knight for My Cause and Kingdom.
Often horses are ruled by fear and mistrust, and they have to learn trust for their master. They need to find out by
experience that their master is a reliable source of food and care for them, even better than if they run off and rely on their
own strength and wit. Other horses are ruled by a stubborn and angry temper, and yet others can get a little lazy, almost
like a mule, but I can bring out the best in each one, if Im given a chance to work with them.
Of course, its not just your mind I need, but your heart also. Once your heart feels at home and at rest with Me, your mind
will eventually follow.
You have to tell your mind whos the boss, similar to the way you have to let your child know, since otherwise it will just do
whatever it wants, and obedience becomes harder and harder then.
You can only train others as well as you have trained yourself, and you can only convince others of the benefits of yielding
to Me, if you have yielded yourself to Me first.
When your mind wants to run off, give Me your heart, and I will whisper into it and cause your whole spirit to be steady. I
will be your Heart Whisperer. (IV:133)

The limitations and boundaries are for your own good. You may tend to disagree, but you will see in the end that it was so,
and youll be very thankful for them.
Sometimes you have to save people from themselves and from the atrocities they would commit against themselves, and
you cannot just let them go down the road to ruin. (IV:147)

I have no other choice but to take the blessing away from you again, if it threatens to take the place of the Blesser in your
life.
I test you to see whether you are able to handle that extra blessing or not, and when it becomes a factor that stands
between you and Me and threatens to separate us and drive us further apart, then I will have to eliminate it again, and
simply take it away (IV:182)

Every now and then Ive got to remind you of Whos No.1 in your life, even if its by the painful process of removing some
of those blessings that you tended to allow to usurp that place. (IV:187)

When you decided to follow Me and accept Me as your Lord and Master, you also basically agreed that I am allowed to use
disciplinary measures in your life that allow Me to draw you closer to Me whenever necessary. (IV:221)
133
If I am correcting you and allowing you to pass through times of Gethsemane and purging, it means Im working
intensively on and in your life. Somethings happening there. Im doing something. And youre just going to have to trust
Me for it, that its going to be good. (IV:232)

Life has its ways of castigating you for your sins of thinking you were doing so great
You were doing better when you knew that you were not doing so hot
I want to make sure you know that its not because of your own merit that things have worked out.
It wasnt so much because you were on the right track as it was because I love you. It wasnt as much due to your own
goodness as it was due to My Love for you. (IV:241)

The question you will want to answer with a definite yes some day when youll get Here will be, Have I done all I
possibly could? And in order to make sure that this will be the case, I have to draw your attention in sometimes painful
ways, granted to the areas in which you could improve and that are hindering you from reaching that goal.
You could be doing more and giving more, and so, thats what Im drawing your attention to, and Im forcing you to
confront this fact and deal with it and see what youre going to do about it (IV:242)

Consider this a special opportunity to learn some special lessons in an intensive way, with special attention from Me, even
if the attention is manifested by the heat of the fires of My purging judgments
This calamity is there for a higher purpose, and some day you will see that meaning and purpose and will be happy and
rejoice over it as a token of My wisdom and My Love for you.
Right now all you can see and feel is the pain, but I promise you, there will come forth good fruit from it, and you will come
out better for it.
You must not be short-sighted and just look at the immediate, the pain before you, the loss, but you must look ahead at My
higher purpose in all of this, and trust Me that its out there, and you will see it, find it and experience it and benefit from it!
Dont look back, look ahead! (IV:327)

Disciplinary measures like prison terms usually take time, and are measured in time youre doing for whatever wrong
has been committed. Obviously, seriously erroneous behavior patterns cannot be changed effectively except over time,
and applying long-term disciplinary measures that really drive the point home, make the lessons sink in, and bring about
definite, lasting changes.
I avail Myself of your fellow humans as the most effective administrators of these measures, to discipline you, teach you,
straighten you out and to help Me teach you lessons that you would never ever learn from all the theory and friendly wise
counsel in the world.
The pain other humans inflict on you unfortunately is a much more effective teacher than anything I could ever tell you in a
life-time.
Being useless and not able to be used by Me is not the worst thing for Me, but for you. You will want to bring forth fruit in
this life in order to be fulfilled. Thats just the way folks are made
And as I have promised, each branch that is not bearing fruit will either be taken away or purged, so that it does bring forth
fruit. (IV:360)

You wonder what on earth might be My plan and intention in allowing all this misery to happen in your life. And certainly
youre not the first who does.
After all, anyone would prefer a life of ease and of joy and of happiness. So, why allow suffering?
Well, because its these hard times that really teach you something.
The good and fun times, well, theyre just that: good and fun times.
But when the heat is on and youre going through trials and troubles and tribulations in life, thats when you really learn
something.
You count the hard times not as gains, but losses. But I see it the other way around. (IV:379)

When I need to chasten you, then it really only happens in love and out of love and for your own sake. (IV:403)

There are those who always tend to choose the easy way and path of the least resistance. Since I know that that choice
ultimately isnt good for them or their character, how can I prevent them from spoiling themselves, becoming too softened
and pampered? You leave Me no other choice, and I think you agree with Me that some purging is needed in your life, if
youre going to be the kind of loving partner of someone that you would want to be.
Yes, the wind and sea are rough that I am sending your boat out upon, but only this way will you ever reach any significant
destination.
In order to make any difference at all - Me in your life, and you in this world - this is very necessary. Weve got to do this.
Weve got to get through this. Every one of My men, women, prophets, shepherds and world changers has had to go
through similar tests and breakings. (IV:412)

The only One Who is going to be able to effectively make a better man out of you am I, and precisely with the help of
breaking and sufferings and circumstances of the kind youre going through.
Human evil, sin and foolish, superficial attitudes, all that dirt is too tough and sticky to just be swept away with some gush
of water! It needs some serious scrubbing!

134
So, why not stop complaining and whining and just allow this process to go over you, and let Me have My way, making of
you the white, shiny and clean person that I know youd want to be?
A few honest tears havent killed anyone yet, they have a very purging and purifying effect, and if you ask Me, you deserve
them.
Youre not going to be crying forever, dont worry! But while it lasts, just be confident that those tears are going to fulfill
their purpose, and serve to make you change and want to change, and never want to go back to some of your old ways
again!
You have brought this sorrow upon yourself, and in order to avoid such pain in the future, youre simply going to have to
change your act! And Im helping you with it. Im helping you to seriously learn whatever lessons there are to be learned
from all this, so that you hopefully will never make the same mistake again. (IV:486)

Lovingly helping others to overcome their weaknesses and thus helping them to grow is precisely what being a shepherd
and teacher means. After all, a teacher is there to improve the knowledge and perception of his students, to help them to
do things better, in order for them to be better equipped to meet the challenges in life, which also means correcting those
things that arent quite perfect yet. (IV:491)

Its usually only after special, earth- or life-shaking events that folks, especially men, will take and devote serious time to
the undertaking of having their lives thoroughly examined, corrected and to make whatever changes are necessary.
It takes drastic measures at times to get them to do what Ive been asking, begging and repeatedly telling them to do all
along
It takes some shaking up for folks to finally get serious about it and to finally put first things first, give priority and honor
where it is due. (IV:498)

Words like correction and chastisement have become extremely unpopular in this day and age, but that doesnt change
much about the fact that man needs to learn to bear the consequences of his own choices and actions, period. (IV:535)

Unfortunately, often it is only the fear of judgment or of things going wrong that will give people the incentive to seek
change or improvement, without which there is stagnation, the Jonah Syndrome. The threat of impending doom seems
to do what no measure of love and sweetness can accomplish in some peoples lives, and thats one reason why
correction is so important. (2011:4)

I must allow you to reap the consequences of your actions to some extent. Youve got to find out by your own experience
what sort of thing is genuinely helpful, and which are not. (2011:8)

I deal with My followers weaknesses in the here and now, while most folks who are untouched by My chastisements will
have to deal with all that stuff later, in the Hereafter. Thats another reason why it says Judgment begins with the house of
God. I first must discipline My own, before I start purging the rest of the world.
Consider it part of the privilege of being a son of God: a perhaps not much appreciated one, but nevertheless equally
precious one to Me as any of the (other) benefits.
You may not see it as such (a benefit), but its just like many others of My blessings that often come in disguised form into
your life. You may not appreciate it much, but you will later, when you will see the results and the fruit that will have come
from it.
Its hard to be truly happy as long as youre selfish or lazy, and the most effective way for Me to deal with those traits is for
Me to rub them under your nose in concentrated form for you to deal with in another person. I give you some of your own
medicine, or rather, of your illness and virus, so to speak, and it serves as some sort of antidote. You simply dont want
any more of it after that. Its simply the most effective method. (2011:90)

Its the devils whole scheme to resent correction (of course, he considers himself perfect), and hes infested mankind with
that same bug of pride and resentment toward correction of any kind, and thats the basic dilemma of the times youre
living in: Correction has almost become something unacceptable, and the state of your society is a disaster, accordingly.
Theyre brainwashed into believing that correction is a negative, and the opposite of love, when its actually a very needed
and essential part of it. (2011:107)

Just as punishment, correction and hard knocks are hard to take for a child, but ultimately good for them, so it is with the
hard-to-take experiences you're going through. (2011:108)

When you see that there seems to be a general problem with receiving correction and discipline, you can assume that
theyre not going to be too eager to hear what they should be doing better, which is one reason why people let others get
away with flaws and shortcomings.
The people who tell you off and correct you, are actually better for you than the easy-going kind who let you do whatever
you want.
Its much more effective to let people reap and deal with the consequences of their actions and choices. (2011:129)

I have given the okay to go in the direction. But that doesnt mean I might not ever want to suggest corrections on how to
go about it or as you go; corrections in attitude, mindsets and motivations behind it all. And if theres a difficult and trying
stretch involved, you can always be pretty sure that this involves some process of purification. (2012:86)

135
Its never pleasant or a joyous event when I have to chasten, but afterwards, as it says, it brings the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them that are exercised thereby (Heb.12:11).
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy Word (Ps.119:67) is another passage that implies I do deal with
those I care about. In some ways its true, you punish yourselves by bringing it upon yourself; but then again there are
plenty of people who never seem to reap the punishment for their behavior during their life-times; so one would have to
wonder, How come those guys dont bring it upon themselves? Its that usually those kind of people dont even know
guilt or remorse. They have managed to shut up the voice of conscience described as Gods presence in man by
justifying their evil deeds on their own terms, usually a quite different religion, following My opponent, instead of Me, who
naturally wont punish them for implementing his evil plan.
I know, it seems unfair at times how bad people seem to be able to get away with a lot more without being punished or
reaping the consequences for it in life, while you have to suffer, but trust Me that you will be pleasantly surprised by the
final result.
Being punished or chastened or corrected by Me is a good thing, and you shouldnt murmur in your heart about it, but
actually rejoice: It means youre definitely one of Mine, and I do care about you enough not to let you get away with certain
behavior and becoming a rotter, but use these things to make you a better man. (2012:149)

One of the main discrepancies kids of nearly all ages have with their parents is about punishment: They resent it, usually
think its undeserved, or take on some sort of rebellious attitude toward it, sometimes manifested in some sort of self-
destructive behavior Sounds familiar?
So, yes, learning to take that part of My love for you is doubtlessly a major part of the challenge and lesson.
The problem is that folks automatically view it as a definite negative, when its actually a token of My love and care for you,
and thus a clear positive. So, just like trials and tests, its a bit hard to accept and welcome these lashes of love, but as is
promised, they bear peaceable fruit of righteousness as opposed to the mess you were before, so from the angle of
someone who wants to be right with God, it sounds like definitely the way to go, and something youd desire and not shun.
The truth is, theyre actually easier to take and are even less painful when you yield to them, and say, sort of like Mary to
the angel, Let it be done unto me as You please.
So, yieldedness to chastisement is a realistic part of yielding and submission.
Mans natural reaction to it is to rebel against it, to defend and justify himself. Few have the insight and humility we find in
Job, of saying, If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me.
In other words, Yes, its true: I deserve this punishment or testing, or whatever it is, and saying anything else, any attempt
at defending myself or arguing with God about it would be ludicrous and preposterous. (2012:154)

Ideally, love is supposed to be a better incentive for obedience than fear; but of course, when and where that doesnt work,
Ill have to manifest My love in the form of correction and discipline (2012:176)

If you have a hard time correcting others, and never warn them of the impending doom theyre about to bring upon
themselves, you might say, youre failing at whats supposed to be your job, too. (2013:18)

Taking correction in stride and without murmuring, complaining or feeling treated unjustly, is one of the lessons of life.
(2013:21)

It takes a strong effort not to yield to the temptation to allow the affairs of this life to swallow up every bit of your time,
instead of wasting it on a God the flesh doesnt deem good for anything, when it considers itself so much more reliable
And the more you become involved in the efforts of your flesh to make yourself prosper and advance, the harder it
becomes to even remember Me All until things start going wrong, and no matter what grandiose efforts the flesh
makes, the situation still doesnt seem to improve, but gets worse instead, and you suddenly remember Whos in charge,
and Whom youve neglected (2013:62)

Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth (Heb.12:6)

If I wouldnt be dealing with you, it would mean that youre not one of Mine. So, be comforted that when you notice your
sins, faults, flaws and weaknesses being dealt with, that its a sure sign youre a child of God
I cannot deal with them, because they have not chosen God as their Father; they havent chosen to be His child. They
prefer the things the god of this world has to offer them, and thus subject themselves to his rules, which basically consist
of, If you play the game by my rules and terms, Ill let you have whatever you want.
You didnt subscribe to that game and have consequently made it harder on yourself in many aspects in the short run. In
the long run well, thats another story. (2013:67)

My measures of correction are not always recognized as tokens of love, just as your child doesnt perceive them as such,
but they are, and essential ones, too. Without them youd just be getting worse. And what better and more effective way to
have you see the error of your ways than letting you have a taste of your own medicine from a second hand source? In
other words, putting you somewhat in My shoes, as much as thats possible? (2013:68)

If having your own fun is more important to you and you neglect your sheep and young ones, you cant blame Me for
allowing things to happen to correct you that may also test your faith
Correction is part of this school and teaching in life (2014:3)

136
When you try to make it without prayer, without My help, then its no wonder youll get around to experiencing some
weakening impacts and damaging results
Giving love is a better life method than constantly seeking it and pleasure for yourself all the time; and if youve been
making those mistakes for some time, you have to be ready to be corrected somehow in the Spirit If youve done wrong
in the flesh youll be corrected by the Spirit, if youve taken and received Her; especially if Shes expecting you to make
something better and more fruitful out of your life! (2014:7)

Not any deed that occurs to you will keep you blessed somehow
Some things just wont work; and you just have to be corrected (2014:12)

Letting things happen in order to change you wasnt all that bad in order to bring you onto a path and course of correction.
(2014:18)

Some of the things youre having to go through are bound to make you realize what mistakes in your life youre having to
correct
There are some things in your life that need certain degrees of correction and change of direction some turns from
wrong to right, or from not-so-hot until better. (2014:31)

When youre receiving correction for things youve done wrong, remember what My Word said about how those mistakes
made should be or are being corrected in My sons: My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of Him: For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth Now no
chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby (Hebr. 12:6,7,11). (2014:56)

If bad things are happening to you, remember that chastisement has always been something geared to those kids of God
who deserved it. (2014:72)

You just need to accept that I cant tolerate outrageous behavior from those who claim theyre My disciples, children of
God and going to Heaven, without dealing with some of the wrong behavior through chastisement, if youre truly born
again by receiving Me and a saved child of God. You cant just act like one of the enemys peers when claiming to be one
of Mine at least not without having to count on some chastisement and dealing with your obvious faults and wrongs.
And if you realize youve been doing some, repent. Do some genuine acts of repentance, before you might lose blessings
or reap chastisements. (2014:74)

Becoming humble enough to accept a spanking in life you deserved, may not be all that bad. (2014:84)

What it does risk, the committing sin for believers in life, is to receive spankings from the Father for it.
If you commit sins, youre going to have to put up with the fact that the Father will have to deal somehow with it.
Life, in many ways, is a way to deal with sin that one has decided to commit, just as Adam and Eve had to. Those who do
not believe in My Salvation will have to deal with it thereafter after their lives but those who do believe in Me and have
thus accepted My Salvation, must be prepared to handle their sins and according chastisements for them in this same life
they were committed. (2014:105)

Maybe its your punishment for giving others a lousy and rotten time beforehand, to get such a time yourself! (2014:106)

Its a bit hard to accept the toughness and hardness of life as a spanking when ones not used to dealing with their own sin
and wrong-doing, not even really aware of it (2014:122)

Dont be too offended for having been chastised by the things that happened to you in life!
See some good in it. - You will, eventually. (2014:129)

Putting your trust in your own strength as a believer in Me might not be the true sense of things. And when youre
absolutely not behaving properly, I might have to correct you (2014:142)

If youve been too spoiled by your life, it should be understandable for you that youve got to be drawn back into a proper
gear and shape through the sort of chastisement the Word of God promises for His children (2014:149)

It says in My Word (Hebrews, chapter 12) that I chasten those (or the Father does) who are supposed to do their job for Us (as
disciples and Gods sons and daughters), but dont for some reason.
The spankings He passes out to His children who dont quite obey Him and act according to His will are there for a good
reason.
You ought to know that theres chastisement waiting for you upon wrong-doings and neglect of what the Father wants you
to. (2014:156)

If you know youre going through some chastisement, you also dont have to be expecting something better, dont have to
feel disappointed, and just try to make it through somehow. You know from My Word that chastisements will happen where

137
and when needed, so, its time not to be acting spoiled, but be ready for what life brings and has in store for you, even if
its a bit rough! (2014:199)

Thats why chastisements occur: when improvement is needed. (2015:3)

When you realize you deserve the punishment youre getting and that life is handing you, the time can start during which
youll learn your lesson. (2015:39)

As long as youre aware of the fact that you deserve some chastisement for your sins, know that you deserve what youre
getting, its not as bad as when you wonder and are tempted to blame your Creator for the state youre in. (2015:55)

Some have to deal with their punishment in this life, and the others in the hereafter. Going to Heaven is definitely a better
Hereafter, but you might have to deal with the results of your sins in the here and now - A bit of the difference between
the saved and the unsaved. Their hell on Earth may not seem that much like hell at all, but for that, it might wait for them in
the hereafter
Everyone has to deal with their punishment, eventually, though. Thats why it always pays to live as loving and righteous a
life as possible though not always that easy. (2015:58)

Its tough when your own kid is giving you hard times, but maybe itll give you a touch of the feelings and experiences
the Father has to go through
Maybe itll teach you to be a sweeter kid of His yourself learning what sort of behavior makes it really tough for parents.
And it might also teach you the advantages of discipline and chastisement as youre having to experience yourself, as
opposed to the modern ways of raising kids.
Having to deal with rotten kids certainly helps you appreciate the advantages of discipline and castigation (2015:86)

Its good you repent from your bad deeds, and you have to admit that its the punishment of the bad times that befall you,
when you do. It definitely shows how desperately you need a major change. You cant always blame Me for the not so nice
things happening to you! You have to deal with them, remember that if they come, they must be from the enemy, and just
as there was with Job, there must be a reason for Us to permit those. Maybe to ultimately make a better man out of you
So, take it somehow, as it comes, and dont just blame it all on Me! Remember, there was a reason for Adam and Eve to
have to leave the Garden of Eden Paradise and it was one that they had caused themselves!
So, remember that the not-so-hot things happening to you are always caused by yourself, your own bad decisions, and
caused by something you better hadnt done! Disobediences of His children have got to be punished and dealt with
somehow. So, keep it in mind, and remember that theres always something youll reap for what you sow!
I know, theyre hard times for you now, but instead of blaming them all on Me, it might be better for you to remember that
there must be something that made you deserve them! (2015:115)

Take the chastisement for your sins in this life as something God-given and righteous! (2015:139)

To resist the temptations the enemy puts before you is one of the big lessons of life you should not neglect or fail to learn!
Its part of the battles you have to fight, and one of the jobs youve got to do one of the tasks you need to fulfill! Dont
neglect that! Otherwise, dont be too shocked if the amount of blessings in your life will be replaced by spankings and
chastisements! For, whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth (Heb.12:6). Dont
forget that!
Dont forget the fact that the reason it happens, is because He loves you! So, chastisements arent always something to
complain about, but reminders of the Fathers Love for you! (2015:148)

Youre receiving enough discipline during your life down there, so what kind of a heavenly Father would insist on
continuing to punish you forever, afterwards?
Some actions still need correction! And the part about it from the letter to the Hebrews (Heb.12:1,6) has been there for a
reason! Your actions will need correction, if you dont learn to correct them otherwise. That may be one of the
disadvantages of being a child of God, from human viewpoints, but at least you just have to go through them in the
temporal here and now, and not in the longer lasting there and then
Having to go through castigation in your temporal life already should be enough from a God of Love, and be comforted
that I agree with you on that one! How else could you be geared and moved by love, if fear of hell was still supposed to be
there?
Being a child of God also includes receiving His discipline on Earth, but it doesnt mean you can lose your Salvation
through not being perfect.
Youll have to learn some lessons, and some of them through things youd consider castigation in life. But it doesnt mean
youll lose your Salvation, or that for you, I died in vain. (2015:161)

Youre more aware of your faults and mistakes, and the only way to correct them is to become aware of them!
So, dont feel too bad about your mistakes and errors, but just take the measure of correction youre going through as
something obviously needed, and dont be too offended about Me letting it happen! (2015:163)

138
No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby (Heb.12:11). Its not easy to go through some castigation and dealing
from Up Above with your faults and sins, but trust Me, that in the end youll see the positive result!
Maybe its rough and tough for you right now and the time being, but afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness through it. (2015:164)

Let Moses example of punished anger keep reminding you to stay away from it as much as you can! Otherwise you may
reap what you sowed and might have to put up with some consequences of the Fathers anger you may have turned on
you, which may then call on you the kind of chastisement you have to deal with! (2015:165)

If youre going through some rough times, just bear with having to pay for some of the sins you committed and mistakes
you made, yourself! Especially when you can tell that the tough times upon the rest of the world are already coming soon
to let unbelievers reap what theyve sown.
See, if Jonah was swallowed by the whale when he decided not to go to Nineveh to warn its folks of the impending
punishment for their sins, he was the one being punished first which shows that My folks do get the punishment for their
sins first, before the rest of the world gets judged for theirs.
So, it doesnt have a very welcome or desirable result when you follow in the ways of the world, and do things that cannot
be blessed by Me, nor the Father. (2015:169)

When you deserve chastisement, it takes a bit of humility to accept it, instead of blaming Me or the Father for it. It takes a
bit of trust that We know what Were doing.
Well, you needed some correction; and the way you still behave when youre upset, you realize you still doso you might
as well get into the groove of taking it! (2015:171)

Chastisement from Above is a symbol of love, even if it may not seem much like it! Its to bring out the best in you through
repentance and learning to do better than you did before, and to learn the lessons from your mistakes, failures and
shortcomings. Of course, not very pleasant to have to deal with the results of your own failures, and a humbling and
painful experience, but well, thats the way to learn the lessons from former mistakes.
Even if it all hits you like a painful spanking and chastisement if you can humbly accept it as something you deserve, itll
definitely serve you more than rejecting it.
Spankings for ungodly behavior are painful. Thats the way it goes. Its not supposedly fun to be corrected for sinful acts.
Eventually theres a time folks have to learn from their mistakes
Failure has to teach something and its not just a procedure of fun.
Keeping the heavenly life thereafter selfishly for yourself without sharing it with others is not something I can in any way
approve of without punishment handed out accordingly! (2015:188)

Make yourself and your own actions mainly responsible for any negative incident that happened to you as punishment and
lesson to act better! (2015:243)

The hard times are not just punishment, even if some of what youre going through may be correction for some mistakes
youre making Wed like you to settle. (2015:244)

Even if its a bit painful at times, having to go through the lessons to learn from mistakes made, or ungodly behavior, Im
afraid youre just going to have to accept it and deal with it. Take it as what you deserve, even if it doesnt strike you as a
great part of love to have to put up with chastisement for your sins and wrongdoings
It may be a toughie youre having to go through, but trust Me and Us that itll serve its purpose, and youll understand it
and accept it some day, when Well show you what things would have become like without any correction from Above.
(2016:12)

Having to find out how tough it can get, having to raise and deal with spoiled kids, drives home the point of the necessity
of some chastening and discipline, without which life can be pretty rough and tough for parents (2016:19)

Disciplinary rules and methods turn out to be good for ones behavior and character.
What used to be tough to remember from your previous views has turned into something youd almost consider a
blessing and, well, it may help you to understand why theres a tough future predicted that mankind will have to go
through.
If the enemy eliminated all the disciplinary standards from young folks the Bible prescribes, is it any wonder that
eventually the world turns into a state where it needs discipline from Above? (2016:26)

Youve got to learn to take chastisement as a positive, and dont just see it as a negative!
Receive it as something to make more of the type of person out of you I want you to be! (2016:80)

Just as discipline and chastisement had their positive effect on your kids, are you ready to assume that the same applies
to you? - The learning of the lesson that you reap what you sow, the result of your actions and behavior, the choices
between positive and negative, showing patience and compassion to others, and on and on? (2016:102)

139
To disobey the health rules against your body, a temple for Gods Spirit, resembles sin which cannot go on without results,
which means: correction and punishment. (2016:124)

If whats coming out of the mouth shows and manifests whats in the heart, and the wrong type of words come out of
there isnt that a confirmation of the fact that what the world needs is correction and chastisement? (2016:162)

The Scriptures about punishment for bad, evil and sin couldnt have been as far off the beam as most folks nowadays
claim. So, let them reap some of the fruits of their contradicting the Scriptures!
Some wrongs just have to be corrected. If not, youll just reap more and more of the evil the devils sowing into the world,
and it also explains why there will have to be utter punishment of the wicked at the end of the history of what they
managed to make out of Our originally Heaven-like creation. (2016:202)

Taking castigation in humility is a lesson for many to learn. (17:1)

History will show why correction is needed. Without it well all see what the attitude along the enemys slogan, to do-as-
you-like without consideration of whats right or wrong, no results or consequences to count on, leads to. (17:80)

140
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Creation (/Creator)

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse (Romans 1:20)

It isnt a bad thing to want to know how the World was created, and yet, when it comes down to it, it all remains a matter of
faith and what you or they are willing to put faith in: whether it be Me, My Word and the supernatural, or the finite
reasoning of man. (I:2)

Bringing forth new fruit is not a process that can be achieved in a rush. You dont just pop a seed in the ground and plop
an new tree or plant stands there, but first the seed has to remain in the soil, be moistened and warmed, until its shell
grows soft and breaks open. Then a tender shoot pokes out its tiny white tip at first, then it grows, and after a while you
see the first tiny leaf on the surface. I specify in quality fruit. Quantitys alright, but quality is better. (I:11)

Other worlds,... other dimensions..., other realities..., they all have the same core, the same Creator, and the essence is the
same everywhere and in all of these: love, light and life, they are one, and they are to be desired. (I:52)

All these things from My hands: milk and honey. And yet, so many, so often take it for granted. They dont see the myriads
of miraculous processes needed in order to get these things to you: the precision in the exact right distance of the sun
from the Earth in order for plants to grow... water... people never realize what a miracle water is. They just take it for
granted and waste it, waste it, waste it... But soon, all this flow of blessings will come to an abrupt halt, and everything
willfully wasted now will be willfully wanted then. (I:96)

Youve got to have some kind of contrast against which you can see the light. It works like this in many other aspects of
My creation. (I:105)

Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone... On its own, the grain of wheat doesnt do much
good. And down there in the darkness it doesnt see, feel or perceive much but its immediate surroundings: the earth and
the worms, an occasional mole or bug. But if it absorbs the heat of My sunshine and the waters of My rain and lets its shell
become soft, something inside starts growing, which finally wants to burst through the shell of your former confines. And
thats the moment when your old man dies to make room for something new, something greater than your former self.
And as you grow steadily heavenward, finally you see the light and eventually find yourself side by side with many,
countless other stalks of grain. Your roots intertwined with theirs, you sway and dance in the wind in unison, youre not an
individual entity anymore, alone no, that lone self and former you has died youre one with the harvest now, ready to
bring forth much fruit. (I:122)

Independence from Me is as if the Earth would declare its independence from the sun and drift off into space. Ive written it
all over My handiwork: you need Me, you cant do without Me any more than a fish can do without water, a plant can do
without light, no more than you can live without air: without Me, you can do nothing!
With all their knowledge about the intricacy of My creation, of how complex everything is, they still refuse to accept Me,
just because that would be too simple... (I:129)

I am the Great ANYHOW! My specialty is to do things in spite of the unfavorable circumstances and against all odds. The
very existence of life is a proof of that. I am He Who creates something out of nothing; in fact, everything. (I:130)

Consider My heavenly Light that Source of energy you need in order for your spiritual flower to really come to full bloom
and blossom into its full beauty! So far, you have felt its warmth and it has pulled you up above the ground from the depth
of the cold, dark Earth; you have soaked in My water and rain, but now you must open up your petals fully and look fully
into My wonderful face! (I:142)

There is always an upgrade and an improvement on each of My creations in the physical! Everything down there, on Earth,
is only a shadow of a heavenly reality... an image of something greater to come. (I:151)

The drawing power, the suction, the empty space you create in you for Me to fill is the way to happiness and fulfillment. I
can answer every question if youll but ask, solve every problem you put Me in charge of, fill any need and empty space
you open for Me! All nature is full of examples of this principle: Every creature seeks her mate to unite with, so together
they can bear fruit.
Everything is a sample of how My love, My heart seeks you and yearns for union with you.
Most people never even acknowledge My presence nor existence at all, blatantly denying the possibility of My existence in
spite of the plain evidence all over My creation. Imagine your children just simply refusing to acknowledge your very

141
existence! No, Ive got no father! I simply came into being by an unplanned, random process called evolution... If you
think you have reasons to be frustrated sometimes, all I can say is Welcome to the club! (I:156)

Have you watered your little plants? Have you cared for your garden? Have you been faithfully sowing My seeds into their
hearts? (I:173)

Every day is an intricate new creation of Mine, full of many planned and coordinated processes, innumerable activities
behind the scenes... (I:181)

No ocean or mighty river without the tiny little drops of water, or the even tinier water molecules, and likewise, no greater
love than this without all the tiny little, but consistent and constant manifestations thereof.
No babies without tiny little, invisible-to-the-naked-eye sperms and eggs, no body without tiny little cells... Its the tiny little
faithful actions and deeds of love that make Love the greatest thing in the universe. (I:248)

When theres a need, it creates a vacuum. Its 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:259)

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 and minimize Our potential to near impotent, instead of what it really is: omnipotent!
(I:386)

Nobody's interested in their Creator, nor in finding out what He's got to say, they're all too enwrapped and busy with
creation, trying to keep it functioning. They need to get back to their Maker and refer to the Manual or call the service
hotline, but it won't even occur to them. So, they all keep trying to fix the damage themselves, just like Joe in the story,
who was working in the airplane factory and didn't call the Boss when something went wrong and wrecked the machine...
That's a typical picture and illustration of mankind... (I:428)

Sometimes the solution consists in separating two factors so that we can get a closer look at them individually. Progress
and growth comes by parting cells. In order to bring forth growth, the cell needs to divide and multiply. "Except a grain of
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." So it is also with cells. The
disintegration of things, the spreading of things, the partition of things, especially of living things, is one of the great
secrets of life and of the universe. First two cells get together: the sperm and the egg. They unite as one and form a new
entity. Then that has to part many times and develop into a new baby.
For the baby to grow, you're going to have to do some splitting. Otherwise the baby will die. No new life that could have
been. No joy brought to all those it would have touched. Just the sadness that death and stagnation brings.
The smaller unit has to die in order to give way to a greater new unit... That's the secret and principle on which all living
things are founded. Cell partition. (I:446)

Take a hint from Me, the Creator of all things, and Master of precision: you'll get more done, and you'll do it a lot better, by
not ignoring the little details! Details are important! Tiny little herbs and spices can completely change the entire flavor of a
big meal. Tiny little strokes and touches make the big picture come to life. Tiny little thoughts gear the actions of people,
big and small, and tiny little words can make the difference between life and death... Tiny little atoms and molecules, the
building blocks of the entire, gigantic universe... Tiny little sperms and egg cells uniting into a new human being,
consisting of innumerable more little cells.
To Me, every little detail matters. Every little hair on your head, every little sparrow, every little word you say.
Even all of eternity consists of tiny little moments, as does the ocean, of tiny little drops... One of these days you'll just see
how much I am into details: every man and woman being faithful in doing just the tiny little thing they can do. (I:494)

I want you to see My creation in each other, the new man or woman, which I'm making you, the king, queen, prince,
princess, priest or priestess you're going to be when I'm done with you - by faith. Don't look at the old man with their faults
and human failures, but at that which you're going to be! You've got to look in the spirit, through My eyes, through the eyes
of love, faith and hope. (I:495)

The devil is so scared of you, fighting you like crazy because he knows he's going to lose victims out of his clutches of
hell, and they're going to have heaven happening in their lives. That ingredient of Heaven is like a poisonous, deadly virus
to his kingdom, his system, his Matrix! It totally busts it! It's like what the Spring does to the snow! It breaks the cold spell
of winter and just makes it all melt away, and everything becomes possible again: where there was only cold and grey, all
of a sudden, life springs up again everywhere!
You can be like that to those people! You can be like the sun of Spring to them! (II:77)

Worship of creation isn't going to bring the same satisfaction and fulfillment as the worship of the Creator. (II:191)

The tale that there aren't any absolutes is just one of those poisonous lies of the devil. Just because he put his own curse-
resulting filter of "less-than-perfect" over My creation, in order to hide the perfect from man's view, doesn't mean there is
no perfect!

142
Since man didn't want to whole-heartedly embrace the perfect, but rather chose the option of doing his own thing and be
his own "perfect enough," I allowed life to be imperfect, with Me and the perfection of the Spirit World being invisible; in
other words, with man groping around through life blind to all that's perfect.
They're starting to see the mathematical impossibilities of all the perfection in creation to have occurred by itself. But it
still doesn't cause many of them to stop and pause long enough to find out what I've got to say. As long as there are other
things they're more interested in. How about you? How interested are you? (II:245)

The Light and Power of Love are not exactly the same form of energy as electricity, but it's very much like it. Electricity is
its physical counter part, and an illustration of the even greater, spiritual Power of God's Love. (II:288)

Things break. They deteriorate. They don't get better or improve by themselves, as the evolutionists claim.
The only way to grow is in the spirit, because your natural man decreases. You have to sow to the immortal, the spirit.
Nothing in this world lasts forever. In fact, time is running out. Your natural stature is diminishing, deteriorating. The only
way you can actually gain something that will last is by giving away what I've given you. (II:289)

All of creation is connected and intertwined, the separations are only temporal. (II:302)

The term "blindness" really describes the human refusal to see just how much I am engaged in caring for creation. (II:305)

Seek My mind, and My ways of seeing things: the beauty in the imperfect, in the humble and childlike, and escape the
thinking of the carnal mind, which will only criticize, belittle and complain about all the innumerable little imperfections you
see in My creation! (II:310)

Many people see the devil in sex, just because he happens to use it. The question is, who created sex? Me or the Devil? I
did. You can see Me in everything if you look hard enough. It's a greater weakness to see the Devil in everything than
trying to portray Me and My story even if there are elements in your portrayal that the Devil uses, too!
The Scribes and the Pharisees even saw the Devil in Me! They accused Me of being a devil, and so the modern Scribes and
Pharisees of the churches accuse those with greater freedom than what they have, of the same.
Open your eyes! There's so much more to see! Everywhere! In My creation, even in a simple story! The world is full of
wonders! Blessed are they who see them! How miserable are those who see the Devil in everything!
My story is everywhere! There are those who decry astrology and astronomy, when My Word clearly says that "the
heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork... there is no speech nor language where their
voice is not heard..." (Ps.19:1,3). (II:332)

Anybody who chooses to worship creation (or even worse, the creations of man), over the Creator, will reap the
repercussions of that decision. (II:344)

Right now they're ignoring their Creator, and I'm letting them get away with it for them to find out what the results will be.
(II:372)

You were thinking of the loss of information in micro-evolution, and remembered that you read in a news article that fruits
and vegetables are not as nutritious anymore as they used to be. They may look better through all that genetic
"enhancement" and manipulation, they may in some cases even taste better, but they actually aren't any better as far as
nutritive value and health factors are concerned. And you were wondering how this coincides with people, how they
actually seem to look better on the surface, almost as if to prove evolution right, but that they aren't any better when it
comes to true and lasting values. They've actually lost a lot of quality and "information" when it comes to that.
Although the best is yet to come in the world to come, as far as this momentary age is concerned, everything that has
derived from the originals has deteriorated somewhat in the copying process. While some things seem to have gotten
better on the surface, technology has improved, progressed and developed, and so have commodities, enabling people to
live at much greater ease than ever before, which again enables them to put much greater emphasis on superficial things
like their looks than ever before, which may give a certain appearance of genuine improvement; when it comes to a good,
deep look beneath the surface, there is actually no genuine improvement of life there. As people are finding out: with all
the devices they're inventing to save time, yet they always seem to be running out of time and seem to have less time than
ever.
That's why it pays to see things the way I see. That crummy looking root or vegetable your forefathers ate may have well
been a much greater source of vitamins, minerals, and thus health and nutrients, than all that "too-good-to-be-true" almost
plastic-like food they sell nowadays. And their hard and rough life-style may have rendered them greater genuine
happiness than all of today's technology and gimmicks can give you.
A lot of people may think that they are better than their forefathers, that they may have "evolved" and progressed, but an
objective, un-biased look and comparison might tell a different story, in which many of those who have lived before would
shake their heads at the arrogance of today's population, to actually fall for such a gross deception to think that they have
improved, when, according to lasting standards and values, it is rather plain that man has deteriorated. (II:445)

Some people would rather give up on it already. They say, "Let's get outta here! Take me to Mars or someplace, just outta
here!" They're going to get a big surprise when they'll see what I'm still going to do with this place, and how wonderful and
glorious it's going to be! They're going to feel quite foolish and ridiculous then for having given up on this ol' planet a bit
too soon. First of all, it's not nearly as old as they've all been fooled into believing it is. It seems to be one of the devil's
143
favorite tactics, making everything older, telling everybody how old they are, making them feel old, useless, outdated, etc.
When you don't have any idea how young you are! Compared to how old you're going to be some day!
The Earth is practically still a baby. But of course, the devil has never shied back from killing babies, either! But I'm going
to save this baby, just as the Father saved Me from Herod's hand. (II:505)

In all living organisms, there are good things that work toward the furtherance and enhancement and procreation of life,
and there are negative things, which also have their time and purpose, such as bacteria and other parasites, which are
present a-plenty in any body, and just show that there is a war to be fought.
Those bacteria are not your actual enemy, but help to keep and make your body strong for the actual fight. (II:516)

The entrance of My Word giveth Light, it creates the difference between that darkness of an empty and meaningless life
and one that sees purpose and fulfillment in everything. Everything is orchestrated by Me, everything visible is only a
physical result of some spiritual truth, and thus there is a plan behind it.
I'm urging you to see the invisible cause of the visible more, to open up your spiritual eyes, the eyes of faith. If you see the
physical as a result of the Spiritual, then it simply takes on a lot more meaning.
You'll know that nothing is without guidance, nothing is by chance; it's all going somewhere, and thus you develop much
greater faith and trust with which to walk through every day of your life, and which you can then impart to others, too.
Every day should be a vast scope and canvas of opportunities for you, of things to learn, and things to pass on. It
shouldn't ever just be a struggle for survival. (II:523)

The forces of gravity, speed and light, etc., are all parts of one great force, namely Mine, and you can avail yourself of it
through prayer! (II:544)

There's a lot more detail to everything. It takes time to get an accurate picture of everything. I don't paint in black and
white. My palette of colors is as infinite as My creation. There will never be a lack of surprises, of new discoveries, of new,
unexpected twists and turns in events. You will never be able to say, "Now I know everything there is to know..."
There will always be whole new worlds and dimensions to discover, new angles from which to see things, new additions to
make your scope wider, which will burst your former limits. (II:576)

Play the role you were created you to perform! (II:625)

Rely not on your own understanding, your own strength, not on luck, but on the Creator of all things! (II:655)

I created the animals to illustrate human behavior in many ways, but to base your knowledge about humans on the
assumption that human behavior stems from the animals, is not exactly conducive to genuine wisdom, nor real solid
knowledge about the human psyche.
Unfortunately, by denying the true origin of the human spirit, man is often somewhat reduced to that animal state in which
they believe they are in the first place, for "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." If he believes he is an animal, an
animal he shall be. And the more people there are walking about, thinking they are animals, the more it seems to confirm
that delusion. The "herd instinct," "Monkey see, monkey do." (III:45)

Although My signs are everywhere, and My handwriting is seen all over creation, it is only few who are able to see it. Only
few are able to make out My path, because the majority choose to look out for other things. People primarily focus on the
things they are interested in, and My still small voice of truth that promotes the path of humility is inaudible to the majority.
(III:67)

Man was the master over creation and over the animal world, and when he turned from Me, he was leading his entire
kingdom away from Me. The result was enmity. That's what the enemy does, he sows enmity wherever he can: enmity
between people, even hostility between brothers and sisters, enmity between animals, and enmity between man and
animals. If you follow the enemy and his way, you'll reap enmity.
The reversal of that process is My way of friendship, of Love, of peace, the original way, it's "back to the Garden." Back to
the place where all is in harmony with each other, with its Creator. They way of union, of unity. (III:103)

The machinery of life is very delicate and intricate, and you wouldn't want to mess with certain factors, or you'll disturb
and unravel the equilibrium of life.
The secret of the beauty of creation lies in the exact proportions.
Some folks think I just slapped things like air, water and earth together, nothing much to it; but each of them are very
carefully concocted combinations of ingredients following strict measurements and an exact balance, otherwise the result
wouldn't have been the same. (III:112)

The sun is a very good illustration of what each of you can be: either a source of life, or a scourge. It all depends on the
right balance, and whether you agree to make sure to always abide by My rules and parameters: the exact distance and
timing I have laid down for earth's rotations both around its own axis and around the sun, etc.
You are My stars. You're the stars of My show, and you become, bringers of life in this world, sources of words of wisdom
and the pivots on which hinges the equilibrium of all, without which there would be a false balance which would cause
everything to collapse.

144
Once you've become a sun, you don't revolve around them anymore, your path isn't dictated by their rules anymore, or
whatever circumstances they dictate on you, but you become the pivot around which things revolve, you determine the
rules and the course of events. (III:141)

Pressure is one of the physical forces in the universe that get things moving, and without pressure, there's stagnation.
(III:171)

There are two sides to nearly everything. There is a good and a bad side to even all apparently bad things, as well as to
seemingly purely good things. That's one of the side effects of the curse, that everything has a shadow side to it, a dark
side. Even sunshine: you get too much of it, and it can ruin the crops, or your health, and cause whole lakes to evaporate...
Chalk it up to the great party pooper of all times to see to it that even the most perfect aspects of My creation have some
drawback to it, a result of the curse.
Even water, as necessary it is to make all life possible, can also drown you and bring death.
Too much air can pop the balloon or - in the form of a storm - tear down your house.
It's one of the mysteries of creation: the dual nature of things.
No wonder some folks cooked up the Yin and Yang philosophy, because that dual nature and coexistence of good and evil
seems to be prevalent and permeate all of creation.
What they don't see is that it is a result of the curse which man's choice to believe Satan, rather than obeying Me, has
brought into the world, and that this may be the nature of things presently, and temporarily, but it is not the order of things
according to My eternal laws. The darker side of things is programmed for elimination, as impossible as that may sound to
the carnal mind. (III:311)

We have to strengthen and fortify the cell from its core, before you can consider cell partition, multiplication and growth.
You've got to establish and make sure you've got a healthy cell and unit first, before you're thinking of making that
organism grow.
There is such a thing as "natural selection," only that nature itself doesn't do the selecting, I do.
Of course, I've got oodles of helpers to join Me in that endeavor, which aren't recognized by scientists, because they can't
see'em, and so, because they can't see what's going on, they accredit it all to "nature." They don't recognize that nature
has a Source. They don't realize that there's more to nature than meets the eye, because of the invisible, driving and
creative force behind nature.
Those scientists have been looking for signs of intelligence in outer space, when the vastest source of intelligence was to
be discovered right at home, on the level of the tiniest living unit known to man.
There's a time for everything under the sun, and the time for exploring the universe hasn't really arrived yet before you've
explored your own little universe at home. (III:326)

There is a certain order required at every basic level of the universe, and at the basis of every smallest unit, in order for
things to work. If you just allow them to decay and deteriorate, there won't be progress, but regress; you'll fall behind
instead of making headway.
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. (III:328)

You've got to look at Me first! Without looking at Me first, there's no use looking anywhere else, because all you'll see will
only drag you down. So, come and have a good, long look at Me!
All those scientists looking at creation without Me on their minds stare out into space and figure that the earth must only
be one random, coincidental little planet among the vastness and diversity of the sea of stars and planets. They look at
"the evidence" on earth and figure it all must be millions of years old. What comes out is a worldview of vast, endless
nothingness and meaninglessness: no plan, no Planner; no purpose, because there is no purpose Giver.
If your focus is primarily on Me, you'll look at the dinosaurs and won't see "millions of years," and out into space and won't
see the earth as a random speck of dust, but you'll see My hand in it all. Sure, you may be tempted to wonder, "Lord, what
on earth did You make dinosaurs for?" But you'll reach the conclusion that like everything, I have also made them to
illustrate certain things: some people are like huge, greedy monsters, devouring everything in their path. Some of those
giants are peaceful and slothful, and yet can be dangerous, simply because of their weight and size. My whole creation is
full of drastic differences in size, and just because some things are way bigger than you are, or some stars are way bigger
than your planet, doesn't make you or earth less relevant. Let it teach you that size isn't everything! What makes you really
precious is what you're made of.
A huge piece of rock or mountain may be impressive, but still not be worth as much as a fraction of its weight and size in
gold. It's all about finding the true treasures among the vast rocks in this life.
People are always impressed by size, neglecting the beauty and importance of little things and thus coming to wrong and
erroneous conclusions. More is sometimes less. A tiny diamond is more valuable than a ton of rocks. Are you smart
enough to spot the true treasures in life among all the impressive, but often worthless big and huge things? (III:342)

When you get your eyes off the Creator and instead become too obsessed with creation, and you start worshiping the
creation instead of the Creator, that sin gets in and contaminates and ruins something that could have been pure.
If you focus too much on the creation instead of the Creator and worship whats given instead of the Giver, youre bound
to experience the repercussions. (III:439)
145
The genetic information for any complete life-form is already there in its simplest state. Although the outward appearance
may change over time, the essence, the gist, the information in its genes, does not change.
The genetic code of God, so to speak, is permanently good and reliable, nothing can change about that, which is the
essence of the message, I, the Lord, change not. You can count on Him, trust in Him. Hes not going to turn bad on you.
With Him, it can only get better. (III:443)

Putting the creation above the Creator is idolatry. (III:446)

Creation is all else but uniform; otherwise We would have restricted it to a lot less variety in species and kinds.
The abundance in variety in creation ought to give you a glimpse of the liberty We want to give folks, the crowning
creation, to be whoever they want to be, and whatever is put in your hearts to be. (III:499)

Plugged in to Me, you are strong, because then we are together, and its not you functioning on your own anymore, as a
separate little entity, but youre plugged in to My circuit, a part of My gigantic, universal network, the network of My single
spoken sentence, (uni-verse) where I utter a phrase and it is done, Our creation magic. (III:574)

Everything that is alive breathes Me in and out, and I, in return, in- and exhale you, all of My creation. Its a supernatural,
and yet natural process in the spirit world, comparable to the process of photosynthesis in the natural world. (III:587)

To disrespect creation is to disrespect Me. (III:597)

Some of the laws of nature that are in place today were not part of the original equation. But since death entered through
disobedience, things naturally tend to decay. Things are getting worse, not better, and that process isnt going to be
reversed until I return to restore things to the way they were before
My input is the same Power that brought the original positive chain reaction of Creation into being, and which will restore
it in the end, too, when all will have learned their lesson, or the big basic chapter of this part of history will be concluded.
It was impossible for the Earth to hang there for days without the sun and the rest of the stars All it took was Me being
there and upholding it, making the impossible possible. (IV:54)

All creation groans to be delivered of the grip of the usurper. (IV:65)

The right choice to make is to accept Me, to integrate and include Me, and to acknowledge Me, to seek Me in My Creation.
(IV:79)

Things in this world deteriorate and fall apart

They dont improve, as the evolutionists claim. Thats one of the qualities of this world, and Satan is trying to create an
appearance of the opposite, by creating artificial enhancements on the surface, that create the illusion of improvement,
while the real body underneath keeps deteriorating and slowly rotting away.
Im literally having to allow this world to die in order for it to become desperate enough to finally accept and welcome My
return to reclaim My own. (IV:85)

Things are a little more complicated, a whole lot less transparent and clear than man would have it, which also makes it a
little harder for him to believe how a God in His right mind could have ever created such a seemingly chaotic world.
Because how carefully designed and how intricately it is truly organized only appears upon second or third glance.
The universe is made in such a way that it cannot all be figured out easily upon first glance, analyzed and wrapped up in a
single formula, and then to be said of: Here, this is it. All youve got to know. Nothing more to find out It takes a bit of a
greater effort to figure it all out than even todays advanced scientists have managed.
Theyre wracking their brains on that challenge to outsmart God, to show that they could either do without Him or outsmart
Him, and thats in a way precisely why it is a bit more complicated than some would have it. Its a constant testimony to the
fact that its not all that easy to outsmart God, and that a Genius has been at work here; a Master Mind indeed, and well, if
you want to try to beat Him at His own game, good luck! (IV:111)

The moon revolves around the Earth, while the Earth revolves around the sun, which is the source of its light and life, and
also for the moon, and is immensely bigger than both, Earth and moon.
So am I to you. The moon is necessary to keep you stable, but it is I Who provide you with light and life and warmth. The
sun definitely plays a bigger role in earths life and survival than the moon, even though the moon is also necessary and
indispensable.
It is the sun you derive your nutrition and energy from, and when it comes to Me, your spiritual Sun, I also regulate
everything else, the forces that keep your spiritual universe in order, along with the physical forces control the universe.
The more you establish the importance of your revolving around Me, your Sun, the more stable you will be as a factor for
their lives to revolve around. Its the order of the universe, symbolic of spiritual laws that govern the World that for you
right now remains unseen. (IV:117)

You must learn not to turn toward the creation and manifestations for the fulfillment of your hopes and expectations from
life, but to the Creator, to the Source of everything. (IV:129)

146
Its only the false input and information of the devil, the apostate, that added confusion, error and flaw to Creation. (IV:134)

Faith is the one single proclaimer of what the large majority would never have the audacity or courage to embrace: the
utterly preposterous option that I, in spite of all the evidence man claims he has for the world being millions, nay billions
of years old, should have made this thing in 6 short days, and not much longer than 6000 years ago (IV:165)

It is My Fathers will for His creations and sons and daughters to progress, and not to stand still, but to advance. (IV:193)

The majority of folks give all the credit to creation itself. They have become just as they have always been since the
beginning worshipers of the creation rather than the Creator.
Are you going to make the same mistake, or do you have the guts to constitute an exception and make a difference by
defying their mindset of unbelief? (IV:222)

Creation is actually quite complex. Its way more complex than anything the evolutionists could have ever cooked up. And
complex simply doesnt happen by itself. (IV:272)

Just as youre going to have to trust Me for having made you thus with all your flaws, some of which you would have
known better not to include in your creation, so youre going to have to trust Me for the way I made others. (IV:449)

You have to keep an eye on not putting creation in a place in your heart above the one reserved for the Creator. (IV:455)

I delight in creating perfection from imperfection. Perfection is not achieved in a hurry.

Anything that grows and is alive, that is part of creation, needs to go through a certain process in order to come out really
good.
Creation may have been good when looked at after the six days it took, but as it turned out just a little while later, it
wasnt exactly perfect yet, and I am now in the process of perfecting that which was merely good to begin with. (IV:492)

All of creation and this Big Picture is much a matter of waiting to see how things will pan out. (11:32)

You can show the world that theres a better way to do it, namely by not ignoring the Creator of the game, but including
Him in it! (11:87)

Your help comes from the Spirit which made Heaven and Earth, not from any angle of His creation. All creation groans to
be delivered along with you. (11:127)

Its true that all things are connected somehow; and yet, as is clearly seen, there is also a great separation and division in
creation. You feel like you ought to be connected more to them, but the problem is, theyre disconnected from Me, and in
large part, from each other and all of creation, by lies and selfishness, hatred and well, basically, all that can be called
sin. (12:106)

Evolution is so ridiculous: the notion that everything should have come from nothing. It came into being out of nothing,
alright; but only through God and His creative Power, and Hes Everything.
So, tap into that Everything a little more! Put something into it, and youre bound to get something out of it. (12:174)

Man was ordained to be lord over creation, but when they gave obeisance to a beast the serpent instead of Me, he fell
into a state much closer to that of beasts himself. So, animals and people kill each other, and many a former lord of
creation has met his fate by a beast, supposedly beneath him, and, of course, man has been eliminating entire species of
their kind ever since. (13:98)

Im just trying to get the maximum of beauty and excellence out of My creation, and I just happen to know that this is the
way Beauty for ashes. (13:106)

How will you be the best able to teach others how important their Creator is to them? - Really only by making Him quite
important enough to yourself. Its not worshipping parts of creation, or things people created themselves, as many folks
do, but living for the spiritual values of love and faith, along with wisdom and lessons that are supposed to be taught and
learned in life. (14:15)

As long as folks think they are wiser and smarter than their Creator, there will be problems around, and in order to solve
them or get them solved, it would be helpful for folks to accept their Creator as the smarter One, if things occur that may
actually have been partly caused by their own actions and decisions. Lets face it: humans may not always be quite as
smart as they may temporarily think they are There are always more things left to learn, no matter how wise and clever
folks think they are. (14:84)

The Endtime will start because of the time when the large masses started to be taught, think and believe that everything
came into being by itself via evolution no creation no God or creator - In other words, no one to create any rules
except for the politicians who tell people how to earn their money, and create the places to earn it. (14:105)

147
It has become rougher to stay humble enough to yield to other parties, and especially your Creator, in Whom it takes more
faith to believe nowadays, with modern education having come up with so much theory on how this world and all things
created themselves by accident through evolution
So, folks who believe that I and the Father did it all, and created the world and all around it, are definitely a minority; and
not exactly a favorite one, as far as the majoritys concerned. (14:134)

The Word can fill your mind and spirit with little visions of much better looking creations than these temporal ones a
reminder of the existence of a better World than what expects you on this planet right now. (14:151)

As long as theres a good Creator around somewhere, you ought to be able to see and notice some of His good stuff in His
creation, even if His enemy briefly took over the control of that place Itll soon be over, and thats one of the good news
that faith tells you! (14:202)

Folks are supposed to need and depend on their heavenly, spiritual Sunshine and Creator.
So, being brought closer to your Creator isnt a bad thing, believe Me! (15:51)

Remember that your Creator ought to be capable of preparing a better Hereafter for you than what your present has to
offer!
If the Father is your Creator, youd better trust Him for His ability to fix you as well when you need it! (15:55)

Get into the groove of Heaven, your future Home, as much as you can by faith. Even though you cant see or picture it
exactly, what its like Just trust your Creator for having a good enough taste to make a Place youll definitely wind up
liking. (15:71)

Life will give you what you deserve, and if you dont get what youd want or prefer, then its your own fault, and not your
Creators! (15:72)

One aspect in which the role of Creators has been underestimated: that They might offer something they expect Their
creations to take to heart and learn! (15:78)

Worldly ambitions one seeks or follows, dont last forever.

The only thing that lasts after that, is what one has done for love. So, it may be quite important to remember that as a main
theme in life, because its the only lasting one, since even faith and hope are only necessary in the earthly one After all, if
thats what the Father and Creator of all actually is, what else could there be as great and important as Love? (15:88)

Parts of creation werent Mine or the Fathers ideas

Cant imagine that the devil changed creation when We let him take it over due to mans choice?
Well, some of that stuff you wont find around in Heaven, for sure, nor left on Earth, once We take it over again! (15:148)

Avail yourself of the greatest Force there is, that created it all, and has promised to deliver the world from its temporary
evil that currently may make things seem quite hard, but trust Me: only temporarily! (15:159)

To be a father having kids who behave in manners very unlike anything you could bear with, welcome to a bit of what your
heavenly Father has to go through, accept and tolerate! Maybe it also helps you to understand why the wrath of God is
ultimately going to have to come down on His creation in judgment. (15:169)

Why should it be so difficult to believe in a God and Creator Who was supposed to have created such an endless
dimension? Doesnt that even make more sense, that its endless? The same as He is, even just more present in another,
the spiritual Dimension? Which isnt just spiritual, by the way, but exists in a different state and shape than your
physical dimension, which comes to an end and is temporal, whereas Ours doesnt and isnt.
So, it would have been easier to believe in a Creator, if the creation wouldnt have turned out to be so breath-takingly huge,
you say. Well, breath-takingly doesnt affect us maybe thats why We dont have a problem with endless Space
(15:170)

Trust and believe that the Father and I are capable of creating something better than that temporal world in its lousy state
around you! (15:201)

I cant just continue to bless you when you are doing damage to your body, which We created.
Give a little honor to Us by treating Our creation the way you ought to! (15:245)

Unfortunately, the large majority of the worlds population is more attracted to the enemys features and temptations than
the side of their Creator (16:1)

Remember that its the identical Force of the Father and Creator of all things and thus, the greatest meaning of life: love!
(16:32)

148
Undesirable behavior is one of those things Weve got to go through as the Creators of it all as well, and maybe just a taste
of what kind of pain We, and especially the Father has to go through and deal with.
When your creation doesnt manage to give you a little joy, happiness and contentment, but rather the opposite thats
something to learn to deal with!
So, dont feel like youre the only one going through trials like that with your offspring!
Making the best out of the mess the enemy has created out of Our original Creation now, thats the challenge! (16:44)

Keep the faith that your Creator knows a bit better whats best for you in order to make of your character what He knows is
best, even if that includes some hard times!
The good and easy times just have a tendency to spoil folks, and so, youve got to trust in your Lord and Creator that He
knows best what will make the best person out of you, and its not just the easy times. (2016:47)

The times of trouble this world needs to go through are a major lesson of history about independence from its Creator,
whose founder was the enemy, and while he took over godly positions in the past, of Zeus or Jupiter and quite some
others, after the rise of Christianity, the best lie to deceive folks was the science of Evolution, through which he made
the majority of folks believe that there is no God or Creator, and it all came to being by itself
Just as he took on the role of Creator in the past, his final lie has become, There is no Creator! Making folks inherit that
attitude of himself: You are gods yourselves! The ultimate step of pride.
The ultimate step of pride is accepting the attitude of one being their own god, while humility is what enables folks to
accept the fact that there is a higher One, Whos truly the Creator. (16:53)

The Spirit, which you should know from My history, definitely can have its effects in the physical realm, just as all Creation
originally did. (16:90)

If the Father and Creator of alls a Spirit and you believe in Him as the Creator of all, that should give you a bit more faith
and confidence to put in the Spirit, shouldnt it? (16:95)

Keep your vision and focus pointed toward the One Who made it all, and resist the temptations of him, who has caused
creation to wind up as an unpleasant place for those who prefer the good over evil! (2016:112)

Since modern education and science have wiped out creation, and thus the existence of a Creator or heavenly Father
who they figure needs obedience?
So, a little more respect for your creation the creation of you, your body is pretty much necessary in order to love your
fellows as yourself and reap the blessings of obedience.
If you want joy and happiness, remember that obedience is pretty much the leading factor that will guide you there, and
dont expect them by failing to care for your own creation! (2016:124)

If the Father is Spirit, along with the Holy Spirit, put a little more faith in Them, instead of the visible results of creation!
(2016:136)

The Word, which all things have been made and created of, became flesh and blood shed for all that receive It.
If Im the Word, as the Father was termed Love, and together the Two created everything you see, keep those two Factors
in your heart, mind and whole being as the primary ones! (2016:162)

A universal lesson has to be taught, that things of creation shouldnt be taken for granted. Apart from the awakening to
the facts where it will lead, if the Creators enemys in charge of ruling the place. (2016:167)

If all things around you were created by those Words, and Ive been the Incarnation of those Words, as John wrote
theres gotta be something to it thats greater than what you can see. Can you see that? By faith?
Considering that theres an end coming for everyone on the planet, of this game of believing and going by what you
see, if you didnt descend from the monkeys, but theres Someone greater in charge of it all, along with that possibility
that theres something going on with that existence after physical death for which I came to Earth in the first place to make
it available for those whod believe and receive Me and that truth and fact well, welcome to the discovery of the greater
sense and purpose of life than the struggle for mere physical though temporal survival! (2016:182)

Remember to keep looking for the relatively few looking for a way out of this helluva mess the enemys creating out of Our
Creation! (2016:184)

While the forces of the flesh, along with technical abilities down there seem to be superior on the surface, if God - being
the Creator of all things - is a Spirit, along with the vast majority of His host, let Him show the world what is ultimately
more powerful! (2016:195)

Give the world an example that the Words from the Creator and His Son are still the most powerful elements in the
universe coming from beyond the dimension of the universe, in fact and that they still have the same old creative Force
and Power as in the beginning, as time will tell, and all will see in the end. (2016:196)

What the enemy is making out of creation pretty much exposes him as the destroyer he really is. (17:38)

149
Its horrendous what the enemys making out of life in this world, along with the choices for evil many make.
What hes making out of Our creation is just hell on Earth. (17:43)

Dont see believing in Creation as a weakness! Time will tell what causes real and actual strength to believe in. (17:72)

Im trying to raise your faith in the vision of the unseen. - The Place where all thats seen around you has come from, even
if only acceptable through faith - a faith that the enemys wave of education has been working on eliminating from the
majoritys minds for decades.
It all depends on what folks put their faith, trust and confidence in: the stuff theyre being told by the System around them,
or the officially unaccepted points of view of believers in Creation and the Creator instead. (17:81)

Through the Word all things were made and created.

Faith is basically giving the Creator the honor for whats been created. Not letting the enemy take over the concept that no
one deserves the honor and glory for that, and in the process aiming at usurping it.
So, one aspect of believing in creation: Giving honor to Him to Whom it is due.
Thanking the Creator for creation is a good and wholesome task. (17:110)

Wed like to know which are the good ones to use in order to make a good world out of the helluva mess the first section of
creation has been turned into.
So, while listening to Me and collecting My Words doesnt seem a very success-promising task, Id just say, lets wait and
see! Wait for the result and see what comes out of the reception of My Words the original Factor of Creation!
A lot of the life of faith is the factor how youre making it through the helluva mess our enemy has left of Our creation.
(17:112)

With the Creators blessings disappearing from the landscape and the mess of the impostor taking over that should be a
major lesson of learning to appreciate the Creator, instead of ignoring Him, refusing to believe in His existence and taking
it all for granted. (17:124)

Just accept the fact - or at least the possibility - that the Creator of all things has got some outstanding qualities that just
might differ from yours, and might not be all that bad to accept! (17:133)

Wanna be a true artist? Make a beautiful picture of your life through the inspiration of the Creator of it all! (17:143)

Put your faith and trust in the Light of the World, the One Who initially said, Let there be Light! - And there was Light!
And stay on His Wavelength and keep receiving His living Words through which all things above and around you were
created and not the lies of His impostor, who got the majority to believe that all things created themselves. (17:146)

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

Death

That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. -
Hebrews 2:14, 15

You've got nothing to fear about death, just like I had nothing to fear, because I knew I was going to rise again. (I:428)

The death of the flesh - My flesh - brought the life of the Spirit. The smaller unit has to die in order to give way to a greater
new unit... That's the secret and principle on which all living things are founded. Cell partition. (I:446)

Can a man be found more righteous than God? For sure there can be found plenty who think so. Who's to say or judge
who has run the race and finished their testings in this life, and who's not? Are you the judge of these matters or am I?
Some people have won their battles, stood their tests, and they only have one last test to pass, one final enemy to
overcome: death, the final foe. Often people wonder, "What kind of a God lets these things happen?"
But that is the carnal way of looking at things. People don't see what's supposed to be the point in getting older, becoming
weaker with age, but it does make sense, if you look at it from My viewpoint. The whole lesson of life is that spirit is
superior to flesh, even though it may not look like it initially.
And another very fundamental lesson in life is for man to learn that My righteousness exceeds his own by far, even though
it may also not always look like it, and even if I attach many hard tests, which will make people question whether I really
am righteous or know what I'm doing. This is the ultimate test to find out whether they really believe that I know what I'm
doing, and whether they can say, like Job, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him."
This is the faith that overcometh the world. This is the faith that overcomes even the final enemy and laughs in his faith
and says, "Death, where is your sting, grave, where is your victory? Even though He slay me, I know whom I have believed,
and whosoever liveth and believeth in Him shall never die, for he that believeth in Him, though he were dead, yet shall he
live."
When I was crucified, I died the same death that millions of others had suffered and would continue to suffer after that.
Millions of others, even innocent people had been and would yet be crucified. But what made it outstanding was Who I
was, and why I chose to die in the same manner that millions of sinners died, and also, how I died.
Even though on the surface it may seem as if you're just suffering the same fate as countless others, the difference is in
who you are, and why, and how you do it!
I cannot spare all of My believers from suffering similar fates as unbelievers, but I want to show the world the difference in
how they die. There were many who died in the Roman arenas during the time of the Roman empire, but only My children
died singing, praising and trusting Me, not afraid to die.
I'm showing the world through the death of My saints that I came to "deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage (Heb.2:15)," and that I can deliver them, too. Many have come to believe in Me through witnessing
the way My people die.
What looks like defeat to those who look with carnal eyes, is in reality a beautiful victory and eternal testimony. "Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (Ps.116:15)." (II:138)

My death was actually My zenith, My absolute destiny; there was nothing higher to be achieved or accomplish than what I
did through My death. So, stop viewing death as a defeat! It will just be the proof of the pudding, that you were willing to
live and to die for what you've been preaching and teaching. That's what makes the difference: you're not to be another
teacher of mere dead facts and figures, but teaching others the eternal way of life!
And the cool thing about it is, death has no affect on it, whatsoever, but it's merely your promotion to a much better
working place, under much better conditions.
Any problems you might be having right now will all be a thing of the past then.
Your besetting sins won't have any more power over your saved spirit! Isn't that something to look forward to?
To focus on that goal will help you to realize how temporal it all is, the trials and battles you're going through... It takes the
punch out of them, somewhat, if you know that soon it's going to be all over. And it also takes the sting out of death,
because you know that death will hold such a glorious promotion for you and a liberation from any hold that sin might still
have over your body... Not to mention all the physical ails and pains. (II:178)

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." It's the final orgasm, the climax of your life's symphony and
relationship with Me, like a dance that culminates in ardent passion and the final peak... the moment when you'll know
even as you are known. So, look ahead, look forward! There's something exciting to look forward to! That mark of the price
is really worth it! (II:181)

Spirit is energy, the pure energy from which all that exists derived. Einstein believed in a life after death, and he wasn't
disappointed. Although he had not known Me during his physical life, his belief, based on the things he was able to
observe in nature with open eyes and an open mind, hungry to ever learn more, prepared him to make the right decision
when he finally came to this side of the veil. (II:288)
151
The state of this world is rebellion against Me, against My newness. It wants to stagnate, it wants to rot. It is death. I am
life, but this world is death. So, by staying alive and continuing to move and flow with My Spirit, by living the life of the
Spirit, you actually bring life into this dying, and in some ways already dead world. (II:334)

It's in death that you find life eternal; in death and darkness that you find mercy and Salvation of God. In those deaths of
"dying daily" you find Me, more so than in the good times, when you feel so close to Me. It's the bad and dark times that
actually bring you closer to Me, so don't knock'em, don't curse them, but accept them, say, like Mary, "Let it be! Let it be
done unto Your servant/handmaiden even as You have said!" That's the yielding, that's the submission I need. Just say,
"Let it be!" (II:363)

The curious and superficial in My days said, "Let's go and hear the miracle preacher!" They were after some kind of kick,
and they were in it for the loaves and fishes, or some diversion and entertainment of sorts. But they were living in the lie,
that's why I, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, had nothing to offer to them. They were living in the way of death, the way of
the flesh, the way of the lie, the way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is destruction and death, but they
were firmly convinced that their way was the right way, the way of life, and My way was the way of death, and when I was
finally crucified, it seemed to confirm to them that they had been right. That's why they all screamed, "crucify Him!" They
wanted Me to die in order to prove that My way had been wrong, and theirs was right! And for 3 days and nights it seemed
as though they had been right. It seemed as if the devil had won, but when I rose, that's when the true story really began,
as My Power was multiplied manifold in My disciples.
Sometimes you've got to overcome death first, in order to really break through to life.
Well, that's what I did for all of you! I have overcome death for you, I plucked out its sting, so that you could all partake of
My life - My unending life, life eternal, life forevermore, life ever-increasing. (II:446)

They hail, praise and fancy that which is young, strong, where the flesh is still on the rise. "Cool" spells "young:" The flesh
is still strong and appealing, good looking, and doesn't resemble any reminder of what is inevitably before them all: death.
As soon as you start bearing the first marks of resemblance to that "taboo," you remind them of the unpleasant factor
they'd prefer to ignore: evil and sin, which has brought death into the world. (II:484)

They slave away for their meager wages, which, in the end turn out to be nothing but death, that "way which seemed so
right unto a man," but turned out to be the ways of death...
You slave away for little colored papers all your life, and all you get for it in the end is the sting of death. But not so for
those who receive Me. For I can turn anything and everything into an everlasting value. I'm the Great Alchemist Who can
turn their worthless copper into eternal gold. Even death will be something precious in My sight, when someone has
become one of My saints by receiving Me. And I can even turn money into something useful, something that creates and
brings life, such as your tithes, which are used for the good of My Kingdom.
It all depends on the spiritual direction you're going. Everything that's done for self and the Devil turns to death: the whole
machinery of the System is geared to destruction and death. But if you give it all to Me, and live for Me, whatever you've
got and invest in My Kingdom will turn to God's good and eternal gold. (II:537)

I did not save the world through some manifestation of strength and power, but through My death, the epitome of
weakness, loss, the ultimate of what the world considers bad.
As Francis said, "It is in dying that we rise to eternal life." So, accept and embrace your life fully, along with its death,
accept it as just the way I created it, and as it ought to be. (II:548)

The difference between the way most people view death, and the way I view it: for them it's the most terrible thing that
could happen to them, in My eyes it's precious, a celebration, your glorious homecoming, your relief. (II:561)

I give you My Power to overcome all things, even death! (II:625)

I will breathe upon you the breath of life, the breath that first caused Adam to awaken, and brought forth life from non-
living matter; and so it will raise you from death to life - from a life, once so death-like, to a life truly lived in My love, My
exuberant joy, My victory, My Spirit. (III:14)

There's nothing that brings folks back to life like a brush with death. Death is just a means by which I bring life, life more
abundant. Life isn't really life for a lot of people until they have died. The real life only begins after death releases you from
that "cheap imitation" you call life right now. (III:171)

The refusal of some to believe in a life after death stems from their fear of the consequences. What would expect them
there? Certainly they would have to face the consequences for their selfish actions in this life, and they fear they would be
punished. So they prefer to push it away into the realm of the unbelievable, the unacceptable, the non-existent - in their
minds.
That's why it's so important that you portray an accurate picture of Me: that of a forgiving God.
People need to know that the reason why they don't believe in a lot of things is because they don't want to believe in them,
because they're subconsciously scared of the consequences. And your job is to let them know that there's nothing to be
afraid of. I'm not nearly as bad as they think! (III:242)

152
The work behind the scenes is what really counts, the invisible hand of God working beneath the surface during the
months of snow... You think, it's death, but it's that apparent death that brings forth the new life of the spring. (III:285)

In order to have a resurrection there had to be death first. Something had to die.
One is not really totally and absolutely willing to give up all their selfish dreams, ambitions, desires and expectations from
life completely until they've come to the point where they're willing to give up everything that is contained in this life
altogether.
In order to be able to lay it all on the altar, it has to become like dung for you; of no esteem... it must not matter to you
anymore, nor have any degree of importance; so that you'll finally be willing to embrace whatever it is that I want from you
and ask of you. Unless you realize that everything else is as nothing, it will always remain just a wee bit too important for
you to let it go without hesitation in favor of My option, which otherwise will always appear less attractive and less
important, less desirable to you.
There must be nothing left for you to want to preserve in this life, nothing about this life you would seek to save, for only
he who loseth his life shall truly save it. You can't keep it. You can't hang on to it. You've got to let it go (Luke 14:26).
You cannot have the new unless you let go of the old, and you cannot let go of the old unless you deem it undesirable,
nothing you want. (III:353)

All that the devil can do with the stuff he shows man, is bring death. He's the bringer of death, I'm the Bringer of Life, and
we'll see in the final round, which is stronger. Once you've overcome death, what other obstacle could there possibly be?
All the devil's power is in death and the fear thereof, so, be of good cheer, I have overcome all that he can muster up!
I will bring life, and ever more life, even through all the death, destruction and havoc the devil will wreak and unleash upon
the Earth. I have overcome him, and will cause you also to overcome! (III:371)

There is one impending change that is inevitably going to hit everyone, even if they wont live to see the Endtime or My
return, and that is death. I dont want My followers to enter My Kingdom unprepared. (III:376)

In spite of its phony youthful appearance, this world is really rotting and dying, and almost decaying. Theres nothing fresh
about it. They have allowed sin to enter, and the wages of sin is death, a death that is now rapidly creeping all over the
world. They may not notice it while the music keeps playing and the laughter drags on, and their fancy dances, but its all
just a farce the Devil keeps going, under the motto the show must go on, only to hide whats truly happening beneath the
surface: theyre getting ready for the total enslavement of mankind. (III:480)

The Father has so much love that He even gave them Me, the One He loved above all, and allowed Me to cross the one
barrier which men consider to be the final, ultimate barrier, death, only to prove that it is possible to overcome it, that
death is not a final thing, as some believe and teach, but that love is stronger than death.
The wages of the sin the devil brought into the world with mans help was death, but He was now going to overrule that
with the gift of eternal life. (III:553)

You dont see death anymore as something unpleasant one should try to avoid, but more as something positive. Youve
come to know that dead people arent gone, but safe, theyre safely tucked away with Me in My Domain, where I can
take better care of them, instead of having them subjected to the influences of the evil one, even if they may be temporarily
withdrawn from the sight of those in the material world. (IV:49)

Since death entered through disobedience, things naturally tend to decay. Things are getting worse, not better, and that
process isnt going to be reversed until I return to restore things to the way they were before (IV:54)

Life on Earth is finite, your bodies functionality is limited, and death is a reality, an integral part of life, an inevitable event
people should prepare for and take into consideration.
Most peoples attitude towards death is that they try to avoid thinking or talking about it, when it really isnt much different
from taking a journey for which preparations ought to be made. Youll want to know that youre going to be able to manage
in the place of your destination, that youre going to receive some kind of warm welcome, and youre somewhat
acquainted with the customs of that place, even if it may be a little strange and foreign to you, and you can hardly imagine
what its going to be like. Usually, youll try to find out as much as you can about it.
Youll want to make sure you have a ticket to the right place, and youre not going to get busted for riding without a ticket,
and wind up in detention, or with a fine, instead of at the desired destination.
There are no physical things you need to pack for this trip into the spirit world, but its more like you send ahead of
yourself some of the stuff that is going to act as your credentials or currency over There. Your prayers and deeds of
love, and the souls you win for Me, theyre going to go before and follow you there.
Life isnt really much more than a journey during which you may or may not be smart enough to glean items for your final
destination in order to equip you with know-how and experience on certain issues that Eternity will be largely about. (IV:99)

Its natural to want to express condolences and to want to be a comfort to people, just like the mourners in situations
where people had died in the Gospels Along came I and perplexed them by showing that their mourning wasnt
necessary, because I am able to turn death into life, and Im still able to do that very same thing today for anybody, and I
can turn mourning into rejoicing
It does require faith, and, of course, in a society where the power of the flesh is considered supreme and the all-in-all, its
hard to be brought to that edge where the flesh is powerless, after all, and to trust in a God Who would allow such
153
suffering and loss.
Its an individual choice of faith to take the high road or low road in such a situation, just as it is in nearly every other
instance of faith.
Death is a sign that there is a degree at which all human efforts fail and are in vain. Its the one last thing that will somehow
remind people of Me, and that they dont have their fates in their own hands completely, after all. So, why not grant Me that
opportunity to get through to people in such moments? (IV:101)

Even though other lives seem more stable than yours on the surface, what they dont realize is that everything within their
lives is moving and drifting toward that point of death, and theyve got their faith attached and anchored to subjects and
objects within that moving frame, and once one of those factors fails or disappears, they fall, too. Whereas your faith is
attached to the only stable and unmoving Factor unmoving even in relation to death and Eternity.
Thats why I said to the young man who said he wanted to serve Me but first wanted to bury his father: Let the dead bury
their dead! I was giving this young man a chance to hinge his life on something more than all those moving and fleeting
factors and instead invest it in the one stable Cause and value that would not perish. Everything else, by comparison is
dead. If I am the Life, then anything other than Me that is not attached to Me or dedicated to Me, is equivalent with death.
Death is the ultimate proof which shows what they have been investing their lives and their faith in: either in fleeting and
perishable factors, or the Eternal and lasting. It is also the one crucial measuring device by which you can tell just how
many are on the wide road to perdition, and how comparatively few are on the straight and narrow way to life. (IV:105)

Life as you know it is not the same as it used to be before the Fall, nor what I had originally intended it to be like, and in
comparison, its almost more like death than life the way I had intended, and the way you will experience it again when you
will come Home to Me.
This does not mean that Im advocating suicide or Euthanasia, because life as it is also has a purpose and is meant to be a
school, a learning experience youre meant to go through, and not supposed to skip or miss out on.
You can make up for Adam and Eves failure to trust and believe and obey Me by reversing in your own life the course they
took and decide to trust Me that I know what Im doing, and also mean what I have said.
When I said that they would die on the day they would eat of that fruit, I meant it, and in comparison to the abundant life
they lived before they sinned, the life that I have promised all of My believers, they were dead after eating from the
forbidden tree, and they only returned to life in the sense they had known it before, after they died.
You dont have to be afraid of death, because what I have promised to those who accept My sacrifice on the cross is also
true: they shall have eternal life, and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die, and though he were dead, yet
shall he live.
You dont need to hang on to this life tooth and nail as if it were the only thing youve got and will ever have, because the
best is yet to come. I encourage My followers to lose their lives in service for Me, to give their lives for the benefit of others
as witnesses for Me, in order to bring them the eternal life that I originally intended for man to live, and deliver them from
this poor simulation of life they currently live instead.
Life is death compared to what it once used to be and what it was meant to be, and what it will be again for those who have
accepted My sacrifice, once they cross the pathway of what they presently call death. Their parting from this life will be an
arrival in a much better life.
On the other hand, as pitiful as this present life may be in comparison, its still there for a purpose, and not to be despised.
Its a testing ground for you to find out and determine how to make Heaven or Hell happen for you by your choices. The
reason why some peoples lives resemble death rather than life is that it resembles hell because of their choices, while at
the same time it could be so much more like Heaven, if they would only make the right choices. (IV:199)

Life without Me ultimately equals and results in death. (IV:495)

If the thoughts about your death keep troubling you, remember Mine for you! (16:117)

Death - for believers - shouldnt be seen as a negative. Just the transfer to the next and much more lasting and valid stage.
See whats coming as something better! (17:89)

Would death be such a disaster, when you know thats what will bring you Here to Me and what you believe will certainly
be a better and painless, endless existence? (17:133)

154
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Dependence on God

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in Me.
Without Me ye can do nothing. John 15:4,5

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. (I:8)

Some battles are for the sole purpose of having you learn to rely only and wholly on Me nothing and no one else. (I:28)

The times youre frustrated by your own inability to get anything accomplished in your own strength are what reminds you
of your need for Me. (I:33)

You only wind up making a mess of things until you finally learn to sit back and let Me act.
By continuing to make these kind of I do everything wrong- experiences you will see the need to stop making your moves
without Me. (I:42)

Id rather have you do nothing but learn to hear from Me, listen to Me, soak up Me, absorb Me, take time with Me, loving Me,
begging Me, learning to let Me do things for you and through you.
I want you to know what a mess you are without Me, and that truly, without Me you can do nothing!
Trust in Me, focus on Me, hold Me tight and never let go, because without Me youre lost.
Your principal task is to learn to operate by Me, not merely to co-operate with Me, but to function by Me, to make things
happen through Me, just use My power and get things done by using Me! Let Me be your Genie in a bottle! Just rub the
lamp, open your vessel and let me fill you with My oil, My strength, My energy, the power that will enable you to do it! You
wanna do it? Let Me do it through you! (I:75)

Instead of still needing this little bit of self-affirmation, this little pat on your back... let go and rely fully on Me! (I:76)

I will have to become your oxygen, if you want to survive the days to come! I will have to become your only light, your
bread, your water, and everything you need to live, for the Devil is going to try to cut all other means of supply. (I:83)

Let Me be your Treasure, your Supplier. Let faith in Me and My Words be your currency.
If you already allow Me to carry you now, to care for you, as if you had nothing but Me, it will not be so difficult when there
will really be nothing but Me to rely on. (I:96)

Im asking you to forsake your independence.

The supposed benefits of independence are only illusions, as they only enslave you to your own lusts, and the path of self-
gratification is not the road to true happiness and fulfillment. (I:97)

No matter how cool you may be, how open, how permissive: without Me, youll still wind up a failure.
You must not rely on anything but My hand, My power and My Spirit. (I:108)

I am the difference between life and death. For I am Life, and without Me, youre dead. Lifeless, motionless, dead. If you
would be fully aware of how incapable you are to get anything accomplished without My help, you would constantly be
seeking My contact, desperately grasping for Me as a drowning man grasping for air.
I am your oxygen. I am what keeps you alive. If I withdraw just a fraction of the necessary ingredients to keep you alive,
your body would cease to exist. What man is taking for granted is actually an endless sequence of miracles.
Imagine youre a deep sea diver. I am the bottle of oxygen on your back! Thats how much you need Me! (I:124)

Sooner or later, every human being will have to come face to face with the fact that without Me you can do nothing. Lets
face it: without Me you cant even breathe. Who made the lungs and the oxygen? And Who created the process that made
an endless supply of oxygen possible? Just because they refuse to give the credit to Me doesnt change the fact that Im
still responsible for it. (I:129)

Eat and drink in My Words as if your every breath of life depended on them!
If youre going to make it, then its not because of anything of yourself! (I:140)

I want you desperate and hopelessly dependent on Me, because Im your only hope of survival! (I:144)

Im in the process of making you utterly dependent on Me, because its what you need. (I:153)

When you get to the end of your rope, then I have a chance!
155
I dont need anyone who is strong in themselves, I need somebody weak, who in their own flesh cant do it, somebody
utterly dependent on Me. I need holy holes and nothings to fill up with My Something! Its good if you feel incapable!
Throw yourself completely on Me! I will carry you! (I:164)

When theres a need, it creates a vacuum. Its 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:259)

Things only become too much to handle when you dont perfectly rely on Me. (I:281)

Im trying to teach you to rely and depend more on Me in the area of finances, supply and planning your activities, in the
area of childcare.
The moment you realize that you dont have a clue what to do and call on Me, Ill have a chance the only chance there is
to right the wrongs. (I:285)

Without Me, ye can do nothing (Jn.15:5). Its just as simple as that. So, quit trying! Dont even try to do anything without
Me, its useless. You might as well forget it! It will be futile, empty, vain attempts, as one that beateth the air! (I:293)

You will have to rely utterly and totally on Me, which is what Im teaching you right now, so you can depend on Me more
and more as time progresses. (I:302)

Cling to My Word and strive to obey for dear life, because your lives do depend on it! (I:329)

Dont run off to fight the battle in your own strength! Dont take up the challenge on your own! Dont let the sight of those
waves, the howling of that wind sway you, distract you and pull your focus off Me! Stay strong! Stay firmly attached to Me!
(I:342)

Whats important is that you abide in Me and I in you. (I:345)

I want and need you to want and need Me, so, Im having to allow these challenges to appear before you, which finally
make you desperate enough to cry out for My help!
If you were desperate and humble enough from the beginning and not cruise on the drift of apparent victory, or all things
flowing just fine without seeking My face constantly, they might not even occur. But its your resting on your laurels, your
being confident of, Well, now the Lord surely must bless me, that allows the Enemy to come in and test you again with
the next battle. Him that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed, lest he fall is probably one of the key verses in your life,
because as soon as you think youve got it made, youre allowing the Devil to prove to you that it aint so.
And its good, because it reminds you that you havent got it made at all, but that you desperately have got to cling to Me
for every moment and every step of the way, if you want to make it at all.
Therell be no more uncertainty, if you cling to Me each step of the way and seek Me to open your eyes to whatever traps
and snares the Enemy might be throwing your way! (I:381)

Without Me you can do nothing that counts. - Nothing that lasts. - Nothing worth mentioning. If you really want to get
things done, if you want to make a difference, you've got to learn to let Me use you to the full. That's what counts, and
that's all that matters. (I:424)

I specially put this challenge before you to make double sure you wont fall into the temptation of just coasting along on
the momentum of the flesh or your own carnal mind and wisdom, figuring you'd be smart enough to handle this.
I purposely gave you this one, which I knew was going to be too hard for you to figure out by yourself, in order for you to
get into the modus operandi of "without Me ye can do nothing." Finally you're getting desperate enough so that you come
to Me at every turn, because you don't know how to go on. (I:425)

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 put Me in charge of the things you want Me to do! (I:485)

You can't do the works of the Spirit in the flesh, and to get ahold of My Spirit just takes time fellowshipping with Me, asking
Me, receiving from Me, drinking in from Me. Without Me and My Spirit, you can't even see clearly where to go, much less
take steps in the right direction.
Desperately look to Me for each step you're going to take, depending on Me and knowing that without Me you can
accomplish nothing! (I:487)

I delight in the fact that people desperately need My help, and that I can love them, fill their needs and be there to help
them.
Turn to Me as you see that you cannot do it by yourself, but have got to tap into My Power and endless resources in order
to come up with the demanded supplies! (I:490)

156
I need you to hunger for Me, to crave Me, to desire Me, to need Me, to be utterly dependent on Me! (I:509)

I want to be the Light that you turn on in your life when it's dark, the heat you can avail yourself of when it's cold, your food
when you're hungry, your drink when you thirst.
I want you to realize how badly you need Me. How nothing you are without Me. How useless everything will be unless you
reach out for Me and do it in My Strength! (I:515)

Depend on My supernatural help! (I:517)

Cast yourself wholly onto Me and stop relying on the arm of the flesh! (I:530)

You need My Spirit to do it. And the realization of impotence and failure without Me is just helping to make You seek Me
and My Spirit more and to make you more desperate for My help and My power, without which you simply can't do it.
There's such a humongous job out there to do, that there's no chance in a lifetime even to think that you could do it on
your own without My Power, and so I'm making you more desperate to get ahold of My Power. I'm driving you into My arms
by the sheer recognition of the vast need and your impotence to do anything to quench it, and thus of the need you have
for My Power to do it through you and avail yourself of that Power...
If you want to love them - successfully - you'll have to love Me first and get all the love for them you need from Me first.
And that's why I'm keeping you and training you and teaching you here in My arms. (I:542)

At that point where you recognize the uselessness of the flesh, the futility of the flesh, that "the flesh profited nothing,"
that's where you finally get desperate enough to make sure you're getting ahold of My strength, and that that's the only
chance you ever had and will ever have, Me in you, your only hope. (I:545)

You can't do it yourself. What they need is a love that by far exceeds your own finite capabilities, and you're only going to
get the stamina you need by plugging into Me first thing, before you make your clumsy attempts to lift them up. You can't
do it without Me. The only way you're ever going to love anyone enough, and the way they need to be loved, is through Me
and by My Spirit of Power and Love and of a sound mind.
The only real and true and lasting cure is My Love, and you're only going to get that from Me. You can't feed a starving soul
from empty pockets.
You've got to have it first, in order to give it. You can't love in the flesh, you can't perform a miracle of My Spirit in the flesh,
and I have ordained it to be purely a work of My Spirit from A to Z.
That's just the way it is... You've got to come and get it from Me. I've ordained it that way to prevent you from ever thinking
it's you.
It's not in you, it's not in you, it's only in Me!
You don't have enough love! Just admit it.
There's another good reason for really making sure you get ahold of Me first thing every day, because if you don't, you
know you're gonna make a mess of things, and no matter how hard you try, you're never going to manage to say or do the
right things. Without Me ye can do nothing!
There's no way you're ever going to have enough love without coming to Me first to get it. I am the Bread of life! Unless
you eat Me, you're going to faint! How do I give power to the faint and strength to those that have no might? The same way
you gain physical strength by eating food and taking in physical nourishment! You've got to eat Me, just the way you eat
your food, if you want Me to do you any good. If you get hungry you eat, right? So, if you feel like you're running low on
spiritual energy and "lovability," just stop and take a break and take a bite of Me! Come, "taste and see that the Lord is
good."
Your great and "unbearable" dilemma is actually the best and most perfect way possible for Me to show you just how
desperately you need Me. (I:606)

I want you to reach the end of your rope, the end of your own capacities and find Me there, way beyond the limits of man.
(II:20)

It's this very desperation, this incapability to cope with life in your own strength, that I cherish the most, because it creates
the necessary desperation in you to call down My power, and that's when I get a chance to work.
When all you've got left is trust in Me, then I get a chance to work in you.
When you realize that you can't do it by yourself, that's usually when I finally get My chance!
Your very weakness will be your strength. What's going to help you make it through is not any of your personal strength,
much less a pretense of any strength that's not really there, but your only hope is your trust in Me; getting ahold of Me
daily, and never to neglect that link. (II:21)

You can't lean on anything you've got, that you've accumulated or acquired on your own over time, not even your faith,
your knowledge of the Word, much less your mind or your wits or your own goodness, but the only thing you've really got
- and all you really need, at the same time - is Me!
I'll be there to give you faith when you've got no faith! I'll be there to give you love, when you've got no love - strength,
when you've got none of your own... I don't want you to boast in your faith. I only want you to boast in Me. (II:26)

It's just one of those lessons in life ordained to make you stronger:
I'm all that you have and all you can rely on! This will strengthen your dependence on Me more than anything else.
157
Lean fully on Me and Me alone!
I want you to rely on Me. Only I can hold you up. (II:60)

Make sure that you get your strength for the battle from Me every day! I wish to be the Source of all that you need. (II:68)

Its got to be Me fighting for and through you. (II:69)

I'm trying to get you to bet on the Real Thing. My currency is the Real Thing, the only thing that's going to endure and see
you through any crisis! You better start making full use of it, and getting trained in its usage, because you're going to be
more and more dependent on it, no more reliance on the arm of the flesh in the future!
Shift your dependence to My Power and My living waters, learn to apply My Power to your lives, and avail yourself of My
Light! (II:83)

Without Me, you can do nothing good, but anything bad.

There's no depth to which the human mind cannot sink, unless you stay fully grounded in Me. (II:88)

You're going to have to acquire greater unity and love for each other than ever before, greater dependence on Me, and skill
in the usage of My spiritual weapons. (II:112)

I want you to learn to depend more on Me, instead of your arm of the flesh. (II:141)

There is no way you can possibly escape or survive what is to come without Me, so you might as well learn the best you
can how to depend on Me daily.
I am training you in the art of dependence on Me. The devil knows that dependence on Me is your only hope of survival, so
he will try to get you to forsake the idea of having to depend on Me.
I'm like your Mother and you're like My baby. There's nothing unnatural about the baby's dependence on his mother.
There's nothing wrong with dependence on Me! I'm your tug boat into freedom, your horse on which you can ride out of
this mess. Hitch your wagon to My star! (II:148)

Every breath you take comes from Me. I am the Oxygen that will keep this flame alive, and as long as you're aware of how
much you depend on Me, this is going to keep going, working and functioning. (II:150)

So much depends on the decisions you make each day. If you don't obey, I can't show you the way. (II:186)

I wait for you to come to Me, in order to help you to get the victory, so that you will know it's not you who wins them, but
that only I can win them through you! Next time you're battling, remember that I'm only waiting for you to come to Me to
give you the victory! That's what will show that you've really learned how to fight properly! I'm your greatest weapon, your
shield and your exceeding great reward! I will be your Victory! I will show you precisely which weapons to use, which are
going to be the most effective in dismantling the enemy and destroying him and his plans, his lies in your life! (II:191)

The more feverishly someone tries to be perfect in their own strength, the bigger the mess they're making out of things,
whereas the greatest saints who ever lived learned to let Me do all things through them.
No matter how hopeless a case you may be in the eyes of others - or others may be in your eyes - I can use both, you and
them, in spite of it, if you'll just let Me and give Me a chance. That no flesh should glory in My presence. That I will get the
glory for it, since I'm the One Who initiated the whole thing in the first place, and the One Who will complete it. The only
difference is between those who think they can do it themselves and those who got the point that there's no way on earth,
no chance in a lifetime that they can, without Me. (II:199)

Thinking you've got to do it by yourself, and in the flesh, hinders you from experiencing the freedom you find in just
putting it onto My shoulders and letting Me do it through you. (II:209)

Changes of the heart are miracles that only I can bring about, you can't do it yourself, so quit trying and let Me do it! Just
hold still and be My vessel and trust in Me to do what you can't.
Open up your life and heart to Me and let Me do it and work in you what you can't bring about yourself. It's so easy, if you
just let go. You don't have to do it yourself! Just let Me do it. It's going to be alright, if you just let Me do it. (II:219)

Maybe what you consider imperfect is just what I like about you; that weakness that keeps you extra humble or dependent
on Me. If you were Mr. Success, you might possibly feel better about yourself, but I'm not so sure whether that would be
conducive to your being as dependent on Me and as desperate to seek and find Me everyday.
You're not strong enough to make it without Me, and I'm very happy about that! Your weakness is the very thing that keeps
you close to Me! (II:220)

A lot depends on the level of your desire for Me. (II:233)

When it becomes humanly impossible to love someone, let it serve as a reminder that without Me you cannot do anything
anyway.

158
Loving others unconditionally is an art and a task that only I can really teach you. Only I can give you the grace to pray for
those who despitefully use you and would persecute you. If you try to do it in the flesh, you'll collapse under the weight of
the burden. I want to enable you to do the humanly impossible, but you must remember that it is I Who enable you, that it's
nothing you can do of yourselves.
So, when you're faced with an impossible situation, that's the moment when it's time to let Me take over.
It's an easy job you've got, because I'm going to do it for you! You don't have to carry the weight of the burden; you must
not. Let Me do it for you! It's so much more beautiful, when you realize that you don't have to do it, that you've just got to
let go and let Me. People will notice the difference between those times when you try so hard to do it in the flesh and when
you just let Me do it through you. Let Me carry the burden for you!
When you can't love, let Me do it through you! When you can't sing or talk, let Me do it through you! When you can't walk,
when you can't go on, let Me carry you! You must learn to throw your weight on Me, to just let Me carry you when you get
too weak to go on by yourself! I am just waiting for that moment when you can't anymore and I must take over... That's My
part. When you have done yours and have gone as far as you could, then it's time for the next part, which is Mine. Just like
I could have never made it without the Father, it's foolish to think that you must do it on your own!
So, don't try to carry the burden alone; the burden of loving the unlovely, of loving your enemies or the foes of your own
household. (II:248)

I have to keep you close to Me, have to keep you relying on Me, I need you to need Me!
If you weren't so desperately dependent on Me, things wouldn't be the same. (II:256)

This job is too big, too monumental for anyone to try to do in their own strength. Without Me ye can do nothing. This one
verse is the gist, the crux and the point of it all, the one thing I want you to learn. So, if that's what I want you to learn, it
means, quit doing things without Me! Quit doing them in your own strength and any other way but through Me and My
power! If you want to build lasting works, you're going to have to use My power to do it, not your own. (II:261)

I'll help you make it through. The more you rely on Me, the easier it's going to be. The heavy loads are there to remind you
that you shouldn't carry them yourself, but that you should rely on Me. Make Me work for you so that I may work in you and
through you. Learn to let Me work through you by making My Power work for you. (II:266)

To be moving in My Spirit and to let My Spirit function in you requires that you let go of the crutches of the flesh, of leaning
on your own arm, talent or anointing for strength and support, and just cast yourself wholly into My arms, willing to trust in
nothing else but Me. Let Me be your strength! (II:273)

I'm revealing to you, bit by bit, how helpless you are without Me. (II:285)

What matters is that you spend time with Me, seek Me earnestly, and start learning to rely and depend on Me, not your own
arm of the flesh! (II:287)

Allow Me to take the driver seat of your life, the steering wheel, the gear shift and the pedals, and just lean back and enjoy
the ride. It's pride and the natural tendency for man to want to show off that he can do it himself, but there are situations in
life where the only right move to make is to let Me take over the wheel! (II:297)

God is teaching His church dependence on each other, and there is really nothing wrong with needing another person, nor
being needed by them. (II:304)

When there's a lot to do, you need an extra portion of My Strength, and you need to make an extra effort to stay and rest
within My peace and calm, in order to move through the day in My Spirit and powered by My joy. (II:325)

You cannot do the Master's work without the Master's Power! I don't expect you to do anything without it!
I want you to become sure that it's My Power that's compelling you, My Power that's driving you forward, My Power, My
Spirit that's causing you to speak, to act, to do anything, so that everyone will know it, but especially you.
I'm not saying that you've got to know everything before you start giving out what you've got, I'm just saying that you've
got to get ahold of My Power before you do My work. (II:328)

The reason why I allow misunderstandings to occur between you, that allow the lies of the enemy to enter in, along with
sensitivity and pride, is the same reason why I allow these things to come into any person's life in the first place: to keep
you desperate and close to Me, to keep you dependent on Me!
Success, in My eyes, is something completely different than it is to you most of the time. How dependent on Me are you,
how yielded to Me are you, how desperately do you seek Me and need Me and show Me that you need Me? (II:366)

It's going to have to be very obviously My hand and My means that will have saved you and will have given you the victory.
(II:375)

The real greatness I give each of you individually all depends on your personal obedience to Me, your personal connection
with Me. (II:376)

159
My Love is unconditional, but whether you're going to be a recipient of that love depends on your choices to receive it and
say "yes" to Me. All things depend on your choices... (II:378)

The good works you do or things you accomplish don't bring you closer to Me, contrary to what you might think. They
make you lean less on Me, My grace and My mercy, not more.
I want you to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that I'm your only hope, your only salvation, and that without Me you
cannot do anything. Once that's indisputably established, then I can start working through you.
I need your total realization that it's got to be Me and all Me doing it and working it in you and through you, nothing else.
No element of self whatsoever. Not even the slightest hint of the danger that you might ever talk about the things "you're"
accomplishing. It's got to be totally clear that it's Me doing it!
Its got to be obvious: "No, it's not me doing it, it's only Him! It's only Jesus!" (II:384)

I want you to know that you've got nothing and that you need it all, and I want you to behave accordingly. I need you to
need Me even to a greater extent than you have so far. It's not enough to merely need or want Me half-heartedly. I've got to
have you want and seek Me with all your hearts, nothing less will do. (II:385)

"A man's gifts will make room for him" and take him before kings, but you've got to let Me carry you there! You've got to let
Me do it! It's got to be My Spirit doing it, which will have come down upon you for your obedience to My commandment to
go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature! (II:391)

The reason I've been keeping you weak physically is for you to get accustomed to leaning on Me and operating in My
Spirit. I've made you incapable of doing anything on your own so that you would learn to do things by My Power. (II:409)

Stand back and see Me fight for you! (II:411)

Thank Me, even for your besetting sins, for your lack of accomplishing great things, for being so weak in the flesh,
because all these factors are what keep you humble, dependent on Me!
Having made My people less than perfect also helps to remind everyone that it's got to be Me, and that there's no way that
any of which got accomplished was done by the efforts of the flesh, which gives the glory to Me.
I've purposely made My people a peculiar, strange and imperfect people, in order to separate and weed out those who
thought they were good enough in themselves.
Having made My people less than perfect helps to remind everyone that it's got to be Me, and that there's no way that any
of which got accomplished was done by the efforts of the flesh. (II:437)

Bad times that draw you closer to Me make you realize you can't do it without Me.
Who needs God when they manage just fine on their own?
You, My brides, chosen before the foundations of the earth, were destined not to be self-sufficient and independent, but to
be dependent on Me. You couldn't make it in this world without My guidance and My care, as opposed to the goats and
wolves and dogs, who do. So, your insufficiency actually identifies you as one of Mine. "Blessed are the insufficient."
Blessed are they who can't make it on their own in this world, because they learn that they need Me and they give Me
honor and praise for the things that the others all take for granted: their lives, every breath they take and every bite they
eat, every piece of clothing they wear and a roof over their heads. Being dependent on Me is actually the greatest blessing
there is, although it may be well disguised or not easily recognized as such by people who deem independence as such a
desirable virtue.
Your relationship of dependence on Me is something very valuable you wouldn't want to lose, and that's precisely why I've
got to make sure that you stay in a position of relative insufficiency, so that you realize and remember constantly that you
can't do anything without Me, you can't make it.
With increasing affluence and ability to rely on the flesh, you lose that dependence on Me, and thus, your connection with
Me; in other words: the source of your spiritual riches. (II:440)

Personal attacks from the enemy remind you that I in you am the hope of glory. Without Me, there would be no hope, just
as there would be no light, and in order to go the right way, to keep sin out of your life, you constantly have to be facing
toward Me and not turn your back on My light. Only in Me is your hope that you're going to be walking the right path, a
good path. Without Me you're going to get lost and make a mess of things.
I want to get you to the point where you take it literally when I say without Me you can do nothing.
You must anchor your spirit and soul firmly in Me in order for nothing to be able to shake you. (II:442)

When I tell you that without Me you can do nothing, I'm also saying, but look at it this way: with Me, you can do anything!
There's nothing you cannot do, and "you can do all things, through Christ, which strengtheneth you" (Phil.4:13). (II:444)

I'm weakening your arm of the flesh, because I want you to lean on Me and make Me your Strength, because Mine is the
only Strength that will see you through the times when your own wit won't be of any avail to you.
Those who rely on their own understanding and abilities will fail inevitably. Only those who learn that there's a greater
strength to lean on than their own, stand a chance to make it through the dark future ahead. (II:484)

160
Do you want to excel and shine like a star? There's only one way you can shine, and that's by availing yourself of My Light!
Without Me, you're just a worm, but with Me you can become a glow-worm, a lightning bug, lighting up the landscape.
(II:500)

Just as My Early Church never would have made it without the Power of the Holy Spirit to have such an impact on the
world, so there's no way you're going to make it without Her. That's why you've got to spend time with Me to get that Power
and make sure you're connected. (II:501)

Wisdom is availing yourself of My Power instead of trying to do it on your own.

The big mistake the majority is making is that they're not coming to Me when something's going wrong, they try to figure it
out and fix it themselves. (II:507)

I'm teaching you how to give when you've got nothing to give. You just stand desperate and empty-handed before Me, not
knowing what to do or what to give, only looking to Me as your single hope, and that's exactly the moment when I can
teach you the art of the miracle of Love.
Whenever you can't do it, that's the time for you to show the magic you've learned: to let Me do it. Let Me make a way when
there is no way out. Let Me give you something to give when you've got nothing to give. Cherish this void, this emptiness,
your nothingness, for out of it I'm able to create everything and anything! (II:524)

As long as you know you need Me, or at least allow Me to remind you of that fact regularly, there is hope. (II:546)

Who will truly burn with My oil, and not just smolder and scorch away their own, oversized wick? You can be sure that it's
most likely going to be someone who is weak in their own strength, someone totally dependent on Me. (II:559)

Walk in My footsteps and that humble road of reliance and dependence on Me! (II:560)

Wait and depend on Me, and trust in Me every step of the way through a project, instead of leaning to your own
understanding! (II:574)

You may think, "I'm strong enough!" But I'm afraid I have to show you that it's true, "Without Me ye can do nothing."
Everything only becomes a mess. You're focused on yourself, instead of Me. You're focused on the circumstances, and I
couldn't show you My purpose behind them. (II:602)

When you cling desperately to Me, when you don't dare to make a move without Me, you learn to do things in My strength
and power, instead your own.
Your most important accomplishment is your time with Me! (II:603)

When you try to fix things in the flesh and in your own strength and wisdom, the outcome may improve temporarily, but
the final outcome may still not be the best, necessarily. Whereas, if you commit a matter into My hands, you can always
rest assured that the final outcome will be according to My will, and thus the best possible option there is, regardless of
what it may seem like temporarily.
Sometimes you don't need to do anything else but pray and trust. You commit the matter into My hands and then leave it
there, and I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Nothing will ever get you as far as if you let Me do it for you.
That's why I delight to let you get into situations where you're at wit's end and you don't have a clue what you're supposed
to do about it: I want you to learn the obvious, the inevitable: it has come to that; you're just going to have to trust Me!
Quit trying to do things better than I can. Just let Me do it for you! Let Me fix it for ya! (II:613)

Your sins, shortcomings and failures draw you closer to Me? You want to learn how to do better, and that's basically what
healing, learning, growing and salvation is all about: that void, that need to grow, that emptiness. You have a need for Me
when you're not perfect, when you realize you failed, when you need help to see, when you realize you really don't know
much of anything...
It shows once again that you can't do it without Me, and, well, that's basically what life is all about. Sometimes it may look
as if you can, and some people may even believe and be convinced they're doing perfectly fine without My interference or
help, but latest when man will have made an irreparable mess out of things, it will become obvious that it was just an
illusion.
No, you're not doing fine without Me!
At least not according to My rules and My book. There's way too much hurting going on, too much destruction... too much
injustice way too much suffering. The rich may think, "Why, everything's just fine as it is." But I see the suffering of the
poor, and I say, "No, it isn't." Just because a rich minority is doing fine doesn't mean that everything's fine.
Ignoring the plight of the poor is not "doing fine" by My account. (II:617)

Everybody tends to forget at times just how nothing they are and how little they really know, and how desperately they
need Me.
Everybody tends to forget that faith is a vacuum you create in your heart, for Me to fill. It's because the ego doesn't want to
hear about emptiness. (II:623)

161
How much do you avail yourself of Me, and how much do you still depend on other crutches? Can you let go of those
crutches voluntarily, or will I have to take them away? (II:627)

My Strength is found in places of emptiness where you dont feel like you can keep going in your own strength at all
anymore. That is where My strength is found, that is sufficient for thee.
I cant give it to you any other way. There is no shortcut to it, no easier way to get it. First your own strength must be
completely expired, before youre finally desperate and empty enough, ready to receive My strength, which is sufficient for
thee.
Im helping you to learn to grow in My strength, and to avail yourself of My Strength to a greater measure. My strength is
made perfect in weakness. Before, you were relying on My strength to some extent, but it was never really made perfect,
because there was still too much of your own strength there.
Rely on My strength, and seek not that old familiar strength. Its time to learn to rely on a new strength, which is totally
Mine, and to let go of the familiar old. Let Me prove to you that its true, My strength is sufficient for thee! (II:637)

As long as youre familiar with your surroundings, and you know exactly where youre going and whats coming next, you
cant rely on Me as well as in a situation where everythings open... (II:651)

Commit your ways unto Me and put your trust in Me, that I will bring those things that concern you to pass. Youre going to
have to trust in Me to do it for you, instead of vaguely hoping that it might work out alright, looking around for ways your
own arm of the flesh might get you out of this situation somehow if worse comes to worst...
Your help cometh from the Lord, which made Heaven and earth (Ps.121).
You rely not on your own understanding, not your own strength, not on luck, but on Me, the Creator of all things.
Give it to Me in prayer, put Me in charge of it. And then stand back, relax and see what happens. (II:655)

The only thing that keeps folks desperate, dependent on Me and praying as they ought, is when things are going less than
perfect for them, when there are adverse circumstances. (III:42)

I want you to know and acknowledge your dependence on Me. I want you to humbly be aware of your incapability except
for Me. (III:54)

I need you small, weak, desperate and dependent on Me. (III:55)

The position of your heart in these matters of accomplishment is just as important as the positions of individual pieces in
a machine, or some sophisticated equipment. You can't put a motor in the trunk of a car for instance. But that's in a way,
what lots of people do, like that old saying, they put their carts before their horses. It's the horse power that's got to do the
job, otherwise the cart isn't going to get anywhere, and that applies to your relation with Me, too. Some people think they
don't need the horse, or the motor or the fuel anymore, they're coasting along on some former momentum, and they don't
realize that the oil has run out or the horses are asleep. Without oil that motor's going to give up the ghost pretty soon and
cause one helluva stench.
That's why I can use you better if you just know that you're utterly dependent on good maintenance, constant refills of fuel
and oil, and make sure that the whole machinery is in order.
It's important to remember that you are not alone. There's help available for you. How silly it would be to constantly ignore
that help and insist on doing everything alone. (III:63)

Form a healthy habit of dependence on Me! (III:71)

Instead of patting yourself on the back, or trusting in your own arm of the flesh, choose to stay humble and desperate and
dependent on Me! (III:72)

As soon as you're having a problem you've got something to seek and ask Me about, you're hungry and desperate for a
solution, you need Me.
The solution lies in the very desperation, that vacuum, that void for Me to fill.
"Power, popularity and plenty are dangerous." In other words, if you're un-popular, it's good for you; if you're poor, it's
good for you, and if you're a weak little nobody, it's also good for you! (III:73)

I couldn't do anything without the Father, but because I was constantly looking unto Him, there was nothing I couldn't do.
And so it is with you: the more you look unto Me, the greater One beyond yourself enabling you to do all things, and
without Whom you're able to do nothing, the more powerful you will also become in My might. (III:77)

If you call on Me and rely on Me, you won't fail. (III:82)

I'm your principal Ally, the One you can rely on without a doubt, the One you should consult with most and first of all. (III:88)

It shocks you at times to realize how much you're failing. But use it as an opportunity to emphasize just how much you
need and are dependent on Me! (III:90)

162
The more dependent on Me you become, the closer you are connected with Me, and the closer our communication will be.
(III:104)

I like to have you desperately dependent on Me so that you won't fall back into the ever present trap of leaning on the arm
of the flesh. (III:133)

There will come a time when I will have to become your everything: your food, your oxygen, your water. You will be totally
dependent on Me. (III:144)

Only I can help you to be truly successful in your endeavors. Only I can help you rise above Satan's attempts to slow you
down. It's got to be Me and My perfect timing.
Continuing to put Me first shows your faith that when it comes down to it, I'm going to have to do it.
The spirit of competition is not nearly as conducive to success as humility and when you acknowledge you can't do it and
show that you're dependent on everybody's help, most of all Mine. (III:148)

You realize that you have a need, that you're lacking something, and that's always good news for Me, because it means
soon you're going to be asking Me for that which you lack, for Me to fill that need, which I always gladly do.
I love to fill any vacuum in your heart, your soul, any empty space there is for Me to fill.
It's really true: without Me, you are nothing; you can do nothing, and your love amounts to nothing.
It's always good news for Me when you realize how nothing you are without Me, because it means that soon you're going
to turn to Me with a renewed hunger and yearning for Me, when you were just beginning to take Me a little bit for granted
again.
Be honest: you cannot love without Me. Your own capacity to love is embarrassing because I am love, and without Me,
your ability to truly love is zero, and every now and then I need to remind you of that.
Your capacity to love anyone doesn't stem from your being such a good person, or because you're such a good child of
God, or any other goodness you might think you have, but only from Me.
Only when you come to grips with of how little you're capable, how little love you're able to give in the natural, do you
realize just how badly you need Me.
Life without Me really isn't worth living. You'll find out that there's no fun, no satisfaction in it whatsoever, if I'm not in it, if
you didn't include Me and didn't take Me with you.
I may let you get away with it for a little while and allow you to experience a little fun and diversion on your own, until
sooner or later you'll realize that there's no fun, no true pleasure at all without the true Source of all godly pleasure.
A lot of lessons and experiences in life lead to the same conclusion and realization of how much you need Me.
Youre going to make sure it's My love that's driving you.
"The love of Christ constraineth me" is a good key verse to help you remember what it's got to be. Nothing else will do. If
you forget, I will remind you. Life will remind you. Your own incapability will remind you. (III:152)

Knowing that you have no one else on this Earth you're able to fully rely on but Me is what creates a bond between us that
no one can sever.
It makes your faith in Me more real, it makes your relationship with Me more real and more storm-proof, and it makes you
more real, as you cling more and more to Me as your only hope.
There is no other One to put your faith into than Me, and by making others realize that that's what you do, and what works
for you, you will also give the right kind of example.
My disciples had to realize that it could only be the Spirit that was going to pull them through. No carnal presence, no
personality cult, nothing and no one in the flesh... Only God can see you through to accomplish what He wants you to, and
He cannot use you until you're ready and will have learned that. (III:157)

If the job is too big, too scary, too awesome for you, then that's just a reminder that it's got to be Me working through you,
since you don't stand a chance of doing it in your own energy. (III:161)

It's got to be Me and My Spirit and My message you'll want to share, so you'd better make sure that you're getting ahold of
Me, My Spirit and get My message inside first, before you get it out, so that people will be able to feel and witness that
personal connection between Me and you.
I want you to see the need, but I also want you to take the right steps in the direction of fulfilling the necessary
requirements to fill that need. You've got to let Me fill you first before you can fill that need. (III:167)

I love people who've got nothing to lose: no status or reputation to worry about.
The more utterly dependent you are on Me for every breath, every bite of food, the better.
I love it when you're dependent on Me. I love and enjoy it and indulge in when you depend on Me. (III:190)

Losses teach you dependence on Me.

The loss hurts, but in the end you learn through the way I provide new possibilities, new options, new tools and methods,
new ways of doing things and equipment to do them with, that all things will come and go, but I am the one Factor that
remains.
"All you need is love" is correct in the light of 1John 4:8 - "God is Love," and thus becomes "All you need is God."
I'd like you to become more aware of that fact.
It will help you cope with any losses, changes, any crises and drastic turn of events and circumstances.
163
It's not the things that give you your true value. It's how you handle their loss, the experiences and the wisdom you gain by
going through those ups and downs of have and have not, of win and lose, of gain and lose again, and by the way you
handle those losses, prove that you are winning and gaining again, even if it may "only" be the experience and confidence
that the only thing you can really rely on, really trust in and the only One you really need, after all, is Me. (III:196)

I never meant for anyone to try to figure it all out by themselves. Ever since Adam, I've always wanted man to look to Me
for guidance and reference, to show him what's going on, what went wrong, and how he's gotten himself into a mess that
only I can fix, when it all comes down to it. (III:197)

Everything depends on your faith to believe that somehow things are going to turn out alright because I'm in control. (III:205)

I can use those the most who will just let go of their own abilities, wisdom and stamina and strength, and will lean and
depend utterly on Me. (III:216)

Its better for Me to keep you low, small, and unrecognized. It keeps you more desperate and dependent on Me. (III:241)

The work behind the scenes is what really counts, the invisible hand of God working beneath the surface during the
months of snow... You think it's death, but it's that apparent death that brings forth the new life of the spring.
Even so the hard times that cause you to be more desperate, more dependent on Me, they do for Me the real work, which
brings on My power on your behalf in your lives. They create the vacuum that draws down My power, that yearning for Me
which causes Me to rush in an fill the need.
The dark and lean times draw you back to the reality that you need Me, that without Me you cannot make it.
I take you back to the ground of the reality that without Me you can do nothing, and that also applies to your relationship:
without Me, there is no love, for I am Love, and without Me there is no unity, for I am He Who puts together what man shall
not separate. I put together what belongs together. I am He Who makes "everything belong." (III:285)

If you don't really take time to thank Me from the heart, and bathe a project in prayer and praise, then the spirit of it can
reflect a self-sufficient attitude, rather than the necessary spirit of desperate dependence on Me. (III:290)

It's the experience of falling and failing and getting up again, ever realizing that it's not yourselves, nor of yourselves, but
only Me in spite of yourselves, and only because of your openness toward Me, your willingness to turn to Me and embrace
Me and let Me take over, that makes you grow and achieve progress. (III:292)

I'm using your sins to draw you closer to Me, and make you realize that you can't do it without Me. Your weaknesses
become the factor I use to draw you to closer dependence on Me and get you to a point of submission, yieldedness and
letting go of any less than realistic self-image, of any pretended goodness or wanna-be perfection that isn't really there.
(III:311)

It's the essence of change vibrating in you that lets others know you're alive.
It all depends on how open you are to My input, how adaptable to what I'm bringing into your life... (III:315)

It's not "the survival of the fittest," but "the survival of the closest." The one requirement for being able to survive what's
ahead is closeness to Me.
I need you to learn the art of dependence on Me, because nobody else is going to be able to help you through what's to
come, and the sooner you learn to get all your strength from Me and to put all your trust in Me, the higher are your chances
of making it.
Only I am strong enough to uphold and carry you, and that's why I need you to lean on Me with all your weight and all your
strength. (III:342)

With all the millions of people out there living in the illusion that they don't need Me, I am desperate for exceptional folks
who are dependent on Me, who are desperately in need of Me. I need you to need Me, because without folks who need Me,
I'm never going to get the job done. It's only My Power that's going to enable anyone to do the job of winning the world,
and so I need people who are desperate for that Power!
I delight in your incapability because I know that's what's going to drive you into My arms and make you beg for My Power
and grace to be poured out upon you, so that I can go to action through you and in you. (III:356)

Make sure that I'm your Source of Strength, Power and stamina! (III:370)

The kind of independence and indigenousness Im trying to teach people is to rely and depend on Me. (III:391)

Learn to make sure to run on My Power, and not your own! (III:395)

I want you to train your dependence on Me to a tee.

Its annoying when those youre supposed to be able to rely on turn out to be less than reliable, but it should stress all the
more the urgency of putting all your hopes and trust in Me. (III:404)

164
Were developing leadership qualities of the kind that will be needed during the days to come; the kind of Light that can
shine its way through the darkness of the Tribulation. Lights and energies that will rely on others will peter out sooner or
later Only those who are plugged in directly to Me and My Power will have what it takes to make it through the night.
(III:411)

Your dependence on Me has got to be established firmly before we can allow some greater influx of finances to happen in
your life, to make sure you wont get distracted and your priorities wont shift. (III:418)

Just the fact that you are so desperately dependent on Me for anything ups the chances that youre going to stick with Me
till the end. (III:423)

Its so easy to fall into a trap of self-confidence for obviously good people. Its harder for them to depend on Me for every
move they make. (III:425)

When the job seems too big for you to do it on your own, then its a good moment to rely on Me.
The main thing that hinges on you is the responsibility whether youre going to allow Me to operate through you or not;
whether youre going to be a yielded tool and instrument in My hands, or not You can do it. You can let Me do it!
I can empower you. I want to empower you, and all that really is needed for you to do is to let Me.
When it comes to doing it all right, and gracefully and perfectly, its true that it looks more as if things are going to have to
work out in spite of you, than because of you. But if you realize like this that its really going to have to be Me helping you
and doing the work miraculously through you, then My purpose has been established and accomplished, My personal goal
in all this has been reached.
My goal is to get you to let Me do it through you, and as long as you may look as if you had all things rigged up oh so
wonderfully by yourself, the chances are a lot lower, that thats going to happen.
All the things you know and have been told about how it is supposed to be, and how you should be doing it, are - in many
ways - only there to remind you just how desperately you need Me.
Time will tell who will have really learned the lesson of reliance on Me, and who will truly rise above all things, empowered
by Me and My Spirit alone, not by natural abilities. (III:431)

I need you to be dependent on Me, and I need you humble, knowing that without Me you cannot do anything good, and that
Im your only hope. (III:484)

Independent from others: by learning to be fully dependent on Me. (III:490)

You know youre going to need Me to pass this test, and thats part of the test itself, part of the challenge, because youre
just going to have to stay close to Me in order not to screw it up.
In the carnal it looks hopeless, and its a situation you can only handle with Me, My cooperation and My help, meaning that
theres a whole lot of praying to be done.
If you find yourself at wits end in your situation and you cant seem to handle it and it doesnt make any sense to you, let it
be a sign to you just how futile it is to lean on your own understanding and reasoning, and how much youre going to have
to leave up to Me and commit the whole thing to Me in prayer.
The only hope youve got not to make a mess of it, is to stay really, really close to Me and follow Me each step of the way.
(III:492)

Make your state of mind dependent on no other circumstance than your union with Me! Ive got to be the Constant in your
life, more constant than the sun, more constant than the weather!
Rejoice in a rainy day and let it be a golden opportunity for you to let Me be your Sunshine, the One to light up your life, to
bring warmth and brightness and happiness. (III:495)

You finally get to the point where you rely on Me utterly to do anything that needs to be done through you. (III:501)

Anything that makes you cling to Me and seek Me more desperately is good in My eyes, because it draws you closer to Me,
gets you more serious about things and enhances the essential skill of dependence on Me. (III:530)

Im allowing each of you to be only less than perfect for each other in order for you to get the point that only I can truly
satisfy your deepest yearning and need. (III:549)

In order to really work in My Power, youll have to get ahold of Me first. Theres no use doing something great if Im not in
it. (III:559)

I know your frame and that you are but dust, and you dont have to try to be or pretend to be anything other than dust, dust
that I, not you yourself, will elevate and lift into the light to float there and shine like diamonds. You cannot become a
diamond of dust through your own efforts. You can do what you can by keeping your face toward the light and focusing on
the light, but it is I Who is going to have to lift you up to shine and sparkle in it. (III:564)

165
My Strength is sufficient for thee is like saying, you dont need your own, physical strength anymore! Dont try to run in
your own little strength, on your own battery power, but you can rely fully on Me and on My Strength. Thats enough, thats
all you need. I promise. Just believe it!
But you need to let go of the old one first. Its like switching from battery power to current power.
You have to learn to use My Power to amplify your usefulness for Me, in order to bring the message across more clearly, in
a more powerful way.
Trust that My strength is enough for you; you can totally rely on it! I will provide for you, I will carry you, I will empower
you, move you forward when you cant do it anymore in your own strength.
There was a time when your own strength was sufficient, but that time is running out now, its going to be over soon. Soon
youll only be able to operate in My Strength. But see it not as a loss, for what you gain is so much more and so far beyond
that which you need to let go and forsake. See it like an upgrade, a promotion, a powerful innovation that revolutionizes
everything.
Plugged in to Me, you are strong, because then we are together, and its not you functioning on your own anymore, as a
separate little entity, but youre plugged in to My circuit, a part of My gigantic, universal network.
Youre trying to be good in your own strength, but that strength isnt sufficient for you. You need Mine, and let that be
enough for you.
So far youve been using My Strength to recharge your own battery, but I need you to learn to stay plugged in to My power
and operate in My Power. (III:574)

When you truly need Me, Ill always be there for you. Nothing is going to change about that. (III:579)

One of the greatest tragedies in human life is the illusion that theres no need for Me in their lives, and there are no lives as
pitiful as those of the self-satisfied who live in the delusion of having no need for Me.
Thats what the enemy is trying to construct with all of his distractions and temptations: the illusion that you dont need
Me. Hes constantly saying, Who needs Him, anyway?
Well, thats precisely the road mankind is taking, a road that will prove whether you, mankind per se, need Me, after all, or
not.
The enemy wont stop trying to get you to replace your need for Me with the need for something else, some substitute hes
trying to get you dependent on and addicted to, whatever you will allow him to use to crowd Me out of your life.
Its usually only when you have nothing left to turn to but Me, that you find the full strength of your relationship with Me
again.
What I need is you. Its just rigged up that way, that I need you and you need Me. Its the way things are supposed to be.
One of the main factors that causes things not to be the way theyre supposed to be, is that people arent aware of the fact
that they need Me, and that I need them. Thus they prevent things from becoming the way theyre supposed to be. The
heavenly life is a life where that fact and that law of the supernatural is clear and granted: that I need you, all My brides and
children, and you need Me. There is no shred of a doubt about it, ever. It permeates everything.
Its a constant give and take. Everything that is alive breathes Me in and out, and I, in return, in- and exhale you, all of My
creation. Its a supernatural, and yet natural process in the spirit world.
The quicker you learn that you need Me, and the more you remain in that consciousness of your need for Me, the better off
youre going to be, and the more stable and stronger in the spirit; not only experiencing that emptiness, that vacuum that
draws on Me and calls for Me and recognizes your need for Me when youre poor, lean, cold and wanting, but also when
you dont lack anything in the physical. - Not fooled by success, but even realizing in your strong moments that you
need Me just the same as during your weak ones. (III:587)

Just as the Father gave Me the strength and the stamina to make it despite all odds, so I can help you do the same.
I need you to turn to Me for that strength, even if I have to make you feel temporarily deserted by everyone else.
As long as you still put your hopes in anyone or anything else, you dont really stand a chance. I am truly all the hope you
ever need, and Im more than enough.
Ive got to become all you need to the extent that you wont turn your expectations to others anymore, so that all you will
want to do with respect to them is give, and not take. When it comes to your fellowmen, I need you to assume a position of
a giver, not a taker. Ive got to get you to realize that they havent got anything to give of what you actually need, but that I
alone am the sole Filler of those needs.
Ive got to become the Filler of your need for companionship, for love, for comfort, relief, and everything else, and even if I
supply it by means of others, youve got to give Me the honor and credit for it. (III:588)

I need to be needed by you in order to get My purpose accomplished. (III:590)

Make sure that you wont allow yourself to put your confidence in your own flesh, your own wit and abilities, instead of in
Me! (III:595)

Dependence on Me furthers obedience. Independence promotes disobedience. Independence promotes selfishness,

because it causes you to think I deserve this and I deserve that because I have wrought this and that with my own
hands, and so you pursue and chase your own happiness. Dependence on Me knows I deserve nothing, and thus
humbly and gratefully accepts and yields to whatever I bring along in your life.
Thats a handful of reasons which explain why I must try to keep you dependent on Me.
A system of dependence is often the only way to ensure that a son or daughter will pursue the path of obedience.

166
While dependence on the System is a questionable thing, you can always be assured that dependence on Me is a good
thing, because I truly and always have nothing but the best intentions for you in mind, and you can always be certain that
whatever I allow or dont allow in your life is for your best.
As soon as you shift your dependence from Me to the arm of the flesh, things start going haywire and everything starts
coming apart at the seams.
In the System, independence is hailed as a virtue and as something worthy of pursuit. My goal is to set you free from such
false paradigms by giving you the deliberating truth that you dont have to depend on yourself for happiness and success
in life. In fact, you can pretty much forget about it, because real happiness is found exclusively in dependence on Me.
Youre merely recognizing a widely ignored fact: that youre all dependent on Me for every breath of air, every ray of
sunshine and every drop of rain, and thus every bite of food to begin with, and by recognizing that and giving honor to
Whom it is due and ceasing to rebel against that ordained system of dependence on Me, youre just coming back to the
natural way of things, the way they were originally intended to be.
Be mindful of the fact that you dont have to be and should not be envious of evildoers, and you wouldnt want to be
independent of Me and making a mess of things.
If you refuse to be too proud to admit that youre dependent on Me for everything, youll always have everything you need,
plus safety and shelter from the storms of this life, and youll make it somehow. (III:597)

I need you to find out by experience that the results simply wont be the same when you try to do things without Me as
when you include Me and commit the day into My hands first. I need to make it obvious to you that relying on Me is
doubtlessly the preferable option to relying on your own strength and wisdom.
Too many people try to do things on their own without Me, without consulting Me, acknowledging Me, and often even
without considering Me or asking for My help at all. Just a quick stamp of approval, perhaps, so they cant say they never
prayed, but not really looking up to Me for constant guidance.
You can do it yourself, if you insist, but the result will never be the same as when you include Me. You can do it, but
whether youre going to be doing a good job at it is another question. (IV:15)

The more each of you will cling to and rely on Me, the more harmony there will be, and disturbing factors will be erased.
(IV:28)

Many factors force you to cling to Me and seek My face, instead of enabling you to just cruise along by sight. The only
way anybody in My service is ever going to make it to the finish line victoriously is by faith, not by sight and being able to
calculate every little step ahead, relying on ones own strength, wit and abilities.
So its going to take a miracle for you to be able to make it, instead of you being able to rely on your own skill. Does that
surprise you that Im not allowing you to get away with relying on your own strength?
I want and need success to be brought about by My Spirit, My power and grace, not by your relying on your own skills.
The final outcome and happy end of history will be despite the mess that mankind would have made out of it all, and only
because of My wonder-working and miraculous grace, and thats what I want you to put your whole faith in, not any
personal, carnal abilities.
Its natural for the flesh to want to show off all that it can and all that it is, and that remains ones priority until the point
where the flesh has reached its limits and proven itself to be insufficient.
Is it any wonder that there is such a great lack of My Holy Spirit, as long as everybody just tries all they can do in the
flesh?
There is still way too much flesh energy and carnal attempts to make it happen instead of folks really relying on Me to do it
for them or through them. (IV:29)

There are times when its simply time to be still and know that I am God, to remember Who is Boss, and let Me have back
the first place and priority in your life again, after a stretch of showing how wonderfully you were able to do it using a lot of
your own strength.
With each passing year I want you to avail yourself more of My strength and less of your own.
The more desperate and dependent on Me you are, and the less you confide in the flesh, the better things will be. (IV:34)

The younger you are, the more you want to do yourself. The weaker you become, the more you learn to rely and depend on
My Strength, and this is the way you truly get more accomplished.
I want you to learn how to professionally rely on My Strength, My guidance and wisdom, so that once the younger crowd
starts running out of their natural steam, you can show them an even better way that is found in letting go of the trust in
the arm of the flesh, and starting to rely on a much greater Power (IV:55)

How do you become more dependent on Me? By trying to maneuver and manipulate the circumstances into the most ideal
and best possible position for you? No, rather by yielding and saying yes to whatever situation and condition you find
before you, even if its hard, and then relying on My help to get you through that.
You may be more inspired during the good times, even more productive, but thats not what counts to Me. What counts for
Me is how much you lean and depend on Me instead of your circumstances! How much you allow Me to let you rise
above your circumstances, help you conquer them and make the best out of whatever you encounter in life. (IV:60)

If youre going to accomplish something of significance for Me, its going to have to be done by My power, via My
directions to you, and for My glory, or its just going to fall flat, and never be what you would wish for it to be.

167
You cannot mistake service to Me as only action. In fact, 90% of it is interaction with Me, Your communion with Me, your
devotion to Me, and I will do the rest through you. I will then inspire and empower you to do the physical part of executing
whatever is My will for you to do.
My strength is enough for you, but your own could never be enough. When youre weak, then I am strong in you, but when
youre strong in your own strength, then I cannot be seen in you, and I can hardly shine through. So, ask Me whether I
want to see you weak or strong. Ask Me whether its your physical strength and togetherness I need in order to do what I
want to get done through you.
I prefer you to stay empty and desperate and yearning for Me than full and content and self-satisfied with your own
accomplishments. Id rather have you seeking Me and wondering, Lord, what can I do for you, than pointing at all that
you have done for Me already. (IV:69)

You cant do My work without My Power, and if theres a problem with the power connection, weve got to fix it first, before
you can continue doing My work.
How prepared are you for a situation in which youd have to trust Me and Me alone?
How else will you be ready then, unless you learn how to trust Me now for everything? (IV:82)

The one Factor I want you to be dependent on is Me. As long as youre clinging to Me, and what you hang on to, as you
hang in there is Me, even during the most turbulent turn of lifes roller coaster ride; youll be safe and sound.
Worries, cares and problems only come into being when you allow other factors to replace that role which Im supposed to
play in your life, and they become more important to you.
The sooner youll have learned to truly rely on your communication with Me for your survival, the stronger and better off
youre going to be.
The essential communication is the spiritual communication, even if it may not seem to be getting you anywhere in this
world.
In reality, it is much more important and crucial in keeping you alive and going, and successfully so, than any physical
means of communications ever could.
Its your prayer-, praise- and prophecy-line that keeps you alive and kicking, more than your telephone line, your internet
connection, or even the power lines that supply you with electricity.
Youve been dependent on those physical connections for practically your whole life, and its not so easy to make the
transition of switching to Spirit Power, but thats basically what this whole lesson of Flesh vs. Spirit amounts to. (IV:83)

I specialize in those who plainly cant make it through life without Me. I have a special love for those who really and
desperately need Me. Sure, their minds may tell them like everyone else that they can make it on their own, too; that
they are strong enough, etc., but reality keeps knocking on their window, and experience continues to teach them that they
simply dont have the strength to make it through this world on their own, nor without the help from above from Someone
that wont let them down.
So, if you feel bad about being too weak to make it on your own through this life, be comforted and know that I dont see
that weakness as a handicap at all, but rather as a strength and an asset that will give you an advantage over others who
will have to go the long detour of finding out that making it in their own strength will not lead them to that closeness with
Me where their innermost heart and core of their being would really yearn to go. (IV:136)

Without Me, you can do or give nothing really worthwhile, and your time with Me has got to come first in order for you to
really have something to give and pass on. (IV:139)

Dont forget about the Jesus Factor as you go through your day and try to figure things out, make sense of it all and
solve the riddles. Im your Ace and relying on Me is your smartest move.
If you avail yourself of Me, My counsel, My Power, and My Presence, all that I have put at your disposal, you cant lose.
Thats why handicaps and unfavorable circumstances are actually an asset in the long run, because they cause you to
avail yourself of My Power and wisdom and help, which is the best that could possibly happen to you. (IV:142)

When trouble comes you wont be able to rely on any group. Youre going to have to be able to rely on Me; thats what
matters, and thats what will count: how much will you have learned to truly rely on Me? (IV:196)

I want you to become dependent on Me, not on paper!

I want you to know that Im a greater force to be reckoned with than any amount of money in the world.
Financial power all good and nice, but nothing compared to My Power!
When it comes to a factor that people put their trust in, then money is definitely My rival no.1, and it happens subtly. How
dependent folks become on money only becomes evident once I start withdrawing it or allow its flow to be reduced. If I see
that it doesnt have any effect on their faith and trust in Me and they remain cheerful and thankful, then I know money does
not affect them, but if I see that their trust starts to crumble, then we have a problem, and we need to work on it. (IV:198)

The more you rely on the Spirit, the less you will have that urge to do it yourself, in the flesh. You simply learn by
experience that the Spirit is the easier and better and more effective way in the long run, that the flesh may have its
advantages, but theyre always finite, and sooner or later its bound to let you down, and the sooner you will have learned
to depend on the Spirit, the more and longer you will find yourself sustained even in situations in which the flesh would
have let you down.
Its essential for you to recognize that the power is not yours but Mine.
168
Its one reason why I have to keep you physically weak and obviously dependent on Me.
Ive got to have you wait for Me. I cant let you do it on your own. Only together with Me are you as strong as you need to
be for this battle thats coming up. (IV:209)

I dont want you to be complacent. I want you to stay in a mode in which youre desperately seeking Me for every step,
never taking for granted that your current procedure or state is just perfectly fine without any further need for
improvement. (IV:210)

Dependence on Me is what counts, and we are in the process of taking that principle out of the realm of the theoretical and
putting it into practice, applying it in the real world. (IV:215)

I need to train your muscles of dependence on Me alone, even if its painful having to watch others on your left and right
blessed with material abundance to a greater extent than you. (IV:219)

I want you to rely on Me, not on any institution of man or whatever promises people give you. (IV:275)

Im working on shifting your sense of security away from the confidence in circumstances, your own wit or strength, or
just simply luck, over to My side. People are so often confident in fake securities. Be it the assumption that all things will
continue as they are, or that somehow theyre going to make it because theyre strong or smart enough
Not a lot of folks really depend on Me. So, whenever I do have a candidate who stands a chance at learning that lesson and
place their confidence in Me, instead of any of those other factors, I keep after them, and try to get them to really dig it. -
Which explains why I have to bluntly allow you to reap the results of your failure to do so. (IV:296)

When it comes down to it, all youve really, really got in the end to rely on is Me, and Im hoping that you will finally truly
begin to see that I am, in fact, more than enough, even if you cannot possibly feel it right now.
Having learned to depend on Me never comes in as handy as during a time when you lose someone who played an
important or even pre-eminent role in your life.
Ground your dependence solely in Me, regardless of what people might say.
This is a golden opportunity for Me to really draw you close to Me without distraction, and truly teach you to depend utterly
on Me, and even if this whole situation may seem as a great evil to you, in My eyes it is actually a greater good. (IV:314)

Im really your only Light, the only One you can fully and wholly rely on, as difficult as that may seem for you to take.
Its important that you recognize My preeminence over the presence of any single person in your life that you might be
prone to make yourself and your feelings and state of mind so dependent on. (IV:321)

You cannot be both, dependent on Me and someone else at the same time; at least not in the long run. (IV:325)

You need to cope with the fact that you are indeed dependent on Me for all your blessings and hearts desires. Its not luck
or your own skills, talents or wits that are going to get you what you want, but only your faith in Me, your prayers, and your
connection with Me. (IV:377)

In the end, dependence on Me is the only thing that is going to see you through. Reliance on Me is whats going to see you
through, more even than any human partnership. (IV:411)

So, you cant make it without Me. Why not just enjoy that fact and lean back and relax and depend and lean on Me? (IV:436)

Rely on Me and trust and confide that I will shine through you and do what you cant! (IV:444)

As long as you remember to rely and depend on Me to love and shine, you will.
As far as dependence goes, you cant work and shine in the long run without Me, My input, My Power and Spirit in you.
(IV:454)

The more dependent on Me you learn to be, the better off youre going to be. (IV:454)

Difficulties and challenges are there to remind you that you cant make it without Me, and that youre dependent on Me.
(IV:474)

I want to ground you well in your dependence on Me, and teach you to make Me the main Factor in your life youre going to
depend on, because youll always be better off in the long run doing that. Simply because there are factors and
circumstances beyond human control that happen to make it so that youre better off trusting in and depending on Me
most and above all! (IV:485)

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

the Devils Devices

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2Corinthians2:11

If the devil cant stop you, hell try to slow you down, and hell do that by tempting you with things that are not My best and
highest will for you for the moment, but that which I call his second best! He cleverly uses your curiosity and interest in
things, your own desires, inklings and feelings thats his playground: your little urges to which you so quickly and
easily yield. (I:35)

As long as you lash out at the enemy, youre bound to win. Hell 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. Hes the first to scream, Thats not fair!, and will be the
first to break the rules. Hes 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:63)

I can make you happy! Who else knows all your hearts desires? The devil may be in on some of them, but he will only
tempt you with counterfeits that may look like theyll make you happy, but... I will! (I:67)

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. Theyll 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:70)

I am much more loving, patient, longsuffering and 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 and 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 whats one of his favorite words?- Unfair! And subtle and sly as he is, he manages
to convince quite a few with his propaganda. But dont listen to, much less believe his rap about Me not loving you! You
mean everything to Me! Dont let the old punk tell you anything else! I love you more than youre able to fathom. (I:71)

Dont let the agents of darkness tell you youre too insignificant, youre not worthy and 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. Thats why
they hate and fear you. (I:72)

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 and disguise it in a cloak and veneer of self-
righteously being convinced of the saintlihood and faultlessness of the selfish person, only able to see the faults in others.
Thats the perfection of the art of Lucifer, thats his masterpiece: Pride!
He easily finds entrance into the hearts of those who dont 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 and My mercy and fully realize that anything good about them is
nothing of their own merit, only those who truly strive to prefer others to themselves, and 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 cant give that much, are you crazy? Remember, everyone has a right to demand their minimum amount of privacy!!!
The Devil is the advocate and promoter of privacy! (I:93)

The devil has become a master at subtly spreading his message, camouflaging it in cloaks of independence and
individuality, when all the while conniving to enslave them all to his demons, manifested in their own lusts, selfish
pursuits and ambitions.
Be freed from this lie, which has been binding you, tying your hands and stopping your mouth, keeping you from
proclaiming My truth as you should.
In this day and age, the devil has greater power to exert over the masses the pressure to conform. His subtle message is:
Dont dare to be different, or youre going to be ridiculed, youre going to be cast out, youll be one of the losers! And the
170
sneers, snickers and shaking of heads by those around you will only confirm it. Thats 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 and toeing the line, saying Uncle
to the System. With others its 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. (I:101)

Everythings going to be alright! Even if it seems that everythings going all wrong, temporarily, for the devil and his
cohorts are given temporary control over this world, you will see: Everythings 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 and 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. (I:107)

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 and 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 devils 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 devils
favorite game. Make people aware of that! (I:110)

Passive rebellion is a very poisonous spirit. Its 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 and then they can point their
finger and say, See? I knew it. (I:116)

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. (I:131)

Constantly focusing on the hole in the doughnut is a very dangerous trick of the devil. Its 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 youre missing out on, nobody will believe you that
youve got anything more than what theyve got. (I:132)

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 believers 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 and 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 followers to make a
god out of anything or anyone else but the Father. (I:133)

Praise is the voice of faith, and the opposite is also true: cursing is the voice of unbelief, its the ultimate statement that I
am not in control, its the life-blood and breath of murmuring, the epitome and manifestation of thanklessness and
ingratitude! (I:140)

Trust that I can satisfy you fully. Dont let the enemy get your focus on the hole in the doughnut and on all that you think
youre lacking and missing out on, when youre so richly blessed!
There is a great danger in not recognizing and appreciating My blessings, for usually the only way for Me to make you
appreciate and acknowledge them if youre unable to see them, is by withdrawing them and making you see them by the
lack of them when theyre gone.
Gratitude and thanking and praising Me is so important and 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 and Filler of all things, and praise Me for all I have given you already even if you cant 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 elses blessings look so much bigger than
yours... (I:148)

The enemy was dealing with Me and said, Sure theyre 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 and theyll all fall for me, Youll 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 and shiny toys and distractions and enticements. I had to
let him make Me and My prophets look like fools to have been predicting an earlier doom, and now... Its true, many have
171
fallen by the wayside and have given in to the attraction and the lure. Many have been hypnotized by his sirens and 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 youve 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. (I:152)

The devil may stand in front of you and sneer, What do you think youre 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 cant see
what he sees. That torch youre wielding is a searing hot weapon that makes his demons squeal and run, and he knows the
only chance he has of getting you to stop is to bluff you into thinking it doesnt really amount to much after all, what youre
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! Dont let him fool you! Its exactly the other way around: Your personal
problems are tiny, unimportant and insignificant in comparison to the monumental task of flooding the devils territory of
darkness in My Light! (I:167)

Quit listening to the devil and believing all the lies he tells you about yourself or others!
This is a war you should be able to enjoy because youre so far superior to your enemy! Hes bluffing and lying and trying
to trick you with his magic of making everything hes got look sooo big.
But all youve gotta do is snip your fingers and the facade collapses and 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 and 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 magicians, and you can free people from Satans spell and wake them up
out of their trance! Refuse to let fear his greatest trick have any grip or power over you whatsoever! Come and get
soaked in My perfect love every hour of every day! Let us never be apart! Lets stay connected! He may growl and try his
scare tactics on you, or try to weave one of his hypnotic spells of doom and 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 were gonna bring
Satan to his knees! Hes going to cower before you and whine and beg you to stop.
Im right behind you, and theres nothing the punk can ever do to harm you. He only will keep trying if he senses that
theres doubt in your heart. He only has power over you through any seeds he has sown in your heart that youve allowed
to grow there. But if your garden is clean and strong, filled with My life-giving Word, and youre in tune with Me, he can do
nothing!
He only attacks when youre weak. Thats why its so important that you stay faithful and really make Me your A No.1
responsibility and focal point in life, every day! (I:171)

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 and simple belief and trust in Me. Brick by brick, lie by lie, blocking Me out.
Break down that wall! You cant do it with half-hearted efforts! Youve got to put your heart and some umph into it! Break it
down!
Its 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 dont 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 dont even have the
hope of a better and brighter, more colorful world to come...!
I could be the answer to all their problems, and yet, they reject Me because of the lies theyve 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! (I:179)

The enemy likes to operate incognito. If you would always recognize his voice as being his, you wouldnt 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 and view of things, like a very smooth and 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,
isnt it? And its very reasonable indeed, when you think of it! You were right all along... Making something sound like your
own idea, when its actually just his perverted way of seeing things is one of his oldest and favorite tricks!
So, check your thoughts and bring them before Me: Lord, is this attitude really Yours that Im having? Try the spirits,
especially the ones that enter your own mind!
The devil always accuses others of the very thing hes most guilty of himself!
His input is always presented irresistibly attractive, and its definitely not always real, but more often than not simply a
downright, blatant lie! Hes the father of lies and thats what hes best at: lying, cheating, bluffing, faking, deceiving...
everything that is false, he is the master of.
Dont let the evil one deceive you anymore! I give you the power to see right through his false and phony front. Loosen
yourself from the deceptive bonds of appearance! (I:182)

So many hear the voices of the enemy, the voices of self-justification, or listen to the debilitating voices of doubt.
172
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 and evil spirits of the System
snatch My golden Words right off of their minds and hearts again, keeping them busy with other, trivial things to think
about, and the sunshine and warmth of the comfortable lush life dries them up, sucks the life out of them and 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. (I:193)

You have to come with determination, boldness and desperation before My throne of grace to find mercy and 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 devils trickery and 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 dont expect
miracles anymore, you quit, you surrender, you give up. (I:194)

The god of this world appeals to all that your flesh desires, all you could ever dream of having in this life, in order to get
you away from Me and the Spirit.
He fights for your time, your energy, your attention. And every minute he achieves to lure you away from Me to fulfill the
gratification of the flesh, is a point for him, which weakens you a little more, delays your progress a little more. He knows
he cannot stop you, so he delays you. Hes throwing gimmicks, obstructions, obstacles and all manner of devices onto
your path, the course you run for Me, to slow you down, to keep you from reaching that goal, to get you to miss the mark,
which is what sin means. (I:202)

One of the advantages of the enemy over you is your carnal tendency to expect things to happen in the usual way, not any
differently from the way youve seen or experienced things happening before. (I:209)

Through sin, Satan is able to attack you with condemnation. But only until you get a hold of Me and 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 enemys vibes, trying to belittle you, to
put you down. (I:212)

The devil will take a thousand year ride he wont forget, playing yo-yo in the bottomless pit.
Yes, ridicule him, he cant stand that! Dont underestimate him, but dont respect him too much, either, for he doesnt really
deserve any respect. Hes a foul traitor, and a pitiful case, the true epitome of a loser, although right now hes really acting
up and is pretending to be the winner. Hes all fake and phony, the only thing thats real about him is his spiritual stench,
and thats all there will be left of him, someday, a bad-flavored memory of a chapter in the history of the universe which
everyone will have learned one good thing out of: Never to want any of it again. (I:213)

Dont let the perverted and twisted thoughts and doubts of the enemy interfere and cause static and pollute your mind!
Block him out! Leave him out in the cold! Hes got no part in you, you are Mine, and theres nothing he could ever do to
change that. Theres nothing you could ever do to change that. (I:216)

The enemy first makes you feel really bad about yourself, and so little in your own eyes, makes you hear all their sneers
and criticisms of you sometimes real and 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 and 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 youre not as pitiful as they are, you know now theyre deceived, but you cant really come up
with sufficient love for them to humble yourself and submit yourself into their hands, like I did, becoming their servant.
Youve got to find your own personal Mr. Smith, who is belittling and 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 its useless? Youve 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, and then look him in the eye, and say defiantly, Because I chose to! Because this is what
Im born to do: I am destined to fight and lick you bastard, Im destined to win! So, get out of my way, you little satanic
nincompoop, in the name of the power of the keys! (I:220)

You have many enemies. And youve got to fight them one by one. They know they cant 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 cant 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 and affairs that you wont
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 and commodities and rights.
173
Theyre only the infantry. Next come the archers, then the spear fighters and finally the horsemen. Or in terms of modern
warfare: next are the tanks, then the planes and finally the missiles.
What the punk isnt realizing, is that with each battle, beloved, youre growing stronger. And with every new upgrade and
weapon he tries on you, you grow stronger and develop ever greater resistance against him. They will finally realize that
they wont have a chance against you from the spiritual realm anymore, and will see their last resort in attacking you in the
physical during the tribulation, and thats right where I want them. He thinks youre the mice and hes the cat, when all
along, youre only the bait to trap him into the physical world, where we will be able to finally annihilate his whole system.
Hes going to find out that in chasing you, hes bitten off more than he can chew. (I:221)

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 and 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 and 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. (I:223)

The devil would like to sneak in and grab the glory for virtually everything thats pleasant under the sun.
What matters is whether you give Me the glory! Refuse to give it to him! (I:263)

I am a greater Lover than the god of this world. He only seeks to enslave them, puts them into a trance and gets them
hooked on selfish lust.
But Im 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 and happiness in any other... (I:265)

The flesh is almost like the false identity the enemy wants to give you; the weak, sinful and despicable you. But you can
look way past that at your higher anointing and youll know what Ill make you capable of. That which you can be and 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 and the System are trying to give you and that you render your
services completely to Me. Be a fully functioning agent for My cause and dont let them brainwash you any longer into
believing and accepting the loser role he would like to put you in. (I:266)

You must be watchful that those cares of life dont choke the effect of My Word on your heart. The devil is trying hard! (I:268)

The devil is always telling mankind that Im cheating you, just because I dont tell you everything there is to know all at
once, when hes the biggest cheat and liar of all times in fact, the father of lies.
Hes going to appear as the great savior from all My supposed injustices; I am the culprit in his version of the story, and
you are all My victims... poor abused guinea pigs, who are never being told the whole truth by Me.
Im not telling you lies, he is. And in order to distract from the fact that hes such a blatant liar, as usual, he points his
crooked finger at Me, accusing Me of not telling you the whole truth. (I:290)

Your sample will never be perfect enough to withstand the onslaught of the devils lies. No matter how good you are, you
could never be perfect enough for him to stop accusing you in the ears and 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 and not so loosely, as that is exactly the way the enemy can get in: by giving all that leisure, and an
idle mind is his workshop. (I:292)

Its the enemy, through his tares and weeds of the cares of this life, along with his evil birds, his evil spirits that whisper
doubts and lies into your mind, that I dont 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 wont let the seeds of My love sprout
in you. Tear them out and burn them, and follow Me into My chamber, completely forgetting about the Enemy and his old
World. Let him have this whole World, but let Me have you, and let yourself be full of Me!
Its 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 and his system, when in reality Ive set you completely free!
You must shed the cloud of the influence and spirit and emotion that dream would have on you, the Devils dream world.
Dont let the Devils sleeping gas put you to sleep! (I:293)

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 and gloomy veil of sadness, of loss, of defeat, when there's yet everything to gain! (I:315)

The devil is sooo busy distracting My children from focusing on Me. (I:316)

You must see that its not the person fighting you, but the enemy through them, so look past the person and deal with and
address the enemy, the spirit thats using them to attack you! (I:326)

174
The devil will always try to enter your midst somehow, and just like Ive had to endure Judas presence or Peters out-of-
the-spirit statements, or James and Johns, or Thomas, youre all human and prone to be attacked by the enemy, some
more frequently than others.
It doesnt make much sense to approach a person under attack as if everything was normal you always have to go
about it prayerfully and expect a battle and verbal attack of the enemy! (I:329)

If you dont speak up about your desires and battles, and you dont 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 and they love everyone else more than you: Hell also give you the desire to leave. After all, everyone will
be better off if you leave! (I:337)

The devil hates every minute and every second you spend with Me, because he knows with each of those moments you
grow stronger and become a greater threat to his kingdom of darkness! (I:342)

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... (I:346)

To look for details that arent so in My Word is one of the devils oldest tricks. Hath God said so? Ye shall not surely
die! And he was right: they didnt. At least not right away. But the punishment was there, and I tell you, it was worse for
them than death. When death finally came for Adam and Eve, it was like sweet relief from the pain and suffering they had
brought upon themselves and the whole World by choosing to believe the devils lie over My Word.
So, the devil will always find something I said he can point his finger at and gleefully say, See? Not true! to get you to
discard the whole message, so you wont believe and receive it, but rather believe his version. But youll be the one
suffering the consequences. Whether youll die right away or later: you will know one day that your death your spiritual
death and decline occurred the moment you chose to doubt My Word and disobey... you were just buried later. (I:357)

The enemys subtle message always promotes the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life.
Whatever doesnt promote Me and My truth, must be promoting something else... the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eyes and the pride of life... Even what they call love doesnt 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 Satans tricks. (I:358)

The enemy knows who his most dangerous and potentially powerful opponents are, so hes not going to send out his
troops to attack those who are spiritually asleep, but those who are a menace and a threat to his kingdom. Hes going to
try to get you to lower the standard and 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 and lack of support from
within our own ranks!). (I:389)

Dont listen to the enemys voice, nor look at his distractions and 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 devils 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 doesnt stand a chance as soon as you let Me move in with My reality, that what I
consider relevant and important! The devil goes: Oh, but the money, and all the bills... I say, Seek ye first My Kingdom
and 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 Devils
option of disobedience. But is it really so?
There seemed to be more in it for Adam and 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
and agony ever since, in trade for paradise.
What is it that makes the devils option of disobedience so attractive to you?
Hes 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 youre
willing to let them go down the drain forever. No chance to hear from Me, no opportunity to make that choice... (I:392)

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, and so are his followers. They're trying to rob My servants and enslave them, bind them so
they're not free to serve Me.
The devil wants to strip you of your rights and your freedoms to serve Me, but I want you to rise above all that. (I:401)

The enemy has lured and enticed so many, lulled them to sleep with his poisonous gas into a compromising state of
peaceful coexistence with him, that he knows he has practically won the war by peace! "He shall destroy many by peace..."
(Dan.8:25). (I:405)

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 and the enticements of the world,
175
and you'll see, they'll forget You, they'll all turn their backs on you! Let me twist their minds with worldly thoughts and
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 and tempt My brides is over! The time has come to attack! (I:406)

You don't have to take every temptation the devil hands you. (I:409)

The devil is trying to come up with more and more perfect counterfeits and substitutes and distractions all the time: more
and more perfect entertainment, shows, computer games, movies, System music and sounds, all available by remote
control, so you don't even have to move or do anything to get instant satisfaction; more and more perfect tasting food with
artificial flavors, made to even "top" My natural flavors I have put in foods naturally, more and more perfect drugs and
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 and
entertainments? Who wants to deal with real people, when the faces and bodies on TV are so much more "perfect"? Who
wants to deal with real life when the thrills and kicks he can give you are so much nicer, easier, better? Well, there's only
one thing about it all and that's that it isn't real. It's all fake and phony, and you're enjoying it all on borrowed time and
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, and when all this
artificial "perfection" will have left the World high and 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!" (I:411)

The enemy hates My predictions and visions of the future and 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 and delay
he causes. After all, he knows he can't stop Me; all he can do is try to delay Me and My plans by throwing a few monkey
wrenches into My machinery, frantically trying to delay and 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 and bring back to life many of
those he has successfully lulled to sleep. (I:415)

The devil has conditioned people to such an extent, puffed up their egos and blown up their pride and self-will thus, that
it's a mental habit very hard to kick to be selfish, seek your own ends and put yourself in the first place.
Do you think the enemy just settles for the flesh? His pipes, bells and drums are spirit, too! They are the spirit of rebellion
against Me. Their spiritual influences usually have the effect on people that they indulge in the flesh even more. They fall
prey to all kinds of vices, perverted sexual practices, and worst of all, it strengthens their egos and pride, alienating them
ever more from Me and causing them to distance themselves from Me more and more. In reality, the devil is just trying to
win them over to his camp, so that they'll be ready and willing vessels for him and his demons when the time comes. (I:427)

The devil is a cunning master of propaganda and twisting things around with his lies. He'll convince the masses that black
is white and 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, and he'll use anyone who'll let him and who'll swallow his baloney. (I:439)

If you do things right, the devil will fight you, and he'll fight you the hardest in the beginning stages, so that he can
convince you to quit before you can even get started... (I:441)

Is their body, their mere physical existence and its pleasures really that important to them that they're willing to completely
neglect their souls and 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? (I:445)

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 and 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:450)

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 and 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 and 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 and best! (I:452)

Fearlessly fight the enemy as one who is truly willing to die for his cause, for that's the kind of foe that the enemy cannot
stop! He cannot intimidate one who refuses to cower or be frightened by his bluffs. Any attempts of his to stop you, you
must see through them as bluffs! (I:454)

176
Beware of the flesh and the pressure it would like to put you under! The rush and the fretting and 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! (I:470)

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!" (I:472)

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 and studying about his twistings of the truth, so
that they don't even have time anymore to learn from life itself. (I:483)

Stress and pressure can be tricks of the enemy to get you out of the gear of trusting in Me fully, and being led of Me. (I:484)

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 and the spectrum of a subjective point of view.
A subjective point of view often completely fails to see the overall picture and zooms in on a tiny little issue, magnifies and
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 and hinder, to divide and conquer and destroy your unity.
Watch out for the devil's traps! He knows where your weak spots are and when you're most vulnerable. (I:491)

Baal seeks to tie you down in self-condemnation, and belittling and hurting those around you.
Worship of Baal, in this day and 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 and intellects and 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, and thus also show little or no respect to others, but only disdain and contempt instead. It is Baal who makes
you look down on others, belittle them and causes you not to esteem them nor yourself. He is one of Satan's executives of
the hatred and disdain he has for mankind. It's that attitude of resigning to negativity and 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 and violence on the Earth, one of the devil's vilest officers, instigating
strife among men, persecution and discrimination and torture, oppression by the strong against the weak...
Beware of his evil inroads into your heart and mind by trying to get you to despise and 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 constantly points at the
"flaws" with which I've made you and others. (I:506)

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 and spinning new lies all the time, so, don't you fall for them! Stay close to My truth, and be also faithful to expose
the enemy's lies he uses on your loved ones, but do so in love! (I:511)

In having made a truce with the enemy, folks are also subject to his "comments" on issues. How much do you allow
yourself to be affected by those comments? How much do you listen to those doubts? (I:531)

The enemy can't stand it when one of My disciples 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 and 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 and his System.
You have the weapons of heavenly thought power, prayer and praise...
His only chance lies in trying to dissuade you from ever beginning to use those weapons. (I:542)

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).

177
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 and subtle poisoning
by posing as your "friend", bringing into your life all the tempting things that will cause you to lower your guard and
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 and 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 and traitor and 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. (I:550)

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, and washed away the garbage and filth the
Devil would have liked to dump in your temple of the Holy Ghost, which he will try over and over and 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 and don't let him usurp your temple! (I:553)

The enemy wants to make it tough on you, and he makes you want to regret your choice to become his and his system's
enemy almost before you finish making it. He's asking, "Are you sure you want to leave my dreamland of compromise, the
warm and cozy state of truce with me? Are you sure you want to join the side of those who have declared an all-out war
against me?"
He knows, if there would be a way to get by peacefully coexisting with the devil and still pleasing Me at the same time, you
probably would. But there isn't. And so, the only choice you've got is all-out war against the enemy. And he'll fight you
back, for sure. He sends his emissaries, just to remind you that the nice, comfortable days of truce are over. (I:554)

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 and 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! (I:561)

The enemy is trying to stifle and smother communication that's spiritually edifying in any way he can. Although the
physical means of communication have improved and 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 and
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 and 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 and all boring each other to death,
when they could find so much life, so much fun and excitement by focusing outward, first of all on Me, and then on others,
helping them to find true purpose in Me and truly deep and satisfying things to talk about.

178
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 and 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 and 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
and touch and consume right now, they couldn't care less about eternity. All that interests them is right here and right now,
no matter how. (I:578)

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. (I:588)

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 and 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. (I:589)

It's pretty hard to create new habits and a modus operandi that revolves around others when you've been spending so
many years revolving basically around you and how you feel and 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 and strain life is handing you and 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 and
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? (I:597)

The enemy is pretty subtle and very quick in building new Egypts, strengthening hidden and formerly unknown parts of
your "old man," and sometimes it takes time to even recognize them, which is expedient, though, in order to be able to
fight them. (I:598)

Relying entirely on Me and My sustenance for your living, you will come much closer to full possession and 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. (I:611)

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 and deceit." (II:4)

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
and lying! Zap his evil bubble of deceit! Expose him and laugh at him and 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, and some
will laugh at this atrocity, others will cry. (II:13)

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 and powerful in
deceiving you and trying to get you to doubt and "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. (II:25)

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 and schemes... Attacks of doubt, discouragement, delusion, depression... Once you finally do call out
to Me in desperation, and ask Me to save you, I come through for you and will be the sunshine after a rainy day for you,
and more. (II:27)

179
When you feel the enemy attacking you in your mind, go on the offensive! Refuse to let him play his dirty games with you!
(II:29)

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 and
obstacle blocking your way. (II:30)

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 and oppressions not only manifest themselves through
thoughts in your mind, but also emotions, feelings, moods... the whole spectrum of your inner being. (II:45)

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 and attempts to trap you so that you won't fall for them. (II:58)

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 and 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! (II:59)

Don't allow the enemy to hold you back with pride and fears! (II:72)

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! (II:76)

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... (II:82)

The enemy is trying to subvert and 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. (II:93)

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 and the greater,
hidden reward beyond the apparent loss of the thing you gave away. (II:94)

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 and smartest ways for him to get My followers 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 and performing My will, no, the apparent freedom of doing your own thing. (II:95)

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 and do it anyway. (II:98)

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

180
better and 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, and wanting to share your spiritual riches with them, you doubt, and 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 and false gospel of, "Blessed is the flesh! Blessed are the rich! Blessed are the
proud and those who don't need any spirituality..." (II:118)

Don't let the devil cheat you out of the joy of your reward by his twistings and turnings! The twisting and wiggling snake! It
gives you peace and a feeling of victory and satisfaction to know you have him exposed! You've got his number, you know
where he's at, you've got him down pat and he can't fool you anymore, pull no more wool over your eyes! See him wiggle
and wind! Clobber him good and 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. (II:120)

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 and families. (II:127)

Cloaking and hiding things is one of the devil's games. He gives people that urge to hide things from each other, and 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. (II:131)

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, and the masks of deception will be dropped, and you'll find out that it all was a carefully concocted trap!
It's time to go without his luxuries, "bribes" and goodies with which he tries to keep you at peace with him: "Look how
sweet I'm making your life! You're not going to fight me, are you?" - The same way a burglar would toss a watchdog some
meat that has been soaked in a substance to make him go to sleep, or even poison, to simply kill him! He knows no
scruples, and he won't hesitate to use even the meanest tricks in order to get an advantage over you!
There is no peace with the enemy. (II:133)

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 and 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. (II:145)

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. (II:146)

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 and 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).
The devil knows that dependence on Me is your only hope of survival, so he will try to get you to forsake the idea of having
to depend on Me. (II:148)

The devil's not going to fight you in an area where you feel comfortable fighting him. He wants to hit you where it hurts, in
your sensitive and weak and vulnerable areas. (II:150)

The devil is quick to contribute some of his input to your view of things in order to stop you from becoming the totally pure,
radical and revolutionary vessel for My truth and nothing but My truth that I would want each of you to be! And sometimes his
input comes from the most unexpected sources, so you've constantly got to be on guard!
If something hinders or stops you from having changes, if something ties you down to a certain rut and keeps you from
obeying My commandment to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, then you can almost always
assume that the enemy's behind it. (II:161)

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 and
kept it, and thus caused many problems and 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 and convert innocent villages, homes and entire countries into
one big "Pottersville."
181
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 and tries to divide and 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 and riches.
Once you start withholding, the enemy tries to get you to make a habit out of it. (II:164)

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 and 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 and show him up for what he really
is! He uses innocent little blunders of the mind, little neglects and 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 and 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, and don't give any place to the devil and his dirty lies trying to destroy your faith, your unity and your positive
outlook on life! (II:166)

Satan totally twists things and turns them upside down, inside out and makes things appear as the reverse and opposite of
what they really are! (II:171)

You must learn to recognize the devil's workings in your life! Just ignoring him won't do the trick! He's an enemy that's to
be taken very seriously, and ignoring him could be the biggest mistake you ever made! (II:172)

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 and 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! (II:180)

You don't have to grope around blindly in the dark, clueless to the machinations of the devil and 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 and schemes, in fact you shouldn't and must not! (II:181)

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 and 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! (II:186)

Don't let the devil trick you and cheat you out the joy of giving what you have been given! (II:193)

Don't listen to all the garbage the enemy tries to heap up in your minds to keep you from doing the job of winning the lost!
Whatever he tells you, whatever atrocity may befall you, it's irrelevant, compared to the rewards and glories and immense
eternal blessings you will reap if you ignore him and just keep doing it in spite of whatever he may say! (II:205)

Deception is one of the devil's big trips, and to be able to recognize his illusions is half the victory. (II:239)

The devil always thought he could do things better. Let him show just how much better he's going to do it! (II:255)

The devil draws your attention to those things which he wants you to see, the things which feed your ego, instead of those
which draw you away from it, make you humble and allow Me to increase in you, while you yourself decrease. (II:263)

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 and a deception of the enemy to keep you from being content with what you
have and 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.
(II:268)

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.
182
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! (II:273)

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 and not ignorant of his devices. (II:274)

Don't let the enemy distract you from the most important thing in life! (II:276)

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 and doors and 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. (II:279)

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. (II:286)

For many, worldly success has become a deadly distraction and a snare (1.Tim.6:10). (II:287)

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, and it's a little bit like having to start all over again
from scratch every morning. (II:293)

It's your choice whether you want to do what you can to help your brothers and sisters or whether you prefer to play the
devil's game and 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!" (II:294)

Chaos is what war pretty much amounts to, and that's what the devil is trying to create all along! Victory is to be able to
grab hold of My peace and 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 and beauty of what's going to be and what really is in the heavenly Realm, beyond all that ugliness the
devil's trying to create! (II:296)

The enemy fights and tries to prevent with all his might your efforts to stay in tune with Me and hooked up to My Spirit, so
he's sending an additional band of his pests to try and make sure you stay tied down to his mundane limbo, instead of
breaking through to My sunny side of life... (II:325)

Do you see the devil everywhere, or do you see Me in everything, even in something the devil brought about, or the devil
happens to use himself?
It's a greater weakness to see the devil in everything than trying to portray Me and My story, even if there are elements in
your portrayal that the devil uses, too!
The Scribes and the Pharisees even saw the devil in Me! They accused Me of being a devil, and so the modern Scribes and
Pharisees of the churches accuse those with greater freedom than what they have, of the same.
How miserable are those who see the devil in everything!
Don't see the devil in everything, much less in the sincere efforts of others to portray and convey Me and My message to
the world, but see Me in everything, even in the devil's efforts to try to wipe Me and My message out! Because I will cause
his wrath, and the wrath of those who seek to persecute Me by persecuting you, only to bring about My will and My plan!
Those who see the devil in everything are short-sighted! They need to look through all that's on the surface and see Me
there, My much greater plan and work, beyond any of the puny workings of the devil.
So, why see the devil in everything, or look for his influence in even the good things?
Don't see the devil in everything, see Me! (II:332)

In his blindness, the devil never sees how I use his efforts to destroy Me, silence Me and wipe out My message, for My own
good. (II:333)

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 and belittling and allowing the
Enemy to belittle what you've got! (II:338)

The enemy is very subtle, and 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
and advance My Cause and Kingdom. (II:356)
183
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. (II:360)

I'm exposing the greatest thief of all, the devil, who's constantly robbing people of their most precious gifts and
opportunities in the spiritual realm. (II:365)

The enemy will try to keep you from doing My highest and best, using all kinds of tricks and distractions and whatever he
can think of to keep you from doing the most important, the most urgent and necessary thing.
It's not difficult to disobey My voice, as you find out from the story of Adam and 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 and 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, and
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 and 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, and you'll still get by... You don't have to
necessarily obey Him in everything He says....!" (II:368)

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,"
and "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. (II:380)

One must distinguish carefully between the false light of Satan and My true light. It's easy to be deceived by the
"enlightenment" of the evil one. (II:392)

Ask Me to help you stay "on fire" for Me! Guard that flame, and 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. (II:400)

Some people have been made so paranoid by the devil that there isn't going to be enough room, space, food and water for
everyone on this planet, that they don't even grant the masses of poorer people in "underdeveloped" countries the bare
right and 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, and the epitome and consequence of lack of faith. (II:407)

A lot of people are allowing the devil to steal away from them many an opportunity for them to see and glorify Me in things
that they are afraid of and think are evil, and many an opportunity to use these things as a witness. (II:413)

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 and
ridiculed.
Fear is Satan's biggest weapon to control the masses. (II:446)

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 and 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 and 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. (II:447)

Some create their own little "form of godliness without the Power thereof."
They think they find Me in their own minds, instead of in My Word. Never would it occur to them to which lengths the devil
goes since thousands of years to deceive the children of men. They underestimate the importance of My Word, which I
have given as a standard to discern between right and wrong, true and false, truth and lie. Instead, they rely on their own
minds as powerful enough to be able to do so. (II:449)

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!

184
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 and 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
and cause you to fail! (II:450)

The devil's goal is to limit everyone. Subtly, he does so under a cloak and 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 and stretches the horizon beyond limits, but he always tries to put it back on and
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. (II:460)

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 and will to
fight the very fight of life. (II:469)

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. (II:476)

Sometimes, when things are looking okay, the devil sends his demons of compromise and settling for less than the best,
that principality specially in charge of Christians, and they make you think you're already at your destination, when you
barely even got going. (II:485)

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. (II:496)

The old serpent whispers thoughts of discontentment into people's minds and 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.
If you could see how important your future is, you could see why the devil attacks you all like crazy! (II:505)

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 and confidence. Like a bunch
of hyenas, circling their prey and driving it away from the herd. (II:506)

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, and blah, blah, blah."
(II:512)

"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 and 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" and 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. (II:517)

Without cleverly gaining people's co-operation, there wouldn't be much the enemy could do. (II:521)

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!

185
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
and obviously exaggerate, and 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 and potential sin.
The devil is waiting and watching, cunningly trying to manipulate things and trying to lead things up to some unguarded
moment...
Usually when you're low on physical and spiritual energies and tuckered out, exhausted and you feel like now you have a
right to let it all hang out, to just relax and 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 and rewards by listening to his "it's time to relax now," when it really
isn't!
Youll 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 and 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! (II:526)

Tell the devil, when he attacks through pride, "I know you're telling me right now I already know everything there is to
know, but I'd rather make double-sure and 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... (II:538)

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. (II:542)

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! (II:548)

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
and 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. (II:549)

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.
186
That's where you're going to have to decide whether you're going to believe him or Me. (II:566)

The enemy knows what tricks he needs to pull out in order to slow you down and 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 and 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 and 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! (II:568)

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. (II:571)

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! (II:581)

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. (II:592)

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 and 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 and variety of self-righteousness. (II:596)

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 and 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.
187
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. (II:600)

You can't just let the enemy have the world and 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. (II:601)

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). (II:602)

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. (II:603)

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
and 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! (II:609)

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. (II:612)

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. (II:628)

The enemy never fights you when youre strong and on top of things, because he knows he has no chance then. He only
fights you when youre down and weak, hes 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 kings kingdom, has
him killed, and the true kings son needs to wander off into the wilderness. (II:638)

The enemy always makes what youve already got look like nothing, compared to all the elusive things he would offer you,
ever since Adam and Eve in the Garden. They didnt know they were living under the most perfect circumstances possible
right there, they fell for Satans lie that there was something better than that, which I was withholding from them. (II:642)

What makes you think the devils got any control? He may exert some control over his, but in the end, Im the One Whos in
control of everything, and none of the plans and devices he concocts can harm you if I dont allow it, and I wont allow it, if
youre in tune with Me. (II:652)

Money is the one thing the enemy invented to direct peoples focus on in order to totally distract them from Me. Money has
been his most successful tool. (II:653)

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... (III:4)

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 and will divert you from the task
of living for others. (III:11)

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. (III:34)

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. (III:39)

188
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! (III:44)

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. (III:45)

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..." (III:46)

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. (III:54)

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. (III:58)

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! (III:61)

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. (III:67)

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. (III:68)

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. (III:74)

One of the enemy's principal jobs is to supply you with legitimate excuses for quitting!
The question is: will you accept and use that excuse? Or are you going to be wise enough to look through his scheme and
plot? (III:88)

Is it any wonder people should react negatively to Me when the enemy has been lying to them about Me, telling them that I
don't love them, won't accept them and reject them? (III:93)

The enemy tries to "remind" you that you're no one special at all, just another wicked human, like all the rest of them, just
so you won't make any runs to the "bank" and pick up something that you don't deserve in the first place.
But heaven and all its blessings are not earned on a merit basis. You either have the right and you are being granted
access to its riches or not, no matter what the enemy may do or say. In fact, the only chance he ever had is that you fall for
his bluffs and believe any of this stuff.
What Satan says or tries to make you believe is irrelevant. Like any treacherous enemy, he won't recognize your authority
just as you won't recognize his, since it is only an authority he falsely claims as a usurper. He may attempt to intimidate
you with his displays of authority and power, but you know none of it is real, and his days are numbered. (III:95)

You're going to be confronted more and more with people who are being used by the enemy to tempt you, to cause you
trouble, to annoy you and anger you.
The devil and his antichrist System will always accuse you, prosecute you and blame you, and you'll have to know why,
according to My view, they're wrong.
You must learn how to deal with the Accuser of the Saints and beat him with his own weapons by exposing his ulterior
motives and discern his and their twisted way of seeing and portraying things! (III:100)

The enemy sows enmity wherever he can: enmity between people, even hostility between brothers and sisters, enmity
189
between animals, and enmity between man and animals. If you follow the enemy and his way, you'll reap enmity. (III:103)

If I'm the air that you breathe, don't let the enemy rob you of it! Don't let him steal your oxygen! (III:112)

The devil often infiltrates My followers minds with his input, and consequently they wind up on his wavelength...
Often you underestimate the impact of his input and the extent to which his input is being spread and made available. One
strategy of countering the enemy's input more effectively would be to counter his doctrines and expose them, nullify what
he's saying by My truth.
In public schools he makes it imperative that children sit and listen to his drool until they don't mind hearing it anymore,
start tolerating it and perhaps even start liking some of it. But even if they don't, one of the worst side effects of it is that
he's killing any hunger for true knowledge in the effort, since they figure they're already learning more than enough.
The less you do to counter enemy-input in their life, and the more passive your attitude about the issue becomes, it's as if
you're allowing him to have the control over their life, and thus also a little bit over yours.
The essence of the devil's success in his brainwashing techniques of the masses is that he makes them think that what he
wants them to have is actually what they want.
Of course, the essence of My teachings to counter that would be to seek not their own will, but Mine in their life, which
would mean the voluntary sacrifice of some of the things they want for the sake of My will...
You're going to have to turn up the flow of My input and My Power in their life, if you successfully want to counter the flow
of the devil's input pouring into their life! (III:114)

The enemy will try to revive your ego, and make your own, carnal self strong, remind you that you can do it yourself, and
try to get you to rely on yourself and your own carnal strength as much as possible, just to avoid your letting go and
letting Me and My Spirit take over and take control.
To totally trust Me means gaining the victory over the fears and lies the enemy will plant in the heart and mind. (III:117)

The enemy is trying to slow you down and reduce your fruitfulness for Me.
Whereas, if you just stay close to Me, no matter what happens and is going on around you, My Spirit will just keep working
in you and through you, and there's nothing whatsoever he can do.
You've basically got to ignore all the shiny temptations that might cause you to give yourself the glory, instead of Me, and
other things he will try to use to divert you. (III:122)

You still have to learn to shut off the "emotional circumstances" that the devil often creates, and see past them, see
through them as illusions. They're spirits that are causing them. Spirits that make you feel unwell about something or
someone, but you have to realize they're often either lying or hindering spirits.
They're trying to get you to disobey Me, by creating illusions or fake obstacles in the path of doing what I've been asking
you to, so that you will use them as an excuse, a "legitimate reason" not to do them. You must find out how "legitimate"
those reasons really are. Are they real, or just mental fabrications by the enemy?
Whenever the enemy is trying to tell you why you shouldn't be expected to actually do something I told you to do, you can
safely assume that he's lying. After all, that's what he's best at.
It just about the only thing he's good at: faking things, concocting lies, creating illusions, deceiving people. He's truly the
great deceiver, and it is by his deceit that he destroys. In fact, by his deceit he gets people to destroy each other. He
doesn't do much of the dirty work himself. But he delights in watching all the wreckage and carnage he causes by his lies
and deceit. (III:125)

The devil is the champion of conformity and the opponent of variety, of the liberty and freedom to dare to be different.
He may pretend to champion the cause of "being different" when it comes to rebellion against God, but only in order to
lure everybody into his trap of endlessly boring monotony and similarity where everybody just does things his way,
believes what he dictates, and - believe Me, he's not nearly as innovative, nor as mindful of variety as the Father and I.
(III:129)

The devil is constantly trying to change My rules and make his own. He figures if he's god down there, then he might as
well change the rules, be the rule-breaker who wanted to be a rule-maker, and of course, he's making a terrible mess of it
all.
Simple obedience and submission will turn out to have been a much smarter and wiser way than all his smartness, and the
sum of all his wisdom which he's applying selfishly and in the wrong way.
You've got to counter the counterfeit "realness" of the devil with My actual and total Realness. (III:141)

The devil is at My command, and under yours as well, and it's not the other way around.
He's like some ferocious dog that barks and growls and acts up as if he were the boss, but just one word spoken in My
name and authority will shut him up and remind him of who's the Boss around here. He's only being tolerated for a season
and for a purpose. (III:156)

The "prince of the power of the air" (Eph.2:2) gives his power to his people.
I have given man the power to control the elements to some extent, and especially in this day and age, where Satan's
power and the control he exerts over the Earth comes to the full, you will find that his people are being given more and
more power.
Of course, that's a little hard for some to swallow. They figure, if the devil and his people are being given that much power,
190
then what chance do they stand against him or them, with the little faith they've got?
They will get surprises when they come into My Kingdom and will have to realize how things have really been.
It will show them that the reason they did not achieve all that much for Me in this life is the fact that they underestimated
the enemy. They simply could not imagine that he would go to such lengths to fool them, to trick them, deceive them, and
manipulate them. They figured, I was handling everything, so that they could just float along on the stream of life with an
attitude of "que ser, ser," when in reality, it would have been up to them to fight a whole lot harder, because the enemy
was a much more powerful threat to the Salvation of mankind than they were willing to see.
They didn't want to see the full scope of the danger the devil represented to mankind, because if they would have, it would
have also meant that it was expected of them to fight a lot harder than they actually did. (III:182)

Some people have got a vacuum that is as big as a black hole. Their addiction and greed for everything is all-consuming,
it's demonic, and it's no use trying to satisfy that sort of hunger.
It's like feeding a ferocious beast that ever cries for more and more, just like that gigantic cuckoo baby outgrowing its
parents, sitting in the nest and wreaking havoc.
They can tyrannize entire families and larger groups and communities, to whatever extent they can get away with. (III:191)

I want you to become like a river. Before, you were just trickling, but you're slowly starting to flow, and I want that flowing
to finally turn into rushing, and even raging. Of course, the enemy would like to stop or pollute your flow.
His first tactic will be spiritual pollution through temptation and compromise, and if he realizes he won't succeed with that
tactic, he will try to stop the flow by outside circumstances and persecution, or other difficulties.
You realize why the enemy has allowed some rivers to continue to flow and yield their Christian output to the world: it
must have been polluted. He figures, if he can manage to pollute it, then it won't do as much damage to his cause, because
folks are going to die sooner or later from the pollution and poison he managed to get in there. That's why it's of utter
importance that you stay clear of his pollution, and that you stay pure and clean.
The enemy advertises the self as an entity worthy of attention that quasi amounts to worship, in order to satisfy it and
make it "happy."
The devil just allows a tiny little bit of truth and mixes it with a lot of his own poison of selfishness, and his lie of the
version of the "greater cause." (III:194)

Whenever the enemy attacks, it's always a good time to come to Me and find out from Me what's happening; why is this
happening, and what's going on... There's usually a reason for it. The enemy is the hinderer, and that's what he will always
try to do. So, if you are presented with some hindrance, some obstacle to overcome, you need to be aware that there must
be a reason the enemy is trying to hinder you! (III:230)

It's no wonder you can't see clearly now, or that you don't feel at home in that world, nor too happy, because, basically,
what it amounts to right now, is a pile of garbage. The king of garbage and slop permeates the atmosphere and every
sphere and realm of the living, trying to convert it into the realm of the living dead.
The only thing you can pin your hopes and dreams on, is the future, a future in which all that sickening garbage of the
devil will finally disappear and life will at long last be what it ought to have been all along.
No way of ignoring the enemy's workings. No way of getting around having to deal with his devices and tricks he uses.
(III:237)

One of the greatest temptations of the children of men is to always want to have the afar-off, to want what they don't have,
to despise what they have been given, and instead only crave and focus on that which they have not. It's one of the devil's
favorite tactics to breed discontent. (III:251)

Distraction is the name of his game, in order to ensure your destruction. That's why you've got to remain vigilant and on
guard. (III:258)

I've had to let you experience the difference between walking the path of light, and thinking you're walking in it, all the
while following the voices and phantoms the enemy camouflages as Mine.
He has done so since the beginning of time, and it's only life's experiences which truly teach you to know the difference.
(III:262)

The devil won't fight those who show forth their own righteousness.
Since he advocates his own righteousness, he also encourages people to develop their own sense of righteousness, and,
of course, the message he's trying to spread, is that everybody is basically more righteous than God and His followers,
and he tries all he can to make Me and My followers look as bad as possible.
He certainly won't ever give you credit for anything truly righteous you did for My Cause. And he'll always inspire whoever
he can to be voices of his own criticism of you. If you refuse to listen to him, he'll find mouthpieces who'll voice audibly
what he's got to say to or about you. (III:265)

The grass always looks greener on the other side, especially to My sheep, for whom the enemy, the great Deceiver,
constantly puts up new magic acts, specially featuring and presenting the glamorous, glorious and oh-so-wonderful other
side, trying to minimize what it is that you've got over on your lawn, among your own flock... (III:267)

The enemy can really create some confusion at times. He has always been the author of confusion, and he knows his only
191
chance is to get your focus off of the light and blur your vision.
As long as you can see clearly who is the enemy, and who's your friend, and you stand united against him, he knows he
doesn't stand a chance. Only by bringing about this confusion where you can't tell who is friend or foe anymore, does he
gain a chance. (III:277)

If this outfit is really the one major threat to the devil and his kingdom, then he's going to do whatever is in his power to
dissuade you, to convince you otherwise, that they're not really worth it, that there must be something better somewhere,
making a serious effort to make this group look as stupid in your eyes as he possibly can in order to weaken your support,
your loyalty and determination and conviction to fight for this cause. (III:281)

One of the most effective tricks the enemy uses: "Wait until something better comes around!"
- Something better than what? - A better life? - Better circumstances?
Better circumstances won't come by themselves, you either have to create them or ask Me to do it for you. (III:287)

One of the devices of the enemy he has installed in habits and minds is to always be on the look-out for something else:
"What else do I need? What else should I acquire in order to attain happiness or satisfaction?" It renders people unable to
just enjoy whatever they're given, when they're always on the lookout for something else in this big supermarket of
consumerism, where you're constantly tempted to look around and spot new things you never even knew you wanted...
The devil's weapon to stop you from appreciating what you've got and putting your whole heart into it is creating an
endless array of new shiny things to keep you distracted. (III:288)

The enemy is trying to prove that the world doesn't need Me, nor you. He's trying to play Me, the great filler of every need,
of every hunger, and he is nearly triumphant now and saying, "See? Everybody's happy now! Who needs You now?"
But you need to look a little bit below the surface. It's true that in the pampered West they're glutted with everything one
may crave - physically or intellectually - occupying and distracting their minds, but not ever really satisfying their hearts.
You must look beyond the appearance the enemy is trying to create.
How much are you in tune with My reality, see through My eyes, and see and hear what I perceive, not the impression or
picture the enemy and the world portray? How much do you fall for their show?
When somebody wants to be friend of the world, they just have to experience what it means to become enemy of God,
siding with the enemy, and fighting against My Cause, for He that gathereth not with Me, scattereth abroad. (III:297)

Spiritual short-sightedness comes from the abuse of your spiritual eyes, focusing and glaring too much at the devil's
shiny distractions... (III:301)

The enemy is trying to create his own reality for his dupes, in which people like you are the "bad guys," and if you weren't
around, everything would be "nice and clean," a wonderfully working, happy System.
In My Reality it's the other way around: you are the good guys, because you're telling the truth and exposing the System
and its puppeteer behind the scenes, and how evil it really is.
It's the devil's type of "perfectionism:" "Ethnic cleansing" and racism has all been his own idea, because he would like to
create tons of little carbon copies of himself, very much like "Mr. Smith" in the 3 rd issue of "Matrix." Satan is a lot like "Mr.
Smith," in that he detests mankind, and if anything, wants to absorb and assimilate them into his system, and convert
them into his obedient slaves, totally yielded to him, without any will of their own. He may pretend to be the hero of the
"free thinkers," but in reality, he's not nearly as much into free choice as I am, as his "New World Order" will show, at the
latest when he will make the mark obligatory for anyone who wishes to survive...
He's really a dictator at heart, and all his "goodie-goodie" show that he's pulling off right now, of being a promoter of
democracy, etc., and "let the kids have some fun," is just that: pure show. As soon as they're all in the trap, he's going to
pull the plug, and the fun will be over, once and for all.
It's not going to be called the "Great Tribulation" for nothing: the fun will be over, period.
He's going to come up with what he's really good at - the only thing: creating hell on Earth.
He'll show his true face, eventually. (III:309)

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! (III:328)

In the Spirit the victory is already won. It is already done, and nothing the devil could ever do can change that...
If you realize that anything the devil and his ilk can do is only fuel for My flame, then you can focus more quickly on the
greater good behind it all.
This doesn't mean that there isn't a war to win and no enemy to fight. It just means you won't overestimate him and won't
be intimidated by him, because you'll know in the end, all he can really do is pester and annoy, but he can't really inflict
any real and lasting harm on My chosen ones, as much as he may try to prove that the opposite is true. (III:329)

The enemy is going to be instrumental in bringing about My plan, since the world won't be ready for My one-world religion
until the devil will have imposed his on them. They'll appreciate what I have to say, once they'll have known the kind of
spirituality or moral code the devil had to offer... (III:330)

Sometimes the devil uses some strain of success as a big distraction from keeping My people going in the direction I want
them to go.
192
Those who don't believe in Me, don't have the devil to fight against, and thus often have an easier time doing good than My
followers. The devil uses it to point his finger and say, "You see, those guys don't even believe in You, and yet accomplish
more good than those who follow You!"
He generally makes it easier to be good on people who don't officially believe in Me, and thus don't give Me the credit for it,
and instead he tries to see to it that My own folks besmirch My name and the name of My Cause as much as he can.
Without taking into consideration the existence of the enemy and all that he's up to, things really don't make any sense...
No wonder people get confused. It only becomes clear once you realize what he's up to and how he's scheming behind the
scenes, and what his purpose and goal is. (III:337)

One of the big lessons is the importance of little things, such as establishing a good, solid and loving relationship on the
smallest level, first of all. The enemy tries to distract you with "more important things" in order to get your focus off of the
greatest mystery of all, so close to Home. He's trying to get you to focus outwardly in a wrong way: some "out there"
distant glorious future of usefulness, glory and honor, when My way of focusing outwardly is something a lot more down
to earth: on a level of personal relationships.
Its all about communication, tuning in to each other, being considerate of each other, each other's needs, and being of a
helpful attitude toward each other. One of the greatest hindrances in this is the suspicion the enemy sows by making you
doubt others' motives and truthfulness. You've got to keep believing in your people. You've got to project something good
into them, instead of the doubts and negativity the enemy would cast over them in your mind's eye.
You're simply not prepared for the way the devil makes you suspicious and distrustful of each other, when you walk
through your day without My heavenly guidance and input.
It's 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 and just about everything. The devil likes to pull everything through the mud, because like this he can influence
you to the point where you lose your zest, your vision, your inspiration for life.
He's coming at you from so many angles simultaneously in this day and age that I have to make an extra effort to help you
be aware of his devices. 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.
He tries a different tactic with everyone: for those he's trying to lure away from deep, profound and spiritual things, he's
painting that picture of "everything's honky-dory" and "what are you guys all so panicky about?" While those who are
already aware that something's wrong and fishy, he tries to discourage with a hopeless outlook so that they won't feel like
it's any use to try to do anything about it in the first place...
I give you My positive input and incentive, and then it will be up to you whether you will allow the enemy to steal that
positive view, to get you to doubt it, or whether you manage to stick to it, cling to it, believe it, act on it and remember it.
(III:340)

The devil and his forces permeate this present reality and influence it according to their liking.
They go, "C'mon, let's have some fun and mess up God's creation and the beauty of things some more!"
When he'll pose as the great "solution giver" through the antichrist, he'll just tell'em to stop all the things he's been egging
them on to do all along thus far.
It's not that he would really care about the environment, much less the survival of mankind. He's just interested in lording
it out over creation for as long as he possibly can get away with it, but he knows his time will be short once he'll be down
here for his "grand moment."
He's an illusion artist, and he can put on a fairly convincing show. Are you going to fall for his deception? (III:344)

If you are My disciple and fight the devil, you need to be prepared for the enemy's attacks.
It's something that's simply bound to happen if you're fighting on My side, and that you ought to be prepared to deal with.
The Enemy will attack your kids, and try to attack you through your kids! You must reckon with it to happen, as unpleasant
as it is. But the more you're prepared for this type of situation, the more skilled you will become in handling them. (III:347)

If to love is My greatest commandment, then it's obvious that that's what the devil will fight the most from keeping you
doing. What he hates most and tries to stop the most is the love you have among each other and for others. He wants to
stop all the loving from going on, and that's been his goal from the very beginning, and as you can tell, he's been very
successful at it. He uses every sin available to keep you from loving. (III:368)

All that the devil can do with the stuff he shows man, is bring death. He's the bringer of death, I'm the Bringer of Life, and
we'll see in the final round, which is stronger. Once you've overcome death, what other obstacle could there possibly be?
All the devil's power is in death and the fear thereof, so, be of good cheer, I have overcome all that he can muster up! (III:371)

Its important that you believe that I have given you the power to overcome your weaknesses, and dont accept the mindset
of the enemy that youre helpless against them, and theres nothing you can do about them, so you might as well resign to
your fate and live with them for the rest of your life.
One of his doctrines to prevent the regeneration and rebirth of My Spirit from happening is, Change especially of
personality and character is not possible. If youre a certain way, thats the way youre going to be for the rest of your life,
so live with it!
One of the first tactics of the enemy to prevent Salvation from happening is to make people blind to their sin, and to the
fact that theyre slaves and captives of their sins and need liberation and Salvation from them.
The second tactic is to make those who do see their faults think that theyre absolutely powerless against them, and that
theres nothing anyone could ever do about them, but thats precisely where youre supposed to come in and show them
193
thats wrong.
The devil has many different tricks and devices in order to keep people from observing the most outstanding duty, many
ways of preventing them from seeing the need. Either he gets their focus on everybody elses sin (self-righteousness), or
he distracts them with physical matters, making them blind to spiritual issues (materialism), or he makes them hopelessly
resign to their fate (discouragement), all of which are distortions of the truth, which would make you free (See John 8). (III:429)

Do what you like is one of Satans slogans, because its one of the slogans and mottos of selfishness. (III:435)

Be aware of the devils devices through pride, and the damage he can cause pretty quickly, if you dont stay on guard!
(III:440)

The enemy isnt just going to peacefully stand by and look on as I make a super weapon out of you, aimed and destined for
his destruction.
Hes going to come up with his best magic in order to stop you from becoming what you ought. (III:446)

Satan likes to enslave everyone, and he furiously hates people who refuse to be loyal and obedient slaves of the Matrix.
This is why he comes up with all kinds of cunning tricks to come up with new little matrixes for those who have found a
way of operating outside his mainframe and the big Matrix. So, remember that I have called and ordained you to be free. I
have come to set you free, so, dont be surprised if thats what you actually are, and dont let the enemy put you under any
condemnation about it. (III:448)

What the devil is trying to stop the most from happening, is love, because that is the proof that Im still around, its the
trademark of My existence. And as you know from the Scriptures, one of the signs of the time of the End in which youre
living is that because iniquity (or unbelief) shall abound, the love of many will wax cold.
Hes trying to kill the love, not only in the world, but also in My people around the world.
He manipulates people subtly and cleverly into operating out of selfish interests, and so selfishness, sometimes subtly
disguised, is often the true incentive that motivates people. (III:454)

You have to discern the effort the devil and his folks are making to get people to doubt Me, My existence and authorship of
the universe. Up Here, theres no doubt about how it all happened. But down there you live in a sea of doubts, and you are
little islands and bastions of faith in that sea; islands that are growing with every bit of knowledge you discover that
solidifies into another piece of land when one more paradigm of doubt has been replaced by another fact of faith
Of course, all this is heresy and narrow-mindedness to the legions of darkness surrounding you. But whether you will
allow that to influence you, or whether you will decide to let your light continue to shine all the brighter, that is up to each
individual. (III:468)

Its hard to see the reality behind this farce, that in spite of its phony youthful appearance, this world is really rotting and
dying, and almost decaying. Theres nothing fresh about it. They have allowed sin to enter, and the wages of sin is death, a
death that is now rapidly creeping all over the world. They may not notice it while the music keeps playing and the laughter
drags on, and their fancy dances, but its all just a farce the devil keeps going, under the motto the show must go on,
only to hide whats truly happening beneath the surface: theyre getting ready for the total enslavement of mankind.
Sorry if the real thing isnt all that nice and shiny as the plastic fakes the enemy creates with his illusions, but it has one
advantage over his fakes: its real, very much unlike those seemingly perfect imitations the devil creates.
Just as My Realm and Kingdom is the spiritual one, so the enemys kingdom will become more and more the realm of the
flesh, the physical realm, where soon the game will be played entirely by his rules, under his rule and actual, physical
leadership, with the sole exception of those who will not have been deceived by his scheme, but see through it and can
see it coming and happening right now. Its coming into being, the devils kingdom of darkness on earth, the creeping
death thats inevitably taking ahold of them and their world. (III:480)

Correction and taking it used to be one of the most natural things in the world, but the enemy has boosted peoples egos
to such levels that taking correction has become something more and more difficult for them, especially in Western
societies where the devil has been undermining family values for decades. (III:493)

Pride and self-righteousness are responsible for an incredible amount of evil in this world, because it makes people march
off to war innocently in their firm belief that theyre doing a right thing for a right cause
Youre going to have to do some exposure work, find out whats behind it, and whats causing the deception What are
the lies the devil is telling them that get them to believe that theyre blameless? What are the fears the enemy uses in order
to get them to refuse to face and confront their own mistakes or even the existence of such? (III:504)

There is nothing wrong with the way you were made.

It just takes a little while to discern between what are genuinely your natural inclinations, and that which becomes the
exaggerated, sinful version of a natural desire that the enemy tries to promote in order to make you feel guilty about it
afterwards, just as it takes time, experience, and skill to learn to discern between what is truth and lies in the world
It takes time to learn to expose the workings of the devil in your life, and the way he operates, but once you do, things
become clearer, and it becomes more obvious to you what is okay and what isnt. And in the meantime, making mistakes is
whats going to help you find out all the quicker. (III:510)

194
The enemy is like a sneaky lawyer. He knows all the rules and clauses in the law, and he tries to get away with whatever he
can, so youve got to put your foot down and make clear that you know what your rights are, know My Word, and the
clauses of My contract with you, My Promises. You know what you have the right to ask for and to expect, and you wont
let the devil cheat you out of it. (III:527)

The gospel of the flesh is a term that adequately describes Satans Manifesto. Come, let us show the Almighty just how
strong we are, and see whether we cannot cast Him off His throne
He despises the path of the weakling that I seemingly chose. He wants to reign, he wants to win. He wants to be the all-
time-winner, but cannot see in his blind rage that he is doomed to become the greatest loser of all times. (III:531)

The enemy makes sure that what people really need is being withheld from them and then makes them look for and find
the counterfeit versions of love and the attention they seek, in the System. (III:532)

The devil and his people are best at the art of creating lies and making them seem so real that the majority of people will
accept them as facts. (III:542)

Its part of the curse of the devils promise: Ye shall be as gods. That god-hood definitely has its disadvantages,
especially when youre trying your best to serve the true God and that little pseudo-god ego keeps piping up, Hey, but
what about me?
The enemy is trying to spread his poisonous gospel of acquisition everywhere, trying to pollute and corrupt peoples
minds everywhere with his more, more doctrine of greed, materialism and hedonism. (III:544)

The devil likes to build all sorts of mythologies around himself. Hes the big pretender, and hell pretend to be anything just
in order to deceive and appeal to anyone, similar to the way presidential candidates make promises to certain groups of
interest, howbeit not with any serious intentions of ever keeping them.
The one thing you can always trust the devil for is that hes a liar and a pretender. He simply doesnt have a knack for the
truth, even though he may go around exposing Me and My people for our sins, all the while busily covering his own
filthy tracks. He is also the epitome of self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Woe unto those who have him for their god.
I want you to preach the Gospel and tell people about Me in order to free them from their servitude, slavery and bond-ship
to this false, evil god and usurper.
If you follow his philosophy, youre sunk, and instead of Heaven, youll reap hell. (III:550)

Man-pleasing is a very popular religion among young people.

The devil figured that some folks just cant be fooled into worshiping things, so what is the next-best thing, right after Me,
even created in My image, that he could get them to worship? People. So, hes got hordes of folks bending over backwards
trying to make it right for their peers, worshiping their opinions, their approval, and their reaction to them.
Man-pleasing is a very popular religion among young people. (III:552)

The devil will always try to get his platform and his moment in the spotlight, and sometimes he can get quite bold and
dominate the scenery, but youve got to trust Me that even those situations are for your good. (III:558)

The devil chose this time of technological advances to make his big appearance and reveal himself to the world, a time
during which man is showing the ultimate of his strength, wit, achievements and knowledge.
It makes Me and My life seem more irrelevant, more distant, more humble and smaller, less impressive to those who are
carnal minded, compared to all the great achievements of man and the supposed progress he has made scientifically,
socially and in the ways hes making his presence on the planet seen.
Man has become somebody, and its in that kind of environment that the enemy would like to present himself as the
greatest somebody of all. He wouldnt have been satisfied with being a relative nobody like Me, preaching to and
caring for a bunch of primitive people, comparatively speaking. He likes the kind of pompous ado that you and I never had
a knack for.
Loud and proud is the name of his game. He comes across loud and proud, making an awful noise thats sure to catch
everybodys attention and will distract them from My still voice, but he will also subtly orchestrate some movement behind
your back to eliminate you if you threaten to stand in his way. Thats why your only hope is to stay close to Me, always
attentive for My checks, My nudges, My hints and My counsel, because only I can let you in on what hes up to in your life.
You could never figure it out yourself.
Hes trying to discourage you and get you to quit and give up through the battles he brings on in your life. Theyre real
attacks, and not just staged tests to keep you humble or desperate. I allow them, but its not as if I orchestrate them. I am
not the One Who leads you into temptation. Im the One Who leads you through it when it hits you, and helps you come out
alright at the other end. Youve got to be sure that Im the One Whos on your side.
The enemy is telling you that I couldnt possibly love you if Im allowing what he does to you, but it just shows the atrocity
of his attitude: You see, God couldnt love you, if He allows me to be so mean and cruel to you and make you go through
all these trials In other words, hes saying, If God were prefect, He wouldnt have made me like this. But as I told you
before, you become the way you are by means of your own choices.
When you are going through an attack, dont blame Me for it. Its not exactly like by allowing it to happen I make it happen.
You have an enemy, and hes very real, and hes not kidding, hes really out to stop or destroy you. And while I do have the
power to stop him when he goes too far, and I can say, Stop! This far and no further, it doesnt mean that his attack was
My idea to begin with.
195
He happens to be the culprit because he happens to have chosen that role, but I didnt make him do it.
Just because Im all-powerful doesnt mean that Im doing it all! I leave a lot up to you and to the other participants in the
story.
Often the devil projects his own personality on Me and makes people think that the way he is, thats the way I am, but you
who know Me, must realize that thats not true. Im quite different from him, in fact, the opposite! (III:567)

The devil is fighting viciously to stop you from what youre doing. (III:569)

The devil is always partly right about his accusations. Otherwise nobody would ever believe him. He always uses some
half-truth as a hook or bait. The question is, are you going to take that half-truth and swallow it, along with the lies that
follow?
Usually, people do. And the result is the end of a happy, peaceful period in paradise. The devil just cant stand to see
people especially My people living together in peace and harmony, so he constantly cooks up new devices and means of
destroying that harmony. (III:581)

The enemy wont stop trying to get you to replace your need for Me with the need for something else, some substitute hes
trying to get you dependent on and addicted to, whatever you will allow him to use to crowd Me out of your life. (III:587)

The spirit of antichrist is the spirit that promotes self against God. Its the devils gospel of Ye shall be as gods, ye, and
no one else! He certainly doesnt like the Father to be God, and so he promotes self and ego, tempting mankind to be
their own god, all the while scheming from behind the scenes to ultimately enslave them and lord it out over them as their
one and only god. Proving that it was he and he alone, whom he had intended to be god all along (III:593)

Its your life-style that the enemy hates and fights so vigorously and thus sends monkey-wrenches into your midst, often
in form of the worldly interests of your children, or by your own desire for a more comfortable life. He tries all he can to
destroy your testimony and tries to stop you from being who you really are.
If the devil, the father of lies, is the god of this world, then what do you imagine permeates the world, and what sort of
philosophies run and govern the world? Lies Lies are the foundation of the System, and truth acts like a destructive
ingredient when confronted with that kind of pie-in-the-sky matter. (III:599)

It just so happens to be the nature of the enemy that he likes to lie, and when hes running out of other things to lie about,
and when he sees that he doesnt get any further with his lies about Me, then he resorts to lying to you about each other.
When he sees he doesnt have a chance anymore to destroy or weaken your faith in Me, then he intends to destroy your
faith in each other.
And in the same manner that he used to lie to you about Me, that I dont love you because youre not good enough, etc., he
then starts making up lies about your brethren, or your mate or your children, etc., that will alter your perception of them,
just as his other lies used to tend to alter your perception of Me, or yourself, or of life altogether. (IV:4)

You dont have to take and accept everything the devil hands you. Sometimes youve got to say, No, thank you!
He pretends to be your friend in order to weaken you, so that when the showdown comes and he shows his true face, you
wont have what it takes to resist, overcome, lick and beat him. (IV:18)

You must forego the negative, distracting input from the enemy in order to stay empty and hungry for Mine. Ye cannot
drink of the Lords cup and the devils.
One of the devils old tricks is to pose as some older, wiser brother who says that its okay to enjoy the forbidden fruit; its
okay to enjoy that worldly entertainment, its okay to go easy on yourself
The problem is that the devices he offers seldom, if ever render true happiness. They only yield a temporary relief from
thinking. (IV:22)

Whatever has befallen you, you can always safely assume that somebody else somewhere at some time must have had it
worse than you, and that youre quite blessed.
The enemy tries to amplify the pain and darken the picture by whispering in your ear, as if he was your friend and
sympathizing with you, when hes responsible for the mess and the situation in the first place. Hes the real culprit and
traitor, and if anything, it should strengthen your resolve against him, and your determination to fight him to the death.
Hes the author of the lies that cause the confusion, the misunderstandings, misconceptions and suspicions that cause all
the hurt and alienation, so hes the one you should direct your anger against, and whom you should fight accordingly.
Youve got to see the spiritual cause behind what happened, and see what his goals are. He wants to make you feel like
giving up and like surrendering to your fate, and as if the others were your enemies!
Hes trying to discourage you from reaching out to communicate because he knows that would be the end of his scheme.
Communication is a killer of Satans schemes, thats why he tries to fight communication between you, and also with Me,
tooth and nail. Communication is his dilemma, his nemesis. He cant stand it, because it is bound to expose his scheme
sooner or later and reveal just how ridiculous all those lies and suspicions were that he was trying to sow in your minds
about each other. (IV:24)

The enemy fights your becoming the kind of samples youre supposed to be, and tries to use those around you as a
distraction to pull you away from Me and get your focus off of Me. (IV:31)

196
Not every battle My fighters ever fight is won. Not if theyre not aware of the enemys devices, if theyre foolish enough to
ignore him or in their pride refuse to see him at work in their own lives (IV:36)

The enemy will try to usurp any area of your life that youll allow him, and he knows exactly in which particular areas hes
most likely to have success.
Youre up against a cunning enemy. (IV:39)

The realization of just how sad and sick Satans promise of Ye shall be as gods really was, along with all its consequences, is
the first step on the path toward true godliness. (IV:58)

You feel overwhelmed by the apparent superiority of the enemys presence everywhere in this world. But thats where faith comes
in that still sees Me in everything to an even greater extent than the enemys power.
Politically, morally and culturally speaking, it can be said that hes got the whole world in his hands. But only those with great
faith can see the extent to which he has taken over this world, but still know that in reality it is I Who have got the whole world in
My hands, and only allow him to pull off his little game of playing god of the world for a little while, along with all his little
gods who follow him and his lets all be gods scheme.
He may still feel all-powerful as long as hes in My Realm, the Spirit Realm, but once hell be confined to the limitations of the
physical world, the magics going to wear off real fast, and hes not going to make half as graceful a picture as god of this world
as he and his followers may imagine him to be right now
Hes going to turn out to be just as much subject to sin as every other slave to their own lusts and evil in their hearts since the
beginning of time. The evil he actually introduced into the world at the beginning will turn out to be his own demise and Achilles
heel, as it will turn on him and cause him to make the mistakes that will cost him the ruler-ship over this world. (IV:65)

But since most people deny the devils existence, and the fact that he is the present ruler of this world, theyre also perfectly
unaware of the extent to which theyre being lied to. (IV:81)

The devil is really giving it his all in this day and age, and the Early Church didnt have a fraction of all that to deal with that My
children are having to deal with today. (IV:85)

The enemy will do all he can to divert you and distract you from what I want from you, from tuning in to My voice, or
yielding your will to Mine. He will fill your head with own ideas of what would be a good thing to do, usually the thing one
grade below the best you could do for Me.
The best and My highest will for you is a small and narrow pathway strewn with many temptations and detours that may
look a lot more inviting, but if you want to avoid running around in circles or beating the air, youve got to keep walking on
that small and narrow path, and not fall for the wide and comfy detours of the enemy. (IV:110)

The enemy is not interested at all in having man find out the whole truth about the universe, because it would
unmistakably point toward a Creator. He wants to keep everyone in the dark, so that he can come strutting in as the great
light-bringer and illuminator of mankind
He has already tried to establish that I couldnt have been it, since it wouldnt make much sense to the average person how
the Son of God should have lived such a humble, short life, and died such a humiliating death. Thats certainly not his idea
of divinity, and those who are just as short-sighted as he is, agree, and are getting ready for a taste of his act instead. Well,
time will tell which of the two makes more sense in the end. (IV:111)

While the knowledge of evil, the devils input, may nearly always contain some truth in it, its his diabolical, evil slant and
twist on it, and the wicked way in which He applies it to get you to doubt or mistrust Me, that makes it so dangerous.
The false information of the devil seeks to get man to place his trust in himself.
Their minds are polluted by his philosophy of trust no one but yourself and be your own god and master. Thats what
he did, and he figures it worked for him, and so hes advertising his trip. (IV:134)

The devil isnt fooling around, and his distractions, temptations and lures arent exactly harmless little diversions or
nuisances that can be humored and ignored. They can seriously slow you down and hinder your progress.
No matter what tricks the devil may pull, if you avail yourself of Me, My counsel, My Power, and My Presence, all that I have
put at your disposal, you cant lose. (IV:142)

When you feel rejected by people, and feel that they reject your message, you have to realize that its because of the devil
that they dont like what you have to say. He doesnt like what you have to say, and so he seeks to discourage you by
manipulating and conditioning people into rejecting your output. Of course, hes also doing it in order to stop them from
getting saved. He wants to make sure theyll stay his slaves (IV:152)

The head stuffing of the devil creates the illusion in peoples heads that theyre actually smart. Loads and loads of useless
information creating an illusion of a reality thats just a fake and a poor counterfeit of the Real Thing.
The problem is that as long as their knowledge gets them all they need for living and to be half-way content and
entertained, they wont develop any desire to learn whats really happening and going on. As long as theyre happy and
content with their fake version of reality, they wont start looking for the Real Thing.
Thats why trouble is good for people, and the smartest move the devil could come up with was to postpone the trouble
and prolong this current era of affluence and general contentment for as long as possible, in order to corrupt peoples
hearts and minds thoroughly.
197
The best camouflage for an old, rotten lie is youth. If the devil could get youth to adopt his gospel of selfishness, greed
and sheer egotism as the only existing truth, then nothing was going to be able to save the world anymore from his reign,
and thats just about what has happened.
Now theyre all enslaved by his evil dogma, and soon hes going to come up with the great solution for his own problem
that he caused, but as usual, will blame someone else for, and you know who his favorite scapegoat is
Only, since he is declaring that Im only a myth, hes going to make those the scapegoats who have the audacity to cling to
their belief in Me His scapegoat is going to be the church.
There were those who denied My existence and becoming flesh during the time of the Roman persecutions, but the great
apostasy or falling away will be that despite the fact that My existence as an actual living Person had been well
established for centuries, a resurge of that spirit of antichrist will occur, where people simply deny that I ever existed
altogether
The Jesus Myth is the devils great and final campaign to gather his forces against Mine. What better way to eliminate
your enemy than just reducing him to a fairy-tale?
He will try to destroy peoples faith in Me on such a large scale that only those who really know Me will not fall for his flood
of lies. (IV:171)

The devil will use anything and anybody to drive a wedge between us. Our relationship is the most precious thing youve
got, and you should guard it as your most precious treasure.
Thats what the enemy will try to attack and destroy, thats precisely his intention, and you should defend this treasure,
and not let him rob you of it.
You must never allow anything to come between us, because this is the very thing the devil will have intended by his
actions, and if you allow him to separate us, then he has scored a point and won that particular battle or campaign.
He tempts you to conclude that I must be upset with you or carry a grudge, when nothing could be further from the truth,
because I see and know his tactics, and that he is actually the culprit, and whatever blame you may have in it, I have
already washed it away and paid the price for with My blood.
All the devil can really do is create this deception, an illusion of a situation in which Im mad at you for something you have
done, when that isnt the way it works at all. Im not your average person that gets upset every time you stumble and fall,
especially when youve been caused to stumble by his schemes.
I know how he lies to you and builds his complicated, intricate schemes in order to deceive you, fool you and trick you,
and how he manipulates you into thinking that I am less than I really am, more like any common mortal that youve had to
deal with, and subject to their same rules of behavior.
Just like hes trying to fool the world into believing that I never existed as a real person, hes also trying to reduce Me to
close to nothing in the minds of believers. He may not be able to fool them and trick them into thinking that I never existed,
but he tries to strip and deprive Me of some of My divine qualities in your mind and reduce Me to something more human
and less divine, and thus much less capable of loving you unconditionally and eternally.
Once you know that thats what hes up to, you can be on guard against his attempts, and try to guard your knowledge of
the fact that Im not like that.
As with any and all lies of the devil, the choice is always yours whether you will believe them, but theyll always amount to
the same old thing they have always been: worthless lies. (IV:173)

The true and valid information of My Word brings insight and wisdom. The false, erroneous and in most cases simply
untrue information that the enemy has been pouring out through the System has the opposite effect: it dumbs people
down.
Its as if the thinking apparatus doesnt work properly anymore, because instead of being oiled and powered with My fuel
and input, it becomes cluttered and messed up with the poisonous counterfeit input of the enemy, which he cheaply
dishes out in great quantities, and by artificially generating mass hype and hysteria about it, people are actually duped into
thinking that its good, and the real thing, when it is just a lousy counterfeit, thats actually poison for your motor, your
entire being.
Like any tyrant, the devil wants dumb, obedient slaves, not thinkers he might have to defend his point against
He is working hard on making mindless zombies he can control, manipulate and steer via his devices of mass hypnotism.
(IV:176)

In the Spirit World We wont discriminate because of age, and nobody Here swallows any of the false dogma under which
most inhabitants of Earth live right now that youth is supposedly superior to maturity
It took the devil and his lot decades of constant brainwashing to get people to believe that, and since Our Realm is not
under his influence, We clearly see that as one of his schemes of indoctrination and manipulation. (IV:185)

The devil may temporarily be able to create the impression that Im not there, just as I was tempted on the cross to believe
that the Father had forsaken Me, but its never true. Just as the Father was always there, I will also always be there. (IV:189)

You see where many of the evils of society come from, and how its their dogmas of disbelief that bring many of their
curses upon them, and you see the enemy at work behind it, and thus are not ignorant of his devices and tactics, and
become a more skilled fighter against him than those who ignore and dont pay any attention to these things. (IV:197)

The whole world lies in darkness. All they have is a pretense of light, a false light, the artificial imitation of Lucifer, the
former and fallen light bearer, who all hes got left now is a semblance of the light he once bore, and with which he is now
deceiving mankind.
198
Hes not the true light, although he will pretend to be. Most people in this society accept him as the real thing, though,
because what hes got to offer seems to be so much more attractive than what I have to offer:
He offers prosperity and affluence and power in this world, in the here and now, while I call for abandon of these things.
His Gospel of pride sounds more attractive to most of them than My Gospel of Humility. The followers and disciples of the
Gospel of Humility will always be fewer in this world than those of the false gospel of pride (IV:206)

If the enemys trying to get you to focus on the hole in the donut once again, and at your lack and wants, and at whats not
there, look away from it and look at Me, at all that is there, and all I give, and all I am yet able and more than willing to give.
The enemy will try to use anything or anyone to drag you down and tear your focus away from Me. But I have supplied
means for you to bring your focus back on Me in spite of them.
His forces may be there, and theyre real and pounding on your door, trying to divert, distract and intimidate you, but I
represent a stronger force in your life that overcomes them. (IV:217)

Youve got to become more conscious of the fact that Im the One in charge, even if Im temporarily allowing the devil and
his ilk to pretend to be. (IV:218)

Through the first human choice to disobey, Satan has been granted the power to issue his own orders and initiate
processes on his own, which, of course counter My workings, and in actuality threaten to take over the matrix of creation
like a bad virus that can rapidly infect a whole computer system. (IV:227)

One of the devils tactics: to keep people too busy to look around at what ought to be changed. (IV:249)

I had intended for man to rule over creation, but by accepting the lies and deceptions of the devil, which first promised
them divinity on behalf of their own actions and merits, namely the evil action of disobedience to Me, they were tricked into
an existence that is becoming less divine all the time.
In the long run, people always turn out to be a lot less divine in general than they may have chosen to believe they are,
because the way to true godliness is not the devils road of self-aggrandizement and seeking worship and adoration from
others, but is only found on the exact opposite road of leading a life of a humble servant instead, seeking to give ones life
to others, instead of demanding from them to live their lives for them and in their service (IV:283)

The enemy certainly landed a genius master stroke with his camouflage of disguising some of the greatest perpetrators of
evil in the world as Christians, and as those supposedly faring under My flag.
Its the ultimate atrocity, what the Bible used to call an abomination, which will ultimately be instrumental in bringing about
the devils final abomination of Desolation. (IV:287)

The enemy works a lot in the range and domain of feelings. Feelings he artificially creates based on atmospheres,
mindsets and dogmas he spews out into the ether via his propaganda and mind control machinery, which I dont want you
to subject yourself to
Resist the devil and he will flee from you, Give no place to the devil, whom resist steadfast in the faith.
He wont necessarily show up personally, but has his legions do his dirty work for him, and nowadays, not only via his
demons, but also via his demonic output in the media that are bound to effect you.
Thats why its so important that you subject yourself to My input, and thus My mindset and way of seeing things to a
greater extent than you take in whatever comes from his sources
One of the devils favorite tricks is to tell you that things would be better if you had had a different lot than the one I
allowed for you to come to pass. (IV:288)

The devil always tries to give things a twist that makes them more complicated. There is a connection between your actual
physical needs and their excessive version, which becomes a sin: you do need food, and I have promised to provide that
for you, but he will try to turn it into gluttony. And so on. And whatever it is, you cannot allow your need to take the place of
utmost priority in your life, as something that is above Me. Thats exactly what the \enemy will try to do. (IV:294)

Youve got to trust in Me and the Father and Our superiority over the enemy.
Were just letting him be in control to a certain degree, or at least pretend he is. Ultimately it will turn out to have been
quite clear all along Who was really at the controls. (IV:300)

Being perfectly loving also means to be totally opposed to hatred, and this includes a certain determination against
incorrigibly hateful forces, such as those of Satan, which will have to be abolished before that universal peace on Earth
could ever take place.
Whats happening in this war is that the enemy is successfully bribing a lot of people who are supposedly fighting on My
side, but for gain are watering down the message to one that denies the reality of the war thats raging, a message of false
peace, just like that of the false prophets of old. (IV:301)

By choice, I have made it possible for man to have himself adopted by another father, and play by that foster parents
rule, and unfortunately, most have chosen the devil as their step father over My authority.
So, its not that I cast them out of My house, but by their loyalty to My enemy they have proven that they prefer to be called
his heirs, and thus, heirs of his kingdom they shall be, unless they choose to come back over to My camp any time.
And since people, by heritage of choice, are born into the jurisdiction of that usurped foster parenthood of the enemy, it
199
takes a deliberate and conscious choice to return to the jurisdiction of My rule and Law of Love, before anyone can really
take full advantage again of the Fathers parenthood, and the benefits of being His child and heir
While Adam and Eves original choice may have bought you the devil for your new parent, My blood buys you back into
the Fathers House, if thats what you want (IV:304)

The devil could in many ways be called the god of the flesh, while I and the Father would rather advocate the way of the
Spirit.
After all, the Spirit is where all things physical come from, its the original Realm. Satan knows that in the Spirit Realm he
will never be no.1 and so he puts his cards and all hes got on this physical world
He cant make it big in his Home World, where I rule, on behalf of the Father, and so, like some of those ex-patriots who
dont have what it takes to become a star or big shot in their own country, but might stand a greater chance of becoming
famous somewhere else, hes putting on his big act and playing god on earth
Some consciously worship him as such, whereas the majority follows him and his ways unawares
If you look into the mysteries of the workings of the enemy, dont expect to find too much, because most of what you will
find will be based less on actual fact than on his vivid imagination and that of his followers, because, after all, his main
incentive and goal is, at it has always been, to deceive, since there isnt really much else that he is truly capable of.
He is great at creating illusions that may come across as deceivingly real, so real, in fact, that those who fall for them will
not only die, but also kill for that fake reality. Probably the greatest shock for the vast majority of mankind, when theyll
stand before the Fathers Throne, will be the revelation that much of what they based their lives on and mistook for reality,
was nothing but a cleverly concocted deception by the enemy of their souls. (IV:305)

I have not left you unaware and ignorant of the devils devices, so you know what hes up to, and how he can even use
those closest to you to try to inflict harm on you or weaken you or tempt you to give in, when they dont stay 100% on My
wavelength. (IV:313)

Whenever I start a good clean thing on Earth, it wont take long until the devil will try to sneak in and pervert and defile it
somehow. (IV:320)

The devil is truly a treacherous enemy who can lie in wait and ambush for years and years before he strikes. In some ways
as far as youre concerned and the things he can do to you, its true: time is on his side, and its working in his favor and
playing the world including its billions of souls - closer and closer into his hands by the hour. And he also has his
sleepers; those who pretend to be fighting for My side but become activated at a certain signal to show their true colors,
and on whose side they really serve
Unfortunately, its true: among the greatest failures throughout history have been many of My believers, many of those
who really ought to have known better. But because they were a threat to Satans kingdom, he was on their heels, and it
was them he was after, not those he already had in his bag (IV:323)

The best deceivers are those who are duped by the devil themselves first, because they believe in their cause and their
pure motivations. Thats one important reason why My Word cautions My followers not to be ignorant of the devils
devices, not to ignore them, but to take heed and learn to recognize and discern them when and where theyre at work.
(IV:339)

It was the devils aim to create the System in such a way that it would utterly spoil its captives, which he found to be the
fastest and easiest way to subvert them, more effective than downright slavery, and you simply havent been spared from
the effects of his plan, just as many others of My followers and brides also havent. (IV:345)

The devil is trying to get you to freak out about how bad and sinful you are. In reality, its only a shock because hes been
trying to hide the awful truth from you.
His favorite trick is to make people think theyre holier and better than they really are, and only when he realizes he doesnt
stand a chance with that tactic does he change over to the condemnation tactic. Of course, he also cleverly waits for the
best moment to change tactics, and knows when it will potentially hurt the most.
He will first try to hide your flaws from you for as long as possible and will then try to shock you with their revelation to the
extent where you will feel frustrated and discouraged or even condemned about it. Of course, hell also try to get you to
condemn others, but you see how that backfires. Whatever you try to accuse someone else of, you usually find youre just
as guilty of yourself in perhaps some slightly other aspect, but nevertheless.
So, its all not as bad as the enemy may temporarily try or even be able to make it seem, because no matter how bad the
situation or problem, I have the solution, and I will settle and solve it in the long run, even if it may take some time and
endurance on your part. (IV:346)

The devil has a greater and vaster and more universal grip over mankind than hes had at any other point in history, one
that pretty much extends to just about every human soul on the planet.
A lot of his power by which he enslaves people is by creating illusions, and awaking from these illusions is what I would
consider one significant step toward true freedom, and thus, the experience of having your illusions shattered, including
the illusions of false, temporary freedom you thought you had, are really another step toward that goal.
Some folks pretend to be so free by outward manifestations of their life-style or appearance, but are still terribly bound by
pride and a great deal of self-deception. (IV:353)

200
Dont you think the devil wants to find out just as he did with Job just how real all your display of faith and conviction
really was? And dont you think that Ive had to give him the same permission to strike as I gave him with Job, in order for
all of us to find out where youre truly at?
I guess you can see for yourself that you werent anywhere near as good in shape spiritually as you thought you were, but
thats basically what Job found out, too, and that he had to rely on My grace only
The devil keeps trying to feed you his input that this and that and the other is much more important than what you do, and
he keeps harping on how insignificant you are. But dont let him fool you!
You simply may not accept the devils lens of a viewpoint of insignificance.
The devil is trying to give everything his slant of insignificance, he tries to downplay everything and diminish it, just like
the kind of friends always do, that nobody needs. But in the light of the fact that everything and everyone is significant,
dont let him fool you, and dont let him reduce you to his game of nothingness.
If I made everything of nothing, he tries to reverse it and make nothing out of everything. He tries to reduce it all to nothing
in peoples minds. He gets them to look at creation the everything I made from nothing and say, Its all nothing! It all
came from nothing and came about by itself and bears absolutely no significance. So, beware of his and the worlds
mindset of insignificance.
Listen not to the hisses of the serpent on your left and on your right, even if some of his wicked forecasts and prophecies
were fulfilled. Of course, he can tell some of the future, he is smart and with the wisdom of the ages.
His people may have their gifts and powers, but they were never equal to Mine. Remember that you have the greater power
on your side, that of the Creator of the universe, and not that of the usurper who pretends to be something hes not. Woe
and shame on all those that rely on his power and wisdom. Blessed are only those who fully and wholeheartedly rely on
Mine. (IV:387)

There is always an old and a new way to do it, and usually Im the Promoter of the new, that which is truly new, and not the
pseudo innovations of the enemy, which are usually just the same old selfish attitudes in a new dress. (IV:399)

Thats one of the enemys secret weapons in making people feel miserable: he screws their expectations up to
unrealistically high levels which they cant really attain, so that they will permanently stay discontented because they
never really get what they think they want and should have, and perhaps even deserve.
This was Satans strategy ever since the beginning, to cause man to be discontent with what he had by his advertisement
campaigns of whatever he thought they were still missing out on, even if they were already living under the most perfect
conditions possible
So, dont let expulsion from the Garden become your fate again by being discontent with what you have and letting the
devil trick you into thinking theres something else you need.
Hes a deadly enemy. But as deadly as he may be, all the more alive am I as your Friend and Ally. (IV:413)

I use the enemy and his maneuvers in your life in order to break you, humble you and get you to a certain point.
I know it may seem weird to you, and as if Im sort of cooperating with the enemy, or standing by as he causes you pain,
but you know that hes really only working for Me in the long run and bringing about My ultimate will, and that of the
Father
You also know that I will use anything in order to get My purpose accomplished, even the devils attacks and workings in
your life sometimes. (IV:417)

Its the devils business, as it has always been, to cast doubt on what I said, and to make it look like its not true, and, of
course, according to him, Im a liar, and hes Mr. Truthful. Well, I beg to differ, since I know him a bit better. He may be the
type of liar that is so good at it that he even believes his own lies, but it nevertheless doesnt change anything about the
quality and veracity of his statements, namely their status of mainly being false, untrue, and thus, lies, no matter how
strongly anyone believes them. (IV:421)

Because the rich dont have the devil to fight against (since theyre basically, even if largely ignorantly, fighting on his
side), they also dont have to overcome some of the obstacles he puts in your way. They dont have to fight the demons
you fight, because they are basically the gods they follow and worship. They dont oppose them, but serve them, so the
demons make it easier for them in many cases.
They think that what they rely on is their own strength and power, but often it is also downright demonic power that helps
them to thrive in the ways of the world
What the devil will do in addition to opposing you is try to tempt you to forsake My way and follow him instead and join the
rest of the world in the apparently easier way. (IV:422)

The enemy likes to make a mess of things, but I in turn delight in restoring order from the mess he made.
he devil shall not cause Me any loss, but only gain of superior quality in the end. (IV:451)

Just as you know worldly thieves would like to take off with some of the things you possess, so the enemy would like to
snatch your most precious spiritual treasures. (IV:455)

Watch out for any attempts of the enemy to attack through sensitivity, which is one of his favorite weapons right now in
emotionally charged situations! (IV:474)

The devil and his people arent the only ones who have been working over generations, and for whom immediate success
201
isnt always relevant. Theyre only imitating Me and My ways, so you can bet that they copied this, too, from My style and
modus operandi, and for a good reason.
All the supposedly deep hidden secrets and mysteries that are to be gleaned from magic and the occult are really only
revelations because theyre adaptations of My truths and principles.
Thats why magic or anything the enemy can muster up is nothing to be afraid of: Its only the power and wisdom they
have stolen and copied from Me in the first place. (IV:477)

I am capable of rising to the occasion. I can do the subject justice. Ive got what it takes. Enough of all this boasting you
can hear the devil shout from some remote corner within your hearing range, but no matter how loudly he protests, he
cant change anything about it.
Hes nothing to be afraid of. - Talking about a loser.
Hes trying to get you to think that thats what you are, when hes really the epitome of one. He just refuses to believe it.
But it will become evident for all to see, and inevitably so.
And those over whom he now would like to cast a loser label will turn out to be the victors over him.
Thats why no matter how long and painful this seeming defeat may go on, you must remember that its really only
temporary, and every moment of it will only increase the joys and ecstasies you will experience upon your victory. (IV:501)

The devil has pulled out his best guns, and in that matrix of his, hes god, and can come across as quite intimidating. But
how great is his power outside of his little plastic matrix? How great is it Outside, in My Real World, the One youre a part
and a citizen of? (IV:502)

The devil has always been busy trying to get people focused on all theres more of to have in this world, that other folks
might have, and thats his big diversion tactic
All his good and loving, reasonable voices will stand on the shore beckoning you to come back and tie up in port
where its safe, where youd be doing what everybody else is doing, and how could you be so insane and irresponsible to
try something else, something so different and unorthodox And it will require some serious resolve and determination
to refuse to listen to them, not because youre stubborn or independent, but because you know whats right simply
because Ive told you so. (IV:516)

The devils main tactic throughout the centuries and millennia has been to find ways and tricks to turn peoples focus away
from Me and to get them to focus on either the circumstances or on themselves as the only solution and means to alter
them, and even blame Me for the unpleasant circumstances, in order to create enmity between Me and them
As you can tell, he manages successfully.
So, all I can do is stand here and beckon and warn you: Dont fall for it! (IV:528)

As long as you have tribulations in this world, you know that the devils on your heels, and thus he must be mad at you for
some reason, which shows that youre definitely on My side. If you never had any troubles, that should give you cause to
wonder whether youre still on My track.
Hell always try to condemn you for wanting to have a little bit of heaven on earth already; always try to give you a hard
time for rejecting his version of happiness and heaven, trying to prove to you that you made the wrong choice in
trusting Me for it
He hates you, he can do no other; but I love you, and can do no other, and will prove that My Love is stronger than his
hatred. (IV:533)

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

Discernment

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24

Youre learning to discern My voice from the enemys.

Its a constant choosing the good and eschewing the evil. Watch out whom youre allowing to speak through you. (I:237)

One of the greatest lessons in life is to detect whether something is for real. You have to learn to detect the lie, the deceit.
The goal is to train your gift of discernment to the point where you can almost see it or touch it. Sometimes you can smell
it, that its there somethings wrong, but you cant put your finger on it until you touch it or have exposed it and it
becomes plainly visible.
Your aim is to expose the true, hidden motives. Youve got to strip off the cloaks and pretenses layer by layer and uncover
either the ugly truth underneath, or beautiful, naked sincerity and trueness of heart. (I:275)

Learning to aim straight and even to discern and recognize your true enemy takes time and skill and experience, with all
the tactics of deceit and camouflage he applies. (I:473)

Drinking weakens ones resistance and discernment between what influences are really good and bad. (II:109)

It's hard to be fighting at two fronts, but that's another battle ground reality you're going to have to become trained in,
since the Endtime won't be any smoother in this aspect, but only rougher, having to fight outside enemies along with those
who will cleave to you with flatteries, as My Word says (Dan.11:33, 34). It takes discernment, a desirable gift in this day and
age you should seek and ask for! (II:110)

One thing is putting people in boxes, labeling them and being unwilling to expect them to change. Another thing is, having
the faith that they're going to change and give them a piece of advice that has turned out to be helpful in your own life and
shown you where some of your own pitfalls were, as a tool and aid to help them make that change.
Sometimes you have to discern what message exactly it is that someone needs, and in order to do that, you have to spend
time with them, talking to them, hearing them out, finding out what they're receptive for and what not.
For one karat of diamond, you have to shift one ton of sand! It takes a while of digging and searching until you find a
diamond in all that sand, someone worthwhile who is hungry for the truth and will receive it. But you have to do that
digging, shifting and searching, otherwise you'll never find out!
You have to hear them out, check them out, talk to them and have a thorough look at them and not be too quick to discard
them! (II:117)

I want you to mature and grow beyond any need or desire for a superficial show... to detect what is real and what is not. I
want you to have discernment, so that you won't fall too easily for anything that shines and glitters and promises a lot on
the surface, but will turn out to be just another fake and disappointment.
I want you to look at that which is not shiny on the surface, that which requires faith to believe in and to invest in, even that
which others might not have faith for in the natural. (II:129)

What we're having to establish first of all is the proper foundation of My facts, none of the enemy's counterfeits, and in
order to do that, you first have to learn to distinguish between the two, and to discern what are My unshakable facts, and
what are the fakes that the devil would like to present as facts. (II:169)

It's a myriad of little, seemingly insignificant choices you're having to make each day, as to who you're going to listen to,
whom are you going to follow, My voice and the whispers of wisdom, or the devil's roaring cheers, laughter and enticing
songs?
Keep your focus on the spiritual! Make the right choices! Distinguish between the devil's lures and My whispers, and
between the way the world sees things and My way! Discern the spirits! Seek wisdom! (II:173)

I want you to stick to what's clean and wholesome and not drag in dirt and pollution from the world into your life and into
your midst, this temple of your Home, which I want to set apart and consecrate for Me.
I want you to shut your doors to the temptations and perversions of the enemy and discern hard between what is of Me
and what is of him, for you cannot drink of My cup and his at the same time! (II:174)

Whenever your feelings tell you anything that contradicts My Word or what I have told you, then you can be sure about
their source! Who are you going to believe? Me or your feelings?
Stick to the discernment of My Spirit; always verify those intuitions or feelings with My Word and My counsel to you, and
when those two don't coincide, you know which one you'll have to believe and choose as truth.
The feelings I will give you will usually engender love, and strengthen your love for someone, instead of doubt. Even if by
the gift of discernment I show you something that's wrong with somebody, My Spirit will enable you to cast a veil over their
flaws and love them in spite of it. I will even enable you to show love to your enemies! (II:177)
203
You have to discern between carnal thinking and My wisdom. (II:199)

I'm teaching you many things about your fellow men through situations arising with folks you come across, teaching you
to discern their personality types, not in order for you to put them in boxes, but to show you the variety and wonders of
human nature, just as other people would study the variety of species in nature... (II:244)

Listen more, hear more, learn more. Read between the lines; what is that which he's saying actually saying? What is that
saying about him? You can enhance your discernment skills through this. Listening and observing is pretty important in
learning discernment, although it is, of course, a gift, but one that takes skill like any other gift, to learn how to use it.
Not with the intention to criticize, but in order to help people; you need to find out what their problem is, and then you can
pray for their problem as I reveal it to you, and for a way you might help them to see it without offending or hurting them,
to make them see the truth tactfully and lovingly. (II:356)

You've got to listen for the Power! When you hear something, check it out for My Power, and if it's got My Power then you
can keep it, assimilate it and use it. But if it just tickles your ears but fails to go any deeper, then let it go.
Sometimes you can already see it on their faces that they're My sheep. You just know it. And everything they say, every
word that pops out of their mouths seems to only confirm it. (II:410)

Some people's concept and discernment of what is good and what is evil is slightly distorted.
in My eyes, the reluctance of wealthy Christians to share their wealth with the poorer nations of the world, and to really
make a difference, is more evil than what some of them point their finger at and shout about. (II:413)

My Word I have given as a standard to discern between right and wrong, true and false, truth and lie. Instead, some rely on
their own minds as powerful enough to be able to do so. (II:449)

Who will be ready when the hour of temptation comes? Who will stand? Who is wise to take heed? Who will not fall for the
apparent, for that which the eyes see; but who sees deeper, below the surface, and can discern what's really going on?
(II:504)

Don't listen to and fall for the devil's imaginary "cloud of witnesses," which often really only consists of his cloud of
deceivers, made up of billions of lies! Pierce right through it with the sword of the light of My Word, and discern what's
true and false! Come to Me for the truth. (II:517)

Blessed is the man who has discernment to see as I see, who is not governed by the ways of the world to look at things.
(II:520)

(In dealing with people who are My sheep), always use your gift of discernment for the purpose of love, for the purpose of
helping them to see more clearly or get further along their road, to expand and open up their and your horizon, never to
limit.
It's supposed to be a connection of hearts, souls and spirits, not a separation! It's not about categorizing, which is creating
lines between people, but about connecting, bringing together, not separating and dividing. (II:530)

It takes real humility to admit to oneself (and others), "Hey, I thought I was on the right track about that one, but I think it's
turning out I wasn't." The right motivation isn't always necessarily the right spirit. And that's what they need to learn and
discern.
It takes a willingness to learn more than what you already know, a willingness to tell the devil, when he attacks through
pride, "I know you're telling me right know I already know everything there is to know, but I'd rather make double-sure and
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... (II:538)

Feelings can be downright deceptive.

Feeling "inspired" is not really a safe and foolproof guarantee for anything, whether the thing you feel inspired about is
really inspired by Me.
You've got to really make sure always that it's My inspiration and anointing, not an inroad or temptation of the flesh to
make itself feel grander and greater than is due.
You've got to discern whether these feelings are just feeding your pride and self-reliance or whether they help you to walk
in My footsteps and that humble road of reliance and dependence on Me. (II:560)

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. (II:592)
204
Learning to determine and distinguish between what is really important is one of the major lessons in life, and many
people are failing at it pitifully. (II:595)

Just like physical sicknesses have many different strands and variations, so do spiritual sicknesses. The difference is that
people know a lot more about the physical ones than the spiritual ones. There are very few spiritual "doctors" around, who
can successfully analyze what's wrong with someone's spirit.
That's what the gift of discernment is for, to feel your spiritual pulse, give you a spiritual x-ray and a general check-up, and
find out "what you've got."
Some ills aren't necessarily bad and permanent diseases, some are just brief attacks, like headaches that come and go, or
a backache or tummy-ache. Others come frequently and give you semi-permanent trouble, but they're not necessarily
lethal to your spiritual health.
If you desire truth in the inward parts, that's what you're going to keep getting for a while: more bad surprises and not-so-
pleasant revelations about your innermost self, about areas in your life in which you're not quite being the saint you wish
or even thought you were. (II:596)

It does take some skill to differentiate between what is My input and what comes from your old self or the enemy, and
some folks underestimate that danger, and are a little too confident in their own opinions, but then there are folks who tend
to go the opposite way and doubt themselves too much. In either case, you're not truly living from the center. In the first,
because you allow some carnal input or input from the enemy to pose as Mine; in the second, because you deny My
presence in you.
The Source of living words of wisdom right within you is the Comforter, "Who will bring all things to your remembrance,"
My Spirit in you.
It's tough when people only listen to their minds, their carnal reasoning, and are so convinced that they couldn't possibly
err or be mistaken, that they don't take the time to go into the depths of consulting Me. But "living out of your true center"
means not to be misled by those superficial voices from the fringes - your carnal mind and other voices, but to be led by
My Voice. (II:612)

My sheep hear My voice, and they detect the difference between eternal and temporal. They sense the difference between
tales and the real thing, the eternal life I give. (II:644)

If you deal with evil spirits on a more regular basis, instead of shunning and avoiding confrontation with them, you will
also grow in experience in dealing with them, in discernment and also authority over them. You will eventually be able to
recognize their handwriting sooner, will be able to deal with it more quickly and thus get rid of the problem more easily and
efficiently. (III:3)

You need to recognize the problem; not just the effect it's having on you, but somehow get down to the root of it.
It's all about dealing with and confronting your weaknesses, and those of people who are close to you and concern you,
instead of avoiding the subject. (III:7)

"Take heed how you hear!" You must discern the voices that say which way to go, and you have to play it by ear and really
listen where I lead you. (III:22)

Learning discernment teaches you to deal with others, teaches you about them and to love, accept and embrace the other.
The study of the human spirit, as in psychology, does not only serve to analyze and fill people's heads with knowledge, but
also for folks to begin to understand themselves, and to learn to tackle their problems on the basis of that understanding.
Of course, the easiest way would be to just pray for deliverance from certain problems, but, as you're finding out, it doesn't
always work that way. Sometimes it takes more than a prayer of deliverance over some of your besetting sins. It takes the
honesty and courage to be willing to face them in the first place, letting Me expose and show them to you, shine My light of
truth into those dark corners of your heart, and then allowing Me to clean up there.
Simply seeing it, recognizing it and acknowledging it, admitting to it, takes humility, and that's already half the victory in
itself. The humility to admit to oneself, "Why, this is ridiculous, the way I'm behaving! - Lord, give me the grace to snap out
of this!"
Of course, for some people, who are extremely stuck on themselves in this aspect, it can be difficult, because all they see
is their own hurt. Their pride blinds them to the truth and often even stops them from being willing to see it. (III:51)

There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. To the carnal mind it looks the
opposite of the way I see it. The way that seems right on the surface is the sanctimonious way, that's why you've got to
look deeper, below the surface, and see what I've got to say about it, and how I see things. That's what My truth does, and
bathing yourself in the truth of My Words: it helps you to see things My way, and not the way your carnal mind would
interpret things. It tells you, "things are not what they seem."
You've got to look deeply, especially when it comes to people, and you cannot judge by exterior things, just as you
wouldn't want them to judge you for your exterior. It's the spirit that counts, and that you can only see once you look
beyond the exterior, and you've got to make that effort. (III:62)

You must learn how to deal with the Accuser of the Saints and discern his twisted way of seeing and portraying things!
(III:100)

205
In exercising yourself in the usage of discernment you must not neglect the discerning of your own spirit, which is just as
prone to attacks from the enemy as anyone else's. (III:198)

It takes real discernment to recognize the true treasures, those you can rely on, do or die. (III:213)

My judgments usually came swiftly when they came, and caused a mighty widening of the eyes of those who did not
discern the signs of the times, and thus it shall be again. (III:229)

I've had to let you experience the difference between walking the path of Light, and thinking you're walking in it, all the
while following the voices and phantoms the enemy camouflages as Mine.
He has done so since the beginning of time, and it's only life's experiences which truly teach you to know the difference.
(III:262)

Since history is all about recognizing the difference between good and evil, it's obvious that not everybody can tell the
difference from the start, otherwise, there would be no need for a lesson.
What may look innocent and okay to some, may turn out in the end not to have been so innocent at all: a little curiosity by
the first woman causing the Fall of all of mankind, the seemingly innocent taste of a fruit that seemed to promise
knowledge... It's really not always that obvious, what is really good and what is bad, unless you have come to experience
the fruits of it. Afterwards you can tell the difference, and you say, "What have I done?"
What I want is that you develop some conviction against evil! I want you to recognize it for what it is, not accept it as an
"innocent" little "part of it all." It's true, it is a part of it all, but it's the part I want you to get rid of. Life is a pathway of
choosing what things are there to keep, and what things are there to get rid of. (III:339)

Discernment shouldnt ever keep you from looking at the good in people. Real mature discernment means making the
effort to look for the good in people, in spite of the bad you may already see (III:385)

People often fail to recognize the enemy within.

Most folks fail to realize that in order to be able to change the world effectively for the better, one needs to correct whats
wrong on the inside first, or at least recognize the obstacles that are right there at ones own doorstep, and then not be
overwhelmed by them, but tackle them with My Help. (III:398)

Physical encounters are always spiritual ones as well. Everybody you meet carries a spirit around with them, one that will
either lift up or knock down, and you have to discern which is the case with each one. (III:446)

Part of learning is to discern what things to hold on to and what things to let go, and before the end of the day I hope youll
have found out that the amount of things to let go far exceeds the amount of those you should hang on to. Letting go is
really what its all about in this life. Letting go, instead of clinging to things you wont be able to keep anyway. (III:488)

You cant just get to My type of conclusion and happy ending by merely putting two and two together, merely going by
your own natural experiences alone, leaning on your own understanding. You need discernment that digs deeper and an
ear that hears My whispers in your heart that will tell you how you truly ought to react. (III:491)

It takes a while to discern between what are genuinely your natural inclinations, and that which becomes the exaggerated,
sinful version of a natural desire that the enemy tries to promote in order to make you feel guilty about it afterwards, just
as it takes time, experience, and skill to learn to discern between what is truth and lies in the world
It takes time to learn to expose the workings of the devil in your life, and the way he operates, but once you do, things
become clearer, and it becomes more obvious to you what is okay and what isnt. And in the meantime, making mistakes is
whats going to help you find out all the quicker. (III:510)

The truly valuable people are as rare as jewels, diamonds or gold nuggets among a ton of coal or earth or rubble Theyre
hard to find, and they take work to find. Its hard work to first of all recognize them, clean them, and then, keep them,
because the enemy is going to try all he can to snatch them away from you.
Only time will tell their true worth, and whether theyre real and true diamonds or gems
One of the primary purposes for discernment is to distinguish what kind of person might be good for you to take along
and what kind youd be better off without, and experience teaches you that the right kind are rare. (III:528)

It pays to look and think twice before you decide what youre going to allow your mind to fall for. Will you fall for that which
merely seems right and safe and secure at first glance, or will you look deeper, beyond the appearances on the surface?
Its not so much a question of intelligence or IQ, as it is of healthy, God-given discernment of what is good or bad, right or
wrong. (III:542)

It takes a sharp, close and intricate analysis of your people, to figure out and determine what it is they really need, and one
cannot be scared of the truth and some not-so-pretty details. (III:565)

Its easy to spot the tyrant in others, but an entirely different challenge discovering him in yourself.

206
How much love do you have to see with that extra spiritual eye that sees the good in others and possibilities others cant
see, instead of only their faults? It doesnt say that love has an extra spiritual eye that sees their faults. Thats usually the
devils eye of self-righteousness, rather than even God-given discernment. If you want something to discern and analyze,
then it should be your own behavior, your own part of the blame and your share of the responsibility in this situation and
equation, and make a serious effort to find ways of improving your own act. (III:583)

Relying on your own mind and wisdom in your discerning people can be dangerous, because you may think you have
somebody all figured out, but because you didnt have any true and supernatural insight from Me about them, they can
deceive and fool you and lead you on, and wind up having cheated you out of your precious time, or worse, having used or
even betrayed you.
There are folks who know exactly what to say and how to behave in order to impress others and come across as attractive
and make people like them. They know exactly what kind of music you want to hear.
Somebody who may have looked promising, and as if they had their act together, can turn out to be a total mess, and can
make you wish you hadnt invested that much time in them, after all. (III:592)

Learning to interpret the vibes people give off properly is a challenge in life. Finding out what it really is that makes people
tic, and not just falling for your own first best interpretation and wild guess what their intentions and motivations may be
In order to really find out what it is that people need and how they really need you to act or react toward them, you have to
stay in tune with Me. (IV:124)

Be wise enough to discern what the truly valuable things in life are! (IV:175)

Can you discern and tell the Real Thing when you see it and have got it right in front of your nose?
My Original is sometimes hard to distinguish from the enemys fakes and copies Only My chosen ones can spot the Real
Thing from among the fakes. (IV:271)

You can learn to define, determine and judge by true, divine and everlasting standards, as opposed to the faulty and flawed
standards of man that are soon to be replaced permanently, even when it comes to such basic things as determining what
is good or bad.
If you cease from judging yourself, or judging by criteria based on your own personal inclinations, intuitions or
understanding, and instead seek to view things from My angle, you can learn to truly apply that divine standard that will
render the true picture of things.
Its as if you look through a spectrum that will render a clear and true illustration of things, instead of the tainted and poor
version your own outdated software might render.
You can become an apprentice to the One True Judge, instead of being just one more wannabe judge whose own criteria
may be in desperate need of revision Like that of so many worldly judges, or even the average citizen who judges
everything and just about anyone by their own individual point of view based on the information they happen to accept as
valid, which is basically, whatever suits them best.
Its a choice not for the most comfortable option, but rather, for the only true and genuine one, no matter what discomforts
and sacrifices it may bring, that determines ones ability to truly judge and discern between good and evil. Basically, it
means allowing Me to judge the matter, and not come to conclusions prematurely.
That requires patience and faith. Sometimes youve just got to leave it there until I reveal to you My thoughts and input
about it. But the more practice you get at obtaining My input, the more skilled youll become at it. Just make sure you
settle for nothing less than Mine, and that you dont mingle too much of your own personal view and opinion with your
judgment, which may taint the picture and diminish the quality of your gift of discernment.
As long as your quest is for the truth and nothing but the truth instead of conclusions made in a rush, youre safe. As
long as you remember that it is I Who know, not you, you can fairly safely assume that youll be getting the right picture
and that your judgment will be fair. (IV:194)

I want you to see the real value in and of things.

To appreciate something means you know its worth.
The standard of love is the only true and proper standard.
Weigh all you do and are going to do by that standard of love, and learn to judge things by the criteria of love. See things
through the eyes of love, and make it your yard stick by which you measure everything, even the cost and price and value
of your daily endeavors.
Its a matter of choice between life more abundant, the full life I promise, and the empty life that people lead when they
stuff it with the fake goods the enemy or the world has to offer. Its a matter of discerning and determining between the true
and false values. (IV:200)

Can you discern and tell the Real Thing when you see it and have got it right in front of your nose?
My Original is sometimes hard to distinguish from the enemys fakes and copies Only My chosen ones can spot the Real
Thing from among the fakes. (IV:271)

Im teaching you to discern between the devils fakes and the Real Thing. (IV:313)

The devil likes to use the seemingly good, while I, in contrast, like to use the seemingly bad sometimes, only to defy him
and natural reasoning.
207
Its a major lesson in helping you discern in the future between what is authentically good or bad. (IV:314)

Learn to discern what spiritual intake and food is good for you!
It's an art to discern the voices that are affecting and influencing you, to really choose that which is good for you, and
eschew that which is not. (IV:447)

The devil has got to eke out some degree of wisdom in order to impress and persuade folks to follow and obey him. But
being able to discern where his element of truth is being mixed with lies is something only My Spirit can guarantee, and
even though that doesnt always necessary make your life more comfortable physically, it should help in spiritual ways to
be able to see whats truly right and wrong and what the score is, and what on earth is going on. (2012:149)

Its a matter of mindset, the ability to discern right from wrong accurately; and thats what life is all about. (2012:151)

Keep discerning your own behavior, whether its right or wrong. Its easier to spot the wrong kind of behavior in others, such as
your kids, but you must also keep yourself in check! (2013:20)

Youve got to learn to recognize and discern good Spirits of Love versus bad spirits of evil. (2014:45)

The fact of you never really loving nor even liking your home country very much might come from your spiritual gift of
discernment. (2015:58)

Youre becoming more aware of the enemys effect and input on people more aware of his action and influence Thats
worth something. A greater level of discernment. - A greater degree of learning throughout life. (2015:96)

A life in a world pretty much taken over by the enemy at least will help you appreciate the Hereafter more and teach you a
lot of lessons about whats good or bad, better or worse So, being able to discern between those two is already worth
quite a lot, and you should appreciate it and go through it without complaining about it, if you can. (2015:111)

A gift of discernment should be strong enough to be able to tell the difference between whats from Above or from below.
(2015:155)

You have to discern what comes from Me, and what doesnt! (2015:165)

That gift of discernment is definitely one not to underestimate or neglect, when the quality of your life absolutely depends
on whose voice youre going to listen to and follow in your deeds and actions. (2016:67)

Learning discernment a gift of the Spirit is an advantage, not a disadvantage. (2016:133)

My ways are different. And thats one way you can discern that theyre Mine. (2016:151)

Its basically the choice between right and wrong that determines the outcome. The problem seems to be with some, that
they dont know which is which, since theres the chief Liar in control who distorts each aspect to an extent where it takes
heavenly wisdom and discernment to be able to distinguish which is which. (2016:160)

The gift of discernment is developing into an important gift of the ability to distinguish the real from the fakes, the latter of
which are extensively more numerous. (2016:163)

Feelings and emotions can be intuitions from the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you in the right direction as a confirmation
of that fact! The definite confirmation would be to claim the gift of discernment, just to make sure. (17:103)

208
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Discipleship

Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matthew 4:19

By this shall all men know that you are My disciple if we have love one for another! (I:28)

Dont follow your own leadings, follow Mine! (I:35)

Prove that you are My disciple by showing love! (I:44)

Come, My children, and forsake fleeting pleasures, having food and raiment, let us therewith be content, learning to be
content in whatsoever state, and find out about the thrills of the real winners and champions of the universe. The kind of
happiness that money just cant buy, the bliss of living for love. Find out how much more blessed it is to give than to
receive, how much more fun it can be to be consumed instead of consuming, to be used by Me, instead of seeking to use
others to give you self-confirmation and pats on the back. Why not strive for a higher goal and wait for a pat on your back
from Me: Well, done, thou good and faithful servant: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord? And oh, what a joy that shall be!
The joy will be the greater, the more you are willing to forego the cheap, fleeting and fake joys of this world. Besides, you
will already be able to enjoy glimpses of that heavenly bliss in this life. (I:62)

Some people are just looking for an excuse to do what they would really like to do: Quit. Throw in the towel and say Uncle
to the Devil. Get me back into the matrix! I dont want any more of this hard life of faith... (I:105)

Count the cost, lest you find out in the middle of the road that the price is higher than what you are willing and able to pay,
and you might have to turn around again. Determine whether youre really willing to pay the maximum price of
surrendering all
Many people who said they were going to follow and serve Me went back ashamed, because the price turned out to be
higher than what they had expected. (I:140)

The first step to becoming My disciple is forsaking all. Matthew 19:29 still applies and works today! I can only give you a
hundred-fold of all you leave and forsake for Me if you actually do so. Forsaking all is never done just once and for all; its
a process that goes on. (I:155)

Lets start all over again on a good, firm, solid foundation of knowledge of the fact that in reality, when it comes down to it,
youve got and know nothing!
Nothings pretty good for starters, at least it is for Me! Much better than some of the stuff that some people think they
have, thats only creating a mental road block preventing Me from starting to really work in their life!
Thats why forsaking all is so important: it leaves you with nothing but Me, and when Im all youve got, then youre really
free to just let Me use you and do it through you! (I:157)

That's the main purpose of My followers: I was a missionary, and if you want to be a true follower of Me, then that's what
you, too, will be. (I:158)

Discipleship is more than just making a living for yourselves! It is living for others and bringing Me to them, salvation and
all that youve found in Me. (I:187)

A missionary is a man or woman who is utterly dedicated and yielded to Me, not holding anything back. Nothing else
matters to them but to give, to pass on that which they have received from Me. They are compelled, driven by that force,
that love unspeakable, peace that passeth the understanding of your mind, My supernatural Spirit. The love of Christ
constraineth them.
A missionary is a picture of utter trust in Me vs. the flesh. They know they are doing My work, and that Im a fair Boss and
Husband, and will never fail to fulfill My part of the deal. They can count on My supply and My faithfulness to reward the
faithful.
A missionary is a picture of true wisdom, for he has seen through the vanity and emptiness of this World, that its got
nothing to give that could ever truly satisfy, and thus they rush forward to fill that aching need in their fellowman for that
only real and lasting treasure that truly satisfies: My Love and Salvation.
A missionary is humble, yet proud. Proud to be working for Me, the King of kings and Lord of lords, doing even the
humblest and lowest and most menial task, just to follow My example in gratitude, and to fill the need.
A missionary does that which no one else would do, what nobody else can do or is willing to do, and thus they become
superhuman. My missionaries are My supermen.
Just like I was raised from the humiliating death on the cross and ascended into the sky in glory and am set at the right
hand of My Fathers throne, so shall My humble missionaries be highly exalted above all men.
They are the rulers of My future. For who else will be worthy? Who else will have the love necessary but those who have
already given their lives in love?
209
All those who think they are something shall stand in shame in that day when I will exalt those carriers of My Words.
What is a missionary? Theyre all Ive got. (I:207)

If youre a disciple, a fully grown, mature doer of the Word, then show Me your faith by your works!
Show Me that you are willing and able to sacrifice! Show me that you are willing and able to act on what Im showing you
to do, even if those dearest to you dont understand and think youre making a mistake. Show Me whose follower you are!
(I:244)

Being an evangelist or missionary, an apostle, means not just waiting for opportunities to arise, but creating opportunities.
Forsaking all everyday! Thats one of the slogans of a true disciple to keep in mind if you want to start off each day
clean slated in order to get the most you can do out of it. Forsaking all in order to put Me first, thats the goal. (I:250)

If you can make up your mind to truly follow Me, I will make a way, even when there is no way. (I:255)

If you want to be My disciple, youre going to have to spend time with Me. (I:309)

Im calling My chosen ones to Me, constantly, and they have to follow and obey that call, either leaving the rest behind or
bringing them along, according to their choices, but their motives must also be right. Not hitched on some personal dream
they might be having, but to find and follow the radical truth and die for it daily, and whenever it is required. Its a real life
and death battle, not a vacation.
One great requirement of any of My true followers is the willingness to confront themselves, keep book with their own
souls and, if necessary, come to the conclusion, Ive been wrong all along, I must start from scratch! Toss everything
over and start clean slated: Forget your old ideas and attitudes...
If you can see the shape youre in with My eyes, thatll be a good place to start on your way up again. (I:349)

Discipleship means laying down your life for each other without ever really considering it a sacrifice. It means that you will
prefer doing something with somebody else, simply because I have said in My Word that it is better for you to do so. (I:380)

A revolution isnt some kind of spare time hobby you can pursue when all the other things have been taken care of.
Most people wont think favorably of you, if you go and do exactly what I want!
The only thing that brings life is to live the life: being a furious voice for the truth out there everyday, where it counts, and
being a sample of the Real Thing by laying down your life for the sheep down there every day of your life, not just talking
about it as if it would be some nice thing to do
What will you do with your life? Who are you going to be? Just another half-hearted, lukewarm compromiser, afraid of
what people might think of him, or a true disciple who is not too selfish, not too concerned about his own wee little life to
lay it down for others in the firm belief that Im not a liar, but that My Word is true: there are sheep out there right now who
are starving for My love, and I will hold you accountable for each and every one of them that was there in your power to
reach and find, but you would not because you were too selfish, too occupied with your own little affairs and too
concerned what people might think about you.
Will you be a loser, who was too afraid to look like a loser in the Systems eyes and thus compromised and danced
according to their fiddle? Another sheep, howling with the wolves? Or will you be a winner, one of the few rare true
conquerors who, by being willing to appear as the seeming losers, overcame this World and will shine like the stars
forever and ever?
If its this life you put your money on, go on. I will not condemn you. The sheep you have failed and will yet fail to find will
condemn you some day. Why didnt you obey your Lord and why did you never go out to find us? (I:391)

The sacrificial option, the option of laying down your life for Me, of taking up your cross, the option of truly denying
yourself and your own desires, that's the only option that truly results in life.
When I'm putting before you an option to do the absolutely radical, contrary-to-all-your-rational-reasoning thing, how
radical are you? How sold out for Me are you? How willing to really say "Yes!" to Me without reservations?
Usually, time and history have proven that the harder way was the more fruitful way. What if I had not chosen to take My
Father's cup and not gone the hard way? My Father could not even have sent the Comforter, because it was expedient for
My flesh to go away, so that My Spirit could come. Even so, it is expedient for you that your flesh should be crucified and
mortified, so that the Spirit might come to life in you. (I:417)

The hour has come that I'm asking you to take up your cross. Are you ready for it? Have you been wasting your time and
letting your spiritual muscles become all lax and weak, or have you been preparing, so that when I would call you, you
would be ready?
Nobody ever said that dying daily would be fun or easy. (I:418)

If you've been freed from the Matrix, "unplugged", saved, your life is a constant war against the agents of the Devil, and
often you don't feel like fighting at all, and you feel like, "Plug me back in! I don't want to fight! Give me some kind of lie or
half-truth, so that I can live in peace again, so that I don't have to fight this ugly war anymore!"
That's why some of the most deluded people in the World are Christians, people who have been saved from their sins, but
who don't really care to find out exactly what that means. They think, "Oh, sure, it's easy: just basically try to be a 'good
person', don't do anything bad..." It's sort of like the way I tested the rich young ruler, who asked Me what he should do to
go to heaven, and I told him the basic commandments, "Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal," etc., and of course, he
210
proudly stated that he had kept all those. So now came the real clinch: "Well, there is one more thing you can do, if you
really want your treasure to be in Heaven, not on Earth: go, sell all that you have and give it to the poor and come, follow
Me!" But that was a bit too much too ask.
Losing your life in order to find it and denying oneself is the exact opposite of what the World preaches. It also means
going against that what you want, and that's the real crux of the matter with some. As long as I allow them to keep their
little idol, it's okay to be a Christian. And as long as they hold on to it, the devil won't even attack them too much, because
he knows, they're still partly his. "Huddersfield belongs to You and me", he can say about them, and he knows they won't
be nearly as effective as if they would really forsake all. (I:430)

It's a choice between the ordinary - the System way, doing it like everybody else - and the extraordinary: My way. A choice
between the mountain or the valley. Being a mountain man means to be willing to make a break with the System's ways of
conformity.
It's as if every morning when you wake up, the Devil has woven a new web around you, consisting of habits, selfish
attitudes and chains of conformity, and you must decide whether you're going to live with them or not.
There's nothing like life on the mountain! Valley life will never ever truly be "it" for you, it'll always only be the same old
"cage." Choose freedom, choose the mountain! Leave the System valley cage of conformity to everybody else's way
behind. (I:460)

If you want Me to use you, you're going to have to resist the temptations of the flesh to settle for the easy and comfortable
way! Being a soldier and fighter for Me is definitely not the comfortable way. Nor is the comfortable way in any way being a
soldier and fighter for Me.
Every soldier also needs some time of relaxation and recuperation, but I'm talking about when your whole life just seems
to revolve around finding an easier way to do it, following the path of the least resistance constantly, avoiding
confrontation, settling for the less challenging compromise. If that's the pattern of your life, then you can tell that your life
hasn't really been guided by Me. It's just not My way to seek the easy way out, to look for the comfortable way, because
that is the way that seeks to avoid the cross, the hardships and any sacrifice.
Just because it's there, doesn't mean you have to use it or do it or that it's of Me.
Making things more comfortable for you is not My will! To hell with the comfortable way! The comfortable way is landing
an awful lot of people quite uncomfortably in hell, when you could have saved them from it! A lot of people are going
through an uncomfortable hell-on-Earth type of life, while you are busy being comfortable! The most uncomfortable place
for a Christian is a comfortable place. So, beware of the comfortable place! (I:463)

Keep following Me, and keep learning how to follow Me, how to refuse the enemy's shiny distractions, his apparently more
glorious or gratifying other options! (I:478)

If you can't clearly see the road ahead of you, then that is so that you will seek Me more! Otherwise, you would just
proceed in the flesh and follow your own carnal mind and reasoning. This is not a time for reasoning, this is a time for
blind trust and obedience and just following Me, even though you can't see where I'm leading. I need disciples who can
blindly trust Me and will just follow wherever I go. (I:507)

It's easy to follow God and be a disciple when you "know" that everything's going to go to pot. But that same kind of
conviction is pretty hard to maintain when the World around you just keeps going and going without the judgment ever
happening, and you wonder whether you've been fooled.
"The judgments aren't coming, anyway, so why should I keep leading this difficult life of sacrifice, when everybody else
around is having so much fun? I wanna have some fun, too."
But real conviction stands its ground. You know right is still right, and wrong is still wrong. You know that you're going to
be rewarded abundantly for the right you do, and for avoiding the wrong.
If you do things for Me and as unto Me, you'll reap eternal benefits and more permanent blessings than paper money. I'll
reward your faithfulness in the little things by being faithful to you, even and especially during the tough times. (I:567)

Take up your cross and follow Me, spreading My message of truth to the lost and hungry sheep and being a ray of light in a
dark and dreary world! (I:613)

I called My disciples to become fishers of men. Fishing is a skill. You can't just stand there in the middle of the brook or
river or lake or sea and wait for the fish to jump into your net. It takes a little skill to trick them into the net, a certain way to
swing the fishing rod, or to cast your net in the right way, without scaring the fish away. (II:28)

My path is a rough and rugged mountain path, and those who choose it must be strong in spirit, not fat and pampered, and
they must be ready for sacrifice. (II:49)

It activates My Power in your life when you decide to obey Me and take up your cross, deny yourself and lay down your life
for Me! (II:59)

You can't just enjoy the physical advantages of being a disciple without doing your part of making sure you understand
what the spiritual principles of discipleship are, and what its all about. You can't just be in it for the loaves and the fishes
and not take time to sit at My feet, listen to My Words for the purpose of passing them on to others. (II:93)

211
Don't withhold from them the golden opportunity, the chance of a life-time to be employed by the best Employer in the
world, to find the best cause anyone could ever live and fight for! (II:100)

What else is more worthy of the investment of your love and time and all, than eternal human souls? Is there any greater
cause to dedicate your life to? That was the cause to which I dedicated Mine, so, if you want to follow in My footsteps,
you'll be wise and do the same! If I thought they were worth it, so can you. (II:117)

It requires faith to go out there and die daily for Me, and not many have got what it takes. That's why I'm using whoever I
can who is simply willing to do the job, even if they're far from perfect.
The ones I have chosen to do the most difficult job in the world aren't those who think themselves perfect. (II:136)

The primary requisite for all those who would follow Me is love, and once My perfect Love will be your driving force and
motivation, it will cast out all your fears, and courage will be yours, along with everything else you'll ever need! (II:151)

I want My followers to be masters at the art of loving, capable of loving more than average.
What else can motivate you to want to go out and take My Gospel to complete strangers who are not very likely to
welcome or embrace what you've got to tell or offer them? That takes the kind of love I'm talking about, and it begins
where your natural resources and capabilities to love end. (II:157)

Becoming more open for My new, unknown elements, the factor that is so strange to your egos and habits is what it truly
means to be revolutionary!
To be truly revolutionary is to whole-heartedly jump into a new thing, a direction I'm leading you, even if it doesn't make
any sense to you or is contrary to everything you have believed or known thus far!
I love it when you just follow Me along blindly, not seeing or knowing where I lead you, but you just trust Me, that I'll lead
you aright! (II:213)

Don't just idly seek to enjoy the situation as much as possible, trying to squeeze the most fun or ease out of it, but work at
it! Put something into it!
You determine what kind of a revolutionary and obedient disciple you're going to be, and there's nothing and nobody you
can blame that's supposedly stopping or hindering you! It just takes work, that's all.
Once you realize that you're actually working for the King of the universe, the highest-ranking Employer you could
possibly ever have, then you'll actually see it can be quite adventurous and exciting.
Take the responsibility that everything - what you're going to become in the future, your destiny and all that goes with it -
depends on you, your choices and actions right now, today, and the amount of elbow grease and initiative that you're
willing to invest in it!
To become a real revolutionary, start right now, today, by forsaking all, laying down your life, denying yourself and taking
up your cross in every little situation and at every opportunity that you come across! (II:216)

I'm guiding you step by step. My modus operandi for My army is not one where every step or every path ahead is clearly
laid out in advance, it's one of trusting and following Me blindly, according to last minute instructions and doors, which I
open and close just before it is time to move, without leaving your carnal minds much room to figure it all out by
yourselves! (II:237)

Remember what I put up with from sinners: False accusations, fingers pointed at you and people hating you and despising
you in a self-righteous frenzy is something you must be prepared for if you follow in My footsteps.
The devil can truly make them feel oh so right about accusing you. You must be willing to bear this if you follow Me and
will be My disciple, that sooner or later they will shout "crucify him," because you're not one of them.
You will always be one of those outsiders, those strangers and intruders, like Me, that they will resist, because men love
darkness rather than light. (II:248)

Truly living by faith means, you don't care whether you're going to die or live another day, all you know is, you want to
follow Me blindly wherever I lead.
Following Me requires flexibility and openness to change. Following Me is a constant revolution. I am Revolution. Stay
flexible and revolutionary! (II:287)

Step into My footsteps! I've had lots of people against Me, in fact, nearly an entire race, plus the majority of the
surrounding peoples, and that in spite of all the good I did. Yet it was My Father's love for Me that saw Me through. And
even so it will be My love for you that will see you through and help you to focus on the few who will make it worth it all!
(II:350)

Keep the pioneer spirit, the missionary spirit, the "stranger in this world" spirit, the "gypsies of the Lord" spirit, the "we've
just got to keep moving" spirit! Don't allow yourself to settle down! (II:391)

Look for opportunities, ways and possibilities in which you could be of help in order to further My Cause!
It's a matter of not always being so concerned about the things I do for you, but developing an unselfish mindset of
seeking what you could do for Me each day; to ask Me every morning, "What can I do for you?" (II:421)

212
You can only be a prophet who calls out others to "come out from among them," if you have been "called out" yourself,
first, and have obeyed the call, and have exited from the whorish System. It's like what I told My followers about the
Pharisees: what they tell you, this do, but don't do as they do, for they may say it, but they do it not!
You can't really follow them, because there is nowhere to follow.
Which body do you want to follow: the dying corpse of the old pharisaical church, or the vibrant, new and young body of
My called-out ones? (II:431)

Memorization is one of the easiest and first ways to be a "doer" of the Word. It's part of discipleship. "The law of his God is
in his heart; none of his steps shall slide." It's one of the best safeguards you've got, and a needed sample for others to
see that you're making an effort to uphold the standard. (II:439)

If you want to follow in My footsteps, I'm expecting you to reach the level of maturity and ability to forgive and love
unconditionally. You love them in spite of their rejection of you, knowing by faith that they will change eventually, even as
some of My most ardent persecutors turned out to be some of My most loyal and ardent promoters in the end.
Let them "kill" you, "crucify" you and reject you and love them anyway, and thus become a savior of the world! Join Me,
and take up My cross upon you! (II:481)

Bring some light into the darkness! Let your light so shine before men! - That they may see your good works... They may
not always consider them "good," but what counts is what I call good, and if I call it good, then it is.
They glorify the Father by beholding your good works. Just by receiving what you're doing. By accepting it, by receiving it,
by liking what they see, because they're absorbing His light, like a tree, and it is inevitably bound to bring forth fruit, some
new leaf or branch, and it will bring forth new life. If you are messengers of God's light and life, then it will always bring
forth some kind of new life when you let your light shine before men! (II:485)

If you faithfully put hours into reaching folks with My message, you'll see your "business" picking up and flourishing,
eventually. (II:491)

My goal for you is not for you to live a comfortable life until the day you peacefully die of old age. My idea of your purpose
in life is not a comfortable vacation. It's meant to be more adventurous than that, daring them to wake up, challenging
them.
Be a living alarm clock in their lives that will rattle them out of their sleep and their stupor. (II:542)

Once you grow into a fully mature disciple, faithfully absorbing and imparting My Word to others, you actually become the
living Word in the flesh to the World as I have been. (II:548)

"Denying yourself and taking up your cross" is the very opposite of man's modern teachings and other philosophies of
"finding yourself," fulfilling yourself" and saving yourself. Denying yourself means to not accept the enemy's lies, which
he tells the proud and self-sufficient that any of you can save yourselves by your good works. It also means to forsake
your own plans about making a great name for yourself in this life. It means putting your cards and your money on the
Spirit, and the World to come, not the flesh and this present world. It means that you believe what I said: "It is the Spirit
that quickens (gives life), the flesh profits nothing," that you have chosen the way of Abel, not of Cain, the way of the
"Lord-letters" not of the workers-in-the-flesh... (II:549)

I have always wanted My disciples not to focus on their needs, their lacks, their worldly affairs, but on the harvest: My
need for those lost sheep out there who still need to be won, workers that might still be found, if you focus on seeking
them out. (II:554)

Discipleship has turned out for many folks not to be "their thing" anymore, because it's never been "their" thing in the first
place, but Mine, and the only way it can become your thing is by making My Thing and My Cause yours also. You can only
identify with this by making My ambitions and pursuits your very own, which means you'll have to forget about your own.
(II:555)

The whole idea of faith and serving Me is that you don't have to serve your circumstances and be subject to them, but to
apply your faith in My power to make the most out of them, make something better out of them, to use that empty ground
and fill it with My seeds, to till and plough it, so that from that which was once empty ground, unpromising and seemingly
barren, you bring forth fruit unto Me. (II:563)

Some can live with the lie and would be satisfied with a cheap counterfeit. That's good enough for them. But there are
those who just can't stand to live like that, and those are My crown-hunters. They're not going to chase only after mere
earthly rewards, but they're going to live this life I've given them in pursuit of that higher reward, that everlasting one. They
put their stakes up higher than the rest of them, they shoot for everlasting fame and glory, not in this world, but in the one
to come. (II:573)

I never asked anyone to worship Me, I asked them to follow Me. To worship someone is easy. It's adoring them from afar.
But to follow them and do as they do, thats a real proof of love, that's worship in spirit and in truth (Jn.4:24). (II:575)

My way was love, truth and humility. Adapt to My style instead of theirs.
213
It's tough to go My way, because it means being willing to take the pain, instead of dishing it out. It means to be ready to
receive the ridicule, ready to be laughed at, instead of being the one who ridicules and laughs at others. It means taking up
the cross yourself, instead of nailing others to crosses with your words. (II:579)

Either you follow in My footsteps as a pilgrim and stranger in this world, or you might as well forget about the whole thing
and stop pretending you're something you're not. Being proud of your country and at the same time professing to be a
Christian is hypocrisy, because it's like claiming to be fighting for one side while advertising the enemy at the same time.
It's treason.
You can't be a true and sincere Christian and a flag-waving nationalist of any of the wicked nations of this world at the
same time! You're either advertising this world, or Me, the Alternative to this world, you can't do both. You can't advertise
God and Mammon. You can't serve two masters. (II:591)

The process of sanctification is a process of separation. I take you apart from the rest, and consecrate you unto Me. You
are Mine. Receive it as an act of My love in which I am drawing you closer to My bosom and into My arms. I cannot do so,
unless I take you apart from the world, for we oppose each other. (II:592)

Life as a disciple of Mine is all about witnessing; about winning others! Your own survival is none of your concern, that's
Mine, providing you do the job I am calling and sending you to!
Your calling is to turn around and go the completely other way! People will only follow your call and challenge for them to
turn around, if you have turned around yourself, and are going the opposite way of the main stream! (II:605)

You should ask yourself periodically where you stand, how sincere and how serious you are about your service for Me,
what it really is you want, and whether you're truly giving your all for Me. Is there more you could give? Are you seeking
with all your heart to make some progress today?
How much more time do you spend on some other activity, in comparison to the time you truly spend with Me or for Me?
Will you be found wanting? Could there have been more that you could have done, when you assess all that you did, at the
end of your day, or at the end of the year, or at the end of your life?
What are your goals? What is it you really want? What is it you'd like to accomplish and achieve, and is that which you
would like to achieve truly something you would want to achieve for Me? Are you sure it's not just something your own
ambition drives you to do, but is it truly the humble thing, and the thing I ask of you?
These are honest questions that require sincere answers. You've got to let Me check your heart, if you really want Me to
accomplish through you the utmost possible. (II:627)

Serving Me happens to be one thing you cannot manage to do successfully in your own interest! It's got to happen
because your desire is to make someone else happy, starting with Me.
Your life can take on a whole new meaning and outlook, your days can become much brighter, if you learn to seek not only
what I can do for you, but what you can do for Me, and make that your primary incentive!
May you discover the joy of what it means to really be able to say with your whole heart, "All I want to do is serve Him!"
(III:8)

When I call you to follow Me and give your all, then you cannot allow anything or anybody to hold you back; no earthly ties
of flesh and blood, nor emotional ones. For My true soldiers and called out ones, the Cause will always be above any
earthly obligations, customs, relations or ties.
Those who are truly called never settle for less than total freedom from those earthly bonds. (III:53)

My true disciples are going to be able to thrive on anything, no matter how rough the circumstances, they will keep going,
and will keep producing the life-giving medicine for the souls of the world, as long as they regularly get some of My
refreshing waters! All My true disciples need is Me and My refreshing waters. I will do and provide all the rest for them.
(III:80)

To serve Me means to serve Me in battle against evil. (III:99)

I know the struggle you're facing against all the distractions hammering at the door of your life!
The danger of wanting to promote oneself instead of Me and My humble and humiliating message, which involves dying
daily, is always there, and part of the battle consists of just resisting that temptation. (III:110)

You can't be My chosen people and be popular at the same time. (III:133)

To be a follower, a disciple of Mine, means going in the opposite direction of where the world is going and the flesh would
lead you. Instead of letting them drag you along with their current, you go the opposite way.
Stop being dragged about by the old school of the System and the flesh, and whatever they tell you to do in order to make
progress. Stop all that and come to Me! Turn around and start walking a new way, in a new direction. Don't be afraid of
going the opposite direction of the one everybody else is heading.
It may look like a humbler, less promising way, a darker, less shiny, less glorious way, and folks may be shaking their
heads at you and wonder, "Why's he taking that shabby road?" But in the end you and they will see which of the two paths
really will have led to what I'd call true success.

214
The path I have taken wasn't a glorious road, and one that not many initially would have had the courage to follow. It was a
road that took My followers far away from their homes and all that was familiar and trusted... Away and off into the
horizon... into the new, the unknown... with Me. (III:215)

I didn't have to persuade anyone to follow Me or talk them into it. I just said, "Follow Me," and they did. (III:218)

That "cross before you" isn't just a nice metaphor, it isn't just a line, you can sing along meaninglessly. Taking up your
cross is a hardcore reality that you've got to accept in the matrix of your understanding, your concept and perception of
what's to be expected out of this life. Your cross is your destiny.
And just like with Me, and every other true follower of Mine throughout history, your cross will always be provided for you
by people.
If you keep in mind that that is your destiny, just as it was Mine, you won't be disillusioned, you'll know what to expect.
Your job, which is seeking first the Kingdom of God, which again consists of people, is your cross. Those people who
constitute your job for Me, and that you're supposed to lay down your life for, also become your cross.
As My follower and as a partaker of My sufferings, that is what you've got to expect.
That cross is real. It's a reality. And you've got to bear it willingly.
You've got to stop trying to avoid the hurt and the pain, but realize that it's essential it belongs. If you try to evade it and
run from it, you'll never learn the lessons you should, you're never going to get the point, and what's worse, you'll fail your
destiny.
You've got to allow them to "crucify" you and cause you that pain. You cannot run from it or try to resist it... It's your
destiny not to fight back. Learn from Me how to take that suffering and hurt from people without resisting it, without any
attempts of defending yourself; you've just got to let it be.
If they reject and resist you, rejoice, for so have they done with Me, and it means you're in the same boat with Me. You can
learn some of the same lessons I learned, experience some of the same things I did, and bring forth some of the same
fruits, accordingly; most of all, the fruits of really being able to love and pardon.
True happiness is only found in voluntarily choosing the path of suffering for My people, the path I have chosen, and the
path that marks the life of everyone of those who have chosen to truly follow Me, although they all may be manifested in
different ways. What matters is that you accept your path, and not try to walk someone else's. (III:247)

I was criticized by My own followers, brethren and closest friends, betrayed by one of them, and denied by another... Walk
a mile in My shoes! If you want to follow My path, then that's what's going to be expecting you.
If you're receiving some flak and feeling rejected, welcome to the club! (III:264)

Nothing means as total a break with the System as joining My disciples. (III:267)

Those who want to serve Me usually prefer to do so on their own terms, within a well respected church or environment.
Not many are willing to pay the price for discipleship that is laid down in My Book: persecutions, sufferings, being a
stranger in this world, slandered and lied about, and taking up your cross to die daily. (III:270)

Being a disciple and a warrior for Me has nothing to do with being nice. The word nice is nowhere to be found in the Bible
and is simply not what I'm all about! Especially not what the world considers nice! (III:275)

Coming down to everyone's level, no matter where they're at, is what I did, and that's what folks expect of any true follower
of Mine. (III:278)

You're supposed to esteem each other higher than yourselves, preferring one another. How much do you practice that?
You're really only practicing it as much as you do with the person you have the hardest time with.
Your general weight as a practicing believer and disciple will be heavily influenced by the score you achieve with those
you're most familiar with. (III:282)

In order to be a giver, you've got to tune into the Source that will make it possible for you to continue giving, even when
the natural resources of others will long have run dry. That has been the strength of each and every one of My disciples
who lit up the landscape for Me throughout history. (III:287)

You're a follower in My footsteps, so your fate will in many ways be similar to Mine. You won't always be a success with
everybody. There will always be those who oppose, resist and reject you and all you have to give, just as they rejected
Moses, the prophets and Myself, and nearly each and every one of My true apostles throughout history.
Popularity is one of the first things that has to go on the offering plate if you're out to serve Me.
There won't be a lot of folks in the world thinking you're nice, but rather, a dangerous religious nut. And the only peace you
will have, which will also keep you from swallowing the lies the devil will tell the world about you, is that there's a handful
of people, your closest friends and loved ones around you, who will know who you really are. (III:295)

Being part of the Real Thing is the severest and most difficult series of tests one can take in this life!
Only the truly elite and chosen ones can pass those tests, and I'm not talking about the "smartest" or the "greatest" and
obvious "winner" types. Only those who are truly willing to look like the losers in this life have the stuff it takes to become
that kind of a winner, and that's what it takes and what it means to be following in My footsteps. Too many of My followers
still insist on wanting to look like the winners...
215
My road is not the road to fame and fortune and easy success in this world.
The Real Thing doesn't look very inviting at all. It's difficult, in fact, in worldly language, you could describe it, "as tough as
hell."
It's the path that requires everything. The one where I will leave nothing left over of your pet quirks, your pet idols, nor any
of your little pet lies and deceits and cover-ups, all your little weapons of self-defense that you learn how to use in the
System. (III:302)

Remember the common attitude people throughout history had toward those that I had anointed and risen above their own
heads in some way:
Moses - "Who made thee to rule over us?..."
Joseph - "Here comes the dreamer..."
Nehemiah - "Come down from that high and mighty wall of yours..."
Samson - he wasn't exactly popular during his lifetime among his own people, and subject to criticism and gossip,
especially because of his affection for women, particularly women that were not really part of the "clan..."
Gideon - "Who does he think he is, sending the rest of us home again, and how does he think he's going to win a battle
against an army with 300?"
And then the prophets... What makes you think that they were ever popular?
Look how the people rejected Me, their promised Savior, and how they resisted Paul, My greatest apostle and mightiest
tool in My hands, without whom Christendom never might have spread the way I had intended.
They were the outcasts of the outcasts... The ones considered weird and "untouchable" by those the world considered
weird and untouchable. That's why they often raised their very own crop of followers of Mine to Me. They didn't rely and
wait on the support and popularity from their ranks.
There were always those special few who chose to play the tunes that I gave them to play, that didn't always say what
others wanted to hear, but what I wanted them to hear and chew on. (III:310)

It costs a price to walk the straight and narrow path that leadeth unto life. Entrance through the door may be for free, but it
costs something to stay on that path. (III:331)

A "professional" (disciple) means someone capable of availing themselves of My Power.

Having learned that your own strength isn't enough is one of the prerequisites for being a professional disciple.
Playing games is something for kids. But when you grow up to be a man, you're supposed to lay aside childish things, as
Paul said (1Cor.13:11). Nowadays, everybody wants to play and stay a child for as long as possible. Very few are really
serious about life, much less about living their lives for Me!
That's why it often takes quite a few years until I can get a person to the point where they're willing to lay everything - all
that playing games - aside and follow Me.
It's a rough and rugged way, and often you'll be tempted to wonder, "What in the world am I doing here, anyway?" There
won't be rounds of incessant applause. It's a rough and rugged, lonely road! With so many jumping off your wagon that
you're tempted to ask the last few who remain, "Are you also going to go away?" But then there will always be a faithful
few who will end up blowing your mind, making it worth it all! (III:356)

Follow Me every day according to the new set of rules and circumstances you'll find that apply for each day in particular.
(III:369)

The lifeblood of My disciples is the Word.

Only those who cling to the Word will make it. (III:377)

Keep moving with the breath of My Spirit, and come, flow with Me! (III:378)

Youve got to do what Ive given you to do without being deterred or distracted by whats going on on your left and your
right! You cannot let it influence you when those on your left and right are stumbling or falling. If they decide to go a
different way, if they allow themselves to become lukewarm and be influenced and swayed by the System, youre still
going to have to keep going for Me!
Even if youre forsaken and betrayed by everyone around you, in the worst case scenario, as it did happen to Me.
If youre truly going to be following in My footsteps until the bitter end, youve somewhat got to be prepared for that. (III:390)

In the case of My believers and followers who know Me well, I expect them to do their part, so I dont just do the whole
magic on My own, but I have you participate as much as you can, in making it happen.
I show you where to throw the nets, but I wont throw them out for you. There is always a solution. I may make you go and
find it for yourself, but I give you a nudge in the right direction. (III:397)

Those who hang with Me become different. They become weird. You dont necessarily want to be different. Youd prefer to
fit in and blend in and just hang with everybody and chill. Well, I have chosen a different destiny for you.
Your loyalty to Me, to My voice includes showing a willingness to be left alone and isolated in some cases. (III:418)

Focus outwardly, out on the field and the flocks that are yet to be gained. The time of physical dearth will be a time of
spiritual harvest.
Tune in to My moves and come away from the distractions.
216
I need you! Thats the thought that should be driving you and spurring you on to continue to move forward.
Refuse to let the Enemy discourage you, and keep focusing on the fact that I need you!
Make it an indestructible truth you build your life and actions on: I dont care what anyone says or thinks about me or
what Im doing. All I know and care about is that Jesus needs me, for He has told me so, so Im going to do what I have to
do and what He wants me to do, no matter what.
Be so mindful of the truth that I have great need of you that nothing else matters!
I want nothing to deter you, nothing to shake your loyalty to Me, nothing to be able to waive your obedience to Me! I want
your heart and soul and mind to wholly belong to Me, be an open receptacle for Me, not for the enemys doubts and lies.
Youve come this far by faith, and it may not seem like much to you, and as far as youre concerned, it may look as though
you have come nowhere. But I see differently. I know what I have constructed in your life to be worth infinitely more than
any structure of physical and material value!
I know something you dont, and I want you to just trust Me that I know what Im doing in your life. (III:428)

Walk in My footsteps, the path of a Man Who was despised and rejected. As far as they were concerned, I wasnt anything
desirable, no one to look up to. But I had enough love to look beyond their lack of love for Me, enough love to love them
anyway, in spite of their natural lack of it. (III:447)

Do you think what I was doing during My life-time on Earth was the ordinary thing? Recruiting honest, hard-working men
away from their jobs and families for a cause that in the eyes of some, if not most, was highly questionable, and that led
Me to a public execution?
You might say that My style was certainly highly unorthodox!
Your role certainly isnt to please everybody! Its certainly not just to be another one of those popularity junkies trying to
show off how many friends they can get on MySpace! If anything, your role is to show that there is something different
than all that indeed! Theres a different way to do it, a different way to live, a different way to go than the abhorrent
normal way, which is the worst abomination in My eyes since the beginning of the world.
So, let that little bit of heat youre experiencing not perplex you, that heat of wondering, Am I alright? Am I on the right
path? Its so lonely up here. Are you sure Youre not leading me up a wrong way, Lord? Nobody else is walking it. Are
they shaking their heads at me and laughing about the odd and strange path Im taking? What is that to thee? Come thou,
follow Me, regardless of whether this is the common path, the conventional path, the normal or accepted path! Will
you follow Me up that road, even if nobody else is walking it?
Can you trust Me for it, and just take whatever comes, and just do what I lay on your heart to do, and be yourself, that
which Ive created you to be without shame and embarrassment? (III:453)

While My chosen path for this time may not look perfect, its still a whole lot better than the alternative, even if it takes faith
to believe that!
My true and chosen few have always been a peculiar and somewhat weird and chaotic bunch, compared to those who
had it together on the surface, those who made it big in the world. And on the surface, those winner types look so
much more appealing, to the extent where even some of My own people were tempted and thought, Those guys have it a
lot more together than we do. And many have left My straight but rugged, wild and narrow path for the seemingly more
sophisticated broadway to destruction that the large majority of the world is going. (III:463)

Are you living a life of service, or are you waiting to be served?

Dont seek to be served, but to serve.
I need to use you in order to make others happy. (III:467)

Youre fighting in the spiritual realm, and its purely by faith.

Its relatively easy to see when youre doing something good in the physical, but when youre trying to influence and win
the world for Me and My Cause, those who dont know Me dont always know what to make of it. (III:479)

All that really matters is that you keep your eyes on Me and keep following in My direction!
If they dont do it, what is that to thee? Come thou, follow Me! It is irrelevant to your path, what they are doing, as long as
you keep your eyes on Me and keep following Me. I didnt say to My disciples, Come follow Me, and I will teach you how to
elect new leaders among yourselves, and new idols whom you can follow after Im gone! I meant for each of them to
become individual followers of Me and individual fishers of men.
Each disciple, each follower and each fisher has to be his own, standing entity that others, those who will be caught into
the Kingdom through them, will be able to look up to, learning from them how to look unto Me and become their separate
and independent fishers of men themselves. Independent from others by learning to be fully dependent on Me. (III:490)

What the world needs above all is a sample of true Christian discipleship. (III:497)

Being a disciple of Mine is all about not following the mere natural way since the natural man or mind is at enmity with
God. (III:498)

Would you walk in My footsteps and do the same that I have done and give your life for one who betrayed you?
Would you consider their life more valuable than your own?
Will you follow Me, even if they choose to fall by the wayside? Will you continue to follow Me or use their failure as an
excuse to quit? (III:529)
217
The discipleship life is a sacrificial life-style. Until you can say that youre truly giving your all and do your best, its not
really happening Its not really the real thing, until you put your all into it. Its something you simply dont manage half-
heartedly!
Even though Ill use whatever you give Me, in order to achieve the ultimate results in your service and discipleship for Me,
it sure helps to make that commitment and have the determination at the beginning of the day, that youre going to give it
your all for Me.
Its a mindset, or rather a heart-set; an inner attitude and determination of the heart. You know My Cause is worth living
and dying for, and so, youre simply willing to give all, even unto death thats the kind of attitude that makes disciples,
and what will cause you not to shy away from unpleasant chores like cleaning the bathroom when it needs to be done,
even if you would not consider this to be your job. (III:534)

What I have promised and have put before each of My disciples is a cross, not a bed of roses.
If I ask you to take up and carry your cross, your mind should be a little more prepared for endurance and suffering, and
youve got to come away from that vacation mentality, because that is not what I have called My disciples for.
I never said, Come on, boys and girls, lets try to have as much fun as we all possibly can! That was never My message.
I can have fun, and I dont mind you having it, but it has never been My major prerogative.
Its natural to want to make it easy on yourself. Everybody does that all the time, spend their lives trying to make it as easy
on themselves as possible, or ensuring that someday theyre going to have it as easy as possible
But thats not My goal for My disciples. My prospect for My disciples has always been the cross. Take up your cross daily
and follow Me. That has been My message. Not, follow Me, and I will promise you days of ease and plenty! That sounds
more like the devils gospel. Who wants to be comfortable in a world in which Satan is wreaking such havoc? Who wants
to feel at home in it? Youre betraying My Cause if thats what your goal and incentive is, just feeling comfortable and
happy and cozy right there smack dab in the devils kingdom, accepting the way things are, never trying to change
anything, no need or reason to fight, no suffering with them that suffer, just silently bearing it all and hoping youll get
through it all unscathed. (III:543)

Taking up your cross daily and following Me and fighting on My side means conjuring up some serious self-discipline.

Folks have never understood why My disciples and missionaries throughout the ages preferred to waste their time on
perfect strangers, some savages out in the jungles, or natives to far and distant countries, or even criminals or heathen,
unbelievers and pagans; how they could be so disloyal to their own, so unpatriotic.
There are those who are trying to play the best of both worlds, who preach that you can serve God and Mammon.
The question is, who are you going to believe? Me and My Word, or them? Will you allow them to influence and sway you
with their way of thinking? Or will you remain steadfast and maintain your eyes on My goal and My path?
Youre not going to be popular if youre going to serve Me.
You wont make any sense to them, and they wont think very highly of you. Welcome to the club! Thats a decision
thousands of followers of Mine have had to make and the price theyve had to pay. You cannot please both, God and those
who serve Mammon.
If you serve God, youll be an outcast and a traitor to those who devote their lives to Mammon and the god of the flesh.

Your cross is that situation and challenge you find yourself in at any given moment. (III:547)

(III:548)

Your cross is that situation and challenge you find yourself in at any given moment. (III:557)

Its not about whats in it for you.

In the end, there is no in-between. Youll either serve God or Mammon. (III:561)

Service to Me consists of doing what you can in order to bring My Words of life to those dying spiritually all around you,
and those who dedicate their lives to that service are the ones who receive My gifts in order to help them do the job. (III:598)

There is a difference between sympathizing with My Cause, and truly going all the way in dedicating your life to fully living
it, uncompromising discipleship.
Dont be surprised or disappointed if you wont have a huge following and a big fan club.
218
The majority of the masses who followed Me only did so as long as they thought I was going to bring them some sort of
physical advantage, such as liberation from the Romans, which most of them expected the Messiah would do. Once they
saw that I was seriously clashing with the religious authorities of their System, and I wasnt going to be big and popular,
after all, you can see how even some of My closest friends pretended they didnt know Me, even if only temporarily.
A lack of applause is never a sign that youre not doing your job as a prophet.
For a prophet, a lack of applause and feedback from the System is actually a positive sign. At least it shows that what
youre saying isnt just an effort to become popular and friends with them!
Prophets arent popular. (III:599)

When I talk about professionalism Im talking about professional engagement in bringing about and furthering the cause of
My Kingdom on earth; commitment on a professional level.
When you choose a profession, youre following a certain calling, and you profess your loyalty to a certain cause.
We have the worthiest Cause in the universe for anyone to apply their energies to.
Being a professional is more than a matter of outward appearance. People can look as professional as they want to, its
still their actions that determine whether theyre anywhere near professional or not.
There are definite contrasts between worldly professionalism and professionalism for My Cause.
When I talk of professionalism, honestys a given and a requirement for being a professional disciple, as well as unity,
rather than a sense of competition and anyone trying to prove theyre better than someone else.
If anything, we want to prove that our thing is better than that rat race slavery the System is all about, and when we talk
professionalism, were talking about professionally, whole-heartedly, loving others and trying to help them find happiness.
Im trying to point out ways and possibilities of becoming more serious about this business of preaching My Gospel for a
living, and thus, professionally. (III:600)

Sometimes, in order to make it easy for My followers to begin their path for Me, I make it sound simple, like, Come, follow
Me!
But only after a while are they ready to hear some more of the details and all that it entails to follow Me: taking up their
cross, forsaking all they have and becoming an enemy to this world, because all they really care about is Me and My
Cause. (IV:6)

Comfortable isnt necessarily a criterion on My list of prerequisites.

Instead of seeking physical comfort, keep the spiritual up front, and seek to be fit, rather than comfortable! (IV:26)

Its in My interest that My representatives to the world are real and not phonies. (IV:31)

Welcome to Gods very own Club - not of the high and mighty, but of sufferers and the despised in this world! (IV:59)

The Mountain Men have settled mighty close to the fringes of the valleys of this world, and there must be those to remind
them that the valleys of this world are not their Home, and not where they belong. The chosen few are always called and
destined for the Mountain. And mountain peaks are simply never crowded. Not those spiritual mountain peaks, anyway.
Can you live with having to pay the price of being a mountain man, one of My true pioneers up on that rugged mountain
track, which many are singing about, but most are not really willing to set foot on? (IV:66)

Once youre nearing the peak of the mountain, the higher you get, the more dangerous and strenuous it becomes. You may
not know whether youre going to make it. But the only way to find out is to keep trying.
Sometimes the peak doesnt even look very promising. You wonder, So what? What benefit will I get from getting up
there? Whats the use? Sometimes all that keeps you going is the fact that I put you there, and if I said its going to work
and its going to be worth it, then youre just going to have to believe it, since your experience has taught you that I never
lie, and what I tell you has always turned out to be the truth. (IV:92)

Its a struggle to stay alive and to keep the flame burning, and to keep revoluting, and to remain a force for change, and a
source of life, and not fall into the trap of stagnation and solidification.
Your most dangerous and deadly enemies are not the kind who keep you on your heels and on guard, but those forces
which make you feel comfortable and at ease in this world, with nothing left to fight against, and pretty soon after that, not
much left to fight for, either. (IV:96)

Your job is not to preach yourself, but Me, and to serve God, not Mammon. (IV:112)

The true path is that lonely, forsaken and forgotten road that not many will travel, where their only true Companion is Me,
and the few who have walked it found out that I was truly more than enough.
You can really only make a difference for Me if you dare to let go of the conventional way of doing things and have the guts
to follow Me alone, if necessary, up a road that no one has gone up before.
The Real Thing is always unorthodox, apart from the norm, shockingly revolutionary and different. (IV:121)

Whatever it takes for you to touch peoples hearts and really bring across My message to them is what I would consider
service for Me.
I want the Gospel to be your main job, and what you take most seriously.
Remember Whos your Boss! (IV:135)
219
By living your lives for Me instead of yourselves you can finally also learn to genuinely live them for others, not to satisfy
any selfish desires and lusts, but in mutual love, and truly learning to make each other happy as you primarily seek to
please Me in your lives.
Thats the way things were ordained to be, and the path that the vast majority of people have strayed so unredeemably far
from.
Your true purpose in life is to please and serve Me, primarily, and not live for and cater to either your own selfish cravings
and lusts and desires, nor anyone elses. (IV:137)

If only one out of ten sick people came back to thank Me for healing them, you can safely assume that My true followers
wont experience any differently, since I told My disciples that they would share the same fate as I, when it comes to
popularity in this world. If they havent thanked Me, they wont thank You, either.
But I will. And I will repay and more than make up for whatever you have invested in My work in making it possible for
people to catch a glimpse of the Real Me. (IV:141)

Step One in discipleship is receiving the instructions, and Step Two is getting the machinery of well-oiled communication
going through prayer. Prayer will then help you get the necessary spiritual help to put feet to those prayers and perform
the action that comes so hard to do in the flesh.
The first step toward really getting things done is asking Me to do it through you, or to help you do it!
Its the act of sending up the request that will pump down the necessary power for you to do all that you can do. (IV:170)

Even among the small minority of those who happen to find the Real Thing in life, yet only another chosen few are actually
useful in promoting My Cause and causing the treasure they found or are found by to bring dividends by sharing it with
others in a way that will truly profit them, not in a show-off type of way, nor in a haphazardly sort of way, as if saying,
Here, swallow this, if you can handle it, but with love and in full appreciation of the value of their treasure.
And even less are those who commit their entire lives to this Cause without tiring from it, nor veering from that straight
and narrow and rugged path
Who will embrace My treasure and recognize it for what its worth, willing to give everything they own in order to obtain it?
Who is ready to put it at the top of the list of their priorities in life and make My Cause their cause, My concerns theirs, and
My truth, My reality their own?
Who will be My people, My chosen ones who will have chosen not to settle for anything less than the Real Thing? (IV:186)

Im not nearly as concerned about keeping your life comfortable as I am about keeping it revolutionary.
I like to shake people up, rather than keep them in comfortable ruts. (IV:203)

Thats the whole difference between My disciples and the folks who just obediently trot along in the rhythm of this world:
you know youre ultimately under My authority, and when the point comes that what theyre asking of you doesnt jibe
anymore with My will for you, thats where youve got to take the stance My early apostles did, that We ought to obey God
rather than men.
Being a real and complete disciple of Mine also includes sharing and preaching My stance on the world.
Relationship with Me sooner or later will have to include the aspects of My relationship with the world, because one thing
has not changed about relationship with Me since the Bible: Friendship with the world is still enmity with God.
If youre never addressing any of the social injustices, and act as if I am forever going to tolerate whats going on, never
will return to judge the world and reclaim My bride from among them, then what sort of alternative to the System is that?
And what sort of hope does it offer to those who are absolutely sick and tired of the System sick and tired unto death
so sick of it theyre ready to commit suicide?
What about My love for those who are starving each day or dying from wounds of war or disease because of the social
injustices your own government commits?
If youre not going to speak out against any evils, youre not doing a very efficient job as a prophet or spokesman of Mine,
because I have a lot to say on those issues as well.
I need people who are going to let the world know that I am not in favor of them, much less responsible for them.
Luke 14:33 is still a requirement for My disciples that hasnt changed. (IV:218)

Being a good Christian and fighter for My Cause is more manifested in the things you do than what you dont do.
Its not so much anymore about rules that may not be broken and negatives you should avoid, as it is about things you
should do and actually positive actions that should be on every believers schedule:
To do unto others as you would have them do to you, to go into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature, to
love your neighbor as thyself, etc.
Real Christianity, the way I originally intended it, is virtually unheard of in this day and age. Most of what youve got to go
by are all these pretenses and fake versions of it, and no wonder you feel weird and odd if you try your feet at going for the
Real Thing. (IV:232)

Youre proving that its not necessary for people to take upon their own shoulder the Devils load and the heavy yoke of the
System, and that living the way I said in My Word is still possible today: My disciples can still take My light burden and
easy yoke upon them in this day and age, and not live under the pressure of the burden the Enemy would like to heap
upon them and enslave them with. (IV:238)

220
Im trying to establish a definite distinction between your personal relationship with Me and your relationship with any
group of people that claims to be following Me.
Im not immediately responsible for the degree to which they actually follow and obey Me and are the samples theyre
supposed to be.
I have given them Promises of things that they would become if indeed they follow Me and keep My commandments, but
its up to the personal choices of each individual whether theyre going to determine to belong to that special group of
chosen ones who have chosen Me above all else. (IV:252)

Thats the big difference between all My most noble saints and closest followers, and the vast majority of people that ever
lived: they dont kowtow to the eternal scheme of survival above all.
They know that there is something better and greater than this life, and thus the loss of this present one isnt all as tragic
as its made out to be. They have a more tranquil attitude toward death; theyre not scared stiff of it, and thus dont
struggle so hard to preserve their life at all cost, but are willing to sacrifice and willing to take risks for Me and dare to do
things that people driven by fear would never do.
In My eyes its definitely commendable when someone dares to be different, even if that being different may not exactly
ensure his being accepted by any number of people
Ive always been on the lookout for those who were more concerned about My acceptance of them, and whether they
please Me, than trying to please any amount of people.
Trying to please people is such a futile effort, and yet its all that many people live for. Whereas living in a manner that
pleases Me is the ultimate challenge in life, and it becomes all the more challenging, exactly because its so much more
tempting to try to please your peers instead. (IV:254)

Has it ever been easy to be a follower of Mine? Or is it perhaps that its just a mindset of these times youre living in, that
life is supposed to be easy and always enjoyable with hardly any obstacles, adversities and hardships to overcome?
Remember that My greatest Promises are made to the overcomers. But how can you be an overcomer, if there is nothing to
ever overcome? And in order to overcome it, you have to strive, and struggle and fight and make an effort to do so. Its not
supposed to be some feat you accomplish perfectly at ease without making any efforts and without any strain.
How are you supposed to gain any strength without ever making any effort?
Do you really want to make the choice to take the easier way?
Or could it be that the harder way always having the assurance that Ill never make it too hard for you is actually the
better option for you in the long run? (IV:256)

If you want to follow in My footsteps, you need to learn what it means, The greatest among you must be the servant of
all. (IV:268)

Are you still conscious of the choice you have made when you decided to follow Me, and the price it would entail, namely
that which I have promised each of My followers from the beginning: a cross like Mine? No crown without that cross!
(IV:280)

Those are few who live life to the full in all aspects, the way I intended to give it to My disciples. (IV:281)

One of My overall instructions has always been for each to find My will and strategy for their personal situation. (IV:299)

Forsaking all is just what it means and what its talking about: a-l-l. Sooner or later everyone is going to have to let it all go,
even if its tough, and the sooner and the earlier you learn that, the better. Even if it may feel somewhat like dying, just like
your ultimate death, its not something you should see as a bad thing, but as a door that is going to take you to better,
greater things. (IV:308)

Being not of this world means being crushed, reduced to nothing and no one as far as theyre concerned, becoming the
type of person that knows what it means to truly have nothing left to lose
Its good that you remember that youre nothing but a fugitive in this world A fugitive from Prison Planet, and on your
way to a better Home World (IV:321)

Its a heavy burden to be hated by the world, but its one youre simply going to have to get used to in the light of unfolding
Endtime events. Its what makes you partakers of My sufferings, and bearers of My cross, the same cross I carried.
Only fighting on My side and staying faithful to Me and My Cause is what brings eternal rewards. It doesnt really matter
whether your character is flawless or not, or how wrong whatever you do may come across to be, as long as you stick to
Me, youre on the right side.
Your plight may seem to be the harder one right now, but it will not be in the long run. The betrayed by this world, the
despised and forsaken, will always be the comforted in the next. (IV:324)

Its time to ask yourself the question, whom do you really want to follow? Me or your own ideas, ambitions and desires?
Theres a difference between putting Me first in discipleship and trusting Me for your needs, and chasing after the objects
of your affections and simply trying to drag Me along in it (IV:336)

My alternative options often strike My believers and followers as strange, foreign and somewhat alien to their own, but
then have you ever regretted following Me someplace where it was truly Me Who guided you?
221
Do you think you might ever regret following Me someplace where My Love is guiding you? Do you think its something to
be scared of, something you ought to distrust? Or have I not rather always given you back something better in return for
whatever I have taken from you or asked you to give up? (IV:387)

That's what life for Me and the Gospel is all about: passing on that information that might bring folks to the conclusion that
it just might be smarter to prepare for the afterlife, that's beyond this one... (IV:396)

The majority of folks who live only for the enjoyment of the day may be largely oblivious to becoming purified and purged
in order to enter into a closer relationship with Me. But this is the road you chose when you said you were going to follow
Me instead of the ways of the world.
Its not the road to immediate success and laughter, but a road that leads to what I would call lasting success and
accomplishment, and a true inner joy and happiness that lasts forever. (IV:407)

You have to decide and declare who is going to be the master of your universe: is it going to be your circumstances, your
doubts and all the adversities, or is it going to be Me?
Being a follower of Mine means to be walking in My footsteps, walking a mile in My shoes, sharing some of the same
experiences. It shows and teaches you that Im real, and not altogether that different from you.
In the long run youll just come to the inevitable conclusion that this world is not your home and you dont really belong
there, but you are of a better Place I have prepared for you, and thats where youre going, leaving the large bulk of them
behind, even though you might eventually meet them again
Not of this world? Cheer up, youre not alone! (IV:420)

Sometimes the road I lead you down in life may look a little rough, wild, and perhaps questionable to you, and youre prone
to wonder whether Im leading you up a good and proper trail, but thats where trust comes in, and you ought to know by
now that what I choose for you is good. (IV:474)

Retain the vision that youre here because you have a mission and a purpose for Me to fulfill, the commission to go into all
the world and spread My Good News
I wouldnt want you to forget that you do have a job for Me to do. (IV:481)

There really isnt all that much for you to worry about. There is merely some following to do, some listening, and some
watching for where I will lead you, some knocking on doors, and looking out for signs and signals, of confirmations that
will say, This is the way, walk ye in it.
All you really need to do is follow Me and not allow the enemy to divert you.
You need to stay on the course of learning to discern My voice from his, to distinguish My leadings from his temptations
and distractions. (IV:482)

Everybodys got their load, their cross and their burden to bear, especially those who set out to follow in My footsteps.
Too many folks just want Me to do all kinds of things for them without ever being willing to pay any sort of price for
discipleship. Theyve forgotten what it really means to be a disciple, and that I promised persecution and a cross to My
followers, just as I had to suffer persecution and pain. (IV:500)

Since you have chosen to follow and obey Me and seek My highest will for you, you must also grant Me the right to differ
when you happen to have personal preferences that dont coincide with Mine

If I asked you to follow Me, you must have assumed that there was going to be someplace to go, and somewhere to follow
Me to!

My path is just going to lead them in the opposite direction of where most of them want to go, which is up the ladder of
success toward fame and fortune, when Mine is the road of forsaking all, denying yourself and taking up your cross
(IV:159)

Ask yourself the question, whom do you really want to follow? Me, or your own ideas, ambitions and desires? Theres a
difference between putting Me first in discipleship, trusting Me for your needs, and chasing after the objects of your
affections and simply trying to drag Me along in it (IV:336)

The truth is, by comparison, a rough and rugged road which only relatively few are willing to follow. (2011:9)

Flesh and blood off-spring does not necessarily always make for very good disciples, and raising children and making
disciples are two different things. You must love and support and nourish your kids even if they never choose to be
disciples, and trust that I will bring in the disciples by some other means and from some other place.
They must hear the call for themselves, you cannot implant it in them, or take for granted that theyll hear the same call
you did (2011:10)

Maybe I want to teach you an even greater grade of dependence on Me by leading you to independence from things you
currently may deem yourself dependent on.

222
Maybe theres really more to the truth and magic of forsaking all, and why it is necessary to be My disciple than meets the
eye
Maybe the less excess weight you drag around with you, the more pleasant your trip is actually going to be
Instead of allowing those things to weigh you down and act like burdens to your mind, just enjoy the newly found freedom
and lightness with which you can go through life
Pioneer efforts have never really been accomplished by always sticking to the same old counsel and habits that everyone
else has already been following all along, but by breaking with the traditional views and ways of doing things.
My own life and words are the best possible example for that, and if you take that to heart, instead of mans wisdom on
how to best accumulate things, then youll fall into the category of world changers of the sort that all My true disciples
throughout history have been
Let Me emphasize a little more on the benefits and advantages of the forsaking all factor, which is one of the principal
requirements for true discipleship today just as much as ever.
Some things and truths never change, and thats simply one of them. Youve got to have room in your life for Me to fill it if
you want to be a follower and disciple of Mine; theres just no way around it (2011:15)

The truth is, you cant do it without Me. I said this to My disciples and Ill say it to anyone wholl try to follow Me in this evil
day and age: Without Me you can do nothing.
I know you like to do things and I know you know that youve got to do something, but what matters is that you do it with
Me. Do it with Me! How about that for an easy to remember slogan, too important to forget? (2011:17)

Hold on to My hand, and youll see that Im leading you somewhere! My track isnt just going to land you nowhere, but
there is a goal and destination to be reached!
Even though you cant see exactly what the goal is, at least you can trust Me that there is one, and that I know and see it,
and that its really Me leading you there.
Keep walking ahead with the firm vision and knowledge that I am leading you someplace! (2011:30)

Disciples are rare. Theyre not the same as the general believers or whoever call themselves Christians. They go a step
further; in fact, they go all the way. They dont just sit at the Masters feet and listen, but theyre the ones who will go into
all the world themselves and will employ any means at their disposal in order to pass on what theyve heard and learned.
Theyre the teachers who pass on what theyve learned from the Master. (2011:36)

Remember what Ive told My disciples: if theyve rejected and hated Me, theyll hate you, too, if youre My true disciples.
(2011:38)

While I dont want My disciples, followers and believers to suffer ceaselessly, is it too much to ask that you should become
partakers of My sufferings in whichever way I deem tolerable and bearable for you? (2011:53)

I cant save the world on My own without at least a few folks willing to follow in My footsteps as opposed to all My
supposed followers who consider following Me nothing more than just leading ordinary, selfish little lives. (2011:56)

If, after all, I asked all of you, My followers, to even love your enemies, its true: if you were able to love your enemies the
way you should, then youd certainly have less of a hard time loving anyone and accepting and taking them where theyre
at. (2011:69)

I allow you to reach those natural limits of yours, so that you will avail yourself of Me and whats Mine to give you.
Thats why I told My followers, I am the Bread of life, or told them that I would give them water thats better than what
they pulled out of the well; that I was the Light of the world: a better Source of those natural resources they turn to for their
substance and survival.
What I was saying was, Eat Me, and youll never be hungry again; drink Me and youll never thirst; abide in My light and
you will walk no more in darkness
Im all that you need and more. (2011:78)

So many Christians are in love with Me, and yet so few ever really follow Me. The romance quickly dwindles at the sight
of Golgotha and the cross that inevitably comes in sight when one seriously sets out to follow in My footsteps. (2011:79)

No man that warreth entangleth himself in the affairs of this life. If youre not happy, its most likely due to the fact that
youve lost sight of the goal Ive put before every true follower of Mine. The key factor that allowed all My true martyrs and
witnesses to live and die and endure hardship happily was that they fought for another cause than merely their own
survival: the cause of bringing the hope of a better life and future to others.
Thats where happiness comes from, not finding your own little personal spot where you can live happily. (2011:107)

It wasnt and has never been a spirit of ambition in which I worked, but a spirit of love. Acquiring a spirit of love requires a
laying down those personal, ambitious agendas first, since they dont jibe. They cannot function together. You either have
one or the other. Thats why I told My disciples that theyd have to choose between either serving God or Mammon.
(2011:110)

As a follower of Mine it behooves you to follow in My foot-steps without murmuring, without wishing you had it better.
(2011:149)
223
Salvation and discipleship was a choice to let Me choose the best things for you. (2012:2)

If youre going to follow through on this path, youre going to have to be willing to appear as the loser temporarily, as did I.
(2012:6)

If you follow Me, the personification of Gods mercy on mankind in the flesh, what else would you want to be, but merciful
and compassionate? (2012:10)

If you want to be like Me in this world and truly follow in My footsteps, you will be like I am: truly and endlessly loving and
forgiving. (2012:11)

Trust and follow My leadings, even if you may not understand them fully! (2012:12)

Discipleship doesnt have anything to do with a group of people, or membership in an organization, but solely relies on My
relationship with you.
Its gotta be Me youre following, not some group, some mighty leader or any kind of person!
Circumstances, as far as this present world is concerned, are growing bleaker by the minute, and such unfavorable
circumstances call for direct leadership by Me and a channel with Me that will enable you to get all you need straight from
Me. (2012:17)

I like to encourage those who wish to follow Me to view their own worth and value differently than those who base their
feelings of self-worth on the amount of money they earn. Lets just say Id expect My disciples, followers and serious
believers to be a little deeper than that. (2012:75)

Discipleship is not really for those who strive, seek and need to be popular. (2012:85)

Come and see and taste if the Lord is good, and My way of life, such as I have prescribed it for all My true followers of all
ages, is still the best! (2012:87)

Start preparing yourself to get out of that money-making groove and embrace the kind of life-style I showed My disciples
to lead
One thats geared to winning souls, instead of just chasing paper, getting nowhere, really, just fending for your own
survival, day in, day out. (2012:90)

Its easier when theres a positive example you can follow, of someone doing what should be done. It certainly helps. But
when that isnt there, youve got to see My example by faith, and that of others who have followed in My footsteps. (2012:91)

I probably wouldnt have made many enemies if I would have just encouraged the fishers and a tax collector to stick to
their jobs instead of calling them to follow Me to preach a different Kingdom. (2012:92)

Why do you think I challenged My disciples to quit and leave their jobs and follow Me instead? Why else would I have said,
you cannot serve God and Mammon? And now those are words that will continue to withstand the tests of time,
regardless of the numbers of new interpretations and excuses for exceptions.
If you want to serve Me, you had better serve Me, and stop wasting your life chasing after money, just like everybody else.
I may temporarily allow you to do it, but it doesnt mean that this represents My ideal of a life-style for you, no matter how
times have changed and everybody thinks its the way to go nowadays.
When the opportunity arises to let go of all that and do what you were really meant to, well, then thats your chance to
make a difference! (2012:97)

What the kind of people who claim to be following in My footsteps should primarily be known for love.
Why not do some of the stuff that your faith, your religion, your belief and your God are supposed to be all about? Its like a
muscle that has to be trained. (2012:116)

Forgiving your brides sins and mistakes is the closest thing to walking a mile in My shoes and getting a taste of what Im having
to do just about constantly, that you could ever ask for. So, if you want to follow in My footsteps, then thats the way to go
(2012:119)

Can you keep following Me, even if this isnt exactly the kind of road you had expected that it would be for you?
What did you think came guaranteed in this life of discipleship? That you were always going to keep up the same old routine? Or
did I say through My prophet that the one thing that was guaranteed in this life was constant change?
So, how much are you still up for that? How well can you still take that challenge? (2012:127)

Its a Kingdom; and the purpose of its citizens is to serve the King.
There were times when there was nothing strange about that concept, whatsoever, and people have done it for millennia:
They served their kings and queens and sovereigns in battle and in doing their parts as citizens. Now, those werent
always situations where everyone was treated fairly, and that is the difference between those worldly reigns and Mine; but
it doesnt change anything about the fact that, basically, theres nothing wrong with a life of service.
224
Nowadays, its peoples goal to acquire positions in which theyre being served, instead of having to serve others.
Its in My interest that those who serve Me do so happily, comfortably, and according to their capacities and talents. I want
My servants to be fulfilled in their tasks for Me. Besides, as I have told My disciples, you are not just servants, but My
friends. (2012:131)

You just dont find it in yourself to do good. You only find it in Me. You need the mantle of My Power to do it.
Its because it means death to self, pride and the flesh. Its taking up your cross and following in My footsteps, not the ways of the
world, where everyone seeks their own advance. What you seek on My path is the salvation of those you come across, and what
you store up as you do, is not corruptible goods and fruit, but invisible, lasting fruit. (2012:137)

Broken people have the advantage that theyre largely done with what this world has to offer them, and so theyre more
ready to truly serve Me and be a true disciple along the definitions of Luke 14:33. (2012:151)

What else can you do but keep going and walking on this road youve begun, you figure, sort of like Peter, when he said,
where else shall we go? My true friends and followers throughout the ages have always been those who didnt have
anywhere else to go; nowhere else where theyd find what they were looking for. (2012:152)

Do you still think you need an excuse for existing?

Well, as long as you follow Me, you pretty much fulfill that purpose, I can assure you of that. (2012:156)

Many times you adopt to whatever drift others are bringing along into your life, which make you deny and betray all that
weve shared and had together: values, ideals, common goals, dreams, visions and aims to which I thought youd
subscribed, promised and vowed to follow Me unto the end, until wed find them
Do you get the point why it is endlessly more important to listen to Me for the decisions in your life on where to go and
what to do? (2012:162)

If youre truly to follow in My footsteps, youre going to have to put up with a little suffering. (2012:167)

If you want to follow in My footsteps, be inclusive, not exclusive! (2012:169)

Show what you have learned in following My direct guidance and see where it will land you!
Sometimes I have to lead you up the wrong end (usually because thats where you wanted to go) to let you find out where
its not at, so that from there you might find out where its really at - At least for you. (2012:179)

The life of a disciple and a follower is that of one who lays down his own life for the good of others, and people should be
able to feel that when theyre around you.
I know there arent that many visible examples you can follow when it comes to that, but hey, thats what youve got Me for,
and carrying Me with you anywhere you go inside your heart. (2012:185)

Ive warned you that if they rejected Me, theyd reject you, too, if you follow in My footsteps, and that rejection is a sign of
the veracity of your discipleship, not to make you feel bitter or resentful, but honored by the privilege. Humbly take it as
part of both the price and reward of genuine discipleship. (2013:22)

Having experienced the thrills of discipleship, the ordinary life-style naturally leaves you frustrated, like a mountain
climber doomed to live his days in the valley, or a bird with clipped wings (2013:26)

The gist and hard core of My truly genuine followers is only a small minority among the large majority of them, and you
have the option here of choosing to value the privilege of becoming one of them, above the more commonly traveled path
of financial and other kinds of security.
The spiritual elite among My followers is not the kind that put the large part of their confidence in the same things the
world puts theirs in; and you know that My definition of elite differs drastically from its worldly counterparts.
Having large sums of money and putting your trust and confidence in that, certainly doesnt make you special, different or
outstanding, according to the criteria of My Book. Having faith to launch out on little or nothing now, thats a different
story! (2013:27)

I have come to free people from the curse of their sins, and its your job, as a professing follower and disciple of Mine, to
carry that liberating torch of truth to them, and theres really nothing sadder in the whole world than someone who could
bring light and Salvation to so many others, but simply wont, because he thinks its hardly worth the attempt. (2013:50)

One lesson for My true disciples is to raise Me in their hearts, minds and desires above the level of money Its not the
most important thing in your lives, and not what you ought to be working for most of the time
Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature was My message and it still is to My disciples (2014:37)

As a child of God, follower and disciple, you should keep it in mind that you ought to follow Me, and try not to make any
moves without Me. (2014:82)

225
Keep in mind that the style and way of life blessed by God, as one of My disciples, is not only living for oneself and
accomplishing good works only for ones own folks and family! (2014:85)

Following Me and going My way includes the lesson that youre not the only one who deserves love, but you can be
humble enough to give some of that love to others. (2014:91)

Isnt love the most important part of being a follower and disciple of Mine? (2014:97)

Being a follower of Mine means, seeking My will more, instead of your own
Try to follow Me and to let Me lead and guide you according to My will, instead of just mainly your own! (2014:99)

Its not an easy way to follow Me, and many have chosen to forsake and leave that way these days. Not everybody makes
it, for there are many temptations and trials that make the way of the world easier Following the way of faith until the end
is not necessarily all that easy. (2014:102)

There are more important things about life than just making money or having fun, especially if youre My disciple and
follower, I mean: following Me, the One Who died on the cross for all humanity whoever of it chooses to accept Me and
believe in Me.
If there was a bit to suffer for Me, the Son of God when I was on Earth, you, as My acclaimed follower, shouldnt complain
too much when youre having to go through some similar suffering I, and many other followers of Mine had to go through.
(2014:106)

Not just what you want counts, but if youre My disciple and follower indeed, what I want from you, and go where I want
you to go.
As a disciple and follower of Mine, your witnessing is pretty much your most important job for Me. (2014:123)

For true believers, the will of God is something greater than their own; and its one of the great differences between them
and those living for their worldly life alone.
If you can follow Me, then follow Me especially away from your own selfishness and desires, because My goals are and
always have been elsewhere. (2014:143)

To get out the message that will save others who would receive Me once they find out how to, and what it means is pretty
much the meaning and purpose of life for those who once decided to follow Me! (2014:153)

Start serving Me instead of yourself and your own wants and needs! (2014:154)

Dont feel at home in this world? Dont let it trouble you! Not feeling at home there is not a bad thing for those who were
called to be My disciples and followers.
Get back to preaching the Gospel and helping folks to gain eternal life through receiving Me. After all, thats what I came to
this world for, and thats why I chose you (along with others) to follow Me. (2014:164)

You consider your fate a rough and a cruel one. But trust Me that many of My followers endured a much tougher fate, and
yet without any murmuring!
Dont you think that as a follower of Mine you should get used to putting up with a bit of a tough time?
I mean, as a follower of Gods Son in the world currently run by His enemy, who also had Me killed? (2014:167)

Keep the fact in mind that youve been somewhat failing to do the job youre supposed to as a follower and disciple of
Mine, and that youve had to be corrected somehow and made aware of that fact, and the need for a change in you!
(2014:197)

Following Me means keeping your eyes and ears open about where Im leading you, and of course going in that direction.
The fact that you dont feel at home right where you are, is most likely related to the fact that I want My followers to trust
Me, and not the System for their survival. Following Me means something different than following the System and the way
most folks take their course, where the material gains of life play the leading role. (2014:198)

Just keep following Me as much as you can! Try to find My leading and guidance as much as you can, try to hear Me and
listen to Me by paying all the attention possible to Me, continue trusting Me and youre going to make it, I promise. (2014:204)

Sometimes, as rough and as tough as life can be for a believer in the Father and Me and a follower of Mine, its not
supposed to be a stunt for you to make it as nice and pretty as you can, but being a follower of Mine also includes being
able to put up with the unpleasant parts of life without complaining about them, and just taking whatever comes as
something your faith ought to be able to deal with! (2015:1)

So, life is rough for you at the moment Well, so has it been for a lot of true followers of Mine, and it might just be a bit
more of a signal that youre actually following Me and youre on My path. (2015:34)

Remember the job ones supposed to do when they decided to follow Me, and the tasks of discipleship!
226
You know that many have failed to follow Me, and some who did temporarily, petered out eventually. And since you sound
like you want to stay in My gear, and not depart from My way, try to do all you can thats part of it and the things in it you
should, like winning others to Me and be a good witness... not fail the job of discipleship. Even if it got a bit harder in the
meantime. (2015:39)

Following Me, you should know that its not only fun time when youre having to fight against the current ruler of this globe
as one of My followers and fighting servants. (2015:49)

Thats My disciples and followers task during their earthly lives: to accomplish as much for others as they can, to
heighten their possibility to make it Up Here, to My Home as well, instead of having to learn some lessons in the other
place. (2015:55)

One of the things of being a disciple of Mine and the Fathers servant: Is it supposed to be all according to your own will,
or according to His? Part of being a disciple is surrendering ones own will to the Father. (2015:70)

In a world taken over by the enemy because of most peoples choices to favour what he does and has to offer, following
Me means, youre one of the few not following him! (2015:72)

Its a rough time for followers of Mine, and the enemy has really worked on a pretty messed up situation worldwide thats
making it pretty tough for you guys right now but then, maybe its also a clue and a hint that you hold on more tightly to
Me, and not just lean on your own availabilities and capacities, no matter how great theyve once been!
Just keep hanging on to Me for leading and guidance, and try to make sure as you can that where youll wind up will be
exactly where I want you to! In other words, making sure youre following Me and My leadings and guidance for your path,
not just your own ideas or desires! Follow Me!
Do all that you can to stay on My track! (2015:76)

Try to be a giver of love and of My message of Salvation to those who might not have it yet, and remember this as the
purpose of life for those who believe in, and especially those who claim to follow Me! (2015:82)

Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature is some good instruction for My true followers. It
doesnt say, and find a place to make your home for the rest of your lives! (2015:85)

Thats what makes true followers of Mine stick out: not managing to be accepted by those who just feel at home in that
world taken over by Our enemy! (2015:100)

Remember the fact that My disciples are not of this world! (2015:108)

Life is rough, and not constantly something you ought to expect being like a vacation!
Thats not the attitude My disciples had, except for Judas, maybe, and you know what end he found!
So, fight to become a better and true disciple, and not like those who only thought of what was going to be in it for them!
(2015:112)

Remember that to be humble is one of the requirements for those who serve and follow Me! (2015:132)

Make as sure as you can to help others to make it to Heaven, rather than neglecting that main job of a disciple!
Neglecting that task and job would always leave you with a strong gear of feeling, If I only had So, how about making
all the efforts you can, to do that most important job for Me?
Try not to fail that job and task Ive given My disciples and followers to do, but do your best to accomplish getting as many
Up Here as you can!
Remember your job, your task and your purpose, and do all you can not to fail them! (2015:133)

Let Me provide to you My leading and guidance! Once youre following Me, youll also receive help and provision from Up
Here. (2015:136)

Life isnt all about fun and having your desires and lusts fulfilled its about learning some lessons, and, as My disciple,
about helping others to find Me and life ever after in Heaven thereby.
You notice that the world isnt where its at, and that gives the fact some sense and reason that I call My disciples and
followers out of the world.
Being not of this world means you believe in something better, a better Home waiting for you. (2015:145)

You need to remember whats your highest original job and calling in following Me and being My disciple: To help others to
find Me and My Salvation!
So, try to remember that job for My disciples and followers!
Sharing a bit more of Heaven with the folks around you thats what life of My disciples and followers is largely supposed
to be all about. (2015:149)

227
Life down there for My followers isnt just for their sake of enjoying it and having a good time, like a permanent vacation,
but to win as many to Me and Heaven as possible, so that they dont all have to wind up in the enemys place when its all
over!
Leaning on their own capacities may make folks feel better about themselves and their own productivity, but as a follower
of Mine, there are other and different standards expected that you learn to obtain and operate by. Lean on Me, not yourself
or your own strengths and capacities! (2015:150)

Its time to get back to the true purpose of your life as My follower: winning souls!
Thats what its supposed to be all about, as a follower of Mine! (2015:151)

Going through battles is more of the life-style of followers of Mine.

Life cannot be all pleasure for followers of Mine in a world run by our enemy! (2015:155)

I told My disciples to love their enemies.

Its a challenge, but if youre a follower of My example, you should keep trying to manage it, at least to love whoever you
can, even those who chose to be your enemies. (2015:160)

Remember My coming down to Earth to ultimately die for all of you! And remember that as a follower of Mine, your gear
and path is somewhat supposed to be like that living a bit for the sake and happiness of others!
Theres more to being a true follower, disciple and sample of Mine than just being a sermon and to preach, right?
Are you willing and determined enough to do what you can in order to improve your sample, and become one a bit closer
to whats supposed to represent Me and an example of Love and Salvation that should be a major part and goal of My
followers lives and example? (2015:184)

To be accepting what life brings and offers you instead of complaining about it and failing to see Our Love and Wisdom in
it, and accordingly, turn away from the path of following Me, I know is a tough test for you, but believe Me that I appreciate
your willingness to trust in and follow Me anyway, just because the thing that sounds worse is the alternative and refusal
of discipleship and following Me in spite of anything that might happen
The readiness to keep following Me in spite of anything Trust Me: Thats good news! (2015:202)

Make it your job down there to get as many folks interested in that Future Home of yours, so that theyll develop a desire to
come Up Here, too, and receive Me, in order to do so, and help them get their soul saved A part of the job as a follower of
Mine.
Trying to get others to come Up Here, too, is pretty much the main part of the job of being My disciple, so something you
should just strive hard not to neglect! (2015:226)

Ones got to take, accept and handle whatever life brings.

Ive had to do it, too, even with all My Power at My disposal on Earth, and true followers of Mine, and thus, true members of
My heavenly family, have to prepare for something similar. (16:3)

Thats pretty much what the job of My true followers and disciples is all about: Share Heaven! With whoever you can!
(16:25)

To offer the option of the better Hereafter is what I came down to Earth for, and all My followers should stick to!
Stick to that calling and purpose of My disciples! Stick to Love, and that great purpose for all My followers, and I promise
you wont be disappointed by what youll reap from what youll have sown!
So, do all that you can, not to neglect that job and calling and purpose I gave and continue giving to My disciples and
followers, so that you wont have to regret having neglected that major purpose of My followers lives!
Thou shalt love The major purpose for living, and the greatest task of My disciples and those who wish to follow Me.
(16:46)

To be open for and dependent on My leadership is a very important for folks following Me! Disciples have to get into the
gear of following My guidance and directions! (16:52)

Following Me means learning to go the unselfish, sacrificial way. (16:62)

Its so important that those who follow Me in this day and age realize that theyre the ones supposed to make a difference
and ignite the only source of hope in others that theres something better to come than what the world has to offer right
now. (16:67)

The one of My disciples who was in charge of money turned out to be My traitor.
So, being tabbed to it, and letting it run your life is definitely not a good sign for true disciples of Mine. (16:78)

As long as a follower of Mine still feels at home in that world and attached to a worldly job in order to make money and
care about his own survival, it somehow doesnt work so well; how can he offer a better Home to others? (16:145)

228
Christian disciples have always been named useless by their productive worldly counterparts. Its the big difference
between doing Gods work and the work of the flesh: The enemy certainly wont cease from letting folks know about their
worldly uselessness when theyve decided to serve Me and the Father. It just doesnt combine with the worldly grooves.
(16:146)

My true followers have usually been the unusual types! Not doing what everybody else does or the way they do it, but
unusual things and stuff. (16:151)

Being a follower of Mine definitely requires the readiness to be prepared for hard times, not just seek enjoyment. (2016:154)

My true followers are followers of Truth which is becoming rarer and rarer in this world run by the master and king of lies
and his followers. (2016:163)

What people who want to follow Me and be a disciple of Mine should learn from My Life on Earth, along with those of My
early disciples except for Judas, who was obsessed and partly possessed by the devil, and thus, more interested in
money than in what Ive had to say is that making money is not what should rule their motivations, but doing good to the
world around them.
Not investing their physical efforts in earning money, but spreading My message and through it winning souls to My
Kingdom should be learned to do by those who want to follow Me with the final step of the enemy being that of converting
cash into his mark that those who will subject themselves to his leadership will have to receive when hell take over the
rulership of the entire world as the Antichrist, meaning that hell wipe out all those he can who wont receive his mark.
(2016:172)

Giving others a chance to make it Up Here is the main purpose of life for My disciples. (2016:176)

Failing to do My job for My disciples is a huge failure with vast consequences.

- A little taste of hell for you to realize what youre failing to make efforts to save others from.
If you dont want to be guilty of that, do all you can to resist the devil from his weakening and hindrance to do it!
Its the one thing it pays even if it may cost the most, too to resist and fight against! Stop stopping him from doing your
and all true disciples job for Me!
The meaning, sense and purpose of life for Gods children and My Disciples is to offer that golden opportunity of
everlasting life hereafter that you have, and have been able to tell you do from the blessings youve been able to enjoy in
life. If those blessings come to a halt, its a result of your failure to share them. (2016:185)

Remember thats the main job of being My disciple: to follow Me! (17:20)

Its important to be sure of the right and proper motivation in My followership. (17:37)

To learn to deal with whats coming is one of the big lessons of life I also had to go through the night before My crucifixion.
So, as a follower of Mine, just be thankful for not having to end up like that, or for the times you dont, even if the
circumstances arent perfect! (17:40)

Keep your vision on the goal of sharing your faith! - Making it grow first of all, in spite of all that surrounds you, to the
extent where it will have an influence on others! Thats what My disciples are supposed to be like. (17:65)

Theres a task for you and a purpose for Me to accomplish. - Even if it may seem like a tough one to you. But wasnt Mine
also?
So, followers of Mine should remember theyre followers of the One-with-the-tough-task! (17:103)

If the conditions youre confronted with make you feel - and seem - poor what did I seem and look like? Certainly not like
a rich man. So, be a true follower of Mine, and not ashamed of it! (17:138)

True followers of Mine are exceptional cases.

Because of whos in charge and the fact that folks down there inherit a lot of the habits from their boss, you can tell
that those truly following Me are a tiny minority in comparison. But that makes them all the more special. (17:139)

229
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Doubt

O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:31

The simple act of drinking in and receiving and believing the Word is already an active part of fighting the devil, as you will
defeat doubts, thoughts of the enemy, clearing out his cobwebs and keeping your mind and heart clean of any of his dirt.
Now ye are clean through the Words which I have spoken unto you. (I:12)

Doubts are thoughts from hell. (I:32)

I can show you areas in your life you could improve in, especially your area of trust. Stop doubting My ability to save you!
(I:76)

Quit listening to the devil and believing the lies he tells you about yourself or others.
Im right behind you, and theres nothing the punk can ever do to harm you. He only will keep trying if he senses that
theres doubt in your heart. He only has power over you through any seeds he has sown in your heart that youve allowed
to grow there. But if your garden is clean and strong, filled with My life-giving Word, and youre in tune with Me, he can do
nothing! (I:171)

To look for details that arent so in My Word is one of the devils oldest tricks. Hath God said so? Ye shall not surely
die! And he was right: they didnt. At least not right away. But the punishment was there, and I tell you, it was worse for
them than death. When death finally came for Adam and Eve, it was like sweet relief from the pain and suffering they had
brought upon themselves and the whole World by choosing to believe the devils lie over My Word.
So, the devil will always find something I said he can point his finger at and gleefully say, See? Not true! to get you to
discard the whole message, so you wont believe and receive it, but rather believe his version. But youll be the one
suffering the consequences. Whether youll die right away or later: you will know one day that your death your spiritual
death and decline occurred the moment you chose to doubt My Word and disobey... you were just buried later. (I:357)

Dont listen to the enemys voice, nor look at his distractions and 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 devils nasty illusions to bits!
Whatever he tries to present to you as reality or relevant is absolutely irrelevant, and doesnt stand a chance as soon as
you let Me move in with My reality, that what I consider relevant and important! The devil goes: Oh, but the money, and all
the bills... I say, Seek ye first My Kingdom and 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 devils
option of disobedience. But is it really so?
There seemed to be more in it for Adam and 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
and agony ever since, in exchange for paradise. (I:392)

You must forgive and forget! Especially forget those ridiculous lies of the devil, which sow seeds of mistrust in your heart.
(I:403)

Keep putting your doubts on the back burner, and keep trusting that My ways are higher than yours, and that as hard to
believe as it may seem right now, every little detail will fall into place and wind up making perfect sense in its contribution
to the Big Picture! (I:478)

Whoever happens to be fighting on your side, alongside you in that army at the moment is your brother or sister in arms,
and they deserve your loyalty, in spite of any and all weaknesses or flaws.
Of course, they have flaws, faults and battles. They are fighting the devil, the enemy of their souls. They are in a war of the
worlds, a severe struggle, which brings a lot of upheavals into one's life, while those who have withdrawn from that
spiritual battlefront to just live a selfish life have no right to point their finger at them in an accusing way. Yet they are
usually the first to point their finger at them, because in having made a truce with the enemy, they are also subject to his
"comments" on issues. How much do you allow yourself to be affected by those comments? How much do you listen to
those doubts? (I:531)

If you keep doubting, it will be like saying you would have known better than Me. (I:568)

The same type of people who doubt that little old you can receive living Words straight from the mouth of God, also fought
Me for having the audacity to say that I was the Son of God. (I:571)

Resigning to your fate means yielding to your circumstances instead of availing yourself of My power to change them.
230
It's conforming with and settling for the "prison for your mind" that the devil has constructed for you, your personal little
"matrix." (I:614)

I'm going to prove My Love to you if you do as much as call out to Me and expect Me to answer. I will not disappoint you! I
want to prove as false all the doubts the enemy plants in your mind. (II:62)

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 it is not so!" (II:76)

If you doubt My Word in one aspect, and think you can make yourself an exception on that, the enemy will soon offer and
suggest more compromises for you to make, more disobediences he makes you think you can get away with... (II:95)

Don't let resignation in! You've got to believe, hold on at any cost! Let earth and all carnal circumstances recede and let Me
lift you above all the natural impossibilities! I'm going to make this happen, so you'd better believe Me for it! Don't be
dumbfounded: If I said it, and if I ordained it, don't you think that I also am able to keep it alive?
I'm just allowing the devil to pour some water over it, like the servants of Baal poured water over Elijah's oxen and altar. It
was an additional challenge, to ask to do the totally and utterly impossible, to pour all that valuable and precious water
down those trenches.
But for Elijah there was never a doubt that I was going to do it. He knew there was going to be fire, and there was going to
be rain again. So, as a result, I caused him to do the humanly impossible, because He had My anointing, My Power, My fire,
and it's got to be that same power, anointing and fire that fuels your actions, your words, your life!
Never ever doubt that I'm going to do it, no matter how much water the devil may pour over it! He's casting out a flood after
you to drown you, but don't you swallow any of it! Let them swallow it! But you must keep on believing, never doubting
that My fire is more powerful than all his water, and all that's going to be left of it when the twain shall meet and I'm done
with him is vapor!
So, don't insult Me by doubting Me. It's a conduct that is unworthy of you! You should know better than that! You have
been raised and trained to know better than that! In fact, you were born to know better! I cannot fail, and I won't. (II:150)

If you want to get rid of the devil and his lies and you want to get his doubts out of your head, just come to Me, listen to Me
and dig into My Word! (II:190)

Just show the devil that you're absolutely convinced that not only I'm the Boss and in control, but that I also perfectly
know what I'm doing, and that you're convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that even if you may find yourself in an
unpleasant situation, that if I've allowed it, it's got to be the absolute best possible thing happening to you, because I love
you and only will allow the best for you! (II:205)

I'm all about busting the confines of what the enemy and your human carnal mind have taught you all your life is possible
and what not! The devil says, "You cannot fly." I say, "Believe in Me and you will!" The devil says, "You cannot live
forever!" I say, "Believe in Me and you will!" The devil says, "You cannot tell people about this! They're never going to
believe you! They're going to say you're crazy!" I say, "Believe Me, and I will lead you to those who will receive you,
contrary to your natural expectations!" (II:207)

There is nothing that can come between us, except what you allow. Only if the enemy manages to make you doubt My love
for you, is there a shadow obstructing the flow of My light and love to you. (II:265)

You've got to totally experience My Love, My mercy and forgiveness for you before I expect you to go out and sell it to
anyone else! I want you to be so sure of it that there will be no more doubt about it at all in your heart when you go out to
share your faith with them.
Don't be like those who insulted Me by doubting Me, by thinking that My arm was too short to save them! (II:363)

Ask Me to help you stay "on fire" for Me! Guard that flame, and 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. (II:400)

The enemy tries to dissuade you from helping Me through doubt, the refusal to believe that things are really the way I say
they are, that the situation is urgent, and I do need you to do all you can to bring in the harvest before the storm. (II:421)

You must not doubt, but continue to believe that the glories that shall be revealed in you are not worthy to be compared to
the sufferings of this present time! (II:430)

You've got to disarm the devil's lies with the sword of the truth! The truth is that if I love you and trust you and bestow so
much care and attention on you, invest so much time in you, then how can you dishonor My faith in you by having so little
faith in yourself? If you cannot have faith for yourself, then at least have the faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. I knew
what I was doing by choosing you. So, quit doubting! (II:444)

Thats what I will need in order to help Me to really take over the world: No compromisers, no half-hearts, no doubters of
My truth, but stout believers.
231
Don't let fear, doubt, lack of courage, get a hold of you, but faith and conviction: believe! Trust! Accept! (II:525)

Neither intellect nor intelligence are on the list of things needed to make a pioneer, but initiative is, along with courage,
another thing which intelligent people often don't possess, because they're often so skeptical, full of doubts, which easily
grow into fears, which provide the thinker with lots of reasons why one shouldn't even try. (II:543)

Chase away the silly and stupid doubts and 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 and soon you'll hear their annoying buzzing no more! (II:544)

Forget all those doubts about yourself and just trust, believe, accept, be! (II:547)

Although you have decided to receive Me, it doesn't mean that you're automatically going to continue receiving Me from
then on. As you can see with some, they make the decision afterwards to never open their heart to Me again. The devil
scares them out. All they do is receive the seed, but they don't allow it to sprout, grow and blossom. They're afraid of
letting it fall into the ground and die so that it may bring forth fruit in them. They instinctively know that some part of them
is going to die with it, if they allow that. Their physical, momentary lives are what matters more to them than eternity.
That's why they can doubt their Salvation, and it makes others doubt as well that they ever got saved or possibly could be
saved and are on their way to Heaven. (II:573)

The enemy would like to have you take on a defeatist attitude, and to get you to give up. "Give up! It's no use! Why keep on
fighting? You don't stand a chance anyway!" And sometimes the only answer that comes to your mind, when he asks you
"Why keep on fighting?," is "Because I choose to." You choose not to give up, not to surrender to him, that's your choice
and your determination, and that's what's going to give you the victory, ultimately.
Whenever a situation looks bad and the enemy tries to get you to moan about it, you've got to realize that that's a lie. (II:595)

When a situation seems bad, I want you to see My love in it, and to remember that this is also happening for some good
purpose.
The most important thing is that you trust Me and don't believe the enemy when he tries to tell you: "You see? Now He
made a mistake!" or, "Now He has proven that He doesn't love you!" That's one of the greatest dangers of growing up: you
become more skeptical, which means, you won't believe things as easily anymore, but you're going to want to find out
whether the things you were being told are really so. When children become teens, the devil really attacks them with a lot
of doubts, because they want to discover their own view of things, and don't just want to see things through the glasses
they were given by their parents. They want to make their own picture.
While it's inevitable to grow up, and it's My will for you to become more mature, you should always keep your childlike
faith in Me. The devil will try to put a lot of thoughts into your head, which look "grown up", but in the end can be quite
silly, and really only have the purpose to destroy faith and trust in Me. (II:597)

How do you become an instrument of My peace?

"Where there is doubt, there let me bring faith." You cannot have any doubts yourself, but must be so full of positiveness,
so determined not to give any place to the devil and his evil thoughts of darkness, of nothingness, that anything and
everything that represents his gloom will only serve as a vacuum that's immediately filled up and overwhelmed by My
graciousness, My capacity to fill, My all-engulfing and overflowing Light, joy and Love. (III:31)

The carnal man seeks to build up his pride and seeks the opposite of My will for you, the sinful nature in you that always
seeks to contradict Me, to doubt Me, to strive against Me, to run away from Me. (III:62)

Your natural reasoning sometimes makes you doubt, because you don't feel different from any old villain... The enemy
tries to "remind" you that you're no one special at all, just another wicked human, like all the rest of them.
But heaven and all its blessings are not earned on a merit basis. You either have the right and you are being granted
access to its riches or not, no matter what the enemy may do or say. In fact, the only chance he ever had is that you fall for
his bluffs and believe any of this stuff. You are one who has full access to the treasure houses of the Father; an heir with
all the full privileges and constant access to anything you might need. What Satan says about it or tries to make you
believe about it is irrelevant. (III:95)

It's all about overcoming and resisting those temptations of the enemy, overcoming all seeming impossibilities, difficulties
and potential excuses to quit, and rise above them all on the wings of faith in Me, refusing to doubt that what I have
promised I am well able to keep. (III:99)

Don't let doubts or hesitation, lethargy or lack of enthusiasm rob and kill the great things I could do through your faith!
(III:218)

The true visionaries and prophets refuse to doubt that what I have promised is true, and I will honor their faith. (III:227)

The more of a conscious effort you make to 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. (III:253)

232
My Word is like the magical sword Excalibur of the tales of old, that was stuck inside a rock, and only the true king was
able to pull it out.
If you're distracted by the whispers of the evil one, then you probably won't draw that sword from the stone.
Only if you know you were born and chosen to be an overcomer, will you have the determination it takes to grab its handle
and withdraw it from the grasp of uselessness.
It all depends which voices you listen to in your heart: the voices of doubt, or the still small voice of faith... (III:316)

If I'd be only waiting to find perfect and flawless vessels to fill, I'd never find anybody to use and work with. Even Mother
Teresa had her doubts, trials and battles. It came as a shock for the world, but you know better. There is no such thing as a
perfect saint. The verse still is true; "For we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be
of God, and not of us" (2Cor.4:7).
Its all about communication, tuning in to each other, being considerate of each other, each other's needs, and being of a
helpful attitude toward each other.
One of the greatest hindrances in this is the suspicion the enemy sows by making you doubt others' motives and
truthfulness. You've got to keep believing in your people. You've got to project something good into them, instead of the
doubts and negativity the enemy would cast over them in your mind's eye.
Keep your vision clear and pure of that dark and negative input from the enemy about each other, the world, and just about
everything. The devil likes to pull everything through the mud, because like this he can influence you to the point where
you lose your zest, your vision, your inspiration for life.
He's coming at you from so many angles simultaneously in this day and age that I have to make an extra effort to help you
be aware of his devices. 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.
He tries a different tactic with everyone: for those he's trying to lure away from deep, profound and spiritual things, he's
painting that picture of "everything's honky-dory" and "what are you guys all so panicky about?" While those who are
already aware that something's wrong and fishy, he tries to discourage with a hopeless outlook so that they won't feel like
it's any use to try to do anything about it in the first place...
I give 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. (III:340)

If you had the faintest clue how loved you are, you would know without a doubt that it's worth it all. (III:348)

The enemy uses doubt (a side effect of the greed for knowledge) to weaken you and cause you to harbor skepticism. (III:368)

The first thing to do is to say yes to My plan and show that youre going to believe Me for it.
Why not believe Me for it, and enjoy the pleasant consequences of your faith, rather than doubt and say, Oh, the
circumstances indicate that the Lord must not really have meant what He said? (III:400)

I delight in confounding your doubts and dispelling your worries. (III:403)

I need you! Thats the thought that should be driving you and spurring you on to continue to move forward, not all those
doubts and thoughts of self-pity the enemy likes to plant in your mind.
Be an open receptacle for Me, not for the enemys doubts and lies. (III:428)

Its okay the way you are and who you are because I made you that way, and doubting that is like saying you know better
than Me! (III:453)

Knowledge in Heaven is all based on the total and unquestioned acceptance of Gods sovereignty. Its unquestioned that
He is the ultimate and absolute Power behind everything, so there is never even a single instant of a question or doubt
about whether it really all happened the way He said it did in His Word.
You have to discern the effort the devil and his folks are making to get people to doubt Me, My existence and authorship of
the universe. Up Here, theres no doubt about how it all happened. But down there you live in a sea of doubts, and you are
little islands and bastions of faith in that sea; islands that are growing with every bit of knowledge you discover that
solidifies into another piece of land when one more paradigm of doubt has been replaced by another fact of faith (III:468)

The enemy tries to get you to doubt Gods wisdom as you go by what you see, and you obviously cant trust what you see;
it doesnt make sense. Thats why you must allow us to teach you to walk by faith, and not by sight, not to judge by what
you see, but to have true and deeper judgment, according to the spirit. (III:517)

You were having doubts whether I was able to relate to you at all, but through having confronted those doubts, you
received the confirmation, that yes, I am able to relate to what youre going through. (III:536)

Showing folks how they can connect with Me is like supplying them with generators, an unlimited source of free energy. All
your doubts and all the enemys negative energy can be blown away with that invisible, light-weight perpetual power
generator you carry with you at all times. (III:552)

We know you can do it is definitely better than a doubtful and skeptical attitude. (III:601)
233
Do what you can, for Heavens sake; you cant let everybody down just because you cant see how little old you is going to
make any difference. Why do you have to belittle and put down what I have chosen, even if its you to make a difference?
By folding up in resignation because you doubt that I could ever use you to make a difference you belittle My abilities to
use the weak in order to confound the strong, and My wisdom in choosing those I have chosen (IV:7)

If it was My love and power that saved you, then who are you to doubt that I can save them, too, from the mess theyre
probably going to get into, just as I saved you out of yours, no matter how smart you were or not? (IV:26)

In the present, fallen state of man and all things physical, the human mind is less inclined to believe the truth than to doubt
and believe a lie in general, just as the human heart is rather inclined towards darkness than the light, as John put it
(Jn.3:19).
My Light, My Love, My Power is all that is necessary to hold you up, and will soon make you wonder how you could ever
have had the audacity to doubt. (IV:54)

Youre the work of My hand, and the more you trust Me and just let Me do with it what I will, without much interference or
doubt or questioning from you, the better its going to be. (IV:69)

You figure that if Im the One Who created you and your brethren in such an imperfect manner, then perhaps I couldnt be
all that perfect, either.
But thats where youre reaching the wrong conclusion.
You wont find perfect in this world due to the state its in because of the choices of man, and not because of any failure on
My part. In fact, the way back to perfect is the way back to Me. (IV:92)

People have questions and doubts, and youve got the answers. At least some of them, and compared to many people,
quite a lot of them. (IV:97)

When people dont like you, remember that they also didnt like Me. At least not the majority, that is, and they all had their
doubts about Me at some time or another. (IV:130)

If you have a believing attitude of Yes, Lord; I believe that youre going to do it, its going to be more helpful in bringing
about My plans, of course, than a doubting attitude
How strong is your faith in My Promises, and that Im going to fulfill them? How strongly do you refuse to believe that Im a
liar? (IV:132)

While the knowledge of evil, the devils input, may nearly always contain some truth in it, its his diabolical, evil slant and
twist on it, and the wicked way in which He applies it to get you to doubt or mistrust Me, that makes it so dangerous.
The false information of the devil seeks to get man to place his trust in himself.
Their minds are polluted by his philosophy of trust no one but yourself and be your own god and master. Thats what
he did, and he figures it worked for him, and so hes advertising his trip: See here? I didnt trust God, but decided to do
my own thing and be my own boss, and Im happy!
My good and solid and proper input and knowledge bears the fruit of true happiness, and not their fake, which only turns
out in misery.
My input will make you happy. His will make you miserable The choice should be so easy. (IV:134)

You can commit yourself wholly into My hands, even when youre going through your defeat and the pain of crucifixion, or
whatever equivalent in your life: your trials, your problems, your times of doubt and despair
If you will overcome those doubts and finally yield and trust and commit your life and your all into My hands, you also will
experience a glorious and miraculous resurrection like I did. (IV:187)

Dont believe Satans input that would cause you to doubt Me and would make Me look like a liar, like someone who
doesnt keep his promises! (IV:192)

Trust in a divine purpose for everything, even if initially and occasionally youre tempted to doubt and waver! (IV:199)

Satan may sow that doubt in your mind because of the rather bleak circumstances that make it appear as though I or the
Father had forsaken you. But thats just where your faith is being tested, whether you will cling to that Promise of I will
never leave thee nor forsake thee, and whether youre actually going to believe it, or fall for the doubt trap of the enemy.
And even if you doubt, I will not leave or forsake you. You may temporarily believe it, and thus it may seem to you that way,
but you can absolutely know for certain that this will never ever truly be the case. There is no such thing. Even if youre
faithless, I remain faithful. I cannot deny Myself. I cannot go back on My Promises. (IV:211)

All the enemy can do is to discourage you from availing yourself of the tools youve got. He tries to make you doubt:
What are you going to do now? You dont have what it takes, etc.
- When all the while you do. You do have what it takes; you just need to avail yourself of it.

234
So, if the enemy ever tries to tell you again that you havent got what it takes to fill the need, to meet the challenge of the
day, just remember what I told you: he lies, and you do have exactly and all it takes to deal with him and anything you may
have to face.
His only weapon is this lie, that you havent got it, but I tell you: youve got it. Just use it! (IV:217)

I know its hard sometimes to keep the faith and to stay in the firm knowledge and assurance of My love, especially when
there are so many influences from the carnal mind and the vibes of the System and the Matrix pounding on you - All their
vibes of disbelief and skepticism and doubt. - The same sin that caused Adam and Eve and with them this whole creation
to fall under this curse of nothingness, emptiness and blackness instead of the love, light and fullness that I would like to
give. (IV:220)

Im saying, Believe and you will see. But you folks would rather have it the other way around: Show us and well
believe.
Like Philip: Show us the Father, and it is enough. Do you think he ever actually got to see the Father during his life-time?
Did he need to? No, he was perfectly able to continue his life of faith even without having seen the Father. All he needed to
go on was the visible evidence of His Presence and existence all around him.
The evidence speaks loud enough. Does it speak loud enough for you to drown out the other factors that dont make sense
to you or cause you to doubt? (IV:222)

In order to receive anything from Me one has to apply and exert that drawing power of faith, as opposed to a doubting
mind (James 1:5-8). (IV:229)

I will clear up all misunderstandings, questions, unsolved problems and doubts, because nothing will remain hidden or
unclear or in the dark, it will all come out into the light and will be revealed and examined: all that has been covered up
throughout history, causing deceit and misunderstanding. There will be nothing left remaining in the dark. (IV:243)

The suffering that was allowed to be inflicted on Job was instigated by Satan, in order to get Job to doubt My goodness
and to curse Me. And he still largely abides by the same technique, as evident from the arguments of the atheists, who
could not possibly believe in a God Who allows this kind of apparently unjust suffering.
What the devil failed to manage in the life of Job, he did manage and achieve in the lives of countless modern day atheists
who base their unbelief on their own experiences and observations regarding the suffering in this world. What they dont
see is that the devil is causing it precisely for this reason: to get them to doubt Me or turn against Me.
You may doubt the goodness that lies within allowing the devil to wreak such havoc upon earth, or the wisdom or sense
in it, but that is simply where you begin to put your own wisdom, sense and judgment above Mine, which is basically
saying, If I were God, Id do better. (IV:248)

The enemy may tempt you to feel as if I had forsaken you and makes you doubt that Im still around.
But I am, and these experiences are of utmost importance for you to learn the supremacy of the significance of your
dependence on Me, of your need to focus on Me regardless of circumstances, and by this experience you will learn to trust
beyond a doubt that you can always rely on Me, no matter what. (IV:330)

You cannot make it without that absolute bare minimum of faith that causes you to refuse to doubt that I mean and intend
only whats good for you, that I love you and am there for you, to help you, see you through and wont let you down.
I can understand that you may be tempted to doubt at times, when the circumstances do look rather bleak, and you dont
know whether youre going to make it by all rational reasoning. But thats why Im telling you: dont lean on your rational
reasoning, but rather put that little bit of faith in Me! (IV:402)

What counts is what you do with what youve got, and that often in spite of all the circumstances, obstacles and the
doubts the enemy screams into your ears, that its useless and you dont stand a chance, etc.
Your natural inclination may be to just give in and succumb to those doubts, and if you do, well, then thats the surest way
to prove them right. But if you really want to get anywhere, youre going to have to fight and refuse to give in to these
odds against you, resist the enemy and never surrender. (IV:432)

The enemy sows his doubts about the veracity of those things that I say. His job is to get you to doubt what I say, as you
can tell from history, and especially from the current state of the world. (IV:452)

Faith will get you a lot further than its counterpart, doubt, will.
Doubt will only get you in the neighborhood of nowhere vaguely and youll not even be sure of that. With doubt, you
can never be sure of anything. Thats the only thing the doubter can be sure of. (IV:523)

Just taking it is what lifes challenge is sometimes all about.

When you can take it in spite of your own reservations, doubts and skepticism, chances are that youre going to make it.
(11:53)

Questions and doubts are part of the daily fight of faith.

You wont regret it in the end, having hung on to what you believe, in spite of all those doubts and onslaughts on your
faith. (2012:6)
235
How do you expect Me to work miracles in your favor with a doubting attitude?
You have the choice to perish along with all the rest of the murmurers and doubters, or to become of the exceptional kind
like Joshua and Caleb, who refused to give up, refused to doubt, and kept on believing until the very end. (2012:127)

Dont walk in doubt and with small, hesitant steps, but stride confidently, just grounded in the fact that you have My
support. (2012:134)

Doubt can ruin everything. Its a dark area in life that hinders you from functioning properly for Me. (2012:137)

The fact that it always turns out alright in the end, is a sign that all the Enemys doubts of Me having abandoned, forsaken
and discarded, or even cursed you are lies. Im right here with you, never letting you go, even if at times it seems like it,
just as it seemed that I had been forsaken by the Father in My darkest hour, but really wasnt. (2012:145)

Those doubting Thomass who have to put their hand into My wounds in order to believe, are quite plenteous, but few are
they who believe when theres nothing else to go on but My Word. (2013:17)

What other chance have you got than to believe Me? To doubt Me is the end of all things, as far as youre concerned. Its
the end of a long slippery downhill slope. So why not trust and believe Me instead, your only hope?
You want more hope? Then stop doubting Me and keep believing! Stop looking at all you see going on around you that
would give you reason to doubt Me, and instead trust that I know what Im doing despite everything it may seem like.
(2013:112)

The enemy will try to make you doubt your faith thats the battle and fight he causes, and you know you have such
battles to deal with and keep fighting them until you win.
You can win the battle, because Im on your side and giving you power and force to win each battle against the enemy and
his doubts (2014:43)

Sometimes people have doubts that make their faiths weaker, and it has been the case that faith shrank.
You can make other peoples faith shrink by your own shrinking of it and the resulting behavior and example.
And if you should cause their faith to shrink, you can imagine that I wont be very proud of you, or thankful for what you
do So, better hang on as long as you can and try the best you can to win! (2014:122)

Stay with Me and get My Words even if the devils telling you stories about Me that make you doubt! (2014:145)

I understand its a bit hard for you to keep the faith entirely without any doubts. But My counsel would be to try to keep it
growing the best you can, promising that you wont be disappointed. (2014:165)

Keep trusting in Our Love, even if the enemy tries to put doubts against it on you and making Us look like the bad guys!
(2014:167)

The flesh wont last forever, but the spirit does, especially when youre saved.
One of the tricks the enemy pulls is to make you doubt that, because of some of the things he tempts and gets you to do.
But dont underestimate Our Love and forgiveness! Tune in to Our Rhythm of Life! (2015:20)

Keep believing Me and trusting Me all you can for your survival, even if the enemy started that severe test to make you
doubt and wonder whether I still care for you (2015:30)

Well take care of you, no matter what even if you have to go through things during which the enemy likes to make you
doubt whether Were really in charge. (2015:31)

Just remember that the much greater part of eternal life is coming hereafter, and dont let the enemy get you to doubt that,
but look forward to it, as the best to come, which trust Me! It is! (2015:69)

Trust Me for things to work and turn out, even if there are some doubts and fears popping up in you about whether they
will, and you keep thinking about some risks developing and some bad sides of things cropping up (2015:95)

Make an effort to stay close to Me, in order to overcome the enemys doubts and attacks, and not be caused by thoughts of
things from your visible world to be sidetracked! (2015:107)

You believe in a God of Love?

It might be good to be able to keep the faith in His Love, even with bad things happening to you, because there will be even
worse things happening to this world, making you doubt and wonder all the more, unless you manage to keep your faith
anyway, even if you couldnt possibly understand why Your Creator is allowing certain things to happen.
If life seems a bit of a mess, dont worry too much, or doubt that Were not in control of things down there, even if at times
it may seem as if Were not. (2015:135)

236
Focus less on the parts of life causing you pain and making you doubt! (2015:145)

Keep up this connection between us, in spite of the doubts youre having to battle against it!
Overcome those doubts youre having about it, and youll see: that gift will turn out to be a great blessing for you in days
to come, when not much else will work! (2015:171)

How about fighting as hard as you can in order to bear fruit for Me and the Father, and do all that you can, and not just give
up in fear and because of doubts? (2015:175)

Remember the enemy always trying to prove to you that what Im saying is wrong; but that just depends on your level of
faith whether you believe in Me, and what Im saying, or his input, which you ought to know by know, consists pretty
much of lies! (15:204)

Its a fight of faith! But blessed are those able to keep it in spite of all the doubts the enemy sows in order to weaken it, if
not totally wipe it out and destroy it! Blessed are those who will win at the end of that rough fight during which the enemy
does all he can to wipe out and destroy your faith. (2016:9)

The enemy uses the physical circumstances around you to doubt that you can make it but hey thats the opposite of
faith, one of the most important factors youll need in order to make it. (2016:67)

The enemy wont stop trying to slow you down, weaken you with his doubts and do all he can to stop you from your efforts
and sowing your fruits to the spiritual Realm, instead of investing all your efforts in the carnal realm like the vast majority.
(2016:146)

Folks doubting My existence, and the necessity of Me and My helpers from Heaven being there are quite common, and the
vast majority prefer to rely on their own abilities. But thats another reason why I advise you not to look at man and the
behavior and attitudes of folks around you to gear your vision and inner setup not according to what you perceive by
sight, but receive through faith. (2016:155)

Whenever one of My followers gets on the right track, the enemy fights it with doubts, fears and discouragement and the
best you can do is come to Me for the rescue. (2016:156)

If you have doubts that youll make it, remember your dependence on heavenly Help, with which you should make it, and
without which you wouldnt be able to make it through whats coming, anyway! (2016:157)

Keep the enemy outside with his doubts, worries and fears, by filling your mind and spirit up with My input and the
spiritual gifts from Above! (2016:172)

To learn to resist the enemys doubts, temptations and evil lies is one of the major lessons of life, since it is what got this
world into its trouble in the first place; and unfortunately, few are learning from it. (2016:201)

Once Ive shown you something to be My will for you, dont doubt it, and start considering the other option a better choice,
after all! It means: Stick to what Ive been showing you, and dont let the enemy get you to doubt it! Keep some conviction!
(17:9)

Many things happening to believers bring up questions and doubts, and sometimes they allow those to rip their faith off of
them exactly what the enemy desired to accomplish through them.
And why were they allowed? Well, as tests of faith, to find out how real it was or is (17:16)

Its the enemys tactic to throw doubts in your mind, just as he successfully did with Adam and Eve. But knowing what that
led to, whom are you going to choose to believe - him or Me? (17:68)

If the devil tries to torture you with thoughts that those around you are considering you wasting your time you spend in
communication with Me, just be brave enough to resist those doubts and negative thoughts, and trust in Me and that I
know what Im giving you is what you need! (17:75)

Be a believer! - Not a doubter or a trembler! (17:116)

The biggest question and test of life is: will you make it through faith? - Or let the doubts slip in and linger?
Life is all along a series or class of tests of faith.
Whether pleasant or unpleasant how are you taking it? By faith - or in doubt? (17:120)

Trust in Me, that Ill take care of you! - Even if the enemy tries to make you doubt that with his negative input! (17:122)

Sometimes tough situations make you think make you wander make you doubt.
Another battle that faith is going through and can you believe Me that itll just make it stronger and purer? (17:126)

237
If the enemy tempts you with doubts and gets you onto a negative wavelength, get the victory through your connection
with Me! (17:132)

Dont let the enemy come in with his doubts, but learn to take it all by faith!
The most important part to learn to accept in life is what I allow to happen to you, trusting Me by faith that I know whats
best for you, even if the enemy will try to convince you of the opposite with his negative input and doubts. (17:144)

238
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

the Endtime

The night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4

Soon that which they say now rules the world money will be no more, and you will look and its gone. First to be
replaced by Satans mark for his short time and then to be replaced forever and eternally by My new and everlasting
System of true values.
The hour of darkness is coming. Let Me be your only Light, and I will light your path!
Theyre all living on borrowed time, and guess Who theyre borrowing it from? I lend it to them, and soon I will return to
see what each man has done with it and reward them accordingly.
When I return, will you cry, If I only had given up this thing and that or the other for the Lord, how many more I could have
saved!?
Things will not continue as they were. And when they will change, when that which is forecast will come to pass, then you
will have your chance, and I will have My chance, if you will let Me work and speak and move and live through you. Thats
why you must train now, so you will be prepared when it happens.
Be like Me. Enduring unto the end. And I am with you always even unto the end of the world, which isnt that far off
anymore. (I:16)

You must work hard to prepare for the calamities that are about to befall the World. And just like Noah needed My exact
instructions in order to be able to build the first ship in history, so will you, if you wish to survive the flood of iniquity. The
time is truly drawing near and youre feeling the vibes of impending doom. Do what you can and I will do what you cant.
(I:46)

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 and most wicked days of
man will have withstood all opposition to declare and establish this eternal standard.
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 Ill find lifting up the standard of love in their lives, deeds and 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 and My voice in you, so, be My standard bearers, My heralds, proclaim My standard of love! (I:68)

I dont want to scare you of the future, but if you would see the severity of the impending doom, you would act differently!
You would dig out the Word and start reading and memorizing as if your life would depend on it as much as breathing. I
will have to become your oxygen, if you want to survive the days to come! I will have to become your only light, your
bread, your water, and everything you need to live, for the Devil is going to try to cut all other means of supply. (I:83)

The less firmly you are attached to the World and the System, the less youre going to be affected by the cataclysmic
changes that are going to befall it.
The more you stay tuned to Me and move with My Spirit, the safer youll be. Being a pilgrim and stranger in this world
always shows its advantages when this world is being shaken up by Me and turning events.
Let Me carry you above all the waves the storms are whipping up. The sea beneath you is seething and foaming, a black,
menacing brew. But you are safe in the palm of My hand. (I:94)

The forces which will be at work during the time of the Antichrist are already at work right now to bring him to power. A
new world order doesnt just pop out of nothing without having been thoroughly planned. Some things look simpler on the
surface than they really are, and just because you cant see the intricacy on the surface, it doesnt mean its not there...
(I:104)

The enemy was bargaining with Me and said, Sure theyre 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 and theyll all fall for me, Youll 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 and shiny toys and distractions and enticements. I had to
let him make Me and My prophets look like fools to have been predicting an earlier doom, and now... Its true, many have
fallen by the wayside and have given in to the attraction and the lure. Many have been hypnotized by his sirens and 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 youve 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 and the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. It will come to pass. (I:152)

239
Prepare for the time of the End when you will teach many!
You will be the beacons of My light to the world in the greatest darkness this World has ever known. (I:209)

The Serpent will spew out a great flood of lies after the Bride, and the Earth will swallow it (Rev.12:15), so be prepared. Be
prepared for the greatest collision and confrontation between My Bride and the World which has ever been, resulting in the
greatest tribulation there has ever been. For I will wreak trouble on those who seek to trouble you. Ill give them greater
issues to worry about.
The plagues of Pharaoh are a good picture of this. He oppressed My people, and I sent him plagues, and although the
Antichrist will never let up on you voluntarily, nor will he be persuaded, I will give him enough distractions on all fronts to
keep him busy with other matters than persecuting you, My beloved, and in the end he will face his final Nemesis
descending from the sky, namely Me, and he shall taste the white-hot sword of My mouth.
There will be an end to the kingdom of Satan, his world, to be replaced by My Kingdom, with the barrier between the
dimensions gone. I will bring about that End, just like I brought about the beginning of this World. (I:213)

Its a rough and tough exam youre 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 youre not so attached, so affected by all thats going on in the
World. (I:268)

The days of peace and of ease are numbered. The hour of temptation which cometh upon the whole earth to try every man,
woman and child which dwelleth therein will come. Therefore I say unto you: Prepare! Prepare your hearts; for what you
will need most of all is faith to protect you from fear and despair! Faith for miracles to help you rise above the most
atrocious and miserable circumstances of all times!
Blessed are those who are poor now, who are learning to do without, who have already learned to appreciate the little
things, the small things, that which the rich, the wealthy, the mighty and complacent despise, for those who live humbly
wont fall as hard. Woe unto the mighty, for in that day everyone shall say How the mighty have fallen, have fallen...
Marvel not that you are a lone voice of warning... Were there not 400 prophets who foretold victory, and yet the one who
prophesied the kings death was right? Therefore, redeem the time, for the days are evil! Learn to truly rely on My arm, and
not on your own. The time has come to lean utterly on Me, My child!
These are My judgments on the wicked who forget God. Although they are part of the Evil ones plot, I allow these things to
judge and humble the wicked, the mighty and proud.
There will be a great Harvest during that time of Great Confusion. The coming crisis will cause a mighty widening of the
eyes of those who have not discerned the signs of the times, and it will open their ears and hearts to your words.
Woe unto the Earth and the inhabitants thereof, for the serpent will soon be cast out, having great wrath, for he knoweth
his time is short! You are My bride, who I will care for and protect and hide in the wilderness, so worry not, but trust! Trust
in Me and forget thine own arm! Lean wholly unto Me and I will carry you and see you safely though the tempest and
raging storm!
Though a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, yet shall it not come nigh thee, for I have
chosen you out from among them, thou art Mine. Because thou hast put thy trust in Me and hast said unto Me, Thou,
Lord, art my rock and my refuge, therefore will I protect thee and keep thee and carry thee all the days of thy life! (I:297)

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,
and you are My candles and torches in the night, My diamonds of dust. You were created for this purpose, and I have
prepared you for this. Fear not, but walk into the future with your heads held high and raising high the torch and flame I
have given you.
Fight and resist the oppressing forces of darkness. The evil one will seek to control every facet and angle of a mans life.
So, prepare yourselves. Focus on, and guard in your hearts My high calling for you to be My shining lights to the World in
gross darkness!
I will feed you, keep you, supply for you and care for you just like I always have. (I:302)

Its hard to believe in the Endtime approaching when youve been floating on a cloud of ease for years, and nothing ever
happened...
Persecution and judgment have always hit most of My disciples by surprise, but I want you to be prepared. I want you to
know that time is short and not act as if things are going to keep going the same way they have been for the next hundred
years, for they wont. (I:311)

During the Endtime the devil will have a lot of power, but yours will be greater! It already is! Use it! (I:395)

The time of the merging of the spiritual and physical realm is drawing nigh, and I want you to be prepared for it, by
focusing more on the spiritual and less on the physical. I want to use you as My heralds of this event, giving others the
chance to prepare for it, too.
See your job as less that of a prophet of doom, but as a herald who is giving others a chance to prepare for coming events.
John the Baptist was a voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight paths for the Lord", in other words, "Prepare
for the Lord's coming!" - Which is, in essence, what I also want you to do. You're My voices in the wilderness, telling the
people to prepare for My 2nd coming.
The message I want you to give people is to "prepare", and to let them know that you're willing and able to help them to do
so. (I:427)

240
It's time for My called-out ones to stop pretending they're just a bunch of nice people. It's time to come forth and show
their true face as what they really are: My prophets of the End, heralding the downfall, the collapse and the destruction of
the System.
There will come a time when you won't be tempted anymore, when you will have abolished the mind frame of the World
completely, and I will have renewed your mind completely, transformed you into a non-conformist of the extreme kind. A
flint against their faces, their proud and haughty looks against Me. Yes, they shall hate you, as they have hated Me, but I
will love you, you will love Me and nothing else will matter.
You'll have much greater help available.
You're going to see. You're going to believe, because you're going to see. You're going to see because you believed, and
then you're going to believe even greater things, and have faith for even greater things because of what you saw.
The more you believe My Words and draw down that miracle power from Me, the more you strengthen your faith to believe
all I'm telling you. This next explosion of faith is going to result in My Endtime Revolution and ultimately in My Kingdom
established on Earth, because the time is drawing near. "They can't stop our reign!" (I:451)

The Antichrist has his own heralds, and although he portrays his era as an era of peace, "he shall by peace destroy many",
because his is not real or true peace, and the peace the devil gives is only short-lived. But you can be a herald and
messenger of the Prince of true, genuine, everlasting peace and freedom. (I:459)

Sooner or later, the "proper" way of doing things is going to disappear. The "proper" way is headed for the mark of the
Beast, and at that point, you will have no part in it anymore, and the sooner you start to prepare and find an alternative way
of doing things, which is Mine, the better off you're going to be.
Don't dream that things are always going to stay the way they are, but keep in mind where it's headed: toward the mark of
the Beast, because this System is of the devil, and he's not going to give it up voluntarily. I'm going to take it away from
him by allowing him to fully establish his kingdom on Earth, proving to all mankind what an absolute mess he's going to
make out of things, and it's going to be war, and nothing less.
He's going to declare open war on My bride, and that's where he's going to have gone too far, and where he's going to find
out that he can't keep making the bill without the Keeper of the Inn... (I:613)

It is necessary for Me to bring on the night before I can bring back the Spring. It is necessary to bring on the purging
before all is pure again.
You say, "Bring on the good times! Stop all this suffering," but it's necessary for Me to bring on My judgments first. You
must agree with Me on this, you must desire them as something good.
I'm asking you to agree with Me that judgments must come, and to pray that I bring on that which I know the world needs
most. (II:55)

My currency is the Real Thing, the only thing that's going to endure and see you through any crisis! You better start
making full use of it, and getting trained in its usage, because you're going to be more and more dependent on it, no more
reliance on the arm of the flesh in the future!
It's going to be the time that all the prophets have dreamed of and foreseen, the ultimate fulfillment of all I've said and
spoken!
I want you to praise Me for it! Show the devil you're not scared of him, nor of anything he can bring about, knowing that
he's only a tool in My hands to bring to pass My greater plan! What must come to pass is going to come to pass, the cup is
almost full. So, it behooves you to invest all your time and energies into preparing for it! Don't be like those who didn't get
into the boat with Noah because they were too busy with the usual affairs of life, their courting and eating and drinking...
If you can see the changes happening on the horizon, you better start preparing for them, and not wait until they're here!
And one of the best ways to prepare for them is to let others know about them now, before they come to pass, so that they
can prepare also, and help you.
People have got to see you busy at "building an ark," making preparations for the rain, even though they may not see it
coming as clearly as you do, so that when it comes, when it's going to start pouring, they will know that you have been
prophets among them. (II:83)

The Antichrist will be the epitome of the perfection of the flesh, of the carnal mind, and it will turn out to be the epitome of
defiance against God. (II:310)

When nothing on Earth will go or flow anymore, no more gas, no more oil, no more water, no more electricity, then My
power will still be running through you! (II:322)

As the merging of the dimensions approaches, you will first witness that this world is going to become more and more like
hell.
All those horror visions of the book of Revelation are real, but some people are afraid to deal with it.
Sooner or later, it's going to be all-out war. No more peaceful coexistence then. (II:340)

Sooner or later the System won't be there anymore for you to rely on. I don't want you to put your trust or build your
existence on sinking ground, that sinking ship, lest you go down with it. (II:387)

241
The greatest need and hunger is for the spiritual riches, and being wise - like Joseph - is storing up a lot of spiritual wealth
to share with the world during its leanest years it will have ever seen. The greatest famine I want you to prepare for is the
spiritual famine. (II:407)

Show them the signs that show which way the world is going and that confirm to you the things that you believe are going
to happen.
As much as you'd like to have this world be over with, so that I could whisk you away to a better place where you would
enjoy life a lot more, this life is really very valuable, and I'm not going to rescue you prematurely. (II:417)

The devil has been brainwashing people with his definition of good and bad, which the AC will take to the ultimate
extreme: it will be him labeling you as the "bad guys" that will trigger the greatest persecution of all times and the greatest
tribulation of all times, consequently. (II:482)

I have to allow the storms to come, to purge your hearts and make you white. Woe unto them who think that all things will
continue as they were.
Who will be ready when the hour of temptation comes? Who will stand? Who is wise to take heed? Who will not fall for the
apparent, for that which the eyes see; but who sees deeper, below the surface, and can discern what's really going on?
(II:504)

Right now you're all training with weights, but someday soon you're going to fly!
It's a promise I'm going to keep, as unbelievable as it may sound to unbelieving ears! That age-old dream... I'm going to
fulfill it! I'm going to make it come to pass! It's going to be part of My great "Restoration Act Part 1," at the Rapture, which
will herald the Millennium! (II:505)

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!
Sometimes it simply isn't appropriate anymore for all that chatter to continue; there will even come a time when there will
be complete silence in heaven for half an hour (Rev.8:1). You're seeking happiness, laughter and diversion, but it's a time to
quiet down and tune in to what is going to happen, lest you be caught by surprise! (II:510)

Weeds usually grow faster than good crops, and the weeds seems to threaten to choke My good crops, but you know and
can trust that in the end, I, the Wood Chopper will descend with My axe upon all those evil growths of darkness and will
make an end for them and cast them in the fire.
Trust in spite of all that the weeds of darkness can threaten to do; continue to believe and see My light beyond the
apparent darkness, knowing that the darkness - no matter how gloomy - is only temporal, soon to be chased away by My
glorious, eternal Light. (II:551)

The true believers prepare not only themselves but also others for what is to come. Instead of kidding themselves into
believing that they still have forever to reach the lost, they heed My warnings in My Word that time is short, and My advice
to redeem the time, for the days are evil. (II:646)

There will always come a breakthrough into the light, even after the darkest night.
Focus on that hope, that dawn that will always be there after a stretch of darkness. As the days grow darker and more evil,
and the fog thickens, remember that glorious dawn that awaits you.
Ill be back for you, just like I promised. Faith is the ability to enjoy that knowledge and act assured of My promises, to be
so sure of the victory that you can almost act as if I had already come and delivered you. (II:648)

The closer you get to the Tribulation, the greater the atrocities that are being committed in the world around you, the less
there is time for laughter! (III:57)

The virgins heard that the Bridegroom was coming, and they went out toward Him, to meet Him. Thank you for meeting Me
half-way! Thank you for preparing for My coming, for making sure you always have enough oil in your lamps! (III:87)

Satan may attempt to intimidate you with his displays of authority and power, but you know none of it is real, and his days
are numbered. You may be nothing more than a refugee, one of the "underground," one of those he labels "terrorists," but
you know beyond a doubt that you are part of the true and eternal Kingdom which soon is going to be rightfully restored to
the true King and its Maker. (III:95)

In the times of scarcity to come the pleasures of Egypt will abruptly cease, and survival will become a matter of
continuous miracles. (III:116)

I'm preparing you for the time when there will be all-out war between you and the System, and that could happen rather
quickly. And like Pharaoh of old, they will have to be shown and taught that you're not afraid of their threats, because I'm
on your side.
Eventually, My Endtime Underground will have to break with the System, its ties with the System, its dependence on the
System.

242
You know from My Word that eventually they'll start hounding and persecuting you, so you can't live as if your life and
destiny was meant to be one of perpetual peace with the System. (III:136)

You're the stars of My show, and you become bringers of life in this world, sources of words of wisdom and the pivots on
which hinges the equilibrium of all, without which there would be a false balance which would cause everything to
collapse, which is precisely what will happen when the enemy will try to wipe you out, My true church, during the Great
Tribulation, the times of trouble and hour of darkness I have foretold.
In that hour of darkness you will shine brightest of all. Right now there's still some twilight, and the world isn't as
desperate yet for your light, but when the devil's light will collapse and turn into darkness, reveal itself as what it really is,
then there's going to be great desperation among those who are My followers at heart, and who don't really want to follow
the devil. (III:141)

If you discern the signs of the times, you can tell that time is getting shorter, and you'd rather have an impact on people's
lives that's going to cause them to make appropriate changes now than a day too late.
I don't want to scare you, but I also don't want you to be lethargic or take it too lightly, thinking that things are going to
continue forever as they are. (III:151)

Youre living in times that will just continue to wax worse and worse. The world is getting ready for the devil's version of
"Pentecost," when he will pour out his spirit in such measure that he and his angels will literally possess those who will
follow him and his "son," his chosen one.
There will be no compromising with the antichrist. You'll be either for him and against Me or vice versa. The ultimate
decision and choice will be required, and from then on there will be no more double-minded compromising. It will be either
all or nothing at all. (III:157)

There is a maniac at the controls of this world, and he's planning to take over completely.
The Scriptures and prophecies and warnings about the antichrist were not just empty scare tactics, or a fairy tale that's
suddenly going to happen at the end of the world, and then it's over.
The author of confusion has been marshaling his forces for a long time now, and the New World Order has been in the
careful planning and making.
Few have the guts to face the coming Tribulation with courage and the faith, that I am going to manifest My power on their
behalf in an unprecedented manner, because that's going to be what it takes to face the unprecedented flood of evil that's
almost upon you. (III:182)

The winds of change are blowing, but man's nature is thus that he often ignores them and resists them. He tries to keep
things the way they are, tries to preserve and conserve them, and continue all things as they have been (2.Peter 3:4).
But My judgments usually came swiftly, when they came, and caused a mighty widening of the eyes of those who did not
discern the signs of the times, and thus it shall be again. That's why I need you to be prepared and on guard, and not
slack. I need you to be alert! (III:229)

The right attitude to have toward the coming AC kingdom is not one of defiance as yet, since it is coming as My final
judgment of the world, and like all things, you must take it as from My hand, and herald and welcome it as My course of
events that I have chosen for the world, not like many of those who think they've got to prevent it at all costs, in order to
preserve the freedom of their oh-so "godly" nation. (III:234)

There will be Heaven on Earth, because a good deal of Heaven's population is going to come down to invade the earth and
take it over by force, by battle, and by an actual, physical revolution.
The tyrant who will have usurped this earth for too long will finally be toppled and disposed of, and the King of Heaven will
reassume His rightful title of King of Heaven and Earth. (III:237)

When I apply judgment to people I'm trying to finally get their attention.
The judgment scare is very impressive and sobering, and I'm afraid we're not going to get around it in the long run.
One of the first Endtime events that has to unfold is, "And this Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached in all nations, and
then shall the End come" (Mt.24:14). I still need you to do a bit more preaching, before I can ring in the last act!
So, if you want the judgment to come, just make sure you do your part and warn them first! (III:256)

In Heaven it will be a very interesting and fascinating study for untold millions and billions yet to come, what voices of
truth were around during the great era of lies, the Endtime, when the enemy was given full rein, and only a relative handful
withstood the lure and magic of his mass hypnotism (Eze.33:33). (III:263)

During the Great Tribulation basically you're not going to be able to do much more than sit it out. You can try your best to
witness and win a few souls here or there, but mainly, it's just going to be about having to survive the ordeal somehow,
which is going to be tough enough, and a strong enough testimony in itself of My Power to keep you through anything.
(III:277)

Satan may pretend to be the hero of the "free thinkers," but in reality, he's not nearly as much into free choice as I am, as
his "New World Order" will show, at the latest when he will make the mark obligatory for anyone who wishes to survive...

243
He's really a dictator at heart, and all his "goodie-goodie" show that he's pulling off right now, of being a promoter of
democracy, etc., and "let the kids have some fun," is just that: pure show. As soon as they're all in the trap, he's going to
pull the plug, and the fun will be over, once and for all.
It's not going to be called the "Great Tribulation" for nothing: the fun will be over, period.
He's going to come up with what he's really good at - the only thing: creating hell on earth.
He'll show his true face, eventually. (III:309)

The enemy is going to be instrumental in bringing about My plan, since the world won't be ready for My one-world religion
until the devil will have imposed his on them. They'll appreciate what I have to say, once they'll have known the kind of
spirituality or moral code the devil had to offer... (III:330)

All the terrible ways in which today's unwise leaders are leading the world down the drain serve My greater purpose of
bringing about the Endtime scenario: It's all getting to the point where they will desperately need supernatural help and
guidance. And so, first the devil will have his turn, through the Antichrist, and upon having failed utterly, the world will
finally be ready for My supernatural intervention.
So, if things were a lot better than they are, it would mean that the time of My Coming would still be more in the distance.
But with things becoming so bad, you can tell, "Oh, redemption must be drawing nigh" (Lk.21:28). (III:340)

The devil and his forces permeate this present reality and influence it according to their liking.
They go, "C'mon, let's have some fun and mess up God's creation and the beauty of things some more!"
When he'll pose as the great "solution giver" through the antichrist, he'll just tell'em to stop all the things he's been egging
them on to do all along thus far.
It's not that he would really care about the environment, much less the survival of mankind. He's just interested in lording
it out over creation for as long as he possibly can get away with it, but he knows his time will be short once he'll be down
here for his "grand moment."
We have to bring this big lesson for all mankind and the whole universe to a close. We've got to wrap it up, and there's just
no happy ending without his innuendo. (III:344)

Are you actively feeding My flock on a professional level, in order to ensure not only your own, but also their survival
through the rough times in the near future?
When trouble comes - and trouble will come - who is likely to stand their ground and not lose their faith? Those who have
been strengthening it and feeding it and investing their time in it, right? So, you're going to be a very substantial and
needed help for them in order not to lose it, during those times, and that's a calling. You could call that a profession. It's a
profession you've taken on by faith, for a need you believe by faith is going to arise, based on My Word, that things are not
going to continue the way they are.
You have believed in change, and have invested your time accordingly, not in the ways of this world, which you know are
going to change, but in My eternal and everlasting and unshakable values. You've been growing something and building
something that might not make much sense to the onlookers, similar to the way it must not have made sense for people
that Noah was building an Arc on dry land, and on top of it, housing thousands of animals in it...
Even so you see a lot of people deserting you and running off, following the lures of this world... The Devil knows how to
get them and how to tempt them. Yet, when the flood came, it sure was a good thing that Noah had built that thing, wasn't
it? And even so, when the devil's flood of iniquity and lies is going to sweep this world for it's greatest hour of temptation
yet, you're not going to be sorry you've been investing your time in building your faith.
The time you're going to have invested in strengthening your faith and establishing this line of communication with Me will
seem anything but wasted then! You'll be one of the few who are going to turn out to have done the right thing!
There's going to be a huge vacuum for the kind of stuff that you've got to offer, when the time comes. They'll come running
to you for answers.
It will be evident that you will be among those whom I have elected to lead My people out of this mess!
Those which I'm referring to as My professionals are the very elect, the ones whom Satan won't be able to deceive,
because they've been so busy soaking up the truth, they will be immune to his poison flood!
When all the others will run out of their professions and jobs and their usefulness, then it will show who will have been the
wise investors and real professionals in My eyes! (III:355)

Relax and enjoy your days while you can! The rough times are going to come, and they're also going to work for you in
making people more receptive, making the truth you've got to share more obvious, easier to receive and believe. The
coming events will confirm what you've got to say, just as current events are already preparing the way and hearts of the
people.
Time is on My side! The devil would have you believe the opposite, that it's on his side, and in some ways it's true: time
will eventually play the world completely into his hands. But only for Me to snatch it away from him again forever! (III:363)

The flesh thinks and trusts that all things will continue as they are, thats why they will always continue to work as they
have been for all these years and decades. No major changes have happened yet, so its unlikely to assume that theyre
still going to happen, so, why make any unnecessary preparations or adaptations? Like the parable of the frog: If you put
him in hot water, hell immediately jump out but if you heat up the water gradually, hell stay inside until the water starts
boiling.

244
So, if circumstances are becoming quite uncomfortable and almost unbearable for you, maybe its because somethings
severely wrong, and going to become worse. Maybe its an indicator that the water is becoming very hot, and its time for
drastic changes, time to jump out, before youre going to boil.
The enemys the one who started the fire, and hes cooking his great final meal, his final empire and World Order. (III:376)

I want you to be open for greater changes rolling in with the future, and prepare for whats to come.
Things are going to tighten up. Theyre not going to become more open. Authorities worldwide are soon going to start
clamping down and closing in on the undesirable elements of society, as they already are, making it more and more
difficult for people to lead alternative life-styles
I want you to be aware that changes might be required in the future, and not to be stuck in your present mindset, but
realize that you may have to adapt to times becoming darker and more severe, even darker than the Roman persecution
and the Inquisition!
So, it behooves you to walk wisely toward them that are without, and to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
In light of whats coming at you - the Tribulation - you will want to avoid sticking out unnecessarily.
People arent exactly becoming more tolerant as the times wax worse and worse and the days grow darker! (III:378)

With the severity of troubles increasing, you had also better learn to turn up your prayer power accordingly.
In order to prepare you for the Tribulation, I sometimes have to allow little foretastes and shadows of tribulation in your
life, to get you into praying mode, desperate mode, no-longer-things-as-usual mode (III:387)

Its the end of the world as we know it, and youll only feel fine if you have truly learned to put your trust in Me to the
extent where it really wont faze you if its going down. (III:405)

Were developing personality here, and leadership qualities of the kind that will be needed during the days to come; the
kind of light that can shine its way through the darkness of the Tribulation. Lights and energies that will rely on others will
peter out sooner or later Only those who are plugged in directly to Me and My power will have what it takes to make it
through the night. (III:411)

Even in the midst of the greatest darkness on Earth, we can have the fires of love burning! Thats the fire the world will
need then, the fire by which they will warm themselves through the long, cold, lonely winter before I finally come to take
you all Home with Me.
Youll need to learn endurance to make it through that period. You cant become impatient about My return, nor can you
become weary of hardship so easily. The best is yet to come, but unfortunately, the worst is also yet to come, so youll
understand that it takes a few more lessons on endurance before youll be ready for that darkest chapter of mans history.
(III:420)

What youre witnessing right now is only the beginning of sorrows, as you know from the book of Revelation.
Things are going to get worse, and I need for My children to have a mature attitude and wisdom. (III:422)

Before an impending storm, crisis or famine, its a good and wise thing to collect wisdom and experience that will see you
through the storm, and when the time comes, others with you, hopefully.
The battle youre having to fight now will make you strong for that time. You will need that strength then.
Youre learning things right now that are going to come in handy when their System has long gone down the drain. (III:426)

The time of physical dearth will be a time of spiritual harvest.

The confusion that is coming in the world will straighten the path for greater acceptance of My simplicity, clarity and truth.
(III:428)

Thats one of the great secrets: the stillness, the acceptance of yielding to the hand of God in your life, even if it brings
times of trouble and sorrow, to just let it be.
Most Christians rebel against that idea and say, No, we are Gods children. We shall not see any sorrow. Hes going to
whisk us into Heaven before the Tribulation comes.
But My children need to pass through the Tribulation in order to be cleansed and purified from their sins, from their many
lacks and ways in which they are failing to love Me truthfully, genuinely and sincerely.
Part of loving Me is manifested in loving the truth, and not settling for any comfortable half-truth and compromise with the
truth, such as the easy-way-out Pre-Tribulation-Rapture doctrine, etc.
They want Me to whisk them out of this world and into Heaven before the Tribulation that would make them clean and pure
and white for Me. They want the easy way out; they dont want to go the full length of the path for Me. (III:433)

You dont have much to do with the governing politics of today, this is not your time, its the day of the usurper, and hes
going to have his heyday soon. (III:449)

Were entering a dark period the darkest, in fact of history where man will be deprived of more liberties, luxuries and
benefits than he has ever had to do without, and that after the time of his greatest indulgence Thats going to be quite a
test, and Im just giving you a little bit of training at that in order to make the transition not all too hard for you.
Many wont be able to cope with being deprived of and having to give up so many of the things they had grown
accustomed to, and that they have been taking for granted all along. (III:450)
245
As you know from the Scriptures, one of the signs of the time of the End in which youre living is that Because iniquity (or
unbelief) shall abound, the love of many will wax cold.
Hes trying to kill the love, not only in the world, but also in My people around the world.
He manipulates people subtly and cleverly into operating out of selfish interests, and so selfishness, sometimes subtly
disguised, is often the true incentive that motivates people, even if they may claim to be acting out of love. (III:454)

John and Daniel had to earn their laurels, in order to receive such high-ranking, high-quality revelations from Me, and
their revelations had virtually no relevance for themselves, but they were principally for your purpose, upon whom the
ends of the world have come.
You notice it says ends, signifying that there are various incidents that could constitute the end of the world as we
know it for some people.
You never know just how much longer the whole money game is going to last. It might be over sooner than some people
think, and Show Me the Money will acquire another meaning then. It will mean, Show Me the goods! Show Me what you
have learned and earned with all thats been given you and invested in you.
When the money will collapse, it will become evident what people will have invested their lives in, and whether it will still
be worth anything or not. (III:455)

Its a dying world. They may not know it yet. In a world where the young are giving the impression that they rule, because
all that is portrayed all over is youth, and youth rules, they dont realize that theyre in reality only manipulated by a few
greedy old men, who hold them like singing and dancing puppets on a string, like Pinocchio, while theyre raking in the
money, rob them of their liberty and suck the very life out of them.
Its hard to see the reality behind this farce, that in spite of its phony youthful appearance, this world is really rotting and
dying, and almost decaying. Theres nothing fresh about it. They have allowed sin to enter, and the wages of sin is death, a
death that is now rapidly creeping all over the world. They may not notice it while the music keeps playing and the laughter
drags on, and their fancy dances, but its all just a farce the devil keeps going, under the motto the show must go on,
only to hide whats truly happening beneath the surface: theyre getting ready for the total enslavement of mankind.
Theyre dying, and they dont even know it. They keep dancing and fiddling on their fancy big boat, and dont even realize
that theyre already up to their necks in icy water
Keep preaching and broadcasting that truth by any means available, so that at least they cant say they never heard it,
theyd never been warned. Of course its not what they want to hear. It wouldnt have been very favorably received if
someone had gone around on the Titanic saying, Excuse me, but this ship is going to sink! After all, she was deemed
unsinkable. And thats what they think about their System.
The Enemys kingdom is coming into being, the Devils kingdom of darkness on earth, the creeping death thats inevitably
taking ahold of them and their world.
I have sent you to preach the Good News of the Gospel, but for those who will reject it, it becomes bad news, because it
signals, heralds and ushers in their doom and downfall.
The truth which has been uttered will come to pass and be fulfilled. As long as there are My voices of truth, I will do My
part to vindicate them and to prove them right. The world may say theyre nuts and laugh about them and ridicule them
and dismiss them, but I will always prove them right in the end. It may not always happen immediately or exactly the same
way it may have been interpreted, but in the end it will happen and come to pass. (III:480)

On one hand, the times in which you are living are more evil than the days in which I was living, and there will come a time
when it will be necessary for you to curse your enemies and defend yourselves from them with My power.
On the other, you are supposed to show love for as long as you can, and as much as you can. Once you see they rejected
that love for good, then they are basically cursed already by their own decisions, and will bring events upon their heads
that will either make them repent eventually, or, if they continue to close their hearts, theyll eventually go down into the pit
without you adding any efforts to their misfortune. (III:491)

The enemy is feverishly establishing his New World Order, which he will raise from the crumbled ruins and the ashes of
the chaos and confusion and downright anarchy hes creating right now.
Hes creating the disease in order to present the cure to it all with his phony imitation of My Kingdom. The world is going
to have to go through that in order to find out where its not at. (III:493)

Tough changes are up ahead, and the sooner you get ready for change and for whats ahead, the better equipped youre
going to be.
Youre going to have to bear and put up with worse evils than the ones youre currently having to fight and put up with, so,
be thankful for the ones youve got, for they will prepare you for the tougher road up ahead, greater obstacles and fiercer
adversaries. (III:496)

Tough jobs in the present are ideal preparation for the tough job the future is going to bring, of survival in a wicked world
ruled by the incarnation of the devil himself. (III:502)

Never before has any nation or world power had the same ability to make all other nations as drunk on its wine as America.
They live in their illusion of We Are the Champions, while even some of their own prophets are proclaiming that attitude
an illusion, proclaiming the fall of the American Empire.

She tries to get a free ride on the back of the power and the strength of this world, because thats where her love lies. She
doesnt truly love Me, My meek and seemingly weak and humble ways. She prefers the pride of life, and so she tries to get
a ride on the back of the Beast and pretends to be the Queen of the World, but only until that Beasts gets tired of her and
rends her into pieces.
The Antichrist will be the final instrument to bring on that judgment over her, to let her reap what she has sown, and to
fulfill My commandment to give her double of the cup and portion of destruction and suffering that she has given to the
world.
Its not only going to be the Antichrist destroying her, but also the ten kings who will give him their power. It will be almost
like a collective judgment of the main leaders of the world on the great culprit, and along with her they will of course try to
wipe out and destroy all she stood for, including her supposedly Christian values and everything associated with them.
As time goes by, the puzzle will become clearer, and reveal the whole picture. Its part of your ministry to decipher and
discover the meaning of these things. You learn to read My handwritings on the wall and interpret them for the world, just
as Daniel did for the bear of his day, the Medo-Persian empire and its ruler.
Youre having another dual kingdom represented by a bear right now, ready to devour the Babylon of this day and age
Its also significant that the Medo-Persian bear had three ribs in his mouth, just as three horns of the ten will be uprooted
before the Antichrist (III:516)

The Devil chose this time of technological advances to make his big appearance and reveal himself to the world, a time
during which man is showing the ultimate of his strength, wit, achievements and knowledge.
It makes Me and My life seem more irrelevant, more distant, more humble and smaller, less impressive to those who are
carnal minded, compared to all the great achievements of man and the supposed progress he has made scientifically,
socially and in the ways hes making his presence on the planet seen.
Man has become somebody, and its in that kind of environment that the enemy would like to present himself as the
greatest somebody of all. (III:567)

Some of the things that are being said right now, some of the Endtime interpretations, etc., are still hanging in the
balances. But the actual development of those events are going to tell the true from the false interpretations, and that
which has been truth all along will then crystallize and show and reveal itself to have been the real thing, and stand out as
such, apart from all the other, false or incorrect interpretations.
Time will tell whos been right or wrong. (III:586)

People basically love to be manipulated, and thats also why they will receive the Antichrist with wide open arms, since he
will be the chief manipulator of all times. (IV:19)

Hold that fast which thou hast! Behold I come quickly. I may not have returned as soon as some of you would have
wanted Me to, but all in all, youll see that this whole story is going to be done and over with relatively quickly, and as I
said, When you see these things begin to come to pass, look up, for your redemption draws nigh.
It wont be long now, before the world is going to get so bad that many will say, Stop this world, I want to get off! And
those that will call upon My name will be saved out of it.
There is a path of much suffering ahead for the world, and I need you to brace yourself for it, but I also need you to focus
on the glorious happy ending, and instill hope.
The days are evil indeed, and time needs to be redeemed, not wasted. Every moment is precious, and I truly need you to
invest your efforts in the spreading of the truth. (IV:46)

The winter of the world is coming on. Its not anymore the days of joy and merriment, although you may still have time to
enjoy a few more of those, but in general, its a time of warning, of desperation, because soon all these things must come
to pass that I have spoken through My prophets. (IV:47)

Since death entered through disobedience, things naturally tend to decay. Things are getting worse, not better, and that
process isnt going to be reversed until I return to restore things to the way they were before
The same power that brought the original positive chain reaction of Creation into being, will restore it in the end, too, when
the big basic chapter of this part of history will be concluded. The Era of the Fall will soon come to an end, to be
replaced by a better one.
You shouldnt worry about the state youre in right now, the way youre prone to make mistakes and allow sin to enter in
your life, as much as you should look at Me and the fact that Im going to put an end to all that soon, because that is what
really matters.
What matters is not that youre bad, but that the end of badness is in sight, and your actual, physical redemption from all
of this, at My return, is drawing closer and closer. (IV:54)

Only those with great faith can see the extent to which the enemy has taken over this world, but still know that in reality it
is I Who have got the whole world in My hands, and only allow him to pull off his little game of playing god of the world
for a little while, along with all his little gods who follow him and his lets all be gods scheme.
He may still feel all-powerful as long as hes in My Realm, the Spirit Realm, but once hell be confined to the limitations of
the physical world, the magics going to wear off real fast.
Hes going to turn out to be just as much subject to sin as every other slave to their own lusts and evil in their hearts since
the beginning of time. The evil he actually introduced into the world at the beginning will turn out to be his own demise and

247
Achilles heel, as it will turn on him and cause him to make the mistakes that will cost him the ruler-ship over this world,
which presently he may still think is rightfully his.
But in the end it will be mighty clear that he will have muffed it, and that the world would never survive if he would stay in
power. All creation groans to be delivered of the grip of the usurper. (IV:65)

The fulfillment of My Promises requires supernatural measures. Things unseen and unheard of since the beginning of
time, although My prophets have foretold it from Enoch to John, that I would come with tens of thousands of My saints in
the sky
Thats definitely something hard to picture for the average rational mind, and probably the majority of folks around you
would call you a lunatic if you told them that you believe that thats whats going to happen some day soon. Well, but if
youre going to believe that outrageously impossible happy ending for the sad story the history of this world so far has
been, then you can also start believing Me for smaller impossibilities today, and allow Me to work contrary to natural
reasoning in your life.
If Im going to intervene supernaturally and save this whole world from the mess it has gotten itself into, then am I not
going to be able to do the same for you and change any less than favorable situation youre in into a better one?
Except for the last two witnesses who are going to make a lot of worldwide noise via the media, what My church will
basically have to do is patiently wait it out until My return during the Tribulation, because its going to be the night, of
which I spoke, which cometh, when no man can work.
Thats why its very important that you give the world the message as much as you can beforehand, before the Tribulation,
and before the mark of the Beast will be implemented and the church will be persecuted, because the night cometh when
no man can work. (IV:69)

Im literally having to allow this world to die in order for it to become desperate enough to finally accept and welcome My
return to reclaim My own.
The Antichrist is going to prove just how much better the world will be without religion altogether, and thats when things
will get so bad that Im simply going to have to come to the rescue. (IV:85)

The New World Order will be one last pitiful example of an empire built and founded on the wrong values based on man
putting himself above Me in his own mind and set of priorities, one last glorious attempt of man to rule over the earth in all
the splendor and greatness he can come up with, only to once again fail because of the corruption of his own heart, and to
be conquered by Me and My lasting Kingdom to once and for all show how its really done properly.
It takes a genuine King and ruler in order to rule properly and justly, not a fake and usurper such as Satan, who is getting
ready for his final and supreme act of posing as king of the world, adored and worshiped by all those he has led astray
by his false doctrines, morals and rules that blatantly defy Mine. (IV:137)

Time is short because the night comes when no man can work, and youll be thankful for everything you did before that to
strengthen your own faith as well as that of others.
Youll be thankful for every moment you invested in your spiritual preparation and strengthening for that time. Even if
youre not to experience the Tribulation yourself, youll be grateful for every moment you invest in the eternal instead of
wasting time on trivial, earthly matters and personal entertainment. (IV:147)

Theres nothing like trouble to awaken peoples interest in the truth.

The trouble with the truth is that theres nothing like trouble that makes people want any of it
Until then, theyre perfectly happy and content living in the lie. The lie becomes the new truth, the new gospel, the new
credo by which everything works, and if you dont adhere to it, youre out, old-fashioned or conservative.
The best camouflage for an old, rotten lie is youth. If the devil could get youth to adopt his gospel of selfishness, greed
and sheer egotism as the only existing truth, then nothing was going to be able to save the world anymore from his reign,
and thats just about what has happened.
Now theyre all enslaved by his evil dogma, and soon hes going to come up with the great solution for his own problem
that he caused, but as usual, will blame someone else for, and you know who his favorite scapegoat is
Only, since he is declaring that Im only a myth, hes going to make those the scapegoats who have the audacity to cling to
their belief in Me His scapegoat is going to be the church.
There were those who denied My existence and becoming flesh during the time of the Roman persecutions, but the great
apostasy or falling away will be that despite the fact that My existence as an actual living Person had been well
established for centuries, a resurge of that spirit of antichrist will occur, where people simply deny that I ever existed
altogether
The Jesus Myth is the Devils great and final campaign to gather his forces against Mine. What better way to eliminate
your enemy than just reducing him to a fairy-tale?
Thats why only those are going to be able to survive this onslaught and evade his deception who cling to Me as their only
and ultimate Reality, and why clinging to Me is your only hope.
He will try to destroy peoples faith in Me on such a large scale that only those who really know Me will not fall for his flood
of lies. (IV:171)

Let Me do My job of taking care of you while you do yours of taking care of the sheep and seeing to it that there will be
material to feed them when the time comes and they will be more desperate for it because My prophecies of old will be
fulfilled before their eyes, and it will be harder for them not to believe then, and they will be desperate for guidance and
spiritual nourishment.
248
Right now its still pretty much by faith, and some of those events look as if they might happen or not, but once they will be
happening, those who have read and heard the prophecies of old wont be able to deny their authenticity anymore, and
they will know that the Bible was right and truth all along, and those who proclaimed My Words had been in the right all
along (IV:195)

When trouble comes you wont be able to rely on any group. Youre going to have to be able to rely on Me; thats what
matters, and thats what will count: how much will you have learned to truly rely on Me?
That will determine the extent to which you will panic or not even when everyone else around you will be panicking.
The extent to which youre learning to trust Me calmly now in the face of adversity and loss will determine how well youll
be faring then, when adversity and loss will reach unprecedented proportions. (IV:196)

The story is nearly done being told, and though theres yet one last dark and fierce chapter to be written and told, the
glorious ending is also coming into sight.
The greatest slaughter since the beginning of history is still before us and impending, and its not as if I particularly enjoy
that sort of bloodshed. But just as My blood had to be shed, and the blood of Abel was shed, and the blood of every lamb
of sacrifice since the beginning of the world, so the world needs to pay the consequences for having chosen the way of sin
over and over and over again.
The lesson has to be made unequivocally clear. It has to stick.
Mankind will only appreciate peace and reconciliation with Me after the most horrible wars have been fought, that will be
remembered as signs and tokens of warning, so they will truly be able to say from their hearts, never again. (IV:203)

Sooner or later things will become bad one way or another.

Perhaps Im preparing all of you for that time right now.
Perhaps it has come to that
Perhaps things could be worse, and perhaps they will be. Perhaps My Word is right, after all, about its prognosis as far as
the future of the world is concerned, and the sooner people learn to depend on Me, the better off theyre going to be
(IV:210)

The hard times are a much more excellent preparation for whats to come than the easy times, which only tend to further
spoil you, so just try to enjoy the hard times for what they are, because for one thing, theyre not nearly as hard as they
could be, and are inevitably going to be. (IV:214)

You know from My Word that the Antichrist and his reign must happen, because they have been prophesied and foretold
thousands of years ago. What has been written must come to pass.
Making people aware of only one side of the truth is not going to help much. They need to know both the truth about the
System, as well as the truth about Me, the only Way out! (IV:223)

The world around your ears may be crumbling and falling apart, and all the while, from its ashes, another better one is
rising, a lasting one. You are only the tip of the iceberg, the tip of the mountain that will one day fill the entire earth, as
Daniel prophesied (Dan.2:35, 44).
Compared to all the mayhem and destruction around you, that tiny tip may not seem like much, and all the evil in the world
may seem overwhelming by comparison, but just wait and see: Im not done yet. Its merely the tip of the iceberg thats
going to sink the devils proud and haughty Titanic, and that mountain is going to fill the Earth, even as I have promised.
(IV:240)

Many atheists want the glory and credit for themselves, which is exactly what the devil wanted, too, and it shows just how
much alike their ways of thinking are, and another factor why they refuse to accept him as a reality: If they would accept
the Devil as a reality, they would actually recognize the similarities between their trains of thought.
If there would be a party presenting Lucifer as the cool dude that he makes himself out to be, they would rally behind
him and say, Yeah, we can relate to his way of thinking, and thats whats basically going to happen when the Antichrist
arises; they will recognize him: Now thats our man! (IV:241)

Some peoples motivation for rejecting the biblical truth is in part fear. They cannot associate My Return and the end of
the world with anything good: they would prefer to see it keep going, so that no evil should befall them and their families.
What they fail to realize, though, is that the longer this world goes on, the more likely evil is bound to befall them, and that
My Return will be principally for the purpose of putting an end to all that evil. (IV:278)

They want war? They can have it, and theyre going to have it, and theyre also going to find out that theyre going to lose
it. Ive been letting them run this show for so long now, they think theyre practically invincible: Come, Let us break their
bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us They think they can get rid of Me and of My authority. But you know
the end of that chapter, and Who it is that will laugh last (Psalm 2). (IV:285)

The Enemy certainly landed a genius master stroke with this camouflage of disguising the greatest perpetrators of evil in
the world as Christians and as those supposedly faring under My flag.
Its the ultimate atrocity, what the Bible used to call an abomination, which will ultimately be instrumental in bringing about
the Devils final abomination of Desolation. (IV:287)

249
Remember My warning that the time before My Coming was going to be like the days of Noah, where they married and
gave into marriage, ate and drank and didnt take heed until it was too late (IV:310)

Its a heavy burden to be hated by the world, but its one youre simply going to have to get used to in the light of unfolding
Endtime events. (IV:324)

The end of the world as you know it is before you, just as it was in the days of Noah, and preparations must be made, and
work invested that will ensure the salvation of the chosen.

in the end, only what you will have done in preparation for the other world really counts.

Never before was the world as much the Devils as today, filled with his ways and workings, and the more it becomes his,
the less I am welcome in it, and the less welcome I am, the less are you.

There is plenty of reason for concern, alertness, and for being on guard. The Devil is still walking about as a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour, and just like I, he has gathered himself an army that has outgrown any previous numbers.
His power on earth is greater than ever before, soon to burst into his notion of all-powerfulness that will lead to the
dreadful final chapter of world history.
Im giving you glimpses of what things really look like behind the scenes, and the aspects arent rosy right now for the
world, and even My brides will have to brace themselves for whats to come!

Those who claim I am my own wheel only wind up as another cog in the same old rut and machine that will effectively
get them nowhere, except the same starting point when the race of this world will have reached its finishing line: the end
of the old and beginning of the New. (2011:9)

Just as it was the case with the precedent, so it will be with the sequence and final events. Those things happened as an
ensample a prototype of what would happen unto you, upon whom the ends of the world have come.
They went through it and came out alright, and so will you. (2011:19)

The System is based on war, and it is war at its core: basically everyone fighting to the death for their own cause. Thats
whats so fiendish about this whole world, and the main reason why I have no part in it and why I am their worst Enemy, in
fact, the One to bring about an end to this selfish, cruel and murderous game in due time. (2011:94)

Life may be hard at present, but its going to get harder, and it behooves you to appreciate these times, instead of
complaining about them, for if you think this is as tough as it gets, you aint seen nuthin yet.
So when life tends to overwhelm you, think about how much worse things could be and most likely will be very soon, and
make the most of what youve got right now, because it wont last forever.
I know, those are not very bright prospects, nor is this counsel very effective in cheering you up, but it should come as no
surprise to you, since Ive been preparing you along with others of My children for years, that theres tougher times
coming up ahead, and complaining about the present is just about the most useless thing you can do in order to get ready.
You ought to redeem the time and take advantage of every moment youve got right now to strengthen you for potentially
much bigger trouble and problems and challenges on a much larger scale than you or anyone have ever had to face
before. (2011:100)

Things keep going in ways and directions that cannot be identified as Mine. The world is programmed for trouble, but
those who stick to My program will learn to rise above and survive the troubles to come. (2011:110)

Ultimately, when all else fails, it will take My intervention to save things. At the rate things are going, thats even a safe
prognosis on rational terms, and its simply the course history is taking. - Which doesnt mean that everybody wont have
learned an awful lot from the gigantic failure that will ensue. (2011:124)

Unbeknownst to the large majority, trouble is brewing beneath the surface thats soon to emerge, and things wont
continue as they are. (2012:72)

The end of your world, isnt to be dreaded but to be welcomed as the beginning of the new, the better the best.
Thats why theres not all that much to worry about. Therell be a happy ending, and thats basically all youve got to know,
no matter how bad it gets. In fact, the worse it gets, all the more glorious the contrast will be when that ending comes,
which will really only be the beginning. (2012:80)

The art of Endtime prophecy that people of the world would send each other gifts for having killed two terrorists always
sounded a bit unrealistic but coming to know the mentality of people in other parts of the world, one can see that this
very easily might happen in the not too distant future! (2012:172)

Everyone fending for themselves is the path of destruction mankind, and not really the way to go, as the tale of history will
show in the end, when man in all his glory will have reached his destination, which will turn out to be a dead end street.
(2012:185)

250
The big test is to see wholl be left standing when all the rest of the world has thrown in the towel, bowing down before the
Beast! (2013:2)

When your world comes to an end, remember that the end of your world is the beginning of Mine. (2013:46)

I cannot come until the man of sin will have been revealed, proclaiming to be God, in order to teach the world its ultimate
and final lesson (2013:74)

If Im already your only Hope right now to help you make it through your current mess, it will be much more the case then,
when the lines will be drawn much more clearly. And by exposing himself, the Devil will lose much of his power of
enchantment over those who will know better that his reign couldnt possibly be it, especially when theyll be persecuted
for their beliefs.
Another factor is that money will become extinct and replaced by the mark during the final period of his reign, and since
money and the acquisition thereof still plays a major role for most, currently, that will give you and them a lot of time for
other things, and a lot more incentive to seek My face and aid for survival, and I wont be playing a mere side role in your
daily affairs anymore, but the major one, as I did in the lives of the early disciples. (2013:85)

The help that the earth gave the woman from the flood from the dragons mouth in Johns vision was that it opened up and
swallowed it. They may swallow it, but you dont have to. Or, better put: They swallow it so that you dont have to and
drown in it!
The earth swallows the flood of lies so that you dont have to be affected by it since its obvious by the effects on them
that no drop of it would do you any good (2013:104)

People may not be receptive now, while theyre having everything they need and more; but what if and when all they need
and more will be pulled out from beneath them? (2013:121)

In general, the world is becoming tougher and more difficult. Remember that its all directing towards Endtime, and the
world isnt all as glorious in the shape and situation its in, even though a lot are pretending
Im really the only One Who can really help to see you through whats coming
You can tell the world isnt getting better right now A lot of stuff seems to get worse (2014:6)

To put up and bear with suffering and hardship will make you more able to bear whats expecting and bound to hit the
world Remember that a great tribulation has been predicted, and theres obviously some rough time to deal with and
overcome. (2014:21)

Its important to learn to make it through times with My help, as it will be during the Endtime (2014:35)

Are you beginning to realize how rare true and real Christianity and faith in Me and true discipleship is? And thus, how
close to be extinguished by the System which is becoming more and more anti-Christ?
See, just because the Endtime was postponed a bit, doesnt mean its not happening or going to (2014:53)

Sometimes it takes a few things happening to remind you that the world isnt governed by Me right now, but the Devil has
taken it over, and hes still planning to establish his own world government eventually, even though it hadnt happened as
early or soon as expected
But eventually, the end of the world is coming, and itll be better than whats largely happening now. (2014:56)

Therell be tough times in the Endtime, where folks will have to get through rough times and situations a time to
overcome things
The world ahead isnt exactly becoming a party time Youre the best off learning how to really find Me during tough
situations and timings. Learning how to get ahold of Me is pretty much the most valuable you possibly can learn. (2014:57)

Its a dangerous and tough time. The enemys trying to get rid of all those who might get in his way during the last time on
earth where hell put on his supreme reign of the Endtime. Being a top liar, he cant stand those who know the truth about
him and whod be able to warn the others (2014:66)

Keep holding on to Me, lean on Me and depend on Me as much as you can when you realize that you need Me in a weird
situation Just remember it wont get any better with the Devil taking over the globe soon as the AC.
Hes been working against Me as much as he could already since centuries but knowing that his last round is coming
soon where hell rule the world in person for 3 years of Great Tribulation it should get you a bit desperate. So far
youve been spared from it; but whats happening right now could be a sign that the tribulations coming closer, so you
might as well get and be ready (2014:67)

You were taught that the world was going to get into having to deal with and handle the Enemys forces in the Endtime
so you might as well get used to and prepared for it. (2014:68)

Its pretty close to the time of the end; so you must learn how to resist and strive against the attacks of the Devil, whos the
closest to his world-take-over, ever.
251
Most people arent aware of his planned world-takeover or his methods and effects on the world, but hes still quite busy
trying to make the world his as much as he possibly can. (2014:82)

With the world continuing to go down, it seems to be a good thing to become familiar with the way I can save your life,
instead of leaning on how you were able to maintain it the way you did before Certain things can occur in history during
which you cant lean on and confide in your own abilities anymore, but need to trust in Me and My help for you to survive
And, trust Me: Its the best time to start getting into that habit of trusting in Me for your survival now.
The way things are developing and bound to develop in the Endtime, youre going to have to trust more in Me than your
own capacities the way you did before. (2014:86)

The Endtime will start because of the time when the large masses started to be taught, think and believe that everything
came into being by itself via evolution no creation no God or creator - In other words, no one to create any rules
except for the politicians who tell people how to earn their money, and create the places to earn it.
It was necessary for you to find out that in general, the world has become more evil; in other words, closer to the time of
the end. (2014:105)

Life is going to be a little tougher, with the Endtime approaching, and its good for you to be prepared for it, and not expect
whats coming at you being a permanent vacation. (2014:134)

If you think about the martyrs during the Roman Empire: somewhat comparable to what things are going to be like during
the Great Tribulation, which is before you
Its a time coming that My followers and believers in Me need to be well prepared for. (2014:135)

Its a rough time, close to the Endtime announced in the Bible But you might as well be grateful that the end hasnt been
there yet! It makes you wonder whether itll come at all, and Gods Word is true at all Well, youll see. Right now it may
not seem much like it, after things having developed so differently from the way predicted they would But what if the
Devil just changed things around so much to get people to stop believing in the Endtime?
Things look different from the predictions of the Bible because the enemy does all he can to make things contradict those
predictions. A lot of people started believing during the 70s and 80s, and so he figured, things had to be changed And
they did. For him its always better to make it sound untrue what Gods Word is predicting for him, the less believers in
God, the better.
All the more will wind up believing in him when he takes over the last world ruler and makes him the AC.
Remember it wont be so long before folks will see Me, and things on earth will change again in a truly good way. (2014:149)

When the world was looking too good for you to prepare for My coming, or the coming of the AC before that, or whatever
crisis, there wasnt much motivation that made you get closer to Me
So, letting the world become the world again, the way you remembered some of it, just reminds you theres something
better waiting for you and drives you back closer to Me. (2014:150)

Things are going to get worse eventually, and its good to be prepared for it, having learned not to have to make it without
Gods and Heavens help.
If youre filled with worries and fear that youre not going to make it, well, its good preparation for the time coming when
nobodys going to make it without My help, unless they accept the Mark of the Beast, which true believers wouldnt want
to
And even before thats going to happen, its quite likely that the world is going to go through one of its worst economic
crises that will make survival quite rough in general only to be salvaged by the ACs mark of the Beast solution.
So, if you think your lifes too terrible right now, remember that there were worse times predicted which could have already
happened sooner, but didnt yet so, its good to become prepared for it!
All in all, you can tell that the world is pretty much almost completely run by the enemy already, especially countries like
the one youre in right now, and you can tell the Endtime is getting closer, so you might as well get prepared for it.
Its dark and evil times that are a-coming prepare for it! Since I, the Father and Our saints and heavenly helpers are the
only hope for folks like you to make it through whats coming, you better get closer to Us and learn how to depend on Us
and get ready and prepared for whats coming. (2014:153)

If you have to go through some rough times, remember that the world is expecting something even rougher, and you
ought to get as well prepared for it.
Even tough the times right now may not be as splendid as the ones before, just take them as preparation for whats to
come. (2014:181)

Depending on Me and the Father for Our help, with the Endtime eventually showing up, is the only way youll make it. For
believers to depend on themselves and their own abilities wont be quite enough so, the more you depend on Us, the
better.
Its also better to really trust in Us than putting or keeping your trust and confidence in money, which, as you know from
the prophecies about the Endtime with the Mark of the Beast, wont endure for ever.
So, its a preparation for a rougher future, during which youll be dependent on Us and Our help more than ever. (2014:184)

My Word does not predict this world in its current state to last forever! (2015:1)
252
Dont be too dismayed about any of the unpleasant incidents happening! After all, you know who was practically chosen
as the chief of this world, and that theres a big lesson following for all of the Fathers children, after this! (2015:2)

What can you expect from a world thats just about totally being taken over by the enemy and his lot?
Of course, he makes it the most difficult for any followers of Mine.
Its not gonna be pleasant for believers and followers of Mine to deal with a time when hell totally reign and rule the earth
and entire world (2015:6)

Its good if youre looking, calling for Me and seeking Me quite desperately. - Mainly because the times ahead of you in this
world arent going to turn into something much better. You know from informations you read before about the Endtime that
its going to be a tough one, including from the things I said about it in the book of Matthew. (Mt.24)
So, its good to become prepared for such things and not just expect pleasant times during your life on earth. (2015:12)

It wont take that long until Satans takeover down there, resulting in his final reign and its understandable that it wont
be an easy time for My followers and believers. But thats precisely the reason why Im having to put you through this
training and course of making you dependent on Me, My help and the Spirit, along with all Our helpers for the times to
come. (2015:15)

Changes are coming upon this world, for which it will be better for you as a believer in Us to put your trust and confidence
in Us, instead of yourself, in order for Us to help you make it through whats coming a phase during which trust in Us will
be better than in your own abilities. So, to lean not on the flesh and your own abilities, but in Our help instead, is pretty
important concerning the future of this world, and along with that, your own and that of your family.
There comes a time when folks have to decide which and whose help theyre going to rely on that from above or the one
from below (2015:16)

You know about a time coming in which the devil is going to reign on Earth. And dont you think thats pretty much hell,
where he reigns and takes over? So, this time is basically preparation for that. Get ready for Satans takeover as the
Antichrist, winding up forbidding worship of Me and My Father.
So, no wonder the days and times on earth are becoming less pleasant! So, you better prepare and get ready for that, and
not just keep expecting heaven on earth kind of times. Thatll come afterwards! But first its the biggest and toughest
lesson for mankind to learn
I like for My followers to be able to enjoy life for as long as possible. But as you can tell and see, that part is pretty much
practically over, and dark times are up ahead to get prepared for
if you cling close to Us and even get closer, the better off youll be in the end.
Relying on the flesh may seem okay in the beginning, but trust Me: it wont be toward the end youre getting close to. So,
the more you can rely on Us, the better its going to be. (2015:20)

If the Endtime is coming and its approaching, its a good time to get ready for, and prepared for it, and get used to whats
coming up ahead!
If the Endtime is coming on, youd better get ready and prepared for it, and dont be too shocked that the enemy is able
and allowed to do things you may not have expected or been ready for. Theyll be rough times, and youd better get or be
prepared for them.
In order for things to get a whole lot better, first theyve got to get a whole lot worse (2015:26)

Even though your previous times had been better than the current ones, its good for you to know that the world is
changing, and not for the better, but that the evil and bad times we were predicting are coming.
And if the conditions are taking away your faith in the current world, it means, its better to place it in whats to come, and
not in what there is.
Youll need some supernatural help to make it in the future of this world. (2015:28)

Its good for you to be prepared for even rougher times and learn how to make it through them with My help, and thus get
into that habit of depending on Me.
If you become weaker in your own strength, that should give you the opportunity to rely more on Mine. And trust Me: its
always greater than your own, and in the times to come youll have to rely on it more than ever before!
So, strengthen your trust and confidence in Me every morning and every day, because youll need it more than ever before
in times to come! Relying on yourself wont be nearly as helpful and effective anymore in times to come; and you can see
and recognize the darkening of times, and things becoming a lot harder in some aspects. Things just wont continue
forever as they are right now, and youll be best off by preparing for it.
Youll become more dependent on heavenly help as times on earth are getting rougher. So tune in to Us more, and stay
tuned in! Depending on Us is what will see you through!
Hanging on to Me and becoming more dependent on My and Heavens help should draw us closer, and get you more into
My gear and way of doing things something you might have to re-learn in large part, due to your former confidence in
yourself and your own abilities. Just get used to having to lean on and being more dependent on Mine. With the worldly
condition becoming rougher, theres really not much else of another option to make it through the way the world has
developed and will develop even more

253
While they are going to depend more on him whos our enemy, youve got to get more into depending on Me and confide in
the facts youve learned, that in the end, we will win, not he! So, keep on hanging on to the victory youve got by faith, and
let that faith in Me and My Realm become the strongest force in you! Keep trusting in Me, in spite of the enemys growing
powers around you and things hell try to cheat you out of it!
As you can tell, those good old days are getting over, and its important for you to get into that effort to stay tuned in to Me
all the time! Dont give him a chance to drag or knock you down.
Rely on Me and My protection, as its becoming more important for you now than ever before! Stay tuned in to Me and thus
resist his efforts to drag you down.
The more the world is being taken over by his input and wavelength, the tougher itll be to stay in My Holy Spirit, and the
more you need it. (2015:32)

Theres a time coming you wont be able to make it without preparation for it such as My Word has been predicting for
quite a while. So, get ready, and be prepared. If these times already make you seem weak, imagine how much more so
those coming might. So, just get prepared for the way to go by My strength and depending on the help from Above!
Youll make it if you hang on and hold on to Me and Heavens help, and thats what the current time and episode is all
about and meant to teach you.
Life could be easier, and has been, but the easy ways arent necessarily the ones teaching you to get ready for whats to
come! (2015:36)

Dont be too shocked or surprised that this earthly life is getting tougher. Its something you should have expected,
believing in the prophecies about a darker future coming and being on its way, and what the Word says about whos in
charge of it spiritually right now due to peoples choices for him. (2015:37)

You ought to remember the warnings of the times up ahead, during which youre going to need Me and your connection
with Me desperately!
Remember that those dark times are coming and are up ahead, so it would be better to get prepared for them, instead of
remembering and yearning for all the good, easy and rosy times you had before.
Its a rough life, but with the Endtime coming closer, it might and will easily get rougher, and its a good advice to get
prepared for it.
Keeping the faith may be getting rougher these days, but that doesnt mean it may not be getting more important with the
way the world is developing. The enemy may be taking over more and more power and influence in it, but does that mean
one should yield to it, or make a stronger effort to resist his influences? (2015:43)

Im definitely going to need some followers who manage to stay close to Me during those dark days of the Endtime, and
well, some of the folks who thought they were and made the statements accordingly, didnt turn out to be quite that ready
yet. How about you? Are you going to be ready for that Great Tribulation when it comes?
In order to get prepared for that stage means that one has to get away from foolishness, and you should be able to tell that
there were efforts made to get you away from that.
If youd manage to get altogether more closely into My Spirit, the Holy Spirit, instead of some of those vibes of worldliness,
youd definitely be making that effort to become more prepared for the Endtime. Of course, some are waiting to get more
serious about matters until the Endtime comes (2015:53)

Youre not enticed by the world around you, but wondering how youll make it through, and thats pretty much how you can
imagine the Endtime as well.
It would definitely be better to get more into a gear of trusting Me for your familys survival, and not too much in the
support of the world, which is doomed to be taken over entirely by the enemy as the AC, eventually. (2015:54)

You can pretty much tell, the overall condition of the world tends to get worse in a few aspects, and you can somewhat see
the Endtime approaching. Even if you wouldnt get around to experiencing it yourself, it should be good to get prepared for
it in such a way that you can help others to become prepared for it, and not expect too much of the world in the state that
its in and the worse one its heading for, according to My Word and the prophecies youve read and studied about the
Endtime. (2015:55)

Your toughest and hardest times youre going to have to make it through, in order to be strengthened for whats coming up
ahead, which wont be any easier to deal with.
In the older days of the followers, folks were expecting the Endtime earlier, and thats why they and their children were
much more on the ball in many ways than what youre having to deal with right now
These may be rough times, and for you, the roughest ever, but keep in mind that this is happening to prepare you to make
it through the roughest times ever in history, if you can make it through there. So, dont be too negatively minded toward
these times of preparation! Tough times will strengthen you to make it through even tougher ones that might and
eventually will be coming, so be thankful for this tactic of strengthening! (2015:56)

Times are getting hard, but thats why youve got to make a greater effort to rely fully on Me and your help from above, and
dont listen to the devils input trying to tell you Were not even there to help you! Hes the enemy, and trying to stop folks
like you, since hes seriously planning to take the world over eventually as its supreme ruler Now, thats bad news, but
youve been familiar with those for quite a few years. Just because they hadnt come or arrived yet, you didnt really get

254
more prepared for them. Well, the time to get prepared for those tough times up ahead is right now, because you see
whats happening, and that the world is getting darker.
Can you see that the end is coming nearer?
Even though that might be dreadfully bad news in parts, it would definitely be good to prepare for it as much as you can
Troubles up ahead, you can tell that from whats going on around you.
You can tell somehow by your perception of things that troubles up ahead.
Sorry that things are getting quite worse, that the final Endtime will make things quite a bit tougher!
So, can you believe Me and trust Me that troubles approaching you? Because theres greater trouble up ahead, and you
should do some things to prepare for it and be preparing to get out of the regions where that trouble will be worse and into
those where youll have better chances to make it through those dark and evil times coming up ahead!
Im not letting you enjoy your life the way you used to, because there are tough times coming up ahead which you ought to
prepare for, and stop suffering because things arent as rosy as they used to be. Who ever said that things were going to
stay rosy down there until the very end?
The world seems to be offering whatever folks want and physically need But the dude running it is a trouble maker, and
in order to get ultimate control, theres going to be a lot more trouble; and didnt I call you to follow Me to help folks exactly
through those times coming and leadem Up to Me?
Ive promised you Id help you to make it even during the Endtime and its Tribulation when therell be no more cash, but
only the mark of the Beast, which true believers wont accept and will have to make it through those 3 tough years only
through help from above.
There are some tough times coming to prepare for possibly the toughest ever. (2015:58)

Thats the groove in which youre more likely to make it through times to come: clinging to Me and all the heavenly help
you can get, through prayer, fueled with some of that desperation the pretty hellish state of the world ought to be getting
you into, if youre not one of the enemys, but My follower.
I know its tough for you in comparison to the fairly easy preceding times youve had, but unfortunately, the easy times
didnt really prepare you for, nor enabled you to cope and deal with the rough times up ahead, and even what youre
having to deal with now. And its another confirmation of what I told you, that the desperate times, as hard as they may be
or at least seem, are the best factor to prepare you for even rougher times ahead, prepare you for troublesome times, and
give you a better and stronger character qualities that will enable you better to make it through not as easy times ahead,
than those easier times you had before did, and you can probably see how those whove been spoiled by their past are
going to have the hardest times in the near future and rougher times up ahead, so just do all that you can in order to
prepare for those much rougher times bound to come toward you!
Depending on Me and asking for My supernatural help is the only way youll make it through whats coming up ahead, and
thats why Im trying to get you into learning all those things youll need to have in mind and do when the troublesome
times will have reached you to the full. (2015:60)

The best way to prepare for rough and dark times up ahead is not as much through material support and preparations, but
lifting up your faith in such a manner that youll be able to cling to and trust in Me to help and see you through even when
the times get the roughest ever!
Ill be around to help see you through, even when the roughest time of world history will finally arrive (2015:61)

By staying tuned in to Me instead of any negative train of thoughts the devil would like to get you into, you will! He may
look like a temporal winner in the worldly and even global situation to come, but only briefly so, since Were going to wind
up re-conquering Our territory, and you wont be sorry you stuck with Us, I promise and can guarantee!
So, as far as the choice is concerned to trust who will win the final match, even if the enemy seems like he may be running
the momentary scenery, youre wise to believe and trust that Were gonna win and conquer it all back in the end, since its
really only a procedure for Us to find out who are really the good ones who are going to join us to reign this world in the
end, and who are the ones on Our side who will deserve it. (2015:66)

You cant make it on your own through whats coming. Its really necessary for you to clearly depend and rely on Me in
order to make it through the times to come.
Once the AC is there with his abilities above the natural, youll recognize just how important it will be to rely on My
strength instead your own, former, physical ones.
You may be a bit disappointed that you cant make it anymore in your own strength, but trust Me that theres a divine
reason and purpose for it, so that you can fully rely on Mine and the Fathers instead, and thus will make it through the
times to come and the only way you will!
Rely on that from Above; and its the only one that will help you do some good in the times to come.
Youll be able to do more and greater things through My strength and power directly, and not relying on your own abilities
that I had blessed you with beforehand, but that you need to swap now, for another mode is necessary in these changing
times to come!
Times are changing, and for those coming ones you need to get used to your appliance of My strength and power. (2015:67)

Stay in touch with Me constantly, as the Bible says (without ceasing), and put your energy into applying for My help!
After all, this will be the only way youll make it through the hard times to come, and the sooner you start really getting into
the gear of depending on Me and all your help available to you from above, the better. (2015:68)

255
Having one of the roughest times currently? Whos the one in charge of that? You know its the enemy, and the fact that
hes giving you the hardest times shows who and what hes mostly against!
And if that drives you into My arms and makes you beg and ask for My help, well, thats not anything negative, considering
that thats the only way believers are going to make it through the Tribulation.
So, consider this time a necessary preparation for the time of tribulation ahead of you, without which you might not be
able to make it through it! Learning utter dependence on Me will be something necessary to make it through that time of
the end. (2015:69)

Even though you had some pretty good times down there, remember who it is that runs the place, and is preparing to get
his last big scene all set up and thats not really a time you could compare to a great holiday, or even anything near
paradise!
Remember that no matter how great your time on earth has partly been that time eventually is going to be over. Helping
others to prepare for the time to come would be a good choice of a task to get into. (2015:70)

A greater need for Me in your conscience is something quite necessary for you in your worlds future and upcoming fate.
What if theres a time coming when people will have to choose between My aid or their reliance on the enemys power and
temporary takeover of the globe?
Even if it wouldnt be coming all that soon, you can somehow sense that the pretty much worldwide dependence on the
enemys groove is there already. (2015:73)

I know, its a tough situation for you right now; but just let it serve as preparation for the toughest one to enter that worlds
history, and let your current experiences strengthen you to help you make it through whats to come!
Being prepared when that time arises will be what youll be most grateful for, instead of being spoiled by the easy tactics
of life you enjoyed before.
Dont be so spoiled from the easier times in your past!
Of course, anyone would prefer the easier and more fun times. But what do they teach you? - Especially concerning the
overcoming of the difficulties and hardships that will encounter you during the Endtime? (2015:79)

The Roman Empire was pretty much a solid example of what the ACs will be like in many aspects just that thats even
going to be worse, generally.
So, yes, its a tough and rough time ahead of you and not just you and its good to get prepared for it, and thats
something you ought to do, and not become so discouraged and weakened by the current circumstances, since theyll
become worse, which means, its something needed to get used to.
Get used to handling it, the trouble striking this world, since it definitely wont get less, at least not for right now, and not
before My return after the ACs rule of tribulation (2015:80)

Turn towards the Light and get filled with Our Spirit, in order to help you overcome all that negative input from the enemy
taking over the world.
Hes pretty much been ruling it since Adam and Eves fall, but even though it may not have seemed so, temporarily, its
getting worse, and that means youve got to grow stronger against his evil forces and resist them with Our help and force
at your aid!
Youve just got to learn to be ready to deal with it, whatever it is the world hands you to be ready for and resist learn to
overcome all that evil there put to force by the enemy! (2015:83)

Dont take the momentary crisis as a reason to complain. If you start complaining now how do you think youll be able to
manage the even larger crises ahead of time?
Try to take it as well as you can, what youre having to deal with right now, and let it teach you to avail yourself of My help
and strength! Thats the way youll learn to handle whats coming! (2015:84)

Even right now its comparatively easy compared to what might come
and will come in the end, as you know by faith.
Well, making you stronger in Me through the hard times youre having to deal with right now is the goal, and getting you to
cling more tightly to Me and the strength from above is the only way to make it through those dark times to come; so, just
take this time right now as preparation for greater challenges ahead. Depending on Me, and learning to do that, is what will
help you make it through whats up ahead, and one of the main reasons for what youre having to go through right now.
Take it by faith, that Im not letting you pass through anything thats too tough just tough enough to teach you to make it
through even harder times up ahead. The more you learn to lean on Me, instead of keeping trusting in your own abilities,
the more chances youll have to make it through whats up ahead!
To gain greater trust and confidence in Me instead of in yourself, is what its all about, and a lesson you wont regret
having learned once you get there, to the time and circumstances youre being prepared for.
I know, its a tough battle, and a hard one to get through, but the closer it draws you to Me, and the more it makes you
depend on Me and causes you to rely on Me instead of yourself and your own abilities, the more of an advantage of being
taught wisdom thatll help you through the times to come!
Another part of tough times up ahead, and preparation for tougher ones yet to come; and you need to be prepared for
whats coming, if you want to make it through that
Youve got My strength and power to help you, which should more than enable you to deal with them, the hard times up
ahead
256
And dealing with the ones youre experiencing right there and now should help to strengthen you toward whats coming up
ahead. (2015:86)

Its pretty important to keep your faith at the top of things and in a good condition, as much as you can tell that evils pretty
much ready to take over the world.
Sorry, if life is so rough for you right now, but youll also see that your faith grows stronger that way, which is something
youll need quite desperately in times to come. So, let all this youre going through right now dawn on you as valuable
preparation for some rough times ahead.
The more dependence on Me, the more chance of survival therell be the more overcoming, the greater victory.
If the times are rougher than what you can handle, see them as preparations for the even rougher times coming up ahead
with the Endtime! Life may be pretty rough for you right now; but see it mainly as a preparation for the even by far rougher
times up ahead that are coming! Life may have been fairly pleasant for you beforehand, and you wound up disappointed
by the recent times, but then: see how much extra time I gave you to prepare for what had been predicted as coming up
ahead
But did you?
It may look like a fairly rotten time to you right now, but its only to get you prepared for one a lot more rotten and
miserable to come; and making it through that is not going to be something for spoiled kids from a golden past! So, make
it through this here, and you might make it through that! (2015:87)

All in all, the world youre in is pretty much falling into the enemys grip completely, and theres just not much Heaven on
earth left to expect right now. Unfortunately, the current state of the earth drives more into the direction of hell, at least as
far as the spirit goes
So, if life is getting rougher than it has ever been to you before, dont be too shocked, but remember that you were told
quite some years ago about rough changes coming, and you might say youre just being prepared for the worst of it right
now. (2015:88)

With the biblical factor that the enemy will ultimately replace cash by his own mark on humans, you can somewhat see that
making folks dependent on money will leave them ultimately dependent on his mark of the Beast, which will show the
spiritual connection between the two, and how the overall plan was, in general, to make folks dependent on him, instead of
trusting in the Father and their Creator, faith in Whom theyre trying hard to extinguish by modern education, which
becomes providence for their systematic source of income
Its not like the enemy created what folks actually need to survive and live of. All he was mainly involved in was the
invention of the paper stuff that has become pretty much necessary to get ahold of food, and planning to change it
eventually to a replacement, first of credit cards, then obligatory reception of a mark of his on human skin
Knowing that thats where the world is heading should explain to you why youre having such a rough time there right
now, and why you put more emphasis on preparing for the Hereafter: a much differently run and established Kingdom than
what sort of governments the enemy has tricked folks into establishing!
So, the more you can do to resist him and withstand his attacks, the better, and the stronger youll be and wind up against
his full-fledged, world-wide attack when he takes over the AC.
So, just be prepared for that roughest part of world history, which might not be all too far away! (2015:89)

Sometimes I need to remind you to have desperate prayers, for the times up ahead are pretty ugly. So, its a reason to have
desperate prayer, and not just seek the usual happy and cheerful times all around.
I know, thats pretty sad, but hey, youve been warned of rough times coming up ahead decades ago. And unfortunately,
soon theyre coming. So, is that a reason to get desperate, or not? Its definitely a reason to stay in prayer.
Could it be that folks will need you once the times on earth are going to get worse?
Having lived in a world taken over by the enemy because of peoples bad choices, the lesson thats there is to make good
choices, instead. (2015:94)

Its a rough time, I know; but whats coming up ahead will even be significantly rougher. So, learning to make it through the
rough times is what its all about right now, so, just continue trying to make it!
Getting stronger is definitely what you need for whats up ahead!
Its important for you to learn that We are more important for you than that paper stuff soon to be replaced by marks of the
Beast, which will announce My Return.
Keep trusting in Me and looking forward to My Return!
Times will definitely get better once Im back. (2015:95)

How dependent you are on staying in contact with your heavenly helpers in order to make it through the dark times to
come!
While those times are coming soon for all believers, the sooner you get used to asking for help, the better! (2015:98)

Your times aren't rosy, but count them and appreciate them as preparatory times for the worst part of world history!
There's a time coming in that's evidently a bit harder.
You may think you're under tough circumstances right now, but believe Me when I say, they're gonna be tougher! And the
more you get used to having to handle tough circumstances, the better it'll be for you to handle the tougher ones.
So, learn how to deal with and handle these tough and rough times in order to be able to cope with the even rougher and
tougher ones coming up!
257
Don't be freaked out by what's coming at you, but develop the ability to deal with things coming at you, so that you'll be
able to handle the definitely worse state of the times to come!
It still may be a bit rough for you, temporarily, but the sooner and quicker you'll learn to deal with it and handle it, the
sooner you'll also be ready for the even tougher times to come! Learn how to handle and deal with the crisis of today so
you'll be ready and able to deal with what's going to come! (2015:99)

knowing that it'll require miracles in just about any case, to make it through the dark times ahead, should give you faith for
it, and get you into the custom of depending on miracles the force and power from above, instead of your own of the
flesh! See? Another factor why the subject of flesh vs. Spirit is so important, and one ought to learn it, in order to make it
through the Endtime (2015:101)

Theres the dark side of the spirit world taking over your entire planet soon, but you also know the end of that event, and
that Well take it over again, after a relatively short although awful time.
So, trust Us, that Were in control, and whatever trouble there may come, arise, or will be, Were above it, can handle it and
will get you out of it eventually. (2015:103)

Dont just assume that every day you wake up is a normal and peaceful day, while the enemy is at it with his host,
preparing for a total takeover of the world youre living in, preparing for getting down there and inhabiting and possessing
a large part of the entire population!
Sorry, that its so rough, but remember: its the result of mans choices! And its a lesson that will be there for quite some
time, on what the choices for either good or bad will do to people, and ultimately, the entire world. Compromises with, and
acceptance of the enemy will have their results, and thats a lesson for all to learn.
I know its a rough time for you, and harder, rougher and tougher than any of the previous ones right now; but the bad
news is, that its even going to get tougher, so you need to prepare for whats coming and learn how to deal with the
enemy, and resist all his attacks! One coming advantage being, that during the Tribulation it wont be spiritual anymore,
and thus, things should be a bit more under Our control than right now, when youre being attacked in the spirit, and often
only realize it a bit, afterwards.
Dont be so upset about times being so rough, unpleasant and tough for you right now, but remember that theyre
preparing you for the roughest time in all of history to make it through the darkest times ever.
It depends a lot on you right now, and how willingly youre being prepared for the roughest of all times by having to go
through some training! So, ready to be prepared for whats to come?
Honestly: if you cant make it through these days right now and go through them a bit more victoriously and positively,
trusting in Me and the strength from Above, its unlikely that youll make it through the darkest and roughest times to
come!
Learn to make it through the rough times now, or you might not make it through the even rougher ones up ahead! Trust in
Me and all help from Above to help you through what youve got to make it through! Otherwise, it would be unlikely that
youll make it through whats coming up ahead!
Having rough times now? Deal with them, and learn to cope with them, knowing therell be rougher ones up ahead!
Behave a bit more victoriously now, trusting in Me more, that Ill help you to make it, for its a necessary faith and positive
attitude youll need to help you overcome the evil that the even by far rougher times up ahead will have to offer! (2015:104)

Because the Endtime is getting nearer, you should be capable of understanding whats going on, and prepare for that last
stretch of world history before My return.
Deal with, and handle this tougher part of your life, being aware of the fact that theres an even much tougher one heading
your way, and the only way to make it through that is by learning how to make it through the rough times right now.
(2015:105)

The times awaiting this world are going to be the toughest ever, with the enemy winding up ruling the entire globe
thankfully, only for 3 years, but tough enough!
Its getting to be a rough world, and a tough world, and you dont have much of a clue if or how youre gonna make it
through there but well, eventually you will, since it will reach its end, and youll be in your true Home thats awaiting
you.
Life may be tough for you right now, but let it be a preparation for even tougher times approaching that youd better get
ready for And the way to get ready for whats up ahead is learning to depend on Me!
Its the only way youll make it through whats coming.
Surviving whats coming will depend on your connection to Me. Thats why Im pulling you so much closer these days and
am working on making you more aware of your dependence on Me.
Thereve been times you had bigger chances to make it without My aid, but whats coming up ahead is definitely different
and going to be tougher to make it through. Thats why youve got to learn more to lean and depend on Me. The good old
days are nearly over, and the times up ahead will require My help desperately. (2015:107)

A state in which you need and depend on My help more desperately than ever is a necessary preparation to help you make
it through the even rougher times up ahead you ought to know by faith are going to get there soon.
It has a positive purpose, namely to strengthen and prepare you for whats up ahead and about to come. You need to get
strengthened and prepared for it, and as Ive told you, you dont just get strengthened through having nothing but easy
and enjoyable times. You need some rougher times to strengthen you, especially to strengthen and enable you to make it
through the roughest times of all to come!
258
So, dont see it as something so negative youre having to go through! See it as necessary preparation for whats up
ahead, and that should enable you to take it all a bit better, and most of all: learn to seek My help on a regular basis to
make it through the tough times, since there are still tougher ones on their way to make it through and bear with
Learning to apply My help and make it, through My Power, well, that ought to do it for you, so, dont take it as something
too negative youre passing through right now, put see its positive side and point of preparation for the time ahead of you!
If its a rough time for you right now, just let it prepare you for the worlds roughest time up ahead! (2015:108)

Stay on guard against the devils attacks, and his hellish efforts to defeat you, causing you to be a lot more dependent on
Me than before but, hey thats what the term Endtime ought to have made dawn on you!
Youll know, that if you should ever make it through the times to come, it wont just have been you, your own power and
abilities, but Me doing it through you.
Having to cling to Me more is definitely something positive in the light of the fact that hardly anyone will make it through
whats to come without Me.
Dependent on Me every child of God will have to be during the times to come
Help from above in times to come will be greater than your own abilities.
Rougher times than before preparing you for whats to come, should make you stronger, so that youll have chances to
make it through at all.
Current times are difficult, and harder for you to go through than pretty much most of, if not all of what youve had to go
through before; but the reason and purpose for that is to prepare you for the roughest time ever, up ahead in history.
With the most evil time up ahead in the near future, youd better get prepared and learn how to deal with it and defend
yourself and your folks from it!
Get ready for the tough times to come, up ahead, and dont just keep expecting more easy times!
So, ready for some rough times, even though youd so much prefer to have some more easy and enjoyable ones?
I know its especially rough when you still see others going through good times. But then see it this way: They might get
shocked when the bad times roll in, and thats something I was planning to avoid in your case, even if that preparation for
times up ahead may still strike you as pretty rough. But pretty rough is pretty much something that will apply to whats
coming up ahead, and so, the earlier and the more you get prepared for that, the more chances for you to make it through
that, which isnt something to be taken for granted. Especially not for those wholl refuse to take on the mark of the Beast
and sink all the way deep into the devils final world system. Rough times to come, yeah, thats why we also need a bit of
rough times to prepare you for whats up ahead, or at least get you into a shape to prepare others to make it through it, in
case it wont come that soon. But who knows? Maybe others will make it thanks to your current preparation. (2015:109)

Its like every day being a fight, but thats just how its going to be with rough times approaching this world!
Therell be a time when money wont be around anymore, but will be replaced by the mark of the Beast which sort of
shows just where the whole spirit behind money comes from, in the first place.
The current system is on its way down, and to be replaced by Satans ultimate rule in the end, where you wont be able to
rely on the system anymore at all, but only your help and supply from Above! (2015:110)

Depend on Me and Our help, something necessary for the times coming and whats ahead of you to go through.
So, put up with the toughness of the time youre having to go through, and accept the fact that itll help you become
stronger for the even tougher times up ahead!
Try to bear with the roughness and toughness of the current stretch of your life, and let it serve to make you stronger, so
that youll also make it through whats up ahead! (2015:112)

The first apostles didnt make it without help from Above, and if they thought they would, something not so nice usually
happened to them. And times are going to become a lot like that, and even worse, with a worldwide government of the
enemys power!
Getting used to dependence on My Power and the protection from Above is something thats absolutely necessary for
those who will go through the Endtime, so Get ready!
You must become prepared for those days, so that youll make it through there!
The world is getting into a worse shape than before, and it may quite well be the worst shape ever something that has
been termed already 2000 years ago as the Great Tribulation. So, better to get prepared for it than surprised and shocked
by its coming!
The Father knew that it would be absolutely necessary someday for true believers to survive and make it through the
Endtime.
Without Our help and protection you wont make it through the days to come.
Thats what youll have to expect of the Endtime, when its there: every day will pretty much be tough, and there wont be
any days off or holidays
Just get prepared for some tough times the toughest in all of world history, and dont be too shocked by the toughness
of your present time thats supposed to prepare you for whats coming up ahead!
Dont keep expecting days of fun, relaxation and easy, good times when the toughest time of world history is approaching!
Just let these times help to prepare you for whats coming, and dont resent that preparation, but consider it a blessing!
I know its not easy for you, when the previous years had quite a bit more fun and easy, relaxing times for you, but you
desperately needed some time of preparation for whats up ahead, otherwise youd never make it through it.
So, even though right now its rough times, know that those up ahead will even be rougher, and the present ones are just
to help you to prepare for whats coming up ahead. (2015:113)

259
I expect those who know that the enemy rules the world, to play a role for Me and help Me to win others to My Kingdom,
which is going to take over the earth soon!
Sometimes youve just got to cope with whats going on and happening, and I told you why, many times: the worst times of
the world are coming toward you, and youve got to get prepared for them and get ready become stronger.
Cling to Me and My help your help from Above, the only way youll ever make it through those hard and dark days to
come!
You may strongly dislike your current state and situation, but see it as the best preparation you could ever get for the far
worse times to come!
Remember to rely on My strength, not your own capacities! Eventually youll never make it without that, anyway, since the
world is becoming too dark, and too much taken over by the forces of the enemy, for a good person to make it on their
own and in their own strength
The only way to make it through whats up ahead is through relying on My strength, the Power from Above!
Learn to depend on My strength instead your own, and on your help from Above the only way youll be able to manage
to make it through whats to come!
I dont want you to worry about it, but prepare for it, because thats quite necessary. (2015:117)

To become dependent on Me is basically what you need to learn to make it through the rough times ahead!
If you want to make it through the tough times up ahead, you need to get into the habit of clinging to Me not trying to
make it on your own, or assuming that you can.
You may need more help from Above to make it, but that will be the case all the more in times to come. So, lets get you
prepared for it! Trusting in Me and My help that youre going to make it thats the groove and gear into which youre
going to have to get! The times of relying completely on yourself, just feeding your spirit with a bit of daily input from Me
are over. You need to rely on Me in order to make it through the dark days to come, so get ready for it!
You need Me more than ever right now, and will need Me and My help and Spirit even more when times will get worse.
Just get used to the fact that you need Me more than ever, and with the dark times ahead, will need Me even more in the
near future!
everything will turn out alright, even if therell be times of trouble on earth so hard, that even in Heaven therell be
complete silence for some time, as youve read in the Book of Revelation. (2015:118)

You wont make it through the Endtime without Our help, and what youre going through right now is just some training
and preparation for that period, so youll get into the right groove and rhythm. Dont act like you can make it on your own!
Those days are over. And the miserable times youre going through right now are just there to prove it to you!
Drawing you closer to Me and making you more conscious of the degree to which you need Me, and will need Me and My
help in times to come, are definitely some positive things when you know what I know about the future ahead of you!
The times may have been relatively easy and pleasant for you in the past; but those easy days are just about over, and its
absolutely necessary for you to get into the gear of depending on your help from Above in order to make it through whats
coming at you!
Depending on strength from Above, not just your own abilities, is what will help you make it through times to come.
The enemy and his crowd will soon burst into the physical part for the time of the Great Tribulation leaving you and
others of Our folks to cope with evil from the physical realm.
So, even though thereve been attacks from the other side that made it quite tough for you to rely on Our help from this
side, therell be a time when youll be completely dependent on it, with the advantage that the enemy and his force wont
be hindering anymore from the spiritual side of things, while theyll be taking over the physical for the Tribulation.
Quite some changes to get ready for, and thats the main reason Were working on getting you in tune with and depending
on Us, so that youll definitely make it through those times to come.
Stay on guard and on the alert, so youll make it through whats coming up ahead!
The negative situations are there for you to learn to cope with them, since what expects you in the future will even be a lot
tougher than what youre having to face and deal with right now! (2015:121)

Let Me and the heavenly Kingdom play that part to help see you through, and get out of that gear of reliance on your own
strength and abilities of the flesh, which are going to serve anyone less in the times to come who wants to stay on My side
and not yield to the enemys reign! (2015:122)

Depend on your help from Above, not thinking you could make it on your own, because thats what the times coming
towards this world youre in are going to be like!
The more you get into the gear of relying and depending on Me to make it, the better prepared youll be for whats coming
up ahead.
Relying on own abilities, which basically means, on ones own flesh well, you ought to be learning by now from all Ive
given you on that topic, that its not really the blessed way to handle things and lead your life for Me, playing a part in that
world soon to be taken over completely by the enemy, as if you could handle it all in your own strength and deal with it in
your own wisdom.
Not being able to manage your present situation is a taste of what things are going to be like in a darker future with the
enemy gaining more power over the world! (2015:123)

The Tribulation is coming closer, and thus, youre having to get prepared for it by depending more on Me. Sorry you cant
feel anymore like you can make it by yourself, but its preparation for worse times up ahead, in fact, the worst.

260
Its better not to think youre going to make it through times coming. At least like this youre more desperate for My help,
and knowing you wont make it without My help makes it more likely that you are going to make it: dependence on Me and
help from above, instead of relying on your own abilities, which actually wont be enough to help anyone to make it
through whats coming.
So, dont be too downhearted over having gotten into this state in which youre much less able to do things by yourself
and have become much more dependent on Me and your help from Above, since thats the only thing thats going to help
you make it through whats coming.
Seeing and recognizing that you wont be able to manage it without the help from Above youll need to make it through
times to come, thus brings you into the gear of asking and applying for that help to be much more able to make it through
times to come.
If you think you cant make it, let it be the move of seeing and recognizing that you wont be able to manage it without the
help from Above youll need to make it through times to come, and thus bring you into the gear of asking and applying for
that help to be much more able to make it through times to come than what you could have popped up with by yourself!
(2015:126)

Learn to overcome those fears that life is handing you about things the world, run by the enemy, threatens you with! With
whats coming at the world, you ought to get prepared and learn to overcome it, get the victory over it through My aid, and
let that faith and trust in Me and all your help from Above grow stronger!
Consider this youre going through now preparation for whats to come, and believe Me that youll need it!
Youll definitely need My strength and help then, so its good that youre having some training of becoming dependent on it
now.
Theres a tougher time coming that you need preparation for, and training of depending on Me and help from Above in
order to make it.
Its a rough stage of your life, and pretty much the roughest, but trust Me that itll serve to pep you up for the even rougher
times to come!
I know youve never been through periods like this, but neither have you had to face times as such that are up ahead, so,
you just need to get prepared for those in order to make you stronger strong enough to face and handle them!
Its necessary for you to be prepared for the times up ahead where your faith and trust will be whatll have to pull you
through, and not your own abilities!
Let faith and trust grow so that itll help you overcome all your fears and worries that the times that will come might tempt
you with and throw at you!
Things get tougher, and youve just got to get ready and prepared for that!
I love you and want you to trust in Me to help you through whats to come! (2015:128)

Let there be a reminder to you of whos running the world, and how youve got to stay on defense against the evil that
rules it, especially since its getting worse!
I know its a hard time for you. But as I told you, its just a supposedly helpful preparation for the even harder times to
come.
Things could be better; but its good to get used to when it becomes obvious theyre not becoming better, but rather,
worse.
Putting up with that and getting used to and prepared for it is the momentary challenge, and the attitude everyone ought to
have: to get prepared for whats coming! It takes a bit to get used to the way things are running but let it prepare you all
for whats up!
Applying for help from Above is a wise movement and preparation for whats to come, which you might not appreciate so
much right now, but you will when those times arrive youre being prepared for!
Things could be better, true, but they could also be worse, and, unfortunately, they will be, and thats what Im trying to
help you get prepared for. Theres that human desire for constant improvement a way for things to get better but
sometimes folks ought to get prepared for things getting worse, especially when taking into consideration who was
granted to take charge of their world 6000 years ago, and, as predicted, that reign will have a limit in the days soon to
come, and ought to be gotten prepared and ready for, if the plan is to survive especially, in order to help others, who
wont quite know yet what will be going on, to realize whats happening, and tell them about the positive change coming up
ahead, through Me and My return! (2015:130)

Learn how to make it through rough times, because the roughest ones of all history are on their way, and you need to learn
how to bear with that kind.
The Power from Above will be quite necessary to help you make it through whats coming, and becoming of the world: the
enemys global empire, thankfully for a limited period!
Feeling like you cant make it is a good beginning, for on your own you wont, and its absolutely necessary to learn to
depend on Us, and all the help from Heaven you can get! So not feeling strong enough? Apply for the strength from
Above that will help you to make it, and dont assume youll be able to make it on your own. Thats the main reason and
purpose for weakening: to prepare you for the times to come, during which youll be absolutely dependent on Us, and all
the help from Heaven you can get! So, get into the gear of receiving the strength from above that will be the only one to
help you make it through the times to come! (2015:131)

In the Tribulation, every day youll be able to survive will be a miracle! (2015:133)

261
You cant take anything for granted in that world currently run by our enemy at large, and not too long from now pretty
much completely, except for the few chosen ones to make it through the Tribulation Plus that amount of people that will
fight against the AC is the end
So, get ready for the tough times, during which you wont be able to take planned incidents for the coming day, week or
month for granted, either.
With the world soon to be taken over by the enemy entirely, youve got to get used to things changing fast, and that things
are simply not bound to stay forever the way they are.
Remember the prophecies about the unpleasant, temporal changes in world history that will bring about Our takeover in
the end. So, even though temporarily worse, ultimately a lot better! (2015:134)

Youve had it a lot easier in the past, but with the Endtime visibly growing closer, wouldnt you agree that you would very
well need some necessary preparation, in order to help you make it through the coming rough times?
I understand you wouldnt really want to make it through them, but what if I want you to, and still have a plan for you?
Wouldnt it be better to yield to that and submit your fate to Our will? Even if it may not be that easy? Okay, so maybe it
has been a little too easy for you to prepare you for the rough times unless theres still enough time left to finish the
preparation task and what counts is whether you can put up with it and bear what it brings
It may not be easy what youre having to go through. But did anyone ever say that these times especially the ones still
coming would be easy? (2015:135)

Prepare you for the times to come when it wont just be difficult, but pretty much impossible to make it without the help
from Above you need to learn to apply for and lean on right now! (2015:136)

Its a very rough and drastic change from the way your life used to be, but the change into the Endtime will even be more
drastic; and what youre going through now is supposed to help prepare you for that.
Consider it preparations for the rough times to come, and trust Me that youll be thankful for that preparation once you get
there! (2015:137)

Youre getting some confirmation input on news about the Endtime, that its not all that far away.
if you feel weak in your own strength right now, let that process strengthen you in Mine, the only one that will help you
make it through the dark times coming! (2015:138)

After the AC takes over the world, you just ought to learn to get used to things not working by themselves, but through My
supernatural help, since the normal ways wont continue to keep working, but things will get rougher and tougher as
time goes on.
So, hang on to Me in order to ensure youre going to make it! Amen?
It may be a bit of a drastic change not to be making it without My supernatural help at all through the days, but well,
thats preparation for the Endtime, when youll definitely not make it without My help!
Having to depend on Me is the only way in which youll make it through the days to come with the enemy taking over that
world completely, and you need to get used to it!
Theyre going to be tough times, with the Enemy taking over the earth just about completely. (2015:140)

The world must get prepared for development and changes into more obscure scenery that folks like you will have to learn
how to face and deal with to be overcomers of the toughest times ever (2015:141)

See the advantage of putting your confidence more in Me, which will be a great advantage during the dark times to come
that will require a lot of miracles to see you though!
I know, its a normal state of nowadays males to be confident in their own capability, but with times turning into a
determinant choice between good and evil powers to serve, trust Me that youll be better off serving the good, even if We
may not be running all the visible action in the world during that time the greatest of all tests of mankind.
If youll choose Me instead of the great, visible ruler of the masses of that time, and might even get others into choosing
Me, trust Me that youll be better off in the long run than all the other ones that will follow the pressure into serving him,
who has been deceiving this world pretty much since the beginning.
Things youre learning and experiencing and going through right now are the best preparations for the tough times coming
ahead of you and the rest of the world.
Cling to Me! Depend on Me! Lean on Me! For those are the only conditions and ways youll make it through the times to
come! (2015:142)

Youve heard that not all electric functions will continue to work when the troubled times start! So, get used to trying to
hear from Me without a laptop or computer!
Its a tough time, but all the more tough the times ahead of you will be that Im helping you to prepare for. Trust Me that
even tougher times are coming, and the best that can happen is to get prepared for and learn how to handle them, letting
them cause you to lean closer to Me and My help, which is what youll surely need in the days to come. So, get ready by
learning to get ready, prepared, and deal with things you simply wont be able to handle by yourself anymore!
If you feel like you cant manage things by yourself anymore, dont see it as too negative, but remember the positive side,
that it will prepare you for times to come, when leaning on Me and your help from Above will turn out to be the best you
could have ever learned!
Youve been brought to the facts about the Endtime awaiting this world, so you shouldnt be too shocked!
262
Just let it all cause you to rely more on Me, not on what you had learned from the way things used to be! Sometimes things
change drastically, and believe Me that youll be grateful for having been prepared for whats to come when it happens!
(2015:143)

In order to get prepared to make it through the roughest time on earth ever, its better to learn how to make it through
rough times, than to continue to be spoiled.
How were you going to get prepared for the times of trouble just by being used to good times?
Life may be full of trials and tests for you right now, but like this youre going to learn how to handle the trials and tests
that the Endtime is going to bring along; and not having been prepared for it might make it even tougher. At least like this
youre beginning to learn how to take and handle tough times.
There are tougher times to prepare for, and if things just always flow smoothly, that might not happen so easily.
Therell be times coming when you wont make it without depending on My help to make it through each day of tribulation!
(2015:144)

The world is tending to become a lot worse through future changes it pays to be prepared for, and thats what Im causing
you to become! (2015:146)

Living in a world run by the enemy of God and those who try their best to follow His Son couldnt be easy. But its what
keeps you more aware of your dependence on Me and your help from Above, without which you wont be making it in the
long run, the darker the world situation gets.
Youll need to get into that groove for the sake of making it through times to come. Dependence on Me is what will help
you to make it through those times.
The times to come require more than what youve got to offer yourself in order to make it through there!
There are dark times heading toward the world, and its better to get prepared for them! Things just wont go and flow the
way they always have!
Theyre rough times heading towards you, and thats why Im letting you feel like theyre just about there, so that you can
learn how to get into the gear of making it through Me and any help from Above you can muster to get down there!
I wish I had some better news for you but then, these bad news had already been expected decades ago, and its time to
get ready and learn how to deal with them once theyre there. Itll take miracles to survive through the days to come, and
so, youve got to get used to the rhythm of asking and applying for miracles.
Sorry there arent any better and easier times for you to expect right now, but then, those bad times had been forecast long
ago.
Hard times unfortunately is what youre going to have to get used to!
Good news is, they wont last forever.
Dont be too shocked by the bad times coming toward you, but keep looking Up ahead, a bit further beyond them, and
know that itll be worth it all any hard times youll have had to go through! (2015:148)

Though the hard times upon Earth have lasted longer than many would have hoped or expected, dont worry: therell be an
end to it.
Stay on guard or on the attack, which is a mindset youll desperately need during the times to come the Endtime!
The End-time as in, end of the world as it currently has been, and the wicked forces pretty much run it.
To learn how to handle the tough attacks from the enemy is necessary for you to make it through the even darker times to
come.
Handle rough times, in order to make it through the dark future up ahead!
Learning that you cant make it on your own without My help through everything is a good, important thing to learn,
because thats exactly what its going to be like during the Endtime, which is not that far away anymore!
Maybe the Roman Empire was bad and rough, but next iIts going to be pretty much the whole world taken over by the
Enemy, with technologies that didnt exist back then!
So, get ready to deal with it the fact that the greatest miracles of all time will be needed to help folks survive the global
rule by the enemy! He wants to make it look like a curse to be a believer in Me, with the persecution hell give them hell on
earth with. But lets just see if My strength and the Fathers Power cant enable you and other believers and followers to
make it through that, anyway!
I know, its gonna be a tough test, and a rough time, but thats why Im teaching you right now to get into leaning and
depending on Me as much as you can already, so that it wont be too tough for you to make it through it all then! Right now
you may not feel capable of making it through anything like that worldwide persecution and tribulation but maybe or
lets say, hopefully once Im finished with preparing you, it wont all look that impossible anymore. Miraculous to survive
it, yes but thats why youve got to learn to depend on My miracle power to make it, instead of any of your own strengths
or even wits So, get ready, learning to use the right kind of supernatural aids and weapons Im working on preparing you
with!
Itll be fairly desperate times of becoming desperately dependent on Me, but thats the way the only way youll be able
to make it through them! (2015:149)

What do you expect from a world which the enemy pretty much rules, and gearing toward a time when he will pretty much
completely do so as the Antichrist?
Becoming more desperate, dependent on and clinging to Me and any help from Above, will be the only factor to help you
make it through the times to come!

263
Some folks or even most of them dont believe in anything else but the world around them, while other religious groups
are causing havoc that will give the AC a reason to abolish all other religion but faith in him. Yes, its a world getting worse,
but remember, therell be an important job for true believers to do for Me and the Father!
Get ready for whats to come! And be prepared for the enemys strikes, since the peace that seemed to be there for some
time was just to get you off guard!
Constant enjoyment of life may have been okay while it worked, but you can tell that times are getting tougher and worse,
and you need to get ready to deal with those changes up ahead!
Expect miracles and the ability to call on that power when you need some, which you will, as youll see, in the times to
come!
The enemys take-over of the world government will be the final stage in which youll be utterly dependent on miraculous
help from Above to make it through that time.
Making other things more important than material possessions will make more of a true follower of Mine out of you than
that whole bunch of materialistic Christians that are helping the enemy to turn the world against Me. (2015:150)

The enemy has gotten so many folks interested in raising their own material and physical gains, that it has become more
difficult to win others to Me, but with the way the times will be changing soon, thats quite likely to change again. (2015:151)

Its part of the necessary preparation for the Endtime to let the Spirit play a greater role in your mind and life in general
than the physical part, which isnt going to get any better, but more disastrous as time down there goes on towards its
end.
If the enemy and all his demons will come from the spirit world to take over the earthly rule and large part of the
population, its going to be all the more important to get your help from Our side!
Its good for you to find out and learn that life can have its tough and challenging sides, especially the closer it gets toward
the Endtime!
Be prepared for the fact that things wont continue to go on in the same old way, but it will get harder and tougher for the
majority of the masses to cope with the coming drastic changes. (2015:152)

Getting in tune with Me, learning to depend on Me, and all these things Im pointing out to you will be helpful and essential
keys for you to make it through whats coming! I know, theyre rough times for you already right now, but at least like this
you wont be too shocked when the global rough times will hit, and youll be a bit more prepared than if theyd strike you in
shock, unexpectedly and unprepared.
Learning to count on Me in a stronger way than ever before is what will get you through whats to come; so, keep trusting
Me that I know what Im doing in letting you go through a desperate time already, in preparation for whats to come!
Therell be many situations people havent learned how to cope with in this day and age; and since its going to be the
largest takeover of the enemys forces ever in history.
The ability to keep seeing the Light instead of the greatest darkness ever taking over requires the ability to tune in to the
Spirit from Above more than ever before.
As times get darker in the world, the physical standards will go drastically downhill, and the most important thing you can
do is to raise the standard of the spirit in your life high above the physical one!
Turning toward the importance of the Spirit above that of the flesh is one of the key points to make it through the times to
come. (2015:153)

While seeking pleasure was the number one goal in life so far, theres coming a time when itll be survival. Especially for
those who wont feel like they belong to the Beasts crowd, the AC wholl wind up ruling the world in times to come.
So, its necessary to get prepared to make it through tough times up ahead, and you dont have to feel weird about it.
Getting prepared for tough times to come youll appreciate as a gift then, when it happens, and you realize the value of
times of preparation for it.
With not so much pleasure around right now as you used to have, trust Me, that itll be better preparation for whats to
come up ahead! (2015:154)

Its definitely becoming more necessary to prepare for the rough times awaiting the planet!
Strength from Above will enable you to make it through times that not everybody or too many will manage on their own!
Itll be a part of world history during which the enemy will try to get everyone he can to make the decision to follow the one
hell possess and subsequently get rid of all who dont. (2015:155)

Dont let the financial income play the leading role in your life! Be content with less, because therell be a lot less available
in the future, and the sooner you get used to it and prepared for it, the better!
Itll be one of the toughest times for those whove been used to material surplus, to make it through times with a lot less
again, changed only in the end by the ACs demand to receive his mark, which will draw the difference between people
belonging to Me or Him
Learning to put your entire trust completely in Me and the help from Above and quit leaning on your own capacities to
make it in the system will play a major role of times of preparation for whats to come: the enemys ultimate and final ruler-
ship over the world.
The hardest times of history are still before you, so, instead of trying to escape and avoid them, seek to make it through
them with My help, and all help from Above you can get! It may be quite of a bit of a challenge, but then, itll also be a proof
for many others that theres a way to make it, and a better Source somewhere than what the enemy will put on display.
When he takes over the worlds rule, itll be the time of greatest trials on earth, but as you keep making it through it, you
264
will give hope to others who will somehow have been expecting and dreaming of it, since what the enemy offered didnt
ring their bell (2015:156)

Things could always be even worse. And you know from My Word, that the world will be, so, learn to cope with whatevers
out there to deal with!
If things get tough for you down there, remember, therell be tougher times coming, and all the times do youre having to
go through is prepare you and make you stronger to deal with it then!
The hard times you have to deal with are making you stronger to deal with the times to come!
The tougher the times to come, the stronger your faith better be! And you know from the Word, that the toughest are yet to
come. (2015:157)

Itll get so tough towards the end that itll be pretty much impossible to make it through that time without your aid from
Above!
It may seem like hard times for you when you cant make it without Our supernatural help, but thats the way things are
going to be in times to come, so, the sooner you get used to it, the better!
Being weak and going through low energy times during which you just need and are dependent on Our help from Above is
the perfect preparation for dark times to come!
Dont think youll have to make it through the rough future on your own! Thats why Im trying to teach you to depend on
Us: all your help available from Above! Without Us you might not make it, but with Us and Our help, you will!
The more you depend on your help from Above, the surer youll make it through the rough times to come!
Im letting you go through some rough times already, so that youll get into the right groove to make it through whats up
ahead.
You had been told, that that some hard and tough times were coming eventually and, well, that time is getting closer.
So, just trust and confide in Us and that Well help you to make it, and thatll give many others some faith to make it
through the difficult times coming, too.
Rely more on the strength from Above, the kind that youll need to make it through whats to come! The more youll depend
on Us, the more youll make it through times to come.
Learning to let Me help you to manage and make it somehow is the only way youre going to make it through whats to
come. (2015:158)

Most people dont believe in the existence of the enemy (nor Mine), nor his rulership of the world, but youve come to
experience it as a fact. So, consider that an important preparation for whats to come!
Of course, he keeps many people blinded against the existence of evil, mainly out of fear of it, one of his greatest
weapons. But being aware of the fact that Our Powers greater and his will come to an end, should deliver you from any
fear of him, even if hell rule the world for a time at the end of his earthly rulership.
Just keep your faith in Our Strength and Power superior to his!
Keep in mind that his is coming to an end!
Not too many folks consider themselves dependent on Our help, but once the Endtime will have arrived, youll be grateful
for having been prepared for it, and having learned to cling to Our help from Above!
Youre in desperate need of Me and My help, and some day youll recognize this as having been the perfect preparation for
what was to come! (2015:159)

The existence of paper money will soon reach its end to be replaced by the enemys ultimate system of control through his
mark of the beast.
Taking a distance from current materialism is a first step away from accepting the devils ultimate mark of the beast system
that will bring an end to his running of the world, and a start to its new beginning!
When the worldly systems on its way down, thats a good time to look Up to Me and all the help you can apply for from Up
Here, getting fully into the state of leaning on Me and your help from Above for your survival not knowing yet exactly
what will result from it on a globally political basis, but you know in theory that WWIII might result from a worldwide Crash,
and after that latest, the man wholl be the world ruler to be taken over by the enemy after basically having been killed.
Not very nice prospects for the coming world situation, but its better to be prepared for it than shocked when it appears
and happens. Definitely a reason why Were trying to get you out of the groove of seeking much fun and enjoyment, since
there are some pretty troublesome changes approaching world history, and its definitely not going to be permanent party-
time!
Keep it in your mind, that it doesnt look as if the ends too far away! (2015:160)

Tough times can test your faith in a God of Love But if its a tough test now, how much tougher do you think it will be
with the big troubles on Earth coming, with the final part of the devil himself ruling pretty much the whole world during the
last 3 years of world history known as the Great Tribulation? (2015:162)

Depend on Me and the Power from Above, so that youll make it through the times to come, where survival of a miraculous
kind will be necessary!
Your way down is quite likely due to the fact of the worlds general way down, and its a preparation for even harder times
to come, so that youll manage to make it through them.
Trust that I and the Father know what Were permitting, even if its becoming rougher as time goes on!
Part of the reason folks were told about the impending trouble long before: to get ready and prepared for it!
The time of its greatest darkness is approaching the Earth, and its better to get prepared for it!
265
You need Me and all help from Above you can get now, and even more so in times to come!
Its time you get used to the fact of darkness approaching and tougher times coming toward you and the world for which
youd better be prepared. If you think times are tough right now well, youll remember them as comparatively easy ones
during times to come! (2015:163)

Whats coming about, is some severely tough times And, well, youve just got to get ready to deal with that. And it
means, not to keep allowing yourself what you used to! It may have been acceptable and pardonable in times before, but
they are changing, and youve got to get ready to deal with, and handle rougher ones!
Some things just change in life, and with the world about to face its roughest changes in history, youd better get used to
that!
You were wondering, why is life such a misery on earth for you? But, well what do you expect from a world expecting to
be run by our enemy, the devil? While you had been enjoying a bit of nearly heavenly life down there, it was necessary to
remind you of whos ultimately in charge of most of whats going on down there, and soon will be governing just about
everything in the flesh, as the AC! (2015:165)

Try to make it through every day with a trusting heart- and mind-set, instead of worrying about that dark future you can see
appending!
Yes, times will get hard, but didnt I have to care for and take care of you all along? And even though it wasnt as hard yet
as you know itll be during the Endtime, having taken care of you previously, dont you think Ill still make it through the
rougher times to come?
To lean on help from Above is pretty much the only way to make it through the dark future up ahead!
The roughness of your situation is the only way to get you halfway prepared for the much rougher one on its way. It may
be way much harder what youre having to go through than what youve been used to, but not as hard as whats yet to
come So, getting prepared for tougher times than ever is whats on the schedule, and not much use complaining about
it! (2015:167)

What can you expect to look rosy in a world in which the enemy has brain-washed the large majority of the people into
believing his lies? And getting ready to rule and reign it all as a guy wholl seek to abolish faith world-wide
The ones believing in creation giving the coming world government a reason and excuse for abolishing religion. (2015:168)

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God (Mt.6:33) is another verse that still makes more sense than ever, especially with the
carnal distractions having grown into a bigger size and proportion than ever before, and getting close to the physical reign
of the tempter fortunately his last one for a while to be followed only once more, after the Millennium
Learn how to bear and put up with tougher strokes from life, to make you stronger for the toughest times to come
Theres the toughest time of world history coming toward you, which is definitely the price mankind will have to pay for the
choices it made, of pro-evil, instead of good, selfishness instead of love, etc.
The tough times upon the world are coming soon to let unbelievers reap what theyve sown. (2015:169)

If the AC-kingdom should be coming up after a worldwide financial crisis, pretty much resulting in the disappearance of
finances printed on paper, the Endtime will introduce itself to you requiring miracles to happen in order for you and your
family to make it through it.
A life clung to and upheld by the systems procedures seems like solid preparation for the predicted Endtime with the Mark
of the Beast as international cash replacement
If you think theyre hard and tough now, just bear with the fact that times are going to be even harder and tougher, so
definitely something to learn how to cope and deal with when they come
The toughest of all times on earth is pretty much right before you, and something for you to get ready to deal and cope
with so, let My help get you ready, okay? (2015:170)

Theres still stuff that Were doing in the world, even though its the case of the enemy soon going to take it over, this time
almost completely except for guys like you and the ones youll find out about. Were preparing some to help keep the
good part of mankind alive, even during the worst part of all of history! (2015:171)

What youll have to keep in mind to prepare for the Endtime: to constantly be on guard!
Its not going to be much fun, having the enemy running and ruling the globe.
Youre wondering, What on earth am I doing here?
Especially if what youre going through strikes you as the roughest, toughest time you ever had but then you know from
My Words, that its just preparing you and getting you halfway ready for the even tougher time, in fact, the toughest ever to
hit that globe!
And no wonder youre not quite sure whether youll manage it!
On the other hand, it also means, dont let the current negative incidents drag you down too much. Therell be worse stuff
coming, and especially to hit folks who only live for money thatll lose its value!
So, get ready for the times of trouble! (2015:173)

Once youll see the Endtime happening dont you think therell be something to tell people? (2015:175)

Theres not a lot of fun involved during a time in which our enemy is going to take over the rulership of this planet
officially (2015:178)
266
Get prepared and ready for the final days of the earth in Satans grip! (2015:179)

You will need Our help desperately during the times to come when the devil will reign down there in the flesh along with
all his fallen angels, the demons, taking over those wholl take his mark on their skin, like saying, Yes, we belong to him!
(2015:180)

In the end, itll turn out youre one of the ultimate winners on Our team, even if the enemy will make you feel like losers for
as long as youre down there while hes taking over the power, which you need to know and trust, hell definitely lose in the
end. (2015:183)

Having been told about the Endtime of this world so long ago, you should be prepared for and ready to deal with it in some
way, dont you think?
The enemys giving you hard times, but Well help and pull you through. Thats what youll have to get used to for the
Endtime.
Maybe time to learn how to deal with and handle the tough times is right now, and better now than never or too late since
you wouldnt just want to learn how to handle it when the worst trouble starts.
Get ready, get prepared for it, and dont let it all weaken you, but strengthen you to learn how to handle the times to come,
which are going to be a lot rougher yet than what you have to go through right now. (2015:186)

Learning to let Me and the forces of Heaven do things for and through you is the right way to go toward the end of that
world!
The enemy and his dark host ruling there quite vehemently know who theyd like to get rid of most and first of all
Its a glimpse of how tough its going to be once the enemy and all his hoards will have taken the world over completely
and will be ruling (and ruining) it during the thankfully, short time of the End. (2015:193)

Whats going to be necessary for you to make it through the dark days of the future up ahead: the miraculous Aid from Up,
not your own strength from down below! (2015:194)

The hard times are what will make you strong enough to deal with the even harder times to come: the hardest time on
earth, ever.
Trust and believe that the Father and I are capable of creating something better than that temporal world in its lousy state
around you, ready to be ultimately governed by Our enemy for thankfully only a relatively short time! (2015:201)

In order to make it through the rough times up ahead, you need to rely and lean on Me and the help from Above, instead of
your own abilities and strength.
So, dont feel too bad about needing Me and your help from Above so desperately and more than ever! Thats the way to
make it through those times to come! (2015:203)

You were able to rely on your own capacities. But trust Me that its becoming necessary to be able to rely on Mine for the
time up ahead, during which the enemy will pretty much take complete control over the planet, and you wont be able to
make it through that with your own.
There are tougher times up ahead, and you wont make it through them without having learned to totally rely and depend
on My supernatural help! (2015:229)

Life having become harder is part of the preparation for the Endtime thats heading towards your planet. (2015:232)

Its good preparation to be learning and adjusted to putting up with rough times when the roughest ever are just ahead of
you.
The values of money in different countries are going down, and it could very easily be taken as a symbol for the worldwide
Crash to come, which, as it happened with WWII, may bring about No.III, and the AC rising with his mark of the Beast, and
the Endtime, consequently the roughest time of history, with all other religions of worshipping anyone but him will be
erased, and believers persecuted and executed, the survival of which will require many miracles, and being used to
handling and dealing with tough times will be helpful.
If youre going through tough times right now, see them as necessary preparation for the toughest ever to come!
So, do your best to get used to those times of trouble!
Its necessary to get used to them, since the roughest ever are to come!
Getting used to availing yourself of the help from Above will also be useful and vital to others who wont be receiving the
Mark and will be dependent on supernatural help to make it through those times to come!
Not depending on ones own abilities, but relying on help from Above is what its all about, concerning the times to come.
The help from Above will be the only thing enabling you to make it through whats coming (2015:234)

The master of hell is soon going to take over the rulership of Earth.
The good part about the Tribulation will be that the enemy and his hosts influence from the spirit world will stop when
theyre all coming down to Earth, and you wont have to fight and resist their invisible influence anymore just having to
rassel quite hard against their physical persecution, for which youll be dependent on Our miraculous help from Above to
survive it. (2015:234)
267
You have to get used to the fact that its going to be rough times, and you know that the majority of My disciples died
through the hands of the Romans, and worse times than those are eventually coming up!
Make life dependent on the heavenly miracles it will need in the troublesome times to come!
Because the time of the End didnt arrive when some folks predicted it, many believers dont feel like having to get ready
or prepared for it, but rather spend their time on enjoying it as much as they can
Well, but when times get rough, you can tell that it pays to be prepared for some trouble. (2015:241)

You have your own talents and abilities, but you have to trust Me that its more important to rely on the strength and aid
from Above in the times coming, that are getting darker, and even the darkest of world history.
Get used to the fact that life isnt just vacation time, and especially not with the fierce changes coming towards the world.
Ones gotta get ready and prepared for the darkness taking over complete command.
With the hardest time of history approaching, theres no other way than preparing for it and learning how to make it
through, than availing oneself of the definitely available Help from Heaven, the Creators of all, and Their vast and helpful
heavenly Host.
See it as something positive to help you make it through the roughest time ever that has been inevitably announced since
thousands of years ago, mainly due to the majority of choices folks make in the enemys favor Its the only way to get it
all over with, and for Us to finally take over again the rule and control over Our creation, instead of letting him due to folks
negative choices
So, in the end, the future will be getting better, and theres just that relatively short period of Tribulation to make it through,
which you can, with Our help! (2015:244)

The difference between worldly folks and My sheep: what the devil has to offer doesnt satisfy them. Not in the long run.
Of course, once he notices that some folks wont fall for his materialistic temptations, hell put on some harder pressure as
the AC, when ultimately folks wont even be able to buy food anymore without the mark of the Beast.
His reaction to My sheep: Well, then starve! Or get slaughtered. As you can tell, sheep are being slaughtered for their
meat more so than goats, wolves or dogs (2015:247)

Preparation for the rough times coming will be the thing youll appreciate most when those times are there. (2016:15)

Just stick to and stay in tune with Me trying to make Me what you tune in to above everything else and try and see
whether that wont be the factor to help you make it even through the roughest time of world history! (2016:20)

Through spoiling mankind, the enemy will have a lot easier time taking over the world through the AC, having gotten just
about everyone so dependent on the material goods
Once that flow will stop, therell be the greatest crisis in history. So, good preparation for that would be to try to do with as
little as possible. Trust Me that its always going to be even less when the trouble starts! One of the goals of the enemys
folks is to strongly reduce the world population, and those who wont receive his mark will have to depend on Our
miracles! (2016:45)

One of the main purposes of allowing the Endtime to come about: To teach mankind just what the devils ways and
temptations will make of the world, making Our Kingdom a definitely better Option. (2016:47)

Sometimes theres no other way for folks to make it through the hard times to come than allowing some trouble to prepare
them for it, including in order to get them used to applying for Our help from Above , and not thinking or expecting to be
able to make it through coming circumstances in their own strength and capacities.
Remember that heavenly help is what youre going to need in order to make it through the dark times to come! (2016:50)

To depend on help and guidance from Above, youll see, thats the only way to make it through the darkest times on Earth
to come! (2016:52)

The warnings of what will happen were already given thousands of years ago.
But the enemy knew that the way to make them toughest to come and deal with were by spoiling mankind first, through the
easiest and most materially luxurious times of history.
Those having learned to deal with and make it through rough times are definitely better prepared for whats to come, even
though those times will be worse and harder than any previous. (2016:56)

One of the special conditions of the Endtime: having to utterly rely on the Strength and Help from Above. Not anymore
on your own capacities, except the one of applying that Help and Strength youll need to survive! (2016:60)

Through the times coming, no fleshly abilities will help or see you through!
The end of evil I predicted during My earthly lifetime, and others have and do. Unfortunately, its greatest power on Earth is
still ahead of you. So, learn to overcome and deal with it through the Strength and Help from Above, through your faith in
Me! Dont allow it to depress you, but look at what will come beyond that! I will! Along with My Kingdom. (2016:62)

Get used to the necessity of miracles in order to survive and make it through the darkest times to come!

268
Sharing Heaven should be your slogan for the days to come, when life on Earth will turn into the closest state of hell in
history!
Sorry, but Heaven on Earth wont be coming before hell on Earth! (2016:63)

To apply for the Help from Above to make it will be the only mode anyone will make it through the darkest days to come!
Its a time to prepare for the biggest trouble in history.
Its not an easy or popular job to be a true prophet, predicting times of trouble, when everyone around seeks good and
easy times but thats just the state the world is in: Its not a constantly blissful paradise, and youre one of the few who
know and accept the fact of who currently runs it and is preparing for a global rule in the flesh.
It hasnt happened when it was predicted to happen years ago, but that was one of his tricks to get folks off-guard. (2016:74)

Things are going to be much tougher yet! Not through what Im sending to the world, but due to the choices people make
for the enemys tempting, and ultimately destructive input and eventual physical appearance down there.
Therell come a time when faith will make all the difference for those not following the Beast, and the physically stronger
and fitter ones will appreciate then what you can offer to them. (2016:80)

Instead of worrying about the dark future times ahead, pray for My protection to help you make it through it!
Theres just no other way to make it through whats to come, but applying your prayer power for My Help, protection,
Strength and supply!
If you dont feel like youre going to be able to make it through whats to come, well good time to pray for all the Help and
Strength from Above you can get!
The New Testament already advises My disciples to pray without ceasing; in other words, pray non-stop! Pray
constantly! Thats just about what it took My early church to make it through the Roman Empire, and definitely what it will
take to make it through the darkest and most troublesome times of history. (2016:81)

Realizing the need for positive spiritual input above your longing for pleasant physical circumstances is something thats
becoming very important, considering what times are before you.
My believers and followers wont make it through whats to come without heavenly Help, which is why Im making you
more dependent on heavenly Power right now, seeking Me more, because youll be needing that heavenly Help more than
ever before.
You will see: it all wont end up dreadfully; even if there are the most dreadful times coming of all of history! Itll just be the
factor to reveal to the world whats better, after all.
Ill be coming to save you from it all when the time comes. One reason Im called the Savior: not just to save you from the
punishment for sins, but to save the world from the enemys reign and hell on Earth.
Im the coming Savior of the world from its coming state of hell on Earth. (2016:82)

Therell come a time when you simply wont make it anymore, except through the powerful Help from Above!
You need Our Strength, Help and encouragement as a preparation for the times not far away when no one will make it
without! (2016:84)

Not many people know about or believe whos in charge of this world right now, and so theyre all investing their times and
energies into the necessities to keep their physical lives going and make it as well and high as they can in that temporal
range. Even a lot of those who do believe that theres Something Better to come.
But the time is coming when that scheme wont work anymore, but folks who wont be part of the AC system will
absolutely and totally depend on the heavenly Help they can get through faith. (2016:86)

The ACs are planning a huge minimization of the population through WWIII and worldwide Crash, so physical surplus
might sound like an advantage; but as I keep telling you: youll only make it through the miraculous support of Power from
Above.
With the enemy taking over the rule of the world with the greatest powers available do you think own strength would
enhance the chance of survival significantly?
It will take miracles and Power from Above to make it through the darkest time of history, and no physical abilities that one
rejecting the Mark of the Beast will be able to rely on!
Getting rid of My folks down there has always been the enemys principal action through possessing a significant ruler,
and it will be his most powerful position and strike in history during the Great Tribulation. (2016:90)

Try to get the point why Im stressing the fact that its time to get stronger not really in the flesh, but especially in spirit in
order to help you deal with whats to come!
If you feel like you can barley deal with whats hitting you during present times, let it just be a taste of the sort of situation
coming up to handle and cope with! (2016:91)

Youve just got to make it through somehow through the tough times, because there are tougher ones to come!
Make the best of it, in order to offer some hope to those who wont fall for the AC!
The circumstances getting darker are a sign of the coming doom.
If the boss of hell is coming down there to rule the world well, hell on Earth will pretty much be the result of it; so let Me
help you make it through that hell on Earth!

269
So, keep the faith that that Powers still there for those who still want to follow Me through the Endtime the time of the
end of Satans reign over the Fathers creation which He allowed in order for us all to find out whod resist the evil, and
not follow the evil one, but choose the good instead all that comes from Him, including all the Help from Up Here theyll
need to make it through those final, and darkest times of the worlds history. (2016:97)

Keep clinging to My Help, blessings and protection! - Something youll depend on in the times to come! Getting used to
depending on My Help and protection is part of the necessary preparation for those even darker days to come. If you cant
fully rely on your own physical capacities anymore to see you through, see it as an important part of your preparation for
the days to come when no one will make it on their own!
If folks around you are making it harder on you, let it also be part of the preparation for things to come, when the world will
be in its toughest state of history.
Learning to put your trust and reliance on Me is one of the necessary progresses to make it through the coming times.
(2016:98)

No clue where or how youre going to make it? Well, thats just a sample of what Tribulation times will be like.
Let Me and My Presence be the Power to help you make it through the day, since thats the way it will have to be in the dark
days to come when the enemy will rule the world in the flesh of the man who through that possession of his body by the
enemy will become the AC! (2016:100)

Whats to come will be the opposite of perfect unfortunately the only sign that will gear some folks vision in a different
direction along with the test of wholl recognize the enemys carnal imitation of perfection. (2016:106)

The desperate need of Me will be something thatll apply to all sincere believers in Me wholl eventually refuse to take the
Mark of the Beast and will have to go through worldwide persecution accordingly.
Learning to make it through rough times will turn out a positive with the roughest times to come for everyone of My sheep
and believers.
Becoming a stranger to this world has never been a negative for Me, and it definitely wont be for true believers after
seeing what this world develops into the kingdom (or global empire) of our enemy, wholl do whats in his might to erase
My followership from the planet.
Get ready to make it through the roughest and toughest time for believers through world history! And I want them to make
it through that, in spite of the roughest and worldwide persecution in history. I want them to be there when Ill come to
pickem up!
Itll be the ultimate proof that Lucifer the lightbearer has fallen, when the time of his earthly reign will result in the
greatest darkness of history. (2016:107)

The worlds on its way to the roughest part of its history, when Satans folks want to get rid of the majority of its
population (2016:112)

The times of trouble will be the Times of Miracles to see you through! - Getting you ready for My miraculous and
supernatural Return and Remake of the worlds troublesome conditions! Get ready for Gods Power! Not only to help you
resist and overcome and survive the enemys when hell take over the ACs body to rule the world for its Great Tribulation,
but also to make a heavenly place out of that hell on Earth hell have left us to remake! (2016:117)

Once the enemy will have fully taken over the globe with his final the seventh world empire, and not leaving any
alternative options for folks to stay alive than to become one of his therell be no alternative survival possible except
through the supernatural Help from Above.
Once Satan will have established his final rule and world empire down there, his version of things might appeal to his own
followers and servants, but not to Mine. Thats why itll be the most significant part of history marking the difference
between the two his followers and Mine. His bride and Mine.
So, nasty and unpleasant events are unfortunately on the horizon, and whats awaiting world history theyre just coming
later than expected, and thus, more powerful, scary, and even more unpleasant than they would have been capable of
when expected decades ago One lesson on never underestimating ones enemy. (2016:119)

Remember My betrayal and crucifixion! Whats coming up in the worlds history will be for My believers what the
crucifixion and betrayals been for Me. - The darkest hour.
So, ready to make it through the darkest hour of history to come? (2016:126)

The folks the enemy hates the most and will persecute the most will be the ones who are able to hear from Me. In other
words: the bunch he cant kid with his lies, which are his ultimate weapon not useful against those whove got a link with
Me for the Truth instead.
With the world going down its steepest slope in history, dont be surprised that Were working on you becoming the most
dependent on Us and Our Help from Above without which folks just wont make it through whats coming: the enemys
global reign and the disastrous state his folks will use to turn folks into the desperate state of accepting him and his
ultimate reign
The way to get folks through the Endtime will be primarily based on their connection with Me.

270
Remember that the goal shouldnt be to make your times as good and easy as you can down there, but that youll make it
to the miracle of survival itll take through whats to come, and thus be able to offer hope to those who wont follow the AC
and take his mark!
It will take miracle-mode to make it through the last days of Satans rule on Earth!
John was feeling sick when I have him the food of Revelation to eat not very pleasant, and taking miracles to survive
whats coming but as My miracles were proof to My believers that indeed I was the Son of God, so they will be to you,
that Im still around, and youre the ones taking on a similar position as children of God in the last days to come of a
world run by our enemy. (2016:128)

See it as an advantage that youre not guided by the natural illusions most folks have about the world, becoming more
aware of whos currently in charge of and spiritually governing it, and will soon reach the point of his final and physical
takeover of world government, the incident that will reveal to all where his leadership will lead: not the Heaven on Earth
that I offer, but hell!
That the Endtime didnt come when expected weakened a lot of folks faith, but then what about Jonah, whose predicted
end of Nineveh never happened during his lifetime? (2016:133)

Folks will be the most desperate for Heaven once what surrounds them comes the closest to hell. Especially when its
master will reign down there for 3 years. (2016:134)

During the time of the End, miracles will be more necessary for My saints survival than during any other part of history.
Those who have a purpose for Me to fulfill during the Endtime, and/or are destined to be there at My Return will only make
it through the Miracle-Power Im starting to show you and make you familiar with the necessity of.
Worshipping the enemy in the flesh is what the final scope of the Endtime will amount to.
And by the global brainwash or rather brain-besmirching you can tell that its the large majority trapped in and confined
to the Big Lie and ultimate persecution of representatives of the truth will be the Endtimes result of it. (2016:149)

Hearing My Word and the faith growing thereby, in order not to be too affected and downcast by whats going on around
you will definitely be needed during the Endtime so, get used to it! Get used to depending on faith; because it will be
more necessary than ever in times to come! (2016:155)

Can you see the sense and purpose of the dark times coming? Theyll draw the line between those who accept the faith
and hope you have to offer, and the alternative of temporal, material wealth the devil in person will offer to those receiving
his mark! Separating the sheep from the goats and wolves. (2016:156)

Prayer without ceasing, without stopping, will be utterly necessary to make it through the days to come; latest the ones
of Satans personal rulership down there as the Antichrist. Nothing but permanent prayer will get you through that! Itll
ensure your survival more than food and will pretty much be required in order to get food without a mark of the Beast on
your hand or forehead. (2016:161)

The majority will accept the ACs solution: his mark. And thatll introduce the ultimate period of the grand lesson of
history, countable in days concerning its length. (2016:162)

My people, along with the angels and their heavenly Help, can turn that coming nightmare of an existence into a
miraculously positive event and, if nothing else, help to at least bring some positive fruit from the generally unpleasant
conditions.
The enemy, denying free choice to those who wont receive his mark of the Beast will show what he really believes in and
promotes. So, choosing Us instead of him is like choosing the right of choice. The right of liberty and freedom.
Leaving the right of free choice out there from the beginning shows Our liberal attitude, in comparison to the enemys, who
will seek to have each on executed who wont receive his mark
An incident and experience that ought to teach mankind which is the better force to rule over them his or Ours. (2016:163)

Troubles sometimes happen in order for you to become aware of them, their danger, and to remind you of whos in charge
of this world and getting ready to rule it in flesh and blood for the time of ultimate trouble and tribulation. (2016:164)

Its important to realize that the times of biggest trouble are up ahead, and prepare for them as much as you can. (2016:166)

Get used to the fact of the forces ruling the planet and having spoiled society with plenty in order to make them fall
spiritually asleep, are going to withdraw all that abundant supply soon, with the values of money crashing down and
preparing the globe for the mark of the Beast!
Get used to miracle-groove becoming a necessity without which survival for anyone who wont accept the mark will just
take miracles on a daily basis to make it through! (2016:167)

The kingdom of the usurper about to be established down there will be the ultimate proof of the fact that thats not where
you belong not in the enemys kingdom, or rather, dictatorship. (2016:171)

Not investing their physical efforts in earning money, but spreading My message and through it winning souls to My
Kingdom should be learned to do by those who want to follow Me with the final step of the enemy being that of converting
271
cash into his mark that those who will subject themselves to his leadership will have to receive when hell take over the
rulership of the entire world as the Antichrist, meaning that hell wipe out all those he can who wont receive his mark.
When cash becomes an integral part of you, it shows youre not too far from the reception of the Mark of the Beast.
(2016:172)

The toughness of the current times is nothing compared to the times coming, when the enemy will strike total chaos down
there, so that people will be ready to accept the one hell use as a vehicle to reign down there in the flesh!
Im describing weakness these days as an asset again just as Paul did when surrounded by the Romans, who gave only
a relatively mild taste and preview of whats coming.
The taste of world empires has dwindled since then, but theres a last one coming that everyone in the end will identify
doubtlessly as the worst. Because you know whos the force behind the world empires; and this will be his ultimate and
final gig. (2016:183)

Just as the Word that I became the flesh of originally created everything, so it will play an equally important role in the last years
of world history. The Word that gave life to everything will be the Source that will enable you to keep your life in spite of all the
opposing and threatening conditions placed upon this world by the devils ultimate rule over it; and as Ive told you: itll be the era
of necessary miracles. (2016:195)

Im allowing it to be fairly impossible to put your trust and confidence in your fellow humans, because the One Whose Help
and support will see you through whats comin is Me and Our heavenly host.
So, cant make it very far through the day without My leading, guidance and input? Let it be an example of what it will be
like in the darkest times to come! See it as preparation for the life-style of dependence on your Savior thats coming with
the enemy of God and His believers taking over the complete control over the globe temporarily! (2016:196)

A large part of existence is being geared and directed by that paper stuff in the process of transformation to electronic
numbers.
Once the enemy takes over the global rule, hed like to haveem all numbered. Thats about what humans mean to him: not
much more than numbers or numbered slaves. Get a glimpse of the difference between his ruling and government and
Ours? (17:10)

The Roman persecution of My early church was just an example of the ultimate persecution of My folks through the AC
when Satan will run and rule this world for its last and most troublesome 3 years, 42 months or 1260 days. (17:33)

The only thing you can really look forward to is My Return at the end of what the enemy is making out of creation pretty
much the biggest mess possible, which exposes him as the destroyer he really is. (17:38)

The Roman persecution was just an example of what it will be like during our enemys ultimate reign this time over the
entire globe. (17:40)

The thing the devil fights the most against and seeks to destroy the most fervently: your faith!
It's because it'll be the only thing that will see you through his greatest times to come down there, which for My believers
will be the roughest.
You've got to get back in tune of the groove of what I've taught you about spiritual warfare. - Even though it'll get to the
point where for him it won't just be spiritual anymore, but will do all he'll manage to eliminate My believers and followers
from the face of the Earth, which he'll occupy for that time of the end as a physical dictator, the Antichrist. (17:49)

A constant and just about permanent test of faith is what the Endtime will be. So, see the current ones as preparation to
get you ready for it! (17:73)

The rough years to come will bring the ultimate Promised Land closer to My true believers.
But youve got to get ready for those tough years, since theyll be the toughest to come and that have ever been in history.
(17:79)

Heavenly Strength is what youll absolutely need for each day of the Endtime coming. (17:84)

To rely on My Strength and Power, instead of your own abilities is the only way to make it through the dark days to come
with the enemy ultimately reigning in the flesh over the entire globe, with the highest rate of technology at his hand in
order to give him pretty much absolute control.
So, theyre going to be tough times. And the only way to make it through them is through utter dependence and reliance on
Me and all the heavenly Help and miraculous protection you can get from Satans pretty much absolute powerful reign in
technical and physical aspects over the globe. (17:102)

As tough as things and times are going to be, youve got to have that faith in Me that if its My will for you to make it
through the worlds time of utter toughness and darkness, if youve got a job and purpose for Me to fulfill down there,
nothing can stand against it, and according to My purpose, youre unstoppable! (17:103)

While youre still having to make it through the toughest part of world history with our enemy taking over his greatest term
of rulership in the flesh, the major requirement to make it through those darkest times for My believers will be faith. (17:109)
272
The darkest times of history will represent the greatest need of My Light.
So, to keep that heavenly Light-connection running is a necessity to make it through the darkest stretch of history coming.
(17:111)

Listening to Me: one of the most important tools and spiritual weapons to make it through the Endtime with. (17:112)

In the worst part of world history Our enemy will appear in the flesh as its savior, but if hes been a terrible fake of a god,
hell definitely be the worst possible fake of a savior. Even if the person hell take over, originally might appear as quite
close to that. (17:114)

Loving your enemies and those that will persecute you will become one of the major challenges of the Endtime. Just
remember Me praying for the ones who were crucifying Me while I was on the cross!
If they know not what they do, its because they think theyre having to follow the commands and instructions of their
superiors and you know who the ultimate superior is going to be during the time of the End. (17:119)

Choosing good over evil will be an even tougher option with the lord of evil having taken over the planet completely.
To resist evil has always been a bit of a tough task but its becoming an even tougher one, with the antichrist forcing
survival to be a factor of receiving his mark Well, just to show what a cruel ruler the incarnation of Lucifer will make.
So tough times of evil coming in order to both, test folks whether theyll prefer the good - even though still invisible - as
well as reveal where the rule of the lord of evil will lead. (17:124)

I need folks to help Me show the world that theres still Someone more powerful behind the scenes than the one wholl take
over as the ruler of the world for One time, two times, and a half. 42 months or 1260 days. (17:128)

Even though the AC will also perform some supposed miracles of a different style, take My Miracle-Way as the one
from Above quite different from the one coming from below!
And especially when it comes to surviving the worldwide persecution of My followers the enemy will set in gear after his
physical takeover of what will then be the obvious antichrist, it will be the greatest era of necessities for miracles of
history. (17:130)

When the enemy will take over temporal global reign, at least it will serve for people to find out what result it will have to let
him rule the globe whose temptations theyve been accepting as something that may have looked good, interesting, or at
least definitely tempting, but choosing to walk that path did turn out to be in the wrong direction. (17:133)

The battles going to get tougher, especially in the light of the fact that its not just spiritual forces anymore youre up
against, but ultimately, the evil spiritual forces will take over the receptive bodies down there, just as Satan will take over
that of the AC - which is what he himself will make out of that fellow
Youve got to get ready for the global takeover of evil, and most of that largely done through the host of evil possessing
and taking over countless recipients in current preparation through the process of the evil brainwash going on down there
of the masses via the media.
While youve met demon-possessed people before, the amount of those will just shockingly rise to unprecedented levels.
Can you see now why preparation is such an important topic, in order to grasp the seriousness of the necessity to get
ready for the most evil times of history? (17:139)

Life is going to be yet much tougher than it is right now to get you and other folks ready for the end of the world as you
know it.
The good part about it will be My takeover, and a bunch of positive changes coming, but in order to get there, first therell
have to be some tough conditions to be dealt with perhaps the only way to get people to appreciate that coming
change
Without the devils complete takeover en persona, not too many folks would appreciate My return to save the world from
the mess hell leave it in.
So, getting ready for Satans reign down there is a big task, especially as one of the many hell try to eradicate completely
from the face of the Earth with the greatest persecution ever. (17:141)

Just like some of the early missionaries around Paraguay were struck like martyrs history is going to reach its ultimate
part and level of that, once the enemys in power down there in the flesh of the AC. (17:143)

273
 What Jesus Had 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
It all remains a matter of faith and what you or they are willing to put faith in: whether it be Me, My Word and the
supernatural, or the finite reasoning of man and science falsely so-called. (I:2)

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. (I:8)

My new and 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 and everlasting.
It requires faith to set your affections on things above. Faith which is acquired by faithful intake of My Word. (I:16)

If you dont expect miracles, how do you think theyre ever going to happen?
Its your expectancy, your faith, your counting on Me doing it, that makes it happen. Just like youre pulling down this
prophecy right now, just like you know I will talk to you if you expect Me to, likewise Im ready and 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 and ember of faith, insignificant in its appearance, hardly there, hardly noticeable, is the one big difference
between you and 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! (I:17)

As your faith and your ability to rise above grows, you will learn to smile and be joyful in spite of all the oppression around
you, for you will carry My victory in your heart. (I:23)

Rational thinking wont help you survive in the days to come, only crazy faith in Me and 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! Dont 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 wouldnt
have to test your faith anymore. (I:55)

Put your hand in Mine and trust Me blindly for whatever I may bring along... (I:58)

Trust in Me, the Leader and Captain of your team, and youll play safe. (I:61)

You 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 and 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 whos getting ready to rule and run the joint for good, and youre in touch with
the Boss, the Man on the top! (I:65)

Worry not about your situation. It couldnt 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; dont worry, were also going to take care of you.
The strongest arms in the universe have promised you their care! (I:76)

Let Me carry you above all the waves the storms are whipping up. The sea beneath you is seething and 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. Youll
experience first hand My peace in the center and the eye of the storm.
As those on your left and on your right are falling prey to confusion, you, unafraid, as one who has got nothing to lose, can
rest tranquilly and peacefully in My palm. (I:94)

Its expedient for you to operate fully by faith. Its the only way youre going to survive.
Let faith in Me and My Words be your currency. And prove Me now herewith if I will not open unto you the windows of
heaven and 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 and breaking His
274
promise to Me, I will still trust Him! (I:96)

Now is the time of faith, to take things by faith, even though you dont 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 dont see it or feel it, just take My Word for it! (I:109)

Dont 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. Thats when believing becomes seeing and faith becomes
knowing. (I:117)

Im 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, and the things at hand will take on a whole new meaning
and they will come and go with such greater ease.
I want you to know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Im always right here with you!
Theres always more of Me and what I give is only limited by what you can handle. (I:119)

My followers should always know that in spite of their own limited experience and all theyve learned to be possible or
not, all things are possible to him that believeth, for with Me, nothing shall be impossible. (I:120)

Thats the difference between true faith and all false religions: True faith is the opposite of all that is your own, for it
comes not from your own world, nor your own mind, nor from any place or realm that is your own. For the Kingdom of
God does not belong to any man, but any man can choose to belong to the Kingdom of God. (I:124)

Trust in Me, that everything I allow to happen in your life someday soon will all make perfect sense! (I:125)

Trust Me that you are just what and who and 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 wont burn or hurt you. (I:137)

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! Ill be better to you than a known path or anything else youve
ever known before! Just trust Me, inhabit Me and let Me inhabit you! I long to be and live and dwell and move in you, and I
long for you to dwell in Me!
Look and see with the eyes of My Spirit! Look not at the waves and the wind! Look at Me! Ill be your ship, your vessel, and
Ill carry you safely Home! (I:141)

Look not at the waves and the wind and the gray abyss beneath your feet, but look up to Me! My hand is always right there.
I have never and will never let you fall!
Dont live by fear, doubt, worry and anxiety, but by faith, hope and love!
Toss all your worries and excess weight over board! (I:144)

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 and 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 doesnt see whats going to happen tomorrow, he just keeps singing anyway, trusting that Ive got it all under
control, that everythings in My hands.
My kindness toward you shall not depart from you even when the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed. (I:145)

Faith acts content in the face of adversity because it knows it already has and owns the fulfillment of the promise right
now. You hold the title deed in your hands. You may still look like a pauper, but youre on your way to the bank with the title
deed, and when you get there, youll be a rich man.
Trust Me, that Ive blessed you with riches, even when you cant see them. Take My Word for it. Trust in My Words even
when you dont feel like it. Aah, thats when I like those tests the best, during those times when you dont feel like it,
because it shows Me youre willing to defy natural circumstances; to be cheerful in spite of the way you feel. (I:152)

Act by faith, knowing that I can and will do it! Act as if its gonna happen and its gonna happen! Dont forget your umbrella
when you ask Me for rain! (I:163)

Im tossing you into the water and youll only be able to breathe by My miracle-working power.
Throw yourself completely on Me! I will carry you! (I:164)

Ive been around all those years, you just havent been able to see Me this clearly, but the more you open your eyes, look
to Me and spend time with Me - the more youll seek Me, the more youll find and see!
Soon, youre going to see Me everywhere and in everything, for thats where I am, literally! Sometimes youve just been
seeing the Devil too much in everything and you figured, No, the Lord couldnt possibly be in that place, its already
275
occupied by the Devil... Well, look beyond, and youll see that whatever place the Devil may temporarily be usurping, hes
only waiting to get his butt kicked out of there.
Im putting on My boots, and youll 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 and hide
with his fake false front and illusion!
Many people believe in it, but you just poke your finger in it and show its just a fake a slimy film and layer thats been
placed over the real truth, and you can just rip it off and wipe it away with one wave of your hand and the magic wand Ive
given you the Word and the power of the keys!
Let them see what you see. Pray, like Elisha prayed for Me to open his servants eyes, so pray for them, that they may also
see. But in order to make others see, youve got to also make sure you stay permanently focused on Me and dont let
anything divert or distract you! Keep your eyes on Me, the author and finisher of your faith, and keep tuned right in on Me!
(I:168)

It simply takes time for faith to grow. (I:172)

The desired results of all Im 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 wont be shaken because you stand on Me, the firm
foundation, clings to Me, the Author and 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 and around which everything revolves. (I:177)

Youre standing right in front of this mountain wondering how youre going to make it. Well, youll 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 and heeding My voice
and obeying My instructions.
If there was no hope for you to ever make it, I wouldnt present you with this challenge! (I:189)

Ask of Me and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance! You can already assume that authority in the spirit.
You definitely dont have to be afraid of them. Remember that I am much greater than he that runs the world. And youre
more than conquerors by being willing to appear like the losers. (I:211)

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 whats happening. (I:230)

Learn to apply your faith as a drawing power, like electricity, to work in your lives. Put it to use and make it work! Plug it in
and let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify Me! Thats the purpose of faith. (I:258)

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 youve gotta have some guts to grab the spoils of Egypt. If youre too scared about whether
its 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 and thank Me for it, no matter where it came from. Its only
pride that makes things complicated. (I:263)

Do you trust Me? I know you still have some doubts and fears and worries. Im not expecting perfect trust for starters, but
we need to get there and make progress in eliminating your doubts and fears and replace them with more and more faith
and trust. (I:269)

Do you trust Me fully, that Ive got your life in My hands?

I want you to become a sample of utter trust first of all, before you go out and preach something you cant even really
practice yourself yet. Im establishing a trusting in the Lord completely mode in you. Youve just got to learn to trust Me!
Youve got to trust Me blindly, even if it looks like its a dead end street Im leading you into. Trust that I will make a way
where there is no way! (I:272)

If youre going to trust Me for the situation I put you in, then trust Me fully and in every aspect, that I know what Im doing.
Trust Me, the great Head Doctor, that My diagnose is correct and My prescription to attack the problem is the right one.
Things might get worse temporarily, but trust Me; thats the only way theyre ever going to get better. (I:273)

Im teaching you to trust Me more and less in the arm of the flesh, and the Devil is going to test you along those lines: Are
you sure youre still going to trust Him? Looks like Hes leaving you hanging in the air...
Im not incapable of caring for you, just because the Devil is tempting you a little and the System is turning the heat on.
Just remember Whos in charge and relax. (I:289)

What you will need most of all is faith to protect you from fear and despair! Faith for miracles to help you rise above the
most atrocious and 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. (I:297)

Faith is a drawing power, a vacuum, and when that vacuum has been replaced by a fullness of other things than My Word,
276
My Spirit and My input, then the Word and My Spirit and 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. (I:312)

A new page; a new leaf turned over... blank... for Me to fill in and for you to sign. That's the way I like it. That's the kind of
business transaction of faith and trust and submission that I like. You show Me your trust, and I reward you for it!
Just like faith without works is dead, so works without faith, love and spirit are dead, also. (I:314)

Without faith it is impossible to please Me... Youre either the servant of faith or the servant of fear. (I:323)

Life can be so beautiful if you see with the eyes of faith. (I:324)

Nervousness comes from relying on the flesh... Trust and confidence come from relying on Me. (I:343)

You dont have to do it, all you have to do is trust Me. You dont have to worry, or bear the burden... just trust Me! Commit it
into My care! Command ye Me! (Is.45:11)
Im 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 youre 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, dont, 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 and absorb every worry. (I:350)

Be thankful for your individual situation, trusting Me that I knew best what kind of a situation to give you.
Likewise youre going to have to trust Me that I will give you the most perfect, personally designed situation and role to
fulfill in the future. (I:360)

It all amounts to the old issue whom youre going to believe, in whom youre going to put your faith, trust and confidence:
in yourself and your really limited amount of knowledge of yourself and all things, or in Me... (I:371)

As soon as you cast the burden on Me, it will leave your tiny shoulders and it will be on Mine, which are quite a lot more
capable, and the matter is resolved; I dont want you to worry about it anymore. I want you to instantly convert every worry
into a prayer. (I:375)

Your initial ideal reaction to every problem you encounter in life should be to give it to Me and trust! (I:398)

Everything in your life comes from My hand, and is just another opportunity for you to show and prove trust in Me! (I:403)

I'm trying to get you to have positive faith in people, or at least in My Power to change people, and not give up on them
prematurely. Have faith in the people I've put by your side, faith that sees what no one else can see, "the good and
possibilities that others cannot see." You see here the connection between faith and love? Without love, your faith is
nothing. Love is the lifeblood of your faith. (I:414)

Strive with all your might to believe in My Love, that it's always there for you, that I mean only the best for you, that I would
never allow anything to hurt you without a divine purpose that is higher than what you know or can see right now! Believe
in My Love!
Unshaken faith in My love, that's what really brings results, the kind of fruit I desire, fruits of love. (I:416)

During times of battle there's not much positive to look at, except with the eyes of faith. Claim the keys of faith! - Faith to
see what no one else can see; to see the victory in the midst of battle, to see the light in the midst of darkness, to see the
joy, the reward and the glory of triumph in the midst of gross pain and suffering and fighting all around you!
There's nothing that pleases Me more than a positive declaration of your faith that you are determined to fight this war and
not only are you going to fight it, but you're also going to win it. (I:428)

Sometimes I can only send you My help or do the miracle after you have already taken the first step of faith, which is
usually the switch that does the miracle of turning on the light. All you have to do is reach out the hand of faith and flip the
switch. (I:432)

It's not how much you do or you try to do, it's how much you believe. It's not how much you accomplish or you think you
must, it's in how much you will trust! (I:434)

I want you to learn to have Me dictate your circumstances by your trust and by your prayers.
Be bulwarks of hope for those around you. Even those who may not believe right now, in time of need will remember that
you had faith that exceeded the range of their hopelessness, the range of the physical circumstances, faith that believes
that all things will be well because I'm in control. (I:436)

It's time to seek first My Kingdom and righteousness and to truly trust that in so doing you'll find that I will fulfill My
promises to you and supply all your needs. It's time to truly start trusting Me and to start having the kind of faith without
which it is going to be impossible to please Me, and not only that, but it's even going to be impossible to survive without it,
277
because faith, not money, is the currency of the future!
In a way, faith is all that determines the value of anything, anyway, including money, so, it's all a matter of what you put
your faith in: Me, the Creator and Giver and Provider of all things, or paper. (I:437)

At times I may ask you to do things that don't make sense to you, or I may even ask you to start going a certain direction
and then ask you to turn around again, but if you just trust Me more than your carnal reasoning, you will always pass the
test and see that it will all wind up making perfect sense in the end. (I:439)

Sometimes you've got to let go of something wonderful in order to find something even more wonderful, and even though
that requires faith to believe in things you cannot see, that's exactly the kind of faith I require of you and all My children
and brides who want to serve Me well. (I:443)

Faith is a force that brings success, and a lack of it brings failure. (I:447)

Happiness and joy comes in the yieldedness of truly trusting Me that I know better than you, that your life is in the best
hands of the universe, and there's nothing to complain about. That the rough times you're going through are exactly what
you need in order to make you what you're supposed to become. It's in trusting that you're getting just what you need and
deserve, and realizing that if you want something better, murmuring and complaining won't help at all to get it. (I:449)

You're going to believe, because you're going to see. You're going to see because you believed, and then you're going to
believe even greater things, and have faith for even greater things because of what you saw. That's how My magic works:
you pull down a little bit of miracle power by the faith that I give you, and you're going to see things that are going to
strengthen your faith to call down even greater miracles, and on and on and on it grows!
My disciples believed in My Words and thus created the miracle power necessary for Me to do My first miracle. And from
then on, their faith grew and grew, and the miracles became bigger and bigger until I raised Lazarus from the dead, the
general rehearsal for My own resurrection.
I rewarded each little stretching of their faith with a new miracle. This also gave them the faith to do miracles themselves:
everything I told them actually did happen, and it also had to be true that "greater works than these" they would do.
The more you believe My Words and call on the keys of miracles and draw down that miracle power from Me, the more you
strengthen your faith to believe all I'm telling you. This next explosion of faith is going to result in My Endtime Revolution
and ultimately in My Kingdom established on Earth, because the time is drawing near. (I:451)

I may choose to test your patience and faith, and a lot does depend on your faith. If you let the devil destroy your faith in
My love for you, then it is you who allows and causes you to miss out on some of My blessings, not I. I am bound by your
faith in many ways.
Faith in My love for you is a driving force that will get you further than any self-esteem or self-confidence in the flesh.
Because self-confidence will get you places without Me, and faith in My love for you, which will boost you with heavenly
self-esteem, will get you places where I take you, and you'll always get further with Me than without Me in the long run. The
way of the flesh always ends somewhere. But with Me, there is no end! We'll always get further, much further, than the
flesh could ever take you. So, have patience and faith in My Love! (I:455)

I want you to trust Me completely for all your needs, to depend on Me and thank Me and glorify Me, accordingly. (I:467)

Faith, and seeing with the eyes of faith means, seeing Me in everything, in other words, seeing the good in everything.
Miraculous and supernatural ways require faith on your part. Faith is the prerequisite, and what is the voice of faith?
Praise! So, let Me hear your faith in your praises and gratefulness to Me, and you will see that this attitude is also going to
spur you on to greater action, which is going to make your faith more visible in your works! (I:474)

Keep putting your doubts on the back burner, and keep trusting that My ways are higher than yours, and that as hard to
believe as it may seem right now, every little detail will fall into place and wind up making perfect sense in its contribution
to the Big Picture. (I:478)

Faith just laughs in the face of all the circumstances and says, "So, what?! My God is greater than all that, and He can
cause me to rise above all this in the blink of an eye, if He chooses to. But if not, I will still not surrender to the voices of
negativity, but I will still know that He knows best and only allows what is best for me, and I will keep praising Him for
that!" (I:481)

Put your hand in Mine and trust that I will lead you to the very best place possible for you! You say, "Yes, Lord, I do trust
You, and I want to trust You, but I'm a little bit scared that You might lead me down a path I do not want to go."
I'm just asking you to trust Me to walk that road toward new horizons, open doors of change, toward surrender of your own
ways, your independence and your individual freedom and preferences, in order for Me to give you greater, inward
freedom and fulfillment.
If that road would look like a pleasure trip, it wouldn't be a test of faith.
Even though I'm leading you down the road of faith, trust and commitment gently and slowly, nevertheless I do expect you
to take steps forward and make some progress and forward movement, otherwise you'll stagnate or wind up going round
in circles, and you'll always wind up at the same stage of spiritual growth, over and over again, having to repeat the same
old lessons.
278
I'm calling you to take a step forward in faith, not in fear. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin (Rom.14:23), so don't do it if you
don't have the faith for it. Pretending to have faith when you don't can also be a sin. (I:486)

Be more enjoyable by being more trusting! As you trust more, you will also be more trusted!
Keep trusting Me that I won't give you more than you can handle. (I:492)

This is a time for blind trust and obedience and just following Me, even though you can't see where I'm leading.
I need disciples who can blindly trust Me and will just follow wherever I go. So, shake off the fears and worries and replace
them with faith and trust! (I:507)

Your faith will make you whole!

Put your full trust in Me, blindly, that I am leading you in a good path, and I will give you the strength you will need at the
time you'll need it! (I:508)

I crave for intimate contact with My believers in the physical realm, those who can only perceive Me by faith.
Just like without faith it is impossible to please Me, there is no greater way to please Me than by this expression of faith, of
pulling down My seeds from Me by faith. (I:509)

I know, for you it's all by faith, and the things around you, the tangible world and all that you can hold in your bare hands
is so distracting and telling you you'd be foolish to let it go for some God you cannot even see. But that's faith, without
which it is impossible to please Me. And again, how much do you really want to acquire it? How much time do you invest
in acquiring that good gold from Me by spending time in My Word, strengthening your spirit for the battle? (I:514)

It's all just limited by your own faith.

Some of you lack the faith to overcome their weaknesses or their laziness or they lack faith for simply more energy. Some
of you lack the faith to be able to really trust Me and thus overcome and eliminate their fears. Some of you lack the faith
that there's ever going to be enough love for you... Some lack faith in My power to supply or the faith for protection or faith
in My love. That's all you really need in order to get all you ever needed and wanted. Drawing faith, to draw the power, the
love, the strength you need from Me. So, exercise, gain and cultivate your faith. Buy that good gold from Me which is going
to get you through the hardest times of history, when paper money won't have stood the fiery test: get faith! And you know
where to get it! Just listen to Me, feed on and apply My Words! (I:515)

Patience takes faith, so it all contributes to your acquiring the true riches and values of the spirit, the everlasting riches
and values, God's true gold and currency: the currency of faith. (I:519)

This is My training and teaching you My modus operandi of walking by faith, not by sight; trusting in Me, and My hand to
guide you, and not following the course of the "obvious" step to take next. (I:527)

I want you to stretch and exercise your muscles of faith, just like you need to exercise in the physical. (I:538)

Appropriating faith is the weapon that'll propel you to the place in time in the spirit where you'll be able to laugh about it,
and just by believing My Words to you, you consider it already "done." (I:543)

Keep trusting in Me, no matter what, knowing that whatever happens is good for you, and the closer you stay to Me and
the more you love Me, the better it will be for you - whatever happens.
My Words, but that laughter turned into flesh and blood!
Have faith that I can fulfill My promises to you even when it looks humanly impossible because of circumstances, or the
state the World is in. (I:559)

You miss out on some of the joys of life if you focus too much on the negative qualities of people, their imperfections, the
far distance they are from the way they're ideally supposed to be.
See them with the eyes of faith, as that which by My grace one day they're going to be... as tomorrow's victors,
understanders and seers; for truly, I will make them see and understand all that they can't see and grasp right now.
Have faith in them. Have faith in My power to change them and make them what they're meant to be! Sin not by disbelief
and lack of trust in Me knowing what I'm doing. If you keep doubting, it will be like saying you would have known better
than Me. (I:568)

Those who have decided not to trust Me for their lives, but make others responsible for them, are not walking in the path of
faith, they don't have the same standard, and the rules by which they judge are man-made, not Mine. They are not the
standards of faith, but the standard of doubt, of man caring for himself, of the arm of the flesh saving itself.
But without faith it is impossible to please Me. (I:581)

Accept the way I've made you, or ask Me to change you. It all boils down to faith, and according to your faith be it unto
you. You can shape your environment and change your world according to your faith.
You've got to cultivate your faith, and keep it growing! (I:604)

My currency of faith will withstand the tests when all the other currencies of this world will have been consumed by the fire of
judgment. (I:608)
279
Unbelievers don't have the same peace and rest that remains for My believers, because it requires faith to be able to rest in
Me. (I:609)

If you want your faith to grow and become a force that's real in your life, just use the Word! (II:8)

Focus on the mission of giving what is pure to those who need it, even if they may not even be aware that they need it. The
heavenly vision comes through faith, believing that I know better what's not only good and best for you, but also for them.
You've got to convey the faith, that I know best what's really good for them, and even though that which you present to
them as My medicine may not appeal to them at first, if they only try it, it's going to help them. (II:19)

Faith is a gift of My grace, and nothing you can work up in the flesh, nor give yourself the credit for. Nor can you blame
others or criticize them or look down on them for having "less" faith, because faith is a tricky thing that only shows its true
value in the thick of the testing.
I'll be there to give you faith when you've got no faith! I'll be there to give you love, when you've got no love - strength,
when you've got none of your own... I don't want you to boast in your faith. I only want you to boast in Me.
Ask Me to strengthen your faith, to give you more faith, and I will. (II:26)

It's a time to get ready for changes ahead, for strengthening the things that remain, your faith and trust in Me and the
things which are not of the Earth, not seen, not temporal... (II:39)

Stretch your faith and reach out for the goal of greater miracles! (II:41)

I'm asking you to have faith for the "impossible."

Don't keep your eyes on the "impossibilities" of your circumstances, but on Me and the fact that they each come from My
hand, only to draw you closer to Me and as a test to see whether you're going to fall for the lie that indeed there is such a
thing as "impossible" or whether you're going to accept My challenge and turn the "impossible" situation over to Me to
deal with and prove to you again that there is no such thing. (II:54)

Strengthen the things that remain, and that is faith, trust and reliance on the Eternal, not on man, or anything else that is
temporal. (II:60)

How much you get from Me is only limited by your own faith. (II:61)

Living by faith has its advantages. I can provide much better for My followers than you can for yourselves in your own
efforts.
The life of faith is the better option. All the working hard in the flesh for material gain is in vain, and I can supply and
provide for you much more abundantly and in greater ease than you can by means of the flesh. (II:62)

You must have more crazy faith and not let the circumstances and "voices of reason" intimidate you. Crazy faith is what's
going to be needed in the future, and the sooner you exercise yourself in it, the better off you're going to be. (II:63)

I can and will supply, according to your faith. I want you to have expecting faith. Expect Me to do it for you, and I will,
because I want to. I want to teach you to live and survive by faith. Make faith your currency! (II:70)

Faith is not built on feelings, but by the fact that My Word says so. (II:76)

Anything can happen - there are no limits to what I can do. (II:77)

The connection between you and My Spirit World can only be established by faith. When you break through by faith, and
you touch Me, you'll also be rewarded with that comfort of knowing you're not alone. But first you have to make the effort
of faith.
If I would not require of you to have the faith first, I would make it too easy.
Take the step of faith which shows Me that you believe that souls are a greater and more valuable treasure to "hunt" and
look for than money, and if you would only go and look for them, I would reward you, as I have promised in My Word! (II:80)

Do you have the faith and the kind of long-term vision it takes to win souls? (II:82)

Giving, sharing, pouring out and scattering what you've got, in My book spells faith, because it shows that You're
expecting Me to return in the same abundance to you with which you give. Withholding spells lack of faith. (II:89)

Becoming steady in your faith and firm in what you believe should be one of your main objectives to strive and work for.
(II:91)

The art is to ignore your feelings and do it anyway. That's faith. - Faith to act contrary to your feelings. The only way you
get that kind of faith is by receiving My instructions and confirmations that this is what I want you to do, in spite of what
your mind or your feelings tell you. (II:98)

280
Faith does not stand on feelings, emotions or "chemistry," but on the fact of My Word. (II:107)

Sometimes I want you to put forth some faith for a situation or people less than perfect, trusting Me that I will improve
things as you go and step out by faith. (II:113)

Sometimes I want you to put forth some faith for a situation or people less than perfect, trusting Me that I will improve
things as you go and step out by faith. (II:113)

If you continue to build on faith, you will reap many benefits, experience many mighty miracles, and you will see the glory
of God! (II:114)

You've got to act according to your own faith, your own channel, your own link with Me. (II:120)

I want you to look at that which is not shiny on the surface, that which requires faith to believe in and to invest in, even that
which others might not have faith for in the natural.
Whatever you do, you've got to have the faith to go all the way through with it, and not leave the job half-done or leave
your sheep half unattended when you begin to lose faith in them, or because they're not living up to your expectations.
(II:129)

It requires faith to go out there and die daily for Me! (II:136)

"Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him."

This is the faith that overcomes the world. This is the faith that overcomes even the final enemy and laughs in his faith and
says, "Death, where is your sting, grave, where is your victory? Even though He slay me, I know whom I have believed, and
whosoever liveth and believeth in Him shall never die, for he that believeth in Him, though he were dead, yet shall he live."
(II:138)

It takes time to build faith by faithful study of My Word.

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. (II:144)

Not forgetting but remembering My relevant counsel during moments when you're being attacked and your faith is being
tested is pretty much what it's all about. (II:147)

Keep receiving and drinking in My Words, and that faith will grow! (II:151)

Your faith should not be based on feelings, but on the fact that you are not alone! You're never alone! (II:155)

Give out the things you receive from Me by faith! (II:159)

The Real Thing is Here, where I am and rule and reign, in the invisible, eternal realm. But "invisible" often isn't good
enough for those of little faith.
It's all by faith, and without it, it's pretty hard to find My favor, because faith is the basis of it all, the primary condition.
(II:173)

Faith is a drawing power. It keeps drawing and drawing, and as you draw, I will draw you closer to Me.
As long as you keep believing and receiving, I will keep you moving forward, toward Me. (II:196)

Things can be a test of faith sometimes. When it seems like God failed, only those who loyally believe in their hearts that
He really is infallible can keep believing. (II:199)

I like that kind of faith, that kind of proclamation that you still think I'm tops even if it may look as though I'm allowing
things to happen to you that make it tougher on you instead of easier. (II:205)

The answer to your lack lies in greater faith, trust and reliance on Me. (II:206)

Be one of those who build their faith solely on Me, the knowledge of Me, My Word and My personal communications with
you. Abraham or Moses were such pioneers of faith, who've had to find Me basically on their own.
The outcome is My responsibility. It's something you do by faith, and it's My responsibility to reward that faith! (II:207)

The freedom you find in just putting it onto My shoulders and letting Me do it through you requires faith that will invest time in
prayer in order to make sure you're operating in My Spirit. (II:209)

I love it when you trust Me for things you don't understand! That's what I call faith! When you just follow Me along blindly,
not seeing or knowing where I lead you, but you just trust Me, that I'll lead you aright!
Don't seek to understand! Seek to trust Me! And if you do, prove it, by praising Me in spite of the fact that you don't
understand!
Do you trust Me, that I love you so much that everything that happens to you is the best possible option? (II:213)
281
Trust in Me for your providence, not in your own arm of the flesh! (II:244)

Listen to the child in you! It says, "Papa's in control!" It doesn't doubt and criticize Papa the way children do when they get
older and become adolescents. It's that childlike loyalty to "Papa" that makes children so precious in My sight. (II:245)

Be ready for anything at any time to take it with a grin! When nothing can shake you, it only fazes you as "So what, another
vain and empty attempt of the punk to blow my hat off," and you shrug your shoulder and keep on trusting Me, that's what
I call faith! Be hot in your trust and love and passion for Me, and cool when it comes to the devil's attempts to rattle your
wagon!
If anything comes your way, hand it to Me! You don't have to worry about anything. Whatever it is, just hand it to Me! All
those things are to teach you to hand it to Me, to involve Me, to "pray without ceasing."
Hand it to Me and trust! (II:265)

Your day, if you call it beautiful by faith, it'll be beautiful! Praise Me for making all things new, the way they're supposed to
be, by faith! You can't see it with your physical eyes, but you can see it by faith! (II:267)

It takes strong faith to go My humbling, unorthodox way. (II:268)

The victory is by faith. It is by faith that you know you have eternal life and that you'll be with Me after you die. It is by faith
that you know that I can heal you from the sicknesses that befall you. And by faith you know that I can help you find a
solution for this problem and get it fixed.
Countless people deal with these problems without My help, without faith. For them its all a matter of natural, mechanical,
carnal things, regardless of whether there is a God Who made and designed them, or not. The difference between you and
them is by faith.
There are two paths, two ways for man to choose through life: the carnal way and the path of faith.
Those who walk the faith route will have to humbly ask others to share of their abundance with them. They definitely look
more like the "losers." But that's where My surprise ending comes in. People of faith believe in a surprise ending. Not so
much in order to tease the others at the end of the road and be able to say, "See, I told you so," but even to let them also
be blessed. For they will be blessed for every helpful deed and thing they shared with you, My people of faith. It takes faith
for them, too, to be sharing with you of their abundance. And I will bless that faith.
You're all in the same game, except that you have a special role to play in it, that of the "spirit guides," those who may be
poor in the flesh, but can lead others in the ways of the spirit, the true and lasting riches, recognized only by faith. (II:289)

Which other way do you acquire wisdom but by going through fiery trials and tests of faith?
I'm teaching you to trust in Me! There's no way around it. You're going to have to learn to trust in Me. You'll have to trust
Me for the pain, trust Me for your support, you'll have to trust Me for everything. When someone has truly learned to trust
in Me, you could call that wisdom.
You want quick relief; I want you to trust Me. We're going to have to meet in the middle of what we both want.
According to your faith be it unto you! Sometimes it takes a while until you find out where your faith lies, what you have
the faith for, and how far your faith goes. And that's what tests are all about. (II:290)

Put your faith and trust in Me, not in the green paper pig god of the System! (II:291)

Let go of any false, temporal or carnal securities, in exchange for the invisible, thin rope of faith you're going to be walking
on instead... (II:303)

Have a little faith in Me! Have a little trust! Don't be so anxious! (II:307)

I promise to reward your trust in Me. (II:317)

Keep on believing in the sense of its original meaning, "pistevo" - keep drinking in!
And you must also keep believing in the sense that when you go through a trial, a hard time or a test, that it will serve to
bring you closer to Me.
"Keep on believing" is the slogan to success: keep drinking in My living Word, stay connected with Me, keep on using
heavenly thought power! Keep on believing when things are not looking so bright, when your thoughts don't feel so
heavenly, when you can't see any trace of the fulfillment of the promise, except by blind, naked faith in My Word, simply
because I have promised it, regardless of the fact whether it seems so, according to the circumstances, or not. (II:321)

Stretch your vision, your faith, your level of tolerance a little more in your relations with others by making more room for
your fellowman to fall, to sin and fail, just as you have, with the same right to grace and mercy that you have enjoyed,
without judging them or losing faith in them. Keep the faith in people!
I've been trying to get you not to only look at people. But that didn't mean that I never wanted you to have faith in people! It
just meant that primarily, I want you to put your faith in Me, regardless of circumstances and whatever anyone does. But
now that your faith in Me is strengthened, I want you to look around and expand your faith in others as well.
If nothing else, expand your faith in Me, that I knew what I was doing when I created them, just as I knew what I did when I
created you. (II:329)
282
I'm concerned primarily for your faith, not necessarily for your income to increase!
Living by faith, and really putting faith in the first place is, in this day and age, something quite new and radical, and the
more emphasis you put on that, the more you're willing to let faith be the answer to the problem, the more proud I'm going
to be of you for being so different!
When you don't really have the faith for something, but you trust the one you love and say, "I believe because you believe
it!" that's saying, "I believe in you! I personally wouldn't have the faith for it, but your faith for it gives me faith for it, too!
Your faith is strengthening my faith!" That's love and showing faith in one another! (II:331)

One of the most important "tricks" of faith is to see the good in the bad, not vice versa. (II:333)

Unbelieving scientists or intellectuals think it's "primitive" to believe in Me, primitive to pray, a primitive reaction of a
primitive mind's incapability to cope with the problems it encounters.
The question is, if faith in Me is so primitive and they're so smart, then why is the world constantly becoming a worse
mess, instead of getting better? (II:336)

If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. If you praise Me, then you can draw them to Me by your faith. You can not only
pray for them, but even praise Me for them, that I died for them and have saved them. Your faith for them can save them.
(II:337)

If even I couldn't do much in places where people's unbelief hindered Me, and if what saved the blind man was actually his
faith in Me (Lk.18:42), his need for Me, his desire for Me; if even I needed to be believed in, to be needed and wanted in order
to fully perform My best, then how much more do you all need that?
Things that are impossible with men are possible with God, so, don't limit Me and My actions to your mind gear of
impossibilities, but make it happen by having the faith for it to happen!
What do you want to be written about you: that I wasn't able to do many miracles for you because of your unbelief, or that
your faith has saved you? Your faith can do anything for you, so, have faith! (II:339)

You must learn to trust Me, to hold out.

What you desperately need is more faith, and through this experience I'm causing your faith to grow.
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 and
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. (II:340)

The greater the problem, the greater the victory, and the more it's going to strengthen your faith in the end. You need those
greater problems, in order to give you greater faith, in order to tackle even greater problems, greater obstacles and
seeming impossibilities in the future. (II:341)

Only faith inherits the Kingdom. There are those who despise it for lack of faith. So, always cling to your faith! (II:344)

My Word is the solid rock on which your faith can stand firmly, even when your feelings seem to sway.
Only the fact of My Word is strong enough to build and pull up your faith to the extent that it will be able to pull up your
feelings to a steady and stable level, where you won't easily be swayed by moods anymore, feeling distant from Me, or
easily irritated or aggravated or whatever.
Make greater efforts to really absorb My Word and actively strengthen your faith through it, by memorizing or reviewing
faith-building passages, verses or promises!
What you need more of is trust, and trust comes through faith, which again comes only through My Word. Make greater
efforts to really absorb My Word and actively strengthen your faith through it! (II:348)

You decided to put your money in the bank of Heaven and that you're a faith-investor. Everyone is; they all invest in their faith; it
just depends on what they put their faith in. Most of them put their faith in things that can be seen. To put faith in invisible things,
that's the difference.
Your faith can do so much more for you by applying it and making it do things for others, too; simply by sharing it. Sharing
the faith is the name of the game. Share some of that wealth you've got stored up, because it won't do you any good just
keeping it to yourself. The only way it'll really grow is by giving it out, passing it on and giving it away, by sharing it! (II:361)

Rising above - or riding the waves of life's circumstances - means treating success and failure both the same, as success,
that is; there is no such thing as failure to the man of faith. (II:366)

Thats the excellency of the faith that overcomes the world: a faith driven by a love for Me that is even willing to be hated
by all others for My sake. (II:367)

Stretch out your hand and receive, grab what's there by faith, and as you reach out and receive, you get more.... That's
how faith works. It's how everything else regarding the faith-life works, also in the area of supply. You're making the effort
and finding out that I'm blessing it, and the more you get, the more you have the faith to receive, and so you increase your
efforts of faith. (II:370)
283
Childlike faith is more efficient than any skills or strength of the flesh. Trust Me more and rely more on Me. (II:372)

If you cannot trust Me absolutely for everything, it won't work. Without trust, things won't work. (II:377)

You will see in the end, there was really nothing to worry about at all. I'm in full control, although I may temporarily not let it
appear that way, to test you, whether you're still going to trust and believe. (II:383)

Faith is Power that you either have or you don't, and if you don't, following Me, then you're in trouble! (II:385)

Youve got to have faith and trust, that I can deliver. (II:386)

Those with great faith can walk cheerfully through their sufferings; they know it will be worth it all, and that the things they
suffer in this temporal world are not worthy to be compared with the glories which shall be revealed in them. (II:393)

You've got to trust Me and let Me have My way with things! Don't get impatient! Trust Me that all good things will take time!
You need to trust that everything will come in its good time!
Trust is one of the basic foundation stones of working together. You can only work successfully with someone if you
completely trust. We are not of this world, and in our world, one of the basic principles is trust. (II:395)

I have given you the faith not to rely on System help.

It's really the faith of total disregard for the status quo and physical circumstances. Continue on this path of totally living
by faith! (II:401)

What counts most of all is your attitude of trust!

Come to Me in faith, knowing that everything's under My perfect control! (II:435)

There will remain mysteries, riddles and questions in life, things that you must take by faith, sometimes because they're
part of your tests. (II:441)

How can you dishonor My faith in you by having so little faith in yourself? If you cannot have faith for yourself, then at
least have the faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. (II:444)

One of the first steps to become a true believer is to find the real meaning of the word "to believe," which comes from the
Greek word "pistevo," which means to "drink in." It's the act of receiving and drinking in that makes a true believer out of
you. (II:448)

Faith: the extent of your capacity to receive.

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
just give you the kind of inspiration, power and gifts to spur you into action. (II:451)

The next step after proving you really believe in Me is proving that you believe in what I'm doing in your fellowmen and
believe in them, also.
If you believe in Me, then it's okay to believe in you, too, because by believing in Me like a true believer does, receiving
from Me that which is necessary to make you what you should be, you will become someone that others can trust in.
I know I can believe in you because of the amount of belief and trust you place in Me. (II:452)

The devil would love to get you to stop believing in each other. But remember what I told you: if I believe in them, then you
can believe in them, too; or if you can't, at least you can believe Me for them, that I will help them make it. (II:465)

Faith, hope and love go hand in hand. If you have love for people and faith in them, then your hope for the future also
increases. (II:466)

I'm stretching your capabilities to love, as well as your faith in people: to continue to believe in them, even when
circumstances are bleak, and they look to you almost like your very enemies. (II:476)

You've got to have the faith and the vision that it's going to be worth it to give and show love to others. (II:498)

Everything is orchestrated by Me, everything visible is only a physical result of some spiritual truth, and thus there is a
plan behind it.
I'm urging you to see the invisible cause of the visible more, to open up your spiritual eyes, the eyes of faith.
If you see the physical as a result of the Spiritual, you develop much greater faith and trust with which to walk through
every day of your life, and which you can impart to others, too. (II:523)

The creative power that faith has creates something out of nothing.
Here's the faith, hope, love connection: first you have the faith that I will give you what you have not, and you ask in faith,
then stretch out the hand of hope, expecting Me to give to you what you have not, and out comes love that works miracles.
(II:524)
284
Please Me by showing your faith in Me! Make My plans more important to you than your own! (II:529)

The less you worry, the more your trust enables Me to work for you.
Faith is a quality which one has more often in spite of what their intellect or their carnal mind tells them than because of it,
because you have to accept My Word in order to get it, which will often tell you the exact opposite of what your mind will
tell you.
Those who think they're so smart are simply not as qualified in My eyes and for My service as those who are simple
enough to trust Me. Faith is so much more valuable and powerful in My eyes than human intellect.
Faith is the power you've got to avail yourself of in order to gain more of what you need.
It's your trust and faith that are doing the work to bring about abundant supply. (II:543)

Once you trust Me for the way I made you, then you also begin to learn to trust Me fully for other things, including other
people, and their blunders, too. (II:547)

When you're faced with a difficult situation or challenge, dont become upset and start ranting and raving!
Show that you believe and trust Me for what I've made you! (II:548)

Those who leave My School prematurely are the ones who didn't have the faith that My love in them could do the humanly
impossible.
All you've really got to do is trust in My Love, that it's great enough to help you to overcome anything. (II:549)

Trust in spite of all that the weeds of darkness can threaten to do; continue to believe and see My Light beyond the
apparent darkness, knowing that the darkness - no matter how gloomy - is only temporal, soon to be chased away by My
glorious, eternal Light. (II:551)

I'm ushering in a new era in which you cease to trust in the power of man and learn to trust more in Me. (II:553)

You're just going to have to trust Me. I don't want you to put your trust in your chariots, but in Me. That's all I'm primarily
interested in cultivating in you: that trust. Trust that I will supply your needs, trust that I will lead you in the right way, trust
that there is really nothing to worry about since you put your hand in Mine and your trust in Me. (II:554)

It takes faith to believe that you can overcome the difficulties and fix the problems. You've got to have the faith that I can
fix anything, even if I test you, and am taking My time until I deliver you. (II:557)

The whole idea of faith and serving Me is that you don't have to serve your circumstances and be subject to them, but to
apply your faith in My Power to make the most out of them.
The ground of your circumstances waits to be tilled, worked and cultivated through your prayers and your obedience to
Me, and thus altered, from an empty ground to a lush green field, that's the ultimate purpose of faith. (II:563)

Trust in Me is the most valuable thing you have. I need to push you to the extreme at times, to find out just how strong,
how pure, how real your trust in Me really is.
Faith in Me is not really valued properly, unless it is the most important thing in your life. I'm constantly trying to get
decisions from each of My children, in order to show who or what they put their trust in when it all comes down to it. And
it's good for you to find out just how much you can trust Me, that even in a life-and-death situation you can rely on Me,
you're in My hands, and everything's under My perfect control.
Every time you manage to get over another hurdle, another obstacle and challenge in life, it will strengthen your faith to
make it over the next one. Your faith will no longer just rely on My promises to you, but also on the experience that I am
well able to keep them.
It's like the tiny little core inside an atom. It's so tiny, compared to the rest of the atom, which is like the works, the
manifestation that makes faith evident. But without that tiny little core, there'd be no atom, because everything else
revolves around it. It's that "little strength" I speak of in Revelations: the tiny little core of faith inside the "atom" of your
works and accomplishments and fruit for Me. Without that tiny little strength, nothing else would come to pass. Without
faith, it is impossible. Just as all things are possible to him that believeth, all things are impossible to him that believeth
not, because faith is what makes everything possible in the first place.
You've got to have faith, otherwise nothing is ever going to happen. No miracles, no lives changed, no light. Only the
darkness and emptiness of unbelief. That's why it's so important that you sow faith. Without faith, there's no real life, only
darkness. You may be seeing all those people, and they may look alive, but without faith, they're not. They're not really
alive. Just going through the motions, like all those dead church rituals and ceremonies. What brings everything to life is
faith, and without faith, there is no life. No life worth living, that is. So, sow faith, help faith to grow, wherever you may go.
Strengthen their faith; make it grow. Tell them that faith is what counts. And nothing else matters. (II:575)

The small, personal cause is infinitesimal when it comes to My true and everlasting Cause. Faith is what makes you hinge
your focus and vision on that, not the mere fleeting earthly and temporal pleasures. (II:578)

285
Sometimes it's only by faith that you can tell that you're on the right side, My side, that I'm with you and that I am blessing
you. Only those with great faith can say, Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. Though He allow me to be imprisoned,
to fall sick or to be persecuted, yet will I trust in Him and in His righteousness and that He does all things well. (II:589)

The most important thing is that you trust Me and don't believe the enemy when he tries to tell you: "You see? Now He
made a mistake!" or, "Now He has proven that He doesn't love you!"
You should always keep your childlike faith in Me! The devil will try to put a lot of thoughts in your head, which look
"grown up", but in the end can be quite silly, and really only have the purpose to destroy faith and trust in Me. (II:597)

Usually you'll find that according to your faith it will be done unto you, according to your faith in My ability to change your
circumstances. (II:608)

I delight to let you get into situations where you're at wit's end and you don't have a clue what you're supposed to do about
it: I want you to learn the obvious, the inevitable: it has come to that; you're just going to have to trust Me! (II:613)

Everybody tends to forget that faith is a vacuum you create in your heart, for Me to fill. It's because the ego doesn't want to
hear about emptiness. (II:623)

There will always be things you will just have to wrap up in a bundle of faith and trust Me for, things that will only be fully
revealed to you when you come Home. That's just part of the deal, when it comes to the life of faith. (II:631)

Its hard to trust sometimes that a God of Love would ask you to do such irrational things, or would use such
unconventional methods, but thats why only those with great faith can really trust Me - and My Word, for that matter. But
when you can trust Me for anything, thats what Id call faith. (II:641)

Focus on the hope that dawn that will be there after darkness! As the days grow darker, remember the glorious dawn that awaits
you. Faith is the ability to enjoy the knowledge of My Promises. (II:648)

In order to make real forward movement and visible, lasting progress, youre going to have to commit your ways unto Me
and put your trust in Me, that I will bring those things that concern you to pass. Youre going to have to trust in Me to do it
for you, instead of vaguely hoping that it might work out alright. (II:655)

See your faith crystallizing into something solid, not anymore something vague, scarcely real, but a firm ingredient of your
life, something to rely on, count on and lean on. Also realize that your faith is something thats alive and fragile, something
you dare not neglect. Its something you have to keep feeding, keep nurturing and tending, otherwise it might fade away
and you find yourself weakened and anything but prepared for the battles of life ahead.
Prove to the rest of the world that faith is something more valuable, a more powerful weapon and a greater safeguard and
insurance than the things they rely on, like money, or the work of their own hands.
Its still relatively few who choose that path of faith over the arm of the flesh and the more familiar road of self-reliance
that the vast majority trots...
Your task is to allow others to benefit from your faith, to show that its something they can have, too, and that its
something to obtain so easily that any little child could, if they but ask for it and accept it. (III:1)

Faith from the heart, thats the flame youve got to tend, the power youve got to feed from and act from: thats gotta be
your motor, the hearth on which is to be done whatever youre cooking up... where its got to be happening! Thats where
youve got to find your answers, your motivations, your direction, your driving force that spurs you on. that knowledge
deep inside the heart, that I wont let My disciples down, like a treasure and an anchor that holds them in their trust in Me.
(III:2)

The art of seeing Me in others, in everything... is the art of believing that in that imperfection, that momentary ugliness of
the caterpillar or cocoon, there's a higher purpose and a greater beauty hidden than meets the eye, that shall be revealed
with time. Wait and see what I'm still going to do, what that ugly duckling is still destined to become! It's good advice, to
wait and see. (III:23)

You can complain all you want about what bothers you - or you can silently trust Me.
The Shunnamite woman could have complained about her son having died. But did she? When the prophet asked her
through his servant, "Is all well with you and your son?" she replied, "All is well."
She trusted that, although he was dead, all was well, because I was in control. And I rewarded her faith with her son's
resurrection. How much of that kind of faith can you muster? How much can you trust and say "All is well" by faith?
Choose whether you're going to take a trusting stance or not. (III:47)

Pursue those things I want you to seek, and "follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out
of a pure heart" (2Tim.2:22).
Instead of running after money, you'll be running after faith; you'll be following My footprints of faith, and obtain
everlasting riches. (III:55)

It's not goodness that would "earn" My blessings, but faith. Faith and humility. The faith to receive, and the humility to
accept it, that there's nothing you can do on your own to make you any more worthy. (III:60)
286
Life has its ups and downs, and I purposely allow a whole lotta shakin' going on in order to test you.
The ultimate clinch being, will you trust Me anyway, or at some point allow yourself to believe that you know better than
Me?
Real faith will continue trusting that I know what I'm doing. (III:74)

True victors don't go by what "it seems like." They know that those appearances can be deceiving. They don't fall for "false
evidence appearing real." Instead, they cling to My Word, that all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). It
seems impossible? Make it possible, by believing anyway. You can make it possible, you can make it happen through your
faith, because all things are possible to him that believes. (III:78)

It takes faith to do things differently than the rest, but that's all part of the school of faith. (III:79)

Keep praying, and trust Me for the rest, that I will do what you can't do! (III:80)

You need to grow in love, tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness of others, having more faith in them, and positive
expectations. (III:84)

Forgiveness is a great part of faith, too. Sometimes it takes more faith to be forgiving than to wreak judgment and
condemnation on your enemies. (III:100)

You've got to know that you can trust Me. (III:117)

It takes trust in Me, that I didn't give you a serpent or a stone, but good bread to eat, and that I knew what I was doing in
giving you to each other.
I promise you won't regret having trusted Me fully; it will all be worth it in the end, and you'll see, there could have been no
better result possible than what I am going to bring about through all this. (III:120)

Don't put your faith in numbers, but in Me! (III:135)

Be ready to face things in the appropriate spirit and attitude of faith! (III:151)

Haven't I always said, "According to your faith be it unto you?" (Mt.9:29). And if you have the vision and burden for
something, or a "dream," then by all means, grab it.
Life is life for those who grab the opportunities, and not those who hesitate. Sometimes you've got to grab life's
opportunities.
I don't want you to get high headed during those times of abundance, nor to trust in riches, and I don't want you to become
negatively affected by times of poverty and hardship, either. If you can face both with the same joy and confidence, and
you can happily and calmly take both with a grin, then you'll have become a man of faith. (III:156)

Focusing on the Maker, the Author of everything, will enable you to perform the greatest magic of all: My magic of faith, the
magic of "nothing is impossible." (III:166)

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! (III:186)

In their eyes I am as nothing, and those who follow Me are as nothing. But if you can show them that that so-called nothing
is not all that little, after all, and give them a glimpse of what that "nothing" is capable of, that's the kind of faith I love.
(III:190)

The mystery of emptiness is the greatest gift that enables you to receive any of the other ones... it is the faith that makes
all else possible. (III:200)

The flaws, mistakes and imperfections in your co-fighters have been little more than a big test of your faith, to see whether
you would still keep going for Me, still keep holding on faithfully, in spite of them.
A lot depends on you, on your faith, on your refusal to fall for the obvious, that which is at hand, on the surface.
A lot depends on your determination to believe that somehow everything is going to turn out well in the end, even though
you don't know how - it's a mystery.
You may think you're lost, from the looks of the circumstances, but everything depends on your faith to believe that
somehow things are going to turn out alright anyway. - Because I'm in control. It may not look like it, but you'll know - your
faith will be strong enough to tell - that I am, anyway, and that I'm just allowing the chaotic looks of things in order to test
you, to make sure that you've really got what it takes that will deserve and merit the reward. (III:205)

The slow flux of input you get from reading or hearing from Me, or closing your eyes in prayer seems to be downshifting to
a lower gear, when your natural inclinations tell you to do more in order to get there faster.
But that's where faith comes in. Faith to do the opposite of what your flesh tells you to do.

287
Faith disregards all the philosophies of man and their counsel on how to make headway, it discards all that the world
advertises as wisdom and their secrets to "success" and chooses to go the opposite way, one that apparently leads
nowhere, down to the most undesirable place of the defeat and death of that which the System is trying to build up: the
ego, the self, one's own position and advantage...
Faith defies the wisdom of the flesh. It has the courage to say "No" to it. "No, thank you! That's very kind of you to offer me
that advice on how to get ahead and on how to enhance my image, but I think I'll have to pass. Because there's this voice
that says, 'There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is destruction...' I'm afraid I can't follow your
path..." And then turns around and goes the opposite way. (III:215)

If it isn't easy, then there must be a reason for it, you must trust that I have a purpose in it.
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. That trust is a requirement for the magic to work.
You've got to enable Me to bring about the good out of this by believing and putting forth your trust, and focusing on that
ultimately positive outcome. (III:216)

I limit Myself to working through your faith. The connection and link between the physical and the spiritual - the
manifestation of your hopes and dreams - lies in your faith. It's the vacuum that draws from the Spirit World that which you
hope for.
If you hope for something, then act and believe and have faith for it... walk toward the goal of the fulfillment of your
dreams.
You must not only hope, but also believe, in order not to be disappointed.
I didn't have to persuade anyone to follow Me or talk them into it. I just said, "Follow Me," and they did.
Don't let doubts or hesitation, lethargy or lack of enthusiasm rob and kill the great things I could do through your united
faith! (III:218)

Trust in My creative Power, in My ability to give life where there was no life!
There is one difference between believers and the rest of the world, and that's their little strength (Rev.3:8), their faith to
believe Me for the seemingly impossible.
Dont allow the Enemy to rob you of that little strength, that little light of faith of yours, to believe Me for the impossible,
against all odds, against any apparent circumstances.
Walk by faith, not by sight! If you always and only go by what you see, you won't walk the walk of faith very far. It's not
about what you see, it's about what you can't see!
Believe Me for the things that you can't see! Believe Me for them because I have promised them.
You cannot hinge your faith on man or what you see in the temporal realm. The power that makes things happen comes
from Me, from My invisible, eternal Realm... and as you have already realized, more often in spite of yourselves and your
lack of faith
Only the true visionaries and prophets can see what I see. They don't see the failures that those see who look with the
eyes of the flesh only. But they believe Me for My promises. They refuse to doubt that what I have promised is true, and I
will honor their faith.
Believing is easy when all the evidence supports what you believe. "Blessed are they who, not seeing, yet believe (Jn.20:29)."
(III:227)

"Keep your eyes upon the goal and the victory in your soul!" It's more than a mindset! It's more than a feeling! It's more
than a conviction! It's "the victory that overcometh the world, even your faith!" It's that "little strength" that you have and
put to use by drawing Power from Heaven that is much greater than your own! It's putting that "little strength" to use, that
you've got, and making it work, and pulling down with it the tremendous power of God. It's finally getting your eyes off
yourself, and your petty little problems and situations, and focusing where it counts: You may indeed be very small and
seemingly insignificant, but you've got one mighty God, and He can make all the difference in the universe for you, if you
just apply your little strength of faith to switch on His mighty Power and make it work in your life! (III:230)

It takes faith to see beyond the circumstances of your age, the shape and the demands of your body; all the physical
factors that would make up a perfectly acceptable argument in favor of not doing that crazy thing your heart is tugging you
to do.
But then, certain things never would have happened, if there wouldn't have been that someone to disobey their carnal
reasoning or the voices of comfort that sounded so much like "home." Instead, they wandered out into the wilderness, into
the unknown, and did the unbelievable, things that even their own brethren at first would not understand.
They forsook all that made perfect sense to the rest of the world for some call they felt in their hearts and they just couldn't
ignore... (III:236)

If you can't trust what's happening in your life, at least you can trust Me for it, that I'm not going to allow it to lead you
astray. (III:241)

My nature is trust. Trust that even if no one is found willing to utter My Words and praises, the rocks will cry out, if need be
- symbolic of all the stony hearts I'm having to change into ones that are finally yielded to Me, and willing to do My
bidding... (III:245)

Thats all you've got to do, basically: Just keep trusting Me, no matter what. (III:248)

288
The perfect is by faith. - For now. It will come, and you'll see it, and see that it will all have been worth it, but for right now,
it's all by faith, and you'll have to walk by faith, and not by sight. (III:249)

Your life and destiny are in My hands, so there is really no use in worrying... You're going to have to trust that all things
that come to you come from My hand, and that I know what's best for you. (III:254)

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. (III:282)

Trust that time is in My hands! (III:284)

Give Me a chance to prove that it's worth it to trust Me! (III:286)

Have a little faith in what I'm doing!

You've got to believe in what I've given you.
Have the faith that if I have given it, then there are going to be recipients for it, too, people who are destined to receive
what you have to give. (III:287)

Appreciating what you have and being thankful for what you're given, is a matter of trust in Me, too - trust that I have given
you exactly what you need. (III:288)

If what it takes for you to develop a little more faith in others is to destroy your faith in your own goodness, then that's
what I will do and use... (III:291)

Youve just got to have the faith and vision that I know best, and I will make it worth it all somehow, eventually, and you will
see it and glorify Me. (III:295)

Sometimes you just have to get through the not-so-good days and trust that I'm in them, too, even if you can't see Me or
feel Me.
It's those times of uncertainty that serve best to make sure you become certain of your cause.
I need to get your faith to the point where you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have not left you nor forsaken
you, even when all the circumstances and ten thousand voices seem to be screaming the opposite!
Even when things ought to be different, and you ought to be doing better, I am the One to decide in which aspect you
ought to be doing better, and if I decide, "Now it's time for another lesson on trust," then you're just going to have to learn
how to trust Me, even when it seems as if you're failing the rest of the world. (III:324)

Realizing that evil works for good gives you greater faith in our Cause. It helps you to praise Me more for when something
"bad" happens, for you will know, it will just be another stepping stone toward My future, another gallon of fuel that will get
our rocket to its destination.
That's the trick: not to resist it, but to yield to My plan; not to fight it in your own energy, but to trust Me that I have
integrated it into My perfect plan, and thus, everything belongs, whether short-sighted folks can see it, or not.
It's not fatalism. It's the faith that I can handle anything, and to those who believe that, and those who love Me, there is
nothing "wrong." Nothing can go "wrong" for those who trust Me, for I will right all their "wrongs." (III:329)

I have faith in you, and I'm very patient. "Love suffereth long and is kind..." I'm not in a hurry. Maybe you sometimes lose
patience with yourself, but I don't.
If I can believe that you're eventually going to make it, then you can believe Me for it, too, can't you? At least you can try.
(III:332)

I want your faith and trust for your sustenance to come from the pure source of preaching My Word. (III:343)

Are you going to let the circumstances and the appearance of things, affect you? Or are you going to keep on believing
and hoping for the best, in spite of them? To whom or what do you lend greater weight and credibility: to what you see, or
to My promises, and what I say?
This has been the great question and challenge of faith of all times. Are you willing to believe My Word more than what you
see, the apparent evidence and the facts?
You've got to decide whether you're going to believe in the evidence of things that are seen, or "the evidence of things not
seen," which is the definition of faith (Heb.11:1).
After all, that's what walking by faith, not by sight, means: you walk and act and behave according to the things I say in My
Word, the source from which your faith comes, as opposed to the circumstances of what you see.
You're going to have to decide whether you're going to believe the evidence of what you see, or what I say. (III:345)

Its all about walking by faith, and not by sight: believing Me for what I say, rather than what you can see before your eyes.
(III:347)

You will be victorious because of your trust in Me, not because of any strength you acquired by your own efforts or works.

289
Unfortunately, trust and faith is Me is something that some people simply lack because they don't cling to the source that
brings these blessings into their lives, which is My Word, and if you find yourself lacking spiritual strength and trust, then
it's most likely because you've been neglecting My Word. (III:351)

When trouble comes - and trouble will come - who is likely to stand their ground and not lose their faith? - Those who have
been strengthening it and feeding it and investing their time in it.
When the devil's flood of iniquity and lies is going to sweep this world for it's greatest hour of temptation yet, you're not
going to be sorry you've been investing your time in building your faith.
The time you're going to have invested in strengthening your faith and establishing this line of communication with Me will
seem anything but wasted then! (III:355)

Just have a little trust in My abilities to plan and design, faith in My Love for detail and precision, and hold on a little
longer, even if you can't possibly see how any of this is supposed to wind up making any sense at all.
This is a walk and life of faith, which means you don't know everything there is to know with a 100% assurance, every step
you take, and every inch along the way! Some things you've got to take by faith in this life and walk of faith, and even
though your head cannot make out the purpose and sense in it all, at least your heart should have that trust and inner,
deeper knowledge that in spite of the appearance of it all, I'm in control. I stand in the midst of you, and yet I hold you in
My hands (Rev.2:12-16, 20).
I'm trying to find out is, how much do you really trust Me?
It's so easy to trust when everything's flowing according to plan. Trust doesn't become trust until things are not the way
you'd expect them to be. (III:364)

Its time to really show in whom you truly put your trust. And your path will be rewarded according to that choice. Without
faith, it is impossible to please Me (Heb.11:1), and without works, that faith is dead. (III:376)

It always takes one man (or woman) of faith to get the stone rolling and to initiate the process, to believe Me for what I said,
without any evidence for it. For them, faith is the evidence, the title deed to the promise they cling to. They say, if I said it,
then they count it done. (III:381)

Once you are on My path, you must trust that time is in My hands, and that the learning and growing process happens at
My perfectly ordained pace, and you cannot become impatient with Me or yourself, or others
Without that trust, you cannot truly love, because you will always expect more and faster progress from yourself and
others than youre able to deliver.
Sometimes the step I want you to take for Me is to simply wait and trust that I will come through for you, to flip that
spiritual switch and make that decision to trust and believe in Me.
When you look around, thats precisely what a lot of people are lacking. Im not expecting them to take the gigantic step for
Me to drop out, forsake all and follow Me right off the bat. What theyve got to do first of all, before they can take any
further significant step for Me, is to take that step of faith and make the decision that theyre going to trust Me with their
lives, that theyre going to believe in Me and have faith in Me.
You practically have to take that step afresh every day and decide youre going to trust Me for your present circumstances
and problems and their outcome!
Thats why Patience takes faith. In order to have the patience that makes love possible, first of all you gotta have faith.
Faith is the process that makes the tree (of your spiritual life) grow from the seeds, the Word. Faith is what causes the tree
to grow in the first place, without faith there is no tree of a spiritual life. And once faith has done its work, it worketh
patience. (III:383)

All is good! All will be good. And if it will be good, it is as good as done. You can count it done! Trust Me! I promised it, and
it will be so. Its really a matter of trust. How much do you really trust in those promises of Mine? (III:394)

As so often, I can only say, have a little faith in Me! Have a little trust in Me, that I wont give you a snake or a rock for an
egg or bread I give you good food. (III:395)

All the smartness and capabilities in the world wont get you to your destination, they wont enable you to survive whats
to come; but faith can. That doesnt mean that intelligence and strength are totally useless, and that you shouldnt use
them, but you should not rely on them to the extent that you would rely on faith in Me and My strength, and greater
knowledge and wisdom. (III:398)

Take it by faith that the hard times are just as much part of My plan, and thus just as much reason to rejoice as the good
times. (III:401)

Its annoying when those youre supposed to be able to rely on turn out to be less than reliable, but it should stress all the
more the urgency of putting all your hopes and trust in Me.
People often overestimate the role of a group or body of people, be it their church, their government, etc., and then blame
them for letting them down. I want to make sure you get the point that its futile to rely on people to such an extent, and
that it really only pays to put your trust in Me. (III:404)

Trust that I know better what I allow than you ever could
290
It takes a whole lot of faith and patience on your part, because the show isnt according to your liking and personal
preferences, but can you trust Me anyway for what Im doing? (III:406)

I never said My Words and Promises wouldnt require faith.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen the only evidence you need, as far as Im concerned. (III:409)

Youve come this far by faith, and it may not seem like much to you, and as far as youre concerned, it may look as though
you have come nowhere. But I see differently. I know what I have constructed in your life to be worth infinitely more than
any structure of physical and material value!
I know something you dont, and I want you to just trust Me that I know what Im doing in your life. (III:428)

Its important that you believe that I have given you the power to overcome your weaknesses, and dont accept the mindset
of the Enemy that youre helpless against them, and theres nothing you can do about them, so you might as well resign to
your fate and live with them for the rest of your life. (III:429)

The main purpose of My Word is not to instill a feeling in you, but to provide you with truth as a foundation to build your
faith on.
The main purpose of the truth you convey and pass on to others is to ignite in them a faith that they can build their lives
on, and that will be more than a feeling, something solid, sturdy and lasting in the spirit . (III:438)

Youve got to believe in My miracle-working power going to work in people, you cannot underestimate Me and what I can
do to change peoples lives. (III:447)

Allow Me to determine which things are good for you and which arent, and in what amounts! Learn to trust Me with that
and cope with the fact that youll have to leave the proportions, distribution and measures of lifes pleasures in My hands!
(III:450)

Walk by faith, not by sight! Keep your eyes on Me, instead of yourself! (III:453)

Learn to trust, because thats what youre going to need, in order to teach people unfamiliar with that concept! All they
ever trusted in was the arm of the flesh, and the System around them, along with everything else they can touch and feel
and see.
You have to trust Me that I can trust you with the load I have given you to bear. (III:464)

Bear with Me for allowing the crises in your life, and trust Me that they are necessary for you to learn the ultimate lesson,
which is to have Me in the first place in your life, your primary target of focus, above all and anyone else.
The kind of faith youve got to have is one that will enable you to stand unmoved by anything that your enemies may do to
you. (III:469)

How about trusting Me for what I bring along, as ugly and weird as it may seem? (III:488)

It seems like a hopeless job, when everything you try to sow in their lives is being torn down again by the world in which
they are so much more deeply immersed than the influence you have on them, but thats where faith comes in to never
give up. Faith that I am greater and stronger than any and all circumstances, and that nothing and no situation is ever
hopeless with Me; never. (III:508)

You need to trust that I only allow whats best for you, and you can trust Me, even about those things I may temporarily
have to withhold from you. (III:512)

Trust that Im in total control, even if the whole thing may appear to be somewhat out of control!
I am the One Who doesnt and wont make mistakes, so it pays to make Me the one true foundation of your lives and to put
your entire trust in. (III:518)

Just as you have to make the conscious decision to focus on Me and trust in Me for the positive outcome of your physical
circumstances, and make an effort of faith to see the good in the bad, because I promised Id work it all out for your good,
so you must do the same with people, and refuse to look at the seemingly overwhelming negative side of things, their poor
qualities, their lack of interest in spiritual things, their unwillingness to participate in working for My Cause, and instead
look at the good, even if its nothing more than a ray of hope that Im in control and will somehow use the apparently bad
to turn out for good for them, just as I did in your life. (III:519)

Youve got to use and apply the power in faith, and not with an attitude of Lets see if this works!
Faith knows God will do it, and He does! (III:543)

What do you have the faith, the vacuum, and the space to receive? (III:546)

You get what you ask for and have the faith for. (III:552)

291
It is your task to continue trusting, to continue following faithfully, even if it seems that youre one of the few who do. (III:563)

Trust Me, that contrary to what it may seem to you at the moment, tough experiences are infinitely more valuable than
happy and easy times. (III:589)

My Words build up your faith, since thats where faith comes from in the first place, and faith is just about the most
important thing you can invest your time in apart from love.
The testing of your faith is more precious than gold (1Peter 1:7).
In other words, were upping the value of your currency. Were making your faith even more precious, more valuable, and
its going to be an even stronger force to be reckoned with on the market of life.
Its going to last while all other currencies are going down.
Hang on to your faith, for I swear it will bring you greater rewards. (III:590)

Theres that tendency to care for yourself and see what you can do for yourself and save yourself a little bit, instead of
fully giving Me everything and then relying and trusting in Me fully to see you through.
Theres a whole lot more trusting to be done. (III:594)

Make sure that any sense of security and notion of safety is founded in your faith and trust in Me, not any other commodity
or physical strength, talent or attribute. (III:595)

Your faith manifested in doing what you can will result in My pouring out to you in greater measure, and eventually youre
going to start pouring and never stop (III:602)

Your prayers show your faith and trust in My Words, and that I can do what you cant.
Praise is your positive declaration of faith in the fact that if you have asked for it, and I have promised to answer your
prayers, you can count it as good as done.
Your prayers are what you are going to make out of your faith in those everlasting words, and your praise is the
manifestation that you believe that I not only will do it, but by faith have already done it and thus you count it done.
(III:604)

Even faith will become obsolete some day, when the whole world shall see.
It will be obvious to the whole world what right now is only obvious to those who choose to see through the eyes of faith,
namely that everything is a gift from Me to the children of men in the first place. (III:606)

It takes real faith to believe that they that are with us are more than they that be with them, and it takes constant and
steady focus on those superior, howbeit invisible forces guaranteeing your victory.
It takes faith to prefer the spirit over the flesh, and esteem the spiritual above the carnal; faith that they dont have, who
invest the bulk of their time in other things than My Word, which would give them the faith. (IV:2)

What counts is how much faith you have that I can make it through you despite any unfavorable circumstances or odds
against you!
Instead of letting the negative things you observe kill your faith, why dont you use them as an incentive to determine to do
what you can in order to change things for the better? (IV:7)

Youve got to make a little effort and stretch out your hands of faith to receive.
If Im allowing certain of My blessings to be withheld from you, or their flow to be reduced, then youve just got to trust Me
that that is also part of My love for you, and that I know what Im doing.
You can trust Me, even if this may not look like the usual or reasonable thing for Me to do! (IV:8)

While there was apparent defeat before Me, I knew that beyond it lay greater victory, and thats the sort of vision, faith and
trust you also must have. (IV:12)

People with a strong will have a harder time to form successful relationships with others and finding it in them to carry out
orders or whats required of them, especially when its in aspects that require faith, instead of situations with immediate,
tangible rewards and gratifications. (IV:18)

What are the resources needed to finish running the race for Me? Well, primarily faith. As long as you believe that all
things are possible, youll know that even if you get stuck along the way, seemingly without any strength or resources to
continue, Ill be able to supply you with what you need. (IV:21)

Stretch your faith even yet a bit more and trust Me that everything is going to turn out alright in the end anyway, even if
thats not what it looks like right now.
Can you make an effort to have a little bit of a believing and trusting attitude that Im capable of bringing the best out of a
situation, and that Im in full control?
You cannot put your trust in the circumstances or the shape theyre in. The only One it pays to put your trust in fully am I. I
can salvage any situation, no matter how bad.

292
Its easier to embrace the pleasant things as parts that belong in your life. But thats where faith is needed to recognize
those blessings in disguise, which will often have a more positive effect on the overall outcome than the seemingly and
initial good things. All things work together for good to them that love Me, not just the supposedly good things.
Faith is not looking at the circumstances, but at what by faith Im going to make out of them. Just trust Me that one day
youll be very thankful for the lessons in your life. (IV:26)

The vast majority is far more interested in finding other things beside Me
Which makes it so that more faith is required on behalf of My people in order not to lose the vision for the commission Ive
given them to preach the Gospel more faith is required in order to obey Me than would be necessary if everyone would
be eager to find and know Me. (IV:30)

Youve got to allow the mystery to happen along with the suffering, along with all the stuff that perhaps you wouldnt have
allowed or built in there, had you been the architect, but thats precisely where faith and trust come in and run circles
around pride and all the carnal mind will ever rig up in its own efforts. (IV:33)

Faith the one thing that is really going to keep you going regardless of how you may feel. (IV:61)

Folks refuse to accept your view because theyre scared of the truth. They dont know that they can trust Me. Thats why
faith and trust are such important issues and themes to convey: thats part of your job, to impart to them the confidence
and assurance that yes, they can trust Me, that I am trustworthy indeed, they can put their trust in Me. I wont let them
down. (IV:64)

The enemy has rigged up the illusion that he has vastly outnumbered you, and it takes faith to see through his scheme,
and that in reality it isnt so.
You feel so powerless sometimes, your efforts seem so puny at times compared to whats needed, and you feel
overwhelmed by the apparent superiority of the enemys presence everywhere in this world. But thats where faith comes
in that still sees Me in everything to an even greater extent than the enemys power.
Politically, morally and culturally speaking, it can be said that hes got the whole world in his hands. But only those with
great faith can see the extent to which he has taken over this world, but still know that in reality it is I Who have got the
whole world in My hands. (IV:65)

My Power to truly alter reality and really bring some improvement and some real light and hope to brighten up the
darkness requires faith, the one currency that most of the world is pretty broke of, precisely because theyre feeding their
minds all sorts of different input instead of My Word.
That certain little quality that the vast majority of people lack, is faith in My Word. (IV:67)

Be not envious of evildoers, dont keep dreaming their same temporal dreams or get caught up in their world, which is not
yours; not your home But trust that there is something better to come. Fully trust in My Promise and count on it as a
reality!
You can trust Me! Thats what I want you to convey to others, this very confidence, so its of utmost importance that you
learn to do that yourself first. (IV:68)

Optimism may not always pay off when it comes to people, but it will pay off when it comes to Me. Its actually not just
blind optimism then, but real faith and trust. (IV:70)

The goal is to get them to trust in Me. (IV:73)

I want you to convey to people by your own sample the assurance that you can trust Me! (IV:77)

How prepared are you for a situation in which youd have to trust Me and Me alone?
How else will you be ready then, unless you learn how to trust Me now for everything? (IV:82)

You know you never lose by giving, you cant help but win. That kind of generosity requires trust; perfect trust that I will
take care of you. (IV:83)

I like My people to walk and operate by faith. I want to show the whole universe that faith in Me even without having all of
the facts about Me straight is better than their supposed knowledge consisting of so-called facts, that will some day
crumble underneath them and take them to a very unhappy ending of their episode.
Well all find out what teachings will hold ground in the end, and whether all their knowledge will truly turn out to be so
much better than your ridiculed faith. (IV:90)

Youre up against a physical majority, and the only way youre going to prevail against them is through your faith, which is
what overcomes the world.
What matters is that faith in the truth rules your own heart and mind and life. (IV:91)

The only way anyone is going to make it successfully to the goal in the faith life is by keeping their eyes on Me.

293
People who hinge most of their faith and give most of their attention throughout their life to a person or group dont have
the same kind of lasting anchor to hold them once that person or focal point is gone They have sown to the visible,
tangible and perishable, and have thus reaped the loss of the same and the pain that comes with it (IV:105)

Faith will lead to true knowledge. Lack of faith will often only lead to science falsely so-called. Men of faith are those who
will climb the un-scaled walls and sail the uncharted seas that will lead to new, revelatory views and aspects, whereas
those who dont possess faith other than in what they can see, will usually only find another abyss for them to stumble
into. (IV:111)

A mistake many people make in their equation and analysis of everything is that they think that the here and now is all
theyve ever got, but its not.
I speak of eternal life and of Heaven, a better place, throughout My Word, and if they refuse to believe that, I cannot really
help them.
All that really matters is whose promises you believe and put your faith in. (IV:113)

If you can take everything: life, the universe, your circumstances, etc. where its at, and trust Me for it all, that its really just
proportioned for your best, and trust that Im not purposely withholding any good thing from you, as I promised, then life
can become the full, round thing for you that its supposed to be. You wont stare at the empty half of the glass, or the hole
in the donut, but at whats there to enjoy.
Trust in My fairness and justice and take everything giving thanks!
In order to make the right choices, have the right attitude of trust in Me, and really prove that youre going to put your faith
in Me, not the empty promises of the enemy.
Have true, strong and pure faith in the fact that I know what Im doing, even if it may not seem like it to you! (IV:114)

There are things that are more important than your own immediate satisfaction, happiness and contentment, and I need
you to trust Me for that.
If you cannot even trust Me that I know and mean best, then how are you ever going to get anyone else to believe it?
You must learn not to turn toward the creation and manifestations for the fulfillment of your hopes and expectations from
life, but to the Creator, to the Source of everything. Otherwise youre making the same mistake everybody else does, and
its no wonder that neither you nor they ever find real happiness that way. (IV:129)

I always do fulfill My Promises, wait and see.

Sometimes the timing of their fulfillment depends a little bit on your cooperation, your faith and your willingness to help
Me bring them to pass. If you have a believing attitude of Yes, Lord; I believe that youre going to do it, its going to be
more helpful in bringing about My plans, than a doubting attitude
How strong is your faith in My Promises, and that Im going to fulfill them? (IV:132)

You sometimes lack the approval of others, and you wonder, How can I be on the right track if theres so little approval
from others? as if approval of others were the one reliable safeguard to ensure youre on the right track.
But that would mean that your faith would be based on people, their applause and reactions to you, and thats not what I
want. (IV:148)

Just keep trusting and believing, and seeking first My Kingdom, clinging to My Promise that all these things shall be added
unto you if you do.
I want you to invest your energy in your faith in Me and My Cause, to make a believing effort and project your hopes and
expectations on Me, and not try to come up with some carnal solution of something you might do in the arm of the flesh
I want to prove to you that I am real and that youre making no mistake to trust in Me, in order for you to be able to testify
to others that I can also be there for them and take their burdens off their shoulders.
What really counts about your message is not so much whatever youll say, if its not supported by the way you live. The
fact that youre living by faith, are following Me and living close to Me is a testimony that speaks louder than any words of
yours ever could. Keep on believing. You wont be disappointed. (IV:155)

Youre just going to have to trust Me for everything! Not in any human being living on this earth, nor any other entity or
force anyone might reckon with, but absolutely only Me.
If youre going to put your trust in anyone, and you really want Someone reliable to be in charge of your life, your
happiness, and everything, let it be Me!

Trust Me for the quantity I supply for you, and for the frequency with which I supply certain things. Maybe if youd get more
of it, it simply wouldnt be good for you.
Im handing out those blessings in exactly the right measure to you. (IV:164)

Trust simply knows and doesnt have to be convinced anymore that I know better and have a good reason for everything I
allow Thats faith: you cant see it, but you know its there, anyway.
You may not even be able to feel it, but you just know it, anyway. Faith is knowing it anyway: that I mean well, that I know
best, that I choose and only allow whats good and best for you, even if your interpretation of your circumstances and your
feelings may tell you something different or the downright opposite.

294
Faith is the lone believer in that lonely voice out there that preaches the opposite of what the large majority preaches. It is
the lone believer in the rare voice of truth, the one single proclaimer of what the large majority would never have the
audacity or courage to embrace: the utterly preposterous option that I, in spite of all the evidence man claims he has for
the world being millions, nay billions of years old, should have made this thing in 6 short days, and not much longer than
6000 years ago
There may be a sea of voices telling you one thing, constantly repeating it, like some mantra theyre obsessed with, but
faith knows anyway that the opposite is true.
Faith is not swayed nor swept away by the stream of conformity of the majority, but has the guts to be one single, lone
believer and rock, and voice of truth a lone bulwark of truth in the midst of a sea of lies, knowing that My Presence
within you will surpass and outlast all their furious ragings against you, their battering against your walls, their pounding
on your shores that moans, Give up, finally! (IV:165)

I wouldnt want your faith to be only in your head. (IV:166)

Whatever it is you want to accomplish for Me, grab it by faith!

So much at your disposal is only recognizable by faith, but youve got to pursue that track of faith and seek until you find!
(IV:175)

Faith requires time to grow. The seed of the Word is sown, and then it takes a little while until it comes to fruition.
Thats what the whole issue of faith is all about: Will you merely be one more of those who settle for all thats available and
obtainable in the here and now, or will you be less short-sighted and set your affections on things to come? (IV:187)

Expectation The hand of faith reaches out and waits. That is how faith works. How easy it would be for people to reach
out and touch Me, isnt it? And yet, all they lack is a little bit of faith.
It all depends on how real you believe I am, and how strongly you believe in My Words and Promises.
Even if many blame Me for being absent when they most needed Me, I am never absent. I may only be beyond their
capacity of perception due to their weak or absent faith in Me, but that happens to be the one requirement: you must
believe. It will always be done unto you according to your faith.
According to your faith, your ability to see, perceive, hear, feel and touch Me will be released. Its like the knob that allows
the intensity with which you can perceive Me, just as a volume knob on a TV or radio will increase the level of the volume
of the music. And of course, you must be certain to have tuned into My channel first
The power is always on. Meaning, not only the power of My voice, and the opportunity to hear Me, but also the power of My
supply, and the only thing needed to make it all work, is faith. See what creative power faith has? Its truly all by faith!
(IV:189)

Faith becomes your principal and most essential weapon, the faith that disregards the odds and knows that I am able to
overcome them all for you. (IV:191)

That faith and trust you have acquired by your faithful study of My Word and committing My Promises to heart must be put
to use and put to the test, just as gold is purified in the fire.
What Abraham in effect was saying was, Even if God asks me to kill my own beloved son, I will trust in Him. The same as
Job, who said, Even if He kills me, yet will I trust in Him.
Can you trust that much?
Can you let go of everything and trust Me that I will hold it for you, and make something much more precious out of it than
what you previously had?
Can you trust Me that My Love for you is so great and so pure, that no matter what I ask of you, no matter what I ask you to
give up for Me, I will always give you something better in return?
Honor Me by trusting Me.
Will you fully honor Me by giving your full trust to Me, and trusting Me with your life, your future, everything?
Can you fully trust that you are in the best hands, and thus in the best place in the universe you could possibly be?
One day you will realize that nothing else really mattered in your life, compared to the importance of My Presence in it, My
involvement in it, and your decision to trust Me. (IV:192)

If you really knew and were aware of the extent to which I am actively present and involved in your lives, you would have
full trust for every second, every moment of your lives, and you wouldnt worry or fret about anything anymore Not
about death, and certainly not about living, how to bring in your money and support, etc. (IV:195)

Youre going to have to be able to rely on Me; thats what matters, and thats what will count: how much will you have
learned to truly rely on Me?
That will determine the extent to which you will panic or not even when everyone else around you will be panicking.
The extent to which youre learning to trust Me calmly now in the face of adversity and loss will determine how well youll
be faring then, when adversity and loss will reach unprecedented proportions.
Im training you not to cling to things any more than necessary.
Im training you to trust even in the face of loss.
Your strength and faith in those days and in the face of real calamities will determine whether youve really got something
to give, and whether what you have is going to be real gold faith thats not going to go up in flames like their paper money
and their paper money faith. (IV:196)
295
The key to life, and life abundant (John 10:10), is trust in Me. (IV:199)

I sometimes test your faith, whether youre going to keep on believing even if it seems as if I had forsaken you.
If youre going to believe Me and trust Me, I want you to know why you do, and how youve reached the conclusion and
determination to trust Me.
And in order for you to know those things quite for certain, so that your faith in them will be able to endure any storm (and
lo, the storm is coming), I allow you to be tested and to pass through experiences that will assure you over and over again
of the reasons that lead you to conclude that you can trust Me, even if temporarily it may not seem to be the case at times.
I want your faith to outweigh the circumstances. (IV:212)

I know its hard sometimes to keep the faith and to stay in the firm knowledge and assurance of My Love, especially when
there are so many influences from the carnal mind and the vibes of the System and the Matrix pounding on you - All their
vibes of disbelief and skepticism and doubt.
The Love, Light and fullness that I would like to give takes real faith to see in a world where there seems to be none of it.
It takes the Don Quixote type of faith to see noble knights and ladies where others only see scum and lunacy. (IV:220)

Your faith is needed most in the dark and trying moments when things dont appear to make perfect sense upon first
glance. It would be easy to trust when everything flows smoothly.
But while I do bless your obedience, it is also very important that your trust is truly solely in Me, not in your own good
works. Your faith cant be a mix of trust in Me and reliance on your own merits. Isnt it thus that even your obedience is
largely a work of My grace? (IV:232)

Trust is something more worthwhile to acquire than knowledge.

The kind of knowledge I would like you to gain is the knowing and assurance that you can trust Me beyond a shadow of a
doubt. Its that knowing from the heart, an assurance, a conviction that will get you much further than any accumulation of
data ever could.
Its the Spirit, rather than the cold, factual information value of whats being said that truly increases your faith, and thus
your spiritual bank account. (IV:235)

Faith is taking the craziness of it all and the apparent mess that life consists of and wrapping it up in a bundle of faith,
trusting Me for it, and as I have promised that in due time all things shall be revealed and they will wind up making
perfect sense to you. (IV:244)

Life wasnt meant to be all about enjoying all the rewards already there and now. Some things are still meant to come and
meant to be obtained by hanging in there, even if you cant see the reward and the fulfillment of the promise right now. You
cant see whats in it for you in this one, because its supposed to be by faith. The greatest of all rewards is by faith. (IV:256)

Faith would be to look at the positive, even if it's just Me in you: the hope of glory and knowing that no matter how bad it
looks, it's going to turn out alright in the end. (IV:261)

Immediate circumstances can sometimes be cause for discouragement, but faith trusts in greater results and outcome in
the future. The result may not be there right now, but you still believe and keep believing that it will come.
You will not regret in the long run having put your confidence in Me. (IV:264)

We walk by faith and not by sight means that you allow Me to do the seeing for you, and you dont rely on your own
perception and analysis of the situation.
You trust, no matter how disastrous the view you can make out before you seems to be. You dont allow the things you do
see to scare you or cause your faith to shake and tremble, but you remain firm in your confidence in Me, knowing that
compared to the fact that I am always there to care for you, and the truth of Romans 8:28, the aspects before you are
merely an illusion.
I need you to remain trusting, even in the face of seeming calamities! You cannot allow your faith to crumble at the sight of
adversity.
I have to allow such situations to arise in order to remind you in Whom it really pays to put your trust. (IV:273)

I have to go by your faith and what you're capable of.

You have to realistically go by whatever amount of faith you actually have.
I'm flexible. And I specially adapt to your personal preferences and your level of faith. (IV:274)

If you want to please Me as your Teacher by the way you show what youve learned from Me, then its pretty hard to make
Me happy with the sort of development where not much progress has been made over quite some amount of time in the
area of faith, and it should give you reason for concern and make you seek to make an effort to change in that area. (IV:279)

Not many have enough faith to begin with to invest their time in My Word and the effort of getting what they need from Me
in order to get more faith.
So few have the faith in Me that would make them deem Me worthy of investing some of their precious time in. (IV:286)

296
A lot depends on your faith. If you receive with thanksgiving and in faith, unto the pure all things are pure. It all depends
whether you have the faith for it, or not.
And as soon as it comes to faith, the enemy would naturally like to cheat you out of it, because he knows it will make you
immune to his sort of input. (IV:288)

Keep trusting that I knew what I was doing in ordaining you and calling you to do the specific thing, task, or ministry you
find yourself in! (IV:292)

Faith in Me is your only hope, not your faith in your prospects, or your circumstances.
For we walk by faith and not by sight. - Faith in Me. You cant just go by what you see, by whats in front of you, not even
your needs and your prospects and probabilities of having them met. When it comes to those, youve really got to place
your faith and trust primarily in Me. (IV:296)

It may not all make perfect sense right now, but it will, trust Me!
The people who always insist that everything has got to make perfect sense right now, or else theyll cook up their own
theories, simply dont have any faith, trust and patience.
Make a difference and have faith, trust and patience that everything is going to work out alright and wind up making
perfect sense in the end, even if theres no way on Earth you could possibly see any of that right now, except for those
occasional glimpses I give you. (IV:297)

Is all you ever put your faith, trust and confidence in your own flesh (or someone elses), or do you place all youve got on
something higher, greater, though presently invisible to you?
In other words, are you investing in My invisible, but eternal currency, are you buying that good gold from Me that I have
counseled folks to buy (Rev.3:18), or are you settling for the obvious: that which is right before you, lifes circumstances,
without digging any deeper?
The type of people who always say, Love doesnt put food on the table, or faith doesnt pay your bills, etc., are saying
in essence, The only thing I can trust in to help me survive is my own flesh, my own efforts
Its basically the type of attitude Cain stood for, one thats very widely spread nowadays, as you can tell. Okay, so the
Abels do tend to look a little bit like the losers in comparison, since they often wind up being martyred by their flesh-
oriented brothers, but thats exactly the point where faith makes all the difference in the world: faith that believes that Abel,
in the long run, was much better off than Cain (IV:298)

Relax and trust that I know what Im doing!

Youve got to trust in Me and the Father and Our superiority over the enemy.
We know what Were doing. It may not always seem that way to you, but thats where you really have no other option but
trusting Us anyway.
One of the reasons why the enemy likes to wreak chaos in your life and make it look specially messy and chaotic is so that
you will start losing faith and trust in that fact, that We know what We are doing.
Thats what faith is, as opposed to the have-it-now, see-it-now, consume-it-now kind of paradigm and pattern which is the
devils slogan:
Faith is the ability to say, No thanks, Id rather wait for the real deal to come around. (IV:300)

When it comes to learning lessons for eternity and eternal rewards, that requires faith faith which most people dont
have. Not enough, anyway, to invest the same sort of energy in that they invest in their labors for the temporal rewards.
(IV:311)

There are so many things that dont seem to make much sense to you, and sometimes all you can do is wrap them up in a
bundle of faith, give each to Me, and try to trust Me in spite of them
Trusting is something you do as much in spite of certain things, as you do it because of other factors. (IV:323)

Mistakes in your life teach you the most precious lessons.

And youve made lots of them, and lots of them were made by folks around you, all of which require a lot of faith for you to
still see My hand in them and in the path that Ive been leading you. (IV:326)

The painful times seem to sometimes outnumber the good times, but there is a purpose behind all this. If all your faith will
ever amount to is to trust Me for that, then its already worth it. (IV:334)

Theres a difference between putting Me first in discipleship and trusting Me for your needs, and chasing after the objects
of your affections and simply trying to drag Me along in it
You may have lost something, but only in order to be given something better, trust Me!
Youre beginning to realize just how weak your faith was in your spiritual alliances, compared to how much trust you put in
the flesh and circumstances, all of which turned out to have been only temporal, not lasting, not a steady, constant and
unfailing help in trouble like I am.
Its time you recognize My advantages over any earthly ally you can have! Its time you realize that it pays to trust in Me.
(IV:336)

297
Sometimes the option that requires the most faith can be the one that is My highest will for you, since I like to present you
with challenges, and I like to stretch your faith.
If there are any two words I couldnt emphasize enough during this time of trial, testing and charting unknown territory, its
Trust Me! Youre going to make it alright to the other side, and safely to your destination, just trust Me!
Life may seem one great big chaos, but trust Me nonetheless that Im in full control, and what seems like a mess to you is
a piece of beauty and art to Me, that many hands on this side of the veil are working on and involved in. (IV:347)

Isnt that what faith all about? You cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel yet, but by faith because I have promised
it, and because you have experienced over all these years that I never let you down you know that there is an end to the
tunnel, and somehow its going to be worth it.
Right now, youre still overwhelmed emotionally by the negativity of the situation, and its hard for you to imagine how it
can all turn out to have been worth it, but thats what My Word promises, and thus what faith is all about.
Lets just say that it might take an extra dose of faith to accept that the suffering is justified, appropriate and in order.
Come up with a little bit of trust that I can assess the situation better than you, know better what measures are appropriate
to deal with it, and that I know what you can handle.
It would definitely pay off for you to put your trust in Me, instead of your own arm of the flesh. (IV:348)

Your faith may have taken a blow, and it might take you some time to recover; your feelings of self-worth have been
diminished by the shocking revelation of the flaws in your character that you had previously been unaware of But I want
you to see all these things more as advantages and blessings, rather than curses or setbacks.
I still know what Im doing and allowing in your lives, even if it may be difficult for some of you to believe that (IV:350)

I do test those who claim to trust Me, just to find out how deep their trust really goes, and as you know, sometimes people
tend to slightly overestimate their own abilities and qualities.
Faith seeks to draw a connection between the here and now and the eternal, thus pulling Me into that time frame of the
Present, and whenever that happens, youre beginning to make a difference from all the humdrum of chasing temporary
pleasures and satisfaction.
If you seek Me in that moment called now, it will become the connection between the present and eternity, and instead of
becoming trapped in the Enemys illusion of here and now is all youve got, which makes you feverishly try to get out of
it as much as you can for yourself, you break out of that mind frame and become able to do things for others (IV:354)

According to your faith be it unto you, and not according to someone elses.
Base your faith on the only valid foundation this time: My Word and My personal relationship with you! (IV:367)

Maybe youre just going to have to trust Me that I am going to continue supplying all your needs just as I always have.
Maybe youre just going to have to believe and trust that I am more than enough, and that My Strength is sufficient for you.
Faith, as in, something other than all thats available to you immediately here and now; faith in a promise that may not be
fulfilled instantly, but in My own good time. (IV:369)

All your apparent losses will only turn out to be gains in the end. The life of Job is a wonderful Promise to every believer
along these lines. I never take one thing away from you without giving you something better, even if it's in the afterlife, and
thus, largely by faith.
Sometimes I give you glimpses in this life of what expects you in the life beyond, but it's nevertheless all by faith. Faith is
still the greatest commodity and quality you can have in this life, as far as I'm concerned. That includes not looking at your
losses as such, but seeing them as eventual gains, just because I say it is so and promise you something better in return.
(IV:376)

You get what you have the faith for and what you truly long for and seek in life, if it is Me and My means you avail yourself
of in acquiring them. (IV:384)

I just want you to make sure that you know who and what youre putting your faith in. Good luck wont do it, chance or
coincidence wont do it, but I can.
I am able. Can you trust Me for that? (IV:385)

So you happen to put your cards on faith and the Hereafter. In the face of the fact that nobody can hold on to this life
perpetually, you stand a 50/50 chance that you're doing the right thing. They settle for the visible. No one can blame them.
That's what rational people would do.
On the other hand, you have rational reasons to believe that they just might be mistaken in their assumption that this is all
there is. (IV:396)

When it all comes down to it, you have no other choice but to trust Me for both your life and death.
Some things youve got to do in order for Me to help you, and the first and no.1 requirement is that you have a little faith in
Me. Theres really nothing else you must do as a prerequisite for Me to help you and pull you out of any mess, do any
miracle for you that you need, but you must have a little faith in Me in order for Me to do it.
Im not forcing you to do anything else, but that is an absolute must! You cannot make it without a little bit of faith in Me,
that absolute bare minimum of faith that causes you to refuse to doubt that I mean and intend only whats good for you,
that I love you and am here for you, to help you, see you through and wont let you down.
298
If you cant believe that at all, then I admit, not even I can help you, because I wasnt ever able to do many miracles in some
places because of their unbelief, and thats just the little part that you must do: you must reach out your hand of faith and
flip the switch thats going to turn on My power and light in your life.
Now I can understand that you may be tempted to doubt at times, when the circumstances do look rather bleak, and you
dont know whether youre going to make it by all rational reasoning. But thats why Im telling you: dont lean on your
rational reasoning, but rather put that little bit of faith in Me. Dont invest your energy in looking at the waves, the wind, the
threatening circumstances, the weak and frail condition of your vessel, but choose to invest that last tiny little bit of energy
you have in trusting Me in spite of all of them! Thats the only chance youve got and the only way youre ever going to
make it.
Anybody can die any day! But what other option have you got than to trust Me that I know when is the best time and
moment for you to leave this earth anyway?
And if you die, Ill assure you that youd rather die trusting! (IV:402)

Thats what faith is all about: Its switching your mind gear from a focus on temporal things to one on the eternal.
The eternal reality I already see is that regardless of present physical circumstances, and nothing can stop what I have
willed and promised. Its not My will or intention to let you down.
And remember that even though you may feel forsaken by Me, just as I did feel forsaken by Father on the cross, the reality
was and is a different one: even though you may feel forsaken by Me, its not so. You are not really forsaken. I have never
left you, but will always stick to My Promise, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, especially not in your painful
moments. (IV:410)

Youre still not quite sure whether you can just trust Me and the promise that I never take one thing away from you without
giving you something better.
Some things remain a mystery for a little while in order to teach you to trust
Some things are a test of faith.
A little loneliness is going to strengthen and solidify your character and your faith in Me as your sole Savior and hope
when it all comes down to it.
Youre being loved and upheld by the strongest arms in the universe, so what is there to worry and fret about? Have a little
faith in Me! (IV:414)

I honor and reward those who put their trust in Me, I do not punish them or let them down. I may test them and their faith
temporarily, but I will never let them down or disappoint them, so youre in good hands. (IV:415)

You need to take time and invest it in learning to really put your whole faith and trust and confidence in Me.
This experience is serving to teach you that you must put your trust in Me to a greater extent than you have been. You
must make a greater effort of faith, believe and trust Me more for things and focus on Me more than you have been,
because the measure of trust youve shown and put forth so far was simply not enough. You cant make it like that. You
need to have more trust in Me!
Instead of leaving your mind running on empty, and sort of passively glide through your days, you must make an effort to
build up your confidence by filling your mind with faith-building thoughts and cling to them. Perhaps you need to commit
more to memory of what youve learned from Me about faith and trust.
Its another episode of the kind when things go wrong.
Its those times when your faith gets tested and you find out how strong (or weak) it really is, and how much more you
should have and acquire, accordingly. (IV:418)

Thats the thing about faith: no matter how strong it is, it will only ultimately turn out to be the Real Thing in getting you
where you want to get, if its placed in the truth. Faith in lies, no matter how strong, will always only turn out to be a dead
end street and a disappointment.
Youre simply best off if you keep making efforts to put the bulk of your trust in Me. (IV:421)

I use the sort of experience to show My followers and believers to what (usually shockingly small) extent they really do put
their confidence and trust in Me, and how much they put it in other things instead, unawares.
Thats what youre going to have to trust Me for, as to how important this really is: for you to know exactly who and what
you should put your trust in and who you can rely on. (IV:424)

A positive attitude, believing and trusting that I will only allow that to happen to you which is for your very best, will help
you enjoy life better, and will in itself up the chances that the good things are going to come to pass, since according to
your faith it will be done unto you. (IV:434)

Through the dark times ahead, you wont be able to walk by the sight of rational reasoning anymore, but youre going to be
utterly dependent on that still, small voice of faith deep down inside your heart, the one you should learn to trust and heed
above all others. (IV:435)

Whatever you want, you can get it, if you really want it and really make the effort of faith to get it: exert a believing will
toward that thing you want, visualize it and trust that I love you enough to make it happen for you, even against all the
odds of seemingly adverse or even impossible circumstances.
I will yet prove that it was a good move to trust in Me, and a better one than to put your trust in the System.
299
The wisest move, as far as I'm concerned, is to put your trust wholly in Me.
Am I really Son of a God that it pays to put your trust in? (IV:445)

I want you to walk in an attitude of trust in Me, confident in My Promise that I'm with you and will be there for you. You can
count on Me. (IV:447)

To prove which of the two is a more reliable force: the faith you put in Me, or the faith that people put in their own
strengths and efforts, is not an experiment, in the sense that I wouldnt know the outcome yet, but rather one for you and
all mankind to find out, basically, that what Ive said all along is true (IV:449)

A lot of things Ive said throughout the ages were sometimes a bit hard to swallow for those to whom they were said. But
that was the difference between faith and the vast nothingness that determined the lives of the masses, faith that put them
in the history books as world changers, as opposed to those who never dared to trust and believe, and sank into oblivion.
Heroes of faith may not have a lot of respect and rank in todays society, but trust Me that they will in tomorrows. (IV:452)

I want you to be like that little school boy who was waiting on the edge of his seat for the teacher to come around and offer
him the watch. He only had to open his mouth, and gone it was, in his pocket.
That was appropriating faith. He acted it out, grabbed it, and seized the opportunity. It takes a little bit of boldness to claim
the right to My Promise that maybe others dont have the faith for.
You have put your trust in Me, and thats why I have elevated you above those who have put their trust in mere temporal
things or their own arm of the flesh. I will yet prove to the world that those who made that seemingly foolish choice to put
their whole trust in Me were not so foolish, after all. (IV:455)

Put your trust in Me and continue to fight, refusing to be intimidated, even by the seemingly overwhelming adversities.
Things could go wrong, but if you put your trust in Me and make Me your hope and the main Factor you rely on, they wont.
I want to prove to the world through those like you who trust Me and put their hopes in Me and entrust and dedicate their
lives to Me and follow My path that I am indeed more solid ground for anyone to build their life on than all those supposed
securities man could ever rig up in his own strength and wisdom.
Its all a matter of faith. And so, since faith is so relevant to this path of Mine, is it any wonder that Im putting before you a
path and a reward that it will also require some faith to obtain?
Faith will be a strong fortress and refuge to many in times of trouble which are inevitably bound to come. (IV:456)

According to your faith be it unto you. If you have the faith that I can and want to deliver you out of your situation, I
certainly am able to. But you know that in some places I wasnt able to do much because of folks unbelief, and that is still
true.
A lot depends on peoples faith. I can only really do for you what you have the faith for Me to do for you. Thats why you
have to keep making an effort to believe, put forth that effort of positive expectation, act as if you will receive or had
already received the promise and gift by faith, rejoice and thank Me for it by faith
There is a part you must do, you know? So much depends on you concerning what Im able to do for you. Your faith makes
it happen.
You cant just passively expect Me to do it all for you if you dont even put up the tiniest little effort yourself to show some
faith. Faith is what I honor. I cannot honor doubt and disbelief. Faith happens to be the one requirement that one needs in
order to make My unlimited power to work for them.
It doesnt cost anymore than that, but that is the price. That is why I talk about faith as a currency, and a more stable one
than paper money, because its the price you have to pay in order to avail yourself of all My unlimited wealth, power, riches
goods and services. And if you think about it, its really not that much to ask, is it? (IV:462)

I like to keep you in that place of trust walking by faith, not by sight (IV:466)

Sometimes youve got to have crazy faith to do things in a way that no one else would do them.
You have to assess in your own heart what you have the faith to do, what would require the most courage or might be the
most noble thing to do in the context of all that you have learned from Me in the past. (IV:469)

Have the faith that that time spent with Me is a worthy investment!
Without that faith it is impossible to please Me.
Most folks simply dont have that faith and thus simply spend their time on anything and everything else but with Me.
(IV:470)

You have learned to trust Me for many things in your life, and this is going to have to be one more of them:
When it comes to timing, Im an unequalled Specialist.
Sometimes it may seem to you it runs too fast, and at others it seems to pass dreadfully slow
Perhaps the secret is to take both in absolute perfect trust and faith, yielding to whichever of the two I happen to bring
across your path. Thats the Naked Now and the art of living in the present, experiencing each moment to the full,
instead of focusing on some strongly anticipated event in the future or crying over the spilled milk of the past (IV:479)

I want to show the world through your lives that there is a different way, a real alternative a way of trust in Me instead of
in oneself and ones own abilities only. You can trust in Me and I want you to convey that to the world. (IV:481)
300
Your own experience should be proof enough to you that it makes more sense to trust Me to take care of your problems
than trying to tackle and solve them on your own!
Finding out that the problem is a lack of faith is the first step to getting it right and mending the situation. (IV:485)

What is faith but the belief that things are going to be better? (IV:487)

If youre going to have the faith to serve Me and trust that I am going to continue paying your bills and taking care of you,
then for Gods sake also do trust Me and continue to trust Me, and dont look around fretfully as though now I certainly
must have forsaken you, and so you must frantically look around for ways to support yourself and do for yourself what
you think and fear I am no longer willing or able to do for you.
I am always willing and able to do it for you. Its just that there are so few willing and able to trust and believe Me for it.
(IV:496)

Youll be glad you trusted in the right Source and paid attention to the One Whose opinion does matter in the long run
Can I guarantee that everything is going to turn out alright? In the long run, yes, I can! There may be challenges and trials,
and even some major tests of faith and turbulences, but the end result is going to be good, you can trust Me for that. (IV:497)

For lasting happiness, theres no other currency around quite like faith: faith in My Words that work the wonders and
miracles and magic of creation on every level, great or small; universal, but also individual and personal. (IV:501)

Tests of faith are to show and prove how much all that I have told you has really meant to you, made any difference at all in
your life, and to what extent it has been the basis of your faith that you have built your life on.
So many things have been eroded by the deluge of events that have taken place, and youre wondering about this
fundament of your faith, whether its real or not (IV:505)

Faith in Me, unless regarded as everything youve got, is really nothing at all. In other words, Me being all you have left is
really the way its supposed to be, for thats when you really start believing and really start walking the walk and living the
life of faith. (IV:507)

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego knew their God was capable of delivering from the fiery furnace, but were determined
to keep trusting Him even if He wouldnt. Do you have that kind of faith? You know Im able to deliver you. - But if not? Will
you still keep trusting Me?
Sometimes I have to create a worst case scenario for you to find out whether youll keep trusting Me anyway, or youll
desert Me when the going gets too tough!
Is your faith dependent on circumstances and My benevolence and blessings toward you, or are you also going to keep
believing Me when it seems like Im not blessing you or treating you well for some reason, as happened to Job? (IV:511)

In this life of faith you wont need to know all the details beforehand (IV:515)

Its all by faith, and without it, Im afraid there isnt going to be any way youre going to be able to get a lot of chips and
credits that are going to be of any value according to My criteria and rules of the game. (IV:518)

Keep trusting Me.

Im still there. Youve just got to trust Me for it and believe and have a little faith
Youve got to have a little hope that the future is going to be as bright as My Promises, especially if you dare to trust Me for
it and to take strides of faith, instead of relying on the same old ways and same old means and carnal strengths and
worldly securities.
I honor those who honor Me by trusting in Me.
If you only trust in yourself, what sort of a future do you see in that? A great and promising future comes from putting your
trust in Me and My abilities to live up to My Promise to open doors than no man can shut.
Faith is all about going on nothing more than My Promise and believing Me for it, that its going to work out, even if you
dont know all the details involved yet.
Faith is all about going on nothing more than My Promise and believing Me for it, that its going to work out, even if you
dont know all the details involved yet. (IV:522)

Faith just happens to be one of the major rules of My game, one of its major currencies, values and aces in it, a power that
will get you far! At least a lot further than its counterpart, doubt, will.
Doubt will only get you in the neighborhood of nowhere vaguely and youll not even be sure of that. With doubt, you
can never be sure of anything. Thats the only thing the doubter can be sure of.
Whereas the believer can be sure of many things: that Ill always be around, that I have not forsaken him and never will.
That I will make a way, even where there is no way and he cant see a way. The believer doesnt go by what he sees, but by
what he believes. (IV:523)
So, what are you going to be? A believer, driven by the power of the incentive of the faith in My capability, or a doubter?
(IV:523)

301
Thats what faith is: you choose to believe Me and My Word and Promises over the appearance of things and the
circumstances.
If you believe that theres nothing you cant do by faith and through Me and with My aid and power, then youll know
theres no stopping you. (IV:531)

Youre going to have to trust Me, no matter what; whether they haul you off to jail or the world comes tumbling down about
your ears Im the One Whos going to have to see you through, and your ability to trust Me for that will make all the
difference in the world.
It has come to that: youre just going to have to trust Me, just like youve always had to and always will. Theres no other
way, and no way around it. You can try to rig up all the plans in the world, take any precautionary measures, and still it will
boil down to the same old thing that youre ultimately going to have to trust Me for things to work out.
My name means, Savior, and thats what I was born and destined to be and do: save mankind from evil, from itself and
from each other, and Ill always do a better job at it in the long run than any of you can do for yourselves, and that applies
especially to those who know Me and My Word.
Those who call upon and trust in My name will be saved. (IV:533)

Youre just going to have to trust Me; just basically trust Me by blind faith (IV:537)

You dont know what life brings, but I do, and I can only assure you to keep trusting Me that everythings going to be
alright. (2011:5)

Ultimately, it is you who rule, and I want you to embrace that conviction by faith.
It is through faith that you are saved, and not any puny efforts. So, just let your faith save you.
Youre not doing wrong to trust in Me. Youre doing the greatest right there is! Cursed is the man that maketh flesh his arm,
but blessed is everyone that trusts in Me.
Its time to move up another level in the realm of faith, and thats where Im taking you! (2011:6)

Not going by the looks of it is what faith is all about. For we walk by faith, and not by sight (2.Cor.5:7). From the looks of
things, it all promises to be one disastrous hell of a mess. Only faith tells you that there is a purpose in all of it to be
revealed and that theres going to be the kind of outcome that any peace-loving person and child of God could hope for.
(2011:9)

Whats important is that you move according to My standards of faith and love.
Ive been telling you that faith is the currency that can buy those living in the physical realm stuff from the eternal.
The one quality that defines faith as such is believing in something you cannot see
So, yes, you have that crazy faith of yours, and it causes you to do crazy, nearly unheard-of things. But what is, really, the
alternative? The same old rut of not believing in anything at all other than what you see, and become a slave of the visible,
physical realm accordingly. (2011:10)

You must take on a mindset and stand of faith, knowing that no matter what: Im with you and right behind you, and Im not
going to let you fall. (2011:12)

When you dont have a clue as to who you can trust, thats when you realize that the One it really pays to put your trust in
is Me.
The most important thing is that you keep your trust in Me. (2011:13)

I admit, this chaos that life and this world can be at times is not exactly conducive to the conclusion that theres Someone
behind it all Who knew what He was doing. Lets say, I made it a little perplexing on purpose, otherwise it would hardly
require faith. (2011:19)

I will often ask you to spend your time doing nothing other than wait on Me. Its sort of a test of faith, since you all feel that
you frantically have to make use of your time and do something with it before it slips through your fingers and you didnt
make the most you could have out of the time that was given you.
Taking time to do nothing other than wait on Me shows you have faith that I am greater than time; yes, even more
important than that very thing that seems to govern your world
You believe there is something greater than your world and all that which is greatest in your world, the things that govern
it, like time and money, etc.
I in return honor that faith and will often bless you with the very things you chose to forego for My sake. (2011:26)

I admit, it requires quite some trust at times, that Im not just fooling around, but actually do know what Im doing, but
otherwise, would it be a test of faith? And faith, My love, is one of the primary criteria that its all about, as far as Im
concerned.
Its easy to walk by sight and to trust in whatever you put your trust in when things work out perfectly and smoothly
according to your own plan and personal ideas. Faith comes in when thats not the case anymore, and you decide, Not
my will, but Thine be done, which, in other words means, Not my ideas, but Your ideas are the best and should be the
ones that should come to pass in my life. (2011:35)

302
keep trusting that if I brought you this far, it stands to reason that I still know what I'm doing and that I will also finish what
I started, and I'm not giving you anything unjustly that you wouldn't deserve... (2011:37)

I want you to have the faith that even though you might not be able to make it in the natural, I can make it through you, and
acknowledge that if its going to be done, then because of Me. (2011:39)

I admit, it takes a lot of faith, especially in this day and age, where everything revolves around making money, to believe
that hearing from Me should be more important than working.
you can just trust that Im really the only truly efficient and reliable help you can ever put your trust in, and I can only
encourage you to keep doing that! Keep trusting in Me, and you wont regret it! (2011:49)

This whole life of faith is one big single challenge for you and whoever will live it to go for the invisible!
The visible is there, plain and in your face, yes, and its tempting, and the usual, normal, run-off-the-mill human reaction to
it will be to go after it! But faith will make a difference and contrary to those natural actually, carnal instincts: Go for the
invisible!
You need to trust Me when I say that without you, things will never quite be the same. Each of you has the power to make a
bigger difference than most of you are aware of! (2011:50)

Often your lack of faith in My better future is only due to a lack of faith in what My power could do for you right now, and
your failure to avail yourself of the power via prayer!
If you dont avail yourself of My Power in the present, its no wonder that your faith might shrink in what My Power can do
for the world in the future (2011:52)

Maybe the next chapter and point in My agenda for you is to trust in Me completely for whats to come, which is what you
will eventually have to do anyway.
Eventually youre just going to have to trust Me; theres no way around it. So, why not start now? (2011:58)

Just a little glimpse of Heaven can make it worth it all and remind you that it pays to go on for Me, to keep believing and
trusting in Me, and that any other option would be downright ridiculous and highly regrettable. (2011:63)

A certain level of desperation makes sure that you have the Almightys help with you on the dreaded road. When it comes
down to it, those are the only roads that really count in the life of faith, because what do all those roads on which you can
just rely on your own strength, wit and talents avail in regards to strengthening your faith and dependence on Me? (2011:63)

Would I only want you to look as far as the eye can see? Or is there something beyond the obvious, some greater truth and
reality that perhaps you might not spot at first glance?
After all, wasnt that what faith is all about? Seeing more than the immediately visible?
The voice of faith is the difference between what experience teaches you or at least your carnal mind makes of it - and
that which Im really trying to teach you. The ultimate lesson that goes far beyond the short-term, often premature
conclusion you come to way before you reach the goal and end of the road from which you can see things a lot more
clearly. (2011:64)

Hasnt this been a theme of the life of faith all along and ever since? Hasnt this been part of the big school and tests of
faith from the beginning, that even though the Enemys forces seemed to be stronger and overwhelming, yet the power of
God would win in the end?
It just means youll have to put your faith in that power, and not in the things you can see, nor your own ability to cope with
things, your skills and talents
Your skills and talents are great, but what you need in order to survive the insanity ahead is the power of God!
If they dont believe in you the way you had hoped they might, its just a reflection of My own experience with you! How
much do you really put your trust in Me? (2011:69)

Do you have enough faith to believe that despite the looks of it, this is actually what I know you need?
Focus more fully on putting your trust in Me, which is really only the one sure fire horse you can place your bet on. (2011:70)

Its a sad story when vague hope has replaced what once was stout faith, and it indicates that there was a cut in the
connection and flow of life and light, or at least that flow has been sadly neglected and diminished. (2011:75)

The only real security you can ever have is faith.

How long and how often have I been trying to get you to put your faith in Me as your Rock to lean on, instead of things like
money and worldly securities? And believe Me, its because I happen to know that its simply the best thing to do.
Your faith in Me will be a more valid force and guarantor of your survival than any other thing youve ever known and relied
on. (2011:76)

Everyone that asks will receive. If you believe that, you can go ahead by faith and thank Me for it, even if you havent yet
seen it.
Always be aware of the fact that youve got something to give that not everybody does.

303
It may not be exactly what you would wish for: no opulence, no fat of the land, just the hard core rock of My truth, but if
youve got enough faith, you can make water gush forth from that rock by putting your faith in My Promises and conveying
that faith to the best of your abilities. (2011:77)

It is I Whom it pays to put your faith and trust in. (2011:80)

It takes a lot of faith sometimes to really trust that what I gave you is indeed better than what you had previously.
Great faith keeps assuming that I know better and that your loss is actually going to lead to greater gain. (2011:84)

Take it by faith that I know what you can handle! (2011:85)

What is faith under normal, favorable circumstances? Its simply the usual, average kind of faith anyone can have. Faith
becomes great under those abnormal circumstances under which the Devil comes rubbing in your face questions like,
Now, if God loves you, why would He allow that to happen?
Its not as if youre not holding out in the long run. But usually, at the moment when the crisis hits, youre pretty much
flunking the test and dont behave the way that a warrior of faith should, and thats something we need to work on before
we can let you loose on the world as an example of what Id want a man of faith to be (2011:86)

The flesh wants immediate results and gratification, but thats just not how it works in a life of faith! Youve got to keep
doing some things and sowing some seeds without immediately visible results and continue by faith that its going to pay
off somehow in the long run.
You may not know what youre doing, but I do. I have a plan, and I need you to trust in Me a little bit for it and hang on even
before you see any results, okay? Thats whats called faith, and thats what its all about: faith, hope, love. (2011:87)

Having and showing trust in Me is what its all about, and its one of your most important testimonies. Its the one thing
that makes you different from the vast majority and masses of people who trust and rely only on themselves or what they
can see.
I need you to trust Me, and thats why I continue to prove to you that you can trust Me, despite your tendencies to doubt.
My greatest wish is for you to really be able to see just how much you can trust Me, and for you to stop worrying once and
for all whether I will take care of you or not. So, if you want to honor Me, please Me and make Me happy, do Me the favor,
and show forth some trust in Me. Give Me your trust! (2011:88)

Just trust and know by faith that I dont lead you down the wrong road.
Youve been in a few situations in your life where you figured, Lord, this couldnt possibly be it! But usually you found
yourself rewarded for having trusted Me anyway.
Thats where your trust and yieldedness comes in that I simply happen to know better what is best for you.
My intention is to teach you that trust, and the more you develop it, the more freedom I can then entrust you with. (2011:89)

I have chosen imperfect vessels to pass on the message of My Perfection, and it requires faith on both sides: that of the
giver of the message as well as those on the receiving end. (2011:91)

Im always quite a few steps ahead of you, but of course, whether what I promise you will come true or not also does partly
depend on whether you have the faith to believe it and do what is necessary in order to make it happen. (2011:96)

People have felt before that I was joking around. You know the classic example of Sarah with Isaac, but there have been
many more. Afterwards they realized, though, that there was a hidden sense and purpose in what I was doing, and that the
ridiculous thing, really, had been their unbelief
Some day youll realize that that was really the joke: your unbelief! If you could see Me in everything around you, as I
would have liked to teach you, you would see things differently, through much more positive eyes. Youd see that things
are really not even half as bad as you perceive them sometimes.
Someday youll wish you would have made a little bit of a greater effort to believe. (2011:99)

Its all a matter of believing My Word and acting on that faith, instead of throwing all I ever said to the wind in an endless
pursuit for something that is never going to happen: happiness emerging from the physical world around you. (2011:100)

Its all a matter of where your priorities and your faith lie. If theyre still with the things of this world, then, yes, perhaps
some of you may feel as though you had been left out. But if you continue to believe in what My Word promises, namely
that the best is yet to come regardless of when its going to come, it really shouldnt make any difference.
The Devil has his job is to see if he can get that faith to shake in its foundations, whichever dirty way he might manage.
And the question, of course, has always been, since the beginning of time: Who are you going to listen to and believe?
Him, or Me and what Ive told you? (2011:101)

Youre going to have to trust Me that if anythings going to get accomplished through you it is going to be Me doing it
through you, and not yourself. (2011:104)

304
Blessed are they who take the time and make the effort to study the patterns of My work so that they may learn to
recognize My handwriting, My style and way of doing things in their own lives. It only takes faith in the fact that Im not a
liar, but stick to My Word and that you can count and build on it. (2011:110)

Have a little trust in Me that theres something to laugh about! You may not get it yet, but you will, trust Me! (2011:116)

If I would offer everyone a pot of gold to work with, of course, theyd all come running and flooding into My arms. But since
I have camouflaged the gold as mud that you first have to work with for quite a while before it turns into gold, the general
enthusiasm is a lot more scarce, but it makes those who respond to the call stick out more clearly from among the rest,
because it shows they have extraordinary faith.
Extraordinary faith is a prerequisite for going places for Me, and when it comes down to it, its the only thing that enables
you to make any real sense of this life at all (2011:120)

Its going to get worse, and it will be expedient for you to put your faith in Me in spite of anything your eyes tell you, and
not go by rational conclusions. (2011:121)

Not everybodys a champion at taking it, but its worth the effort to at least try to get there. Taking it shows faith in My
Promise that I wouldnt give you more than you can handle. It means you trust Me that I know what you can handle, and
even if youre tempted to feel like this is too much, you trust that it wont be, just because I allowed it to happen, and you
trust that I knew better than your feelings.
It takes faith to see the moment youre going to look back at all your supposedly insufferable burdens with a laugh and a
smile, knowing that in the end it will all seem little more than a joke
Taking it honors Me by faith, by professing that you believe that I am good, capable, and that Im going to pull you out of
this against the odds.
The aim is to make you stronger, especially your faith; but to a certain extent it also entails your ability to take hardships,
since that ability is connected with your faith. If you can take it, it shows you trust Me. If you trust Me, you can take it! It
goes either way around. So, trust Me you can take it, Amen? (2011:122)

It's the course of faith versus that of rational reasoning - aka "the way of all flesh," and you would do well to heed My voice
and directions and make them your primary input. (2011:125)

Sometimes it may temporarily seem as though what youre giving up is in return for a lesser good, but thats where your
faith in My better judgment to know whats really best comes in.
Your path is a quieter one that draws less attention to you, and you dont really feel like the star you still sometimes wish
you could be. But you know by faith that being a star in My show is something much more valuable, even if the credit
youll get for that is not something youre fully if ever or to any extent at all going to enjoy in this life.
Its a life of faith youre living, and thats how it works. The rewards come later. So, hang on, amen? (2011:126)

Your opponent, the Enemy, is smart enough to concoct devices that threaten to rob you of your freedom, to make Me look
like a liar, incapable of truly saving you and setting you free. But its all up to your faith, whether you choose to believe him
and the dark illusion he paints, or whether you cling to My Promise and assurance that indeed I have set you free.
You, by faith, have already been delivered, youve basically just got to believe it and act on it and refuse to be ensnared
again. (2011:127)

The determination to invest time in something that wont bring instant gratification, like learning things that may only
benefit at some distant point in the future, requires faith. (2011:128)

It pays to keep your eyes on the One Who has overcome death; and isnt that what faith is all about?
It never pays to resign to your fate and let life with all its cruelties just run and trample all over you; to take on a defeatist
and victims role, retreating in self-pity and some mode of minor self-destruction and whining over your plight,
complaining and huffing and puffing about it That couldnt really be described as a victorious attitude of faith. (2011:130)

The answer to the question, How much of a disciple have you really been? that you might be asked at the end of your
road is up to you. (2011:139)

Any situation that would require more faith than another, or would enhance your faith and cause it to grow, is the one Id
naturally prefer.
People measure their success in life by the amount of wealth they acquire; I largely measure your true success by the
amount of faith you acquire.
If money is what seems to solve most problems in this world, faith is what solves all in Mine. The paradigm of faith is a
totally different one than the material matrix nourished by fear that most people live in. (2011:140)

People who place their faith in themselves will get their level of confidence from that, however effective that may turn out
in the long run, but it does the trick temporarily. Whereas if you derive your confidence from another source than yourself,
it stands to reason that you should stay connected to that source, otherwise your confidence will dwindle. In this case, I
am that Source for you, and thats a reason why you should make every effort you can not to get too distracted to stay
connected to Me on a regular, and preferably, permanent basis.
305
You have to guard that faith in My Words with all youve got and hang on to it for dear life. (2011:144)

In the long run you wont be disappointed for trusting Me that I know whats ultimately better for you.
Its the normal human tendency to have your own will strive or at least conflict with Mine.
Giving that notion up requires faith and trust.
Its not always easy to inspire others to have that faith and trust in you. But from your own failure you can learn something
about My dilemma with you. If its hard for you to inspire a child to have enough faith and trust in your wisdom to let go of
the own willful ways, you can imagine that its not always easy for Me, either. (2011:145)

The fact of the matter is that theres a lot more in it for you in the long run if you take on a giving attitude, and one of inner
peace and contentment and trust, that says, I choose to believe that this is not too much to ask of me, even if Im tempted
to feel that way, basically, just because you choose to trust in Me and My Promise that I wouldnt give you more than you
can handle.
So, once again, its an issue of trust at the heart and core of the matter. If you can trust that Im fair, life isnt cheating you
and youre not at the receiving end of some raw deal, regardless of how strongly you may be tempted to think or feel that
way, and instead take on the attitude that its part of what youre here to learn: to be more giving and become more
sacrificial and acquire a nobler character, youll be alright.
What matters is your personal belief. It all depends on your faith, and according to it, it will be done unto you, your
burdens will either be heavy, or light, as I promised. You either believe Me for My Promises, or you dont. (2011:146)

Your faith in the better future that awaits you can determine who you are and will be in this life.
If you cling to that vision by faith of who you will be and what youll be capable of: communicating intimately and
profoundly with those youre close to, and conveying to them in the most efficient manner the things youre learning, then
that vision will help to shape you, become part of you and thus also bring you closer to that goal in this life. (2011:148)

The Devil will seek to foil My plan of Salvation for people in any way he can... And it's part of the life of faith to recognize
and fight him as your Enemy. (2012:1)

I do know better than you what is truly best for you.

Im not denying that it takes a lot of faith at times, just as it took a lot of faith for Me to accept the road to the cross the
Father had chosen for Me. But you never regret in the end having chosen the path of faith and trust in spite of all the dark
and gloomy prospects and outlooks, despite even pain and suffering at times. - The greater the sacrifices, the greater the
rewards.
So, do not count them as losses, but count them as future gains, by faith. (2012:2)

Part of the trick with faith is to see when there is nothing anyone else can see, when things just dont seem to make sense,
but you continue to hang on and find sense and purpose in the seeming void and confusion.
Some things remain inexplicable, and maybe hard to believe. Thats why its called faith, and why its a battle and a serious
effort one must make to preserve that faith.
If youre going to follow through on this path, youre going to have to be willing to appear as the loser temporarily, as did I,
and basically, all My great men and women of faith and true followers.
You wont regret it in the end, having hung on to what you believe, in spite of all those doubts and onslaughts on your
faith. (2012:6)

Many of My gifts to you are initially only in an undeveloped stage, comparable to a tiny seed or sapling, sometimes not
very impressive to behold, and youre tempted to wonder, Is this what I gave up my former treasure for?
Well, if My new gift would always be obviously better and glamorous and shiny, it would be a little too easy, and hardly
require any faith, dont you agree?
Giving up something lesser in order to receive the permanent, and much better, from Me is what the life of faith is all about,
and, of course, the trick is to recognize the better in the seemingly less, while it is still waiting to unfold.
Just keep on believing, keep on trusting, keep looking unto Me, and dont give up. (2012:7)

Can you trust Me that even though this situation is less than what youd call perfect, in the end its going to turn out
exactly what youve had to go through in order to come out as what I want you to be and know you can be?
Seeing how you can take these adverse circumstances is part of the walk and life of faith.
I expect you to make an effort to believe and trust that, in spite of everything you perceive around you that annoys you,
everything is going to be alright.
The ability to find Heaven in your heart anywhere you are, regardless of your surroundings and circumstances, this is what
could be described as true faith the kind of faith that helped the martyrs throughout the ages to make it, to hang on to
Me when all others would have given up.
Not going by the looks of it is what faith is all about. For we walk by faith, and not by sight. From the looks of things, it
all promises to be one disastrous hell of a mess. Only faith tells you that there is a purpose in all of it to be revealed and
that theres going to be the kind of outcome that any peace-loving person and child of God could hope for. (2012:9)

Even if it may require a lot of faith for you right now, things will get better in the important aspects.
Keep trusting in My better judgment as to what is truly unbearable for you.

306
Ask, show faith and believe in order to receive, draw nigh to Me for Me to draw nigh to you, and show mercy on others if
thats what you want from Me (see Gal.6:7).
If your plans dont exactly work out and your dreams dont turn out exactly what youd hoped theyd be, give Me the
benefit of the doubt that I might have something better up My sleeve for you.
It may not be immediately recognizable as better at first, but hey, thats what faith is all about the primary requirement for
any success on this road youre on. (2012:10)

How much more blessed to live a life of true faith in My never-ending love and forgiveness, than one that is framed and
limited by man-made condemnation. (2012:11)

Thats the plan: for you to learn to trust Me and My judgment despite all the evidence and appearances that would
persuade you to doubt...
To see who will put their faith and trust in Me above their own rationale and judgment, contrary to all that would obviously
declare you crazy for doing so.
How much more can you trust in that which is not seen?
Who can do more than the usual giving in to the pressure of the rational reasoning over faith in the unbelievable, the
invisible, incredible?
I admit it requires a lot of faith to make any sense of what's going on down there right now, and it won't happen by
continuing to stare at the evident, but only by seeking Me and catching glimpse from Me of what's behind that curtain.
(2012:13)

One of the greatest lessons hidden in the Big Picture of life is that theres a greater force, a greater entity at work here than
human rationale. And, basically, the ability to recognize that, is what faith is.
Blessed is the man who can by faith embrace the path I have chosen for him and accept the cup I handed him to drink,
contrary to any and all protests of the rational mind professing to know better.
Trust is easy and no challenge under normal circumstances and when things are going according to your criteria of whats
acceptable. It becomes extraordinary only under unusual circumstances that actually require faith: a mind-expanding
lesson as well as a test of your faith that is bound to increase it. (2012:14)

To believe or not to believe is what will determine the outcome of the questions concerning your very existence: its quality,
its purpose, as well as its fruitfulness and preservation. It's the act of believing - faith - that grants you eternal life, thus
prolonging your life in a way that no effort of the flesh never could.
To believe is everything. It literally makes the difference between everything and nothing: a life of heavenly purpose and
enjoying My fullness and blessings, or a mere existence without purpose, in darkness and emptiness, compared to what it
could and should be.
In fact, it makes the difference between time and eternity as far as you're concerned. Without faith all you've got is the here
and now.
The mistake you're making, is that you still tend to base your faith on what you perceive and experience in the material
world, trying to reason whether it would make sense for a just God to allow what you see, when faith absolutely does not
come from this world.
It's your connection with the better, lasting and eternal One, that's where things begin to make sense. If you try to find
sense and reason only in what you see, I admit, it's hard to keep good faith then. (2012:15)

The content of the message youll give them through your words will be far less relevant than the attitude theyll be able to
see in you: the faith and determination to keep believing and trusting no matter what happens. (2012:19)

All is well. What a nice way to tell Me that you trust Me that I will work things out for the best, even if right now you cant
see Me doing it.
Even when you feel tired and exhausted, and what you perceive around you is more misery than wellness
I appreciate that effort of faith and positivity, and I wont let that kind of faith go unrewarded. You will be glad you trusted
Me! (2012:20)

What Im trying to do most of all is consolidate your faith, regardless of circumstances.

Can you keep the faith even when Im leading you up or down a foggy, steep road that isnt pleasant to walk, you dont
know where it leads, and you feel tired and weary and like you need a break from it all? That teaches you persistence.
Now, its one thing to be persistent on a path or with a project that was your own idea. Following someone elses requires
faith.
It takes faith and great yieldedness to follow what you would in your own reasoning consider questionable directions from
a questionable guide or even God.
If I would always and constantly bless you with obvious and plainly visible good and sunny and pleasant times, this
wouldnt require much faith. Its the dark and trying stretches that test and thus strengthen your faith. Remember that if
your faith is gold, the fires will only make it purer. Unfortunately, true faith is never quite revealed as such until the end of
the road. There are a lot of indicators, though. Thats why its important that you put your faith in the right things: not
circumstances or visible things, but in Me.
When you complain a lot it shows that youve been placing your faith in the wrong factors. Thats why, for your faith to be
real, youve got to make sure every step of the way to place it in the real and relevant factors. Thats where your choices
come in. When you complain, you obviously choose to place your faith in the circumstances the wrong factors. When
307
you place your faith in the right factors it becomes evident in a positive, praiseful attitude and spirit, regardless of any
physical factors or circumstances. I guess you can see yourself that youre a long way off from that kind of faith real
faith.
I still have to cultivate faith in you. You may think, But wait a minute! I thought You said that I have faith! Well, the
question is, how much faith do you have now that your circumstances arent as easy, cozy and rosy? Hows your faith
doing now that your road has taken some unexpected downturns as you perceive them that make you wonder about
and doubt the sense of it all?
If regular people those with no faith to put a tag on have to face hard times and difficulties often substantially harder
than yours, dont you think it stands to reason that you should be able to learn to handle yours with My help, which they
dont even know how to avail themselves of?
Thats the difference your faith is supposed to make: Youre supposed to believe in something more and trust that this life
isnt all there is, that everything youre going through here is going to be worth it.
Keep trusting that I know what Im doing and that its all going to work out for your good. Keep trusting!
The beauty of it is that you have the choice not to keep trusting if you insist and find out what that will lead to, which,
hopefully, will bring you back around to make the better choice.
To trust or not to trust, this is the question. (2012:22)

When you complain about your daily events and the situations youre confronted with, it shows that trust isnt there, and
that you would deem your own judgment of whats supposed to be happening to you more accurate than Mine. (2012:28)

It is more relevant for you to find out how or as what I see you than your potentially differing opinion on the matter, trust
Me. Its in everyones best interest to achieve precisely that: increasing your strength making you stronger in spirit and
faith.
Blind faith means, it doesnt take faith when you can clearly see the sense and point in everything youre going through.
What I want to cultivate in you is blind and un-waning trust, even in situations when you cant make any sense of whats
going on, which is a tactic the author of confusion employs with glee. (2012:33)

Keep Me on your mind as much as you can and keep your focus on the importance of preserving your faith and keeping it
strong and growing stronger.
Dont make the outside world your priority and the factor that gets most of the attention, but stay in tune with your inside
world, the realm and scope of your faith, your connection with Me and the Spirit World. (2012:34)

On good days you find it easier to believe that there is something more. When you feel joy or contentment, its obviously
easier for you to trust that theres Someone in charge somewhere who means well.
But its the bad days, really, when you need it most. On bad days it may seem more as if the Enemys in control, and as far
as the worlds concerned, you might say he is. But you must not let him have control over you!
No matter how turbulent and rough this ride on lifes sea becomes, and how violent the winds he conjures up to make you
sway and swerve from your beliefs, youve got to keep trusting that your tiny vessel is safely in My hand and in My care,
and theres nothing he can do, except shake you up a little occasionally in order for your faith to be tested. (2012:44)

The donut seems so small and the hole sooo big

People worry a lot about running out of donut material eventually, and they fear the nothingness will overwhelm them, and
sometimes it may seem that way, but thats why faith is so important believing differently than what things seem like.
Sometimes youre frustrated, The only thing Ive got is my lousy and questionable faith, but I say, dont underestimate it!
It can literally make a universe of a difference! (2012:54)

Everything you have to suffer youre going to be recompensed for, and everything youre going through is going to have
been worth it; trust Me for that.
So, be different and show some faith! (2012:55)

If there was never any visible progress or growth it would become discouraging and youd lose faith in the sense and
purpose of it all, but as you can see, it is there.
As senseless as worldly education can be, Im a Teacher you can trust, and there is always a definite purpose and well
thought-out plan behind My kind of curriculum.
Excitement and inspiration, along with the vision, come purely by faith, one of the fruits of the Spirit.
Its My business to instill in you faith in greater things than the temporal rewards and gratifications of this world.
Another thing you can and should trust Me for: that I wont exert you beyond your capacities, even if at times you might
get tempted to doubt that. (2012:56)

Truth wouldnt be as hard to find and thus, not as rare and precious a treasure if it would be more appealing to the
rational mind, the sensible and reasonable thinkers
The thing is, it requires faith in the first place, before and above reason and rationale, - faith that is ready to put truth above
their own opinions and judgment, which is the real clincher. (2012:58)

Its true that your circumstances in this life are never going to be perfect. Im just saying, trust Me for the fact that these
are the best for you, for now, and dont worry: Changes will come.
Be slower to take matters into your own hands and quicker to trust Me!
308
Commit the situation into My hands and then trust Me for the outcome! (2012:59)

I may prefer when people have the faith to rise above their circumstances and live more independently and more
dependently on Me instead.
Even if you cant see it happen from a rational point of view, at least you should trust that I can make it happen and will,
accordingly.
Why not just continue trusting the way it has always paid off to do?
If things even work out for unbelievers, even though they dont meet the necessary requirements one would expect them
to fulfill, why shouldnt they work out for you, who have put your trust in Me?
You have put your trust in a merciful God, Whos even merciful toward those who ignore Him, so, why should I not care for
you?
So, be of good cheer. Ive got things under control, and no matter what happens, youre best off trusting Me, okay? Ill see
you through. (2012:63)

Youve got to have that long-term vision that only faith affords.
Have faith in that the chaos, as hopeless as it may seem, in My hands will turn out to be a work of beauty and perfection.
Thats faith! You cannot see it? Well then that must be because it takes faith! Have you got any?
Its only without that ingredient that life becomes a misery. Even people who dont believe in Me or a glorious Hereafter
have a certain faith and driving power that spurs them on to do something good with their lives. (2012:65)

Youve got greater and better company than many of them will ever get to enjoy in this life. Youve just got to learn to avail
yourself of it fully and get over the fact that its a relationship enjoyed by faith. (2012:66)

As you have observed, what have they really got? - The here and now, and some of them, a vague shadow of a glimpse of
whats to come. What youve got in comparison may not seem all that much more to you in terms of solid matter, since all
it is, is your faith, and you keep tending to underestimate that, but all I can tell you is, you really shouldnt.
Just because they dont want it and it doesnt look very attractive to them, doesnt diminish the value of that great
treasure.
Unfortunately, you never fully appreciate its value until you reach the point where its all youve got. And just as you can
say about them: What have they really got? you must also realize, what else is it that youve got?
The only question is what youll make out of it and how youll invest your treasure.
They may not be making the most out of their opportunities, but are you? And if you dont, who do you think is the greater
fool? (2012:69)

When theres temptation galore beckoning, gazillions of lies told and sold and a million doubts pulling on your soul,
beckoning to finally come to reason and forsake the sinking ship of faith, then its already an accomplishment when
despite of it all you just refuse to settle for anything less than the truth, even if all youve got of it seems to be bits and
pieces and shreds of it that youre trying to make sense of by putting them together the best you know how (2012:71)

There is something noble in the determination to keep on going no matter what, the determination not to quit, never to give
up, even or especially when you cannot see much of a point in the whole thing, and its all the more an act of faith. (2012:76)

Apply faith that will expect things to happen!

It has come to that: youre just going to have to trust Me once again, and thats all. Can you do that for Me?
Trust Me for the rest, even if thats difficult for you. Youre going to have to get used more and more to that modus
operandi of trusting Me more for things (2012:77)

I always prefer an attitude of faith rather than one of doubt. But we cannot regiment or demand faith in a dictatorial
manner, and I will take you where you and your faith are at.
Just remember, according to your faith be it done unto you, so a lot depends on you and what you have the faith for.
And as your faith grows, generally the quality of your life will also continue to increase. (2012:81)

Wouldnt that precisely be what faith is: To see the pure, the clean and sanctified in and beyond all that seems to prove to
be the opposite? (2012:85)

Its always in My interest to get you to shift your faith from your own strength and capacities, your arm of the flesh and
what you can do, to the stuff I can do and want to do for you, if youll give Me a chance, and youre not too busy trying to
rig it all up by yourself (2012:86)

It requires more faith and humility to live a life of reliance on Me and My provision by means of the help of others. But
doesnt it stand to reason that that faith and humility will make you a better man?
Its good to want to be responsible and care for your own, but wouldnt it even be better to place your loved ones in the
care of much more potent hands than your own? Isnt a life of faith the best you could offer anyone as a heritage and
legacy?
Its going to be the final test of whether your faith is worth putting all your trust in. (2012:87)

309
This is the most important thing you need: to strengthen your faith, which is going to make a difference in your future
usefulness.
So, whats the worst that can happen to you? Starve to death because you dared to trust in Me? Doesnt look to Me as if
youre starving yet.
Maybe thats a theme for you to hold on to and remember: Die trusting As opposed to living a life void of any sort of
faith and trust in anything worthwhile
Sort of like the faith Peter showed when he said, Where else shall we go?...
He went down trusting. Cant you see how honored I am by such trust, how theres practically nothing you could ever
accomplish in this life and world thats greater and more noble than that?
How easy it is to trust in an obvious winner! Why do you think I keep choosing the roles of the seeming loser of the day?
Thats what makes the game really interesting!
Who can see what no one else sees? Thats the question here! Who can believe what no one else believes? (2012:98)

I never promised excess, only enough for you to live on, which youll simply have to trust, Ill always supply.
Of course, when your faith isnt all that strong, youd wish for some kind of assurance and evidence you can rely on and
that you can see and count, so that youll know, Yes, well make it through this stretch, or that one
But thats not exactly how faith works, and if you want to convey to people more about the ways and mysteries of faith,
youre going to have to show forth a reasonable amount of it yourself, first.
You need to have faith in peoples hunger and thirst for Me. It may not be obvious, but youve got to believe that its there
in them somewhere. (2012:101)

It all remains to be by faith, and youve got to believe it, in order to make things happen on those grounds So, without
faith it remains impossible to please God, because in order to have any kind of relationship going with Him, you must
believe that He is real and a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Heb.11:6).
As long as you keep believing and diligently seeking Him through Me, youll be fine. - Because He will be found by those
who do. You draw nigh to Him, Hell draw nigh to you, regardless of your messes and failures. (2012:102)

Get ahold of My wavelength of faith every day, and make an effort to stay there!
Rationalism has its time, place and purpose, but it can never replace faith and trust; it cant hold a candle to them. There
is a time and place for caution, but once youve got My Go ahead on a certain issue, its time to trust. You dont have to
worry so much! (2012:104)

Many things in life are by faith

Keep that faith and vision that My Promises are true.
Keep that faith in a better future, a better outcome of all than what you see right now. (2012:111)

Its so important you keep embracing that belief and faith in My love for you, especially in the face of adverse
circumstances. Of course, its easy to believe when everythings flowing as smoothly as butter in a pan
Unfortunately, the Devil takes his job of testing your faith very seriously. Hes very meticulous about it. Well, Im saying,
unfortunately for your own temporary states sake, not in the long run, because as odd as it may seem to you, The
trying of your faith is more precious than gold. And your faith in what, if not My love for you?
Trust Me here that what youre going through and taking away from this is going to be more valuable in the long run than
any amount of earthly wealth you might have accumulated and hoarded for yourself only to have to leave it all behind at
the end of the road again, anyway. (2012:112)

Dont neglect the main factor and ingredient in your plans, which is to trust Me in general for the outcome.
I approve of a healthy balance between both, your doing what you can, doing all the possible planning, but then trusting
Me for the part beyond your control.
Some things are hard to fathom before you reach the end of the road where everything finally makes sense, and until then
its all by faith; but what else can I tell you than, keep on believing!? (2012:114)

Why not worry a little less and trust a little more? (2012:117)

The plan: to give the true, lasting and final power to those who refused to be as short-sighted to only go by momentary
appearance and chose the more challenging path of faith instead - Faith to believe against the odds. (2012:120)

Make sure for yourself that Ive got what it takes to see you through. In fact, I welcome it, since I know its only bound to
strengthen your faith in Me more.
It remains a fight through the haze and the fog by faith! (2012:121)

People usually get what they have the faith for.

Trust Me a bit more that I know what you truly need, even better than you know yourself, and that Ill give you exactly what
you and I know you can handle, and accordingly have the faith for!
If you trust Me with your life I will honor that faith and wont let you down, regardless of the Enemys countless attempts to
make it seem that way.
Im beckoning you to do things more My way, in the way of trusting Me more for your sustenance, back in the way and life
of faith, closer to Me, stronger dependence on Me, more than on your own arm.
310
If you dare to reach out by faith with a positive, optimistic and confident, trusting attitude, youll find out that I continue to
uphold you, I wont let you down, and consequently, I know youll much more share your faith with others.
Im well capable of carrying the weight and load of anyone who puts their trust in Me. (2012:123)

How do you expect Me to work miracles in your favor with a doubting attitude?
You have the choice to perish along with all the rest of the murmurers and doubters, or to become of the exceptional kind
like Joshua and Caleb, who refused to give up, refused to doubt, and kept on believing until the very end.
So I like to do things in what youd consider unusual ways. But if everything would always work out in such an obviously
logical way to pursue, the way everyone would expect they do, then where does faith come in?
If you can just keep relying on your rational mind, with everything working out according to your finite little calculations,
where is there room, much less a need for Me with My unorthodox ways that require faith, not rationalism? (2012:127)

It all depends on faith: How much do you believe and trust My Promises? And where do you get that faith from? From
hearing My Word! So keep listening!
Your times with Me are there to strengthen your faith in Me and My Promises, which will strengthen and improve your
attitude and stamina you will need in order to successfully and victoriously persist. (2012:129)

As long as you walk by faith, it doesnt even matter so much where youre going; or at least you shouldnt be too
concerned about whether the place youre going might be the wrong one. The place and your destination arent nearly as
crucial as your attitude; your faith.
If you believe that Im with you, I will be with you, and youll be a witness and testimony for Me anywhere youll go. Youll
also know that there is no such thing as coincidence, and when a door opens before you, that the chances are much more
likely that Im behind it than that it might turn out to have been bad luck or a bad choice
In other words, dont walk in doubt and with small, hesitant steps, but stride confidently, just grounded in the fact that you
have My support. Just remember, Im with you; and thats reason enough to walk confidently. (2012:134)

A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:8)

Thats why Im constantly emphasizing the importance of faith in your life. Doubt can ruin everything.
Its a dark area in life that hinders you from functioning properly for Me. (2012:137)

The one thing that makes a lasting difference and determines whether your life will be flooded with darkness or light is
whether you were able to hold on to your faith or not. Did you deem it important enough to fight for and hang on to at any
cost, or did you deem other things more important, and allow it to go down the drain? (2012:140)

Luxury yachts and ocean cruisers seem to be so much more comfortable and pleasant than your ride in this little boat
youre struggling to master the sea of life in, but thats where you must trust Me that this sea is only a filthy, salty puddle
compared to whats awaiting you, just for choosing Me as your Captain.
Yours is a hard life compared to theirs, but those hard lives have a reward in store for them, one which those choose to
forgo who have all the rewards in the here and now. (2012:149)

It takes real faith to trust that I actually know better whats good for you than you do, and that what I want you to do is the
better choice than what you want, but if you can believe that, and act on it, then youre on your way to true freedom and
liberation from yourself, your sins, and all the weights that would drag you down. (2012:151)

Many prefer the path the rational mind suggests, over the path of blind faith and trust.
They figure, well, a loving God like we perceive Him wouldnt demand such outrageous levels of blind faith and trust. And
thats where youre faring well to listen to Me instead of them. (2012:152)

Your faith is based on resurrection from the dead. And thats one thing about God: He can raise life out of the blue from
just about anything, even stone cold dead matter, if He wants to.
All that matters is your faith in that power and that you remain available and faithful for when it happens. Dont stop
believing, not even when it seems as if the ones you put your faith in are dead.
That shows that youve really got faith, not in any people, but in the One it counts to put your faith in the One Who makes
it all happen to begin with, regardless of circumstances. Thats the kind of faith youll want to promote.
When it comes to God working for you, faith is all you need. (2012:159)

Few people have the patience and trust to pause their feverish activities long enough to truly get ahold of Me. (2012:163)

You cant really appreciate the lesson, nor do you fully understand it, until its over; so what else can I tell you than what
Ive told you before, to bear with Me for a little while, have a little trust and faith that Ill see you through this one, too, just
as I have seen you through all the others?
Faith takes the humility to believe and trust that I can see more than you do and that I know more than you do, and thats
why things are taking the course they are, and not the one that you or anyone else may think they should be taking, or
would, if they were in charge. Trust that the Guy in charge knows what Hes doing, even if you dont. (2012:168)

Youve got to go according to your own faith, and if you dont have the faith for it, nobody else can force you. Whatsoever
is not of faith is sin.
311
Of course, if you would have been convinced that it would have been My highest will for you, you could have prayed for Me
to give you that faith you needed to do it. (2012:170)

Will you keep trusting, keep believing, keep praising Me? (2012:171)

Your faith in Me and your availing yourself of My help to rise above are so important: Theyre basically your only hope.
The problem with a lot of folks is that faith in Me or believing in God to them amounts to merely acknowledging Our
existence, which isnt enough, as the epistle of James points out, since the demons do that, too, and tremble
Youve got to apply your faith more than merely to the extent of a vague acknowledgment of My existence and that Im
around somewhere. In order to make progress in life, which would mean the opposite of falling victim to all the devices the
Enemys forces are aiming and firing at you, youve got to be much more proactive in your faith: Apply it in order to find
out what youre encountering everyday and discover your purpose in this, and then find the means through availing
yourself of My powers to accomplish that purpose.
As long as youre infected with any strand of the kind of wishful thinking which always makes you wind up not quite sure
what on earth to believe, youre not ready to fulfill your purpose. (2012:172)

No matter what the devil may come up with, it will always be overshadowed by what I can and will do. It just takes faith to
believe that, while I allow him to wield all that power on earth temporarily. (2012:174)

Theres a reward in it when you refuse to give up and surrender to the devil. Of course, its not necessarily an earthly,
tangible and visible one, and thus its by faith; and so you might say that people who commit suicide lack the faith in the
reward for holding on in their fight against evil, or they dont consider it worth the price and pain.
In other words, they despise it; and thus dont really want it, and thats the difference between them and those that do hold
on until the end. Its not the same as the ambition for an earthly reward or rank, again, its something nobler, because its
purely by faith, not anything to guarantee you any title or recognition in this world. (2012:175)

Putting your trust fully and wholly in Me is a blessing that often comes from the experience of lacking the financial means
to put your trust and confidence in. When theres nothing beneath you to hold you but I, then you truly know that I am
there. (2012:178)

Anyone can walk by faith if the road is sprinkled with golden fruits on either side. Its the plodding on when it makes no
apparent sense that really takes faith!
You dont always know where your Promised Land is when you embark on your journey towards it; but thats the
wonderful thing about faith, particularly in Me: Ill always make sure youll find it and get there. (2012:180)

If someones faith can be destroyed by other peoples behavior, then it wasnt based on the right foundation in the first
place. Youve seen plenty of poor behavior displayed by fellow-believers, but chose to put your faith straight in Me and My
Word instead, and thats the only foundation that will withstand the fiery trials and tests, floods and storms of this life. All
other ground is sinking sand
Now wheres that faith that used to deem those glories to come incomparable to those trials and sufferings? (2013:2)

The need and vacuum have to be there first, that instigate you and prompt you to reach out the hand of faith to flip that
switch that cranks up My heavenly machinery of your behalf. Learning to make My Power work for you is in the truest
sense what the life of faith is all about.
you will not go unrewarded for putting your trust in that howbeit invisible Source, requiring a lot more faith than worldly
alternatives, which may be accessible at times, but not necessarily always, as millions of people around the globe
experience daily, who have nothing and no one to turn to, to help them out, which should make you appreciate My
Presence and help in your life all the more.
Fools are those who consider the invisible source of everything to be nothing, and accordingly expect nothing from it. It all
comes back down to faiththe greatest riches and everlasting treasures this world could ever hold.
(2013:9)

My believers have doubted My wisdom and My Word all throughout the ages, and you might say Im getting used to it.
Nonetheless, eventually they all begin to see that I knew what I was doing, after all.
Whats really nice for Me to watch is how their faith develops after a while, in a direction where they dont doubt My
wisdom about a certain situation, but rather say, Wait and see! The Lord has turned out to be right on in so many previous
situations that didnt make sense to us, lets see what Hes up to this time! (2013:13)

Put more of your trust in Me for making your dreams happen!

Im the only One that can. (2013:15)

It may take a while sometimes for things to actually turn out the way I say they will, but when they do, it gives you that
affirmation that you put your money on the right horse and trusted the right guy, after all, even after everything having
seemed to be the opposite for a while.
Now, thats pretty much exactly how faith works most of the time, since it would be too easy if My answers or Promises
and their fulfillment would always be plainly visible from scratch. That wouldnt require faith at all. Thats why I say,
Blessed are they who, not seeing, yet believe. (2013:17)
312
Who do you have greater faith in Me or yourself and your own efforts?
What is hard is the shifting of your trust from money, that stuff you can see and feel and hold in your hands, that will buy
you things, and that feeling of security, to Me, the unseen, unsure Source of everything perceived only by faith. But thats
precisely what I want you to do. Sooner or later, youre going to have to put your trust in Me, because there are situations
no amount of money in the world can save you out of.
Whats good for you are the situations in which youre forced to utterly put your trust in Me! (2013:22)

All you can really do is trust that I know what Im doing as your Master and Teacher, even if you dont fully understand
exactly what the point of the lesson is supposed to be right now, or what purpose its supposed to have.
Having become a mortal flesh and blood human Myself has enabled Me to teach folks a lot about the qualities of being
human. I know, its a state you somewhat despise all those imperfections, flaws and quirks you have to put up with. But
youve got to trust Me that I simply happen to know that this is the best way possible to make something better out of
you the best you can be. (2013:24)

The just shall live by faith, as opposed to sight. Faith to them is everything, they live by it, directly opposed to the way
the vast majority of society lives, being driven and motivated by all things seen.
In My Word Ive made it clearly the braver lifestyle of faith, trusting Me for your needs and those of your family, and
pursuing the interests of My Kingdom, primarily.
It takes greater faith, naturally, to see things the way I see them, but didnt we say that thats precisely what its all about?
The just shall live by faith, - faith enough to see greater value and hidden glory in a seemingly insignificant ministry.
By faith it is promising. Promising the reward of the just who live by faith to believe that I can make something out of
seemingly nothing. (2013:26)

If I lead you someplace, you can be assured that Im with you as Ive always been, and you can trust that I wont let you
down.
Im usually more a promoter and advocate of the path that requires greater faith and courage than the beaten, secure
path the vast majority chooses to walk.
Having large sums of money and putting your trust and confidence in that, certainly doesnt make you special, different or
outstanding, according to the criteria of My Book. Having faith to launch out on little or nothing now, thats a different
story!
Trust in Me, now thats a strength I can use, and can only encourage you to take any step in the direction that would cause
you to exercise that strength more, even if it means weakening your trust and confidence in other factors My
competitors, so to speak.
So, what else can I say? Have faith! My message has always been, Have faith! rather than, Have money! (2013:27)

Keep your faith power on and keep believing, instead of starting to doubt the sense and point of it all as soon as things
start not making sense to you anymore.
Why would you crawl through life with a negative attitude, when you could soar through it on the wings of faith by looking
unto Me, keeping your focus on Me and thus ensuring a lot more positive attitude to help you make it through your days?
(2013:28)

Nothing means more to Me than your trust in Me.

If you never expect Me to use you, thats not much of giving Me a chance, not much of a believing attitude.
Against the odds I rose from the dead, and since then, pretty much what every man or woman of faith ever accomplished,
it was against the odds. (2013:32)

Faith is the secret to grasping any of the lessons of the School of Life.
Its all by faith for now, and your faith should be what you must cling to most of all, even if it doesnt have that obvious
value that other things may offer, like money, which people are much more ready to put their faith and trust in
To feel full and filled within the apparent emptiness that surrounds you when youre lacking, thats the great trick of faith,
faith in the kind of things that make life truly worth living. (2013:39)

Youre going to have to trust Me. (2013:43)

The true challenge for you is to keep your faith even in adverse situations, to keep trusting that theres still going to be a
way to make something good out of it, that Im still in control.
Youve got to keep trusting and keep a positive attitude no matter what happens. (2013:44)

Even if you cant clearly see what on earth the purpose for your sticking around there may be, trust Me that I can see what
you dont.
Youve got to keep making that believing effort. Without a believing attitude its pretty hard to make uphill progress.
Its faith that pulls down My Spirit and Power for you to keep making forward movement, just like fuel or energy for your
vehicles, and by keeping your focus on the downside of things, youre never going to get tanked up. (2013:47)

You really want to put your trust in people? Youre a whole lot better off putting your trust in Me! If you put your trust in Me,
you wont be disappointed. (2013:51)
313
Try to view your own life through the eyes of faith, seeing what I see, instead of judging by the poor materialistic standards
of the world.
Have faith that My new System, or Kingdom is on its way, and things are going to look mighty different then. (2013:52)

It all boils back down to faith; especially when placed in situations that seem unreasonable to you. Of course, its easy to
trust Me when everything makes sense. But what if it doesnt? Can you still trust Me then?
Your talents and skills are all just about insignificant compared to your faith and its necessity and role in My plan. All the
skills and talents in the world wont do Me much good if you cant trust Me that I know what Im doing. (2013:54)

When you can face the entire scope of reality and can still focus on the larger, positive and good portion of it, then youre
learning to overcome and walk by faith. See, walking by faith is supposed to be positive, a cheerful walk, otherwise it
wouldnt really do much good. (2013:57)

The mindset of faith isnt the one that comes naturally to the carnal mind.
You have to reach out that hand of faith and receive from Me the portion of My Spirit necessary to make it through your
days victoriously, cheerfully, joyfully and gratefully, trusting that My Power in you is greater than any adverse
circumstances you may encounter.
Keep on learning, keep on believing, keep drawing closer to Me, and keep on trusting that Im greater than any and all of
your circumstances! (2013:58)

Give Me the full amount of time and devotion it would take for us to enjoy a blooming and blossoming relationship, one
that results in fruit that remains!
What it takes is faith that I can give you things youre not going to get anywhere else. Satisfaction that cannot be found
anywhere else, and happiness greater than anything the world has to offer. (2013:59)

The only One Who wont disappoint you am I, and thats what experience will continue to teach you, establishing your faith
in the fact that in Me you can trust and rely on. (2013:62)

Its a tough choice to make, and its pretty much one youve got to make anew every day: whether you will put your faith
and affections in the things around you that you can see, or in things from above, My Realm.
But if, as you can observe, everything in this visible realm tends to deteriorate, decay, diminish and rot in the long run,
isnt it the wiser choice to put your faith in something that goes beyond all that? (2013:69)

To have faith and hope for others is always better than not to. After all, isnt this what The Kingdom, and thus, your
purpose here are all about? Reaching people for Me? How can you if youve got no faith or hope for them?
But if you believe that all things are possible, and that I can even raise the dead back to life, if necessary, it becomes a little
easier for you to see and believe in your purpose here, instead of continuously doubting it
It takes faith to believe in people! Its relatively easy to believe in a perfect God. - But to believe in such imperfect people?
Or to believe that even a perfect God knew what He was doing when He created them? And to believe that He was in His
right mind when He was telling you that its your lifes purpose to reach them and tell them about Him?
You see, a little faith in people, or at least in what I can do with even the seemingly most hopeless cases of people, can
prevent a lot of troubles and ills, and consequently do a lot of good instead Never quit believing in My purpose for you.
Never doubt that I can and will use you, regardless of the hopeless prospects of any situation.
I can make it happen. If you believe Me for it! (2013:75)

I see the potential beyond and below all that on the surface, and I still believe in you. So, can you extend that same kind of
faith a little bit onto those surrounding you, and if not them, at least in Me and My knowing what Im doing or allowing and
bringing about, and My guidance and direction in your life?
If Im leading you up a seeming dead end street, then maybe its because somethings there to be found at the end of that
road, and so far, youve always found some way to go on from there, even when it seemed like there was no way.
Remember that even if there is no way that you can see, I can make a way where there is no way. Maybe there isnt
anything there that you can see right now that would offer any kind of hope for a way out, for a way up, for a way to make
things better and for improvement. But maybe I will yet make it, Amen? Remember that Im the Maker, and I can do it and
make it for you, and through and with Me you can also make it, so hang on, hold out and keep going! (2013:78)

The one thing youve got is My words, and the faith in the difference they can make; the faith in their Promises, that there
will be something better. (2013:81)

Even if you can only see hope vaguely by pure faith, thats what its all about: not giving up the faith, no matter how dim
the outlook.
If you keep going, you will find the light at the end of the tunnel. (2013:84)

Ive had to replace visible, tangible and audible with by faith, even if its considerably harder in some ways.
What youve gained out of it, your life and experiences, is this faith a seemingly little strength, but in My eyes its greater
than any earthly, tangible security.

314
Its all the difference in the world! In fact, its the victory that has overcome this world, so keep pouring your life, your
energies, your hopes and everything into your faith, Amen? Its what you need, and its all youve got. Love is all you need
in one aspect, to give you the true purpose for life. But when it comes to managing the actual living of that purpose, all you
need is faith, and faith is all you need! So, dont keep minimizing and underestimating it and its importance. (2013:85)

Thats where I want to get you: A level of faith that will be visible in you no explanation required. Theyll know youre a
man of God, because youre taking Me absolutely seriously, no wavering or doubts left in your mind! (2013:87)

A lot of things in life are tests for you to show whether youll yield to the notion that since theres so much wrong with this
world, there obviously must be something wrong with its Creator. He keeps doing all these seemingly crazy things, asking
you to do even seemingly more crazy things, and the rational mind would quickly come to the conclusion that there must
be something haywire with Me, if it werent for that tiny little factor the rationalists cant figure out and thus detest so
much: faith.
It may seem relatively insignificant to you; you cant even quite figure it out yourself, what exactly it is, or what its
supposed to be good for, but I cant emphasize its importance for you enough.
And, as you can tell right now, if you hang on to it long enough, refusing to give it up or let it fall by the wayside, you will
see some reward, and some fulfillment of what you long for and desire, even the resurrection of some formerly
surrendered Isaac.
The trying of your faith is much more precious than gold to Me, so its there for a reason. Its the kind of thing Im after, the
way you guys try to acquire money much of the time. Your faith and the proving of its quality is My wealth. And if you
consent to My pursuing My interests in your life, you will also reap the benefits.
believing and trusting that the Almighty knows what Hes doing despite all the bizarre odds and seeming evidence against
it has its rewards. Its the single most valuable thing anyone could pursue, and youre not a fool to allow this to happen in
your life, to have your life take this path, even if you cant give any of the millions or billions around you any reasonable
justification for what on earth youre doing.
Theyre not in the faith business. They have no idea what were talking about. All they care about is what they can grab
here and now, as if it would last forever
Youll be glad you trusted Me and put your bet on Me. (2013:88)

Youve got to put your faith to work, if you want results from it. You know? How believe originally actually stands for the
action of drinking in and receiving from Me? So, youve got to keep that receiving muscle in action, via prayer, and
whatever other means youve got to stay in touch with Me and keep receiving from Me whatever youve got the faith for,
whatever weapon youve learned how to use
Its definitely got to be more than just accepting or acknowledging I am there, if you really want the full benefits of faith.
Youve got to use it, not just lethargically and passively have it, and then complain because nothings happening that
youd consider good.
Just as youve got to do certain things and keep your part of the bargain in exchange for money, youve also got to follow
the rules of faith, putting it into action and to good use. (2013:89)

In general, if youd live more for your faith, instead of just living for livings sake and trying to make a living, youd be
surprised by the benefits. The more you put your faith into action, meaning, you apply it, and you live for and by your faith,
instead of just the same old rigmarole everyone else keeps up, of making a living and struggling to merely keep existing,
the more results youll see outside the realm of the ordinary, because thats basically what the life of faith is: You base
your existence on something else than the ordinary, everydays and every mans struggle to survive, and accordingly
youll see extraordinary results. Miracles of the kind you used to witness a lot more frequently when your faith was
younger and fresh, and before you had settled into a normal life, trying to fit in and make it in their game.
So, why not drop out of their game altogether and return back into Mine, the Game of Love and Faith, where not the one
who can rake in the most dough is the winner, but the one who gives the most, and dares to believe most?
What it takes to please Me is faith, and that entails putting your faith into action, a faith that is actually lived and literally
visibly and tangibly perceivable by your actions, what you do.
Put your faith more into action, and check out the results! (2013:90)

Faith is precisely all about not putting your money on top of the immediate, the here and now, but something better, even if
that means its still to come, and youre just going to have to come up with some patience and wait for it.
And without that factor its impossible to please Me. Its basically the only thing I require: to believe and trust and love Me
enough to take My Word instead of his and give Me the benefit of the doubt that despite any and all appearances, Im not a
liar, even if the devil is trying his darndest to make it look that way (2013:93)

The act of drinking in My living Word will give you the faith to do the supernatural, the humanly impossible. (2013:97)

There are a rare few who can both: face the gross extent to which evil has manifested in todays world and still believe that
I am yet superior. It takes real faith to make any sense of it. Basically you could say, you can only make sense of it by faith,
which is why I need you to have your faith strengthened daily; otherwise things are going to stop making sense to you
again. (2013:100)

315
The factor of faith: to believe that I simply have learned better; similar to the way you know more things than your small
children. And at the same time you learn to believe that in spite of all your flaws, I love you with an infinite, unconditional
love, a pool from which you shed as much as you can on those around you. (2013:105)

Faith is such an important factor not only in our relationship, but just about any: How are you going to trust someone
without having faith in them? If you suspect ulterior motives behind what they do, or that they dont really love you, how is
that conducive to a pleasant, enjoyable relationship?
Sometimes youve just got to take it by faith that youre being loved, and that the hard knocks are just a part of that, to
make you better, not bitter.
Without faith its impossible to please Him is almost better translated as, Without faith its impossible to have a pleasing
(or pleasant) relationship with Him.
How are you going to enjoy a relationship without trusting the other for what they do? - Even if its something that strikes
you as bizarrely new and abstract?
Its faith that makes you trust and believe that eventually the good times will also come up again, and isnt that what
eternal life means? There are good times up ahead! So dont worry too much about the bad times! (2013:109)

Thats the whole trick of faith: keeping your eyes on the light, no matter how gross the darkness. (2013:112)

Are you putting your faith in the evident, whats right before your nose, tangible and graspable, or in the unseen, that
which requires actual and real faith? (2013:115)

Youre disappointed by the way many of your efforts seems to be wasted on folks who dont appreciate them, like casting
pearls before swine; but thats where faith comes in handy to believe that your efforts will always be appreciated Up Here.
(2013:117)

Faith also includes trusting Me for My decisions in deeming what things youre better off without, even if that means
having to get over a loss. (2013:124)

Many things in this life wont make sense to you from scratch. Some may never in this lifetime. What I desire is folks who
can trust Me for it even when they dont.
Faith is not having all things figured out all by yourself. Its trusting Me for the ones you cant figure out.
Sometimes you may feel like I just cant, but real faith is taking the assumption that if Ive put you in there, standing on
the Promise that I never give you more than you can handle, it must mean that Im saying, Yes, you can!
So, is there no way out? Sure there is. Ill always make one for you if it should truly get too much to bear. But faith is
believing and trusting that if so far I didnt, it isnt. (2013:125)

Why not think a little more about the future that awaits you in a World where all that bleakness will be permanently
removed?
Sometimes youre tempted to think that perhaps all of that is just wishful thinking; but hey, youve come this far by faith,
so why deny yourself the best and most rewarding part of it? (2013:127)

Pretty much everyone needs to be put to and through tests of faith in their lives Some give it up, and it depends on how
strong yours is, and that depends on how much feeding and emphasis you put into it, most of the time. If having your own
fun is more important to you and you neglect your sheep and young ones, you cant blame Me for allowing things to
happen to correct you that may also test your faith (2014:3)

Is it really such an advantage to be living and staying in the materialistically richer areas? Is materialism something
blessed? Or is faith what really ought to be used more?
What do you think I can bless more? An existence in a wealthier country with a smaller population, and where folks mainly
seem to trust in the state and physical powers, or one where there are more people, and largely things (like existence) can
be managed with less money? (2014:6)

Im just trying to get you to trust in Me more, which in the future ahead is better than to trust in yourself and own strength
or wisdom
Flesh or Spirit, that is the question Putting your faith and trust in the flesh cant be the right answer or path (2014:7)

Its a lack of faith to just focus on what the flesh has to offer. Its shortened and eventually extinguished by time; and only
looking at the Spirit by faith can keep you on My way of Eternity. (2014:8)

How about learning to put more of your trust in Me?

Giving is definitely better than constantly being concerned about receiving material things from others. Trust Me
concerning that! (2014:10)

Faith believes in other, further and additional things in the hereafter, not just keeping this current life as the one and only
(2014:14)

I try to keep you trusting in Me more than the System.

316
I want you to re-establish and strengthen your trust in Me.
I was born on earth to establish faith in life hereafter
If your faith hasnt remained the same and as strong, trust Me that its worth more than anything your present world tends
people to put their faith and confidence in.
Can you believe and trust in Me more than in what the temporal world has to offer? Remember that as the main task of life!
Trust more in whats eternal than timely and temporal! If you want Me and what I offer to true believers, put your faith and
trust back in what Ive told and taught people and continue to do to those who have Me in their lives and establish faith in
My Word, rather than what the world and most of its systems teach.
If your faith in the world and your ability to communicate with its systems isnt as strong, trust that what youre putting
your faith in and Im establishing for you as strength of faith and truly life-giving in a greater sense is worth it
There is something bigger and greater to put your faith in and receive strength from its the truth that I have established,
and My strength I am available to give to anyone who asks for it.
Some of the things you go through may seem more weakening, but thats another reason to put more of your faith and
effort into receiving My strength the eternal one, rather than the temporal ones.
Im making your faith in Me turn out to be the greatest help anyone could ever have, and Im getting you to invest more
time in it in order to help out more and turn out for you the most important substance to invest a good part of the time of
life in. While there are so many living without this kind of, or any faith in Me and/or the Father.
You may not know exactly yet what will work out for you, or whether anything will; but
The more you trust Me, the more will. (2014:15)

You should trust more in Me than in the System! (2014:16)

Sometimes youve got to trust Me, even if things might not seem that great for you. Trust Me that Im not letting you down,
nor going to
Its definitely better for you to put and keep your faith and trust in Me than in people Just trust Me for it: your future or
whatever part of life requires your trust and faith. Those who choose to trust in Me and the Father will turn out to have
made the better choice in the long run. - Him and Me or them? Thats one of the major decisions - Whom you will trust.
(2014:18)

Just try to trust in Me more, believing Ill help to see you through and it wont all be too difficult You can make it with My
help. Trust Me!
The Enemy may sometimes try to take Me out of your picture and deny My help, but you ought to know by now that its
there. (2014:19)

Trust Me that I want you to enjoy your life! (2014:20)

Another goal for Me is to make your faith in Me bigger by having let your own forces go down a bit, weakening your
confidence in your own power and might, and strengthening your faith and trust in Mine again. (2014:21)

Trust in Me and the Father a bit more, and Heaven, that Were able to make things turn out properly for you somehow in the
end, even if it may not seem that way to you right now
Thats the way of faith: to believe in God and His mercy working out, in spite of what the world may be trying to say.
Even though the enemy may be trying his hardest to prove the opposite, its a test of faith to find out whos got the biggest
and greatest power of all (2014:22)

it pays to stay trusting in Me, even if you cant tell exactly yet what My will is for you. Sometimes it takes a little time to
trust Me and have My will for you work out
Sometimes its re-establishing your trust in My will, especially when things happened youre having a hard time trusting
about
There are some tests of faith in life; and as you can probably tell, thats what youve had to and still have to be going
through.
Sometimes all that matters is what faith you have left, and all that you believe in. It shouldnt matter that much where in
this world itll all wind you up to be Your faith in Me should enable you to be positive enough to believe that I can see you
through and help you make it somehow
So, your faith in Me is basically more important than which is your more favorite place or part of the earth Trust in My
Spirit and supernatural strength to give you lasting victory! (2014:23)

The younger someone is, the more, of course, they may trust a bit more in this world, especially since a lot more younger
ones publish their own opinions and lessons theyve learned from it
And to be trusting directly in My input and words from Me isnt all that common nowadays Since todays world seems so
much smarter than anything taught and received in the past
To be clung to Me and My voice seems a little too old for those fans of todays ways and philosophies But who knows
and believes which is the better way? Those who still have faith in Me. With all modern ways of producing messages it
seems a bit outdated to cling to Mine; and its somewhat a tough faith to believe in Me and My voice instead of the
multitudes of worldly voices that sound more modern but believing in Me will promise a lot more lasting rewards beyond
this life.
Trust more in Me and what I can give you than in your own power!
317
Its easier for you to keep and maintain the faith and is in many ways more pleasant and rewarding than trusting in your
own power.
Have more faith for Gods miracles to happen! (2014:24)

It may be easier to have faith limited to this world and its reality, somewhat, and its what most people do, but dont you
think its worth it to be reminded of the fact that theres something greater to have faith in than just this temporary world?
(2014:25)

Getting you into a position where youre obliged to trust Me some more than anyone else is a good one, as far as Im
concerned, and nothing youll regret in the end, even if right now youre not quite as used to it
After all, getting you to trust in Me more than anyone or anything else is what I call a very important move in your life. Its
basically to get Me first again in your life closer than your own talents or friends or whatever or whoever you trusted
before (2014:26)

Some things that happened unexpectedly to believers helped them supernaturally to make it longer than anyone would
have thought they would especially certain hardships that strengthened their faith somehow
Sometimes, when bad things happen in the world, its important to keep the faith! (2014:28)

Sometimes youve got to have the faith that theres a certain reason, even for not so pleasant things like accidents to
happen; something youre supposed to learn from it all
Some may even be tests of faith, designed to strengthen it; even if there seems to be a danger of mystifying it and taking it
away, if you allow it to disappear, although you obviously seem to realize the need for it - At least you seem to have a bit
more faith for after life than having to go through the trouble in this life (2014:30)

There are certain different things for you to yet have to go through Certain tests of faith, and maybe certain degrees of
roughness to test and strengthen you somehow
It will be good for you to trust Me that Ill show you and reveal everything to you that you need to know (2014:31)

In many situations My people and followers and disciples have had to trust in Me. Its a bit hard to trust when things are a
bit rougher to handle, but those times prove the most just how much faith you have in Me and the Father
These days its becoming a bit more rare and difficult to obtain all that much faith in Us with so many scientists, etc., trying
to deny Our existence, and its not exactly easy to maintain faith in Us with all those TV shows pretty much trying hard to
deny Our existence
Its a bit hard to trust when things are a bit rougher to handle, but those times prove the most just how much faith you
have.
Can you trust your God that He knew what He allowed to happen in your life? - Even if it's still a little hard for you to
accept?
Try to keep an open enough mind to keep trusting your Creator. (2014:32)

Can you trust Me?

Things could be worse! (2014:35)

if you dont believe in the System all that much, but rather put your faith in Me higher and further up, your faith may be
tested a bit over years, but then again the end of ones life just might be rewarded more and better, if you didnt just join
the rest of the world in their faith in all they can see - Even if it may require a bit more courage to keep more faith
(2014:36)

You need to continue trusting in Me.

Trust in Me the most that you can!
Just put your trust in Me!
Sometimes you have to learn important lessons, like learning to put your trust in Me. (2014:37)

A more spiritual attitude of faith and what youve learned and experienced is better and part of a reason why I would like
you to stand up more for your faith again
Try to live by faith again and dont depend so much on other forces that the Systems uses a lot more
Trust Me, and let go of any side of fear. Use your faith instead, and let Me and My words fill you with courage and
positiveness.
According to your faith, youll see!
Just ask Me and have faith in Me! (2014:38)

Im always ready and willing to help someone according to their faith. Especially when someone is trying to figure out
which place they ought to live in or at; which would be more rewarding according to their faith and in the Spirit which
choice would obtain the greatest blessing.
You should keep trusting Me to be able to give you whatever feeling and joy of life you need.
Maybe you dont know whats going to happen, but perhaps that means its more important to learn to trust Me and ask
Me find out from Me whats happening!
Some situations simply are meant to get you to trust Me more seek Me more and put a greater emphasis on that
(2014:41)
318
It might seem rougher and less secure to have a less finance-developed survival, but to have more faith instead, and a
closer relationship with your Creator, would definitely be more worthy and valuable in the long run.
Try to count and rely on Me, the Father and all of Heaven more than on money, which the Devil mainly made take over the
role of spiritual values in this world!
Life goes on for those who keep hangin and believin on. Trust Me and keep trusting Me, and youll make it, even
through situations many folks cant or dont make it through! (2014:42)

Im sorry that life is so rough for you right now. But those are the kind of times you need in order to really trust in Me. See,
life doesnt always continue and go on in the same old way, and when its going down its better to have learned to trust in
Me.
The more you trust in Me, the better off youll be! Just trust Me and confide in Me! Dont be too dependent on worldly
things to keep you alive or going!
As long as you keep trusting in Me, youll make it!
Sometimes it takes a bit more faith to keep trusting Me, doesnt it? To believe that Im capable of protecting you, even
when youve already and recently been through a tough time! (2014:44)

Its pretty good to view different kinds of changes in more positive ways, putting more trust in your Creator about them
and try to accept upcoming lessons with greater and more positive faith. To take a more positive attitude toward new
things happening to you in life is a good thing, because it shows you trust in God and the Creator, and not just your own
ideas of what should happen to you. (2014:45)

Ill lead you and guide you, you can trust Me! Just show youre trusting Me, and you wont be disappointed! Those who
trust Me will be rewarded!
Prayer, praise and trusting in Me are good and powerful spiritual weapons you shouldnt neglect when youre believing in
Me. (2014:46)

If you believe in death as a way to get to eternal life, which is the faith to which Ive led you, well, dont you think Id be
hoping that the older you get, the more you prepare for the values of eternal life? Instead of caring mostly about
temporal things and values you can earn, or reap in physical, temporal and material life which arent going to last
forever.
So, your faith has a lot to do with your life in the Hereafter; whether you just believe in the temporal and material world and
life, or in the eternal one
I want you to get closer to the things youll live for in the eternal life even if its something youll only have by faith right
now, and youre hoping your faith is the right thing! (2014:47)

Why not strengthen some of your faith in Me in that way and sense, that I and the Father can still easily heal peoples
diseases and sicknesses and physical flaws, if they ask us and have the faith for it?
Try to keep your faith in Us in the first place for a while and see what happens!
Sometimes you need to take some time to let your faith in Me grow again! (2014:51)

Somehow the bigger and more massive a worldly system, the tougher it gets for believers of the kind who lived by faith for
a long time
Im trying to teach you whether faith is better, or trusting in the System...
Stay more positive and full of faith!
Stay actively fighting for faith against the enemy, and what hes trying to sow into your life!
Sometimes there are tests of faith, and Id always like to find out how youre doing with your faith.
Some folks believe that the test of faith you experience will make you stronger and more miraculous! (2014:52)

Dont you think that having to pray and put or keep your trust in Me makes you a little more alive at an older age keeps
your mind working, and especially your faith?
Its somewhat better for your character to keep your trust in Me, instead of yourself, your own abilities, or the amount of
money youre getting.
Trust Me that its definitely better for you in the end to keep your faith in Me; although most people these days dont.
Trust Me that I can take care of you, and especially I will where Id most like you to be! (2014:53)

Put your trust in Me! Dont put it so much on human aspects or financial ones, but try to and fight for making Me the Factor
you put the most faith and trust in.
Just try some living of faith with going into all the world and see what happens.
Try something different than what mostly everybody does, and see Maybe faith will lift you up, and taking a look of faith
might make things for you turn out better
With the enemy trying to portray his power anywhere and everywhere in the world, its important that you trust Me! (2014:54)

Renew your faith in Me, knowing it can be quite silly and foolish to just trust in yourself in a world thats pretty much run
by our enemy
Just keep trusting Me, that a life following Me will draw you into a much better place than you can find on earth for right
now.
319
When you cant just trust in your own power and strength fully anymore, you tend to lean more on to Me, to look up to Me
and seek to trust Me more! (2014:55)

You can trust in Me to supply you with the things youll need. Trusting in Me, more and rather than yourself to supply your
needs dont you think thats more of the way of faith you ought to learn to depend on, rather than the do-it-yourself or
trusting the System, like others do?
Trust in Me more than in their money and system. Put more of your faith and trust in Me than the values of the world!
(2014:56)

You should trust in and rely on Me more, and your heavenly help, and keep claiming and asking for and relying on it
For many who lived by faith, their lives of faith got a bit rougher as they got older, and thus also more effective and
significant.
Becoming used to having to trust in Me is better in longer terms than establishing a trust in the Systems way. Be happy
you can trust in Me, even if the situation in general may seem quite unusual to you and difficult Maybe its been this
difficult in order for Me to make sure youd learn how to trust in Me properly and also in what would be My will for you.
(2014:57)

Some things occur as tests of your faith; and sometimes it might need a bit of improvement, some acts of strengthening
If you believe in Me, part of that faith is seeing the necessity of My filling your life and spirit with My Presence. (2014:59)

Trust in Me and the heavenly force being greater and superior over the enemys, meaning you dont have to be that scared.
Trust in and rely on My power and force and the Fathers, and all of Heavens to be rather superior over the Enemys, and
youll be able to make it.
Trust in Me and that Im more powerful than any of the devils power and energy; and that youll make it in the end! Youll
rise above him and them that follow him, even though right now on earth it may seem as if hes the winner. But trust Me:
The end of the battle hasnt occurred yet! And its happening to show what people are trusting in and choosing.
See, you should make it definite that youre trusting in Me, and not what the System has to offer. And the changes in your
life right now are occurring because the time for changes to be manifested clearly is approaching. Trust Me that in your
case youll definitely want to overcome the enemy! You wouldnt be very happy with him having won the battle in or over
your life.
Hang on to Me and trust in Me! (2014:61)

What will help your faith to grow? My miracles to help you, or the financial support from the state, causing you to just
survive in the System somehow?
Itll certainly encourage more faith in you for Me to empower you and support you than staying where the System would
take over all that glory
Just deal with it what life is handing you, and trust Me that you might deserve it and learn a few lessons out of it. (2014:62)

Trust Me to help you and make you survive the trouble ahead! (2014:64)

Trust in Me instead of taking System organizations as your rule and life pattern Would it be so much worse or harder to
learn to trust in Me more, instead of the System? (2014:65)

Put your faith in Me and Heaven, rather than the power of money on earth!
Trust Me more than you did in the money you earned and than your own wisdom and abilities (2014:66)

You might just have to trust in Me a bit more than in yourself, and that might not hurt any Trusting in Me, rather than
your own ways could be helpful. (2014:67)

Continue to trust in Me, and be assured that I can save you out of whatever messes, and its all not going to be so bad in
the end! You can trust Me, and trust in the fact that things are going to work out, after all. You dont have to be so worried.
Some of the things happening are there to teach you to trust in Me, even in spite of the negative things happening in the
world and to you
Maybe Im trying to get you to become more dependent on faith than your talent Trying to get you to rely and trust more
in Me than yourself. (2014:69)

Decide where you shall spend the rest of your future: in the faith for miracles I can do to keep you alive, or faith in the
money you can receive (2014:72)

Have a bit more faith that I can make your life being worth it one worth living.
So, how about trying to stop murmuring and taking things by a bit more faith?
Getting used to funds that can be raised easily from the support of a nation or state may not always strengthen the life of
faith that ought to make your faith stronger in other values than paper money, and cause your faith to be stronger in Me,
your Saviour, than the System, its countries and powers
For true Christians it shouldnt really be something to base faith or a life on. (2014:74)

320
If you believe in life after death, then its time for you to put some action into that faith and reduce your faith and action
from what you used to put in your life for the sake of money. (2014:76)

The more you trust in Me, the better things will be! (2014:79)

Its one of the enemys great favorites to make sufferings especially for believers to happen as long as possible in this
world; and while he lets them occur, make you cease to believe in Me and stop and terminate your faith.
So, remember this also, that what he is performing in your life here just as way back with Job is meant to test you
whether youre still going to keep believing in the Father and Me after suffering what has been caused you by the enemy,
but has also been allowed by Us
Test of faith is that sort of a thing called, and youre just going to have to make it through it somehow and some dont,
as you can tell. So, how much do you believe in the Father and Me; and how strong is your faith in us and will you be able
to keep it?
Jobs name is somewhat meant to show some folks that its true believers job to keep their faith, in spite of suffering.
This part of your life will have a greater reward for you, if you can make it through it victoriously, and wont let all the hard
things occurring, damage or weaken your faith too much. A lot of folks have to go through testings of faith
Whats more important in the long run, is your faith! Money wont be able to do much for you when the end of life is finally
there, and youll definitely appreciate faith more. Faith helps you to appreciate the value of lasting and eternal things, and
not just in the temporal So, try to remember that fact on faith quite a bit! (2014:80)

Its a good time to trust in Me when you dont have much of a clue what your futures going to be like, isnt it? Dont you
think thats what Id encourage you to do: to trust as much as you can in Me concerning your future and all?
You can choose to either trust in Me more or try to trust more in yourself which one do you think would sound more
promising and effective regarding the end of ones road?
If the time to trust in your life and your own self doesnt last forever, how about putting your main trust back in Me?
Trust and believe in Me!
Believe in Me as the one true and real Thing to believe in! (2014:81)

Many of My Words to you have included My reminder for you to trust in Me! So, whenever things arent looking so bright,
keep trusting in Me anyway and realize that with Me and My help you can make it, even if it may seem very hard and tough
for you at the beginning
Keep trusting in Me! Its all I can advise you to do. Trust Me and watch Me do things for you, as you listen to Me now
whenever you can. Youll see things keepin on going for you, if you just keep trusting in Me and try listening to Me and
tuning in to Me. (2014:82)

Stick to your faith!

If you let worldly influences take the major part on you, lets say its easier to lose your faith in Heaven.
When the devils influence in the world becomes largely more visible, and it becomes harder and harder to keep in touch
with Heaven and Its folks, and tougher to keep the faith in it, well, its time to start strengthening your faith again! (2014:83)

Sometimes its a good thing to be open for whats happening to you in life, and especially if you believe in Me, trust Me for
what I allow to happen to you. Even if its not exactly what youd have chosen for yourself, trust Me that I made the right
choice, even if its a little harder in the beginning.
Just trust Me that learning about and finding out how badly the worldly systems can fail will help you appreciate Heaven a
lot more! Your faith in Heavens gone down a bit, but it would certainly be worth it to raise that faith up again For without
Heaven what else is there to live for, believe in, have hope for and make you continue with faith in a positive Hereafter?
(2014:85)

Certain things can occur during which you cant lean on and confide in your own abilities anymore, but need to trust in Me
and My help for you to survive And, trust Me: Its the best time to start getting into that habit of trusting in Me for your
survival now.
Sometimes, when you become weaker in the flesh, you turn to trust in Me a bit more; and trust Me, the way things are
developing and bound to develop in the Endtime, youre going to have to trust more in Me than your own capacities the
way you did before.
So, trust Me that all thats been happening, turning you around and putting you in a way of trusting more in Me and relying
on Me more, is better. (2014:86)

You can believe and trust and have faith, even though the enemys making it harder for folks these days to believe in the
Father, in Heaven, and in Me He just wants folks to become slaves of the money they can earn, and thats largely through
jobs in which people figure it might be better not to believe in Me, or they might wind up feeling guilty about some of the
things theyre asked and told to do
As long as people think that money is the greatest and most important thing to earn, to work for and make their lives spin
around well, faith in the Father, in love, or in Me are not that often to behold.
So, even if youre not making it with great jobs or amounts of money, just consider that faith in love and faith in Me may be
better to get you through life somehow and in some way, even if the devil will try as hard as he can to dissuade you and
persuade you that money is the most important so that eventually he can get folks to take on his mark to replace money
and its power sort of to show whose power that power of money actually was all along (2014:87)
321
Its more important to look unto Me and count on Me, depend on Me and My Spirit, than to let the circumstances in your life
play the major role! Trust in Me! Believe and have faith in Me!
Whats happening to you is the lasting lesson that youd better and most of all trust in Me for the victory in the spirit, and
youd better get used to the fact that victory comes through and from your contact with Me!
Thats how much faith means in your life! Its where your victory comes from, and what Im there for, and your faith in Me!
This world is temporal, while Mine is eternal!
Most people are having a hard time believing in it, accepting it or preparing for it, but thats what faith is all about, and the
reason why it pays off to follow it to the Place youll spend your everlasting future.
A lot of folks dont believe it right now, because they figure the here and now is better. But you know better and feel
different than that. You know something betters coming!
See, faith in Me can have a great impact on you to prevent and keep you from great trouble. It can protect you and keep
you from harmful accidents and sicknesses and diseases. But when you leave that part of a life of faith, you are bound to
discover the difference that such a life makes. (2014:89)

When you dont understand the way things are happening or why I allow them to happen, you could call that a test of faith.
- A test to see how strong will your faith in Me be anyway.
As long as one understands everything thats going on its relatively easy to have faith. But what when you dont, and its a
bit more of a challenge to trust Me and have faith for it?
When youre fighting hard in order to keep your faith, it shows that Im a bit more important to you than I unfortunately
turned out to be for many other people who forsook their faith in Me when things happened they didnt quite understand or
approve of.
When you still have faith to trust in Me even when things happen you dont understand, that shows real faith.
One of the most important purposes and factors has been for you to trust more in Me again, not just rely on the
circumstances When youve lived for a couple of years without having to get desperate in faith, it becomes a bit harder
again to lean on faith
Sometimes the difficult circumstances help you to put more of your trust in Me, and thus strengthen and fortify your faith.
So, if things start getting rougher and tougher for you in some ways, cheer up that thats the way I try to raise your faith in
and dependence on Me instead of your own carnal abilities. Sometimes I might also be changing your ways thereby, get
you to do something a bit more important for My Spiritual Kingdom rather than for your own success or popularity in a
worldly way.
Its always better to trust in Me than in yourself, and sometimes it takes a fall of some kind to help folks to realize that.
(2014:91)

Youre just going to have to keep making progress in trusting Me. Trust Me, and youll overcome! Just keep putting your
faith in Me; and when theres nothing much else left to keep your faith in, let the fact that I may well be the only One left, be
what keeps you going.
As long as you keep your faith in Me, Ill keep you alive and going, and keep you fighting victories, even if you feel
physically weaker than you ever did before. Keep trusting in Me and youll make it, I promise you! (2014:92)

Believing in Heaven and life after death makes a difference, but its all by faith, and will only be proven to you once you get
there! So, its by faith.
Lets just say, its time to let your faith in those things you cannot see, grow at this time, even if it seems to be a little more
difficult to you.
Just make your faith in the life after this one grow. Let your faith in spiritual values grow above that of your momentary
faith and importance you give to money!
It should be clear to you as a believer in Me that there are more important values than that! (2014:100)

All things are possible to him that believeth.

I know its difficult and hard to believe sometimes, because the enemy will try to distract or discourage you from it. But
thats why its a battle, and you have to fight in order to keep the faith!
Can you believe Me that I can help you make it? All in all, it still depends on the faith you have; whether you have the faith,
or not, and on what kind of choice you will make! (2014:101)

Remember: faith is supposed to be shown by the positive way in which you can survive no matter where. Complaining
about things a lot is not a great sign of faith!
On the other hand, finding out which way worldly systems work can also strengthen your faith in Me and My Kingdom,
apart from this world!
Following the way of faith until the end is not necessarily all that easy. (2014:102)

Whether there is anything after life, is a matter of faith something pretty much most people lack that faith in life
hereafter. (2014:103)

If you openly depend on Me, trust Me that youll be better off in the end than all those who dont.
Im trying to get you to put your faith in Me and My power instead of that of money
If only unbelievers would have to suffer in life and go through things believers would never have to go through, many
would think it would have been unfair, once they enter the spirit world and take part of their judgment.
322
Thats one reason why its recommended for believers not to commit as much sinning, because they might have to suffer
for it, too even in their current life, while many unbelievers only will have to pay for their deeds in the hereafter.
Its not all that easy, as a believer to trust in Gods forgiveness and yet have to go through suffering for committed sin
but it also explains why many believers dont recommend sinning to believers.
For many its too hard to bear to be hit quite severely in their lives, and theyll often end up with nothing but hard times in
their lives, because they dont manage to keep upholding their faiths.
Its definitely worth an effort to try and fight for that, to keep believing, even if the Devil was granted the right to swing
some vehement judgment in your life against you. You can either manage to win against him by fighting for your faith and
keeping, and even raising it, or lose the battle during this life (2014: 105)

When it gets tough for those believing in Me, it means theyve got to ask Me for help, put their faith into action, and not
allow the devil and his forces to win or succeed against them. Of course, hell do whatever he can to weaken peoples faith
in Me, but You must not let him! Its quite the opposite necessary, that you should make an effort to strengthen your faith,
spend more time with Me and do all you can to strengthen it! Dont allow him to weaken it, but strengthen your faith! (2014:
108)

Trust Me! - Lean on Me and confide in Me and the fact that Im a more faithful and reliable Source to trust in, in the long
run, than the worldly system will be.
The spiritual guys behind the scene are the higher ones, even though they can only be perceived by faith. Its another
value of faith: to esteem and rate the spiritual world higher than ones own physical and temporal things. (2014: 111)

If you can lean on Me and trust in Me, itll turn out to be a better role to play than for someone or folks just trusting in
themselves. If you can trust in Me instead of just yourself, better off youll be! Trust Me for that! Better off youll be, if you
can trust in Me. Its just a bit more value to the trusting in the truthful methods as opposed to the ones not founded on
truth, but on lies that the Devil always builds into peoples temptations, and the trouble hes brought to the world since its
beginning (2014: 113)

Praying means you have more faith than others who dont, that I and the Father have the greatest and best abilities to turn
things into the way they ought to be, bring about the changes you and the rest of the world need, and well, that faith is a
better and greater help than ones own smartness. By faith good things happen, not just by ones own brains. Faith means
you believe and pretty much know that God is really smarter than you yourself could ever be. Not something that modern
education made most folks ready to think or believe
Faith means: Are you smarter than them? (2014:117)

There is a common end of life for everyone on this planet except for those whove received Me, and will experience
eternal life hereafter, by faith in what I have taught My followers and disciples.
In order to get more faith in the Spirit World and the Kingdom of Heaven, you have to fill your mind and heart with its input
too! Feed your faith and let it work for you accordingly! (2014: 121)

Having to cope with monumental changes is what youre going to have to learn, including trusting in Me above everything
else, because things wont just keep going as they were
Perhaps one day youll actually thank Me for having let you learn to trust Me above all things, realizing that what I put you
through was the best change for you to make it through what would be coming
Keep trusting in Me above all, and not just in your talents, but leaning unto Me to get strength in the most important
abilities of spiritual, lasting and eternal strengths and values, much more important than your temporary successes and
gains.
Trust in Me and it will come, the grace you need in order to make it. I can give it to you, and itll be yours if you just hang
on to Me and develop the faith in the grace you need in order to receive the victory.
Trust in Me, and Ill help you to manage to make it, no matter how bizarre, how long and how tough it all becomes. Trust in
Me, and itll be the music youll need to make it along lifes road and highway. (2014: 122)

Part of the faith you have and virtually of the things you know, should be that the real life thatll really be worth living, is
the one hereafter.
Prepare for it, if Heavens what you believe in. Make it obvious you believe its worth it all!
Remember that life on earth isnt all there is or forever will be, but that theres a much better Place to prepare for, if youve
got the faith in it.
Dont expect too much of your time of life down there, but put a bit of your daily hopes in your faith Up Here. You may not
be that familiar with it yet, but trust Me, things will definitely be better! (2014: 124)

Dont underestimate the Father!

Just because He didnt demand of everyone to believe in Him and accept Him, doesnt mean Hes as dumb as some of
those unbelievers think Hed have to be, if He were real Well, but just wait and see and keep your faith in Him and Us
as much as you can, not doubting Our intelligence, just because you dont understand some of the things we do or allow
to happen.
Some may not make sense to you right now, but just have a little faith and wait and see! (2014: 126)

323
How much do you really believe in love, which the Bible says is the same as God, the worlds Creator, according to it? And
if you do manage and happen to make it the most important thing in your life well, trust Me, youll feel and experience a
worthwhile difference that will be likely to very much boost your faith.
Try to keep love as the most important thing to believe in and to practice, and youll experience how it will lift up your faith
and positiveness.
What about throwing the value and purpose of your life into this, and make love the most important purpose in your life?
Maybe youll actually find out that its the same as God, the Creator of everything, and that should strengthen your faith in
Him, in Me, Heaven hereafter, and accordingly, the quality and value of your life. (2014: 128)

Trust Me, its a whole lot better to learn to let go and let God do things for you than try to do it all yourself and have it all in
your own hands.
Trust Me that youll be better off allowing Me to do it, and not try to handle everything yourself anymore!
To put your trust in Me is all I can encourage you to do right now.
You might be much better off turning out to trust in Me more than in yourself, and rely on Me more, and My help, than your
own abilities.
Trust and rely more on Me than yourself.
Lean on Me! Trust in Me! Seek and find Me and rely on Me! Trust Me that its the best you can do! Dont trust too much in
yourself, your own abilities or intelligence! Trust more in Me! Let Me work things out for you, and by relying on Me and
expecting it of Me its more likely to happen than by confiding in yourself, and then wondering why it doesnt.
Trust in and rely on Me! Dont lean too much on your own understanding!
Keep trusting in Me, that I know what Im doing and know whats best for you. (2014: 130)

Thats what your faith in Me and a life of faith in general are mainly about: preparation for the Hereafter, which trust Me
will be pretty much bigger than this temporal world and your temporal life in it.
Its a matter of faith, and not too many people believe in it so much, but what do you believe? And if its the thoughts in
the Hereafter for you that make you feel better, they might be a preparation for you thatll turn out to be worth it. So, if
thinking about the better Hereafter cheers you up, maybe thats a lesson of faith!
Trust in Me! Rely on Me! Count on Me that I can pull you further upwards than youve ever been, ever managed to get on
your own, and put your trust in Me, instead of relying too much on your own abilities to lift you upwards! Some things
quite a lot, actually can and will be better done by Me, and all the Fathers operators.
Its a matter of faith, and that faith has to grow! And the more it will, the better off youll finally be! Its gonna get better the
more you manage to put your trust in Me and whats coming hereafter!
The reason why faith isnt so popular these days is because the enemy has sought to destroy it in folks for a long time,
and hes getting closer to it by his cooked up doctrines they took over and put into their kids education and entertainment
like movies, etc.
The end of the human life on earth is a reality that ought to be learned to cope with; and thats the advantage your faith
ought to have. Trust in something better coming! Thats the part that your faith in Me ought to do for you! Trust in Me that I
died for you in order to render a better life to you after this ones over if you believe in Me, Whom the Father gave for you
and the entire world. (2014: 132)

Even if many worldlings seem better off than you right now Just keep a little faith that it wont last forever. Their
contentment may be satisfied here and now, but might not always stay that way until there and then, even if the temporal
life seems to be so long to you that youre almost tempted to think thats all there is and will be.
It may be a bit harder to believe in the There and Then instead of the here and now but, well, thats what faith is
supposed to be all about! Can you still believe it?
I could make things a lot easier for you, but a lot depends on your faith. According to your faith be it unto you (Matth.9:29).
As you believe, so shall be it. So, its better to believe in something more than what you see happening all around you,
isnt it? Cant see Me, but believe in Me, and youll be better off! Cant see Heaven or the Father or the angels but
believing in all of them is better than just believing in what you can see!
Believe in more than what you can see and is going on all around you! Thats what faith is all about!
If you mainly believe in what you see going on all around you, it might be a little harder to believe in what you cant see
physically. But if God is a Spirit, as you learned, and the main world and dimension is the Spirit World, it pays to believe
and put more faith in it, dont you think? Even if those close to you dont believe in it quite the same way as you do Faith
is an individual thing. And if Im training you to have or get more, thats quite probably what you will need!
If physical things will be over eventually, doesnt it encourage your faith in whats hereafter?
If the temporal discourages you and weakens you, just keep your faith in Me and the hereafter the Spirit World. Trust Me,
its a lot more long-lasting than the physical! And at some point, for every believer comes the time to strengthen the faith
in the hereafter, and take a bit out of the emphasis on the here and now. Have faith in whats coming more than in what is
right now! After all, isnt that what faith is all about? - In the there and then instead of here and now?
Faith requires to believe in a bit more than merely what you can see with your eyes! Try to see the things beyond! Have a
little more faith in Me and the vaster, grander and greater things all around Me!
Just trust more that whats coming afterwards will last longer and will be worth it quite a bit more! So, its not a loss to put
more faith in whats coming than whats here now.
And you may agree some day that making your belief in that (whats coming) grow above faith in the here and now only
will have been worth it!
Sometimes its the rougher type of situations that expect you to have faith or help you to get more faith, because you need
it! Remember that faith is one of the gifts of God, and thus, more important than education and information you can get
324
from the world! When you go through a situation, its for a purpose. - So, no reason for murmuring and complaining about
it. Take it by faith!
And try a bit harder to make it! To take it what life has to offer you! It could be easier, yes! But it could also be even
harder than it is. So, try to make it as much as you can! Trust Me for it! Its not so bad. (2014:134)

Believe and trust in Me that theres more to come! (2014:135)

Trust Me that theres something better coming up! A whole lot better!
Why not trust and rely more and Me, Who will eventually take you out of this mess?
And try a bit more of what you can to influence others and give them some light of hope for the future some faith. Help
them find faith! (2014:136)

Having to suffer a bit may be a big test of faith, but if things will go well, it will just grow stronger through it. (2014:137)

The best to trust in to make it through what the worlds becoming is Me, My help to you, and the only force thatll help you
make it through the wicked period that awaits the world. (2014:140)

Just trust in Me! If you dont know how youre going to make it, that might be a good way to get you to really put your trust
in Me instead of keeping it in yourself!
Putting your trust in your own strength as a believer in Me might not be the true sense of things. (2014:142)

Sometimes you ought to try keeping on trusting in Me no matter how tough it may be; and even if youre having a tough
time being where you are keep trusting!
Those who have chosen to make the System their hero and the thing they yield their faith to, may seem a bit more
successful than you and other believers But lets wait and see! Maybe believing in Me will turn out to make you luckier
than the other great bunch of believers in the System! (2014:143)

Victory might not always come just by itself. You might need to prove and show that you believe in Me for it! Whats wrong
about strengthening your belief your faith in Me?
Im right here not too far away to help you find some of what youre seeking, and a lot of it depends on your faith So,
strengthening your faith is going to turn out having been worth it, and its a good thing to do. Strengthen your faith, and
itll strengthen you, too! (2014:145)

I can do anything and everything. Just gotta ask Me for it! Have that little bit of faith! (2014:146)

Sometimes, when you dont know what the future will be like, it makes you just have trust in Me it causes you to search
more for Me and My help and not lean so much on your own strength.
When you can trust fully in Me maybe because your circumstances have forced you to put that trust in Me more than
yourself and your own capabilities lets say, youre a larger bit closer to the way folks eventually wind up in Heaven.
(2014:147)

Maybe your faith is being a bit tested to help you find out yourself what you believe in. Dont you think its good to find out
what you believe and how strong your faith is? - In spite of the circumstances. Trust and believe in Me in spite of what the
circumstances might be telling you against Me!
Stay cheerful because complete victory is eventually coming for all of you, and trust Me: it shall be worth it! Can you still
believe in Heaven? In a better Hereafter for those who believe in Me and do the right things? Trust Me that its the best to
keep trusting in, and youll find out that it all will have been worth it, even those temporary defeats the enemy puts you
through in this world! Just remember: The ultimate victory will be Mine, and, because you believe in Me, also yours, and
itll make it worth it all (2014:149)

Just keep trusting Me that Ill open the door and show you where to go when its time to go!
As long as folks keep everything in control under their own power and strength, there isnt that much reason to keep
looking out desperately for Me and letting their faith grow
Trust in Me and rely on Me by availing yourself as good as constantly of My help and protection, and never take the safe
times and conditions for granted. (2014:150)

Trust in Me and believe Me when Im telling you that what Ive got for you right now is more important than what I gave you
back then!
It may cost you more faith to make it victoriously through the present times but maybe thats My will for you: to get ahold
of more faith than you made it with and needed in the past. But thats because it may be more important for you and many
folks to keep up the faith throughout whats to come!
Its always easier to have faith when things are going alright. The rough and tough tests of faith are those tough things
happening in the present; especially the kind you never had to deal with before and theyre there for a reason! Trust Me!
See, thats another point: Youve got to learn how to trust Me with dark times ahead, more than it was easily able to do
before!
Trust Me for today!

325
The fact that I miraculously kept you from sliding a bit prematurely into the Spirit World, should confirm it to You, and give
you the faith and trust that theres still something out there for you that We need you for
put more faith in Me than in your own perception of things again. Put a little more faith in Me and the Father than in the way
you would have preferred things to run yourself! Trust Us that we knew a little bit better what was really needed.
And dont just lament the loss of your previously glorious times in the past! If you really have faith, you ought to know that
whats coming up is going to be a whole lot better! Even if right now it may be a whole lot worse than what youd
experienced previously. It may just be a helpful reminder not to put your whole faith and trust in the here and now of this
world!
Following Me by faith often happens in a way where you dont know exactly what will happen the next day or right
thereafter Its quite important to put your faith mainly in Me and the help from above and not trust too much in safety
rigged up from the world youre in! (2014:152)

Be happy that by faith something so much betters expecting you!

Its a wicked world. Your experiences are letting you know that. And once you know, it should help to put more emphasis in
your faith in the Hereafter.
Dont just be tempted to think and act as if this life is all there is! So, dont let bad influences of the System have such a
negative effect on you. What its supposed to help you do is let your faith in Me grow stronger. And once it does, you
should be able again to let it shine on others who might need and appreciate it, too. (2014:154)

Keep trusting Me for the time left you need to stay down there. Just trust! Rely on Me, Ill help you make it!
You need to put quite a bit more of your trust in Me and the Father and in Heaven, than the earthly strength of your own
might! Put your faith and trust in things up above, and not in whats down there, on earth, and thus only temporal!
Trust Me, its more important than whatever security you may be getting from the world, as by now you may slowly be
noticing. Keep your faith and trust in Me, and one day you will see: its better than anything you can receive from the
world Wait and see!
If you can believe in Me the way you should, youll also find out that things are going to work out that way, and that this
force of faith and the power through and of the Spirit are more fruitful and creative than ones mere strength in the flesh.
Ultimately, by faith and through a life of faith, the spirit will turn out more productive, lasting, and thus, powerful,
eventually!
Trusting in Me is shown by your constant action in asking Me for help and protection. (2014:155)

Sometimes you have to trust in Me that I know best; even if it was a pretty hard and tough thing I allowed to happen to
you But all in all, its a strong test of trust, and will show how much you trust Me; and believe Me, you wont be
disappointed by your reward for your trust, even if itll come mainly after this, your earthly and temporal life.
Your trust in Me will reap rewards. Especially when its been quite a test youve had to trust Me for. In the end, it will have
been worth it for you, youll see. I know, it takes a lot of faith. But wasnt faith a pretty important thing?
(2014:156)

All in all, its best to do things by faith and be ready for changes, if I draw attention to them.
Just keep trusting in Me, even if the world around you isnt going at all the way youd like it. (2014:158)

You dont have to know right now where youll be going next (even though I understand youd feel better if you would), but
learn how to trust Me a bit more instead, trust in Me as the One Who holds your future, and be ready and willing to follow
Mine! (2014:159)

Its good for you to get into the full trust in Me for everything and every situation and trouble youre surrounded by or
could get in! Trust in Me! Thats certainly something you should not forget. Put your trust in Me that I wont let you down;
and even if something makes you fall, Ill catch you and hold you up!
Sometimes, when you dont have a clue how youre going to make it, it means youd better trust in Me, rather than yourself
or anything else you trusted in before (2014:160)

Trust in Me and you will see things getting better.

There is hope. But all you need is a little faith to get it, and not just trust in what is seen right now.
Just trust in Me, even if at the moment it may still be a little tough for you! Trust in Me, and you will see, life will improve for
you, eventually!
Trust Me that things will eventually start making sense to you, too, as confusing as they may seem to you right now!
(2014:163)

Materialistic ways only offer gain in this life and this temporary world. But as you believe and know by faith, theres more
than that, and that makes things like life worth it for you!
The mere view of surviving physically isnt enough for you, because theres still that hunger and desire for you to do more,
and that is to offer and pass on the faith that will bring the afterlife to others as well.
Living the life of faith: Living for faith (and helping others to find and receive it) and by faith (not just for the acquisition
and gaining of temporal riches which will come to naught) as well as through faith, since its the force thatll give you the
power to do all that. Life for Me and through Me, as well as for them, which is all a life by and through and for faith!
(2014:164)

Better for you to believe that its a test of faith than that Ive left you. Remember Job! He went through some tough time,
but got back in touch with Me and wound up having an even better and more blessed life than before. These tests of faith
are just part of life. And the enemy, of course, would love it if youd just lose yours easily. So, if its tough for you to keep
your faith right now, remember Job, and that youre not the only one, or the first to go through that.
Trust Me as much as you can that therell be good results and altogether a good ending of it all coming up, youll see.
Just keep trusting in Me and dont let the Enemy screw you out of it!
The devil is your enemy, and the kind of stuff he tells you, trust Me, is not supposed to help you win or make progress, but
to make you lose what youve got and go downhill.
When he cant make you lose your faith in Me, he tries to make you lose your belief in the spirit world. Since hes the bad
guy according to your belief, he doesnt mind trying to make you get rid of your faith in the entire spirit world, including
his domain (2014:165)

Trust in Me and see! I can do it for you help you make it, youll see.
Keep learning to rely on and trust more in Me, and better off youll be! Trust in Me and rely on Me for that! Youll see!
Dont be too discouraged by what the enemy did to you, but be grateful that youre managing to somewhat keep fighting
for faith!
Dont give up, but continue fighting and keeping it up for Me and for your faith!
If you can just keep on believing and fighting for your faith and to keep keeping it up, that faith, itll be worth it. Trust Me
for it!
Its important for you to keep on moving by faith to keep believing and trusting in Me, and not allow your circumstances
to affect you in such a way where they drag you down. Thats pretty much the battle of faith: to keep on believing in spite
of negative physical circumstances! Keep remembering that the spirit is the longer lasting part, and thus it always pays to
put your trust there in the spirit, and particularly Mine and keeping in touch with the Spirit of God. Trust Me that its
vaster and mightier than what the world has Instead of looking at the world too much, look up to Me!
Put a bit more of your trust in Me to make it, and you will!
Trust in Me and you will see: Life will flow more easily!
Dont put too much of your trust in circumstances, and be not too dependent on them! Be dependent on Me!
The Father loves you and all people so much that He gave Me to die for you so that you could have eternal life and bliss by
receiving Me and believing in Me.
You ought to believe in this, no matter how hard the devil tries to destroy the faith in this! (2014:166)

Just trust and keep believing that We know a little better whats okay to let happen to you! Just keep trusting Us, even if
its a big step and test of faith, okay?
Put a bit more of your faith and trust in Me and the power of Heaven, that We can help you overcome whatever trials and
tests should be showing up before you. Keep trusting in Us, and Well help you make it!
Sometimes the rough times are good tests of faith and make it stronger in the end, more so than if everything just keeps
going an easy way. Keep trusting in Me and try to find some strength in Me that will last!
Keep trusting in Us, and you wont regret it! Keep trusting in Our Love!
You can definitely also make it, confiding and trusting in Us!
Even if its all by faith and it will take a bit of faith to make it.
Just trust in Me for whats to come for you!
Trust in Me and My promise that the future will be better for you than this current present! (2014:167)

Whats expecting believers: life after death.

Now, the enemy may be making it tough for folks like you to remain a believer, and its a bit of a fight for keeping that faith,
but youve just got to stick to it and keep on moving towards the victory.
Keep hanging in there, and believe that you can make it with Me and My help. Believe in Me, trust in Me, stay with Me, and
receive My help!
Know and believe that Ill help you, and you dont have to feel forsaken, or like youre going to have to go through the
suffering or tough path all alone and by yourself without any help from above.
Keep trusting in Me and youll feel and know thats how it should be. Ill be around when hope needs to be found. Trust in
Me and youll see: youll find it! Hope! (2014:169)

Faith is believing in something you cant see. And once you can believe in those things beyond the life and things you can
see now, that means your faith is growing, and making you value and appreciate My dominion more than the one thats
currently occupied by the enemy. (2014:173)

Its quite a good lesson to not be dependent on what you see, but to live by faith, making your life depend on Me, instead
of its physical circumstances. Make your life dependent and possible through Me, believing in Me, and not depending on
the physical circumstances! Live in Me! Try it, and trust Me that itll work out and make you happier than being dependent
on physical circumstances!
If Ive told you before that it pays more to put your faith and trust in Me, nows the time to make that work out for you to
depend on Me, not on physical circumstances alone. (2014:177)

If you can remember Me and treat Me as the Principal over your life, trust Me, its the best thing you can do! Dont let the
enemy divert you and distract you with some of his gimmicks! Trust Me that youre better off right now without getting
sidetracked and entertained by them every so often!
327
Put more of your trust in Me than in yourself and your own mind, and ultimately, youre definitely better off through that!
Trust in Me instead of yourself, and youll be better off! (2014:178)

You ought to believe and know by faith that I can help you and enable you to overcome just about any difficulty.
Just trust Me that even the rough times have their purpose!
Just take it by faith that the Hereafters a whole lot better, and something to look forward to, and another reason to stay
positive.
The here and now for you isnt really going to be that long! For some folks its all they think theyll ever have, but your faith
should have taught you differently!
Therell be a brighter and more glorious future, eventually, and itll be all worth it, trust Me! If lifes a little rough right now,
trust in the Hereafter thats to come, and that itll be worth it all, whatever is unpleasant that you might have to go through
right now.
Dont let the devil with his attacks ruin or even just weaken your faith in the Hereafter, which is what hes trying to do to
folks But just remember that this part is going to be over at some point, and then youll wish you had put a little more
trust and confidence in the Hereafter.
When you get older, you should be getting wiser, too, that the here and now isnt all there is, even if its pretty much the
only thing you can hear and see right now. Eventually, through faith, youll learn theres more!
Thats also one good reason to tell them and others about whats to come: Its the better part that it pays to have faith in.
It takes a bit of strong faith to make it, to hang on holding on to Me. But I promise you wont be disappointed, if you
manage it. (2014:181)

Not knowing everything beforehand ought to strengthen your trust in Me, that I and the Father will accomplish all things
for you the way they ought to be; and not knowing everything beforehand ought to teach you to keep trusting in the Father
and Me. If you manage, itll be a valuable gain for your spiritual strength and your life, youll see. After all, thats what living
by faith is all about. Others have more faith and trust in themselves, but they also dont believe as much in the Hereafter,
over which there isnt that much human control, except through faith and trust in Me and the Father.
So, trusting in Us is something you should do, if you believe in the Hereafter, and that Were indeed the Ones Whove
created the temporary world, too, even though its largely messed up by the Enemy. (2014:183)

Its better to really trust in Us than putting or keeping your trust and confidence in money, which, as you know from the
prophecies about the Endtime with the Mark of the Beast, wont endure for ever.
Tests of faith are there for a reason: In order to find out, how much and how strongly you really believe. (2014:184)

Sometimes you dont need to know exactly whats up, or whats going to happen and what youre going to do especially
when Youre supposed to cling to Me by faith, and Im the One youre supposed to trust in, and not yourself, your own
abilities, or what the worlds System is going to do for you.
The more you can trust in Me, the better off youre going to be! So, trust in Me, My love! Not the world or in yourself,
anything that can be seen with your physical eyes or heard with your physical ears! Trust more in what can be received by
your spiritual heart, mind and soul! Trust a little more in that, and in whats to come, not in whats right before you!
If youve got faith in the Hereafter, a lasting and eternal life, why must you act as if all that mainly matters is the here and
now?
Maybe thats the reason I havent allowed your past to develop into something too nice, so that youd pour a bit more of
your faith and investment of your life in My Hereafter, which I can guarantee you, will far supersede your here and now!
If you cant be that great in the here and now anymore, let your growing faith in the There and Then strengthen others faith
in it, too; and youll see, theyll ultimately highly appreciate it, and not just thank you in the here and now, but will be
grateful to you especially in the There and Then where theyll show up because you caused them to and gave them the
faith in it. (2014:186)

Youre going to be better off in the end trusting in Me than in yourself. And in the end, thats what faith is all about:
Believing in something else (and better) than the physical qualities, which will expire and come to an end, whereas that
which you put your faith in wont ever end. (2014:187)

Tests of faith are what youve been prepared for and told that theyd happen So, here they are. Hows your faith going to
bear with them? How are you gonna make it?
Youll find out in the end whether you were right or not to believe in Me and the promises I gave, and maybe get some more
confirmations in the meantime that might make the believing easier during your lifetime on earth. Come what may, you
know that if what your faith in Me told you is true, youll be better off than what many others offer or claim (2014:188)

Take things the way they come. Just accept them, believing that We know what Were doing or permitting to happen to
you, even if it seems pretty hard and tough to you. Just keep hanging in there and let it build up your trust in Us! (2014:193)

Get focused on trusting above all in Me, the Father, and any heavenly help you can get, and get into the gear Im leading
you: to trust and rely on Me, not yourself or the way things are going in this world.
Sometimes the times get harder and tougher than youll be able to manage them on your own, and thats when youll
appreciate the times you learned how to depend on and trust in Me above all!
Keep having faith and trust in Me that Ill help to see you through! (2014:194)

328
Remember that faith is to believe a bit more than what you can see going on around you, saying, theres more! So, all in
all, thats what faith is all about: believing theres more than all this present life has to offer. Are you still willing to believe
that, and not just limit it all to the here and now? Remember, thats what faith is, and even if its a little hard to fathom, are
you still willing to give it a try and consider it worthy? To believe in something more than what you see and what youre
largely told?
Just believe and keep believing that the here and now isnt all there is! It may be a little too much for some, but thats what
faith is all about: Theres more than you can see! (2014:195)

Faith is hard to have, and hard to keep, is it? So, you want something that would prove to you that what you believe in is
real a proof of faith, of the reality of things you believe in
In other words, a proof of your faith and the things you believe in. And, well, while that proof isnt there, the faith is all and
still being tested. Can you believe in Me, although Im still not there?
Well, what else would faith be? When you can see what you believe in, its not really faith anymore. So, and this test of
faith is a tough one. How can you believe in that, you wonder.
But to keep on believing even when that faith is being tested lets say, thats a good test. When your faith can still stand,
even though its being tested in a hard way, lets say, thats a thing that shows what kind of a person you are. Can you
manage to believe in Me in spite of it? Or will you lose your faith like so many others?
When your faith is being tested, and you can stand and pass the test, well, let Me hope you can trust Me saying: Thats a
good sign, and will make you show up as one of those it was really worth it for Me to have died for. To keep on believing in
spite of the devil doing all he can to make you lose your faith! If you can do that, it shows that dying for you has been
worth it all for Me.
I know, its tough and hard when so many around you seem to have lost their faiths But, well, if you can keep yours, it
will have been worth it for Me.
The devil does all he can to try to snatch away your faith, and if you can manage to keep it anyway, itll make it worth it all!
If its a battle to keep your faith, youll realize what life is all about. And if you can keep fighting in order to hold on to it,
youll have won the battle.
Faith isnt supposed to go by what you can see with your eyes. I was trying to strengthen your faith and your belief in
things you cant see, instead of just in what you see.
If you believe in Me, Whom you cant see, trust Me, that thats going to bring you farther than just believing in what you
can. Trust Me for it, and youll see! (2014:196)

Dont become so downcast by the influences of the world, but keep believing that Were stronger than that, help you
overcome and keep the victory over anything the world can let happen to you. And keep trusting theres something better
coming up! (2014:197)

I want My followers to trust Me, and not the System for their survival.
If faith is the main role of your life, then its important to live by faith, which means, trusting in Me for your life and survival,
and not the System.
Becoming more obviously one of Us, trust Me: in the end, thatll be worth it, and youll be grateful for it and will appreciate
having gone that way, retrospectively.
Do you still believe in the truth for those who are children of God and believers in Me, about not being part of this world?
(2014:198)

If you feel the enemy trying to weaken you with fears and fearful attitudes, youre just going to have to learn how to resist
his attacks and withstand them, and trust in Me, My Words and Promises to you instead! (2014:201)

By faith you should be able to tell that your blessings have exceeded your curses, and the good in your life exceeded the
bad!
As long as theres a good Creator around somewhere, you ought to be able to see and notice some of His good stuff in His
creation, even if His enemy briefly took over the control of that place Itll soon be over, and thats one of the good news
that faith tells you! (2014:202)

Hang on to Me a bit more and put some more of your trust in Me instead of that money!
Hang on to Me and keep trusting in Me and making an effort to keep serving Me somehow, and I wont let you down as one
My partners and servants doing what they can to keep showing Me and My will and plan to the world. (2014:203)

Try to find My leading and guidance as much as you can, and try to hear Me and listen to Me by paying all the attention
possible to Me, and continue trusting Me, and youre going to make it, I promise.
Thats pretty much the safest way to go, and the safest way for things to be for you: to hold on, hang on and trust in Me,
the Father, and Heavens Power in general, and much more than you can trust in this temporal world, even though they put
on this act and show of quite some power. But trust more in Me and Heavens Power, and you wont regret it!
You can trust in Me! I know you cant see Me, nor Heaven, the angels, nor any of the folks being with us Up Here in the
Kingdom to come for you, and its all by faith, but dont underestimate that gift of faith and trust! Its more than what this
world can give you; and as much as you have attached to it in your previous years and theyve seen you through, so it will
continue to happen trust Me!
See, trust is a mighty power that will strongly encourage others, too, if they can see what it did for you, and the spiritual
strength it will give you if you hang on to it and let it grow stronger!
329
Just hitch your existence on faith and trust, and you wont be disappointed, I promise, but theyll turn out to be worth a lot
more than the material wealth this world has to offer, in the long run and in the end
So, wave goodbye to what the enemys trying to tell you and tempt you with, when hes trying to hitch your faith to the
temporal and values of the physical world he runs, and trust and confide in Me and the Father, and what Well make appear
for you that is going to last, and I promise, We wont disappoint you. Can you trust in that? (2014:204)

Some times and situations require for you to enhance your faith.
The Hereafter for you is much sturdier and more worthy of putting faith into than the here and now.
Its all by faith that Heaven is real, along with the story of Me
But still, a better choice to believe in it than not at all, and just in the physical world around you, isnt it?
Getting you to hang on to Me is the only thing that will manage to strengthen your faith in Me.
Let your circumstances and condition strengthen your faith in Me, not weaken it, because you might need it more than
ever before, as times get darker, and trust Me that youll be better off believing and continuing to believe that I am real,
even if some of the things that were prophesied about Me didnt exactly happen when people proclaimed, thought or
suspected they would.
No wonder there are some tests along with that faith, is it? Lets see how long you can keep it anyway! When you cant
make every move directed by your sight and what you see, its time to move on and ahead by faith a bit more! (2014:205)

Whats good is if you can still trust Me, even if times and things ahead of you dont look so rosy, and not as beneficial as
some of your times past.
Whats good is, if you manage to keep up your trust in Me; and Id say its definitely more useful than putting it into the
ways of the world.
Just keep trusting Me, even if what the world shows you isnt too encouraging! (2014:207)

As rough and as tough as life can be for a believer in the Father and Me, its not supposed to be a stunt for you to make it
as nice and pretty as you can, but also cause you to be able to put up with the unpleasant parts of life without complaining
about them, and just take whatever comes as something your faith ought to be able to deal with!
Can you put up with the stuff I allowed to happen in your life? Can your faith take it and bear with it? Can you trust Me that
much? That what Ive allowed to happen in your life may have hurt a lot, but I still knew what I was doing or allowing?
Still trust Me enough?
Just fight for getting into a state where you can handle it, whatever things are coming down, and trust Me for them all, no
matter how tough they may be! (2015:1)

Dont be too dismayed about any of the unpleasant incidents happening!

You can make it. And trusting in and relying on Me, you will!
So, keep hanging on and keep hanging in there Keep letting your faith grow!
Remember its definitely better to put your trust in Me than in money! Or anything else the enemy has to offer to get you
a bit tripped off from Me and My side and viewpoint of things. (2015:2)

Optimism is a sign of faith, whereas pessimism is a sign of the lack of it, and rather something negative you shouldnt
really want or make space for
Make some space for the positive and have some faith and expectation for the good things to happen and come to you!
(2015:3)

Be ready to receive and handle whatever comes with an attitude of trust toward Me! I can handle it and help you handle
whatever comes, and thats basically what faith and trust are all about!
If you can handle things the way they come and happen and take place, thats a good sign that youve got faith. And
hey youre supposed to have some, right? So, those tests of faith will prove it and make sure whether you do. Good for
you to know yourself, as well, because if you dont, you might want to do whatever you can to make things change and get
that faith to grow, because as you can tell from the way things are happening, you might very well need it more than ever,
eventually, and maybe even quite soon.
The fact that I love you and care for you is one you ought to know for sure how to trust in, especially so youll know you
wont have to worry too much, even if bad things should happen. Keep trusting that Ill continue to take care of you, no
matter what happens. (2015:6)

Be a witness and testimony in honour of whats to come, which as you believe, and ought to know since indeed its so
is much better than this world has to offer in its current state.
So, hang on and hold on to the Place where you do belong and is so much better than the here and now! Hang on to Me
and to your faith in whats to come, which is certainly better than what the world around you has to offer! (2015:7)

Thats the special thing about faith: the ability it teaches you to believe in a more valuable Hereafter, for which the present
time merely prepares you. If you believe in it, and accept it by faith.
Let faith work for you and help to take you to the state and the level hereafter its supposed to. Dont neglect or
underestimate it. Take and make use of its force to strengthen and validate your here and now, and let it make more of
what youve got. Its all by faith! (2015:8)

330
Its not necessarily a disadvantage not to be able to rely on and trust in yourself completely anymore, especially not when
you ought to know that by faith its better to trust in Me. Its better and safer!
Lean on and trust in Me, okay? And with things getting rougher and tougher, just take it as something to teach you and
cause you to lean more on Me, trust and rely more on Me, and hey for your faith to finally really become worth what it
was meant to be. (2015:9)

Miracle power works. So, keep believing in it!

Even if lifes a bit rough for now it means, keep trusting in, leaning and relying on Me and My help, My Promises, and
youll make it, in spite of all the hindrances and obstacles.
Keep believing and trusting! (2015:14)

There is more than what you can see to believe and trust in, trust Me for that!
Let faith in you go on! Keep trusting Me all you can!
Maybe its a rough and tough situation youre in and circumstances youre under, but if you manage to keep trusting in Me
and the Father and believe in a better Hereafter, it should make it all possible, feasible and worthwhile for you.
Trust Me for it! Youll see, you wont regret it.
Keep hanging on a bit more faith unto Me and youll see it wont be a disappointment! Trust in Me offers a reward better
than what the temporal world has to offer!
In the end, Ill win, not the enemy! Can you trust and believe Me for that and have enough faith in Me for that?
Still got faith for that?
Have a little bit of faith and be ready for whatever comes! (2015:15)

To put your trust in Me and the Father, along with Heavens aid, is definitely better for you in the long run than the trust in
yourself and your physical abilities that you had put a lot of trust in over the years you were able to largely rely on that.
Maybe its still a bit tough for you to put most, if not all of your trust in Us instead of your role in the System and your own
abilities.
It will be better for you as a believer in Us to put your trust and confidence in Us, instead of yourself, in order for Us to help
you make it through whats coming a phase during which trust in Us will be better than in your own abilities.
How about putting more of your trust in Us, your heavenly helpers, Creator, and the angels that can help you out, too?
(2015:16)

Trust Us that were wiser concerning the knowledge of whats good for you and whats not (2015:17)

Looking forward to Heaven in the hereafter is definitely what should be part of your faith. And even if youre not too scared
of death because you believe in it, you might also become a bit more prepared for whats expecting you Here.
Let it become part of your faith and your life to prepare for the eternal mode after this!
Just let it be part of your mindset, your faith and your mental and spiritual attitude that theres something so much better
awaiting you!
Let Heaven be a major part of what your life is all about, or at least the vision of it, the faith in it, and making it the main
part of your goal in life!
Cmon whats faith in Me and the Father all about but the Hereafter and the so much better part of all things to come?
(2015:19)

If the enemy can destroy your faith in My Word and input, hell soon be able to destroy and wreck just about your entire
faith in Me. If he can, hell take you out of the group of My believers. (2015:23)

Sometimes youve just gotta wait and see, and hang on to find out the end result of what Ive given to you. It may seem a
bit too hard for you to bear at times, but then again: it might stress your faith and test it, but after a while you may find out
that it got stronger. (2015:24)

In order for things to get a whole lot better, first theyve got to get a whole lot worse If thats whats happening to you,
just try to see by faith that theyre going to get better eventually But, better late than never Amen?
(2015:26)

If the conditions are taking away your faith in the current world, it means, its better to place it in whats to come, and not in
what there is.
Its perfectly My will that your current faith isnt so steadily and strongly in the present world anymore, but that you might
be better off placing it in whats to come instead.
Knowing that youll need some supernatural help to make it in the future of this world, isnt that more according to making
it by faith the way you were previously somewhat more familiar with?
So, maybe were getting back to the way of faith, instead of sticking to making it through your own abilities, which is more
a way of the flesh, and less of the spirit and faith.
If the way and path of the flesh has been weakened, it means that the way of faith needs to be raised, lifted and
strengthened again, and its time again to trust in Me more, than your own abilities and strengths
Let faith become the stronger part than your own physical abilities, and youll see that thats more of the way of which to
go by. Let faith become stronger, and flesh become weaker.

331
Put your trust in the Spirit again, and dont let it trouble you that it cant really be down in the flesh anymore. Those days
are going to be over soon. Trust in the Spirit instead, something much more everlasting than the carnal things, which
eventually will fade. Put your trust in the more lasting things and values of the Spirit! (2015:28)

Try to keep trusting and relying on Me more.

Dont make the material aspects of life the most important. They may seem or be somewhat important, but isnt what faith
is supposed to be teaching you, that there are even more important factors in life?
Ive been blessing your life, and you should keep that faith, that Im ready and willing to do that and keep doing that. Just
try to keep Me in mind a bit more about that, and try to live a bit more by faith, instead of trusting the System for it
Try to follow Me by faith a bit more, the way youve done previously, and try to stick to that faith life a bit more! Keep
believing Me and trusting Me all you can for your survival, even if the enemy started that severe test to make you doubt
and wonder whether I still care for you
Just trust and believe that you can keep trusting Me, even if the enemy tries to tell you different things temporarily. Keep
trusting Me instead of yourself or your duties and abilities in the System, because thats what faith really is: Greater trust
in Me and the Father, instead of all the physical things around you
My taking care of you should raise up your faith, just as it has done in the past.
Your faith stands for: greater trust in Me and your Creator than what the worldly system has to offer. What it basically also
means is that you believe that theres something better and worthwhile coming after this life. So, best is to trust Me for
both: the here and now, as well as the then and hereafter.
Keep trusting in Me a bit more the alternative to trusting in the System only! Make your choice as to whats better to
trust in: Me and the Creator of it all, or the System that wasnt developed by Me or Us to produce that impression that it all
has created itself, and thus, theres nothing after this, thus, nothing they care about except their existence here and now
and its material status.
Whereas faith in something spiritual, such as a spiritual Creator and a much more lasting spiritual Hereafter well, thats
basically what promotes a different life, and those folks who do that might advertise and promote the only alternative to
the common rut most people follow. So the advantage of keeping on believing. Keep on believing, and you wont regret
it! Keep trusting Me for it, if you can! (2015:30)

When you dont know exactly what is going to happen, or when, its a good time to go by faith and trust in Me and the
Father, that Were going to let happen exactly what needs to, and when it needs to. If you dont know for sure what is going
to happen when, just keep trusting in Us, that Well see to it that things will take place at the best time possible, and that
even if you dont know exactly when, Well take care of you, no matter what even if you have to go through things during
which the enemy likes to make you doubt whether Were really in charge. A test of faith, yes but is it going to win, and
are you going to keep trusting in Us, anyway? (2015:31)

If the flesh gets weakened, put your trust some more in Me!
Put your faith more in Me than yourself and your own abilities!
Strengthen your trust and confidence in Me every morning and every day, because youll need it more than ever before in
times to come!
Dont let the enemy weaken your faith and trust in Me because things have become so much rougher for you!
So, keep on hanging on to the victory youve got by faith, and let that faith in Me and My Realm become the strongest force
in you! Keep trusting in Me, in spite of the enemys growing powers around you and things hell try to cheat you out of it!
(2015:32)

Try to remember that whats coming ahead of you is going to be better, and nothing to be scared of or upset about, even if
the enemys trying to make you scared of it. Trust in Me instead! Nothing to worry about! (2015:33)

Keep trusting Me that the blessings hereafter will largely rise above the ones folks have in the here and now!
The victorys coming eventually, and you ought to keep your sight of faith pointed toward that. While others may be
winning the better deals in the here and now, keep trusting that youll get them in the there and then, when and where My
reign will have taken over your surrounding! Keep trusting and believing in it, for what would faith in Me be worth, if it
wouldnt turn out like that like I have promised? So, keep on believing and trusting in My Promises that youll be better
off trusting in Me and what My future brings than what this temporal world has to offer for temporal success junkies.
Have a little faith in Me that what I have to offer is better than what the here and now can offer you!
Just trust Me that therell be better times up ahead.
Keep trusting Me for it all, that things will eventually get and be better for you, just as they have turned out for all true
believers. (2015:34)

Thats a greater challenge of faith: You dont know yet exactly what to do, nor how to
Just stick to Me, hold on to Me, and trust in Me! Youll see! Together, with My help, youll make it and be able to do it! So,
trust in and depend on Me! (2015:35)

Trust Me that its there for a reason, this difficult time right now, for theres a time coming you wont be able to make it
without this preparation for it.
Remember: faith isnt going by or according to what you can see! But faith is according to what you can not see with your
eyes, but believe it exists, anyway! So, believe a little more, even though you see less.

332
Maybe youll find out that you will believe more because you see less Faith isnt by what you can see, but what you can
believe! So, let it teach you to trust a bit more in that which youll see hereafter, even if right now you cant see it yet,
unless you ask for some visions given you by the Holy Ghost
Just trust Me that going by only what you can see isnt as safe and promising as going by what you can believe by faith in
what I say and tell you! Trust Me that faith is a greater and better force in the long run than just physical sight! (2015:36)

Youll be much better off trusting and relying more on Me, the Father, and the creational part of your existence. After all:
That is the important difference between folks like you and the utterly physically oriented folks that make up the majority
of this temporal worlds population. But some of them will need folks like you to give them faith in the better Hereafter.
(2015:37)

Look forward at whats to come! Make it a bit more your Home, although you cant exactly visualize it, and its all by faith.
But Id say Heavens definitely a Place worth believing in.
So, look forward to it, like the goal of your life youre headed towards! Let it be a reason for the comfort that theres a
better Place and Home to come, even if you cant see it yet right now, and that makes it all a matter of faith. - Another
reason why faith is so important. (2015:38)

Trust Me, that its more important to put Me at the top of your list and make Me the One you need the most! It might still be
a bit hard for you right now, but trust Me: the best you can do.
Trust Me that spirituality is the more important dimension that you should also put in the first place in your life by now.
Trusting in your own flesh and physical or even mental abilities isnt necessarily the force you should make your life
depend on as a believer. Remember that its more likely the enemy to get you to trust in yourself and your own abilities
instead of Me and My help. Being dependent on Me through your faith is definitely an advantage in the long run, youll see.
(2015:41)

If you dont know how youre going to make it, its a good time to put your trust and confidence in Me, that Im going to see
you through, no matter what, even if the world is in a pretty bad shape, and very likely to get into its worst ever, eventually.
Now that youre having to take the tough times, it will show you, too, in what shape your faith really is, and if it isnt too
hot, you might have to do all you can to strengthen and improve it. (2015:42)

Whats faith in Me and the Father all about, but the certainty that theres something better to come?
If I am Who You believe I am, it should be important to keep in touch with Me, and not neglect that communication.
Trust Me that its getting pretty important to keep and stay in touch with Me pretty much constantly!
Keeping the faith may be getting rougher these days, but that doesnt mean it may not be getting more important with the
way the world is developing. (2015:43)

Invest whatever you can of the here and now into that faith in the fact that something betters coming up ahead!
Remember not to put too much faith in yourself and your own abilities, but the gift of the Fathers grace! For by grace are
ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves! (Eph.2:8) (2015:44)

Trust that Im in charge and control and you dont have to have everything in control yourself. It may not be so easy right
now, but trust Me! Its going to be alright.
There have been awful times for many believers on earth before they got Here, where everything made up for the hard and
rough times they had to go through was over. So, try to trust in better times ahead, even if theyre not visible right now,
okay? The future is as bright as the Promises of God. Remember that quote! And put your faith in it!
Try to keep some faith, some hope, some positiveness, and dont give up too easily! Theres some victory coming around,
eventually, so dont give up the faith in Me to bring that around, nor in My Promise that things will be better where youll
show up. So, keep the faith!
Hearing from Me is becoming one of the most important parts of your faith life in the coming times, so, I can only
encourage you to keep trying, and pull down whatever you can receive from Me. Its important for you to make your faith in
Heaven and your World to come stronger, as the world below gets darker.
Your faith is the most positive thing and outlet in your life, even if its quite rare in this world, and not too many people
youve met lately are clinging to it as strongly, and pretty much the majority of folks in this world dont even have it at all
right now. Eventually itll be what will give others hope, too. So, get ready for whats coming and let Me strengthen your
faith! (2015:45)

The good thing about having received and believing in Me: Youll wind up in a better Place afterwards, and you should be
looking forward to it, and share the opportunity with others.
Think more about Heaven, and focus more on that final Goal of believers!
Shouldnt you, as a believer in the Up Above, live a bit more positively due to that positive hope and outlook upon whats
coming up ahead for you? (2015:47)

Youd be better off putting some more of your trust in Me, that Ill help you to make it, even if its a fairly tough time right
now!
Hang on to Me and dont be so despaired! Let it all strengthen your faith, and learn how to be an encouragement to others!
Believers should not just get stuck in the temporal life as if it was all there is and lasts forever. That forever part is Up
Here, and as a believer, one should somewhat prepare for it, since thats where theyre heading!
333
Remember that learning to put your trust in Me for your life fits into the top categories of what life is all about!
According to faith, there is more than a life thats bound to end abruptly and something better to look forward to.
Theres always something better waiting if youve got faith. (2015:49)

As long as you pay more attention to what you believe in than physical and material things, topics and standards, youll
find out itll all go definitely much better for you in the long run, and youre heading in the right direction, instead of getting
sidetracked by the enemys plentiful distractions. (2015:50)

If you rely on Me, trust: Its better for you and Me!
Being brought closer to your Creator isnt a bad thing, believe Me!
Trust Me, that as things get a little harder for you, and even tougher, it means, itll create a better one out of you and raise
more strength.
When I am weak, then I am strong doesnt sound so realistic to you right now, but trust Me, that it means when
physically youre growing weaker, if youre attached to your heavenly helpers and Source of spiritual strength, in the long
run, you will be stronger! So, keep trusting in whats available for you from Up Here!
So, keep trusting! Even if things may seem difficult and tough for you right now, keep trusting that theyre bound to make
you stronger in the long run! Hold on to Me and your entire connection to the strength from above! Keep your faith, hope
and trust in It growing stronger, and youll realize in the end what it exactly means that the strength of the spirit rises far
above the mere strength of the flesh, which, after all, is only temporal.
Invest more in the spirit something most folks dont even believe in. But thats precisely one of the main differences that
faith should make and yield to you, and make you wind up with.
The state youre in, draws you back to the spiritual roots; and trust Me, that its not a mistake!
As someone getting closer to the time beyond, you might be able to sow a little bit of faith in the longer lasting spiritual
dimension, along with the faith in that thats where theyll wind up, too, and where youll be meeting again.
So, consider it all a bit of preparation for whats coming, and eventually expecting all of you. It may be one of the most
helpful factors and points of faith: helping others to prepare for the Hereafter.
Just make sure youll keep that faith and vision throughout your days, and dont be so tempted to let go of your hope and
faith! Keep on believing, trusting and holding and hanging on to Me and the Spirit World, the Place where youll wind up
yourself, eventually, as they will, too, having received Me.
So, keep up the faith, as much as the devil is trying to nick it away from you with his daily attacks! In the end, itll be more
worth than anything he has to offer in this temporal world! Keep believing in Me, keep hoping, keep trusting! Youll be
better off like that, than leaning on or giving in to his temptations, his doubts and discouragement.
Look a little bit further and you may catch those glimpses of Up Here that will encourage and make you stronger in your
faith, and thus, your power, energy and strength to make it! Keep trusting in Me, and youll make it!
See, even when things make it seem like its over, it doesnt always really mean that its over for good. You just may need a
little more trust and patience and faith that I havent forsaken you, even if that may be what the enemy is trying to get
you to believe.
Theres got to be something up ahead for you thatll make it worth it all! Just keep trusting in that Up Ahead thatll make
everything worth it that you must go through temporarily! (2015:51)

Im leading and guiding you to make faith, apart from hope and love, your major spiritual strength in your life, and am
causing you to make your faith grow on a steady basis.
Having to trust in Me and the Father and your heavenly help is definitely better in the long run than keeping your trust in
your own flesh and abilities.
So, trust in the Spirit!
Put your main faith, vision and hope into the Hereafter, instead of the temporal world ruled by our enemy! Thats what the
life of faith is supposed to be all about.
You should strengthen the faith in the lasting Kingdom. A faith that youve had for quite some time, but still needs to be
strengthened again in you
Not having much fun or enjoyment in the here and now means, youre supposed to aim the desires in Our direction, the
one thats going to last forever.
I know, its a matter of faith. But reason enough to keep it growing and alive.
The future, designed by the Father and Me, is something to look forward to by faith!
So, keep your spiritual sight and vision in a direction thats encouraging and will lift up your faith, your mood, and life in
general, and eventually, that of others around you, too!
If Heavens a part of your faith, it shouldnt be neglected paying attention to.
- A little hard to believe because you cant see it yet? Well, remember, thats what faith is all about: Believing in what right
now you may not yet be able to see. Including your everlasting future Home.
Others might appreciate that faith in It, too, if you can help to pass it on and share it with those whod long for it!
Sorry if things around you in your life have made it so hard for you to keep up that faith in Up Here! But sometimes you
need to fight for it that faith, and not allow the devil to crush it!
Its only now that youre realizing how valuable its been, having had to fight hard to regain it. Believe that its worth it?
(2015:54)

Keep your spiritual view upward, and dont let the physical circumstances drag you down so much! Have a little more faith
that We, Up Here, know what Were doing, and have a reason for permitting whats going on and happening.

334
You should have the attitude that this world is not your Home, but that theres a better One waiting for you up ahead, and it
would be good to pass on that attitude and faith.
Sometimes things go down in life. And how well you take it shows how strong you are, or how strong your faith in your
God is
Keep your faith growing stronger, so that you can also be a bigger blessing to others eventually winding up around you!
faith is going through some tests to show just how strong it is, which is fairly important, the strength of your faith.
Try to do all you can to get it stronger, as you very well might need more of it than ever before, eventually. Dont let your
faith go down, but make it grow stronger! Amen?
It means, all the more need to make your faith in Me, the Father, and the help you need from above to grow stronger!
Ask for Our help, using your faith!
If the Father is your Creator, youd better trust Him for His ability to fix you when you need it! So far, you hadnt needed it
that much yet, but if you do, turn to Him or Us to give you that extra strength and healing you need! Put more of your trust
in Us! Alright? (2015:55)

My help trust Me is the best option for you to choose.

And if you stick to My help and support, believe and trust Me that youll make it! (2015:56)

People need Salvation from what this world leads them to without believing in and receiving Me.
Thats what faith in Me is all about, and, of course, the enemy tries all he can to discourage folks from believing it, but you
shouldnt let him! Even though some negative things have happened, just hold on to Me anyway, in spite of them, and have
the faith and courage to believe that youll make it in spite of all the devil does to weaken you, stop you, or make you fail!
Just keep hanging on to Me, keep on believing and trusting in Me and that I wont let you down! Keep on believing in My
Salvation: the fact that believing in Me will save you and keep you from the punishment you would otherwise deserve for
your sins in the hereafter.
Look Up to Me and to Heaven as much as you can, and dont let the ugly current state of the world drag you down so
much, even though its quite negative and miserable But its not the only things youve got to base your focus on, but try
to make it looking more toward the better option, even if thats mainly happening by faith only. Believe in Me, and try to
look and see by faith what you believe in! Eventually you will see it! So, get ready!
Theres something better Up ahead, by faith! (2015:57)

Not feeling safe, nor at home in this world shouldnt be too odd if you believe what My Word says about whos in charge of
it for now
Funds losing large parts of their value should help you to believe and come to the conclusion that the end might be
drawing nearer, and you ought to get prepared for it.
Help your faith to grow and do what you can to help it grow around you, as well!
Trust Me, that the final Endtime will make things quite a bit tougher!
So, can you believe Me and trust Me that troubles approaching you?
We need folks who could help others dealing with whats coming and find some faith in Us, Who could help them out of it,
and at least save them into a better Hereafter!
I know its not easy for many to take on that sort of faith when the world seems to be offering whatever folks want and
physically need But the dude running it is a trouble maker, and in order to get ultimate control, theres going to be a lot
more trouble.
I want you to get more plugged in to Me and the heavenly help you can receive through your act of having received Me,
having learned to communicate with Me, and having spent quite some of that life with and for Me by faith, and not relying
on a System state to get you to make it through! (2015:58)

Dont perceive it as too negatively, the bit of a more rough time youre going through right now, but trust Me that youll be
able to not only gain greater blessings out of it yourself, but will also turn out to be a greater one for others.
I hope for you that you can manage to value these times, even if they may seem to be quite rough and tough for you! Trust
Me that theyre the more valuable ones than others of your more pleasant and enjoyable previous times!
You may have had a lot more fun in the previous parts of your life, but trust Me that its turning into something much more
valuable spiritually through those comparatively tough and harder times youre going through. (2015:59)

Your faith is finally reaching that mode in your life where its becoming absolutely necessary, and practically the only thing
by which youll make it through it all thats up ahead!
Youre going to be more dependent on Our help than ever before, and trust Me that itll be coming when you let Us know
you need it! (2015:60)

Remember the quote, Fight the good fight of faith?

Am I capable to help you to make it? Do you believe and trust in that? Well, as long as you keep putting your faith and
trust in Me and believe that Our heavenly power is superior to the enemys, even if his is pretty much ruling the world by
now as long as you keep the faith that Our heavenly strength and power is superior, and high above the enemys even
though he may rule with it down there youll make it!
Just dont lose your faith, but keep holding on to it, and all the input that feeds and strengthens it! Its pretty much what
youll need in order to make it.
Keep having the faith in the power you can avail yourself of from Up Here, being stronger than what the enemy uses to
weaken you or tear you down!
335
Keep availing yourself of My counsel, encouragement and help; and if you do, you can tell that your faith is definitely
helpful and useful, and will cause you to win the upper hand in those battles.
The best way to prepare for rough and dark times up ahead is not as much through material support and preparations, but
lifting up your faith in such a manner that youll be able to cling to and trust in Me to help and see you through even when
the times get the roughest ever!
Be confident that Ill be around to help see you through, even when the roughest time of world history will finally arrive
Put your faith in Me the most you can! Even if you cant exactly picture Me! Make it not dependent on looks you can
imagine, pictures or images, but well, faith that doesnt necessarily rely or depend on the way things can be seen or
imagined. Take it to heart that this World awaiting you isnt dependent on any of your current physical abilities, and all you
really need is spiritual input and nourishment for your faith!
Thats what you need faith for: To make it beyond that which your natural senses can perceive!
Remember that faith is supposed to be aiming beyond that which can be seen! Even beyond mental pictures or images
of things. The heavenly Sphere just goes quite beyond that which you can see or even imagine, create your own mental
pictures or illustrations of. Its all by faith, and only the Word of your Creator is supposed to help you make it there: Faith
cometh by the Word! So, can you believe according to My verbal Input to you? Try to make it there, and keep your faith in
the Word, not on what you can see for now
In the meantime, try to believe in what youre being told by Me, and eventually therell be something to believe in you can
see!
Sometimes youve just got to base your faith on what you can receive from Me, not the physical circumstances. Those
might make it harder for you, especially as time down there goes on but remember: Keep your sight (spiritually) on Me,
your focus, your faith, and thus, your vision and expectations from the rest of your life! Its better than just putting it all
and leaning on and trusting in the physical side of things going on.
See, Im working on strengthening your faith and basing it more on the unseen, instead of your visible and physical things
surrounding you! I know, its tough to make it, but try to lean your faith and trust principally on Me! (2015:61)

Sometimes youll just have to find the strength to do things you may not momentarily feel like you have it, but trust in Me
and My abilities, that Im able to give it and pour it into you, even when not quite there yet
Remember that Im able to give you powers, energies and strengths, even when you dont feel like theyre there yet.
Sometimes it just takes a little faith that I will. Gonna trust and confide Me for that? (2015:62)

Learn to lean on Me a little more and to trust in Me all you can, and you wont regret it!
Learn to trust, confide in and rely on Me, and you wont regret it!
Trust and rely on that theres something better coming! (2015:65)

Even if the enemy seems like he may be running the momentary scenery, youre wise to believe and trust that Were gonna
win and conquer it all back in the end.
As far as the choice is concerned to trust who will win the final match, even if the enemy seems like he may be running the
momentary scenery, youre wise to believe and trust that Were gonna win and conquer it all back in the end.
If you hadnt been exactly sure whose side you were on (maybe tempted a bit to vote for your own), think youre getting a
bit smarter and wiser again these days to find out Who it is thats really worth trusting
If you can keep your trust in Me, the Father and all your heavenly help, anyway, youll be worth it, and will find out that that
trust also will have been. So, keep it your trust in Me! And Us!
If fate draws you more into humility than self-confidence, it may take you some faith to see it as something good that has
happened to you, but that just shows how humility and faith fit together. Pride and self-confidence may strengthen your
faith in yourself and your own abilities, but youll find out in the long run that youll be better off trusting in Me and your
Creator than in yourself and your own abilities.
So, trust in Me and My Words and counsel to you that what has been happening to you will in the long run turn out to have
been a spiritual advancement and access, rather than a steep down-pull, hindrance and negative coincidence. (2015:66)

My believers and followers dependence on Me is what makes their faith and their actions work.
You may be a bit disappointed that you cant make it anymore in your own strength, but trust Me that theres a divine
reason and purpose for it, so that you can fully rely on Mine and the Fathers instead, and thus will make it through the
times to come and the only way you will!
Live by faith, not by the strengths and powers or your own energies!
Times are changing, and for those coming ones you need to get used to your appliance of My strength and power. Can you
trust Me for that? Well, get into it, and you will see: you wont be disappointed! (2015:67)

If you cant make it without Me and My help, trust Me that thats a very good sign!
The life of faith should consist largely of the belief that by far the greater part of life follows in the Hereafter, and that the
temporal, earthly life isnt nearly as much, nor as great as whats to follow, even if its about all you can feel, see and
perceive right now. You shouldnt let that faith in the Hereafter shrink!
Sometimes Mine and the Fathers ways from Above are different than your earthly, worldly and temporal concepts, and you
need to put greater trust in it, that what We choose for you are the better ones, and better than what youd have chosen for
yourself, in the end result!
Trust Us that We really know better whats best for you!
Have enough faith in Me or Us, that We know better whats the best way and destiny to choose for you, even if it may make
you wonder strongly at the beginning of some of those paths and incidents!
336
Trust Us that We know better whats best for you than you do yourself! Prefer Our choice over your own and what youd
choose yourself! Now, thats truly faith! (2015:69)

You must believe Me that I still need you down there for some tasks, even if the time down there seems very hard and
tough for you right now
Trust that the truly rewarding times will come after your times of service on earth! (2015:70)

Get into the groove of Heaven, your future Home, by faith.

Trust your Creator for having a good enough taste to make a Place youll definitely wind up liking. (2015:71)

The most important part of your life is to put your faith and hope in Me, and not so much in the world!
Youre better off trusting in Me for your future and fate!
Believe and know that youre dependent on Me, which will also strengthen the humility as opposed to the natural pride that
evolves when folks manage to do it all in their own strength.
I know it may seem like a rough path to you right now, but dont be too scared of it, nor resisting the path of becoming
more confident in Me altogether! Thereve been many other folks who were dependent on Me, and trust Me: they were My
heroes throughout history.
So, dont worry too much about having lost the groove of dependence on your abilities that gave you self-confidence
throughout your past, but follow My leading and guidance toward your utter faith, trust and confidence in Me, the powers
from above in your life!
Its a weird world, yes! And the less you feel at home in it, trust Me: the better!
Not that many have faith, so share and instill it in others; letting them know theres something better awaiting them, if they
can find the faith for it!
Its good youre not feeling at home in this world anymore, but long to get out of there!
After all, thats what Ive been preparing for the believers in Me and those who receive Me.
Dwell in the faith in the life eternal hereafter under much better, greater, and more pleasant conditions than that current,
merely carnal one!
Trust Me that theres something more to come, and something much greater and better!
Something way much better is awaiting you and coming for you, if you keep open the eyes of faith. (2015:73)

One good thing to do is to keep your trust in Me, no matter how bad the conditions of the world around you may be!
(2015:76)

Trust in Me and the power, strength and force from Above thats at your disposal, and youll see that this will be the end of
your desperation.
Believe and trust Me that there are way and much better times up ahead in fact, an eternity during which time as it is
right now will be no more, so something new, completely; and trust Me: so much better than the there and now for you.
(2015:79)

Youre not feeling at home there, but are really longing for a better Place, which is what I came to earth to give to those
whod believe in Me.
So, if you dont know exactly what faith in Me does for you, think about the better Hereafter (2015:80)

Have a little more faith for miracles! Trust in Me a bit more, that I can and am capable of helping you!
You might need that faith strengthened a bit, but work on it, and dont neglect it! Remember what main purpose the life of
faith is all about: its not just your own happiness and well-being, but bringing it to others, as well! (2015:82)

Good to find what makes your faith grow when youve had incidents that made it shrink pretty much, in the beginning!
Maybe it means youve also had to learn what faith and belief in Me should really consist of. Not just circumstances in the
physical realm, but the effect of My input from the spiritual!
Put a little more faith in Me and the much greater World Up above, instead of seeking to cope with the evil ways of the
world in ways that its members do. (2015:83)

In wealthy places its harder for people to put their faith and expectations in somewhere else thats really only receivable
through a solid foundation of faith. (2015:85)

Take it by faith, that Im not letting you pass through anything thats too tough just tough enough to teach you to make it
through even harder times up ahead. The more you learn to lean on Me, instead of keeping trusting in your own abilities,
the more chances youll have to make it through whats up ahead!
To gain greater trust and confidence in Me instead of in yourself, is what its all about, and a lesson you wont regret
having learned once you get there, to the time and circumstances youre being prepared for.
So, learn how to deal with whats coming to hit you as it comes, trusting Me that they wont take more than the strength I
give you could handle!
A lot depends on the trust you manage to put in Me. So, continue to trust in Me, and dont allow the enemy to weaken that
trust with his scare tactics! (2015:86)

337
When youre too busy to spend enough time to study My Word, that means youre just too busy! So, if you can get a break
from your busyness, you can get back into what Id consider more important than earning money. Remember that it makes
your faith grow a lot more, because faith cometh by hearingthe Word of God (Rom.10:17). And since faith is very
important in your life, so is the Word.
You have to work at it to keep your faith or make it stronger.
Its pretty important to keep your faith at the top of things and in a good condition, as much as you can tell that evils pretty
much ready to take over the world. If you let your faith sink down I have to let things happen to remind you how important
it is.
The temporal condition of things is more common and thus plays a bigger role to you right now, and it takes a bit of faith
to trust and take My Words serious, that strength in the spirits eternal.
It needs some trust in Me and My Words to you, and eventually youll see that theres longer lasting values in the spirit
than what the physical world offers. It may not be visible to you right now, and only perceivable by faith, but if you manage
and if you can, trust Me for it that its worth a lot more and much more lasting than what the physical world has to offer
even if you cant see it right now.
I also know that there are current tests of your faith right now through not so pleasant circumstances and happenings, but
the rougher the circumstance, the more faith you need to make it through them, and the more you need My input and to
depend on Me.
If life is rough for you, youll also see that your faith grows stronger that way, which is something youll need quite
desperately in times to come.
Sometimes lifes challenges may be tough ones, but trust Me that thus theyre also bound to make you stronger in the end.
So, keep going, keep trusting, keep making it! (2015:87)

I know you dont have much faith in yourself right now, but trust Me that thats not what you need, either. The less faith
someone has in himself, the more likely he might put it in Me instead, which is not a mistake or failure.
Try to make all the progress you can in your faith, and putting it into action!
Trust Me that Ill give you all the strength you need when you need it! (2015:90)

The fact that the world doesnt feel like your home to you, isnt a bad one, but a confirmation that youre one of Us, who
feel that Home is elsewhere. So, dont ever feel tempted to feel bad about longing for something better After all, its what
faith in Me promises. And then you just need the faith that that Promise will be kept!
If youre in a different state than others, and Im guiding you to do different things, even if they might be in a physically
better shape than you, just take it a bit by faith!
Be strong enough in faith and spirit, and weak enough in the flesh and pride!
Trust that therell be greater powers to come from the Spirit World, the Spirit of the Father and Me! (2015:91)

Keep trusting In Me, and that Ill help you, and eventually youll have more faith that youll make it, and consequently will.
Trust Me that Ill help you to make it whenever you express your need for My help! (2015:93)

Sometimes its all a matter of faith when things arent going as rosy as youd want and prefer them. Can you still manage
to believe in Me and trust Me when they dont? Or is your faith in Me dependent on your circumstances, and whether
everything is working out the way you want it?
The time to test your faith has arrived, and I know its fairly rough but are you going to make it?
I know its rough and youre having a hard time, but can you believe in Me, anyway?
I know its a rough test of faith, but if its real and turns out to survive it, those tests turn out making it stronger, and as I
told you before, greater strength in your faith is what youll need in the times to come.
Keep trusting in Me and looking forward to My Return!
Also trust Me for things to work and turn out, even if there are some doubts and fears popping up in you about whether
they will.
With all the bad and rotten things that are still going to pop up in history, its important youre raising your faith and trust
Me that I can help you make it through it, anyway.
Of course, the devil will do all he can to discourage and scare you, but its important to keep your faith and trust that Im
still in control, no matter what he does!
And if you know by faith and firmly believe it, that Im still in control, in spite of everything he does, its good if you let your
faith make you rise above all the ugly circumstances in that world around you, which you know by now, are largely altered
and rigged up by the enemy. Its sort of a tough task of having faith largely in the opposite of whats visible and happening
all around you, which the enemy, of course, does, in order to extinguish peoples faith in Me, the Father, and any deeper
sense and meaning in life than his temporal and materialistic goals hes set up for mankind (2015:95)

Not having a clue what's going to happen, means putting your whole trust in Me, hoping that I'll take care of everything
you can't manage or figure out on your own.
There's a time coming in that's evidently a bit harder. So, can you keep trusting Me, anyway?
Trusting in Me even when things are looking a bit insecure is a lot what faith is all about: to trust Me anyway, in spite of
things that have a negative outlook. It's not that easy, I know, but supposed to make your faith in Me stronger, and not just
make the physical circumstances the major part of it.
Learning to trust Me even when the circumstances aren't seeming so hot is what tests of faith are mainly all about, and
something worth going through, even if it's not exactly one of the most popular parts.

338
So, learning to trust Me when things aren't as splendid as usual is a great process of making your faith stronger, making it
depend less on circumstances, but just in Me instead, as a Factor you'll wind up realizing and considering as the major
part of it all.
When there are rough times coming up, it's a bit harder to keep up your faith, but it becomes more real by not making it
dependent on circumstances! When the going gets rough, that's when the time starts which will prove how real and
genuine your faith really is.
Your faith has been going through some rough and tough times temporarily, but you're still clinging to Me, pumping for My
input, and didn't give up, but are coming to realize that this is the most important factor in your life, more than the physical
circumstances!
So, as long as you can keep trusting in Me in spite of any unfavorable circumstances, battles and trials, the stronger and
more real your faith is going to be, and some day you'll realize that it will have been the basic factor to get you through life!
Being able to trust in Me and the Father, in spite of all the negative that's happening on earth through the enemy, well,
that's faith, and you can be sure of its reward once you get to your true Home! (2015:99)

Drawing you closer to Me means and results in greater communication with Me, but also greater dependence on Me, fueled
by growing faith that I wont let you down! Being able to trust Me for that will also make you a greater witness and
testimony of your faith.
Maybe time to put your entire faith back in Me
Try to get some more folks Up Here eventually, who don't feel that much at home down there, either!
It's a matter of faith; but you know that that's a good purpose to fight for gaining and making it grow! (2015:100)

Hows it doing, your faith in miracles? - Ready for'em? Depending on miracles and faith in them is going to be one of the
requisites to make it through the tough times up ahead So, the sooner you get used to depending on miracles, the
better! (2015:101)

Take advantage of whats happening, and trust Me and the Father that We know what Were permitting to happen in your
life, and that its all there for a good reason.
Trust Me, that I know what Im doing, and eventually youll also see the advantages of it all!
So can you trust Me? Thats a related question to your faith, and comes up in a lot of believers lives when things are
happening that they may question and wonder why on earth I or the Father let them happen.
But let Me promise and guarantee you that once you trust Us, youll eventually find out that it was the right thing to do, and
even though it may not have seemed that way temporarily, We knew quite well what We were doing. So trust Us, that We
do!
Get a bit more into that lasting groove of faith and spirituality! Though once you get Here, faith wont even be necessary
anymore. But on your way Here, thats, of course, what you need! (2015:102)

Gain solid trust and confidence in Me, believing that Ill see you through whatever rough times should come. Trust Me, Ill
be there! Not going to let you go!
Just trust and confide in Me, which is part of the purpose for all that trouble and worries and frets about it: to draw you
closer to Me and help you to gain solid trust and confidence in Me, believing that Ill see you through whatever rough times
should come. Trust Me, Ill be there! Not going to let you go!
I also have to put up with your flaws and mistakes I know about, but then, even that is probably easier than having to
depend on faith in Someone you cant see But as I told you, thats what faith is all about: believing in the existence and
reality of things beyond what you can see.
Cant see Me? Well, believe in Me, anyway! (2015:103)

Cling to that faith, and let it install some new strength in you, larger than your previous own strength!
Behave a bit more victoriously now, trusting in Me more, that Ill help you to make it, for its a necessary faith and positive
attitude youll need to help you overcome the evil that the even by far rougher times up ahead will have to offer!
Acting victoriously means, youll know by faith that Ill win the ultimate victory, and by believing it, youll be one of the
victors, too.
Fight and make a greater effort for keeping the victory, and the faith that the party above you belong to is way superior and
mightier, and will turn out to be the winning side. (2015:104)

Can you take what youre having to go through, by faith? Faith that We still know best what to put you through in order to
prepare you for whats coming up ahead? Trust Me that these times right now are still comparatively easy, even though
you cant stand to live very much with the spirits of the place around you (2015:105)

You need to trust in and count on Me to help you to make it

If you believe in Us in Heaven, why would you not rely on Our help?
Just trust Me that Ill take care of you, which is also better in the long run than having the enemys system supply your
needs.
Putting your trust fully in Me is My will for you, even if the system is offering services that seem to make it more attractive.
(2015:108)

Faith is going to be the power to help others to make it, and if faith comes from the Word, what youre receiving should be
a big help to others in times to come
339
Sometimes you have to look and see whether youll make it somehow, just trusting in Me even if theres not one else left
to rely on. (2015:109)

Have more faith in Me, that I can help you overcome the difficulties, and that its not the state of the world that will see you
through, but your relationship with Me!
Things have been going down for you since quite a few years in the system, and it should teach you to put your main trust
in Me and your help from Above.
Make your faith in Me and your supply from Above the most important and significant factor!
After all, who gives life in the first place? - The mechanical functions of the system, or your God and Creator?
If the latter is your faith and belief, continue to trust and lean on to it, and not what the system is teaching its subjects to
believe!
Let your faith overcome all your fears and worries, and let it become larger and stronger than all the enemys attacks! Let it
be according to your faith that My Power is larger and stronger than the devils, and that, using it, youll be part of Us
winners in the end. His power may be or seem like the superior down there right now, but trust Me that its only right now!
(2015:110)

Let what life has to give you strengthen your trust in Me by asking Me for help and appreciating it when it comes.
You can make it! Otherwise, if you couldnt, what good would your faith in Me do for you? And what would appeal to others
about it? So, fight for getting all the help from Above you can, so that others can gain a little hope from it, too!
It takes a lot of faith and trust in the Father and Me that We know why Were allowing it to happen to you.
Have faith and trust in something better coming up, eventually! (2015:111)

You dont have to be perfect or a sinless saint in order to receive something from Me. Youve just got to have the faith that I
love to communicate with My followers and disciples, even if theyre not perfect. (2015:113)

Trust in Me and the Father, that We know what Were allowing to happen to you. Believe that We know best! (2015:114)

It all depends a lot on whether you still manage to believe that We know whats right and best for you and humanity, or you
keep letting the devil continue to persuade you that youd be smarter, such as he tends to believe about himself.
Just put as much trust as you can in the belief that We know what Were doing or allowing, and that its all going to turn
out as a main better option.
Thats why trust is a major item for you to study from what Ive given you! Can you trust that I know better than you would,
in what Im allowing to happen in your life? It may not always be what you would have chosen for yourself, but can you
trust Me that Ive made the ultimately better choice for you, and will be the best thing for you to go through in your life
even if it may be a little difficult at first? (2015:116)

Dont let the circumstances drag you down, but keep believing that no matter how bleak things will turn out in this world
temporarily, Ive got it in My hands and so does the Father that everything will turn out alright. (2015:118)

To keep leaning on Me instead of on the help of that system is simply much more of a life of faith faith in Me, instead of
the system, which doesnt originate from Me!
I know there are many who would recommend for you to stay there, but its pretty much the choice to make whether to
trust more in people, or in Me.
Trusting in Me instead of the system just brings greater rewards along, trust Me for that! (2015:120)

I know, its difficult to believe that youre still blessed and taken care of by Me when things happening to you are treating
you in such a what youd consider rough way. But then, faith is a matter of the ability to see the positive even in spite of
negative appearances of your circumstances; and seeing the good and the positive within the apparently bad that hits you
is one of the great and important things that you should let faith teach you.
Dont just be knocked out by the circumstances, but see Me behind them, and believe that Im still in charge and control of
everything, in spite of them! (2015:121)

The most important thing is that you gear your life back to living by faith once again, and dont rely too much on the
physical and financial parts of it all.
Make your Home beyond your temporal stay down there your goal, and the Place you gear your vision and hope to,
knowing by faith that its a lot better than anything expecting you down there.
The true Home where it pays to stay is Ours. Trust Me: youll agree when you get Here!
Have a little bit of trust that Im going to see you through!
Sow to the eternal, not just that temporal phase, which may be here today, but will be eventually gone tomorrow, even if
the world may pretend and seek to get you to believe that its all there is and ever will be. Well, but thats where faith
comes in, and where it makes the big difference!
Not to sow it all to whats here today, gone tomorrow, but have faith in a much more fruitful Hereafter, thats where ones
meaning of life should lie who believes in Me and what Ive promised to come.
I know its a bit tough to believe in that when all you perceived by folks around you seem to be the temporal matters of the
present, but, hey thats where you can make a big difference, by somehow having them manage to perceive what you
believe in is there waiting for them that believe in Me.

340
Let it all strengthen your faith! And the more you manage to let it grow, the more will its fruits grow before you even if
youve seen it fail at times beforehand. But, hey, things wont always stay the same! Have a bit more faith in Me and My
ability to reward your faith in Me and not constantly wind up disappointing you!
I can do it! It all depends a bit more on the strength of your faith you put in Me and My Promises.
Got a little bit of patience to wait for Me to put on My action and wait by faith for Me to keep My Promises? (2015:122)

Thats what we had to work on re-building your faith for: so that you could come up with sufficient belief and faith in the
fact that We can save you even when your life has become a mess!
So, trust and believe that We can save your situation and clear up the mess you got yourself in, proving to you that the
Power from Above is and always will be much greater than whatever you can manage to come up with by yourself!
Its not your carnal abilities you used to rely on more in the past that will strengthen others confidence and trust in you,
but positive faith in Me and the fruits of it visible in your life, behavior and action that they can see.
Considering Heaven as a more reliable source of help and support is sort of part of that faith youre supposed to have in
Us, since Were going to have to support you when the situation in the world wont do it anymore.
Let the experience serve you as one that is going to strengthen you in your faith and confidence in Us, your help from
Above. In any case you should get into the gear of confiding and trusting mostly in Me and your help from Above!
Try to take whatever comes and what fate hits you as something Ill help you to manage and surpass somehow. It may just
strengthen your faith and trust in Me some more, and youll realize eventually that its going to be the best and most
important thing that could happen in your life.
I can help you to make it! Trust Me for that?
If you believe in Me as a Performer of miracles, you might as well expect them to happen for you! Well, as you may
remember, during My time on earth I did a few miracles, which also was one of the main reasons why folks believed in Me!
So, if you believe in Me, you might as well expect miracles to happen from and through Me, too, even if Im not around
anymore physically, but I promised My believers that theyd be able to perform miracles through Me or the Power from
Above, too!
So, expect miracles! You might as well keep it in mind and keep believing and trying to put into action! If you believe in a
God of miracles, you might as well believe in performing them. (2015:125)

When you cant just rely on yourself anymore, but realize you need Me in order to make it, trust Me that thats a far better
and safer condition to make it through whats to come.
Self-reliance may be what the system teaches its pupils is something good, but when it comes down to it, youll find out
youll be much better off trusting more in Me and your help from Above. (2015:126)

Cling to your faith! And let it be more important than the other factors in your life! If youre being plagued by worries and
fears, it just shows that your faith isnt exactly yet what its supposed to be, and thats something youve still got to work
on and fight for! Overcome the enemy in your life, and all the worries and fears hes trying to sow into your life, and
replace them with faith and trust in Me as the superior One!
You dont find much hope and strength in the physical conditions your family or friends, or current situation. But that
just shows and proves that youve got to put all that faith in Me and your help from Above.
I know, its a bit of a mighty challenge, but is your faith what its supposed to be, or not? Can you manage to trust in Me
to help you overcome all the troubles youre having to encounter in your life? What else would I be good for, if I couldnt?
Your faith and trust will be whatll have to pull you through, and not your own abilities!
Life may not be as easy as it used to be, but trust Me that Ill help and see you through it, anyway, and let that faith and
trust grow so that itll help you overcome all your fears and worries that the times that will come might tempt you with and
throw at you! Keep trusting in Me and the fact that I wont let you down!
I love you and want you to trust in Me to help you through whats to come! (2015:128)

Just take whats coming at you, and yield to the Fathers will, trusting fully in the fact that He knows best what you really
need and could handle the most. Amen? Trust that He knows best! (2015:129)

Trust Me that the more you depend on Me, the better the outcomes going to be!
Trusting in and depending on My Power and Strength to do things through you is definitely something positive!
Keep your trust in Me and the Father (as well as the Mother), that We know whats best for you, and that youll turn out
accordingly! (2015:132)

Put your trust and confidence in Me, knowing that if anythings supposed to get done and accomplished that will last and
bring forth everlasting fruit, itll have to be through Me. (2015:133)

Now, that would be faith: to see a good reason for something Im allowing to happen to you, that you cannot see any good
in Maybe its a spanking; maybe its a measure to prevent something worse Maybe a bit of both of them Maybe
another test of faith, making you wonder how a God of Love can allow something like this to happen to one of His
children...
Well, definitely a test of the faith in a God of Love, since its a bit hard to understand how or why a God Whos supposed to
be Love would allow something awful happen to you.
Yes, its a strong test of faith! Can you believe in such a God, allowing this, to be a God of Love, anyway?

341
It might be good to be able to keep the faith in His Love, even with bad things happening to you, because there will be even
worse things happening to this world, making you doubt and wonder all the more, unless you manage to keep your faith
anyway, even if you couldnt possibly understand why Your Creator is allowing certain things to happen to you.
Can you make it through such tests of faith and still believe that the Father loves you?
do you still manage to have faith in Us, anyway? Still believe that We love you, even though Were allowing things to
happen to you that you consider gross, and an awful lack of love on the surface?
Okay, so, its quite a test of faith, and similar to the one that Job had to go through, and maybe its a comfort that there
used to be someone else having to go through something similar. Well, he obviously lived a better life afterwards, and
maybe you can keep your faith and vision pointed toward that: a better Hereafter.
See the good future coming at you through faith, and let it be the most helpful job your faith has ever done for you, to help
you make it through some times of pain and suffering!
Can you trust Us, that We know what Were doing by permitting your having to go through tough times?
Keep hanging in there and give us another chance to prove that We know what Were doing or permitting? Now, that would
be faith, the way We know it from Job and Jonah, along with others whove had to go through rough times, but didnt take
it as an excuse to quit.
Even if things dont seem like guaranteeing very much that youll make it through them, if you can trust in the Father and
Me, anyway, itll be a victory, rather than a defeat!
So, dont worry too much, but trust that Well make it through you, and thus, youll make it through Us!
If life seems a bit of a mess, dont worry too much, or doubt that Were not in control of things down there, even if at times
it may seem as if Were not. Faith wouldnt be faith if it wouldnt require a bit to believe in Us and trust Us that Well make
it even for guys like you! (2015:135)

I know you dont feel very good about it all but it doesnt depend on your mood as much as on Me and your ability to
count on Me your faith! So, let it grow stronger by applying for and leaning on your help from Above more than ever
before! Let your faith get back into Me and help from Above, instead of your own talents and abilities! (2015:136)

You have to learn how to trust in Me, and dont let those worries and fears take you over! (2015:137)

To rely more on Me and your help from above is a testing of your faith, but as far as the future of the world is concerned,
youll only make it through the help from Above!
Have a little trust in Me that I can help you make it,
even though youre feeling physically weak! Trust more in Me than in your own strength, and youll discover that thats
whats going to help you make it!
Its good to believe in Me as what I am, and not what some spirits tell those that came to their belief in Me through some
congregation, and to whom material values are still one of the most important things in life!
Believe and trust as much as you can, and Ill do all I can to help you, as much as youll believe in it that I will! (2015:138)

Troubled times draw you closer to Me and strengthen your trust in Me.
Simply put your trust much more in Me than in your own abilities! Trust in Me! Not your own abilities!
Thanks for trusting Me for your future, that I and the Father know what Were doing, and that youre in good hands,
accordingly.
Trust Me that its good to become desperate and become familiar with the fact that you need help from Above, eventually
pretty much permanently, because theyre going to be tough times.
Doesnt it make you feel a bit ashamed to allow less than perfect circumstances to drag you down to a level of disbelief
and self-pity? - Something you might wind up being quite ashamed of, because you didnt have the strength to keep
believing and hang on faithfully
Someday youll be more sorry for the way youre failing this test of faith than the feelings of disappointment youre
experiencing right now, instead of holding on to your faith in a more victorious manner! (2015:140)

Just keep that bit of faith you have, and dont let the enemy snap it away from you with his negative attacks! Youll realize
someday that the fight and the battle to hang and hold on to it will have been worth it, and worth more than what those get
out of life who turn their backs on Us and dont feel like going this way of faith all the way to the end.
Keep trusting in Me, and that Ill help you make it! Put all your trust in Me and your heavenly Help, and youll be grateful in
the end for having made the right decision and the choice for the proper path!
The life of faith may be quite a challenge, but youll see in the end that it will have been worth it for its reward!
Keep hanging on to Me, and trusting more in Me and your heavenly help, and youll see: We wont let you down!
When you cant be the chief and in control of everything thats happening, well, its a good situation to go by faith in the
Father and Me again, not the rhythm of your own self-confidence.
Having to trust in Us as different and unusual as it may be compared to just trusting in yourself, will turn out to be the
ultimately safest road to take. (2015:141)

Making the right choice between luck here and now and true happiness there and then is what faith is all about. And
blessed are those who manage to put their trust in Me for the There and Then
It basically all depends on whether you keep putting your faith in the Hereafter and the There and Then or the here and
now and whatever temporal gimmicks it has to offer. (2015:142)

342
Keep trusting that I know what Im doing and permitting, and the hard times going to make a better person out of you than
if I would have allowed life to keep spoiling you.
Trust Me that the tough times are going to make you better in the long run, even if at present you dont feel much like it!
Take it by faith that what youre going through and learning right now will help you make it through the different times to
come the harder times. (2015:144)

Dont know how to make it through the times to come?

Through faith youll miraculously make it somehow!
Believing in something better, a better Home waiting for you, may take a lot of faith, but thats quite an important and basic
topic and part of a meaningful life.
Keep trusting in Me, and youll see! Ill bring greater strength to thee.
Just look forward to the good times up ahead that will make everything worth it youre going through, and you should
manage it. It just depends on how strong your faith is! So, keep holding and hanging on to that, and focus less on the
parts of life causing you pain and making you doubt!
Just believe in and cling your faith to those Promises and good news Im giving you, even if the enemy keeps trying to
divert you and draw your attention to things going wrong right now, mainly due to him and the power of influence hes
been given, largely due to the choices of the majority of people.
Just make the right choices: to believe and trust in Me and keep walking in the confidence of My Words to you, that
everything will be alright!
Can you believe Me for that, even if things around you may not seem to look quite that way? Well, thats why faith is so
important: to make you believe in more than just the things you can see with your eyes! Trust Me that therell be more,
much more to behold when your current theme on earth is done.
Cling to Me, and pitch your faith unto Me, and dont be cast down so easily by visible things, or those you need to endure
physically! Theres more and something much better expecting you. Can you believe Me for that? (2015:145)

Its good to have faith and believe in something better waiting on you after that earthly life; and the best thing one can do
during it is to share that whats awaiting believers with as many others as you can! (2015:147)

Theres something a whole lot better awaiting this world, even if it takes some faith to be able to look forward to it. But as
youve experienced, that faith is also rewarded by a much more pleasant path throughout your life. Just when you neglect
those spiritual principles like your faith and hope and love, I have to allow things to happen that remind you of what state
the world is in.
Its so important to strengthen your faith in the World beyond that one youre living in right now, and strengthen your
vision on whats to come.
Youve been believing in It for a long time, but when it comes to a physical down part, it seems to be influencing you more
than your faith in better things to come is able to.
Put first things first! - Lean on the Spirit, instead of the flesh!
Just have the faith that I can help you do it! (2015:148)

Youve got to base your feelings and sentiments on your faith and confidence in Me!
Try to focus and keep your vision toward Up Here, all by faith!
Ive had to let things raise up your faith in Me again, instead of largely your own abilities!
Share what youve got, and the faith that Im trying to re-strengthen in you with as many others as you can!
Let your faith in Me and the Father and all of Heavens Power refill you with courage and boldness!
Our strength will reveal itself as much greater than the opposing one, even if theirs may be showing off right now with how
they pretty much took over the globe!
But dont you have the faith that We are much greater and much more powerful, anyway? If not, fight to revive that faith!
We can do anything! They cant, even if they may fake it a bit to make it seem like that. Just keep your faith in the fact
that Our strength is much more powerful and greater, and Well wind up winning the battle and spiritual war in the end!
Just start trusting in the fact again that Our strength is much greater, and that Were ultimately superior, even if currently
theyve got their big show-off time down there! Let your faith keep that vision in you clear of what things in the Spirit are
really like Whos the true Creator and will be the final Winner!
The reason for living: Winning others over Here, where the true life unfolds, even if it may take faith to believe in it, with the
devil doing all he can to destroy it.
Learn how to accept by faith whatever assaults you go through and seem to make life harder for you! (2015:149)

Have faith for miracles! And theyll happen for you, and youll be able to make them happen!
Whats important is, that you place your trust in Me, just keep trusting in Me! (2015:150)

When things start to get difficult, thats the time to really put your trust in Me!
When you cant trust in the physical conditions anymore, well, thats the phase to put your faith and trust on higher
ground!
Have some faith in Me, that as that world doesnt have that side-track on you anymore, Ill be able to use you more!
All things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23), so just believe and make it possible! Thats why its also so important
to keep feeding and raising your faith! Just keep your vision on the goal thats important in a followers life, and keep
trusting in My Strength that makes nothing impossible for you! (2015:151)

343
Keep applying for help from Up Here in other words, make your faith grow!
Put your faith into practice that in theory has been telling you for a long time that the spirits above the flesh!
In other words, put more trust in Me than the stuff you can see all around you!
You shouldnt make your life so dependent on all the visible and physical things, but use your faith in the physically
unseen Spirit World more, and learn how to let it play a greater part in your life!
Dont let the visible parts of the world play the main role in your life, but Our Spiritual Source, through your faith Make
your faith in the Hereafter and Our Power grow, and the distractions from the here and now subside! Let that faith play the
role in your life thats the leading role it was supposed to all along, without letting all the physical, carnal and material
things and aspects take over the main parts! (2015:152)

Not being able to make quite full sense of whats going on around you puts you in a stronger mode of putting more of your
trust and confidence in Me the fact that you cant just make it by yourself and in your own strength and wisdom
anymore.
Trust Me that its a good way of preparation to replace self-confidence with dependence on Me.
Your faith will become the most important force in your life, which is why I keep reminding you of its importance so
vehemently. (2015:153)

That comfortable place you lived in made you feel a bit too much at home in a world thats not your home, according to the
faith of being one of My called out disciples (2015:155)

Trust Me that your chance to make it through the rough times to come will be much higher than the systems ways of
putting most of their trust and confidence in their capacities! In the end, it will turn out that leaning on Me will have been
the better choice, even if on its way to the end, the enemy will still do all he can to make it seem quite different, and even
the opposite. But thats where faith and trust in Me come in.
Youll need it more and more as time goes on, until it stops and Ill be back, and youll know that you made the right choice
to put your trust in Me instead of your own capabilities and whatever the enemy would offer in return. (2015:156)

If youre having to go through a tougher period of life, learn to make it through it as content, thankful and peaceful as you
can! After all: isnt that what faith in Me should help you to do?
Itll definitely be the factor that will make others curious about, and interested in what youd have to offer!
If thats not what you manage to get out of your faith, not too many folks might be too interested in it that you have!
Thats faith: to learn to accept what life has to offer you in a good way, not murmuring about whatevers not perfect! Got to
go through tough things? Well, take it by faith!
Just have a little more faith to bear with it thats confronting you right now, knowing that theres got to be some reason for
Us allowing it.
What Were allowing to happen to you will ultimately turn out to be the best, even if it may seem a bit hard for you
temporarily!
Itll strengthen your faith, once you learn how to take and deal with whatever We allow life to bring and have you face it!
Trusting in Us, the Father and Me, that We know what Were doing and allowing, now thats what I call faith!
Its easy to have it when everythings rosy and going the way youd expect it to and hope for. But dealing with times that
arent perfectly the way youd expect them, well, thats what not only tests your faith, but also strengthens it, the way it
ought to be. Because the tougher the times to come, the stronger your faith better be!
Dont let the strengthening of your faith strike you as something negative, but deal with it and handle it the way a true
believer ought to!
Were getting you ready for the ultimate battle!
Keep your vision on the ultimate victory, and through faith you know that itll all be worth it! Amen?
Can you deal with, handle and take by faith whats a bit less than perfect and still trust Me that what Im allowing in your
life is always going to be the best you need and ought to learn how to handle? (2015:157)

Trust Me that I know just fine what Im doing and permitting to happen with you?
Needing help from Above is what will strengthen your faith in it and Us the most! So, just trust and confide in Us and
that Well help you to make it, and thatll give many others some faith to make it through the difficult times coming, too.
Consider your weakness the beginning of true strength! Dont see it as a negative, but have the faith to see your weakness
as a positive! (2015:158)

When what they can see is all they believe in, well, thats the difference that faith makes.
Not just going by whats visible is an advantage of faith, so cling to it as much as you can!
If you avail yourself of Our help and might, youll make it! Thats My Promise, and you know that you can believe in it, that I
keep Mine.
Make it through your days through faith in Our help and support, even if youre aware of the fact that you couldnt make it
by yourself.
Trust in Me, that everythings under divine control and you dont have to worry too much! (2015:159)

Once youll see the things happening Ive been preparing you for, your faith is bound to grow to the extend it ought to.
(2015:160)

344
Coming to the conclusion that you cannot count on anything or anybody down there fully, should serve you as a reminder
that youd better put your full trust, confidence and expectations in Me and your help from Up Here Humans are fallible,
including yourself, and thats why its a whole lot better to place your trust and expectations Up Here, instead of down
there.
Walk by faith, not by sight (2.Cor.5:7) is what you might want to keep in mind.
Walking by faith is a lot more in co-ordinance with the times coming up to face.
Gearing your spiritual sight toward Our Fathers Kingdom takes more faith faith thats not being encouraged by what the
world around you has to show forth, but shouldnt it encourage you to have it more strengthened towards the things from
Above and out of this world? I mean, thats what faith is supposedly all about: believing in the existence of something
superior to all that you see around you.
Turn your focus more toward that, which according to your faith is so much better and more lasting than those temporal,
physical surroundings!
Your actions will need correction, if you dont learn to correct them otherwise. That may be one of the disadvantages of
being a child of God, from human viewpoints, but at least you just have to go through them in the temporal here and now,
and not in the longer lasting there and then
And you can trust Me for that! The Father wouldnt be much of a God of Love, if it would be otherwise; so keep your faith in
that fact you used to believe in and be convinced of, and dont let the differing doctrines of others drag you down! Just see
it as another test of faith, and make an effort to pass that test and keep on believing in a God of Love, not one that will
curse you with everlasting hellfire even though youve received Me, just because you didnt manage to be perfect during
your earthly life!
Be thankful for the different kind of faith I bestowed on you instead!
If your faith and belief in Heaven hereafter would be so shaky and insecure do you think thats the kind of thing a God
Who is supposedly Love would make believers go through?
Believe in a merciful God! Thatll be the sort of faith to attract others more, as well.
The ones who sowed your faith in Us lowered down to make sure that faith and reliance on Our help would grow, because
youll need it more than ever in the near future.
Not being thankful for the faith that has been sown in you wouldnt be thankful. Now, having received that thought from
Above, you think you manage to be?
Life has a lot of mysteries. But seeking Me about them will help you solve them.
It all depends on peoples faith in My abilities of communication with them in other words, how real and strong their faith
in Me really is. (2015:161)

Have some hope and faith in Me, that Ill take care of you the way I have, and even though some trouble hit you, believing
Me that Ill still do, and that Ill see you through times to come!
Just look a bit more upward and have some faith and courage that I will not forsake you!
Most people have their tough parts in life to go through; why shouldnt you manage, having heavenly helpers that most
people dont even know about or believe in?
Okay, so its a test of faith, too but you can tell by now that faith isnt something that always stays on the same level, but
sometimes has to be made stronger and needs to grow, and sometimes needs to be tested to see or show how real it is.
Tough times can test your faith in a God of Love But if its a tough test now, how much tougher do you think it will be
with the big troubles on Earth coming?
It will either be strengthened, that faith, during the hard and tough times, or wiped out and pulled away! So, Id say, do
some hard fighting and resisting the enemy, in order to keep it alive and growing, instead of slipping away! Amen?
Lean your faith on Me and all help from Above, not your own strengths and capacities you leaned on before! (2015:162)

Learn how to handle what life brings with a good amount of trust that I and the Father know what Were permitting! And
even if its becoming rougher as time goes on, just trust and confide in Our goodness and Love, that it all will have a
positive outcome and ending!
I know its a bit harder to trust and believe in Our Love when bad things are happening, and its quite a test of faith, but do
all you can to keep believing anyway, and youll see, it will have been the right thing to do!
Its part of the reason folks were told about the impending trouble long before: to get ready and prepared for it, and not let
it damage your faith and trust in Us. Just take it all that comes at you, as victoriously and cheerfully as you can, no matter
how hard, trusting that whats to come afterwards will make up for it all.
Maybe a little hard to believe, but well, thats what faith is all about. Just let it and your confidence in Us keep growing,
no matter how steeply down the drift of the world will go! Continue to trust us, even if the enemy will tempt you to quit
trusting with the evil hes the one bringing into the world! Keep on trusting!
There were times when you were filled with strength according to the need. And even though you may not feel that capable
anymore right now, it doesnt mean that We arent anymore, to fill you with It! Just let that faith grow again, and make that
prayer work, asking for whatever strength you need! (2015:163)

If youre not really sure how to make it, just cling to and trust in Me, that Im going to help you make it somehow, no matter
how impossible it seems!
No more trusting in your own capacities to supply whatever you need, but gear that trust Up Here, toward Me and all of
Heaven!
The more you do, the more miracles will happen, and the more your faith and inspiration will grow, including that of telling
others about them and the faith that makes them happen!

345
Thatll be what will arouse other folks interest and curiosity about your faith as well, just as it did during My time on earth,
that of My disciples and certainly will in the dark times to come!
In whom do you think its ultimately better to put your trust? In your own abilities, or Ours from Above?
Yes, it may be true that life is tougher than before, and it may put your faith to a greater test than ever But if you can
keep it, that faith, in spite of any of the negative physical circumstances you may wind up in now thats what I call faith!
Even if you had to suffer a stroke from the enemy that tore you down to the lowest point ever of your life: managing to
cope with it and keeping your faith in Us in spite of it, along with learning all the lessons involved, you can see the
significance of Gods way Up is down.
Its not easy to go through some castigation and dealing from Up Above with your faults and sins, but trust Me, that in the
end youll see the positive result!
Miracles will strengthen your faith and keep you going forward, up ahead! So, dont allow the enemy to weaken your faith
and trust for them to happen as they did for you in the past! The more you believe in miracles, the more theyll continue to
happen for you! (2015:164)

Set your course Uphill, Here in the direction of where I and the Father are, along with Our angels, and those who believed
and passed on to be Up Here. Sure a little hard to believe these days, when its all by faith; and the world has produced
so many visible proves of what they want you to believe in
But thats what faith is: belief not based on what you can see or is visible. - Just based on My Word. You manage to believe
that? Just keep trying! Itll be worth it, youll see! (2015:165)

A lot depends on your faith, and whether youre using it and the strength from Above at your disposal, in order to get and
stay in the victory!
Youve got to cling to the victory youre supposed to claim through faith, and hang on to it, no matter what rough times
you have to make it through! Just trust in My strength and help being powerful enough for you to make it through any sort
of situation! (2015:166)

What you need is faith and trust in Me, instead of fear and worry.
Try to make it through every day with a trusting heart- and mind-set!
Just look toward Me with faith and trust!
Put more of your trust in the spiritual side of things, which includes Me, the Father, and well the whole lasting
dimension, as opposed to the fading one youre currently in, physically. Of course, it takes faith; but youve also made
some experiences by faith that strengthen it, whereas the negative experiences should make you realize how unreliable
the physical world is, in the end since it has been taken over by the evil forces, due to peoples choices.
The more your faith grows, in My Power and all from Up Here, instead of what the enemy has to offer down there, the more
youll be on the right wavelength leading you in the right direction.
That kind of faith will also help you make it through the hard times up ahead (2015:167)

When you believe in something like the creation of all things through an invisible God, it sort of makes sense why you
dont fit in there. According to them, you must be crazy because of what you believe and not believing what the schools,
TVs and movies teach, along with a bunch of books
Not an easy road, as a believer in something the majority of the worlds population absolutely doesnt believe
Then again for you, what you believe is the only thing that somewhat gives some sense to your existence, even if its
crazy, according to the majority of the population of the world. (2015:168)

Now, that would be faith and trust: If you wont have a clue how on earth to make it through the times to come, but would
just continue to rely on Me and would just let Me help you make it, without depending on anything else: your own
abilities, support from the state, or whatever just let your trust in Me do it for you! Now, that would be a testimony, and a
true statement and example of faith!
Not leaning on any of your old abilities that kept you through in times past but just relying on Me Now, that would be
faith!
You may not know everything thats going to happen in fact, not much of anything but, hey: thats what faith and trust
are all about, just confiding in Me to handle your lives dedicated to Me; and somehow Ill see you through. Even though
youre not stuck to, and thus led and upheld by the system surrounding you well, doesnt that sound a lot more like a life
of faith?
It takes a bit of a bigger faith to believe a Creator of an incredibly large universe, with different dimensions on top and
then still able to communicate with comparatively tiny human beings (2015:170)

Have more faith and less worries!

Strengthen the gift of the Spirit of faith and trust a bit more
To get a bit of input per day from Me should do something to strengthen your spirit and faith.
Sometimes the news you receive from the eternal Dimension dont seem to make that much sense to your temporal world
and situation but the closer you get to Our Side of the Spirit, the more youll be able to grasp of it all, Our input We give
you! Until then, just take it by faith! Amen?
With faith in Me, and having received Me as your Saviour, you can always be sure that the Hereafter, your new Home after
this life, and your existence There, will be better than what youve had to go through on earth before My Return. So,
something to look forward to, no matter how dreadful or not-so-hot your earthly life has, or will have been. (2015:171)

346
Just be comforted to know by faith that theres Something better awaiting you! (2015:177)

Why not focus a bit more on the good news that faith in Me has to offer? (2015:179)

You should know Whom you really ought to trust! (2015:180)

Trust in and lean on Me and all help from Above!

Let the receptive people youll meet know whats to expect for those who are willing to have a little faith in more than what
theyre able to see and perceive around them.
One more thing faith is needed for: helping you to take things the way they come, even if not at all what so far youve been
used to!
Another reason to keep your faith growing as much as you can; seeing itll be even much more needed than ever before in
times to come! (2015:181)

Your only hope is what the belief in Me promises folks after the current life of yours down there.
And the doubts try to tell you that its just wishful thinking
So its a rough one to believe and yet the only thing that gives you hope for a Hereafter and sense and meaning to it
all.
folks who dont believe in Us, dont believe in spirits, and the other dimension where spirits dwell a higher one than the
physical one, which is why We can see you, but you cant see Us And it would be so much easier to have faith in
something thats visible, right? But, wait: visible things and creatures dont require faith to accept their existence and
pretty much everyone would know Whos the Boss
Its true, it may make faith a little tougher to have with no visible proofs of Our existence, but then again If its true
what We said, there will be the visible proof of all Our existence coming soon, and that faith will be rewarded then.
So, can you still believe it, that itll be worth it to hang on to your faith in this relatively tough battle for the sake of your
faith, to hold on to the belief in sense and purpose behind it all, and beyond it all thats visible, even if there are only few
who believe in it the way you do?
A little hard to believe in when you look around but then, its supposed to be faith in Something you cant see right now
with your eyes. But can you believe in It by faith? Faith in something greater than that visible world has to offer right now?
Thats what faith supposedly really is: Not going by what you can see! So, put your faith more over Here, in My physically
invisible Realm, and all I can tell you is: you wont regret it! Have some real faith, and put it Up Here, into Me, and the World
I came to offer to believers in your temporal one!
Believe in Something Better than what surrounds you down there! (2015:182)

It depends a bit on your faith, whether you firmly believe that We Up Here are having things under Our control, even if
Were temporarily allowing the enemy to run things down there according to his plans.
Just remember wholl be the ultimate Winners, even if it seems like hes in control down there right now. Just have the
faith that his controls only temporal, and that Were going to be the ultimate Winners and Rulers and, hey: since youre
with Us, and on Our side, youll be part of the ultimate winning and ruling Team, too!
Keep your trust in Me, and that Ill hold you up, and wont let you down! Keep the faith!
Trust Me that Ill help you make it somehow! (2015:183)

If you can keep your faith up enough to believe that the Hereafter will be more positive, dont allow the current
circumstances to drag you down so much!
Faith is all about believing in things and beings Above, even if you cant seeem! And part of faith is the purpose of
treasuring the invisible the Spirit above the visible: the flesh and physical material!
It takes a bit of faith to believe that what Weve got to offer hereafter is even a lot better than what youve seen and
experienced down there.
Keep the level of your faith up and keep expecting the better to come hereafter, even if so far, you cannot see it yet
which makes it faith, not being geared to just what you can see!
Gear your life a bit more according to your faith and the higher values youre supposed to believe in: love as the main
force, instead of selfishness!
Become more of a sample of what you believe in, than just a sermon through preaching it!
Its easier to put your faith in words than into action. So, why not try the latter for a change, even if its a challenge? Live it,
instead of just preaching it! Amen?
Even though your past was more beautiful than the present, just know by faith that your ultimate future will be even more
gorgeous and beautiful than the best times in your life youve ever had.
So, may it strengthen your faith, optimism and future vision that whats to come is definitely better and more positive than
what youre about to have to let go! (2015:184)

It takes a lot of faith to believe and have a positive attitude making something positive out of a seemingly negative
incident. But thats how faith works: not believing in the visible strengths, but accepting the physically invisible Realm as
the mightier one than what the enemy can cook up down there. (2015:185)

Try to make it through faith! Trust in Me and keep your hopes and outlooks on Me, knowing that I wont let you down.
Just keep looking Up ahead by faith to the new and much better Home awaiting you!
Trust and rely on Me! (2015:186)
347
Have a little bit of trust that We Up Here know what Were doing, and youll benefit from it, even if it may not look or seem
all that positive at the moment!
Therell be a lot of negative in that world, but staying positive, anyway, as a believer, thats what the art of faith is all about!
The art of faith converts seemingly negative incidents into positive levels. (2015:187)

It takes faith to believe in Heaven, and look forward to It. But once youre Here, youll be thankful you made it, to keep on
believing in what down there you couldnt see, but only perceive by faith.
Thats what makes faith so special and precious (2015:190)

When you dont know how things for you are going to continue, thats a good opportunity to start taking each step by faith.
Dont know how things are going to work out? Take a step of faith and trust Me for the outcome!
Dont take it all for granted, but take it by faith instead! I know its rough. But thats how faith and trust in Me are growing
stronger: going through rough times, learning to put full trust and confidence in the Father and Me for whats happening!
You dont know yet how youre going to manage and make it barely making it where you are right now, and trusting in Me
that somehow, by faith, youll make it over there Well, learning to take things by faith is a good step!
Take it by faith!
Growing older teaches believers to appreciate what according to their faith comes after that life during which things just
fade away. (2015:191)

Were trying to boost the chosen ones faith in the invisible.

Physical weakness is Our strength, as its already saying in the Bible!
So, finding out you cant do it in the flesh, but will be making it through the Spirit, ought to raise your faith a lot! (2015:193)

Will you be a loser or a winner? For the latter, you ultimately have to trust in Me!
Tune in to Me, and keep growing in faith and truth!
Whether youre gonna make it or not, largely depends on your trust and confidence in Us Who can help you to make it
through whatever challenging times and conditions confront you!
Not knowing how youre going to cope with new challenges youre having to face, means to keep trying to make it by faith;
since thats the very same thing thats going to be necessary during the dark days to come!
Keep trusting in Me, and not that your own grade of organization and capability will manage!
Sorry things are getting so tough for you! But it means youve got to raise that faith, in order to put up with more of whats
coming from the other side! Get stronger! Raise your faith! And let it grow! (2015:194)

Even though youre still tempted to keep wondering, How am I supposed to get stronger when Im weak? in the end,
thats what faith and trust in Me, My Word and My Promises will lead you to: to realize that what Ive been saying wasnt
wrong, but the truth, and worth more than what the devil and the current state of the world would ever have to offer even
if the number of offers may have increased a lot. In the end, youll find out how much more worth little can be than a lot
from the wrong source!
Go a bit more by what you cant see which is exactly what faith is supposed to do! (2015:195)

See that situations can arise to make you need and require a bit more faith and trust in Me? Especially, the more you
realize how little humans are turning out to be reliable. (2015:197)

Have a little faith and trust in Me, and make an effort to deal and cope with the test of faith, test of patience, and the test of
whatever amount of rough and tough circumstances you can make it through and put up with!
Ready for making your faith become a bit stronger, instead of letting it grow weaker? (2015:198)

Trust and believe that the Father and I are capable of creating something better than that temporal world around you!
I know it takes you a lot of faith to accept and receive what life is currently handing you. So, consider it a test of your faith
in order to find out whether youll make it, whether your faith will survive those hard times and even harder ones to come!
(2015:201)

The attitude of faith I appreciate and that teaches you the sense of life: to be accepting what life brings and offers you,
instead of complaining about it and failing to see Our Love and Wisdom in it.
Life isnt easy, as it is I know that. But as long as you can accept it and receive things the way they go, anyway, to Me,
thats a true sign of faith! (2015:202)

Remember the enemy always trying to prove to you that what Im saying is wrong; but that just depends on your level of
faith whether you believe in Me, and what Im saying, or his input, which you ought to know by know, consists pretty
much of lies. (2015:204)

To stay positive, even when struck by the negative, thats a sign of true and lasting faith! Knowing that the trials and
testings of your faith are all part of it is something you ought to be familiar with by now, and not just in theory, but be used
to them happening in practice and making it stronger, not weaker. (2015:208)

348
Youve got to trust Me more for your future than the money you manage to save up! In general, trusting Me is the quite
spiritually healthier option! Think you manage to put that trust in Me, instead of the dough?
Somehow We ought to be able to prove that Were able to live up to Our Promises of supply in the Bible, dont you think?
And making your faith - in Us, instead of the cash grow, is whats going to see you through the rough times up ahead,
nothing else, trust Me!
So, if these rough times draw you closer to Us and make you more dependent on your faith, its definitely more of a step
forward than backward. (2015:217)

The more lasting part of what you are and will continue to be when that carnal, earthly life is over, in the much more lasting
Thereafter, is all by faith, I know, and to some folks it doesnt mean much, because they just dont happen to have much of
it, but if you can trust and believe Me for it, that it happens to be one of the most important factors in your life, you might
eventually get the point and give it greater importance and commitment than folks around you dedicate to nothing but their
earthly existence.
Manage to get your faith in the Hereafter to grow a bit more? The more you manage, the more youll also get the interest of
others in what you believe in, and they wont ignore you. (2015:221)

It takes quite a bit of faith to believe that the best part of all will come after the current life, well, but thats just about what
faith consists of: to believe in the existence of something much greater and more worthwhile in the Hereafter!
(2015:224)

If theres not much left around you in the physical to put your faith in, your faith in Me and all Up Here should actually
grow or at least your hope should, that theres still something better and greater coming up. (2015:226)

Whatever makes you post your faith Up Here, instead of your own abilities is something positive! (2015:227)

Look Up ahead, toward your eternal future Home! The One your faith should ultimately cause you to become more
confident of. (2015:229)

To have to make it through hard times, is teaching you about the negative things of the world, and making you a lot more
appreciative of whats to come afterwards.
Thats what faith is in large parts all about! (2015:239)

Its hard to believe in the invisible, but thats what learning to have faith is all about!
So, put more of your trust in whats Up Here, instead of focusing too much on all thats going on down there! (2015:240)

Be conscious of the fact that a lot of it depends on your faith and attitude the way to put that faith into action! (2015:241)

You have your own talents and abilities, but you have to trust Me that its more important to rely on the strength and aid
from Above in the times coming, that are getting darker, and even the darkest of world history. (2015:244)

Ready for receiving, so youll start believing at little more? (2015:247)

Its just better to trust in Me and the power and strength from Above, instead of relying on yourself and your physical and
carnal abilities. Its better to put your trust in Me than in yourself. (2015:249)

Dont let the weakened sentiments of the flesh drag you down, but focus on the strength in the spirit, believing by faith that
thats more important! In fact the only thing thatll help you make it through the days to come!
Can believe and trust Me for that?
Some of the things I told My disciples, some of them couldnt believe at the time being, but eventually they realized I had
been telling them the truth. (16:2)

Not knowing what the future holds for you will cause and teach you to utterly put your trust in Me, and thats what youll
definitely need for times getting rougher! (16:3)

I will keep having the answer to any problems for you, and ultimately, Heaven will be the Answer! So, keep believing in it,
and keep up the hope that theres something better coming than what this world has to offer! Keep believing and trusting
in Me! (16:7)

Keeping the faith, in spite of all the enemys efforts to break and destroy it, thats what will really offer rewards. Yes, its a
fight! A fight of faith! But blessed are those able to keep it in spite of all the doubts the enemy sows in order to weaken
it, if not totally wipe it out and destroy it! Blessed are those who will win at the end of that rough fight during which the
enemy does all he can to wipe out and destroy your faith, including making it look as though all the prophecies and Words
from Above were fairy-tales.
Its rough and tough to stick to fighting the battle for your faith, but those that manage to keep fighting are those that will
get honored and blessed with the rewards for it for not having their faith allowed to die or go down the drain due to the
enemys attacks against it.
So, keeping your faith is pretty much one of the most important tasks of life, even if one of the most difficult ones, too.
349
Dont let the enemy wipe out that faith in the better Hereafter! (16:9)

If you dont understand things fully right now, take it by faith, and trust the Father and Me that We know what Were
allowing to happen, and as bad and as evil at it may seem at the time, it will have its positive outcome in the end!
I know, its a tough test of faith to go through the hard and rough times, but thats what all true followers and folks of faith
have had to do. (16:13)

Can you trust Me and the Father that Were allowing the kind of things to happen that will serve you best to teach you what
you need to learn to make it through a rougher future? (16:16)

When things dont seem so smooth in life, keep up your faith and hope in something better coming up!
Have some more faith in the perfect Place expecting you! (16:33)

We are stronger than all those worldly influences, even though those are more visible, but it just shows and demonstrate
what an important factor faith is! Including faith in Something Better to come!
Its still a bit difficult not to gear your attention mainly towards the physically visible. But thats basically what faith is
mainly about: the ability to give greater importance to factors and things beyond what can be seen with your eyes! (2016:34)

If you really believe in Me and the Fathers divine all-powerfulness, you ought to put that faith into practice and ask for the
kind of change you desire.
To gear to the desire of your Creator Above when you cant even see Him, well, thats what faith is largely about! And Ive
been telling you about the importance of gearing your faith and accordingly, your actions toward the unseen. Do what
you can to walk according to what Paul wrote: For we walk by faith, not by sight (2Cor.5:7)! (16:35)

Through faith, you should know that the best is yet to come! (16:45)

Keep the faith that your Creator knows a bit better whats best for you in order to make of your character what He knows is
best, even if that includes some hard times!
The good and easy times just have a tendency to spoil folks, and so, youve got to trust in your Lord and Creator that He
knows best what will make the best person out of you, and its not just the easy times. (16:47)

Its not easy to stay positive in such a negative world, but thats what shows how much faith youve got in both, a positive
Force of Creation and, accordingly, a positive Hereafter and final result!
Those who lack that faith often also lack the accordingly positive attitude, and show more negative action; but if you do
believe in Me, your attitude should accordingly be more positive!
Thats what faith is all about: the ability to resist the negative conditions and circumstances and see the positive in spite of
them. Now, that sort of optimism may be comparatively rare, but something necessary, if you want to be successful in
inspiring others to accept your faith
Negativity just doesnt have anything attractive about it that would inspire positive seekers to adopt your faith!
So, dont allow downhill circumstances to pull down your faith in whats supposedly a better Uphill Dimension! Otherwise,
Im afraid that faith will be too weak to win others to Me and pull them in the right direction.
So, you still believe in the Fathers Might as more powerful than the enemys? Then let that positive Force work in you, and
dont let the influences of bad and evil circumstances the devil creates, conquer or overcome you! Its your job to
overcome them and show through your faith Whose Power and Strength is greater than the evil ones.
Thats where the wonder-working power of faith plays its main role: the doubtless attitude that the Good will win, after all,
in spite of the temporary conquest evil seems to be having!
So, still have some faith in what you cant see? At the moment? If so, youre what folks need to see with the right kind
of attitude and actions, accordingly in order to accept what you believe in, even if they or you cant see it in the
physical right now!
Keep that faith and trust in miracles, and depend on that Force and Power from Above! (16:49)

Times not as pleasant as the ones you were able to enjoy before take a bit of trust, that We know quite well what Were
allowing, even if its not ideal for you, considering the level and quality of circumstances youre having to go through.
Future preparation may be a bit tough these days, but it just takes some faith and trust in the fact that We know what Were
allowing.
It may not coincide with your personal choice, with matters taking on shapes you wouldnt prefer, but thats where the
greatest and best choice you could make is to trust Us completely for what Were allowing to befall you. (16:50)

For folks to do things they hadnt been able to for the previous millennia of world history makes it quite a lot harder to
depend on faith in the Powers and Forces from Above.
Living by faith has become a rare trait with folks leaning and depending on the system and modern technology.
Its basically a major choice for believers to make: greater trust in Me and Heavens help, or the systems?
So, dont fall into the temptation to trust in and rely on the way the systems working, but be wiser to put your trust in Me
and Our Power, help and supply from Above!
Faith in a temporal system is not as wise as faith in the invisible, but yet much more real and lasting Powers and Forces
from Above!
It may take more faith in what you cant see but isnt that what faith is all about?
350
Cant see Me, but trust in Me, anyway!
Strengthen your spiritual vision and that faith in the physically invisible!
Strengthen your spiritual vision and that faith in the physically invisible! Trust Me that what youll be able to see
thereafter will by far surpass your temporal, physical sight! And thats basically what faith is all about! Believe in what you
may not be able to see right now! (16:52)

To make it through tough times through faith now, that is what faith is all about to start with!
If the physical circumstances are too easy to need to apply for help from Above well, thats not really a life of faith, is it?
So, take the tough times youre going through as part of that life of faith! Faith in Something better to come! (2016:53)

Have some faith in the superiority of heavenly Strength and Power over that of the enemy and his hoards, including their
influences on your kids or others around you!
Its not a faith you can gain by sight, or the things happening in the physical around you, but only through My Words
Faith cometh by hearing the Word of God (Rom.10:17).
So, let My input strengthen you and your faith! (16:54)

Dont set your faith on your physical feelings and conditions, but on the Power from Above thats able to deal with any
kind of hindrances from your dimension! Trust Us that Were able to achieve things that by human standards would be
termed and considered impossible.
Impossible? A challenge for Us! And it should be for you let it raise your faith!
If things didnt happen as youd have hoped, dont blame Us, but strengthen your faith instead! (16:55)

To learn to depend on help from Above takes faith, but thats what you ought to be enriching yourselves in through My
Input, leading and guidance! (16:59)

Have the faith and confidence that according to your faith Ill see you through the times of trouble! And one of the ways
to gain that faith is through the problems and trials youre having to deal with and overcome with My help right now!
The end of evil I predicted during My earthly lifetime, and others have and do. Unfortunately, its greatest power on Earth is
still ahead of you. So, learn to overcome and deal with it through the Strength and Help from Above, through your faith in
Me! Dont allow it to depress you, but look at what will come beyond that! I will! Along with My Kingdom. I know it takes
faith to have that confidence, but thats what you should try to fight for. And dont let Satan weaken it through the negative
conditions and circumstances around you! But keep the faith to look past and beyond them!
Remember faith, hope, love, these three and the greatest of these is love! And dont let the devil kill those through the
negative circumstances becoming worse, but put faith and hope above them, and let it fill you with love, the greatest
Force, representing the Power and Presence of Our Father!
Dont let your faith and vision be focused on the circumstances around you, but on My Promises instead!
Even if its far beyond that which your eyes can see! Remember that thats what faith is: Believing in what you presently
cant see with your eyes! So, keep believing in whats beyond that!
If life isnt what youd wish for it to be, keep in mind that Ive given you a new one, which will! But for right now: according
to your faith! (16:62)

Even if lifes a bit dreadful for you right now and with things becoming worse trust Me that itll be worth it all! (16:63)

Ive always opened some doors for you even if it was at the last minute to test your faith and patience. So, keep that faith
and patience! And dont worry, which isnt faith!
Faith knows you can rely on Me. So, learn how to keep that faith and make it grow, even if, - or because you need it with
times growing darker!
So, trust in Us! We wont let you down!
Trust not in the circumstances around you, but the heavenly Strength, Help and Power from Us! Thats faith.
Put your faith Up Here, not the circumstances and conditions down there! Keep trusting and believing that We are greater
than whatever trouble the enemy might toss at you!
Keep trusting in Us and all the Power and Strength from Above, and dont focus too much on the physical circumstances
down there if they tend to worry you! Remember: faith and trust is what you need, not fear and worries! (16:64)

I know its a little harder to see Fathers Love in hard times, but learning to cope with them should also strengthen your
faith.
The hard times arent supposed to weaken your faith, but should end up strengthening it! (16:65)

The enemy uses the physical circumstances around you to doubt that you can make it but hey thats the opposite of
faith, one of the most important factors youll need in order to make it. (2016:67)

Learn to keep your mindset and vision and gear of thoughts directed Up Here the side of faith to keep lifting you up!
Dont let the physical circumstances direct your mood, but your faith in what you cant see with your eyes, but faith ought
to tell you that its even more real than whats going on around you down there!
Let your faith become strong enough to get ahold of the vision of heavenly Light in spite of the darkness and dark
circumstances around you down there! Thats what faith is, and is able to do for you or at least should be, if you make it
a major force in you, rather than the circumstances surrounding you.
351
So, look Up Here by faith and not down there, which more often only will have the tendency to weaken your faith! (16:68)

It might be a bit tough to set the appropriate values on the unseen when surrounded by such a contrary world having the
opposite effect on you, well, but thats what faith is largely about.
See that faith as a greater Source of Strength than whatever the body could come up with! (16:73)

When you dont have much of a clue if or how youre going to make it, trust Me that its just about the best way one can get
onto a path of a life of faith one where your connection with Me plays the most important part, and not just your own
capabilities.
What concerns most folks is the there and now, and they consider expecting dark times pessimism. Well, it takes some
faith to make optimism out of it by expecting a better world thereafter, and after the times of trouble, but you know how
anxiously the devil fights to erase that faith from peoples hearts and minds.
View it as the most valuable item youve got! Itll help to see you through, more than money or good luck ever could.
(16:74)

I promised you that you could do all things through Me. When that offer and option, that faith is there, the question is:
What will you do?
I know, the circumstances may tell you, But you cant! Youre too weak too old too whatever. But when youre
supposed to have the faith of Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me, then youre also
supposed to live and act according to that faith! And not give as an excuse, But I cant because of this, that or the
other!
So, remember that you can do all things through Me, next time before the devil gives you the excuse, But you cant
because of this that, or the other! Amen?
Keep within you that faith and make it stronger that through Me you can do virtually anything! (16:77)

If its tough times to go through, see them as preparation for even tougher times youll only make it through with My Help!
And let your faith grow that I can manage to help you make it through that!
Therell come a time when faith will make all the difference for those not following the Beast, and the physically stronger
and fitter ones will appreciate then what you can offer to them. (16:80)

Im not just the Savior from the punishment for sins to all those who receive Me, but also the Savior of the world from its
coming state of hell on Earth.
So, a big Job, that Salvation, requiring a lot of miraculous and supernatural acts one reason to enhance your faith in
those. No way to make it through whats coming, without!
Got that faith Ill manage to make it, and thus help you to make it through Me? Well, thats the faith you need! (16:82)

Just have that faith, that its okay for Me if they receive you as one of My messengers down there, and not even capable of
giving a lot of message in words or language, but just through your appearance and your spirit!
Its all according to your faith; and I wont ask you for whats not according to it. (16:83)

If youre lacking faith that youll be able to make it through whats to come, well make it grow!
Im trying to teach you that itll only be Our abilities, and on your side, strong faith thatll help see you through. (16:84)

The time is coming when folks who wont be part of the AC system will absolutely and totally depend on the heavenly Help
they can get through faith. (2016:86)

Dont disregard the tough preparation youre having to go through!

It may not be what youd personally desire, but thats where the faith comes in to believe that Im the One Who happens to
know best.
Raise your faith in the Strength of the Spirit!
The presence of John during My crucifixion, which proved that he wasnt too shaken by physical appearances and
conditions, resulted in the fact the he was the only one of My disciples not dying a martyrs death. So, can you see the
advantage of putting your faith in the Spirit instead of carnal and physical conditions and circumstances? (2016:90)

The less you can rely on yourself and your own capabilities, the more it will drive you to rely on Me, and youve just got to
trust Me that thats the best for you!
Continue to trust and rely on Me and all of Heaven Above, that We know what Were allowing in your life, even if its not as
pretty and easy as what you had been used to.
Even if right now you cannot see how youre going to make it through whats coming, put your trust in Me, that Ill help you
make it and lead you through each day to come!
Trust Me that these relatively unpleasant changes in your life are there to prepare you for the roughest changes coming to
the world! (2016:92)

Have an attitude of trust and confidence!

Remember that faith is based on something you cant see with your physical eyes!
Thats why faith and trust are so important: without them, you wont make it through the days to come.

352
Get attuned to your true and lasting Home; and if its faith that gets you to that level, feed it and let it be strengthened as
the force to help you make it through whats to come down there!
So, if faith comes through the hearing of the Word, can you tell how its growing in you and lifting you up from the
discouraging attitude the enemys been trying to plant in your life through the surrounding circumstances, fears and
worries? Faith is what helps you overcome all of them: the aspect of physical circumstances and your fears and worries
about them, including those concerning whats to come! Faith is what can help you make it through each day through
overcoming those seeds of the enemy.
Put your trust in Me and dont focus on the surrounding circumstances of darkness sown by the enemy! (2016:95)

Youve just got to make it through somehow through the tough times, because there are tougher ones to come!
All you can do is trust and hope that Im gonna see you through them somehow.
Keep your focus on Me through faith, not on the hell-bound circumstances down there!
Making it through either Heaven or hell on Earth is a part of what faith is supposed to enable you to that faith that
Heavens going to win that battle in the end!
So, even if conditions and circumstances are rough, let that faith be the key to the Force to make it through!
And even if that faith seems to disappear in the dark night, let Me pep it up for you again through My Words, through which
it comes!
Its not the easy times that strengthen your faith!
So, keep the faith that that Powers still there for those who still want to follow Me through the Endtime the time of the
end of Satans reign over the Fathers creation which He allowed in order for us all to find out whod resist the evil, and
not follow the evil one, but choose the good instead all that comes from Him, including all the Help from Up Here theyll
need to make it through those final, and darkest times of the worlds history!
Keep your faith up in spite of the dark circumstances!
The longer you hang on to it, the stronger it will grow. (2016:97)

Keep your focus Up Here where you belong, your true Home, even if currently only perceived through faith!
Learning to put your trust and reliance on Me is one of the necessary progresses to make it through the coming times.
See your physical weakening as an advantage, and let it help to raise your faith in Me and what I can do for you and
through you instead! (2016:98)

Just keep your faith and trust in Me, that Ill manage to do the things for you that currently seem difficult or impossible!
Put that faith and trust in Me to strengthen and lift up your courage, outlook and confidence in the fact that with My Help
things are going to work out!
Remember that trust in Me is essential. That means, you shouldnt worry but trust!
In spite of any tough and difficult circumstances and conditions, trust that I am greater than those and can and will help
you overcome them!
If you dont have the faith for that now, how are you going to make it through the really tough times coming? So, let your
faith grow!
Let your faith and trust in Me grow, and dont let them be subsided by fears and worries! (2016:99)

With the difficulties before you, dont see them as a hindrance or negative, but as something to draw you closer to Me,
something to make your faith in Me grow, and as circumstances that teach you to become more dependent on Me and the
coming need of the Miracle-Power from Above, without which you wont make it through the troubled times to come!
Try to see negative circumstances as a positive through faith! Thats one of the main things faith is all about and is
supposed to teach you!
If theres a seemingly impossible situation coming up, just remember that all things are possible to him that believeth
(Mark.9:23)! Just take it as a challenge of faith!
Dont see it as something negative, but as a strengthening of your faith! (2016:100)

Faith is the ultimate Source of Strength you need; For all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark.9:23). (2016:101)

It takes some capability of overcoming current circumstances and looking at the better Goal beyond through faith.
Faith, hope, love, these three seem to be a lot worthier ones to invest your time and energy in than current pleasure, fun
and easy living, dont you think?
So, even if lifes far from perfect and a bit rough making it through remember faith, the capacity of believing that the
Father knows what Hes allowing to happen to you in order to shape your character and make what youre supposed to be
out of you!
The Father knows what Hes allowing to happen to you in order to shape your character and make what youre supposed
to be out of you!
Got a little trust for that? (2016:102)

The more proofs you get that you just dont belong down there, the better! The more itll pull you closer to that Home of
faith and strengthen that faith in It make you more dependent on Its reality.
What have you got to lose by putting your faith in Something better to come? The more dependent your life gets on it, the
better! (2016:105)

353
Thats one of the lessons of life: Not to let circumstances, surrounding, and even the state of other folks around you drag
you down, but keeping your faith, vision, focus and outlook geared Up Here, your true Home, and toward Me, the Solver of
any of your problems.
An accident happening when I promised to keep you under My protection is a test of faith, but you simply have to trust Me
for that.
Trust Me even for trouble! Can you?
Trust Me that I know what Im allowing to happen in your life! (2016:106)

Trust Me for it, that Ill open doors where I want you to be; and that youre just going to have to endure the hardness of the
place you are when theres no open door yet elsewhere!
You still have to make some progress in that area, about trusting Me with your life.
So, dont expect too much from what surrounds you, but keep your visions, hope, and faith set Up Here!
Remember that the right direction to cling your faith in and gear your hopes toward is Up Here your true Home! (2016:108)

Whatevers your fate and your task, just try to take it as cheerfully as possible, and trust your divine Masters for knowing
what Theyre doing! Wouldnt that be part of faith? Not just accepting Their existence, but also trustem that They know
what Theyre doing or allowing to happen?
When things get roughest, faith gets more tested; and Ive told you that the roughest time of alls to come so, dont be
too shocked if your faith is going through a crisis, as I prepare you for whats up! Learning to deal with rough times and
still keeping the faith is one of the most important lessons to learn with the roughest of all times coming up! (2016:110)

One of the major lessons to learn during this present reign of evil over the world is to keep a victorious mindset through
faith faith in the fact that Good will eventually win the final battle and reign; and not let the circumstances around you
rule your spiritual condition.
It takes faith to see the positive in a largely negative world, constantly getting worse, but thats exactly why faith is so
important during your earthly life-time: the faith in the fact that good will ultimately win over evil, and that evil will be
overcome to such an extent that it wont have to be dealt with anymore.
Even if the evil side seems to be more powerful down there right now keep your faith and trust in the ultimate winning
Side! Thats why faith is so important: to put your trust and confidence not in the things and surroundings that you see in
the physical world around you, but pointed and directed toward God the Spirit the Spirit of Love Wholl sooner or
later prove Whose Power is ultimately stronger and greater!
So, the clue to staying positive in a world reigned by evil: Focus Up Here, where youre heading! Through faith!
Remember that faith and trust in Me is more important than going by circumstances! (2016:112)

Cant figure things out in your own abilities? Good point to start putting your entire trust Up Here!
If you cant figure things out by yourself, let it strengthen your trust in Us to take care of things concerning you!
Remember that the state of the world will get into such a shape that you wont be able to figure out the solutions with your
own mind, anyway; so, learning to trust in Us instead of your own mind is the best preparation you can get. Trust Me for
that?
The less youre able to trust in your own mind and abilities to get things done, the more youll be geared to trusting Us for
it all instead; and with the way the worlds headed, thats definitely the better! (2016:114)

To make it through the rough times takes miracles, a thing I keep promising; and another thing you should get into the
rhythm of applying for, claiming My Promises for, and thus strengthen your faith for!
Loads of miracles will be necessary to see you through whats coming, and according to your faith in My Promises, they
will!
No matter how troublesome the times down there, keep your focus set Up Here, from where the miraculous and heavenly
changes will come to make something much better out of it all, even if it takes faith. But thats just what you need to make
it through a world run by the king of hell: Faith in the King of Heaven!
Itll take miracles to make it through the part of history run by the king of hell, so remember to make your faith for and in
miracles keep rising and growing!
Life isnt Heaven on Earth right now, but rather a foretaste of the coming period of hell on Earth, but keep your vision on
Heaven on Earth to come even if it takes faith! - The faith to help you make it through that hell on Earth. (2016:117)

Dont see your weakness of the flesh as a hindrance or something negative! See it positively by faith! (2016:118)

Its no more Welcome to the machine, but time to get out of it, for those who want to stay Heaven-bound, and not play
part in that final part of hell on Earth!
Keep your vision and focus on the far better option, even if that physically visible part around you doesnt sing any
hopeful tunes for it, and itll require a lot of faith in what you cant see with your physical eyes to keep a positive and
hopeful view on things! (2016:119)

Keep your vision on the Perfect Up Here through faith!

Sometimes just hoping for the better is all that you can do by faith.
Not knowing ahead of time where exactly youre heading cant you imagine that to be one of the factors faith is all
about? Trusting Me that I know and know best where youre heading? (2016:122)

354
With the immensely dark circumstances approaching, its just absolutely necessary for true faith to grow into a state
totally independent of circumstances!
The uglier the circumstances, the greater your faith has got to be (2016:126)

When the visions geared on temporal conditions and circumstances, you need a brighter vision of faith and hope beyond
and past all that. (2016:128)

With all youve experienced through earthly leaders, youve come to the conclusion that its safer to put your trust in Me
instead.
It takes a bit more faith to establish a relationship with Me that includes My direct leadership but the experience of failing
human leadership is a way that points in the right direction as to whom one can truly trust without any doubts isnt it?
It just requires a bit more faith to follow the Invisible Man as your Leader (16:131)

If you cant trust too much in those around you down there, just remember that the most important One to put your trust in
is Me, and all the Help from Heaven you can get!
Make sure its Me and Heaven youre putting your trust in!
Dont trust in your own abilities to see you through whats coming, but just make sure you put your trust completely in Me!
Sometimes there are just things to face that will leave folks with no other solution but putting trust in the Savior and
Creator from Above!
So, no matter how dark your circumstances, keep putting your trust in Me and the Father!
It may still require some more faith of you to make it; but listening to Me will make it grow.
Just put your trust in Me, and dont let the enemy draw your focus on the circumstances around you, or the faults in those
around you!
See the things they cause as tests of faith, and of reminders who to put your faith and trust in: not them, but Me!
Keep remembering the fruits of faith: its tangible, visible (and eatable) results!
No idea how to make it? Have a little faith in Me! (16:132)

Keep the faith that We know what Were doing, okay? Even if it does take that faith to believe in it, which is why I keep
feeding you My Words and input to keep making it grow.
Remember that faith cometh by the hearing of the Word of God. Even if it means youve got to keep hearing it from
day to day to make it grow again from scratch!
If the world was created through the Word why shouldnt It manage to reinstall your faith, even on a daily basis?
Even if it bugs you that every day you wake up youre not perfect, circumstances around you arent perfect but if you
just keep that faith in Me and My Word, or let that faith grow anew through My Word, if I can handle it and live with it, cant
you?
Let it be a warning to you about how easy it is for folks to lose their faith, so keep in touch with Me daily to keep it! (2016:133)

Stick by faith to the preparation pattern, and trust that We know what Were allowing to happen, and with conditions not
being perfect around you, just let it remind you thats just not what you can expect from a world run and soon even
physically governed by our enemy So, just do all you can to become a positive output during the most negative times of
history!
So, get prepared to become an uplifting example through those roughest of times to come, which Well be able to make of
you through Our miracles; and keep your faith on that uphill stream, even if the things around you may not come across as
that uplifting at all! Make the best out of it! Even of hell on Earth! Amen? Got the vision? Got the faith? Then strive to
stick to them, no matter what comes! (2016:134)

Just continue trusting that Im by your side, no matter how dark the circumstances may be turning!
Whenever you feel like you wont make it, just put your trust in Me, Wholl help you to make it, even or especially if you
dont have any strength for it on your own! (2016:135)

Some of Our folks had to wait for that miracle-power to get ahold of but even if it took some faith connected with
patience, it taught them what waiting on the Lord means.
Patience takes faith means faith and patience are related. It takes faith to have patience, and if you dont have any, it
pretty much shows how weak your faith is, and that it needs to grow before Were able to use you.
So, if impatience symbolizes a lack of faith, and you know how important faith is, it certainly shows that impatience is quite
an NWO.
Put your faith in the Spirit if thats what the Father is, along with the Holy Spirit! Put a little more faith in Them, instead of
the visible results of creation! Thats basically what faith is all about. (2016:136)

Be thankful for the easy part of life, and make it through the tougher part with a bit more of a positive and cheerful spirit
and attitude, with faith in Me that I dont give you more than you can handle! (2016:137)

Trust in Me - no matter what situation you find yourself in - is a good quality to obtain and make out of the life you have to
live down there.
If you dont feel like its doing so in a physical aspect, remember that the most important one is the spiritual! Learning how
to trust more in Me for your strength, not your own physical capacities.
You need to put your trust in Me and the heavenly Help Were offering you!
355
Strengthening your faith and trust in Me and your reliance on Me is the best thing there could be!
Dont feel like you can make it? Good opportunity for Me to make it through you and thereby strengthen your faith and
trust in whats really relevant considering times coming!
Its good not to pin your faith on your flesh and own capacities for your survival.
The more hopeless it looks for you to make it in your own strength, the more it will cause you to put your trust in Me and
all Strength and Help from Above to make it instead. Thats what faith is, and thats the faith to pull you through.
So, get used to putting your trust for strength to make it in Me! Not your own abilities! (2016:139)

Make the effort to focus on Us by faith, instead of the physical conditions around you!
Looking Up Here takes faith.
Keep strengthening your faith! Its just about the most important thing you can do. (2016:141)

Dont see times of physical weakness as a negative, but as a positive - through faith that theyre drawing you closer to
Me!
I turn the bad experiences into something good for you. Thats one of the miracle-powers of faith.
Faith will help to see you through the time of the greatest darkness of history.
Remember that your faith in Me is what will empower you to overcome this world with all the negative occurrences it will
bring!
Put your faith Up Here in spite of whatever is or will be happening down there!
Put your faith in the Spirit!
Faith will turn out to be an asset of the acceptance of a higher form of existence than the physical one. (2016:142)

Allowing circumstances to drag you down just shows that your state of faith isnt exactly where its supposed to be, and
definitely not what it ought to be in much more troublesome times to come.
Look beyond them and rise above them! I know, its an act of faith but also experience that will help you strengthen your
faith by putting it into action.
Faith shouldnt just be a theoretical mindset, but has to be put into action, especially when having to resist and fight a
ferocious enemy whos doing all he can to destroy it. And to get it there, youve got to learn and get to know what it means
to live by faith.
Living by faith means to attain the ability to resist all influences of negative circumstances around you, and there are still
quite some steps of faith to take in order to get there.
Resist the attempts of evil, and make your faith come to life that tells you that My Power to help you overcome them is
greater!
The enemys power over earthly circumstances may seem and look greater than the Power from Above, but thats where
faith comes in, to enable you to resist and overcome that visible demonstration of enemy power and put your trust in what
may not be visible right now
Dont give up after the defeats, but keep fighting, trusting in the fact that although My demonstrations of Power may not be
as immediate and visible as the enemys down there, ultimately your faith will be rewarded by victory for hanging in there!
Look beyond what you can see with your eyes and keep your vision and focus on the more powerful Realm by faith!
(2016:144)

Having taken part of your physical abilities away from you had the purpose of getting you more into the gear of living by
faith. Faith in Me and the Power and supply from Above, not your own abilities, since thats the only thing that will get
you through the hard times coming.
Live by faith and trust in My Promise of provision by seeking Our Kingdom and the arrival of new souls Up Here first!
Thats what living by faith is all about, and the groove you should get into!
So, make your faith not your own physical abilities the source of providing for your needs! Amen?
Come on back to living by faith!
Leaning on Me for your survival is what living by faith means. (2016:145)

In a world run by the flesh and carnal efforts, its an act of faith to place your actions, works and deeds into the Realm of
the Spirit.
Of course, it takes faith to sow the seeds of your works into the spiritual Realm while all around you is going the opposite
direction. (2016:146)

With Earth getting close to turning into a state of hell, therell be more folks looking for an alternative, which is Our and
your heavenly Home!
Not physically visible, but thats why you have to convey faith! Let them know and show them: Its there! Even if
currently only perceived by the vision of faith.
Keep believing and trusting in Me the Source of Strength to see you through whats coming no matter how dark and
troublesome!
Thats why you need that training of raising your faith on other things than the visible and tangible circumstances and
conditions around you, since whats going to see you through is and comes from the greater Realm beyond all that. It
requires faith, but thats why Im continuing to pour out My Words and input to you: its what your faith grows and
continues to live of, just as your body does from the daily food you eat. (2016:147)

356
Worrying is like the enemys scares of the negative things that might come or happen to you, and it definitely isnt helpful
for getting into the preparation mode. Its good to get into groove of faith which should be a positive outlook, not worry!
(2016:148)

In whom do you trust more: in Me or in yourself?

Remember that My Strength is made perfect in weakness, so dont let weakness strike you as a letdown or negative
occurrence, but see it as a blessing! A blessing to put your trust in Mine, not your own!
Just keep trusting in Me, that I know what Im doing you and am leading you in the right direction!
Trust Me that the weakening of your fleshly capacities is an advantage! Because it causes you to trust and rely more on
the Help and Strength from Above, the only Things that will see you through whats to come! Trust Me that I know better
whats up ahead than you can, and that what Im permitting is the perfect route of your preparation for whats up! (2016:150)

When the strength of the flesh subsides, see it as a positive step of progress in the direction thatll see you through in the
dark future: putting your trust in Gods Spirit instead the only Force capable of seeing you through whats to come!
Keep in mind that you chose the positive alternative of faith in a better Home and a better coming Master of the world
than whats currently in charge down there! And let it help you to keep remembering that its part of your job down there to
present that ultimate choice to others, which will pretty much guide everyone to the place hereafter they chose by faith or
the lack of it.
Set your mind Up Here, as opposed to negative conditions down there! Isnt that what faith is all about? A positive
outlook in spite of negative conditions and circumstances on the surface?
Thats why vision of faith believing vs. seeing with your eyes is so important. Make your outlook dependent on the
better things to come, instead of the largely negative circumstance down there! (2016:152)

Seeing blessings in disguise is a sign of faith.

Theres a big difference between seeing the things in the physical, and the sight and vision of faith instead. (2016:153)

Remember that I am the Word through which everything was made!

If thats what all things were made of, it should give you the faith that it should also enable you to make it through anything
that comes, right? After all, Faith cometh by hearing the Word of God (Rom.10:17). And faith will be needed more than
ever for making it whats to come. So, stick to Me the living Word of God Almighty! (2016:154)

Hearing from Me is like feeding your soul, its daily guidance, or even just encouragement and strengthening of your faith
you need, which comes from hearing My Word.
And the importance of faith growing thereby, in order not to be too affected and downcast by whats going on around you
will definitely be needed during the Endtime so, get used to it! Get used to depending on faith; because it will be more
necessary than ever in times to come!
Gear your vision and inner setup not according to what you perceive by sight, but receive through faith!
With circumstances and conditions around you getting darker, it becomes more and more important to gear your existence
according to the heavenly Light through faith.
Prepare for the darkness coming and already on its way by making it your habit to seek and focus on My spiritual Light
something not seen with your physical eyes, but which needs to be perceived by faith!
What you can see through faith will be more important than what you see with your eyes in the time of the greatest
darkness in history on its way.
So, can you see the importance of faith in what your eyes cant see above that of the physical vision of things around you?
The times are coming when faith absolutely wont be able to exist anymore based on physical conditions, but only through
whats perceived through faith and spiritual sight.
Look unto Me! By vision of faith! (2016:155)

When faults and flaws are made up with unusual amounts, actions and habits of faith, such as coming to Us to get our
input on a nearly daily basis stuff like that just makes us overlook those flaws!
It may be tough to instill faith and hope in others when you know theres a dark future coming ahead of all of you, but what
when that dark futures there? Trust Me that theyll appreciate what you have to offer then more than ever!
The dark times coming will draw the line between those who accept the faith and hope you have to offer, and the
alternative of temporal, material wealth the devil in person will offer to those receiving his mark! (2016:156)

Face difficulties with courage founded by the faith in the fact that Im with you and will be there to help you make it through
the tough times! (2016:157)

Its a challenge to make positive out of historys greatest apparent and seemingly obvious negative, and that just takes
faith!
Faith in all servants and followers of Mine have been told for millennia the Word, which all things have been made and
created of.
When you cant rely on the state of your flesh anymore and youre feeling weak, its a negative sign to you; but by faith you
should see it as a positive! Isnt it a confirmation of what My Word says which is where your faith should come from?
So, dont let your feelings be the source of your faith, but make it the Word which, after all, made all things! (2016:162)

357
Few folks are drawn toward My input and what I have to offer requiring faith, while the majoritys vastly more interested
in what their fellow humans have to dish out
Visible sources of input are just a lot more popular than the ones that require a large step of faith. (2016:165)

The amount of faith has decreased down there, and accordingly, peoples behaviors and mindsets many of them not
anymore geared toward the good, but the evil thats bound to take over the world, thanks to its wicked master who, no
matter how good he may ever pretend to be, will ultimately expose himself as the ultimate evil and source thereof.
Make the Holy Spirit what engulfs you and surrounds and empowers you in spite of all the enemys influences around you!
Show your faith in which of the two powers is mightier! (2016:166)

Once We and you pass that test of seeing you through the hard times, itll help your faith in Us and Our Help to grow
immensely.
Youve got to put that faith in Us into action!
Faith in what you cant see with your physical eyes is so important; and once realizing that, your confidence in the Power
will rise and grow to a state it will help you overcome the physically visible manifestations of evil around you.
Make your faith in the positive spiritual Forces grow, so that They can use you to prove and manifest Their abilities
through you! (2016:170)

Faith is based on the conviction that theres Something Greater than the things you happen to manage to see. (2016:171)

Trust in My abilities to supply you with whatever you need to survive is basically one of the main steps of faith, and the
demonstration and proof that someone truly lives and walks by faith: not investing their physical efforts in earning money,
but spreading My message and through it winning souls to My Kingdom
Remember Judas, and what the attraction of money can lead to! Dont put your faith and trust in it, but in Me instead, the
ultimate Supplier of your needs and those of all My true followers, even during the time when therell be cash no more!
Keep trusting in Me and the Powers from Heaven to supply you with what you need for your survival! Its what youll need
during times to come! (2016:172)

Self-confidence is becoming out of date for those who want to make it through whats up, and putting that trust, reliance
and confidence Up Here instead, thats the way!
If you cant make it on your own and in your own strengths and capacities, let it raise your faith in Mine and all of
Heavens! (2016:173)

Keep looking by faith at the good Up Here!

Dont let the circumstances drag you down! But let your faith lift and raise you up in spite of them! Thats what faith is.
And since faith cometh from hearing My Word, youre doing the right thing to turn to Me for My input. Knowing by now
that you wouldnt stand a chance to make it without It.
Trust in what you cant see or physically feel! Thats what faith is.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and dont let the coming kingdom of Satan influence and drag you down!
Thats what will be required of faith in the days to come! (2016:177)

Experiences through seemingly hopeless situations raise your trust and confidence in Us to help and see you through.
Experiencing Our Help and protection raises your faith that We might manage to help you make it through the rough times
to come.
So, one advantage of experiencing Our Help to make it through rough and potentially dangerous events: raising your faith
in and lifting your worries about the capacities of making it through the times to come. (2016:178)

Making it through the rough times takes faith. - Faith to go on in spite of what you see going on all around you. Faith to go
by not what you see, but what can only be perceived by and through faith!
So, dont allow circumstances and unpleasant situations to weaken it! If anything, they should strengthen it through
teaching you that you can make it with heavenly Help and support through just about anything!
I gave My Promises on all things, knowing that a lot of what the enemy would come up with far beyond humans
capacities of imagination, youve just got to have faith in the fact that ultimately, all things are under Gods control, no
matter what the enemy might come up with! Have faith in the fact that We Up Here can overcome and thus help you to do
so, too anything.
Be ready to deal with the fact that your faith might still have to grow an awful lot to be able to confront what the enemy not
just might, but will be up to!
Put your faith in the Spirit! And hey, if thats what God My Father is, what else could you call faith?
Thats also a reason I keep teaching you about not allowing your faith to be affected by circumstances and conditions! Its
time to set your faith into something higher than what you have to deal with down there! Thats what faith is; and dont let
it be affected by things around you that you see! (2016:179)

Youve got to trust Us that We know better whats to come than you possibly can!
As disastrous as your condition seems to you, trust Me that its the best that could happen to strengthen your sense of
dependence on Me and all the Help youll need from Above, once conditions will have grown ultimately worse down there
than you can even fathom right now! (2016:180)

358
Not much faith left in your own abilities? Thats the perfect time and point to put your faith in My abilities to do things
through you!
So, how strong is your faith in Me, really? Thats what were going to find out when your own strength subsides, and
youre going to wind up depending on Mine!
When things seem impossible, its the time to test your faith in the truth and fact of Philippians 4:13: I can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth me. Since I can do all things basically means: There is nothing impossible! Not
for you, if you have that faith that I can do anything not only for you, but also through you. (2016:181)

Its a test of faith when youre having to go through a situation that makes you wonder, Why does, or how could the Lord
allow this? What sense does it make?
So, the way and path of faith is a harder one when youre geared to go by and according to what you see.
Believing is something that takes faith in what you dont see, and its a pretty hard training for some.
There is a glimpse of hope that the sense and purpose of it all will eventually dawn on you, founded on faith in what you
cant see.
If all things around you were created by those Words, and Ive been the Incarnation of those Words, as John wrote
theres gotta be something to it thats greater than what you can see. Cant you see that? By faith?
Focusing at a greater Purpose beyond all which you can see with your eyes is basically what faith is all about.
So, faith is a pretty important factor to make it through whats to come, until that which you believe in will finally come and
become visible to you, too.
Seeing by faith: an important tactic in this day and age to make it through and beyond all thats merely physically visible
with your eyes. A reason not to allow whats going on around you in the physical to drag you down. Now, when it
comes to that kind of feelings its better to learn to resist them, and let Me lift you up through your faith!
Faith is the remedy that can turn your weakened state into making you stronger in the spirit, which is what counts! (2016:182)

Its the enemys scheme to squash that faith anybody has in whats not seen especially if thats coming from My side, not
one of his but thats why its a battle, and youve got to keep fighting for your faith. (2016:184)

When you realize youre still worrying about things, it shows you should enhance and strengthen your faith and trust.
Seemingly impossible situations teach you to have faith of the sort youll need for whats coming. - Which means, they
strengthen your faith. Challenging, but strengthening at the same time.
So, see lifes challenges as faith-strengthening factors!
Getting that faith for whats confronting you means getting more faith for whats ahead of you. (2016:187)

Everybodys got their moments of testing their trust, confidence and positive attitudes and mindsets.
Optimism through faith thats what Id call the right attitude worth gaining.
As dark and brittle as things around you may seem, looking beyond them at Something Better to come by faith!
See, having faith means having it for all things that are happening trusting in the Creator that He knows what Hes doing
or allowing.
So, putting up with it all, whatever confronts or challenges you thats part of the process of faith growing in the fact that
contrary to what it may seem like to you God knows what Hes doing or allowing other forces to do, and that somehow
itll turn out to have the best possible results.
Thats faith! (2016:192)

To keep your focus on the ultimate heavenly part beyond is a task of faith, but thats one of the reasons faith is so
important to make it through whats coming; faith to believe in Something beyond that which you can see or hear or feel
around you in the physical! (2016:193)

Faith for miracles: one of the major prerequisites to make it through whats coming.
Whether youll make it through whats coming or not will all largely depend on your faith for miracles miracles in spite of
surroundings, conditions and circumstances.
The best wisdom applicable to make it through whats coming is childlike, non-doubting faith in miracles. (2016:194)

It requires prayer, faith and trust in My protection to make it through the times to come; but in order to lift up your mood
and prospects, what helps is keeping your vision geared toward the better future My Word is promising than what the
world around yous got to offer.
Youve got to put your faith in the superiority of God, Whos a Spirit, over the only apparently more powerful forces of the
physical world, temporarily taken over by or rather, granted to His and our enemy.
Put your faith in the Spirit thatll conquer, instead of the temporal powers right now! (2016:195)

To make it and get through the tough times shows your faith: Can you take the rough times as well as the easy and blissful
ones?
Can you deal with and handle what strikes you as negative by accepting it as a challenge? A sense and purpose to
strengthen your faith?
The Words from the Creator and His Son are still the most powerful elements in the universe, and they still have the same
old creative Force and Power as in the beginning, and its faith in them that strengthens you and helps you to keep going.

359
If Im not supplying and providing the things you need and want right away, it must be that faith and patience are more
important needs, and that My heavenly input is more important for you than the things that would make life easier for you.
(2016:196)

Dont let it make you feel bad, being a stranger down there! Ultimately, by faith, it should make you feel good!
By faith you know youve got a much, much better Home expecting you than what you could find down there. (2016:197)

Greater faith is needed to make it in spite of being a tremendous sinner.

If your faith in My ability and capacity to forgive is too small to handle what youre putting Me through, let that faith grow,
instead of keeping Me in your mind as incapable of handling what youre giving Me to deal with!
Dont let your weaknesses make you hopeless, but let it cause your faith and hope to go where it belongs! (2016:198)

Im trying to help you focus on the Source of all positive, which takes a bit of faith which is also why Im trying to
increase your faith level not going by things you can see and whats going on around you, but the better, spiritual forces
waiting for you beyond all that.
So, try to keep your vision and aim at the better things awaiting you beyond passing all the comparatively miserable
conditions and circumstances youre having to go through! Even if it takes faith.
Whats expecting the world will require some of that faith, since circumstances wont strengthen positive attitudes at the
level folks are fairly much used to right now.
To see things positively will require faith in the days to come, and thats why Im aiming at trying to get you to set your
vision in the right direction, which will be Up Here through faith instead of down there at what youll be able to see.
So, to keep a good and positive attitude, no matter what comes, thats the groove of faith Id like you to learn to live in, act
in, and spread your vibes from.
A positive attitude in spite of negative circumstances, thats the vibe and cool power of faith.
If you dont know whats expecting you down there, and you have a hard time dealing with that not knowing, just take it by
faith, and see that as something more important than knowledge in other words, place more trust in the positive
heavenly forces to help you from Up Here, than your own mental abilities! (2016:199)

Our allowing incidents that cause the weakening of physical abilities must have a significant reason for it! And its mainly
to put the trust and confidence in Us, not ones own abilities and capacities!
So, even though it may cause you a lot of trials not to make it in your own strengths and capacities, trust Us for the good
reason for it! (2016:201)

Put more of your trust in Me, even though you cant see Me, which makes it a trust based on faith!
If things run contrary to your hopes and expectations, try to put your faith in Me instead of those circumstances, that I still
manage to make the best for you out of it! (2016:203)

Dont let the feelings of incapability discourage you, but let it found the faith in you that greater things can be
accomplished through ones lack of own strength and energy and their connection with Heavens Source of Strength
through Me instead!
Trust that I know what Im doing and allowing, even though it may not seem or look positive! Sometimes the greatest
positives come through that learning of overcoming and coping with the negative. (2016:204)

The most needed quality is trust in Me, that Ill pull and see you through whatevers coming.
In other words: no use looking at the circumstances and going according to them, but looking unto Me through faith and
trust!
Faith is to help you make it in spite of whats going on around you!
No clue how youre going to make it? Get used to bearing it with a bit more trust instead of worry!
It might take a lot more faith and trust not knowing where to go or where to stay, but isnt that the way you could imagine
Me liking best for you to take? The way of faith?
So, put your trust in Me for the way on which youre not knowing where youre going! (2016:205)

The tougher the situations, the more youve got to trust in and rely on Me and Heavens Help.
Im training you to have more trust in Me despite tough circumstances, since thats what youve got to get used to.
Aim your trust and confidence in the Help and support to make it through whats before you Up Here! The level of help to
expect from down there will just shrink to absolutely minimal levels, and thus, better to aim your faith for Help Up Here.
(2016:206)

Keep trusting in Me and the Father to take care of you in days to come!
Trust in the Source where life is from! Trust in Our supply and protection!
Worries are not part of the force to help you through whats coming, but your faith and trust in Us! Even if times get
difficult. Difficult for you means a challenge of your faith and trust. While it may have been easier to have faith and trust
through relatively easier times, the difficult times to come will show how strong, steady and sturdy your faith and trust in
Us and Our Help, Power and Force of supply really are.
If you cant make it with your own, physical means as well as you used to, let it be a sign of Our leading and guidance of
where youre supposed to place your faith and confidence instead!
Only trust and confidence in Heavens Help and Our Strength and Power will see you through whats coming.
360
The best ability one can have for times to come is the ability to put ones entire trust and confidence in Us, and not
oneself.
Put your faith and trust in Us, instead of your own (former) abilities!
Put your trust in God Who is Spirit, through which all things were made, and youre more prone to make it through than
your own, physical capacities!
Faith in the invisible is becoming more important than ever, because visible circumstances around you will reach their
worst historical state and condition, and no more use in putting your trust and confidence in what youll be able to see
with your physical eyes. (2016:207)

It takes a lot more trust in Us to agree to a more difficult choice and option.
But by faith you know that the greater challenge also brings the greater reward.
For most folks it is the here and now they put their faith and trust in and invest all their efforts, strengths and energies into,
and the folks who base their actions of their faith and trust in Us and the Hereafter are a tiny minority in comparison, which
is why I said, the chosen are few. (2016:208)

It may be tough to still believe in the righteousness of Gods judgment when evil times are befalling you, but thats just
another test of faith. How much can you manage to trust a God and in His righteousness, if He allows evil circumstances
to befall you?
Now, thats whatll show how real and strong your faith really is!
Keep trusting in Me, and that Im not allowing you to deal with more than I know you can handle, even if it makes you feel
like youre reaching your limit!
Tests of faith are supposed to strengthen your faith; because whats coming up will require the strongest level of faith
youve ever had.
So, keep trusting in Me, and the fact that Im not allowing you to handle greater challenges than I know youre able to bear
and deal with even if they may seem like a bit above the level of what you can handle! Trust Me that I know better what
youre able to take than even you know yourself! (17:1)

You may not know how youre going to make it, but trust Me that its good preparation to start walking by faith, since other,
coming circumstances and world conditions will leave you with a much larger question mark of how youre going to make
it.
To ask for My Help and expect Me to do it through you is an act of faith, and one reason why faith is so important. (17:4)

Pin your faith and trust in something else and elsewhere than whats going on around you! In whats going on Up Here
instead! Put your faith in Up Above, not down below! (17:7)

My golden opportunities look a little different, and are not that easily recognized as such, and thus require faith to
believe in the less-than-obvious.
Remember that one of the great assets of faith is the capacity of things that unbelievers claim impossible! (17:9)

The enemy tries to weaken your faith that you belong Up Here but thats one of the reasons why it pays to strengthen
your faith. (17:11)

Id like you to put more trust and confidence in Me and heavenly Strength and Power, instead of your own abilities.
Your faith and trust in Me have got to become the major factor, above the capabilities of your flesh and carnal mind. (17:12)

Look at the positive! Even if you have to catch that vision in the spirit! Thats what faith is all about, and part of what
makes it so important: it helps you focus on the positive, even if it isnt part of the visible things around you.
So, make an effort to focus on the positive, even if it isnt part of the visible things around you! Thats what faith is!
And even if the audible things around you are hellish noises shoot for hearing My voice instead!
I know, quite a challenge, to see the physically invisible and hear the physically inaudible, but call it the challenge of faith!
(17:15)

Its the fire that shows how real your faith really is.
Can you still believe in a perfect God, even when He doesnt allow things and circumstances around you to appear
perfect? Thats basically the question. And only if you do, it shows youve got what Id call perfect faith.
Perfect faith is the faith to believe in a perfect God despite the fact that He allows imperfect or even far from perfect
circumstances to cope with.
Is what Im telling you helping to strengthen your faith in spite of circumstances? Well thats what Id call real faith, and as
it should be: based on My Word.
How many faults and flaws can you put up with in your life, and keep your faith alive?
Its all about keeping the faith in spite of it all.
Pin your faith not on your conditions and circumstances, but on Us your Makers, accompaniments and Helpers from
Heaven, who are looking forward to one making it through all those tests of faith, and managing some score in Our
heavenly Education, in which faith happens to be one of the major topics!
Can or will you manage to keep that faith alive in spite of any conditions and circumstances trying to destroy it?
Can you believe in a perfect God, in spite of imperfect circumstances and conditions? Believing in a perfect reason for the
perfect God to allow it all? Now, thats what Id call perfect faith! (17:16)
361
Thats what faith and trust in the Father amounts to: the confidence that He knows best, even in allowing whatever bad
happens to His children.
Take it as a fact that He knows what Hes doing or allowing!
It may not be according to your sense and concept of perfection, but just keep on trusting that His is the better one! (17:17)

Put your faith in the momentarily invisible, instead of all you can see around you! Thats whats called faith: to place your
reliance on the presently invisible, and see the Spirit World as the more reliable Source of what you can put your trust in.
(17:18)

Unpleasant circumstances may make you wonder what on Earth is supposed to be your purpose down there, and thus,
another test of faith but remember that the strengthening of your faith through its tests are one of the most important
processes of preparation for the times to come! Faith is what will see you through nothing else! (17:22)

Its gonna get tougher and thats one of the main reasons why youve got to put your trust in Me. And the unfavorable
circumstances youre having to go through are the best to teach you that.
Reliance on circumstances and the best folks can make out of the world around them by themselves just isnt what Id
call faith at least not in the right thing the visible, instead of what can only be perceived through faith. (17:23)

Thats what faith is: Not to let circumstances and conditions around you affect and drag you down, but keep your focus
directed Up Here, where theres enough Power to help you make it through anything. (17:26)

Trust in the fact that the Father and I know what Were allowing, even if initially it may not make that much sense to
you!
And youll eventually see the good side and results of it all. Even if at present it may still be a test of faith. So, keep
believing and trusting in Us and Our way, no matter what happens; even if you cant manage to see the good in it yet!
Amen?
Keep searching for the good in folks, not losing the faith and hope that you might find some! (17:27)

Not having a clue how to make it leaves it all more up to your faith in Me and the Help from Above, whether and if youre
gonna. So, the challenge of faith is pretty much: how much are you going to leave the challenge up to Us?
Learning how to make it in spite of negative conditions strengthens your abilities, and most of all, your abilities of faith
and trust in Us in spite of all that comes and whatever happens.
So, got the faith that We can help you make it through whatever happens? Well, thats what unpleasant circumstances are
there for: to teach you that.
It shows the strength of your faith how much you manage to put up with, and make the best you can out of and in spite of
it. (17:31)

Those are often the greatest tests of faith: to keep believing that We Up Here know what Were allowing to happen down
there, when they dont seem to make much if any sense to you and rational thinking.
In other words: can you still believe in Our wisdom, even if whats going on down there doesnt make any sense to you?
The fact that things didnt make sense to some caused them to loose their faith. In other words, they considered
themselves smarter than God, or wouldnt have allowed such seemingly meaningless things to happen. (17:32)

Relying on the Spirit is all based on faith in what you cant see right now. And its a fairly rare gift these days, with folks
being filled with visual inputs more than ever before in history. One other side-effect of TVs, movies, computer screens
and quite a few other factors.
Faith basically means not going by that, but your connection with the presently invisible God greater emphasis on the
Spirit. (17:37)

Letting My influence on you be stronger than that of folks around you is not an easy task, and its one of those challenges
of faith, but if you want to live the faith-life, thats what youve got to learn!
Its another aspect of seeing vs. believing setting your faith and trust in whats currently around you, or Up Here.
Having faith in whats around you couldnt really be called faith, since faith means believing in the things you dont see.
And yet, most people simply believe in what they see and is going on around them, with their minds telling them it will all
go on as it is for the rest of their lives.
Not exactly knowing where your track or My planned track for you is heading, also requires faith and trust, but its also
part of the preparation for the days and years to come when itll be a lot tougher yet to know whatll be on the schedule for
the next day, week, month, or even years.
Staying on a positive track and wavelength in spite of all the negative happening around you now that would be the path
of faith! (17:38)

Thats what faith is mainly all about: To help My believers make it through the troublesome times that are expecting them
in this world currently run by our enemy.
This world is currently run by our enemy, of which fact you can see the results pretty much anywhere around you.
The art of living the life of faith is to learn to look beyond all that, and let your faith in better things to come cheer you up in
spite of all that goes on around you.
362
Have faith in a brighter future in spite of the darkest future up ahead and right before you to come! Now, thats faith! (17:40)

Have the courage and the faith, that even if hardly anyone else may be, Im still with you! And Im with you means: Ill see
you through! (17:41)

Just put your faith in Me, that Im going to see you through, no matter what it takes down there!
Miracles are the factors that create faith in people more than the Word since its just easier for folks to believe in what
they can see and experience.
Once miracles are needed, theyll make faith grow. (17:43)

Thats what in the end proves what your faith is really like, and whether its really real: How youll make it through those
tests and trials.
When their Savior died, having been nailed to a cross like a criminal and buried, my eleven disciples had a hard time
believing, too, whether I was the Real Thing, after all. But when the dead One stood before them
So, if something threatens to kill your faith, let Me raise it up again for you!
When circumstances seem disastrous well, thats the big check point thatll turn out proving how real your faith really is.
Its those tests of faith that make it really real and stronger. Its easier to believe in the things and circumstances you
witness going on around and before you and often, they dont seem to let much left to believe in thats beyond the
circumstances. But thats when real faith sets in: The kind that believes in spite of the visible, physical circumstances.
What can you expect of a world run by Our enemy? The one whod love to be the destroyer of folks faith? (17:45)

My plan for you is for you to learn to live by faith each day. And not knowing far beforehand where it'll lead you is part of it.
- Trusting Me completely for what's coming, that's the plan and goal.
Not really knowing what's up ahead means having to trust in Me completely for it, and in a world getting darker by the
hour, it just means: get the point to depend on Me!
That's what faith is all about: Gearing your vision and focus beyond the physical circumstances, and Up Here, toward Our
Kingdom of the Spirit instead, which you must believe is more real and steady than the temporal physical world, even if
that takes a lot of faith.
That's why faith is so important: Have your mind geared toward the truly lasting Things, not the temporal and physically
visible things down there that are in a downhill movement thanks to the one temporarily in charge of it!
Keep your faith in Us instead of what you can behold with your eyes all around you! That's what faith is all about. So, make
it the pretty much most important factor in your life! (17:48)

Trusting Me for the reasons I'm allowing things to happen to you is just one thing you're going to have to do for sticking to
your faith.
Remember it's the thing the devil fights the most against and seeks to destroy the most fervently: your faith!
It's because it'll be the only thing that will see you through his greatest times to come down there, which for My believers
will be the roughest.
It takes a bit of trust in that fact that I know what I'm doing and allowing, even if it presently it doesn't make much - if any -
sense to you.
But trusting Me in spite of that factor... well, that's what faith is all about: Trusting your Creator in spite of things you see
going on around you. (17:49)

The problems youre facing: continue trusting in spite of them!

Youve got to trust Me that I know what Im allowing as the best for you. (17:54)

Trust Me and the Father that We know what we're allowing to come before you!
See, that's part of faith and trust: to trust Us that We know what We're allowing. - Even if it's not something pleasant for
you, or even what you'd consider something downright bad.
It contains a bit of trust in the fact that We also know what's good or the best for you.
To accept by faith what We're allowing, and even praise Us for the seemingly negative, now that would be the stand of faith
We love and definitely approve - make Us proud of you.
So, don't just go by the negative look of circumstances, but pin your faith on what's beyond what you can see! (17:59)

Patience and trust are what youve got to learn. To put up with difficult situations, and show some patience and some faith
that Well rescue you out of it at Our time well, thats what you need to develop.
Dont be too worried, nor let worries rule your sentiments and moods! - But let it be trust and confidence in Us that rules
you!
If situations and circumstances are getting tough, trust Us that We know what Were allowing! It may be a big test of faith,
but as I told you: its one of the necessities; finding out where your faith and trust are really at, and if theyre not what they
should be, to strengthen them through having to put them more into action through circumstances that arent the normal
type, where youve just got to put your trust in Us and the fact that We know what Were doing and allowing. (17:60)

To accept whatever I and the Father allow to happen to you takes faith, doesnt it? (17:61)

Thats what faith is there for: to draw folks attention to the positive origin of it all when theyre too overwhelmed by the
negative taking control down there. (17:63)
363
Making your faith in whats beyond bigger than the challenging circumstances, well, thats what you should see as the
goal.
Aim for the goal of the ability to rise above whats going on around you to make your faith bigger than the effect those
physical conditions and circumstances are having on you. Aim for that goal! To let your faith enable you to rise above the
physical circumstances! Your faith in whats coming beyond all this! - The faith in the better to come! - And thus make that
faith grow into a state in which it will be easier for you to share it with others!
So, keep your vision on that goal of sharing your faith!
Got the faith and vision that you can make it there? Well, that would be Our goal for you. Regardless of whatever happens
and is going on around you. (17:65)

Even if youre feeling physically weaker than any time before, and it takes you a lot of faith that that weakness of yours is
supposed to pull down My Strength, make some moves toward trusting in that Promise, along with all the others! Trust in
My Promises is what youll need to make it through times coming.
You simply may not be able to trust in and rely on your own capacities anymore the way you were used to, but take My
Word for it, that thats the clue thatll see you through, namely trusting in My Strength and Power, instead of your own!
How much do you believe in My Promises that theyre true, and Im going to keepem?
Learn to trust not only because of blessings and pleasant circumstances, but rather in spite of the not so rosy
circumstances, even if thats not quite yet what youre used to! (17:66)

When I alone seem to be the one who knows if or when somethings going to happen, its a test of faith. Can you manage
to not know when things will happen? You manage to put your faith in Me knowing, instead of your own knowledge?
Isnt that what trust would be? Relying on your Lord and Masters knowing, and live with it that you personally dont? (17:70)

To be ready to receive My changes for the positive without knowing exactly what is up ahead, includes the need for faith
and trust! (17:71)

Tests of faith: when things happen one didnt expect.

The question is, will you keep and hang on to it anyway? Cling to your faith in spite of circumstances?
Now, wouldnt that be strong faith? To be willing to go through a similar fate your Savior endured for you (17:74)

Learn not to let the physical conditions drag you down, but stay up through faith in what lies beyond it all!
Set your faith Up Here, not down there!
Trust in Me and that I know what Im giving you is what you need! (17:75)

As Im teaching you that you cant expect perfection from anyone down there, they also cant expect it of you.
But you should point them in the direction where they can. - Even if thats a matter of faith, which again, you should do
your best to inspire them to ignite and get kindled in their lives.
Not an easy job? But yet, the only true alternative to offer. And shouldnt that be a factor that makes all efforts worth it?
(17:77)

Learn to trust in what Were allowing! And remember theyre often tests, not only of your faith, but also of your behavior
and reaction!
Can you trust God that He knows what Hes allowing? Otherwise, thats not much faith! (17:78)

Count on heavenly, not earthly reliability! - A matter of faith, I know; but see it as a test of whether it will really be the factor
to pull and see you through, as Ive been proclaiming for so long! Let it show you what it really means, In the beginning
was the Word! - And all things were made by Him! (17:79)

When the worries set in, How will we make it? thats where youve got to let faith and trust take them over!
Whats coming is not a period where physical abilities play the leading role, as they still might do currently, but during
which the spiritual factor of faith will take over the place of the leading force factor in peoples lives wholl make it in spite
of the worst and darkest circumstances ever.
Im trying to raise your faith in the vision of the unseen: The Place where all thats seen around you has come from, even if
only acceptable through faith - a faith that the enemys wave of education has been working on eliminating from the
majoritys minds for decades.
It all depends on what folks put their faith, trust and confidence in: the stuff theyre being told by the System around them,
or the officially unaccepted points of view of believers in Creation and the Creator instead.
Your true and lasting treasure is based on your faith
How real and strong is your faith in beyond what you can see and perceive with your physical senses?
Pitch your faith not on who or whats around you, but Up Here! (17:81)

Youve got to have faith in My Love.

Youve got to have faith in My Strength and Power to do the things through you!
Keep your trust in Me in spite of your incapabilities, in order to make it clear and obvious that itll be Me working through
you!
Just trust Me that I can see what lies in you beyond that which you can see or perceive of yourself!
364
Dont let circumstances affect your faith! Faith should be something there in spite of them! - Faith in a higher Power than
the stuff thats going on around you. (17:82)

Remember another matter of faith: to not go by what you can see in front of you, but to just keep trusting Me for
whatevers coming! (17:83)

Thats part of the way of faith: to learn to deal with things which to unbelievers and the faithless seem impossible but not
to those who believe in My Words: All things are possible to him that believeth (Lk.9:23).
Get ready for things getting worse, and get ready means: let your faith grow!
Thats the way - and the only one - to make it through whats coming: letting your faith grow. (17:87)

With no idea how youll be making it, its best to put your faith in Us Wholl help you whenever you cant make it on your
own and ask Us.
If ye ask, ye shall receive (Mt.21:22). - Providing you believe.
Accepting, tolerating and receiving whatever your Creator deems fit to come upon you requires faith, I admit but wasnt
that the important thing of it all?
Even love, the way its meant to be isnt quite possible without faith and believing in the God of Love.
So, as far as the temporal world and condition youre living in right now is concerned, faith is in some aspects more
important than the greatest of these, which will simply be more permanent and lasting.
But in order to have it now, you might need some faith!
So, do all you can to resist its enemies of fear and doubt! Its just about the most important thing to hang on to in that life
down there. Even loves becoming so rare there, that you need to have faith in it, that it still exists in spite of what you see
and hear all around you. (17:91)

Youve got to make your faith grow in the fact that when you do what you can, Ill do what you cant! (17:92)

Expect My Help from Above by faith to see you through the challenges!
Put your trust in Me, not your own natural abilities to make it!
Putting your trust Up Here will make the necessary difference.
And take that shield of faith to protect you from negative effects of physical situations, conditions and circumstances! -
Thats faith!
Not many believe, but thats what makes real faith so rare in that world youre living in. So rare, and thus, precious.
The reason why faith is becoming more important than love, the greatest, in these times, is that youre entering the times I
prophesied, when the love of many will wax cold. And it becomes simply more important to just even keep that faith in
love, which is God, and which all around you seems to be disappearing, along with the faith in Him.
To believe in the God that John said was Love takes faith. Faith to bring you close to that God of Love to teach you what It
really is.
In these days, youve got to have faith in love, in order to have and be capable of showing true love.
While its still true that the greatest of these is love, its simply becoming more necessary to have faith in that love,
because the times in which youre living, that love is becoming rarer by the minute.
So, keep that faith in love, in order to keep the true Love!
Its becoming practically the most important for you to hear from Me, in order to keep your faith!
The love of many shall wax cold.
Thats why youve got to keep fighting to keep your faith in it, even if its hardly left to see anywhere around you. (17:93)

Thats what faith is all about: not just believing in whats right before and in front of you, but that Goal of the Spirit, which
isnt visible yet from the physical viewpoint of the eyes. (17:97)

Keep trusting that I know what Im allowing to happen to you and what youve got to face, principally in order to raise your
faith and confidence and make them stronger!
Faith is: not letting your life be entirely governed by worldly conditions and whats going on around you, but by whats
supposed to lead, guide, direct and empower you from beyond and Above all that!
If the conditions down there are getting tougher, well, its just all the more incentive to point your faith and confidence in
the right direction. - Not letting it be influenced - and thus, weakened - by all thats going on around you down there, but
staying spiritually focused on your Goal and Destination. (17:98)

Make your faith the major force of your life, because it will be the most important! - The Force to make you rise above all
thats coming.
Let faith replace your fears and worries! Make it the major force in your life!
To keep strengthening your faith is pretty much the main job you have right now, because for whats coming, youll need a
lot of it! I said it just has to be the size of a mustard seed, but with the enemys enlargement of the hellish state on Earth,
that mustard seed has to grow in order to help you rise above his major influences on the world in its greatest state of
darkness coming. (17:99)

The ability to spot the positive within the negative is what the gift of faith is supposed to bring out in you, looking beyond
whats right before your eyes the sight of faith. (17:101)

365
Youve got to have that faith in Me that if its My will for you to make it through the worlds time of utter toughness and
darkness, if youve got a job and purpose for Me to fulfill down there, nothing can stand against it, and according to My
purpose, youre unstoppable! (17:103)

Youve got to get into the mindgear of trusting in Me, that Ill take care of you, no matter what the conditions are, and not
let worries enter in!
Trust in My Promises, that Ill care for you, no matter what!
The enemy has sown it into folks minds that theyve got to work for their survival, and thats one of the big differences
that faith should make in peoples lives. Faith is the opposite of worry, fear and doubt.
So, keep trusting in the Father and Me, that Well take care of you - no matter what comes!
With circumstances and times getting rougher, it becomes more of a challenge to keep that faith and trust in Me and not to
worry, but thats - on the other hand - how they also get stronger. And faith has got to become your major force to make it
through the times to come!
Make yours a life of faith!
Take challenges as something positive to strengthen your faith in Me to help you manage and overcome them! (17:104)

That your Goal and Destination is another one than what moves most folks around you is a factor of faith.
And while it may seem strange to others around you, dont let it seem like that to you, but remember the importance of
faith during the times to come!
When the times of darkness come, the only thing that will remind and assure you of the existence of Light will be your
faith, for with the eyes folks wont be able to see it anymore, but only through the vision of faith. (17:105)

Part of the ability to change is definitely to pray for it, and have the faith that I can change you and make out of you what
youre supposed to be!
Once Ive changed you and your inner attitudes, youll just have a lot more positive faith in the positive changes I can bring
about elsewhere.
Keep trusting Us that We knew what We made and permitted, and that it will have a happy ending in spite of the dark
circumstances that path will have to lead through, in order for mankind to learn to appreciate the positive difference!
(17:106)

Dont let the present influence your mindset as much as the future - by faith!
Its natural to want and desire improvement for the right here and now, but thats another aspect of faith: Its largely
directed toward a better, coming There & Then. (17:107)

So, hows your faith doing that Ill care for you? Overcoming the worries? Positive faith like that is a necessity to make it
through whats to come. So, its important for you to strengthen your faith each morning, and not let your days be ruled by
the physical circumstances.
The announced changes are about to take place, and what theyll require is a lot more faith to make it through.
So, hitch your faith on Me, regardless of the circumstances!
Even though theres darkness around and hard circumstances approaching, learn to let your faith in Me see you through
anything!
Just keep trusting in Me, more than relying on whats going on around you! Thats the faith to see you through, and thus
help others to make it through the seemingly impossible conditions to overcome, and why its called the life of faith.
(17:108)

While youre still having to make it through the toughest part of world history with our enemy taking over his greatest term
of rulership in the flesh, the major requirement to make it through those darkest times for My believers will be faith. (17:109)

Faith is basically giving the Creator the honor for whats been created. (17:110)

A lot of the life of faith is the factor how youre making it through the helluva mess our enemy has left of Our creation.
The life of faith is one that folks are living in spite of our enemys temporal rulership over Our creation. (17:112)

Remember that faith and trust in Me are the greatest spiritual forces to see you through whats coming! (17:113)

Open up your horizon and vision beyond the physical limitations youve been drilled to accept as facts, and make the
Facts of faith Im giving you more powerful sources of your mindset!
Be a believer! - Not a doubter or a trembler! (17:116)

Get that confidence that you can make it through Me, even if it may seem unlikely that you will!
Have faith in spite of the dark circumstances!
Even if the aspects look impossible to make it through, trust in the fact that with Me, nothing shall be impossible, and
remember that all things are possible to him that believeth; so it all pretty much depends on your faith, and according
to your faith be it unto you.
Take physical circumstances and conditions as a challenge for Me to make them better, and for you to grab hold of that
heavenly Power to transform the unpleasant into the good and pleasant!
Think I can do that?
366
Well, its what youve got to learn to believe.
Trust in Me that I know what Im allowing to confront you through your days in order to make you stronger, avail yourself
of the right Strength - from Above - in order to get you fit for the even much more challenging conditions to come!
Its one of the big differences between life of faith and the regular living of the masses: Life of faith isnt one where the next
steps or days are planned in advance according to some technical and routined schedules Its more like something
youve got to take by faith, meaning you cant see all the steps in front of you by sight, but have to believe and trust in Me
that Im leading and guiding you the right way!
Dont see lifes challenges as a negative, put accept them as a positive from Me, believing and trusting that I know what Im
doing! (17:118)

It takes an act of faith to see things in a different way from the way the masses around you do, but thats one of the factors
why difference from the crowd is an asset from Our heavenly point of view.
A difference between supposed knowledge and faith: Faith in something youve got to believe in even if you havent seen it
yet, is not as popular as the knowledge according to physical and carnal experiences But its the Stuff I rely on to work
through.
Its not your brain thats supposed to be telling you what to do, but that mysterious part called spirit, thats more closely
related to what they still call the heart.
Learn to rely on Me, not what you find, see, hear and feel down there! Thats faith, and what its supposed to help you do
and do for you. See faith as the source of Strength youll make it through the darkest and toughest times of history with,
getting ever closer!
To grow stronger in spirit is a total matter of faith (17:119)

Go through life in faith instead of fear and worry! - Even if the circumstances look a bit scary!
Trust in Me that I know what Im permitting, the way My earlier disciples did, many of whom died as shining martyrs!
Trust that whatevers coming will end up in some good!
Trust in Me, that Ill take care of you! - Even if the enemy tries to make you doubt that with his negative input!
So, see it as another reason and incentive for you to raise your faith and make it grow: to overcome the fears the enemy
would like to harm and weaken you with! (17:122)

The spiritual direction most downhill folks are heading may seem easier, and it may be easier in some ways, leaning on the
physical abilities of the flesh, instead of the unseen Force and Power of an unseen God but thats just the way of faith.
Trust in Him through Whose Words all things came into being, that He also knows what Hes doing and where Hell be
leading and guiding you once you made the decision to follow Him!
The ways of faith may be strange ones compared to the ways of the masses, but if youve got a glimpse of where the
masses are heading, you can only conclude that the way of faith is the better option. (17:123)

If things around you seem like a shabby negative, look by faith at the great Positive beyond it all!
I know, it takes faith to accept what Ive been allowing, but see it as part of the necessary preparation for not just uneasy
times, but the toughest and hardest ones of all of history!
Circumstances seem tough sometimes too tough to make it easy to believe in Something Better beyond it all.
It makes faith a tough challenge I guess.
But then the tougher the challenge, isnt it also going to result in even greater rewards?
Another matter of faith: to believe in Something Up There much later far from now too far sometimes
Sometimes tough situations make you think make you wander make you doubt.
Another battle that faith is going through and can you believe Me that itll just make it stronger and purer? (17:126)

It takes utter faith to love a God with all your heart that you cant see with your physical eyes. (17:127)

Remember that its a challenge for Me to prove My capability of taking care of and protecting you maybe just limited by
the challenge for your faith that I will.
According to your faith be it unto you.
To trust Me for the factor and means I choose to take you Home is another one of those faith ordeals that make things to
that extent dependent on you according to your faith.
According to your faith means, not according to your own abilities, but according to Mine, and your faith in, and thus,
the ability to use Them. (17:128)

How about keeping trusting in Me for no matter what comes?

So, take it by faith that We Up Here know what Were doing and allowing to happen to you and confront you with down
there! (17:129)

Trust in and depend on Me to help and enable you to make it through the darkest times!
Have the faith that Im going to see you through somehow! (17:130)

Let Me clean and free you from your fears and worries! - And strengthen your faith and trust - whats going to be the major
source of power to make it through! - No matter how dark the times. (17:131)

367
Just be ready for whatever! Can you trust Me with and for your life like that? And what other option is there, anyway? Just
have the faith that Ill allow whatever will be best in your life, according to what I know would be the best!
Can you trust Me for that? That whatever I allow, itll be okay?
Why not have the faith that whatever I allow for you to have to go through in life is just the best option and what you
need even if it can be painful, or even downright disastrous at times?
Can you trust Me for life and for whatever I allow to happen in it? That its got a sense and purpose? And whatever ending
it will have?
Isnt that what would spell acceptance? - Taking life as it comes just trusting the Creator that He knows what Hes doing
and allowing, even if it might take a lot of faith and trust for some of that level of acceptance?
Praying Thy will be done shows that someones got the faith that God knows best what Hes permitting and allowing to
happen, even if it may not look like it
It takes faith to believe in a perfect God when Hes allowing imperfect circumstances to cope with, but thats what faith is
all about: Not believing just in what youre seeing, but focusing beyond all that, toward Something Better coming!
One of the main messages of faith: Something Better is coming! (17:133)

Can you trust Me that I know what Im allowing to happen in your life instead of blaming Me for it?
Can you keep trusting Me that I know what Im doing?
Faith and trust in Me are becoming the most important factors to see you through whats coming, and thus, the most
important task you could think of is to keep them alive and growing through that Thing that made all things grow and
come to live to begin with: My Word. (17:134)

No matter what happens or how tough it gets, just keep that faith up! Faith becoming more important than circumstances
would be something Id call a goal worth trying to attain and aim for. Faith beyond circumstances, their impact and
importance believing and trusting in My in spite of no matter what.
If faith takes the role above your circumstances in levels of importance and impact, well Id call that getting closer to
what I may have put up there as your personal goal for Me to reach, and apparently youre getting a bit closer to that goal,
since the circumstances are becoming so tough and weird, that you simply need faith to manage making it through them
and in spite of them.
Faith in spite of no matter what happens would be another theme Its part of that process of giving Me the first place,
when faith takes over the importance of circumstances.
Make that faith in Me your ultimate Source of Power to make it through whats coming! (17:135)

Trust Us that whatever comes, Well also help you handle it! Just take it - by faith!
Even if conditions, circumstances and company around you make it just about tougher every day Take it by faith! (17:138)

Trust in Me that I wont fail you!

Faith and trust will be the most necessary assets for anyone to make it through the dark times coming. So, cling to them
as much as you can!
Faith and trust will be what youll need the most, and thats a principal reason for Me pouring out My Words and input to
you: to make them grow through them. (17:140)

You dont have to do it yourself. Trusting Me to do it for you is the challenge of faith.
To have the faith in Me to do it for you is just about the best thing you can have in a time when theres just no other way to
make it through!
Keep up your faith in Something Else than your surroundings! Keep it pointed Up Here your Home! - And a whole lot
better One than anything you could get to enjoy down there trust Me! (17:143)

Thanking Me even for seemingly negative circumstances, trusting Me that I know what Im allowing, now thats faith!
And keeping in mind the factor of the attempt to make the best out of it you can through faith!
Remember that faith will be the principal survival factor through times to come, and taking and accepting things and
circumstances as they are is an important part of it.
Dont let the enemy come in with his doubts, but learn to take it all by faith!
The most important part to learn to accept in life is what I allow to happen to you, trusting Me by faith that I know whats
best for you, even if the enemy will try to convince you of the opposite with his negative input and doubts.
Keep fighting for your faith, knowing that itll be the most important issue and gift to see you through the dark times
coming! - Faith in spite of physical circumstances and conditions.
So, can you give thanks even for conditions and circumstances that seem a bit rough for you, knowing that I know what I
allow as the ultimately best for you, even if on the surface it may not seem that way? - One of the main points of faith:
managing to see beyond the physical appearances.
Trust in Us, the Father and Me, that We know what Were allowing and permitting, even if the enemy will do all he can to
make it absolutely not look like that! (17:144)

Just get filled with the confidence that no matter what, Ill see you through! - Through faith!
Remember that all that needs to keep growing in order to make it is your faith! (17:145)

Sometimes the mystery and factor of walking by faith when youre not sure of the details is something that should
strengthen your trust in Me, that even when you dont know, you keep trusting that I, the One Who should, does.
368
So, walking by faith means walking in the trust in Him Who knows what you dont, and trust Him for leading and guiding
you through it all, and when there are some details you should and need to know, Hell reveal them to you.
Thats the asset of revelation. Whatever you need to know, Ill reveal unto you, if you have the necessary faith and trust,
which keeps growing through your gift of believing in Me and hearing from Me.
Faith cometh by knowing Me and hearing from Me. In other words, through your connection with Me, which is a factor that
will become absolutely vital during the dark times approaching. (17:146)

369
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Faithfulness, Perseverance, Endurance & Loyalty

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. -- 1Cor.4:2

Cling to Me! (I:11)

You must strive to be faithful in the little things Ive told you to do, before I can trust you with bigger, greater things. Its
natural for man, in his pride, to seek greater things for himself, but the way of My workings of the Spirit is that you have to
show yourself faithful in the little first, before you can be trusted with more. (I:36)

Only My faithful ones, those who truly give their lives in order for others to find Me will be rewarded richly. (I:47)

Trust in Me, focus on Me, hold Me tight and never let go, because without Me youre lost. (I:75)

Youve got to keep fighting that old man, youve got to keep forsaking all and youve got to re-commit yourself to Me and
My cause afresh every day!
Be faithful everyday to say yes to Me, over and over again! (I:176)

All I ask is that you be faithful in the little things. (I:252)

There are times when it seems perfectly legitimate, reasonable and alright to quit; the only reasonable thing left to do. But
those are often the times when the true heroes are born, those who say, Lord, contrary to all the circumstances, contrary
to what my mind tells me and contrary to the way I feel, in spite of the fact that I know that this rugged road in front of me
here will bring a lot of pain and suffering, as it already has, in fact Im still suffering... In spite of all this, Lord, I decide and
choose to keep going for You! There are a thousand voices telling me this cant be the right way when it hurts and feels so
bad, but Im just going to follow You and Your dreadful road up to that cross, because I believe in You: You are worth it, and
I dont really want anything else but You! Ill follow! To the death!
Those who have any other motives will sooner or later peter out, anyway. Only those who have Me for a motivation and
incentive to keep going will find the strength to keep going, no matter what. (I:255)

You dont have an easy task and I dont blame you for wanting to give up. The problem is, if you give up prematurely, youll
always wonder, What if I had kept trying? Would we have succeeded? The true pioneer would rather die trying than quit
prematurely. Thats why I dont want you to throw in the towel yet: I want you to become a true pioneer and a perseverer.
Hold on! (I:274)

I teach you faithfulness in the least, before I pour out My blessings on you fully. (I:287)

Your first and foremost responsibility is your loyalty to Me! (I:293)

Stick to Me and dont do a thing on your own! Build your house on the Rock and not on the sand! (I:306)

Faithfully keep your daily appointments with Me, and faithfully keep loving Me, sitting at My feet and keep drinking in My
Words of Life, which will quicken you, keep you alive and in My Spirit! (I:312)

There will always be a few things in life you wont understand, which will be an inexplicable riddle to you. Those are My
tests and challenges for you.
Its a test of love, to see whether you will love unconditionally, a test of your loyalty to Me, to see whether youre willing to
go on for Me. (I:332)

If you abide in Me and I in you, youll be so full of My input and so tuned in to My Power, you will overcome all the negative
vibes around you. (I:345)

Sometimes the plan for the day is just to stay faithful in the little things... doing what you can to help the other one to make
it through their day and their battles with at least the knowledge that there's someone who cares for them, is concerned
about them, prays for them.
Once I've seen how faithful you have been with the little things I have given you to care for, I can also trust you with
something greater: a wonderful witnessing opportunity, or something completely unexpected...
Him that I can trust in that which is least, I will also trust with greater things, but those who are not faithful in the little
things, often first have to learn to appreciate what they've got. (I:411)

What is important is that you stay faithful and close to Me. (I:415)

370
Even if you never become a better player than you are right now - and I'm saying this in spite of the fact that I want you to
make progress - what matters most to Me is that you keep playing at all and don't quit. (I:447)

You're going to have to show faithfulness in the little things before I can trust you with bigger things. That's just the way it
works.
As long as you faithfully obey Me, I bless you accordingly. (I:449)

It's not that I mind you having fun, I just want you to include Me and let Me in on the fun, and not all of a sudden act as if
you never knew Me. Where is your loyalty to Me? (I:458)

Sometimes, instead of running away or seeking a new situation to run to, I'm expecting you to look for ways to improve
your current situation first, not giving up on folks around you prematurely. You're My love for them, so, don't seek for Me
to take you - My love for them - away from them prematurely, when I'm not done yet loving them through you, okay? (I:476)

Are you willing to learn and to acquire a greater love than what you have known and called love thus far?
Are you willing to be a prisoner of love and in this find the greatest freedom?
It's all got to do with loyalty, commitment, being a faithful and reliable friend, it's all got to do with being a man of honor.
It's not a pride trip I'm talking about. It's seeing through to the end what you've started, not stopping at any point short of
death and the ultimate extreme. It's learning all that you have not yet known about love. (I:493)

I have chosen you to become a special vessel to absorb what I am giving. The only requirement is that you stay faithful to
Me, that you don't take this liberty I have given you as a license to do as you please or to get sidetracked with other things,
but you must constantly seek Me as to how I want you to invest the time I have given you. (I:509)

Whoever happens to be fighting on your side, alongside you in My army at the moment is your brother or sister in arms,
and they deserve your loyalty, in spite of any and all weaknesses or flaws. (I:531)

Persistence equals victory! You've just got to keep on! And nothing else matters! (I:537)

I don't reward people according to their "great accomplishments," but for their faithfulness in the little things. (I:551)

I'll reward your faithfulness in the little things by being faithful to you, even and especially during the tough times. (I:567)

You've got to be faithful in that which is least in your eyes, before I can bless you with that which you consider much. (I:584)

Those who stay faithful to Me and trust Me, those who remain because there's nowhere else to go, are much better off than
those who prefer to secure their living with their own abilities. (II:59)

"He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much," if you're faithful to get out the message in a low position, then
you'll also be faithful to get it out when you're in a more elevated position. (II:81)

I cannot really trust to give you more, if you're not faithful with what you've got, and you certainly cannot be faithful with
what you've got if you don't appreciate it at all and despise it. (II:86)

The perfect things are going to come later. First I must test every man to see how faithful they are in the little things!
Be faithful in the least, and then I will also reward you with much! (II:103)

No matter how "legitimate" anyone's excuse for quitting, it's still an excuse for quitting, and what they should have done
was to keep on fighting, no matter how hard the battle, no matter how hot the test. (II:114)

Those who couldn't make it, those who quit, will have an extra amount of love and admiration for those who didn't quit,
who held on in spite of the hardships, because they will know that it took something they didn't have. As long as you're not
giving up, and as long as you're making some kind of progress and forward movement, not subtly sliding back, but
learning from what I show you, you're winning!
Youre a winner, one of those who is going to be held in high esteem and admiration forever by your brothers and mates,
because you're holding on.
Blessed are those who are holding on, who are not giving up, no matter how much temptation makes them waver or may
be tempting them to quit. (II:119)

It's a fine art, to be able to live in the here and now and fully enjoy it, especially in this day and age when you're constantly
bombarded with advertisements for the "other side of the fence" where the grass looks so much greener.
But you have to combat these temptations, in your effort to cultivate your stick-to-itiveness and persistence and
determination to do all you can right where you are. It's another aspect of being faithful in the least, for I cannot promote
you, unless you've shown what you can in the situation you are.
You can flow with My anointing and float on the cloud of My Spirit if you know you're right where you're meant to be, and
that you can make the most of that situation right where you are, wherever you are, no matter what the circumstances. You
don't have to wish you were anywhere else, in fact you must not. It's poison to your spirit and your fruitfulness. Just tune
371
in and join in and step right into life right where you are, knowing that I have put you in the place where you're supposed to
be, and if it weren't so, I would have told you or opened the door for you to go elsewhere. (II:126)

Don't let resignation in! You've got to believe, hold on at any cost! (II:150)

You still have a lot to learn about faithfulness in the little things.
You can be My hero by being faithful in the small and little things.
The little things you can accomplish by striving for the gifts of humility and faithfully doing whatever you can to really
unselfishly be of help to others for them to make it on their way, that's what I consider mighty works.
For I look not as man sees. To be faithful in prayer for others, to be faithfully studying and absorbing My Word, to faithfully
tend to the needs of the little ones around you, to faithfully and humbly and gratefully continue to praise Me, even in the
midst of adverse circumstances... that's what I call mighty feats of the Spirit! (II:192)

It takes perseverance to change the world, not letting adversity discourage you and turn you away at the first show of
resistance. (II:203)

True devotion and loyalty: No ifs, buts or conditions attached. (II:211)

You're on show and on trial for Us to see what you do with the smallest possible unit, how faithful you're going to be in
"that which is least."
Don't just idly seek to enjoy the situation as much as possible, trying to squeeze the most fun or ease out of it, but work at
it! Put something into it! (II:216)

The true believers would rather go down with the ship than desert it! If you really believe that this is My ship, then you will
rather go down with it, when it seems as if it's sinking, than to jump off in order to try to save your own neck.
If you really believe and know that I am the Captain of this ship, you won't jump into a life boat to try and be your own
captain and "branch" out into your own business. (II:263)

Find true fulfillment and satisfaction in faithfully doing the humble, little things, keeping on giving out My message and
being a living sample of it, even if you think you're not accomplishing much! (II:268)

Those who hold on have got a mightier thing going than anything anyone could accomplish on their own, no matter how
great or strong they may be or think they are. Because this is My doing, and it has been from the beginning. What you
accomplish in it is not quite as important as that you stick with it, remain a part of it, help to maintain it and do what you
can to keep it functioning.
Faithfulness and loyalty to Me is a great thing. A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in the little things is a great
thing.
Faith in Me is a little, unimportant, maybe even ridiculous thing to many unbelievers and scoffers, but faithfulness to Me is
a big thing. I don't even care how successful you are, how great, or what "biiiig" gifts you have, "one thing is required in
stewards, that a man be found faithful!" (1.Cor.4:2)
That's all I ask, and blessed is that servant who will have been found faithful! (II:283)

You must hold on and not give up in order to inherit the promise, the fruit of your labors, suffering and patience. (II:316)

There will always - in this world - be frictions within families, for various reasons. But real love, loyalty and faithfulness
doesn't just stick around as long as you need the ones you love, but even long after that, simply in gratitude for what you
have received when you were in need, and so that you can return some of the love that you're in a position to give, even if
it requires some sacrifice.
It's easy to give up, to chicken out and run when the going gets tough! Everybody can do that. But I'm not going to win this
war with those who run away when the going gets tough, only with folks who stick, come hell or high water; for them there
is no such thing as giving up. (II:511)

He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much. (II:513)

"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 and tell you all the secrets, but you've got to do the "wenting," you've got to try them out and put them into practice.
What I tell you always works. Sometimes you just got to try a little bit harder. (II:519)

I will reward you for your faithfulness in the past, but what about your faithfulness today? I need you today more than I
needed you yesterday! As the days are getting darker, and the final battle comes closer, I need all the help I can get!
That's why it's so important to Me that you stay faithful to Me each day, each moment. There cannot be an unguarded
moment.
Remember Amundsen's "Don't rescue me prematurely!" Don't let the devil relieve you prematurely of your duties to Me,
before I have dismissed you! Don't let him cheat you out of the greatest blessings and rewards by listening to his "It's time
to relax now," when it really isn't!

372
Stay faithful to Me at every instant, every moment, and don't let the enemy call the shots or "time for a break!" It's not his
right to do so, since I'm the one calling the shots, and you'd better stay in tune with Me and make sure they're My shots
and My instructions! (II:526)

I'm not expecting any great accomplishments from you; I just expect you to be faithful in the little things. (II:565)

The enemy knows what tricks he needs to pull out in order to slow you down and tempt you to give up, to say, "Its no
use." You think you could have probably handled any set of circumstances, but not these, but you can tell that that's just
his engineering. He knows a lot about you and your weaknesses, too, and what you're the least likely to be able to handle.
Well, that's his job for Me: to test you and 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 certain 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 and the disease.
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! (II:568)

You think you're in "the wrong film" or that something must have gone wrong for you to have wound up in that situation,
that certainly I must have made a mistake, or your whole life was out of control to begin with.
All that is what the enemy would like to have you believe in order for you to take on a defeatist attitude, and to get you to
give up. "Give up! It's no use! Why keep on fighting? You don't stand a chance anyway!" And sometimes the only answer
that comes to your mind, when he asks you "Why keep on fighting?," is "Because I choose to." You choose not to give up,
not to surrender to him, that's your choice and your determination, and that's what's going to give you the victory,
ultimately. (II:595)

Youre longing for comfort and relief, but what you really need is strength and perseverance, and these are not as easily
obtained, but come through tests of endurance. (II:637)

The trick for true, selfless givers is to remain faithful, not to become weary in well-doing. (II:654)

I need faithful warriors who encourage My people and tell them, "It pays to go on! It's worth it to continue fighting." (III:10)

You're all finally going to wind up in the Promised Land, thanks to those few Joshuas I will choose from among you, who
will lead you there.
Don't look at the murmurers and complainers, belly-achers and choosers of the wrong track. Look at Me, and My purpose
behind it: to pick out from among them those who will stay faithful in spite of it all, and who will yet stick out from the rest
of them all by refusing to yield to the same temptations. The temptations will be there, but they won't yield to them. They
won't be perfect, either, but they're just going to have what it takes to lead My people Home... (III:16)

The grace is given when you need it - "Power for the hour." In the meantime, just keep hanging in there! It's going to be
alright! (III:36)

Patience and prayer is what you can contribute to the improvement of the situation. Trust that I'm at work on it. You're not
the only one who realized that something is wrong, and things are being done about it. In the meantime, consider it
another test whether you're going to stick or allow this to become your excuse to quit. (III:47)

Giving up is just about the equivalant of the original sin.

Adam and Eve gave up resisting the temptation, they gave up resisting evil, they gave up making that effort to strive to
obey Me at all costs... They gave up on believing Me and chose to believe the devil's lies instead.
Sometimes all you've got to do is hold on to the right thing when you've got it: the truth, the right way, the good work, and
refuse to give up, refuse to be distracted and stopped, no matter how hard the devil will try.
It's called perseverance. Faithfulness. Stick-to-it-iveness. The opposite of giving up. (III:99)

Quitting is an option that should be a total taboo for you. - A non-valid option, not even to be considered. (III:158)

You can make a difference. One man can make the difference. All those heroes made the difference because they refused
to give in.
They refused to let the devil persuade them that it was no use! They refused to quit. And you've just got to grasp the
importance of what it means not to quit. That's what made the difference between those who made it and those who didn't:
those who did, simply refused to quit.
You may have a hundred legitimate excuses of why you couldn't possibly be expected to make it, but the truth and magic
formula that's going to help you to make it in spite of any of those reasons still remains the same: refuse to quit!
I'm talking about quitting to make the effort to make a difference, to change anything. (III:188)

It's the love that is going to draw them to you: a love that is willing to go to any lengths for them, that isn't going to give up
on them too easily.
Do you love them enough to not let them go? To do all you possibly can in order to save them?
373
I need you to have an attitude that will not give up or resign too quickly but is willing to go to any length for the sheep, in
order to draw them in.
Put some umph into it! Don't give up too quickly!
Love includes not giving up on them prematurely.
Don't give up hope for them. Don't stop praying for them. Don't stop feeding them. Don't quit on them, and don't stop
holding on. Persistence and patience are two important factors in becoming a successful fisher of men. (III:204)

The flaws, mistakes and imperfections in your co-fighters have been little more than a big test of your faith, to see whether
you would still keep going for Me, still keep holding on faithfully, in spite of them. (III:205)

Sometimes you've just got to pray for the love to see things through.
Sometimes you've just got to see it through for My sake! Don't think about yourself so much, think about Me, how proud
it's going to make Me if you're going to see it through just for Me, even with no tangible reward involved. (III:230)

I'm not nearly as interested in numbers as in the degree of your dedication and faithfulness and effort to make the best out
of what you're given, and I'm the only One who can fairly and objectively judge that, taking all factors into consideration.
In Heaven, we have different measurements by which we calculate anyone's level of success. We don't go by numbers, the
amount of souls one has won, although it's great if someone has the gift to win hundreds or thousands to Me... But that
still doesn't necessarily make anyone a greater saint than a comparatively "unsuccessful" saint who's just been plodding
away faithfully at whatever their little tasks were they could do in order to make their world better for Me.
If you want to seek great things, seek the things I consider great, which will usually not be great achievements to call your
own, but things like faithfulness in helping others to live a happier life. (III:263)

Your success isn't measured by how many people will have accepted your message, but by your faithfulness in
proclaiming it. (III:265)

The only chance of victory is to keep on fighting. You cannot let the circumstances dissuade you or get you to quit.
There are only those two options: to either quit or keep on fighting, and sometimes quitting seems to be the more tempting
of the two for a while, until you come back to your senses and realize that it never really was an option in the first place.
(III:277)

In order to be given more, you've first got to be faithful with what you've got, and in order to be faithful with it, you've got
to appreciate it first. (III:306)

There's always a few minor operations you've got to perform at home and on yourself, first, before you're ready to face the
world and help them out with whatever their problems may be: you've got to wash up, brush your teeth, comb your hair
and get dressed, etc. So, there's a certain minimum amount of home maintenance required, before you can get involved in
any maintenance work on the outside world...
Faithfulness in the little things is a great thing well disguised. (III:328)

Youve got to refuse to let the devil lie to you and discourage you to that extent where you get to the point of wanting to
quit. That's precisely what he wants!
It's a rough and rugged way, and often you'll be tempted to wonder, "What in the world am I doing here, anyway?" There
won't be rounds of incessant applause. It's a rough and rugged, lonely road! With so many jumping off your wagon that
you're tempted to ask the last few who remain, "Are you also going to go away?" But then there will always be a faithful
few who will end up blowing your mind, making it worth it all!
When the majority has deserted you, the nice surprise is the few who stick! Who needs the majority? Who needs large
masses and crowds? All you need is a handful that stick! (III:356)

The onus is on you to change anything about it, not so much on the other parties involved. You can either want the
change, and do fight for it to happen, or give in.
I have put before you the ways of either life or death this day, for you to choose whether you'll take the high road or the low
road. What is it you're going to choose to do? Give up? Quit? Or keep fighting?
Quitting is not for Me, so don't ask Me, "Don't You think I should better quit?"
I can feel for you, extend My sympathies for your plight, and everything, but I can't possibly encourage you to give up!
Lets first try everything we possibly can to make it, to keep it going with renewed umph, strength and hope from Me.
If it would be My will for you to quit, I would have told you.
You're only through when I tell you you're through.
I just can't give up on you! Nor will I ever encourage you or tell you to give up on anyone else, especially not anyone you
have fought so many battles with and have come such a long way with.
Never give up on anyone prematurely, and always remember how I refuse to give up on you, no matter how bad you blow
it.
Remember the importance of keeping on believing in your people, and not allow some little sin of theirs that you're just as
guilty of to cause you to decide that you're going to quit loving them or believing in them! Don't commit the sin of ceasing
to pray for them (1Sam.12:23), of ceasing to have hope for them, and faith that I can salvage the situation, no matter how bad.
Don't give up on them, when I never would give up on you that easily!
How can you not hold on to others the way I have held on to you?
374
Did I give up on you? You may have expected Me to, but I didn't. Did I refuse to forgive you or stop believing in you? Did I
stop caring for you? You may have known that you would have deserved it, but I didn't. Even so, it is My will for you that
you don't give up on them, either. (III:367)

The trick is not to let the inside attacks of the Enemy dissuade you.
The clue is to keep fighting in spite of both your own weaknesses and theirs.
As the enemy tries his usual ploy of contradicting My Word and making everything look as if it's unraveling and going
topsy turvy, the trick is, not to be moved by any of these things, and to learn to look through his schemes, his desperate
efforts to discourage and dissuade you from your task. (III:370)

The first and no.1 requirement for a shepherd is love. Love that will last, love that will be able to look beyond peoples
failures. Youve just got to keep loving them, no matter what they do, you cant just stop loving them.
If loving Me and others is the top no.1 commandment, then the devil is going to try to get you to stop loving. Are you going
to let him?
Whatever you do, dont stop loving! Keep on loving, no matter what! There is just no excuse for failure to love. Theres no
valid excuse for stopping to love someone.
I wont excuse you for ceasing to love them. I expect you to keep loving as I have loved. (III:382)

Worse things are going to happen than whats happening right now, and youre just going to have to be able to keep going
in spite of them! You cannot let it influence you when those on your left and right are stumbling or falling. Youve got to
stand! You can make an effort to lift them up, if they want to be helped and lifted up and stand, but if not, you are going to
have to keep going and fighting anyway.
If they decide to go a different way, if they allow themselves to become lukewarm and be influenced and swayed by the
System, youre still going to have to keep going for Me!
Its not how much you accomplish for Me, how many youve reached for Me that counts, as much as how faithfully youve
been keeping going for Me in spite of unfavorable circumstances!
Make Me proud and keep going for Me, just for Me! You can do it! I know you can! I promised you can!
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth Me. Prove it! Do it! Make it come true! No matter what anyone else
says or does! Refuse to be diverted by it! Just keep going on, keep forging ahead in spite of anything they do or might not
do! Keep going right ahead! Will you do that for Me? (III:390)

Youve got to stay faithful to what I tell you, not their opinions. (III:411)

Will you have been a good and faithful servant, faithfully handing out the bread of life and serving them the water of life?
Or will you use the excuse, Well, I never saw any sample of a truly good and faithful servant to keep you from ever
becoming a good and faithful servant yourself? (III:417)

Being true lovers means to be going through thick and thin together, including the hard times. A fair weather relationship
isnt as lasting as one that has gone through many ups and downs.
I need folks who will hold on tight to Me through the storm, and wholl follow Me through thick and thin.
Thats the kind of love, friendship and relationship I need: the persistent type, the no-matter-what kind, the against-all-odds
sort, facing all difficulties and adverse circumstances. Youve got to be ready for a long stretch, and thats what Im
preparing you for.
Youll need to learn endurance to make it. You cant become impatient about My return, nor can you become weary of
hardship so easily. The best is yet to come, but unfortunately, the worst is also yet to come, so youll understand that it
takes a few more lessons on endurance before youll be ready for that darkest chapter of mans history. (III:420)

In order to finish some things you have started, youre just going to have to get over any lack of enthusiasm and
inspiration that hits you sometimes, since its natural to feel inspired about a project at the onset of it, but it usually wears
down the longer it drags on and actually becomes work.
Youll certainly get a lot more accomplished in the long run if you dont just wait for extraordinary inspiration to hit you,
but simply do it because you know you ought to, and keep working on something you started simply because you should
also finish it
Remember that one thing is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful, and your faithfulness in your work for Me is
one of the most important qualities, which you know from My Word Im going to praise you for.
So you know that faithfulness pays.
If you want to please Me and make Me happy, just be faithful in your work for Me. (III:435)

What matters to Me is that you remain faithful. Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. Thats
basically the only requirement.
Will you stick to what I have shown you, regardless of negative vibes, and gestures of rejection?
Its all a test of your loyalty to Me. Will he keep his heart set on Me? Will he remain loyal in spite of the temptation?
More often than not throughout history, the sad answer to that question has been no. What Im looking for especially, is
people who will reverse that often-observed course of destiny, and who will make a yes out of that, a reversal of that
generally observed pattern of destiny that so many have followed before, but one which chosen and special one chooses
to break out of to set a new standard of greater faith, greater obedience, greater loyalty and greater love for Me than their
predecessors. (III:446)
375
You feel as though this was some sort of Sisyphus task, to try to raise someone in My nurture and admonition whose heart
seems to be on the wrong side already, but you cant give up on them prematurely.
Sometimes they depend on what faith you have in them, and if you dont have any faith for them, they figure, Well, why
should I even keep trying then?
Im not talking about high expectations here, just enough faith that Im in control in spite of any of the momentary
circumstances and the way things may seem, and enough unconditional love so that they wont have to run all the way to
the opposite camp and into the enemys arms because they feel rejected by you. (III:447)

It is sometimes required to hang on to certain individuals that youd rather let go of

Dont go looking around for a way to escape in your own efforts, or try to rig one up with your own arm of the flesh. The
Promise says that I will make that way. So, dont do anything in your own efforts that you might regret later on! (III:488)

Some situations dont 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.
A wife is supposed to be someone to accompany you for life through the good times and the bad times. Theyre not for
discarding or swapping when you feel dissatisfied with them. You need to learn to see a difficult situation through until the
end, and not throw in the towel at the first sign of adversity.
Its easy to take on a job you know youre getting paid for, and which you can quit anytime if things dont work out. But the
prospect of being stuck in a relationship with no way out, and not much of an immediate reward or pay-off in sight doesnt
draw many volunteers.
If you find yourself stuck in a hopeless and dreadful situation for life, just think about others who are handicapped for life,
and be thankful for your hands and feet. (III:504)

To accept and take what Im giving you, even if it may not be exactly your style can be a test of your loyalty.
To whom are you more loyal, to your fans, the outside world, your audience, or to Me? Im really your greatest, and
most faithful fan, as you one day will find out, and Im also your best, most reliable and most faithful Friend. (III:535)

Show loyalty, and be convinced and sure of what you have! (III:561)

Continue following faithfully, even if it seems that youre one of the few who do! (III:563)

You might be in this for a longer haul than you may have originally been hoping or preparing for.
I cant let you off the hook before you get the job done.
I need you to prepare and brace yourself for the long haul, because Im going to have to prolong this class, this lesson, for
as long as it takes for you to get it.
If youre going to hang in there, I need you to do it with a whole-hearted attitude.
Hang in there means do it with all your might and whole-heartedly, giving all youve got!
Hang in there also means, this could take longer than you originally expected!
It means, youve been doing alright so far and youve been on the right track, but if youre going to make it for the rest of
the way, some things are going to have to change now, because change is the one guaranteed factor of this, My revolution,
and has been, from the beginning.
Hang in there, in other words, means, keep changing! Keep revoluting! Keep forsaking all! Keep forsaking what needs to
be let go of and keep forging ahead in a new direction, making progress and conquering new territories!
Hang in there means, get ready for another U-Turn, and hold on tight as the wheel of My revolution is going to take you for
another upside down and right-side up spin!
The fate of those who realize along the way that they didnt really want that after all, is not where you want to go! So, the
only option for you is giving it your all! (IV:6)

I need people who are in this for the long haul, and who are prepared to walk all the way, no matter how long it may turn
out to be.
A finished building does look nicer than one that was never finished because the builder didnt quite have what it took to
finish it. (IV:21)

Its going to take miracles to get you through all of this. And the more you believe and trust in Me and My capacity to do
them, the more the devil will fight to prove you wrong. But thats where perseverance comes in, the part that determines
whether your faith was just another temporary phenomenon or something real and steady that will last and stand the tests
of time.
Time may erode the ground all about you, it may erode health, strength and fitness, but if your faith is real gold, time will
never manage to erode or shake that part of you, youll always keep clinging to Me, and keep trusting in Me. (IV:77)

The crown of life is reserved for those who were faithful unto death, and did not quit somewhere along the road. (IV:86)

Some of the rewards for faithfulness can already be obtained in this life, as youve seen with a few of those whom I have
specially blessed after years of faithfulness under difficult conditions, whereas those who tend to making it easy on
themselves usually wind up with less and come away relatively empty-handed in the final analysis. (IV:99)

376
What defines love is the persistency of it, the endurance and its continuity, even through rough times (IV:116)

Look at all the countless saints who lived lives of oppression on account of their own people and yet held on! If you want
to become a real saint, youre going to have to do some holding on. (IV:158)

Faith is not swayed nor swept away by the stream of conformity of the majority, but has the guts to be one single, lone
believer and rock, and voice of truth a lone bulwark of truth in the midst of a sea of lies, knowing that My Presence
within you will surpass and outlast all their furious ragings against you, their batterings against your walls, their pounding
on your shores that moans, Give up, finally! (IV:165)

You cant give up, no matter how tough it gets. Youve just got to keep fighting, no matter what odds youre up against.
(IV:191)

Love is faithful. It takes both the ups and downs, and doesnt just remain loyal during the good times.
You learn to take the ups and downs, the bad times along with the good times.
Remember that one thing is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (IV:205)

The flesh may have its advantages, but theyre always finite, and sooner or later its bound to let you down, and the sooner
you will have learned to depend on the Spirit, the more and longer you will find yourself sustained even in situations in
which the flesh would have let you down.
I want you to endure and to be able to endure, instead of running out of steam prematurely. Thats why I need you to learn
to put your cards on the Spirit. (IV:209)

Even if youre faithless, I remain faithful. (IV:211)

You cant always wait until all the tools at your disposal are going to be perfect. Once you will have proven yourself to be
faithful with the least youve got (and believe Me, some have quite a lot less), I will then be able to bless you with more and
with better tools. (IV:227)

As the separation occurs, the division of the wheat from the chaff, and the clarity sets in as to who is really on My side,
and the morass of the half-hearts and undecided is being washed away, it sets those who truly choose to follow My path,
no matter what, apart as a clear and obvious minority but nonetheless powerful. Empowered by Me, while the others
confide in themselves, in what they are, what they think they know, and whatever is in their heads. (IV:265)

One thing is required in stewards, that a man be faithful (1Cor.4:2). Faithfulness is the one requirement, and one that so
few possess.
Many can show how good theyre at something. What will really prove how good at it they were is how faithful theyre going to
have been at it. (IV:311)

Endurance is one of the fields in which I train you, and without pain, what would there be to learn to endure? You thought
you already had it as hard and as tough as it gets to endure, but as you see, there is always another grade to pass (IV:335)

One thing is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. There is hardly a more commendable quality when it
comes to relationships, than loyalty.
Just how good and valuable what you had really was turns out in the end, when its either gone, or still there through thick
and thin, fire and rain, water and snow.
What youll want is somebody to stick with you, not someone you can show off temporarily and feel proud of and have
them boost your ego.
If you want to look for real values, look for the kind I look for in people: One thing is required in stewards, that a man be
found faithful. (IV:353)

Love contains the ingredient of faithfulness. (IV:404)

One of the biggest issues Im having with My bride and mankind per se is their loyalty, or lack of it. Sometimes when you
notice how thin folks loyalties toward you can be, it makes you realize just how solid your own loyalties are toward Me,
and that perhaps loyalty is still an area for yourself to work on
Just how loyal someone has been or not can really only be told in the end, when the path has been run, and you see whos
still standing with you. There are surprises both ways: some of those you expected to make it didnt, and others, of whom
you may not have expected it, are still around.
So, dont judge anyone prematurely for what may seem to be their poor loyalty. You can only tell at the end of the road.
Whether youre in a position to judge someone else for their lack of loyalty, or whether you should try to see what Im
trying to show you about your own level of loyalty toward Me is what youve got to decide.
Youve got to fight persistently in order to reach your desired goal, and you cannot give up too easily at the first sight of
either resistance or lack of support.
In the end what will determine your personal outcome and success in your battle is your own persistence and
determination to keep fighting, your own personal refusal to give up.

377
So keep fighting, Amen? If what is required most in stewards is that a man be found faithful, then make that your personal
quest: to be and stay faithful, and not quit, but to keep fighting, no matter what!
If youve learned something along the lines of persistence and what it means to stick to the battle and to the fight and not
give up, whos to say that thats not going to be the decisive lesson that will have made all the difference in the world?
(IV:427)

Perseverance is one of the qualities to acquire.

- Persistence. - Hanging in there. - Seeing something through despite the odds and difficulties, not giving up at the first
sight of resistance.
After all, that is something by which the value of a man is determined: how much hell stick to something he has begun
and will see it through until the end before starting something new.
It might look easier to just run off someplace new and start something new instead, but in a way, thats what commitment
is: to finish something youve begun, even when a tempting new option arises. (IV:431)

To be a faithful steward means, you faithfully and regularly, persistently take care and perform maintenance.
You dont just stick with it doing nothing. You have to nourish it, tend it, give it some care (IV:439)

Betrayal has taken place as a reminder of how important loyalty is.

Loyalty is a big issue for Me, and since I want you to adopt My views and attitudes and to learn My ways, I need to make
sure that it becomes an important issue for you, too.
As you can tell from the history of the beginning, a lot hinges on loyalty issues. After all, all the evils in this world can be
ascribed to lack of loyalty on the part of one of Gods top officers, and those who then followed his example and shifted
their loyalty from Our side to his. (IV:457)

I need you to be faithful.

The faithful people are the people who are full of faith. There are plenty of faithless people, and I cant really blame them
much. But boy, do I treasure those precious faithful few! So, please, dont desert Me, like so many others who follow their
itching ears and any old enticing path that looks more comfortable and pleasurable to walk than Mine, but be faithful to
Me!
The only way youre really going to make a difference and pose as a different example than those who lack faithfulness, is
by remaining faithful to Me yourself. (IV:495)

You simply must endure; theres no way around it. (IV:501)

Im not really asking you for any more than to endure. (IV:503)

I remain faithful regardless.

My faithfulness is unequalled. And what does faithfulness really mean, unless its ever tested? I remain faithful to you. I
can do no other. (IV:536)

Maybe Im just trying to get a little but more tolerance for suffering out of you, just a little more endurance, than you
thought you were capable of.
It might come in handy one day, to be able to put up with a little bit more
Ask Me for Help in developing skills at rising above your circumstances, overcoming and enduring them! (11:55)

Faithfulness in the little things to Me is a big thing.

Just keep hanging in there, and that is to Me what counts! (11:71)

Its all a matter of continuing to cling to Me and not allowing the enemy to make you believe him that because of your
faults you should not be worthy of My Love, Help and forgiveness anymore. (11:112)

He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and showing faithfulness in those small, mundane situations life
puts you in is what qualifies you for something bigger and better eventually. (11:120)

Faithfulness in the little things is a big thing, and rather than seeking great things for yourself, like promising job
opportunities with a high income, the better option for your character, and thus, true and more lasting happiness than the
kind that a higher income yields, would be to make an effort to pitch in and do whatever you can right where you are.
(11:136)

What I want and require most of all is faithfulness somebody to stick to the job, and, preferably, not doing it half-
heartedly, but giving it all theyve got and doing it with all their heart. (2012:8)

Its not your feelings that indicate your faith as much as your faithfulness and persistence in doing the right thing no
matter how you feel. (2012:22)

As you keep going, keep hanging in there, you keep getting stronger. (2012:129)

378
Stay on board with Me, even if its a rough and stormy sea. At least I can guarantee you that if you stick with Me youll be
safe and will come out of all of it alive. (2012:142)

Youve got to keep going, but its always nicer to do it with an incentive, with a desire, and not as if you were forced by
anyone. (2012:179)

The goal is to keep sparkling and shining until the end, but that stamina comes only from truly holding on to Me and
relying on Me. (2012:180)

Just keep your eyes on the goal, and try to keep sticking to it and doing it as faithfully as you can. (2013:116)

In many aspects, life is a school of learning perseverance, steadfastness, just hanging in there even though youre
tempted to quit.
In a race there are winners, losers, and quitters. Even if you lose, its not as bad as having quit before you reached the
finishing line. (2013:125)

As long as you hold on to Me, youll have and find ways to make it! (2014:44)

Be a faithful follower for a change; not just an occasional one! (2014:61)

With all that the Enemy keeps coming up with these days to stop folks trusting in Me, its not that easy to stay on My
path and yet staying faithful to Me and My path will turn out to be the best decision and move you can make! (2014:82)

It could be much better for you than things have been, and they will be, if you just cling to Me, and not let other, worldly
things be more important for you. (2014:134)

Hang on to Me and cling to Me and My Power! (2014:160)

You may not know right now how on Earth youre going to be able to continue and keep it up, but just trust Me that Im
going to show you! Just stay faithful to Me! (2014:166)

Keep on hanging on! And dont give up!

Keep hanging and holding on to Us!
Cant make it on your own, youre discovering? Well, good for you, because it will cause you to cling to and depend on Us!
(2014:167)

Its the only way to make it: to hang on to Me. And the sooner you start learning that, the better, youll see.
Life can be pretty rough and tough at times, which is why its necessary to hang on to Me and learn to resist the troubles.
There are reasons why it pays off to stay and stick close to Me and not drift too far away without paying attention to
dangers that could snap up on you. (2014:174)

It takes a bit of strong faith to make it, to hang on holding on to Me. But I promise you wont be disappointed, if you
manage it. (2014:181)

Youre supposed to cling to Me by faith, and Im the One youre supposed to trust in, and not yourself, your own abilities,
or what the worlds System is going to do for you. (2014:186)

Even if its quite a tough battle at times, keep hangin in there! That would be My suggestion. (2014:188)

Learn and get used to clinging to Me, instead of trusting in physical things and companions A major step toward the
spiritual side of things instead of the physical or carnal, and thus, a step closer to Me and the more lasting part of life in
the long run (2014:190)

Its a rough time on Earth right now, and going to get even tougher, but hang on! Youll make it, and itll be worth it, just
as the reward will be that youll get for clinging to Us instead of whatever the god of this world momentarily has to offer.
(2014:200)

Youre experiencing how permanent the enemys efforts can be to drag you down.
Hang on to Me and dont let him drag you down!
Its important for you to get into that effort to stay tuned in to Me all the time! Dont give him a chance to drag or knock you
down.
Stay tuned in to Me and thus resist his efforts to drag you down. (2015:33)

Hold on to Me and cling to Me, and stay in touch with Me in order to receive My help!
Youll make it if you hang on and hold on to Me and Heavens help, and thats what the current time and episode is all
about and meant to teach you.
Hang on to Me! (2015:36)
379
Cling to Me, your Source of Life, and you wont regret it! (2015:45)

As long as you manage to hold on and cling to Me, and keep your spiritual perception in My direction, youre closer
attuned to the most important values in your life, and much more on the right and proper gear than when you keep being
sidetracked by all those worldly matters.
Hold on and hang on to Me as much as you can, and you wont regret it!
Its a rough life, down there, judging by whos in charge of things there, and if you want to cling to Me, youve got to make
that effort to do so, and not let yourself get sidetracked by all the enemy uses to drag your attention away from Me and the
truly important factors for a believer!
When life gets rough, its a good occasion to get into serious connection with Me to either ask for help or some revelation
as to whats going on. It might also mean that you should get into some desperate prayer to beg Me for My help and
salvation out of a serious mess situation. So, one way or the other, it means you should cling to Me, come closer to Me and
seek Me more than before take Me more seriously. (2015:50)

Make an effort to cling to Me!

Cling to Me, and remember what I told you: you need Me more.
The closer you cling to Me, the greater your chance to wind up making it and being victorious.
Youve got to make a nearly constant effort to cling to Me and lean on Me! (2015:62)

Just hang on to Me if you perceive life as being a rough thing right now! Hang on to Me and Ill help you make it through
anything! (2015:75)

Cling to Me now! In the end, youll say, Wow! (2015:79)

Life should teach you to look up and cling to My help and aid to get you out of its messes, or at least to help you make it
through them, overcome the hindering and down-trotting forces, and make you learn to cling to and depend on Me more!
A rough part of life should teach you to cling more to Me.
Cling to the right Forces, turn towards the Light and get filled with Our Spirit, in order to help you overcome all that
negative input from the enemy taking over the world. (2015:83)

Cling to Me, and even though its quite hard for you right now, hold on to Me and know and keep in mind that I can help
you to manage and overcome all difficulties.
Cling to Me and keep looking Up! Youll be so much better off than allowing situations to drag you down!
In the end youll realize that if you cling to Me and My strength and absorb it and do what you can in order to receive it
from Me, youre not all that weak anymore. (2015:84)

Getting you to cling more tightly to Me and the strength from Above is the only way to make it through the dark times to
come. (2015:86)

It might not all be that easy for you, and well, thats a sign that you should start clinging to Me, get used to asking Me for
help regularly and to cheer you up, so that you can overcome any trials and attacks of the enemy you might have to deal
with. (2015:107)

If you cant make it on your own, just cling to Me and all your help from Above!
Cling to Me and My help your help from Above, the only way youll ever make it through those hard and dark days to
come!
Cling to Me and your help from Above to help you to make it and rise above! (2015:117)

If you want to make it through the tough times up ahead, you need to get into the habit of clinging to Me.
You yourself cant make the best of things, but in order to do that, youd better stick to Me! (2015:118)

Keep clinging to Me; and when youre having a hard time to make it through the day, youll remember why its necessary to
depend on Me and the help from Above! (2015:121)

Maybe there are still some things to learn and improve in for you, but the main good thing about you is, that you havent
yet quit. So, keep hanging in there and give Us another chance to prove that We know what Were doing or permitting!
Job and Jonah, along with others whove had to go through rough times, didnt take it as an excuse to quit. Now, can you
do it, too? (2015:135)

Have the strength to keep believing and hang on faithfully! (2015:140)

Keep on hanging on to Me and confiding in Me, even if it gets a bit tough, and even when it gets a bit tougher! (2015:141)

Its not ones physical abilities through which theyll manage to stay faithful to Me. (2015:177)

Cling to and stick to Me, and youll make it!

380
Cling to Me, and keep fighting faithfully! (2015:182)

Cling to Me! There wont be ways to figure out by yourself how to make it through the tough times to come, anyway, so,
just stick to Me and trust Me that Ill help you make it somehow! (2015:183)

Just hold on to Me and keep learning how to see and feel and do it! (2015:184)

Stick to it, that position down there, as victoriously and with as positive an attitude as you can with My Help! (2015:203)

Cling to Me and stay close to Me, as much as you can permanently! (2015:241)

When you cling to Me, I promise you, you wont regret it!
Cling to Me and your help from Above! (2015:244)

Make an effort to cling to Me!

There comes a time when My followers and believers, brothers and sisters through having received Me, need to get into
the groove of clinging to Me and the heavenly help available.
So, make an effort to stick to Me! Cling to Me, and become aware of the fact that you wont stand a chance to make it
through the times to come without Me and your help from Above! (2016:3)

Being willing to be a follower seems to carry more of the qualities of faithfulness and sticking with Me, which, all in all,
strikes Me as something more positive, humbler, and reliable. (2016:4)

Stick to Me and stay tuned in to Me, and dont allow the enemys tricks to divert and distract you from what should be the
most important Goal of your heart and mind!
Stick to Me, cling to Me and let your communication with Me grow and flourish, and youll see that the strength that will be
available will be far above what your own was able to accomplish! (2016:20)

Stick! was one of the messages and it still belongs to parts of My messages to My followers in these days, because it
takes time to stick to a place where you can bring forth fruit, or at least be a greater witness.
So, stick it out for a while, and try to sow and reap what you can, even if all youll wind up reaping will be helpful lessons to
learn!
Love is the mightiest force there can be! So, stick to, and cling to it act and move through It! (2016:32)

By clinging to Me, youll become part of My Light in the worlds coming time of darkness! (2016:37)

The way youll make it is by holding on to Me. (2016:98)

You can make it, if you cling to Us. (2016:99)

Success isnt achieved by one-time efforts, but more by sticking to it and not giving up prematurely.
Ultimately your faith will be rewarded by victory for hanging in there. (2016:144)

My faithfulness to you is what shall bring about your faithfulness to Me. (17:8)

Cling to and stick to Me, and keep geared to My heavenly wavelength! Thats the secret of making it through whats
coming. (17:55)

Youre discovering changes of personality as one of the main factors why peoples relationship with Me or dedication of
their lives to Me often doesnt stay the same throughout Just as the changes in personalities of married couples arent
helpful factors to keep them together.
All in all, what those changes make of Me is the only faithful Factor you can rely on that wont shock or surprise you with
changes, even if you and everything and everyone else around you goes through some.
Just let it help you to keep it in mind that Im the one faithful and remaining factor in your life, and if theres one thing Ill
appreciate the most about you, itll be if you manage to remain faithful unto Me, as its become one of the rarest treasures
with changing human personalities.
So, isnt it a reason to cling and stick to Me? - The One Factor that doesnt and wont change?
Of course, your own attitude and personality is bound to, so sticking to Me and staying faithful to Me is a challenge. But
probably the one that will turn out to be the worthiest of all to make it through. (17:74)

Faithfulness includes being a faithful fighter. - And not giving up. So, keep resisting the enemy, Amen? And whats the
Promise? - He will flee from you.
Becoming a faithful fighter - instead of a quitter - is what the life of faith is all about. So, just keep fighting! - Amen? (17:114)

Sometimes the battles make you want to give up. - Give in. But then thats what faith-full-ness is all about:
To stay faithful in spite of anything thats making you feel like wanting to give up

381
Thats why the enemys making the battles all the harder and the temptations stronger and bigger to try to get you to give
up: If theres anything he hates, its faithful servants of Mine (17:126)

My influence and Strength have to become greater in your life than the enemys! And to accomplish that, youve just got to
keep clinging to Me. (17:127)

If you wanna make it, stick to the One Wholl help you make it! (17:131)

Dont know how youll make it? How about clinging to Me? (17:134)

Keep resisting and fighting!

Its part of the mode of faithfulness! - Keep fighting! (17:137)

382
 What Jesus Had 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

What counts Here is your spirit, and what seems weak in the flesh is might in the spirit. (I:5)

Learn to operate more in the Spirit, and lean less on the arm of the flesh. (I:8)

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 and 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:22)

I use those times youre frustrated by your own inability to get anything accomplished in your own strength. Thats what
reminds you of your need for Me. (I:33)

Always make sure that what youve got to say comes from Me and isnt just your own opinion or assumption. (I:37)

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!
Im teaching you to think in a completely different and new way than the way you have been raised in before. Rational
thinking wont help you survive in the days to come, only crazy faith in Me and following My leads. (I:55)

Thy Kingdom come, on Earth, as it is in Heaven means the marriage of the physical and the Spiritual Realm. (I:60)

Dont listen to your head, listen to your heart! Your head says, youve got to do this or that or the other in order to fulfill
your duty, so that men will speak and think well of you. Your heart says, just listen to the Lord! Forget all that and just love
the Lord, and He will work out the rest. Your head says, oh, but theres bills to pay, shopping to be done and this and that
and the other... The heart says: Theres listening to be done, there are Words to be heard from the Maker of the universe,
Words from the mountain! (I:62)

Those who cling to the old ways of the flesh are going to reap the destruction of the flesh. (I:70)

A lot of My children are still operating too much in the flesh, leaning too hard on the arm of the flesh! (I:75)

Folks who think they know better than God can sometimes be the very voice of the Devil himself.
They dont see the greater truth, the greater mystery beyond the obvious. They cling to the way of the flesh.
The flesh sees only the temporal, the immediate. Faith looks beyond, at the Promise, laid there before the foundations of
the world, and reaches out for it, stands on it, chooses it as a firmer ground than what is generally perceived as reality.
(I:82)

Faith and belief in Me should consist not just of circumstances in the physical realm, but of My input from the spiritual!
(I:83)

Your natural mind is the greatest obstacle between you and Me.
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 and conditioned by the input of the Enemy, for he has much greater
platforms and means of implanting his thoughts into human minds than ever before, through the media and education.
Theres a lot more I have to get past first.
Once you have learned to put the fleshly way of thinking aside, and let My Spirit take over, then Im 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 dont 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. (I:84)

(Spirit Helper:) Who, in their carnal minds, would have ever begun to assume that in all the great and glorious efforts and
works of man, which will all come to naught in the end the most lasting and effective deed and effort should be the one
which commits the task into the hands of the Lord, in obedience to His command, Stand back and see Me fight!?
It is mans temptation to assume that he needs to finish what God has started. In reality, God is only in the process of
choosing those who choose to let Him work through them, to help Him establish His true Kingdom.
How finite are the works of man. In all their doings, in all their toil and striving, they accomplish not a fraction of what a
believer can achieve on his knees, committing the matter which needs to be done to the Maker.
The works of the flesh often accomplish only the opposite of what the Lord wants in your life, for by strengthening and
increasing your carnal sense of accomplishment, your trust, confidence and reliance on the Spirit is weakened.
383
When I am weak, then I am strong, for His strength is made perfect in weakness. He must increase, but you must
decrease. His power in you needs to grow, and your own puny little strength must come to an end.
Command the Lord what He should do for you, instead of trying to get there by your own strength and efforts, and youll
see how much further you will go on the wings of the spirit than your own two feet could ever carry you. Why walk when
you can fly? (I:88)

Why do you subject yourselves into the hands of the powers that rule the physical and 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, and forsake those fleeting pleasures today, having food and raiment, let us therewith be content,
learning to be content in whatsoever state, and find out about the thrills of the real winners and champions of the
universe.
Why lean on the arm of the flesh? Wise are those who are weak in their own sight and run to Me for strength and
protection. Foolish are they who think theyre 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 and 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, and great will be the calamity and the cries of woe thereof.
Many are called, but few choose to learn out of the lessons and experiences I bring into their lives. Many simply prefer to
heed the lies of the majority. They think with a carnal mind and see with the eyes of the flesh: the sheer size of the majority,
the size and 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 dont want to be humiliated.
Beware, therefore, and fall not into the same trap! Its 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. (I:96)

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 and flow through. In doing so, you wont have to rely on the flesh anymore,
for I will do it all. (I:100)

Where you cant anymore, there I can. Where you end and come to the end of your capacities, there I begin and have a
chance to start working finally! through you.
Not by might nor by power nor by mans 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 doesnt
cut the cake when you intend to do My work and the works of My Spirit. Its got to be My Spirit in you! (I:101)

Everything is dead without the Spirit. All the perfection one can try to attain in the flesh, is dead and nothing, without the
true life of My Spirit.
Dont 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 and accumulate information. (I:117)

Your old man, your fleshly old creature, is an abomination to Me. And in order to completely and fully become that new
creature, you have to obey My Word and be transformed by the renewing of your minds, presenting your bodies a living
sacrifice, which is your reasonable service! (I:140)

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 wont even know about themselves! I can show you things of the
Spirit that will encourage you and 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 and 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. (I:142)

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 and
onto the pathways of your choice.
What looks like the difficult path to you may be in reality the easiest path, for when you cant do it, Ill do it for you. Quit
struggling in the flesh and let Me take over!
The road of utter trust is like death to the flesh... When it comes down to it, youre 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 and influence you to settle for the lesser
option than My best.... (I:157)

He that soweth to the flesh will reap the corruption of the flesh. The flesh corrupts. It corrupts the spirit and 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, and a humbler path.
Long live the Spirit! And it does. It lives forever.
In becoming partakers of the spiritual, the eternal, youre taking on a very special role in this world, for you have inherited
that eternal, immortal ingredient, which marks you as different and makes you stick out from them.
384
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 and a whole lot more of Me? (I:159)

I dont need anyone who is strong in themselves, I need somebody weak, who in their own flesh cant do it, somebody
utterly dependent on Me.
Youre not going to make it walking in the flesh, only if you rely utterly on My Spirit. (I:164)

Connect the spiritual with efficiency in the physical! Accomplishing labors of love through the Power of the Spirit is the
ultimate fruit of applying all that youve learned. The proof of the pudding is always a physical manifestation, your works.
(I:178)

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. (I:194)

Thats your struggle: flesh or spirit. Every day, every hour and every minute you have to make the choice and 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.
You cant just go on in flesh mode. You will have to switch to Spirit mode if you want to get anywhere and accomplish
anything. (I:201)

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 and 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 dont anoint your works to be accepted by the world, then it is My will for you to
utterly dedicate all youve 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.
Its the flesh that weakens you, disables you to do the works of My Spirit. The flesh is weakness, the Spirit is strength.
Its the eternal struggle, and its becoming more and more intense, as the world of the flesh fights its last furious battle and
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, youre a loser. In the Spirit, youre 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 and flaws by the standards and measures of man? (I:202)

Burning with My Spirit is not anything you can do in the flesh. (I:203)

A missionary is a picture of utter trust in Me vs. the flesh. (I:207)

The hare never made it, but the tortoise did, and while the men of force go down in flames and 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. Its not the strong and mighty who will conquer the Earth in
the end, but the meek shall inherit the Earth. (I:257)

The flesh is almost like the false identity the Enemy wants to give you; the weak, sinful and despicable you. But you can
look way past that at your higher anointing and youll know what Ill make you capable of. Youll be unstoppable and you
can do all things through Me if you just focus on your true identity: My creation! Remember who you are! Its the
slumbering higher anointing which dwells within each of you, which the key and the call of David and the chord of his
harp, bring to life. That which you can be and 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, and 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 and the System are trying to give you and that
you render your services completely to Me. Be a fully functioning agent for My cause and dont let them brainwash you any
longer into believing and accepting the loser role he would like to put you in.
Be that which I have called and chosen you to be. Reject and 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 and 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 and power
and none shall be able to withstand thee, if thou canst believe. (I:266)

385
All too easily you slip right back into the confidence of the flesh, and thats when you start making mistakes. It wont work
without Me. (I:285)

The importance of the spiritual far outweighs the importance of the physical. (I:293)

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 and fly higher than youve ever been before...
Letting go of the flesh and the enticements of the world in order to put Me and My will first in your lives is a crucifixion of
the flesh, and the Enemy fights it, but I highly honor each sacrifice you make for Me!
Isn't it a blessing to be small and 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? (I:302)

Those with great leadership qualities, those full of action, courage and 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 and 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 and uphold them, sooner or later run out of strength, and they
just peter out. (I:314)

I put before you the ways of life and of death, to choose this day, and 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 and oblivion, and that's what
you're going to be! Or you lift up your eyes, your face to Me, the Giver of eternal life, and let Me invigorate you, quicken
and strengthen you and let Me fill you until overflowing with sparkling life and energy! "As thy days, so shall be the thy
strength!"
I want you to be young and 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 and way, confounding the wise and mighty!
I want to show you who the true heroes and conquerors are, those who rise above the rules and confines of the physical
world by My omnipotent Power! (I:315)

Look not at the flesh! The flesh has nothing for you! Look at the Spirit and there find riches and untold treasures to give
and to pass on to those who are searching, thirsting and starving for My love, My Words, My answers, My Spirit and
Wisdom...
The riches Ive 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, and you feel more secure. But its time to reach out for the new, to
stretch out your hands of faith and venture into the unknown! (I:317)

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 and 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. Thats why youth is the
Enemys perfect harvest field. Especially when they are strong, beautiful and successful in the flesh. Only those to whom it
is given can resist the temptations to fall for the lures and the deceit of the flesh: the temptation to think of itself as all-
powerful and all-knowing, and to humbly admit that you know and can do nothing! So, fret not when you are weak, but
know that thats when you are strong in My eyes and thats when I can use you. (I:319)

The carnal mind is at enmity with God. Anyone who falls prey to carnal reasoning becomes a potential enemy to My
cause.
What Im calling for is that you all lay aside your carnal reasoning and seek Me in everything. (I:321)

Youve got to learn to be driven and pushed forward by the wind of My Spirit... Your efforts have to be made in the spirit.
Im teaching you to operate in the spirit.
If the spiritual is ok, everything else will fall into place as well. (I:322)

Nervousness comes from relying on the flesh... Trust and confidence come from relying on Me. (I:343)

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, and those who are prepared for
that final journey are always better off than those who are not. (I:344)

Prayer and fasting clearly demonstrates that you believe that the battle and the cause are a spiritual one.
Youre not intending to fight it in the flesh, but being willing to weaken the flesh in order to grow stronger in spirit.
You can only counter spirit with spirit. Spirits laugh at any attempts of the flesh to combat them.
Only spirit can combat spirit.
386
Only those who are willing to admit to, and openly declare the absolute incapability of their flesh to resolve the matter,
have a chance. Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit. (I:345)

The flesh is the stuff pride feeds on. My Spirit is humble and seeks the humble and lowly in heart, and isnt very attractive
to pride it doesnt feed it. (I:348)

Come on, lets crucify your flesh and bring to naught all your old habits, attitudes and ways that would raise themselves
against My reign over them, lets kill them, mortify your worries and get everything out of the way thats not utterly yielded
to Me, and let it result in a glorious resurrection of a new creature in Christ Jesus that really lets Me live and move and
think and talk and make decisions in you, and that can wholeheartedly say, It is not I that live, but Christ which liveth in
me (Gal.2:20). (I:351)

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). Youve got to will a little harder
and put your will so much on My side that the unwillingness of the flesh will be overcome.
Your spirit may be willing, but your flesh, your old man, may act quite unwillingly. But since what actually counts is what
you do, not merely your intentions, how willing you really are, is evidently seen in the physical manifestation. (I:352)

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, and thus the flesh fights it. (I:354)

The lust of the flesh is the ambitions of the flesh to strive against and nullify the spiritual.
The natural reaction of the flesh to the spirit is to counter and 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 and
raise a conversation to a spiritual or more edifying level. Thats why you must be aware of the struggle, so that you make a
conscious effort not to discourage each other. Everyone has their weak and fleshly moments. But Im trying to teach you
to be aware of those unguarded moments and to make an effort not to blurt out any silly thought that comes to your mind
and 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 its a hundred percent appropriate. Those feelings can be
deceiving at times.
Its those idle words youre going to have to give an account for. Those that dont have any meaning, no value, no edifying
purpose, nothing uplifting to them, no spirit, only flesh.
The enemys subtle message always promotes the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life.
Whatever doesnt promote Me and My truth, must be promoting something else... the World, the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eyes and the pride of life... (I:358)

Listen to your heart! Its so much greater to live by the heart and following what the heart tells you to do than do just
hearken to the narrow confines of the mind. The mind sees the boundaries and impossibilities and why it cant be done
and shouldnt even be tried. The heart just feels the urge to do it anyway and trust Me for the outcome. (I:365)

I allow you to feel clumsy, so that you feel weak and incapable in your flesh and lean on Me instead. (I:374)

Continue to make an effort to think with My mind, the far-out, supernatural way as opposed to the carnal and reasonable...
Those who are rebellious against Me and My nature, My spiritual ways, will fight and resist you!
They look down upon that which is weak and 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!
Were 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... (I:375)

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the spirit is spirit. You cant legislate righteousness, and likewise you
cant 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 dont
have any spiritual hunger at all, theyre like Leave the dead ones lay! The devils got them already! (I:385)

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 and 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! (I:386)

When focusing on the Power of the Spirit, the carnal things you are worried about seem rather small by comparison, don't
they? What's flesh, is flesh, and 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 and move in the living Realm of the
Spirit! My Spirit will supply all that you will need. (I:400)

387
Determine whether you will set your affections on things above or things that are seen: the eternal or the temporal; the real
thing or the cheap imitation and easy way out, Me or the devil's substitute. (I:410)

It takes a lot of Spirit to transform a fleshly, carnal man into one who is spiritual and is concerned with the things from
Above, not the things of Earth.
Once you start getting My spiritual angle of looking at things, even the things of Earth that surround you, which otherwise
can be a nuisance and a hindrance, all of a sudden start making sense. (I:412)

Sometimes I've got to deactivate all that useful-in-the-flesh gear and feeling first, before I can make you really useful,
useful in the sense of accomplishing something for Me, something that lasts, something that bears fruit in the spirit! (I:424)

The Spirit is the true Reality. The flesh is under the curse and thus under the heavy influence of the devil, the father of lies,
so, you can't really rely on the flesh. If you want truth, seek the Spirit! If you want values that last, seek the Spirit! If you
want excitement and true satisfaction that far exceeds any thrill of the flesh, seek the Spirit! If you would only value the
Spirit as you should, you would find much greater satisfaction there than in anything the World, the flesh or the enemy
have to offer. (I:427)

Only the Spirit is eternal, the flesh is destined to decay. (I:428)

Prepare for the greatest lesson in all of history, the final outcome of the battle royal between flesh and spirit: all eyes will
see in the end who will have been stronger, those seemingly invincible hunks of the flesh or those apparent weaklings!
(I:439)

There is greater strength in the spirit than in the flesh. After all, the spirit is eternal, not the flesh. (I:445)

It was expedient for My disciples that I left them, in order to send them the Comforter.
The Holy Spirit was able to work through My disciples that which they never would have accomplished through My fleshly
presence. The death of the flesh - My flesh - brought the Life of the Spirit. (I:446)

Often people will go and try things in their own flesh, thinking, "I'm going to try to get for myself those things which God
doesn't grant me..." Only to find out that that wasn't where it was at, either, and sinking ever lower into despair.
Faith in My Love for you is a driving force that will get you further than any self-esteem or self-confidence in the flesh.
The way of the flesh always ends somewhere. But with Me, there is no end!
We'll always get further, much further, than the flesh could ever take you. So, have patience, and faith in My Love, and put
the time of your life I have given you to spend on the Spirit, if you want to be smart and reap lasting fruit! (I:455)

I'm gonna make you glow with a radiant glow that's going to far surpass any beauty in the physical. (I:461)

You just need to avail yourself more of My Power. Use it! Receive it! Take it, it's yours! You just need the faith to stretch out
your hand to receive it and the humility to realize that you can't make it without it, that you need it, and thus you will ask
for it, claim it, and depend on it, instead of your flesh! The flesh sits there, self-satisfied, and 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 hardly even acknowledges the extent to which you've been dependent on Me all these years. It would like to
take the glory for itself. 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 and comfortable rut..."
But I say: don't listen to the voice of the flesh! Don't give in to the comforts of the flesh! Don't yield to the lusts of the flesh!
Don't go the way of the flesh, the easy way, the low road, don't take the compromise!
If you want Me to use you, you're going to have to resist the temptations of the flesh to settle for the easy and comfortable
way! (I:463)

Beware of the flesh and the pressure it would like to put you under! The rush and the fretting and 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! It's no use! Don't even try to accomplish anything in the arm of the flesh! Don't even try
anything without Me, My blessings and My Spirit!
"He that soweth to the flesh will also reap the corruption of the flesh, but he that soweth to the spirit shall reap life
eternal!" (Gal.6:8) The things you do when you invest your time into the things of the spirit will result in eternal fruit, more
souls, and a harvest that will never rot away, while the things you do when you invest your time in activities where you
simply indulge in the flesh are temporal and won't last, but they will pass and wither away, like everything else you see in
the temporal realm.
Sow to the spirit! Let us accomplish things together that will last! Remember what you're here for and what your job is!
Your task is a spiritual task! Flesh is flesh, and it will wither away, but I have ordained you for things that will last, so, don't
let the flesh distract you from the spiritual things you're destined to do! (I:470)

You must make greater efforts to tap into the riches of the Spirit! Even making love is not just merely a matter of the flesh,
but much more a matter of the spirit than you think. Flesh can satisfy flesh, but only spirit can satisfy your spirit, and that
aching, yearning, burning void and vacuum deep in your souls!
Discover the art of loving in the spirit! You must learn to see the flesh much less, and the spirit much more, in each other
388
and in everything!
Pray to find the ecstasies in store for you in the spirit! (I:471)

Consider it a compliment and a token of My Love for you when things are going rough in the physical, because that means
I'm drawing you closer to Me and into My spiritual Realm! (I:476)

The most important lesson to learn, and hurdle to overcome is the issue of flesh vs. spirit in order for My Spirit to rule you,
in order for you to seek that which I want, and not the things which you want.
The flesh doesn't let go so easily of the things it wants, and even Paul said that the wanting of My good will he found in
himself, but the execution thereof, the performance, the doing of it, he found not. It's simply not there. It's not within your
flesh, not within your constitution, to perform that which is My will. That's why it's got to be My Spirit doing those things
through you.
You can't do the works of the Spirit in the flesh, and to get ahold of My Spirit just takes time fellowshipping with Me, asking
Me, receiving from Me, drinking in from Me. Without Me and My Spirit, you can't even see clearly where to go, much less
take steps in the right direction. But isn't it better like this, desperately looking to Me for each step you're going to take,
depending on Me and knowing that without Me you can accomplish nothing, than thinking you have need of nothing and
just going full steam ahead in the power and strength of your own flesh?
Isn't it better to wait for Me and for My strength?
Learn to let Me work through you, and I will use you! But going on in the energy of your own flesh will only do more harm
and damage than good in the long run.
You have the choice to go ahead in the flesh and make a mess of things, or to wait for Me, even if you feel like you're not
accomplishing anything. That shows that you've got faith that I'm the One Who needs to do it, anyway. (I:487)

I and the Father Himself, We live to love and to be loved. Even though you may feel unworthy of such honor, it is not the
flesh that counts, it's the spirit that makes all this possible.
Just like the penis enters into the dark and hidden places of the woman's intimate parts, so I love and crave to enter into
the dark and hidden things of this dark and mysterious realm of the flesh, the physical, and I crave for intimate contact
with My believers in the physical realm, those who can only perceive Me by faith.
The wind bloweth where it listeth and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh or whither it
goeth, so is everyone that is born of the Spirit (Jn.3:8). You cannot tell the one who is born of the Spirit where he's
supposed to go, nor can normal, mortal men tell where these are coming from. Nobody can tell them what they're
supposed to be, or what they can't be, because, "in the spirit, in the spirit, you can be so free, you can be whoever you
want to be" and whatever I want you to be! (I:509)

What's the use in getting started in your own strength and getting going in the flesh, if you want to accomplish acts of the
spirit and bear everlasting fruit? If you want to accomplish works that count in the Spirit, you're going to have to get ahold
of Me and realize just how real and how important I am. (I:515)

Having faith for each other, faith hat looks not so much at what you or they are, but what by the grace of God someday
you're all going to be, that's seeing the spiritual man or woman in each other, as opposed to seeing only the flesh, and
that's where having a spiritual relationship starts. (I:516)

It is those who trust in and look at the flesh who are going to have to become extinguished, and only those who truly trust
and rely on My Spirit will make it in the end.
The flesh can be such a distraction from that which really matters.
You will have to make the choice whether you're going to see each other in the flesh or in the spirit. It is the spirit that
quickeneth - brings life - the flesh profiteth nothing. So, work on seeing each other in the spirit. (I:517)

It's more humbling and requires more patience to operate as a team, but it safeguards you from a selfish and independent
road of pride and 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. (I:521)

The making of a spiritual man... To teach somebody to see, not with the eyes of the flesh, which grow dim and will perish,
but with the eternal eyes of the spirit, to look past the hatred, past the rejection, past all the negative reactions the enemy
stirs up in them towards you, and yet being able to love them, as I have loved them and endured such contradictions of
sinners against Me.
It's time to cast yourself wholly onto Me and stop relying on the arm of the flesh. (I:530)

Which do you prefer? - Flesh or Spirit? (I:531)

"The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak..." (Mt.26:41) I know how fragile you are, and how incapable. But I do give
you clues and help you how to overcome the weakness of the flesh and try to show you how to rise above all those things
that hold you down. (I:536)

I weaken the arm of the flesh, in order to strengthen the spirit. (I:538)

389
When the flesh is weakened, the gifts of the Spirit are being strengthened. (I:540)

At that point where you recognize the uselessness of the flesh, the futility of the flesh, that "the flesh profited nothing,"
that's where you finally get desperate enough to make sure you're getting ahold of My Strength, and that that's the only
chance you ever had and will ever have, Me in you, your only hope. (I:545)

Feeding the flesh wars against the spirit, and makes you weaker in spirit, weaker to do the things I would like you to do.
The flesh upholds itself and what it wants, while those things I would want from you, come from the Spirit, the spirit of
letting go of the flesh, of yielding it, surrendering it, laying it down.
When you wake up in the morning, because you're still living in the flesh, and the enemy's vibes make you act contrary to
My Spirit, which is why it says, the natural or carnal man is at enmity with God. (I:576)

When you live in the spirit, you live better, you live deeper... more intensely. When you live in the spirit, you really live. You
find out what really matters. Living only in the flesh, the really relevant matters of life just pass you by, and you live your
life and pass on into the next world and stand there like a stranger, not prepared at all.
Feed your spirit, too. (I:577)

That's the difference - or one of the differences - between those who are spiritual-minded and the carnal-minded: the
carnal minded think in earthly, temporal terms, the spiritual in terms of Eternity. They don't just settle for things that can be
acquired, achieved or accomplished in this world, but they put their money, their time, their energy on something beyond
that, something more lasting, which is what gives them the crazy faith to reach out to other souls and win them also to the
Eternal Realm. (I:578)

My Family is a Family of the Spirit, and it's open to anyone who will, but in order to join it, you'll have to leave the flesh and
the allures of the World at the door. (I:581)

Some had expected the Messiah to be a great deliverer in the flesh, who would cast off the Roman yoke from their neck.
But I was a Deliverer in spirit, Who would free them from a much greater than the Roman yoke, namely the yoke of their
own sins. (I:588)

In order for Me to truly become the Source of all power and energy in your life, your Driving Force, as opposed to your own
drive in the flesh, it just takes this weakening of the flesh. (I:604)

I can let the world get away with operating in the flesh, because they live in the flesh and they love in the flesh. But I have
called you to live in the spirit, to be one of those who will prove in the ultimate showdown of all ages in this Battle of flesh
vs. spirit, that the spirit ultimately is stronger. The flesh may look as if it has got the upper hand for the longest time, but in
the end, the hare never made it, but the tortoise did. The flesh may think of itself as invincible and all-powerful, but it isn't.
(I:606)

It's time to truly live by faith, which means truly living the life of the just.
You will get so much further that way than by just relying on your arm of the flesh. (I:611)

Strengthen the things that remain, instead of the arm of the flesh!
The less your arm of the flesh is involved, the more I'll be able to do for you!
I can work better miracles without any support from the flesh! (II:2)

Stay focused on the spiritual, instead of getting side-tracked by the carnal! (II:13)

I don't want you to rely on the arm of the flesh, whatever gives you strength that is not Mine. (II:14)

When someone operates in the flesh, there's nothing uplifting about it, no heart, no soul, no spirit, no real life in it.
Without the Spirit, it's dead, without love, it avails nothing... (II:16)

The natural and carnal man is at enmity with God, and so in the flesh it's impossible to live godly. You'll only have the
grace to endure and then even enjoy the life-style I have chosen for My disciples of the End if you live in the Spirit. You've
got to walk in the Spirit, be led of the Spirit. For the carnal man it's impossible to attain. You have to let Me make you a new
man, a new creature, the spiritual man.
Unfortunately, you're only free enough from the distractions of the flesh and this world to even be interested enough in the
Spirit to really delve in when you are going through trials and tribulations. (II:68)

The carnal mind tells folks that they lose by giving, that the more they give, the greater the risk of losing it all, but I say the
opposite: the more you withhold, the more you risk losing your love!
The flesh tells you the opposite of what My Spirit tells you, and the acid test and the crunch of faith is, who are you going
to believe more, Me or your own flesh? It's a difficult test; for you're much more familiar with your own flesh than with My
voice, so, in the natural, you tend to believe your own inclinations and instincts more; the protective instincts of
preservation, of battling to keep what you have, rather than to give.
I'm the Opposite of all that the flesh tells you. When the flesh tells you to keep, I say, give! (II:73)
390
Zooming in on carnal things, you neglect your spiritual view and insight, your vision. And thus it easily happens that you
see things not quite as they are.
The carnal mind is quick to put both Me, and the way it thinks I and others should operate, into a box, and that's not a very
smart thing to do in My business.
You can be misled by the carnal mind. You have to make sure that you're on My channel and fight to keep your channel
clean and clear of carnal input. (II:90)

The enemy is trying to do through the spirits of seduction to subvert and 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. But
while the physical blessing is a reward I give, to be enjoyed by those who keep My commandments, if you only indulge in
the physical manifestation of My Love and neglect the spiritual, the life-giving sap, you're going to die spiritually... (II:93)

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, and trust that that's truly the best thing you can do.
(II:114)

The younger a person is, the more the flesh "rules" them, and they see things with their carnal minds, not like I do. They
think that physical harm is the worst that can befall them or their child, when in My eyes, the spiritual dangers, which draw
them away from Me, are something to be much more concerned and alarmed about than those dangers of physical harm,
which I often use to draw a person closer to Me. (II:127)

I'm teaching you the difference between mere physical, fleshly beauty and real, lasting, eternal beauty of the spirit.
Which is the beauty you want and seek in your life: the eternal and true beauty of the spirit, or the mere carnal beauty that
fades like the grass of the field?
When you behold with the eyes of the spirit, you'll see things beneath the surface that reveal the true beauty of the spirit,
even in someone that doesn't appeal to your physical sense of beauty at all. (II:137)

The whole lesson of life is that spirit is superior to flesh, even though it may not look like it initially. (II:138)

It's taking spiritual action concerning a matter that counts. There isn't much you can do about it in the physical, and
getting upset won't help any! (II:139)

I want you to learn to depend more on Me, instead of your arm of the flesh. (II:141)

"God's way up is down." It's just that so few people want to go My way, precisely for that reason: it takes them downhill.
Down to the defeat of the flesh, the revelation of its uselessness, and up to the victory of the spirit and the revelation of its
superiority.
The less emphasis you put on the flesh, the more progress you'll make in combating your besetting sins, but they won't be
gone completely until you're out of the flesh. They won't have any more power over your saved spirit! Isn't that something
to look forward to?
The real thing is the spirit. The flesh is a little playground where you're able to play "god" for a little while... until you get
tired of it and decide you prefer to let Me take over that part in your life again. (II:178)

You must let go of the flesh and embrace the Spirit if you want to win the battles before you. (II:192)

I want to prove that the Spirit is more important than the flesh! My carnal presence is not necessary for you, My disciples,
to do greater miracles than I did. Paul accomplished more for Me than the eleven who had walked with Me and had seen
Me in the flesh! He relied on the Spirit!
The flesh is irrelevant! When it comes to accomplishing things for Me, what matters is the Spirit. Not how good you are in
the flesh. (II:207)

While the flesh is busy thinking up ways to save itself, it makes it very hard for you to create a deep connection with Me,
because I am the opposite of all its attempts. I am its enemy. That's why the Bible says that the natural man is at enmity
with God. The natural man doesn't want to trust Me but in himself.
You don't have to work for the flesh, but trust in Me and work for Me and My cause, promoting My message more
intensively, and I will take care of you. I don't want your flesh to do it, I want you to learn to let Me do it for you by your
doing what I really want you to do: the eternal and lasting work of the Spirit. (II:253)

Forget about the flesh and get into the Spirit! (II:259)

If I'm trying to teach you to get things done through Me and My Power, then you just can't seek to do it in the flesh. I'm
purposely weakening your arm of the flesh for that very reason, so, don't seek to strengthen it, don't let your carnal mind
drive you in the opposite direction of where I want you to be. (II:260)

Without Me ye can do nothing (Jn.15:5). This verse is the gist, the crux and the point of the thing I want you to learn. So, if
that's what I want you to learn, it means, quit doing things without Me! Quit doing them in your own strength and any other
391
way but through Me and My Power! (II:261)

The art of loving Me is an art of the Spirit, and it's not something that's born of the flesh, although I use the flesh the way I
can use a physical appearance to inspire an artist to create a work of art, but the magic lies in the inspiration, the spirit, not
merely in the physical appearance.
Although the physical appearance is divine in itself, in that it was created by the greatest Artist of all, you must realize that
the Spirit is something even higher, even greater, even more beautiful and more divine. (II:262)

You have to learn to see with My eyes first, otherwise it's useless: you will always feel inferior and like a loser, instead of
the winner you really are in spirit. You first have to learn to be what you really are, your spiritual you, and not fall into the
trap of the flesh. You've got to be My spiritual creation in order to fight the battle of the Spirit for souls! As long as you
walk around in the flesh, it's no use.
You've been so used to walking in the flesh, it's hard for you to get in the Spirit. Learning to fly isn't all that easy for
someone who has been walking a rut around a stake in the ground...
In order to really be free, stay focused on your goal, and resist the temptation to flip flop back to the old familiar stake... the
way of the past, the old way, the way of the flesh, the way that we want to leave behind in order to embrace the new. The
flesh is always vulnerable, your Achilles heel. It will always lure you into the trap of doing the wrong thing, of making
mistakes, and at one point or other, it could easily turn out to be a fatal one. (II:269)

Live in the Spirit, breathe in My Spirit, move with My Spirit; let My Spirit move and think and speak in and through you!
Satan sought to snuff out that fire, that light, and sought to get you to put the emphasis and focus on the result of that
Spirit, the gift of it, your talent, and he tempted you to lean on that, more than on Me and My living Spirit Herself! The result
was a dead end street and long detour of the flesh.
To be moving in My Spirit and to let My Spirit function in you requires that you let go of the crutches of the flesh, of leaning
on your own arm, talent or anointing for strength and support, and just cast yourself wholly into My arms, willing to trust in
nothing else but Me.
The Devil will tempt you with compromise. "Oh, but you can use both, the flesh and the Spirit!" But the more you fall back
into the gear of the fleshly methods of support, the less emphasis you will put on My vision for you, of truly putting My
Kingdom and My sheep first in your life!
Focus on the new way, the new thing I am doing in your life, and on the goal and vision of its purpose, namely not merely
to ensure your physical survival, but to bring true, eternal life to many souls who hunger and thirst for Me! (II:273)

Beware of walking in the flesh!

Forget everything you are in the flesh! (II:274)

The world always goes the way of the flesh, the selfish way, the way of decay, the ways of death! My way is always the new
way, the contrary to the usual way, the revolutionary, unselfish way, the way of faith! (II:277)

It's those disasters in the physical that sometimes result in the most beautiful spiritual events and miracles.
It's the Spirit that counts! It's not how "together" you are, how controlled, but how much you allow Me to control you!
You've got to get your focus off of the things that you're capable of, and focus on what I can do through you. Don't seek to
be in control, but let Me be in control.
What counts is the Spirit! Forget about the flesh. Perfection is flesh. Inspiration, the Spirit, that's what counts! So, let go of
the flesh and hang on to the Spirit!
Strive for the uncontrolled, passionate surrender to the white-hot fires of My Spirit. Let Me set you on fire, and the world
will come out to see you burn! It won't matter whether it will look weird! To hell with how it will look in the flesh! What
matters is the looks of it in the Spirit. (II:281)

Dive in to the Spirit! You don't have to trudge through that old, stagnant world, you can escape hither, to the Spirit... (II:282)

Some people's supposed spirit trip is nothing but a carnal trip of self-righteousness, pride and self-elevation and trying to
accomplish something in the arm of the flesh. Their arm of the flesh may be powered by spirits, but they're evidently not
My good, wholesome and clean holy spirits, but they have been sent strong delusion so that they might believe a lie,
simply because they did not receive the love of the truth. They had the chance to receive the truth, but when they rejected
it, that was their decision to take the down-hill slope. (II:283)

True fulfillment can only come from the Spirit.

I'm trying to get you to set your affections on things above, but your flesh just takes every opportunity it gets to run off
with every temptation.
I'm having to jerk the comfortable pillow of ease from under you, which is the breeding ground for that lack of desperation
and determination to really go on the attack. I can't make it easier for you. Things have to get tougher and worse in some
ways in order for them to get better in other ways. The flesh has to decrease, along with all its comforts, and the Spirit has
to increase, which only happens by greater emphasis on the spiritual and less emphasis on carnal and worldly things.
(II:284)

The strength of the flesh is a rope that promises to lead somewhere, like that way that seemeth right unto a man, but what
is the end thereof? If you know what's at the end of that way that seemeth right unto a man, then you can be prepared, and
392
walk another road.
Walk the humble road, the road that doesn't seem right to a man by his carnal reasoning, the road of faith, that tells you,
"Do it cause Daddy said so" - the path of obedience!
There is so much to learn, but it doesn't all fit into your mind. You've got to make room for it in your heart. Don't seek to
absorb it with your head. Let it sink in deep inside of you!
Take to heart the wisdom of the Spirit! (II:285)

You may be poor in the flesh, but can lead others in the ways of the spirit, the true and lasting riches, recognized only by
faith. (II:289)

What a mess people can make of their lives if they just go through the motions, walk in the flesh and never stop in order to
truly reach out and grasp for My Spirit, grab hold of Me and My grace to change their lives.
Spiritual relationships are actually more important than your physical ones, just as the Spirit is more important than the
flesh. Only by keeping the Spirit in first place will you be able to manage physical affairs, relationships, and your whole
life, for that matter, successfully. (II:302)

Letting go of any false, temporal or carnal securities in exchange for the invisible, thin rope of faith is the path that
requires the most courage and other honorable attributes.
So don't be surprised if you find yourself exhausted from it! The flesh only gets used to the spiritual after some training.
You know how it always prefers the lazy and easy way, unless it's to enhance its own abilities or show off its own
aspirations... when it comes to the spirit, it always gets very weak. But as you know, I have chosen the weak things to
confound the mighty. (II:303)

Spirit is so much more flexible than the flesh. The flesh profiteth nothing. The Spirit quickeneth, makes alive, helps you to
overcome and rise above your carnal weaknesses.
The danger about feeding yourself the input from the media, is that you're not content with what you've got anymore, you
don't appreciate it anymore. It's like the verse in James about one who sees his face in a mirror and forgets from then on
how he was made. He thinks he is actually that image he saw in the mirror. He thinks his flesh is all he is; all of a sudden
his spirit, his soul becomes irrelevant! And so it can happen if you focus too much on the physical and the flesh. (II:304)

The antichrist will be the epitome of the perfection of the flesh, of the carnal mind, and it will turn out to be the epitome of
defiance against God. The carnal mind is enmity with God. (II:310)

Usually those who find themselves "less blessed" in physical aspects, do find themselves more greatly blessed in
spiritual aspects in the long run. The poor, the needy, the sick, the handicapped, the disabled and weak... they all find their
way to Me much more easily and quickly than the rich, the strong, the successful, those for whom everything goes
alright... (II:342)

It's not the flesh, any carnal birth-right of being born into a certain group, club or church what makes you special or My
Endtime elite. It's how much each one embraces the spiritual heritage.
What determines how much of an old bottle you are is how much you cling to the flesh. How much do you allow any sort of
physical advantage to minister to your pride? The more you realize that the flesh profiteth nothing and that the Spirit is all
that matters, the more of a new bottle you can become. But first you've got to allow Me to shatter your old bottle attitudes,
mindsets and carnal dogmas you cling to, that which you "know" and think you're so sure of.
Have you got the heart? Have you got the love? Have you got the Spirit? Have you truly got what it takes to be My
disciple? Time will tell.
The flesh always needs to have something by which it can pull itself up, elevate itself, and glorify itself. For many it's age
or looks, fitness... whatever the devil can get them to worship or use to distract them from what's really relevant: the Spirit!
(II:345)

Tackle tasks in My Spirit, bathing projects in prayer, instead of going about it in the flesh. It's got to be My Spirit, ensure
that My Spirit is really there with you, make sure you get in the Spirit!
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. (II:348)

Everything carnal, what's spoken in the flesh, can sometimes merely be a distraction of what really needs to be said, and
what you would say if you were in the Spirit. (II:356)

You've got to get away from carnal thinking, the carnal effort to try to find or build paradise for yourself in that temporary
world! (II:361)

It's okay to do what you can in the flesh, but there comes a point where your flesh simply becomes too weak, and you're
just going to have to let Me do it for you. (II:372)

Some things you simply can't deal with in the flesh or solve with your own carnal mind. (II:376)

393
The weakness of God is stronger than the strength of man. (II:379)

If I'll only be able to efficiently use you by strengthening and awakening your spirit, I have to do and allow things in order
to get you to put less emphasis on the flesh. In order to truly develop a hunger for the riches and the nourishment of the
Spirit, you have to choose to forego and fast carnal things.
The things of heaven are so much more intriguing, so much more fascinating, so much more exciting and fun, and at the
same time so much more wholesome and edifying than the things of the physical world. And yet, you usually turn to the
physical for pleasure, because of its single advantage over the spiritual: that it's plainly visible to you.
The lust of the eyes is not of the Father because it distracts you from the Spirit (1.Jn.2:16). I do want you to use your eyes,
and I do want you to enjoy the truly pleasurable things, but you need to learn to see the spirit, namely the truly pleasurable
in them!
I'm constantly encouraging you to seek your pleasure in the spiritual, instead of the flesh because that's where the
greatest satisfaction and fulfillment lies. You can really discover much greater pleasures by looking for the spiritual
ingredient in things than by merely referring to the carnal for fun and relaxation. (II:381)

Your spiritual state is what matters most to Me! If you're desperate about your physical shape and your finances, but
somewhat self-satisfied about your spiritual state, when it's far from where it ought to be, then something's wrong!
Maybe your physical and financial state are both symbolic for what your spiritual state is, in My eyes, regardless of the fact
whether you're hearing from Me every day or not. If you're hearing from Me but aren't doing the things I say, then what
good is it? (II:385)

Youre not going to remedy every situation with carnal action or efforts of the flesh, but for some you're going to have to
avail yourself more of My spiritual Power and create a greater vacuum for Me to fill.
If things are not going and flowing the way they ought to in your life, then it's only because you haven't learned to avail
yourself of My power enough yet! You can't do it in the flesh! (II:387)

The reason I've been keeping you weak physically is for you to get accustomed to leaning on Me and operating in My
Spirit. I've made you incapable of doing anything on your own so that you would learn to do things by My power.
Watch out that you don't lose the connection! Guard it carefully, and don't fall back into the flesh-routine.
Only I can guarantee your operating in the Spirit and thus doing fruitful things that last, and that will cause you to really
make progress. (II:409)

People have to give up their own interests and yield to the benefit of the greater picture, the universal well-being of all
mankind, and the greatest way to achieve that is by recognizing that man is a spirit and thus needs spirit to fill his greatest
needs, and by turning to the Father of spirits and all flesh to help you to do so. (II:412)

Often those who are young and strong in the flesh are really old bottles in the spirit, because they're hung up in the old,
carnal and worldly ways of looking at things. (II:426)

With increasing affluence and ability to rely on the flesh, you lose that dependence on Me, and thus, your connection with
Me; in other words: the source of your spiritual riches.
So, the constant choice and battle is: flesh or spirit? What riches do you prefer: the spiritual, or the carnal and material?
The lasting, or the temporal? - Happiness, or mere contentment and self-satisfaction? (II:440)

My humiliating truth always says the exact opposite of what the pride and the flesh, their carnal mind tells them. (II:448)

Avail yourself of the power that's at your disposal, instead of leaning on your carnal abilities. (II:455)

I'm weakening your arm of the flesh, because I know that as long as you can rely on it and marvel at it, you'll always find
the majority of others around you inferior by comparison. I can't allow you to be more popular, because it would be
another confirmation of your abilities and your arm of the flesh and your own wit, when I want you to lean on Me and make
Me your strength, because it's the only strength that will see you through the times when your own wit won't be of any
avail to you.
Those who rely on their own understanding and abilities will fail inevitably. Only those who learn that there's a greater
strength to lean on than their own, stand a chance to make it through the dark future ahead. People who trust in their own
wisdom and knowledge and strength as their light are following a false light. It's that way - usually their own - that seemeth
right to a man, but the end of it is destruction. (II:484)

By allowing carnal things, people, influences and impulses to lead you, you're following them instead of Me, which means,
you're making them your leader, your boss, your god. (II:500)

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak; for to perform My will, you find it not in you. You would like to do My will, but the
flesh pulls you the other way, the way of your own will. (II:504)

I'm urging you to see the invisible cause of the visible more, to open up your spiritual eyes, the eyes of faith. If you see the
physical as a result of the Spiritual, then it simply takes on a lot more meaning. You know I meant something by allowing
this or that to happen, or even creating this or that situation. You'll know that nothing is without guidance, nothing is by
394
chance; it's all going somewhere, and thus you develop much greater faith and trust with which to walk through every day
of your life, and which you can then impart to others, too. (II:523)

If you live each day as unto Me, then you'll know and can rest assured that I'll carry the responsibility for the outcome and
you can float on My Spirit instead of having to crawl through your tasks in the flesh.
If you always seek to accomplish the most you can - however, not in the energy of the flesh, but by availing yourself of My
power - you'll up your productivity and pace in general.
Seek not to be able to be proud of your own accomplishments and carnal achievements, leaving your mark among
mortals, but make Me proud of you by investing all you've got into eternal rewards. Please Me by showing your faith in Me,
and investing into My Realm accordingly. Make My plans more important to you than your own. (II:529)

Put your cards on the Spirit, and the World to come, not the flesh and this present world. It means that you believe what I
said: "It is the Spirit that quickens (gives life), the flesh profits nothing" (Jn.6:63), that you have chosen the way of Abel, not
of Cain, the way of the "Lord-letters" not of the workers-in-the-flesh... (II:549)

When I say "the flesh profiteth nothing," it means that it's often only prolonging things, making them unnecessarily
complicated and creating a detour, when you're trying to figure out and accomplish things in the arm of the flesh, instead
of taking the simple way of childlike faith and the way of the Spirit. (II:552)

I'm trying to get you to swap from leaning on physical power, and lean on My shoulders instead.
I want you to put a greater emphasis on learning to acquire things you need by praying for them, by applying the spiritual
principle, "ask and ye shall receive," instead of leaning on the arm of the flesh. (II:553)

Make sure always that it's My inspiration and anointing, not an inroad or temptation of the flesh to make itself feel grander
and greater than is due! (II:560)

A day where I rule the circumstances, and one of which you can truly say, "this is the day which the Lord hath made," is a
day which is dedicated to My purpose, to the advance of My Kingdom, where all you've got is employed in order to bring
forth fruit for Me.
That is what "sowing to the spirit" refers to. Whereas all those activities that merely minister to the flesh won't serve to
make your fields prosper, but will only leave them barren and desolate, and any fruit or life on it will wither and fade (see
Gal.6:8). (II:563)

Look with the eyes of the spirit. If you look with the eyes of the flesh, you only see the obvious, but the eyes of the spirit
see deeper, beyond the flaws, and see the good and possibilities that others cannot! (II:583)

Elijah found out in the wilderness that My voice wasn't in the storm, nor the earthquake, nor the fire (1Kings 19:11,12), but in
hearing My still, small, spiritual voice, one that is not perceived with your physical senses, but Spirit. Man's spirit can only
be satisfied by spirit, as Francis said: "Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and that is what I want to find again: my soul."
You had to learn that what you were looking for was not found in the flesh, but in the Spirit. That's where the simple
solution lies, and where joy is found: in the Spirit. My Spirit is all you need. (II:590)

If you're a nationalist, you worship the flesh, you're bound to carnal ties, and you've been duped by the enemy to fall into
the pride of life, instead of having been freed by My truth and My Spirit to be someone who is not of this world. (II:591)

It's not exactly human nature to render everything to an invisible God Who demands things that go contrary to everything
your flesh tells you. The flesh yells for self-preservation, and I'm calling you to give it up, to let go. The flesh demands self-
glorification, but I say, "Uh-uh! Give it to Me!"
Thank you for choosing the path of My Spirit! I know how difficult it is. The flesh keeps trying to make its comeback, so,
thank you for persevering, for being faithful in keeping that heavenly vision and focus on the things that really count and
last, that I bring into your life! (II:607)

The goal is not to totally abandon physical affairs, but to let the spiritual have dominion over them, to allow Me to rule over
that physical realm in your life. But because the flesh strives against the spirit for superiority I'm having to remind you of
that constantly, to give the spiritual - Me - priority.
The flesh and its affairs cry "me first!" but I gently remind you to continue giving Me the first place. (II:611)

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. (II:612)

When you try to fix things in the flesh and in your own strength and wisdom, the outcome may improve temporarily, but
the final outcome may still not be the best, necessarily. Whereas, if you commit a matter into My hands, you can always
rest assured that the final outcome will be according to My will, and thus the best possible option there is, regardless of
what it may seem like temporarily. (II:613)

The carnal mind is enmity with God (Rom.8:7) because it yields more easily to the enemy's wavelength. (III:22)

You can combine the physical with the spiritual, and thus convert every physical matter into an at least partly spiritual one.
By "infecting" anything that's merely carnal, material and physical with a breeze of spiritual, it changes. (III:32)

It is the Spirit that brings to life otherwise dead matter. Real life comes from the Spirit - the flesh profiteth nothing, it
doesn't avail much, when it comes to making happiness last. (III:39)

When you strengthen your arm of the flesh, and that which builds up your pride and your self-reliance, then you weaken
the spirit.
You cannot build up both, simultaneously; you either strengthen the one or the other. You cannot invest in one without
taking from the other. By putting your trust in the arm of the flesh, you make it harder for yourself to find the door back
into the spirit.
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.
It's like you're invoking the strength of the world, instead of My meek and humble spirit, and the world may give you
temporary success and strength in the flesh, but you know what I think about worldly success. "What is highly esteemed
by men is an abomination to the Lord." Their idea of success is often My idea of failure.
You cannot indulge in the spirit of the world and drink from My cup at the same time, you must choose which it is you
want.
Giving your all in the spirit means going the humble way; giving that which humbles you, not that which builds up your
ego and pride and self-reliance. It means putting your trust in Me to the utmost, and giving what might cost you a step of
faith to give.
It's determined by the spirit in which you do it... relying on the flesh, or seeking My glory in it. (III:54)

If to be carnally minded is death, enmity with God, and not being subject to His law of love, and to be spiritually minded is
life and peace, you must choose wisely each day between those two paths I have set before you: the path of life, and the
path of death; the path of the flesh or the path of the Spirit.
Choose the path of life and spirit each day, and run away from all things that would promote the flesh or the things that the
flesh would beckon you to do, the way of death, that is not love and life and spirit. Flee youthful lusts, run away from the
temptations and enticements of the flesh, and run in the other direction.
There's never an excuse to settle for the ways of the flesh, the easy way out or the "safe" way. Always cling to Me, lean on
Me and rely on My Spirit. (III:55)

It's not so much what you do that matters, but why you do it, what motivations and incentives lie behind it. What's the
spirit behind it? You've got My Spirit, so let that be the Spirit that's behind the things that you do. (III:61)

What you are is important. Especially when you have managed to become nothing for Me. The art is in building up what
you are supposed to be without simultaneously building up your pride, your ego, your carnal self, that which you're not
supposed to be.
Your soul consists of your whole man, body and spirit. What we had to get rid of was the carnal man, the one who just
seeks to build up his own pride and seeks the opposite of My will for you, the sinful nature in you that always seeks to
contradict Me, to doubt Me, to strive against Me, to run away from Me. But if the first thing you do every morning is yield
your whole life to Me, and spend the time with Me that is needed in order to shed the carnal man and put on the spiritual
man, then we can also wholeheartedly focus on building up your body and all that goes with it.
How easy it is to misjudge things, people and situations, and how easy it is to see things the wrong way... the carnal way.
The carnal way likes to camouflage itself as the spiritual way and manifests itself especially in religious hypocritical self-
righteousness. The Pharisees were more carnal-minded and "in the flesh" than those sinners they looked down on,
because the "spiritual" sins of self-righteousness and spiritual pride are much more severe, and much more deeply rooted
in the flesh than the mere desire to enjoy the bodies I have given you, including all its functions.
That's why there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. To the carnal mind it looks
the opposite of the way I see it. That's what My truth does, and bathing yourself in the truth of My Words: it helps you to
see things My way, and not the way your carnal mind would interpret things.
Of course, the most important thing is the Spirit, and what they can see in your eyes is so much more relevant and
important than any physical sample could be.
It's the spirit that counts, and that you can only see, once you look beyond the exterior, and you've got to make that effort.
(III:62)

My still small voice of truth that promotes the path of sacrifice and humility is inaudible to the majority, who are still
following the ways of the flesh.
My will for you will usually be the path of crucifixion, not the exaltation of the flesh. (III:67)

Disregard the opportunity for relying on the flesh in the more favorable circumstances, and instead of patting yourself on
the back, or trusting in your own arm of the flesh, choose to stay humble and desperate and dependent on Me, as if
nothing had changed, truly treating success the same as failure: praising Me for both, and treating them equally. (III:72)

The Great Link is the Spirit World. Here you are truly at Home. In the physical world you have causes for fear and anxiety,
396
and you worry about the diminishing state of your substance. Here, there is no fear, because nothing diminishes, nothing
can ever be lost - everything constantly grows, and there is only eternal gain, no loss, whatsoever.
The flesh must decrease, so that the spirit may increase. Life in the spirit is brought about by letting go and death in the
flesh. The more you let go in the flesh, the more you grow in the spirit.
It's like a heavenly bank of spiritual wealth. (III:95)

Instead of relying on your arm of the flesh for the things you need, I would like you to turn to Me and rely on Me instead.
(III:96)

The things of the Spirit need to become just as integral a part of your daily life as the physical things you wouldn't let
anybody cheat you out of, like eating drinking and sleeping.
The drive of the flesh can sometimes pull you away from Me and into a rut that may seem like a form of godliness, but
without the power thereof. (III:112)

It is simply the best for you to stay closest to Me, your helpers, closer to the Spirit, and not veer into the carnal gear of
things, which will just weaken you in spirit and cause you to fail.
You will only succeed in your mission if you don't make a mess out of things by trying to do it in the flesh.
By destroying the supremacy of little flesh families, I create a bigger, spiritual Family. (III:115)

Seeking refuge and comfort and relief in the Spirit is the only effective weapon that will protect you from disappointments
with the affairs of the physical world. With the physical world, the motto applies, "Enjoy it while it lasts," while lasting
enjoyment and a reliable source of satisfaction are only found in the Spirit.
Staying in the Spirit certainly enhances your times of physical enjoyment. (III:116)

The enemy will try to revive your ego, and make your own, carnal self strong, remind you that you can do it yourself, and
try to get you to rely on yourself and your own carnal strength as much as possible, just to avoid your letting go and
letting Me and My Spirit take over and take control. (III:117)

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. (III:122)

Once you've got the spiritual side straight in your life, and there's no question about that anymore, then it's time to focus
on how you can best and most efficiently put all that spiritual input into practice, convert it into a living, flesh and blood
sample. (III:127)

If you're humble enough to be in a receiving and learning position in relation to anyone you come across, you'll find life in
general a much greater success, when you come to the end of the road, than if you go through it constantly pushing your
own thing on others.
It's the art of being open enough to see Me in everything, including in everybody you come across. (III:132)

My disciples had to realize that it could only be the Spirit that was going to pull them through. No carnal presence, no
personality cult, nothing and no one in the flesh... Only God can see you through to accomplish what He wants you to, and
He cannot use you until you're ready and will have learned that. (III:157)

The large gist of those who call themselves My people are continuing to lead the world astray into the worship of
Mammon, the ways of self, the glory of the flesh and the worship of the things they create with their own hands...
My Spirit and My grace, and the Father's love are a lot more all-embracing and all-encompassing than many so-called
Christians and even sincere Christians would give Him credit for. Their philosophy remains one of separation and shutting
others out, while My call has always been, "Come!" Whoever is athirst, let him come and drink of the waters of life freely!
(III:164)

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. That's why you've got to learn to operate in the Spirit and let the
willingness, zest and enthusiasm of the Spirit empower and motivate you, spur you on. (III:176)

You cannot take your spiritual blessings for granted, but you must guard them well.
You have to keep the spiritual things first.
Otherwise your decision to yield to the calls of the material world instead may take you for a detour ride into a spiritual
desert, where you'll have to find your connection with Me again.
Always allow the spiritual to maintain the upper hand.
It's simply the more important. It's the more lasting, the more vital, and the more necessary part for you.
The distractions and temptations are there for you to learn to resist them and keep them in their proper place, and never
allow them to take Mine. (III:206)

The flesh chooses that which feels good and is pleasurable... Nobody suffers voluntarily. But what price are you willing to
pay for your comfortable life-style? Who and what are you going to betray?
Set your affections on things above, seek to derive your pleasure and satisfaction from the very Source of life, from Me.
(III:214)

397
In the end, all the efforts of the flesh without availing itself of the power of the Spirit will turn out to have been decoys,
detours, distractions, and a waste of time, good merely as another lesson on the long list of ways how not to do it.
If you want to get there faster and quicker, you're going to have to go slower, and do the exact opposite of what your flesh
tells and urges you to do.
Stop all the feverish activity in the flesh and find out by waiting for Me and My input where I really want you to go, and if
necessary, let Me take you there; find out what I really want you to do, and if necessary, allow Me to do it through you and
for you. "Stand back and see Me fight," instead of rushing off into the battle half-baked yourself.
Just as it's appetite of mice that lures them into the trap and to their doom, so it is the appetites of the flesh that often lead
you into the traps of the distraction, the wrong way, the opposite direction of where I want you to go.
To be a follower, a disciple of Mine, means going in the opposite direction of where the world is going and the flesh would
lead you. (III:215)

The power that makes things happen comes from Me, from My invisible, eternal Realm... and often in spite of yourselves
and attributes of your own, so that it's all a work of My grace and no flesh should glory in My Presence. (III:227)

Certain things never would have happened, if there wouldn't have been that someone to disobey their carnal reasoning.
They forsook all that made perfect sense to the rest of the world for some call they felt in their hearts and they just couldn't
ignore... that defied all their flesh would have wanted and beckoned them to do. (III:236)

I need you to make that transition from flesh to spirit, from putting the emphasis on physical things to putting it on
spiritual things, I need you to put first things first and seek first the Kingdom.
I wish for you to take your spiritual nourishment and care and grooming as serious as you would the care you bestow on
your physical body.
What We've got to offer over Here is so much better, so much healthier, so much more worthwhile than the kicks and thrills
you've got in the physical world. (III:239)

I know the flesh of My servants and handmaidens is weak, though their spirits be willing. (III:245)

The flesh fights being desperate and being dependent... it wants to be happy and independent. And so it shows you other
directions in which to look for satisfaction. (III:252)

You grow older and weaker, your body obviously deteriorates. But what really counts is the spirit! Your spirit is being
rejuvenated, invigorated, and by reading those words of Mine you feel young again.
Whatever you give and pass on has got to be inspired, if you want it to inspire others. It cannot be just cold, dead facts or
figures or words... It's got to be alive.
It's got to be more than what's coming from your own carnal mind. (III:268)

To make the right decisions in life will ensure happiness, fulfillment and fruitfulness, as opposed to the way of the flesh.
The art is getting people to forsake their own way and convince them that Mine is better! In other words, you're trying to
talk them into accepting My leadership and authority over their lives, and trading in their autonomy, which actually is
nothing but the dictatorship of the flesh, for the rule of My Spirit, and let them experience first hand which one of the two
paths it is that provides the greater joy and happiness. (III:276)

I'm putting it more and more into people's hearts to be able to recognize the right kind of authority, My kind of authority,
that stands in the power of the Father, the power of Love, no artificial level of power or authority in the carnal. (III:278)

Just as you're finding out that I can't let you be as perfect as you'd want to be, but I'm having to keep you humble by
allowing you to make mistakes and blunders, so it is with others: if they would be perfect, then there would be a lot of folks
with them for the wrong reasons, putting their faith in people, the group, the body, the flesh, instead of My Spirit! (III:292)

Fight in the spirit, not the flesh. Do you think that what I have begun in the Spirit, you're now supposed to complete in the
flesh (Gal.3:3)? (III:342)

The inspiration that stems from the feeling of having accomplished something in the flesh, is not 100% pure and genuine
inspiration of My Spirit. (III:343)

There is such a thing as doing too much in your own strength, too much for the wrong incentives, too much in the flesh.
Do whatever you can, and don't worry about the part you can't do, because I will take care of that! (III:363)

Flesh-people are always looking for fast, visible fruits and results of their own muscle or wit, so that they can pat
themselves on the back and show how much they deserve what they desire - much more so than the weaker ones... the
sort of folks who don't get things rigged up in their own strength but have to rely on My grace. (III:364)

The flesh thinks and trusts that all things will continue as they are. (III:376)

It takes humility to sometimes share less than all you could, to say less than everything you know all at once, and to
maybe let somebody else do the talking for a change.
398
Otherwise, it can become an act of the flesh, rather than relying on the gifts of My Spirit to really pour out to them what I
tell you they need. It can become merely an exchange of carnal knowledge, when what you really need to do is pour out
rivers of living water from the Spirit, rather than your head. (III:386)

You cant do the things Im asking you to do in the flesh. Theyre spiritual efforts, fought with the weapons of the Spirit.
(III:395)

When you become upset with Me for allowing unpleasant circumstances, youre in effect putting yourself above Me. Youre
criticizing Me for the way Im handling things, for the extent to which Im allowing reality to veer from the confines you
would give it, if you were in My place.
Its a matter of seeing things from My angle, not taking for granted that whatever conclusions your carnal mind may have
reached are the A and O of everything(III:398)

Sometimes when you think youre doing great, you turn out to be doing not so great, after all, and those times when youre
really broken and good for nothing are often the times Im using you the most.
That ought to teach you not to resist and fight against those times of brokenness, but rather to embrace and welcome
them. Its another aspect and facet of seeing things My way, instead of the carnal way.
Your natural man resists the down times, and tries to pull himself up and make you feel better again, pep you up again, and
restore the champion in the old man and the arm of the flesh and restore their former glory. But the true art is to stay
down there and let it be and just be content anyway, in spite of not being on top of things.
Take it by faith that those hard times are just as much part of My plan, and thus just as much reason to rejoice as the
good times. (III:401)

You cant take it for granted that things are going to flow smoothly if youre not bathing them in My Spirit and prayer, and
just try to push them through in the flesh.
Im not going to let you get away with not operating in My Spirit! (III:406)

Some people only take note of the physical totally oblivious to the spiritual. All that interests them is the here and now;
the flesh. Its as if the spirit doesnt even exist, as far as theyre concerned. The spirit doesnt even faze them. Theyre
totally flat Flatlanders. (III:410)

The process of making absolutely nothing out of you, so that I can think and move and act in you, involves taking you
down to the depths of your soul, bringing you to the point of willingness to let go of everything that builds up your flesh,
pumps up the arm of your flesh artificially
It includes reducing the numbers that make up your life: the amount of money you possess and possessions you can
afford, until you feel like, My life aint worth a dime.
In establishing lasting and eternal values, sometimes the earthly values have to be abolished first. (III:418)

Trusting in My Spirit, rather than the flesh seems to be a somewhat monotonous lesson, but its one of utmost and
supreme importance. Theres no way around it. Its like, if you want to get anywhere in life, youre going to have to learn
how to walk, you cant get around it. Learning about the advantages of the Spirit over the flesh is also about getting ahead,
instead of falling back.
Many people fall back, they dont really make any headway or real advance and progress, because theyre betting on the
flesh; theyre sowing to the flesh and thus reap the corruption of the flesh. Only the Spirit brings life, and thats a lesson
that will only hardly enter into carnal minds. (III:426)

Just as God provided soap for physical filth and dirt, He has also provided the spiritual detergent of His Word and Spirit
for you to get clean on a spiritual level. (III:429)

The universal lesson of flesh or spirit that initiated 6000 years ago with the event of Cain and Abel is going to be played
out until the very end, as evident in the difference between those who rely on their own flesh and those who know that I am
their only hope. (III:431)

Physical encounters are always spiritual ones as well. Everybody you meet carries a spirit around with them, one that will
either lift up or knock down, and you have to discern which is the case with each one.
Cling to the Spirit, and be not distracted by the finite, pitiful, oh so temporal, howbeit glittering lures and enticements of
the flesh. (III:446)

If your flesh is deteriorating and diminishing, then My Spirit in you can prosper and come to the fore more.
Trying to improve your physical shape a bit by catching up on your exercise is a good thing, and Im all for it, but you
ought to keep Me and spiritual things in the first place.
Without Me and My Spirit any of those efforts become less than worthwhile, because the no.1 requirement for being the
type of person you ought to be is to stay in My Spirit.
Whatever you do in the physical, you can make it a spiritual act simultaneously, by giving Me the glory for it, praising Me
while you do it, thanking Me for it. By receiving all things with thanksgiving, you sanctify them, which in a sense means,
you transfer them from being purely physical matters into the spiritual realm as well, because youre allowing My Spirit to
have part in them! (III:452)
399
Its becoming more expedient than ever, not to rely on the carnal mind anymore, but to make sure you get ahold of My
Spirit, My view and My opinion on matters. (III:455)

The spiritual building blocks are those destined for eternity, while the physical will largely have to undergo major
modifications and changes and adjustments, before theyre going to be ready to merge with the Spirit World. (III:457)

Usually the tendency of the flesh is to be fairly infatuated with itself. Most people, even Christians, dont agree in their
hearts with what Paul wrote, I know in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing (Rom.7:18).
They think everything thats connected with their flesh, their families, their off-spring, their countries of origin, their
national or local soccer team, etc., whatever is theirs is the best and the greatest, and theyre virtually blind to its flaws.
(III:473)

The flesh likes to think of itself as immortal, always refusing to recognize and face its limitations, and the kingdom of the
flesh is the System. Just as My Realm and Kingdom is the spiritual one, so the enemys kingdom will become more and
more the realm of the flesh, the physical realm, where soon the game will be played entirely by his rules, under his rule and
actual, physical leadership. (III:480)

Imagining how things are going to be is like an attempt of the flesh to figure out whats before you. But real preparedness
is the knowledge of My Word that you have stored up in you, and the Presence of My Spirit in you. (III:511)

Im very unattractive to your physical senses, because there is nothing there that they can perceive, and your flesh is
rigged up in such a way that it will desire the things that will ensure its survival and fill its cravings. Yet thats where your
faith needs to come in to tell the rest of you that even though it may not seem like it, I am an exceptional Source of supply.
Its a little bit like with people and cats. Normally, cats wouldnt accept people as bonafide source of food and their needs,
theyd follow their instincts and look for mice and birds and anything they can hunt. But after a while experience teaches
them that these humans taking care of them, especially that one special human that seems to be in charge, are an
exceptional source that is to be trusted in spite of the natural instincts that tell them to go looking elsewhere for food. That
human source is so much more abundant and reliable, that the natural means couldnt be compared to them, and over
time, it proves to be extremely reliable and worthy of their trust.
Well, thats how it is with Me and you, too. Your natural senses are still trying to look elsewhere for the satisfaction of your
desires and needs, but I want you to realize from your experiences, that there is an even more trustworthy Source of all the
things you need, and that is Me. (III:513)

The gospel of the flesh is a term that adequately describes Satans Manifesto. Come, let us show the Almighty just how
strong we are, and see whether we cannot cast Him off His throne
In their short-sightedness they dont see the power of spirit. The only value they see is flesh their own, glorious flesh.
Flesh is what rules, and flesh is all that counts. Flesh is what they will put their money on, yea, they will dedicate and
sacrifice their lives to the flesh.
The more you realize the error of the way of the flesh, the more it will drive home to you the supremacy of the spirit, and
just how important it is that you not be blinded by the lures of the flesh. (III:531)

The flesh pushes for its survival, and it wants to save itself, its energy, its life. Its opposed to giving, yielding and
sacrificing it all for the sake of another. (III:534)

Its natural for the flesh to think of itself as the greatest, and thus the most worthy of causes to promote. Thats why Im
allowing you to make experiences that prove to you otherwise and that expose the true, treacherous, deceitful nature of
the flesh. You think you can trust it, because youre so familiar with it, and it assures you it has learned all the lessons
from its past sins and mistakes, and the moment youre not looking, youve got an unguarded moment where it stabs you
in the back and causes you to commit a blunder thats going to wake you up again to its true nature.
The truth is, you cant trust the flesh. Thats why My Word says that Accursed is the man that maketh flesh his arm
(Jer.17:5). It just doesnt pay. And it often takes quite a while for someone to learn the lesson that it is so. (III:544)

Flesh is flesh, and can satisfy flesh, but only My Spirit can satisfy and quench the thirst of that innermost you! (III:546)

Just doing what everybody else does, fulfilling your duties, responsibilities and obligations to mammon and the flesh, is
not anything potential to change the world for better.
You either sow to the flesh or to the spirit, and those who sow to the flesh simply cant relate to those who sow to the
spirit.
The devil is the champion of the flesh team, those that root for the glory of the flesh and all this earthly life has to offer.
I am the Champion of the apparent losers, who wont amount to anything much at all in the flesh, and Im advocating faith
in My Promise that there is going to be a better world than this one. (III:548)

When you try to do it in your own strength and energy, you allow yourself to get into a rush. In fact, thats how you can tell
that youre working in your own strength. Whereas if you go forth in My Spirit, theres a calmness about it, a peace that
comes from knowing that it doesnt have to be you; in fact, it shouldnt be you, thats why theres no reason whatsoever to
get uptight and feel under pressure about anything, because the weight of the responsibility concerning the outcome rests
400
on My shoulders, not yours. (III:559)

If youre allowing carnal ways of thinking to rule your day, then carnal words will come out of your mouth, and if you sow
to the flesh, you will also reap the corruption of the flesh. If you adapt to the nonsensical talk of the world, dont be
surprised if youre going to reap the fruits of it. (III:580)

Trust in Me, not any other commodity or physical strength, talent or attribute!
Youve got to make sure that you wont allow yourself to put your confidence in your own flesh, your own wit and abilities,
instead of in Me. (III:595)

Things begin to unravel as soon as you shift your dependence from Me to the arm of the flesh. (III:597)

Any amount of energy and time invested in promoting your arm of the flesh is wasted time and energy. The only thing Im
actually interested in and care about is the spreading of the message that will bring souls into the Kingdom. (IV:1)

Youre going to have to learn more and more to take your eyes off of the obvious, the physical circumstances and factors,
and tune in to the spiritual instead.
When you look at the physical, youre sunk! There are no happy endings in real life for the flesh. Thats why this whole
infatuation with gloom and doom and the darker side of things that so many of the younger generation are subject to, is
just another trip of the flesh, and shows just how little they adhere to the spirit. They champion the cause of the flesh and
ignore the spirit.
It takes faith to prefer the spirit over the flesh, and esteem the spiritual above the carnal.
Walking by faith and not by sight should drive home the importance of focusing on the spiritual, rather than the physical,
temporal world and all its interests. (IV:2)

You cannot help but win, even if I use the apparent losers to show the world what is true victory, not wrought of the flesh,
but of that which truly brings life: My Spirit.
In the flesh you may see death, but the life that is wrought by the spirit is the real thing that lasts. (IV:12)

Your mind will take you anywhere if you let it, wherever it deems that success and strength will be waiting. The only
problem is, theres no happiness, no joy, no peace, no love waiting there, because those are the fruits of the Spirit,
whereas the mind working on its own without My Spirit will just bring forth the fruits of the flesh.
The battle royal between flesh and spirit is ever-present. If you forget the lesson for just a moment, the flesh will take
advantage of it and try to make its break, and, of course, the spirit, in its tender and gentle way doesnt stand much of a
chance to oppose it. The spirit is always the victim of the flesh and its aggressive ways. The spirit will always bring
salvation and new life to the flesh once the flesh has come to its end, and is ready to accept that the spirit indeed is
superior, but it usually wont take long until the flesh will figure once again that it can do it on its own. (IV:15)

Instead of seeking physical comfort, keep the spiritual up front, and seek to be fit, rather than comfortable! (IV:27)

The only way anybody in My service is ever going to make it to the finish line victoriously is by faith, not by sight and
being able to calculate every little step ahead, relying on ones own strength, wit and abilities.
So its going to take a miracle for you to be able to make it, instead of you being able to rely on your own skill. Does that
surprise you that Im not allowing you to get away with relying on your own strength?
I want and need success to be brought about by My Spirit, My power and grace, not by your relying on your own skills.
The final outcome and happy end of history will be despite the mess that mankind would have made out of it all, and only
because of My wonder-working and miraculous grace, and thats what I want you to put your whole faith in, not any
personal, carnal abilities.
Its natural for the flesh to want to show off all that it can and all that it is, and that remains ones priority until the point
where the flesh has reached its limits and proven itself to be insufficient.
Is it any wonder that there is such a great lack of Holy Spirit, as long as everybody just tries all they can do in the flesh?
There is still way too much flesh energy and carnal attempts to make it happen instead of folks really relying on Me to do it
for them or through them.
The emphasis should definitely be on the Word, the message, and the spiritual treasures I dont want you to hide in the
ground.
I want you to use your abilities in order to spread My news and message, but the problem is sometimes that you tend to
use your gifts in whatever way and for whatever purpose just happens to seem convenient, without really making much of
a difference whether it glorifies the flesh or the Spirit.
Whats important is that you keep the focus and the emphasis on the essential, namely the Spirit, My message, and the
purpose of it all, and dont fall into the trap of investing your energies in something that will glorify the flesh or yourself
instead. (IV:29)

Faith and trust run circles around pride and all the carnal mind will ever rig up in its own efforts. (IV:33)

Sometimes I need you to recover from a longer stretch of operating in the energy of the flesh, and get into Spirit-gear
again (IV:34)

401
Flesh = temporal; spirit = eternal. Youre largely concerned with temporal matters when you become obsessed with the
flesh, instead of investing your energies and resources in the eternal. (IV:39)

Efforts are futile if made in the energy of the flesh, instead of the Spirit.
At first the race is run in the flesh with perhaps a little help from My Spirit. But the truly experienced know that it is not in
the energy of the flesh that the race is won, and they rely more fully on My Spirit to carry them through the finish line.
You have only just begun to battle in the spirit, and part of you still yearns to run with the younger generation, but you
have to let go and realize that that isnt your task, but your task is to be an example of how much more efficient it is to
wrestle and fight in the Spirit, in other words, let My Strength do the fighting for you.
The weaker you become, the more you learn to rely and depend on My strength, and naturally, I want to prove that this is
the way you truly get more accomplished.
So, while for some it may mean to do all they physically can, to become more professional in what theyre doing, in your
case it may mean something else, namely that I want you to learn how to professionally rely on My strength, My guidance
and wisdom, so that once the younger crowd starts running out of their natural steam, you can show them an even better
way that is found in letting go of the trust in the arm of the flesh, and starting to rely on a much greater power (IV:55)

In many physical aspects it has become a lot easier for most than it was in My day, but at the same time it makes the
spiritual aspect so much harder.
The more the flesh is pampered and indulged, the harder it is to keep up the spiritual values. (IV:65)

The essential communication is the spiritual communication, even if it may not seem to be getting you anywhere in this
world.
In reality, it is much more important and crucial in keeping you alive and going, and successfully so, than any physical
means of communications ever could.
Youve been dependent on physical connections for practically your whole life, and its not so easy to make the transition
of switching to Spirit Power, but thats basically what this whole lesson of Flesh Vs. Spirit amounts to.
How much preeminence are you really willing to give to the Spirit? How much do you really believe in its superiority over
the flesh? (IV:83)

The first necessary step toward staying on the track of the Holy Spirit is to recognize how futile the alternative is, and to
determine that thats not what you want.
The enemy keeps offering you deals that make you reconsider, and says, You dont have to discard everything from
your old life or everything your flesh has managed to achieve! Dont be so extreme! Compromise!
It takes wisdom not to fall into the trap of carnal temptations, and usually that wisdom is only acquired by the experience
where that sort of temptation will lead the ultimate lack of real satisfaction and the disappointment and failure to keep
what it promised.
Some people come up with their own carnal, counterfeit version of giving, because they discovered that there is a
certain reward and satisfaction in making others happy, but since they dont really know anything about the true and
spiritual, eternal standards of love and happiness, they dont know how to give the truly good things to people, but can
actually wind up giving them things that are bad for them, and thus make matters worse, like some of those grandmothers
with good intentions who spoil their grandchildren rotten, or people who try to comfort people with their wrong,
intellectual kind of advice.
They think theyre doing others some good, but really only make matters worse, because they are deceived, and work
according to the carnal wisdom of their flesh, and flesh is flesh; only the Spirit brings life.
So whats the way to stay out of temptation and out of the rut of the flesh?
First of all realizing that thats not where its at; that this broad way that the majority are trotting down with their usual way
of doing things and their run-off-the-mill pursuit of happiness that doesnt really work, is the wrong way, and then looking
for the alternative, which is My way. (IV:119)

As long as you allow circumstances to rule your life, instead of claiming the authority over them, along with the moods
they bring, you will have to fight and put yourself and your energy back on the side of the spirit
You either fight on the side of the spirit, or you allow the flesh to gain the upper hand, and if you do, it will take some effort
to enable the spirit to regain its ground, comparable to a wrestler regaining the top position after being overwhelmed by
his opponent
The spirit is stronger as long as you avail yourself of it. If you just let things have their way and neglect the spirit, the flesh
will gain the upper hand soon (IV:124)

It all boils down to the question of whether your attitude is me first or Jesus and others, then you.
Its obvious that the flesh roots for the first option, and its going to take the supernatural work of grace and of the spirit to
overcome that and achieve some good in spite of the inklings and urges of the flesh
You have to put your will on My side, and really pray wholeheartedly Thy will be done! And allow Me to make it happen.
Youve got to allow Me and the Spirit to take the upper hand over the flesh and all that it wants and craves. (IV:126)

Im trying to get you to avail yourself of the spirit instead of the flesh.
Your spirit helpers will be a greater and more stable source of genuine inspiration to you than any frail and flawed physical
human ever could
I do understand your need and desire for fellowship, and I do try to comply with that demand to the best degree possible,
402
but when it comes to a place or group of individuals I would really like you to look for with hope and strength, then I would
truly prefer you to put your eyes on Heaven, and whats Here
The degree to which the army of spirit helpers thats available to you have overcome evil is unequalled by anyone
currently on earth, because they have run the race and finished the course, they have reached their goal and can tell and
show you how you can best reach yours.
You need to avail yourself of the Spirit to a greater extent.
Its the only way youre ever going to wind up being a satisfactory support to your fellow human beings on earth, and the
only way they can manage to be the same for you, because the flesh profiteth nothing, only the spirit brings life.
You must realize that this is where your strength lies, and quit putting your hopes anywhere in the physical realm.
Its the Spirit that makes possible and brings forth all that is good, that is pleasant, edifying and brings life. The flesh really
profiteth nothing and doesnt contribute anything to that process.
If you want to do good, if you want to bring life, then avail yourself of the Spirit! (IV:127)

The mind wants to run free, like a wild horse. Its the strongest part of that which I call the flesh, that wants to rely on its
own strength and show off its own power, instead of yielding to and relying on Me.
Its a sacrifice to yield your mind to Me. It doesnt come naturally. You give something that costs you. You must be
convinced that youre better off giving your mind to Me than letting it roam free where it can do what it wants.
Its all a matter of will: whether you want to do My will or your own, and even if you made the choice to do Mine, the mind
will try all it can to convince you otherwise, or at least to make it as hard on you as possible to stay on that course of My
will.
The flesh is programmed to the motto My will be done since the Fall. (IV:133)

Stop leaning on your arm of the flesh for your support! (IV:135)

When your interests lie in the physical realm, and youve got some ardent desire that you just want to see fulfilled, it
becomes quite hard to be an empty vessel that can just tune in and receive from the spirit world. As soon as you become
willful, and focused on something you want and just have got to have, you pretty much block out everything else, and
become virtually deaf to the signals of your helpers and My whispers. (IV:145)

Sowing to the flesh wont bring you any eternal dividends. (IV:147)

I want you to invest your energy in your faith in Me and My Cause, to make a believing effort and project your hopes and
expectations on Me, and not try to come up with some carnal solution of something you might do in the arm of the flesh
(IV:155)

Youre still seeking happiness in the flesh, when Ive been trying to convey to you all along how dim the chances are of
ever finding it there. All along Ive been beckoning you, Over Here, this is where it is! Here is where youll find true
happiness! But you just keep wandering off in the opposite direction (IV:178)

Its the nature of the flesh to overestimate its capacities.

The flesh thinks itself capable of handling and resisting the temptation, but experience and reality will often paint a
different picture. (IV:182)

You can do whatever you can in the flesh and in the physical, but if you dont see to it that it will get the necessary boost
and umph from the Spirit World, your efforts might be rendered nearly futile, or at least not nearly as effective as otherwise
they might have been. (IV:191)

The question at the beginning of every day of your life is, what are you going to fill your life with today? The values that
last or the temporary values of the world? Are you betting on flesh or spirit? - Time or Eternity? - The fake or the Real
Thing? The enemys empty promises, or on Me? (IV:200)

Its quite a shift from the preserving of the flesh gear to the losing your life gear that is involved in the dying daily of
witnessing. Theres nothing in it for the flesh: no glory, no survival benefits, only a humbling and breaking process and
death to pride.
The flesh is constantly asking, Cant I do something else instead? - Something more useful?
When there is hardly anything more useful to find than witnessing, as far as Im concerned
It takes you down to the depth of the death of self and ego, when what your flesh wants is to ascend into the sunshine and
the limelight.
Its not in you to do My will, as even Paul said. The desire may be there, and the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
What you need to seek wholeheartedly is My grace to do it anyway, no matter how hard your flesh rebels and strives
against it. (IV:201)

The flesh always tends to become stuck in a rut sooner or later. It may think its immortal, but inevitably and unstoppably
moves toward the proof of the opposite, and that its only the spirit that brings life. (IV:203)

The flesh is the flesh, whether youre part of My chosen people or inner circle, or not. The flesh will always lure the flesh
to walk the way of the flesh, and those who will be able to resist that pull will always be a minority. (IV:208)
403
The more you rely on the Spirit, the less you will have that urge to do it yourself, in the flesh. You simply learn by
experience that the Spirit is the easier and better and more effective way in the long run, that the flesh may have its
advantages, but theyre always finite, and sooner or later its bound to let you down, and the sooner you will have learned
to depend on the Spirit, the more and longer you will find yourself sustained, even in situations in which the flesh would
have let you down. (IV:209)

Salvation will come to you from the Spirit. Thats the hills from whence cometh your Help. Not from the physical heights
and big shots around you in your realm, but from the Lord which made Heaven and Earth. (IV:213)

Im not limited by many or by few, and one person truly yielded to Me can be more useful to Me under the right
circumstances than a whole army of folks who still havent grasped the difference between flesh and spirit. (IV:220)

The Spirit World is superior to the physical; and another advantage of spirit over flesh: its a lot less complicated. A lot less
is needed. Everything is stripped down to a lite version of its counterparts in the physical world. (IV:236)

Your flesh and your momentary still somewhat carnal mind and thus very limited comprehension simply wont allow you to
grasp the sum total of everything You wouldnt be able to handle it.
Thats another reason why I said, The flesh profiteth nothing. Even if one would try to explain all things to the carnal
mind, it couldnt handle it. Thats why I wont even try, but I will ask you instead to have a little faith and look toward that
day when all things shall be revealed. (IV:243)

Surrounding you with people you don't seem to get along with, don't jibe with, don't seem to have much in common with,
and putting you in situations you want to get out of, isn't this exactly the way I get you to look at Me, focus on Me, instead
of any person, and make Me your best Friend instead of anyone else in the flesh?
Maybe you would still prefer a flesh and blood buddy and best friend, but I'm just telling you what's better for you. If it was
even better for My disciples that I disappeared in the flesh, don't you think that My Spirit and its Presence in your life is
more important than physical friendship or relationship? (IV:245)

I want to satisfy your spirit, which can only be satisfied by spirit. You keep looking for means and ways to satisfy your
flesh.
Its not as though I would forbid you to enjoy any of the pleasures of the flesh, but you seek and want more, and
erroneously think that if you could enjoy more, then youd be happier.
You seek these things as a confirmation and boost of your flesh, sort of as a pat on the back that tells you, You deserve
this, because of this and this and that of your attributes
Whereas I have blessed My children with extraordinary blessings because they relied on Me. (IV:246)

The flesh profiteth and is good for nothing (Jn.6:63). Works of the flesh dont bring life, only works of My Spirit accomplish
that, when theyre wrought by and through My power, not your own, and that fact is being acknowledged.
If you do the work by My Spirit and fail to acknowledge it, its as if you avail yourself of someone elses means to
accomplish something, but refuse to give them credit for it. In other words, you steal something from them thats rightfully
theirs, and because that is morally wrong, and in other words, a sin, I cannot really bless you for it. (IV:251)

Youve got to see things more the way they are in the Spirit!
You cant look at it in the flesh, but you need to see it in the Spirit! The Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and
they are life!
If you look at the flesh, youll just reap the same fruits, the same familiarity, the same death that you reap from any type of
fleshly relatives. The only thing that brings life is the Spirit, and thats why youve got to look at things and people in the
Spirit, and see them with the eyes of the Spirit. (IV:256)

If folks dont have the Spirit of My Words in their hearts, if they dont focus on that most essential ingredient of life, then it
becomes just another carnal fake of the Real Thing.
The flesh falls short. The spirit may indeed be willing, but the flesh is weak.
The Devil has his ideology that he wants to spread... his ideology of the flesh: mans own greatness and achievements and
glory. Mine is that of the Spirit: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord, and you will have to be My
vessels and instruments to prove that the Spirit in the long run is indeed superior.
Isnt it good to know that you dont have to do it in your own strength? In fact, thats why I delight in using weak vessels:
the ideal kind of person to show and prove exactly that point, that its not in the flesh, nor in any shape or form of physical
ability. The only thing thats going to do it and cut the cake is going to be the Spirit.
He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24). You who hear and believe My Word have passed from the death of this life on
to the real life, life that never dies, the kind of life that only My Spirit brings, while all the flesh brings in the long run is
decay and corruption.
The Spirit Life is the Real Thing. The flesh is only a poor counterfeit, and more like death in comparison. (IV:257)

The way of the majority, the way of the flesh, is the way of Cain, and the path of the minority and of the spirit is that of
Abel
404
Your job is to contribute in helping the undecided to choose their path from among the two. - Either Mine or that of the vast
majority of those who follow the flesh, the ego, the way of self in many aspects, the way of Satan himself. (IV:265)

Let all those super-honchos do it in the strength of their own arm of the flesh and their own wit, and let them show off just
how great they think they are
That is the way of the world, and I congratulate you for having chosen not to want to be a part of it. (IV:280)

You either serve the flesh, and pay with the exhaustion of the flesh, or you serve the Spirit and reap Her benefits (IV:286)

Whenever I have a candidate who stands a chance at learning that lesson and place their confidence in Me, instead of any
of those other factors, I keep after them, and try to get them to really dig it. - Which explains why I have to bluntly allow you
to reap the results of your failures.
This lesson is way too important and valuable than to just allow you to skip it.
Its another issue and episode along the lines of flesh or spirit?
Im trying to tear your focus away from physical conditions, attributes, circumstances and objects, and get you to put it on
the spiritual, namely Me. (IV:296)

It all boils down to a lesson on flesh or spirit: Is all you ever put your faith, trust and confidence in your own flesh (or
someone elses), or do you place all youve got on something higher, greater, though presently invisible to you?
Satan is trying to make you feel bad about what youve got by making you focus on all their glory in the flesh, their playing
kings and gods in the here and now.
The type of people who say, Love doesnt put food on the table, or faith doesnt pay your bills, etc., are saying in
essence, The only thing I can trust in to help me survive is my own flesh, my own efforts (IV:298)

The devil could in many ways be called the god of the flesh, while I and the Father would rather advocate the way of the
Spirit.
After all, the Spirit is where all things physical come from, its the original Realm. Satan knows that in the Spirit Realm he
will never be no.1 and so he puts his cards and all hes got on this physical world (IV:305)

Its always easier to strive for success in the flesh than to seek the true success of the Spirit, against which the flesh
rebels and strives. (IV:311)

Often only the end of the way will reveal it. That end for many is death, but you have an opportunity right here to evaluate
your life and what youve been doing with it so far, and what you have really been investing in, and you can tell that you
have not always been as wise an investor as you would have liked to be.
In so many aspects, you have sown to the flesh and are now reaping the destruction of the flesh.
A relationship that is sown and born in spirit is usually one that lasts. But one that is ridden with selfish carnal desires and
manipulations is bound to self-destruct sooner or later. (IV:315)

Dont make the mistake of thinking that theres going to be any move of the flesh you can possibly make thats going to
help you save yourself! Salvation is of the Lord! (IV:316)

People who live completely enwrapped in this world dont appreciate wealth or riches any other than those values that
theyve known all their lives They cant see your soul, all they are capable of seeing is what you constitute in the
physical Theyre not interested in the spirit at all, because all they ever invest in is the flesh, the material, the physical
(IV:335)

Youre beginning to realize just how weak your faith was in your spiritual alliances, compared to how much trust you put in
the flesh and circumstances, all of which turned out to have been only temporal, not lasting, not a steady, constant and
unfailing help in trouble like I am.
Its time you recognize My advantages over any earthly ally you can have! Its time you realize that it pays to trust in Me.
(IV:336)

It behooves you to retreat into prayer and the safety of My wings, instead of trying to be your own savior. Only I can really
show you a safe way out, and it would definitely pay off for you to put your trust in Me, instead of your own arm of the
flesh. (IV:348)

The enemy has his ways of making the temporal seem like eternity itself, and like the only reality. Faith is the still small
voice of spiritual reasoning that causes you to take all that hype about the there and now with a grain of salt. (IV:354)

Another great lesson on the futility of the flesh and any of its efforts to create something as miraculous as a well-
functioning love relationship between two human beings: its unprofitable, since love genuine love is not something
that can be created from mere flesh, just as life and spirit and intelligence can not spring forth from lifeless matter. The
efforts to do so result in weakening disappointments. (IV:358)

You cannot finish something in the flesh that I have started in the Spirit. In other words, youve got to desperately make
sure you stay attuned to My Spirit. You cannot allow it to just become a poor carnal counterfeit of the original, spiritual
405
vision! (IV:374)

There's got to be the right kind of balance in life between the spiritual and physical things, and you can't put too much
weight or emphasis on either end of the scale.
You're finding out the proper interpretation of that verse: "It is the spirit that brings life, the flesh profits nothing:" You
must interpret the things I say in a spiritual, not a carnal way. (IV:392)

The flesh profiteth nothing, its only the spirit that truly makes alive! What good is all the energy of the flesh without the
spirit that gives its life any meaning and true purpose?
Your strength is not in or of the flesh, but in and of the spirit. That is what makes you different, and it is also what will make
the difference in the long run. The strength of the flesh that they have may look superior to yours now, but it will run and
peter out, and I prophesy that yours will outlast theirs.
If you have no strength, then it is because you have neglected the Source of your strength, which is My Spirit. (IV:402)

The spirit can do things for you that the flesh never could. (IV:410)

Are you going to try to continue by self efforts a work that was born of My Spirit?
Of course, the whole world around you screams into your ears, Flesh! Flesh! Flesh! and the devil, too: Youve got to do
it in the flesh! Only your own arm of the flesh will save you, etc. That is the temptation. But are you going to give in to it
and shift your trust from Me to your own strength?
So youre checking out all the different possibilities of how you can make greater resources available, including all that
you have at your disposal in the flesh Thats natural. But dont you think that in the end youre going to find out again
that My strength is made perfect in weakness, that when youre weak your strong, and that My weakness, those who serve
Me and appear to be weak before the world, will yet turn out to be greater than all human and carnal strength combined?
In other words, where is your trust? - In the flesh or in the spirit? Which one do you really think is more capable? (IV:411)

The older people get, and the weaker their flesh becomes, the less they seem to believe that I can still use them, as if My
using them had anything to do with the strength of their flesh at all.
I am the One Who said the flesh profits nothing (Jn.6:63), so Im also going to be the One proving My point. By using
someone whose strength in the flesh has worn down to a fraction of what it used to be, I show that the kind of people I
choose are not the strong, but the weak and the dependent on Me, that no flesh should glory in My Presence. (IV:420)

Its not so much about how good you look, how fit you are physically, etc., but what really counts is your spiritual fitness
and strength of character. (IV:435)

You can choose to be free through the Words that I give you and of which I said that they are spirit and life and that they
should make you free.
There is the realm of the flesh from which comes no true life. You have to realize that the true life is not this material
existence they put all their emphasis on and invest all their energies in, but the eternal life that I give you. The flesh profits
or avails nothing in the long run. All it accomplishes in the final analysis is decay. To create lasting life is something only I
can do, and thats the difference.
While you may be subject to the same physical ills and plight as they, what will make the difference in the long run, is the
spirit. So, yes, they are more successful when it comes to things physical. But thats no wonder, since thats what they
invest all their time and energy in.
All youve got is the spirit. What they might call thin air, or even nothing. But havent I told you that Im about to prove
to the world that My nothingness is greater than all they can rig up in millennia of world history? (IV:446)

It is that truth that will make you free, not an organization nor any conglomeration of people, for flesh will only avail to so
much and in the long run profits nothing, and all that truly remains and brings life that will last is the spirit.
That is the ultimate conclusion and bottom line of this whole lesson on flesh vs. spirit: the flesh is temporal and thus
bound to cease: its destined to die, and thus, in the long run, and from an eternal viewpoint, good for nothing. The spirit is
eternal, and that makes all the difference in the world.
Of course, you cannot neglect the physical completely, just as I did not neglect to eat and to drink and sleep and take care
of My physical needs when I was on earth, and these, along with many more pleasures continue on in the Spirit World; but
what matters is the emphasis on the eternal, to do everything that you do for the glory of God, for an eternal purpose, not
just for the short-term, present and temporal purpose. (IV:462)

I like to make things much easier for people and deliver them from the hard, tedious way and road of slavery and servitude
to the devil and the carnal ties of the flesh. (IV:482)

Your desired trophy is of another kind than the golden calves that people in the world chase after: its not made with
hands, nor is it something that can be consumed with the flesh Its that spiritual ingredient that really adds the magic
spark to life that makes it worth living to begin with. It puts you on the right path. (IV:516)

Your flesh would prefer to put Me in what it considers My rightful place, somewhere in the queue behind all its efforts to
provide for you, and its desires to be self-sufficient, independent, and in a position where there would be no need for this
Stranger to intrude and mess things up. (IV:518)
406
Only the Spirit has the pure medicine and ointment and balm that can heal wounded spirits and hearts; its the only
ingredient that truly brings life. Anything the flesh has to offer will turn out to be not good in the end. The only hope the
flesh has in order to ever turn out to be any good in the long run, is to yield to the Spirit.
Only the Spirit gives life to the flesh that makes any carnal, physical existence worth living. (IV:520)

The power of thought and spirit and choice is supreme, and thats why I like to get you to focus on that more than the
flesh, more than what you can do in the physical; I want you to focus on the power of the spirit you possess and consider
this your greatest forte, your greatest asset. (IV:535)

The world is the combined ideology of billions of people who live nearly exclusively in the flesh, dreadfully neglecting their
eternal spirits, the only part of them that's going to last beyond their carnal shell. It's the philosophy of self-preservation
instead of sacrifice, of self-aggrandizement instead of humility, taking instead of giving. (2011:1)

Eventually, everyone will get to that threshold where they wont be able to continue to rely on their own flesh, because it
will simply fade away. Giving up some of that confidence in the flesh may seem and look dumb to others, but isnt it really
the smartest thing you can do, if you think ahead, to prepare you for whats coming, eventually and inevitably?
Flesh fades. Only the Spirit will last. So, the more you invest in the Spirit, the more you invest in lasting values. It is then
that you put your money on the proper account; the one not subject to inflations and crises that are attached to everything
that is temporal. (2011:7)

By flowing with the moves I bring along in your life and allowing Me to bring them, you open yourself wide for My Spirit.
Doesnt all of this convey to you a much greater assurance that I truly am in control of your life than when you try to
control every facet of it yourself? (2011:14)

What do you think is more important: physical comfort, or the spiritual one that determines spiritual life and well-being?
(2011:17)

Its essential to have a relationship that glorifies Me, one that you can tell that Im really in it, one in which My Presence is a
given and in which you can see Me in each other, and you can tell its Me doing it all for you, and its not a thing of the
flesh. (2011:29)

The physically poor are often the spiritually rich, and vice versa... (2011:37)

Finding your dream ultimately may resemble something different than what your flesh would have envisioned or chosen or
made out of it
The flesh wants for itself a road that takes it up, when the true path of happiness, which comes from laying down your life
for others is a path that will lead you downward. (2011:47)

If it all comes down to it, its really one of the most important points Im trying to make throughout the Bible, ever since
Cain and Abel: anything you can do in the flesh is not as important as that spiritual task of nourishing your soul and spirit
with input from Me! Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God Labor
not for the meat which perisheth, etc.
The carnal human tendency is to assume that all things will continue as they are and as theyve always been. But the bitter
truth is, they wont.
One thing is needful in order for you to survive, and its not all those things your flesh, your carnal reasoning, your rational
mind or the world are telling you to do!
Ive been telling you the same thing, basically, so many times, but still it always leads you back to that long and winding
road of trying to do it in the flesh, thinking its gotta be you and your own carnal efforts and wisdom so you can pat
yourself on the back (2011:49)

Faith will make a difference and contrary to those natural actually, carnal instincts: Go for the invisible!
You will sooner or later realize and come to the conclusion that what youre really looking for isnt found anywhere among
all that stuff in the material realm, so you might as well quit wasting your time and invest it where it really matters, and
youre bound to be more successful in your quest! (2011:50)

So youre getting tired of the flesh at times. Thats why Im saying, avail yourself of My Spirit, which is going to make
things so much easier. Pray down some of My strength and glory to help you make it through your day without every move
becoming an agony.
Commit the things that tire you and are too much for you to handle to Me and let Me take care of them! (2011:57)

My Word on that has never changed: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm; and blessed is he
that puts his trust in the Lord (Jer.17:5,7). Youre only going to be well off if youre going to put your trust in Me instead of
man. (2011:58)

While carnal ambition would definitely be the wrong motivation for such extraordinary achievements, there is such a thing
as divine ambition; the thing that Paul put in these words: The love of Christ constrains me, or Luther: Here I stand, I
407
can do no other! In other words, Ive just got to do this! Theres a divine urge that compels me to (2011:72)

The flesh wants immediate results and gratification, but thats just not how it works in a life of faith! Youve got to keep
doing some things and sowing some seeds without immediately visible results and continue by faith that its going to pay
off somehow in the long run. (2011:87)

This is the feeding and grooming of your spirit, which will determine your fruitfulness with people, for without My input
you wont have much to give them.
Its the one thing that makes you different from the vast majority and masses of people who trust and rely only on
themselves or what they can see; basically, the flesh, instead of the spirit, which is My Realm. (2011:88)

Youre still preoccupied with your immediate concerns, based on input and pressure you receive from physical factors
around you, while the input you receive from Me is more of a spiritual nature, because I want your approach and attitude to
become a more spiritual one. (2011:92)

True strength comes from weathering the storms and difficulties you are bound to encounter especially during the later
years in life, when you will also learn to not face them in your own, diminishing physical strength, but will rely more on
Mine to support and sustain you.
I measure strength true strength in a different way than carnal minded people do, just as My idea of success differs
from theirs. (2011:103)

What do you think is more important to Me, the achievements of your own more or less carnal efforts, or your availing
yourself of My power through prayer in order to achieve things you never could in your own strength and wisdom?
As long as youre surrounded by voices who claim to have the answers, it becomes more difficult, and their efforts spur
you on to do the same they do: to literally save and ensure your own survival in your own efforts of the flesh. (2011:110)

The grace to do the works does not hinge on anything you can work up in the flesh; only the position of your heart, and to
accept Me and what I am doing in your life. (2011:112)

There's a lot of interference of will power with Mine, and it's your job to keep on My course, the course of faith versus
that of rational reasoning - aka "the way of all flesh." (2011:125)

The flesh will always entice you to seek and do that which is better, easier and more comfortable for you, personally, but
the prerogative for being a fighter for My Cause has always been to seek that which is best for the Kingdom, not just
yourself. (2011:141)

People like to believe that the flesh manages to rig things up on its own. They like to believe - or at least have others
believe - that evolution, the natural course of things as they perceive it, has a way of automatically improving things for
them.
Just about everyone around you goes by the carnal formula, and its human nature to feel the urge to adapt to human
nature. While people put their faith in evolution and doing what comes natural, Im asking you to jump out of that pattern.
My Words are the factor that makes you special, makes you excel and rise above the rest of the crowd, even if not in an
obvious or evident way, nor in a way that the average carnal mind would consider exuberant. (2011:144)

Wondering and worrying about your own significance in My plan is more of a hindrance than a help, an incentive for trying
to do it in the flesh and for the wrong motivation. (2012:8)

The act of believing grants you eternal life, thus prolonging your life in a way that no effort of the flesh ever could. (2012:15)

In order to get to truly cherish the ways of the Spirit, youve first got to get your belly-full of the ways of the flesh and get a
glimpse of where those ways lead: the greed, the selfishness, the egotism, the lack of love the dishonesty it uses to
advance its own cause and purposes
Only once you fully recognize that and become really fed up with it do you whole-heartedly seek the alternative, My ways,
the ways of the Spirit the totally different way.
Youre beginning to catch a glimpse that those two ways diametrically oppose each other.
Thats why aging is such an important process: Its My way of forcing you to let go of the illusions of the flesh of its own
grandeur, power and durability. (2012:18)

The spirit is so much superior to the flesh and physical circumstances. Its truly victory of mind over matter if your mind
is powered by My input and stays focused on Me. (2012:35)

Im trying to teach you not to go by your physical senses as much, as I want you to learn to use and apply your spiritual
ones.
The civilized world has attained a state in which it manages to maintain a standard of outward cleanliness that is
unprecedented in history, but when it comes to spiritual hygiene, they dont have much of a clue.
If youre looking for something good, for the pure and worthwhile in people, dont go so much by your physical senses,
nor be too quick to let your rational mind reject what you hear and see by its own standards, but tune into Mine more.
408
If anything, this whole situation and lesson should teach you to make a greater effort to see with My eyes, hear as I hear,
and not make judgments based on your own, carnal perception.
Those people who keep preaching cleanliness is godliness may be right in certain aspects, but there are a lot of clean-
freaks out there, physically, who, when it comes to the spiritual side of things, are downright disgustingly filthy in My eyes.
So, ask Me whether its more important in My eyes to keep clean physically or spiritually.
Fact is that not everybody has the energy to keep clean on a physical level, the way others do, and some dont even have
the means, but theyre humbler, more peaceable and in many cases simply more human than those well-polished people in
high establishments.
Sometimes all that outward cleanliness is just a cover-up for all the filth thats inside, and you can tell from My Word that
Ive always put greater emphasis on the inward; things like Its not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but
what comes out of his mouth.
Its true that cleanliness has its place, but first of all, as far as Im concerned, comes the spiritual state of a person the
soul.
Once that is clean and in order, the brilliance of that state will shine through into their physical appearance as well, but
turning it around and trying to put the physical first isnt going to work. (2012:48)

Youve got to remember that your Home-frequency is not the one of this world, and youve got to strive to find It and stay
on It once you do. Its got to become more important to you than anything you perceive with your five physical senses.
If youre in tune with My eternal, true Mother World, then you can rely on My greater Control over everything, including
your physical circumstances, able to alter or adjust them at any time, and definitely minimize their effect and impact on
you. (2012:52)

Artificial, made-by-the-efforts-of-the-flesh types of boost for the ego are like an addiction that it would do good to kick,
even if one may suffer from withdrawals, initially. (2012:75)

When I talk about the relative unimportance of physical achievements Im not saying that I dont want you to accomplish or
achieve anything at all; Im just saying that spiritual achievements, those you make happen via prayer and the other
weapons of the Spirit, are more important.
Wanting to accomplish visible things in the physical realm with your own hands is, in a way, the cheap and easy way out,
the cop out from the real challenge of life: accomplishing lasting and eternal achievements by means of spiritual tools and
applying divine help in cooperation with your Creator, not showing off just how wonderfully independent you can
manage to get by without them. In other words, working with them, instead of in some sort of state of rebellion against
them, like most people, unfortunately.
If its going to be a work of My Spirit, how could it begin in the flesh, or be based on efforts of the flesh, entirely? (2012:77)

Its always in My interest to get you to shift your faith from your own strength and capacities, your arm of the flesh and
what you can do, to the stuff I can do and want to do for you, if youll give Me a chance, and youre not too busy trying to
rig it all up by yourself (2012:86)

Perhaps youre ready for the life of faith now, that your flesh is becoming more weary, and youve got to experience the
pros and cons of both. (2012:87)

Why I keep harping on the superiority of the Spirit over the flesh? Because it simply is superior, and Im desperately trying
to get you to avail yourself of it more and break out of those fleshly confines, limitations and shells. (2012:88)

There are greater powers to avail yourself of than mere carnal power, and greater thrills than those of carnal
accomplishment.
Use Spirit Power to rise above the limitations of the flesh and what it can accomplish, and youll also experience greater
thrills than the flesh could ever provide.
Leaning on your own strength and wit is okay for a time just like growing up but eventually it becomes comparable to
childs play. You can do better than that, and greater stuff. (2012:100)

Its not that youll stop evil by overcoming and rising above, but you wont be affected negatively by it yourself. It wont
faze you or harm your spirit, even if it may affect you physically. Dont let it harden your heart and spirit, even if its hard to
resist the initial temptation to do what comes natural. The goal is, not to allow it to affect you on the inside, to become
spiritually invulnerable to all hurtful and thoughtless, careless things. (2012:107)

The flesh wants to make sure it can rely on itself.

What it means to say is, Allow me to continue to save myself!
The way of the flesh is the way of Cain. (2012:110)

The lie, and all that goes with it, is more comfortable, more appealing to the flesh, more attractive, desirable and
tempting (2012:113)

Isnt that the mode and vibe of Cain, of trusting in and relying on the works of your own flesh, rather than letting My grace
do most of the work through you, for you and in you?
Your flesh keeps egging you on to take advantage of your gifts and talents while you can; show off what youve got
409
And in a way, thats true, but for what purpose and to glorify who or what?
If you can glorify God in what youre doing, then thats great, but if you cant, what good is it?
Is it going to be Cains way, or Abels? - Flesh or Spirit? - Works or grace? (2012:117)

Prayer is an action that the flesh cant cash in much credit for, so it will urge you to do something else instead, even if that
turns out to be one grand waste of time. Prayer is an action of the spirit, which the flesh regards as its enemy or opponent,
its competitor.
Just like the one who rules the carnal and physical realm temporarily, it doesnt want to yield to the spirit and regard it as
its superior. It rebels and struggles against it.
Thats why prayer isnt popular with the flesh and among carnal minded people. (2012:122)

Why not really learn to let the Spirit go to work for you, instead of continuing to rely on the same old arm of the flesh?
(2012:127)

Thats one of the vast differences between My Realm and the physical: As much as there is to know and learn about this
physical world, that knowledge is finite, and will come to an end; whereas all there is to know about Me and My Realm, the
Spirit World, is endless infinite.
My Realm appeals to those who perceive, live and learn with more than just their carnal minds, those who have their spirits
activated and know intuitively that their existence goes beyond the finite. (2012:128)

Fleshly, carnal and physical energy of youth is temporal, and therefore not really much more than an illusion in the scope
of eternity, whereas My Power is what really can keep you going strong forever. In other words, My strength is real
strength; much more real than what you used to rely on in your fitter years.
Being strong in yourself feeds you the illusion that you can make it without Me. Feeling weak and worn out reminds you of
the reality of the limits and finite nature of your strength, and thus leads you to the only one true Source of infinite energy
there is
Im the Factor that can keep you forever young, and when you keep that in mind, those are the times you feel inspired and
fit, because you know that carnal strength is only an illusion, whereas you truly have a reason to rejoice because you
know how to tap into the never-ending Source of energy and strength, and eternal youth.
Its not a matter of luck whether one feels fit in their older years or not. Sure, whether they took good care of their body
plays a role in it and has a significant impact, but not as significant as the impact My Spirit can have on you, if you tune in
to Her and avail yourself of Her on a regular basis. What Im saying is that this is even more important to keep fit than
merely keeping fit physically. (2012:150)

Gods wisdom largely remains a mystery until the whole plan unfolds in its full perfection, impossible to grasp for those
with carnal minds on purely egocentric wavelengths (2012:154)

Its going to take you a little while longer to see things the same way I do.
I admit its a lot quieter, lowlier and humbler than the rah-rah the flesh hopes for itself. (2012:156)

The One you can count on, though not tangible, not of flesh and blood, is I.
The Love of your life should be a spiritual Entity, a Spirit.
It brought not much more than leanness to your soul to have put so much hope and trust for your personal happiness and
fulfillment in mere flesh and blood.
The lesson is that youve been expecting a bit too much from physical relationships, or at least youve been giving them a place of
significance in your life that they couldnt realistically fill not without truly having learned the significance of My role in this
matter.
You still define yourself more by who you are as of an earthly family, a husband and a father of children, than you do as a bride of
Mine.
Id like to change that sense of priority a little bit, because, trust Me, from a spiritual viewpoint, that would be the more correct and
appropriate way to have it, the true and divine order of things.
Trust Me that in the future youd much rather be known to have been My partner; and because thats not the case yet, your
relationship also isnt quite what it should be like yet. (2012:162)

What Im building in you is strength eternal. Its what the entire theme of flesh vs. spirit is all about. No flesh shall glory in
His Presence.
Its not enough to have found a place to fulfill yourself physically, since youre a spiritual being, too. Flesh can satisfy
flesh, but only spirit can satisfy spirit. (2012:174)

Put spiritual things first, which is quite a challenge, I admit, but thats why I use the tactic of disenchanting you with the
physical, little by little, so you learn to appreciate the eternal and spiritual more and thus will lend greater emphasis to the
things that will last.
For spiritual beings, and such is any child of God, life becomes unbearable in the long run if they dont seek their
inspiration, their lives breath and incentive to keep going, from the true, living Source of all things, instead of their
physical, temporal counterparts.
Become someone who puts the emphasis, and bases the criteria around which life revolves, on the Spirit! (2012:183)

You cant just reflect the physical input youre getting from your surroundings, but you must dig deeper than that and
410
share something that comes from within, because Ive put it there.
Its true that the flesh will continue to urge and egg you on to play the game of self-preservation and self-proclamation, but
youve simply got to make that effort to resist it, not to give in to it, and refuse to play that game.
The way that seems right to man and leads to destruction is that way of self-preservation. He thinks hes saving his life,
adding to it, when actually hes losing out. The only way to truly win in the long run is love. (2012:185)

Someone who consumes the spiritual food that I give is always better off in the long run than someone taking care of their
physical existence to the nth degree while totally neglecting their spiritual needs. The body without spirit is dead, and yet
all the while they only feed their bodies, never their spirits, which means, theyre basically just feeding and maintaining
their hollow shells, neglecting the more important and essential part that would really constitute life by My definition.
The message is all over My Word, and yet so many completely fail to see it and get the point. Theyre too involved and
occupied with the here and now and the physical part of their existence to even pay attention to what I was really saying
Theyre so busy trying to preserve what they cant keep in the first place that they dont even realize theyre losing the one
thing they should really make an effort to guard and shelter from the attacks of evil from all sides being hurled at it: their
soul.
Blessed is he who wont lose his own soul in all his efforts to keep its shell alive. Blessed are they who wont have
neglected the eternal part of their being instead of investing all their energies in the maintenance of its temporal encasing
that is programmed to fade away like the flowers in the field
Their buildings are physical statues and proclamation of their error: empty, hollow and temporal encasements, lacking the
ingredient that brings true life. Its all about the physical. And you can see right where you are (where buildings are being
torn down on your left and right just so they can erect newer and taller ones) how finite those memorials to their earthly
efforts are
What matters in the end is not how well youve taken care of your outer shell, but how well you kept and fed whats inside.
People should be a lot more concerned about not letting their souls die, instead of spending their days in nothing but
feverish striving to keep their bodies alive
Get ready for the event of leaving that hollow shell behind (2013:1)

To put your trust in human flesh is a curse in itself, bound to end in a disappointing mess.
Those who put their trust in the arm of flesh, whether it be their own or anyone elses, are unfortunately bound for
disappointment.
its always easier for the flesh to show gratitude and loyalty toward the flesh, or a carnal, self-oriented cause, than a
spiritual one, especially the one true spiritual path, which is the one most alien to the flesh, most opposed to it and its
ways. (2013:15)

Your children need more than the person you are in the flesh. They need someone guided by and filled with My Spirit.
Otherwise things are just bound to unravel somehow sooner or later.
Others may be allowed to operate solely in their own fleshly efforts, but youve got too much up against you in the spirit.
You could never make it without My help, thats why its so important for you to avail yourself of it on a pretty much
constant basis.
Be more prayerful in general, so you wont slip into flesh-mode all too quickly and easily. Try to shoot for staying in Spirit-
mode more of the time! Youll see what a difference it will make in your life. Find out how much walking in the Spirit beats
merely walking in the flesh! Its like, Why walk when you can fly? (2013:20)

Ive got to be your strength and what you rely on, otherwise youll be just as sunk as anyone else who puts their trust in
the flesh. (2013:21)

I am and want to be and to exert control over your life to a greater extent. Its a struggle to resist that writhing of the flesh
for control, that temptation and desperate grasping for any kind of self-salvation, and yield to My beckoning of handing all
that over to Me.
Youve acknowledged that it was a miracle of My hand that gave you a job in the first place. Now why did you think that
youve had to make the effort to keep it in your own strength and efforts, depending on the flesh much more again than on
Me and My Spirit?
Trying to impress folks with your abilities and skills, rather than leaving a life-giving impression that comes from My
Spirit? Why cant you let Me go to work in and through you more? Why do you always resort to the way of the flesh again?
I didnt have anything to boast of that I did, or created, or was, in the flesh. All I had was the supernatural manifestations of
the Fathers Spirit through the miracles I did, which glorified Him, and you should try the same!
Time is too short to be spending it struggling along in the arm of the flesh. (2013:22)

Learning to tap in to My heavenly resources is the key to life lived to the full. Whats the alternative? Trying to do it all in
the flesh - So much more tedious, exhausting, strenuous
How foolish to neglect the greatest opportunity ever given to man, to tap into the very Power of God, when its so close?
Always falling back into the gear of relying on the flesh, on oneself to do it, when Im at the Master Controls of just about
everything, and youve got a connection, a switch, to use those controls! (2013:31)

When it comes to spiritual matters and making headway in the spirit, progress is often brought along by what may seem
like setbacks in the physical, like the day of rest and not doing much else than spend time with Me. While your flesh may
rebel against the idea and feel hopelessly and frustratingly useless, when it comes to the spirit, spending time with Me is
411
still the single best thing you could possibly ever do, and is never time wasted. (2013:49)

I understand how hard it is for you physical beings to put the spiritual first, but Im working on bringing the spiritual beings
out in you, because, from My point of view, thats what you are, primarily.
The physical has its place, too, but the fruit I was talking about, after all, is spiritual. And just as the great merger of those
two realms is still ahead of you, lets just say youre all still in the making.
While you are a physical being, youre a spiritual one, also, and you shouldnt neglect the spiritual things, matters and
ingredients of life.
All of life is pretty much a test to see whether youll give in to the claims of all things physical that theyre paramount, or
youll make an effort to seek the spiritual, and thus, the fruit that remains. (2013:56)

The mindset of faith isnt the one that comes naturally to the carnal mind. Thats why it takes some overcoming to get
there. Some efforts that need to be made. It cant be done in the flesh, but you have to reach out that hand of faith and
receive from Me the portion of My Spirit necessary to make it through your days victoriously, cheerfully, joyfully and
gratefully, trusting that My Power in you is greater than any adverse circumstances you may encounter. Youll simply know
if you let My Spirit reign supreme in you, instead of the circumstances. (2013:58)

Letting Me become the paramount Object of your focus and attention isnt exactly easy when your flesh is egging you on
to do whatever it deems you should do on a daily basis in order to keep it alive and prospering and enjoying all it likes to
have, although you know yourself that those things arent always necessarily good for it.
People hardly ever know what is truly good, much less the best for them. Its because the flesh is driven by desires, and if
you let them scream louder than the hunger of your soul, they can drown it and its needs out, and thats how oodles of
people wind up neglecting their souls and spiritual needs.
Are you smart enough to do differently? To really let the whims of the flesh fade into the background far enough so you
can give Me the full amount of time and devotion it would take for us to enjoy a blooming and blossoming relationship, one
that results in fruit that remains? (2013:59)

It takes a strong effort not to yield to the temptation to allow the affairs of this life to swallow up every bit of your time,
instead of wasting it on a God the flesh doesnt deem good for anything, when it considers itself so much more reliable
And the more you become involved in the efforts of your flesh to make yourself prosper and advance, the harder it
becomes to even remember Me All until things start going wrong, and no matter what grandiose efforts the flesh
makes, the situation still doesnt seem to improve, but gets worse instead, and you suddenly remember Whos in charge,
and Whom youve neglected (2013:62)

A visible world on foundations of untruth makes it easier to accept and believe for the carnal mind than My truth, which
can only be perceived by faith, with nothing much in the visible realm to back it up.
If you let Me and the amount of My affairs, My Presence and all that concerns Me, increase in your life, and allow your own
carnal ambitions, desires and preoccupations to decrease, it means youre building your house on a firm foundation that
will outlast the temporal realm, and on sure and safe ground. (2013:69)

You know from My Word that things arent going to get better, even if certain improvements to the surface are being made
in some places.
But fixing up the outside and appearance doesnt solve any of the remaining problems on the inside, which are largely
being ignored; and what it all amounts to is a faade, a fake and a farce, only to be recognized by those who look beyond
the surface and those who see with their spiritual eyes. (2013:70)

Human nature strives against the divine nature and the Spirit the carnal man is at enmity with God. (2013:84)

Its hard to look at your own flesh full of flaws, and wondering how in the world anyone could love that, when youre such a
seeker of perfection. And then you see others who are even worse, and the outrage will hardly ever stop (2013:105)

The best maintenance you can give your body, is taking the time to communicate with Me for some spiritual cleansing.
Without the spirit, the body is dead, and the best way to keep your body alive and well-functioning is to make sure that
your spirit is being recharged regularly.
Of all your various maintenance tasks, this is the most important.
From this you can see why the carnal mind is at enmity with God: It constantly downplays the importance of the spiritual
and overemphasizes the importance of your physical responsibilities in your mind, claiming that they have priority over
the spirit, which is basically the opposite of what I said, that its the spirit that gives life, whereas the flesh profits not much
of anything in the end.
The carnal mind tries to convince you that its the flesh and its efforts that sustain you, but I say, nay, its the spirit.
Just because the results of carnal efforts can be seen more easily doesnt mean theyre better, greater or more important
than the spiritual. (2013:115)

The less there is of you, your own sources of power, light and energy, the more My light shines through! In other words,
the loss of physical power can serve as a reminder and motivator for you to avail yourself of a much greater power than all
the physical has to offer. (2013:120)
412
For many, the fleshly and carnal existence may seem more important, or even the only one they believe in, but you ought
to know differently and prepare a bit more for whats to come!
Dont let physical occurrences weaken you as much, as youre supposed to learn that I and your usage of My power are
above them. Yes, they may be weakening the flesh; but remember When Im weak then Im strong, because physical
weakness is going to strengthen spiritual strength!
Physical weakness is still tough for you to accept; but remember that the experience will raise your spiritual strength,
which, in the end youll realize is more important and permanent. It all depends a little bit on which you dedicate your
strength and attention: the physical and carnal, or the spiritual and eternal. Where do you put most of your faith in? (2014:2)

I could have given you larger protection if you had asked Me for it and depended on Me for it with a more prayerful attitude,
instead of clinging mostly to your own flesh.
Im just trying to get you to trust in Me more, which in the future ahead is better than to trust in yourself and own strength
or wisdom
Flesh or Spirit, that is the question Putting your faith and trust in the flesh cant be the right answer or path
If youve done wrong in the flesh youll be corrected by the Spirit, if youve taken and received Her; especially if Shes
expecting you to make something better and more fruitful out of your life! (2014:7)

Sometimes the only way to point out the higher value of spirit is when the flesh experiences a downfall.
Of course, when you have a carnal talent and other strengths from the flesh, its easier to trust in those. But when theyre
weakened, youre more prone to focus on, or turn to the Spirit again.
Come and turn to the Spirit again is My call and beckoning. Its a lack of faith to just focus on what the flesh has to offer.
Its shortened and eventually extinguished by time; and only looking at the Spirit by faith can keep you on My way and
Eternity.
If you want to go the right way, you have to keep the spiritual values on the top of your path and heart. (2014:8)

Youll be able to tell, that including Me more in your life, and all these spiritual things, is more important than physical and
worldly things, and will bring a greater value to it all again.
Many people put too much emphasis and importance on the physical things, largely or many times ignoring the spiritual
world and final shape they all turn into (2014:9)

Stay in tune and contact with Me! Its more important than things you care about in the physical.
Learning to tune in to Me more is going to do you good, pull you closer to Me and put the right emphasis on the spiritual
things, more than physical factors that trouble you. (2014:15)

Maybe right now pretty much everything seems to be tougher and harder for you, but at least you wont continue trusting
in your own flesh as much, which wasnt always the right kind or positive spirit, as far as Im concerned.
Anything to cause you to let the doors of your life open to allow My force and presence to enter more into your life will turn
out to be better things to happen to you than what you can rig up in your own strength (2014:16)

Once you know the weakness of the flesh and how easily its power runs out, you should be able to realize the advantage
of the Spirit. Give more attention and emphasis to It. Remember that the Spirit is greater and longer lasting than the flesh;
at least the way its shaped and formed down on earth
Keep your spirit victorious by paying less emphasis to the flesh. Spirit is more lasting and important. (2014:17)

Learn the main lesson: to grow your trust in Me, less in your own flesh and mind, and let the spiritual lessons come to
fulfill their task.
Establish the lesson that the spirit values more than the flesh After all, the spirits more lasting than the flesh; in other
words, what eternity is dedicated to and involved in or consists of much more, and lasting longer than the flesh and
physical matters (2014:20)

Its a better quality of victory when its truly Me being in miraculous charge of it, sometimes in spite of all you can do in the
flesh for it. Confiding in your own flesh to bring victory may be a mistake as your experience may indicate Whats a lot
better in the long run and the end is to confide and trust in Me instead of your own flesh
Trust in My Spirit and supernatural strength to give you lasting victory, not just the temporal ones done or fought for by
the flesh. (2014:23)

Once you know for sure you need miracles, its easier for you to keep and maintain the faith in many ways more pleasant
and rewarding than trusting in your own power of the flesh. (2014:24)

The strength of the flesh is temporary. You cant depend or rely on it as something permanent (2014:30)

Trust more in Me than your physical self or other physical circumstances

Sometimes I let the circumstances weaken a little, physically, so that you can put more of your trust in Me and your
spiritual appliance for them. (2014:31)

Become more spiritual more praying for things and accepting the spiritual laws and rules as the greater ones. Come
413
back into the Spirit! It may be a bit tougher and harder for you right now, but Just remember that in the end its the
greater option than the flesh. Even though in this world right now the greater majority may show off more greatness of the
flesh. The question is: Should you fall for that?
Even if youre presently not too enthusiastic about being less powered in the flesh than before, try to let it all work through
the power of the Spirit in you, which in the end will turn out to be more powerful! (2014:35)

The age youve reached should draw you back to a greater spiritual support and move of things Its not anymore that
your life should be all carnal and physical. The older and closer you get to the end of the physical life, the more you should
be prepared for the spiritual coming afterwards, and thus the importance of the spiritual world as well (2014:37)

Your body and flesh being at a weak point, it should be your spirit being more in charge of the battle against the enemys
forces
In other words, availing yourself with prayers against the enemys power and attacks (2014:38)

Its a good time to start a development in another, more spiritual direction.

Money is basically cheating you out of the main lessons in life, which are supposed to be the spiritual ones, instead of all
the material stuff (2014:42)

It pays to learn to move with spiritual force instead of mainly physical, even if it means and includes weakening of the
physical type Youll get over it eventually, but its good not to underestimate the spirit! (2014:56)

Making someone better, stronger and superior in the flesh, does it make them spiritually wiser?
- If they just stay dependent on their material and carnal strength? How long will that last? Using no spiritual power does
that mean, all strength?
All strength of the flesh, no spirit of wisdom what does it show? Temporal strength; and it will fail. May you keep trusting
in the spirit as a place to invest more lasting power and energy! (2014:57)

Its difficult to deal with all merely in the flesh Thats why youve got to become more used to dealing in the Spirit; and be
prepared for the other spirit gang to try to blow you down and show off how much stronger they are which might be a
good reminder to get back into training that spiritual force again youll be needing.
Keep trusting that over time youll be able to resist more of the opposition forces. (2014:68)

Try to let those things of worldly importance go down a bit! Actually, as far down as possible! And recognize the spiritual
things of the kind I give you as the more important! (2014:69)

Greed and love for money arent good things, and its better to have your life operated by spiritual values and powers
instead. Try to resist the desire for material enrichment and try to tune more to the spiritual values than this rather
physical feeling of greed. (2014:74)

Im expecting of you that the material riches dont or wont mean as much to you as the spiritual I offer and give
According to My teachings and My Word, the spiritual values are much longer-lasting than the material ones. Now, that
beliefs in spiritual values are by faith, and not as visible and touchable as money, makes them rarer, and perhaps a little
more difficult, too; but iIf you believe in life after death, then its time for you to put some action into that faith and reduce
your faith and action from what you used to put in your life for the sake of money.
If the spiritual values are worth more in the long run, isnt it time for you to put some more action into them? (2014:76)

When you become weaker in the flesh, you turn to trust in Me a bit more; and the way things are developing and bound to
develop in the Endtime, youre going to have to trust more in Me than your own capacities the way you did before. (2014:86)

When somethings wrong with your body and you have a weakness or sickness to overcome, it gets a little harder to just
trust in your flesh as you did before, and it becomes more necessary to trust in Me. (2014:88)

Entry into the Spirit World is not really something lots of folks are aware of in their materialistic scenario during their
earthly life, during which everything aims at pleasing the materialistic scene, and the spiritual aspects are largely being
avoided. (2014:89)

Once your confidence in your own flesh has grown a lot, it gets harder again to put or keep your trust in Me.
If things start getting rougher and tougher for you in some ways, cheer up that thats the way I try to raise your faith in and
dependence on Me instead of your own carnal abilities.
Im working on replacing the material importance with some of the spiritual, which one day youll be thankful that I did it,
when youll recognize its superior importance and significance yourself! (2014:91)

Folks should strengthen their spiritual parts, and not become addicted just to physical blessings
Right now you dont feel much like having great strength, but dont you think I could still strengthen you, because its
not a strength that depends on the power of the flesh, but of the spirit that I or the Father give? (2014:101)

414
If youre not any stronger in the flesh, it might mean that I want you to become stronger in the spirit, and rely more on the
Spirit the gifts of It that have been offered My followers in the Bible. (2014:103)

The spiritual guys behind the scene are the higher ones, even though they can only be perceived by faith. Its another
value of faith: to esteem and rate the spiritual world higher than ones own physical and temporal things.
There comes a time for folks to realize that faith and spiritual values like it are more valuable than the physical riches like
money. Spiritual values stay forever. Physical ones dont.
So, dont overestimate them! Remember the spiritual things and try to consider them more worthy than the physical
riches, forces and advantages. (2014:111)

Try to see things with points of view of the Spirit, and not just the way youd see things in the flesh! (2014:126)

Maybe it would be better if youd turn and put My position into a higher one than all the physical parts of your existence
and concerns about it. One of My messages was that the spirit is more important than the physical and well, one
things for sure: that the physical simply wont last forever. And if I am true and the Word about Me is, then things are
different about the Spirit. (2014:127)

Your life should result in the proper demonstration of the proper, correct values: Not the physical or materialistic bonuses
and additions, but the spiritual ones, the main value of which is love. (2014:128)

The larger greatness of unselfishness if you learn it will certify the establishment of a real lasting value of life, and a
vaster one than the usual things people often yearn and long for the material things, or growing of ones own strength
and greatness in physical things. (2014:129)

The closer you come to the transition to the Spirit World (what they call death), the better to get into the Spirit, instead of
leaning on the flesh. (2014:130)

Dont go by, or lean on your physical circumstances all that much You know now as others have found out, even
without having much or any faith in Me or the Spirit World that the physical doesnt offer much endless or everlasting to
believe in or cling to, because its temporal, and things in this physical world will be over eventually.
And if physical things will be over eventually, doesnt it encourage your faith in whats hereafter?
The Hereafter the Spirit World, trust Me, its a lot more long-lasting than the physical! (2014:134)

Appreciate the spiritual values more than the physical or material ones, because youre getting closer to that spiritual
point where youll actually live in the spirit, and things will turn out quite a bit different than theyve been in the physical
and material world (2014:136)

Sometimes, when youre in a physical gear for a certain length of time, youre so used to it, that its hard to get out of it and
concentrate on a more spiritual one, which is what you really should do when you get closer to the Spirit World, like when
you get old enough to prepare for it, or changes are coming to the world that will draw everyone closer to the end of this
physical one.
Sometimes its good to prepare for whats coming hereafter, when the physical life is over and finished, well, I and the
helpers from this larger World than the physical sometimes have to allow certain things to happen that will somehow help
to prepare folks more for the hereafter. And it happens mostly through weakening some of the physical forces putting
more strength into the spiritual. (2014:138)

If Ive been humbling you by weakening your flesh, and even your carnal cerebral power, just trust Me for it, and try to
receive that what you need or could use the best, to gain a bit more of what is more appreciated Up Here in Heaven.
(2014:139)

Physical conditions may sound more important to physical people than spiritual ones sound to spirituals. It all depends on
what you put in the first place.
Just because physical conditions are better in countries doesnt mean the spiritual are as well. Not in a world that Satan is
just about to take over! (2014:140)

Making your connection with Me and being in touch and filled and guided by My Spirit more important than the physical
and worldly things, gives your move through this life a very special touch, a very special roll, service and destiny. (2014:142)

When you can trust in Me more than yourself and your own capabilities, youre a larger bit closer to the way folks
eventually wind up in Heaven, where the flesh once trusted in has gone absent, and the Spirit Worlds way is more the
eternal way than the temporal. (2014:147)

What the world sees as something positive, namely the things that make you more proud isnt all that much more positive
in the long run, if you believe in eternity to follow in a spiritual world, and the carnal world of the flesh isnt all there is for
you. (2014:148)

415
Youre still making everything dependent a lot on how things might work out for you in this world and the present,
temporal and carnal life. Whereas it would be better and safer for you to put more trust in the spirit not whats going to or
might happen in the flesh! God is a Spirit the Word says (John 4:24), and if He is, the All-Powerful, that must mean that the
spirit couldnt be less than what youre hoping for or counting on in the flesh. (2014:150)

Look forward to your heavenly Home where I and many others are awaiting you, and all things will be so much more
worthwhile for you than anything the materialistic and fleshly world can offer!
Whats the meaning of life for you? Serving Me and seeking your Creator and His Kingdom first, or doing the same
everyone else does, and basically serving materialism, along with the lusts of the flesh? (2014:154)

The power through and of the Spirit are more fruitful and creative than ones mere strength in the flesh. Ultimately, by faith
and through a life of faith, the spirit will turn out more productive, lasting, and thus, powerful, eventually! (2014:155)

More important than your physical status and state is your spiritual one, and it depends a lot on your prayer life!
When youre physically weak, youre spiritually strong; and youre getting the point that your spiritual state is more
important and plays a vaster roll than the physical one! (2014:159)

Theres no full-fledged happiness to find, for those who are just staying in places where theyve got nothing but their
monetary and physical safety guaranteed. As Ive been telling you repeatedly: the spirit is something more important,
stronger and more lasting in the long run than the flesh and that is also where happiness will come from, and not just
keeping the flesh going and moving, along with some moves to keep their minds entertained.
Not having much to offer to the spirits of folks cant really render lasting joy and happiness to those who seek more than
just that physical act of satisfaction, filling the inside of their bodies, and enrich them with valuable stuff like houses, cars
and fancy clothes and jewels.
Its all just riches, the possession of which can give some sort of satisfaction during ones lifetime in the flesh. But My
teaching is that there is something more: a life of the spirit, which goes beyond that, and is found and perceived through
Me and receiving Me as their Saviour.
Keep on following that vision Im giving you of eternal things that last forever and wont end abruptly when the physical
life and existence is over. Its a way to go thatll have been worth it to have gone, more than the worldly, materialistic ways
that only offer gain in this life and this temporary world.
Much more important than just surviving with some fun and pleasure through some physical success: Try to aim more for
the success for Me, which is spiritual, but so much longer lasting, youll see! (2014:164)

Keep on believing in spite of negative physical circumstances! Keep remembering that the spirit is the longer lasting part,
and thus it always pays to put your trust there in the spirit, and particularly Mine and keeping in touch with the Spirit of
God. Trust Me that its vaster and mightier than what the world has Instead of looking at the world too much, look up to
Me! (2014:166)

Put the spiritual values in the first place for you, since theyre ultimately more important than financial or material gains!
(2014:167)

Its better to hold on to the supernatural than your own natural strength, as youll find out and see, for the things that are
coming up against this world arent going to be all that easy to counter with mere flesh (2014:175)

The more dependent on Me you are, and realize you are, the better. At least like this your flesh isnt the boss or chief over
your life, but youre letting Me be the Chief.
Its a good lesson to not be dependent on what you see, but to live by faith and making your life depend on Me, instead of
its physical circumstances. Make your life dependent and possible through Me, believing in Me, and not depending on the
physical circumstances! Live in Me! Try it, and trust Me that itll work out and make you happier than being dependent on
physical circumstances!
Youve received a lot of input from Me, and more than you can even handle by now. But at least it ought to give you a hint
that you can make your life dependent on Me, more than the physical circumstances, especially when the circumstances
obviously seem to be going down quite a lot.
If Ive told you before that it pays more to put your faith and trust in Me, nows the time to make that work out for you to
depend on Me, not on physical circumstances alone. (2014:177)

Having come close to experience what its like to lose your earthly life makes the spiritual things like faith, hope and love
more important, finally. (2014:183)

Trust not the world or in yourself, anything that can be seen with your physical eyes or heard with your physical ears!
Trust more in what can be received by your spiritual heart, mind and soul! Trust a little more in that, and in whats to come,
not in whats right before you!
Dont be too discouraged by the momentary weakness of your flesh, but let it bring about new strength to your spirit! Its
so much more important than what you can do in the flesh.
Youve been gathering a lot of input from Me in the Spirit before, only to jive back into your physical strength afterwards,
and going a lot by what your physical eyes and ears could hear and see.

416
Well, having come to this age, it was time to weaken your flesh and strengthen your spirit, since thats eventually what will
be left of you.
Right now you may not yet see where it all will lead you, but thats another way and key to put your trust in Me, more than
yourself or physical circumstances. If you trust and believe in the Spirit, that will eventually make you realize that you
wont have to keep relying on what you can do in the flesh entirely anymore, and youll be able to take greater advantage of
My Power of the Spirit than your own in the flesh!
After all, it must be slowly dawning on you that the flesh isnt all-powerful, but has weaknesses and ills to fight and yet,
dont you believe and have faith in something more lasting, something eternal, and therefore obviously and necessarily
spiritual?
You cant mix the flesh and the spirit in a lasting way! Eventually youll have to put that strength in the spirit, where it can
last, and thus, belongs. (2014:186)

Strength of the flesh isnt always a pure advantage. If it strengthens your confidence in yourself more than it does your
faith and confidence in Me, it may not turn out to be such a strong advantage in the end. After all what does My Word
teach to put an emphasis in: your own strength and your own mind and intelligence, or My Spirit, My mind and leadership?
(2014:187)

Things happen for folks to learn and get used to clinging to Me instead of trusting in physical things A major step toward
the spiritual side of things instead of the physical or carnal, and thus, a step closer to Me and the more lasting part of life
in the long run
As you get older, and especially with the show-up of physical hindrance, youre beginning to trust more in Me than
yourself and other physical things. (2014:190)

Quit relying on yourself or the ways of the flesh and the world to pull you through! (2014:194)

Hitch your existence on faith and trust, and theyll turn out to be worth a lot more than the material wealth this world has to
offer, in the end when those material riches will simply disappear and fade away, as if they had been an illusion all along,
while spiritual riches and wealth will finally turn out to show and prove their superiority in their eternally lasting values and
strengths theyll yield. (2014:204)

As long as physical things and circumstances run awesome, you dont need Me that much, but thats precisely why We
allow circumstances to drift out of their awesome rut, and become a bit more severe, so that you and others will
recognize their need of Us more.
You will cherish and value and appreciate those rougher times a bit more then, when youll be part of the spiritual, and not
feel like youre dependent on physics anymore.
Once you get Here youll recognize how much more valuable and precious the spiritual dimension is, compared to the
physical. (2014:205)

Youre a child of the Father, and of the Spirit as your Mother, not only your own carnal state, which might be here today,
gone tomorrow. (2015:12)

To put your trust in Me and the Father, along with Heavens aid, is definitely better for you in the long run than the trust in
yourself and your physical abilities.
Changes are coming upon this world, for which it will be better for you as a believer in Us to put your trust and confidence
in Us, instead of yourself, in order for Us to help you make it through whats coming a phase during which trust in Us will
be better than in your own abilities. So, to lean not on the flesh and your own abilities, but in Our help instead, is pretty
important concerning the future of this world. (2015:16)

If the flesh feels and seems weaker, dont perceive it as something so negative, because it means, the more youll rely on
the Spirit.
Relying on the flesh may seem okay in the beginning, but trust Me: it wont be toward the end youre getting close to.
Being more dependent on Us is always better than independence and greater dependence and confidence in the flesh.
After all, you know that the flesh wont last forever, but the spirit does, especially when youre saved. (2015:20)

To be more ready for Heaven also includes becoming more ready for spiritual action, not just physical kinds! Become
more ready for the Hereafter by using more of whats being used Here: definitely the Spirit, and not just receiving by
physical means, the flesh.
See? All that input about flesh vs. spirit has a reason. A reason and purpose of preparing you for the Hereafter! (2015:21)

Let faith become stronger, and flesh become weaker. Pursue the way of the Spirit, and youll see itll make sense, since itll
lead and guide you to what remains. Let the spirit grow, while the physical things will go down.
Dont be too discouraged if youre feeling physically weaker, but see it as a positive side and part, if the spiritual is
growing stronger, more important and effective than the flesh! Put your trust in the spirit again, and dont let it trouble you
that it cant really be down in the flesh anymore. Those days are going to be over soon. Trust in the Spirit instead,
something much more everlasting than the carnal things, which eventually will fade. Put your trust in the more lasting
things and values of the spirit!

417
If the carnal sides are going down, dont see it as something bad, but rather as something good that the spiritual side of
things goes up and becomes stronger. Choose the Spirit! Its not time to cling to the flesh! (2015:28)

Faith is greater trust in Me and the Father, instead of all the physical things around you: the System, its money, and all the
things they make you do in order to keep up your temporal existence. (2015:30)

If the flesh gets weakened, it means, its time to strengthen the spirit (2015:32)

Depend more on Me and My help, and less on your flesh and its abilities.
Its no longer your flesh that can cope with it all. Time to rely more on the Spirit!
After all, thats where youre headed, ultimately: the Spirit World a different, and trust Me: more glorious dimension, and
a much more lasting one, not just this temporal existence youre having to cope with right now.
Get into the gear of that eternal life for which I died to give it to My believers! Get into the gear of the Spirit, and come out
of that of the flesh, relying on it, when the other one is the lasting one, and the principal one you ought to get geared to.
Tune in to My Spirit, and quit relying too much on the flesh! Amen? (2015:37)

Sometimes ones got to decide whom they decide to love more: their physical marriage partner, or Me, your spiritual and
eternal Husband.
I know you need her more than Me, physically; but trust Me that spirituality is the more important dimension that you
should also put in the first place in your life by now. Its the eternal thing, versus all the temporal ones that will sooner or
later come to an end. And the more you manage to have them partake in your eternal and spiritual gear, the better it will be
for your lasting relations.
Trusting in your own flesh and physical or even mental abilities isnt necessarily the force you should make your life
depend on as a believer. Remember that its more likely the enemy to get you to trust in yourself and your own abilities
instead of Me and My help. (2015:41)

If the heavenly Spirit World becomes more important to you than the physical and temporal, thats a good sign and shows
youre preparing a bit for whats to come.
Focus on the spirit and its values, and dont get too stuck on the temporary flesh department! (2015:43)

The physical life wont last forever. And by cutting down the physical success era a bit, Im preparing you more for whats
to come.
The physical is temporal. If you want something lasting and eternal, its gotta be spiritual! Which means, visible and
touchable in another dimension, another spiritual area, but normally simply not in this physical and material and temporal
one youre in right now. (2015:49)

Its the enemys major deal to try to distract everyone from the spiritual matters and keep everyone as hooked on the
physical and material issues as much as he manages.
As long as you pay more attention to what you believe in than physical and material things, topics and standards, youll
find out itll all go definitely much better for you in the long run, and youre heading in the right direction, instead of getting
sidetracked by the enemys plentiful distractions. (2015:50)

When physically youre growing weaker, if youre attached to your heavenly helpers and Source of spiritual strength, in the
long run, you will be stronger!
If there are many weakening factors surrounding you in your earthly life right now, it means that its bound to make you
stronger in the spirit, relying on the strength from above, and thats a much more lasting one, and the necessary one for
the Hereafter.
The strength of the Spirit rises far above the mere strength of the flesh, which, after all, is only temporal.
No matter how huge or how strong, itll weaken over time and thats precisely the difference between strength of the
flesh and of the spirit: the latter one is much longer lasting!
Of course, in a world that puts all the emphasis on the flesh and the here and now, its a bit hard to invest more in the
spirit something most of them dont even believe in. But thats precisely one of the main differences that faith should
make and yield to you, and make you wind up with.
As long as the flesh keeps going okay, its hard to put more emphasis on the spirit. But right now, the state youre in,
draws you back to the spiritual roots; and trust Me, that its not a mistake! (2015:51)

Sometimes Im hoping youll get into the right, receptive spirit, and dont get too tied up in the physical, along with all its
things that keep the mind too busy to be open and receptive for Me and My input.
Now that your flesh isnt in that great, confident a state anymore as before, you should be a bit more dependent on Me
than yourself, and that has always been the power that has kept My disciples and saints going and achieving things for
Me, which youre slowly beginning to consider more important, too, than your own physical and material success in this
world. Keep that spiritual side of success on a higher basis of importance for you, and remember that its truly the lasting
one, while the physical achievements are really only a temporal and not that long-lasting matter. (2015:52)

Not just living for obtaining success or making a fortune in the world anymore is a rather positive change according to Our
spiritual and heavenly standards.

418
Not expecting this world and your temporal life to be all the reason for your physical existence down there brings you
closer to Us.
People for whom this temporal, physical and materialistic world is the main thing, even if theyre Christians, I guess you
can see now that theyre not that spiritually valuable as friends, can you?
If Im trying to raise your validation of spiritual and eternal things and values, as opposed to physical and temporal ones
well, I guess you see how rare it is, even among the majority of Christians and believers, to obtain those spiritual
judgments of values, as opposed to the physical and material ones.
So, where are you headed? When will your choices happen to prefer spiritual over material things? (2015:53)

Im leading and guiding you to make faith your major spiritual strength in your life.
It was necessary to weaken your fleshly and carnal success to do most yourself in this world.
Having to trust in Me and the Father and your heavenly help is definitely better in the long run than keeping your trust in
your own flesh and abilities.
The spirit is everlasting through My Salvation I gave you, whereas the flesh is only temporal, and eventually going down,
as you can tell. So, trust in the Spirit! Keep your vision for strength focused on Me and your heavenly goal Here, Up Above,
and turn it more into your conscious goal in your life, instead of physical and material temporary success! (2015:54)

Keep your spiritual view upward, and dont let the physical circumstances drag you down so much!
Youre still in that process, prone to get down due to your physical conditions, which is why Im having to make you
desperate enough to seek Me, so youll keep the right shape and attitude, focusing more on the spiritual side of things
than the physical and the flesh.
Youve got to start preparing now for whats up ahead for you not the physical, but the spiritual.
If your faith is rather geared to your physical circumstances, thats not necessarily the best source or input for a power of
spiritual strength.
Show that you depend on your spiritual help, when theres nothing, or at least not much you can expect from and count on
from the physical side
Remember that your ultimate strength doesnt come through the physical, but from Us Whove made you! (2015:55)

You can feel a small sentiment of encouragement and spiritual strengthening. But the longer you manage to hold it up, the
stronger and more present it will become, even if the physical circumstances the enemy will pull on you will make it all
seem a lot harder and tougher. But it will be the ultimate proof that the Spirit will turn out stronger in the end than the
material and physical components of the creation. (2015:56)

Hang on to My Spirit, instead of putting most of your confidence in the flesh!

Can you put the Spirit above the flesh now, as Ive been trying to teach you, put first thing first?
And remember: feeling weak in the flesh for you means to be hanging on to the force of the Spirit! If God the Creator of
all is a Spirit, it couldnt mean that the spirit is weaker, just because it may not have the measurable strength as the flesh,
visibly, could it?
If Hes the Creator of all things and hes a Spirit, what would make you think its weaker than the flesh?
The flesh eventually dies, the spirit doesnt and wont. So better to invest some time and effort into the Spirit and its
ways to do things, isnt it? (2015:58)

The Spirit World is some dimension above the material and physical world.
Becoming heavenly-minded is definitely a better mental and spiritual state for you Looking Up ahead, instead of just
rolled into your physical surroundings, which arent everlasting.
This World awaiting you isnt dependent on any of your current physical abilities, and all you really need is spiritual input
and nourishment for your faith! And that comes mainly from the Word! (2015:61)

Youve got Me and My help available to you, and getting used to your dependence on it is better than being partly able to
manage it all in your own power of the flesh. (2015:62)

Focus a bit more on the Spirit World and get a bit out of the groove of the flesh! (2015:68)

The weaker and older you get in the flesh, the less youll mind showing up in Heaven, eventually, because the less
important the physical life will wind up for you! (2015:69)

As a believer, you should make some preparations and get ready for whats coming hereafter after your current life of
the flesh. Prepare for the spirit and its takeover and proof that its a greater and more long-lasting force than the physical,
that seems to be so much vaster and more important to pretty much most folks!
But just as time shall be no more, eventually, the same applies to the flesh. (2015:72)

Thats what Im trying to train you into right now: to rely and lean on Me, instead of your own carnal abilities and strengths!
(15:75)

Faith and belief in Me should consist not just of circumstances in the physical realm, but of My input from the spiritual!
(15:83)

419
Thats what will help and enable you to overcome the negative impacts of the physical and temporal world youre still
dwelling in right now: Just start getting used to realizing the greater impact of staying in the Spirit! (15:84)

You cant manage to feel completely satisfied in that world, of which the majority of inhabitants are more tending to
materialism through which the enemy tempts them.
If you think about all the wars going on in that world for such reasons based on materialism, is it really any wonder you
cant manage to feel at home there?
So, be glad and thankful theres a better One expecting you! A spiritual One, and not a materialistic one where the desires
for temporal things power the entire beings of the majority of folks! (15:85)

When happenings make you weaker in the flesh, it can mean that theyre making you stronger in the spirit again, and you
know which of the two I prefer. Strength of the spirit to Me is much more valuable than strength of the flesh, since the latter
is only temporal, while strength in spirits eternal.
I know the temporal condition of things is more common to you and thus plays a bigger role to you right now, and it takes
a bit of faith to trust and take My Words serious, that strength in the spirits eternal, since nothing lasts very long for you
right now, in your current condition, but well, thats why and how it needs some trust in Me and My Words to you, and
eventually youll see that theres longer lasting values in the spirit than what the physical world offers. It may not be visible
to you right now, and only perceivable somewhat by faith, but if you manage and if you can, trust Me for it that its worth a
lot more and much more lasting than what the physical world has to offer
If you cant really feel a lot of strength right now for making it in physical and material aspects, just take it as a fact that
you need to establish your strength in the spiritual realm and aspects first! (15:87)

When you realize your own weakness, its a golden opportunity to apply and ask for strength and power from Above,
which will be able to help you much further than physical, carnal, or even worldly mental strengths. (15:88)

Physical and material abundance and prosperity doesnt always coincide with spiritual and characteristic values.
Less materialistic prosperity seems like a stronger setup for spiritual and character values. In other words, folks who
spend less of their lives dedicating it to materialistic affluence simply might have more time to dedicate to spiritual and
deeper human values (15:89)

Be strong enough in faith and spirit, and weak enough in the flesh and pride! (15:91)

Changes are difficult, especially when youre older, but eventually theyll have to come, anyway, latest when you leave this
world and all its ways of the flesh.
Many ways of the flesh, that it longs for, are temptations of the enemy. (15:92)

The carnal strengths may be okay for how you feel in the flesh But being more dependent on spiritual positive input will
in the longer run have more lasting effects, more results to show in the Hereafter, and thus, in the long run, it all bears
more lasting fruit than just the temporary success you were able to enjoy now and then
See, its not all about showing off what you can and manage in the flesh, but how you feel and what you can give in the
spirit: making efforts to make those around you happy, not just showing off your abilities! 015:95)

Applying for My help is something you ought to get into regularly, for times are coming when youll need it quite
desperately, and your own strength of the flesh isnt going to be enough anymore. (15:96)

Where I want you to go, it might be a little rougher and tougher there physically in some ways, but couldnt it also be the
enemys temptation to keep folks stuck where things may be temptingly easier, financially, but all the more devastating in
spiritual aspects? (15:97)

Get into the custom of depending on miracles the force and power from Above, instead of your own of the flesh! (15:101)

Getting into the channel of the spirit, is getting into the Fathers Channel, the Channel of God, since Hes a Spirit; and
anyone believing in His superiority above all those beings made of flesh will someday see they chose to believe in the
proper wisdom, and will be rewarded accordingly. In the Spirit World, which is also far superior above the material world
where the flesh presently rules
Get used to that fact, that the things in that world are only temporal, including your life, so why not invest something in the
spiritual values from Above, where He dwells that made all things? (15:102)

Im just trying to get you more into the move of the Spirit, and thats why you have to pass through this time of weakness
of the flesh. Dont see it as a hindrance or weakness. It may weaken the flesh, but for that, this gear is meant to strengthen
your gifts of the Spirit. (15:103)

Dont feel too bad about not having reached a level of perfection! You can be pretty sure that wont happen until you get
Here, where you wont be subject to the weaknesses of the flesh anymore.
Depend on Me instead of your own carnal abilities!

Remember the passages Paul wrote about the Father having chosen the weak things in the world to confound the mighty
(1.Cor.1:27) , and Our strength is made perfect in weakness (2.Cor.12:9), so that, when youre weak in your carnal state, you
may be strong in spirit (2.Cor.12:10). (15:113)

Maybe even the fact that youre not physically able to see all things clearly and correctly shows that you havent seen
things quite correctly yet from a spiritual point of view, but there are things and factors to fix and repair, and some
operations necessary to improve your sight and view of the spiritual facts, as much as you need repair with the physical
view (15:116)

Through your dependence on Me become more filled with the Holy Spirit, instead of just letting folks see your own
personality in the flesh (15:118)

Most people dont believe in the existence of the spirit world And thats what makes you so different, not really fitting
into their superficial, materialistic version and perception of the world. Being called out of the world, and not being part of
it applies to those who perceive that the major part of whats going on comes from the spirit world. With the big change
about it coming through the fact that the enemy and his crowd will soon burst into the physical part for the time of the
Great Tribulation leaving the Spirit World pretty much completely over to Us for that time, and having you and others of
Our folks to cope with evil from the physical realm.
The enemy and his force wont be hindering anymore from the spiritual side of things, while theyll be taking over the
physical for the Tribulation. (15:121)

Dont rely too much on the physical and financial parts of it all. Its time to get into a greater spiritual wave of things, and
dont let life be geared too much by the material parts and from those aspects.
Time for you to learn about the pros and cons of being largely geared by desires for physical pleasures, or being guided
by the spiritual ways, keeping that standard a bit higher and making it stronger than those physical desires.
Its a tough challenge to keep the spiritual aspects in the first place in a world where the opposite is largely the case, and
the flesh is just about the thing of major importance for the large part of mankind.
Im going to see you through! Its just not something you can rely on the flesh for.
Get out of that gear of reliance on your own strength and abilities of the flesh, which are going to serve anyone less in the
times to come who wants to stay on My side and not yield to the enemys reign!
So, tough times for the flesh, yes; but good times to learn to rely on Me, My Power and protection instead, youll see. It
may be tough being surrounded by younger ones who have all the temptations of the flesh ahead of them, still but
theres the challenge to teach them when the time comes what youre learning right now: to lean on the spirit, not the flesh!
To sow to the eternal, not just that temporal phase, which may be here today, but will be eventually gone tomorrow, even if
the world may pretend and seek to get you to believe that its all there is and ever will be. (15:122)

Relying on own abilities, which basically means, on ones own flesh well, you ought to be learning by now from all Ive
given you on that topic, that its not really the blessed way to handle things and lead your life for Me, playing a part in that
world soon to be taken over completely by the enemy, as if you could handle it all in your own strength and deal with it in
your own wisdom. (15:123)

Its not your carnal abilities you used to rely on more in the past that will strengthen others confidence and trust in you,
but positive faith in Me and the fruits of it visible in your life, behavior and action that they can see.
You need Me most of all more than any physical help or company in the flesh. (15:125)

Choosing between self-reliance with pride and dependence on Me based on humility is pretty much what its all going to
boil down to: depend on the smartness your own flesh comes up with, or the Wisdom of the Spirit from Above! (15:126)

Anything that has the values from Above wont perish, but last forever.
These things will be much more appreciated and treasured then, where the values largely governing folks wont be ruled
by the materialism that runs your world nowadays. Spiritual riches and input stick better to a spiritual Place much better
than the material ones.
Having learned to cope with things in your own management is like leaning on your own flesh and understanding.
Let it be another lesson of flesh vs. spirit: dont just expect things to happen youve been encountering in your own
experience! (15:129)

The time to make it in your own energy of the flesh is over (15:135)

With less energy of the flesh at hand, youre definitely more willing to pay more attention to whats going on in the spirit,
and prepare a bit more for your arrival Here, in the Spirit World.
If things dont jibe that much anymore in the flesh, it might be time to pay more attention to the Spirit
Dont feel too discouraged when youre feeling so weak in the flesh, but remember that its My effort to raise the strength
from Above in you, which one day youll see as the best thing that ever happened to you during your life on earth, causing
you to stop trusting in your own strength, and causing you to trust and rely on Ours from Above instead!
Once youre totally ruled and governed by the strength of the Spirit from Above, youll see how much better things will
work that way, instead of trusting in, and relying on your own physical and natural strengths. (15:138)

421
I and the heavenly aid will be most helpful and effective when you cant make it anymore on your own, and your trust will
wind up having moved entirely into the zone of the spirit, once out of that of the flesh! (15:141)

No more use in relying on your own flesh and physical abilities, talents or intelligence! The times to come require more
than what youve got to offer yourself in order for you to make it through there!
Pay more attention to the spiritual than whats going on around you to be perceived by the flesh!
Set the spirit and its values above the flesh with its desires!
Why not make the effort to focus more on the spiritual side of things, since thats where youre supposed to belong, and
will wind up eventually? Why not put first things first? - Leaning on the Spirit, instead of the flesh?
Dont try to indulge so much in the pleasures of the flesh, but lean more towards what the Spirit has got to offer you, and
you wont regret it!
See, thats another big reason why I kept telling you so much about flesh vs. spirit: Being addicted to the pleasures of the
flesh is something that eventually will drag you down, instead of lifting you up, even if initially it may seem as if it brings
you pleasure!
Focus more on the spiritual side of things, spiritual fulfillment and thus, the cause of true happiness, as opposed to the
fake pleasures the devil offers to your flesh, which are mere temporal satisfactions, not anywhere comparable to what the
Spirit has got to offer!
Resist the temptations of the flesh! And seek more to be filled by the true happiness and fulfillment the Spirit has to offer!
So, what would you choose: physical satisfaction, or true happiness coming to you from sowing to the spirit?
Putting first things first means, the Spirit above what the flesh desires.
It means, youll stop craving for whatever the flesh tells you it wants, but will put the Spirit of the Kingdom above it all on
your list, consider all that more important than what the flesh tells you it wants. And thats what will result in blessings! So,
dont listen so much to what the flesh tells you it wants! (15:148)

When you cant trust in the physical conditions anymore, well, thats the phase to put your faith and trust on higher
ground!
Right now, the enemy has gotten folks so interested in raising their own material and physical gains, that it has become
difficult to win them to Me, but with the way times will be changing soon, thats quite likely to change again.
You can also see from what John wrote, quoting Me about flesh vs. Spirit, that what Ive been telling you a lot about is not
a new topic or subject (see Jn.3:6 and 6:63)! So, there must be a reason and purpose for you to start getting the point on that
matter. There must be a reason to become more spiritually-minded!
If you get too involved in physical matters in order to keep the flesh as satisfied as you can, well, it sort of gets you side-
tracked, and off the gear of trying to make sure youll win as many others to Heaven as you can! So, its time to get off
those carnal trip-offs! (15:151)

If the physical situation is far from perfect, maybe thats a situation to put the spiritual aid and aspect to a test, get used to
applying for and depending on it, and put your faith into practice that in theory has been telling you for a long time that the
spirits above the flesh.
In other words, put more trust in Me than the stuff you can see all around you!
Maybe you shouldnt make your life so dependent on all the visible and physical things, but use your faith in the physically
unseen Spirit World more, and learn how to let it play a greater part in your life!
Try to make Us the Basis of your life, not the physical circumstances. Its part of the necessary preparation for the Endtime
to let the Spirit play a greater role in your mind and life in general than the physical part, which isnt going to get any
better, but more disastrous as time down there goes on towards its end.
Dont let the visible parts of the world play the main role in your life, but Our Spiritual Source, through your faith Make
your faith in the Hereafter and Our Power grow, and the distractions from the here and now subside! Let that faith play the
role in your life thats the leading role it was supposed to all along, without letting all the physical, carnal and material
things and aspects take over the main parts!
Just hand the importance over to the parts in your life that are supposed to have it! Make the spirit rule over the flesh for a
change! (15:152)

Challenges in life are supposed to strengthen you. Not physically, but spiritually! Make an effort to learn to put the first
thing first, and not make everything dependent on physical conditions!
As times get darker in the world, the physical standards will go drastically downhill, and the most important thing you can
do and lesson to learn is to raise the standard of the spirit in your life high above the physical, carnal and fleshly one!
Turning toward the importance of the spirit above that of the flesh is one of the key points to make it through the times to
come. So, let the Spirit become the top priority in your being, life and existence, and raise it high above the flesh,
consisting of values that are merely temporal.
If the world around you keeps chasing for carnal and physical enjoyments, let it drive home the point to you, that not being
so fleshly oriented is one of the main points of not being part of the world, but your true Home lingers elsewhere in the
Spirit. (15:153)

Lift your vision Up Here! Youll see, itll all become a lot clearer, eventually, as do the things of the Spirit that will last,
opposed to the carnal ones thatll fade away. (15:155)

My ways may always be quite a bit different than you would have chosen with your own, carnal mind, but as time goes on
youll recognize that what I decided will turn out to have been the better choice for you. And once you get into the groove
422
of learning that and taking it as a fact, trust Me that your chance to make it through the rough times to come will be much
higher! (15:156)

Just as flesh isnt above spirit, so being materially richer and blessed isnt above or anywhere near true happiness! Not
putting your goals on materialistic advantages will definitely bring you closer to true joy the advantage of putting spirit
above the flesh! So, keep your vision aimed at the true Goal, not greater materialistic advantages!
Welcome to the true goal of life! Not the materialistic and financial advantages, but the blessings of the Spirit! (2015:160)

If you cant be too thrilled by your own fleshly appearance and physical abilities, just take it as something to draw you
closer to the spirit!
Focus in My direction and make a bigger effort to turn your sight toward the spiritual side of things, instead of all that
surrounds you.
If your physical sight isnt working as well as it used to, could it be a reminder to turn your focus more toward that, which
according to your faith is so much better and more lasting than those temporal, physical surroundings?
If what you can see all around you drags you down, it may just be a reminder that your spiritual sight is supposed to be
aiming elsewhere Up Here, where you belong and will eventually wind up!
Many others are more interested in and occupied working for their physical needs than getting into learning especially
spiritual things. Maybe thats why Ive got a lot to tell you.
Listening to Me will give you the ability to give others more of spiritual values, which you ought to know by now I treasure
more than the work most folks invest their time in, to enrich their physical existences
Flesh? Or Spirit?! Thatll turn out to have been a major choice to make! (2015:161)

Places where material things play the main role in just about everybodys life there, are definitely not the receptive ones for
spiritual messages, but theyve rather been brainwashed quite successfully by the enemys indoctrinations and efforts to
make materialists out of just about the entire population of that place, and even though just about the entire world is
affected by that addiction to things, its not manifested in the same grave aspect everywhere, and in other places, family
values, for example, are still considered higher and treasured and valued more.
In spite of any of the negative physical circumstances you may wind up in remember whos been given the power to rule
the physical realm, and Who runs the Spiritual, and which of the two is there to remain, not fade away! (2015:164)

While there is definitely a greater measure of importance toward the spirit than the flesh, this doesnt mean youre
supposed to just wipe the flesh out yourself with your own bad habits! Take good care of what youve been given!
Just make an effort to resist the lust of the flesh, tempting you to have pleasures you shouldnt. (2015:165)

Physically, exercise is good and important. But when spiritually you feel like theres a huge battle for you to deal with,
make the spirit number one, and physical necessities no. 2!
Its more important to get back into the Spirit, and not make the physical matters the priority. (2015:166)

Im trying to get you out of the typical human wavelength of trusting in and relying on your own strength, capacities and
mindset, and get you to put more of your trust in the spiritual side of things, which includes Me, the Father, and well the
whole lasting dimension, as opposed to the fading one youre currently in, physically. (2015:167)

Depending on heavenly help from Above in order to make it is a bit more manifestation of your trust and confidence in the
Spirit than your own flesh
But when the flesh is operating apparently too flawlessly, its human trait to stick to and lean on it, instead of the greater
strength and powers from Above requiring faith and prayer.
But now that the state of the world is turning into downright unpleasant, and your own state barely making it through, well,
youre gearing your attention a bit more over Here to Our side for heavenly Help the only way youll eventually make it
through days to come!
So, not leaning on the flesh, but turning toward the spirit is the key to make it through the times to come, and the sooner
you get into that groove and way of operating: Spirit first!, the better!
So, dont consider it a bad move, to have things around you working in such a way that theyll drive you a lot more towards
the way and gear of the Spirit!
So, do you still see the weakness of the flesh as something negative or bad, or can you see the advantage of it through
making you rely more on the strength of the spirit, in other words, My strength, and all of that from Above, from Heaven,
where He dwells Who created everything in your physical realm?
So, while right now the physical hindrance may still strike you as a negative disadvantage, maybe eventually youll
recognize the advantage, of emphasizing the spirit instead through it all.
And knowing where that spiritual strength and power comes from, maybe itll also help you to focus more in that direction
and become more heavenly minded, which is another main thing Ive been trying to get you to pay large attention to.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God (Mt.6:33) is another verse that makes more sense than ever, especially with the carnal
distractions having grown into a bigger size and proportion than ever before, and getting close to the physical reign of the
tempter
It takes a greater effort than ever before to resist all the temptations and attractions of the physical.
And, of course, it makes it the most difficult and a harder challenge than ever, to resist those carnal and material
temptations, but the more you realize how vain they are, how temporal and empty, as far as the eternal, spiritual values go,
the more drawn toward the other, spiritual side you start feeling. (2015:169)
423
There isnt as much of the flesh left to rely on in your current state as there used to be
Needing to trust in and depend on Me a lot more now and do you think I consider that a disadvantage, or an advantage?
Think we would have made it through the Endtime the way I would have wanted, over 20 years ago, when you were running
in the top gear of your flesh and carnal procedures?
Or if the Scriptures are true, being weaker now, and forced to trust in and rely more on Me and the Spirit than your flesh,
there are much better chances for us to be making it the way we ought to?
So, lets see whether, When I am weak, then I am strong really was spreading a message of truth for the future a time
when the system would be more than ever into glorifying its citizens own carnal strengths! Lets get ready to show the
world how strong you can be with My strength when youre physically weak! (2015:170)

The fact that youre weakened in the flesh should strengthen you in the spirit!
So, why not strengthen the gift of the Spirit of faith and trust a bit more?
Get used to the fact and condition that your physical condition and thus, its abilities, are going down so, you might as
well let yourself get strengthened in the ways of the spirit, of which your future being exists, and which has that ability
since a looong time to accomplish things the flesh cant. (2015:171)

Its not ones physical abilities through which theyll manage to stay faithful to Me and in My service, but when someones
turning weak You can tell how not being able to rig everything up in your own strength draws you closer to Me (2015:177)

Giving spiritual things higher values in life than the material ones will always have positive benefits, since it shows that
youre putting the right values on the different things. If the spiritual has been increased in its category in ones life, it will
reveal its positive results eventually. (2015:178)

Another difference between flesh and Spirit: the Holy Spirit being a much better and lasting Source of faith and courage
than your own physical abilities, strengths and skills; at least definitely so, once your bodies are starting to give up the
ghost to the extent where former abilities just weaken, and its better to put that trust in the more permanent Ghost: the
Holy One from Up Here thats also capable of enabling you to do things like witnessing to others and winning their souls,
which your own bodily and carnal functions may not have been that capable of! (2015:179)

Our Spirit, compared to your flesh is a lot more capable of accomplishing things according to Our will and according to
what will be happening in the near future, miracles will be necessary a lot more than ever and dont you think it takes
Our Spirit a lot more for those than energies of the flesh?
Itll take Our Spirit in order to get things according to Our will accomplished in the near future; and not much use trying to
accomplish in the energy of the flesh those things that will need to be done.
So, if you feel less energetic and less powerful in the flesh, just take it by faith through what Im telling you: the more youll
be able to accomplish through the Power of Our Spirit, including the miracles it will take to make it through the times
coming toward you!
So, dont feel to discouraged! We just need a greater Power and Strength than what you would have been able to render in
the flesh, anyway so, dont feel too bad about Us having to allow it to be weakened and make Us more able to do things
through you! (2015:181)

Folks who dont believe in Us, dont believe in spirits, and the other dimension where spirits dwell a higher one than the
physical one, which is why We can see you, but you cant see Us (2015:182)

Part of faith is the purpose of treasuring the invisible the Spirit above the visible: the flesh and physical material!
(2015:184)

Believe that I am able to do it through you, even when it doesnt seem possible that way in the physical? Trust that the
Spirit can do it, even if theres not much strength in the flesh? In other words: manage to believe what Ive been telling you
for years, that the power and strength of the Spirit is ultimately higher than, and above that of the flesh? In other words,
My and Our strength and Power Up Here above your own down there? - And thus, more worthy of putting your ultimate
trust in, rather than your own?
A biblical statement, such as When I am weak, then I am strong (2.Cor.12:10), does it mean, not strong in the flesh, but in
the spirit which might mean greater and more important strength to Me and folks Up Here, in the Spirit World?
Could it mean, When I am weak in the flesh, then I am strong in the Spirit? Because My strength is spiritual, which is
made perfect in carnal weakness?
Well, that might mean: Dont feel too bad about it when youre being carnally weak! Because it could mean, thats when
you can get strong in the spirit the element My dimension consists of in other words, better than that of the material
and physical one! Spirit above the flesh! Definitely longer lasting! And in that aspect more productive and powerful in the
long run as well? What do you think? Doesnt it make sense? If God the Creator of all is a Spirit as well (Jn.4:24)?
Being physically weak means, I can make you spiritually strong, if you put your hopes and faith in the Spirit!
Physically weak may mean spiritually strong!
Instead of physical strength itll take faith to get that spiritual strength and power going and working through you!
The light shining in the darkness is definitely not powered by the same energy as the dark so, dont lean on the flesh
pretty much dark by itself, isnt it? but the light according to the Book you believe in, a creation of the Spirit Who made
it all In other words: the light = a result of the Power of the Spirit, whereas the dark is pretty much result of the lack of it,
424
and the same things happens after some time to the flesh, as well. So, what is it wiser to put your faith and trust in? And
whats it wiser to lean on? (2015:188)

The time for spirit to show its superiority above the strengths of the flesh is coming! (2015:190)

Let go of your former carnal capacities let the Spirit accomplish much more through you than you ever could by
yourself, anyway!
In order to win souls to Me and the heavenly Kingdom, its much more necessary to rely and depend on the Holy Spirit, not
your own fleshly assets, strengths and talents.
While being most familiar with what you know from your own carnal experience, growing older teaches believers to
appreciate what according to their faith comes after that life during which things just fade away. In other words: growing or
turning older draws you closer to the Spirit World, or the eternal Here and Now!
It took a while and some big changes to get you to set more value into My Spirit World, and above that of the physical
world around you - Took a while until spirit gained some value above flesh in your attitude and consideration. (2015:191)

Let Me show you and others, what strength of Spirit is capable of, compared to mere strength of flesh!
See, if you realize and believe that flesh was actually created by what is Spirit, it might start making a little more sense to
you
- So, carnally incapable? Always a pleasant challenge for Me and Us Here to show whats stronger and capable of helping
you make it in spite of physical weakness. In fact, physical weakness is Our strength, as its already saying in the Bible!
So, finding out you cant do it in the flesh, but will be making it through the Spirit, ought to raise your faith a lot!
Dont worry too much about whether youll make it or you wont! Those worries are what the enemy uses to get folks
hooked up into his self-solving scheme of the flesh.
The fact that your carnal brain is weaker, along with your body not being as energetic, shows you that the energy of the
flesh is obviously not as lasting, as eternal, as the mode of the Spirit.
So, promotion of the Spirit is something fairly rare in the world of the flesh but interested?
Interested in showing folks that that currently invisible factor is actually quite stronger than their current, local and plainly
visible strengths?
Hey, if God is a Spirit, as I said and Hes the One where everythings coming from even though it might not drive you to
the top down there in that world of yours, but will wind up taking you elsewhere and somewhere higher, eventually
doesnt look like the trap of worrying about coping with the physical duties down there is really essential or
recommendable, does it? (2015:193)

Material blessings and pleasures of the flesh not being quite as important to you anymore as they used to be for most of
your life, is an advantage to Us, and means that the spiritual Input has become more important to you a great surplus, as
far as Were concerned! (2015:194)

Those harder times that appeared now, dont you think they should turn out to make you a bit stronger in the spirit, even if
your flesh turned out quite weak?
As long as things go swell in the flesh, its still hard to put your faith and trust in the Spirit But once youre weakened,
you begin to understand what it means, When I am weak, then I am strong, because I said, My Strength is made perfect
in weakness.
Even if you cant deal with, or handle things quite well physically right now may it all put more of your trust into the
spiritual, lasting things!
Spiritual input youre receiving, not feeling too capable in the physical strength of your flesh makes you feel weak, and a
bit hopeless. But if you can manage to believe in what Ive said about believers weaknesses resulting in My strength
coming forth through them, well, you wont be feeling that down and low anymore about not being still up in the same
physical abundance of strength and energies as before, but will get more faith in the maybe less visible, but much longer
lasting abilities of what My Spirit is capable of through you and anyone who receives It.
So, even though you feel physically much weaker and more downtrodden than before cant you see anywhere, that in the
long run, this is your asset, and your plus, instead of a loss?
The apparent minus will turn out plus. Just as weakness turns out strength! (2015:195)

Since your flesh is fragile and thus, your physical abilities, trust more in My Spirit instead, and the Source of strength
you need for whats up ahead, starting right now since you can tell that tough times out there are beginning, and you
need it!
you can tell what a disadvantage it can be for others, to do and say things and act in ways that arent really led and
powered by My Spirit, but mainly by own strengths and energies instead, without realizing that thats a weakness, not a
strength, according to celestial standards - Just as relying on ones own wisdom and mind is, instead on receiving
leadings and guidings from Up Here.
Become more dependent on My help and Spirit, instead of your own strength!
Beginning to tell the difference of the effect it has whether you act in the strength of your flesh, and the much more
wonderful way to lean, rely and depend on the Spirit from Above instead? (2015:203)

Sometimes it is better to learn to have Me do things for you through prayer, than insisting on doing it all yourself in your
own strength and power of the flesh. Another argument for the Power of the Spirit above that of the flesh! (2015:206)

425
Once you got used to getting pretty confident in your own physical abilities Well, nows the time to rely more on Me, in
order to get more done of that which I want done, and a little more of a demonstration of My Spiritual qualities, instead of
your own, physical ones.
See, thats one of the main differences between flesh and Spirit: portray either yourself through your own physical and
carnal abilities, or Me, My message and Spirit through whatever part you allow Me to take in you.
It may not seem that promising to your pride and your carnal being, but it should to the more lasting part of what you are
and will continue to be, even when that carnal, earthly life is over. (2015:221)

Your own talent probably counts as your strongest arm of the flesh, when I want and we all need you to rely on the
Power from Above instead!
Rely on Me more than your own abilities, the ultimate and highest way of leaning on the flesh instead of the Spirit the
Power from Up Here. (2015:225)

The carnal and physical strength gets diminished to teach you that its not all you can lean and depend on, but theres a
necessity of leaning on Our strength and help from Above.
Part of being born again and the Fathers child includes having to learn to depend on the greater strength from Above -
Strength through the Spirit, instead of solely leaning upon the flesh; which should also teach you that the spiritual Realm
is more lasting and more powerful than the fleshly, carnal and physical one.
The toughness of the times is to prepare you for whats to come, thus teaching you more to lean on Me and depend more
on all the strength from Above you can get through asking for it, and getting tuned in to leaning and depending on It,
instead of your own physical abilities! (2015:240)

Not that easy to stay all spiritually-minded these days, is it?

Its become a lot tougher to stay on a spiritual level.
- Unless, of course, you begin to realize that all that the material has to offer doesnt really fulfill and satisfy you interiorly.
It can satisfy the flesh but the spirit?
If youre becoming weaker in the flesh, take it as a sign that you need to become more dependent on Me and your help
from Above! (2015:247)

Its just better to trust in Me and the power and strength from Above, instead of relying on yourself and your physical and
carnal abilities. Its better to put your trust in Me than in yourself.
Yielding to the temptations of the flesh and the glory of carnal efforts raises the carnal weaknesses more easily. Another
reason not to put too much emphasis on the flesh and carnal efforts, dont you think? (2015:249)

If youre still tempted to complain about getting weaker in the flesh, dont let the weakened sentiments of the flesh drag
you down, but focus on the strength in the spirit, believing by faith that thats more important! In fact the only thing thatll
help you make it through the days to come! (2016:2)

Lean on the Spirit from which all things come, not the flesh that still has a lot to learn on how to truly do things and
operate! (2016:6)

Become less of a victim of circumstances in the physical region! Let the Spirit reign!
Let the Spirit rule and reign your activities, and become Spirit-led! (2016:21)

Take things and deal with them as they come; try to handle them through the strength, force and power We offer you, and let it
prove to you that its true what Ive been telling and preaching at you about the force of the Spirit far exceeding that of the flesh!
Our Strength and Power above your own or any worldly power! (2016:24)

The enemy is preparing the world for his reign by brainwashing them through the media, without them becoming aware of
whos running it, and wiping out belief in supernatural powers and forces through education. Basically making the flesh
the master of its own creation.
So, staying in the Spirit may not be that easy with the god of the flesh becoming in charge down there
Its an effort, a fight and a battle you just have to learn the importance of, and dont let the enemys distractions discourage
you from making that effort, but rather, spur you on to stay more in the Spirit, and try as hard as you can to get out of the
groove of, and reliance on the flesh!
Lean on and hang on to the Power of the Spirit!
Its a tough battle, but the way to win it, is to learn to focus on the Spirit, and win it through the Spirit!
Not all that easy when youre a carnal being, but thats what faith is all about: realize and recognize the superiority of the
Spirit, and cling to and dependent and rely on it, more than own physical capacities or material(-istic) sources.
What value is greater and more important to you? The physical and material, or the spiritual?
Just remember, God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and that should help you make the right choice.
They that choose the Father, choose the Spirit over the flesh and all temporary assets it can bring and prefer the eternal
instead. (2016:27)

Its one of the things I want to prove to the world eventually, that their own carnal energies are not as mighty or powerful as
what the Spirit the Dimension in which We dwell is able to do and eventually will prove that it is and ultimately much
more powerful than the physical energies of the flesh.

If God is a Spirit, cant you imagine that thats the ultimate sign that the spirits more powerful than flesh? (2016:31)

Believe in that theres something more to see beyond the plainly physically sight, and something much better and more
beautiful! Theres something about Our Nature that supersedes what humans in their current state on Earth come up with.
Something folks might relate to or define as supernatural, and its not just in aspects of power and strength Im talking
about, but also much superior beauty than what in most places around you down there you can see and perceive with your
physical senses
So, dont rely on them too much, but remember that folks came up with something beyond or even above the physical
senses! There are greater things and ways to see, hear, smell, taste and feel in the spiritual Realm, and if you want to catch
a glimpse of that, just get more geared to the spirit!
If the Fathers a Spirit the Creator of all doesnt it indicate that theres more to expect from the spiritual side than what
the physical world has to offer? So, even though to you that Realm right now isnt visible, dont let It strike you as
something minor compared to the physical world, even if thats all you can see with your eyes right now! There are
greater things to see beyond the physically visible!
Just because you cant perceive much of the spiritual world with your still physical senses and perception right now, does
that mean it makes the Spirit less valuable? (2016:34)

Since youre learning the consequences of spoiling kids, dont allow yourself to be spoiled, either! Especially once you
realize whos behind it!
Who else do you think could be in charge of coming up with materialistic spoiling methods, both, for children of the flesh,
as well as children supposedly of the Spirit?
So, dont fall for the materialistic spoils, learning where that stuff leads to!
Gear your focus more into the Realm of the Spirit! Tough, in a fleshly world, but thats what both, I and all My true followers
have had to go through.
Remember that what physical things have to offer is temporal, and only whats offered through the Spirit has lasting
values, far beyond the offers of that momentary sphere youre currently referring to as the world! (2016:44)

Get used to that mode of daily dependence on Me and the help from Above! All those folks making it without it are leaning
on the flesh thinking thats all theyve got and will ever have. Through faith, you should know better! (2016:45)

Maybe I also still appreciate challenges! Like doing it through those who most unlikely seem capable.
So, it doesnt depend on your physical energy as much as your faith the spiritual energy. And that often appears stronger
when the flesh is weakened.
Let hard terms and conditions be something you learn how to handle through the Spirit! Let Us prove to you that It beats
the carnal energies! What do you think is more lasting? Flesh, or Spirit? (2016:55)

Learning that the Spirit is more valuable than the flesh is one part of the preparation for the dark times to come so, do it!
Prepare for whats coming by getting geared to the Holy Spirit. Not leaning on the flesh or physical and material riches
that are bound to wither! (2016:59)

Ive allowed your flesh to become weaker, because its time to learn to depend on the Spirit.
Its time to learn not to lean on the flesh anymore, and your own capabilities, but on Mine! (2016:60)

If you still dont dig it yet, how eternitys supposed to work when time shall be no more, still confined to that less-
dimensional mind, its another reason to get into the Spirit instead of seeing things from the point of the flesh! So, get out
of the mindset of the flesh, and do all you can to tune in to My Spirit!
All great men and women of Mine didnt make it without Me directing and empowering them! Certain things just cant be
done in the mere power of the flesh! And its time for you to get used to that: the Power of the Spirit!
Feel incapable? Let Me do it through you with the Power and Strength of the Spirit!
See the advantages of the Spirit above the flesh, and thus become more spiritually-minded! Keep in mind the fact that God
the Fathers a Spirit! Doesnt that make the momentarily invisible to you greater than the physical and visible? (2016:61)

Through the times coming, no fleshly abilities will be what will help or see you through! (2016:62)

Cant make it on your own? Good opportunity to make it through Me! And good training and preparation for the much
harder times to come! Apart from the benefits of not leaning too much on the flesh and your own capacities.
Get used to the fact that thats not all there is of you! But something much more lasting is about to come forth. And just
because its not visible to most humans doesnt mean its lower, less or weaker! Just wait and see; and get ready for the
big surprise! (2016:63)

Remember My counsel on leaning on the Strength and Power from Above, not your own physical capacities! Remember to
lean on the Spirit, not the flesh!
The mind is part of your fleshly capacities, and not being able to lean and rely on that anymore shows you its better to rely
on the Spirit from Above; the Holy Spirit! The Spirit of the Father and the Mother Who see it as Their task to care for you,
just as I see it as Mine to lead, guide and direct you. (2016:64)

Just as your physical muscles can be strengthened through physical woes, so the spiritual woes and trials make you
427
stronger in spirit. (2016:65)

Dont focus on the physically visible the circumstances but Up Here, the Place which is your true Home awaiting you,
and from where you can receive and avail yourself of all the Help, Strength and Power youll need to make it through
whats to come!
The enemy uses the physical circumstances around you to doubt that you can make it but hey thats the opposite of
faith, and what Ive been telling you for years is one of the most important factors youll need in order to make it.
If the physical folks and conditions around you are not being all that helpful in order for you to make it, thats just a sign
that youve got to focus elsewhere not at the physical conditions, circumstances or even accompaniments around you,
but that spiritual side from which the very creation of your existence stems. (2016:67)

The more you need that help from Above, causing you to apply and pray for it, the more youll get out of that old carnal
groove of leaning on your own abilities, which definitely wont help make it through the dark times to come!
If the fleshly means and abilities fail, let the task of Our Spirit in you increase! And let us show and prove to you which is
stronger and more powerful and capable of seeing you through times of trouble!
So, lean not on your own talents and capabilities anymore to help see you through times to come, for those days will need
and require greater Help and Strength you carnal abilities cannot come up with. (2016:72)

If your physical strengths are sinking, take it as a plus if thats causing your spiritual qualities to go up! (2016:73)

Another part of the topic of flesh or Spirit: not feeling at home in that world where the flesh largely rules, makes the
children of God yearn for their true, lasting and spiritual Home, even if they dont happen to know much or anything about
It yet. (2016:78)

Fleshly weakness is an advantage to Me, and as far as Im concerned.

When folks are more dependent on the Help from Above, theyre just easier to use for Heavens glory than when theyre in
top carnal conditions. (16:79)

With no physical sunshine around, you tend to realize more the need for Me, your spiritual Sunshine. And realizing the
need for positive spiritual input above your longing for pleasant physical circumstances is something thats becoming
very important, considering what times are before you. (16:82)

Put your vision toward the right direction Up Here to Me, not your own fleshly abilities. Time to rely more on the Spirit
than your flesh and its capabilities!
Its easier for Me to use folks who cant rely fully on their own fleshly capacities. (16:85)

The weakening of the flesh helps to recognize the superiority of the spiritual Help youll need.
So, feeling weak? Thats when Ive got My chance to make you strong through My Power and the Fathers. Way
superior over any amount of strength of the flesh!
Weak in the flesh might be the factor to raise your faith in the Strength of the Spirit, which you should know from My
history that it definitely can have its effects in the physical realm, just as all Creation originally did. It all depends on what
spirit you yield to.
The presence of John during My crucifixion, which proved that he wasnt too shaken by physical appearances and
conditions, resulted in the fact the he was the only one of My disciples not dying a martyrs death. So, can you see the
advantage of putting your faith in the Spirit instead of carnal and physical conditions and circumstances? (2016:90)

Try to get the point why Im stressing the fact that its time to get stronger, not in the flesh, but especially in spirit, in order
to help you deal with whats to come! (2016:91)

Not being able to rely on your fleshly capabilities is just something you need to get used to, since what it takes to make it
through whats coming will be anything else but that!
In order to make those drastic, negative changes turn into something halfway positive for you, youve just got to get into
that groove of utter dependence on Me and Heavens Help, instead of your physical abilities!
That little taste and groove of impossible for you is just part of preparation for the darkest times of history when itll take
miracles to make it through each day. - Something to get you into the groove of All things are possible to him that
believes, instead of relying on your own carnal abilities. (2016:92)

Changes are coming; and its good to get prepared for and adapted to them, even if your flesh might initially have the
tendency to reject them. Another reason why its so much better to listen to the Spirit, instead of what the flesh wants and
longs for
Trust Me that the desires of the flesh will have to be brought down to the lowest gear in order to make it through the times
to come!
So, get out of the places where everythings ruled by the desires and cravings of the flesh!
Dont keep listening to the comfortable mode and desires of the flesh! Get tuned to My Spirit!
While Im not promoting the strength and energies of the flesh, it doesnt mean that Im not more for a life-style that keeps
you fitter and healthier.
Its not the fitness as much as the cravings, lusts and desires of the flesh I cannot recommend. (2016:93)
428
Sow your efforts and considerations of value to the Spirit when your physical abilities are getting weaker!
The Spirit gives you the necessary strength to make it!
Rise above the influence and effect of physical conditions and get into the Spirit!
The Spirit is what gives freedom from all the hindrances and negative effects of the physical world around you.
Remember that the carnal isnt what lasts, but what lasts lies beyond that, and thats what you should consider and focus
on as your true Home, not the far less pleasant circumstances of the world around you! (2016:95)

Resisting the evil surrounding you, managing to have a positive effect on those around you is not that easy in the flesh;
but thats why youve got to avail yourself of the Strength and Power of the Spirit!
Even if theres not a lot of carnal activity you can boast of, trust Me that its the spiritual activity thatll help you make it
through the days to come!
Remember that I called Myself the Bread of Life (Jn.6:35)! - The Bread that will make your spirit grow. The part of you that
lives forever.
Sometimes things are rough and tough, but to learn to handle them through the Spirit is what youve got to do. They may
weaken the flesh but thats how youll learn to put more emphasis on the Spirit. (2016:97)

The weaker you get in the flesh, the stronger My spiritual Input.
When I am weak, then I am strong in other aspects the spiritual ones.
So, try to see the advantages of your physically weakened condition!
Focus on the spiritual advantages!
To handle difficult times is not to make you feel forsaken by Me, but to draw you closer to Me and make you more aware of
the necessity of staying as close to Me as you can, depending on My guidance and protection, and not your own physical
abilities! (2016:100)

Trust Me that if you commit your survival into My hands, you wont be as disappointed as if you would be if you try it on
your own. Thats why Im getting you out of the gear of relying on your physical abilities.
Your spiritual ones will turn out to be worth a lot more! - Trust Me! Your spiritual ones like your connection with Me will
start making sense when the trouble hits the landscape. (2016:101)

Humilitys one of My main goals for you to reach, and if that didnt work with your carnal condition in its usual state,
humility and overcoming pride was just something more important than perfect physical well-being, and you simply have
to trust Me for that. (2016:106)

Learn not to let the physical conditions and circumstances drag you down, but point your antennas to the Holy Spirit!
A major lesson of what we shouldnt want is unfortunately quite necessary.
Unfortunately, and obviously, not that easy to learn for most, with the enemys skill of tempting folks with apparently irresistible
evil making it look so good and attractive to the flesh. Thats why I keep teaching you to gear your focus toward the Spirit.
(2016:112)

Coming to grips with your own carnal-minded faults is just one of those paths that convince you of the superiority of
relying on spiritual reason and wisdom from Up Here. (2016:114)

See that desire for pleasant times alone as something of the flesh! And look at how the Holy Spirit helped My disciples to
make it through the rough! (16:117)

Youll see that being weaker in the flesh will make you stronger in the Spirit. So, dont see your weakness of the flesh as a
hindrance or something negative! See it positively by faith! (2016:118)

The enemy decided to spoil you first with the most comfortable and easy-going years of your existence down there He
knew what would cause the wrong kind of weakness in you the spiritual kind while giving your flesh the thrills of its
life.
So, if his pepping up the flesh weakens you in spirit, can you blame Us for weakening the flesh in order to raise up your
spirit again? The only way youll make it through whats coming?
In the flesh, the circumstances may seem like a catastrophe and trust Me that its going to start looking a lot worse yet.
But thats precisely why youve got to gear your vision according to the Spirit looking past the physically visible, at a
greater victory beyond! (2016:126)

Leaning and depending on your own talents and strengths, its getting a bit harder for you to get back into the groove of
leaning on Me. Nothing to please the yearning of the flesh anymore to be its own god.
But itll be another proof that the Spirit is above the flesh, youll see! Definitely longer-lasting. And trust Me that the
coming materialization of spiritual bodies will be a better one than the current conditions of the flesh!
Like My body being in much better shape and capable of many more things after My resurrection But not yielded to the
current weaknesses of the flesh. (2016:130)

Let My Spirit strengthen you, and dont rely too much on the physical assets! (2016:136)

429
Youre getting into the gear of Miracle-Power.
Just a first glimpse of why Ive had to allow for you to get weakened in your physical abilities in order to be able to rely
more on the Spirit.
Its a manifestation of My counsel to you regarding Spirit-Power opposed to the flesh, the carnal abilities of man, which
wont help very much trying to do the job for a God Who is Spirit and a World that is likewise.
You can recognize the advantage of the positive side-effects of physical weakening not feeling so nearly all-powerful
in the flesh.
If the weakened state makes you a little more desperate, all the better.
If your current state and shape in the flesh makes you weaker and isnt working for you the way it used to, rejoice! It
means that the Holy Spirit has a greater chance to operate through you, even if you may not be feeling it right now, since
its not a physical state of strengthening, and thus not physically that tangible or noticeable.
But trust Me that the dependence on the Spirit is an asset a pro, not a contra an advantage in the long run, even if
physically an apparent disadvantage!
Like this youre also learning that the apparent advantages and seemingly positive sentiments of the flesh arent really
what Id call an advantage or a positive since what I and all of Us Up Here advocate is a strengthening of the Spirit, not
the physical sentiments of the flesh, which are rather associated with lust something you cant imagine as something
coming from Us or the heavenly Spirit.
Its mainly what the enemy keeps using to keep folks addicted to his gear of the flesh.
Once your flesh has been weakened, those carnal desires arent all that much that propels you anymore.
And you can definitely agree that what We approve of are the spiritual incentives and forces to turn you on to the spiritual
goodies after all, what youre heading for, and youre bound to embrace when your flesh says goodbye to that world.
When carnal desires have been geared to for a large part of life, its a more difficult process to set more into the spiritual
gear. Its a shift of gears the swift from the carnal to the spiritual.
Come Up hither is quite a transition, especially when youre still physically bound to the conditions below. (2016:138)

If life is tough, remember that thats supposed to make you stronger. And even if you dont feel like its doing so in a
physical aspect, remember that the most important one is the spiritual! Learning how to trust more in Me for your strength,
not your own physical capacities.
So, be thankful for the tough times youre going through as times to make you spiritually stronger than youve been
before, even if the process seems to include physical weakening!
I know physically you dont feel much like making it but let that state of weakness youre in be a proof and a sign to you
that I can empower you to make it in spite of any physical matter and condition! (2016:139)

Even if the physical conditions dont seem promising or rather, because they dont it should give you more hope and
trust in what the Spirit can do for you once you get in tune with the right one and manage to utterly yield to Her. (2016:140)

To see the Light in spite of the darkness surrounding you means availing yourself of a spiritual viewpoint. - To focus on the
spiritual Light even when all around you in the physical world theres not much left to see but darkness. (2016:141)

Remember that the physical weakness you experience is supposed to give you greater spiritual Strength, and make you
more dependent on Me and your Help from Above!
Strengthen your spiritual sight and outlook, and make yourself less dependent on, or influenced by the physical outlook!
Remember the priority of the strengthening of your spirit above physical conditions and circumstances!
Make the Source of your strengths the spiritual Source!
Put your faith in the Spirit! God is a Spirit, and so is the Mother, the Holy Spirit, the angels and all your helpers Up Here,
many of who lived physical lives before, too and youll discover that spirit wont turn out a disadvantage, just because
its mainly invisible down there; just basically a human term for whats presently still mainly invisible to them. Once youre
Here, youll discover assets of whats considered spiritual abilities you mainly dont have right now in the physical.
Faith will turn out to be an asset of the acceptance of a higher form of existence than the physical one. (2016:142)

Sometimes feelings and emotions are something you need to get the victory over.
Theyre part of the physical setup, and you have to learn to overcome them through the Power of the Holy Spirit. (2016:144)

Seeking first My Kingdom means to put spiritual, not material things first.
Having taken part of your physical abilities away from you had the purpose of getting you more into the gear of living by
faith. Faith in Me and the Power and supply from Above, not your own abilities, since thats the only thing that will get
you through the hard times coming.
Make your faith not your own physical abilities the source of providing for your needs! (2016:145)

The big difference between doing Gods work and the work of the flesh:
What will all their physical and fleshly work amount to for them in the Thereafter?
The difference between the fruit of the Spirit and the results of the work of the flesh depends on your faith in either of the
two flesh or Spirit. Now, in a world run by the flesh and carnal efforts, its an act of faith to place your actions, works and
deeds into the Realm of the Spirit, and you just cant expect popularity from the masses around you, nor acceptance from
your relatives or fellow-humans observing you.
The enemy wont stop trying to slow you down and do all he can to stop you from your efforts and sowing your fruits to
the spiritual Realm, instead of investing all your efforts in the carnal realm like the vast majority.
430
I allowed you to become weakened in the flesh in order to get you to invest your energies in the spiritual Realm, My Realm,
and the lasting One, where you sow My seeds and bear fruits that will last.
Your physical nature consists of the tendency to prefer the easier way out And thats often one of the tests of faith:
choosing the harder way in spite of what your flesh and its tendencies tell you. (2016:146)

Get into the spiritual groove! Thats what I like about My followers and the Fathers children, when they get into it upon
realizing that the physical world governed by our enemy couldnt be the Real Thing!
There will be an answer, and somehow its much easier to find when folks are less distracted by their physical and material
advantages.
Just as your body needs the daily food you eat, dont neglect the spiritual nourishment, which will be just as necessary for
survival in the days to come as the physical food. Keep feeding your spirit! Daily! Just as you need to keep feeding
your body! (2016:147)

You might not be in top shapes physically, but how about working on getting into a top shape spiritually? (2016:148)

Remember that feelings especially those physical ones are not much more than tests to show what is stronger in you:
the spiritual or the physical gear! Negative feelings caused by physical circumstances have to be learned to resisted and
overcome, instead of getting into a negative attitude and mindset about uncomfortable circumstances or unpleasant
physical sentiments.
Rise above any of those negative feelings and emotions through the Power of My Spirit! Remember that those emotions
are largely carnal intuitions, and have to be overcome by My Spirit the Holy Spirit! Dont allow physical circumstances
to drag you down, but get into the gear of letting My Spirit lift and raise you up!
Dont give the carnal and physical slope power over your spirit, but make your spirit rise above them!
One of the reasons why Im showing you the hopelessness of relying on the flesh: Thats simply not going to be the force
to see you through whats coming.
The real Strength and Power comes from the Spirit since God, Who created everything, is a Spirit. (2016:149)

Disadvantages in the flesh may easily turn out to be advantages in the spirit! Because the weakening of the flesh
demonstrates the process of the strengthening of the spirit. And hey, if the Father Almighty is a Spirit can it strike
you as something negative to be geared to that lane?
Trust Me that the weakening of your fleshly capacities is an advantage, because it causes you to trust and rely more on the
Help and Strength from Above, the only Things that will see you through whats to come! (2016:150)

When Im becoming your only hope to make it through, its not supposed to be a reason for you to complain, but a gear to
get you into depending on Me, not leaning on your own understanding, capacities and strength of the flesh.
When the strength of the flesh subsides, see it as a positive step of progress in the direction thatll see you through in the
dark future: putting your trust in Gods Spirit instead the only Force capable of seeing you through whats to come!
(2016:152)

If your fleshly capacities take a low turn, remember carnal weaknesses turning spiritual strengths up!
A weakening process of carnal abilities: Another spiritual up out of a physical way down, another blessing in disguise, and
greater eventual spiritual Strength and Power gained through physical weakening.
My healing of the blind and lame was an example of what My Salvation was to bring to My believers and followers: Seeing
things in more spiritual, and thus, more lasting waves, and making more significant moves than the mere amounts of
working for the flesh thats there today and gone tomorrow. (2016:153)

Not being able to quench the thirsts and desires of the flesh is part of preparation for whats expecting you in the worlds
future.
What youre requiring to see you through a day, you should definitely see as a carnal weakness to overcome!
Carnal desires and pleasures are not necessarily a positive! (2016:154)

In times coming, those fleshly capacities just wont serve you as they used to.
Its time to get into Spirit-groove, in order to manage whatever therell be to manage through gifts of the Spirit, such as
miracles, and theyre simply not performed through physical capabilities.
To enable your survival will require uttering some prayers for it, giving Us the glory in your praises for it, and thanking us
for the Help from Above, instead of leaning on your own abilities. One more factor about the difference between leaning on
the flesh, or the Spirit.
Leaning on the flesh gives yourself the glory. Leaning on the Spirit gives it to Us. (2016:161)

When your flesh is weak, compared to physical enemies and circumstances around you, show the world that the Spirit of
the Creator of all is mightier! The final proof of the fact that the Spirit goes above the flesh: its mightier, since being the
Creator of everything. (2016:166)

Sometimes your physical capacities go down a bit in order to teach you not to rely on them too much, but rely more on the
miraculous Power and Help from Above instead.
Remember that humility is a more precious gift in the long run than physical capacities!

431
What you need most of all is to learn and get into the rhythm of depending on the supernatural Help from Above, not
anymore on managing in the flesh or with human capacities!
You desperately need to learn to depend on Me and the Help and Strength from Above, not your relatively small and
shrinking carnal abilities, or even those of your carnal mind.
It strikes you as a negative not to manage in your own strengths, abilities and capacities I see it as a positive, and the
only way youll stand a chance to make it through whats coming, when physical and carnal abilities will amount to zero
when it comes to depending on it for survival through the reign of our no.1 enemy and his folks preparation for that time
down there.
Youve just got to get ready and prepared by learning to lean on Heavens capacities, not your own, carnal ones!
Itll take a bit more God-Power Who is a Spirit to make it through whats coming, than whatever amount of strength the
flesh and carnal capacities are able to come up with.
Its part of the lesson and the proof of the fact that the Spirit although currently invisible to most humans and Its
capacities go way above those carnal ones of the flesh.
While most people basically worship carnal abilities, the ultimate lesson of history will prove that theres something
smarter and wiser than leaning on and putting all faith and trust in fleeting capacities of the flesh. (2016:173)

Your feeling incapable is a good sign for Me, since it drives you into the gear of relying on Me and Heavens capabilities,
instead of your own. I know the flesh fights and resists it, but as far as your spirit goes, you should yield to it! (2016:176)

Making the right choices in favor of the spirit vs. the flesh - will bear the proper results! (2016:183)

You may find yourself confronted with relative carnal incapability as necessary factor to introduce spiritual capacity and
capability. The flesh has to slow down in order to make the Spirit lite up. (2016:188)

While the forces of the flesh, along with technical abilities down there seem to be superior on the surface, if Gods a Spirit,
along with the vast majority of His host, let Him show the world what is ultimately more powerful!
Put your faith in the Spirit thatll conquer, instead of the temporal powers right now! (2016:195)

Theyre other factors I see as more important, not just how youll make it through the physical process of life.
Consider the spiritual processes and progress as more important, if God Himselfs a Spirit! (2016:201)

It takes some time to learn to set the Spirit and its values above the abilities of the flesh, but its just something youve got
to learn.
Look at the physical way down as a spiritual way up! - The weaker the flesh, the stronger the spirit. (2016:203)

If the flesh gets too weak to make it, put your trust in God Who is Spirit, through which all things were made, and youre
more prone to make it through than your own, physical capacities! (2016:207)

Youre seeing the physical weakening of aging as something ugly But give Me the chance to use it, and use you more in
the state of not being able to rely on your own flesh and abilities as much! Physical weakening gives Me a chance to do
things through you if you give Me that chance by clinging to Me and ask for My Help and expect Me to do it through you.
Clinging to Me and My Help and expecting Me to do it through you is an act of faith, a spiritual ability you have to get into,
not a physical. And even if the physical circumstances strongly seek to distract you from that, not making it without Help
from Above should get you to tune in and cling to it all the more.
Cant make it? Let Me make it through you! (17:4)

Trusting in and relying on your own abilities and physical circumstances draws you away from putting your trust and
confidence in heavenly Help. - Another reason why I promote hanging on not to the flesh, but the Spirit. (17:7)

Getting less concerned by and occupied with feeding of the flesh makes more room and golden opportunities to fill your
spirit with what it should be filled with. (17:8)

The quieter the conditions around you, the better youll be able to hear the Spirit.
Another difference between the flesh and the Spirit: the flesh is definitely the noisier factor. (17:9)

Easy times spoiling your flesh arent really doing that much good to your spirit
Though physically you may not present much of a challenge to anyone, trust Me that in My business its above all the
spirit that counts, matters and is able to make a difference. (17:10)

My recommendation of spirit above flesh and using My Strength and Power more than your own, doesnt mean youre
never supposed to use the physical strength of the flesh at all anymore. Its just that the value of your spiritual abilities will
rise high above your physical ones as times get harder.
Your faith and trust in Me have got to become the major factor, above the capabilities of your flesh and carnal mind.
Its not that your flesh and carnal abilities are useless, but youll need more than what the flesh can offer, in times to come.
(17:12)

It takes a lot more than mere natural human sense to figure out the sense and purpose in all things.
432
- One of the aspects of which Gods ways are so different from the ways of man.
Its like: the ways of the flesh are born of flesh, and the ways of the Spirit are of spirit, and you should know by now which
of the two ways is the longer lasting one. (17:17)

Learn to see in the spirit, through the eyes of faith, in order to not let the physical aspects drag you down and defeat you!
(17:33)

Life getting harder is a sign of no more chance to make it in your own strength of the flesh, but a demonstration of your
need for and dependence on the Power from Above to make it. (17:34)

To pray without ceasing! is one of the major ways to stay and act in the Spirit, instead of leaning on the physical
strengths of the flesh.
It may seem like a negative to the flesh, if you cant manage to make it in your own strengths, but as far as our view from
Up Heres concerned, its a positive.
Isnt it also a great demonstration of humility, that lack of leaning on the capacities of the flesh? (17:36)

The importance of being and making a difference definitely includes that capacity of being weak in the flesh and relying
more on the Spirit it thats what the Father Himself is.
The world pretty much revolves around the physical factors, and not too many even believe in spirit at least not to the
extent where its playing the leading role in their lives. See it as a factor that makes you exceptional and different, and
nothing to be ashamed of!
The ways of the world are the way of the flesh, not of the Spirit even if the ways of the flesh are largely directed by the
wrong spiritual side, but soon to take over in the physical for a thankfully limited time.
So, stick to the Spirit the Holy Spirit of God even if it makes you different, and a dropout! So was I, and so were all My
true followers. So, welcome to Our Club! (17:37)

What doesnt seem like good news upon first aspects, trust Me that theyll turn out good in the end through making you
stronger in spirit, through learning to rely on Us instead of your own, physical abilities!
With things around you turning ugly, doesnt that make it easier to set your faith and utter reliance on the Spirit? And if the
Father Himself is Spirit, as John wrote, what could be better to put your trust in? (17:61)

Another factor of the difference between flesh and spirit: the former is temporal, the latter eternal.
The focus should be geared on Spirit, if youre not just settling for the visible and temporal things.
Spirit is what lasts, flesh is what fades. In other words, while flesh is temporal, the Spirit is permanent.
So, what could be the wisest to invest ones time in? (17:64)

If the physical circumstances are tougher than what youre used to, remember, theyre going to get tougher yet, and youve
just got to learn to make that habit to rise above and overcome them!
Let Me prove to you that I, and the Father - Who is Spirit - are more powerful than whatever combats you in the physical
your state of the flesh, or whatever unpleasant circumstances and conditions! (17:75)

Physical conditions and capacities go down to lower dependence and confidence in that factor, in order to make it more
obvious from where Strength to make it will need to come.
The less capability in the flesh, the more reliance on the Spirit. (17:80)

Whats coming is not a period where physical abilities play the leading role, as they still might do currently, but during
which the spiritual factor of faith will take over the place of the leading force factor in peoples lives wholl make it in spite
of the worst and darkest circumstances ever. (17:81)

The state thats expecting the world may not be something you feel physically able to cope with, but thats why Im
recommending My Strength of the Spirit for you to lean on. (17:87)

Seeing the disadvantages of the fleshly existence ought to help you see the advantages of the coming spiritual one. (17:89)

Remember, the challenges are there to make you stronger in spirit and get you to avail yourself of My Powers from Above,
instead of your own in the flesh!
If the physical parts around you make it tough, its a sign to direct your focus on the Spirit!
Your body may make you feel weak in the flesh, but My Spirit will make you feel strong inside! And remember that that
inside part is the lasting one Well meet and embrace Up Here! (17:93)

Once you get to clearly see My way instead of the usual way of the flesh, youre ready to accept and choose My Way as
yours. Youll see the type of difference itll make, not only in quality but also capability. Simply because Gods Power is far
superior over the power of the flesh. (17:95)

See the spiritual gifts as more important factors to make it through whats coming than your physical needs! (17:102)

433
Make your circumstances bigger, by adding the spiritual dimension to them, which, in fact, is the much greater one, and
one of the main reasons why spirit goes far beyond abilities of the flesh! (17:104)

If you feel helpless in the flesh, just let it be a reminder of availing yourself of the Help of the Spirit!
Its the invisible inside of the body that plays the most important part of how the outside will be doing.
Its what spirit youre ruled by that will determine the state of the flesh.
Dont let physical circumstances and conditions distract you from keeping your focus directed on the spiritual Light of the
World! (17:105)

Dont stare at the physical darkness, but keep your focus geared toward the spiritual Light! - Beyond what your physical
eyes can see. (17:106)

Whats going on in the Spirit World is more relevant, more effective in the end, and thus, more important than the physical
happenings in the dimension of the flesh.
Become convinced of the superiority of the Spirit over whatever the flesh and material side of things can rig up for you!
Turn toward spirit, rather than flesh! And remember that if God - the Supreme Being - is the Spirit by Whom everything
there is was made and created, how could It be weaker or less significant than temporal flesh?
So, look beyond the temporal circumstances of the flesh, Up Here, to the lasting and eternal values of the Spirit!
Stay spirit-minded! (17:108)

The spirit is more important than the material state or shape of a country.
Whats high in material aspects is often lower in spiritual ones. (17:111)

Its a better way, not relying on ones own ways of the flesh. And the aspect of that need usually only arises when that
factor has sunk down.
So, become familiar with the dependence on the Spirit, and Our spiritual Forces and Strengths that will enable you to make
it through times you couldnt make it through with your own, (former), physical strengths!
When life becomes a tough one, its a sign to lean on the Spirit instead of the flesh. - To teach the importance of the
superior Strength of the Spirit vs. that of the flesh.
So, if the Fathers a Spirit, remember that thats the factor you should lean and base your strength on, not the temporal
aspects of the flesh!
Realize the importance and significance of spiritual vision due to the priority of spirit over the flesh!
Keep remembering that God is Spirit, the factor that makes Spirit what deserves the most recognition and attention,
especially in a physically lower-sinking world! (17:115)

Dont see physical incapability as a negative, but as My Golden Opportunity to empower you and make and get something
out of you that you never could in the flesh!
Another factor of the difference between supposed knowledge and faith: Faith in something youve got to believe in even if
you havent seen it yet, is not as popular as the knowledge according to physical and carnal experiences But its the
Stuff I rely on to work through.
Its not your brain thats supposed to be telling you what to do, but that mysterious part called spirit, thats more closely
related to what they still call the heart, (even if not relating to the physical one).
Its the same part of the inner being where love has got to come from, and you know Whose Presence that Factor
represents. (17:119)

Its the spiritual action that counts the most to Me.

And thats where the faith and trust come in to believe that the Spirit is simply more important than action in the flesh.
(17:121)

The spiritual direction most downhill folks are heading may seem easier, and it may be easier in some ways, leaning on the
physical abilities of the flesh, instead of the unseen Force and Power of an unseen God but thats just the way of faith.
(17:123)

Understand why I cant keep allowing you be distracted by the world around you, when its all nice and cozy?
Of course the flesh prefers that. But you just have to learn to put the emphasis on the spirit instead!
- The Stuff that your Creators made of. - And you will be, too!
Dont let the devil distract your spirit-side and draw it back to the local range, the physical! (17:127)

The less you lean on the strength of the flesh, the more accepting you become of the fact that you need Help from Above.
(17:131)

Focus away from the flesh, and gear your vision toward the physically invisible Realm of the Spirit! Remember, thats what
the currently better Part of Everything consists of a good reason and motivation to give It the priority of your attention!
(17:132)

Even though the Word was made flesh, I didnt stay or remain as flesh down there, and youve got to put that faith in the
Spirit, as the Father and Mother are, and all those capable of helping to see you through during the most chaotic time
approaching the physical realm! (17:134)
434
The Holy Spirit didnt make you rich or famous in the flesh, but consider it rich in spirit, even if the conditions youre
confronted with right now make you feel - and seem - poor. But - hey what did I seem and look like? Certainly not like a
rich man. So, be a true follower of Mine, and not ashamed of it! (17:138)

Cant make it on your own? Hurray! A chance for Me to make it through you, and thus get things accomplished that might
not happen any other way, and definitely not the way of the flesh and physical capacities in a time when the spirit will
become the most important, rarest and thus, most precious ever. - Along with all the values of the spirit that will have to
manage it through the time of the devil reigning down there in the flesh (17:147)

The distractions from My channel are a natural way and course of life, and the challenge is to handle them with My
heavenly Help, and not just try to cope with them in your own energies of the flesh. Let My Spirit become the leading
Source of Power in your life! (17:148)

435
 What Jesus Had 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 its really from Me, and 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 and Strength and Power to rise above! Its a matter of giving the glory to Me,
instead of yourself! (I:3)

Pay respect to Him, to Whom honor is due, the Maker and Giver of all things! (I:16)

Give Me all the glory all the time, and therell be no stopping you. (I:43)

Its often just the Devil whos 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 youll feel so much better, if you do! (I:75)

Doing things for love, means doing things for My glory. (I:86)

Remember to give Me the glory whenever youve gained a victory, whenever youve made it through a day with flying
colors!
This victory may already be your next test: to see whether youre going to give Me the glory for it.
Dont forget to give Me the glory!
Simply remember Me and give Me the glory by acknowledging Me, thanking and praising Me and asking Me to keep you
from falling, even when you think youre safe! (I:90)

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 and
brokenness is what makes you material that I can ignite. Otherwise, itll only smolder, smoke and choke the people.
In order for it to become real, there needs to be pain and 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. Youve got to be willing to become nothing, nothing at all, nothing but Me.
Watch out for any of those elements that would distract you. (I:203)

What do you want to do? Do it yourself, promote self, or take the humble road, deny yourself and 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... Thats when you start dying to yourself, because it
makes your pride, your selfishness, your ego, your old man and everything in you that stands for this comfortable and
compromising little life, squeal and hurt.
Im going to help you, but I cant take this pain from you.
So, you have to check your motives. Is your goal and vision easy living? Or do you sincerely want to further My cause and
Kingdom? (I:204)

Id 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 and grab the glory for virtually everything thats 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 youve gotta have
some guts to grab the spoils of Egypt. If youre too scared about whether its 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 and thank Me for it, no matter where it came from. Its only pride that makes things complicated. (I:263)

Glorify Me in all you do. Use it for edification and lifting Me up, not the Enemy or self, or sad feelings of gloom and
hopelessness.
Pray that I will override any elements of self, and that its purely My Spirit that comes through. Make sure that its in My
Spirit!
The less there is of you, the more the light shines through. The more you glorify Me and the less you just display your skill,
the more I can use you.
Burn free with the message that truly glorifies Me... (I:267)

436
Misunderstandings, pain, hurt and problems, are principally a result of that element of self, and this wont occur if you put
Me first, give Me the glory and credit for everything and make sure right from the start what youre in it for. (I:274)

Glorify and praise Me in your heart! (I:297)

If you seek Me first thing everyday, truly put Me first on a daily basis and include Me in everything you do, that also will
amount to giving Me the glory in all you do and for all you do, instead of seeking the glory for yourself, or the recognition.
Youve got to watch your motives, like Bruce Almighty: he wanted to let the World know who he was, what a wonderful
and talented TV reporter he was, but the more he got what he wanted, the more wrapped up in himself he became, and 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 its all Me, and they
wouldnt be tempted for a moment to give the glory to themselves. (I:298)

Sometimes some rather unknown actor in a little, less significant side-role can take the audiences breath away more than
the main actors and characters, and by the grace of God you can be such a man, but its up to you, your willingness to put
all youve got into it...
If the motive is to inspire them and to help them make it, and to give your own life for anothers and 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 and play it the best you know how and trust Me for it and just do what you can
to make the best of it. Dont worry about who gets the glory! (I:360)

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 and 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. (I:413)

Always seek to give Me the full and 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! (I:424)

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 and 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, and 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, and if it doesn't work, well, then I'll be your last resort.
(I:447)

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 and safest to keep pointing them to Me in all things and 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!" (I:465)

Praise is utter humility and 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 and pat
themselves on the back, or proving their worth and 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 and 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 and 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 and glory.
If you seek to do that which matters and bears importance according to the rules and standards of Heaven, you would be
wise to seek things that glorify Me. (I:481)

I need to make sure that it will be all Me working through you, that you will be giving Me all the glory and none of those
things like reputation and what people say or think of you matter to you. (I:496)

"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 and grow into a hole in the dyke that will result in a catastrophic flood of evil
sweeping into your life. (I:547)

Learn how to give! If you can just stay focused on that and stop trying to make some kind of a show business out of that
437
and "behold what I've learned" rah-rah, 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 and thus make sure you're accomplishing what I want, and that I will get all the glory for it!
(I:551)

I just require everyone to do what they can, humbly, and to stay close to Me, to trust that I'll do for them what they can't, so
that they in turn may give Me the credit and the glory for it! (I:559)

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... (I:568)

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. (I:574)

Those who naturally feel and know that they are and can do nothing in themselves, tend to give Me the glory a lot more for
everything, and also to be less harsh and judgmental on their brethren. (I:589)

Bring My glory into your life by telling people about it! (II:59)

No flesh should glory in My Presence. That I will get the glory for it, since I'm the One Who initiated the whole thing in the
first place, and the One Who will complete it.
As long as there are all these disturbing elements of self in the way that seek for a way to pat yourselves on the back for
what you've accomplished, instead of letting go and letting Me do it through you and seeking to give Me all the credit and
glory for it, it's not where it's at. (II:199)

You're so used to relying on your own abilities. It's your greatest addiction: that need for accomplishment, so that you can
feel useful and like you've accomplished your task that's your excuse for existing. But you don't need an excuse for
existing! I created you with a very definite purpose, and that is to glorify Me, and not to be just another one of those who
glory in the works of their own hands. (II:210)

If you do all things to the glory of God, you'll benefit from staying in My Spirit all the time. (II:321)

Whatever you do, you've got to make sure you're doing it for My glory by bathing it in prayer! (II:348)

Only when you get to the point where you can truly look success and failure in the eye in the very same way, and can say,
"The Lord hath given, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord, and all the glory is His..." only then can I
trust you with great works, accomplishments and achievements. (II:384)

In a way, you seek to usurp the glory from Me by taking things into your own hands. (II:387)

The most important thing to some is that it's their own achievement that they can be proud of. Otherwise they would have
to give Me the glory for it, as something I was achieving through them in spite of their own shortcomings and failures, and
that is something they're not able to accept. (II:449)

As long as you seek to accomplish anything that will boost or strengthen or secure your own ego, it's the wrong attitude. If
it's nothing but My glory you seek, then it's the right one.
You've got to make it a habit to give Me the glory for things, just as you need to cultivate the habit of praying regularly,
reading the Word regularly, etc., and hearing from Me. After anything you did or participated in that you consider a
success, rest for a few minutes to give Me thanks and the glory. Otherwise it will only strengthen your flesh and its desires
to gain ground and secure its own existence; "saving your life," instead of losing it for My sake. (II:458)

It takes a conscious effort to give all the glory to Me! It takes realizing that there's an automatic, hidden mechanism
functioning in yourself that causes any accomplishment to feed that dark, hidden part of your ego, which seeks to be built
up and pumped up by that sense of accomplishment, and then refusing to give in to that urge by making sure that you say,
"Lord, I want to give You all the glory for this!" (III:29)

You have to choose between My humble way and the proud ways of the world, between giving Me all the glory, and
cashing in some of it yourself and patting yourself on the back. (III:55)

Giving all the glory to Me is not the same as letting Me do everything and refusing to play your part in it! (III:78)

It's much easier to be "good" when all the credit goes to yourself. The ego will gladly score points for itself by being
"good," but it becomes a lot harder once you realize that in reality, there's nothing good about yourself that you wouldn't
have to give Me the credit for. (III:90)
438
You've got to ignore all the shiny temptations that might cause you to give yourself the glory, instead of Me! (III:122)

I'm allowing it to look hopeless for a while, in order to make sure that you're not putting your hopes or confidence in your
own strength... to make sure that if you're going to come away victorious, then it's going to be a total and obvious miracle,
and you won't be patting yourself on the back, but will give all the glory to Me. (III:210)

The right kind of incentives are going to enable you to do the kind of works that require My Strength to do it through you,
so that you can give Me the glory for them. (III:240)

If there's one little way in which you seek the glory for yourself, it will fire back on you somehow.
It takes a whole lot of desperation, sincerity and humility, a real whole-hearted effort, to make sure you're really giving all
the glory to Me, and you can't just take it for granted that that's what you'll be doing naturally.
Greater saints than you have caught themselves wondering if they were doing what they were doing for selfish reasons
and motivations of putting themselves in the limelight.
The natural thing is to want the love and attention for what you're doing yourself. The supernatural thing to do, that which
only I can enable you to do, is to do it all with only one purpose and intention, and that is to glorify Me, and it doesn't
exactly come natural to you, nor is it always easy for everyone.
It isn't even easy to recognize that you're not doing it. That's why so many false prophets out there keep preaching without
realizing that My Light has gone out in them.
So, make a greater effort to seek My glory! And one way of doing that is by praying more for My guidance in the things
you're doing. (III:305)

Give Me the glory for anything you accomplish in spite of your weakness! (III:311)

Give Me the credit for every breath and step you take, and for every day of life that you get through!
Every day you manage to really make it together as a team, give Me the glory for it!
Praise Me for it, because its something that you should not be taking for granted! (III:538)

I want to make sure you remember that it is I Who supply your needs, and not your own abilities. I want you to give Me all
the glory for it. (III:591)

You have to decide who it is that deserves the glory and praise. (III:595)

I want and need success to be brought about by My Spirit, My Power and Grace, not by your relying on your own skills. I
need to get the whole glory, in order for it to be able to work. (IV:29)

It takes an extra specific effort to make sure youre giving Me all the glory for something accomplished.
You pour out things that come from My Spirit, and its absolutely expedient that you give Me all the glory and credit for it.
This cannot go to the credit of your own name. You cannot chalk that one up to your own merits or the list of your own
accomplishments or achievements, because they very clearly fall into the category of What hast thou that thou hast not
received?
As soon as youre talking spiritual matters, it becomes very important that you absolutely give credit where it is due. And
its not just a matter of refusing to take any credit yourself, but of actually making positive declarations of giving Me the
glory.
How could you have done any of this without Me, without My inspiration, without My input and outpouring of My Spirit?
(IV:232)

Whatever you do for My glory cannot be bad, but is sanctified when you take it in gratitude as a gift from Me. (IV:312)

Do everything that you do for the glory of God, not just for the short-term, present and temporal purpose.
If you do everything with giving thanks, and to the glory of God, if you continue in the praise of God, then you show forth
that you are partaking of the eternal Realm to some extent, and you believe youre part of that, and not just of this small,
finite Matrix most people refer to as their only reality.(IV:462)

Whats important is that its not just someones ego being fed there, but something is happening that glorifies Me, that
gives Me the credit for whats happening and thus will bear good fruit. (11:29)

When you can just let things work out according to the wisdom and Plan of God, then youre giving God a chance to be
glorified instead of insisting on cashing in the glory for yourself. (11:35)

So many people never give Me the glory for anything they accomplished, but I want it to be different with those who know
Me and are close to Me. I want there to be a tangible and visible difference in the end. I want the difference to be clear
between the fruit of those who give Me the glory for what has been done and accomplished in their lives, and those who
dont.
Remember that its got to be My Strength youre doing it in, and that involves and includes giving Me the glory for it.
If its really becoming too hard, it may well be that youre forgetting about that one important factor.
439
So, just try a little humility a very important factor in the My yoke is easy clause and give Me the glory, instead of
feeling all great about yourself, patting yourself on the back or taking it for granted that, of course, you should make it,
why not, you always have
Yes, you did, but because Ive helped you, and I need and want you to acknowledge that. Is it any wonder Im putting you in
situations even you realize you couldnt possibly handle yourself? (11:39)

Whats so bad about having to give Me a little bit of the glory? All Im asking you is to share with Me! Youll get plenty of
rewards and recognition, dont worry! All I ask is that you share a little bit of it with Me and dont give yourself the whole
credit alone for what youve done, but acknowledge that I helped you do it. (11:49)

All depends on whether youre in it for your own glory or you can share the glory, or better even, abdicate and surrender it
completely to a higher, and more deserving Power due to being the Source of everything worthwhile youll ever have to
convey and pass on to others in the first place.
Your flesh keeps egging you on to take advantage of your gifts and talents while you can; show off what youve got, but
for what purpose and to glorify who or what?
If you can glorify God in what youre doing, then thats great, but if you cant, what good is it? (12:117)

People are always preoccupied with doing something; something to ensure their survival, something to make a name for
themselves, something to prove theyre somebody. And its all about them, whereas the folks who really accomplished
great things for Me, made it about Me, not themselves. (2013:55)

You can keep going. And when its not so obviously because of your own strength and power that you can, and why and
how you can, well, thats a time to bring back your thoughts a bit more to Me and give more of the glory for it all to Me.
Trust Me, therell be a difference between those giving glory to no one else but themselves, and those who manage to live
more humbly, giving glory to Me instead of themselves. (2014:139)

Its good to have respect for the Father and Me, and maybe sometimes even a degree of fear. Fear of failing Our will and of
not reaping Our blessing, and even some sort of punishment instead.
So, not just taking Me or Us for granted, but respecting us, which is a little bit related to fear, especially when not kept up
is better than some sort of familiarity that doesnt keep up a respectful standard.
Sometimes, becoming familiar with Me, or Us, can create attitudes that can put down your respect for Us, and its not
always an advantage having our relationship turning that way.
What it does, sometimes, is bring up a reminder of the fear of the Lord, in other words, reminding you of some respect
thats necessary for those who are above you, and when you manage to do that with fellow humans, how much more so
should it be shown to your Creator?
So, just try to have a little respect for Us, and dont be too familiar with Us, which leads you at times to treating Us with a
bit of familiarity and thus a lack of respect. Try to hand out some honour to Whom honour is due!
A bit of respect for the Father should always be there, even if Hes Love. That doesnt necessarily make Him Someone to
feel all familiar with, because love, unfortunately, isnt exactly something humans are that familiar with (2014:204)

Do a little bit more for Me and My glory and focus a bit more on Me and My role in your life, so that you can play the
desired role for you in My future story on this planet and beyond. (2015:15)

Let Me help you make it! And doing that will also help you give Me greater glory for it all! (2015:83)

Relying on your help from Above, and not your own abilities also means youll be more drawn and geared to giving the
glory where it belongs, and not be too tempted to stick some of it to yourself!
Make sure youre giving the glory to the Father, rather than trying to stick any of it to yourself! Praising Him for anything
good happening to you is a safe method to do so!
Be it for supplying all youve got and are still getting, or whatever happens to you or you manage to do Be faithful in
giving the glory for it all where it belongs, not taking it for granted, or treating it like something youd surely deserve!
(2015:123)

Relying on the strength from Above instead of your own will also let the glory come to the right party of that working team.
The greatness and glory isnt really supposed to settle with those doing the work down there, on Earth. That will come to
you later, when you arrive Up Here! Another reason to set your vision Up to Heaven, and not expect any glory or credit
for whatever you manage to do down on Earth!
So, if youre aware of the fact that anything good accomplished through your service for Me will not require some amount
of glory on your behalf, itll definitely be an advantage in the long run, meaning Ill be able to continue using you and
having you accomplish and do things for Me and My Kingdom.
Remember the path that I took, which led Me to the cross, in order to die for all those who would believe in Me and receive
My Salvation! Its the only way youll be able to render that heavenly gift to others. Not seeking glory in the here and now
for you, but passing any of it on where youll feel it belongs, which shouldnt be yourself, but the One Who made it all
possible to begin with.
Its not that Im so keen on getting the glory, but since the enemys way of seeking and wanting glory for himself has
turned the world into such a mess, We just know that its not a good wavelength on which to be!

440
Lets say, youre much more on the right way to join us on Our heavenly wavelength, where everyone has learned not to
surrender to the temptation of becoming proud, but passing on the glory, which is why praise of God is a really good thing
to stick to, instead of seeking glory for oneself! (2015:132)

Itll definitely enable you to give all the glory to Me when something gets accomplished when youre so weak you know it
couldnt have been done in your own strength alone.
All the more honor and glory will you give to Me for it, if we get things done again together.
Let Me and all of Heavens Power work through you. And once you do, youll begin to realize how much more capable it
will make you to get things done for the Fathers and My Glory!
Give Us all the glory and become filled with lasting joy again at the same time. (2015:133)

Not craving for your own glory might already contribute to Mine instead! So, just dealing with the fact of being a bit
humbled, appearing less glorious to yourself, already sounds a bit more like, Rise and shine and give God the glory is
finally beginning to make sense somewhere.
So, another advantage of humility: bestowing some of the glory to Me and the Father, instead of oneself, and not seeking
it, either. (2015:167)

A lot depends on whether you can give the glory to the Father and Me, and stop craving it for yourself
See, becoming humble enough not to crave any glory and exaltation for your accomplishments, but passing that honor all
on to Us, is a great advantage and spiritual surplus, as far as Were concerned.
(2015:194)

Give the glory to Us, Up Here, without Whose strength and anointing you wouldnt have made it this far! (2016:45)

When folks are more dependent on the Help from Above, theyre easier to use for Heavens glory than when theyre in top
carnal conditions. (2016:79)

If pride doesnt play a leading role in your life, you manage to cope with the humility of giving Someone Else the glory for
what will be accomplished down there through Our Power and Strength.
Through the days to come, needing something like factors to enable your survival will require uttering some prayers
for it, giving Us the glory in your praises for it, and thanking us for the Help from Above, instead of leaning on your own
abilities.
Leaning on the flesh gives yourself the glory. Leaning on the Spirit gives it to Us. (2016:161)

Depending on miracles should help you to give honor where honor is due. (2016:167)

The greater the weaknesses and sins, the greater the challenge for Me to make something useful and fruitful out of you in
spite of it all and the more of the glory goes where it belongs.
The weaker you are, the more of the glory will go where it belongs when I bless you with My Strength in spite of your
physical condition. (2016:198)

Dont feel too bad about your inabilities and weakness, since they draw you closer into the process of doing things in the
right Strength from Above, and will remind you thus to give the glory to Whom it belongs, and draw you closer to Me! (17:9)

When you feel like you wont manage yourself, thats an integrated lesson on whose is the glory, along with a statement on
your dependence on Me. (17:74)

I can strengthen your body, if you give Me the glory for your strength.
And not having much left, and then getting a new bit of it, should make it fairly clear and obvious who the credit and honor
should belong to, shouldnt it?
One of the purposes of weakness: giving the glory for miraculous strength to Him that gave it. (17:96)

Faith is basically giving the Creator the honor for whats been created. Not letting the enemy take over the concept that no
one deserves the honor and glory for that, and in the process aiming at usurping it.
So, one aspect of believing in creation: Giving honor to Him to Whom it is due.
Thanking the Creator for creation is a good and wholesome task.
Appreciation for whatever I bestow upon you shows that someones giving credit down there to Whom and where it
belongs. (17:110)

The toughness of situations to overcome will help you not to take it for granted that youre making it through them in spite
of it, but to give Me some of the honor and glory for helping you and enabling you anyway and regardless, just as I can
help you make it through the toughest of all times coming. (17:118)

By having chosen as weak a warrior as you, I will be able to display My Strength and Power through it, like making it in
spite of your condition.
But all the more I shall be glorified in and through it, and it is one of the purposes of My servants lives: to display My
Presence and Power through them, so that no flesh will boast, but glory and honor will go to the Side they belong. (17:125)
441
The more obvious it becomes that it had to be a miracle to use someone - like Matthew, Paul and even Peter, the more
certain the glory goes in the right direction, and doesnt all land down there at the level of the flesh carnal glory.
The less likely youll make it to become a saint, the more the glory goes to Us for having been able to use you anyway and
in spite of it all.
To bestow honors where theyre most likely due is another matter that can also only be beheld clearly through faith.
After all whos the dude that wants all the glory and worship down there and does all he can to get it being the source
of the whole trouble of history from the beginning?
So, if We can use you in spite of anything, it just sort of aims the glory in the right direction: Up Here, where all things
came from. (17:147)

442
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Gods Ways & Views

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and
My thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isaiah 55:8,9)

Look up to the real stars, the ones who are going to be stars in My Kingdom, and already are in My eyes: The cheerful
givers, the little saints, the nobodies who make My kingdom possible, who give My existence - the existence of it all - a
meaning... the diamonds of dust, without whom My light would be invisible, and without which this World would be in total,
absolute darkness. (I:45)

Soon everything that was hidden shall be revealed. Everything will be open! Now you see through a glass darkly. Then you
shall see as I see. (I:60)

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.
My way up is down and to advance for Me, you might have to step back sometimes. Your natural mind is the greatest
obstacle between you and Me.
Sometimes the opposite of what appears to the carnal mind, is actually the truth.
The first shall be the last. The last shall be the first. Sometimes those who were expected the least to be used by Me, are
the ones who wind up being used the most. For My ways are not your ways, and I choose whoever I will. Sometimes I use
people who were the most unlikely candidates, that it truly might be the excellency of My power in you and not anything of
yourselves, lest Israel say, 'mine own arm hath saved me.' (I:68)

My way up is down and to advance for Me, you might have to step back sometimes. Your natural mind is the greatest
obstacle between you and Me.
Sometimes the opposite of what appears to the carnal mind, is actually the truth. (I:84)

The first shall be the last. The last shall be the first. Sometimes those who were expected the least to be used by Me, are
the ones who wind up being used the most. For My ways are not your ways, and I choose whoever I will. Sometimes I use
people who were the most unlikely candidates, that it truly might be the excellency of My power in you and not anything of
yourselves, lest Israel say, 'mine own arm hath saved me.' (I:106)

My way up is down, to the death of self; self-confidence, self-reliance, self-sufficiency. And up on the wings of a glorious
resurrection from the ashes of that death: a new creature that doesnt need to worry how its going to accomplish or cope
with this, that and the other, but who simply rises above by My power, in God-given joy and carefree trust and faith. (I:144)

The imperfect things in life require more faith of humans to believe in Me, as they figure, how could a perfect God have
created something so vile, so dirty, so low and humiliating? I mean, going to the toilet, changing diapers... you cant tell
me that a perfect God would have planned it all to be thus... Oh, yes, but I did. And for a reason and purpose, as one fine
day theyll all see. Without a comparison to the imperfect, that which is perfect would never be as fully appreciated... Youll
appreciate not having to go to the bathroom anymore in Heaven, a pain-free world, without dirt and pollution... It illustrates
well the filth I have saved you from, through My sacrifice. (I:183)

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 out of it altogether, if need be, and let Me fill it, and fill it, and fill it, and fill it...
From My angle, your problems look pretty ridiculous and irrelevant. Behold, I make all things new, if you give your old
world to Me and let Me remake it into a much better, new and glorious reality! (I:239)

Delusion must be destroyed, in order to build a firm foundation of truth. Think not that I am come to bring peace. I am not
come to bring peace, but a sword to set man at variance with his father, daughter with mother... I bring that sword of
variance, to cut down the veil of false appearances and views which hinder you from doing My work. With every layer of
that curtain that I cut down, you come a little closer to the whole truth. Shed your former concepts of truth and reality and
empty yourself completely and open yourself utterly to Me. (I:241)

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Im asking you to dwell within the realm of My heavenly thought power, so you can be free from the vain, empty, often
useless thoughts of man. This will result in you choosing at every turn of the road, the right one of two possible ways:
mans way or My way. Mans way leading to destruction and death, and My way leading you further on, the high road and
the low road.

443
How can you make sure youre going My way up, and not your own way down? By not relying on your own finite thoughts
and the empty words of man, but by basing all your decisions on My input; My Words, My thoughts, My way, and like this
you will move within the realm of My Spirit, My calm, My heavenly sphere of protection... peace that passeth the
understanding of your mind. (I:254)

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. Its not the strong and mighty who will conquer the Earth in the
end, but the meek shall inherit the Earth. (I:257)

If you give what youve got to Me, youre the perfect and ideal material out of which I like to create My kind of winners.
Winners of souls, thats what I call winners! Nobodies, who dont care what the hell anybody thinks about them, as long as
they can tell another soul about Me, thats what I call real winners! You may look like the total losers to the World, but, hey,
are you willing to look like a total loser to the World in order to become one of My total winners? (I:283)

Mans idea of goodness and righteousness differs so drastically from Gods, and one of mans greatest problems is their
own idea of righteousness and their tendency to judge God for His... (I:286)

The Devils always going around improving Gods creation, correcting His mistakes and supposedly ironing out the
flaws and righting His wrongs... that which the carnal mind deems imperfect. But His ways are just different. That which
man or the Devil often call bad is in reality good, and that which many call unclean, He has called clean...
It always boils down to the question of who they think knows better: they themselves, or God? Thats faith and trust,
where even if you dont fully understand something, you still trust Him to know best. (I:299)

My ways are not your ways, not the ways of the World! In the World, the winner is always in the right, but I sometimes train
My children to become more than conquerors through becoming good losers.
That's the epitome of the difference between My way and the World's: you must die in order that you might really live! (I:315)

Once you start getting My spiritual angle of looking at things, even the things of Earth that surround you, which otherwise
can be a nuisance and a hindrance, all of a sudden start making sense. (I:412)

Choosing Me and My way and My will means choosing life. (I:415)

Usually things look completely different from Up Here than from your personal, subjective "ant's view" of things, and
you're just going to have to trust Me that I'm really telling you the better of two options, although your feelings might be
telling you the opposite! (I:419)

I love it when My followers despise the voices of the world who say that things are obviously so and so, not the way I say.
I love it when you give Me a chance to defy them and prove to them that all their smartness will avail to nothing if they
make their bill without the Keeper of the Inn, the One in charge, Whom they're trying to lock out of His own creation. What
do you think will happen in the long run if you refuse to pay your rent and ruin the house you live in and lock the door and
refuse to let the landlord in? Sooner or later he'll call the police and break down the door to take back what's rightfully his
and kick you out, put you in front of the door, or even in jail.
They may be thoroughly deceived that I may not have any rightful claims to My property, but they'll find out in the long run.
I have enough proofs and witnesses that I'm in charge of this joint, even though the devil may say, "But you've handed it
over to me! I won it in the gamble!" But the game isn't even over yet, and though he may think he's winning - or rather
refuse to believe that he's losing - all things will come back to Me in the end. Of course, everybody hates the landlord's
representatives, the folks he leaves in charge of his building. So, your job isn't an easy one. If you have any weaknesses,
they'll criticize you for them, if you have any strengths, they'll try to make them look like weaknesses. The devil is a
cunning master of propaganda and twisting things around with his lies. He'll convince the masses that black is white and
white is black, before long, so, stay snuggled up to Me in My camp, instead of listening to their distortions of the truth.
(I:439)

Learn to judge according to My criteria! (I:455)

"Man proposes, but God disposes." You may have your little plans, but it's wiser not to make them without Me, because if
your plans don't jibe with Mine, a lot of things can happen that can change your mind and outlook on life, and make you
see the importance and advantage of sticking to My ideas, after all. (I:458)

It's a choice between the ordinary - the System way, doing it like everybody else - and the extraordinary: My way. A choice
between the mountain or the valley. Being a mountain man means to be willing to make a break with the System's ways of
conformity.
My attitude has always been, "to hell with the proper way!"
Those who are willing to forget the "proper" way, the way the System says things ought to be, they are the ones who
change the World and make headlines for Me, not those who choose and prefer to stay within the bounds of the
"ordinary".
I didn't behave the way they wanted because they didn't behave the way I or the Father wanted, in the first place. I had to
show them that the Father wasn't all that fond of their neat little "proper" way, as they thought. In fact, their "proper way"
444
stank to the heavens, it reeked of selfishness, hypocrisy and of the foul stench of self-righteously pretending to be what
they were not. They were not being obedient, and they were not on God's track, and by rejecting Me, they finally proved it.
They showed what they would do with God, if He came down to Earth: betray Him and have Him murdered. That's how in
tune they were with God, and how much they "loved" God.
The conformities to the ways and attitudes of man always reject the ways and attitudes of God.
There's nothing like life on the mountain! Valley life will never ever truly be "it" for you, it'll always only be the same old
"cage". Choose freedom, choose the mountain! Leave the System valley cage of conformity to everybody else's way
behind. (I:460)

When your whole life just seems to revolve around finding an easier way to do it, following the path of the least resistance
constantly, avoiding confrontation, settling for the less challenging compromise, then you can tell that your life hasn't
really been guided by Me. It's just not My way to seek the easy way out, to look for the comfortable way, because that is the
way that seeks to avoid the cross, the hardships and any sacrifice. (I:463)

If I would have stopped for a minute to care about what people thought of Me, I never would have driven the money
changers out of the temple, and there are many other things I wouldn't have done. I could have been embarrassed when
the harlot came to wash My feet with her tears, but I couldn't have cared less about what the Scribes and Pharisees
thought of Me, because I went by standards of the heart and not the clichs and superficial standards of the people.
You see, the goal is to train and teach the World in God's ways, not to accept and compromise around her ways.
Compromise with the World will always be a temptation until you learn to have conviction to know and stand up for what
you know is God's correct standard. (I:467)

Keep trusting that My ways are higher than yours, and that as hard to believe as it may seem right now, every little detail
will fall into place and wind up making perfect sense in its contribution to the Big Picture! (I:478)

My road is the road of sacrifice, of surrendering your own freedom to do with your time whatever you want, in order to
invest more of it in others, and their benefit. If that road would look like a pleasure trip, it wouldn't be a test of faith.
You ought to know by now that your own way, with your own little reservations and conditions, is not really the road to true
happiness. (I:486)
`
You've got to look in the spirit, through My eyes, through the eyes of love, faith and hope. (I:495)

I have chosen the weak things of this World to confound the mighty; the foolish, to confound the wise, and that which is
not to bring to naught that which is...
I didn't choose the young, strong, noble prince of Egypt to rescue My people, but the old, lonely and strange shepherd
from the wilderness... (I:500)

My history books look quite different from those of the world, where the great heroes were the conquerors and big head
honchos. Although I use those characters, too, the way My history books are written, is that they revolve around the true
heroes and heroines behind the scenes, the unheard of mothers and little people who day in day out sacrificed their lives
for someone else, not taking lives from countless others in battle, but giving life.
All the little things that happened behind the scenes that I engineered in order to teach this person that lesson or bring
that child or that person to another pivotal point of decision that would influence and change their lives and those of many
others for the good... The meek shall inherit the Earth, and even though they may be making the least racket and no news
at all, much less history, in this World, you will see that My accounts of history as to who was truly more important to bring
about the truly good changes that really mattered, will sound quite different.
Choose to become one of the few to see things from My angle. Reject the way of the loud and proud. (I:513)

Catch a glimpse of the way I see it!

I've had to let the entire older generation of the children of Israel become extinguished in the desert, and in the modern day
version, it is those who trust in and look at the flesh who are going to have to become extinguished, and only those who
truly trust and rely on My Spirit will make it in the end. (I:517)

Remember that My way up is down, so that even when you're feeling down and no good, and at the end of your rope, that
may be when in My eyes you're closest to the top! (I:559)

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." How do you find My joy? By looking at things through My eyes, the eyes of the
spirit, which see the blessing where others see burdens. (I:561)

My way of seeing things often very strongly differs from yours. (II:6)

Even a dark chapter in your life will work together for good, making you stronger, and that's what it's all about:
strengthening. The easy way is one of the surest ways to be led astray. If it's tough and difficult and you cling to My hand
in desperation for every step of the way, knowing that otherwise you won't make it, then you can be pretty sure that you're
on the right path, and that this is My way for you. (II:60)

Let them wear you out just like I did, because the way up is down. (II:66)
445
What is called high among men, I call low, and what they call low I call high, and that which is highly esteemed among men
is often an abomination to Me.
So, keep walking My "low" road, happily and humbly and gratefully! There's nothing to be ashamed of! (II:94)

Learn to see things through My eyes, perceive them with My mind and catch My heavenly vision for them. Many times you
still call that unclean which I have called clean. What doesn't make sense to you, often makes perfect sense to Me. (II:114)

It behooves you to take on My view and way of looking at things if you really want the truth and to convey nothing but the
truth! (II:118)

Can a man argue with God? Well, more often than not, they do think so. They don't see the sense in it all, so they question
the whole thing... "Lord, aren't You making a mistake here? How can You expect this of Me?" (II:136)

There's a difference between the things that make sense to you and what makes sense to Me. For Me, any lack of love is
closer to insanity than a genuine need for love and an honest expression of a need for love. (II:142)

The humble, meek and lowly way is My way, and basically all others are not. (II:145)

I want you to see things from My perspective and see what I consider success, which is often a lot of barely-to-be-
detected-with-the-naked-eye ground work below the surface. (II:149)

Sometimes you've just got to forget everything you've learned in order to find the truth for the moment! You've got to
forget those circumstances which framed your condition that formed your view of things, in other words, just smash the
whole picture (icon=idol) of your perception of things and let Me make it over completely! (II:161)

What matters is that you see things My way! (II:171)

I want you to open your door more for Me to cleanse your life and teach you My pure, giving and edifying ways of love and
not the worldly ways of lust! (II:173)

Ask Me to open your eyes and to renew your vision! All the fancy images of distraction of the enemy are disappearing, and
now you're ready for My picture! Seek it with your whole heart. (II:174)

It's really true: "God's way up is down." It's just that so few people want to go My way, precisely for that reason: it takes
them downhill. Down to the defeat of the flesh, the revelation of its uselessness, and up to the victory of the spirit and the
revelation of its superiority and supremacy! (II:178)

Everything in this physical life is vile, faulty and almost evil in comparison to My heavenly Realm, and unclean, because
you are all under the curse of the Fall. So, if I can use any, I can use all. As long as there's any kind of noble ambition, as
long as there's any kind of receptivity for what's good, I'll use that, regardless of the circumstance of the person having
picked the wrong religion or having grown up in it.
My ways are pretty "weird" sometimes and hard to put in a box, and thus it can happen that I use something that is
apparently "from the other side" in order to bring about My plans and purpose.
Nobody can really tell Me what I'm supposed to do or not, which is one privilege I have as God and the Master of the game.
The devil and some of his people try the same, and they try to play God, too, but as the entire universe will see in time, We
shall see Who will have been best at playing it.
Napoleon was one of those and was told "Man proposes but God disposes." All you can do is commit them into My hands
and trust that I will show them their limitations.
I use all kinds of methods in order to keep the battle alive. I can't allow My people to fall asleep or fall into a false sense of
security, thinking there is nothing wrong and no one to fight. The world is in the hands of the enemy, and as long as that is
the case, there will never be true peace in this life for My true followers.
So, marvel not at My ways, nor wonder whether these things can really be so. Nothing is impossible with Me. You can't put
Me in a box, you can't tie Me to a certain club or group of people or claim that I belong exclusively there or in this corner or
that drawer...
I like to keep some things a mystery until the time has come to make it all clear. Trust Me in this also, that I have a good
and perfect reason for withholding the meaning of some of the things from you that you don't understand...
Sometimes it just takes Me a little while to persuade some of My prophets, servants or kings to yield to do My will. It's
when they finally get to the point where they realize that there's no point in arguing with Me or thinking they know better
than Me, no point in questioning or doubting Me, that all they can do is trust that I know best, that they will finally consent
to just letting Me have My way in their lives... (II:196)

I love to answer your questions. But I don't always like to hand you the answer on a silver platter and tell you the whole
score in advance. I like to keep some things a mystery, at least for a while and long enough to give you time to make an
effort to use your brain to find out what you can about it.
When it seems like God failed, only those who loyally believe in their hearts that He really is infallible can keep believing,
trusting and obeying Him.
446
The temptation is there to think, "What is He doing? That's not right..." And the temptation of self-righteousness, of
thinking you could or would have done better. That choice is there, for everyone. Constantly. That's the plan of free choice.
It may seem a little unfair to you that I'm having to use all these adverse and difficult situations in order to get people to
allow Me to use them - and for them to use Me, seek My wisdom and answers, etc. - but that is really only because you see
it from your own subjective point of view. You like to have things easy. That's your personality. And as soon as things get
tough, you complain, "Thats not fair!" But that's where you have to trust Me when I say, "Well the easy way may look best
to you, but it doesn't to Me!" You may think the easy way is the best, but I see it differently! To you, the easy, comfortable
and smooth way, the path of the least resistance and friction may seem the most desirable, but I say, "Not so." (II:199)

If you learn to see things My way, you'll learn to view the hardest parts in life not as the worst, but as the best. You used to
see My crucifixion as something dreadful, something that people wonder why it had to happen, until you realized that this
was actually the main purpose for which I came, My greatest task and most important "job," My destiny. (II:214)

If you're faithful to do those things which would qualify you as a nobody in this world, be assured that you'll be a star in
Mine! There are a lot of "nobodies" Here who by far outshine the greatest "stars" on Earth (1.Cor.1:28). (II:222)

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! (II:231)

The more time you spend with Me, the more you will adopt My viewpoints, and the less the worries, cares and problems of
this life, which the devil will try to make seem so all-encompassing, will affect you. You will know that in spite of any
appearances, I am in full control. You won't see the loss, but you will seek that which I want you to gain through it. You
won't complain about the hardships, but you will rejoice over the lesson and additional fighting skills of endurance and
perseverance you will acquire through them.
Through the loss you may have not gotten what you wanted, but I got what I wanted: not a spoiled and pampered you,
pampered by the fulfillment of your heart's desires, but a more humble you, humbled by seeing what your own mistakes
have brought upon you, and someone more loving, seeking more what you can give instead of only seeking to take.
Ultimately, this is much more what you would want to be, too, so, I may not be granting you your immediate, temporary
desire, but your ultimate, eternal desire. (II:234)

Never assume that I only work according to certain patterns, for I use anything and everything, and My ways are simply
unorthodox and often totally unexpected.
That's why you've got to stay in tune with Me and forget about trying to figure things out in your own mind. Sometimes I
even bring about victories, a new direction or clarity, by telling you to go the wrong direction, just so you'll find out pretty
quick where it's not at. Sometimes you've just got to try the wrong door, which has been torturing your mind with
temptation or curiosity, and once you find out that it's a closed and locked door, you won't bother about it anymore and
can fully concentrate on the door and path I really want you to go. (II:239)

A lot of things happened to you that seem to lack rhyme and reason, but don't they all sooner or later wind up making
sense after all?
Some things may not have happened as you would have wished, but you are learning that those things that apparently
went wrong in your life are the biggest sources of wisdom and invaluable lessons that will hold their value for eternity!
(II:242)

You need to learn to differentiate between the way I see "good" and the way you do. What you call "bad" I might call good.
Sometimes the greatest blessings I bestow on you come in disguise. You don't recognize them as such. But as you learn
to see with My eyes and learn to take things by faith, learn to live by the Rom.8:28 factor, your perspectives will change
and you'll see the "handwriting of good within evil." (II:243)

Those who sit back and criticize basically don't do anything good to make the world any better!
Do you think I'm going to say, "Hey, listen, buddy, you should have waited until you got all the details straight before you
opened your mouth"? - That's perhaps the way some see and picture Me, because their picture of Me is just an extension
of their own self-righteousness and need to feel superior in order to justify their failure to do what My people have done
and continue to do, to excuse their lack of guts and conviction to change the world with whatever little bit you have at your
disposal. They're like the servant that buried his talents in the ground because he was afraid.
They're the same bunch who always criticize My unorthodox ways of doing things.
"Did God Make A Mistake?" A lot of people sure would think so. But they're going to be surprised! They're going to be
surprised and shocked to find out just how different I truly am from their narrow-minded way of thinking! (II:255)

I'm Son of an unconventional God with unconventional tactics, and one of the things I resist most is the moment anyone
tries to put Me in a box and tells Me, "But this is the way it's supposed to be, because it's the way it has always been!" No,
it isn't! Not if I have come up with a better idea, and you might find yourself lagging behind by sticking to the old way
instead of following Me and My new, revolutionary methods! (II:275)

447
I refuse to let anybody put Me into any kind of box of what they think I ought to do or how I ought to run My business. I can
use only those who accept My wisdom as the supreme standard, who drink in the radical waters I have given for this time
and age, to fight the battle over the souls of men in history's darkest hour.
I use what nobody thinks I can use.
You must see in a completely different way than the way the world sees!
My way is always the new way, the contrary to the usual way, the revolutionary, unselfish way - the way of faith! (II:277)

My way up is down, there's pretty much no exception to that, and so, if someone constantly seeks their way up to the
sunny peaks in pursuit of selfish pleasure and "good times," they will inevitably land down on the rock bottom of an empty
soul, because they're just missing the goal. (II:278)

Since it doesn't come natural to you to do things My way, you might have to ask Me for help to be successfully loving.
(II:294)

My way up is down. Those who make it only up, up, and further up in this world usually do so because they're more
attuned to the god of this world, the one into whose hand it is temporarily given. Those who are attuned to Me, those who
seek eternal values and things which last beyond material gain and physical pleasure, will often have to pay the price of
suffering for it, the way of learning from deep, dark and trying experiences. (II:307)

Seek My mind, and My ways of seeing things: the beauty in the imperfect, in the humble and childlike, and escape the
thinking of the carnal mind, which will only criticize, belittle and complain about all the innumerable little imperfections you
see in creation! (II:310)

My preferred way is the unconventional way. (II:402)

I'm influencing you to see things My way so that you can inspire and help others to see things My way, too. (II:417)

Some of the immediate rewards you get in this life are the joy and satisfaction of knowing you have found My perfect will,
and that you can see a lot of things more the way that I see them than most other people do. (II:420)

It pays to see things the way I see.

And as far as looks are concerned, I have made My view on this clear a long time ago in 1.Sam.16:7: "The Lord seeth not as
man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. (II:445)

My way is a very hard way to walk for the proud. Blessed are the humble. (II:447)

If you could step back and see things with the clarity, sharpness and intensity that We see things, there wouldn't be a dull
moment in your life.
Everything is immensely significant, much more than you realize. There is no such thing as "insignificant" to Me. The tiny,
seemingly insignificant factor that might not be of any importance to you might be the very one on which I hinge My future
decisions and judgments.
Strive to catch a glimpse of My view of it, and what seemed large and important to you may shrink in size compared to
something you hardly even noticed or paid any attention to beforehand.
The art of learning to truly see. It's expedient for you to see with the eyes of the spirit if you're going to make it to your
ultimate destiny.
You've got to be in tune with Me, see things as I do, value things according to My standards of what's important. (II:493)

My ways are not your ways, and that My ways sometimes include unexpected, seeming detours, which - if you trust Me - might
land you further down the road, and better equipped than before, in the long run. (II:572)

I never imitated the System's way; I came up with My very own, straight-forward and direct way.
My way was love, truth and humility. Adapt to My style instead of theirs!
It's tough to go My way, because it means being willing to take the pain, instead of dishing it out. It means to be ready to
receive the ridicule, ready to be laughed at, instead of being the one who ridicules and laughs at others. It means taking up
the cross yourself, instead of nailing others to crosses with your words. (II:579)

I'm teaching you to see good things everywhere, new things, or the new side of things, which you might not have been able to see
previously. I'm trying to teach you to see My way, and not be stuck in the enemy's rut and negative way of looking at things. (II:599)

Strive to get to a point where you can see things My way, so that you know what really needs to be changed, and what
doesn't! (II:623)

There are still so many things to show, so many aspects to share from My heavenly point of view, to learn to see the
spiritual causes behind things. (III:50)

Be seeking My righteousness, and the way I see things, not your own! (III:55)

448
Youve got to look deeper, below the surface, and see what I've got to say about it, and how I see things. That's what My
Truth does, and bathing yourself in the Truth of My Words: it helps you to see things My way, and not the way your carnal
mind would interpret things. It tells you, "things are not what they seem." (III:62)

Theyre all going to get a surprise in the end to find out how I have seen things all along: the totally different view - God's
view! (III:81)

Youve got to adopt My all-embracing, all-forgiving view! (III:84)

Strive now for that which is perfect, that you may learn of Me and of My ways!
It's just your own view, your own perception that still sees the flaws. I cannot even see them anymore.
I see the light and the beauty, and all I feel for you is love. For Me, that's really seeing. When you can look through the eyes
of love, and all you see and feel is love, then you can really see. All the rest is only the space between the stepping stones
that lead you there.
In My eyes, it is all perfect. (III:87)

There are those who are supposed to be going My way and supposedly doing things My way, but have been tricked into
doing things the old carnal and selfish way.
What will determine whether you're really doing things according to My way and My will or not, is your actions. (III:96)

If you follow the enemy and his way, you'll reap enmity.
The reversal of that process is My way of friendship, of Love, of peace, the original way; it's "back to the Garden." - Back
to the place where all is in harmony with each other, with its Creator. - The way of union, of unity.
The only reason why I cause division is because I must expose those whose hearts are divided from Me, those who are not
really on My side, who don't seek My ways. (III:103)

To become truly one of My leaders who truly leads people in My direction and the way I want for them to pursue, it takes
the willingness to let go of all that you think is the right way, and a determination not to settle for any delusion of "My way,"
namely the temptation to allow your way to become what you try to sell as "My way."
No more fakes, no more artificial hype, no more one's own excitement or personal ambition or pet doctrine, modus
operandi or the way folks think it ought to be done, but only My way! (III:145)

You must learn to see with My eyes, to think My thoughts and to speak My Words, and you simply don't learn that by
constantly being surrounded by people trying to be funny. (III:241)

It's all about learning the futility of the ways of man, compared to the ways of God.
Youre learning how vain and futile the carnal efforts of man are, and how his way, brought to perfection, will only result in
the ways of death.
You've had to realize just how much man's ways oppose God's way. You've had to learn that God's way up is down.
You've had to go down that road and taste from your own experiences, the hurt of your falls, just where it is that man's way
is leading, and how much better God's way is, in comparison. (III:269)

You've got to fight evil according to My way, otherwise you're doomed to defeat. (III:280)

How much do you see through My eyes, and do you see and hear what I perceive, not the impression or picture the enemy
and the world portray? (III:297)

It costs a price to walk the straight and narrow path that leadeth unto life. Entrance through the door may be for free, but it
costs something to stay on that path. (III:331)

My way of focusing is on a level of personal relationships.

If you keep in mind what I told you about seeing your folks the way I see them, namely the way I know they're going to be,
then you realize it's not a mistake to be looking at others in a positive light.
To become bitter and sarcastic about everything is definitely not My solution, nor My way. Like this, they become part of
the problem, instead of part of the solution; part of the negative forces, instead of part of the positive forces that are
supposed to make a difference. (III:340)

You won't make it, trying to please both, the System and Me. If you want it the System's way, then go the System's way, but
don't try to keep pretending that both is possible: going My way and the System's, at the same time! (III:357)

Your trial is My way of keeping you on your toes, alert, not feeling too much at home and at ease in this world. It's My way
of reminding you that there is a war going on.
There are some things about Me and My ways that elude you, and that you will thus have to take by faith. (III:366)

My view of a situation could never possibly be hopeless. I always see possibilities and hope where you see none.
You know My ways. Quitting is not for Me, so don't ask Me, "Don't You think I should better quit?"
That's not My way, My thing. (III:367)
449
No matter how smart you are, theres still yet another point of view to explore, and thats Mine, and thats something you
dont get by figuring out, but by asking. (III:398)

Sometimes when you think youre doing great, you turn out to be doing not so great, after all, and those times when youre
really broken are often the times Im using you the most.
That ought to teach you not to resist and fight against those times of brokenness, but rather to embrace and welcome
them. Its another aspect and facet of seeing things My way, instead of the carnal way. (III:401)

If things aren't exactly going your way, maybe you should look around for My way, and which way I might want them. (III:413)

Whenever you feel tempted to wonder what Im doing, just get a glimpse of My viewpoint of things! (III:425)

I can see things you cant.

Try to catch a glimpse of the way I see things! Try to get a view from My perspective!
True maturity is all about letting go of your own biased view and swap it for a new one, the view of the One you trust
simply knows better than you. (III:436)

Its becoming more expedient than ever not to rely on the carnal mind anymore, but to make sure you get ahold of My
Spirit, My view and My opinion on matters. (III:455)

You may not see each other as I do, but some day you will. (III:457)

There is no other way than the humble way, if you want to walk Gods way and do things His way and My way. The only
way to do things when youre walking Gods way is the humble way. (III:484)

My Road is a tough one, full of trials, and it may well be the toughest road for anyone to choose who wants to serve Me to
the fullest in this day and age. There will be oodles of well-reasoned arguments from the rational mind that will easily
dissuade you from taking that road, and nobody will blame you nobody except yourself, that is, when youll reach the
end of your road and youll see all the blessings you missed out on because you listened to them.
Part of your cross that youre carrying for Me is the Road - the epitome of that strait and narrow gate and pathway that
leadeth unto life in this day and age, and few there be that find it.
Youre either going down System Road or My Road. In the end, there is no in-between. Youll either serve God or Mammon.
And what other way can you think of, not to serve Mammon? (III:561)

Just because Gods way doesnt coincide exactly with mans way doesnt necessarily mean that its bad. In fact, just a little
more of wait and see will reveal just how much better Gods way will turn out to have been all along than mans way,
especially since generally, man tends to fall for the explanations and dogmas of the deceiver. (IV:111)

Let Me decide what I deem you ought to be occupying your time with, trusting that My ways are not your ways, My
thoughts not yours, and Mine as high above yours as the skies above the Earth!
I love to take the unconventional way. (IV:204)

I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, and the way of lies and lies and ever more lies is simply not My way, but clearly
the opposite.
If you judge everything by the criteria of false and true, youll see that there is quite a gap between My ways and those the
cohorts of the enemy avail themselves of, which make the two parties quite distinguishable from each other.
Their way is theirs and Mine is Mine, and never the twain shall meet. (IV:211)

Natural reasoning and My ways of doing things simply dont jibe.

So, whenever you get tempted thinking there must be something better, something nicer, something more proper, more
regular or normal, a more accepted way or road for you to follow, think twice. Maybe that better way is just what the
devil has to offer as his plausible alternative to My unorthodox and unusual ways (IV:271)

Theres a difference between those who have personal agendas and those who are yielded to letting Me have My way in
their lives the my-will-be-done-people, and the Thy-will-be-done-people.
It takes a conscious effort to be a Thy-will-be-done type of person, since the ego will constantly crop up with own
desires and agendas, and it takes that awareness and conscious choice to put My will above your own, or at least to keep
an attitude that grants Me the right of ways in cases where our interests might be at conflict. (IV:422)

Youve always got to make sure that youre not compromising too much with the ways of the world, but grant Me and My
ways and My input the priority over the other options! (IV:423)

My way isnt always necessarily the politically correct way.

Trust Me that My way is indeed the better way! (IV:469)

Trust that My way is the more correct and appropriate way of looking at things!
450
The difference between My way of doing things and that of the world, is that My way is perfect and so much more intricate
in comparison with the superficial way that especially materialistic people do, judge and measure things.
A whole lot more detail and information is involved in My method, in which no factor is being left excluded, whereas mans
methods are usually full of holes and missing oodles of factors theyre not even aware of, especially when it comes to
judging one another
Be comforted, theres a more accurate way of judging things, and thats My way! (IV:488)

in My eyes those are more blessed who lack and hunger, and who arent so satisfied with the state of the world around
them. Its a more realistic point of view, and one that coincides more with the general state of affairs, not just one mans or
familys or groups immediate situation, largely ignoring the plight of the poor. (IV:492)

The believer can be sure that I will make a way, even where there is no way and he cant see a way. (IV:523)

Many things are simply not the way they seem, when it all comes down to it; and maybe that which you call civilized is
really savage in My eyes... (2011:37)

Its all a matter of seeing things from the right angle; and even if you dont always do that right away, be thankful that
youre able to get My view on things, letting Me show you My angle (2011:113)

Didnt I say, Judge not by appearance, but judge righteous judgment? And you can only do that if youve got a very
good grasp on My way of looking at things. (2011:116)

Youve got to cope with the fact that My way of thinking is different than yours, and some day youre probably all going to
be thankful for that. I still choose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak to confound the
mighty. (2011:121)

If you observe My way of operating throughout history youll find that Ive used this pattern all along, of using unorthodox
methods. (2011:126)

Havent I always chosen the despised and labeled and those that the better people looked down on to defy their
reasoning and to show that I work in different ways than they would tell Me I should?
Its those rare exceptions were looking for. (2012:41)

The situation brings out the dire need of seeing things differently, of adjusting your standards and criteria, and adapt them
more to Mine.
Im pointing out the drastic extent to which your perceptions differ from Mine. Theres a greater difference between My way
of seeing things and yours than you may have been aware of. (2012:48)

Do things more My way, in the way of trusting Me more for your sustenance, back in the way and life of faith, closer to Me,
stronger dependence on Me, more than on your own arm. (2012:123)

My ways are not your ways, nor are My thoughts and way of thinking to be compared with yours.
You cant figure out how My mind works; but that doesnt stop Me from sharing My mind or as much of it as I can with
whoever is willing to believe and curious enough to get a piece of it. (2012:124)

Everybody knows that God loves the good. What is really good news for most, though, is that He also loves the sinners;
and if more people knew that, a lot of misery in the world could be reduced.
I listen to your side of the story and sympathize, but I also appreciate your taking the time to listen to Mine. Get a bit more
of a glimpse of My side of the story and point of view, and youll get a more accurate picture of the workings of all things;
the intricacy that lies within them, and the mysteries that will unfold as you show enough interest.
Blessed are those who are interested in more than just their own side of the story. (2012:126)

I like to do things in what youd consider unusual ways. But if everything would always work out in such an obviously
logical way to pursue, the way everyone would expect they do, then where does faith come in? (2012:127)

My view on your needs differs from your own. I simply know better what you truly need. (2012:142)

While the situation of leanness and concern might look somewhat bleak to you, from My angle its a necessary step and a
valuable factor in the equation. The need and vacuum have to be there first, that instigate you and prompt you to reach out
the hand of faith to flip that switch that cranks up My heavenly machinery of your behalf. (2013:9)

Try to put My notions, My judgment and evaluation above your own, and maybe itll help to put it all more into the proper
perspective for you (2013:52)

Even if there is no way that you can see, I can make a way where there is no way. Maybe there isnt anything there that you
can see right now that would offer any kind of hope for a way out, for a way up, for a way to make things better and for

451
improvement. But maybe I will yet make it, Amen? Remember that Im the Maker, and I can do it and make it for you, and
through and with Me you can also make it, so hang on, hold out and keep going! (2013:78)

The clue is in learning to see things the way I do, in exchange for your own, earthly viewpoint, and how are you ever going
to learn that, unless you spend the necessary time with Me and give Me the necessary priority? (2013:87)

If you try to make it according to their game, you easily become discouraged when you compare your own state and how
youre faring in it, with theirs, since theyre obviously a whole lot better at it.
So, why not drop out of their game altogether and return back into Mine, the Game of Love and Faith, where not the one
who can rake in the most dough is the winner, but the one who gives the most, and dares to believe most? Where not the
acquisition of material possessions is the goal, but the reaching out to, touching and winning of souls?
If you want truly satisfactory results from your life, why not try My way, and see how thatll work out? (2013:90)

Turn to Me and My ways more often, and ideally, as permanently as possible, since youre coming closer to the Spirit
World as time goes by, and you should prepare for it as much as you can! (2014:2)

Only looking at the Spirit by faith can keep you on My way of Eternity. (2014:8)

I can make you better if you choose My way; I can cause you to improve. Just choose My way, and Ill make things improve
for you. (2014:61)

Learning not to put money at the top of the list of what you want and need might be the basic criterion I ask of you in order
to make it truly My way. (2014:62)

Think about My way, and do it that way, the proper way, okay? (2014:79)

Sometimes following Me and going My way includes the lesson that youre not the only one who deserves love, but you
can be humble enough to give some of that love to others. (2014:91)

Think about My ways, and how I didnt try to absolutely be the most famous dude around I was against a lot of things
going on because of and through the leaders of My part of the world; and showing them I was against them made them
decide to kill Me
So, why keep on trying to become famous in this world? Doesnt really make sense to do so, does it?
Sometimes its best to stay humble - Most of the time, in fact. (2014:118)

When you get off of My way, its time for you to learn again what it can be like on the other guys (2014:159)

Its fairly educational to discover the difference between peoples ways and Mine the ways of the world, and the
opposite. (2014:174)

The more youll pray, the more youll make your day and stay on My way! (2015:32)

Sometimes Mine and the Fathers ways from Above are different than your earthly, worldly and temporal concepts, and you
need to put greater trust in it, that what We choose for you are the better ones, and better than what youd have chosen for
yourself, in the end result!
Have enough faith in Me or Us, that We know better whats the best way and destiny to choose for you! (2015:69)

Being stuck on some of those temptations doesnt really make it easier; especially not when theyre pushing or dragging
you in the opposite direction of where I want you to go. And since you still want to follow Me, I have to make it clear to you
when somethings not My way. (2015:92)

According to My Way it will be best for you! Dont just try to figure out and follow your own way, which is another groove
that has been cooked up by the system these days, but if you have a closer look, youll also see that its exactly what the
enemy chose for himself, which became the beginning of all evil, pretty much.
Thats why Follow Me! is one of My main lines. Its offering a different path than the one the devil stepped out on, and is
trying to get everyone else to do, too: Ones own way, and following oneself and their own ideas. (2015:132)

My ways may always be quite a bit different than you would have chosen with your own, carnal mind, but as time goes on
youll recognize that what I decided will turn out to have been the better choice for you. (2015:156)

The miracle groove and Power from Above: Thats My way! (2015:164)

Show folks around you more of Me and My ways! (2015:221)

Let Me have My way, and keep it as your dogma: Have Thy way, or Thy will be done, as I taught My followers to pray!
Surrender to My will and the Fathers, and let us have Our Way without complaining about it too much! Amen? (2015:248)

452
Lifes a lesson on what not to do, how not to behave and act, if you want to do it the proper way Our way. It includes the
experience of learning about the mistakes one can make by being governed mainly by selfish intentions, being concerned
about ones own welfare, instead of that of others.
Choose My way above the devils ways! (2016:57)

Our call is: Come back to Us and Our way! And away from the trend of the malicious bunch of deceivers thats getting
ready to reign the planet for the last and most horrendous stretch of that part of world history! (2016:71)

Rendering your time to Me is in My view one of the best and most valuable things you can do. (2016:97)

If it makes you feel less at home in that world what youre going through, take it as an advantage from My point of view!
The more proofs you get that you just dont belong there, the better! (2016:105)

As different as My views are compared to those of the world let Me say the wiser thoughts of the aged are impressing Me
more than the high intelligence of their youth and which one is more lasting? (2016:118)

My way isnt your way when it comes to the flesh, and if the path Im directing you on strikes you as something weird or
strange, just trust in Me, that My way is better than your own ways of turning and doing things, even if they may seem a bit
strange to you for starters! Get used to having to do things My way, instead your own! Even if it may strike you as a bit
strange for starters.
Remember that My ways arent the ways of the world! So, if Im leading you a different way than what youre used to from
your surroundings, of being used to your own abilities, see the advantage of Me directing you My way instead of your own,
even if thats what youre more used to! (2016:150)

You cant change the world by going the same way and following the same old ruts everybody else does!
My ways are different. And thats one way you can discern that theyre Mine. (2016:151)

See things a bit more My way the totally different way from the ways of the world to look at things! (2016:153)

Even if its a tough road, cheer up! Its My Road! (2016:156)

One thing about My way is that you have to get used to the fact that its not the easy way out! (2016:181)

No idea how youre gonna make it? Well, it may sound bad to you, but sounds good to Me, because like this its going to
be easier for us to give you the right kind of idea. An idea of how to make it the right kind of way: Our way, instead your
own! (2016:183)

Seeing the world the way I do may not seem like an advantage at first
Just trust Me, that its the more realistic point of view of the conditions of a place run by our enemy! (2016:184)

Just remember that Gods ways are different from yours, and different in the end will turn out to be definitely
better! (2016:186)

Its pretty much the only way to do it: Our way, instead of the common way of the majority down there. (2016:188)

It takes a lot more than mere natural human sense to figure out the sense and purpose in all things.
- One of the aspects of which Gods ways are so different from the ways of man.
Its like: the ways of the flesh are born of flesh, and the ways of the Spirit are of spirit, and you should know by now which
of the two ways is the longer lasting one.
Gods views the long term views of things may differ quite drastically from mans views, but in the end will turn out to
bring perfect results.
The ways of God are largely the opposite of the ways of the world so different; mainly because the one chosen as the
spiritual leader of the world has got completely different views as well seeking his own glory, when as the world
eventually will see not really deserved. (17:17)

Keep believing and trusting in Us and Our way, no matter what happens; even if you cant manage to see the good in it yet!
Amen? (17:27)

If the tough circumstances make you feel like wanting to run out of that world, well, in My eyes, and from My point of view,
a positive reaction and advantage! Anyone who doesnt feel like they fit in down there is much more likely to be used by
Me and for My service, and Our positive, ultimate change of the world. (17:31)

Learning not to be concerned about the opinions of others around, and not to get trapped into the groove of man-pleasing
is one of the most important lessons concerning doing things Gods way, not peoples or ones own. (17:34)

Just remember that the ways of the world arent what its at according to My concern and point of view, but theyre largely
directed by Satans ways, not My way. (17:37)
453
My ways are different ways, and ways of changes. (17:41)

Dont blame Me for allowing that supposed strength and in reality weakness in Our eyes, to go down a bit, in order to get
you to lean and rely more on the Wisdom, Help and Power from Above instead of your own capabilities!
See the good in it that Were going to be able to have Our way with you, and have you walk Our way, instead of following
the vast majoritys trend to do things their own! And you know where that will lead to. (17:46)

Remember the difference between the ways of the world and Our ways!
Remember My different way of seeing and judging things: great is small in My eyes, few greater than many in many
aspects, low better than high, etc.! (17:52)

Never know what I can use.

Another example of the minds from Above working in different ways than the earthly ones.
So, get a bit of that faith for using stuff and folks that may now look that useful on the surface!
In that way, Gods ways are full of surprises. (17:53)

Try to see things from My aspect and point of view, which is simply quite different from the carnal way! (17:57)

Once you get to clearly see My way instead of the usual way of the flesh, youre ready to accept and choose My Way as
yours. Youll see the type of difference itll make, not only in quality but also capability. (17:95)

Lower states of places can indicate that theyre on Gods way up.
The stronger the grip and impact of the world on people, the lower the spiritual aspect from My point of view. (17:111)

You have to recognize it as a fact that We cant always and constantly allow you to have things your way, but you should
rather get tuned in to Our way, especially with drastic changes you wouldnt be able to handle or cope with in your own
strength and understanding. (17:113)

According to Our ways, its a progress for Our believers to learn to rely on Our heavenly Strength, and that need usually
arises through the appearance of physical weakness.
Its a better way, not relying on ones own ways of the flesh.
Learn from experience about the different results of staying on My way, or not and your own instead, all depending on your
choices! (17:115)

Difference from the crowd is an asset from Our heavenly point of view.
Stick to Our point of view, and definitely dont accept the enemys!
Remember the importance of a heavenly viewpoint! (17:119)

Without Me, ye can do none of the things considered a positive in life from heavenly points of view. (17:121)

Dont feel bad you cant make it without input from My Spirit! Even if it may not look like an advantage from other folks
point of view, see it from the point of view of the Word that was made flesh! (17:123)

Get into the Sources of whats going to help and enable you to make it in spite of the circumstances only stating the
opposite: that there is no way!
My Way has always been quite different from the common way, and I always like to defy and prove the opposite of what the
devil proclaims and makes appear as impossible. (17:128)

From My point of view, your weakened state is an asset for Me, since it just lets Me work through you a lot better than
when you were so confident in and relying on your own strengths and energies (17:134)

It may strike you as a tough task to make the best of the worst, but just see it as one of My ways and tactics quite apart
from what the world would consider as normal!
One of My ways: not to use exactly what would be expected of Me to use for My work to get done but just using
someone or something unexpected to give the world some surprises. (17:141)

Remember and be aware of the difference between My ways and the worlds! (17:142)

 What Jesus Had 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 simple act of drinking in and receiving and believing the Word is already an active part of fighting the devil, as you will
defeat doubts, thoughts of the enemy, clearing out his cobwebs and keeping your mind and heart clean of any of his dirt.
Now ye are clean through the Words which I have spoken unto you.
Theres nothing more important you can do than absorb and drink in My cleansing, purifying, strengthening Words. (I:12)

Every moment you spend with Me, is time invested wisely. Every Word you glean from My lips is another wealth of those
true and lasting riches. You do not wrong in sitting at My feet and gleaning those riches. (I:16)

I should always be your first and foremost focus point of communication! Without Me you could make a mess of things.
Only Im way out there and know whats ahead, where the dangers lie and I can show you things thou knowest not
(Jer.33:3). (I:21)

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 and suffer from their neglect. (I:62)

Dont do anything without Me! Dont move until you hear My voice or get My sign, This is the way, walk ye in it! (I:75)

Ask Me about the things that are going on in your life! There is so much to learn from all youre going through. (I:103)

If you really want to serve Me, then start by sitting down at My feet and listening to Me daily! (I:124)

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 and whispers your helpers would like to give you.
And always check in with Me and them before you start doing something new. (I:126)

When you cant look anywhere but up, lying flat on your backs, I can get through to you the best and reveal My will to you.
(I:143)

Every individual situation is different and has its individual solution. Seek Me for the specific answer! (I:147)

Be a sample of a God-follower! You dont have to know anything except how to call on Me and receive My answers. If you
do this faithfully, theyll see that it works, and theyll follow your sample! (I:153)

I can answer every question if youll but ask. (I:156)

Your primary responsibility is to make sure you get a hold of Me and My perfect will for you and find My perfect path for
you.
Everything depends on learning to get My counsel and direction and be more desperate about it! I can only answer you
with the same intensity with which you seek Me!
Seek Me even harder and more diligently! Get down to more serious business with Me in seeking My guidance! (I:157)

Few people on this Earth come to Me for counsel when theyre 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. (I:210)

The worst thing in the world you can do when you dont know what to do is to keep going... Its a time of great transition
and upheaval, and 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 and seek My face as if everything depended on getting a hold of My
instructions and revelations, which it does. (I:217)

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... (I:225)

Lift up your heart to Me, dont 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 and write them on the tablets of your heart! (I:243)

In order to have a good, clean and strong channel with Me, a person needs to have good, strong and clean faith, which is
built by faithful study of My Word, they need a good, strong and clean spirit, and you should be free of strong emotions

455
and personal involvement in the situation youre trying to hear from Me about, if you want pure, clean and untainted
prophecies. (I:260)

Take time with Me to counsel about the affairs of your life! (I:268)

The more you tune in to Me, the more My thoughts will become your thoughts, and the more natural it will become to you
to hear from Me.
Youll hear My words right in your mind and heart! Wherever you are, we can be connected and together... even if your
hands are busy doing something else... (I:305)

"According to your faith be it unto you" also applies with prophecy: if you have the faith for supernatural, absolutely out-
of-this-World revelations of "great and 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 and use the reservoir of Word you've got stored up in
your heart and 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, and I'm preparing you for that day, but in the meantime,
enjoy the feast and the variety of means to hear and learn from Me that's available. (I:312)

Only I can give you the solutions for each individual situation, and its essential that you remain in close, personal contact
with Me and dont lose the connection! (I:316)

Whenever something happens, you should seek the purpose and 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 and care enough to find
out! The question you should always ask first of all is: "Lord, what do You want to show and teach me through this?"
Whenever anything happens that seems to be making your burden unbearable, get on your knees and 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 and 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, and then to learn it, get the point and get on with
it, so we can cover the next step. (I:403)

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" and vice versa, which
happens when someone follows their own leadings, intuitions or carnal wisdom and they often wind up getting hit by the
enemy. So many find themselves wounded on the battle field and 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.
It's very vital that you learn to hear, follow and obey My voice at every instance. (I:420)

You and 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 and busy with
creation, trying to keep it functioning. They need to get back to their Maker and 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 and becoming filled with Me! (I:428)

What counts is the instructions I'm giving you for today. (I:488)

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. (I:498)

Come to Me afresh every morning, to find Me, get ahold of Me, be filled with My Strength and find guidance from My hand,
and confirmation of the path before you from My mouth! (I:525)

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 and teach them so much more, and their path would become clearer. (I:528)

Sometimes you have to start from scratch and take that first step of faith... Just launch out there in blind trust and 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 and only a few drops will come at first, then a trickle, and
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...
456
(I:541)

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 and perhaps
do something about it. (I:565)

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 believers 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! (I:584)

You must fine-tune your instrument! Close your eyes and really make an effort and zoom in on the details.
You have to be able to read the fine print and hear even the faintest whisper of My Spirit! We're training your ears. (I:590)

Take Me with you! Don't let our communication go under in all the stress and the distractions! (I:608)

Pass on My living Words to others and directly challenge them from My lips!
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. (II:76)

When you come before Me, you must lay aside your own opinions, your own background information as much as possible,
and any preconceived ideas and bias, otherwise a message can very easily become tainted by what you "know." (II:90)

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 and ears to what else I might have to show and tell you. You've got to stay
alert and keep your spiritual radio on! (II:96)

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. (II:121)

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. (II:133)

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. (II:134) *(Prayer & Prophecy)

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 and really make it happen and have My Word bear fruit in your
life. (II:147)

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. (II:148)

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 and 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? (II:151)

There are many reasons why it pays to get your directions and instructions, counsel and guidance from Me. "Come now
and 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,
457
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. (II:170)

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 and care enough to find out and
listen.
You must study and investigate at times in order to really find out what happened, what's been going on here.
"Why are we stuck in a rut and 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 and 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 and schemes, in fact you shouldn't and must not! (II:181)

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. (II:184)

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 and you want to get his doubts out of your head, just come to Me, listen to Me
and dig into My Word! (II:190)

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 and 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!
(II:209)

If you learn to see things My way, you'll learn to view the hardest parts in life not as the worst, but as the best. You used to
see My crucifixion as something dreadful, something that people wonder why it had to happen, until you realized that this
was actually the main purpose for which I came, My greatest task and most important "job," My destiny. (II:214)

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. (II:229)

You have to keep your channel clean and fresh and 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 read what they say or fail to follow the direction in which they're supposed to
guide you! (II:231)

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, and as I've told you; it depends on your vacuum, your desperation, sometimes your perseverance, and
sometimes you're simply too easily distracted by the affairs of this life to hold out and 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, it's as I've told you, 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. (II:243)

You can't make hearing from Me an empty ceremony or ritual without putting your heart in it. Either your spirit is hungry
for My nourishment or it isn't. And when youre more interested in something else, then I'd rather you come back to Me
when you truly hunger for Me.
I only have something to say when you're truly willing to listen.
People are always more willing to listen to Me when skies are bleak and gray and trouble is in the air. (II:245)

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 and differ from day to day.
I want you to be open for My new input, possible changes and opportunities! (II:254)

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
458
desired fruit and results. (II:257)

The strength, courage and faith you need to develop an attacking initiative comes from your times spent with Me, so by
neglecting Me you go the opposite way. There's just no other way around it: 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. (II:269)

Things have become a lot more complex and 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 and what's happening here, so that I can
help you find the right solution, and what to do. (II:313)

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!" (II:327)

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. (II:328)

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. (II:336)

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 and then
counseling about it, etc. (II:346)

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. (II:347)

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 and 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 and then you'll
know what to do! (II:353)

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, and 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,
and My Word, fresh from My lips, to boost your faith again. (II:366)

The "more sure word of prophecy" (2.Peter 1:19) is "more sure," more certain than any words of man. They're My Words, and
you can build on them.
My sure Word of prophecy is My daily light to you that shines into the dark place of your lives in this world, a lamp unto
your feet, and you can trust in it and lean on it and follow it with assurance. (II:382)

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 and 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 and then walk off and 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, and we're really close and comfy cozy...," don't you think I'm
going to smash that image and shatter that idol? (II:385)

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,
and then you can trust Me for it, that it's going to work out alright.
Dont be surprised if things go haywire if you don't check in with Me! I can't allow and 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! (II:387)

Listen to My Spirit yourself first, before you set out to pass anything on from Me!
459
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. (II:410)

Thats 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. (II:412)

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). (II:419)

You've got to be ready and 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 and who I want you to minister to.
(II:423)

Sometimes you're too full of preset subjects and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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? (II:435)

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. (II:443)

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. (II:451)

I have given you the weapon of prophecy, now you must use it. (II:453)

Just open the faucet! All you've got to do is turn it, open it and let it pour, according to your desire, according to your
thirst. (II:463)

When you come to the end of your wit, thats usually the point where you let Me do the talking. (II:487)

People will be coming to you for help, because you're doing what they never would have the faith to do: to just take the
time to hear from Me, as if it were the most important task in the universe - and, what they don't know: it is. (II:496)

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. (II:499)

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. (II:502)

Listening to Me is the one sure way to make certain you're on the right track and that everything's going to be alright! (II:505)

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! (II:510)

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. (II:563)

460
I can always set your view straight and 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. (II:592)

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 and 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! (II:603)

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. (II:622)

I'm the One Who's got the plan, and the only way you can be in on it is by following Me closely. (II:629)

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. (III:16)

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. (III:44)

My still small voice can best be heard in the silence. (III:48)

Let Me teach you! (III:86)

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. (III:88)

"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! (III:91)

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. (III:112)

"Intercessory prophecy:" You hear from Me for the sake of others. You could at least hear from Me about what you could
do to "make their day."
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.
Its 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." (III:144)

As long as you've got plenty of time, it's relatively easy to take time to hear from Me. But the real test and 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. (III:148)

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. (III:151)

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.
461
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.
(III:161)

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 and on and 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 and over again. (III:172)

The spirit of prophecy is the true testimony that gives witness of Me in the right spirit and in the right way, and is thus the
factor of truth that makes the enemy really mad at you and declares you as his real and true enemies (see Rev.12:17, 19:10).
The spirit of prophecy is My living testimony in you that marks you as the few who are a real potential danger and threat to
him. You are his opponents for real. All the others don't really know what they're doing, don't even really know for sure
who's side they're on sometimes, much less how to fight properly.
The spirit of prophecy is what paints the true picture for you. Before that you didn't really know what was happening. You
had some basic ideas, roughly, like some rough sketch, which drew some of the basic outlines for you. You only see
clearly since you're having Me explain things to you on a daily basis.
You can only really learn to be a true shepherd who cares, if you allow Me to be that Good Shepherd to you first. Only by
spending time with Me and having Me explain to you what's happening, can you really let anyone else know what's
happening, too.
A lot of people have a lot of ideas. But not everybody has got the truth, and their finger on the true pulse of things. The
spirit of prophecy is the true pulse of things. It enables you to read the signals properly.
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.
This treasure attracts a lot of hostile movement from the enemy. He makes you feel depressed and like "How can this be
the truth or anything special, if it can't even prevent me from feeling so miserable?" And you feel like tossing it away. But
as long as you use that gift and that weapon, it can always pull you back down to the rock bottom ground of My true
Reality, away from the delusion the enemy tries to create in your minds. (III:181)

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 and 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! (III:188)

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. (III:198)

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. (III:200)

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.
(III:209)

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). (III:253)

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.
(III:268)

You may have to dig a little deeper in order to find more precious gold and 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
462
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. (III:274)

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. (III:277)

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. (III:294)

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.
(III:340)

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 and 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. (III:355)

Youve 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 cant be passive about it. The drawing is your action, the part that you do.
Youve got to be determined about it, take it by faith that I always love to communicate with you, and then act on that faith.
Youve got to make it happen; start typing and believe take that first step into the unknown.
Its not that I am tired or dont feel like talking, nor are My mood or My state in any way affected by circumstances.
Youve 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. (III:380)

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 Ive given you of praising Me, and thanking Me for it, and asking Me to show you
ways to implement what Ive given you! (III:395)

Nothings 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. (III:396)

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 youre about to forget
something important, or youre heading in a wrong direction.
Find out where its at by tuning in to Me and following the trail of My Spirit. (III:416)

Come, dig for My heavenly jewels and 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 youve 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 youve got, and youll 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. (III:419)
463
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 Davids 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.
Its 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 doesnt pay attention to.
Its not a big and obviously miraculous thing, its not a big sensation that attracts everyones attention, its 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. (III:432)

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. (III:448)

Theres 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 wont find so easily without Me. Try and
solve them without Me, and youll have problems. Ask Me to help you, and youll fare well.
Im 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 isnt
really much more than a bunch of hot air. (III:469)

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 youre
giving each one of them a cure and a remedy that wont let them down, once they learn how to avail themselves of it.
Its like supplying folks with generators, an unlimited source of free energy.
The only chance of success youve got is becoming so skilled in the art of using this weapon yourself, that theyll be
impressed and convinced that indeed it may be worth a try.
All your doubts and all the enemys 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 youll get, and pretty
soon you wont be able to stop yourself from convincing others to try it out, too.
If you avail yourself of it, theyll see its effects in your life, and soon enough, theyll want it, too. (III:552)

Remember to come to Me when you dont know what to do! Dont just keep going through the motions.
Dont 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 Im telling you. (III:555)

If you dont know what to do, dont keep going, but stop and ask Me! (III:558)

Take more time to be still to know that I am God, and what kind of a God, 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. (III:559)

Take the time to check in with Me in order to avoid disappointments!

Take the time to get the specifics! (III:560)

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, Ill always be there for you. Nothing is going to change about that. (III:579)

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 Systems 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 youve got to do it, because your life depends
on it. (III:590)

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.
464
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
youve 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 youll also hear My voice
speaking to you personally. (III:598)

Sometimes youve just got to try and reach out your hands for whatever there might be there, even if you dont feel a
special vacuum inside, or an explicit desire to hear from Me. Sometimes its 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 its the best you can do regardless of
what you feel like.
Youve got to make a little effort and stretch out your hands of faith to receive. Youve got to do a little bit of pumping and
drawing.
The decisive factor still remains your hunger and desire for My input, and if its not there, then that doesnt mean that I
have forsaken you, but is probably an indication that you have tried to satiate that hunger with other things, or youre
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 Whats the use?
Your vessel seems a little cracked, and you dont 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 theres only a
fraction left of it, knowing that even a little bit of My life-giving water is better than none at all (IV:8)

Some things time will resolve, as long as you keep your spiritual eyes and ears open for My input. I may not always show
you everything you need to know immediately, but Time will do the talking.
Youre not supposed to know the answer to everything from scratch. Folks are supposed to know youre 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. Youve got that magic lamp of My living words, which can solve problems for you as they arise. It doesnt create
a problem-free path for you, but solves them as you go and as you confront them. (IV:13)

You must forego the negative, distracting input from the enemy in order to stay empty and hungry for Mine.
Im just drawing your attention to the fact that some of that not-so-good input can tamper with your channel with Me. It
reduces your hunger and desperation for My input, because your mind has already been filled with something. (IV:22)

Be open to look in new and different directions and ways of making progress and learning from Me! (IV:37)

Prophecy sessions dont always have to consist of some big, flashy and grand revelation that makes you feel inspired. You
just do it because you know you ought to, in order to stay in touch with Me and to get your latest instructions, not
necessarily to boost your level of feelings. (IV:61)

Folks need somebody to tell them, Ive been there, and I found this thing that really helped me. And this thing in your
case being your relationship with Me, and a real, live line of communication with Me; the ability to receive the solutions to
your problems, failures and shortcomings straight from your Maker via the gift of prophecy thats available to practically
anyone who wants it. (IV:63)

You didnt do anything to deserve this privilege of the gift to receive My Words, except for the only thing which is required,
which is hunger for them.
People assume that in order to have Me speak to someone and for them to become a prophet, they would have to be
sinless saints. Well, you and I know that there is no such thing as a sinless saint on Earth. (IV:67)

I never run out of things to tell you. I never run out of things to teach you.
I want you to preserve your hunger and appetite for Me and My input, and remain eager to receive new things from Me
every day, if possible. (IV:72)

You are My vessel, and I love to pour into you. Thank you for keeping yourself empty and open for My input, and for not
listening to the enemys lies, that its a waste of time, and his doubts about, Who needs all that stuff anyway?
Well, you need it for one, and the time will come when more people will hunger for My genuine counsel, when all the
spiritual junk food theyre currently glutting themselves with will turn out to have been anything but satisfactory and the
philosophies of this world will have left them high and dry.
I want My voice and My approval to be sufficient for you, just as I want My Strength to be sufficient for you. (IV:74)

You are a willing vessel, but not always as strong as youd like to be in retaining what I give you or to convert My fuel into
good works and actions.
465
If theres one thing I love, its you drawing from Me the words that can change the world.
The world doesnt pay much attention to My tiny, seemingly insignificant words to seemingly tiny and insignificant people.
Theyre out for the big rah-rah, the big blaring news and shocking headlines and sensations. But when all the noise and
clamor is over, what will remain is My still small voice uttering the words and the music that keeps the universe turning.
(IV:87)

It would be foolish to see the Bible as anything other than a foundation on which to also use new and fresh input from Me
and My Realm concerning the manifold situations you may find yourselves in.
The Bible is definitely the beginning, but its not necessarily the end, and all that there ever was for Me to say. No wonder
young people have a hard time relating to Christian religion, if it is devoted to a God Who is not supposed to have spoken
since 2000 years.
There will be situations that will require new and fresh input to give you guidance and heavenly insight and wisdom on
how to deal with them.
If people would really take the Bible at face value, they would also avail themselves of the gifts of the Spirit, which include
prophecy. So, the problem isnt the Bible, but that people dont believe it as they should. If they would, then they would
also avail themselves of the living Word, just as My disciples of old have. (IV:93)

Prophecy is what I tell you to do, and whether it will ever get done still depends on your obedience. (IV:170)

My flow of spiritual riches will always be steady and available to you, and is not dependent on how youre faring, or on
whether youre failing Me in some way. To the contrary: if you would be failing Me in some way, I would probably have even
more to tell you about it. (IV:210)

I trust that the absorption of My Words in your heart will bear the desired results and fruits eventually.
Youre bound to learn something from it. You cant spend hours and hours listening to the greatest Teacher of all times
without ever learning anything
As long as you keep listening to Me, trying to stay on My track, I consider you My wife, My responsibility, a receptor of My
seeds, and I will honor you by taking care of you. (IV:419)

Like the Oracle in the Matrix, Im always giving you whatever it is you need to hear for the moment.
But thats why its important to always get your fresh manna for each day and not rely on the counsel of yesterday,
especially when its concerning people and changeable circumstances and situations. (IV:421)

Of all the voices there are to listen to, the one it really will pay off most to take heed to is Mine.
Only My voice will lead and guide you into all truth, and will thus also enable you to be true to yourself and fulfill your true
destiny and My highest will for you. (IV:435)

Sometimes you would like to have some more practical and down to Earth advice from Me, related to your immediate
situation, but I prefer to give you gems and jewels that will last beyond your immediate situation. (IV:477)

When youre done having had your fill of what Ive already told you, that doesnt mean that you must stop there Then, or
maybe a little while later, come back to Me to see if there isnt anything fresh Id like to give you!
Whats also important is that you dont just read My Words and study them, but digest them properly with prayer and
meditation. Youve got to take some Temple Time in order to make those Words resonate in your soul and bring forth the
fruit in you that both you and I desire! (2011:17)

Because hearing from Me is only by faith perceived as one of the things you need to do in order to survive, it falls under
the table more easily than any of the other, physical activities that keep you alive
Remember what I told Martha: But one thing is needful (Jn.10:42)
Most people think that all these other things they do are necessary and expedient, that they couldnt survive without them.
But I basically said, this is the one thing thats really necessary: hearing from Me!
Of course, I admit, it takes a lot of faith, especially in this day and age, where everything revolves around making money, to
believe that hearing from Me should be more important than working. But if it all comes down to it, its really one of the
most important points Im trying to make throughout the Bible, ever since Cain and Abel: anything you can do in the flesh
is not as important as that spiritual task of nourishing your soul and spirit with input from Me! Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God Labor not for the meat which perisheth, etc. (2011:49)

By only revealing to you what you need to know for today I can make sure that Ill see your face again tomorrow, or at least
in a few days from now when youll be hungry for more directions. (2011:86)

By coming to Me for My input at least I can let you know whether you're on the right track or not. But it would be better if
you'd make sure you're constantly tuned in to My voice. (2011:125)

Thats what the gift of prophecy is for: to make sure that something really is My will and My ordained path for you, even
when it may not seem like that according to rational analysis. (2011:126)

Nothing can replace the kind of input I give you the only kind of input that can give sense and purpose and meaning to your life.
(2012:47)
466
Youll find out that nothing quite satisfies like Papas Homegrown stew of fresh, heavenly input to give you directions,
solace, comfort and wisdom in this weary, weary world.
Only I know what you really need at any given time and can provide the necessary input for the moment. (2012:66)

Just reaching out and pumping Me for My input like a baby his mother for her milk is sometimes not enough. I want you to
get ahold of My heart, not just beg Me for more information, confirmations or blessings on your plans. (2012:70)

Whats so bad about having to spend your time sitting at My feet and listening to and receiving My Words to you?
Maybe I just happen to know that this is the most important thing you need, to strengthen your faith, which is really going
to make a difference in your future usefulness. (2012:98)

The gift and privilege of prophecy doesnt exclude My dealings with your shortcomings. To the contrary: The more there is
to deal with, the more I may have to talk to you about.
As I said, Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away, you will see one day that, opposed to all
your feverish activity and striving for accomplishment, My conversations with you will turn out to be the lasting part, that
wont perish. (2012:124)

At least youre listening, which is, as you can tell, more than can be said for the vast majority of the world even of the
vast majority of My supposed followers (2012:129)

Can you feel it, how life begins to creep back into your spiritual veins as you tune in to Me?
Why go through life without it? Why spend days in misery and lack and spiritual hunger, when you could always be full,
with enough to give to others and share with them of the abundance I pour into you?
You think you can do it without Me, and it seems you can, but only for so long
All that other stuff, the affairs of this life, and the fun you think youve just got to have, seem so important, but they will
only go so far in giving you what you need. Without My life-giving input youll wither like a dying branch.
Youre just going to have to make your own efforts to fight for it, and when it comes down to that, youre on your own.
Youre one example for the bad shape the world is getting into because theyre neglecting My input, failing to consider and
acknowledge Me at all, all the while running in their own speed ever deeper into their own demise
But just as some folks refuse to acquire the necessary information it would take for them to change their mindsets about
My existence, so it is with My input. Some simply choose to live without it, choose to be too busy for Me (2013:6)

My communications with you and your connection with Me are vital for you, the most vital and essential component and
factor for a successful life, as far as what I would call such, and your learning not just to avail yourself of this precious gift
under ideal circumstances, but anywhere, out of sheer necessity, is indeed more valuable than anything else you could
think of. (2013:9)

I and My input are always available to you, thats a Promise I wont back down on.
The only question is, how well can you focus on it? How strongly do you desire it and refuse to allow distractions to divert
you from My wavelength? Thats good training and one of the most important things you can learn right now.
if you take time and pull down from Heaven some guidance, youll find out that itll definitely be worth it. Its not just a
selfish thing to do.
Its one of those things that people of God can easily be misjudged on (and the Devil will always be quick to encourage
that): Why do they have to do this? Shouldnt they be doing the same we do instead? Even among fellow-believers, as
in the incident with Martha and Mary.
Theyll just have to take it by faith and learn from consequent experience that its the best thing that can possibly happen
to them and their family, if at least one of its members makes a serious effort to stay in tune with Me and abide in Me,
making sure youre all still on the right track, heading in My direction and still following Me.
Making sure youre still in tune and touch with Me is basically the best thing you can do. Its even better than providing for
your family, because its the factor that will ensure continued provision, protection and My blessing in general, and by
helping to make this happen, those blessings will keep flowing.
If theres one short piece I could give to the entire world, that would make a universe of a difference in its state and
development in each and everyones life, its these three words: Listen to Me! It really pays off, and those who do will
carry away a reward that will far exceed anything you can work up in this lifetime. Its basically the only thing that lasts, as
I said, Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words wont (Mt.24:35). So you might as well choose and stick to the part
thats going to hang around even when all else is gone, dont you think?
Those who listen to Me will always have a power and strength that others will not know of, the source of all life and energy.
If everything was created by My Words, it stands to reason that it pays to tap into that Resource, doesnt it? (2013:16)

The final crunch always is, whose voice youre going to listen to, Mine, or the worlds. (2013:17)

Its apparently dull and meaningless to go through a world full of people who dont seem to be able to appreciate the least
bit any of what you are trying to convey to them. You wonder, What in the world is that supposed to be all about?
But if you go through that day aware of Me being by your side, all that doesnt matter. It doesnt matter whether they listen
or not. What matters is that you listen to Me and learn to see things from My angle. (2013:36)

467
If you see your life unravel without My input, its for a reason.
Its like plants saying, Oh, why should I need the same old water and sunshine again? Ive been having it so many
times Nothing can live without nourishment of some kind, and My input is the nourishment for your soul and spirit, that
part of you without which you cease to exist as the kind of person youd want to be.
The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and life (John 6:63), and without them the light simply goes out in your life, and
instead of being part of the light of the world, you grow dim (2013:91)

Some things may seem and sound like good ideas, but youll never know if they really are until you consult Me. (2013:125)

Maybe you dont know whats going to happen, but perhaps that means its more important to learn to trust Me and ask
Me find out from Me whats happening! (2014:41)

Just keep listening to Me instead of worshipping what the world has to offer, and Ill reward you for it. (2014:52)

The more open you are to Me and receiving input from Me, the more time you invest in our conversation, the more it can
also be that I and My forces can inspire you to receive the right kind of theme you should add as a request something
above the kind that came in only from your own mind.
The more you open up to Me, the more chance that youll be filled with the right kind of stuff and input from Me. (2014:63)

Its a good thing to receive My Words and input to you, to try to hear and receive My voice. Especially when you can be
sure that its truly My input, and not any of the enemys.
As long as you can tell that the input I give you makes your days, your time and your life better, its worth keeping up the
effort, isnt it? (2014:101)

If you ask Me for Words to strengthen you, I should definitely always have some for you. (2014:108)

Communicating with Me makes you feel a bit better when youre down all in all. I can cheer you up, and the Holy Spirit can
give you the victory! So, its always a good and wise decision to turn to Me and come to Me with your thoughts and
prayers open your heart for My Word and input. (2014:135)

If just listening to Me makes you feel so much better, theres got to be something good about it, dont you think? There is
that kind of a difference between My voice, input and truth, and the doubts and ugly thoughts the devil tries to throw at you
beforehand
Maybe youre learning to appreciate the difference between the effect of My truth and his lies. Would be worth it, dont you
think? Learning to distinguish the difference between them? (2014:145)

The important thing for you is to learn to regularly be in touch and tune with Me.
The most important thing for you right now is what you can receive from Me right now.
Stay in tune with Me, and be ready for what Ive got for you to receive from Me!
First and most of all, try to get fed by what Ive got for you for today!
What matters most and you should seek to receive first each day is what Ive got to give you right now!
Hearing from Me anew each day helps you to put Me first each day, and its the most important move for your spirit each
day (2014:152)

Make sure you cleanse our channel and connection with each other, keep it clean and clear through prayer! (2014:160)

Its all by faith and it will take a bit of faith to make it, which is why its a good move to get some more input from Us and
some words and counsel to cheer you up and strengthen whats important. (2014:167)

Being able to receive My Words and input is a great honour, and something you ought to be thankful for. And you cant just
expect that its something like a little hobby you can do and keep at the side of all things! Treat it a lot closer to being the
most important and best thing happening to you, heightening My value in your life and giving Me and the Spirit Worlds
input and influence a greater importance to you than just having fun, making money, and whatever else you chose!
(2014:171)

Praise and prayer should come before prophecy! Prayer and praise should be the first steps you should take before you
expect to hear from Me and receive My new and current direction and input! (2015:22)

You can hear from Me pretty much when you want to. I never want to withhold good counsel from you. Its just that
sometimes your own mind is distracting you, or your faith is on a downhill slope, and not making your spirit ready to
receive.
Hearing from Me is becoming one of the most important parts of your faith life in the coming times, so, I can only
encourage you to keep trying, keep sucking, and pull down whatever you can receive from Me or spirit helpers.
So, taking as much time as you can to hear from Me is a good thing. (2015:45)

I always am willing to communicate with you, whenever youre ready and willing to receive My input.

468
You should learn to communicate with Me under any circumstances. Tune in to Me and turn on that receptivity for My input
whenever you feel you need it! (2015:75)

Just take advantage of My input, My counsel, and My care for you! (2015:99)

Conversations with the Almighty are powerful, and definitely have a healing effect on mental or spiritual not-so-hot states
and conditions; so it's a good move to get in touch with Me in the mornings. After all: that's one of the huge advantages of
having received Me: I'm definitely communicate-able! (2015:101)

If you dont know what to do, just put Me in charge of it, ask Me what you should do, and youll find out! ! (2015:109)

You dont have to be perfect or a sinless saint in order to receive something from Me. Youve just got to have the faith that I
love to communicate with My followers and disciples, even if theyre not perfect. (2015:113)

The good thing about all-powerfulness is that you dont have to worry much whether Im able to converse with you, or not.
It mostly depends on you and your state of receptivity. (2015:141)

The more time you spend communicating with Me, the better off youre going to be in times to come! Keeping in touch with
Me as much as you can is the best you can do! (2015:158)

Listening to Me is an advantage, as shows the chapter in John about the two sisters of whom one did and the other got
offended about her not helping to serve Me and the disciples. Both deeds were good, but ultimately, listening to Me will
turn out to be the better! Even if there appears to be less work involved in it. As for Me: receptivity is a better surplus
than being a diligent worker. Both capacities have their advantages and purposes, but listening to Me will give you the
ability to give others more of spiritual values, which you ought to know by now I treasure more than the work most folks
invest their time in, to enrich their physical existences (2015:161)

Keep receiving input from Me, and you wont be disappointed!

Youll be quite pleasantly surprised and surprising others, too, about how willingly communicative I am with folks folks
like you; in fact, anyone willing to communicate and receive some input from Up Here their Creators the Father and I,
along with a bunch of assisting angels and spirit helpers! (2015:171)

Youve got the Source of My input via prophecy. (2015:210)

Its not as easy as it used to be, to hear from Me, but at least not impossible, either.
So, it has become more precious and valuable to you, My input, and you appreciate it more, which will also help you
appreciate its benefits more, since youll realize more just what it was that I gave you, when you start using it more, and
taking the advantage of it and learn from it all that you can!
It may be getting tougher to receive new input from Me, but that shows you should put more energy and strength into it, in
order not to lose that privilege and gift from Me.
And youll see: its not so much the quantity that matters, of the input, but the quality!
A little is sometimes worth more than a lot, so, get used to, and learn to appreciate the slightly lower quantities of My
input, but rely on and take advantage of the quality more, instead!
Little is much, if Im in it! (2015:211)

Ready for receiving, so youll start believing at little more? (2015:247)

Sometimes there are just other, more important things to do, and hearing from Me these days is one of them!
So, even if the enemy tries to get you out of it our connection dont let him! He knows how important those moments of
communication between us are, and receiving new and fresh input is somewhat more important than going over and
studying the old! Keep our connection alive! (2016:2)

Getting and staying more open for My input and any from Above is what youll need more and more as time goes on, so
the more and the sooner you get into that groove, the better!
The hearing from Me on a daily basis will become quite important in the times of trouble, and the sooner you get into it, the
better. (2016:21)

You have to learn to receive My input even when the circumstances to receive it arent as easy as they have been! (2016:27)

The enemy still keeps tempting you through your weaknesses, saying, Uh, you see? You dont deserve it! But if I were
like that, would I keep feeding you with input whenever you come before Me to receive it? (2016:62)

My input to you may be significant part of the preparation for whats to come, not just for you, but also many who havent
been aware of that factor, might not really need it right now, but would depend on in the times to come. (2016:90)

My more recent input is more feeding according to your present needs. Times change, and so does My input to you,
accordingly.
469
The weaker you get in the flesh, the stronger My spiritual Input. (2016:100)

Let Me and My daily input be your source of positive sentiments, and eventually you might transfer that gift to others,
when circumstances will have become negative enough to affect them, too and if they still see you cheerful after your
time with Me, they might finally get interested in experiencing that, too! (2016:107)

All My input will make more sense to you once you see it happening before you, and youll realize that Ive been giving you
just what youll need, even if it didnt make all that much sense back then, or even right now except that you can begin to
see the storm approaching on the horizon. (2016:119)

The gift of hearing from Me includes the duty of doing what I tell you to in order to continue receiving the blessings from
Above. (2016:124)

The folks the enemy hates the most and will persecute the most will be the ones who are able to hear from Me. In other
words: the bunch he cant kid with his lies, which are his ultimate weapon not useful against those whove got a link with
Me for the Truth instead.
Folks who hear from Me are the ones he seeks the most to get rid of.
Folks who hear from Me are the ones with the ultimate weapon against his flood of lies he seeks to flush the world with.
With the large part of the population ready to swallow it and soak it up. (2016:128)

The gift of prophecy has to grow just like other gifts and talents.
Some prophecies arent just Me talking to you, but sometimes its been the Father Himself, or also the Mother, the Holy
Spirit, Who through the gift of receiving Her actually enables and renders the gifts of the Spirit like prophecy, along
with the others, of tongues, discernment, etc. (2016:133)

Having your hearing-from-Me sessions before breakfast shows which nourishment has the priority. (2016:140)

When it comes to My Input, and My ways, the main tendency is there, that the news above the old, as far as your need is
concerned.
Im a bit more aware of and tuned in to your present needs, so, its always good to stay in tune with Me, ready to receive
fresh input the stuff you need right now today!
What Ive told you yesterday or years ago might apply today, just like Bible verses; but if youve got the gift of hearing from
Me, with drastic world changes on their way, its pretty much the best you can shoot for in order to make it through the
present day.
Its good youre spiritually hungry for My input; just remember, the most helpful and appropriate for present needs is what
you receive right now!
So, try to put that on the top of your to-do list of daily activities: Tuning in to what Ive got to give you and tell you today!
Times are changing rapidly, and to get into the groove of those changes, the best is to receive what Ive got to tell you right
now.
Just as fresh food is the best to eat, so its also with spiritual nourishment, if you have the gift of receiving what I have to
tell you today. (2016:148)

Remember reading Bible passages or other sources of My Word and counsel until you found a verse or passage that
would cheer you up and appeal to the day? Well, thats what the gift of hearing from Me does for you on a regular basis:
giving you the counsel and message youre needing.
The advantage of living input: receiving what youre needing right now. (2016:154)

Hearing from Me is like feeding your soul, that is starving for positive input according to negative influences around you.
Even if its not a constant flow of new information or revelations, its daily guidance, or even just encouragement and
strengthening of your faith you need, which comes from hearing My Word. (2016:155)

Few folks are drawn toward My input and what I have to offer requiring faith, while the majoritys vastly more interested
in what their fellow humans have to dish out
Visible sources of input are just a lot more popular than the ones that require a large step of faith. (2016:165)

Since faith cometh from hearing My Word, youre doing the right thing to turn to Me for My input. Knowing by now that
you wouldnt stand a chance to make it without It.
Your having to reach out for and soak up My Input first thing in the mornings is a good sign for Me.
Set your spiritual focus on hearing from Me, and make that Input your Number One!
Dont let it get you too uptight if you cant accomplish anything else than hearing from Me first! It will be the way by which
things will work in the future the only way, and youve got to get used to it! (2016:177)

If it tempts to trouble you a bit, that you cant make it without taking time to receive My input, remember that My coming to
birth on Earth where the manifestations of the Word by which all things were created, becoming flesh. In other words, if
the Word and receiving My input strikes you as something that might not be appreciated or accepted by others, or
recognized as something important, and those thoughts and feelings make you worry, cant you see that this could only be
an attack of the enemy to crush your faith in the importance of it?
470
Your channel with Me is becoming the pretty much most important thing in your life for a reason. Just as the Word that I became
the flesh of originally created everything, so it will play an equally important role in the last years of world history. The Word that
gave life to everything will be the Source that will enable you to keep your life in spite of all the opposing and threatening
conditions placed upon this world by the devils ultimate rule over it; and as Ive told you: itll be the era of necessary miracles.
(2016:195)

The most important thing: loving Me and your neighbor as yourself; but then again, its better to hear from Me, even if you
dont manage. At least I can remind you of shortcomings that require some NWO. (17:9)

If you need My input to make it, its an advantage from My objective for both, you and Me.
The more you learn to tune in to Me, the more youll be able to act according to My will for you, because youll be more
conscious of what exactly it is.
Not worrying too much about the opinions of others about what youre doing when hearing from Me is part of a sign of
appreciation for My counsel Im giving you.
And you can tell how it lifts you up when youre tempted to feel more on the down side of things.
At least youve been a good listener to Me. And doesnt that remind you of Johns story about the two sisters one of whom
was listening to Me, while the other was serving and finally came up scolding her sister for not helping her? Which of the
two did I put in favor for her choice? - The busy or the listening one?
When the Word of God was made flesh, it signified an importance to pay attention to the One Whose Words ultimately all
things came from.
Keeping busy is good. But listening to Me is better.
So, dont feel too bad about not being busy enough for others, and their criticizing you for the time youre spending with
Me! Ultimately it will turn out that you made the wiser decision. Doing what you could based on the right input.
Keeping folks busy fending for their survival is one of the enemys standard procedures of keeping them away from the
opportunity to listen to Me. (17:14)

If you cant make it without Me, My Help and input, trust Me: Its a good sign! (17:33)

Having an easier time hearing from Us when youre alone also shows you why it was that some of our prophets were
singles and on their own for a large amount of their times on Earth. Its just easier to hear from Us without distractions.
(17:65)

Some of Pauls statements in his letters you wouldnt agree with, but still belong to whats called the Word of God.
So, your input isnt perfect, just as you, the receptor, arent.
Nonetheless its still a positive, to try to hear from Me, even if what youre getting doesnt all show up 100% perfect in the
end. Lets say, the more prayer for a safe connection includes the process, the better.
It still requires some getting rid of the side effects of human mind receiving the input.
If its your mind thats being used to receive heavenly input, take it into consideration that it might still require some
corrections! - Take it as part of the job! Cleaning the heavenly Water from effects of the earthly reception. (17:76)

Its becoming practically the most important for you to hear from Me, in order to keep your faith! (17:93)

If faith cometh by hearing the Word of God (Rom.10:17), you can see that as the main purpose for My input of My living
Words to you. (17:99)

While listening to Me and collecting My Words doesnt seem a very success-promising task, Id just say, lets wait and see!
Wait for the result and see what comes out of the reception of My Words the original Factor of Creation!
You can tell that the enemy would be quite interested in damaging through fake versions of his own one of the most
important tools and spiritual weapons to make it through the Endtime with, as predicted in Revelation.
Hearing from Me and receiving My input and guidance when listening to Me - the Word made flesh - could be one of the
greatest privileges youll one day be proud of having been used for. - Even if there are that many fakes around.
The enemy would like to portray it to you as a waste of time
But what would you consider the bigger waste of time? - Listening to Me or getting soaked into his distractions? (17:112)

Youve got that gift of input and prophecy from Me without which you dont see how youd make it through the days, and
youve just got to keep trusting in Me that I know why Im allowing it to be thus! - That therell be a time you probably wont
be the only one utterly dependent on My Input. (17:123)

To feed your spirit and lift you up Isnt My Function as the Living Word in your life the most precious gift youve got to
see you through the days? (17:124)

See the gift of hearing from Me and staying in touch with Me as the most precious one you could possibly have! - Even if it
may not necessarily come across like and as that to your fellowmen!
Appreciate My gift of prophecy, even if those around you seem as if theyd prefer you doing something else instead! (17:134)

Faith and trust will be what youll need the most, and thats a principal reason for Me pouring out My Words and input to
you: to make them grow through them.

471
Faith cometh by hearing the Word and Whos the Word that became flesh like you? So, your faith should come and
grow through hearing from Me.
Dont go by what you see, but by what you hear and receive from Me!
Let My input for you become the beginning of what each day, yea, each moment of the rest of your life will be, and
remember that thats where all life came from in the beginning! Let the beginning of Life become the beginning and end of
each day for you! Thats the way to make it through the dark times: Continue the Course of My Words of Let there be
Light! (17:140)

The necessary faith and trust keeps growing through your gift of believing in Me and hearing from Me.
Faith cometh by knowing Me and hearing from Me. In other words, through your connection with Me, which is a factor that
will become absolutely vital during the dark times approaching.
Put your faith and trust in the Light of the World, the One Who initially said, Let there be Light! - And there was Light!
And stay on His Wavelength and keep receiving His living Words through which all things above and around you were
created! (17:146)

472
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Heaven

Set your affection on things Above, not on things on the Earth! (Colossians 3:2)

One of the purposes of the earthly life is to get people so sick of that system that seeing My wonderful heavenly System
will immediately strike them as the solution, the answer to all their questions, the light after a long dark night. Many who
come Up Here exclaim, "Of course! Its all so simple! Oh, why wasnt I able to see this before? Why dont they see it? It all
would be so much easier and so much more beautiful if they would just share... give a little more... love a little more...!"
Theyre overwhelmed by the beauty and the simplicity of it. Its like coming to see the light after having lived a life in
blindness. (I:45)

There will be tears in Heaven, but mostly tears of joy and 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. (I:121)

When you will come to be with Me, all your sorrows, your battles, your trials, will all fade away in an instant and will seem
ridiculously insignificant.
You will immediately be so absorbed by the matters that truly count and so overwhelmed by the sheer impact of the eternal
nature, all your former temporal difficulties, human shortcomings and failures will be shadows of the past.
As you will be drawn unstoppably into My light that will make all those former shadows fade away, you will see and know
as you are seen and known and you will embrace the new, the much better version of what youve left behind in that
earthly cocoon.
Let this breeze of eternity soothe your mind and remind you of how irrelevant all your trials and worries are, how unreal
they suddenly become when faced with the glory of the eternal realm of My Kingdom. (I:125)

Be Heaven-conscious! I want you to be sure of your Heavenly Home! Prepare for your real, eternal Home!
Make yourselves cozy in the secret place of the Most High! (I:141)

In My Kingdom can people be free and bold enough to be what they really are inside their innermost selves and reveal
themselves openly. Its because all fears are history Here. (I:154)

Heaven, a pain-free World, without dirt and pollution, the filth I have saved you from through My sacrifice.
Through all that pain, blood and agony I was able to bring Heaven, the perfect place where every moment is perfect, to
every soul who will receive that sacrifice as a personal gift of love from their Creator as remission for their sins. (I:183)

Let Me transport you out of the realm of the physical and into the infinite courts of Heaven and Beyond! (I:191)

To be heavenly minded, to some extent, means, to be future-minded. (I:213)

Winning souls is the best preparation for Heaven, where youre going to meet all of those souls again and they will be your
grateful friends, companions and lovers, too... Dont insist on having your heaven on Earth first, without bringing heaven
to the lost. Thats like chasing happiness when you ought to be giving it to others. (I:274)

Keep your eyes on Heaven and keep attuned to the Spirit world! (I:317)

Compared to the love of Heaven, all earthly loves are let-downs and disappointments, and this experience will serve its
purpose in making you become more heavenly-minded; ceasing to seek satisfaction and fulfillment of your dreams in this
earthly life. Only from the vaults of Heaven will you find treasures worthy of passing on... (I:348)

Heaven and My eternal Kingdom will be such an exceedingly joyful Place, especially because of the contrast it will be to all
that you're experiencing now. It's like the light compared to the darkness. (I:404)

Heaven is going to be your reward for having been faithful with the little, imperfect things of Earth: The more imperfect
your conditions on Earth, the greater will your joy be in Heaven. (I:411)

Come with Me into that Land of Love where you will feel truly at Home and like a king! Down there you will forever be a
servant. Here you will forever reign with Me. (I:415)

Heaven and its happiness are yours for the asking and the accepting of it, by simply receiving whatever situation you find
yourself in as My personal love-gift to you, hand-tailored for your personal need, if you could only trust Me and thank Me
for it!
Life isn't going to be perfect - ever - in this present life, and I ordained it this way for you, so that you would - like Abraham
- seek a better place, a City Whose Builder and Maker I am - your true Home. This World is not your home, so you might as
well quit looking for the perfect place in it, and the perfect situation, where everything is going to be as you wish.
473
Heaven just won't happen as long as the Devil is still in charge of this place!
The perfect World is coming, for you to enjoy for all eternity, so, why not prepare for it, by already starting to live in the joy
and the love and the peace of it, as much as you can, and you can, if you're tuned in to Me! (I:553)

In Heaven, where the God of Love rules and dwells with His own people of love, there is no such thing as lovelessness,
just as there is no darkness in this City of Light. (I:594)

When you'll be coming Home, everything is going to be the way it was meant to be. That true Home of your heart is Here,
My heavenly Realm! (I:598)

Bring Heaven to them! They're only going to see and enjoy and have Heaven in their lives as much as you show them, as
much as you allow them to have!
The devil is scared of you, fighting you like crazy because he knows he's going to lose victims out of his clutches of hell,
and they're going to have Heaven happening in their lives. That ingredient of Heaven is like a poisonous, deadly virus to
his kingdom, his system! It totally busts it! It's like what the Spring does to the snow! It breaks the cold spell of winter and
just makes it all melt away, and everything becomes possible again: where there was only cold and grey, all of a sudden,
life springs up again everywhere!
You can be like that to those people! You can be like the sun of Spring to them! (II:77)

Only in Heaven, where all things are revealed and nothing is hidden anymore, can you see as things truly are, you will
know as you are known, and all things are open and naked to everyone. (II:87)

You could have Heaven in your heart right where you are, right now, if you only have the right attitude.
In My Kingdom everybody is completely satisfied and content and happy with what they've got, and there is no more
reason for envy, nor is anybody driven by motives such as wanting to show off in pride what they've got, in order to make
another feel bad, or to draw attention to themselves. (II:125)

When it comes to a heavenly and spiritual viewpoint, there is no such thing as "privacy," but all things are open and naked
before Me (Heb.4:13).
It's impossible to deceive anyone Here, to pretend or be a fake. Nobody will fall for it, because everyone is looking right
through you.
I'm giving you a chance to live a life-style that resembles the heavenly life-style, with no dark corners in your life, but
where My light shines into every single corner of your heart and being, where you're virtually transparent.
Why wait until you come to be with Me in My Realm, or until I come to bring about the merging of the realms? You can start
living like that right now! Find out how much power two people can really develop when there are absolutely no secrets
between them! Nothing to hide!
Feel the sexy excitement of total openness! Welcome to Heaven! (II:131)

Youve got to be a baby to go to Heaven, you've got to be a child if you want true wisdom and just "do it cause Daddy said
so," and trust that I have a perfect plan and purpose in everything. (II:166)

Death is merely your promotion to a much better working place, under much better conditions.
Any problems you might be having right now, such as with impatience, etc., will all be a thing of the past then.
To focus on that goal will help you to realize how temporal it all is, the trials and battles you're going through... It takes the
punch out of them, somewhat, if you know that soon it's going to be all over. And it also takes the sting out of death,
because you know that death will hold such a glorious promotion for you and a liberation from any hold that sin might still
have over your body... Not to mention all the physical ails and pains.
You'll be a perfect teacher then. No more angry impatience, no more rolling your eyes over any pupil's slowness in
grasping whatever you're trying to impart... You'll also be a perfect lover then, able to read minds... able to read wishes
from their eyes.
So, if you feel incapable and like a lousy lover right now, just tell her, "Hang on! Soon I'm going to be perfect!" And it's
true. So don't get impatient with each other, but wait for the perfect to come. (II:178)

There's so much more going on behind the scenes that concerns you than you could ever even possibly find out in life. It
will be one of the greatest and very special kicks for you in Heaven to solve the final mysteries and see My perfect sense in
it all!
My heavenly forces are in a way like policemen or officers of law enforcement, and it is their job to catch and expose the
culprit.
There's so much more going on behind the scenes that concerns you than you could ever even possibly find out in life. It
will be one of the greatest and very special kicks for you in Heaven to solve the final mysteries and see My perfect sense in
it all! (II:181)

You've got to see My heavenly Landscape and beauty of what's going to be and what really is in the heavenly Realm,
beyond all that ugliness the devil's trying to create! (II:296)

Since nothing and no one is perfect in this world, this will be another factor to help you appreciate My perfect World, when
you get Here, a world void of the evil and lack of love youll see and experience around you. (II:314)
474
You wanna be the greatest in Heaven? Be the servant of all! (II:332)

True Heaven comes through the desperation that makes you seek Me whole-heartedly - a desperation that comes from the
total failure of finding anything in this world that will truly satisfy you. (II:345)

Communication is more than just talking. In Heaven, there's a lot of communication done without actual spoken words.
(II:356)

You could say I was sometimes tempted to live a little bit of Heaven on Earth and to have a little bit of the share of the
heavenly life while I was still on Earth.
The things of Heaven are so much more intriguing, so much more fascinating, so much more exciting and fun, and at the
same time so much more wholesome and edifying than the things of the physical world. (II:381)

Heaven is right by your side to help you through your sufferings. (II:393)

I want to make things easier for you and want to teach you to see Me, to visualize Me somehow, to help you become more
heavenly-minded by actually catching glimpses and visions of Heaven. (II:394)

I am with you, reminding you of the fact that this world is never going to be your home, never the place where you belong,
but also filling you with joyous anticipation of the glorious Kingdom to come, where all things will be perfect, where we will
be truly united, and all shall be as one. No more disunity, nor separation, but perfect oneness, total unity, total Love. (II:430)

The little, formerly unrecognized folks will be the big stars in Heaven. The rewards in Heaven will not be handed out
unjustly. (II:441)

The world wants to see happy faces. They've known enough hell, and they want to see a little bit of heaven, and that's what
you've got to show, if you can live it. (II:479)

That's why Heaven's so perfect, and everyone in Heaven is practically perfect: it's the love that makes them perfect. As
undeserving as anyone might be, they're being loved totally and unconditionally, and that just deletes and erases anything
you would call imperfect. (II:499)

I'm not expecting you to do more than you can deliver. All I'm saying is, "Try this!" "This is the way We do things in
Heaven, and it's the ideal way I've ordained for My children to do things in general, and if you try it, it might bring about
some major improvements in your life." I know you're imperfect, but that doesn't stop Me from offering you some of My
perfection. (II:532)

Sometimes I use the horrors of this world to drive you into the arms of Heaven, to make you long for Heaven; in order for
you to become more heavenly-minded, less worldly-minded, for you to realize yet a bit more how much this world is not
your home, how much you're not of this world, how you don't really belong here. (II:550)

Heavenly communication is what it's all about. In My Father's house, with its many mansions, there is lots of
communication happening; spiritual communication, verbal communications, all kinds of communication. Folks aren't
bound to earthly confines and limitations. There's no more need for "firewalls"... It's all sort of "open source." Everyone's
an open source of information and communication.
Just consider yourself part of our heavenly communications network! (II:574)

Sooner or later, all the differences between you will be gone Here!
There'll be total forgiveness, total acceptance and total love. And if you can see that, even as a slightly faint vision of
something that's going to happen in the distance, in the future, at least it will help you understand that there's something
fundamental you have in common with any of your brothers and sisters, no matter how different you are at the time being.
(III:23)

See the heavenly vision, the heavenly viewpoint and angle of things!
Be freed from the chains that tie you to Earth, trudging in a circle, and look up and soar high into the Heavens instead!
(III:77)

You can benefit from and avail yourself of the sheer endless pool of wisdom of all ages that is stored Here, according to
the effort you make to draw from it, like activating a pump...
It's like a heavenly bank of spiritual wealth.
Heaven and all its blessings are not earned on a merit basis. You either have the right and you are being granted access to
its riches or not.
Bathe in the Great Link first, each day, for us to remind you of who you are: one of us, who is at Home Here and has full
access to the treasure houses of the Father. (III:95)

475
You may have preferred a "shortcut to happiness," enjoying your rewards a lot sooner, having your cake and eating it, so
to speak, Heaven now and hereafter, but that's not always how it works. Sometimes you have to wait a little for the main
rewards yet to come...
It's human nature to want the best of both worlds, but the suffering is nonetheless inevitable. Sometimes I just have to
remind you that this world is not your destination yet... there is more to come, you cannot have all right here and now.
As beautiful and as rich and full as I try to make this earthly life for you, sometimes I simply have to remind you that this
isn't Heaven yet.
The words "enter into the joy of thy Lord" do apply to some extent in this physical, earthly life, and I want you to
experience My joy, but you won't really hear them in their full meaning of the phrase until you come Home where you really
belong. The magic of those words will never really work fully until you get Here where all is joy. As long as there are still
people suffering from the injustice of the world you're living in, how can you ignore it and experience the total bliss I have
in store for you? Once you've come Home and know that you've done all I expected of you, you were able to, in order to
help alleviate the suffering of others the best you could, tried to bring Home with you as many as you could, you will be
able to enjoy it all the way your heart longs for.
That is the dawn you're walking toward, through the shadows of the world, the light your soul is longing for. Your attitude
should be more one of anticipation than one of having already entered into rest and enjoying your rewards.
For this would be a false attitude, based on the deception many of My believers live in, in this world, that they think they're
just about in Heaven already, and they can really lord it out over the rest of the world... Almost acting as if this earthly
kingdom of theirs were My eternal one.
Remember you're not at home where you are, but that your true Home is still waiting for you. Don't sadden Me by acting as
if you were home already and feeling perfectly comfortable where you are, as if there was nothing better to look forward to.
(III:120)

As you shrink in the significance of the nothingness of this world around you, you grow in all things that really count.
Welcome from the world of nothingness to the World of All Things! You exit the land where all is fake and in reality
nothing, and enter the land of the Real, the land of Everything. - Everything that matters. Everything that lasts, that is
eternal.
That's why it's a golden City, to remind everyone that Here are found the values that will last, like gold, not the futile values
of the world. Keep your eye on that Golden City. (III:130)

To know Me is to know Heaven. If you've got Me in your heart, you've got Heaven in your heart.
There will be Heaven on Earth, because a good deal of Heaven's population is going to come down and take it over and the
King of Heaven will reassume His rightful title of King of Heaven and Earth. (III:137)

You've got to make that conscious effort of seeing each other with new eyes each day, from a clean angle, free of any ugly
memories from the past, of hurts you may have caused each other.
It's a little foretaste of what Heaven and My Kingdom will be like: starting all over, clean-slated. That doesn't mean that past
crimes and sins won't be dealt with, but once they're dealt with, they're also going to be forgiven and as good as forgotten,
and people will get a chance to start all over again clean slated, without having to carry any remorse over their past around
with them.
It's that kind of taste of heaven you've got to be for each other every day: "It doesn't matter whatever you did or said in the
past that may have hurt me: I know you're doing your best, so I'm going to forget all that and just delete it, and I choose to
see you with brand new eyes. (III:283)

Thats the neat thing abut Heaven: everybody can have their dreams fulfilled there, and yet it will all blend together
somehow. A little glimpse of Heaven will direct your focus away from those temporal matters that disturb you. (III:338)

Nothings 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. (III:396)

Theres some pretty far-out stuff going on in Heaven (III:449)

Why not leave the variety I like to create, up to Me, and trust Me that thats okay? It may not be perfectly okay according to
the devils and the Systems standards, but it will be certainly okay according to the status quo of the eternal World to
come! The name of the game there wont be, Try really hard just to act and look and be like everybody else, but Just be
yourself, and enjoy the way God made you! Thats the liberty and freedom I have ordained, not the bondage of having to
worry about how different and apart from the norm I made you!
The norm is on their highway to hell! Only different folks go to Heaven! (III:453)

Knowledge in Heaven is all based on the total and unquestioned acceptance of Gods sovereignty. Its unquestioned that
He is the ultimate and absolute Power behind everything. (III:468)

Your correlation, interactions, and even your interdependence, are all part of My plan, especially for the future, when you
will join us in My Kingdom, where everything is one body, not just individual little parts moving about by themselves.
(III:471)

You have heard about big failures being transformed in Heaven, and you were told to accept that they are not the same
anymore that they used to be.
476
There may still be some tears in Heaven over what they did, and regret for the pain they caused when faced with some of
those who were immediately affected by it. But in the end, I will wipe all those tears from their eyes, and all will be perfect.
(III:473)

Youre not from this world.

Its almost as if youre living in a totally different world than those around you for whom all that counts is material things;
their possessions, and for whom the concept of the spirit world is pretty much an alien one.
You have embraced your heavenly citizenship above your earthly one, and have renounced that. (III:479)

In Heaven, nobody is afraid of being rejected or frowned upon for daring to be different. Heavenly society is truly a colorful
society. (III:499)

People arent aware of the fact that they need Me, and that I need them. Thus they prevent things from becoming the way
theyre supposed to be. The heavenly life is a life where that fact is clear: that I need you all, and you need Me. There is no
shred of a doubt about it, ever. It permeates everything. (III:587)

Youre My connection between Heaven and Earth. You can bring little glimpses of Heaven that I give you to those who are
interested, and pass them on. (IV:106)

When it comes to a place or group of individuals I would really like you to look for with hope and strength, then I would
truly prefer you to put your eyes on Heaven.
The degree to which the army of spirit helpers thats available to you have overcome evil is unequalled by anyone
currently on earth, because they have run the race and finished the course, they have reached their goal and can tell and
show you how you can best reach yours.
Youve got to be full of the conviction of the much superior presence of your true Home, the one where you truly come
from and return to and belong, and convey that conviction to others. Youve got to experience Heaven, and be a living
testimony to that experience. (IV:127)

The way to really make Heaven palatable for others is by living with one foot in it yourself.
Just as they can get glimpses of Me if you keep Me on your mind in all your actions, they can get a glimpse of Heaven, too,
if you stay heavenly-minded and keep Heaven on your mind.
Show them Heaven! (IV:141)

Heaven is not a lonely place with just My Dad, the Holy Spirit and Myself sitting around wondering what to do all day. Its a
Place buzzing with action.
My heavenly City is going to be visible to everybody one day, and its even going to come down to earth and make the
earth the Headquarters of the universe, so to speak, as you can find described in the last two chapters of the Bible (IV:157)

The faulty and flawed leadership of the world will serve to help people appreciate the Real Thing when they will finally see
it, and experience truly righteous and just governance in My Kingdom. (IV:204)

Heaven is for those who are cured once and for all of their addiction to evil. Equally, Heaven is a Place where no such thing
as interest or a desire for evil will ever occur, because it is the single greatest proof that renders evil utterly obsolete. It is
the single greatest statement defying all the lies that make up your present reality, a world and matrix that will fade just like
any erroneous and faulty computer program, an operating system based on wrong information, and thus doomed to
collapse and crash (IV:305)

The truly spiritually and eternally significant things are not the incidents you find on the front pages of the tabloids, but
theyll be written in the annals of history according to the watchers and observers in Heaven, a cloud of witnesses that
surpasses any worldly audience you could ever dream of having.
So, if a lot of things in your life have turned out to be illusions and less than real, the greatest of them is to assume that
youre alone and that youre unimportant. You may be nothing and nobody as far as the entire world is concerned, but from
a heavenly perspective, the onus is on you. (IV:364)

In Heaven, theres certainly a lot more emotion happening than in this sober, dry and reserved world. (IV:393)

When you get to Heaven, everything will have been worth it at an instant.
Its an easy thing for Me to give you a little glimpse of Heaven, to just pour down a few droplets of Heavens Magic that
projects My Realm into your hearts. But your hearts have got to be ready for it, open and willing to receive it, and it just so
happens that broken hearts are the ideal receptacles
I like to pour My healing balm of heavenly and true love upon broken hearts who really appreciate it.
Heaven can wait, as far as the self-sufficient go, those who are so sure they can go through life without My Help. But Im all
ready for those who are desperate for Me, for My Love, My life-giving sap and dew from Heaven. (IV:406)

This world is not your home and you dont really belong there, but you are of a better Place I have prepared for you, and
thats where youre going, leaving the large bulk of them behind, even though you might eventually meet them again Not
of this world? Cheer up, youre not alone!
477
Its that whisking you out of your immediate, temporal little realm into My heavenly and eternal one, where you can see
things a little more from My scope and angle that gives you the faith to overcome the obstacles, since all of a sudden they
dont seem so large and overwhelming anymore.
You begin to realize how easy it is for Me to just lift you above them, and how irrelevant they become once theyre flooded
in the light of Eternity.

Heaven is coming! But in order to get there you might have a little bit of waiting to do, a little bit of learning to truly
appreciate the blessing, so that you wont immediately take all the blessings for granted.

I dont have any problems with you needing My help.

I only might have a problem with your not availing yourself of it, and the general atmosphere Up Here is one of patiently
waiting until you finally do.
You simply must endure; theres no way around it. You must go through this. And when youll come out at the other end,
youll know that it has been worth it. Its comparable to a birth, but not a birth into something as cold and harsh as this
world. Its a birth into a world where you wont have to suffer anymore, but reign and rule. The circumstances wont rule
you anymore, but you will basically reign everything along with Me and a host of folks you wont ever feel strange
around.

Remember that youve got lots and lots of friends Here where there is no such thing as loneliness.

There is a Realm that is greater and far beyond that which is seen, and thats what matters. Call it the spirit or the
Kingdom, but its really all that matters. Thats why I said to seek it first, and all other things would be added unto you.
There arent too many people who really do take that advice seriously. They like to preach and theorize on it, but the folks
who really try to live according to that advice and practice it are very few, so I have to specially and carefully guard those
of Mine who do, or at least give it a chance, and Im not exactly going to strew your path with opportunities to make
physical and worldly endeavors and ambition your priority.
Your priority is the Kingdom. All other things and matters rank second in importance. And the only way you can really
effectively convey the Kingdom to others is by being part of it yourself, experiencing it, living in it. Youre a citizen of My
Kingdom, not of their world, primarily. Your heavenly citizenship must be more important to you than your earthly one. The
only way you can bring heaven to others is by being full of it yourself first.
They must see Heaven in your eyes, feel it in your heart and depth of your soul and they must see it in your smiles! (2011:1)

Fret not, little one, it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Keep in mind that youre citizen of the Kingdom that has by faith and will, physically overcome them.
Your earthly friends may not be able to help you much, but just wait and see what your heavenly friends can do for you.
You folks always underestimate our power, just because were not visible to you, as if visible were the only criterion that
qualifies. (2011:6)

The key words to living in the Here and Now, in the Kingdom, are gratitude and acceptance.
The Kingdom of Heaven, as opposed to the kingdoms of this world basically, as you know from My Word, Satans
kingdom is the Eternal Now, and it is always available to those who seek it and wish to avail themselves of it.
That includes accepting your present situation to some extent, but there is more to it than that. Namely, by seeking Me and
My Presence, and to live and dwell in My Kingdom in spirit, you alter your situation.
By clinging to Me and My eternal Realm, you manage to let go of that which is less important since it is far less real in the
scope of the Big Picture, the eternal scope, the one that really matters. (2011:9)

The pilgrims and strangers who never really feel at home in this world are putting their sight on My new and better one to
come.
And the more your focus is on that Kingdom of Mine, the more it will occupy your thoughts, and thus, the more you will
also share with others about it.
If you seek first Gods Kingdom, all other things will be added unto you, just as they always have: I will not leave you
forsaken, even if you may have been tempted to feel that way or think you were. (2011:14)

The problem with being on top of the world is that you begin to think that this already must be the Kingdom, and that
seeking first the affairs of My Kingdom is the same as business as usual. But does that really sound like Me? Does
anything about My nature strike you as business as usual? If so, youve probably got the wrong picture of Me and arent
very familiar with My true nature, which is the essence of change when it comes to the ways of the world, and what Id like
to bring into it
So, in other words, seeking first My Kingdom basically equals changing the world, and the only way youre ever going to .
(2011:33)

If you have heaven in your heart, youll be able to take a little bit of it anywhere you go, even if the place you happen to be
resembles hell a lot more than heaven.
Where do you think folks will appreciate and need Heaven a lot more? (2011:55)

Something betters coming up thats going to make all this less-than-perfect well worth going through! Thats what drove
478
and spurred on every true man of faith, and you must not lose that heavenly vision! (2011:60)

Every now and then you get a little whiff of My Perfection, and it makes all the apparent chaos look insignificant by
comparison. So, just try to get as many of those whiffs as you can by sticking your nose (metaphorically speaking) high up
into the air for those heavenly breezes that make you forget about all the stench youre having to bear with temporarily
down there - A taste of Heaven. Just a little glimpse of it can make it worth it all and remind you that it pays to go on for
Me, to keep believing and trusting in Me. (2011:62)

If its real happiness youre looking for, you have to look for it in the more lasting values of My Realm. Happiness is a
heavenly thing, not something of earth. You can only experience it on earth providing youve got Heaven in your heart.
(2011:79)

Your problem is your inability to focus more on the better Place I have in store for you that is not of or in this world. (2011:98)

You had always sought to build for yourself some sort of heaven on earth, and I guess you came as close to it as you
could, and I see how thats hard to let go
I had to allow all sorts of bad situations and crises to happen to remind you that this world was not your home. In a
way, you could view those as preparations for what eventually happened: I just took paradise away.
Unfair you think. Why did You give it to us in the first place then?
Well, as a reminder of where youre headed, so that its not purely by faith. Youve experienced little bits and glimpses of
what I have in store for you, so you know its not all an illusion, which youre tempted to think at times, with all that misery
around you. You know theres something better in store for you because youve enjoyed a taste of it.
Now, retaining that taste in a world of evil around you is the challenge, and then offering that taste to others. I never said it
would be easy. But I am saying, its worth it. (2011:115)

By coming to Me for My input at least I can let you know whether you're on the right track or not. But it would be better if
you'd make sure you're constantly tuned in to My voice. (2011:125)

Look forward to the great Hereafter, when youll be finally as close to others as you now can only wish youd be.
Youll have to come to grips with the fact that most of your dreams, hopes and wishes wont be coming to pass in this life,
but if you embrace them as part of your future rewards, it will help you to define more clearly your goals to walk forward
towards. (2011:148)

If life is a bit like hell for you, maybe it's to remind you that so it is for many others, and that it should be your desire and
responsibility to try to bring Heaven to them, or at least let them know that it's accessible to them.
Don't you think that it's good for people to know that there is an option of investing their energies and efforts in the There
and Then, promising more lasting dividends and rewards?
You don't want to push anyone, and you want to make it all as voluntary as possible, but sometimes you could make it a
little clearer that this is what you're trying to advocate, that you're a messenger and ambassador for the heavenly
Kingdom, and that this is what you have to offer... (2012:1)

Having to put up with the hostility and selfishness of people around you causes you to turn to Me for solutions. It makes
you realize that this world is definitely not your home, and My hope is that it will cause you to turn more toward Me and
your true and eternal Home.
The ability to find Heaven in your heart anywhere you are, regardless of your surroundings and circumstances, this is what
could be described as true faith (2012:9)

You dont have much of a clue, except for what I tell you, which is all the more stress on the importance of learning to hear My
voice in this day and age and learning to get My directions on a regular basis. (2012:18)

Its not so much your task to be finding a private little bit of heaven for yourself as it is bringing Heaven to others. (2012:37)

Its good training, getting ready for what at present is the Invisible World, which is waiting for each one of you.
Sometimes you try to picture your entrance into it, and you wonder whether it will come as a total shock, or whether
perhaps youll be disappointed and Heaven wont be quite what you imagined it to be like. But you can get glimpses of it
here and now, and Heaven doesnt have to be limited to your imagination.
You can be - and should strive to be on a much more regular level in touch with Heaven, and imagine what beauty you
can convey to those around you if in meeting you they come to experience a glimpse of Heaven. What on earth could
ever be more worthwhile? Thats why its so important that you avail yourself more of that true and lasting source of
happiness, rather than any of its earthly, temporal counterparts, if not to say counterfeits. (2012:66)

There remains a rest for the people of God thatll make all the agony worth it.
I dont blame you for wanting it in the here and now Just about everybody does. But itll be a lot more appreciated after
what youre currently going through.
Just dont lose your faith in the Real Thing which is to come, and can be enjoyed in glimpses and whiffs of My heavenly
atmosphere whenever you manage to tune into it.
Its going to be the best you ever had, so theres something to look forward to. Not that the here and now for you is all bad,
necessarily, but if even I didnt refer to Myself as good while on earth, youll get an idea of the vast difference between
479
the two realms.
Thats why the end of your world isnt to be dreaded, but to be welcomed as the beginning of the new, the better the
best. (2012:80)

You still keep looking for some heaven on earth, but the times are evil, and what youre asking for may be harder to find
than youre willing to make efforts for. (2012:88)

If theres something there will always be more to get to know about, its Me and My Kingdom.
Thats one of the vast differences between My Realm and the physical: As much as there is to know and learn about this
physical world, that knowledge is finite, and will come to an end; whereas all there is to know about Me and My Realm, the
Spirit World, is endless infinite. (2012:128)

Its a Kingdom; and the purpose of its citizens is to serve the King. (2012:131)

Really putting the Kingdom first doesnt come all that easy with not too many people leading and showing the way, just
fighting the battle of trying to live by faith as much as possible pretty much on your own. (2012:135)

Some of the clean up procedure of Gods Kingdom will consist of pointing out the flaws of those who thought they could
do no wrong to them. (2012:161)

You dont always know where your Promised Land is when you embark on your journey towards it; but thats the
wonderful thing about faith, particularly in Me: Ill always make sure youll find it and get there.
Youre all on a journey seeking a better Home, one that is not from this world, a heavenly Country. And as long as you keep
that vision, youll be making sure youll impart some of it to the folks youll meet on your way there.
If Heavens not worth promoting, sharing and pursuing, then what on earth is?
I know that what youve got right now seems so far away from Heaven. But remember the seed that has to die so it can
grow Sometimes youve just gotta keep on keepin on and keep movin till you get to that heavenly Home I will take you
There. (2012:180)

You wont just be able to live in peace and harmony with your own little family, but My entire, universal Family! Now, thatll
be the Day!
Music in your life is nothing compared to the heavenly sounds youll experience and that will be an integral part of you
when youll arrive in your true, eternal Home.
But you do need these glimpses from time to time to remind you whats up ahead and in store for you, also so that you can
arouse the curiosity in others about what it is youve got that they havent, and what makes you tic, makes you so happy
and content
You know theres more of this to come, and no matter how much you might lose, always more, lots more to gain in the end.
The old must be done away with first, before we can start anew.
But in the meantime, you owe those for whom there is still a chance a glimpse of Heaven and the light and life thats
expecting you! (2013:5)

If you take time and pull down from Heaven some guidance, youll find out that itll definitely be worth it. (2013:16)

The Promise of Heaven is obviously not being fulfilled in this visible realm youre having to cope with, but yet thats where
you dwell most of the time by far, instead of seeking it where it can be found. (2013:46)

It could be a wonderful world, if people were just doing what they ought to, but they dont; and thats going to be the
difference in Heaven. - No more folks doing what they ought not.
So, at least thats one little comforting thought and hope I can give you along on your path. No matter whether Heavens
going to be exactly the way youd picture it or not; the good news is that its bound to be a whole lot better just due to the
fact of the absence of evil. (2013:54)

Another whiff of My truth is another step closer to Me and My Kingdom and the heavenly viewpoint of things. Its like
youre another step higher now than you were before this lesson, and can see things yet another bit more clearly. - Another
step out of their morass and closer to My Kingdoms gates. (2013:81)

Its easier to see the positive, the silver lining and dawn on the horizon from My heavenly vantage point, than when youre
in the mess that mankind have gotten themselves into. (2013:84)

The thing with just about all good things is that they come at a price, and the price of Heaven is that youve got to wait for
it a little bit; and in order to live a happy life while you do, tell others where youre headed and invite them to come along
(2013:94)

Sometimes there are a few problems to be taking care of, not just one, which requires even more help and intelligence
from above, if you want to tackle them successfully, without winding up feeling forsaken by Me and all of Heaven.

480
If you wind up feeling like that, the cause is most likely that you simply didnt care to include, consider or counsel with Us
to begin with, and it will serve as a lesson on the difference it makes when you do, especially when you ought to know
better. (2013:118)

Whats so bad about getting you to think about Heaven and remember your true Home every once in a while, which you
probably wouldnt if you thought youd already found As good as it gets right where you are?
I sent My followers to preach the Good News of the Kingdom, which means, the announcement that theres a better Place
waiting for everyone who chooses to want to go There; and its pitiful how easily so many of My present day followers tend
to forget that essential part of all I had to say and represented in favour of their daily affairs and establishing their own
little kingdoms on earth wherever they are
You can enjoy some of the benefits of Heaven right now, but only to the degree that youre filling your mind, heart, soul
and spirit with Its input. Its not going to work by making your earthly here and now as heavenly as possible in your own
carnal efforts.
Your present will only be as heavenly as you allow Me to make it by the Presence you grant Me in it. So, think a little more
about Heaven, if you want your earthly present and reality to be more heavenly.
Its not that its wrong to think about Heaven, as opposed to striving to live fully in the present. Youve just got to realize
that Heaven is not some distant future event or place youll go to in the future, but its joy is available to you anytime, and
once you learn to avail yourself of it, your earthly moments will also become a lot more enjoyable.
The Place that will make any place on earth as perfect as it can be is My Place, and your availing yourself of it and Its
reality.
The devil tries hard to make yourself deny the reality of Heaven, so that youll walk through life with as bleak an outlook as
possible. But if your hope in Me is in this life only, and theres no Hereafter to look forward to, then youre of all men the
most miserable. In other words, the fact that theres Heaven to look forward to is a great and essential part of your faith,
that you shouldnt allow the Devil to get you to deny yourself.
The best part of the deal that I represent for you and all of those who choose to believe in Me is that Im your free Ticket to
Heaven; and theres nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
Thats the Country of your true citizenship, and One you can be truly proud of.
I went to prepare a Place for you, and I came to tell you about It, and have been sending you forth to tell others about It,
and thats what makes you special, and your life worth living. Avail yourself of it as much as you can. Always be mindful
that this is where you truly belong, and where youre headed, and stay in touch with that heavenly Headquarter. Think
about Heaven, dip your mind in It, and remember thats where youre going, as certainly as any fact can be certain.
(2013:127)

Try to keep your vision on Heaven the most you can! Certainly better than what you can expect in this world. Theres
something better. If that wouldnt be the case, you would have never enjoyed the meaning of life as much (2014:9)

Its worth more to establish and keep faith in the Hereafter than settling it all for the present world. (2014:15)

Heaven doesnt forsake you so easily So, even if life on earth seems a little difficult, theres hope to be keepin and goin
on thats worth it
Thats what Heavens mainly about: to help those for whom life can be pretty rough and tough, but can believe Us Life
goes on for those who keep hangin and believin on. (2014:42)

As you get closer to Heaven, its a time to get ready for the Hereafter something greater and longer lasting than your life
and existence in the world. Its no use to keep investing in your earthly existence, fame and fortune, when youre soon
about to head for Heaven! So, if you keep feeling like you dont have a clue what this world might make you end up in,
maybe give the Hereafter a few thoughts and some preparation
Keep Heaven in your mind and preparing for that (2014:46)

Some things you ought to get used to that wont always be kept up in the Hereafter, either
Life on earth right now is harder, and needs a few things to make it easier for some, but the Hereafter will be different, and
better, and some of the changes you might want to get used to
Since you believe in life hereafter, and you should be remembering that its one of the main things I came to earth for and
taught, you might want to get used a bit more to the thought of it a different life-style than what youre used to now.
(2014:51)

Heaven isnt yet down there where you are, but youll be getting into it, and by now certainly appreciate it, since the world
isnt making it so hot anymore
So just keep trusting Me, that a life following Me will draw you into a much better Place than you can find on earth for right
now. Remember the Creator and that Hes got something better and you should believe and keep thinking about it right
now! Keep thinking about Heaven, your future Home! And you can tell a bit more now why its necessary, since this world,
in the stage where its at, doesnt really cut the cake with it.
Maybe the rest of this life wont be so cool for you because its not quite the same or nearly as great as Heaven, but maybe
giving more attention to Heaven will put some magic on your life that was missing previously, and that others will
appreciate. (2014:55)

481
Remember Heaven and eternal life, the gifts of God, a bit more, instead of making your earthly life revolve all around its
financial values! (2014:74)

Finding out how badly the worldly systems can fail will help you appreciate Heaven a lot more!
Without Heaven what else is there to live for, believe in, have hope for and make you continue with faith in a positive
Hereafter? What else is there of hope than what Heaven has to give? (2014:85)

Just be happy that My Kingdom will be very different and much more pleasant for you. Thats one reason this current
world is there for: to help you appreciate My Kingdom, which lasts eternally. Youll be pretty fed up with the devils vibes by
then, and will nothing but appreciate the dues of Heaven. (2014:87)

Youll find out that the Hereafter is definitely better than what youve had so far! Theres something coming thats far
better! You wont really miss too much what youve had down there when you come Up Here, so, you might as well take
care of preparing for whats coming for you sooner or later.
Its good for you not to expect the good or best parts for you in the present life, but in the Hereafter.
Preparing for Heaven might sound like a good preparation for the end, and a good testimony and witness to others So,
prepare for Heaven!
Living where you know for sure this aint it, life hereafter becomes a lot more what you want, prepare for and will be
expecting with great hope, since the place youre at, you kind of know you dont belong. Well, think some more about the
One you do belong to! Its the One where youre headed!
If hearing from Me and preparing for the life hereafter is becoming more important for you, trust Me, its a good sign;
because eventually you will come and wind up Here, so it will have been worth it to prepare for your ultimate goal instead
of investing most of your energies in your earthly belongings.
Try to remember that life on earth isnt all there is or forever will be, but that theres a much better Place to prepare for, if
youve got the faith in it.
Just remember, theres something better waiting for you, and do all you can to prepare for it. After all, itll be quite a longer
season to spend with other saints and angels than down there where you are.
Maybe there isnt that large an amount of a glorious future to look for in the present world you live in, and one might
consider preparing a bit more for the Hereafter and be of a greater blessing to others (2014:124)

Through the fact that not all spirit folks you heard and read about seem to spend their entire times on earth to interfere,
you may assume that life in Heaven is quite a lot better!
After all youre experiencing down there on earth lately, you might want to think some more about Heaven and the positive
that awaits folks Here Itll definitely be the more positive side and deal of life believe Me. (2014:125)

Just remember: this world is not your home! Theres something better waiting for you, and all in all it should mean that this
temporal world along with its temporal values shouldnt be quite that important to you. Not as much as whatll be coming
and waiting for you afterwards.
The Hereafter will be pretty much bigger than this temporal world and your temporal life in it, altogether.
Theres something better waiting for you; and in order to prove and express that it might be worth it, dedicate more of your
thoughts and efforts to it.
Here in the Spirit World your existence will be a whole lot better than the temporal one, so its not a bad thing to actually
prepare for it a bit more, and not just concentrate and focus on this world right now and what can be accomplished in it,
but concerned about getting others hooked on the vision for the Hereafter, as well.
Dont let the world bring you down so much, but focus more on your way Up! Focus more on your goal and whats coming
for you hereafter! It can only be better! Dont you think so? (2014:132)

Can you still believe in the There and Then, instead of the here and now? Well, maybe thats part of the reason for which
your here and now became tougher than anything you ever had.
In My Kingdom folks will like you a lot more if you tune in to My way of seeing and doing things than just trying to make it
according to worldly rules to become successful or popular.
Its not about the amount of money or fame you made, when you arrive Here. Its about humbler things, and the way you
managed to make love work through you in your current life, and you managed to make your faith work through and for
you. (2014:134)

The more you seek for My place that is waiting Here for you, the better your heart and mind are geared toward the proper
kind of Home, and not necessarily some place in the temporal world where all things wind up turning into dust eventually.
(2014:142)

This world is not your home so get ready and prepared for that which is gonna be your true home: Become more
heavenly-minded, and try to keep your vision up that way heavenly-minded! (2014:144)

In Heaven, the flesh once trusted in has gone absent, and all in all, the spirit worlds way is working differently in and
through you Lets say, more the eternal way than the temporal.
Being bound by time is one of those things of living in the temporary world and youll find out that the eternal mode will
turn out quite a lot nicer. - Less loss of things. It makes a difference when most things you deal with just last forever. Part

482
of the temporal life youre going through is to teach you and make you appreciate that difference, and youll agree that this
is better for sure. (2014:147)

Humility is a basic part of the heavenly structure. Being too convinced of yourself and your own greatness isnt exactly a
part of saintliness, but rather the opposite (2014:148)

Have some trust in the Hereafter, and try to live for it, if you cant make it to see any positive views for you in the here and
now.
keep your mind and vision on whats to come. - Definitely better than the here and now for you. Look Up ahead and seek
first the Kingdom, instead of success in the here and now, which will only be temporal, anyway.
Try to be a bit more heavenly-minded, come what may! (2014:159)

Looking forward to Heaven is not a bad thing to do. As a believer in Me and life hereafter, thats a thing one should do
and yet, many would rather not. Often because all they know for sure about is the here and now, and so they might get a
little scared of the there and then, until the here and now turns out to be a bit too ugly to enjoy, and that well might be an
opportunity of preparation for the there and then and hereafter life to come and Heaven. (2014:163)

Seeking first My Kingdom means youre investing your life in Heaven, the eternal Hereafter, and nothing of that is gonna be
lost, so, definitely much more worth it all your efforts and all you put into it.
So, its the wise choice to make the one youll wish youll have made when youll get Here, where all these things will
count forever.
So, its time to stop investing all your efforts in the here and now (which will fade and be lost) and into the Kingdom
hereafter instead. (2014:164)

If you can prepare for the Hereafter a bit more, you dont have to worry so much about everything! If youre ready for
whats expecting you Here, in the Spirit World, things are going to go a lot easier for you than when you feel like you need
to worry about all the little details that plague you there in the present place you are.
As unpleasant as it is there for you, it should comfort you a little bit that its not forever you have to stay there or going to
last there, and it should cheer you up that theres something much better awaiting you afterwards. Dont let whatever you
can achieve in the world be your big goals, but focus a bit more on the Hereafter, where much better things are expecting
you than in the physical present place or dimension youre living in.
Sometimes the enemy tries to tell you there isnt anything better to expect, but you should refuse to listen to him, and
listen to Me instead, telling you the opposite. If I rose 3 days after My physical death, and all of My disciples found out
about it and saw and met Me, it was for the purpose of raising My followers faith in the afterlife, which, trust Me, is going
to be much better than the here and now for you!
The here and now may be very tough for you, but the more you focus on the There and Then, the better it will be for you,
and life is going to be a lot more pleasant, youll see! Just trust in Me for whats to come for you! Itll be significantly better
than the here and now for you, for sure! Trust in Me and My Promise that the future will be better for you than this current
present! (2014:168)

The difference that My part of the spirit world will make, makes you more thankful for Heaven.
Once your reality starts reminding you of hell somewhat, or appearing very much like it, you start appreciating My part
more, and start looking forward to Heaven hereafter, and give the here and now for you less importance. You can finally
realize that this life on earth has largely as good as nothing to do with Heaven hereafter, and you can largely just wish that
you can somehow bring it closer to others by describing what you perceive of it and have experienced.
It just shows that its pretty important to stick to Heaven and get out of Hell! To move toward the top, Heaven, and get out
of the rock bottom of hell as much as you can to keep your vision geared to Heaven, since, unfortunately, theres not
much left of it on earth, having pretty much been taken over by the enemy. (2014:174)

Theres a much better part expecting you Up Here! Try to get a little more Heaven-minded when life on earth reminds you
too much of hell! Try to stay getting tuned to Me more when the devil tries to get you out of the Spirit down there! I know
lifes a lot rougher for you now than it used to be, but it might have a good reason: To train you and make you a better
fighter down there, as well as make you appreciate the fact that Heavens coming, a lot more to get you less tied up to
the life down there, and not make you think thats everything. Think about Heaven to make you smile.
Its time for you to realize that life down there on earth just isnt as good as Heaven! Its time to realize that theres
something better awaiting you Up Here! So, think about it a bit more, and look forward to it!
Think about Heaven, and show some appreciation that theres a better place for you to wind up than this planet down there
right now and the state its in. Therell be better times! My promise to you! Even if not all down there on earth, but all
the more Up Here, in Heaven, your future Home! Get used to that thought, and dont stay too attached to life down there,
which youre finding out definitely also has its rough parts youll only be finally getting rid of Up Here! So, look forward to
your times Up Here! Itll be so much better than down there! (2014:187)

Its good to remember that youre not of this world, and to get ready for whatever place I call and lead and guide you to.
And not just to have fun, but to be a witness and testimony in honour of whats to come, which as you believe, and ought
to know since indeed its so is much better than this world has to offer in its current state.
So, hang on and hold on to the Place where you do belong and is so much better than the here and now! Hang on to Me
and to your faith in whats to come, which is certainly better than what the world around you has to offer! (2015:7)
483
Being aware of the fact that life on earth isnt too far away from hell on earth should help you appreciate the good side of
things in the Hereafter for you a bit more the reason why I came to earth and lived there for a few decades, dying a cruel
death to save all you guys who choose to believe in Me from an uglier hereafter and have you folks join Me in a nicer
Place. (2015:9)

If you dont feel at home in the part of the world you were born in, it kind of shows and confirms that this world is not your
home, and that there must be some better Place for you somewhere, and to keep looking for that is many peoples sense
of life. When theyre finding nothing in this world to satisfy them or give them happiness where else do you think they
might find it? (2015:13)

Even though you may not be able to see the promised Hereafter in the here and now, there should be other positive
occurrences from your faith that should make it become possible for you to believe in a better Hereafter.
Maybe its a rough and tough situation youre in and circumstances youre under, but if you manage to keep trusting in Me
and the Father and believe in a better Hereafter, it should make it all possible, feasible and worthwhile for you. (2015:15)

To put your trust in Me and the Father, along with Heavens aid, is definitely better for you in the long run than the trust in
yourself and your physical abilities that you had put a lot of trust in over the years you were able to largely rely on that.
How about putting more of your trust in Us, your heavenly helpers, Creator, and the angels that can help you out, too?
(2015:16)

Looking forward to Heaven in the hereafter is definitely what should be part of your faith. And even if youre not too scared
of death because you believe in it, you might also become a bit more prepared for whats expecting you Here.
I certainly wouldnt have agreed with the Father to let the earthly life end this way, if the Hereafter wouldnt be so much
more recommendable. So, its definitely Something to look forward to, and not be all stuck up mentally in the here and now
youre presently in! Let it become part of your faith and your life to prepare for the eternal mode after this!
That eternal Home awaiting you How much more welcome should it be the closer you get towards it. Just let it be part of
your mindset, your faith and your mental and spiritual attitude that theres something so much better awaiting you, and let
it be what youre walking up and traveling towards! Let Heaven be your vision, your goal, and something to offer to others
to look forward to as well, since all they need to do in order to get Here after their earthly lives, is to receive Me in their
hearts. Let Heaven be a major part of what your life is all about, or at least the vision of it, the faith in it, and making it the
main part of your goal in life!
Come closer to Heaven! Get your heart and mind Here, so that it wont be too strange for you having to accept that this is
where youre headed!
When its a greater part of ones life to bring Salvation, and thus, Heaven, to others, it also plays a major roll in your life in
the here and now.
Whats faith in Me and the Father all about but the Hereafter and the so much better part of all things to come? Make
Heaven part of your vision again, make it your goal, and the Place you know youre headed for! You wont regret letting it
become a greater and more important part of your mind, vision, attitude and whole life. Itll also mean a bit more of Heaven
for you right where you are. Because the more something affects and becomes part of your mind and action, the closer to
you it gets. And if its Heaven, itll definitely make you feel better, since its the best one can live for. Make Heaven your
goal! More than money or good looks in the mere here and now that youre currently in. Youll see. You definitely wont
regret it. (2015:19)

Get ready; become prepared for the Hereafter

Getting prepared for whats coming up ahead in life is part of the job and the task. (2015:26)

There seems to be a time in life to go through suffering so you can learn the difference between whats up now and the
hereafter maybe not even so much to just make sure youll appreciate the hereafter enough, but to also see the vast
difference, and why things need to get changed (2015:27)

Keep your eyes on Heaven above, and keep that goal more steadily upon your mind! Life on earth just doesnt last forever,
and if you believe in the Hereafter, eventually comes the time to prepare for it, even if it still may seem a bit tough and
difficult to leave the here and now. (2015:28)

Theres something better and worthwhile coming after this life. So, best is to trust Me for both: the here and now, as well
as the then and hereafter. (2015:30)

If the flesh gets weakened, it means, its time to strengthen the spirit get prepared for the Hereafter put your trust
some more in Me, and learn to depend on Me and My help.
Things just wont continue forever as they are, and youll be best off by preparing for it through depending more on Me
and your heavenly help than your former own abilities and strengths.
Youll become more dependent on heavenly help as times on earth are getting rougher. So tune in to Us more, and stay
tuned in! Depending on Us is what will see you through!
Hanging on to Me and becoming more dependent on My and Heavens help should draw us closer, and get you more into
My gear and way of doing things (2015:32)

484
Try to remember that whats expecting you in the future beyond this life will be better than all of what you experienced in
this life! Theres something better comin up, and its worth looking forward to it.
All I can tell you if you believe in Me and have received Me is, whats comin up for you will be so much better! So, dont be
scared of it, but look forward and up to it!
Once youre getting more prepared for whats to come after this life, youll be able to give more hope of it to folks youll
meet, who might not have found Me yet So, think a bit more of Heaven, and prepare a bit more for it, and dont be scared
of your goodbye from this world.
Try to remember that whats coming ahead of you is going to be better, and nothing to be scared of. Nothing to worry
about!
Life after death isnt something to be scared of, but for believers something to look forward to. So, dont be scared, but
look forward! (2015:33)

Keep trusting Me that the blessings hereafter will largely rise above the ones folks have in the here and now!
While others may be winning the better deals in the here and now, keep trusting that youll get them in the there and then,
when and where My reign will have taken over your surrounding! (2015:34)

Get prepared for the way to go by My strength and depending on the help from Above!
Get ahold of Heavens Power to aid you!
Depend on Me and Heavens help and get used to the fact of your needing it and dependence on it! Youll make it if you
hang on and hold on to Me and Heavens help, and thats what the current time and episode is all about and meant to teach
you. (2015:36)

Thats where youre headed, ultimately: the Spirit World a different, and trust Me: more glorious dimension, and a much
more lasting one, not just this temporal existence youre having to cope with right now. (2015:37)

If you cant feel at home in this world anymore, welcome to the club and true host of those who only feel at home in Gods
World!
How could you feel at home in a world run by the enemy of God?
Theres something better in store, and its good to look ahead and forward to it. If you cant make it very well down there
anymore, dont worry! Youll make it all the better Up Here!
So, look forward a bit more at whats to come! Make it a bit more your Home, although you cant exactly visualize it, and
its all by faith. But Id say Heavens definitely a thing and Place worth believing in.
So, look forward to it, like the goal of your life youre headed towards! Let it be a reason for the comfort that theres a
better Place and Home to come, even if you cant see it yet right now, and that makes it all a matter of faith. (2015:38)

If the heavenly Spirit World becomes more important to you than the physical and temporal, thats a good sign and shows
youre preparing a bit for whats to come, and arent just focusing on the here and now, but are staying a bit more attuned
to the There and Then, where youll wind up eventually.
When the here and now and temporary world cannot promise so much anymore, thats a good opportunity for believers to
focus on the There and Then, and whats coming, which, believe Me, is quite a bit more positive than your momentary,
worldly there and then.
For some people, the earthly life is all there is at least thats what they think and feel. But if you dont, and are pretty
certain of the There and Then, it might be good to prepare and get ready for it somehow.
Whats faith in Me and the Father all about than the certainty that theres something better to come? So, why not focus and
concentrate a bit more on that, and become more heavenly minded? Especially when it looks like you might land there
soon (2015:43)

Dont cast all your strengths and energies into this world, but better aim more at whats to come hereafter! And invest
whatever you can of the here and now into that faith in the fact that something betters coming up ahead!
Remember that a lot of the good stuff in the there and then stems from the gift of grace! Its not something you earned, like
the positive features in this temporal world! Some rewards, sure, but even the strength to gain them is all by grace. (2015:44)

There have been awful times for many believers on earth before they got Here, where everything made up for the hard and
rough times they had to go through was over. So, try to trust in better times ahead, even if theyre not visible right now,
okay? The future is as bright as the Promises of God.
Its important for you to make your faith in Heaven and your World to come stronger as the world below gets darker.
Make an effort right now to learn to get and stay as close to Me and the heavenly Spirit World as you can! (2015:45)

Think about Heaven as much as you can, and a better future in store for you Up Here, and dont get so sidetracked by the
pretty sad state of the world youre in right now!
Your life was a bit more of a taste of Heaven before, but it has turned into something with a lot more taste of what youd
consider hell to be like. Well maybe a reminder to think more about Heaven, and focusing more on that final goal of
believers.
For many folks, life down there is all there is, as far as they know or believe But shouldnt you, as a believer in the Up
Above live a bit more positively due to that positive hope and outlook upon whats coming up ahead for you?
Think about and focus on Heaven! Let the happier goal of the believers in Me play a bigger factor in your life, if that doesnt
have much to offer right now that gives you happiness. No more happiness in this life? Then think about whats there to
485
come! Have hope in the future according to My Promises! And I promise you a much better Hereafter than what this world
has to offer right now.
So, no matter how horrible life on earth may get, think about and focus on the Hereafter! Think about Heaven, and look up
ahead towards It, Amen?
Keep your spiritual eyes upon Heaven as much as you can the bright hope of the future. (2015:47)

Get prepared for the Hereafter in Heaven! Thats what believers should do, and not just get stuck in the temporal life as if it
was all there is and lasts forever. That forever part is Up Here, and as a believer, one should somewhat prepare for it, since
thats where theyre heading!
Theres something better awaiting you up ahead. So, dont let this earthly life frustrate you! Its bound to end in any case.
So, let whats coming thereafter cheer you up and inspire you! Im Here, and a whole bunch of other folks and beings, and
trust Me: Its not going to be boring! (2015:49)

Getting prepared for whats to come afterwards should be one of the major keys for all, and especially My believers.
Keep pointing your attentions in the right directions: Up Here, instead of down there!
As long as you keep looking Up, your look and attention will be pointed in the right direction. And while its getting worse
down there, you can definitely see the necessity of looking up quite a bit more, right?
In Heaven, folks are less concerned about their looks than other matters that care about and focus a lot more on love than
vanity does, and ones concern about their own looks! (2015:50)

If youre attached to your heavenly helpers and Source of spiritual strength, in the long run, you will be stronger! So, keep
trusting in whats available for you from Up Here!
If there are many weakening factors surrounding you in your earthly life, it means that its bound to make you stronger in
the spirit, relying on the strength from above, and thats a much more lasting one, and the necessary one for the Hereafter.
So, keep trusting! Even if things may seem difficult and tough for you right now, keep trusting that theyre bound to make
you stronger in the long run! Hold on to Me and your entire connection to the strength from above! Keep your faith, hope
and trust in It growing stronger. (2015:51)

Your relation to the world has strongly decreased, which, since the world has become a lot darker, spiritually, in many
aspects, is definitely rather a positive quality, according to Our vision and perceptions Up Here.
Not just living for obtaining success or making a fortune in the world anymore is a rather positive change according to Our
spiritual and heavenly standards.
Not expecting this world and your temporal life to be all the reason for your physical existence down there brings you a bit
closer to Us, since youre finally becoming more interested in Our Realm, which, for you, is the Hereafter. Let it create a bit
more of a heavenly vision in you for whats to come, and the not just temporarily limited Hereafter (2015:53)

Try hard to keep your mind geared up to Me and Heaven, instead of that big worldly temptation which certainly wont last
forever, as you know from My Words prophetic forecasts.
Keep your vision for strength focused on Me and your heavenly goal Here, Up Above, and turn it more into your conscious
goal in your life, instead of physical and material temporary success!
Make the most important factor in your life the lasting ones, and dont get into the worldly gear of focusing on only the
temporal! Put your main faith, vision and hope into the Hereafter, instead of the temporal world ruled by our enemy! Thats
what the life of faith is supposed to be all about.
Having a rough time there should remind you of your true and eternal Home, and make you a little more conscious of and
active in heading Here mentally, spiritually, and even in your current physical actions. Make Heaven what you think and
even talk about when you can and feel led to! Make It your Home!
Lift your expectation and spiritual vision Up Here, your future and lasting Home in Heaven! So much better than your
momentarily depressing surroundings!
Become more Heaven-minded! Gear your vision and your goal in Our direction! Make it all more pleasant for you, as you
change your vision and outlook, and thus also for the ones youll meet and live with! If Heavens a part of your faith, it
shouldnt be neglected paying attention to. Think about and move your spiritual vision toward your future Home! Youll be
more welcome Up Here than you are down there, because youre one who belongs Here one of Us.
- A little hard to believe because you cant see it yet? Well, remember, thats what faith is all about: Believing in what right
now you may not yet be able to see. Including your everlasting future Home.
Try to make it your goal and what you consciously move towards! Keep Heaven in mind, or put It there, if its not. Definitely
better than the state of that temporal world youre in right now, and others might appreciate that faith in It, too, if you can
help to pass it on and share it with those whod long for it!
Share Heaven with those who want it and might long for it! So, make It part of your conscious mind!
Want something better than this temporal world youre in right now? Well, Here It is: your true Home, and the One for all
whove received Me as their Saviour! (2015:54)

Remember to keep your spiritual view upward, and dont let the physical circumstances drag you down so much! Have a
little more faith that We, Up Here, know what Were doing, and have a reason for permitting whats going on and
happening.
This world is not your Home, but theres a better One waiting for you up ahead, and it would be good to pass on that
attitude and faith.

486
Make sure youre getting prepared for My place, and manage to be some sort of witness of It to let others know as much as
you can that theres something good coming hereafter.
I know the situation is rough down there, but let it serve for this one thing, to prepare you more and cause you to look Up
ahead more toward the better Place thats coming, and will be a much better Home, without any death expecting you.
You can probably see that there are quite a few others who deserve making it Here as well, so, remember your job and task
to let them know how to get Here by receiving Me!
As ugly as your present may be, keep an eye on the brighter future for you and believers, which is already here for those
who made it Here, or can spot visions of It from down there. Make it as huge a part of your reality as you can, so that the
temporary physical world doesnt drag you down too much!
I know you havent lived for and focused too much on the Hereafter, but more on your temporary there and then, but its
time to focus on the believers goal and destination! Its time to focus your view on something higher, your future, and the
much better Place to spend the hereafter, even though you havent seen too much or any of it yet. But, hey, thats what
faith is all about. A definitely brighter future and a more glorious existence hereafter than what the present has to offer
you.
Remember that your Creator ought to be capable of preparing a better Hereafter for you than what your present has to
offer! Become a bit more positively heavenly-minded and let others catch a glimpse of My World from you somehow! And
if you attract them well enough to make it Here, theyll be thankful for that help forever! (2015:55)

That the Spirit World is some dimension above the material and physical world is something youre becoming aware of,
even if you cant imagine much of it right now but you can become geared to it, knowing thats where youre headed. So,
looking forward to seeing you Up Here whenever, and without you being shocked about it when you come!
If that present world doesnt manage to make you happy anymore, well, its time to remember theres One youre headed
for that will make you happy once you make it Here, because theres quite a big difference between the way things go and
run Up Here, as compared to down there! And youll notice it and love it!
If theres a Creator at work at all, then you must realize there must also be a better space and dimension and World to live,
than all that your temporal and physical world can come up with right now dont you think?
Becoming heavenly-minded is definitely a better mental and spiritual state for you Looking Up ahead, instead of just
rolled into your physical surroundings, which arent everlasting.
So, just see the positive side of whats happening around you right now: as preparation for the Hereafter, which is
something all believers ought to get prepared for. Prepare for whats coming! Especially the final, greater Up Ahead! The
eternal Home not limited to temporal existence.
You wont be tied to that physical body anymore thats victim to aging and diseases or accidents Nor will there be any
sort of stuff hooked to any of the surroundings! No garbage, no dirt no more danger! No sickness or death And a lot
more possibilities and abilities for doing things you cant right now. - Nothing not worthy of looking forward to! So,
definitely something to prepare for, instead of focusing almost entirely on the temporal dimension youre in right now.
Focus more on whats to come: the Here and Now of the Spiritual and heavenly Realm! Your future Home! And a whole
lot better than where you are feeling a bit stuck in right now! But remember: Just there in order to prepare you for a better
time Here! (2015:61)

Some of the human traits are just not welcome or acceptable Up Here in Heaven, and some of them have to be gotten rid of
first, before folks can make it here. Just as you see that childrens habits and ways of acting have changed a lot these
days, and youre having a hard time to cope with them well, not all of that behavior is acceptable in the heavenly Sphere,
either, and some of it has to be gotten rid of beforehand, or fairly rapidly changed once such folks get Here.
Otherwise, some lessons might have to be learned and completed still, down there (2015:62)

Trust a bit more in Heaven to come, and dont just focus on the negative things around you, but let it make you focus more
on the better things to come.
If lifes circumstances offer a lot of negatives, let it remind you that theres something better to come from the Creator!
The Place you might call your true Home, since this present world doesnt really seem to be or occur to you as such. So,
just keep looking forward to your True Home thats coming closer toward you pretty much with every day of your life
passing! Itll make it easier for you to say farewell to this temporary world youre momentarily stuck in and dont feel so
happy in. Theres something better coming, and you can call it your true Home!
Im hoping youre getting a bit more prepared for it. Dont let the current time and circumstances drag you down, but focus
on, and get prepared for the better ones, up ahead! Trust and rely on that theres something better coming! (2015:65)

If you dont feel at home in that world, let it be a confirmation that your true Home is elsewhere: right Up Here, where I am!
Remember that this world is not your home, and that youve got a better Place waiting for you! Think a bit more about
Heaven! Maybe itll make you smile.
If down there you dont feel at home, let it be a reminder that your true Home is Up Here!
The more you think about it and keep it in mind, that new World waiting for you, the better off youll be, and the easier and
more enjoyable your times on earth will pass; and the more youll most likely be motivated to tell others about and invite
them to your future Home, which can be theirs, too, if they just receive Me into their hearts, as you did.
Sharing Heaven is a good vision and purpose for living you should focus on and cling to.
Yes, life down there can be tough. But all the more youll appreciate it when youll make it Home Up Here! So, keep your
focus on This, your Home to come, as much as you can, in order to make it help you bear with your trials and battles there,
remembering that itll all be worth it, every hard time and trial youve had to go through! Learning to appreciate your Future
Home a bit better and forever well, it takes some time and a bit of effort and pain down there, but it will be worth it. So,
487
focus on the heavenly life thereafter, which will make everything you have to go through now worth it, and if you do, will
make it somewhat easier to bear with, too! Keep your vision on the good Thing to come!
Life can be rough, and it can be tough, but itll be worth it all when youll have enough of that, and will be ready to come Up
Here! Theres something better waiting for you, so, dont take whats going on down there too tragically! Make Heaven your
goal, vision and purpose, and youll find out itll be a lot easier to put up with it all down there: some temporal trials and
tests to be welcomed by eternal rewards and comfort. Theres something better waiting for you Up Here. So, relax and
think about it and look forward to it, and let it instill you with its joy!
The tougher it gets down there, the greater the challenge for Me, which is great since the more youll also realize how
much you need the alternative and your true and lasting Home Up Here! Focus a bit more on the Spirit World and get a bit
out of the groove of the flesh! It may have been tougher before, but now its great youre more appreciative of whats to
come.
Just let that vision strengthen you to give you more power to fulfill your purpose down there!
One of the things about life is finding out that down there it cannot be perfect, because the perfect Place to make living
just like that is Up Here. Im sorry life can be so awful and rough down there, but maybe itll help to turn your vision Up
Here and make you a bit more Heaven-minded.
Theres not much use in looking for heaven and just about perfect moments, much less hours or days down there, where
theres too much stuff happening that pretty much ought not to be. And to folks like you theyre happening to remind you
that your true Home is somewhere else. If you feel like a stranger down there, its because you are. (2015:68)

By far the greater part of life follows in the Hereafter, and the temporal, earthly life isnt nearly as great as whats to follow.
You shouldnt let that faith in the Hereafter shrink!
Consider that the weaker and older you get in the flesh, the less youll mind showing up in Heaven, eventually, because the
less important the physical life will wind up for you!
So, think about and become more conscious of the fact that theres something greater and better expecting you hereafter,
and you dont have to get so stuck on and preoccupied by what this temporary, earthly existence has to offer, or
challenges you with.
Get out some of My heavenly message, and start looking forward to the better part of your eternal life, hereafter!
Just remember that the much greater part of eternal life is coming hereafter, and dont let the enemy get you to doubt that,
but look forward to it, as the best to come, which trust Me! It is! (2015:69)

Get into the groove of Heaven, your future Home, as much as you can by faith. Even though you cant see or picture it
exactly, what its like Just trust your Creator for having a good enough taste to make a Place youll definitely wind up
liking. And the more Heaven-minded youll get, the less unpleasant the rest of your time on earth will be, since, the more
youll tune in to Heaven, the heavenlier youll be, and thats definitely a positive feature.
Its true that thereve been some great places youve seen and been to on earth, and the Millennium and future of the earth
will even be a lot better, but in the meantime, for right now, Heavens the best Place around (2015:71)

Make My Place, not of this world, your home, and be a messenger as someone of it, advertizing it as something better
awaiting folks who dont feel at home in this current world, either!
It might be wonderful if you could share that and instill it in others; letting them know that theres something better
awaiting them.
Is there anything greater and better to share than the following Hereafter I promise?
Be grateful theres something better and greater to expect than what this world has to offer!
Be all the more thankful for, and dwell in the faith in the life eternal hereafter under much better, greater, and more pleasant
conditions than that current, merely carnal one!
Trust Me that theres something more to come, and something much greater and better than what youve currently had to
be going through!
Something better is coming! Is that good news, or what?
Theres something better to come! So, keep looking forward to it and keep preparing for it, letting others know as well
about It coming!
Can you share a bit of Heaven and of Me with folks? Thats what was meant to be your reason and purpose for living!
Those expecting Heaven, ought to share it! (2015:73)

The world youre in is not your home; not where you belong, and theres a better Place ahead of you, youll be better able
to call Home, and feel at home indeed.
This world youre living in is not your home; remember that and the fact that Ive prepared a much better one for you,
where youre headed. So, keep Heaven on your mind, and dont get too absorbed by what that physical world youre in has
to offer for you!
If you think about whos getting more and more in charge of it, youll realize why its not much of heaven on earth thats
left, but slowly but surely turning into hell a lot more. So, be aware of that, and let it help you realize why youre not feeling
at home there, but are really longing for a better Place, which is what I came to earth to give to those whod believe in Me.
So, if you dont know exactly what faith in Me does for you, think about the better Hereafter a Place youll truly call
Home! (2015:80)

This world simply isnt your real home anymore, but a much better One, where Were in charge!
Why not put a little more faith in Me and the much greater World Up above? (2015:83)

488
Cling to Me and keep looking Up!
The world is so temporal, and thus, bound to go under, which is completely different from the eternal nature of the
spiritual Realm - My Realm, in which youll wind up eventually, and where youre headed.
Just get closer to Me, and feel more at Home Here, where youll wind up after youll have been through that spectacle down
there, just as I had been, but eventually, like Me, youll wind up in the better Place far beyond the temporal world, and far
superior A little hard still to fully believe in while being surrounded by the circumstances of the temporal world, but
thats the advantage of tuning in more to Me and your spirit helpers, and the Spirit from Above!
If you got sucked in a bit too much into the ways of the world, well it was supposed to be a lesson to you, and it brought
you to this point right now where you can definitely appreciate more the sense, purpose and being of what for you and all
true believers comes thereafter!
So, keep your main vision on whats to come, not whats surrounding you right now down there! Value whats to come,
above what youre passing through right now, and keep putting and seeking It first!
Remember seek ye first the Kingdom of God! (Mt.6:33)
Keep your vision Up Here as the first thing and the most important goal in your mind, your life, and everything that makes
you move; and just fight hard against any distractions from the world or the enemy to get you tripped off from that vision
and goal!
Seek It first, and you wont regret it! Better to be in tune with Up Here than whats down there. The difference between them
is overwhelming; trust Me!
It may be tough having to deal with all those things down there, but if you just make a serious effort to keep Our Kingdom
on the first place in your heart and mind, you wont regret it, but itll make a Heaven of a difference to your attitude and the
state of your heart and whole being! Theres a good reason why you ought to keep your mind and heart in this direction Up
Here! (2015:84)

Dont see it as something negative that youre not feeling at home in this world anymore, but see it as a confirmation that
Heaven is your true and proper Home where you belong.
Im working on making you appreciate and long for the Hereafter more
So, its good youre experiencing a bit more preparation for the Hereafter, including learning to have some more
appreciation for having Something to expect that will be worth it all.
So, let the negativity of the present strengthen your positivity toward your future, and whats expecting you with Us!
If you cant feel at home there at all anymore, remember: Thats the reason! You dont really belong there, but in Our Home,
where youll feel much more at home than in any place this world currently has to offer.
Is it really any wonder you cant manage to feel at home there?
So, be glad and thankful theres a better One expecting you! A spiritual one, and not a materialistic one where the desire
for temporal things power the entire beings of the majority of folks! (2015:85)

Become a less selfish person, and thus with the ability to look better forward to the Hereafter My Place, where
selfishness in the past life isnt that greatly rewarded. (2015:86)

The fact that you cant feel too comfortable or too much at home in your home country confirms that this world, in the
state its in, is not your home, and that you should keep your vision more geared towards the everlasting Home hereafter,
and maybe catch some kind of a greater vision for it, based on greater faith and expectations. (2015:87)

The only thing I can encourage you to keep your focus and spiritual view on, is your heavenly Home hereafter. Think about
Heaven and look forward to it; since not to much great stuff might be expecting you from the current world youre in
anymore. And the more you think about Heaven, the more you might manage to tell others about it.
in order to enjoy Heaven, youll have to get your mind out of this world. Seek first My Kingdom of Heaven, and get your
mind off of whats all around you as much as you can
Theres something better Up ahead, and you should keep your spiritual vision, focus and expectation on that, so you get
into the shape of inviting others Here!
When you realize your own weakness, its a golden opportunity to apply and ask for strength and power from Above.
(2015:88)

Put more emphasis on preparing for the Hereafter: a much differently run and established Kingdom than what sort of
governments the enemy has tricked folks into establishing! (2015:89)

The fact that the world doesnt feel like your home to you, isnt a bad one, but a confirmation that youre one of Us, who
feel that Home is elsewhere. So, dont ever feel tempted to feel bad about longing for something better
If the here and now for you doesnt cut the cake, put your vision as much as you can into the There and Then!
Trust that therell be greater powers to come from the Spirit World, the Spirit of the Father and Me! Theres greater Power
over Here than what folks know over there, in your current realm. Greater Power and Greatness. (2015:91)

Having too pleasant times on earth and this world right now means less of a longing for Heaven and your Gods Kingdom
thereafter. (2015:93)

Appreciating more whats coming Hereafter will make some sense to you the ability to appreciate it all the more due to
having lived in a world taken over by the enemy. (2015:94)

489
There are quite a few Up Here who are concerned about and want you to make it, dealing with these hard times and get the
victory out of it. And, after all, Im not refusing to give you My help and counsel; and its a good sign when Heavens helps
still there for you, isnt it?
So, it was good asking for it and as a result to receive some confirmation that theres still some help for you available from
Up Here! (2015:95)

When the good times are over, its a sign to prepare and get ready for the not so good ones and remember that this
world is not your home, and that theres a better one coming.
The less you feel at home there, the more you can feel at home Here, where I am! (2015:96)

Remember to be more Heaven-minded, and turn your spiritual views up to Us Up Here, who will help you!
You need Us and that heavenly help! (2015:98)

Being able to trust in Me and the Father, in spite of all the negative that's happening on earth through the enemy, well,
that's faith, and you can be sure of its reward once you get to your true Home!
Don't be worried too much if it all drives you into greater dependence of Me and will make you need Me and the help from
Above more!
Remember, you've got Mine and Heaven's help! (2015:99)

Consider it a privilege to be at Home Up Here with Me and all of us a much better place than where you have to pass a
relatively short while left right now! And may that short while serve to make you long more for your true and everlasting
Home, look Up ahead to it, and let it serve to prepare your heart a bit more for It, a Place where you'll be able to feel much
more at home than where you're having to stick it out right now temporarily. At best, to try to get some more folks Up
Here eventually, who don't feel that much at home down there, either! (2015:100)

Ask for help from Up Here, which is, as you ought to remember on a regular basis, too, your Home the Place you
ultimately belong, and thats not taken over by the enemy, nor ever will be!
Remember, theres a lot of help Up Here to apply, making even seemingly impossible things for you possible.
Remember that world is not your home, but the Place where We are, and youll arrive, and will definitely make it all worth it
for you what youve had and are having, and will have to go through!
So, while due to the choices of the majority of folks down there and the enemys deception of them, his power and might
seem superior, remember that Up Here, in the ultimate region of the Spirit World, its not, and never will be. So, ultimately,
being on the stronger and more powerful side, youre also one of the stronger and more powerful ones on the spiritual,
and thus eternal side! (2015:104)

Your true and lasting Home is waiting for you, and itll make up for all that youve been through and are still having to go
through, trust Me! (2015:105)

Your true Home is awaiting you.

The enemy might well be trying to weaken your faith in It, first of all, because hes definitely not coming Here, and so hed
like to cause all the folks he can, not to make it, either, or at least not to live more positive lives by believing firmly in it
Well, thats just one more reason to make an effort to stay close to Me, in order to overcome his doubts and attacks, and
not be caused by thoughts of things from your visible world to be sidetracked Try to get a glimpse of whats awaiting
you Here!
The sooner you get used to that gear of depending on help from Above, instead of below, or down there, trust Me: the
better it will be! (2015:107)

You need Me! And not just My Words and input, but also, especially My help and Power from Above.
True: most people seem to make it without Heavens help. But you ought to be used to needing My help from Above!
If life seems to be too great a challenge for you at times, just remember to ask for the help from Above! You may not be
able to make it on your own, but hey, youve got all that help from Up Here at your disposal. (2015:108)

A life in a world pretty much taken over by the enemy will help you appreciate the Hereafter more.
Its something that should help you appreciate the life in Heaven that I promised. And since youre going through
something downright rough this time, you should definitely be more able to appreciate it, the outlook and vision of getting
and going there, and eventually arriving. (2015:111)

Stay tuned in to your Help from Above and support of the Holy Ghost, the angels and spirit helpers, any help from Above
you can get and apply for!
Youll desperately need Me and your Help from Above!
The fun, relaxing and rewarding part will come in the Hereafter. In the meantime youll just have to go through the times
down here that ought to make you appreciate the Hereafter for good! (2015:113)

Human beliefs are quite different from the way We see things Up Here, and the way you ought to definitely start seeing
them, too! (2015:114)

If you cant make it on your own, just cling to Me and all your help from Above!
490
Cling to Me and your help from Above to help you to make it and rise above
The only way to make it through whats up ahead is through relying on My strength, the Power from Above!
The things happening to you on a daily basis are reminders that you cant make it on your own, but desperately need the
help from Above. (2015:117)

Be led and guided on the right tracks by Me and your helpers from Up Here!
The less comfy you feel in the world around you, and the less at home, the more drawn to Our Home and attracted to the
Hereafter youll be; and trust Me, thats not a bad thing, as far as We Up Here are concerned!
Its a good thing to be longing for Our Home, instead of feeling at home in the world currently run largely by Our enemy! It
shows youre definitely more on Our side, and one of Us, rather than belonging to the large bunch of folks attracted and
pulled off the proper track by his temptations!
Believe it or not, but the less pleasant this world becomes for you, and the more you begin to long for your lasting Home
Up Here, the better it is for you in the long run!
Why do you think We, as Creators of it all, organized it in such a way that life on earth is presently only temporary? -
Whereas the one Up Here is the lasting one? Having allowed the enemy to take over control down there has definitely left
Our Place as the better alternative, and thus, as a believer in Us and Our Home, something you ought to get prepared for
and make your goal, rather than any fancy, but temporal abode down on present day earth.
Make your Home beyond your temporal stay down there your goal, and the Place you gear your vision and hope to,
knowing by faith that its a lot better than anything expecting you down there, even though youve had some good times
down there in the past The true Home where it pays to stay is Ours. Trust Me: youll agree when you get Here! (2015:122)

Put all faith in Me and your help from Above, your help from Heaven, your future Home, and the everlasting One! (2015:128)

Even though it may seem to you that things youve been given are getting lost, anything that has the values from Above
wont perish, but last forever.
You may see the need for these things as so much greater now than it may be in the Hereafter, but also know that theyll be
much more appreciated and treasured then, where the values largely governing folks wont be ruled by the materialism
that runs your world nowadays. Spiritual riches and input stick better to a spiritual Place much better than the material
ones. So, another advantage of My Home youre headed, that you may not have been aware of.
The fame or the attention you failed getting there, on earth so far, will come to you in your true and lasting Home even if
it may not be fame as its known down there right now, but simply that folks will get to know and appreciate the godly
things you had to offer all along.
Have a bit of trust and confidence that Heaven will make up for that, what you couldnt enjoy on earth so far. Another thing
that will help you appreciate true Divinity above the enemys fake down there.
See, Im trying to cheer you up by making you more aware of whats expecting you in the future Up Here, so that the losses
youre experiencing on earth wont keep affecting you as badly. Therell be a lot more to gain than theres to complain right
now about losing trust Me for that! (2015:129)

Therell be coming a time when it will all make sense what you had to go through, in order to get pulled closer to your help
from Above, and not be used to leaning on your own abilities and capacities anymore, but needed greater ones from Our
direction! (2015:130)

Feel less at home in that world and more at home Here, where I am, along with many folks youll feel much more in tune
with than whats surrounding you right now!
If life is tough, hard and rough, let it be a reminder of where youre really at home: not in that world currently run by the
wicked enemy. But theres something better waiting for you, so, take this as a reason to be a bit more lifted up and
cheerful.
Your true Home is waiting Here, where I am, and lots of heavenly folks and brethren, along with tons of angels; so focusing
on that should cheer you up a bit and help you to deal a little better with having to live in a place for some more time thats
run by Our enemy.
If youre not feeling at home in that world, let it be a positive reminder that youre not, and your true Home is waiting for
you. And even though you have to go through hard times down there, itll gear your focus and vision more Up Here, where
you truly belong, and into My Kingdom, and the Fathers, which will take over the earth eventually. (2015:131)

The greatness and glory isnt really supposed to settle with those doing the work down there, on earth. That will come to
you later, when you arrive Up Here! Another reason to set your vision Up to Heaven, and not expect any glory or credit
for whatever you manage to do down on earth! (2015:132)

What about some of the others you might be able to save the souls of, and get them Up into Heaven, where youll wind up,
too? Wouldnt it be a wonderful fulfillment of the purpose of your life, not having to wind up There on your own, but also
meeting folks wholl have made it There thanks to you, instead of winding up in another, not so nice place, because they
didnt get the chance to go to Heaven through being told how to receive Me as their Saviour?
Make as sure as you can to help others to make it to Heaven!
Theyll definitely result in your greatest rewards, whereas neglecting that task and job would always leave you with a
strong gear of feeling, If I only had So, how about making all the efforts you can, to do that most important job for Me,
to help as many others to make it Here as you can.
Do your best to accomplish getting as many Up Here as you can!
491
If you believe that the Hereafter is definitely better than what life in that world has to offer right now, then why withhold the
opportunity from others to get Here?
Leading others to Me is the greatest source of joy, happiness and blessings one could experience in the current life, and
treasured as a great opportunity by folks whove already made it Here.
Help some others to make it Up Here!
Dont you think it would be the best you could still do to make others wind up Here?
Remember that, if you cant do it, you need to depend on Me and apply for the strength and power from Above. Its not the
time anymore to try to do such things for Us in your own strength, but leaning onto Ours and letting Us enable you.
Youve got pretty much all of Heaven ready to lend you some help! So, use it!
Cant make it on your own anymore? Make use of Heavens help! Thats the way all true people and followers of Mine
accomplished their wonder-working deeds for Me and the Fathers glory throughout history; and, well, its the time for you
to get into it, too.
Let Me and all of Heavens Power work through you! (2015:133)

Set your dependence on Me and your divine help and support from Above!
You cant take that life for granted down there it just might end suddenly and without any warning, which might be one of
the reasons why Im trying to encourage you to become more heavenly-minded so that next time something grave
happens, youll be prepared for your arrival in your lasting Home!
Its definitely the larger part of any of My believers existence, so, the sooner you start getting prepared for it, the less
shocked youll be when you arrive Here!
Get ready for something a whole lot more positive and wonderful than what youre having to go through right now. And,
hey, what if you were sent back down there because you simply werent ready for your arrival Up Here yet, which might be
why Im saying, better to be prepared?
After all, thats going to be your lasting Home, and definitely superior over your current one, so definitely nothing wrong
about getting prepared for your lasting your eternal One!
Get ready for something better! Amen? Doesnt sound too bad, does it? Even if a little different, and like Something to
get used to when it happens, your arrival Here. But dont worry about it, but let Me guarantee you that itll be the best
change youll ever have had or experienced. So, nothing to be scared of! (2015:134)

Keep your faith and vision pointed toward a better Hereafter!

Maybe thats the only comfort there currently is: the fact that therell be a good ending coming to all this suffering youre
currently having to go through, and thus look forward to that.
See the good future coming at you through faith!
If the times arent easy, but rough, dont you think theyre there to make you stronger, and teach you greater dependence
on Me and your help from Above?
Can you tune in to the need of the times to come and learn to depend on the strength you can obtain from Up Here?
(2015:135)

Sorry that theres a lot less fun happening down there, but just start looking ahead to the fun youll have in your true and
lasting Home instead! (2015:137)

The counsel to prepare and get ready for entering My Kingdom is starting to make sense to you, since there might not be
all that much time left there on earth and with some of the input you got from others, that you might not even get to
Heaven for some sins well, another reason to be grateful if it should turn out that theyre wrong, in confirmation to My
prep talks for Heaven to you!
Youre more willing to pay more attention to whats going on in the spirit, and prepare a bit more for your arrival Here, in
the Spirit World.
Remember that its My effort to raise the strength from Above in you, which one day youll see as the best thing that ever
happened to you during your life on earth, causing you to stop trusting in your own strength, and causing you to trust and
rely on Ours from Above instead! (2015:138)

The hard times in the end will make you all the more thankful for the Hereafter. Even if you dont catch the sense and
purpose of it all right now, in the end, you will, and everything will make sense.
Even if its hard to come up with positive hopes and aspects, once youll arrive where I am, and all the Fathers children,
things will make sense to you, and youll finally feel and be at Home!
Just keep that bit of faith in It you have, and dont let the enemy snap it away from you! (2015:141)

If you want to stick on the right path, keep headed for the There and Then, and dont make too much depend on the here
and now! It may take a bit longer to find out all It has to offer, but trust Me that the difference between the two will make it
worth it. Temporal pleasures vs. eternal joy and happiness which sounds better to you? Thats pretty much the choice
that life is all about! (2015:142)

None of the troubles, diseases and pains will happen to you once you get into that Dimension Im talking to you about
now, and which, as a citizen of it through faith, you ought to get prepared for and not stay too affected by and tied up to
the circumstances you get hit by through the temporary world youre in right now. (2015:143)

492
Life isnt all about fun and having your desires fulfilled its about learning lessons, and, as My disciple, about helping
others to find Me and life ever after in Heaven thereby.
Being not of this world means you believe in something better, a better Home waiting for you.
Hang on to Me, and you will see: Lifes end will be victory!
Theres more to come! And all these momentary trials, tests and sufferings youre going through will look so tiny and
unimportant in comparison to what youll enjoy then. (2015:145)

Its good not to feel at home in this world! It means, youve got your Home elsewhere, and in a better Place. And once
youre Here, you wont be feeling bad about not having been able to feel at home in your present world anymore at all,
realizing that your true and eternal Home is tons of times better than what the mess the enemy made out of the world has
to offer.
Worship Those Whove got something to offer thats better. And the better Thing is Here, where We are and awaiting you.
Heavens not plagued by the indifference that pretty much runs the attitudes of folks in the world youre currently at!
Theres a lot more concern Here, because theres a lot more Love, which basically rules It.
And getting as many folks to get Here once their lives down there are over should be your goal and destiny in that time-
limited and temporal life youre going through right now.
Get ready for the real Life afterwards, and offer that chance to as many others as you can that are receptive enough for it!
Believe in something better waiting on you after that earthly life; and the best thing one can do during it is to share that
whats awaiting believers with as many others as you can! (2015:147)

Strengthen your faith in the World beyond the one youre living in right now, and your vision on whats to come!
Cant imagine that the devil changed creation when We let him take it over due to mans choice?
Well, some of that stuff you wont find around in Heaven, for sure, nor left on earth, once We take it over again!
Keep looking Up ahead, and know that itll be worth it all any hard times youll have had to go through! (2015:148)

If youre having a hard time with how things are going for you down there, just try to focus and keep your vision toward Up
Here!
Think about others, and how much youd like to see and meet them Here once you get Here! Itll be the greatest and most
lasting source of happiness!
Sharing Heaven with the folks around you thats what life of My disciples and followers is largely supposed to be all
about.
The reason for living: Winning others over Here, where the true life unfolds. (2015:149)

Make an effort to tune in Up Here some more! Become heavenly-minded!

The more heavenly-minded you are, the more interested others will become in what youve got to offer!
Make an effort to keep your mind pointed Up Here, and itll definitely have a greater influence and effect on others and
make them more curious about what you have to offer.
Share Heaven! That ought to be your slogan for the rest of your life!
Make sure youll win as many others to Heaven as you can!
Now that youre coming to grips with the state the world is in, and that you dont have to keep seeking and looking for
heaven on earth, it might sink on you that whats to come is whats to look forward to, and not keep looking around for the
perfect spot on earth, which is currently unfortunately taken over by the enemy, which is the fact that makes it so
dreadful, and why you should keep looking Up ahead at whats coming, not for what you might find down there!
Become more heavenly-minded!
Remember your job and task for Me to try to win as many Up Here as you can, and itll definitely be the thing to make you
happier down there, as well as make you more grateful when you get Here, that you didnt fail your job and purpose down
there!
Put first things first, and for My Kingdom, thats souls we all long to be won Here!
Just as the Father and I have mercy on you, bestow that same mercy on others, and make all the effort you can to bring
them along into your future Home! (2015:151)

If you dont feel like you fit in there, youll definitely feel much more at Home Here with Me, once you get Here! (2015:152)

Not being so fleshly oriented is one of the main points of not being part of the world, but your true Home lingers
elsewhere in the Spirit. (2015:153)

There couldnt be much reward Up Here for a life lived close to paradise and heaven on earth. So, living a selfish life
geared to ones own pleasure isnt what will make them arrive in Heaven with the confidence that they did all they could to
bring others Up Here, which should be the purpose for followers of Mine!
Keep remembering your true Home awaiting you Up Here! If its not going to stay all as nice down there as it was,
remember that its only a temporal world, while the lasting joy and happiness await you Here.
Dont keep looking down at the world around you, but lift your vision Up Here! (2015:155)

Make an effort to put Me and the Kingdom above things that played the leading role in your life thus far!
You cant put the importance of the world to you above Me and My Kingdom! (2015:156)

Whats perfect is still to come, and not there yet, and supposedly teaching folks the difference when It finally does.
493
The lack of perfection on earth will make it clear to folks what is perfect when they get Here. (2015:157)

Your spiritual sight is supposed to be aiming Up Here, where you belong and will eventually wind up! (2015:161)

Remember where youre headed, your true Home, which is not of this world.
Its a world in darkness, while We are the Light. So, dont try to fit in with their dark glow, but remain an active part of the
Light from Above!
Ultimately, the Light will take over the darkness, and therell be a new Beginning.
Its time to get back into the gear of your job for Us and your heavenly Destination, and no more time to just blend into the
way of the world! (2015:162)

Just as your children sometimes need your help, so the Father and Mother know that you need Theirs, along with that of
all the angels, spirit helpers, and Mine, your Older Brothers and Saviors!
And just as earthly parents are there for their kids, so are your Heavenly Ones there for you, and along with a bunch of
helpers, friends and relatives! Youve got a greater Family Up Here than down there; and its another reason to keep
looking Up Here, to Heaven, from where theres a whole lot more help available for you than from down yonder! So, keep
praying and asking for help from Up Here, and youll get it! (2015:163)

Lifes state, so far from perfect, is part of whats supposed to arouse the desire for Heaven in some folks the better
Place, run by a better Boss and God than the pretender having taken over His creation down there
So, if you cant feel at home down there anymore, dont let it strike you as something bad, but feel good about something
much better coming up for you, eventually! (2015:166)

The harder the times, the more youll be reminded its not your Home down there, and cause you to think and look forward
more towards It, Up Here And the more your faith and vision are being focused toward Here, your eternal and true Home,
the more of a witness to others youll be and instill hope in them for a better Hereafter coming.
So, look more Up Here in the spirit, and not just down there, where the darkness will be taking over!
Overcome the temptations of fear and keep looking toward Me Up Here!
The more your faith grows in My Power and all from Up Here, instead of what the enemy has to offer down there, the more
youll be on the right wavelength leading you in the right direction, Up Here, instead of further down, there And the more
Up Here youre geared, the more familiar youll be with your coming Home and Its wavelength the heavenly Spirit,
instead of that from below! (2015:167)

Knowing where spiritual strength and power comes from, maybe itll also help you to focus more in that direction and
become more heavenly minded.
Nothing like feeling at home in the Place where youre going, and once youll manage to really get into that bound for
Heaven groove to the point where others can notice and feel it, you might realize that itll also cause them to be a lot more
interested in and curious about that Place youre headed, your true and eternal Home.
Become more heavenly-minded, more conscious of the Place youre going and headed!
While other folks goal may be fame, fortune and material success, if that Ones yours, Where the Creator of the whole
universe and His Family are staying, along with a host of angels, and all those who chose to seek Us during their earthly
lives well, for any of those seeking something else than material and temporal wealth or fame, youve got It!
So, definitely an advantage to stay geared towards and focused on It, rather than any temporal and material assets offering
themselves to you down there in order to drag your attention away from Me, your Creator, and the everlasting Sphere.
Heavens gonna be the time and Place to reward you for all your accomplishments for Us and others on earth, and theres
some more work for Us to be done, some more souls to win and witnessing to do (2015:169)

Avail yourself of My help and that of Heaven, when you cant make it on your own because the situation coming up is just
too hard and too tough!
It might be good to focus as much as you can on the spiritual, that which is to come for you, and has been long before that
which you can see around you. (2015:170)

The more occupied you are with getting in tune with Me and your everlasting Hereafter, the less you have to worry about
the temporal, and unfortunately, largely wicked world around you! Just stay and get in touch with Us the more you can,
and the more useful it will also turn out to be!
Sometimes the news you receive from the eternal Dimension dont seem to make that much sense to your temporal world
and situation but the closer you get to Our Side of the Spirit, the more youll be able to grasp of it all, Our input We give
you! Until then, just take it by faith! Amen?
Having received Me as your Saviour, you can always be sure that the Hereafter, your new Home after this life, and your
existence There, will be better than what youve had to go through on earth before My Return. So, something to look
forward to, no matter how dreadful or not-so-hot your earthly life has, or will have been. (2015:171)

Just remember: youre not at home down there, your Homes Up Here! And Itll make it worth it all that you have to go
through. (2015:173)

How about taking one more turn and spin for Me and other souls on the road of life? If there is a Hereafter as your faith
tells you, sharing that with others, and through that bring greater happiness to Me and the rest of Us Up Here?
494
How about not giving up, but keeping hanging in there, for the sake of others making it Up Here through your help and set-
in? (2015:175)

If you dont feel like you fit into or belong to that world, dont let it strike you as something negative!
Let it be a good sign unto you, that youre part of Something better!
Theres Something better awaiting you, and itll be all worth it what youve had to go through, once youre Here!
Dont feel too drawn toward the Spirit World, though, when there are still some jobs for you to do down there perhaps to
make Heaven a bit more interesting for others, too! (2015:177)

Make the effort to look forward to the better Home awaiting you, which would also offer more hope to others! (2015:179)

To believe is the only thing that gives you hope for a Hereafter and sense and meaning to it all.
Put your faith more over Here, in My physically invisible Realm, and all I can tell you is: you wont regret it! Have some real
faith, and put it Up Here, in Me and the World I came to offer to believers in your temporal one, where you are right now,
but dont manage to feel at home anymore.
So, believe in Something Better again, than what surrounds you down there! In other words, a better Reason for your
existence youre currently having trials with! Well, thats the main message I came to earth for, to let folks know, theres
Something Better! (2015:182)

Your eternal Home doesnt have any downhill treads! It keeps getting better, with only positive changes.
So, dont feel too bad about those current, unpleasant times! They should certainly help you appreciate more whats there
to come, Amen? Dont feel too much at home down there when your true Homes Up Here where I and all the good forces
are waiting for you and expecting you to come! Just hoping that you might yet bring a few other ones with you as you
come closer to your and their Future Home!
Think about it: Going Home? Dont come alone! Bring as many others as you can along with you! Itll make it all more
worth it even that ugly time youre having to spend down there! (2015:184)

Just keep looking Up ahead by faith to the new and much better Home awaiting you! (2015:186)

Look forward to the heavenly times Up Here even if it takes faith.

The difference between heaven on earth and Heaven Up Here: Theres no time Up Here to make it seize.
Up Here, the bliss endures forever. Thats one of the differences between the time-bound and temporal physical realm, and
whats expecting you Here.
Down there the good times are over relatively quickly, and unfortunately theyll soon be over pretty much permanently,
whereas Up Here, they last forever, and My gift to you and all believers called eternal life also includes permanent bliss and
happiness, not just temporary good times.
Honoring the Creator also enjoys the blessing of having Him constantly and forever care for, and keeping His children
from any and all troubles, once theyre Up Here!
Look Up to your eternal heavenly Home, and enjoy that great blessing ahead of you as much as you can in advance
through faith!
Keep the vision of Heaven in your soul as much as you can, as youre on your way There, to your eternal, heavenly Home!
(2015:190)

The eternal Here and Now: No more loss of whatever you gain! No more fading away of whatever you started or have
begun Here In other words: no more missing anyone or anything you get close to Up Here!
A few new and more positive customs to get familiar with, if you want to get a bit more familiar with whats up ahead. Just
trust Me, that there isnt much, if anything, youll be missing from down there, once youll have made it Up Here!
It may be a little bit compared to seeds that are sown into the ground and then grow up in the fresh air with golden sunlight
and a blue sky above. Let it serve a little as the description of the difference between life now and thereafter, mostly with
the big difference that there wont be any end to it anymore expecting you Up Here!
So, its definitely more positive things to prepare for and look forward to Up Here, after that temporal life down there, and
its definitely something to focus on and make you appreciate the change thats coming.
Another difference between the world down there, run pretty much by Satans rules, and Ours Up Here: no more need to
make it all better, or fears or regrets about them getting worse, but with a God of Love as the Boss, you and I sure agree,
its a World at its best, contrary to one thats run by someone who still thinks hes better (2015:191)

Diminishing your earthly future can bring a little more attention to the one thereafter.
Even though you havent seen It yet, you can try to focus your vision of faith on It and feel something of It, when you try to
lift your focus There, in Heavens direction, through faith.
If you get a bit more of a glimpse and vision of Heaven, maybe at least youll have something more to share with those who
are sheep and you might still come across to share It with.
Get a bigger glimpse of Heaven, so that itll be easier for you to share Heaven! (2015:193)

The times Up Here awaiting you will make up for it, make it all worth it to you, and you wont feel so sorry for yourself
about it all anymore at all!
Life is rough, temporarily, but thats whatll prepare you for the Hereafter, and make you appreciate it more than some did.
When you realize that what you were able to do yourself might not be all as grand and as glorious as what your Creator
495
may have prepared for you, it keeps you a little humbler, and a bit more thankful at least, which might make it all worth it in
the end, even if there may be hard times involved in learning that lesson! (2015:195)

I know life isnt all that rosy down there, as it is, but thats why theres something permanently better awaiting you Here,
where We are the host of Heaven awaiting you when youre done and finished, learning all there is to. (2015:212)

Keep feeling like a stranger there, and that your Home is where you belong: somewhere else!
Dont keep hunting or chasing happiness too much down there, but know that you cant really find it in lasting measures
anywhere but Up Here! (2015:214)

Be ready for your eventual arrival Up Here!

Be prepared for the Hereafter!
Remember your job to let others know about whats coming in the Thereafter!
Help others to find their way Up Here as well!
Thats your task and job for Me down there: to get as many Up Here with you as you can, and you shouldnt forget that!
What matters is how much you can present the possibility for them to wind up Up Here! Make your life and your message
to others as Heaven-geared as you can! (2015:223)

You dont belong in that world, but Up Here, but you should still do your best to inspire as many others as you can to
believe in Up Here. (2015:224)

If Im allowing things down there to make you tired of it all, just see it as a reminder of Something much better awaiting
you! If that world is not your home, just try to keep Heaven in mind as your goal!
And make it the rest of your job down there to get as many folks interested in that Future Home of yours, so that theyll
develop a desire to come Up Here, too!
Trying to get others to come Up Here, too, is pretty much the main part of the job of being My disciple.
Life down there isnt as grand as youd wish for it to be but just let it be a reminder to you that theres something much
better awaiting you Here with Me and many more folks a lot more the way youll likeem! All you can look for down there
isnt perfect people, but receptive ones to be willing to receive Me and thus also make it Up Here thanks to you, and that
will be the fulfillment of the purpose of your life! (2015:226)

Not feeling so great down there right now, maybe makes you long a bit more for Up Here, which you maybe should. Getting
used to the fact that your Homes Up Here and not down there is something to help you prepare for whats Up ahead, and
might wind up making folks a bit more curious about It. Remember, it would be great if youd manage to get a few more
souls with you Up Here! (2015:227)

Its not time anymore to trust and rely on your own strengths and capacities!
Learn to depend on the ones from Above, from Up Here, your future Home you should prepare for!
Having to go through hard times is teaching you to look Up ahead, toward your eternal future Home! The One your faith
should ultimately cause you to become more confident of.
Not feeling home down there? Time to learn to feel at Home Up Here! (2015:229)

If I can manage to stir up your vision and goal in life towards, and get you to focus Up Here and aim for whats expecting
you in Heaven, itll be much better and more valuable and lasting than any earthly, material success and achievement.
Become a bit more heavenly-minded! Or should I say, a lot more!?
See, making your faith grow, and your lifes vision and ambitions geared more towards Up Here, getting you more
heavenly-minded, more loving and concerned about the eternal and lasting welfare of others, thats the goal, and what Im
trying to achieve in your life for Me right now.
Set your goal Up Here, not merely your temporal success and welfare down there! Thats the vision and what the outlook
of a life of faith and following Me is supposed to be like! Seeking first the lasting Kingdom Up Here, along with the arrival
of as many as you can, instead of mere temporal and material achievements down there.
Learn how to live up to that heavenly goal, not just getting stuck in earthly and temporal achievements! (2015:232)

I know its tough for you right now, and it gets you upset quite some of the time, those negative circumstances But let it
be a reminder to you of the better Home awaiting!
Youre not at home down there. - Sufficient reason to get ready for the better and lasting One. (2015:238)

Sorry My dear, if its not just pleasant times for now down there, but youll see whats expecting you Here, in your eternal
Home, will more than make up for it! (2015:244)

Cling to Heavens rules if you want to make it through the tough times and you dont want to have to be ashamed once
youll get Here! (2015:245)

Few are the folks who are ready for My Presence and the Fathers Spirit
But as I did, try to make the best out of it, which is mainly getting other folks tuned into becoming Heavenly-minded.
(2015:247)

496
Do as much as you can to point out to other folks that theres something better than that world available and coming up
ahead.
As much as you keep up the vision of your true Home, the easier its going to be to let other folks know about It. (2015:249)

Thats where youre headed: Up Here, and getting used to using all the help from Heaven you can get, will prepare you for
your arrival Here (16:3)

I will keep having the answer to any problems for you, and ultimately, Heaven will be the Answer! So, keep believing in it,
and keep up the hope that theres something better coming than what this world has to offer! Keep believing and trusting
in Me! (16:7)

The more you get tuned in to your true Home, the more youll manage to get My sheep interested in It, and the more they
might like to get to know from you how to get There.
Isnt that your job for Me, to get as many as you can Up Here with you?
Share Heaven! With whomever you can! (16:25)

If you cant handle too well whats going on around you, take it as a confirmation that you belong elsewhere, a Place were
trying to prepare you for, get more geared to, and will hopefully bring some more others along to as well!
Something betters expecting you, not just as far as the world around you is concerned, but also yourself and the other
future inhabitants! Something to look forward to! (16:34)

Remember to be more heavenly-minded, to give folks a glimpse of something better and more glorious to come!
Show others a glimpse of Heaven, by making the effort to stay connected to It yourself! (16:35)

If down in that world you cannot help not feeling at home, the more you can manage to make yourself feel at home right
Here where I am, all the angels and fellow believers are, including Our almighty Father and Mother of Love, the more
strength youll find in order to overcome the difficulties life down there confronts you with!
Keep your mind close to Me and Our heavenly Home, and let it bring forth in you the joy that will also attract others and
will want them to accept that offer I made through My sacrifice on Earth, and the Fathers! (16:36)

A better Place is waiting for you when your time down there is over. And in the meantime, get in touch with It as much as
you can! Make It your goal and destination!
Dont take it as something bad when you just cant manage to feel comfy or at home down there! Take it as a confirmation
that theres a better Place awaiting and the best you could do is get as many others Up Here with you as you can!
The worlds not your home and a better Ones waiting for you. One where you can really feel at home and will be forever!
The more you manage to point your daily vision Up Here, the more chance youll have to invite others Up Here as well!
The only Place thats perfect is your future Abode with Us! Dont look for something better down there, but just expect it
and know by faith that it awaits you Up Here!
If you want to offer something better to the folks down there, remember that its Our lasting Home Up Here! (16:43)

Learning not to feel at home down there is part of My will and plan for you! To get to feel more at home Up Here instead
feeling not at home in the world, but Here! Your true and everlasting Home. (16:61)

Become more Spirit- and Heaven-oriented! And with times getting much worse youve got to get into that Heaven-geared
mindset! Dont look at the ugliness around you down there, but aim your vision at the beauty Up Here!
If the conditions and circumstances around you are a mess, well, thats the condition the world around yous in, and
becoming worse, so dont be too discouraged! Let that condition turn your focus Up Here, your true Home, and believe
that theres Something much better on its way! (16:62)

Sharing Heaven should be your slogan for the days to come, when life on Earth will turn into the closest state of hell in
history!
Sorry, but Heaven on Earth wont be coming before hell on Earth! Maybe the best way to get people to long for Up Here
instead of just settling for the limited existence down there.
Sorry, its a tough road leading to Heaven, but I never made a secret of that fact.
Keep your vision directed Up Here, where all of the negative things youre having to go through will make it worth it, and I
promise you wont be disappointed. So, keep your focus and vision geared Up Here! A Home thatll make it worth it all you
have to go through now.
Make an effort to get into that gear of being heavenly-minded! - Heaven-focused, and Heaven-geared! (16:63)

Theyre nasty, dark and evil times youre having to go through, and they should stir up your longing for your true Home,
where your vision should be headed. (16:66)

If you dont find an abode where you feel home, just remember that your true Home lies elsewhere right Here, where I
am.
Dont let it shock you, that feeling of not feeling at home or comfy in any of those regions youve been to! Its hard to find a
place to feel at home for strangers in that world for whom the worlds just not their home, because a better Ones awaiting
them.
497
And that vision of being headed toward a better Home, not of this world youre in right now should help you keep going as
a stranger in this world, which with the direction in which its headed wont be too strange.
Not feeling at home in that world where the flesh largely rules, makes the children of God yearn for their true, lasting and
spiritual Home. (16:78)

The trouble will come, but trust in My Help to see you through whatever comes, and that theres a much better Home
expecting you at the end of it all!
Keep your outlook and vision pointed Up Here, which will make it worth it all, and keep your focus set by that hope!
So, look Up Here! Thats where your hope lies. (2016:82)

Focus on as your true Home, not the far less pleasant circumstances of the world around you! Get attuned to your true and
lasting Home! (2016:95)

Keep your mind focused on your true Home Up Here!

Keep your focus Up Here where you belong, your true Home, even if currently only perceived through faith! (2016:98)

Aim your spiritual focus Up Here the only Place thats perfect!
If your contact with your surrounding isnt that glorious, just let it be a reminder that youre a citizen of another Place
where you really belong! (2016:101)

The more proofs you get that you just dont belong down there, the better! The more itll pull you closer to that Home of
faith and strengthen that faith in It make you more dependent on Its reality.
What have you got to lose by putting your faith in Something better to come? (2016:105)

Remember that the right direction to cling your faith in and gear your hopes toward is Up Here your true Home!
Your true Homes Up Here, so start clinging your vision and focus on It! (2016:108)

The pains and woes through the curse will teach My sheep appreciation of whats to come: their true and everlasting
Home, with no pains, nor painful ending to come.
So, the clue to staying positive in a world reigned by evil: Focus Up Here, where youre heading! Through faith! (2016:112)

Hell on Earth is supposed to make you appreciate Thereafter! - And cause you to remember to have the best possible time
in that hell Earth is developing into, by offering Heaven to others!
Once that third world war will hit the globe, with just about hell on Earth left for anyone (except perhaps the rich bunch
causing it), therell be more folks willing to receive that better Option weve come to offer the world.
Its no more Welcome to the machine, but time to get out of it, for those who want to stay Heaven-bound, and not play
part in that final part of hell on Earth! (2016:119)

Dont forget that theres Something Better expecting you, compared to down there, and you shouldnt just get prepared for
it yourself, but make the coming of the Hereafter part of your message, your sample, and whatever youve got to portray
and signify to others! Let them know about Heaven! The better Thereafter! (2016:134)

Make Heaven your Goal, remembering your task to bring as many along Up Here as you can!
Stay on the heavenly connection, not getting distracted by earthly conditions and circumstances! (2016:147)

A good way of learning to make it through hell on Earth is to keep your spiritual focus on Heaven, your true Home to come.
(2016:152)

The Kingdom of God the Creator of all is contrary and opposed to the kingdom of the usurper about to be established
down there, which will be the ultimate proof of the fact that thats not where you belong.
Not feeling at home in the world is a confirmation of the fact that you belong Here, where I am, and all your heavenly
brothers and sisters, along with Mom and Dad and a host of angels who didnt get tripped off on their egos
The only reason you have to see it through down there is to give others the chance and ability to make it Up Here, to the
true Home of Gods true children, too. (2016:171)

Heavens not a place for doing nothing. (2016:172)

Dont rely on or be affected whats going on around you, but Up Here the Place youre headed for! (2016:184)

Heavens got to come closer to you and become part of your spiritual perception; in order to make it though the dark times
expecting the world. (2016:185)

If the area around you is ugly, the surroundings and circumstances arent perfect, let it remind you of the Perfect Place in
the mas alla the Hereafter! Let it remind you of Something Better to come that you should point your vision and focus
on the Place where you really belong and should call your Home!
Learn to become more Heaven-focused, and have your heart and mind geared more toward your true and everlasting
Home!
498
One of the advantages of not feeling comfy or at home in the world: youre much more prone to feel at Home Here where I
am and Were all ultimately expecting you.
By faith you know youve got a much, much better Home expecting you than what you could find down there.
Give others a focus of Our much better Home, along with the chance to get Here!
If life down there for example is exhausting, thats one experience and minus you wont have to put up with Here. Along
with many other negatives and downright evils you have to put up with and suffer down there that just wont be part of the
procedure anymore Up Here.
As much of a pain it can be down there, its a bliss Up Here.
So, if youre looking for uplifting feelings and emotions, gear your focus Up Here, your true Home, and try to catch as
much of a breath of It as you manage; and I promise itll be the best source of positive feelings and emotions available
down there right now. (2016:197)

Being a stranger down there at heart shows where your true Home lies.
A lot of the stuff you have to go through down there, you simply wont have to Up Here.
The enemy tries to weaken your faith that you belong Up Here but thats one of the reasons why it pays to strengthen
your faith and let it make you feel more at home Here, from Where Im communicating with you! (17:11)

Just stay on that lane that will drive you closer and closer to your true and lasting Home where well meet person to
person, along with other heavenly persons and beings youll be thrilled to meet!
Isnt it good to know that there is a Place where you will feel at home, and One youll truly be able to call your Home? (17:69)

Look forward to your arrival at the true Home Up Here!

Make it part of your consciousness, that your Home is expecting you Up Here. (17:110)

Havent found the perfect spot yet? Well, remember: Its Up Here! So, the more heavenly-minded you stay, the more your
focus will be geared and aimed in the right direction. (17:143)

You should aim your focus Up Here, your true Home youre bound and destined for. Its also the Source of everything
youll need to make it through the dark times to come: the Strength, Power, Life and Light.
If youre not feeling at home anywhere in that world, just make the effort to keep your mind set on the true Home where
you belong and youre on your way towards, with the purpose of shooting for getting as many others Up Here with you as
you can. (17:148)

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

Humility vs. Pride

God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. - (1 Peter 5:5)

No matter how much you think others may benefit from what you have to say, there is always more you can learn from
them, if youre just humble and patient enough to find out.
Theres nothing more important than finding out what Ive got to say on a matter, yet your behavior sometimes seems to
indicate that you think theres nothing more important than people finding out what youve got to say. O that ye should
altogether hold your peace! And it should be your wisdom (Job 13:5). Remember the poem about the owl? ...The less he
spoke, the more he heard... wish we were all more like that bird... The more you pray about what you say or write, the more
sure you can be that its really from Me, and 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 and strength and power to rise above! Its a matter of giving the glory to Me,
instead of yourself! (I:3)

Real humility comes when you have to carry responsibility for others. (I:9)

Its natural for man, in his pride, to seek greater things for himself, but the way of My workings of the Spirit is that you have
to show yourself faithful in the little first, before you can be trusted with more. (I:36)

Like coming to see the light after having lived a life in blindness, you, My children, have the ability to see and carry that
light in your hearts already, thats what makes you so special. Its just that the Enemy tries with all his might to get you to
hide that light under bushels of pride and fear of sticking out and not being accepted...
Look up to the real stars, the ones who are going to be stars in My Kingdom, and already are in My eyes: The cheerful
givers, the little saints, the nobodies who make My kingdom possible, who give My existence - the existence of it all - a
meaning...
That bit of black energy you get from the Enemys sources may look like its going to get you somewhere or boost your
own ego for a little while, but it will only turn out a fake, a deceit and your loss in the end. It may shine with its strange and
artificial glow for a little while, but only leave you in cold, gross darkness. The whole world will soon be in cold, gross
darkness and already is, if you dont shine your true light.
So, stick to the true source of My heavenly energy, My Love and My light, which you will find in My Word and as you come
and bathe in My Spirit in prayer. Shed the cloaks of darkness, of pride and selfishness, and nothing will be impossible for
you. (I:45)

Nothing wrong with crying. Heart and soul wash. Its good for you. Pity those who never do. You can imagine what they
smell like in the spirit. Imagine you never wash: The dirt just grows so hard on you, that crust of pride...
Thats another reason I said, Become like a child: children arent too proud to cry. Its part of childhood. And, you want to
know a secret? Its part of manhood, too. - Part of being a real man. So, let them hide in their pride and in their false, hard
fronts... You just come and flow and move with Me. (I:47)

Watch out for pride, one of the central players of the enemy, and dont be too soft, either, as you wont stand a chance of
winning the game, otherwise. (I:61)

If you were more aware of your weaknesses, you would be a lot more humble. (I:64)

Thats the perfection of the art of Lucifer, thats his masterpiece: pride! (I:93)

There is such peace in humility. So, forsake the laughter and the boasts of the proud!
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, and
great will be the calamity and the cries of woe thereof.
They want to be part of the in-crowd. They seek to impress, they dont want to be humiliated.
Seek not to impress with your abilities, but with My Spirit, which means, having to do the humble thing thats tough on
your pride. (I:96)

Hurt feelings and sensitivity come only from the Systems hogwash of pride. Up Here, the truth is welcome in its full power,
for it is known as a force of liberation from Earthly chains of pride and inhibitions. (I:101)

It takes humility to be willing to seemingly be the loser, but humility is one of the most precious and most to be desired
qualities in the universe! Strive for the golden garment of humility! It only looks like a shaggy rag in this world, especially
to unbelievers and captives of mammon, but to the eyes of faith it is one of the greatest treasures to be desired.
500
If you want to learn of Me, seek humility! If you want to follow Me, bathe yourself in humility! If you want to be like Me,
acquire humility! If you would be truly free, desire humility. Humility is wise and meek, not easily puffed up, not easily
provoked.... Humility is love.
Whatever you do, dont let it become tainted with pride, but make your humility plain and obvious to all men. For it is pride
that makes people rise against each other and spout out hateful words. But humility always takes the low seat, apologizes,
and is meek. (I:121)

The pride of man is thus that he considers his own world superior, just like most people consider everything that is their
own to be of superior value than that which is someone elses: whether it be their own opinion, their own point of view,
their own country or family or way of doing things... their own religion. (I:124)

It takes humility to be willing to seemingly be the loser, but humility is one of the most precious and most to be desired
qualities in the universe! Strive for the golden garment of humility! It only looks like a shaggy rag in this world, especially
to unbelievers and captives of mammon, but to the eyes of faith it is one of the greatest treasures to be desired.
If you want to learn of Me, seek humility! If you want to follow Me, bathe yourself in humility! If you want to be like Me,
acquire humility! If you would be truly free, desire humility. Humility is wise and meek, not easily puffed up, not easily
provoked.... Humility is love.
Whatever you do, dont let it become tainted with pride, but make your humility plain and obvious to all men. For it is pride
that makes people rise against each other and spout out hateful words. But humility always takes the low seat, apologizes,
and is meek. (I:128)

The less there is of you, the more I can do with you.

The problem Im having is with those big shot somebodies, who think they really are something. The ones who are too
important in their own sight to even stop once to acknowledge Me or think of Me.
Rejoice that you are nobody! I can use nobodies a lot better than somebodies! Rejoice when you feel small, useless and
like nothing! Thats when I can use you! Thats the point where you cry out to Me and realize that without Me youre
nothing! (I:131)

Pride is too heavy to bear for anyone. It becomes a burden to anyone else around, as well. Oh, the weight of pride. The
weight of sin that doth so easily beset you... What back-breaking pride!
All of you must overcome pride if you really want to put Me first in your lives. Seek to do the humble thing, constantly. If
there is an option between two things, choose the more humbling option! I called you to take up your cross and follow Me,
not to nail others to crosses and crucify them with haughty looks and proud thoughts and gestures...
Nothing is impossible, but Im talking about the limitations youre imposing on yourselves by your pride, your inability to
really let go completely and let Me take over. You are in dire need of a lot more humility and determination to make it up
that mountain of My highest will. Dont feel bad about it or condemned, just let it humble you. (I:140)

Humility is so precious, and yet so rare! (I:165)

Pride sucks the very joy out of life. Dont let your pride get in the way of communicating and making progress! (I:176)

If you want to be truly blessed by Me in every aspect, do the un-glorious thing, the humble task, take the lowly part. For in
learning humility, you acquire the primary requisite for becoming a truly great person! If you treasure humility as one of
the most worthy goals and ideals in your life, you will seek those humble and lowly deeds, for you know that they are good
for you! So, neglect not the humble tasks, especially those that nobody else has done yet. Dont let others snatch away all
the blessings and rewards for doing them, but be a blessing to them by giving them a break and showing em youre truly
one of them. Youre not too noble to dip your hands in the dirty dish water or clean the toilets or hand out a tract!
Doing the humble thing, listening to and respecting each other, not looking down on those who you might think are not
quite as smart as you... these are all essential parts of the Law of Love. It will make you a lot more likable and desirable.
Humility of the Spirit has something highly attractive for those who seek true love.
The reward is a peace and happiness, a certain kind of satisfaction that doing the lowly task brings, that nothing else quite
does... (I:181)

I know it humiliates you, and its an uncomfortable position for your pride to be somewhere where youre not really wanted.
But its part of a prophets mission to go places where hes not really welcome, and have I not said that I sent you out as
sheep into the midst of wolves? (I:190)

Humility and brokenness is what makes you material that I can ignite. Otherwise, itll only smolder, smoke and choke the
people. (I:203)

How easily everything a man has is lost by pride. (I:223)

There are great lessons to be learned, about humility, about preferring one another...
Shepherding requires the wisdom that is from above, My meek Spirit, humble and quiet verification, making sure that it is,
indeed, the direction Im leading. (I:228)

501
Keep striving for humility! Humility that will enable you to approach anyone at any time with My message without any fear,
born of pride, about what they might think of you. (I:245)

If you are called to do great things, forget not the greatest of all: the love and 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. (I:248)

Blessed are the humble. Its only pride that makes things complicated. (I:263)

Be completely freed of the shackles of pride, get in touch with people on a low and humble level, of one who reaches out
his hand for help and in return gives the blessing of My Spirit. (I:267)

What I ask you to do will probably and most likely be humbling. But your willingness to say yes to My humble task; thats
whats needed to bring about the desired progress and growth! (I:284)

Greater things with Me often mean humbler things first: humbler ministries and methods... small beginnings; greater
ends.
Humiliation is good for you. My Spirit is just simply more manifested in humility and a lowly approach. (I:287)

Right there, in that humble little place, humbly trying your best to tend to the needs of a handful of sheep, youre fulfilling
the very best and highest purpose you ever could.
People need to have a certain minimum amount of humility before they can show honor to a man of God.
Keep tugging along this path of humility and pray that you will meet humble ones who will receive Me. (I:288)

Since Im only allowing whats best for you, youll have to take it by faith that for right now, its best to keep you humble,
low profile, fairly unrecognized and we dont make a big star out of you.
Whats really best for you is those little, humble jobs to spread some love and My message.
True humbling is a genuine process that takes time...
Dont fall into that terrible snare of pride... Do the humble thing! Choose the humble path! (I:298)

The demons of depression, pride and jealousy... The sooner you learn to fight and lickem, the better!
The Devil can only get in through wedges and loopholes in your armor, like selfishness, pride, fear, suspicions, etc.
Asking for prayer, being willing to confront and attack your ugliest weaknesses by having them exposed, you are going to
overcome your most serious enemy in your midst: Pride! Its all a matter of being willing to overcome and exterminate
Pride in your midst!
You cannot have a proud or arrogant attitude, it must be a humble certainty that youre successfully fulfilling your job,
whether they receive you or not, as long as you stay faithful to the message. (I:326)

Anything thats humbling is good! (I:331)

You cannot have a proud or arrogant attitude, it must be a humble certainty that youre successfully fulfilling your job,
whether they receive you or not, as long as you stay faithful to the message. (I:343)

What youre up against is pride, a deep, bottomless abyss, and woe unto him that falls therein! Pride, your arch-enemy!
Its always hard to detect him in your own life. He has a special system of camouflage that makes it almost impossible to
spot him in your own life...
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... (I:346)

Pride blows things up out of proportion. Pride breeds fear and discontent. The proud are always afraid of something; of
losing someone or something... At the root of practically all sin there is pride.
The proud are a special, elitist type of crowd. They rebel against humiliation with hands and feet, and they ferociously
defend that which they consider rightfully theirs.
The proud are like the man in the parable I told, who had been forgiven a great debt by his Lord, but then went to one of his
debtors and demanded that he should pay every penny he owed him or hed have him cast into prison.
The proud often live in their delusion until one day the bubble bursts, and takes away from them even that which they think
they have and they thought they deserved and wanted all for themselves.
Pride is the true terrorist, terrorizing all its victims in its way: Do as I please, or else! You better be nice to me, or Ill
explode!
It takes humility to take correction in order to serve and follow Me, but if you prefer to be ruled by pride, you have no part
in Me! (I:347)

The flesh is the stuff pride feeds on. My Spirit is humble and seeks the humble and lowly in heart, and isnt very attractive
to pride it doesnt feed it. (I:348)

How much do you really love the truth? Are you willing to kill your pride for it?
When you feel down, dont let pride pull you out of it, but try to find Me there! (I:349)
502
Humility is the ability to take the blame. Pride is the inability to do so and thus always blames the others, radiating a black
cloud of accusations and pointing the finger.
Its a spiritual choice between the humble road of taking the blame and letting Me change you by accepting the truth, and
the road of pride and not really accepting the responsibility for what happened. (I:355)

The Devil has given a drug that makes them feel good in spite of their sickness, and that drug is pride.
He also distracts them with other sins, but pride is at the root of them all. Pride is what makes people refuse My help,
because it makes them refuse to see the seriousness of their condition! (I:356)

If you would fight to overcome pride which makes you resist correction, youd find so much greater happiness. There lies
great peace and fulfillment in humility. (I:374)

As long as you still feel too good or too strong to do certain humble tasks for Me, as long as you still rely on yourself or
even your situation, its no good. (I:382)

Will you be a god, a king, the master of your own fate, not subject to the ridicule and scorn that servitude entails, but with
your head held high in pride for a season, or will you choose the humble road of a servant, lower yourself in the eyes of
men in order to bring them Salvation, and consequently rule and reign with Me forever?
Those who want to preserve their pride in this life usually wont have much to show forth to be proud of in the Hereafter.
Its not like people are actually going to be proud of their accomplishments in Heaven, since they will give Me all the credit,
but they either have or have not accomplished works that I will be proud of them for. (I:392)

You must be free of pride and self, and of wanting to show off your own smartness or abilities!
Show love instead of pride! (I:394)

Just ensure your future position by maintaining a humble position down there!
Don't lord it out over anyone, but continue to learn to be their servant, humbly doing all you can to make them feel loved
and to be truly fed by My Words and My truth with which I have blessed you. (I:415)

If I have been humbling Myself and have gone out among the people to preach a message I knew most of them would
reject in the end, and that would lead Me to death on the cross, I am expecting the same of My followers.
Nobody wants to do the humblest of all jobs of passing out My Words: to be faithful witnesses.
Going out and passing out My Words is doing the humble thing. Why not make a difference and do the humble thing? (I:422)

Taking the humble seat for My sake, sacrificing your pride for each other is showing the World that example of a group of
people willing to lay down their pride for each other. (I:426)

Being the right kind of partner, not just finding the right one This requires humility, a word that has virtually lost all
meaning and use in the World today. Most western cultures despise humility as a weakness. The Devil has conditioned
people to such an extent, puffed up their egos and blown up their pride and self-will thus, that it's a mental habit very hard
to kick to be selfish, seek your own ends and put yourself in the first place. (I:427)

It's a form of pride and self-righteousness, where you become so upset about people's mistakes and lack of perfection that
you start getting angry about it. It's a lack of love and a very ugly form of pride; anger born of pride.
Blessed are the meek, blessed are the poor in spirit, because they usually don't fall prey to this kind of pride.
Claim the keys of humility and ask Me to keep you meek and humble! (I:444)

The fact that I love you more than you could ever know, should give you healthy and truth-founded self-esteem, godly self-
esteem, not based on some kind of false and unrealistic image that pride wants to paint of yourselves. (I:460)

Humility is what makes you brave, bold and courageous, because you know you've got nothing to lose in the first place,
no reputation, no pride, and nothing else, you only stand to gain the satisfaction of doing what I've ordained you to do,
regardless of what anyone might care to think about it.
Remember to stay humble and honest and full of conviction and boldness to stand up for what you know is right, which is
My standard, and not the way the World would look at this. (I:467)

Praise Me, for there is much more hidden in that treasure than you can even begin to fathom right now. Your pride fights it.
Because Pride knows he's going to be defeated by it!
Praise is utter humility and surrender to Me, not seeking any glory for the flesh or for yourself, but only seeking Mine. (I:481)

Pride is My main enemy, and the enemy of love, because it's what makes people think they don't need Me, and then they
act accordingly. The need underneath that pretense is often well-hidden under a veneer of pride.
Any element of self only pollutes the humble and meek spirit of unity. Just to do the humble things that make this Kingdom
stand! (I:490)

503
Claim the keys of humility when you sense that you are about to develop a condescending attitude towards someone!
(I:546)

Don't be too proud to give Me to them! (I:584)

Tell Me what to do about your pride; whether we should just leave it in peace, there in that cozy, dark corner of your life
and not disturb it, or whether we should chase it out, stir it up and get it out into the sunlight, where it's going to shrink
and disappear like a vampire in the daylight!
If there's anything that vampires are good symbolisms of, it's pride. It sucks and drains your life-blood, hiding away in a
coffin in some dark place of your life when you're working for Me and exposing yourself to My sunlight.
Slay your pride and bury that slain vampire in the dust. And out of those ashes, out of that dust, new life will spring forth
and grow, a truly new man: My hero.
All it costs is your pride.
Well, the one thing I'm after is your pride.
The one thing I'm after, once I have saved your soul, is your pride. I want you to surrender it to Me, to yield it to Me and to
sacrifice it for Me. Pride is often the one thing that prevents people from getting saved in the first place. But then, once
you're saved, in order to fulfill your great Commission and save the souls of others, it costs your pride again and again.
The price for the greatest reward there ever has been and will be: your pride!
Recognition in Heaven comes through humble tasks, dying to yourself, sacrificing your pride and laying down your life for
others. (I:588)

If you clothe yourself with the cloak of humility, and abase yourself to a position where you're receptive to learn things,
you'll be a star according to My book!
Thinking you deserve something better is pride and self-righteousness, thinking you know better than Me. (II:1)

If you want the cloak of humility, you're going to have to walk the humble road.
Stop any and all activities that would feed your pride, which will make you lose the garment of humility again.
Seek and walk the humble road! Don't let the devil entice you to go down any road that will minister to your pride. (II:3)

Often the more desperate you feel, the more useless, and the less "holy" you feel, the closer you really are to Me, whereas
when you think you're so right and you're so convinced that the other party is wrong, you might actually be in for a big
surprise. (II:4)

The only road that's going to take you to the right destination is the road of humility.
"Freedom's just another word for 'nothing left to lose'" - no reputation, no pride, nothing! - If you lose your pride,
congratulations!
And which other way are you going to lose your pride but by being humbled? And how are you being humbled? (II:6)

The humiliation, the humbling, the being made nothing is good for you! You must learn to walk the humble road, the low
road, if you want to learn how to be truly used by Me. (II:14)

You've got to remember the garment of humility if you want to be guarded and protected against the fiery darts of the
enemy.
Choose this day whether you will be a help in constructing, building and edifying My Kingdom, or whether you're going to
tear down and destroy!
If you will be a helper and a builder, you must keep on the garment of humility. (II:15)

To give that which is pure requires humility.

Only in total humility does one find the grace to give out that which is pure, the pure, unadulterated light and water and
food from Heaven, the spiritual nourishment that will truly set them free and will truly strengthen the sheep. (II:18)

Wrong attitudes, aggressions, bitterness and pride affect your freedom more than any person ever can. (II:33)

That's where the admonition comes in to be one another's servants, preferring one another and esteeming the other
higher... Humility. - A great virtue to strive for. (II:44)

Don't feed your pride by self-elevating ministries, but feed the fire of love by doing the humble thing instead. (II:58)

It's humbling when you find yourself unable to give as much as demanded, when you fall short of expectations, but it just
shows that what you need cannot come from yourself, but from a Source that is greater than you. (II:66)

Will you live as a lying and deceitful little "king," reigning for a short time in your own little realm of pride and self-
righteousness, judging everyone by your own laws and rules, and forever thinking you know better than everyone else,
including Me, or will you turn around and walk the humble but truthful and honest and sincere road of a true prince for Me?
(II:86)

When you're humble and small, then you're able to love people. Humility and love are one.
504
Seek not to be in a position where you can lean on your own arm, your own pride, where you think you don't need to be
loving to anyone because you're so self-sufficient!
Keep walking My "low" road, happily and humbly and gratefully! (II:94)

Walk the low and humble road, whether you feel like it or not!
Just let yourself go and fall into My lap, that low valley of humility, and trust Me that I will catch you there, proud of you for
having trusted Me, and able to bless you for it.
Being honest about your needs creates an atmosphere of humility, but it's the natural way it was intended to be. (II:98)

There is great peace, love and faith found in humility! Humbly and gratefully appreciating all the little things I have created
for you to enjoy, and to take the time to enjoy them and learn of them! (II:103)

Your problem with getting out My Word is primarily based and seated in pride, since it's obviously humbling to distribute
My Word to a crowd of unbelievers, the majority of which will usually reject you. (II:118)

Humility: the moment you think you've got it, that's when you lost it. The moment you think you are somebody, that's the
moment you fall! As long as you're willing to humbly remain a nobody for Me, for My sake and My glory, you're faring
safely.
One of the basic requirements for true prophecy is humility. "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed, lest he fall."
(II:121)

If you want to be a blessing to others instead of a burden and if you want to remain a blessing until the end of your days,
make sure you stay humble, stay close to Me and remember that you are nothing and I am Everything.
That's why I'm keeping you down at a level of accomplishing nothing you could ever start giving yourself the credit for.
What you have, you only have because you have received it from Me. The Jews sought to give the glory and credit to their
own arm of the flesh, and when they did, they ceased being My people and became My enemies.
Even so, many of the church have fallen victim to pride and the carnal mind frame of the world, considering worldly values
higher than truth and closeness to Me.
Just be sure you play the role I have ordained for you, which is the humble and meek and lowly role, and don't fall for the
"script" the Devil might offer you. The humble, meek and lowly way is My way, and basically all others are not.
Cruelty, hatred, fear, pride... the world knows enough of that. Let's make a difference together by showing them heaven's
humility. (II:145)

Humility can be an incredibly effective weapon! You don't let pride consume your energy, you won't fall for it, you won't
yield to that temptation to let your flesh make you feel any more "special" than anybody else, because you know, what
does it all amount to, anyway? (II:152)

The ultimate test of humility: When you know that people aren't treating you the right way, when you know they are sinning
against you, or even going to commit a crime against you that they're going to regret for all eternity, as in the case of My
crucifixion, when in such a situation you still won't resist evil, but stay humble and meek and not say a word, and just let it
be... (II:197)

To 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.
The pride that makes you think you're better than God, the root of all sin, is what keeps you from truly drawing closer to
Me! (II:202)

To figure, "Well, if they don't want it, I'm not going to give it to them, even if I know they need it..." that's pride.
Acquire greater faith, love and humility in order to overcome that pride. (II:203)

Cast down those imaginations and high falluting thoughts and fears born of pride that exalt themselves against the better
judgment of the truth and knowledge of God! (II:205)

To bring a Gospel and a message to the world that they don't want to hear is nothing for the proud! This is a job that
requires superhuman humility and obedience, faith and love that goes beyond the natural qualities of man. (II:207)

He that would be the greatest among you, let him be the servant of all. The humblest are the greatest, and the greatest are
the most humble. (II:211)

Some of the most precious lessons you learn are those which you learn from your own mistakes.
Of course, that takes humility. It's tough on one's pride to take the blame and face the consequences of their own actions,
and to deal with what it is you have done wrong. It's always easier to blame the other party for it. But that's not the way you
learn. "Taking the Blame" is a good motto.
There's always another point of view, another aspect and angle to look at it.
The art is to be humble enough to be willing to see it.

505
It takes humility to just accept yourself the way you are, along with all your flaws and faults, even the ones you haven't
been aware of so far, and humility is one of the big goals to strive for, since it's synonymous with love, and the ability to
truly love. So, are you humble enough to face your own faults in order to truly love without limits?
Only if you're humble enough to face your flaws and accept them, and then work on them with My help the best you can,
only then can you lick your pride to the extent where people will be able to tell that they're truly being loved by you. (II:212)

Real goodness, which comes from Me, is born in the humility of the realization that in yourself there is nothing good. (II:252)

It's human to make mistakes! They keep you humble. The proud and haughty who do nothing but criticize have their
reward in feeling so high and mighty and superior in this life, that they can look down on everybody else. (II:255)

I'm after the dismantling of your pride. Your pride resists it, like a tough beast you're trying to kill but that won't give up so
easily.
But only the humble can truly bring refreshment to the thirsty souls of others. Only the humble gain their trust to really be
able to reach down into their hearts and to lead them to Me, the Answer to all their pains and heartaches. "God resisteth
the proud but giveth grace to the humble." Only the humble can fully walk in God's grace, and overflow with it. Humility
and grace walk hand in hand.
Only the humble can take the blows of finding out that the picture you had in your mind, which you thought and were
convinced was so accurate, isn't necessarily the whole truth, after all.
There are enough proud and haughty people around, and they will all meet their doom and downfall; why not be an
exception, somebody who's already walking on the humble ground of the reality that without Me, you are really nothing?
It's the Devil's job to get everyone artificially puffed up and bloated, blown up, way out of proportion to their real, spiritual
size, by artificially created inflation material, like money, fame, reputation, "accomplishments," - some of which may be
very questionable in terms of lasting value. All they rely on is their own artificial facade, and when it collapses, woe is unto
them...
When their pride collapses, everything collapses.
They always say "faith is a crutch," but that's a lie! Faith is the only real and true foundation that's really going to
strengthen you from within. But the real crutch, which only helps to keep the building of a spiritual person standing up
provisionally, without really strengthening the limbs from within, only causing them to further deteriorate, is pride. Pride is
the crutch, not faith!
Humility will get you so much farther than those old crutches of pride! So, seek not to feed your pride, to build up your
own ego, your reputation, seek not the success of this world! Forsake those crutches of pride! Kick your dependence on
them! Toss them away! Burn'em! And see how wonderfully you'll be able to walk and run without them! (Isa.41:10!) Only
humility can ever give you wings to fly! Those crutches of pride, they will only drag you to the ground. So, why limp
around with crutches when you can walk, run freely, and even fly? (II:258)

Stay desperate and humble, humbly reaching out for Me, desperately clinging to Me to make sure you're on the right path.
When you get all proud of yourself and feel like, "Behold, now I've really accomplished something," you lose that humility,
that respect for others, the knowledge that you need them! You become so self-sufficient that you think you could easily
make it on your own. I prefer you humble and small. (II:275)

The pride of life keeps people from doing the will of God. (II:284)

Humbly stay focused on that spiritual creation of Mine in you, knowing that all you are is by My grace. There's nothing you
haven't received. Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you. That's why it's so important for you to take hold of My
Spirit at the start of the day: When you're in the Spirit, you're less likely to fall prey to pride in any form, because My Spirit
is humble. (II:293)

It's pride and the natural tendency for man to want to show off that he can do it himself, but there are situations in life
where the only right move to make is to let Me take over. (II:297)

Broken pride may sound bad to you, but it sounds good to Me.
Pride is the very sin that separates most men from Me. Are you willing to risk your pride for Me, willing to give it a try, even
if you lose everything, for the sake of helping another?
Without sacrificing your pride, you cannot walk the road of faith and love.
Because pride harbors fear of failure and therefore causes failure. (II:307)

Keep learning how to keep a humble attitude and resist the temptation to brag or show off!
If you realize how easily you can be prone to pride, it helps you to make that extra effort to stay humble. (II:308)

Pride starts in the head. You get a "big head" about something you are, something you did, something you're part of. But
humility is a knowledge from the heart that recognizes that whatever I get accomplished through you, I get it accomplished
basically in spite of you, your weaknesses (those which you often consider your strengths) and your flesh.
It's what enables you to be grateful for one another instead of competing with one another, to appreciate one another
instead of judging and labeling one another, to love one another, instead of seeking to promote yourself. (II:343)

506
Pride was a sly and subtle enemy to overcome, since it was My goal and destiny to become an eternal, living symbol and
sample of humility, God's Lamb slain, in humble surrender and yielding.
How much wiser it is to be humble, how much purer, how much more happy one can be if he simply does not allow pride
to take root in his heart, but lets humility dwell there instead. Humility is clearly the better choice and the better path. (II:359)

If you cannot lay yourself into the palm of My hand, free from all fear, pride and pretense, things won't work.
To see where you've lacked , and in which direction you need to be heading is all part of humility. It's humbling for you to
share what's going on deep down inside of your heart. But that's good for you.
It's difficult. It's not easy. It's a fight. Pride fights it, and other factors make it more difficult. But you just cannot give up. It's
something worth fighting for! (II:377)

Dont worry if you're tiny compared to all those who are seeking to make a name for themselves in this world! You wouldn't
want to be "big" in their world!
You would rather want to be a nobody who's got nothing to do with the game that they're playing! There's too much pride
involved! (II:396)

The humble, meek and lowly way is the best way, as far as I'm concerned. (II:402)

Part of humility is humbly accepting that I have blessed others - though seemingly less deserving - with My gifts as well,
even though they may not have to pay the same price for them, of being despised by the world. (II:420)

Self-righteousness and pride are dangerous, because they stop you from even seeing the need for forgiveness, because
they don't let you see your own sin. So, thank Me, even for your besetting sins, for your lack of accomplishing great
things, for being so weak in the flesh, because all these factors are what keep you humble, dependent on Me.
Pride seeks the glory for itself. But if you've got enough reasons to keep you humble, then you don't have as much of a
problem with giving the glory to Me. (II:437)

My way is a very hard way to walk for the proud. Blessed are the humble. (II:447)

It's much more comfortable for folks to concoct their own "truth." It makes a lot more sense to them than My humiliating
truth, which always says the exact opposite of what their pride and their flesh, their carnal mind tells them. (II:448)

Get some heat into your life! Coolness is a manifestation of pride. It's the refusal to show participation, to be willing to get
excited with someone else. It's a lack of love and shows once again how humility equals love, and pride stands for the lack
of it. (II:465)

I'm keeping the pride/humility factor in mind when I'm giving you something, which is why I hardly ever give you anything
that's already perfect in itself. It's just not possible for a human being to stay humble if everything they accomplish always
turns out perfect. (II:473)

People don't know how important humility is. Folks forget it sometimes. Pride and arrogance are the result of demonic
power, System input, and doctrines which feed your ego and make you see things the world's way: "The survival of the
fittest," etc.
If I use someone in a great way, then it's in a bottle-breaking way, one that wouldn't appeal to their own pride or feed their
own egos. I'm not allowing you to come across as "cool." It would be detrimental to your humility factor. (II:484)

There are certain things you will just have to allow Me to uproot if you really want to be free. How much do you want
freedom from pride? How much pain is it worth to you? (II:533)

A putting of self above My Spirit is, in essence, what pride really is.
The art of finding out when it really is My time to speak up about your convictions and when it is best to keep quiet is a real
test of humility. (II:538)

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 and 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. (II:548)

Love is stronger than pride.

If you let My love permeate your very being, pride eventually will not even be able to faze you. Let My Love for you and in
you erase any traces of pride! (II:549)

Those who seek glory in this life and in this world won't be satisfied with the humble life of playing second fiddle to
someone else's tune, a life of obedience, a life of submission. They want to be their own kings. (II:559)

I can more easily work with humble people. They don't have these temptations of all of a sudden feeling more special than
others, more anointed, more "used." They just do what's necessary and fill the need.
507
Remember that whatever you've got, you have only received, and all you can do is humbly pass it on.
The cross, not the miracles, was the ultimate purpose of why I came, My ultimate destiny. It wasn't My time yet to be a king,
but a humble Servant. And that's what you must learn, too.
You've got to discern whether the feelings are just feeding your pride and self-reliance or whether they help you to walk in
My footsteps and that humble road of reliance and dependence on Me. (II:560)

Love and humility are practically one and the same. Without love there can be no humility, and without humility there can
be no real love. Humility is a gift, which you receive for the asking. How much do you ask for it, pray for it, desire it? How
important is it to you?
If you really treasure it, you won't let the enemy steal it by tempting you to feel superior, or play the game of pride. (II:566)

I never imitated the System's way; I came up with My very own, straight-forward and direct way.
My way was love, truth and humility. Adapt to My style instead of theirs.
It's tough to go My way, because it means being willing to take the pain, instead of dishing it out. It means to be ready to
receive the ridicule, ready to be laughed at, instead of being the one who ridicules and laughs at others. It means taking up
the cross yourself, instead of nailing others to crosses with your words.
Make sure that what you say carries the spirit of humility.
It's gotta be love. It's gotta be humble. It's gotta be Me. (II:579)

"From whence come wars...? Even of your lusts that war in your members" (James 4:1). In the case of nationalism it's the lust
of wanting to believe that "What's mine is right." You automatically assume that just because you happen to have been
born in a certain country, "your" country, it automatically makes it something "good" and more special. Just like your
interests, your hobbies, your ministries and your ways of doing things are the best... It's simply pride, glorying in the flesh.
(II:591)

Humility means admitting your own wrong, even when it seems that the finger isn't pointed at you quite in a justified
manner. Once you've got that kind of humility, then unity will also come more easily. (II:613)

Witnessing is really a fool-proof remedy against pride, self-righteousness and a lack of love, because it just practically
forces you to walk in humility and love, you have no other choice.
Don't look down on them! Only look eye to eye, standing on the same level with them. Give them My truth in humility! (II:630)

Its humbling but also liberating when you can take the blame, humble enough to face your own errors and say the hardest
words in any language, I was wrong. (II:640)

Id rather have you battle with feelings of under-accomplishment and being nobody, than indulging in pride and getting all
lifted up over who you are and what youve done. (II:648)

When youve got nothing to lose, no pride, then youre free to give to people without fearing what they think of you. (II:651)

To love, even though they falsely accuse you and attack you, persecute and seek to wipe you out; that is the art of loving
like a savior, who even prays for his enemies on the very cross upon which they nailed him. Do you want to have that
much love?
The way to get there is only over the defeat of pride, the way down to the rock bottom of your soul, where you'll stand
before Me naked and humble, but in truth - no pretenses, not trying to be something, just accepting what you are: dust
upon which I have blown, and trusting that if I will blow on you yet once again, you will rise above it all. (III:14)

Its better to be on the humble side and cast in your lot with the "losers." The losers turn winners again, remember that,
and how do you become more than conquerors? By being willing to be good losers, to look like the losers temporarily.
(III:16)

I periodically have to allow you to be humbled; usually after times when you feel all "built up" by something, some pat on
the back, some encouragement, for which you might have failed to give Me the glory.
I'll always be there to catch you again, but I've got to know for sure that I can trust You; that you're going to be faithful to
give Me all the glory for anything you accomplish, and reminding you of your failures is a good and practical way to ensure
that. It's like "humility insurance." It's not something to dread, although it's natural that you're not so fond of it. But maybe
if you can see it as a necessary part of My plan and procedure, some kind of preventative "safety measure" to make sure
you won't go astray or cave in to pride. (III:19)

It's pride that expects people to be perfect. The pride that tells them, "I deserve better than that." It's the same pride that
tells jealous people, "I deserve to be loved exclusively" also tells them, "I deserve to be treated better than this." So, since
it's the pride that gets hurt, it means and shows that it must be good for your humility factor, if you think what's happening
isn't the way it ought to be for you. At least it's pointing out and showing up the pride.
Humility takes people where they're at, as I did. Betrayal hurts, it's true - it's the toughest blow possible on your pride, your
flesh, your ego. (III:42)

508
The basis of the knowledge that you are nothing, is a good basis for Me to give you everything. As long as there is still any
notion that I chose you because of anything you are in the flesh, you didn't get the point! What you can become is only
because of your willingness to first be made into nothing and nobody, so that everything you are will only be of Me.
Anything else, any element of self, of ego, your old, carnal man, that you allow to enter or to linger around, will be
disastrous. It's gotta be Me. It's gotta be humble, true, kind, give peace to the troubled and set the captives free...
It's pride to just spit out any old nonsense that pops into your head, because it indicates that you think that just because
it's yours, it's gotta be good somehow.
If you feed your ego, it's going to become a monster that's going to turn on you. You start getting easily annoyed and
aggravated, because people are never going to be able to be or act perfect enough to satisfy your pride. Instead of chasing
after any elusive standards, lower your expectations of people, keep humble.
It's a pride trip of wanting to please everybody, instead of just being who you are. (III:43)

All the things that feed pride are taking away from love. (III:45)

When you don't look down on anyone anymore, and you don't consider anyone more deserving of judgment than yourself
anymore, then you're walking through life humbly. (III:50)

For someone who determines their own personal worth by their works and accomplishments, it is hard to stand by and see
others praised or appreciated for theirs. They think, it's something that's being taken away from them. Of course, it's not
rational, reasonable or justified, but just the way pride distorts things. Once you realize and learn how pride works in
different minds, it's a lot easier to deal with it, expose it and to overcome.
The person must be honest enough with themselves to be willing to face it, admit the problem to themselves, and have it
exposed. Some people take themselves too seriously, especially in the field of religious service. Pride has a heyday there,
which is why envy and spiritual jealousy are rampant in the churches, and why I can often rather use simple-minded folks
who are not so stuck on themselves. (III:51)

I wasn't tip-toeing through life, just making sure there were never going to be any hurt feelings! I was an exposer of pride
and false motivations and ambitions of men, and made many enemies. (III:52)

Giving your all in the spirit means going the humble way; giving that which humbles you, not that which builds up your
ego and pride and self-reliance.
I want you to humbly be aware of your incapability except through Me. I don't just want you not to be obviously proud, but I
want you to be definitely humble. (III:54)

Although it's a natural urge to accomplish things you can be proud of, you must realize that this urge is part of the natural
man that is at enmity with God. (III:55)

It's not the high-falluting, glorious road that leads to Our Kingdom, but the low and humble road, often paved with
seemingly mundane and humbling acts.
True spirituality is often merely a matter of doing the seemingly low, humble and mundane tasks in the right Spirit, with the
right vision, incentive and motivation behind it.
It's only pride that makes you want to hide that you're just as much of a dirty sinner as all the rest. Once you admit it and
submit to the cleaning process, it's okay. (III:56)

What you are is important. Especially when you have managed to become nothing for Me. The art is in building up what
you are supposed to be without simultaneously building up your pride, your ego, your carnal self
The carnal man seeks to build up his own pride and seeks the opposite of My will for you. (III:62)

It's not really love, if it's not humble. As soon as the boasting starts, it starts to get smelly in the spirit.
Love is love and pride is pride and ne'er the twain shall meet.
That's why, as soon as there's pride involved, something's wrong, it causes the machinery to malfunction. It's like a law of
spiritual mechanics: a big no-no. (III:63)

Pride is a dangerous deceiver that distorts reality, and once somebody starts walking down that path, the end of happiness
and harmonious living together is in sight. "Pride cometh before a fall." Hopefully, you will just be able to get back up
again, wipe off the dirt, bandage up the wounds and keep walking, and hopefully everyone involved will learn their lesson
and recognize the impostor next time he'll come in another camouflage. (III:65)

The sense of "being needed" can sometimes be a form of pride, or it can minister to your pride.
Sometimes you simply have to have the humility to get out of the way! (III:71)

Disregard the opportunity of relying on the flesh in the more favorable circumstances, and instead of patting yourself on
the back, or trusting in your own arm of the flesh choose to stay humble and desperate and dependent on Me! (III:72)

The secret lies largely in the humility to be able to see and admit that you've been wrong.
Without mistakes and errors, there's no need to repent, nothing to admit to, nothing for which to humble yourself and
admit you were wrong and need help, no need to change. (III:82)
509
It's so important to be honest with yourself and find out what really makes you tic, whether it's love or pride that's
motivating you as your driving force in life.
Pride and vanity become the hidden incentives behind a lot of people's "good deeds." (III:90)

The answer, the solution, is to have the humility to say, "I'm not better than you." (III:102)

It takes humility to take the backseat to an invisible Lover. But blessed is he or she who has the grace to display that
humility, which is one of the highest forms of love anyone can manifest for another, in some cases. (III:115)

It takes humility to be able to take it and recognize that you did something wrong to merit whatever has befallen you. It
takes humility to realize you need help. (III:153)

Be a sample of flexibility and openness to change; of yieldedness and humility: be living proof that it's not all that bad to
forsake one or more of your own ideas for the sake of a simpler, easier solution! (III:169)

It's not only okay to be different, it's good; it's something to be desired, even something to be proud of. For to be different
from the way they are is not to become proud as they do: indulging in the pride of life, the pride of things and riches
obtained and treasures heaped up for yourself in this world. To be different from them is to be humble and to pride
yourself only in Me, only in the gratefulness of being able to experience Me, having Me at your disposal to talk to, to be
close to, to have as your most faithful Companion, Lover, Friend and Husband.
Boasting yourself in Me is a humbling thing before the world, for in their eyes I am as nothing, and those who follow Me
are as nothing. But if you can show them that that so-called nothing is not all that little, after all, and give them a glimpse
of what that "nothing" is capable of, that's the kind of faith I love. (III:190)

Correction is a part of love, love of a kind which requires humility in order to be able to receive it... It requires humility to
give and to receive it, and where there's no humility, that part of love simply cannot flourish, and thus problems are bound
to occur. (III:201)

Often, the reason why people make the choice against Me or you is not even so much because of their own rebellion, but
because there is simply not enough love there that would motivate them to pay the price of giving up their pride.
It takes a lot of love to overcome some people's pride. (III:204)

The "success" philosophy drives many to want to aspire and ever aspire, to climb and ascend, instead of coming down to
the ground of My humble reality and descending.
Come down to the level of the humble, of the lowly, of the simple. The high and mighty and proud are always one step
away from their next fall, but down on the ground of hardcore reality, you're walking pretty safely.
Away from the glamour of the ascended, down in the lap of the low, that's where you'll find the comfort of My Comforter.
Down there, in unity with your humble brethren do you find My real greatness, that will make you stick out from the norm
of those making a name or place for themselves, some kind of position of renown, comfort or safety... their own little
kingdoms, instead of letting Me establish Mine within them. (III:208)

My warriors fight with meekness, because they know the victory is not theirs, but Mine. I give the victory. There are those
who confide in their own pride, their own abilities, their own arm, but all these things are vanity, compared to what I
consider important, which is unity, love and humility. (III:234)

As long as you still rely on anything about yourself, you're not putting your whole trust in Me.
Putting your trust in your natural self allows pride a foothold in your life.
What people really like is a spirit of humility. What they almost admire most about you is your courage to humble yourself
before them.
Humility enables you to reach people. Pride doesn't. Pride is what stands between you and them. Even if that pride is only
something you resort to as a sort of protection to keep you from getting hurt, that fear of getting hurt is still a sin you need
to overcome. For you must trust in Me, trust that I will protect you. (III:235)

Its better for Me to keep you low, small, and unrecognized. It keeps you more desperate and dependent on Me. It also
keeps you less distracted by the effort to try and please everybody. (III:241)

Humility is keeping on trusting Me steadily for whatever I'm doing in your life, in spite of however unworthy you may seem
of it, since it's got nothing to do with your "worth" or "worthiness" to begin with. (III:248)

Just give all the credit and glory to Me, and nothing will go wrong. I'm the only One Who can handle it, since I'm totally free
of pride.
Pride is the opposite of what I am, it's absolutely absent from My nature. The only thing I pride Myself in is you, My bride,
and the Father, His infinite wisdom and glory. So, if you give all the credit to Me, in return you'll receive some of that same
grateful and humble Spirit that brings down true glory that glories in nothing else but the One to Whom all glory, honor and
power and recognition is due...
Just get out of the way and be Mr. Invisible for a while, like Him . (III:264)

By taking the humble seat and refusing to put yourself above anyone, but respecting their way of dealing with things, you
can sometimes learn a lot more, and wind up with a few surprises here and there, things you couldn't have gleaned from
rationalism...
You have to trust that everyone has their God-given role to play. (III:278)

You're supposed to esteem each other higher than yourselves, preferring one another. How much do you practice that?
You're really only practicing it as much as you do with the person you have the hardest time with. (III:282)

If you walk through life with the humble attitude that you can learn something from anyone, and anything they've got to
say, from any child or person, you'll find you'll develop a lot more patience with your fellowmen. (III:284)

Some are so soaked in pride, all they want in life is to show how much they can achieve and accomplish on their own.
(III:302)

Pride causes folks to have a hard time dealing with their faults. They refuse the pain it causes them.
You'll just have to allow them to move in their own reality that they have the faith for, and continue hoping that some day
they'll be ready for the rest of it.
Pride has a way of camouflaging itself as a type of love that is very dictatorial about what truths it allows in its midst. It's
the most dangerous type of pride, since it does most of its damage from the inside and largely unrecognized. (III:303)

Showing and admitting your vulnerability after you've been hurt requires humility. (III:319)

Are you going to let the enemy make you believe that you're better? Or are you humbly going to remember your own sins
that I have wisely allowed you to commit, precisely in order to prevent that from happening?
Maybe those little sins are there to keep you humble and keep out the really big ones that really can make life a pain for
you! (III:344)

Pride and ego can sometimes twist your perception of things. (III:349)

If the enemy can't distract you with sin and with things that are definitely and obviously leading you away from My will, like
worldly temptations or the lust of the eyes or the lust of the flesh, then he'll use spiritual pride.
If it's just pride that motivates and spurs you on, instead of love, then there's no chance in a lifetime you're going to be
among the winners.
Because pride and other false motivations will drain the energy and life-blood out of you. The only true incentive that will
help you to keep going until the very end is love. And of course the devil will seek to replace that by any false incentive, if
he can, and that's what you've got to be aware of. (III:354)

You don't want to be humiliated, don't want to risk being ridiculed... you consider yourself worth more than that. But what
you don't realize is how far above everyone else you're putting yourself through this, how you're putting the value of
immortal souls that could be won by your willingness to humble yourself a little bit, way below your own pride, your own
"reputation," your coolness, and keeping your "dignity" intact. You're trying to preserve your "image" at all cost, instead of
allowing Me to destroy it, in order to create a new and better one, or even better yet, a totally new and real you, one that
doesn't need any false image to go by.
That image is keeping you bound, and a prisoner, not the circumstances or people you blame! Pride has been the greatest
jail master of all times, keeping more prisoners in chains than any other sin or master.
It's as if you're trapped in a hall of mirrors which distort your image into something you can more easily live with than the
you you could be by humbling yourself, overcoming your pride and fears, and being willing to be a fool for My sake.
By refusing to become a fool for My sake you only become a fool for your own sake, a fool for the cause of preserving your
pride.
Is your pride really something worth living and dying for? (III:360)

Your talents and abilities really make it hard for you to stay humble and not fall for the temptation to feel superior to those
who don't have the same amount of skill, and the temptation to look down on them somewhat, which basically is the root
of familiarity.
Familiarity stems from the pride of deeming yourself superior in some way to those people who you have allowed yourself
to lose respect for; you consider yourself more "worthy" than they, obviously "favored by the gods," since they have
endowed you with greater gifts from on high than your brethren.
That can be dangerous, though, and leads to the same kind of self-righteousness that led Cain to believe that he was more
worthy of My honoring him, and that he deserved it more than Abel. He was judging things by his own criteria, and he
refused to accept Mine.
If you humbly accept My criteria, and recognize that in My eyes those less shiny and less obvious gifts of your seemingly
weaker brethren are actually more valuable than those flashy gifts, then you can keep your respect for them, and you can
even look up to them and learn from them, and you don't have to follow that accursed path of pride until its end, but turn
around and go the different direction.

511
Heres a lesson on respect vs. familiarity, humility vs. pride, you can learn from the church of Smyrna and Laodicea, from
Cain and Abel... If you know what to look out for, and what My criteria are, you can find true wisdom, and you'll always
have the right attitude toward Me and others. (III:364)

Let's just assume the humble position, and pretend you don't know a fraction of all there is to know. (III:365)

Pride can make you feel like your own ego, honor or hurt feelings are more important. (III:368)

It takes humility to sometimes share less than all you could, to say less than everything you know all at once, and to
maybe let somebody else do the talking for a change, who may not know quite as much, but may have a better sense of
what the appropriate diet and needed input for your spiritual babies may be.
Otherwise, it can become an act of the flesh, rather than relying on the gifts of My Spirit to really pour out to them what I
tell you they need. It can become merely an exchange of carnal knowledge, when what you really need to do is pour out
rivers of living water from the spirit, rather than your head.
Youve got to listen to the Spirit when you pour out to your sheep, and let Me do the talking through you. (III:386)

Pride simply doesnt pay off in My business! And it doesnt pay off in relationships, either. And isnt that what My business
is all about? So, theres still a lot to learn along the lines of this relationship business, and one of the first lessons is to
humble yourself to ask, to openly make your needs known, as well as your appreciation for having them met (III:393)

All I gave the man blind from birth was a bit of mud made from spittle and dirt of the ground, along with a commandment,
to go and wash. But his obedience to do as I said, and his humility to make something out of the apparently humble gift
he was given resulted in a miracle thats been the source of the opening of eyes of many ever since (III:397)

if youre not handling things gracefully, then it must be that your pride is standing in the way.
Your pride is giving you hell over whats befalling you. Humility would help you take it more gracefully. So, why not just
acquire some of that humility that gives you the grace to take things more cheerfully and without murmuring?
Pride might be telling you, Aw, you could run this whole show a lot better in Gods place. But humility tips your shoulder
and reminds you, forget it! (III:406)

There is more hope for anyone who knows theyre a mess than for someone who thinks theyre so great. (III:410)

Pride will regularly try to invade your lives and throw in some monkey wrench.
Be aware of the devils devices through pride, and the damage he can cause pretty quickly, if you dont stay on guard.
Staying humble means also to be able to take some fuss with grace occasionally, and not react in an ugly way that will
make a mountain of a problem out of what could have been a little molehill.
A large percentage of maturity is humility. As long as youre still proud, youre prone to acting immaturely. (III:440)

Your humility is more important to Me than your looks, because your humility level in this life helps determine your eternal
appearance, not just your temporary carnal appearance that seems to be so all-important to everyone these days. (III:452)

Its supposed to help keep you humble, being so weird, so odd and so unaccepted, so apart from the norm!
The proud can meet the standards of what the world expects from them, and they can be proud of that. But pride isnt the
ticket to heaven or happiness; love is, and love is synonymous with humility.
As soon as you start getting lifted up in pride and you start thinking youre even slightly better than your fellowman, the
first thing out the door is your love for them. And with your ability to love, your happiness also goes.
So, what would you rather be? Proud of who you are and miserable and unhappy, or happily, humbly loving?
Its all a question of how much youre willing to embrace humility. The hip have every reason to be proud. The un-hip
have every reason to be humble. So would you rather be hip and proud or odd and humble? If you can accept your
oddness and strangeness as a means for Me to keep you humble and happy, maybe then you can live with it better.
The world says, Blessed are the cool, the hip and the proud. I say, blessed are the odd, the strange and the humble.
(III:453)

Its so much better to have a humble attitude.

Is your attitude, I deserve better than that? Better than the way they treat you, better service, more attention, etc.?
Or are you doing what you can in order to make it better for them, too?
Are you living a life of service, or are you waiting to be served?
Putting yourself above others with an attitude of expectation to be waited upon is cheating yourself out of all the
blessings, since it is more blessed to give than to receive, not to mention the rewards that await those who follow in My
footsteps of being a humble servant of all
Dont seek to be served, but to serve.
A humble attitude and a helpful one, doing what you can, is a whole lot better than a demanding one.
Good and true rulers are loving, kind and humble, and they dont mind pitching in with some of the work themselves.
The best and safest way to ensure your happiness is for you to take on a humble servants attitude. (III:467)

Sometimes its okay to be humbled a little by the fact that you do need others. (III:471)

512
Pride cometh before a fall, theres no way around it. Whenever you detect pride in your life and thoughts of self-
elevation, you better brace yourself for the crash. Its inevitable. Its My protective system of what I cherish as My most
valuable assets. I cannot allow you to be ruined by falling victim to pride. Pride makes you unusable for Me. It ruins
everything.
I need you humble, knowing that without Me you cannot do anything good, and that Im your only hope.
Pride is an enemy with whom I cannot allow you to fraternize in any way, and not for any amount of time. - Because it will
kill you spiritually, if you allow it to linger around. There is no other way than the humble way, if you want to walk Gods
way and do things His way and My way. The only way to do things when youre walking Gods way is the humble way.
Stay humble! Stay low! And refuse to become elevated and lifted up in pride or thinking youre so good! (III:484)

Another facet of pride that is very common: the inability to see ones own mistakes. Its a wide-spread spiritual disease,
and if you come up with any cure for it, itll be like finding a cure for cancer.
This form of pride and self-righteousness is responsible for an incredible amount of evil in this world, because it makes
people march off to war innocently in their firm belief that theyre doing a right thing for a right cause (III:504)

The art is not to stand in the way or allow pride to stand in the way when Im doing something through somebody . (III:507)

A humble attitude: The opposite of self-reliance.

Theres the connection between money and pride: Reliance on money and your own abilities to get it provokes and
invokes pride, as opposed to humility, the place where theres lots of room for Me to bring improvement and My goodness.
Pride is the filling up of that room with things you have created (at least in your mind) for yourself, instead of letting Me fill
it
Pride is the sin that allows things like money to fill and usurp the place that was destined for Me. (III:520)

Humility enables you to esteem one another higher than yourself, the only attitude that will ever empower you to lay down
your life for one another. (III:534)

Refusal to deal with ones own blame is probably the most widespread and most common spiritual disease The pride to
refuse to reckon with ones own mistakes, sins and faults. (III:538)

Its 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 (III:591)

He that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed, lest he fall. Its better to be not so sure of yourself, better to be humble.
Youve got to make sure that you wont allow yourself to put your confidence in your own flesh, your own wit and abilities,
instead of in Me. You virtually become another person when you do, and you swiftly mutate from the humble and sweet
nobody you usually are when youre down and out, not knowing how youre going to make it, into that self-confident
somebody. (III:595)

Dependence on Me knows I deserve nothing, and thus humbly and gratefully accepts and yields to whatever I bring
along in your life.
If you refuse to be too proud to admit that youre dependent on Me for everything, youll always have everything you need,
plus safety and shelter from the storms of this life, and youll make it somehow. (III:597)

The humble attitude of willingness to take the blame is always healthier and more conducive to peace and finding the
solution, than the self-righteous finger-pointing attitude of just blaming the other party.
If you honestly and humbly admit that you still have lots to learn yourself, youll get further than by the method of
appointing yourself to the only position of the teacher, and everyone else as the students. (III:601)

Why not show some understanding and humility, instead of that alienating spirit of pride and self-righteousness? (IV:2)

Pride conveys the notion to people that they deserve better, instead of being thankful for what theyve got and humbly,
gratefully accepting it.
Thinking they know better than I to have handed them a situation, and putting themselves above Me in their own minds,
precisely wraps up what pride exactly is. (IV:33)

Not every battle My soldiers ever fight is won. Not if theyre not aware of the enemys devices, if theyre foolish enough to
ignore him or in their pride refuse to see him at work in their own lives (IV:36)

Your attitude should always be that of a humble seeker for more, never thinking you have arrived, regardless of how much
I pour out to you. (IV:37)

Some people just want to be something or someone more special or more important or powerful than the position I
can offer them along the road of humility.
They cant just live humble lives waiting for the fulfillment of the promise of future recognition that I will give each one for
their works in eternity. (IV:107)

513
Great peace have they which love Thy Law and nothing shall offend them. Nothing can hurt you, because youve got
nothing to lose, no pride left to get hurt, no sensitive feelings, no ego to get hurt or offended, just who you are in Me and
what you are supposed to be. Youve got the peace then of the truly humble, and the truly free, with nothing left to lose.
Put on My robe of humility and move with the wind of the freedom of having nothing left to lose (IV:120)

Put on My mantle of peace and humility, that will make you too small to get hurt! Only the big shots get hit. Only big egos
can get hurt or offended. Little, humble nobodies wont even feel anything. (IV:122)

Our Spirit flows freely into the lowest places and humble hearts and shuns the proud and haughty of whatever confession
and religious affiliation. (IV:143)

Being a nobody and just walking through life as an empty zero, as opposed to a big shot somebody, enables you to zoom
into people, get onto their level, instead of judging them according to the degree to which they are different than you.
(IV:144)

I want you to live a life according to the message you preach, and since My message is one of humility, I require that
measure of humility from you to also pitch in and apply some elbow grease at home regularly. (IV:188)

The devils attitude of pride brought sin and all of evil into the world.
Success in relationship, in life itself, and just about everything, is thus determined by the largely underestimated virtue of
humility. Humility determines who will be the losers and who will be the winners at the end of this game of life. It is one of
the principal weapons with which this war of the worlds is going to be won, as paradox as that may sound to some and
contrary to all they presently assume and think. (IV:193)

In the dying daily of witnessing, theres nothing in it for the flesh: no glory, no survival benefits, only a humbling and
breaking process and death to pride. (IV:201)

Lucifer offers prosperity and affluence and power in this world, in the here and now, while I call for abandon of these
things.
His Gospel of pride sounds more attractive to most than My Gospel of Humility. The followers and disciples of the Gospel
of Humility will always be fewer in this world than those of the false gospel of pride (IV:207)

Im going to have to make sure that you stay close to Me and dont become high-minded and fall prey to pride and self-
elevation, or that you dont become independent, too critical of others and start thinking that youre the only one whos on
the right path. (IV:224)

Its a very good and valuable as well as rare character trait to be able to give the credit to someone else, especial when
theyre invisible, and its really good for your humility, which is one of the most valuable qualities of character per se.
Without humility, its almost as if anything you do for Me or claim to do for Me is worthless compared to the value the same
achievements attain when the glory and credit for them is given to Me.
Giving Me the glory for what you have done is the only proper and appropriate ending it should have, just like Amen is the
proper ending to a prayer. (IV:251)

Humility can live with it when it seems as though nobody needs and wants you, because I suffice, and just the knowledge
that I need and want you is sufficient for you. The truly humble dont need that constant visible and audible affirmation of
people needing, wanting and appreciating them; they can live without it, because they know that I appreciate what theyre
doing and will reward them accordingly, and thats enough for them. I am enough for them.
They dont need the big flatteries and praises of the people. Now, can you live without that, too? Can you be truly humble?
(IV:269)

I need you to be humble! Anything other than humble just wouldnt do! So Ive got to do things to make you humble, keep
you humble, and make sure youre still humble!
Welcome to Humble Club! - The club of the true winners!
The standards of the world are not humble. They go by whatever feeds their pride and their ego and their feelings of self-
worth. Your feelings of self-worth should be based on whatever true worth I convey to you and give you. Its all a gift of
God, nothing you can be proud of for having achieved it yourself.
Once you start giving Me all the glory, then Ill know youre truly humble. (IV:282)

Its tough on your pride, that role of the invisible, unnoticed nobody in the background that hardly anyone ever finds out
even existed, but then, who needs pride, anyway?
Pride is what hurts. Humility doesnt feel anything. In other words, humility is what makes you invulnerable. If you want to
hurt, keep clinging to your pride, which is going to tell you to wallow a bit in your self-pity and that you may have all the
right in the world to be hurt. If you want to save yourself the masochism, just hang on to humility. (IV:309)

Some people are never completely happy until they occupy the first place in someone elses life, even if they may never be
conscious or aware of that trait. Thats the secret, hidden part of pride that subconsciously causes its victims to practically
demand worship from them.
514
When you feel like nothing, and worthless, thats when I get a chance to renew you and make something for real out of
you. As long as you think youre something or someone, youre never as desperate to have Me remold and reshape your
life completely, according to My plan and wisdom

the best thing to keep your feet on the ground and stay humble and realistic is to stay aware of your weaknesses and your
fragile, flawed frame, so that you wont fall into any temptation of wanting to pretend youre something or someone youre
really not

If you dont feel very lovable, then just consider it an even greater joy that I am able to love and accept you fully and totally
as you are. It makes you feel humble. It goes against the grain of the System where everything you get is in exchange for
something you do or are.

You tend to equal mistakes with bad. We say theyre good in the long run, because nothing teaches you better. You equal
perfection with flawlessness. We equal perfection with love, humility and forgiveness.

I use the Enemy and his maneuvers in your life in order to break you, humble you and get you to a certain point.

I am the Master of all things, King of attention to details.

It may sound boastful, but in Me there is no pride. Its simply one of the humble basic facts of the universe the rock on
which someday soon the Devils pride and that of the world will fall and shatter.
Youre well and safe down here at the humble, but ever so solid Rock Bottom Foundation of the universe. There may be no
place thats lower, but also no ground thats safer, and in the long run of things, you will find yourself highly elevated
above their artificially created skyscraper heights and towers that will come crashing down before long.

You can already catch a glimpse of all that Im able to make out of you, and this doesnt just have to be a temporary reality,
but you can embrace this as the new you Im bringing forth out of this breaking experience, melting and humbling

My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. What is My yoke and burden? That of forgiveness in spite of having been
wronged, that of love unconditional, that of humility, instead of clinging to grudges in pride!

You must come down from the hard and stony ground and flow down into the regions of soft, humble and receptive hearts.
(2011:4)

Love doesnt work without humility. And in order to keep you humble, and thus, capable of love, I have to allow you to have
certain weaknesses. (2011:11)

If you keep in mind that true enlightenment comes from Me and My humble and unorthodox, not-of-this-world ways, and
not your standards people almost universally try to impose on the rest of the world, maybe you'll go about the whole thing
from a different angle, and not so much as the great condescending teacher, as much as a humble student and learner
who could use a whole lot of unlearning of useless ways first... (2011:37)

Try a little humility a very important factor in the My yoke is easy clause and give Me the glory, instead of feeling all
great about yourself, patting yourself on the back or taking it for granted that, of course, you should make it, why not, you
always have Yes, you did, but because Ive helped you, and I need and want you to acknowledge that. (2011:39)

Its pride that causes anyone to say and assume, "I don't need any help. I'm doing fine on my own." The thing about pride
is, it is always only temporal, just like any of the other evils you're dealing with. (2011:48)

To be able to rely on Me and on My Strength requires humility. (2011:102)

I would consider attaining humility a great success, whereas pride is a definite sign of failure in My book.
True success and humility go together like hand in glove. Humility is the glove that covers the hand that has achieved
great things according to My book.
If you dont have a lot of reasons to feel proud of yourself, I wouldnt necessarily view that as a negative, but actually as a
positive aid to stay on the right path. Be thankful Im keeping you humble instead of letting you get a big head! (2011:113)

Its a matter of humility or pride whether youll take the humble seat and accept that I am fair and know what Im allowing
by bringing this slate across your path, or you insist that Im the One Whos being unfair, mistaken and that life is unfair.
very few people are cut out for a life of service nowadays because theyre all being brainwashed into keeping their
dignity, their sovereignty and independence, all of which really boils down to pride.
Mans pride has always been his own downfall: the worship of his own flesh and blood will disable him to do any good
thing he might want to do. (2011:114)

Do you have enough humor and humility to laugh about yourself and the ridiculous situations youre winding up in?
(2011:116)

515
It's hard to stay humbly content with what you have when you see the devil's people rubbing it under your nose how much
better they've got it, as if to say, "Seems as if you made your bet on the wrong Guy!" (2011:125)

The truly great things, as far as Im concerned are hidden in humility of the kind you acquire only by doing the humble,
little, maybe seemingly insignificant things in situations where you may feel like a nobody, but sticking it out there, and not
trying to make somebody great out of yourself in your own efforts. (2011:141)

The rewards cant be the motivation, since it would be a selfish one, constantly feeding your ego and pride and sense of
self-accomplishment, instead of the necessary love and humility it takes to really lay down your life for others and do truly
great works. (2011:142)

Its human pride and nature to resent the thought of having to give your life for something or someone not worthy of you.
Its the Enemy who likes to sow those seeds of pride and looking down on people. What youre looking for, really, is a
humbler attitude than that. Again, it seems that humility is the simple and unrecognized solution (2011:147)

Keep a humble attitude, one of a student and learner!

Without humility a teacher has nothing of lasting value to teach. (2011:148)

The true path is one of humility and gratitude, of acceptance of the fact that there is nothing you havent received, and that
you gratefully ought to appreciate it and treat it as a gift and not take it for granted as though you naturally deserved it for
some reason.
Even if those things are less than - or even far from - perfect, it behooves you to show gratitude, assuming the humility
that the Giver of Life knows better what to give you than your own preference of what youd take if you had the choice.
(2012:2)

Any kind of experience that forces you to reconsider what you think you know and that prompts some sort of reset of your
mind to the humble state of emptiness is always a positive, as far as Im concerned, no matter how hard it may seem to be
for you to take at the time being. (2012:14)

Finding out that youre not all as smart and knowledgeable as you may have thought you were might help you relate to the
people you look down on and realize youre in the same boat with them: youve all got a lot to learn.
Basically, thats a core point of the whole learning program you call life or history: meeting your own limits and coming to
grips with your own failures and lack of divinity makes you realize your need for it, desire it, seek it, and thus enabling you
to find the only way of obtaining it. The way to find divinity is to first of all realize that you havent got it in your present
state, that youre blatantly devoid of it and desperately need it, and then, that theres no way on earth youre ever going to
obtain it by your own carnal efforts, no matter how ceaselessly the Devil will tell you the opposite.
- In other words, humility, and the ability to accept the honest-to-God, delusion-shattering, naked truth about yourself.
its at first discouraging when you wake up to the fact how nothing you really are, and what a failure in your own might, but
thats where youve got to kick your pride and reach out and hang on to Me.
The reason I can say this without the slightest trace of being overbearing is that Im Humility, free of any of the current
carnal shackles of pride that hassle you. Theres not a trace of ego here where I am, and thats why its the perfect Place for
you to run to.
As soon as your focus turns back to the world and circumstances around you, the voices of the ego pipe up again,
reminding you to pep up your pride and walls of self-defense. Thats why Im urging you to spend more time over Here,
send your mind over to the Spirit World more often and let it rest Here and bask in the true sunshine of humility and the
warmth found in the absence of any pride and need to approve or defend yourself. (2012:35)

Its much more appropriate to take on a humble learners attitude than that of a judgmental Mr. Know-It-All. (2012:44)

Sometimes youve just got to eat humble pie and accept the fact that when it comes to the inhabitants of My Realm, youre
unfortunately not the smartest guy around! But that youve got a lot to learn yet.
Youve just got to know your place, and when thats not the case, dont mind Us putting you back there, in the place where
you belong!
A little bit more humility wont do you any harm at all! (2012:47)

Not everybody has the energy to keep clean on a physical level, the way others do, and some dont even have the means,
but theyre humbler, more peaceable and in many cases simply more human than those well-polished people in high
establishments. (2012:48)

When something goes wrong and you feel humbled and humiliated by your failure, its obvious that youre not going to be
thrilled about it, initially. But take it as a sign of My care, My devotion to you as a teacher and parent. I want to protect you
from greater harm and more serious mistakes by using this one to teach you to be not only more careful, but also more
prayerful. (2012:50)

Judgmentalism basically puts you above others in your own mind, thats why its arrogance and pride, as opposed to the
humble assumption that youre no better and are just as apt to make the same mistakes as anyone else.

516
The humility of accepting youre a sinner and taking the responsibility for your mistakes yourself, along with the
acceptance of your circumstances (unless Ive definitely put it in your heart to do something to change them) with the
conclusion that you probably dont deserve any better, is the kind of attitude that could potentially make this world a better
place. Needless to say, humility and admission of sin arent exactly items on the list of the top twenty hippest things
theyre not exactly en vogue or considered cool. (2012:62)

What do we really know at all? is a good, humble and realistic attitude to have. (2012:71)

It takes humility to be able to learn from your mistakes. (2012:86)

Yes, it requires more faith and humility to live a life of reliance on Me and My provision by means of the help of others. But
doesnt it stand to reason that that faith and humility will make you a better man? (2012:87)

Some folks really made a dent and left an impact on society and history. But others did their best, too, and were never
heard of. Its definitely not about who gets the most glory in this world, and much less who gets in the most working hours
or rakes in most of the money. Its more about what you did with what you were given, and showing gratitude and a humble
attitude even when what youre handed doesnt seem to be all that much of a lucky strike. (2012:98)

Sometimes you wonder how on earth youre going to make it; and youre right: in your own, physical strength alone you
probably wont, and thats why you need to be able to rely on Me and on My strength, which requires humility, not some
strong sense of independence. (2012:102)

The clueless are usually so much humbler, and they know that theyve pretty much got no other option than to trust Me,
whereas the know-it-alls trust only in themselves. (2012:116)

People are always much quicker to spot and point out the faults in others than they are ready to see and face their own.
Generally, they lack the degree of honesty and humility it takes to criticize and discipline themselves. (2012:129)

It requires humility to serve, but what the world advertises and glorifies is the opposite, pride. One of the principal things
youre learning in this life as preparation for the next, is the humility to serve. (2012:131)

Thats basically what pride is: the habit of overestimating your self, causing you to think more highly of yourself than is
due, and consider yourself superior to others, even the Supreme Being Himself, and thats where the real danger comes
in
The only way to prevent falling into the trap that brought about the Enemys downfall is to abide on My wavelength.
(2012:147)

Few have the insight and humility we find in Job, of saying, If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me. (2012:154)

You didnt expect that road to be such a humbling one. People never do. They always expect some sort of glory to be
awaiting them there along the track of fulfilling their destiny.
Would you have been ambitious enough to keep looking, if I would have let you in on how lowly and humbling it would
turn out to be?
I admit its a lot quieter, lowlier and humbler than the rah-rah the flesh hopes for.
Youve still got a ways to go before you reach My level of humility.
Could humility be a goal worthy of pursuit and striving for?
Whats so bad about a little bit of humility? (2012:156)

Arrogance stinks, as far as most people are concerned, and if youre prone to it, it will always be hard for you to reach out to
others and win them over
The art is to maintain a level of humility that lets your fellow humans know that even though you might be better at
something special than they are, you still consider them equal to yourself; you dont look down on them because theyre
not as good at it as you are, but you help them on their way up to become as good at it as you, or at least as close to that
as possible (2012:157)

Faith takes the humility to believe and trust that I can see more than you do and that I know more than you do, and thats
why things are taking the course they are, and not the one that you or anyone else may think they should be taking, or
would, if they were in charge. (2012:168)

The biggest problem is with people not being aware of their own sins, potential pitfalls, shortcomings, temptations they
are prone to yield to, and weaknesses. Nobody likes to dwell on or deal with those things, so theres a general blindness to
peoples own wrong-doings with excessive focus on the wrongs committed by outsiders, especially those unlike
themselves, and the result is intolerance
Its a lack of humility and honesty that makes them unwilling to face and confront their own evil; and thus, not really
knowing themselves, theyre often not really capable of leading relationships that are anything like theyre meant to be.
(2012:182)

517
How do you think King David felt for the rest of his life, having to live with the conscience that he only got his wife by
seeing to it that her husband would be killed in battle? He knew he couldnt fool Me about any goodness of his. He knew
he was a sinner. And thats basically what humility is.
You can live with the fact that youre bad and a mess because you know thats what I came for: to save you from that mess
that is you. (2012:183)

People in the world pride themselves in their possessions, while I like for My followers to bathe themselves in humility.
Consequently, its generally not a bad thing to have to do without some of those luxuries, since exercise in the virtue of
modesty also exercises your level of humility.
The only way to reach anybody is through humility and being able to humbly see eye to eye with them, not
condescendingly, from some often imaginary higher plain.
Pride comes easily to people within their own domain they feel familiar with; and having learned to cope and deal with their
environment sometimes does tend to make them overly secure and somewhat cocky about it. Being a stranger in a strange
land, perhaps even a little bit of somewhat of an outcast, can help keep you humble, if you dont fall into the trap of the
temptation of isolating yourself from the people mentally, and elevating yourself above them in your own conceit, even if
only as a reaction to their perceived rejection of you.
So, this is a reminder to choose the path of humility, the much more pleasant, peaceable and softer one than the
alternative. (2013:11)

Whats good for you is the humility that comes from being reminded that you have nothing, no position or rank or
possessions to boast of in this world, and of the fact that theres nothing youve got that you did not receive. (2013:22)

Casting a glance at your own negativity and discontent in search for the root of your problems and seeking the need for
change right there would be a so much humbler attitude, and also bring so much more honesty and truthfulness into your
life.
Why not keep the focus on the requirements that are truly needed in order to gain points in the game of life, such as
humility, selflessness, kindness?
Why not have a look at the problems that are not only in your power to solve, but that would also cry for a remedy a lot
louder and urgently your own? Just recognizing that this is where the root of most of your problems lies, with yourself,
not everywhere else, already changes a lot, since it gives you a humbler, less critical and more accepting attitude toward
others and life itself. (2013:23)

Its helpful to live around humbler, which often means, poorer folks, sometimes, who dont make the battle so hard by
constantly showing off what theyve got and you dont. (2013:26)

Look at pride: Isnt it actually nothing more than the ambition to be someone, to fill a position and acquire some sort of
status of importance and significance in this world? Humility thus would be the recognition and full acceptance and
coming to grips with the fact how futile those efforts are, because when it comes to this world and its affairs, Solomon was
right: All is vanity. (2013:101)

Maybe coming to grips with the overwhelming force of the enemy just by sheer numbers and the extent to which its
taking over will do one good thing for you: keep you meek and humble. (2013:104)

Some people get bitter about certain things they encounter in life, and wonder, What sort of mystical lesson is supposed
to be gleaned from that? Well, it takes humility to even recognize and accept some of them, for they expose your own
deepest darkness, your worst flaws and weaknesses, and the more successful and the closer to perfect people are
outwardly or in the world, the harder if becomes for them to recognize, face and deal with them.
Rejoice in your weaknesses and flaws, for they keep you humble enough to be able to see the light that shines into the
darkness of yourself. (2013:105)

Sometimes Ive got to call you back down to the humble ground of reality for a rein check. You may have thought you were
doing great, but here we are and Im having to tell you, you werent. As always, lots of room for improvement, much more
than you were able to see before this happened.
Tread a little more humbly and quietly. Its time to play some quieter, humbler tunes. (2013:124)

Its not that great to think youre smarter and wiser, and not worth it Sometimes if or when you do or someone does,
things will happen that will enable those who do to change their minds and become humbler. The low ways down humble
people (2014:4)

Whats better? Being more humble or proud? Being aware that you need My help, or being confident in yourself alone?
When youre not as strong and proud, its more humbling; and its better in the long run (2014:7)

People who are proud of their gift of prophecy but are otherwise a negative and selfish example of what they pretend to
believe, are not doing a good job for Me. (2014:9)

Whats wrong with humility? It makes you much more capable to love than pride, which is largely affection for oneself
Maybe its one of the main problems: rejecting the humiliation. But humility is definitely better than pride, and you
518
shouldnt reject it when its happening. Its one of the things you can learn from Me, if you take more time to have company
with Me instead of being concerned about whatever your big role might be in the world
Just remember that a great role full of pride wont make you feel so wonderful and great in the Hereafter as it may have
made you in the temporal world Try to look up a bit more to humility as a greater treasure to gain, and something much
more blessed by Me and the Father than pride, which isnt nearly as positive. It may cost you a bit more to take on a lower
position in life, one that makes you cling more to Me, but it will also yield much greater rewards, youll see (2014:19)

Rough times, though they may seem to be the hardest, theyre also the best teachers in many ways Although it takes
humility, and yielding to whatever comes as hard times
Even if humiliation leads you to follow a lower way in this life and world, its better yet than submitting to pride. You must
learn to prefer humility above pride. (2014:23)

What else do you think humility is but caring not too much about making it to the top of things on your own terrain? What
else but caring a bit more for others? What else but not just trying to play the biggest and greatest role yourself? (2014:25)

When someone is all proud of himself because he doesnt need any help from somebody else, it can be that such a person
ought to be humbled and drawn back into a way of needing others; not to feel independent and powerful enough to make it
on their own (2014:29)

Asking people for help is a more humbling factor, and as you can imagine, more humbling sounds more positive to Me.
(2014:34)

Times that make you more desperate for a while are sometimes a bit necessary to make you humbler and somewhat more
victorious in some ways (2014:35)

Its good if you stay humble and dont feel too offended over the change your life had to pass through (2014:36)

Someday it will be good to have realized your own failures. It will more surely contribute to your humility, rather than
causing you to stay proud of your own behavior for a long time Realizing and dealing with your failures is definitely
something worth it. (2014:44)

Life has changed in a way thats expecting from you to learn things in humbler ways, even though those humble ways
arent exactly the ones that pop in fairly natural. (2014:49)

Maybe become and act a little more humble, knowing that you deserve what youre getting in your life Just deal with it
what life is handing you and trust Me that you might deserve it and learn a few lessons out of it Basically it all means,
just let go of your pride a bit, which has never been a good sin to engage in, but would definitely be good to get rid of.
After all, remember that its been the one that got the Devil in his mess, having been an angel before, after all, and one of
the leading ones
Thats why I had to come as a humbler sort and help folks figure things out between pride and humility (2014:62)

Sometimes having to go through some humiliation acts in life are the serious and important parts in life. (2014:66)

Just remember, humility is best, and much better than pride! Humility is closer to love than pride, and remember, thats
largely what the Father is: God is Love. And itll be a lot better to be a part of, or at least something close to Him than
having a force that the enemy is more known for Pride is something thats always better fought to resist and overcome,
if youre a child of God and dont want to belong to the enemy! (2014:80)

Mistakes are made; and sometimes without folks making and committing them knowing that they are And when you do
realize that these were the case, its a good reason to become humble and accept the occurrence of your humiliation
without complaining too much about it. Accepting the judgment of life is sometimes what humility is all about Accepting
Me or the Father as the Judge Who knows what Hes doing, and not just become upset because you still think you know
better than We do
So, becoming humble enough to accept a spanking from or in life you deserved may not be all that bad (2014:84)

Humility instead of pride is what you need; and eventually it wont be necessary for you to think negatively about yourself
anymore. Just keep tryin to stick to a little more humility so that you wont continue criticizing and judging others, putting
them down in your own mind and heart. (2014:85)

It often takes a lot to humble yourself But remember that humility is a better spiritual value to carry than pride. (2014:102)

What did we say about humility? Much better for your spirit and sample than pride!
Its good to be humbled and kept humble by your raising of kids better than just have life minister to your pride! If having
humbling kids is better, youd better get used to being a bit humbled by the way your kids act and behave. If humility is
better than pride, Hallelujah and thank God for your kids! Finally something you cannot be proud of! Finally something
humiliating! (2014:106)

519
Staying humble oftentimes turns out to be the better choice. (2014:111)

Humility is a pretty important part, as I suggested, and dont you agree? How much good has most pride done for folks
who are proud of themselves and their own abilities? Dont think a bit of humiliation would wind up doing you and others a
lot more good? (2014:117)

To be humble (even if it means to have been humbled) means something better at the end of the day than to be proud, trust
Me! Pride is simply not the right thing youd want to live for, even if the majority of people do (2014:118)

The worldly existence is roughly depending on pride of some kind for most. But if thats not what the World is all about
that youll wind up in, but humility instead, well just get into that other wavelength the heavenly one. (2014:132)

Fame in the world is something the enemy makes people want and partly addicted to perhaps because he has that kind
of addiction and desire fueled by pride, too (2014:138)

Others may seem luckier to you in some ways, but their lives are going to be over some day, too, and the difference
between pride and humility as a force of life on earth will then be seen. The humbler attitude will finally appear as the
nobler one.
If Ive been humbling you by weakening your flesh, and even your carnal cerebral power, just trust Me for it, and try to
receive that as what you need or could use the best, in order to gain a bit more of what is more appreciated up Here in
Heaven than pride, which is humility. Welcome back that humility and make the humbling circumstances not seem to you
as if they were your personal enemies. Sometimes humbling comes from the right corner, from above. (2014:139)

Humility is something important, and a basic part of the heavenly structure. Being too convinced of yourself and your own
greatness isnt exactly a part of saintliness, but rather the opposite
See humility as a goal to achieve and pride as something that needs to be left behind! If you go through a humbling phase,
dont see it as something negative! Humility is something positive, so the things that help to make or keep you humble
should be seen as something positive, and a blessing.
Maybe theres still a lot to learn about humility and how to gain and have it and let it help you get rid of pride and if it
would have been something youd have accomplished, well, you might have made it Here already. But if you didnt, pay
attention to all the things youve yet got to learn!
Its a bit hard to help those known for their pride The proud usually think they can make it better themselves, and so
thats what they often have to which goes okay as long as everything is alright, but when things go wrong becomes a lot
harder and tougher. When life is in a hard and tough phase, let it teach you to be more humble!
A little more suffering in life will make you a bit humbler. See it as something positive! What the world sees as something
positive, namely the things that make you more proud, isnt all that much more positive in the long run, if you believe in
eternity to follow in a spiritual world, and the carnal world of the flesh isnt all there is for you. So, its a faith-thing, whether
you can appreciate humility or not. (2014:148)

The chastisement the Word of God promises for His children should result in you becoming a better, more humble and
loving, less selfish person! (2014:149)

It may be a rough time youre going through, but it wont last forever. Make you a little humbler, perhaps, and a little more
ready for Heaven, but youre not the only one whos had to go through that, and focus on the positive sides of it all! (2015:49)

Itll help to be a bit more considerate of Me, My will for and viewpoint of you, and gives you some of that needed humility to
yield to Me.
Humility has become a rare treasure within human habits, having been taken over mainly by pride.
While pride may be one of the most common human habits and attitudes, you may agree by now that its definitely not one
of the good ones, but that it should be worked on to be gotten rid of.
Its a rough and tough life, when that trait the Enemys ruled by takes over the world and human nature, and unfortunately
its especially a weakness he tries to cast on My believers and followers
So, keep the vision for humility as a definite goal to attain in life! So much better than pride.
Improvement is definitely a necessity, and its good if you keep that in mind. And that means: be humble!
Youve got to be humble enough to know that youve got to change into a better behavior, instead of being a disadvantage.
Thats a humility that folks should cling to more: realizing that theyre all far from perfect!
Youre on a humbling path, and a track of humiliation, and you should keep your eye and focus on the fact that youre very
much in need of that spiritual item of value, even if largely underestimated by the majority of people. (2015:62)

If humility is a precious gift, then it might be more worth it to become a bit weaker, even in ones own knowledge and
strength of mind. So, if this fate draws you more into humility than self-confidence, it may take you some faith to see it as
something good that has happened to you, but that just shows how humility and faith fit together. Pride and self-
confidence may strengthen your faith in yourself and your own abilities, but youll find out in the long run that youll be
better off trusting in Me and your Creator than in yourself and your own abilities. (2015:66)

Be humble enough to show some appreciation and gratefulness for what you get!

520
Thats how humility and appreciation work together; whereas constant complaints instead are more likely representing
pride.
If youre humble, you can show some gratitude, and wont be too spoiled and unable to take life the way it comes and with
anything it has to give you. (2015:72)

Make it obvious that you believe and know that youre dependent on Me, which will also strengthen the humility as
opposed to the natural pride that evolves when folks manage to do it all in their own strength. (2015:73)

Some things happen to make and keep you more desperate, more humble, and clinging more to Me.
The current state of your life has pulled you down a lot lower than you had been before, where pride was still playing some
main role in you. But I hope that by now youve started to seriously learn what sort of enemys tool pride is, and that it
cant just be accepted or tolerated
So, embrace those humbling circumstances around you right now, and dont see them as much as a punishment, as they
are a valuable lesson to learn, and hopefully means to help you get rid of that enemy force of pride! Let life humble you!
Theres nothing wrong with it, even if most worldly folks might think and say so. You ought to know better by now. So, go
on and embrace that humility! Its much more common to what I am like, whereas pride reminds much more of the enemy.
So, whose side are you on? If on Mine, truly, then do all you can to stick to humility! (2015:81)

One big factor thats influenced by materialism or poverty is the humility/pride issue. Less value given to money and
material riches seems to generally yield more humility, and thus, greater spiritual riches and values. So, it certainly
yields something to pay less credit to financial values, and more to personal and characteristic values instead. (2015:89)

Be strong enough in faith and spirit, and weak enough in the flesh and pride! Remember, My church of called out ones is
My Bride. And brides full of their own strength and pride may not always be the best to pick (2015:91)

What draws you closer to Me, makes you more humble, more desperate, and feel more dependent on Me. (2015:95)

It may be a tough season for you right now, but learning to take it as well as you can is the best you can do!
So, take it! Be humble enough to learn to deal with it, and stop murmuring!
Just try to make it, yielding humbly to what I put before you to take and accept!
The stuff the enemy and his folks come up with needs more help from above, so, don't try to make it on your own, but ask
for that help! It's humbling, yes; but remember that humility is an important gift and treasure to help you make it with help
from above! (2015:98)

Learning to yield to the will of Those from Above is something thats necessary: humility, instead of pride and thinking you
know better. (2015:104)

The comparatively hard and tough times youre having to go through are supposed to help to get you into a more humble,
and thus, better state. (2015:112)

Your mistakes should least of all keep you humble!

Yes, youve made mistakes, and so, youre not perfect. And knowing that should at least keep you humble, and not self-
righteous. And its definitely better not to be proud, since thats one thing youd have in common with the enemy.
So, what youve done and accomplished in your life is keeping you humble so far, and youre not too proud anymore of
your accomplishments. That might draw you closer to those who cannot boast of any of those kinds of productions, but
for that just have a lot humbler attitude and quite a few more friends and folks regularly communicating with them.
So, if your current state of life is keeping you humble, see it as an advantage! On top of it, there are further humiliating and
humbling factors in your life, so, you must be noticing that your spirit helpers and I are definitely trying to get that pride
out of you and replace it with humility.
So, see all the negative things that have happened in your life to make you humbler as something not all that negative, but
also as positive in that aspect! If something shapes up your personality in that aspect of humility vs. pride, it cant just be
negative!
See, proud people trust in and depend more on their own capacities and abilities, whereas Ive been showing you, that in
order to make it through the times to come, you need to depend on Me instead of your own carnal abilities. So, dont see it
as a negative change to have become weaker and thus, humbler. (2015:113)

Part of the reasons for My allowing things around you to become harder for you is to make of your character and
personality more what its supposed to be: with more humility and less pride.
To rely on Me will beautify your character with humility, instead of hitting those around you with pride. Youll see, itll all
bring you more into the gear youre supposed to have reached when you come Here, since pride, Up in Heaven, is not
really a virtue, but known as what caused the enemy to come up with and bring all that evil into the world So, not really
wanted, but needed to be gotten rid of! (2015:118)

Choosing between self-reliance with pride and dependence on Me based on humility is pretty much what its all going to
boil down to. (2015:126)

521
Not putting yourself and your own desires first is the key to a truly happy life, and if you want to be truly happy, well, thats
the way to turn! Its tough? A little bit especially when theres pride still around to deal with and to overcome. But in the
long run, it would turn your life into something so much happier and more joyful: the happiness and joy found in bringing
it to others through Me. (2015:129)

Remember that to be humble is one of the requirements for those who serve and follow Me!
if youre aware of the fact that anything good accomplished through your service for Me will not require some amount of
glory on your behalf, itll definitely be an advantage in the long run, meaning Ill be able to continue using you and having
you accomplish and do things for Me and My Kingdom, and you wont have to be set back and humbled again.
Its not your own strength, nor your own abilities to see you through, but your dependence on the Power from Above! It
includes having to put Me in the first place in your life, and just remaining humble, and full of gratitude for anything I
manage to accomplish through you.
Its very different from the attitudes of the system whenever someone accomplishes something there, and they figure that
pride is what should follow the act accordingly. But just remember that that was the thing that got our present enemy
going in the wrong direction, and you certainly wont want to follow his path!
Remember the path that I took, which led Me to the cross, in order to die for all those who would believe in Me and receive
My Salvation! Its the only way youll be able to render that heavenly gift to others. Not seeking glory in the here and now
for you, but passing any of it on where youll feel it belongs, which shouldnt be yourself, but the One Who made it all
possible to begin with.
Its not that Im so keen on getting the glory, but since the enemys way of seeking and wanting glory for himself has
turned the world into such a mess, We just know that its not a good wavelength on which to be!
And since your present physical low state also seems to bring you much more into the realm of humility, lets say, youre
much more on the right way to join us on Our heavenly wavelength, where everyone has learned not to surrender to the
temptation of becoming proud, but passing on the glory, which is why praise of God is a really good thing to stick to,
instead of seeking glory for oneself!
So, even if your current state keeps you humble and being a bit more humbled each day, dont see it as anything negative,
but as a route that will lead you in the right direction! Be happy if you can get rid of pride! Youll at some time see it as the
most positive event having happened to you!
Theres gotta be a better way even if its a bit humbler. (2015:132)

Why all the suffering why all the punishment, you wonder? Eventually, youll find out the reason why Were allowing this,
and trust Me that its going to make sense to you by then or maybe youll find out beforehand what its all supposed to
be teaching you if you manage to be open enough to have your heart and mind accept such relatively tough lessons,
and youre not too proud to receive them.
Its a rough part of your life, I admit, and certainly requires some humility to bear with it all (2015:135)

Learn how to take that bit of punishment and chastisement, and let it humble you a little bit!
You may not know what has gotten you into this but well, just let it humble you! Other folks are and have been going
through much greater humiliation! (2015:139)

Therell be a time when believers wont be able to make it without help from Above, so, its time to get used to it, applying
for that need, and not lean so much on ones own capacities as in the past.
Humbling? Yes. But remember that as a good quality, not a bad one!
Showing a bit of humility when being corrected wouldnt be a wrong move.
Being a bit more humble about what you choose to utter may in every case be a wise move.
Being open for correction shows humility.
Show a bit more of humility that includes the readiness to be corrected!
Be a bit humbler to receive some correcting comments!
You have battles with a lot of things but you might just have to show some humility and live with that! (2015:146)

Lacking perfection yourself is what makes you a bit humbler and less self-righteous.
So, youre not perfect? Maybe that includes other advantages like being a bit more humble, less self-righteous and
proud of yourself. Is that a pro or a con?
So, if youre not managing to be perfect during your lifetime on earth, maybe its not all that bad.
Knowing youre a sinner still should largely keep you humbler!
Physical failures may make you humbler but contrary to worldly input, according to Us, thats a pro, not a con! (2015:161)

Sometimes the waves of accomplishment are whats causing pride in peoples souls. But remember, your own
accomplishment just isnt as important as learning to depend on Me and the Power from Above, so that youll make it
through the times to come, where survival of a miraculous kind will be necessary, not accomplishment of your own works.
So, its quite a drastic change in your life, and I can understand that its a little difficult for you right now, and humbling.
But remember, that its better than pride, to learn a bit of humility. (2015:163)

It certainly results in better fruits to be humble and peaceful! (2015:165)

522
Not craving for your own glory might already contribute to Mine instead! So, just dealing with the fact of being a bit
humbled, appearing less glorious to yourself, already sounds a bit more like, Rise and shine and give God the glory is
finally beginning to make sense somewhere.
So, another advantage of humility: bestowing some of the glory to Me and the Father, instead of oneself, and not seeking
it, either. So, humbling situations do have their assets and advantages Not easy to appreciate, but eventually? (2015:167)

Having to learn to do and live without applause isnt that easy, unless you realize how much you should be receiving and
embracing that humbling!
Life is rough and tough until youve learned to take things in humility. Not letting pride rise up again in you to try to fill
your ego up (2015:170)

Life on earth should help to appreciate whats expecting you in the other Dimension
Learning to handle whats going on down there should strengthen the humility and lessen the pride.
While you may have suffered a bit of a lack of humility down there, in that aspect youre at least doing better than the guy
who brought all that trouble to the world youre in right now
And, according to Us: he thats humble is wise. (2015:191)

The enemy got quite a number of folks into craving for their own glory and exaltation, instead of being humble enough to
give some to their Creator and Me, Who died for them.
Becoming humble enough not to crave any glory and exaltation for your accomplishments, but passing that honor all on to
Us, is a great advantage and spiritual surplus, as far as Were concerned.
Having learned that lesson of humility is a great advantage and surplus. (2015:194)

Accepting the role of a follower: More humbling perhaps, but you know how I advocate humility instead of pride, which is
the mindset of the enemy, and something to strive to stay away from as far as possible. And part of what leads to humility
is physical weakness and a lower condition that just puts you down a bit, into a weaker, and thus, humbler state.
Make sure your actions are ruled by humility, not pride! (2016:4)

A way to get humbler: admitting that you cant just get rid of certain weaknesses, and let them keep making you humbler
instead. (2016:10)

Being a little more critical of oneself might keep a little humbler.

Remember that the sin of pride must be based on a lie that youre better than you actually are. So, staying humble, and
thus, not so critical of others is definitely a character improvement. (2016:16)

Instead of letting the things that life brings make you angry, allow them to make you humbler and more compassionate,
remembering that others have to go through far worse sufferings! (2016:47)

A bit of humility and a humble attitude should help you overcome any tendency toward self-righteousness, which could pretty
much be entitled the most dangerous setback for believers. (2016:50)

The ultimate step of pride is accepting the attitude of one being their own god, while humility is what enables folks to
accept the fact that there is a higher One, Whos truly the Creator.
Now, that life can be tougher and less pleasant in a society where Evolution (Creation by itself) is being taught as scientific
fact, with people resulting as fruits of that attitude of pride, should be obvious, and another region where faith in Me is still
more common might just be easier to make it through Less pride, and more humility and love instead, including
hospitality, helpfulness and friendship In other words: spiritual and emotional warmth, instead of the cold you feel
around you elsewhere.
A lie that everything created itself easier to accept for those who receive the enemys wavelength of pride more than
Our truth of Love and humility - One of historys major lessons.
In other words, love and humility are fruits of the Truth from Above, while hatred and pride the results of the place below
founded by its creator and what the world is unfortunately going to accept the rulership of for some time to teach
mankind the ultimate lesson about good vs. evil, truth vs. lies, pride vs. humility, etc. (2016:53)

A more humbling condition youre in? Remember that humilitys one of My main goals for you to reach, and if that didnt
work with your carnal condition in its usual state, humility and overcoming pride was just something more important than
perfect physical well-being, and you simply have to trust Me for that. (2016:106)

Dont be too upset about the humbling factors Im having you go through! Just trust Me that theyll make you a more
pleasant person to have around! (2016:127)

Putting yourself below others is part of humility, whereas self-righteousness and criticism are part of pride.
Let your state of humility win its battle against pride!
How much did We have to weaken you, in order to get you humbler! How much more might We have to?
Putting others above you is part of that humility (2016:135)

523
Its the humble folks that have got it, Up Here! - Got what it takes to become the right sort of person, as far as Were
concerned. (2016:137)

That nasty temptation of just being your own boss is sort of what pride is, and what has been pretty much Lucifers main
weakness and cause to turn the other way.
Humility represents the refusal to rely on ones own abilities, which is basically what pride amounts to, and is what caused
Lucifers fall. (2016:143)

Remember the importance and significance of little things! And let it direct you toward the path and steps of humility, not
being so concerned about accomplishments, achievements and success
The humble approaches will produce greater hopes for survival. (2016:160)

If pride doesnt play a leading role in your life, you manage to cope with the humility of giving Someone Else the glory for
what will be accomplished down there through Our Power and Strength. (2016:161

Its better to have humbler expectations. One of the negative sides of pride: always expecting too much, figuring you
deserve it. The humbler side is content with less, doesnt expect or think it deserves more.
So, one of the wrong attitudes of proud people: to just expect too much. (2016:169)

Its a bit humbling when younger folks around you manage things more easily than you do but just let it humble you,
remembering that humility is a more precious gift in the long run than physical capacities! (2016:173)

Isnt giving others a chance to be right something that would make you humbler?
See, the humility of considering yourself a bigger mess than whatever you see around you might just become the key to
make you acceptable in your fellow-humans eyes. (2016:186)

Even if its humbling to appear as a weakling to those around you, remember that that humility is also a necessary and
positive part of what you need in order to know that its not you yourself that can save you, but the greater Force and
Power from Above the heavenly Power, based on Love, not physical abilities and strengths.
So, its a humbling process to have to rely on physically invisible Sources of Strength instead of your own physical
capabilities, but a necessary one; just as youll realize that humility is indeed a necessary quality to obtain since pride
will reveal itself as the root and source of all the trouble on Earth to begin with. (2016:193)

Obvious sins are prone to keep the sinners a bit humbler. Apart from that, it removes any notion of goodness, and thus,
obvious sinners are a bit humbler and less self-righteous. One of the reasons I chose some of the disciples I did.
Just remember: being a sinner ought to keep you humbler, and in less danger of becoming self-righteous the worst sin
of My enemies responsible for My death.
So, remember that, if it was self-righteousness of His enemies that slayed the Son of God, being kept humbler as an
obvious sinner might yet be safer! (2016:198)

Taking castigation in humility is a lesson for many to learn. (17:1)

Ungodly behavior should keep you in a humble enough position, attitude and state of mind to accept the input of others
around you, even if they might not have that connection with, or even faith in Me. (17:8)

It does take some submission and serious commitment to yield to a humbler and more resolved lifestyle.
Try to remember My lifestyle: not that of a nobleman, but except for some occasions Me and My disciples were invited by
wealthier folks, it was quite humble. So, get used to that humble life-style as a follower of Mine! (17:11)

Anything imperfect to deal with will lower your level of intolerance, self-righteousness and pride in the long run, and what
seemed like a much harder road to take might turn out to have made a more pleasant since humbler person out of you.
Not being able to do much simply wont leave you too proud of what youve done or accomplished. So, see it as a victory
from seeming defeat the victory of humility through the defeat of pride! Even if in a somewhat hard and painful way.
- Which might prove that humble folks just might be able to deal better with pain than their proud counterparts. (17:25)

Isnt it a great demonstration of humility, the lack of leaning on the capacities of the flesh?
So, let the weakness of your own, carnal abilities become your strengthening factor of the needed blessing of humility!
(17:36)

Having to yield to someone elses character helps to keep you humble. And humble as humbling, and thus, in human
ways negative as it may sound is a positive! Remember that!
So, see it as an advantage in the long run, whatever keeps you humble! (17:55)

To not complain about whatever happens, thats yieldedness.

The opposite is pride and thinking youd know better. And since thats a quality we already know from the enemy, who
brought all the evil into the world by thinking he knows better, take that as a lesson of what you wouldnt want to be like,
even though that temptation may be quite humanly common!
524
So, youve got the humility to accept whatever I and the Father allow to happen to you? (17:61)

Not making things on your own anymore is definitely a direction toward humility.
Knowledge - tuned the wrong way - and pride are definitely connected. Whereas humility is more connected to the gift of
trusting that the Lord simply knows best. (17:70)

Accepted lack of own knowledge and information is a sign of humility, which you should know by now We consider an
advantage, and more of a strength than a weakness, since it causes you to rely on Us more, instead of yourself.
Remember that the lower levels in the world are what requires and encourages humility, and that We definitely consider
that a virtue, compared to pride! (17:72)

Try to handle conflicts with humility as much as you can! (17:83)

If youre having a weakness you cant seem to get the victory over, maybe Im allowing it to keep you humbler and as far
away from self-righteousness as possible.
The harder you have to fight to get the victory over a besetting weakness, the humbler it should keep you, and the farther
away from self-righteousness. (17:85)

Dont stare at the weaknesses of others self-righteously, but exchange self-righteousness and impatience with a humbler
attitude, heart- and mind-setting! (17:91)

Accepting others faults is a sign of humility, as opposed to self-righteous pride. (17:126)

With as much of an NWO as pride has become for you through leaning on your abilities and talents well, just dont see it
as a negative to get humbled instead! (17:143)

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

Learning & Teaching

And they shall be all taught of God. John 6:45

No matter how much you think others may benefit from what you have to say, there is always more you can learn from
them, if youre just humble and patient enough to find out. (I:3)

As long as you learn from your mistakes, nothing is lost. (I:15)

Every second of every minute of every hour of every day a person dies, and yet it doesnt occur to the majority of them to
make any preparations for that event. Instead, they keep pursuing that which is Earthly, fleeting and timely, only to be
losing it all in the end and to stand before Me with empty hands. Be not like them, but learn of Me. (I:16)

Some battles are for the sole purpose of having you learn to rely wholly on Me nothing and no one else. To make you
realize that Im more than enough. (I:28)

Its important you take the time to be more thorough and investigate. Dont be superficial and rash. There are so many
factors you are not aware of yet. Becoming aware of whats happening, of what others are feeling and going through is the
opposite of leading introverted lives. It takes time. It takes more than a swift glance into someones direction and thinking
youve absorbed their situation in a glance and now youre fully equipped to answer a matter. You have so much to learn.
Concentrate on the truly essential, the learning of the spiritual lesson you were sent there to emphasize on: the
forgiveness of others wrongs against you, and the recognition and refusal to yield to the temptation of evil, recognizing
that the Power and Kingdom are truly Gods and not the usurpers. (I:54)

Im teaching you to think in a completely different and new way than the way you have been raised in before. (I:55)

Im teaching you a brand new modus operandi. Like Moses running away from a very hectic, active, stress-filled and busy
life in Egypt and coming to the wilderness to learn to do nothing but tend sheep for 40 years... I had to get Egypt out of him
first. Before youre going to get into your gear of operating in the flesh, Id rather have you do nothing but learn to hear
from Me, listen to Me, soak up Me, absorb Me, take time with Me, loving Me, begging Me, learning to let Me do things for
you and through you. (I:75)

Life is a School in which you are being tested, taught and prepared for greater purposes hereafter. (I:82)

When will they ever learn? Many are called, but few choose to learn from the lessons and experiences I bring into their
lives. Many simply prefer to heed the lies of the majority. (I:96)

There is yet much more for you to learn, so, open your ears and your hearts, and be diligent. Be ready for many new
exciting lessons, things to achieve, territories well explore, souls and worlds well conquer. (I:97)

Ask Me about the things that are going on in your life! There is so much to learn from all youre going through. (I:103)

Without the things you suffer you would never be able to learn the lessons I want you to learn. (I:107)

There is yet so much more to learn for all of you, and yet each of you has that innate tendency to think that you know
better. (I:111)

Dont 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 and accumulate information. Dont 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.
Thats when believing becomes seeing and faith becomes knowing. (I:117)

Go and learn what this means: mercy, not sacrifice. Take a little time to learn a lot about having mercy on others, for
blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy! (I:173)

The problem isnt really much more of a problem than what they would call a mathematical problem in school: Its a test
and an exercise, a lesson for you to learn, to make you smarter, wiser and a better shepherd, sample and fighter! So far,
the problems and enemies youve had to battle, were your own, but the next grade of this school is to learn to overcome
the enemies and problems others are battling with. You no longer just take care of yourself, your own little problems, but
youve become responsible to help others with theirs as well.
Dont be like those kids who consider school to be a drag, but consider it a privilege. The very situation youre in is
specially tailored for you and your needs, your NWOs and the very things you need to learn to grow and make progress.
526
All these things are happening for your sake and benefit, to make you stronger!
You should be very thankful for them, as without them there would be no lesson, no wonderfully challenging situation you
can learn so much from!
If you flunk the test, they might flunk the test. A lot of their progress depends on your progress; their sample is largely
dependent on yours. (I:174)

It doesnt really matter where or who or what you are, but what matters is that you learn this lesson. The desired results of
all Im doing in your life is you and 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 wont be shaken because you stand on Me, the firm foundation,
clings to Me, the Author and finisher, and is satisfied by Me, the great Filler of all things. (I:177)

Many apparently meaningless details and incidents start making sense once you start turning to Me. Its like turning a light
on in a dark room. Its like learning to read: all of a sudden those symbols start making sense.
Even if you cant see any sense in what Im allowing to happen, once you realize that all things come from My hand, itll
help you to acknowledge Me more and ignore Me less.
Certain things may be a signal from Me, a sign, Hi there! Remember Me?
Many apparently meaningless details and incidents start making sense once you start turning to Me. Its like turning a light
on in a dark room. Its like learning to read: all of a sudden those symbols start making sense.
If you want to grasp the meaning of every day and every moment of life, start learning to read My signs. A lot of things you
may not understand may be My handwriting on the wall, and if you seek Me and ask Me, I can reveal their meaning to you.
Its like learning to read computer programming language.
Come to Me for tutorship more often, and well teach you lessons on reading the secret script of the matrix of your life.
(I:192)

Making mistakes is part of the School of Life, but the goal is to learn to make less of them. (I:197)

If youre open, you can learn through anything and everything Im allowing to happen and bringing across your path.
Openness to My Spirit, My truth and My revolutionary new wind, is one of your greatest assets. Youre taking time to
absorb My Words and My lessons daily, My revelations, and there isnt in this world anything better you could do! (I:209)

You have to learn respect, even for the little ones and whatever they might have to say. Show respect toward them in the
way you answer them, once theyve told you whats on their hearts. (I:219)

Im not impatiently expecting My children to learn how to drive a truck when they only recently learned to ride a bike.
Youve got to trust in My patience, and also be patient with yourself. (I:227)

Learn all that you can from others. Hold your peace and learn your piece! (I:230)

Im working on the motivation of your hearts. I want you to learn to love and teach your kids, to witness to your fellowman
and to keep your house neat out of love for Me, because you know it pleases Me, and out of love for others. I want you to
open up. Im teaching you about the importance of communicating, understanding and sympathizing with others; Im
teaching you the importance of acquiring spiritual wealth above material wealth and making a living. (I:231)

One day, the subtle tricks of the Enemy, which he used to deceive millions to get them to abdicate, for a mess of pottage,
their highest calling of being their brothers keepers, of being teachers and shepherds of the flock, will be exposed and laid
open for the whole universe. The mess of pottage of some personal dream or desire in the end often only turned out a
decoy, a distraction of the Enemy, a compromise to settle for a quick, easy-to-see, easy-to-reach solution or satisfaction,
as opposed to the long and winding, thorny road of faith and patience.
For who would have thought that that child or that youngster could have turned into a brilliant mind, a shining light and
beacon to many under your influence and tutorship? Who could have suspected that they were wide-open treasure chests,
waiting to be filled with what you had to give them?
Im handing out a crown of great glory to those special few who had the vision, who were faithful, who led My little ones
and guided them by the hand, who had an unselfish love to pour their own lives into those young and brittle vessels, often
at the cost of giving up their own dreams and visions and goals they had for themselves.
Because they had the faith that those young ones could grow and rise above their own limits, that they could far exceed
whatever accomplishments their teachers might otherwise have achieved... Because they were unselfish enough to
esteem another, younger one higher and more important than themselves, therefore I say, Hail to the faithful teachers!
Glory and honor to them from everlasting to everlasting... to those who shared the know and shared the glow, who passed
on the knowledge of My truth in faithfulness and a humble anointing. How greatly shall those be honored by countless
millions... forever. (I:246)

Stay alert and keep your eyes open for those golden opportunities to touch someones life, to influence someone for the
good, which might bring eternal changes, to sow the seeds of My wisdom into their hearts to teach, being instant in
season and out of season... (I:247)

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
527
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, Im sorry, I didnt understand this. Do you think you could make it a little more clear or explain
what you were trying to say?
Whats 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 and comprehend different things, and 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 Im trying to
teach someone at this very moment in their lives! Or perhaps by what youve 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 and being your brothers and 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. (I:249)

The lessons you learn from your interactions and experiences with key people serve to make you willing to change into
what youre supposed to become. (I:266)

Its a rough and tough exam youre learning for: the hour which is to come upon the whole world to tempt them that dwell
on the Earth. (I:268)

You have really only just begun to learn, and the best attitude to have is to know that you know nothing.
How can you grow when you think youve already attained? I can only make nothings into something.
I can only fill the empty and void places, the lowly hearts. You need to have a vacuum; an empty space for Me to fill. If
theres already too much of something, too much of you; too much satisfaction... how can I fill it? (I:277)

A passive, fatalistic attitude makes people go around in circles without ever getting anywhere, ever learning but never
coming to knowledge, as one that beateth the air. (I:280)

Learning of Me, will accomplish a lot more than a thousand days running around in the wings.
Come, sit with Me, and learn of Me, and I will teach and show you how to truly accomplish! (I:306)

First of all you have to learn the lesson of love. Only love will make you strong enough to be a martyr or any kind of
witness for Me, both, now and in the future! Without love, it is nothing, it availeth nothing, you are nothing...
So, learn to love, for thats the most important thing! Be My love for others! When you share something you know, do it
with love! If its more of a manifestation of love not to say something you know, then learn to be silent! You must decrease,
your knowledge, your mind, your abilities; but My love in you must increase!
Lessons on combating familiarity and showing appreciation are all lessons of love. My first foundation stone of higher
heavenly education: love. (I:310)

"Fools laugh only in the sun", but a wiser man will have learned to find joy and laughter even in the rain.
There is still so much for you to learn, and this fact alone should keep you young and fresh and excited at heart.
School has just begun! Don't let the Devil fool you, like the fox and the cat in "Pinocchio" when they were telling him not to
go to school... (I:315)

To gain greater understanding: talk less, listen more; move real easy, quietly, smoothly, softly and slowly. You want to
acquire understanding? Heres the first requirement: silence!
Just keeping quiet, listening, not giving good advice, much less lecturing, youll be amazed at what youll learn. If you cant
keep quiet and listen long enough, they cant help but think youre not even interested enough in finding out about them
and trying to understand.
In order to understand, you must listen. And dont always answer right away whatever comes to your mind. Let it sink in.
Pray about what youve just heard. Learn from it. Take the time to deal with every point and every statement. Find out what
it means. Thats the way to learn and gain greater understanding! (I:330)

I want you to learn to give, not walk through life always wanting this, wanting that, wanting someone... (I:334)

Dont only listen to the words of their mouths, but try to hear the unspoken words of their hearts! Learn the secret
language of what they really mean to say. You can only learn this with the help of My Spirit, and only if youre seriously
interested, if you sincerely care and want to become a soul winner, if you love them and would like to see them in Heaven!
(I:367)

What else is life all about but learning to care for someone else, learning to help those who are weaker? (I:378)

One of your primary lessons is not to allow anyones weaker sample to motivate you to compromise, follow their sample
and let down your guard. (I:390)

Im trying to teach you not to let the devil stop you! (I:392)

528
I want you to learn that the most important thing is love. Love for Me, love for the lost, love for the brethren, and that it is
the spirit that quickeneth, the letter of the law killeth. (I:396)

Are you willing to lay down your own desires on the altar, in order to serve Me and further My Kingdom? The more you
learn this, the more you are willing to sacrifice your own desires, and the more you will learn to do this not grudgingly, but
willingly, and joyfully, the quicker you will learn what it truly means to be a humble and willing servant of Mine, and a true
and dedicated disciple. (I:399)

The lessons and things that you have learned by experiences in your life or by having tried and proven a certain truth, are
living treasures others can benefit from. (I:403)

The battles you're experiencing will enhance your love, your personality, your character, your understanding and ability to
deal and interact with your fellowman. Just like I learned a lot from My interactions with people during My time on Earth,
became a lot more understanding of their plight, much more patient and merciful, so will all this serve to teach you greater
love. (I:404)

Sometimes "bad" things aren't all that bad after all, especially not from My point of view, and when weighed against all the
lessons learned and wisdom gained out of them, which drive people closer into My arms. (I:442)

I'm a very patient Teacher, especially with those who want to learn, even if they sometimes tend to think they're smarter
than the Teacher Himself. (I:447)

Some encounters, acquaintances and even relationships in life are tests and lessons and learning experiences.
Those who will look to man will always fail sooner or later, because they will always discover flaws that will make them
stumble, if they look to man. Only those who look to Me will make it. Only those who can see My hand in it all, even in spite
of the failings of those who perhaps should know better, will make it. (I:464)

Life is the best school, and I am its Teacher. (I:483)

Watch Me a while and 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:485)

I'm teaching you to pay more attention to the details, to fine-tune your operations, plans and proceedings.
View life as an expedition with many things to observe and study, with tons of details to glean and learn from! (I:494)

That's still the most important thing you've got to learn: to let Me operate through you. (I:496)

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 and sequels of all you've learned in the days before today, but yet there's a feeling and nuance
of newness and strangeness to it all. (I:525)

This is the inevitable road of humanity: that of having to learn from and with each other. (I:556)

If you're determined to learn from Me, I am determined to teach you.

Make something better out of what you've got by learning from Me! (II:1)

You're learning, and that's one thing the enemy can't stop. That's progress he cannot hinder, because even if you suffer
many blows, you will grow stronger and wiser with each one, and ultimately, he's just going to hang himself by fighting
you. (II:69)

My course isn't all theory, but an essential part of it is learning to put the things you study into practice with witnessing,
getting out My Word. (II:81)

I have ordained you to be teachers of the world, but you yourselves are also still learning, and if you think the time has
arrived when there's nothing for you to learn anymore, no more mistakes to improve or correct, then you're just about to
make the biggest mistake of all! You will become nothing but another blind guide of the blind. (II:108)

You've got to learn to see things through My eyes, perceive them with My mind and catch My heavenly vision for them!
(II:114)

All the lessons learned together, on honesty and openness, communicating, overcoming selfishness and laziness,
jealousy, and helping others to overcome their weaknesses, it all serves to make you into one beautiful, gorgeous bride,
one body, in which every member loves the other with an immense, deep and undying love. (II:119)

Being thankful for what you've got is an important lesson; to learn to be "content in whatsoever state" you're in. (II:125)

529
I have taught you a necessary lesson the long and hard way, because the long and hard way is the most effective and
lasting way that really drives a point home, not easily forgotten. Everything that's worth something costs something, and if
you want a valuable lesson that's going to last, you're going to have to be willing to pay something for it... a bit of pain, a
bit of agony, and some desperation. But it will have been worth it. (II:129)

The whole lesson of life is that spirit is superior to flesh, even though it may not look like it initially.
And another very fundamental lesson in life is for man to learn that My righteousness exceeds his own by far, even though
it may also not always look like it, and even if I attach many hard tests, which will make people question whether I really
am righteous or know what I'm doing. (II:138)

Sometimes you've just got to forget everything you've learned in order to find the truth for the moment! You've got to
forget those circumstances which framed your condition that formed your view of things, in other words, just smash the
whole picture (icon=idol) of your perception of things and let Me make it over completely!
I don't just convey all there is to know in a class at the beginning of it, I want learning to be an experience for you, not just
a lecture or sudden flash of knowledge.
If I determine that the best place for someone to learn their lessons is a jail, or a sickbed, or a country that's not as fruitful
as others, or whatever, then you just have to trust that I know best that this was indeed the perfect place for you, even
though your choice or preference might have been a different one. (II:161)

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. (II:170)

You're meant to reach out to those around you, your fellowman, loving your neighbor as yourself by helping them to find
the same blessings and answers you have found in Me.
I have simply opened up your eyes a little sooner and have allowed you to find and see the truth before them, in hopes that
you would be faithful to pass it on to them, even though they might not seem as interested, but they need it desperately,
just the same.
I can use anything! Focus on what I'm trying to convey to you and teach you and impart to you through everything you
experience! There is a lesson in everything! (II:171)

What is being associated with the word "teacher" nowadays, is a teacher without the Holy Spirit: a dead exchange of
lifeless information, no life, no spunk, no enlightenment, because there's no light! A blind guide of the blind.
They're the guardians of the ignorance the devil wants to bathe his captives in. Whereas I want you, as a teacher of My
wisdom and knowledge, to impart life-giving, liberating truths, not the impoverishing, blinding lies of the System, destined
to hide true knowledge from the people!
They bury the truth, you resuscitate it! You will have to undo a lot of the devil's work they are doing in countless children's
lives! (II:178)

Everybody makes mistakes. The question is, how much do you learn from them? You should view them as opportunities to
learn from. Some of the most precious lessons you learn are those which you learn from your own mistakes.
Of course, that takes humility. It's tough on one's pride to take the blame and face the consequences of their own actions,
and to deal with what it is you have done wrong in order to bring certain conditions about. It's always easier to blame the
other party for it. But that's not the way you learn.
In order to truly understand some things, one has to be willing and able to see them from an objective angle, not only from
one's own subjective point of view. No matter how convinced anybody may be of that they're right and that they're the one
being wronged, there's always another point of view, another aspect and angle to look at it.
When it comes down to it, the main gist of the problem with humanity - or the problems humans have amongst each other -
lies with the fact that everybody is much too interested in their own opinion and point of view than to attentively listen to
that of another. They're not really open enough to see the other side...
For most people it simply takes an effort too great than they're willing to make, to really listen to and absorb the other,
different perspective than their own, and that's quite sad.
It's impossible to really get the point and learn the lesson if you can't see Me in it.
There's lots more to learn about love! (II:212)

It's part of the great lesson in life: to seek Me. (II:224)

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 and 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. Absorb and study it and let it become part of your being. (II:230)

There's more to learn. This doesn't mean we discard the previous classes and lessons and acquired skills altogether, we
just focus more on other things for a change, to learn additional, new things. (II:231)

I want you to learn a few lessons along the line of appreciating My blessings, My supply, of being faithful stewards over the
little I have given you, before I supply more, of being content with such things that ye have, lessons of moderation, not
taking things for granted, gratefulness, and of giving Me the glory for it all. (II:237)
530
I'm teaching you many things through the various circumstances of your life, and like any teacher, I am pleased when My
students show interest and take note of the lessons, instead of just letting them pass them by.
I'm teaching you about the futility of so-called "security" in the world by people having lost everything over a few days of
excessive rain, no insurance ever meeting a fraction of their need caused by the calamity.
I'm teaching you about the worldly crooks who try to make money of others' need for love and companionship and exploit
their loneliness and longing for love by the incident with that online flirt service.
I'm teaching you that all things are possible to Me, contrary to the thinking of man, by the way I had your wisdom tooth
come out properly, in spite of the lack of space and the pressure and pain it caused you.
I'm teaching you many things about your fellow men through situations arising with folks you come across, teaching you
to discern their personality types, not in order for you to put them in boxes, but to show you the variety and wonders of
human nature, just as other people would study the variety of species in nature...
I'm teaching you to be a parent with conviction, not to take the (apparently) easier way to let your kids get away with things
you cannot approve of, of letting them have their will against your better knowledge...
I'm teaching you to trust in Me for your providence, not in your own arm of the flesh, by putting you in a situation where
you run risk of losing more by obtaining more.
I'm also teaching you that there is no general blue-print of do's and don'ts, but that everybody has to find out what is good
for their own, particular situation, contrary to the urge to give in to peer pressure, and do like the others do, just because
they do it.
Sometimes I also teach you that something you've been looking for feverishly has already been in your possession, but
you just didn't see it yet. (II:244)

You're not supposed to find total perfection and sinlessness in an instant! Not until the School of Life is over. So keep
learning, keep tuning in, keep paying attention and trying to do your best, knowing that it's Me Who's going to have to do it
through you, that you can't make it without Me...
I just want you to learn to be your best by letting Me, to be the strongest you can be by using My strength, to learn the best
and be the humblest and most loving by simply absorbing Me, learning of Me, breathing Me in and just letting Me do it in
you. (II:251)

Life is a gift, and I want you to enjoy it. More than being a test, it's a gift for you to enjoy. Your idea and mental projection of
this school of life was too much resembling the picture of a System school. But My School is really a lot more fun, a lot
more loving, a lot more personal.
Hanging out with Me, Your Teacher, is really something that's going to help your life to become easier and more beautiful.
My school isn't supposed to make you worry or fret, "Oh my God; what if I'm going to fail this test... what if I'm going to fail
the teacher? That's not Me, that's not how My school works. It's more like, "Hey, let Me show you something; let Me help
you! I can show you a whole lot of things that can make this whole thing called life a lot easier for you!" (II:260)

The most important lesson I want you to learn is that you've got to have the right Source of Strength empowering you, the
right motivations behind you, and the right groove.
There's nothing wrong with you wanting to do more for Me, but I want to teach you how to do it properly.
Without Me ye can do nothing. This one verse is the gist, the crux and the point of it all, the one thing I want you to learn. (II:261)

The art of loving is a many-colored and multi-faceted world in itself, enough to keep you busy learning forever. Don't freak
out or panic when something happens you think you can't handle. Rejoice over this new challenge.
Be ready for anything at any time, to take it with a grin.
The main point and lesson, when you're faced with a trial, a burden, any challenge, is: are you going to give it back to Me,
or what are you going to do? If you have three options: a) hand it to Me, b) freak out and despair, or c) to try to tackle it in
your own strength, which option do you think is the right one? Next time you're faced with anything that might frighten or
stress you, just remember the abc of success and overcoming. The right answer is always a): hand it to Me!
All those things are to teach you to hand it to Me, to involve Me, to "pray without ceasing." (II:265)

It was expedient that you learned this lesson on one of the most dangerous tricks of the devil, and one he uses most
frequently and most successfully with My people: that of getting them to lean on that which My Spirit has brought forth,
rather than the Spirit itself! To rely on the arm, strength and wisdom of the new creature I made out of you, leaning on your
anointing, thus creating another "old man" that needs to be shed, let go and forsaken again. (II:273)

You must allow My Words to really sink into your hearts. That's from where the fruit of learning comes. Wisdom is so much
more a matter of the heart than the mind. You've got to let Me plant My seeds into your heart, and you must absorb them
with all your heart, not just acknowledge them with your mind. You've simply got to take the time for those seeds to really
sink in. Learning is something that just can't be done in a hurry.
There is so much to learn, but it doesn't all fit into your mind. You've got to make room for it in your heart. Don't seek to
absorb it with your head. Let it sink in deep inside of you! (II:285)

The devil fights to make you forget all that you're learning from Me, and it's a little bit like having to start all over again
from scratch every morning.
You have to re-learn afresh every day just how much I love you, how much I need you to come to Me and how much you
need Me and to spend that time with Me. (II:293)
531
You learn as you teach.
Sharing things with others makes them more real.
If the spiritually rich and satisfied don't want to hear, then go and find new potential vessels and channels. After I found
out where the learned and elders were at, the Scribes and Pharisees, I went out to seek a few unlearned men to educate
them in the Father's ways from scratch.
Find those who don't have an attitude of, "I'm not searching anymore; I've already got it!"
Even if you have found the truth, you should always stay hungry for more. (II:327)

Be able to learn something valuable from practically anyone you meet, to believe in others, that I made them for a purpose,
and that you can learn something from that person. (II:343)

The School of Life can be a drag sometimes. But it teaches you some really important and essential stuff that you can't
learn in Heaven. (II:363)

There are so many details and lessons you miss out on if you just rush through life in a "let me have it all," consumer-type
of attitude. You want to enjoy all there is to enjoy, eat your cake and have it, too, but the most precious lessons and things
gleaned from this life don't come from seeking to receive, but from learning to give.
It's one thing to serve when you're forced to, but it's another thing to really learn to serve voluntarily from the heart,
because you choose to. That is an important lesson to pass on to others, especially your children, because if they only
learn to serve because they have to, then they will always seek a way out of servitude as soon as they can. You must instill
in them a desire to serve, to give, to be of service to others voluntarily, out of love.
Its nearly impossible to do in the flesh, which is why you need the help of My Spirit. It helps to have a convicting sample
of someone faithfully serving that convicts others and motivates them to think and feel, "I should be like that, too."
Teaching somebody to serve out of love really requires love, and giving and living a loving sample yourself, first. (II:371)

I'm teaching you how to love, the most important and biggest lesson in life. I want you to learn love from Me. From the way
I love you, you can learn how to love others. (II:465)

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?"
Often it's not so much in what you do as in what you learn.
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. (II:499)

Right now, the great lesson is called, "Where it ain't at!" "The way which seemeth right unto a man and the end thereof are
the ways of death." By showing you which is the wrong way, by letting you experience it first hand, I'm also showing you
the right way, which way you need to go to overcome, to rise above, to succeed: you just need to turn around, and instead
of following all those other misleading voices, you just come to Me and follow Mine! (II:505)

Sometimes, in order to really learn, you must forget all you think you know.
As long as you're eager to learn ever more from Me, chances are that you're really going to learn something. It's only when
you think you already know it all that you stagnate, get stuck and lose it. Be open for the new, My radical and revolutionary
new input, My surprises! (II:534)

I'm trying to teach you the art of just being yourself in whatever situation. It's not necessary to pretend to be someone
else, to put on an act, a show, a mask.
I'm keeping you apart so that you can learn to be yourself. (II:536)

You have to learn patience - patience with the flesh; patience with yourself.
You will come across types (of people) who will be able to benefit from the things you're learning and experiencing right
now.
You must trust that what I am teaching you will be appreciated and needed and welcomed in due time. Don't become angry,
impatient or upset with Me or your circumstances, or yourself. Learn to gratefully embrace life as it comes.
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.
Trust that I will bring forth beauty from ashes, life from death, joy from suffering. (II:548)

You can learn things out of the past, if you've got your spiritual eyes open, that you never could have learned otherwise. If
it weren't so, what would be the purpose in reading those old Bible stories, or in watching movies about people who lived
in the past, or finding out about folks who lived and died hundreds of years ago?
So, if I can even cause you to learn from the things that are behind, how much more would I like you to learn from the
things - and especially the people - on your left and right? (II:580)

You can get more out of the here and now, there's more potential in the present than you've been making use of. You've
got to not only look further, but you've also got to look deeper. There's more to see, both, in the far distance, and right
532
before you, in the small, intricate little things of everyday life. There's more to discover in the distance and at home.
There's more directions in which to look than one.
Learning to see means not just to look in one direction. The enemy is quick to show you temptations and distraction on
many sides, or things to criticize and belittle in various directions. So, I'm teaching you to see good things everywhere,
new things, or the new side of things, which you might not have been able to see previously. I'm trying to teach you to see
My way, and not be stuck in the enemy's rut and negative way of looking at things. (II:599)

I can only do so much teaching through words. Words are like the theory, but the most effective training is the practical
training, that which you experience in daily life, and your fellowmen are your trainers and fellow-trainees, your coaches,
and sometimes also your pupils and students who need to be coached by you.
I like to be efficient and catch various birds in one shot, and so I have ordained for all of you to be both, each other's
teachers and pupils. The problem is that most folks are much more willing to teach others and have them hear what
they've got to say, than to listen and learn from others.
It's hard when they don't want to hear - like children who don't want to listen and obey. It gives you a glimpse of what I'm
having to deal with, and it makes you appreciate it all the more when you finally do find someone willing to listen. (II:601)

The essence of My whole teaching is to love others instead of living in a life-long quarrel or even at war with them...
I have given no one a perfect blue print of the truth, but leave it up to everyone to discover it with My help throughout their
lives. (II:614)

Learn how to see everything through My eyes, to perceive everything with My sense of awareness, perceiving Me in
everything, and thus, along with it, My angle of perception! (II:622)

I can use anything or anyone to teach you. Lessons are all around you, if you're just attentive enough to listen. (II:623)

Learn to give thanks to the One Who giveth all things, and that all things in this life come from My hands, sometimes as
blessings in disguise, as lessons to learn from, as mountains and goals to tackle; that life isn't just one joyride, but it's
much more like a school, and certain blessings don't precede obedience!
Learn to delight in Me, so that I can give you the desires of your heart!
Learn that happiness can be yours right here and now, through Me! (II:624)

The best attitude to have and the best role for you to assume is not so much that of the teacher who knows it all, but of a
humble co-learner. There are definitely a lot of things for you to learn, and it's not so much that you are the teacher here,
but more like My principal student. There is nothing that will inspire others to learn the lessons from life, like the sample of
someone doing so: a fellow student who shows his peers and younger brothers all the things he discovers on their way.
Not in the way of some old know-it-all, but someone young at heart, and fresh, like them, only just discovering those
mysteries and secrets of life, happy and eager to share them with those on your path, as they unfold.
Being a spiritual man means always staying a simple child at heart, an eternal pupil and learner. It's those who think they
know something, who don't really know anything at all; those who think they already see are the ones who are blind. But
as long as you go through life desperately wanting to learn and see and discover what life's all about, that's what I would
consider spiritual.
As long as there's still room in your life for improvement, as long as your life isn't perfect yet, you should always be openly
welcoming change and that wonderful opportunity to learn how to do things differently than in the past, to see things from
a totally new angle, and just let each day be a new learning experience, a new episode, almost like the beginning of a
whole new life.
Don't get stuck in any old mindsets, even if you "already have the truth." Good for you! But what is the truth that I want to
teach you today? What is the lesson, the metanoia, the revelation for this day? (II:625)

Seeing Me in someone in spite of their flaws is a big lesson I'm trying to teach you. If you're not willing to put up with or
confront their flaws, how are you ever going to die for them, if you can't even stand to live with them? (II:631)

The lesson is more important and valuable than the temporary, fleeting pleasure.
My ambition for you lies in the eternal: what can we take along thats for keeps, the value of which will last into eternity?
The pleasurable moments are only good for memories that will be shadowed by any tiny moment in Eternity; merely a
drop, compared to the ocean. But the lessons are something not only you, but untold others after you will benefit from for
ages beyond this one. And the lessons usually come out of the less than pleasant experiences...
Lessons come from battles, from confrontations, from sufferings and trials, often brought about by your own human
weaknesses and frailties, the very things you often try so hard to avoid. That which you think is going to be to your
disadvantage, that which you would call a demerit or a minus point, those are actually often the plus points for Me.
Those seeming defeats make you dig down deep in the dirt, like a man digging a well, and they prime the pump that makes
the heavenly water flow. - Heavenly water to refresh generations to come.
There is so much to learn out of all the open books of life - of lives Ive written, things which at this time many are not able
to grasp, but they will unfold, and one day it will all be so clear, and learning wont be a boring chore, as it may be for many
today, but its going to be one endless thrill. (II:636)

See the opportunity, not just the obstacle.

Its life, and the hardships it brings, that write these kind of lessons in your hearts... (II:639)
533
Taking The Blame, dealing with the beam in your own eye (a matter of seeing clearly) and being humble enough to face
your own errors and say the hardest words in any language, I was wrong is hard and painful, but the only way some
lessons really stick and hit home. Otherwise, theyre often forgotten too easily, or only briefly grasped with the mind, and
not deeply absorbed by the heart life-changing.
The easier way wouldnt have nearly the same impact. In order to drive a certain point home, there has to be a vivid
illustration of the point. (II:640)

When I was on Earth, I didnt spend My whole time just ministering, but actually 90% of the time I spent watching,
observing, learning.
your purpose is not only to teach, but also to learn, to observe, sometimes to just silently witness and do what you can to
influence things for the better. When the final crunch comes, only I will be able to save the world, and although Im
including all of you, My brides, in this, it is I Whose purpose it was to destroy the works of the devil (1.Jn.3:8).
So, sometimes you just have to stand back and see Me fight and learn of Me, look unto Me, listen to Me, receive from Me,
absorb Me. Only when youve absorbed Me rightly, can you also convey Me rightly. Its not like you know everything there
is to know in one day and then jump out on the streets and pass it on, but you need to become a vessel yourself, you live
and you learn.
Im not putting you in charge of saving the whole world, I just want you to do whatever you can to help Me do it! And Im
very grateful for all the help I can get. Dont get so preoccupied with teaching that you lose sight of all there is to learn.
You can learn from Me, the Master Artist, by observation; by quietly watching and studying the method of the Master
Teacher. (II:647)

Everything youre learning must be put into practice in order to move you forward! (II:655)

Experience is the best teacher. (III:5)

It's never too late for love, to start to truly love, to learn all over how to truly love, to take on a new approach of love... (III:8)

I want you to love the people you're going to come across with a special love from Me.
Love them for Me. Love them with a love that's from Me!
Be My messenger boy for them and let them know and see and feel My love for them! Just pass it on! (III:10)

Loving like a Savior, Who even prays for His enemies on the very cross upon which they nailed Him Do you want to have
that much love?
Your attitude can be, "I will accept and receive you, even if you reject me. I will always love you anyway!" That's the kind of
love the world needs. Forgiving, unconditional love! (III:14)

There's always more to learn, even from people you would have not expected that they might have anything to offer you. It
pays to go through life attentively, with both eyes and ears open, and not get too stuck in your dogmas. (III:15)

Allow some room for disasters, for head-shaking events, stupidities and atrocities to learn from.
The true learners will always - in the end - learn the lessons that were there to learn out of all of this, and they will be there
to teach the world what really happened...
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. (III:16)

You're not only the students, but the teachers of future generations, just like the other Bible patriarchs have been learners
in their times, but have long since become teachers of untold millions.
Don't ever think that you have it all figured out!
You're never going to quit learning about love.
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. (III:18)

There's no way you're going to be able to drill love and kindness into human heads by force or discipline. The only thing
that will teach them love is love.
Strive to be the best sample of love you can possibly be, for that's the only thing that will come close to the desired result
of people learning to have more love for each other.
Do the best you can to teach them to be loving by your own sample of never giving up on loving them in the first place, by
just totally giving up your life to love... (III:20)

Sometimes you can do no other but let folks go their own way, but it's always better if they know that you still love them no
matter what, just as I love you and them, too, no matter what. (III:21)

You can't expect people to be perfect, nor anywhere near perfect, nor should you hinge your love on them living up to your
expectations. You don't manage to fulfill anybody else's unrealistic expectations, either.
Is your love strong and unconditional enough to show them that they're more important to you than whatever you were
doing?
534
What could be more important than love, more important than showing love? (III:26)

There are still so many things to show, so many aspects to share from My heavenly point of view, to learn to see the
spiritual causes behind things.
There's more progress to make in your learning to become like Me.
Remember that it's you I'm training, and you I'm teaching, that you are the one who's supposed to learn something out of
this! (III:50)

I give to every person lessons and challenges in life that are according to their talent and personality type, and what I know
they can handle.
Since I know what you can handle, it's alright for you to go through this lesson. (III:51)

"Pride cometh before a fall." Hopefully, you will just be able to get back up again, wipe off the dirt, bandage up the wounds
and keep walking, and hopefully everyone involved will learn their lesson and recognize the impostor next time he'll come
in another camouflage. (III:65)

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.
You ought to learn to rejoice in adverse circumstances, knowing that they serve My purpose of bringing out the very best
possible in you.
I'm teaching you through all this to remain stable in spite of anything. (III:74)

Where the process of learning from others sets in, voil, you will have stumbled upon one of the major purposes and
meanings of life.
The meaning behind the differences that exist between people is part of the meaning of life: to behold the difference of the
other and learn from it, absorb it, register it, test it, prove it, and if it turns out to be any good, perhaps assimilate it, or at
least accept and tolerate it. (III:81)

The "beginner's mind..." - the prerequisite for all learning. The more you know, the more you know you don't know. If
people only had a clue how little they know. If you can face each new day with the innocent ignorance of a child, a hunger
to learn, a desire to still that lack of knowledge, then you're able to learn a lot faster than those who think they already
know everything and have to be re-educated first. There's so much you all have to un-learn!
Forget what you think you know, and realize how little you really know, and how much there is yet to learn! How can you
learn when you think you already know it all?
If you realize you've all got so much to learn together and from each other and with each other, then it's not one person
acting as the "master" over the others, but each one just humbly shares what they're learning as you go...
Let Me teach you! As you continue learning from Me, absorbing the words from My mouth, you will at last truly learn. (III:86)

If you trust that what I teach you is good and you just take what I give you at a time, you will see that it will all make perfect
sense eventually, and take you to a happiness and enlightenment you would not have deemed possible before.
Like Adam, you walk through this savage garden, surrounded by all the animals, some of which are so much bigger and
taller and stronger than you, equipped with greater survival skills, but you don't find your mate among them. But suddenly
you wake up one day and find next to you one just like you to accompany you through this life's journey, to love and be
loved by, to share with and learn with and from, as well as to teach, or simply to sit at My feet together and learn from Me.
Everyday is a little bit like the first day, when understanding and clearly seeing and hearing first began... It's not as if
everything you learned previously is all there, right away, but you have to re-activate that knowledge, that conscience, re-
establish your tie of love and trust with Me... (III:98)

In My School, the higher up you are, the more dependent on Me you become, the closer you are connected with Me, and
the closer our communication will be. (III:104)

Life isn't going to get boring, because there is yet so much to learn, so much further to go... (III:113)

Although you have found the truth, your life isn't perfect yet, and it's not as if you'll never have to learn another thing from
someone else.
It's give and take. You teach and you learn, even from people who may seem to have much less to give than what you've
got. If you're humble enough to be in a receiving and learning position in relation to anyone you come across, you'll find
life in general a much greater success, when you come to the end of the road, than if you go through it constantly pushing
your own thing on others. (III:132)

Everybody wants to be popular with the younger generation, but it's only those who don't care too much about popularity
who are going to be able to teach them anything.
The most dangerous threat to genuine learning is the illusion that you're right, and that there's nothing to change about
your views and attitudes. (III:137)

Your mistakes are an important part of the meaning and purpose of your lives, since they are what you learn the most
from. (III:143)
535
Keep the "beginner's mind," always aware of the fact that there's so much more to learn than what you think you know
already! (III:164)

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.
Just look at Me, the Teacher beyond the immediate challenge of the situation. (III:166)

If you think there's nothing left for you to learn, then you won't have very much to teach others. (III:167)

Losses and gains are only numbers and statistics, and they may have their place of importance to some extent. But what's
really valuable to Me is the lessons and the experiences they bear, like some deep imprint of life's wisdom on your soul,
that gives your life the real beauty and value.
Loss is gain if you look at it trough My eyes: it will be the gain of new opportunities, greater trust and confidence in Me, the
lasting Factor in your life; greater dependence on Me, greater wisdom, greater treasures of experiences and lessons
learned; the true values of life. (III:196)

Sometimes I draw your attention to a needed change or improvement by showing you something better than what you
have; a need to learn from someone else who has gone further than you. It's a way I use to spur you on to growth and
progress.
It's convicting when you find someone who's more serious about it all than you are, who puts more into it, who's more
yielded and dedicated and thus brings forth more fruit. It's easy when others are giving less or seem to be somewhat
weaker. But when you find someone who is stronger and ahead of you, and more dedicated than you are, then initially it
may make you feel a bit small in comparison.
You just have that urge to get there, and in doing so, you show that it can be done.
Having found someone who has even achieved to climb higher than you did should give you new incentive to keep
climbing.
The goal is not yet attained. You may have previously figured that you got as high as you wanted to go or were able to, and
you were happy with the height you reached, but now I'm showing you, "there's more." (III:220)

The lessons of the suffering that mankind is going through because of their wrong choices, will be there forever.
My Kingdom will be run by those who will have learned to make the right choices, and that should make quite a difference.
Once the story is told, there will be lessons learned from it that will lead to a much happier sequel and continuation of the
story. (III:243)

What really matters is not your physical position, but your place at My feet, where you can learn from Me and from those
prophets which were before you that which is essential to give and pass on to those who will be ready to receive you and
your message and whatever you will have to give, especially when the troubles which are to come and must come will
come. (III:250)

One of the principal and most outstanding and pre-eminent lessons of life is not to look at man. (III:264)

It's all about learning the futility of the ways of man, compared to the ways of God.
Youre learning how vain and futile the carnal efforts of man are, and how his way, brought to perfection, will only result in
the ways of death.
You've had to realize just how much man's ways oppose God's way. You've had to learn that God's way up is down. You've
had to make all these, what you might call negative experiences, in order to glean wisdom from them.
You've had to go down that road and taste from your own experiences, the hurt of your falls, just where it is that man's way
is leading, and how much better God's way is, in comparison. There would have been no easier way to really drive this
point home in a lasting and effective way.
You can watch a movie and read a book and learn a lesson from it. But nothing is quite the same as personal experience,
when it comes to learning. You can only glean so much from watching others and learning from their experience. What will
stick with you forever is your own experiences, your own pains and hurts and consequences of your own poor choices
and mistakes... (III:269)

By taking the humble seat and refusing to put yourself above anyone, but respecting their way of dealing with things, you
can sometimes learn a lot more, and wind up with a few surprises here and there. (III:278)

If you walk through life with the humble attitude that you can learn something from anyone, and anything they've got to
say, from any child or person, you'll find you'll develop a lot more patience with your fellowmen. (III:284)

Focus on what you can do for others in order to help them to move along and make headway in the School of Life or just
make it through today's battles. (III:288)

Parents have to learn how to get onto the level of their kids. Most of the time they're trying to get them up to theirs, and
teach them the things they know, but being a good parent goes both ways: you're not only teaching your child, but you're
learning from him also.
And that's how it is with evangelizing, witnessing and preaching the Gospel to every creature, too: as you teach them the
Gospel, you're first inevitably going to have to learn about their customs, their language, and you're going to have to learn
about them in order to be able to successfully shepherd them and give them what they need.
It takes time and trust to tune into such seemingly insignificant matters as a child's world, or the world of a new convert.
Youre not just supposed to be teaching them, but that you're also supposed to learn from them.
If it would have been for the conservative hardliners of the Jerusalem Early Church, it would probably still be a
requirement for Christians to be circumcised and only eat kosher food. It took further learning from Me, as well as from the
needs of thousands of new church members who were not Jews, to find out what the real requirements were.
You can only learn and find out what your children need, by "stooping" to their level, so to speak, and finding out what
occupies their world.
When I came to the world, I didn't come exclusively as its Teacher. I also learned through the things which I suffered
(Heb.5:8). Part of what made Me a good Teacher was being a good learner also. You have to be able to absorb what's going
on around you.
Most of the things I learned from mankind were far from the way I knew things were supposed to be.
But in learning about the problem, I also learned more about what the solution was going to be. (III:329)

Whatever lesson I try to teach you always brings home the point better when there's a real life experience attached with it.
Show Me what you've learned and picked up from Me! Show Me who is the greatest among you and can be the servant of
all! (III:335)

I'll show you all the moves and tricks, but you've got to do the learning. (III:350)

If there is a School of Life, and Im its Teacher, what the devil came up with in order to distract people from the school and
the meaning of life, was his counterfeit school, the compulsory public school system.
Hes trying to make sure that people and young people in particular wont get the chance to tune in to the real School
of Life, by keeping them busily stuffing their heads with the counterfeit knowledge concocted in his public school system.
The school system simply wont click with a lot of people, who, like you did, instinctively feel that its not doing them any
good, not teaching them anything truly valuable.
Tell them about the cool alternative! Tell them about the School of Life! Tell them about Me, the Master Teacher, Who can
really teach them stuff thats worthwhile, 100% relevant to real life.
If the school system is the enemys counterpart to My real School of Life, then you have to cope with the fact that every
hour your child is spending in school, shes being soaked with something other than what I would teach her, if she were
exclusively under My tutorship. (III:387)

Its time for everyone to tune in and learn whats there to be learned, and to apply what has been learned. (III:405)

Those somewhat ugly, somewhat sad lessons in life are those of greatest teaching value. (III:410)

Life is constructed in such a way that its bound to happen that you slip and fall and mistakes, so that precious lessons
can be learned from it. But its pretty important that you do learn the lessons, and not just keep falling into the same trap
and repeating the same old mistakes over and over again. (III:438)

I can show and teach you a lot of things, as soon as you know what it is you want and need to learn or that theres a
need for you to learn at all!
You can either drift through life passively, or you can have goals before you that you want to reach, things you want to
learn and accomplish, fruits to take with you along your journey Home.
Do you still have a vacuum and a hunger to acquire more of what Ive got to share with you? Or are you satisfied, like
those who figure there is so much they know already, there couldnt possibly be anything they might be able to learn from
anyone else?
The best teachers are those who remain perpetual students. They stay open. They dont close up. Theres a spirit of give
and take, not just an outpouring from a stagnant reservoir that doesnt allow any fresh water in!
Once youve learned a new lesson from Me in theory, youve 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. (III:461)

Learning to communicate with Me is going to be so extremely vital and expedient for your survival in the near future, that I
cant let up on you and let you enjoy a carefree life. The lesson has got to be learned, theres no way around it!
I need to use extreme measures to teach you this ultimate and supreme lesson. Only this way youre going to be able to do
well in all the other lessons as well. You can only learn how to love others properly if you first love Me by tuning into Me
sufficiently for Me to show you how to love them!
The ultimate lesson is to have Me in the first place in your life. (III:468)

537
The ultimate lesson: learning to get your eyes off of circumstances, including the pain that other humans inflict on you and
to direct your focus and all your hopes on Me instead.
Learning to communicate with Me is going to be so extremely vital and expedient for your survival in the near future, that I
cant let up on you and let you enjoy a carefree life. The lesson has got to be learned, theres no way around it!

When you stay tuned to My Spirit and you stay on My wavelength, life will inevitably reveal itself to you as an ongoing
series of lessons and new confirmations and reminders of those lessons in order to make sure that you really learn them,
too.
Im a Teacher Who dedicates extra time and special attention to each of My students, tuning in to their personal progress,
and always making an effort to give them just what they need.
Of course, you must stay tuned, keep paying attention to what Im trying to tell, show and teach you.
I present My students with a real life problem, and I challenge them to find a solution in teamwork with Me and their class
mates, and youve come up with some wonderful stuff which might potentially help others in similar future situations.
You can definitely tell youre making progress when the lessons youve learned are improving your life-style, your sample,
your witness and testimony, and your fruitfulness for Me.
My school of life is certainly relevant to your daily life, and it isnt just all theory or useless facts you wont ever need in
real life, which is one of the great laments about the current public school system.
My curriculum is actually based on real life, and Real Life is one of My favorite subjects I like to teach on!
I teach you the maths as you need it, and the arithmetic as you go, and the writing skills as you employ them. (III:475)

Learning isnt just about acquiring knowledge. Its living the experience youre growing through, feeling it, absorbing it and
letting it transform you.
Sometimes it doesnt feel like youre gaining or winning anything new at all, but rather as if youre losing something, and
its true: youve got to get rid of some excess weight that will just hinder your growth and slow your progress down. Part of
learning is to discern what things to hold on to and what things to let go, and before the end of the day I hope youll have
found out that the amount of things to let go far exceeds the amount of those you should hang on to.
One of the major factors in all that youre learning is to trust in My doing, more than your own. I will always have to do the
major part in order for anything to work, and if Im not in it, then it usually wont happen. (III:487)

Learning isnt just about acquiring knowledge. Its living the experience youre growing through, feeling it, absorbing it and
letting it transform you.
Part of learning is to discern what things to hold on to and what things to let go, and before the end of the day I hope youll
have found out that the amount of things to let go far exceeds the amount of those you should hang on to. Letting go is
really what its all about in this life. Letting go, instead of clinging to things you wont be able to keep anyway.
One of the major factors in all that youre learning is to trust in My doing more than your own. I will always have to do the
major part in order for anything to work, and if Im not in it, then it usually wont happen. (III:488)

Theres lots more to learn and more room for improvement. The worst thing to do is to assume the position of one who
thinks he has arrived. Thats the moment you stop growing and making progress and thus start to backslide.
As long as youre learning, receiving new things from Me and feel as if there are lots of new things for you to find out and
yet for you to accomplish, and you keep an empty attitude of one who has yet much more to learn than what he already
knows, theres hope.
For some reason I must have brought this person into your life, and that means that youre going to learn some essential
lessons from your interaction with them. (III:492)

Its a pretty lonely job, being Father to so many distracted children, off on Pleasure Island, having fun and letting the devil
turn them into jack-asses
Thats why its of utter importance to Me that there are at least some who are aware of the enemys scheme and wont allow
themselves to fall for it, but make others aware of whats going on, too
I want them to attend the school of life and pay attention to what Im trying to teach them. But the devil whisks them all off
to Pleasure Island, keeping them busy, busy, busy with his amusements, away from thinking or putting them through his
fake imitation school, where they pretend to teach them things and fill their heads with enough clutter so that there wont
possibly be any space left for whats essential. (III:495)

Follow Me, the Great Teacher, step by step, to find out what Im trying to teach you out of every single circumstance and
situation of your life, especially the unpleasant ones. (III:496)

Everybody has got their own individual mountains to climb, their own hurdles to overcome, and they cant go endlessly by
how someone else did it.
It can help for starters, to learn from others, but there will come a point when they need to realize that the way to do it is to
get Me to show them, help them, and do it through and for them, when necessary. (III:500)

Every day is a fresh learning experience.

538
The knowledge I hand out to you comes in daily portions, and each day is like a learning unit or a class. Thats why
journals are extremely helpful in retrieving the things you learn on a daily basis, and one day you will be able to recall and
summon a particular lesson from any particular day or experience youve had in life.
If you teach others from mistakes you made, that shows them just how human you are, and how much just like them, and
that youre not some super special case, endowed with extraordinary gifts from on high, but that youve learned by trial
and error, basically the same way they have.
Youve come to conclusions, and human conclusions are in some ways more helpful in teaching others than divine
revelations.
Its the difference between one who teaches what he has learned from books and one who teaches what he has learned
from experience. Youve been there, and you can tell of the pitfalls to avoid, and of the things to watch out for.
It doesnt always seem as though there were an awful lot of people even interested in gleaning such deep lessons out of
life, but youve got to trust that even if theres only going to be one, it will have been worth it. (III:505)

Learning to take each other where youre at is part of this School of Life, and that also includes learning to take yourself
where youre at, assessing where you stand, coping with it, and doing your fellowmen the favor of loving and accepting
them just like youre inevitably going to have to do it with yourself, if you want to live a happy life. (III:510)

Say you are some kind of a prisoner in the situation youre in. Would you know what youre doing time for? Do you know
why youre there? Are you aware of the mistakes you made, the crimes or sins you have committed, the hurt you have
caused others? Do you think the disciplinary measures might possibly be justified?
Thats basically how it is in life: you encounter unpleasant circumstances, and you consider them unjustified, as if you
deserved better than that. But do you, really? If you believe in My love and justice, cant you also believe and assume that
the circumstances I am allowing to befall you are the precise set that you deserve and need in order to deal with your
mistakes and learn something from them?
The wrong attitude to have would be not seeing your sin and guilt and thus not being able to learn anything out of life and
lifes circumstances.
So, youre having to deal with a set of unpleasant circumstances. What are they trying to teach you? (III:511)

You have to deal with your mistakes and learn all there is to learn from them. Its not like there is no forgiveness, no
reconciliation, but its also important that you bear the full consequences of your actions and become aware of them.
You cannot play hooky in the school of life.
There are a lot of mistakes made that people could learn from, a lot of lessons to be learned out of life, and out of history,
but thats not what theyre interested in or concerned about. Theyre not concerned about avoiding the same mistakes over
and over again.
Thats why people never learn anything from history; not their own, and much less anyone elses: theyre not interested.
All they care about is whats there to consume right here and now, to hell with any potential repercussions and
consequences. (III:524)

Everybody has hard times and trials and sufferings in My service, but they dont always swallow the depth of all that there
is to learn from them. Not everyone is willing to really face the ugly truths about themselves that have brought their fate
upon them.
Some even refuse to recognize the calamities that befall them as such. They insist that everythings okay. And in an
optimistic sort of way, theyre right. Everything is going to be alright, so by faith they can say that everythings alright
already.
Unfortunately, things have got to turn worse before they really get significantly better, and refusing to see the signs of the
times, even their manifestations in ones own life and family, isnt always conducive to really learning the lessons behind
whats going on (III:533)

To learn the skills of love is more important than any other skill you can learn.
Theres no way around learning how to love, if you want to consider yourself My disciple and make any kind of headway
and progress for Me and My Cause at all.
You cant stop advancing at it. Its simply something youve got to learn.
I want you to learn something out of a situation. I want you to eat it, chew on it, and not spit it out until youve fully tasted
the lesson and experience, because its essential for My training and molding you into what you are supposed to be. (III:557)

Peoples unwillingness and incapability to cope with the truth is something youre going to have to learn more about, deal
with, and find ways to bring the truth home to people, even if thats the one thing they reject.
Sometimes I choose what could be deemed an unfruitful situation for someone, because the lessons to be gleaned from it
are more important to Me than any fruit that could be gained in another situation, or by changing it. (III:565)

Peacemakers usually dont insist on being the ones who know it all, but can also hear the other side out and be open
enough to learn from anyone, leader or not.
Leaders are often the ones who have most to learn ( after all, theyre the ones who have been leading this world into the
mess that it is ) but then they hardly ever take time for that, unless, of course, another, even higher leader above them
summons them to some kind of workshop or seminary, and tells them now its time for them to learn something
Leaders are often unfortunately those who seem to have come to the conclusion that there is nothing left to learn, or they
stopped learning, sometimes simply because theyre too busy teaching and instructing everyone else.
539
They see things from their point of view. Coming over to see the other, lower side of the elephant is something that would
require a big change in their thinking, when they figure its their job to change everyone elses way of thinking to come and
see their side. (III:572)

The devil just cant stand to see people living together in peace and harmony, so he constantly cooks up new devices and
means of destroying that harmony.
Of course, what he doesnt see, is that he provides ample opportunity for you to learn from all this by doing so. Even if
people never get the lesson or the point during their life-time, and frankly, most dont, they will learn their lesson someday,
and I will still get the better deal out of it, and the best laugh. (III:580)

Im teaching you personally through the school of life and your experiences, all that you have to go through, your trials
and lessons these are all ways in which I communicate and interact with you.
They complete another piece in the puzzle of the deeper meaning of everything. (III:585)

Some of the most precious lessons learned come from deep, dark experiences and avoiding those simply equals the
foregoing of that wisdom otherwise gained. (III:589)

Every person you meet is a world of lessons in itself, lessons you can only learn if youre interested enough to find out
and ask Me to teach them to you and reveal to you those things about them that you dont know. (III:592)

If you honestly and humbly admit that you still have lots to learn, youll get further than by the method of appointing
yourself to the only position of the teacher, and everyone else as the students.
See yourselves as fellow-students, each in a position of give and take, and with everyone involved able to both teach
and learn something. (III:601)

The children of disobedience (See Eph.2:2) will be sad history, available for all future generations, as a painful lesson to learn
from.
Folks can tend to become impatient with Me and say, When will You finally put an end to all this? But its supposed to be
a lesson for all of eternity, so weve got to make it have an impact, and not just some short little lesson that people are
going to be prone to forget.
Lets say, Were trying to make this Lesson unforgettable. (III:605)

In My School, there is no graduating with bad grades!

Im going to have to prolong this class, this lesson, for as long as it takes for you to get it. I cant let you graduate without
really actually having made it and passed the test. (IV:6)

Youre supposed to learn as you go, and lessons learned slowly have a tendency to stick longer and be absorbed better.
(IV:13)

Im a lover of details. Im the Great Teacher, and I love it when My pupils do their homework and thoroughly. (IV:19)

Experience will be their best teacher, even as it has been yours.

After all, isnt that what life is all about, and what you really learn the gist of lifes lessons from? Not from lectures or from
books, sermons or talks, but from experience. That is the language that really writes those lessons of life deep into your
heart. (IV:20)

Youre just going to have to trust Me that I have a plan and a lesson to teach you out of it all this. If its something thats
giving you trials and a hard time, something to give you a reason to pray about and hear from Me about, rejoice: it means
theres something for you to learn and something to grow by, something to help you love better and become a better and
truer follower of Mine.
Just trust Me that one day youll be very thankful for the lessons in your life theyre teaching you right now! (IV:26)

You either learn from life what youre supposed to learn, or you dont, and it takes whatever it takes to drive home the
necessary lessons, whether youre ever able to see the wisdom in the measures Im taking in order to ensure you do, or
not.
Whats in My interest is what youre really going to take home from all of this, what really sticks with you, what you really
learn from it.
Somewhere there must be something that is still left to be dealt with, some problem to tackle, some weakness to face.
The School of Life isnt over yet. (IV:35)

Experience will be their best teacher, even as it has been yours.

After all, isnt that what life is all about, and what you really learn the gist of lifes lessons from? Not from lectures or from
books, sermons or talks, but from experience. That is the language that really writes those lessons of life deep into your
heart. (IV:43)

When love truly becomes the essence of what spills over from your life into that of others, then youll have learned the
lessons I want you to learn and youll have made the progress I want you to make. (IV:45)
540
I never run out of things to teach you. Compared to all that is yet to learn, you havent even begun, so I certainly wouldnt
want you to get the impression that this was it, that the show is over with nothing left to learn, or that youve learned all
there is to know. (IV:72)

There is something new to learn out of every situation.

The unexamined life is not worth living, Socrates said, and in many ways he was right. It takes a deeper look at
everything, including the degree to which you live up to your own responsibilities, in order to really get out of life all that it
is supposed to teach you. Sooner or later each life will be examined and what will have been gained will be summarized, so
its only reasonable and recommendable to begin that process during your life-time, and before the final exam. (IV:93)

Only I can really teach you how to do it. Will you let Me?
Will you finally pay enough attention to Me in order to show you how this really works?
Youve been trying to rattle around with all the levers and knobs of the machinery of love without really having a clue how
it works, so, should I finally give you a hand and show you how it works properly?
Theres something you learn in the silence, in that void and lack of all the usual noise and clamor that you dont learn
anywhere else, but its the only thing ever worth learning, ever worth keeping going at.
Let Me teach you and show you how it goes. Lets see what a difference it will make in your life to receive a few lessons
from the Master Himself.
As long as you think you can already do it, what need is there for you to learn anything according to your perception?
Well, now that youre realizing that youre not quite as good at this thing called love as you thought, let Me teach you a few
things about it! (IV:118)

The School of Life is about finding out who will be the smart guys who wont fall into the same old traps over and over
again. Who are the ones who will wake up to the fact that this is not where its at and the way things are supposed to be,
and will start looking for an alternative and a way out (IV:119)

Theres always more to learn, so theres always more and something new for Me to teach you, although eventually in your
life the emphasis will shift from learning to teaching others. (IV:142)

If you put on a students attitude, ready to learn something new from the situation you encounter, then you can be ready
for new lessons, and thus an expansion of your previous scope, and thus the scope of your wisdom and experience will
grow.
It all depends whether you encounter the situation in a yielded, ready and open and child-like spirit, or with a wise-guy
attitude, which makes you critical of anything new and different you encounter The former will make you grow and
progress, the latter will make you stagnate and shrink your horizon and scope into a sad little world in your head that
simply wont allow any growth or newness, constantly limited by whatever bounds you seek to impose on your little
universe.
In the first scenario, you truly let Me be God and show you just how vast the universe I created really is. In the second, you
insist on being your own god, limiting your own, personal little universe to all the limitations and boundaries you allow,
thus narrowing your horizon and your capacity to grow and expand to a fraction of the world that I could show you.
Thats basically what is happening in most peoples minds nowadays, and why intolerance and discrimination are rampant.
Everybody thinks theyre smart enough to judge who is okay and who isnt, and if, according to their judgment, a certain
group or kind of people is not okay, they will discriminate against them, persecute them, attack them or wipe them out
altogether.
They insist on playing god themselves, instead of allowing Me to be their God and broaden their scenario and teach them
about the different kind. (IV:143)

Theres so much to learn in life, and the greatest tragedy of the times is that folks arent really paying attention to whats
there to learn. Their heads are being stuffed with useless information by the enemy, and accordingly, theyre totally
missing the point and flunking the School of Life. (IV:171)

I usually like for My followers to learn from their own experiences.

I allow every type of experience just at the point in time when I think youre ready for it and when there are actual chances
that youre going to pass the test and its not too obviously predictable that youre going to flunk it.
Ive always let you experience what you needed to in order to learn the lessons you had to learn about this world and all it
promises and where its really at.
Experience is a better teacher than anything I could tell you in advance. You have to find out for yourself. (IV:174)

Life is a school, which if youre an attentive pupil will teach you that it certainly pays to trust and believe in Me, no
matter how ridiculous the devil may make that notion appear by all his artistically and artificially concocted appearances of
fake realities and truths such as the theory of evolution. (IV:199)

For those who want to know everything, tell them to cheer up: Nothing is hidden that shall not be revealed. Thats a
Promise that all of you really curious folks can look forward to being fulfilled by Me.

541
On a personal and individual level, it happens to some extent at the moment of a persons death. Theyre finding out a lot
of things about their lives that they didnt see during their life-times, and theyre being shown the gist of the hidden
meaning of things in their own personal lives for starters.
And the learning continues and goes on and on from there.
What good would Judgment day be if there was nothing to be learned from all that has been done wrong throughout
history, including the hidden sins and crimes and deceptions that went on behind the scenes that never came out? (IV:243)

One of the secrets of being a teacher is remaining a student yourself.

When you quit learning, quit soaking up new input from Me, quit growing and making progress in some aspect, you also
quit having anything worth passing on to others.
Youve got to have a learning experience while youre teaching, making it a two-way street, a dialog, not just a one-sided
story, which is exactly what I do with you.
If I, being all-knowing, am still learning, then this is an example everyone should follow whos interested in following in My
footsteps.
Learning never ends.
Its not just about acquiring and accumulating additional information. Its a process of acknowledging the other, absorbing
and assimilating them a little more each time you communicate Its relationship. - All contributing to the huge, slow
process of eventual universal integration and all of Creation becoming one. (IV:277)

If you want to please Me as your Teacher by the way you show what youve learned from Me, then its pretty hard to make
Me happy with the sort of development where not much progress has been made over quite some amount of time in the
area of faith, and it should give you reason for concern and make you seek to make an effort to change in that area. (IV:279)

Nobodys perfect.
Who says anyone has to be or is going to be in this life? Thats not whats expected of you. In this imperfect world, under
the imperfect circumstances man has brought upon himself by allowing the serpent to rule over it, all that is expected of
anyone is to make the best out of the mess you find yourselves in the best you know how, and learn something from the
process.
Call it The School of Imperfection to teach a lasting lesson for a perfect eternity, one that will hopefully make each man,
woman, child and angel remember to appreciate what they will have there and then (IV:297)

Im the Teacher. I determine the schedule. Whether you learn anything is up to you, but I call the shots and say when the
lessons are over and when its time to start another one
Likewise, it is also I Who chose the ingredients and factors and players in the lesson. I choose who and whats best for
you and your particular need.
Life is a school. Life may not make an awful lot of sense sometimes, just like some of the kids in schools nowadays are
wondering about what sense the stuff theyre being taught there is supposed to make, but if you just keep in mind that its
a school, and that youre primarily supposed to learn something, then it doesnt really matter so much anymore whether
youre successful or popular or not, how much you have or dont have, whether youre a winner or a loser all that counts
is, are you learning something? (IV:311)

Go and make the best of what youve learned and all youre learning yet! Show yourself to be a good, diligent and
thorough student of life, and become a master of the most important art there is to learn in it: love. (IV:328)

Loss is simply one of those attached lessons of life that everyone has got to deal with sooner or later, and better sooner
than later
And Ive got to make sure that the lesson is being absorbed properly. (IV:335)

The world is bigger, and theres a lot more to it than the parts you have gotten to know so far
Its all about people and peoples, their different customs, cultures and realities
The more of the Big Picture you can absorb into your little picture, the closer it will be to the complete picture. Of course,
its impossible for anyone to get the whole picture during their lifetime, but at least you would want to make an effort to
learn as much as possible. (IV:344)

Lessons learned from mistakes and the experience of the deep, dark trying times they often result in, are one of the most
precious harvests and treasures I gather from your life. And its not as if they were for My advantage, really, since they are
principally to yours.
You are the student and the pupil who has to do the learning and is thus gaining something he didnt have before, and
while the teacher may derive some satisfaction from having taught his class successfully and efficiently, it is basically the
student who benefits mostly from it, even if the students may not always be aware of having been rendered a service.
Most students complain about all they have to learn, etc., and it seems like an unpleasant chore to them, and they usually
dont think or speak very fondly of their teacher, similar to the way you dont seem to be fond of My having brought this
difficult lesson upon you.
But thats where the student simply has to trust the teacher that he knows best what part of the curriculum is due, and
which lesson is on the schedule, and which will be most conducive to the students progress.
While before I had you attend an entirely different school than most of the folks around you, the new approach and attitude
in life I would like you to take on and try out is that of attending the same school as they are what you would refer to as
542
the world, the same School of Life, basically, with the one difference that you always have Me along by your side as
your invisible private and personal Tutor. Along with much of what youve already learned from Me in the past.
So far, because of your exclusive position and attitude, not much of what you learned was really benefiting many other
people. But by forcing you to come on down, walk on the ground not only with Me, but also your fellow humans, youre
now in a better position to share with them what youve learned and found, as well as perhaps learn another few lessons
from and with them! (IV:352)

Youre like a student whos only interested in that the class is finally over and you can go run outside and play again, but
naturally Im more interested in your learning the lesson
Its as if youre waiting for the lesson to be over so that you can keep going right where you left off and continue the same
way, but thats not the purpose of this lesson. The purpose of this lesson and measure is to change things; things in your
attitude, your behavior, in you!
I avail Myself of your fellow humans to teach you lessons that you would never learn from all the theory and friendly, wise
counsel in the world.
The pain other humans inflict on you unfortunately is a much more effective teacher than anything I could ever tell you in a
life-time.
Anything I tell you may only go in one ear and come out at the other, unless I emphasize the lesson by a living sample of
something you can relate to, some emotional amplification method of the lesson and point and message Im trying to
convey to you. (IV:360)

A large part of the School of Life and the life of faith is how well you take those tests of suffering: whether you will develop
a resentful attitude toward Me over them and hold a grudge against Me for the things Im allowing in your life, or you
decide and choose to take them gracefully. (IV:363)

You have to trust that once the lesson is fully consumed, there will also be relief again; but it must be fully consumed, and
I cannot relieve you prematurely before it is finished. (IV:366)

If life is a school, you also have to be prepared for a series of tests in it, and part of the tests in the School of Life consists
in finding out how well you take change, even drastic change, and how it affects your faith. (IV:367)

The good and fun times, well, theyre just that: good and fun times.
But when the heat is on and youre going through trials and troubles and tribulations in life, thats when you really learn
something.
The fun times are like idle gear, zero progress and advance. Theyre good for your recreation process and to give you an
incentive to keep attending lifes school, but the lessons themselves, and what youre learning from them, that is what Im
interested in. You may have your focus on the recess and the breaks. Mine is on your progress as a student.
So, what is really required here? That I revamp and readjust My entire schooling and teaching system to suit it more to
your preferences, or that you simply change your views about the purpose of school in general and see the lessons as the
important and substantial part, not the fun and the games during recess?
I like you to have fun. But the lessons are whats important about the school of life, not the fun breaks.
I really wish I could make it easier for you, but learning is simply only done this way, by attending lifes lessons. Yes, there
are a few things you learn during the games, too, but the essential stuff that really matters is only learned by the type of
attention you pay when things get quiet enough and you really pause to think about the meaning of all this.
The only way to never make any mistakes is to skip school altogether and simply occupy yourself with doing what they tell
you to do in Kindergarten, in order to keep your basic needs met: You just follow the instruction of your overseers and put
the pegs into the corresponding holes without ever learning much else.
Theres no use comparing yourself to those who are not even attending school, but are basically stuck in Kindergarten,
spiritually.
Sure, they may be having more fun, since their curriculum is a lot more fun and play oriented. But you are a high school
attendant, so to speak, and must accordingly expect to be confronted with different material, and cannot expect to be
playing the same games as they, or to be taught in the same, playful manner.
Youre learning in order to some day be teaching others.
They might never teach another student in their lives, but of you it is expected to reach that level where someday you will
be able to instruct others just as you already have and you will want to instruct them well.
Life itself will choose you as a teacher, if you will have proven to have learned its lessons well, and the students
themselves will come flocking to you eventually when theyll get wind of the fact that you know something they dont.
But only the badges of honor of having passed the grades will get you there. So, you might as well stop complaining about
all this apparent lack of purpose in the hardships of the school of life. Theres a higher goal and purpose here than just
playing games and having fun. That was pre-school and Kindergarten business. Now its time for the real thing, and the
real hard core lessons of life!
So, the important thing is not even what roles you play in those acts you sometimes play in school, nor the degree to
which you impress your fellow students. That may be part and one facet of your education, but not the main part.
The most important question is, how much actual, genuine knowledge can you pass on, about whats actually going on in
the school of life?
How much can you actually pass on that is going to make a difference and help others make the grade?

543
How much of real, actual value are you able to pass on? And is what you learned and claim to know confirmed by your
acts, behavior and an example of maturity, accordingly? Or are you behaving just as foolishly as all the rest of the kids out
in the yard, pushing and shoving each other at the me first game?
How much does your life prove and show that youve actually learned?
Is all that still motivates and spurs you on the fulfillment of your own personal needs? And if so, how far do you think that
would go as credentials in My School of Life?
Or can you prove and show by your mature and unselfish actions that youve attained some higher level of education than
your former Kindergarten peers? (IV:379)

Youre learning, and that is, after all, the purpose of any school such as life. In other words, youre fulfilling the purpose of
it all. The purpose isnt even necessarily finding happiness in the here and now, because for those who do learn lifes
lessons, happiness will be awaiting them forever after.
But the lessons do include taking the less than favorable circumstances life hands you with an attitude of faith.
In school, youre asked to solve problems. In lifes school, evil is the problem, and youre supposed to solve it.
One good place to start is asking the Teacher for help, which I gladly do.
I dont mind helping you nor being asked to help, because that is one of the means I made available to you to solve the
problem: My help. And the dumbest thing most folks do is to ignore that decisive factor.
So, you are learning. Thats the good news. The question is, are you getting the point, also? Are you ever going to come to
the end of this lesson and finish this course so you can move on to the next one?
Well, the good news is, eventually, everyone does, since if you dont happen to learn the lesson during this lifetime -
further opportunities are provided in the hereafter.
Then again, being counted among the overcomers means being one of those who bear the badge of having made the
grade and absorbed the lesson. (IV:382)

As long as you take the lesson to heart, and try your best not to repeat the same mistakes, and there is some progress,
youre gaining that which counts, namely wisdom and experience, and thus it should be bringing forth the fruit of better
acts and wiser behavior in the future as well. (IV:386)

Part of the School of Life entails those physical necessities of learning to care for the things I have entrusted you with.
(IV:396)

You know what I think about mistakes: Nothing in the world will ever teach you faster how to do it better or what to look
out for next time.
Life is all about finding out what you (and all of mankind per se) did wrong, and learning from it how to do better... (IV:404)

One of the biggest lessons to get out of life is that visible and tangible doesnt necessarily always equal reliable. (IV:411)

Whenever theres a taste of paradise, the serpent will not be far away in order to try to spoil it. But that sort of lesson is
what makes life interesting and makes it the school it is, and what makes it exciting
As long as youre still able to change your views, attitudes and priorities it shows that youre absorbing the lessons life is
handing you, and that I, the Teacher, am not wasting My time on you (IV:421)

I want you to carefully make your choice, and in the meantime learn a lot of lessons and grow stronger through your
experiences.
It is a special time of learning special lessons an opportunity to focus clearly, and assess what's going on in your life.
Of course, not all of it is necessarily positive. But the lessons you gain from it will be, and the experience, the extra
spiritual strength you'll gain from it. (IV:447)

As your Teacher, what I would like you to learn most of all, is to love like Me, and that is, endlessly, unconditionally, with
ever enduring mercy and forgiveness, and the kind of love that casts a veil over a multitude of sins. (IV:455)

Life is an as-you-go learning experience, since the practice has proven to be a so much more effective teacher than mere
theory.
I like to teach you most of all by the things that you experience, and basically, thats what life is all about, not just
theoretical head stuffing and accumulating knowledge in theory, but finding out. (IV:458)

I want you to learn to become more like Me, I want you to learn patience and the ability to love folks the way they are.
A teacher is there to improve the knowledge and perception of his students, to help them to do things better, in order for
them to be better equipped to meet the challenges in life, which also means correcting those things that arent quite
perfect yet always keeping in mind that in the process you might have a lot to learn yourself along those same lines.
(IV:491)

Youre having to learn to avail yourself of My Love, comfort, Presence and Help! (IV:525)

 What Jesus Had 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 youre doing, a person is always more important in My eyes than any
bedroom slipper project youre working on for Me. (I:6)

If you would only know how loved you are! If you had only a glimpse of My love for you! (I:21)

The fruit of the Spirit is Love. Against such there is no law. Proclaim this love. Let it be your beacon, your torch, your halo,
your ever accompanying glow that shows people theres something special about you: your love for Me!
Love your neighbor by letting them participate of your love for Me, by not wasting their time with profanities, but by
blessing them with showers of light when you open your mouth! (I:28)

Stand tall like a man for Me and for those who need My Love, My unadulterated, unselfish, sharing, sacrificial and humble
Love from you! (I:31)

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 and constantly unconditional. Permanent. Everlasting. Eternal. Like a rock that can never be
moved. Like a mountain. Like streams that never run dry. (I:41)

Prove that you are My disciple by showing love.

How can you say you love Me, whom you have not seen, if you cant even love one you have seen?
Stop expecting more of others than you are able to yourself and be more generous with your love and affection. Look
beyond that which bothers you.
If you cant love, all the knowledge of My Word in the world isnt going to make a difference! (I:44)

I am the Source of love, and I have unlimited capacities to give and thus, you do, too. Just come to Me to get it and pass it
on.
If you decide to love, no matter what, youll do just fine. The answer lies in simplicity.
Love must be the theme of your life! For then theyll 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!
Itll fall like scales from a lot of peoples 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 and get out there and obey this greatest, yes, this single most important of
all My commandments, the better! Go and obey this one rule of Mine and 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 whats done in love will count and stay. Love today! (I:47)

If you live in Me, act, move and breathe in Me, listen to My Voice and follow My instructions, you will wind up emitting that
love I want them to see through you, and you will be the tools and 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. (I:55)

Dont hide your inner heart, your core, your essence from Me, for you are already fully known, accepted and loved
unconditionally by Me. (I:58)

Try to see with the eyes of love! (I:59)

Ask Me to constantly open your eyes and make you aware of opportunities to share My love! (I:64)

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 and most wicked days of
man will have withstood all opposition to declare and 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.
545
My day shall come as a thief in the night.
Blessed will those be whom Ill find lifting up the standard of love in their lives, deeds and 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 and My voice in you, so, be My standard bearers, My heralds, proclaim My standard of love! (I:68)

Strait is the way and narrow is the gate which leadeth unto life and few there be that find the way of unselfish love.
Dont be cold and cruel and normal, but warm and loving, caring and sharing, even if the whole world will call you crazy.
(I:69)

Learn from Me to be longsuffering. Love suffereth long and is kind. Be longsuffering and kind! (I:71)

Love is telling the truth, even if it hurts. (I:83)

Look for somebody to love! If you look for someone to love, youll always find something wonderful to do! If you can live
according to this task and convey it to others, so much good could be done. Go out unto the highways and hedges and
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 and look for someone to love! Look for someone to help, to cheer up, to encourage, to pray for, to
witness to. If all your actions would revolve around this simple theme, youd 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. Youre not bound by time,
tide nor space, you can just close your eyes anywhere you are and 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 dont 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 and 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 youre
trapped by the hopelessness and discouragement of this world, break out into My Spirit and know that I can use you
wherever you are to love someone else. Love that knows no boundaries. (I:86)

The world is like a lost lover Ive got to find, and youve 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 Im waiting right here with open arms... Love them for Me, will
you? Pray for a love for the sheep, like a good shepherd who cares for the flock, feeds the sheep, prays for the lost and is
concerned about them. (I:91)

The kind of happiness that money just cant buy: the bliss of living for love. (I:96)

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 and your speech in love, and you wont go wrong. (I:98)

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, and I am Love. Stop letting all other ambitions and motives distract you from the
one and only true purpose you're on this Earth for: to love. (I:118)

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 isnt 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 didnt 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, and 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 and 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 and all the mighty monuments to the accomplishments of man
will cease and 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. (I:121)

All you do in love will be like a little seed of eternity. (I:134)

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 and be used of Me, My instruments of
546
love! (I:138)

Love is the answer, and the more love youll receive from Me, the more love youll have at your disposal to pass on.
Giving your life for the brethren is the supernatural, powerful force of love that drives and 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:148)

Really showing Me to the people means to show love to the people. (I:151)

I will even teach you to love your enemies and have pity and compassion upon those who you think want to harm you.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. To will and desire My good work and pleasure you find in you, but to do
it, you dont find so easily. If your example 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
and will reward your every effort you make, to be a sample of My love! Whatever thou spendest, I will repay! (I:154)

Love in spite of failure, thats real love. Only unconditional love is really love, everything else is just opportunistic
attraction. (I:165)

I want you to come and get the love from Me, because I want you to share it, I want you to pass it on! Come and get it and
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 youve got,
bring your empty vessels and let Me fill them up to the brim, and then you can share what youve got and what you just
received from Me. Only to return to receive more next time and the next... (I:166)

Transporting you across some ocean wont make a great missionary out of you if you cant even love those in your own
back yard. I want you to show My love for them.
Whatever your goals may be, love is still the most important thing, and thats what will speak louder then anything else
you may do or say. Love is all they need and want from you, and if they wont 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?
Youve been wanting to give them My Word and doctrine. But the essence of that is Love, and without love, its all dead
works, and love is the only language theyll understand right now. Speak it! Youve got it, so, give it.
Youve got something to give that the System hasnt got ... love, the greatest and most important thing of all, without
which all these other things are useless, meaningless and empty! Love is all you need! (I:173)

Do your best to be a faithful sample of love! (I:174)

Love loves the unlovely. If you only love those you jibe with, what great feat is that? Anyone can do it, even the unbeliever.
Thats why Im teaching you My supernatural love, that which goes above human capacity. Yes, you cant even love without
Me, thats why you need Me so bad, and 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, and I will fill it! (I:185)

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and smiling faces and looks of love, and glorify
their Father in Heaven, rejoicing inwardly over the recovery of love that they had long thought lost and vanished. Showem
Im still around! And that love is still the answer and the most important thing!
Show it in your actions and your interaction with each other. Showem how much you love each other, and that theres still
enough love around, even for them. (I:186)

I will have mercy, not sacrifice: Before you can go out and sacrifice your pride to Me by being a faithful witness, youve
first got to have a love for the people. Go and learn love, and then it wont even be a sacrifice anymore! Without love, its
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, theres no use in witnessing. Im sending My prophets to the world to give
everybody a chance to repent, to turn around and change their minds, their hearts and their ways, because I love them.
Thats what John 3:16 is all about. I love them, and the Father loves them, thats why I came. Thats why He sent Me and
thats why Im sending you, because I love them. That whoever will receive you might be saved. (I:200)

Love doesnt 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.
I have loved you more than you have ever known, more than your perception of love can ever fathom as long as you live in
the flesh. And nothing and no one can stop that flow, nothing can stop the flood of My love for you, which is also
manifested in My Words of love to you, so, let it flow and never stop! (I:202)

You cannot fake love, nor the real fire. (I:203)

547
Pray for compassion for the sheep. Woo them like a lover.
Love must be the driving force of My Revolution, the Revolution of Love. (I:205)

The gift of sacrificial love is that special Key that makes true saints out of ordinary, originally selfish people, who were not
any different from all the other folks, but have been touched by My supernatural grace and have been transformed by My
Spirit into something they were not. (I:207)

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, isnt 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 and
splendor.
How can you assume that youll be ready to lay down your life for another someday, by some grand endowment from on
high, if youre 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. Its the stuff that our weapons are made out of! And all the great words and great
visions and great aspirations and 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 and 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 and 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 youre failing to give love, youre failing Me. (I:248)

Before you show love to those outside, you have to make sure youre 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, Im sorry, I didnt understand this. Do you think you could make it a little more clear or explain
what you were trying to say?
Whats 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 and comprehend different things, and 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 Im trying to
teach someone at this very moment in their lives! Or perhaps by what youve 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 and being your brothers and 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. (I:249)

Your 2nd greatest duty is to love your neighbor: make a greater effort to love each other and 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 and
outstanding problem, which needs special care and attention, to attend to it, not to avoid it.
Love is a multi-faceted and many-splendored thing, which not only includes being kind and nice to each other. It also
includes imploring and seeking Me for a person with a problem and helping them to apply the solution I give or show you
for them. Tacitly standing by, crossing your arms and shaking your head isnt going to do the trick. (I:273)

Learning to love and teaching how to love is what its 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 youre sowing to the spirit,
investing in eternity, and you will see the result in changed lives around you, and thus youll feel the results in your own
heart almost immediately.
Love is what makes you real. Its what converts empty, fake and phony pretenders into real, truthful, honest and giving
people you can rely on, you can trust in, and its going to be something people will be able to sense and feel about you;
theyll be able to see it in your eyes. No matter if they may be inclined to think youre weird or strange, whatever it is. If
youre genuine, if youre real, if your heart is covered and embalmed in My elixir of love, theyll know they can trust you.
That is how My Family and My children throughout time have been able to operate and survive against all odds: It wasnt
that they had any outstanding means, finances or wealth to back them up, it was a look into their eyes that told people,
548
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: Its My Spirit that counts! The Spirit of Love. Without it, their thoughts about
you may be subject to any amount of doubts. But once youre walking in My Spirit, theyll sense youre emanating a certain
warmth that feels like an old familiar and faithful friend.... Thats the kind of spirit that engenders trust.
Thats a greater value and asset you can have than large resources and any amount of finances to back you up, for theyll
sense your reliability, and that you wont deceive them. Thats why its so important to get any traces of deceit out of your
lives. Its gotta be truth thats ruling your lives. Its gotta be genuine. Its gotta be Gods good gold. Its 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 cant bless it when someone only focuses on what they want.
When they let go of it and try to give love to another, concentrate on the needs of another, try to please Me and fulfill My
commandment of love not just toward the person they love and 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...
Youre 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 and pour out to, find My blessings...
Love loves the unlovely. Love reaches out and is kind even to those you dont feel attracted to, but feel appalled by... Its
laying down your own wants your own life, in order that someone else might live. (I:276)

Real love doesnt lock others out, criticizing them and shaking heads over all their faults and weaknesses. Its pulling them
into your circle of fellowship, not leaving them out in the cold... (I:294)

It always pays to love and be loving, and to keep loving, even when you dont feel like it! When you dont feel like being
kind and loving, but you do it anyway, thats a miracle! So, be the miracle and continue to be the miracle and just hold on
to Me, and you will continue to see ever greater miracles! Be a miracle of love for Me! (I:296)

I would like for you to give encouragement and 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 its not really their own fault what theyve become, but have pity
on them as captives who have been duped and entrapped by the enemy with his lies and lures and enticements.
Theyre captives, slaves of mammon, and youre a free man walking among them. Show a little love and mercy, show
compassion! Can you spare a little lovin for those people? Thats all they need, and all they want, and as long as you dont
have it, youre 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 and light and love! You need to have a major love and
meekness revolution!
What the World needs now is love... Now more than ever. Its almost becoming extinguished, and thats your calling: to
show My love to the World.
Give love to the needy and save their souls! Thats all you should worry about, thats your perfect role! Be more like Me; a
meek and humble, loving Man. Love is the answer! Love is Me! Love is it! Dont forget it, dont neglect it not for a minute!
They need every bit of it you can spare, so, please love, love them up for Me, and let Me love them through you. It would
make Me and them so happy and you, too, youll see! Love! (I:298)

Put yourself in their shoes to try to see and feel things the way they do.
In order to be loved by them, you need to love them enough to be willing to try to understand them.
Just like a flower will wither away if you hide it and keep it away from the light, so love will wither if you try to keep it to
yourselves.
When you grow, it hurts your muscles, so if you want to grow in love, youll have to bear with a little pain as you give away
what you hold most dear... (I:301)

Unity is a requirement to receive the other weapons of the Spirit and the strength to make it through the days to come. My
power is love, and if you dont love one another, you cannot avail yourself of that power... First of all you have to learn the
lesson of love. Only love will make you strong enough to be a martyr or any kind of witness for Me, both, now and in the
future! Without love, it is nothing, it availeth nothing, you are nothing...
So, learn to love, for thats the most important thing! Be My love for others! When you share something you know, do it
with love! If its more of a manifestation of love not to say something you know, then learn to be silent! You must decrease,
your knowledge, your mind, your abilities; but My love in you must increase!
Thats the first step to survival! You wont make it without love! Pray that I will make you not only a vessel of My Word and
My message, but also a power-tool of love! A generator of affection! A distributor of kindness!
Your heart feels so utterly incapable of giving love to so many, especially when you feel like so many dont want your love,
or Mine. But look again, My love, and youll see that love is the only chance youve got! You can know as much as there is
to know, you may have all the other impressive gifts or talents, but what you need is the hand of love, a heart of love that
reaches deep down into the heart of another and touches them and tells them "No matter what you feel or think right now,
God loves you immeasurably and unconditionally! This is the only magic that will ever really truly touch and change a
life!
My Spirit is love! What do you think healed the lame man at the temple gate? Just an awesome manifestation of power to
impress the multitudes? No, My Spirit reached out and touched that man and healed him, made him walk, fulfilled his
wildest dream, which made him jump and praise with joy! That was love!
549
The gift of tongues... some kind of theological display of supernatural spirituality? No an orgasm of love, as thousands
of My Spirit helpers were united with their charges so closely they could even control their tongues and proclaim My
Gospel in languages the foreign visitors to Jerusalem could understand...
Peters sermon that day; a great theosophical treatise to impress the Scribes with Peters eloquence, or a message of
reconciliation between Me and My backslidden people? A marriage proposal from Me to anyone who would receive Me
that day and would choose to become My bride?
Every miracle has behind it a greater purpose of love even the supernatural destruction of evil is only serving the
purpose of love in abolishing their hate...
Unconditional love and forgiveness of sins... are manifestations of My supernatural miracle working power of love.
Lessons on combating familiarity and showing appreciation are all lessons of love. My first foundation stone of higher
heavenly education: love. (I:310)

Love loves the unlovely. Everybody loves the beautiful, but love those who are unloved, and you'll truly gather up for
yourself a treasure in Heaven! (I:315)

That in love type of love is a selfish form of love, its wanting another person, its not really giving. It falls more into the
domain of Lust and its motto, I love me and I want you! Thats basically what most of the World mistakenly sees as
love, but its not always real love, although I can use this kind of feelings sometimes to bring about My will in a persons
life, just like I use other negative emotions like desperation or frustration to break people, humble them, etc.
Many people have an in-built, automatic defense mechanism against other peoples in love feelings, and they often
become cold, harsh and unloving toward those who are in love with them, resulting in unrequited love, one of the great
and sad mysteries of life. The answer is rooted in the secret of true love: not looking and waiting for someone to love you
and make you happy, but going out and finding someone else to love and make happy. Once you do this and apply and
give love yourself, you also become more attractive to those you want to love you.
Before the position of your heart is right, it acts like the wrong pole of a magnet: it pushes people away. This feeling of I
want you! often has the opposite of the desired effect. But once your heart is truly turned toward Me and you allow Me to
love others through you, they become attracted to you, too. (I:333)

Feeling rejected in those in love feelings has to do with whether the love you have is the passive and selfish kind, or the
active, giving and unselfish true kind of love. Let Me activate you and turn you into a generator of true love, a giver of
true love, one active doer of true love, and I personally promise you that you wont feel rejected anymore.
If you feel like you cant do it yourself, ask Me! Turn to Me for your needs, instead of to another frail, imperfect human
being, and Ill give you so much to give, not only to them, but also to others who might really need your love, they wont be
able to help but love you and receive you with arms wide open. (I:335)

St. Francis prayed, Let me not seek to be loved, but to love... for it is in giving that we receive... You may be waiting for
others to give you love, while all the while Im waiting for you to give love to others.
Youre not a baby anymore, but old enough to give love yourself, not look around for somebody else to give you love! (I:336)

Come to Me and get that Power of My divine Love and let Me transform you, change you, and Ill guarantee, never again
will you ever feel unloved! (I:337)

So many gifts in life I give you not because of anything youve got, or you are or youve done, but simply because I love
you, and out of mercy, and to see whether youre going to be just as generous with My blessings as I have been with you,
to see whether youre willing to give and to share, not because anyone would deserve it, but because I love them, and
therefore you love them, too.
Im looking for people who want to live what this means: Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life
for his friends. (I:347)

Compared to the Love of Heaven, all earthly loves are let-downs and disappointments. (I:348)

You can be partakers of My sufferings and help Me carry My cross by helping your brothers and sisters to make it, by
praying for them, supporting them, and doing whatever I show you and put within you to help them, lift them up and
encourage them.
Many lives are saved by those who decide to live for others...
- Those who forget about their own burdens and crosses for the sake of others, and to help them carry theirs, turning the
power outward instead of inward, which has a great reward: the joy and happiness of truly living for others. (I:361)

Love each other, knowing that the imperfection you see will soon be exchanged for a perfect, whole soul...Hold on and see
what no eyes can see, beyond that which is now, this fleeting shadow, into the everlasting beauty and glory of what youre
all going to be! Love each other with a glimpse of that perfect love, which casts out all fear and all other imperfections,
sins and blemishes. Love is what makes you perfect! Be perfect in love! (I:366)

You must see a potential friend in everyone you meet, a friend who might receive Me, if you just give them a chance, a
friend you should be willing to lay down your life for your pride and reputation. No greater love hath any man than this...
(I:369)

550
Love will be the necessary weapon and ingredient and prerequisite for you to make it through the dark days to come.
You want to survive? Then love each other. You want abundant supplies? Then love each other. You dont want your faith,
your fire, dedication and love for Me to die? Then love each other. Love each other to the extent where you are willing to
die for each other, not withholding from each other, which tends to bring both, physical and spiritual poverty, but freely
giving to each other what you also freely have received. (I:377)

The first and foremost commandment is to love Me with all your heart and soul, and whenever you fall short of that goal,
everything else suffers: your love for others is weakened, your power and strength to forgive, and consequently you
become more critical, seeing their faults, or focusing on them more than you should and thus wind up discouraged and
defeated. (I:386)

Ignoring someones problem altogether is not love. (I:390)

Its sad whenever someone is too busy to show love!

Take time to love Me and your fellowman! Even if people act a bit dumb sometimes, or ask silly questions, its not an
excuse to not show love! You may consider yourself smarter than they are, but if you havent got love, of what use is all
the smartness in the World? Its the heart that counts, and you wont be judged or rewarded by how smart you were in this
life, but by the love you show. Its the heart that matters most!
Convey love, its the only thing worth conveying!
Seek to show love above all! If you dont have enough, ask Me!
Let Me show My love, My kindness and My mercy through you! There is no higher purpose you could possibly pursue or
fulfill! Make this your highest goal, to truly be a messenger of My love! All else doesnt count!
So often you dont pass the test of love I bring across your way! Whenever anyone asks you a dumb or silly or even
pointless question, see it as a test of love! Will you roll your eyes and give a snappy remark for an answer or not answer at
all because you figure its not even worth your breath? Well, thats arrogance! Failed! And youll have to wait until the next
test comes around, another golden opportunity to show love instead of pride!
Meet each question asked with friendliness, kindness, politeness and an air of understanding, loving-kindness and
patience. Without love, you might as well forget it! You cannot do the work of the Spirit without the Spirit! Spread Love!
(I:394)

Just like I gave Abraham the fulfillment of his desires and My Promises to him, the heir of My covenant, and yet I asked
him to give this embodiment of all that was important to him back to Me, even so it is with all of you: everyone has the
choice whether they're going to let the things I have given them, their boy- or girl-friend, their children, wife or husband,
become their new god, the thing they live for, the thing that all their actions revolve around, or whether they're going to
give it back to Me every day, lay it on the altar and put Me first.
In a very real way, this sacrifice greatly enhanced Abraham's love for Isaac. It showed him how blessed he was, every day,
after this, to even have him, because I could have also taken him away from him. Now that he had shown that he would not
even withhold his very son from Me, now he could love him with a love that was pure, purged of selfish intentions or
motivations. He loved him with a love that daily cried out to Me in thankfulness: "God, I thank Thee for this son whom You
have given me, and whom you have asked from me, and I have not withheld him from you, and for this son that you have
given back to me!" It was a love that was enhanced and beautified by utter submission to Me. That's the kind of pure love
that is necessary, in order to make it in this life and death game of faith! A love that says to the one whom you love: "I love
you, but you are not mine, but have only been given to me by the Lord, and I am willing to give you back to Him at any time
He requests you. He has loved me as much as to give you to me, and I will love Him back and give you back to Him any
time He asks, and this in return, will again, strengthen and purify our love for each other..."
As long as you are ridden by your own selfish desires, you're not different from anyone else in the World. And you aren't,
really. You've got the same desires. Abraham had the same desires to have a family, as any other man in the World.
But the difference between those like Abraham and the rest of the World is that they can say, "See, I've had the same
desires as you, I'm the same kind of material as you, but I've had to learn to put the Lord first, before that natural desire of
mine. We've got to learn to give back to God that which He gives us in the first place, to show that we're thankful to Him,
that we acknowledge that it all comes from Him, and that we learn not to take each other for granted, for that way we will
only hurt each other. But when we give each other back to the Lord, it enhances our love for each other, it makes our love
grow and grow and grow..."
As long as You love Me first and put Me first and show and prove by your actions that I'm the most important factor in your
life, that love I have given you for another human being will be within the realm where I can bless it. (I:399)

Love is spirit. It's like the wind that bloweth where it listeth and canst not tell whence it cometh or wither it goeth. It is like
the fertile ground that brings forth its fruit in due season, and also like a raging fire, burning the dross and the chaff, giving
warmth to those who are cold. And, again, like water, which, when poured out upon the thirsty ground, will refresh and
bring life. (I:400)

The battles you're experiencing will also enhance your love, your personality, your character, your understanding and
ability to deal and interact with your fellowman. Just like I learned a lot from My interactions with people during My time on
Earth, became a lot more understanding of their plight, much more patient and merciful, so will all this serve to teach you
greater love.
Consider a loving interaction with each other, the loving service of hearing one another out and have them share what's on
their heart, as part of your loving service to Me, part of your labors of love, which will not be in vain, nor remain
551
unrewarded. Every word that is spoken between you is being recorded, so make sure they are loving, edifying and
encouraging words, lest you will have to be ashamed of them one day. (I:404)

I'm teaching you to love the imperfect more unconditionally, and I'm teaching you to love the Perfect, namely Me, more
through this all.
People don't "function and operate" like machines, they actually need that little human ingredient called love to "function"
properly! I'm trying to make you a little more humane toward others, to have a little more love.
Just remember, "Love never fails." Love is the most important thing! Let love reign! (I:414)

Love is the future! And if love is what you want, the future is yours. Leave those goats alone who settle for anything less
and come with Me into that land of Love where you will feel truly at Home.
Don't lord it out over anyone, but continue to humbly do all you can to make them feel loved. (I:415)

You've got to believe in My Love! You've simply got to know that I love you! The original sin of man was to doubt that, and
the greatest sin, the sin against the Holy Spirit, is to reject that love by not believing that God so loved the World that He
gave His only begotten Son, once they've been given the chance to receive Him.
Strive with all your might to believe in My Love, that it's always there for you, that I mean only the best for you, that I would
never allow anything to hurt you without a divine purpose that is higher than what you know or can see right now! Believe
in My Love!
How can you love Me in return, unless you first know beyond a shadow of doubt that I truly love you? Many people fear
Me, but that motivation is not really enough to do and accomplish the works of love I want you to do.
Unshaking faith in My Love, that's what really brings results, the kind of fruit I desire, fruits of love. (I:416)

You can have all the wisdom of a god, but without love, it's still not the same. (I:421)

One of the most important things you need to do is to believe in My Love. (I:426)

Loving people takes time and effort... (I:441)

My Love is not dependent on your goodness or any works of yours. I just love you, that's all, and you either believe it or
you don't. Faith in My Love for you is a driving force that will get you further than any self-esteem or self-confidence in the
flesh.
Believe that I love you, no matter what the devil tells you!
If you had a clue how much I love you, each of your steps would be a jump for joy! (I:455)

I want you to base your confidence on My Love for you. (I:460)

You're coming closer to Me every moment of your life, because I love you, and the closer you come to Me, the more you
will see just how much I love you and what a vast amount of care I bestow upon you.
Can you have a little faith in Me that I still know best and still do what's best for you because I love you?
No one will ever be able to love you like I do. You may even hate yourself and feel like everybody else hates you, too, but I
still love you, love you, love you, and there's no end to the love I have for you.
I love you, no matter how bad you are or could ever be, because you have received Me. It will have been worth it! I'm not
putting any pressure on you, I'm just trying to get you to love Me by realizing how much I love you. I love you with a
burning love, which is only returned with a tiny fraction of the intensity with which it originates, but I'll be waiting faithfully
and patiently for your love for Me to grow. (I:466)

You've got to learn to love folks even with their mistakes! "Love the sinner and hate the sin" doesn't really mean, "Sure, I'll
love the sinner. - As soon as he gets rid of the sin!" Imagine if that was My attitude! No, loving the sinner means loving
them in spite of their sin!
I love you completely despite all and any of your sins and flaws and short-comings. And I want you to learn to love others
with that very same love of Mine for them, too. I've got a love that sees through faults as if they were not even there.
I just see the good, that's what love does. Learn to see through the eyes of forgiveness, and the eyes of love.
Learn to be loving, forgiving and seeing through My eyes, instead of putting them in a box! Love people as I also love
them! Love them with My liberating Power of Love! (I:469)

Love is the way! Love is what everybody needs! Love is the answer! Love is the power without which you can't do the
Master's work, and to get it, you must spend time with the Master! Make sure you do all things in love, in My power! (I:470)

See what wonders love can do and how miraculously it can change the most chaotic or rotten looking situation or life... It
can transform the worst problem cases and the greatest losers into winners by My grace! (I:483)

Can you see what I'm doing in your life? You're learning to love, as you are being loved. Without it, all works and
accomplishments mean nothing. (I:487)

Love keeps on giving, even when you feel exhausted.

552
Love has to continue, and in order to keep it alive, you have to keep loving, keep using it, keep moving. Crank up the motor
of love and keep burning the fuel! (I:491)

Love is going down a road that you, in your own "right" mind, according to your desires, and your flesh, would not
choose. It's the road one takes in defiance of the flesh. It's what made Me walk up that road to Calvary, and what's making
you want to understand that for which you naturally don't have any understanding... It's walking the extra mile.
Like the brother who ran out to the battle-field to his heavily wounded brother, only to die there with him, because he
expected it of him.
Are you willing to learn and to acquire a greater love than what you have known and called love thus far?
Are you willing to be a prisoner of love and in this find the greatest freedom?
It's all got to do with loyalty, commitment, being a faithful and reliable friend, it's all got to do with being a man of honor.
It's not a pride trip I'm talking about. It's seeing through to the end what you've started, not stopping at any point short of
death and the ultimate extreme. It's learning all that you have not yet known about love. (I:493)

You need to be awakened by the kiss of My love first, the kiss of My anointing of love! Without the anointing of My love,
you will fall flat on your faces.
You can't do My work without My power. You can't just keep going as if nothing happened, after the love has gone. You
can't pretend everything is alright after the love has gone. (I:500)

Love with My Love, which is eternal and sees the eternal creation, not the flesh, and is unconditional, because temporal,
finite conditions scarcely count when compared to eternity, limitless possibilities and My never ending Power of Love!
(I:506)

Love is the meaning of life on every level. Even on the highest level, I the Son of God and Creator of all things, as well as
the Father Himself, We live to love and to be loved. (I:509)

The longer you love Me, the more time you will spend in My arms right here with Me, the more the urge will grow in you to
also share that love with others, and the more My Love in you will compel and constrain you to give that same love to
those who also seek Me. (I:511)

When someone in your midst is being attacked, it's a test for 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! (I:512)

It doesn't matter what or how or where you are, I will always love you! Always be mindful of My unconditional Love for you
and don't get bogged down with thoughts of self-condemnation!
Instead of allowing the sin and the bad all around to drag you down into the pit, you should praise Me, that in spite of all
that filth I love you and will always love you. (I:516)

I'm teaching you to love each other, in spite of whatever flaws or imperfections each may have, by learning to see them
through the eyes of the Spirit and My eyes of love! (I:522)

If you can convey to people that everything's going to be alright, because I'm in control, they can trust Me... Thats already
worth a lot. And if you love them unconditionally, with the love you got from Me, then they get a glimpse of hope that I can
love them like that, too, and that I won't allow anything bad to happen to them. Comfort them with the comfort you've
found in Me!
Encouraging and comforting others is part of the magic of Love. (I:534)

Keep in mind what you're fighting for: the defeat of self in favor of greater love, unselfishness and sacrifice for others! -
Learning to be there for others, and to give, not just to receive.
Continue to bear in mind that heavenly, golden and noble objective and goal of unselfish love!
Seek to understand, to empathize, to see their viewpoint, to lend a listening ear and a helping hand and thus fulfill My Law
of Love! (I:537)

Please do not fail to show them My love!

It's quite a responsibility to be My face to the World, My hands, My mouth, My feet, My representative!
Be a channel of My love!
What if this was the only time you had left to show My love? (I:538)

Conquer and save the world through love and perseverance, love that never fails and never quits.
It's going to be a love explosion, resulting in many seeds sown and many more new children born into My Kingdom... (I:544)

Just to do the humble thing, the little faithful things that make this Kingdom stand, to be a nobody and be willing to do
anything for anybody, anywhere, at any time... the love that lays down its life for another! That's the kind of love that will
make it. (I:545)

"The hare never made it, but the tortoise did", and a little crippled boy like Tommy can accomplish "more" in My eyes, and
in the aspects of real, genuine love, than many a great flashy evangelist and flaming prophet who only stumbles others
with his unloving sample and testimony of grandeur, display of self that's lacking honest-to-God truth and humility.
553
There IS a difference when I'm really in it. You'll feel it. You'll feel a warm tug at your heart when it's really Me coming along
and asking you to follow Me. There's got to be love in it, and without love, it's nothing.
And even if you spend your whole life just learning how to truly love one person, if that's My will for you, then you're better
off doing that than any other grand ministry I didn't really call you to, or trying to do it before you're really ready. (I:551)

What's more important than your "accomplishments" is the real difference you can make through love. And love doesn't think
about herself and what she's missing out on, love is concerned about others! And who did I tell you to love - right after Me? Your
neighbor, or the one closest to you! (I:553)

Only those who are not ashamed to be Mine in the most intimate ways possible are going to be strong enough, for their
love will be strong enough and deep enough. It is My Love for them and their love for Me what will help them make it
through the darkest night in history. (I:568)

The sum of everything I've been trying to teach you, all amounts to the same ever new and yet oldest of all things: it's all
about love, how to acquire and practice and give greater love, how to overcome selfishness.
Remember, "The greatest of these is love." You cannot do it without the power of love. If you don't feel that My love
constrains you and is your motive, then stop everything and get ahold of Me, and love Me and receive My love, until it truly
becomes your motivation.
This is the reason for it all. It's not a technical thing. All this talk about staying "online" with Me permanently, focusing on
eternal values and goals, praying more, etc., all it amounts to is just greater love, and love is the purpose for it all. You've
got to have My love, otherwise it all won't work. Love is the A and O, the beginning and the end, the purpose of everything.
It's not who gets the greatest glory, who gets the greatest rewards, who gets the most done, but it's all and simply about
learning to love.
If at any point on your path you notice you're veering off that straight and narrow path of love above all, then hold it, go
back, if necessary, do whatever you must to find that true goal again, that truest of all goals.
Love and nothing else is what shall remain. (I:575)

Your commission is to love them with My Love.

If nothing else, you can love them through your prayers. Then you can ask Me for what other steps you can take to love
them, and I will show you. You have to develop a vision and a burden for it, the goal of reaching them. You think they don't
want to be reached, but you've got to look past the surface, beyond the superficial impression that they don't want to be
touched or loved with My love.
They may not even know what's good for them, but you've got to look past all that and look at their poor, sick and aching
hearts, knowing that you've got the medicine, and then be willing to administer it. Don't hold back!
You've got the love that they need. Be a faithful conveyer of My love! Go forth, in the name of Love! (I:584)

I don't just want to be Your "boss" or commander, I want to be loved by you! Obedience without love is not really what I'm
after, and without love, it all means nothing to Me.
Love is and was and always has been the most important thing in life. Nothing but total love satisfies.
In Heaven, in the City of Love, where the God of Love rules and dwells with His own people of love, there is no such thing
as lovelessness, just as there is no darkness in this City of Light.
Likewise, you will also never ever lack energy anymore, because love IS the energy of God.
You need warmth and light and love to function and operate fully. If there's not enough love around, don't just be a
thermometer, but be a creator, a generator of love.
Let your light shine and let your love shine, and who knows but that it might just be the ember that's going to spark their
flame, too?
The remedy for your lack of energy is the best remedy for everything: love! If you focus on love, and you just fall in love
with Me, and consequently with the souls of those around you, you'll fall in love with life, and the more love you have. It
gets you moving into positive action.
My Love, My ultimate motive and incentive can spur you on and cause you to move out into positive action.
It's your calling, your destiny, your commission, to be a powerhouse of My Love, an ambassador of love, an envoy of love.
Love is what I want you to convey, love is your message, love is what I want you to deliver and what I'm sending you out to
give to the world!
You've got to make My love your token, your standard, your goal, your banner and the essence of everything you do,
everything you say. It must be your motivation and driving force everywhere you go, there can be no other. Mere sense of
duty will not do. It's got to be love, anything else is not enough.
The magic and power that's going to enable you to make that difference is love!
If you get ahold of My Love, get connected to Me, getting re-filled with love for Me and those you're going to meet, that's
going to give you power and energy like nothing else will ever do. (I:594)

You've just got to have a heart for people, be concerned about them, be moved with compassion upon them as I was and
still am.
Love is what it's all about, and it's people you're supposed to love. They're the destination and recipients of that love. What
do you do with all that love? You give it away! To who? To people!
People are your mission, people are your purpose, your ministry and the reason you're here. All those great saints of the
ages that ever lived, they weren't so great because they attained some state of saintliness or holiness, but because they
dedicated their lives to people. (I:597)
554
The only way you're ever going to love anyone enough, and the way they need to be loved, is through Me and by My Spirit
of power and love and of a sound mind.
The only real and true and lasting cure is My Love.
In order to love your neighbor as yourself, you've first got to love Me and get filled up with My love for them.
You want love? Come and get it! I can give it to you! Your spirit is a wonderland that I can fill with My love and light.
Otherwise - without My infilling, it'll just be cold and dark and useless. There's no way you're ever going to have enough
love without coming to Me first to get it. (I:606)

I have loved you with unconditional love, and so should you learn to love likewise. I have forgiven you and continue to
forgive your countless sins and overlook your flaws, and you should learn to forgive as you're being forgiven, to love as
you're being loved, to help others to grow, even as you're being helped and taught by Me. (II:1)

Real, genuine, unselfish love loves the unlovely. (II:4)

I don't judge you by the amount of accomplishments you achieve, but reward you for the amount of love you show.
You've got to have it inside before you can give it out; you've got to have the love for each other first, before you can let
your light so shine before men. If you can't even love each other, how can they expect that you're truly going to love them?
(II:7)

When someone operates in the flesh, there's nothing uplifting about it, no heart, no soul, no spirit, no real life in it. Without
the Spirit, it's dead, without love, it avails nothing... (II:16)

In order to become a real lover of people you've got to forget about your ego and tune in to them and their needs instead.
Take time to love, take time to learn the art of love. (II:31)

Even though with your mind you can make the decision to love somebody, it's still another step until you can truly say you
love somebody, and that's just something that comes from the heart, not the mind. Love is a matter of the heart, "the heart
of the matter..." (II:58)

How can you say you love God, Whom you haven't seen, if you cannot love your brother (or sister) whom you have seen?
Becoming a missionary starts at home.
If they can't even tell that you love them, what's the use of all the preaching in the world?
Love your brother or sister for Me!
Make love your life, your goal, your ambition, and unity your treasure, which you're going to shield and guard zealously. Be
a shepherd that lays down his life for his sheep, and let them know that and feel that beyond a shadow of doubt.
Lovest thou Me? Love My sheep! (II:65)

Get a re-fill of your capacities to love! (II:66)

There are greater riches in life to be gained than material wealth.

You're learning how to love. That's more important to Me and in My eyes than for someone to become popular and
successful in this world. (II:71)

The world needs you so much to wear that anointing of love, and you must never forget it!
You must have a love that exceeds kindness. A love that they can feel and lets them know that there's a chance for them to
be forgiven for all their sins, a love that loves them unconditionally. (II:84)

I want you to love each other including all your flaws, just like I do. I loved you so much that I was willing to die for your
sins. And you can wield that same, supernatural power of love and forgiveness, too, the ability to love in spite of
someone's faults. (II:91)

Without love, there is no worthwhile ministry, mission or cause, and you cannot perform My tasks I have for you, and the
work I want you to do for Me.
If this love isn't your driving force and the power that motivates you, it will only be a lifeless going through the motions... it
cannot work, it cannot bring forth fruit!
Love is what it's all about. It's not about having a glorious ministry, not about impressing the people with your talent... The
only lasting impression you're ever going to make and the only one they're interested in is an impression of love! If you
show them you love them sincerely and genuinely, that will impress them!
Love is the greatest of all gifts. Greater than prophecy, greater than good works, greater than the gift of tongues, miracles,
faith and all the other impressive gifts! The only gift that will really make a lasting impression on someone that will cause
them to change their lives is that gift of love.
When you're humble and small, then you're able to love people. Humility and love are one. (II:94)

A lack of love had a devastating effect. (II:101)

555
How much are you availing yourself of the veil of love? How much do you use it? In other words, how much do you love?
How much are you able to cope with others in spite of their faults?
Blessed are those who see the good and possibilities others can't see and who can just accept and love people the way
they are. (II:106)

Love unconditionally, forgive and give everybody a new chance each day for a fresh clean start, not keeping grudges or
mindsets about them that will throw shadows of negativity on them! Be a conduit of My Love which is new everyday, and
endless! (II:107)

Let folks know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you love them! How can they believe that, if you're not willing to
sacrifice a few hours to deal with a problem someone has, in a gentle, loving and patient way?
The only thing that won't fail to win hearts, and if you want to accomplish a fraction of what you would like to accomplish
for Me, is love.
Now, love is a tricky thing sometimes, because you may think or even feel like you've got all the love for someone they
should need or deserve, but if it doesn't come across like that at the other end, if the person you claim to love doesn't feel
loved by you.
Your ability to love may still have room for improvement, and perhaps there's an area I want you to change in. Maybe I
want you to stretch your capabilities of love and mercy! (II:108)

If you focus on the negative, you will see the negative. If you focus on the positive - which, granted, with some people is a
little bit harder - you eventually will see the positive.
You must learn to look for the good in people! Then it will also not be so hard for you to correct them or tell them about
some of the things they do which you consider wrong, because they'll still feel that you love them and consider them a
positive addition and a blessing to your life, not a burden.
What is needed is a more positive outlook, more love, more of the ability to see the good in others, instead of the bad.
If you want to be liked and loved, you better find ways to see the good in others, so that you will learn to like them and to
love them in spite of their flaws, so that they in turn will learn to like and love you in spite of yours. If you put up with
theirs, they'll put up with yours! (II:116)

Fight for love, and give everything you've got for love!
If you go about it the right way, you will find a great calling, and great joy in being My messenger, and you will become
better at telling others the truth in love. Find out what wonderful fruit the truth brings in others' lives!
Don't hurt anyone by withholding the truth from them. That hurts even more. Find ways to let them know lovingly. (II:117)

Some do apply genuine and sincere love, which cannot fail. But often they forget or don't know that to a child, love spells
t.i.m.e. (II:127)

It must be My Love that should constrain you. Everything you do for Me, I want you to do it voluntarily, out of your love for
Me and for the sheep, which is there as a result of My Love for you. (II:130)

I'm bringing into your life a love as bright as the sun, one where you don't have to try to hide. Unconditional love is the
very magic that will convert you into a true prince of Mine. (II:131)

For Me, any lack of love is closer to insanity than a genuine need for love and an honest expression of a need for love.
The importance of showing affection, appreciation and love: Without love, it's all nothing! (II:142)

My supernatural Love, which is going to enable you to forgive each other time and time again for your failures and
shortcomings, casting veils over countless sins and flaws, and to not only keep loving each other as much as before, but
even more than before in spite of it all.
Against all the odds of the humanly reasonable and possible, this love is going to grow. But this is only going to be
possible by My Spirit. (II:150)

The primary requisite for all those who would follow Me is love, and once My perfect Love will be your driving force and
motivation, it will cast out all your fears, and courage will be yours, along with everything else you'll ever need! (II:151)

Can you say that you've touched someone with My Love? That's what counts and what you should focus on! Forget about
yourself and get into them! (II:152)

Everybody in the world can love the person they're emotionally attracted to, they have a crush on or are in love with. But
learning how to love unselfishly, for My sake and for the glory of My kingdom is a whole different ball game! (II:156)

My Love is a higher emotion, not bound by circumstances, nor influenced by selfish feelings. It's something you would call
supernatural!
It's the kind of love that's even capable of loving your enemies! Your natural inclination toward your enemies is to hate or
at least dislike them, and you want Me to judge them.

556
But remember what I said? "Bless them that curse you, do good to them that despitefully use you and persecute you..."
For if you love only those who love you, what reward is that? I want My children to be masters at the art of loving, capable
of loving more than average.
To want to go out and take My Gospel to complete strangers who are not very likely to welcome or embrace what you've
got to tell or offer them takes the kind of love I'm talking about, and it begins where your natural resources and capabilities
to love end.
Your natural emotions come to an end, but this is something greater, a divine Love, and supernatural, a work of My grace.
(II:157)

You have more love for each other if you experience the heat of the battle field together, and let that melt and mold you
together! (II:158)

Anything that's tough on one's self-righteousness and pride is good for them! Anything that engenders humility, greater
teamwork, anything that shows you're willing to bend and sacrifice a personal opinion for the sake of greater unity, those
are manifestations of love in My eyes, and are important to Me. (II:162)

The enemy sees where you're forgetting about the important detail of applying your spiritual wealth and riches of showing
love and appreciation, and he holds on to it, makes it impossible for you to show any more. "He that withholdeth it tendeth
to poverty (Prov.11:24)!" (II:164)

What is the greater love, and what is its greater manifestation? The crush when you were a young boy, or the faithful years
of helping out, even without all that much emotional involvement?
My Love is tangible. It is something you can feel. But it's also more than that! It goes beyond what you feel, and sometimes
even contrary to what you feel like. (II:169)

The devil is keeping you from giving the love you ought to. And as a result of that lack of love, there is a whole flood of lies
he can pour into their vacancy.
There is no excuse for failing to love! To love is the one and only commandment, so why don't you keep it?
And to love does not just mean to passively and reluctantly tolerate. To love is reaching out, actively going on the attack
and doing something to alter your "neighbor's" state, not blaming them, but taking the responsibility to do something
about it!
Every little drop of love you'll pour into each hungry and love-thirsty soul by your side will not return to you void. (II:172)

The kind of love I want you to have for one another is the kind that is blind to each other's faults, that just keeps loving
unconditionally, that refuses to let the enemy plant any negative thoughts about them in your mind and automatically casts
a veil over any fault or flaw you might detect in them.
You must never let another's weakness affect your love for them. You must keep it unconditional. That's superhuman love,
but it's the kind of love available to you by My Spirit!
That's your royal duty toward one another! My followers owe it to each other to love each other. (II:176)

The feelings I will give you will usually engender love, and strengthen your love for someone, instead of doubt. Even if by
the gift of discernment I show you something that's wrong with somebody, My Spirit will enable you to cast a veil over their
flaws and love them in spite of it. I will even enable you to show love to your enemies! (II:177)

Learn patience for the less than perfect, and love for the unlovely!
Everybody can love perfect people! There's nothing special about that. But it takes something to learn to love the
imperfect and faulty, and to put up with their flaws, look past and beyond them and yet come up with a compassion for
them that will enable you to even lay down your life for them.
So, learn to love others in spite of their faults! (II:179)

You want people to like you and love you. That's natural. But your primary concern should not be that people like you and
love you, but to love Me and obey My Word on how to best love them. To love others, according to My standards, doesn't
mean to do all you can to please them so that you can be sure they'll love you, but to do the things that I tell and show you
they will need the most.
Get your instructions from Me about what I want you to give to those around you, how I want you to manifest to them My
Love and My idea of love! (II:184)

When someone is in need of love, that's always a priority for Me.

Making love conditional is such a nuisance of the enemy! He makes you take on the role of the judge and jury in your mind
and utter the verdict: "No, I won't love you or show you any love because you have failed in this and that or because
you've committed this or that wrong..."
Somebody's gotta tell'em that I love them! I don't want to judge them, I don't want to accuse them, I don't want to hold
grudges against them, I just want to love them! (II:193)

Getting to know Me is part of the purpose of life... You can't really love someone unless you know them, right? So, in order
to learn to love Me it sure helps to get to know Me. (II:194)

557
It will be manifest how much of a real Christian you are when it comes to showing how much you're capable of loving your
enemies.
Love that is capable of loving the enemies has always been a very strong sample and witness throughout the generations,
and has been a proof of who My real followers were.
Try to practice some "love your enemies!" (II:197)

I shine My love on you and you reflect it to the World...

There is never anything more important than to make sure you're fulfilling your destiny to love. Love is your destiny!
Realize just how important it is, and you're failing if you don't love, no matter how great and wonderful you think whatever
else you're doing might be!
Acquiring riches or conquering lands, all that is naught if they have failed to love. No matter what you did, it is nothing,
compared to love! Every humble little person who just did whatever they could to show somebody sincere and genuine
love is greater in My eyes than all the great conquerors, heroes, super stars and multi-millionaires together!
Love is the secret. Foolish is the man who neglects it. Wise is he who respects it. Perfect will be he who makes it his all-in-
all. (II:198)

Make a positive difference! The art lies in seeing in others the good and positive that is not so obviously seen... to patiently
put up with others' flaws and be helpful, loving and tolerant.
You cannot go by the sample others showed you, because I have given you different strengths, a different capacity to
love... (II:201)

What I want is endless love that will stop at nothing, which would do anything, go to any length.
You wonder, "Can such love be acquired, even if I don't have it yet?" How much do you desire it? How badly do you want
it? What price are you willing to pay for it? Is this love worth everything to you? Everything you've got? Are you willing to
go to the ultimate extreme for it?
Endless love will never stop, and has been the power and force that has been motivating every one of My children to either
serve Me or others unconditionally until the end.
- True devotion and loyalty. No ifs, buts or conditions attached.
Will you have that kind of love for Me? (II:211)

There's lots more to learn about love! (II:212)

Do you trust Me that I love you so much that everything that happens to you is the best possible option? (II:213)

My Love for you isn't influenced by circumstances.

I love you unconditionally, whether you're good or bad, and although I do try to teach you lessons or deal with you for your
wrongs, it does not influence My amount of Love for you if you make mistakes or fail. (II:243)

In what better way can you live and manifest love than by being a help in time of need? (II:246)

Welcome to the school of learning to love unconditionally. You have to learn to keep loving unconditionally, and not make
your love hinge on behavior and good deeds. You must love regardless of failures, just as I love you regardless of yours.
When your own love fails and comes to an end, call out to Me, and I will make a way to love where there was no way, I will
give you strength to love when there was no strength left...
Look up to Me and learn of Me how to love unconditionally. (II:247)

Love them even if they oppose you!

Your responsibility to love them isn't something you're supposed to do without My Help. When it becomes humanly
impossible to love someone, let it serve as a reminder that without Me you cannot do anything anyway.
Loving others unconditionally is an art and a task that only I can really teach you. (II:248)

It's always the right time to do the right thing, and showing love is not a thing dependent on whether they "deserve" it or
not, it's simply always the right thing to do. (II:257)

I love you, and I don't want you to go out there for any other reason than to convey that love! If it's not love that spurs you
on, motivates you, then wait and ask Me for it!
It's not religious zeal that I want to be your driving force, but simply love for Me and them. And if you can't even love Me
properly because you're scared of what I might do to you in case you fail Me, if you haven't gotten the point yet that I only
want you to love Me because you have experienced My love for you first, then you're certainly not going to be able to
convey that love to others. (II:260)

I want to kindle a fire of love in your heart. It's got to be love, not fear of failure. I want them to see love in your eyes! If it's
not love, it's no use. (II:261)

Love is showing My truth without words. Truth in action, manifested through deeds of love. The only thing that's going to
win them is love.
The logic of man is coming to an end. But love will prevail. (II:264)
558
Only if the enemy manages to make you doubt My Love for you, is there a shadow obstructing the flow of My Light and
Love to you.
The art of loving is a many-colored and multi-faceted world in itself, enough to keep you busy learning forever. (II:265)

Love is more important than the future, for it is the future. It is more important than success, because it is success in My
eyes. It is more important than anything, because it is everything; love is God, the most important and supreme, ultimate
and greatest of all absolutes.
Anything else is relatively unimportant. What's important, is love. And love loves the unlovely. It sees issues such as
"weak" and "strong" differently.
The only thing that matters is love, and it starts with loving Me, and then I'll also give you enough love for those around
you. (II:267)

Love is not being superficial, not just sounding the same as everybody else. (II:271)

You've got the Light and the Power, the Love, and it was given for the purpose that you pass it on, it's nothing you can
hide, tuck away or selfishly keep to yourself. It's not exactly the same, but electricity is an illustration of the even greater,
spiritual Power of God's Love. (II:288)

Love means to be willing to even help someone out of a mess they've gotten themselves into, even if it was caused by
their own mistake. Love doesn't say, "It's your own fault!" Love quietly acknowledges, "we all make mistakes" and reaches
out a hand to help the other up in whatever way you can. (II:304)

You don't have to wait until you're perfect before you can give a little love. Love is seeing beyond the imperfection and
seeing Me, the Perfect in it.
Just look again, and once you find a glimpse of Me in them, stay focused on that, and not on their negative sides! Just let
it be. What every man or woman or child manages to be, let it be! Don't expect perfection from them! (II:310)

Relate from the heart and gut side of things, the love side, not the judgmental, analytical side of the mind! - From the side
of mercy, as you would want mercy if you were in their shoes. (II:312)

Don't behave just like everybody else by evading and avoiding those you don't like, but prove that you're a follower of Me
Who said, "love your enemies!" I'm asking you not to avoid those you don't like, but to approach them, to embrace them.
Not to shut them out, but to draw them in, to include them. No matter how much your own flesh tells you how much better
you are, how many differences you have, how you can't possibly agree or bear with this attitude or that quirk...
A lot of people just choose to live with those they can bear to live with, those of their own kind. They avoid having to
stretch their own muscles of tolerance. That's so easy. That's so lame. That's definitely not heroic. That's definitely not
what I did! (II:315)

See what wonders brotherly love and faith in your brothers can do! Treat people like potential winners, not losers. Show
more appreciation, not a critical or self-righteous attitude.
Forgiveness is believing in people. It's believing that the Father knew what He was doing in creating them, believing that I
know what I'm doing as I lead them through life, and believing that if I have done it for you, I can do it for them, too. Your
job is just to love them! (II:329)

Those who get the core and gist of My message, that Love, nothing else, is the secret, they are the ones who have their
hearts open to Me.
The key and the gist of My teachings and of My life, and of all I want to convey to mankind is Love, and that's a matter of
the heart, not of the head. (II:343)

It was My Father's Love for Me that saw Me through. And even so it will be His and My Love for you that will see you
through and help you to focus on the few who will make it worth it all! (II:350)

Remember to focus on Me and on the knowledge of My Love, and that through this, nothing is impossible to you! (II:351)

Make people see the truth tactfully and lovingly.

Save your breath for the things that really count, that really matter, that make a difference; the good, positive, uplifting and
loving things! It's never the wrong time to say a loving thing!
If you feel like you've just gotta say something, make it a loving thing you say! (II:356)

You somehow know that there's no point in continuing to keep going as usual when the love has gone. When there's no
more love, what point is there? And that's when you return to Me, the Source of love, with your whole heart, in order to get
back the light, the power, the strength, the vision to keep going. (II:366)

Nobody's perfect. Love loves not because, but in spite of. Love is learning to put up with the flaws of others as I put up
with yours. Love is learning to constantly forgive, to refuse to look at the bad and look at the good instead. (II:373)

559
Love wants to see the person you love rise up to their full potential. And you can help each other do that. (II:384)

I am Love and all that you need. (II:420)

Learning to love unselfishly is the best thing this life has to offer, there is nothing greater! (II:421)

Our Love is like a "tractor beam" that transcends everything: time and space, and connects us through and in spite of
anything, any circumstances or rules of the physical world. The devil is like the impresario who seeks to keep My bride
under his contract, in his service, in favor of her worldly "career," but all that doesn't matter to My bride once she has
tasted of My Love. All that has become worthless to her, and all she will do is wait for Me to come back to her.
Thus is the love between Me and My bride; the greatest passion there is or ever has been.
If you truly delight yourself in Me, and allow Me to become the Love of your life, then I can also bring about someone to fill
the role of a physical manifestation of our love.
True love always has got to be open to let others in as well, otherwise it isn't really true love, and it will come to naught, it
will sadly trickle out to its earthly end.
That's another reason why this world is not your home, and why you're not of this world, because so few are willing to live
this true love.
The only One Who can make love happen from nearly anything, even as Adam was formed from the dust of the ground - is
I. So, if you put your love on Me and set you affections on Me and things Above, not things of this Earth, then you'll be able
to love others with this great Love as well, and it hardly even matters who it is... You'll be willing to lay down your life for
those you know are your brethren, your fellow-brides in Me.
There is no other way to make love any deeper than that. It cannot be a selfish love just between two humans. It couldn't
be a relationship that would exclude others. And yet that is what most people seek. Their focus on the wrong kind of love,
namely merely human love and romance, is the very thing that stands in their way of truly finding this great and true Love,
which will never just end there, with two human beings and none other. It cannot happen, because if you would limit and
constrain such love to only two persons, it would die, it would become a dead end street, like a dead lake, instead of
something alive, that keeps flowing on to others, ready and willing to let them participate in it to bring them love and life,
also.
Blessed are they who have chosen Me to be their first Love. (II:430)

The only cure against all fears is unconditional love; what the Bible calls "perfect love (2.Jn.4:18)," which casts out all fears.
Perfect love will love you in spite of your other-than-average looks or dress or behavior. It will love you with all your quirks.
(II:446)

The only way to get more love to pass on is by receiving it from Me, by becoming a receiver, a true believer, first. (II:449)

The kind of love I have is a gift that you can only receive from Me, it's nothing you can work up in the flesh or through your
own efforts.
It's a gift you need to learn to receive and learn to apply; the gift of unconditional love.
Open the range of the power of this gift in your life to others around you, extending the same mantle, the same veil cast
over countless sins, over anyone else you meet, so that they can truly see My love for them in your eyes.
It won't be naive and childish love thats oblivious to all the evil thats there, but mature love that has seen to what depth
man has sunk, and yet willing to extend a hand and show a way out of those depths, saying, "you don't have to stay down
there, if you don't want to."
If you start thinking something negative about a person, remember that I love them, died for them, and that I love them just
as much as you, and that I would like you to be a vessel and instrument of My love for them. (II:451)

As long as someone is making sincere efforts to come close to Me, not for any glorious elevation of self's sake, but really
only for the love of Me, the love of truth, and the love of love itself, it's okay, you can trust such a person. (II:452)

I'm teaching you how to love, the most important and biggest lesson in life. I want you to learn love from Me. From the way
I love you, you can learn how to love others.
I don't give up on you prematurely, but I love you with a love which hopeth all things, beareth all things, believeth all
things," and never fails, never stops loving, never quits hoping, never stops believing in you. (II:465)

Faith, hope and love go hand in hand. If you have love for people and faith in them, then your hope for the future also
increases, because you learn to look past the circumstances and conditions, past the way things are, and beyond their
current state, to a future where all things are the way they ought to be.
The trick is to accept them right now and the way they are with a love that looks way past all their present imperfections.
(II:466)

I'm stretching your capabilities to love, as well as your faith in people: to continue to believe in them, even when
circumstances are bleak, and they look to you almost like your very enemies.
I was and am more serious about "loving your enemies" than you may have thought.
Only My supernatural Love can enable anyone to do the humanly impossible: to love, forgive and embrace your enemies,
those who hurt you, those who wrong you; to look past and beyond all circumstances, to never stop loving in spite of
anything. (II:476)
560
Loving unconditionally and without partiality is part of learning to love like I do, and as the Father loves. (II:477)

If Love is My Strength and Power, then the inability to love is what spells weakness to Me. If love is what life's supposed to
be all about, then failure to love and show love, is failure indeed. I don't judge anyone by how successful at business they
were or how much money they brought home, but by how much love they show. If "being a good provider" kept you so
busy that you never had any time to show love for your family, then I don't care how much money you brought home, I
would still consider such a life a failure, if caring for your family's physical needs distracted you from showing your love
and affection through your interactions with your family.
And that applies to any other activity you might get enwrapped in. Nothing is more important than love. (II:478)

I love you unconditionally - the way you are.

This is a transforming love and attitude. You love, in spite of. You don't dislike or hate because of, but you love in spite of.
You'll have to descend from your level to theirs. They may not see it that way, they may reject you and dislike you, but you
determine to love them anyway. That's the way I loved; that's the way the Father loves. That's the initiating kind of love, the
creating kind of love, the love that makes something out of nothing, that brings everything where there was nothing. - The
seed which falls onto a ground of dirt and there - by dying - brings life. (II:481)

If you can't see the good qualities in others, then you're in pretty bad shape, because love sees the good in others, and if
you can't, it means that your eyes of love are nearly blind; your ability to love is nearly nil, which means that you don't
possess any of what I call real Strength. (II:484)

Without love, it's nothing.

There's a whole new dimension of revelations... A whole new world is ready to open its door to you.
But having walked through it should not mean that you can just leave everybody behind, and forget about all I've been
trying to teach you on love, unity, the importance of including others, etc.
The position of your heart has to be right. (II:494)

Take the initiative and just spread some love and affection the best you can. If you wait for it to happen, it might never
come; you've got to make it happen!
Learn to be a thermostat instead of a mere thermometer.
To be a pioneer of love, you've got to have the faith and the vision that it's going to be worth it to give and show love to
others, then you've got to have the initiative to be the first to try and give love to someone else, and then you've got to
have the courage to see it through, to keep it up, and not be scared that you're going to get hurt. 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!
You shouldn't hold others responsible to supply you with the love you need in order to keep you going. A lot depends on
you, and the initiative you come up with to get out of yourself and show love to others.
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. (II:498)

Love's Power is so prevalent, that anything about any person which might be disliked by another is simply
"overshadowed" and made invisible, annihilated by it.
That's why Heaven's so perfect, and everyone in Heaven is practically perfect: it's the love that makes them perfect. As
undeserving as anyone might be, they're being loved totally and unconditionally, and that just deletes and erases anything
you would call imperfect. (II:499)

Maturity is not expecting others to be flawless and perfect, but accepting and loving them anyway.
Once you meet them on the level of unconditional love and acceptance, find out what wonders that kind of love can do!
(II:511)

Sometimes the secret of love between two parties is in realizing just how much they need each other. (II:518)

Part of love is to stick with others through their dark times. (II:545)

"Love thy neighbor as thyself" doesn't really work if all you feel for yourself is disdain. Once you trust Me for the way I
made you, then you also begin to learn to trust Me fully for other things, including other people, and their blunders, too.
You've got to lower the standard of perfection for yourself, first, before you can lower it for others.
Accept and believe that I have made you the way I knew perfectly well you were supposed to be, and just trust, believe,
accept, be. You are more loved than you'll ever know in this life. (II:547)

Love and humility are practically one and the same. Without love there can be no humility, and without humility there can
be no real love. Humility is a gift, which you receive for the asking. How badly do you want it? How much do you ask for it,
pray for it, desire 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.

561
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. (II:566)

The only thing that can really spur you on to do the right kind of thing is My Love. (II:573)

I'm showing you to love them not only when they're good, but also when they're bad. I am teaching you to love in the way I
love; not conditionally, not 'providing you're a good boy or girl,' but always.
Love loves always, even when all that appeals to the flesh is gone. Love sees the invisible beyond the visible.
The world needs a whole lot more love than it deserves. Only I have enough love for the world. Others may give according
to what people may deserve, but that's just not enough, for good works can never buy you all the love you need. It's got to
be grace from start to finish. (II:576)

You learn a skill by practicing it, and the way to learn to love is simply by doing it.
Patience and love are connected: it takes time to love. There's no way around it. It takes time to love all those drivers on
the right lane of life.
If you want to be more loving, if you want to love more, just take your time to do it. That's the only way it works. It means
you cut a big piece of the cake of your time that's been given you and pass it on to others and share it with them.
Include, forgive, and cast a veil over countless sins immediately, without even necessarily insisting on seeing them all.
That is love. Try to be understanding, even if you don't understand. All you need to understand is that I love them, and so
should you. You can love them; it's okay to love them, and you should love them. Why wait for everyone to be perfect
before you're going to love them? You think that way you don't waste your energy but will conserve it, but I'm afraid that's
not how it works. Love is like manna; you've got to use it today. That's what living in the here and now really means. Do all
that you can to be loving and to give love today. Today and right now is all you've got and that's guaranteed, to give love to
those around you. (II:580)

One of My greatest ways of conveying My Love to you is through another human being, so, it can easily be that you're
going to find Me right there, in the heart of another person. (II:593)

If you only focus on what you don't have and what you're not, then you're sunk. It's like fighting a losing battle, because
you don't believe in yourself, your cause - or even in the fact that I love and care for you. When you know that I'm on your
side and care for you, that your life is well cared for and safe in My hands, then you can trust that things are okay the way
they are, even if ideally there could be more favorable circumstances. (II:595)

My Love for you is greater than your unbelief! (II:600)

Pain is a part of love; it's part of the price of love. What challenge is there in loving only under favorable conditions? The
true art of loving is to love in spite of the pain. It's learning to forgive constantly and not to harden your heart, but to
embrace the pain and accept it willingly. (II:604)

I don't need or want loud and proud proclaimers as I need and want world-lovers. Not "the world" as in "the System," but
as in John 3:16: "God so loved the world that He gave..." all that was beloved and important to Him. Are you also willing to
give up for the world all that you love and is important to you, so that the world would not perish, but have eternal life?
(II:629)

Knowledge and prophecies will fail, but love never fails. (II:632)

Real love, true love will never come back to you void. You already receive while you give it. (II:639)

All of My true apostles have heard My voice inside their hearts, thats why it was My love that constrained them, not just
some knowledge of duty they had in their heads... Its got to be love that motivates you, its got to be the heart. (III:2)

It's never too late for love, to start to truly love, to learn all over how to truly love, to take on a new approach of love... (III:8)

I want you to love the people you're going to come across with a special love from Me.
Love them for Me. Love them with a love that's from Me!
Be My messenger boy for them and let them know and see and feel My love for them! Just pass it on! (III:10)

Loving like a Savior, Who even prays for His enemies on the very cross upon which they nailed Him Do you want to have
that much love?
Your attitude can be, "I will accept and receive you, even if you reject me. I will always love you anyway!" That's the kind of
love the world needs. Forgiving, unconditional love! (III:14)

There are as many different aspects and angles about love, as there are to God, and that's an infinite amount. You're never
going to quit learning about love. (III:18)

There's no way you're going to be able to drill love and kindness into human heads by force or discipline. The only thing
that will teach them love is love.
562
Strive to be the best sample of love you can possibly be, for that's the only thing that will come close to the desired result
of people learning to have more love for each other.
Do the best you can to teach them to be loving by your own sample of never giving up on loving them in the first place, by
just totally giving up your life to love... (III:20)

Sometimes you can do no other but let folks go their own way, but it's always better if they know that you still love them no
matter what, just as I love you and them, too, no matter what. (III:21)

You can't expect people to be perfect, nor anywhere near perfect, nor should you hinge your love on them living up to your
expectations. You don't manage to fulfill anybody else's unrealistic expectations, either.
Is your love strong and unconditional enough to show them that they're more important to you than whatever you were
doing?
What could be more important than love, more important than showing love? (III:26)

To overcome familiarity, you must learn to see a person through My eyes, My eyes of forgiveness when they do wrong, and
My eyes of love - unconditional and unshakable.
Loving your neighbor as yourself requires some skill. It requires some effort. It takes something, and you've got to put
something into it, it costs something. It costs something to find out what makes a person tic, and how to solve a problem.
That's the challenge of love. (III:35)

It is no good to be patting yourselves on the back for a little love here and a little love there, maybe even for a lot of love,
compared to what's out there among the rest of the world.
As long as you haven't managed to love those you like least with the same kind of supernatural love that enabled Me to
love and pray for My enemies, even on the cross, it is only a portion of the vastness of the love that I would like to pour out
to you to pass on to the needy.
How far are you willing to go for the lowest of the low among your own ranks, who are desperate for love, but get so little
of it, just because they may not have in the physical what would qualify them for your accepted age group, looks group,
coolness group, or whatever?
I'm not expecting My followers to be perfect.
But I do expect you to be sincere, honest with Me and yourself, and I expect you to love. If you can't love the unlovely, or
even make an effort to do so, then why pretend to be perfect, anyway?
There's always a bit more to give and a step further to go, and as far as I can see, and judging by all that's still left to be
done, I repeat, you haven't even yet begun to love.
- Which doesn't mean you can't begin right now! Ask Me to show you in what aspects you might have been failing Me by
failing those around you! (III:38)

Gotta keep loving! Even if there is nothing evident there that would be worthy of love. Nothing could ever earn love in the
first place.
Love loves on in spite of, not because of. Keep loving on! (III:42)

Youre not quite as prolific at the art of loving yet as you would wish to be. You have to dedicate yourself more to it. You're
finding out it's a somewhat greater task than you had realized. It takes a bit more than what you have thus far been putting
into it. Allow it to grow... you can learn love and return to love.
It's not so much focusing on your own flame of love, but by really beholding the other's flame, truly appreciating it,
treasuring it, that your own heart's flame gets re-kindled too, and thus you can warm each other.
All the things that feed pride are taking away from love, from feeding that little flame inside the human soul of the one who
is so desperately waiting for love, starving for love.
So many are literally starving for the love that so few are willing to give to the needy.
The devil keeps people busy and distracted with other, really much less relevant things and activities than to love others.
You can only say in the end that you loved Me as much as you managed to love the least of these, your brethren. (III:45)

Some folks make it difficult, and you don't feel like it could be expected of you to love them. But I want to stretch your
"love muscles" to try to extend just a little bit more love, a little bit more mercy, a little more forgiveness every day.
Walking through life humbly, you'll even be able to love the worst of your enemies. (III:50)

My joy comes from caring for others. (III:58)

It's not really love, if it's not humble.

Love is love and pride is pride and ne'er the twain shall meet. (III:63)

It's got to be love. Your motivation has got to be your love for them, which comes from the love I give you for them
because you have experienced My Love, and you want to pass it on. (III:79)

Love will not go unnoticed. It won't leave folks indifferent and untouched. A love that truly originates from Me and that
seeketh none of her own, against such there truly is no law, and nothing can stand against it. (III:82)

563
There are false types of love, selfish types of love, which don't necessarily come across like love or as benevolent or
something good on the side of the receptor.
People need to realize that love is something greater than what they often consider love. "Love loves the unlovely."
Love makes you grow. It doesn't just keep you in your comfy-cozy little world right where you are. It doesn't hesitate to get
its hands dirty, to move beyond the familiar place of one's own comfort, to go out to the highways and hedges, to a strange
land in order to find there totally other perspectives of life in a needy heart or soul. It sees the need and does something
about it.
True love will never just let you stay in your own little world, stagnating in your old view.
Love is the secret, the all-powerful force that rules and guides the universe, for Love is God. It's so much greater than
anything that men could pin down and define with their finite minds, and it's definitely so much greater than some of man's
limited perceptions of it.
One has to watch out that they're not confusing love with some own selfish need for security or affection and something
that will actually stop them from experiencing the fullness of My true love in their lives.
Love will lead you to situations that are beyond your experiences, to places beyond your present limits. It will lead you
back to My arms, helplessly wondering what to do about this new challenge, and only I can give you the necessary love,
strength and wisdom to master each one.
Love will always bring you back to Me because it originates with Me in the first place. You can only know from whence it
cometh and whither it goeth if you know Me, for then you will know that it comes from Me, it originates Here, with Me, and
that's where it will also lead you again for more, another round of learning, another cycle of growth, another little bit of
wisdom gained, another season of fruit borne for My glory. (III:83)

Love challenges you to stretch your spiritual muscles toward reaching new capabilities you don't possess at present, to
stretch and expand your horizon and focus. You need to grow in love, tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness of others,
having more faith in them, and positive expectations. (III:84)

When you can look through the eyes of love, and all you see and feel is love, then you can really see. (III:87)

Without love, life doesn't really amount to much of anything. (III:89)

Isn't it so much better to show love, instead of being judgmental? (III:93)

Find some common ground! Build on the things you have in common! - Show that you're really not all that different and
that you can understand and relate, and that you love and accept them! (III:103)

Even faith is nothing without love, as 1.Corinthians 13 tells you. You can have all the faith in the world and be able to move
mountains, but if you don't have love, if you don't do whatever you do, out of love for Me, it's nothing. It means nothing
and amounts to nothing. Because I am Love, the only value that counts is love.
Even faith one day will become obsolete. Who needs faith, when you see the Kingdom, and you're right in it? But love will
be forever. Love never faileth, it will never cease, love is eternal.
My goal for you is not to have fear of man or sense of duty to constrain and spur you on, but the love for Me which grows
out of your personal connection and relationship with Me, out of receiving My love for you. Only when you can receive My
personal love for you, can My love really spur you on and become your driving force and motivation.
Instill faith in them, hope, and, of course, most of all, love. Love is the Light that gives them hope. It's the Sunshine that
brightens up their days, that puts that spark of joy back in their lives and hearts, that makes life worth living. (III:104)

Your service to Me will only be really effective if it is sparked by love.

In the long run, the only thing that really counts is love. - Love that will stretch your own mental confines and limitations.
Nothing but the Power of My Love can enable you to show forth the same forgiveness that I have shown you. (III:109)

True love is sometimes manifested simply in the effort not to be an additional distraction to the person you love, not being
one of those numerous factors that would try to distract them from their most important duties in life, which are their
duties toward Me. (III:114)

Shutting anyone out who doesn't look according to one's own standard simply doesn't live up to what I said about loving
the least of My brethren the way you would love Me.
Seeking to be loved by everyone will only leave you disappointed by everyone's incapability to live up to your unrealistic
expectations.
Your motivation has got to be love for the people.
You've got to stay on the rock bottom of the ground that what you're doing it for - whatever it is you're doing - is love, and
without love it's nothing.
Humbly do whatever you're doing for love, and let that love be clearly seen in your interaction with those around you, even
if sometimes they may seem to be harder to love than anyone far away you don't have to deal with.
How real is your love? Where are your limits?
There always comes a point of more love and understanding than you've previously had. (III:123)

You can have all wisdom, but if you don't even have the simple basics of love, you still look pretty poor.

564
All the sermons and sound advice in the world aren't as effective as a living sample of what you're preaching. The best
message conveyed is the one you convey by the way you live.
You must never allow yourself to make a god out of your work, not even for a moment. Even if people interrupt you, they
still come first. The atmosphere should always be one of "welcome anytime," instead of "not now!" You owe that kind of a
sample to the world around you, if you're going to be publishing words reminding people of the importance of love and the
meaning of life. (III:131)

Even wisdom, and all the gifts of the Spirit can turn into something bad and harmful if applied in a wrong way, a way
without love, and selfishly. That's why Paul said, without love it's all nothing. It becomes negative, instead of positive, a
nuisance instead of a blessing, a hindrance instead of a help, death instead of life. (III:141)

Its not the amount of things you do that counts, but the amount of love in the things you do.
There is no higher value, no higher Power, no higher intelligence than Love.
Love takes time to really find out and investigate about the background of a story, it doesn't judge prematurely. Love takes
the time to care. (III:147)

It is only in the amount of love you have for your enemies that you can say you truly have supernatural love that exceeds
the natural affection that even unbelievers have for each other.
Sure, it's difficult to love your enemies. Your natural tendency is to hate them, to cast them out. You'd prefer if they weren't
around. But My love doesn't always prefer what would be better for oneself.
There isn't much love for others within personal comfort. That's why the most uncomfortable place for a Christian is a
comfortable place: the more comfortable you are, the less love you have for others.
I have to allow your love to undergo tests to prove how real it is, just as I test your faith. I'm trying to find out, how real is
your love?
Your capacity to love has reached its limits, you cannot love beyond that, and this should show you where you're having to
improve; where you lack, and where you need to acquire more of what you're lacking.
Its tough when all you give to a person is only met with ingratitude, lies and selfishness. It's a tough challenge to love
someone like that... But it serves to show you that your capacities to love do have a limit, they're shockingly finite, as
you're finding out.
Make sure it's My Love that's driving you!
"The love of Christ constraineth me" is a good key verse to help you remember what it's got to be. Nothing else will do.
(III:152)

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?
Just as I said to those who listened to Me during My time on Earth, "Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes
and Pharisees...," I say to you now that unless your love exceeds that of the lifeless, loveless goers-through-the-motions,
it will be of no avail!
You can be feverishly running around and still be spiritually asleep. Only love is what brings you back to life, and what
breathes life into what you do. If there's no love in it, then forget it; it's not going to change a single person's life! Only love
gives you the amount of dedication and fire and passion that you need in order to truly begin to make a difference in
anybody's life!
Leave behind all the clichs in your head of what you think you've got to do or what you think they're expecting of you,
and focus on what I am expecting of you: I'm expecting you to love. "Thou shalt love" was My first and greatest
commandment, not "thou shalt accomplish."
I want to use you as instruments and vessels of My love wherever you come in touch with anyone who needs My love, for
only love can awaken their hearts from their spiritual slumber. They've got to see the love manifested in flesh and blood in
order to break out of their barriers brought on them by that spirit of busyness, and it's a lot more important to Me that you
be living samples of My love, than just another accomplisher.
It's true that your love and obedience are manifested to some extent in your actions, but way too many hide behind their
"actions," their work, in order to escape the much greater responsibility to love. They think they don't have to show love
anymore because of all the things they're doing already.
The level of love you maintain even among yourselves is more important than whatever you try to accomplish for Me. It
cannot be accomplishment for the sake of recognition from all the others who are just going through the motions for
similar reasons. It's got to be alive, it's got to have life and love and fire and spirit and spunk in it; otherwise it will just be
another relatively meaningless endeavor. (III:155)

If you counter every situation with love you can do no wrong, you cannot lose. (III:166)

Love sometimes requires for each individual to put their own ideas and desires on the backburner for the sake of the
common cause. (III:169)

If you've got love, then you've got what it takes, and all you really need. (III:181)

565
Correction is a part of love. It may be disguised as something else painful, but it is love nonetheless, love of a kind which
requires humility in order to be able to receive it... It requires humility to give and to receive it, and where there's no
humility, that part of love simply cannot flourish. (III:201)

Only love will last in the end, and you'll find it'll be all you'll need, even to a greater extent than you are aware of.
Love will not only replace man's ambitions for material possessions, but it will even replace the need for ambitions of a
more spiritual nature.
In fact, it will expose all other ambitions as useless and replace them as the only true and good motivation to do anything,
that ever existed.
Love, the beginning and the end. - The eternal circle. Don't toss it away! Don't despise it! Don't underestimate it or neglect
it! (III:202)

It takes a lot of love to overcome some people's pride.

It's the amount of love they feel that is going to draw them back to you: an amount of love that is sufficient to be willing to
face any kind of problems that might occur or arise through your effort to win and woo them, an amount of love that's
willing to go to any lengths for them. An amount of love that isn't going to give up on them too easily.
Do you love them enough to not let them go? To do all you possibly can in order to save them?
Love includes not giving up on them prematurely. (III:204)

Only what was done truly for love will still stand when all those bigmouths will finally have been shut up. (III:215)

Sometimes you've just got to pray for the love to see things through. (III:230)

You have the love which casteth out all fear.

It's all about cultivating that love. People grow and cultivate all kinds of things, but that's the most important thing you can
cultivate and make it grow. (III:232)

Ask Me for a supernatural portion of love - the kind of love that loves your enemies, and those who consider themselves
better than you! (III:233)

We fight with love. Our most important weapon is our sample of love. It is even more important than the truth you preach,
for without love, even the truth is nothing. The truth is love, and love is the truth.
Without love, there is no truth and can be no truth. So, first of all, you've got to bear in mind, in heart and soul the love,
without which everything becomes nothing.
More important than who is right or who is wrong is love. How great is your capacity to love? How clear is your sample of
love? Love wins against the odds.
It takes love to grasp that deeper wisdom that goes beyond that which you can figure out or understand or analyze with
your rational mind.
Handle your fellow humans with kid gloves, and most importantly with love. That's what it's all about, the A and Z of our
story. Without love, it's all worth nothing. Always keep the love factor in mind.
Your war, your effort, your fight is nothing without love. Let your truth always be spoken or written with love. That's what
makes the difference and what will change the world. Change the world with love! (III:234)

I don't look at the lack, at the failure, at the flaws; I just look at the effort, just like a man in love, who can only see the
positive about the one he loves.
Sometimes you've got to show love in spite of your skepticism, your "better judgment" of what they deserve or not,
according to how they've been behaving, and you've just got to place a wild and daring bet on love, that if you give this
love a chance, the result and outcome might yet surprise you.
When you're willing to put your own life, comfort and liberty at stake for the sake of another's happiness, that's what I'd
call living John 15:13. When you're willing to make sacrifices and cut off parts of your own supply in order to make another
person happy, and are even willing to give that person an opportunity to potentially hurt you by disappointing you in case
they will turn out not to be good stewards over the blessing you're willing to let them have, even against your own
skepticism, that's what I'd call "greater love." (III:257)

If you want to seek a truly great gift, seek the ability to love and give love. (III:263)

I'm putting it more and more into people's hearts to be able to recognize the right kind of authority, My kind of authority,
that stands in the power of the Father, the Power of Love, no artificial level of power or authority in the carnal. (III:278)

It all comes back down to love and taking time for human beings, no matter how familiar you may be with them and how
much you deem to know about them, always ready and trusting that there may be something new to find out and learn
about them that you haven't been aware of previously, not taking them for granted. (III:288)

"If any of you lack wisdom, let Him ask of God, Who upbraideth not, but giveth to any man liberally that asketh Him" (James
1:5). And that applies to love just as well. In fact, wisdom is love. Love includes a lot of things: humility, wisdom, a
sacrificial, selfless and giving spirit and attitude...
And if it's love you're lacking, well... ask for it!
566
If a lack of love is the cause for the problems of the world, then it must also be the cause for your personal problems, and
if you lack love, pray for it! What else could be worth praying for as much as for love?
When you allow your love muscles to rust, then your heart can easily turn into stone, so watch out! Don't let it happen to
you! Don't let the rivers of time, and all that comes rushing down the stream of your life, harden your heart!
Need more love? Come ask Me for it! I'll keep your heart from turning to stone, and from becoming all hard and frozen, no
matter how cold it is, or how severe life's circumstances. Always keep My homefire burning in your heart, and keep My
wheels of love turning! (III:289)

If you want to learn how to love, if you want to invest your life in love and dedicate your life to that purpose and make it a
life of love, then it's going to cost you all the time you have. (III:314)

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. (III:318)

Since love is My commandment, it becomes somewhat obligatory. Once you voluntarily, out of your own free will and
majesty of choice, made the decision to obey and follow Me, love becomes a thing you've just got to do, no matter what.
There are no legitimate excuses for not loving.
It's relatively easy to love Me, Whom you have not seen, but perceive as perfect, compared to loving those whose faults
and shortcomings you see before you all the time. The question is, how real is your love? How far does it go? How long
does it last with those less than perfect?
It's easy to love those who do you good, when they do you good. And then? Don't you think you ought to train your
capacities to love to go a little bit beyond that point? (III:320)

If love is your religion, then you have to be open for things that may not belong to your primary circle of your top favorite
things of interest...
You have to trust that some of these new influences on your life come from My hand also. (III:330)

Sometimes, love consists of the ability to say the word "no."

Love isn't always saying "yes" whenever your child wants something. Love is saying "no" when they want something
that's going to be bad, or even only "2nd best" for them compared to the eternal rewards they're forgoing by not choosing
the very best. (III:331)

Love is a stronger force than a hot head...

Love is something steadier than that attitude of, "I'm gonna showem..."
Love simply does it, while the rest of them are still talking about it.
Love is the trump card. Love is the winner. Love really does it. Love renders. Love is it.
There's nothing like love. Anything else looks pale in comparison. There's just nothing like it, period. (III:336)

If you had the faintest clue how loved you are, you would know without a doubt that it's worth it all. (III:348)

You've got to let love permeate your actions, your speech, your gestures, and yes, even your looks, your facial expression.
Is your face expressing love for the ones around you? (III:349)

Love is the only right thing that spurs you on in the right way and enables you to hold on and fight the good fight in the
right way until the very end. (III:354)

If what you're doing doesn't have love in it, it won't inspire anyone.
No matter what you do, it's gotta have love in it!
How can you do My work - the work for the One Who is Love - without love? How can a loveless tree bring forth fruits of
love?
Never allow the love to run dry.
What really qualifies anyone as a child of Mine is the amount of love they possess.
There isn't any excuse for a lack of love if you know where to get it. It only shows that other things were more important to
you than Me and My love, and that, precisely, is sin. (III:358)

If to love is My greatest commandment, then it's obvious that that's what the devil will fight the most from keeping you
doing. What he hates most and tries to stop the most is the love you have among each other and for others. He wants to
stop all the loving from going on, and that's been his goal from the very beginning, and as you can tell, he's been very
successful at it.
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"
He uses every sin available to keep you from loving. Actually, that's the aim of sin: to keep you from loving; to "miss the
goal" is sin, and the goal is love.
Failing to love equals sin. Sin is, when anything other than love becomes more important to you. (III:368)
567
I want your love to be like Mine: forgiving, longsuffering, always embracing and accepting, never rejecting, never casting
anyone out (III:372)

If you cant do it on your own, if you dont find it within you to love, focus on Me, look unto Me, ask Me, and I will give you
the necessary strength and love you need.
When you cant come up with the necessary love for someone, try to love them for My sake, the sake of another person
that stands between you and them, or simply for the sake of peace, harmony and unity.
If you cant love them for their own sake, try loving them for My sake! I can give you the grace and the necessary love and
patience for them you need.
There is never a valid excuse for not having the necessary love, strength or grace, the necessary anointing, or whatever
you need, because anything you lack in the natural, in order to do the job I have commissioned you to do, you can ask Me
for! (III:373)

Its the necessary step: away from independence and self-sufficiency toward love, and just allowing yourself to totally fall
into the arms of love and recognize the Love of your life, and just say yes to it, letting fall aside all the other factors that
may have motivated you so far, your ambitions and dreams of achievements, etc.
All that matters then is love, and once you get there, you will also have the necessary love and patience for others,
because nothing else will matter: Time wont matter anymore, so there wont be any need to become impatient. Money
wont matter anymore, so there wont be any need to worry. Your ego wont matter anymore, so there wont be any need for
defending it
What it takes is letting go. Letting go of all that other stuff, all else besides love. Its really the only ingredient that will
ensure your success for Me.
Youve got to make sure that thats your motivation and the thing that rules you, your goal: love. (III:394)

Imagine a world where everyone is finally going to have love in their hearts for each other, instead of the cold indifference
and selfishness that rules the world right now!
So, before you can even pray for Me to open their eyes, You must pray for Me to touch their hearts to want to see, and to
want the truth; to be open for love and light and life
Break the vicious cycle of the usual run of things by doing something totally unusual: love the unlovely, the unworthy of
love, and thus change and touch their hearts, and you will change destiny in the long run! Thats why love is the most
powerful weapon in the universe. (III:410)

Why do all things work together for good for those who love God? - Because they are obeying the greatest of all
commandments, which is to love the Lord thy God. Because thereby theyre fulfilling the greatest and most important
and essential part of the Law of Love, and just like any other law, it works both ways: it has an effect on you if you keep it.
It also will have an effect on you if you try to break it or defy it, which is why the world is in such a mess, and people get
themselves into individual messes.
Once you get back in line with the balance of keeping My Law of Love, things will start working out alright again. Its the
difference between blessing and curse, between walking the high road of living for God and others, and the low road of
living for self.
Of course, seemingly bad things will continue to happen even if you keep the Law of Love according to the best of your
abilities, because the devil will attack you, test you and try to dissuade you. But when you truly love Me, you will even see
those things differently, and youll know that sufferings can be a blessing in disguise, and pain can be a way to partake of
what I have gone through for each of you out of love.
Once you truly love, you wont necessarily shun the pain anymore, but you eventually get to the point where you accept
and welcome hardship and adversity, and embrace them as friends who will make you stronger on your path.
Part of loving Me is manifested in loving the truth, and not settling for any comfortable half-truth and compromise with the
truth, such as the easy-way-out Pre-Tribulation-Rapture doctrine, etc.
The treasure that you find may not necessarily always be personal happiness, nor the fulfillment of all your wildest dreams
and expectations, nor all the love you may seek in this world, but the treasure one can find, if theyre interested, is the
truth.
Thats the connection between truth and love. If you love Me, you will love My truth, and the extent to which you will love
My truth and will refuse to settle for half-lies and compromises will show how much you really love Me.
Those who bend the truth or accept the bendings of the truth of others, in reality only do so not out of any love for Me, but
out of love for themselves. (III:433)

My Love for you is not conditional. I want you to be sure of that no matter what.
If theres one aspect in that Ive changed between the Old and the New Testaments, it is that it has become more
abundantly clear that love really is the way. And while that love may have been manifested primarily through a firm hand of
discipline in the Old Testament, having become a Man and one of you and walking among you did have quite an impact,
and has changed a lot. (III:434)

Love is the most important thing, and that includes having patience with your children and loved ones, even if theyre not
perfect according to your ideas and standards. (III:436)

568
Ive been trying to get you into wanting and recognizing the Real Thing: not to have a relationship with Me for whatevers
in it for you, because thats just not the way genuine happiness is found, not to do things you know please Me only for the
benefits you might reap from it, but to really develop a love thats real, and that is so much more than a feeling. It creates a
whole new way of being in you, of doing things, of seeing things, and a new way of thinking and perception. (III:438)

Love is like a flame you have to guard well, and like a spring of water that youve got to guard well from the poisoning of
the enemy. Youve got to keep your love pure, and not allow the enemy to sneak in and let him usurp the place of love with
lust. (III:439)

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, isnt exactly the epitome of true love, either. (III:441)

Have love that is greater than others lack of love!

If I wouldnt have had more love for people than they had for Me, none of you would be where you are right now.
Youve just got to have more love for people than they have for you, you cannot just reflect whatever amount of affection
they might manage to eke out for you.
Walk in My footsteps, the path of a Man Who was despised and rejected. As far as they were concerned, I wasnt anything
desirable, no one to look up to. But I had enough love to look beyond their lack of love for Me, enough love to love them
anyway, in spite of their natural lack of it.
Sometimes the problem is that you may think that you have what it takes, but in reality you ought to pray for more love; for
greater love is necessary to carry you successfully through this episode of your life. (III:447)

Pride isnt the ticket to Heaven or happiness, love is; and love is synonymous with humility.
As soon as you start getting lifted up in pride and you start thinking youre even slightly better than your fellowman, the
first thing out the door is your love for them. And with your ability to love, your happiness also goes.
So, what would you rather be? Proud of who you are and miserable and unhappy, or happily, humbly loving? (III:453)

How do you measure love? Can you truly measure love by the amount of emotion and tears one man can evoke out of
others by a speech he is holding? Maybe. But the way I measure love is not only by the words a man speaks, but by his
actions. The daily living together, in spite of personal differences, is a much greater proof of love to Me. Now, there may
still be friction within those efforts of love, and that friction may sometimes make you wonder, Where is all the love? but
its still a lot more than most other people, groups and denominations and churches even attempt to do.
You look at the missing button, I look at the vest. You stare at the hole, I see the donut. You see the lack of love, I see the
effort made that amounts to more love and greater love than I can find anywhere else at present in this world. (III:454)

Is it truly love, and nothing but love that motivates you to win souls to Me? Because it is only love, and nothing but love
that will enable you to do that, after all.
Id rather have you so in love with Me that I wont have to persuade you any longer to do anything for Me, but youll gladly
do it out of sheer love for Me.
You havent really yet begun to fathom the greatness and depth of My Love, which is also one reason why you havent
really yet begun to love!
There is so much more to love than you have even begun to fathom, that compared to all there is yet to it, you havent even
yet begun to love!
The reason you havent even yet begun to love is that you havent even yet begun to receive more than a tiny fraction of
My love for you.
My relationship with you has always been tainted by some fear of what I might do to you in case you dont do this or that.
That is fear, not love. Perfect love casts out all such fears.
Only love can do the trick. Only love ever will. If you havent got love, you havent got what it takes. Only love casts out
and overcomes all the fears that you need to overcome in order to serve Me successfully when fear will rule the world.
Only love can liberate you from them, and free you to the extent where you have nothing to lose, and thus, nothing to be
afraid of! (III:456)

I want to liberate you from the notion that My Love for you is dependent on anything you might do or not do.
Im not in love with what you do for Me, but with who you are.
Its not the blind type of love that mothers often have for their children, which sometimes fails to see the areas in which
their child would badly needs discipline. I know your impurities will be taken care of by the Father.
But all I see is who you are in the spirit, and the Father has put that Love in My heart for you that makes Me see only the
good; I hardly notice the bad, which I know is only temporal, anyway.
Trust in My Love for you wholeheartedly! You can rely on it. For that is what you are: loved. (III:457)

If you focus on Me and the vast amount of Love I have for everybody, My Love enables you to even love your enemies.
Receiving more love from Me can be compared to recharging a battery. It takes time. You dont just pray, Lord, give me
more love, and zap, youre refilled. You have to hang in there, praying for the person you need more love for, and wait
while I recharge your capacities of love for them and others. (III:458)

A part of love a very important part, in fact, is granting people the right to be themselves, even if that means, dreadfully
different from you.
569
Thats the kind of love with which I love you. I dont just love you in order to get you to do things for Me or do things My
way.
Thats another aspect of the Law of Love: you grant people the right to make their own choices, just as God does. You
wont withdraw from them in resignation when they choose a different path, but you keep on loving them anyway; always
ready to receive them back with arms wide open (III:459)

When it comes to the art of love, man often finds himself at his own limits very soon. The most tragic part about it is that
the vast majority isnt even aware of the fact that this is what life is all about, and that they are doing poorly at the most
important task in life, unaware that there is any need for improvement.
They know somethings wrong, but they dont figure it could be something as seemingly simple as that theres love
missing. Seemingly simple, because, as youre finding out, love isnt all that simple, and doesnt come all that easy to
selfish human hearts (III:466)

You can only learn how to love others properly if you first love Me by tuning into Me sufficiently for Me to show you how to
love them!
Its the differences that avoid your merely falling in love with your own images of yourselves in each other. If all you really
love about the other person is just their similarities with you, then what else is it but narcism? And thats what some
people claim, love amounts to.
Well, prove them wrong by loving the totally other, the person who is totally different from you and has totally different
points of view, and opinions that differ strongly from yours. (III:469)

True love is always based on truth, no deceptions needed. True love is totally open, nothing to hide. (III:470)

Love is still the most important thing, not good works. (III:473)

You must not push people away with the truth, but attract them to it by always wrapping it up in love and genuine concern
for their souls. (III:478)

All you need is love, and if youre not going to get it with Me, where are you going to find it?
I am the only One Who can fulfill that need for total love in each person, and all you are responsible for is to make that
clear to them and give Me to them, so that I can do the rest in their lives. (III:481)

You cant make love dependent on accomplishments, fulfilled obligations and expectations. People have got to know that
theyre loved unconditionally in order to come up with the inspiration and love to do anything that counts and matters in
the first place. (III:489)

Love is something that you do, totally regardless of whether anyone deserves your love or not. Its simply My first and
greatest and only commandment, thats all. You do it because youve got to. Its like breathing in order to stay alive.
You love in order to stay alive spiritually. You stop loving and you die.
Just focus on this, your greatest, if not single responsibility each day: to love.
You cant let up on love! (III:490)

You are supposed to show love for as long as you can, and as much as you can. Once you see they rejected that love for
good, then they are basically cursed already by their own decisions, and will bring events upon their heads that will either
make them repent eventually, or, if they continue to close their hearts, theyll eventually go down into the pit without you
adding any efforts to their misfortune.
Its no great art or feat to love those who love you. The proof of the pudding, how much youre really capable of love,
comes especially when its down to loving those who dont love you, but seem to oppose and reject you. Loving those
requires a skill in the art of loving that not everyone is master of, and it requires the supernatural, superhuman type of love
that only I can give and teach and equip you with.
Training yourself in the art of loving in the face of hatred, rejection and lack of love will also sharpen your skills and
abilities to deal with unloving behavior on behalf of your loved ones, and instead of going on the defensive right away and
withdrawing and reacting negatively and allowing their lack of love to produce more lack of love in you for them, you can
learn to counter that natural process and stop the chain reaction and vicious cycle, and allow love to continue and go on,
in spite of the adverse circumstances. (III:491)

In order to teach people to not just love their own kind, you must give an example of loving those who are different from
you to begin with, make an effort to relate to them, be a sample of someone who is accepting and understanding of those
who are quite different in views and manners from yourself.
How can you ever teach them better unless you first show love for them in the first place, and acceptance of their howbeit
so very different ways?
Youve got to give them a chance to accept and get to know and absorb and assimilate My ways. Once they got the
chance, the ball is in their court and its all up to them. But until then, its your responsibility to love them just the way
they are, just as I have loved you. (III:498)

Love is granting others the freedom to develop their personal ministries and interests (III:507)

570
Learn to love unconditionally, forgivingly, and not just according to some reward system of tit for tat, Ill be good to you
only if youll be good to me! (III:519)

If you haven't learned to love your enemies, even those of your own household, then you haven't learned much to pass on.
(III:526)

Just because somebody is failing or doing wrong, or making mistakes, it shouldnt stop you from loving them. I knew that
Peter was going to deny Me, and yet I never stopped loving him (III:529)

Putting loving your enemies into practice is going to be essential in the days to come. As the enemies of My Cause all
around you will increase, its expedient for you to learn how to handle them and deal with them. (III:530)

True love is the only kind of love that will stand the tests of time. It shows strength that they who live for the temporal dont
possess.
If you wont be moved by others wrong choices, it will also mean that your attitude toward them wont be much affected,
your love for them will remain strong and unconditional
How much do you delve into another persons soul and really grab hold of who they are?
How much do you really make an effort to love the least of these My brethren, knowing that that is how I will know and
be able to tell how much youve loved Me? (III:531)

The first part of the two great Commandments is to love Me, because only once a good, strong and healthy relationship
with Me is established, can you also really and successfully love others the way you should and the way they ought to be
loved.
Come to Me, and Ill teach you how to love from the heart!
Thats the meaning behind love your neighbor as thyself: realize that they are the same as you and deserve and need the
same kind of love and affection and attention and care as you would want for yourself. (III:541)

Allow Me to love you, and youll love Me in return and will be able to love others the way you should as a result! (III:549)

Even though God knew all about the sinful state of the world and about what was in mens hearts, yet He loved the world
so much that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Father has so much love that He even gave them Me, the One He loved above all, and allowed Me to cross the one
barrier which men consider to be the final, ultimate barrier, death, only to prove that it is possible to overcome it, that
death is not a final thing, as some believe and teach, but that love is stronger than death.
You dont have to be nitpicking at their faults anymore, or be stingy with your affection toward them You can just love in
spite of, for that is what grace does.
Grace loves in spite of - undeservedly and for no special merit. (III:553)

Learning how to love is the art that it pays most to become skilled in. Its the very art of life itself. Anyone who has failed to
learn the skills of love hasnt really grasped what life is all about. Its more important than any other skill you can learn.
Theres no way around learning how to love, if you want to consider yourself My disciple and make any kind of headway
and progress for Me and My Cause at all.
You cant stop advancing at it. Its simply something youve got to learn.
Loving others is our cross.
Its easy to love perfect people, anybody can do that.
In real life, nobodys perfect, nor are there always clear-cut distinctions between the good and the bad. Everybody does
some bad, and just about everybody does some good. Even the devils people are coming up with doing something good,
occasionally, even though they may be doing it in order to advance his kingdom.
To love means to look past the temporal state someone is in, and look beyond, at their true potential, one they may not
even be aware of themselves yet. (III:557)

Dont give up prematurely on people! People who refuse to give up prematurely on others wont let them go before they
have tried all they could
To you it may seem like a waste of effort and time and energy. To them its simply love. Love That Will Not Let Me Go.
There have got to be those who have My kind of love for people that wont let them go, at least not before theyve tried
everything to save them, to rescue them and to keep them from going astray.
There are certain situations when love is to hope with them even when there doesnt seem to be much hope from the
rational point of view. (III:563)

No matter how rough it gets, you can still count on Me, on My Love and on your salvation. Youre never going to be able to
lose it, no matter what.
I love you no matter what youre going to do or say. I wont condemn you.
I know youre far from perfect, and what effect does this fact have on My Love for you? None. (III:564)

That which is truly of My Spirit is always bathed in and engendering love.

Love is like the zero behind the other nine gifts: You add that love factor and you multiply your gift by ten.
Love is not something that is acquired via knowledge from the head.
571
Open your heart, your spirit to Mine, and let Me fill it with good and supernatural things that you cant explain or figure out
with your brain, but that are going to spur you on to action!
Theres more to you than your mind. I want you to open up your whole being unto Me and love Me with all your heart and
soul, too, not just with your mind! (III:575)

What youll amount to is not so much in what youve done, as how youve done it, in what spirit, whether people will have
good, positive and loving memories of you while you were doing it, or whether you caused them pain by neglecting them
in all your feverish doing it.
Faith without works is dead, but works without love are dead, too. At least as far as those around you are concerned who
you are neglecting on behalf of your works. Theyd rather have a little bit of your love, instead of your works. (III:576)

Make it a rule to keep your life, your mind, your heart open for your loved ones, no matter what it is you do.
Be there completely when you greet and welcome them. Dont treat them like 2nd class citizens.
You have to make a conscious effort to keep people above your projects youre working on.
People are what its all about.
Its a matter of dedicating your life more to people, more to love, more actually becoming involved in the art of loving.
If you become primarily a lover of people, then you will learn to say the right kind of words, and to deliver your message in
a loving way, and you wont make anyone feel hurt or left out or locked out. (III:577)

Its all about learning how to love and being a light on someone elses path. (III:596)

If anything, We want to prove that Our thing is better than that rat race slavery the System is all about, and when We talk
professionalism, Were talking about professionally, whole-heartedly, loving others and trying to help them find happiness.
(III:600)

The art lies in not measuring others with their same standards, but loving your enemies, to show love to those who have
no love for you.
Its easy to love those who are just like you or are on your side. One reason you find so few who are on your same
wavelength is so that you learn to love those who are not.
How do you love your enemies? Look past the differences and seek some common ground. (IV:2)

Love your enemies is the message, and a fairly important one, because this is what will truly make you stand apart as
true Christians, as opposed to those who sanction killing their supposed enemies.
I need you to be a sample of that miraculous, outstanding, super-human love of Mine that even enables one to love their
enemies. (IV:4)

I dont only want you to learn to see and think as I do, but also to feel and to love as I do.
To love like We do: not just giving up on someone when you see that they are turning their backs on you, but to continue
loving them unconditionally in spite of their choices and preferences for the world, even if its very painful. (IV:17)

Thats the goal Not tons of arguments in favor of your point, but enough love to win a soul, even if you never win an
argument.
Its not about showing off how smart you are, but about loving others, and in the process youll find out, that thats the
smartest thing youve ever done.
Love may turn out to be even more effective than the raw truth! (IV:19)

What youre here to learn: How to sell the truth to people who dont want it. The least appreciated and wanted
commodity in the universe. The most rejected treasure of all times.
The only way youre going to be able to sell it is by speaking the truth in love, love being the important factor here, even
above the truth factor.
Without love, youre never going to be able to speak the truth successfully. Thats why you have to learn to love people in
spite of knowing the truth about them, truth that theyre not even aware of themselves
Does it sound like a worthy endeavor to you? Learning to love people in spite of their faults and weaknesses?
They cant handle the truth without first having received the assurance of unconditional love. (IV:25)

You simply cant lose by loving even your enemies you always win.
You simply never lose by loving and doing the loving thing. Whereas a lack of love for a Christian is always a disadvantage
and a sin, because it is My commandment for you to love others.
It is your responsibility to love, regardless of feelings.
My commandment to love stands stronger, has greater emphasis and priority than your discernment.
The Enemy is extremely clever and knows just what it takes to get you to neglect your greatest and most important duty of
all. What he specially fights, is love, and he will even use your gifts of the Spirit to get you to fail to love, if he can, just as
he used My own Word to tempt Me.
If it was My love and power that saved you, then who are you to doubt that I can save them, too? (IV:26)

The reason Im allowing you to go through hurtful experiences is not only for you to put yourself into My shoes and
become a partaker of My sufferings, but for you to learn to love as unconditionally as I do.
572
The unconditional love I have for you I want you to extend to others as well, so that they wont feel judged by you, nor
criticized or critically viewed, but just loved. If you can convey to people the notion, the feeling and the confidence of you
are loved, then youre there where I want you, and thats the moment theyll begin to follow you, because love is the only
truth worth following.
When love truly becomes the essence of what spills over from your life into that of others, then youll have learned the
lessons I want you to learn and youll have made the progress I want you to make. (IV:45)

Whatsoever ye have done unto the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
The way you treat them, youre also treating Me.
You know that sometimes you could be more loving.
You cannot judge people by their flaws, or treat them according to what in your mind they may be lacking. Unconditional
love is something else. (IV:52)

Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. That pretty much wraps it all up and
reveals the sort of quality and sacrificial, unselfish attitude a true friend according to My book must have.
Its part of learning to love unconditionally to allow those you love to make bad decisions and go down paths that you
know wont spell out anything positive for them, and yet try to keep loving them throughout their folly and expect them
with open arms to come back to their senses someday. (IV:58)

Life is all about learning forgiveness, the very basics of true love
Anybody can love the perfect. Love becomes real when its about loving in spite of the hurt theyre causing you. Love
keeps on loving even in the face of the total absence of love on the part of the other one Thats the kind of love that
never fails, that never ceases, never stops loving the supernatural love of God, the greatest and deepest of all realities.
(IV:59)

Its got to be love that moves you. If you dont have enough love for the people, then at least make sure youre getting
enough love from Me so that you can love Me in return, and I will also give you enough love for the people in the process.
(IV:69)

I often give you what you want, rather than what you need sometimes, because I most of all want you to know that I love
you and to be sure of My Love for you above everything else.
Once thats established, I know I can also give you a little needed correction, because youll be able to handle it then and
also receive it as a token of My Love.
As in all things, its the sample that counts so much more than the sermon.
Its the love that matters, more than any amount of message you may give without it. (IV:76)

Its easy to love perfect people, or people who are unselfish and giving, and who practically live to do you good. Its a little
harder to love the selfish, the less deserving.
The value system of the System is still drilled into you: you only get something in return for something. But thats where
My nature differs. I give where nothing has been given before. I also love the undeserving. (IV:77)

Thats the way love works: It may not sound or seem very rational, but then love is and has always been something that
eludes the rational mind, and goes way beyond that.
Give Me a chance in spite of the protests of your rational mind or its sheer inability to handle Me and the entire concept for
which I stand, the concept of love! (IV:100)

Love just like the Holy Spirit has a mind on its own and does things contrary to natural expectation.
It comes and often goes where its least expected.
All you can really do is yield and flow with it.
Love will come to you when it is the time, when you are ready for love.
When love comes, it will have been well worth the wait.
Sometimes it has been there all along, and you simply didnt recognize it, because your mental picture of love was such
that you expected some big, flashy emotional bang with it, but its not so much the impact and size of the bang that
defines love, as the persistency of it, the endurance and its continuity, even through rough times (IV:116)

You dont really manage to truly and unselfishly love another human, unless you spend sufficient time learning from Me
how to love. Your love will always be tainted with ulterior, sometimes well-hidden, selfish motives, unless you truly come
to Me and learn of Me how to live and love unselfishly, sacrificially, and how to give of yourself, instead of seeking to take
or receive from another.
What most people consider and call love is still a far cry from what love really is and is supposed to be
Human love is so often a selfish thing, and it really takes an effort to learn to love unselfishly, the way I loved and still do
the way the Father loves
Sometimes in order to take the first steps on that road of learning how to truly love, you first must recognize where its not
at, and what love is not, that artificial, poor counterfeit version of love, the way it is advertised by the movie industry and
the world.

573
That which people usually call love is merely a poor counterfeit of what love really is. Its like a drop in a bucket compared
to the vastness of the oceans of Gods love, and it would be recommendable to make sure youve tapped that ocean,
instead of trying to get by on your own little droplet
The human, finite version of love is pointing inwards, toward oneself, and seeks to draw to oneself, like a magnet, and is
geared toward receiving. The love of God the Real Thing like the sun, is pointing and focusing and radiating outward,
and is geared to giving and ever keeping on giving, it never stops.
Human love only gives a little in hopes to receive back, and the selfish nature of many people is thus that you try to get
away with giving less all the time in hopes of receiving more in return. But thats unrealistic, and naturally bound to fail.
The true recipe for well-functioning love is to seek to learn to give more all the time, the way God does, and that is only
possibly by learning how to do it from the Master Teacher Himself, and by loving Him, and letting Him love you and really
fill you with the necessary love to pass on to others.
Thats why the concept of Loving Jesus is so important: you dont really know what youre talking about concerning love
until youve done it, and until youve really done it with the One Who really knows what Hes talking about!
Compared to what true love is all about, you havent even yet begun to love.
You still havent really yet begun to love Me!
Lets face it: you dont know how to love. So let Me teach you and show you how it goes.
Now that youre realizing that youre not quite as good at this thing called love as you thought, let Me teach you a few
things about it! (IV:118)

The less you need and the less you are concerned with your own acquisition of certain things, the more time you will have
to concentrate on giving, instead of whats in it for you and being on the receiving end, and thats when you start learning
how to really love, and thus, really live.
Some people come up with their own carnal, counterfeit version of giving, because they discovered that there is a
certain reward and satisfaction in making others happy, but since they dont really know anything about the true and
spiritual, eternal standards of love and happiness, they dont know how to give the truly good things to people, but can
actually wind up giving them things that are bad for them, and thus make matters worse, like some of those grandmothers
with good intentions who spoil their grandchildren rotten, or people who try to comfort people with their wrong,
intellectual kind of advice. (IV:119)

I specialize in those who plainly cant make it through life without Me. I have a special love for those who really and
desperately need Me.
Isnt love a worthier cause to live for than money?
They all say its impossible. How would you like to be the one to prove them wrong? (IV:136)

What should really be the driving force in anyones life is love, and once you make that the supreme theme and cause you
base your life on, it slowly but surely helps you to overcome all your weaknesses and sins, your fears and selfishness that
would otherwise make your life go the way of all flesh, a life not really worth living. (IV:149)

The one thing youll always want to convey and get across is love. Love is what spells success according to My book. If
you give love, you cant lose.
Thats why love is a theme that never turns sour or runs out of steam. Its truly what people want and wish they could find.
(IV:152)

I want you to make some kind of effort and shoot for the goal of being able to love unconditionally. (IV:162)

What really counts and really matters is the amount of love you have. (IV:166)

With the world changing as rapidly as it is, its simply safest and best to stay on the foundation that is always right and
applicable in each situation, and always appropriate, and thats the language of love.
Its never the wrong time to do or say a loving thing, and what the world needs now, just as it did 30 or 40 years ago, is
love, and its still the one thing nobody can get enough of, because theres less of it around than ever
So, while the truth is important, and delusion must be destroyed in order to build a firm foundation of truth on one hand,
its equally, if not more important that its clear that that foundation is a foundation of love. (IV:167)

Only love really edifies and builds something in you that will last.
Knowledge will cease, but love never will. The acquisition of more knowledge will become obsolete someday, whereas love
will always be in process. Thats the goal, so why not steer your life in that direction, the direction of love? Steer the boat
of your life in the direction of love, not the acquisition of values that can be measured in numbers.
Thats one quality of love that makes it unique and different from just about any other gift or value: It cannot be measured
in numbers. For how will you measure love?
Only the Father can measure the sum of your acts and deeds of love.
The world tells and gives you a million reasons why everything else matters and is so much more important And youre
torn between the two on a daily basis: the standard of love, Gods standard on one hand, and the worlds standards on the
other.
The worlds standards claim and shout and provoke, How will you make a name for yourself today? What will you achieve
and accomplish today? What will you do in order to fulfill your duty to mankind?

574
While the voice of love will call, How much will you love today? How much will you allow yourself to be loved, and how
much of that love are you going to pass on? How determined are you to make that your goal in life? Instead of all
those other things.
Its a battle. Your mind never stops reasoning, But this thing, and the other! And sure, they all have their degree of
importance. But none of them are as important as the standard and measure of love.
Weigh all you do and are going to do by that standard of love, and learn to judge things by the criteria of love. See things
through the eyes of love, and make it your yard stick by which you measure everything, even the cost and price and value
of your daily endeavors. (IV:200)

Love is faithful. It doesnt flare up in the face of someone you claim to love the minute something less than desirable
occurs and give them the blame for it.
It doesnt treat people unfairly. It takes both the ups and downs, and doesnt just remain loyal during the good times.
You learn to take the ups and downs, the bad times along with the good times.
Once youve got your issues with Me straightened out, and youve got the basis of love straight with Me, then you will also
start making progress in your relationship with others, and those you are supposed to reach for Me. (IV:205)

Love is still the main thing.

What you need to realize is that the essence of the information at the core of creation is love. Its loving information, to try
to put it somewhat into human terms.
The information is not the most important part of it, but love is. The information may be the more or less visible or
comprehensive part of it, while love is the large space in-between those particles that can be perceived, but love is still the
gist of it.
It is love that initiates the information. (IV:235)

Love, especially shown by those who are supposed to be more mature, and especially in situations when it may be
unwarranted or perhaps undeserved, is definitely not a weakness, but can be a force for the better and helpful in turning
things toward a better development.
Remember the love and understanding and goodness and patience you did receive and experience from My hand and
heart, personally, and then try to extend toward them some of that love, tolerance and acceptance that you have known
from Me.
Dont treat them according to the harshness and lack of love you may have experienced at the hand of your fellow
humans, but treat them according to the kindness and love and patience you have experienced from Me! (IV:240)

Love is the answer. (IV:270)

Sometimes you couldnt possibly imagine how I could love anyone as bad as them, but I do anyway. Im sure there have
been folks tempted to think the same about you.
But who is anyone to judge whether I might manage to love them or not?
I assure you, you cannot possibly measure My capabilities to love. You cannot possibly measure My love for anyone,
much less restrict or limit it! That would be the most ridiculous attempt at anything you could possibly ever make!
And if you can accept the fact that I love them, why not join Me and come over to My side, and let Me show you their good
sides and help you to love them a little bit better as well?
Some folks are hard to love for some people. Thats what makes life, and My great commandment of loving others a
challenge. At least you cant ever say trying to love others was boring.
The challenge is not to prove who is stronger. Its more like, who is wiser, and wise enough to give in, wise enough to
show love, even though, perhaps, in some peoples opinions, undeserved?
But then, who ever really deserved anything in the first place?
Why not extend wisdom, and let it become love, by not just letting it serve your own advantage, but letting others profit
from it, too, even if seemingly totally undeserved?
Thats what My entire sacrifice on the cross for mankind was all about: love totally undeserved.
If love were something that would have to be earned or deserved first, it could hardly be as great as were always making it
out to be, right? It could hardly be God the stuff that the Father Himself identifies His nature with, as do I.
How much have you really learned about love, and how to love? How much have you really begun to love? Its never too
late to start! (IV:284)

Im trying to stretch and train the muscles of your love, taking you to the extremes and limits of your present tolerance
level, and trying to take you a bit further: how much more can you take? How much more can I stretch your capacity to
love?
Presently, youre reaching the limits of your tolerance and love for people rather quickly. There isnt much reserve, not a
lot of flexibility, and your ability to stretch doesnt go very far. Your own capabilities come to an end pretty soon.
You need My supernatural aid and love to help you do this. (IV:286)

Unrequited love remains unrequited, because its selfish love, fixated on what you want from the person you love, and
your expectations from them, instead of turning around and being the giver to someone.
Love is not an addiction. While it is something everybody needs, it should not take the form of an addiction where you just
wait for your next fix or dose to make you happy. It ought to be something you give and receive in return. (IV:289)

575
Being perfectly loving also means to be totally opposed to hatred, and this includes a certain determination against
incorrigibly hateful forces. (IV:301)

Love is the most important thing, and what this war is all about, and its also the greatest weapon at your disposal.
Your goal is world conquest through love, and in some ways thats a tougher task than hunting down evil spirits
Its all about being a loving force and a force for love in this world, making a difference in a greater way than just
eliminating or confronting certain evils
Love is the goal, and so that means fighting to eliminate your own hostility toward the type of people you may initially feel
like not jibing with, and putting up with their quirks for loves sake It means a break from the usual tit for tat game the
world is playing, and noticeably making a difference for love.
All the spiritual insight in the world wont cut the cake where that point isnt grasped. Without love, its all just another
dead bunch of religiosity that the world would frankly be better off without.
If love isnt in it, its nothing. (IV:307)

Everything in this life is only temporal. Clinging to any part of it is really futile. Only the things that have been done in love,
and the time youll have invested in learning from Me and your fellowship with Me are what you can keep from all that
water under the bridge
The Father and I have advocated voluntary love from the beginning, which is the only real form of love anyway.
Love has got to be voluntary, born of freedom of choice, and not brought about by coercion, in order to be real (IV:308)

Love is more than this codependency that humans create for each other in order to make sure their needs are mutually
fulfilled and taken care of.
Thats what makes idolatry out of their obsession and passions, which causes them to fail to comply with the Law of Love.
My Love within you is the only right and effective motivation that can ever keep you from sinning
Im teaching you to discern between the devils fakes and the Real Thing, including his fake versions of love. Getting to
know the Real Thing when it comes to love is really what its all about, and it often takes people years and years of their
lives before they find out what love really is, as opposed to all the clichs and feelings that they associated with it.
The truth is that it can only really happen real love if you let Me be the Central Exchange of whats going on between
you.
People want to be loved for themselves, not for what they do or for their manifestations of love. Love can really only come
about if there is love in the first place, it couldnt just be based on actions and works, just like it is with Salvation. Just as a
religion that is based on works cannot be true, so a love that is based and dependent on works cannot be, either, and, isnt
love what youve always claimed to be your religion, after all?
Theres a lot yet to learn about real love, isnt there? (IV:313)

If you put other gods before the God of Love, then you will naturally also wind up having less genuine love to give,
because that love only comes from that sincere and intimate relationship with Me, which is not limited to your
conversations with Me, nor does it end there, but it should rather only begin there and result in some visible
manifestations as seen in your actions. (IV:315)

Youve got to let love happen; youve got to trust Me that I will bring the right person along in My own good time, instead of
feverishly trying to find one yourself. (IV:317)

The greatest and purest form of love entails sacrifice and laying down your own life for the sake of another, foregoing your
personal needs and desires in favor of the well-being of another. (IV:319)

Just be a sample of My Love!

Show yourself to be a good, diligent and thorough student of life, and become a master of the most important art there is
to learn in it: love. (IV:328)

If you want love that never fails, never ceases, never dies, you must turn to Me. As far as your fellow mortals are
concerned, it always pays to give love to them, but when it comes to your expectations of them you must always keep in
mind that their reservoirs to give will always be limited and finite, just as your own. (IV:337)

If you allow Me to use you to whatever extent, I will do it Not use you in any negative way, just in order to bring some
of My Sunshine and Love to other people, thats all. (IV:341)

I love you unconditionally. And if you have feelings of self-worth because you know youre unconditionally loved by
Someone Who will never leave you, shouldnt that give you a lasting boost and a strong Source of strength to lean on?
(IV:351)

The most important factor is love, its not the differences (IV:352)

Life as I have intended it is very much about relationship. I am very much about relationship. An easier, less formal
word for it is love. Im all about love, and I am Love, and I want your lives to be all about love. Including inter-human love!
Its not all about Me and Me wanting you to love Me.
I want love to be everywhere and to permeate every sphere of life, and it shall, eventually.
576
Love makes you a member of the human community, and teaches you endless lessons on the one thing that life is all
about. (IV:372)

True love is the only thing; the only fuel and power that can make a relationship last forever.
So you must really fight in order to preserve that spark of true love.
I can allow this love to take such a significant role in your life because it is My Love for you; it is the manifestation of My
Love for you, and part of your reward for your love and faithfulness toward Me.
You found out that what you were looking for ultimately - true love - was found by the meek and quiet way of having a
loving relationship with Me, based on daily communications with Me, allowing Me to faithfully implant My seeds into your
heart and life and this love is the fruit that is born and springing forth from it now.
The only thing you can truly never ever lose is My Love. And if its My Love that is whats fueling your love for each other,
then you could never ever really lose each other, either.
Love truly made in Heaven.
What greater proof can I give than this, of the fact that love is stronger than any physical obstacle or unfavorable
circumstance?
You will know that love conquers all, and you will be able to encourage many people through your experience, not only
through your strengthened faith in a God Who loves you unconditionally and more than you could have ever imagined, but
also in the power of love itself, and that it is truly all you need, all the power that is necessary to live a happy, truly fulfilled
life, because it can help those who believe in it to overcome and rise above all circumstances. You will know that the line
God is Love is not just empty words, having experienced the very power of such divine Love - the very fact that God and
Love are one and the same.
What else would anyone think can ever bring life, can ever bring forth real and lasting fruit? What other than love? (IV:384)

My Love is not about deserving it. It cant be earned or deserved. (IV:387)

Love simply happens to be the answer to just about all of the worlds problems. (IV:390)

I dont mind granting you your desire for true love. I know what magical powers love has, and how it can give you faith to
overcome all and any obstacles, and I know that love is a good thing.
Thanks for making My world a little more spicy and tasty with your crazy faith in love.
True love can give you faith to overcome all and any obstacles. (IV:393)

Love originally was intended to be not like this supermarket consumer fake version that most people in the west mistake
as love nowadays.
Instead of just getting what you want (for its price, of course), you had to fight for it. You couldn't just buy it for cash. You
had to overcome some obstacles and hurdles in order to get it...
Nowadays, in this world that is being more and more usurped and permeated by the enemy, people are becoming used to
just getting what they want by paying for it, or showing their financial capability to have whom or what they want. (IV:398)

Even though pretty much all the love you experience in your life comes from My hands (providing it is real love), there are
various degrees of purity and of the level to which I am present in it, and this love is like a very rare, precious and pure
diamond, so it is only natural that you should be stunned and overwhelmed by its beauty. But if you keep in mind that that
beauty comes from Me, then you can enjoy it without worrying about whether you might lose it, not might get to have it for
keeps, or whether it's going to be a trip-off for either of you.
If you keep in mind that this is My gift and My love for you, then it will also be easier for you to see Me in it and thank Me
for it as you enjoy it, and it will be easier for you to trust that the degree to which you get to enjoy it is regulated and
determined by Me, and that it will thus always have the appropriate level. (IV:400)

When I need to chasten you, then it really only happens in love and out of love and for your own sake.
If you dont feel very lovable, then just consider it an even greater joy that I am able to love and accept you fully and totally
as you are.
I want you to love and enjoy Me, rather than fear Me. Some folks ought to fear Me: those who bring pain and sorrow to the
innocent, or to those of My followers who serve and obey Me; but when it comes to you, My beloved brides and those who
are so dear to My heart, I wouldnt want you to fear Me, just love Me.
Love is the better way. The only way to bring forth lasting fruit is through the process of love.
The way to win against evil is through love. The only way to make a difference in this evil world is through love. Love is the
greatest weapon at our disposal, not any attempts to legislate righteousness. So, were coming back to the basics of love,
because thats what it all boils down to and comes back around to.
When youve come full circle round, youll find its love and love alone, after all, that matters and thats going to save the
day, so you might as well enjoy it, grab it, use it, eat it, consume it, inhale it, do it. When love knocks on your door, thats
the time to say come in, and not be too proud, dumb or hesitant to let it pass by. (IV:403)

I like to pour My healing balm of heavenly and true love upon broken and wounded hearts who really appreciate it.
Im all ready for those who are desperate for Me, for My Love, My life-giving sap and dew from Heaven, My Elixir of Love.
(IV:406)

Love is the key element, and the essence that your life revolves around.
577
Can a sense of duty replace the efficiency and the effectiveness of the power of love?
How come so many people are so scared of love?
Receive this gift of My Love, and enjoy it. Soak it up. Let it change and transform your life, and let it transport you to
another, softer place. This hard, loveless world is not where you belong. You belong with Me, in My Realm of the soft
hearts and the broken hearted, the Land of Love (IV:407)

Nothing can separate you from My Love. Its the one sure guarantee you have, come hell and high water Thats the one
constant that will never change! You could never ever be too bad for Me or do anything that could change that! Its just the
enemy that tells you any different, and that I couldnt love you anymore because of this or that you have done, and that I
couldnt forgive you, etc. (IV:429)

To love as I love, that is what it is My Goal to teach. After all, its what Im best and Master at, and the art I possess and
enjoy most, and thus what I most love to share with others.
Life ought to be lived in and for love. (IV:433)

How wonderful it is for Me when My Love for someone is actually being returned.
Everyone who returns My love is a miracle to Me, a precious gift from the Father, that someone should actually return My
love and respond to Me in the way that I first approach them, instead of ignoring Me, which is, unfortunately, what many
do, or try to avoid Me and push Me aside, because they're somewhat scared of Me or just interested in different things than
what I have to offer and stand for. (IV:447)

Your only hope and chance to keep on loving and to keep on flowing is to stay hooked up to Me, the Source of your love.
If you want the love to continue to grow and flow, youre going to need Me. Its like a plant that needs to be continually
watered and fed with sunshine. Your love is the tree, the plant: I am the Sunshine and provide the water.
Or better yet: you are the ground onto which My water flows, your love is like the tree, and the Fathers love is like the
sunshine that makes it grow, the Holy Spirit like the air, into which your love, in return, contributes the result of all that
love: the water, the sun, etc. More fresh air to thrill others.
You are My love trees giving off fresh air and oxygen into a world that is dying from spiritual pollution.
Whats important is that you stay grounded in Me, that you keep and continue receiving My nourishment, My water, My
Word, My Spirit, and the Sunshine of My Love.
You cant do it without Me.
As long as you remember that and rely and depend on Me to love and shine, you will. (IV:454)

If you remain focused on Me, the eternal Source of Love, your human resources of love will also not run dry.
I know and always knew what you needed and wanted all along, all of which can be named in one single word: love. I know
your capacities of love, but I've also had to enhance them. I know your desire for love, but I've had to cleanse it from
impurities. (IV:460)

My Presence in your life will be manifested in love.

When you will stand before Me some day, thats when youll start living a life thats upright, a life lived the way it ought to
be, a life lived in love, since you will act in love and avoid those things that are not done in and out of love.
Love is the A and O. Its everything. Its the eternal factor, nominator and common ground that connects the physical,
temporary world with the spiritual and eternal.
Its the faith, hope love connection once again, and the greatest of these is, and will always be love. (IV:462)

Its hard for Me to pour out My love to those whose hearts are closed up toward Me.
Its also related to the issue of love vs. lust: love seeks the happiness and fulfillment of the other, whereas lust only seeks
its own gratification, a very important lesson to keep in mind.
There is always that difference between those who are seeking only self-affirmation and a pat on the back to boost their
own self-esteem, or some other kind of self-gratification and confirmation that will strengthen their egos, their faith and
confidence in themselves, and those who are in it for nothing but love.
They want to love and be loved. They have accepted and come to know the fact that they are being loved, and more than
theyd ever be able to fathom, and all they want is to return a fraction of that love
Now, it does take a little faith to discover that love, and to see that love, especially since the enemy is trying so hard to
cover all its (otherwise obvious) traces with his lies, twists and distortions, which, unfortunately, most of them choose to
believe
But that is precisely the reason and factor that makes the likes of you so precious to Me - those who are able to see it and
appreciate it and are willing to return that love.
Love, as you can tell yourself, has become a very rare and precious thing in this world, and those who are in possession of
that rare treasure are very specially treasured by Me. (IV:465)

My idea of perfection is love, and thats what Im working on, to bring it about on a much larger scale than it is available in
this poor, cold and love-starved world at present. (IV:493)

I am the Magic and Fuel that makes your candle and the light of your love burn. Without Me, it will flicker and come to an
end. (IV:509)

578
Your love is whats most important to Me, and likewise, My love is whats most important for you! (IV:524)

Cheer up! Its really true: there is a God and He loves you.
Remember that nothing in this world or out of this world can separate you from that love. - Nothing.
I am always with you, caring for you and loving you, even if by your own perception it may sometimes temporarily not
seem that way. I want you to know that youre loved and sheltered even when the circumstances would tell you differently.
(2011:1)

Tears will grow into a tree of true and lasting love from the ground of a broken heart. (2011:6)

Only love will do the trick, and love is, quite simply, Who and What I am. (2011:7)

Im going to keep on telling you that My love for you is unconditional. (2011:8)

Whats important is that you move according to My standards of faith and love.
Love and support and nourish your kids even if they never choose to be disciples! (2011:10)

Love changes everything. Love is the greatest power to change anything.

In the world love is almost considered a weakness, and they consider anything else, any display of power, a strength, but I
have chosen the apparently meek and weak little thing called love to be the strongest power in the universe Thats My
very special and favorite magic. Nothing comes close to it: no amount of wealth, of works, accomplishments, and much
less religious zeal, will ever come close to the power of that seemingly little, insignificant something called love to
radically alter your life.
The problem is, love doesnt work without humility. And in order to keep you humble, and thus, capable of love, I have to
allow you to have certain weaknesses to remind you its not in or of you; in fact, that youre hope- and helpless without Me,
and that its all a work of Gods grace.
Eventually youll get to the point where you realize that nothing really matters like love, and anything else you might do
doesnt even come close to it. So, blessed is the man who has learned to love, and there simply isnt anything better or
more important anyone could learn in this life. (2011:11)

I dont care what the Devil says or thinks about you; to Me, youre all that matters. I know that sounds hard to believe and
figure out when Ive got billions of folks to love and care for in the same way, but lets just say thats one of the advantages
of omnipotence.
The need to be needed is part of love, and I want you to know how much you need Me, how desperately you need to cling
to Me. (2011:12)

Even if I have to remind you anew every morning that in Me you can put your trust, that Im a faithful Provider and
Husband, I dont mind; I love you anyway. (2011:13)

You often begrudge the fact that I made you so weak, when in reality you should be thankful for it. Anything that draws you
closer to My bosom will only turn out to have been a big blessing in disguise in the long run.
Take it as a token of My love for you. It means that I want you and need you when I dont allow you to just wander off
without Me, doing all that you can do in your own strength. And to be desired by the Creator of the universe shouldnt be
considered such a bad thing; dont you think? Do you really think that whatever youve got to do could be more important
than this? Its ridiculous when you look at it this way, isnt it? All your worries and huffing and puffing become so
laughable then. (2011:17)

If it were deserved, it wouldnt be mercy, and its good to experience love and mercy of the infinite kind An experience
that usually shows that it doesnt really depend so much on you, whether Ill be able to use you for something good or not
but just as with a parent and a baby: its the parent that does most of the action that keeps the baby alive, clean and fed,
and he wont mind, no matter how much of a stink the little one raises
Im a good and patient parent, be assured of that, and I can handle any load you give Me. (2011:20)

Love has life-altering power that can enable folks to do things they were previously incapable of, or which they may not
have been aware they were able to do. (2011:21)

No matter how much you love each other, there are bound to crop up problems anyway, and youre going to wish for My
Presence and help in order to deal with them when they happen, and the only way you can ensure that is by staying close
to Me. (2011:50)

The only way to stay enthusiastic about love (or become enthusiastic about it again), is to stay focused on the positive, to
look at the donut of the person, their good qualities, and not the hole.
Im showing you over and over again that I believe in you and love you unconditionally, and that unconditional love helps
you to love Me back. Well, the same will occur if you will continue to love others in the same unconditional way, and it will
affirm and assure them that you continue to believe in them in spite of any problems (2011:51)

Whenever theres a paradise somewhere or a little piece of heaven on earth with people loving each other, it wont take
long until the old snake appears to spoil the fun
He just cant stand the sight of two or more people loving and enjoying each other, and hell always find a way to get at
least one of them to think about or imagine things they must be missing out on and all they might yet need in order to
really be happy (2011:59)

Thats how it will be in the end for all of you: all your trials and troubles and problems will look so ridiculous compared
to the love and the joy and happiness you will know then. You will wonder how you could have ever taken them all so
seriously (2011:62)

You say all you ever wanted was somebody to love you enough to listen to you and pay attention to your words. Well, what
I want from you isnt really all that different (2011:64)

The art of loving is, when the state of the person you love becomes depressing, you go right on, loving them anyways.
After all, I asked all of you, My followers, to even love your enemies.
And its true: if you were able to love your enemies the way you should, then youd certainly have less of a hard time
loving anyone and accepting and taking them where theyre at. (2011:69)

The greater purpose of many a seemingly small and insignificant task is often only revealed later and after a few more
miles down that dusty road
Its about learning to love, and if youd already love everybody, what would there be to learn? I guess youd agree that
theres a lot more to learn in this aspect, especially when youre confronted with new cultures, different habits and
attitudes.
Welcome to the club of those whove had to learn to love the strange, the different and the other, most of whom regard you
as the very same thing, as far as theyre concerned (2011:71)

Theres a reason why My Word generally advises folks not to owe anything to any man except to love him. (2011:83)

It wasnt and has never been a spirit of ambition in which I worked, but a spirit of love. Acquiring a spirit of love requires a
laying down those personal, ambitious agendas first, since they dont jibe. They cannot function together. You either have
one or the other. Thats why I told My disciples that theyd have to choose between either serving God or Mammon.
Likewise Im not nearly as interested in the amount or number of people you reach in My name or with My message as I am
in the extent to and the authenticity with which you touch those closest to you with My love, and leave a true and long-
lasting positive influence and imprint on their lives. (2011:110)

People define themselves by what they do. But what the kind of people who claim to be following in My footsteps should
primarily be known for doing is the stuff you so fervently claim to believe in: love.
Why not do some of the stuff that your faith, your belief and your God are supposed to be all about? Its like a muscle that
has to be trained. (2011:116)

When youre willing to suffer for somebody, even when you know theyre wrong, thats the kind of love that is apt to
change the world. (2011:118)

You cannot force people to be good.

You can win them over with love, and then it will be so much easier for you to do your job. (2011:128)

Learn from Me how to fulfill all the requirements and qualities of love, over time that is, of course, since learning to love
doesnt happen in a day but takes a lifetime and more. (2011:131)

I want you to enjoy a relationship that isnt dependent on achievements, which love should never be, and true love never
is.
The most important thing really is that you first develop a love for the people you want to reach and they can tell that you
really care. (2011:133)

You've proven and shown that you can work hard and make sacrifices for money. Now, to make things perfect, it would be
up to you to show whether you're wiling to do the same things for love. Working for love is naturally harder, since your
"salary" is one that is only perceived and received by faith, the primary requisite for this path you've set out on.
The Enemy is always quick to offer excuses for not complying with the requirements of love, since the rational values of
his system are based on different criteria, which aren't necessarily Mine. The question thus is, whose standards will you
adhere to, theirs or Mine? (2011:136)

It takes a wholehearted effort to learn to genuinely love, once youve been raised according to selfish ways.
Instead of sucking and only taking from people what you need, true love is so much more an act of giving. Its something that
has to be learned and acquired as you grow and mature. (2012:5)

Never hold unbreakable grudges against anyone, but show mercy instead, because if you want to be like Me in this world
and truly follow in My footsteps, you will be like I am: truly and endlessly loving and forgiving.
580
He that has been forgiven much, loves much.
You love Me and are sure of My love because of all youve had to be forgiven for and still have to be forgiven for on a
nearly constant basis, and this consciousness and knowledge of your own failure is much more precious than any
artificial sensation of holiness and righteousness that some people put on.
Gods attitude toward men is one of love and forgiveness, not of harsh condemnation and judgment, and that is something
very important to convey and communicate to people, so I cannot emphasize the importance of your showing mercy on
them enough. (2012:11)

The hardest people to love are the ones who need it the most, and while its a lot easier to love happier, friendlier and more
cheerful people, thats not necessarily what Ive always advocated. (2012:28)

Whatever or whoever you love, you will defend and protect and fight hard not to lose them or your connection with them.
(2012:34)

This is what the great commandments of loving Me and your neighbor as yourself are all about, too: you simply dont
judge those you love. So, if you want to start loving, stop judging.
People can live without your judgment. What everybody needs a lot more desperately is your love and acceptance of them.
This is what Id call truly the root of all evil: peoples ceaseless judgment of Me and each other, not allowing love to ever
flourish and blossom and making it nearly impossible to come into being. (2012:58)

Parents love will give you a taste of My love for you and teach you to love unconditionally, the way I do.
After all, learning to love is what its all about, and it includes accepting others and your situation with gratefulness,
instead of finding fault and complaining about them, and thats where loving Me comes in handy in the equation: leaving
the judgment up to Me and putting your own on the backburner (2012:61)

Love is most of all a matter of the heart, more than an exchange of intellectual goods and information, even though that
part verbal communication is an important part of any relationship, but thats not all there is to it.
Remember that thats what its all about: Love! Without it you cant do it. All the knowledge in the world wont be enough to
replace it.
The best quality anyone can have is the ability to love others regardless of their supposedly inferior status. (2012:70)

Great love relationships have been known to bring out the best of partners in each other, and thats what I do for you and
in you. I bring out the best in you. (2012:73)

I can do no other than love and care for you, bear you up in My wings and see you through until the end. (2012:81)

Thats what love and grace are all about: Bestowing upon others what they dont deserve, but all the more desperately
need.
How much more beautiful it would be to counter problems with love and become an example of My Love there, deserved or
not.
Are you going to make your vendetta try to get even? Or are you going to let it go, forgive and show love anyway?
Im not saying you shouldnt tell the truth, but try to do it in a loving way. (2012: 108)

Nobody wants to voluntarily give up the position theyve secured for themselves in this game of survival, this race of
getting ahead of the other guy. The problem with this theme of getting ahead is that it opposes My theme of love your
neighbor as thyself in other words, grant him your own position, if and when necessary or the situation warrants it,
instead of always making sure youve got the better one. (2012: 110)

Youve got to hold on to the belief that I love you, even when the evidence seems to be against it.
I know, Thats kind of hard But its really the only thing worth living for, and the only thing that makes life worth living
in the first place, because when you cant believe in My love for you, then what is there to live for?
Thats why its so important you keep embracing that belief and faith in My love for you, especially in the face of adverse
circumstances. (2012:112)

Anyone can love the perfect ones. But love becomes a real challenge when supposed to be bestowed on the far-from-
perfect, the obviously flawed and ugly. Especially when all you notice about them is blatant infatuation with themselves
I know its not easy and its a challenge. But love is always a better challenge no matter how hopeless it may seem than
revenge and condemnation.
I didnt come into the world to condemn it, and neither should you. (2012:114)

What the kind of people who claim to be following in My footsteps should primarily be known for doing is the stuff you so
fervently claim to believe in: love.
But what manifestation of love is just doing what everyone else does, earn money and make a living for yourself and your
family?
Why not put the same energy into an effort to show love to the world that you would in showing off how well you can drive,
teach, sing or translate? (2012:116)

581
My love and care arent conditional, not dependent on your achievements As long as you need Me, Ill be there. (2012:125)

Truly outstanding people are remembered and noticed for their ability and quality to give up something of their own for the
sake of others, which is basically what I said in that verse about Greater love hath no man
So, see it as an act of My love: You give up something you really loved and that was truly yours in order to meld and merge
with another human in order to form a new family. (2012:141)

You know its bad to only give it your best for money; you just dont find it within you yet to change that and do the same
for love, but its not too late to keep trying
Its never too late to try and do it for love! (2012:144)

if its unconditional love were sharing, then Ive got to be able to expect a little bit of the same from you, that youre going
to love Me, not just providing everything goes honky dory for you.
You want Me to love you unconditionally, and I do, but it wouldnt be fair if your love for Me would be based on certain
conditions, would it? I love You, but only if its not going to rain today Hmmmm. But what if? - Or, as its been put
elsewhere, But if not? But what if I dont do everything exactly as it pleases you? Will you love Me anyway? (2012:171)

You should always have enough love in your heart to pass on to someone who might be on the verge of giving up. As long
as you can inspire them that somewhere in this world there might be a glimpse of hope of love for them, it might give them
enough faith to carry on.
If youve got love, youve got it! So, dont forget about the most important thing, alright? All you need is love! Not so much
as what you need personally, as in what you need to do: All you need to do is love! As long as you can love, youve got
what it takes; the factor that makes all the difference in the world, and youre not a loser, but a winner, according to My
criteria, which are the ones that count!
You may have nothing, but if youve got love, youve got everything. Everything that matters!
It doesnt really matter where you are or go; if you have love in your heart, it will open doors for you.
You score as you go through life and collect love points that are going to add up into benefits both in the here and now as
well as in the there and then. You will grow in stature according to the love you give, so its something you shouldnt
neglect. (2012:175)

Ideally, love is supposed to be a better incentive for obedience than fear; but of course, when and where that doesnt work,
Ill have to manifest My love in the form of correction and discipline (2012:176)

People still prefer to follow rules: all the donts and things folks shouldnt do as believers, instead of following the Law
of Love, the new commandment I gave. They still prefer adherence to the letter of the law over My greater and supreme
Law, the only Law, as far as Im concerned: to love God and fellowman. (2012:177)

I love you and need you. - Cant do it without you. Cant let the world know how much I love them, unless you do. And in
order to, you first need to come to grips fully with the reality of how much I love you and realize that nothing much less
any sin or wrong-doing of yours can separate you from that love, ever.
Youll know youre loved every bit by Me. So, never mind those depths to which youre sinking. Theyre for Me to pull you
out again every time until you get the point: nothing, absolutely nothing in this world, could ever compare to My love for
you! (2012:183)

Its not your intellectual wit that I want you to impress folks with (especially since it more often than not will fail to do so in
the first place), but your love.
The devil will do all that he can to bring out the dog-eat-dog spirit of self-preservation in you (just as in everybody else)
that will make you portray and convey your ego in all its postures of self-defense, annoyance and what-not, just about
anything but love.
The only way to truly win in the long run is love. (2012:185)

To make oneself understood takes a lot of time, and thus, love and patience to invest in them. (2013:4)

What works is humility, kindness, love, cheerfulness Itll always make any crowd or audience more open for what you
might have to say to them (2013:12)

There are few who choose to believe that love and its value is longer-lasting than that of money, or even the imprint and
mark they leave in the world through their personal careers. Basically, what it boils down to, is that those people are
putting themselves above others, the ones they love, and above love itself, and thus, above Me and the Father.
If they put their careers above love, well, thats just about it. Their success may go up, along with their esteem by the world
and its approval, those assuring pats on the back, and paychecks, but their level of love, and thus, their relationship, is
bound to go down. (2013:17)

Dont withdraw your love, but keep loving unconditionally.

Sometimes the only thing left to do when you see someone neglecting their chores and duties of love over some
distraction is to fill in the gap yourself and make up for it. Its the most selfless and thus, loving thing to do, giving an

582
example of love that speaks louder than words. It speaks acceptance inclusive of flaws, unconditional love, the best
medicine and cure for just about anything, applied in the right doses, at the right times.
So, learning to deal with mistakes others are making that youve made before is really a wonderful opportunity for learning
how to love, showing what you learned, and apply that gained knowledge or wisdom in the right way, not in a self-
righteous, preachy attitude, but one of true love. (2013:18)

Learn how to truly appreciate what you do have: faith in eternal values, knowledge of these spiritual things, the resulting
peace, freedom from fear, and a greater capacity to love, simply because you take more time for love than those who
spend most of their time chasing after money! (2013:19)

Its easy to take things for granted, until the moment you lose them. That loss is part of the lessons learnt from this game
of life. Nothing in this game lasts forever, unless you play the Game of Love only your deeds of love, the seeds of love
you sow, will last. (2013:21)

The root of the problem this society boils down to selfishness, even if it may be disguised at times as a life selflessly
devoted to their own offspring. Its the kind of love they know: love for their own.
- Whereas I promoted love and kindness toward strangers, even ones enemies. Theres nothing special about loving your
own. Pretty much everyone does that, except in some countries where love is growing so cold, theyre barely even capable
of that anymore. (2013:26)

Start seeing all things including the bad as good things, since you love Me. Take them as tokens of My Love, for
example as measures to keep you from becoming spoiled by things going too easy all the time. (2013:28)

Love thats aware of others flaws doesnt have to be prepared anymore for bad surprises, and in the light of My Word,
such as Love covers a multitude of sins, (1.Peter 4:8), is a much truer form of love than that illusory infatuation with your
idea of a person.
Once youve come to know someone for who they really are, and you can still love them, anyway, thats when you can start
talking about genuine love. You can tell what a drastic difference this represents to the Hollywood-induced concept most
folks have of love these days (2013:29)

Im endlessly patient in watching you making even the tiniest bits of progress in that process of learning to love Me. Im
aware of how hard it is for you to love Someone so different from you, so entirely different from your own human nature,
and perceived only by faith, so I honor even the attempts youre making, and any steps youre taking closer toward Me,
even if most of the times they wind up in your stumbling.
Youre just starting to get a greater and better glimpse now, at the vastness and beauty of the significance of what it would
mean for you to truly implement this lesson in your life, of making loving Me your primary focus, aim, concern and goal.
A loving relationship with Me is a huge step forward, and you must hold on to that glimpse for dear life.
For most people, this task is totally bizarre and incomprehensible. Its one thing believing in God, but how can you learn
how to love Him? Thats why its the challenge of a lifetime. (2013:37)

Be encouraged to live in the assurance of My unconditional love and acceptance of You as My bride!
Only love and having something alive going on between you and Me in the Spirit is what brings life, truly. (2013:38)

You really want to put your trust in people? Youre a whole lot better off putting your trust in Me! If you put your trust in Me,
you wont be disappointed, and thus you wont get bitter towards anyone, and it will be much easier for you to love them.
(2013:51)

Love is definitely more than fulfilling the role of bringing in the money. (2013:52)

If you would draw close to Me the way you should, you would also learn how to love Me and to be loved by Me the way you
should. (2013:59)

You know when you can just love someone with all their flaws and quirks and they dont seem to bother you at all? Im
simply capable of that kind of love pretty much all the time. (2013:60)

You ought to be giving folks the message that really counts: that I love them. Sure, theyre not perfect, and maybe further
from it than any other kind of people youve had to deal with previously, but I love them nonetheless. If I take you where
youre at, why should I do anything less for them? (2013:91)

When youre a mature adult and youve learned an infinity of things that your little kid still has to learn, or some of which
anyone else (as in thy neighbor) hasnt learned yet, its a test of patience, and of how strong your love is. How great is
your capacity to love? - Great enough to put up with this?
And if not, how do you go about teaching them better? - In a loving way? (2013:105)

Love is pretty much the most important thing around. (2013:111)

Yes, people may be disgusting in many cases, but I still manage to love them, and through Me, so can you. (2013:114)
583
Giving love is a better life method than constantly seeking it and pleasure for yourself all the time. (2014:7)

Make love the highest theme and value! (2014:9)

Love is more important than money.

To put love first and make it the most important part of your life is definitely the right choice and decision. (2014:12)

Money doesnt have the same value in life that love does, and since God is Love, you might say that money is pretty much
the counter-piece the Enemy came up with
Maybe itll take you some effort to make love a greater value in your heart and life again than money, which would enable
you to put My values above those of the world. (2014:22)

Love is the most important reason for any change occurring for Gods children! Without love between God's children,
you'd sooner or later realize that nothing would be worth it.
Love is worth everything so, think about love some more and let it count as the factor worth growing! (2014:32)

Youve got to learn to recognize and discern good Spirits of love versus bad spirits of evil. (2014:45)

Make Me your first love! (2014:70)

Remember to learn to love and to listen (2014:84)

Love is the main and most important power in Gods Kingdom, since He Himself had one of My most special disciples
(John) call Him Love.
In todays world its sometimes easy to forget that how great, grand and important love is.
Loving your brothers is what youre supposed to do. Make a little more love happen instead of constant criticism and
judgment! (2014:85)

Let Love be it! Love is better than money to live for, just as God is, since theyre both the same So, try to put love higher
and make it more important in your life than money! If you make love rule, its clearly more Gods way than letting money
rule your life! (2014:87)

Sometimes, in order to be a good person, you have to let love come through you, and not just act as if you were the only
one worthy of receiving love. Sometimes following Me and going My way includes the lesson that youre not the only one
who deserves love, but you can be humble enough to give some of that love to others. (2014:91)

Isnt love the most important part of being a follower and disciple of Mine?
So, if you want some pleasant spirit to remain in and rule your life, keep your eyes and heart and soul and feelings
centered on love, since thats precisely what the Bible says the Spirit and Being of the Father is. If God is Love, how can
people who believe in Him and Me not make greater efforts to have love and give love to the world around them like Weve
done and keep doing, even if the Enemy does what he can to counter and object us?
So, just make a greater effort to remember the essence and importance of love! If thats what the Father is and what Ive
taught a lot about in word and in action, why not follow that Spirit, the highest form of the Spirit of God? Follow love and
keep it in your heart, mind, soul and actions, amen? (2014:97)

Let Me love you and learn to pass on that Love to others! (2014:99)

According to intelligence, those whove got it beat others, gain more, and are a lot more selfish in many ways than those
who consider love a higher value.
If God is Love, love should be regarded and perceived with higher value than knowledge and intelligence (the sort of stuff
assumed in education) providing you believe in, respect and honour God!
The ability to love others is in other words, according to Christian or godly standard higher than education and knowledge,
which are both equaled to intelligence When, according to God, loving others may be much smarter.
Maybe its better to train your purpose and sense of life back to the action and ability of love, than it is to only raise ones
level of supposed intelligence. (2014:103)

Remember the spiritual things and try to consider them more worthy than the physical riches, forces and advantages.
Especially remember Love. If being considered the same force, spirit and power as the Creator, it definitely should be
worth something, shouldnt it? - By faith, which is the next one, and hope. Faith, hope and love (if you remember
1.Corinthians 13). But the greatest of these is love. (1.Cor.13:13)
If it hasnt been misplaced or disguised by lust, that is Which may sometimes be part of love, but isnt always; and never
really the true and lasting part of it. So, make sure its real love you give and keep! (2014:111)

Keep your focus on love, not so much any other tasks, jobs or activities! (2014:115)

584
Try to keep focusing on what youve theoretically learned to be the most important in the world, namely love. It will be what
will make your life more worthwhile than anything else, even money or success of whatever kind. If you can keep love up
as the top thing in your life, which the Bible says is the same as God, the Creator of everything, and make it more
important in your life than money and physical success in other words, you put unselfishness above the things
motivating most people like selfishness instead of its opposite, youll raise up the quality of your life for sure.
Try to keep love as the most important thing to believe in and to practice, and youll experience how it will lift up your faith
and positiveness. Your personality will also be respected more by others, and since thats what the Father is, love will
make everything around you and about you become much more precious and make life more worthwhile to live.
If its actually true that the Father and Creator of all is Love, dont you think its quite likely the Thing to dedicate the
purpose of your life to?
What about throwing the value and purpose of your life into this, and make love the most important purpose in your life?
Maybe youll actually find out that its the same as God, the Creator of everything, and that should strengthen your faith in
Him, in Me, Heaven hereafter, and accordingly, the quality and value of your life.
If love is the main meaning of life and, after all, loving your Creator and your fellow humans were considered the highest
2 of the 10 commandments given to Gods people thousands of years ago under Moses then please dont put your
success and financial gain, or even your personal fun above it, especially not once youre getting older, and your life
should result in the proper demonstration of the proper, correct values. Not the physical or materialistic bonuses and
additions, but the spiritual ones, the main value of which is love.
If love is the greatest, please treat it as such and make it such in your life. If love truly is God, then value it above the
materialistic things a lot of people dedicate most of their attention to. Its pretty much the only proper way to handle and
treat the present life, as well as what follows it. If love is God, as the Bible says, then loving is the truest and best form of
living. (2014:128)

Putting the will of others you claim to love, such as Mine, or the ones youre married to, above your own, may be what life
is trying to teach you, and once you learn it, or are starting to, you show youre finally starting to get the point, that its
better to put yourself below others, and especially below your Creator and Savior and His will for you.
Its not about the amount of money or fame you made, when you arrive Here. Its about humbler things, and the way you
managed to make love work through you in your current life, and you managed to make your faith work through and for
you.
If you make love a greater priority in your life than material success, youll show youve inherited the Spirit of your Father
of Love and Creator, Who loved you all so much that He gave Me, His only begotten Son down there to surrender and
sacrifice His life for you all. (2014:134)

Gods will is a better choice to seek and live for than your own. - Love, greater than selfishness, since God is Love. So,
why live for anything less than love? (2014:143)

To have love for others takes a view of some of the hardships they have to go through. Itll give you more understanding
than if life for yous always just easy. (2014:145)

Remember a little bit of love. Keep love in your heart and mind, and above all the rest of the stuff: the worries, the longing
for material riches, or whatever Keep putting the God of Love or Love of God first, and youll finally realize, thats the one
thing in life that makes sense. (2014:158)

Learning to love more is definitely worth it, and it includes putting up with the faults of those around you, becoming more
accepting of others, more merciful toward them, and thus making them feel more loved eventually. (2014:170)

Can you make your own ways weaker for the sake of love for someone else? Can you heighten the respect for someone
else to an extent that would really make it true love?
Can you take that chance? Willing to really learn some big lessons along the lines of humility and true love? (2014:181)

The greatest thing to learn in life is to overcome ones sins and manage to jive into the ways of love, instead. See, all the
other human traits are basically based on selfishness, but love is the opposite, and therefore so worthy of managing to
make the main force in ones life, as opposed to all the other, natural ones folks are born with originally.
If you can make it with love instead of fear, pride, laziness, stinginess, lying, greed, lust and the other main sins of natural
human nature, well, then youre making it to really get prepared for Heaven and the hereafter in Gods Kingdom. See, if He
is Love Himself, thats what Hed want you people to be governed by and accept as the main and most important force in
life the main purpose you were created for and yet so relatively few seem to achieve it. But if you can, its worth it!
So, seek love as the main force to run and control your life, and you wont be disappointed, I tell you.
Anyone who allows love to overcome their main traits and major natural sin is a winner as far as the God of Love is
concerned.
Try to make love the primary goal to achieve in life, the principal thing to give and do, and you wont be disappointed, I
promise. Its more important than just about any other duty in life. If you can love, you can make it, I guarantee. Make
giving love the major goal in your life. After all, its the top and first of all commandments, and I said were the most
important: to love God and thy neighbour as thyself. Try and love others as much as you love yourself; and the most
helpful thing to manage that is to learn love Me and the Father first, because Well help you to do it and to learn it!
Learn to love, above all, and you wont regret it, I promise. (2014:183)

The fact that I love you and care for you is one you ought to know for sure how to trust in, especially so youll know you
wont have to worry too much, even if bad things should happen. (2015:6)

It can be tough when youre Love, and those youve created can sometimes make your heart break a bit Just take it into
consideration that God Almighty may also have feelings of hurt and sadness when those He loves a lot dont return much,
if any of that kind of love, but mainly expressions of discontent and wishing for something better than what they have and
are getting. (2015:17)

Dont underestimate Our Love and forgiveness! Its greater than anything the current rhythm of the world gets you used to.
So, tune in to Our Rhythm of Life! (2015:20)

Sometimes ones got to decide whom they decide to love more: their physical partner, or Me, your spiritual and eternal
Husband.
Get used to putting Me at the top of your list.
Trust Me, that its important to put Me at the top of your list and make Me the One you need the most! It might still be a bit
hard for you right now, but trust Me: the best you can do.
Strengthen your connection with Me, and give it the first place in your heart. Youll find out in the end that this way youll
also wind up having more love for others. (2015:41)

How about really making love the most powerful force in all the action? After all, its the most important part, if thats what
the Father was named, and My coming to earth was the main result of (see John 3:16). He gave Me to the world because of His
Love. So, love sounds like a pretty important factor, doesnt it? (2015:49)

Receiving Gods greatest gift of love is what will save you, or anyone who does, from the dreadful path this world is
headed in general. (2015:57)

Learning how to love might start off with learning what things try to stop you from doing it! (2015:78)

Youre surely better off if you dwell in obedience to My Law of Love that makes it possible for others to find Me and life
eternal hereafter, too!
Try to be a giver of love and of My message of Salvation to those who might not have it yet, and remember this as the
purpose of life for those who believe in and especially those who claim to follow Me! (2015:82)

One advantage of getting older in the physical, earthly life is that youre beginning to realize that success, fame, and
whatever worldly ambitions one seeks or follows, dont last forever.
The only thing that lasts after that, is what one has done for love. So, it may be quite important to remember that as a main
theme in life, because its the only lasting one, since even faith and hope are only necessary in the earthly one After all, if
thats what the Father and Creator of all actually is, what else could there be as great and important as Love?
See, its not the weather, not the money, or a luxurious home that can get anywhere near the importance of the impact, or
the greatness of the role that Love plays in ones life; so it could only be wisdom not to neglect it!
It may be a little tough sometimes, but that shows its worth, when its needed to fight for something
If God is Love, its definitely one of the things the enemy will fight and try to extinguish, and apart from coming up with a
few fake versions, he has definitely seen to it to install more important things and factors in earthly life, like money,
success, and physical, material well-being
Blessed are those who can keep love on the top of their list of important topics and manage to gear their ways of life
according to it. Dont forget or neglect it as the most important! (2015:88)

Greater strength in your faith is what youll need in the times to come. So, will you make it? Thats the question; and, of
course, as your Saviour Who loves you, I certainly want you to, and I wish you will.
Lasting well-being really only comes through caring more for others, not just yourself and your own happiness! In fact,
caring more for others is pretty much the only thing that truly makes you happy.
Its time to learn to become more unselfish, not so concerned about your own temporal well-being and enjoyment. Its time
for you to learn to get a lot more into what others could enjoy and want.
Theres a long way to go, with a lot to learn; and it shouldnt all be about entertainment and fun for yourself, as a disciple!
So, keep trying to make others happy, as much as you can. (2015:95)

Its true that love is the most important thing in general. But what if you don't manage?
Ask for love, and for help to give it to those you want to give it to. And who else would be more capable to give you more
love for others than a God Who Himself was called Love? (2015:98)

Knowing that you're loved by Us should give you some great confidence that we're capable of loving any sinner, pretty
much regardless of what they've done so, hope for just about anyone.
And that'll be good for some to find out and get to know! We don't just love perfect human beings! In fact, there aren't any
perfect ones around, anyway. So, knowing We can love you should give you confidence that We'll be able to love just
about anyone. (2015:99)

586
Remember that the most important thing is love, and that includes spending time with the ones you love and paying all the
attention to them you can, with love being more important than money! (2015:106)

To loveem anyway, even though theyre not perfect, thats what you ought to learn from the Fathers and My nature of
love. (2015:111)

Try to come up with as much love for your kids as possible, and try to handle their weaknesses as well as you can; so that
theyll remain on My and your side when the really tough times come, and wont wind up turning against you and those
who live for Me!
A lot depends on the love youre capable of showing them these days, for the time is coming when youll wish theyll stay
faithful to and grateful for that love. (2015:112)

Learn from the kids what you put the Father in Heaven through, and relate to it a bit. Maybe itll teach you a bit about the
things the Heavenly Father has to go through with you, and thus, teaching you to love Him a lot more. (2015:116)

Love is ultimately a better force to allow to rule you and your actions than money or other selfish motivations, and learning
how to let this rule your life is going to be the main way of the future thats coming! (2015:131)

Its a bit hard to understand how or why a God Whos supposed to be Love would allow something awful happen to you.
Can you believe in such a God, allowing this, to be a God of Love, anyway?
It might be good to be able to keep the faith in His Love, even with bad things happening to you, because there will be even
worse things happening to this world.
Can you still believe that the Father loves you?
Do you still manage to believe that We love you? (2015:135)

If God is Love, what would you expect from Him, or His Son, Whom He sent to earth because He loved the world? Many
folks dont quite dig it yet, that love is more important than their own goodness, righteousness, or trying to get as close to
perfection as they can.
I simply have a capacity of love, being the Son of the God of Love Himself!
And even though youre His children, too, through receiving Me, it just takes a while to learn His abilities to love and the
wonderful thing is: thats the sense and meaning of life for eternity!
It may take a while to learn all that to give love just the way He does, and We do, but thats what life is all about, both, in
the now, and the hereafter (where itll be a lot easier through the manifold examples of love all around you).
(2015:138)

Its the heart that matters. Especially if the key theme around it all, and the entire meaning of life as the very nature of the
Creator is love (2015:140)

Remember that My love for you, and the Fathers, are infallible, and We wont let you down.
We love you! And that thats the most important and most powerful gift you can have in this life, youll find out in the end!
(2015:141)

Can you learn what life is all about? The Lesson of Love?
Unfortunately, the main power of this world is selfishness instead of love, and thats why it wont continue forever, the way
it has gone (2015:145)

Theres a lot more concern Here, because theres a lot more Love, which basically rules It. (2015:147)

Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth (Heb.12:6).
Maybe thats something you had to be reminded of. But dont forget the fact that the reason it happens, is because He
loves you! So, chastisements arent always something to complain about, but reminders of the Fathers love for you!
(2015:148)

Free choice since Adam and Eve, the first couple, doesnt sound too bad for a God of Love, does it? After all, doesnt love
include leaving others that kind of freedom to make their own decisions and choices? (2015:149)

Remember that We love you, and that what Were allowing to happen to you will ultimately turn out to be the best, even if it
may seem a bit hard for you temporarily! (2015:157)

Thats one reason why I told My disciples to love their enemies: If the Father loved the world - being run by the one who
chose to be Our enemy - so much to send Me there to die for the sinners whod receive Me, its a challenge to come up
with that amount of love, but if youre a follower of My example, you should keep trying to manage it, to love whoever you
can, even those who chose to be your enemies. (2015:160)

Youre receiving enough discipline during your life down there, so what kind of a heavenly Father would insist on
continuing to punish you forever, afterwards? Wouldnt sound much like the acts of a God of Love would it?
Do you think thats the kind of thing a God Who is supposedly Love would make believers go through?

587
Having to go through castigation in your temporal life already should be enough from a God of Love, and be comforted
that I agree with you on that one! How else could you be geared and moved by love, if fear of hell was still supposed to be
there?
Just remember, God is Love! (2015:161)

Ready to be as loving and forgiving to others as youve been pardoned and loved?
It may be tougher to give what youve been receiving, is it? Well, all the more important to get into Our groove and way of
giving, and not just keep thinking of what youll receive! To be giving is what it means to be loving! (2015:162)

Learn how to handle what life brings with a good amount of trust that I and the Father know what Were permitting! And
even if its becoming rougher as time goes on, just trust and confide in Our goodness and Love, that it all will have a
positive outcome and ending!
I know its a bit harder to trust and believe in Our Love when bad things are happening, and its quite a test of faith, but do
all you can to keep believing anyway, and youll see, it will have been the right thing to do! (2015:163)

Anger is not a sign or demonstration of love so, if you want to behave more according to the main Force of the Father,
let it be love!
Make an effort to let love rule you! (2015:165)

Love is the Power of Life that should motivate and spur you on. Its the meaning and purpose of what you should learn
above all, since thats the main Essence of the Father Himself, and for what I came into the world. Just make it your reason
for living, and become a servant of Love youll see how much better itll be than anything else! (2015:166)

Check your level of love start applying a greater one than you have, so far Could it mean youre just expected to come
up with a bit of a greater level of love than youve been able to come up with so far?
How about making more love the ability to give that out the goal in your life, if you know that thats what the Father
is? Couldnt be a wrong move to make more and a greater level of love to give in your life the goal of your achievement,
could it? (2015:181)

What you give, you will receive. Which is why giving love is the one thing that no one will regret having done, ultimately,
even if temporarily there may not seem to be much reward for it (2015:192)

Just remember that the job is Love, and its a work of the heart and soul youve got to do. (2015:194)

To lean, rely and depend on the Spirit from Above, simply also symbolizes more love, which is the most important factor,
since It even is what the Father was named. You wanna do godly things? Do them in the divine strength of Love! (2015:203)

Sometimes it shows love, to be able to take things and folks the way they are (even if hoping theyll change, eventually
may be included). (2015:212)

Love consists of concerning about others more!

What is life all about, but learning to be more concerned about others than oneself, and simply learn to become more
loving, and thus get a bit more into the Heavenly Fathers groove, Who is Love? (2015:233)

Learning how to love isnt all that easy in a world taken over by the enemy of Love.
Putting up with things you may not originally agree on is part of that process and part of that love is learning to put up
with differently-minded others. (2015:237)

Most folks stuck to Me because of My living sample of Love. So, try and be a living sample of love and kindness! Thats the
best way of preaching My Gospel.
Love is what won you to Me, and its pretty much the only thing through which youll be able to win others to Me. So, be a
sample of love, Amen?
Remember that thats what the Father has been called, and is, and as a child of His and follower of Mine, it should be the
most important thing that folks can witness coming through from you! Love is the answer! To basically all the questions
coming up through peoples hearts, and to all the longings in the heart of My sheep, many of whom are still lost out there,
looking and waiting to be found.
My love folks will ultimately recognize as the most powerful force in the universe. More than science, knowledge or mere
physical powers and forces, and ultimately, much better than those of machines and electronic devices.
One of the greatest lessons of history, as you will see: that love is the mightiest force there can be! So, stick to, and cling
to it act and move through It! Remembering that its the identical Force of the Father and Creator of all things and
thus, the greatest meaning of life: love! (2016:32)

Love for Me will result in the love for others, helping you to do your job for Me. And becoming aware of your need for Me is
bound to heighten and raise that level of love. See it as the purpose of life: Love!
Just as making love in the physical can result in babies, children physical fruit, so the spiritual sowing of the seeds of
love will result in the spiritual and thus, everlasting fruits and results: children of God. The Spirit and major Force of
Love.
588
If love is the most important factor in life, make sure youre spending all the time and effort possible in sharing it and
passing it out! (2016:38)

Love is more important than money or material goods.

So, tune in to and measure the value of things according to Our standards, the spiritual ones, the standards of love! Thats
what it means to follow Our groove and put all things into the proper perspective: the focus of love!
Remember to replace a critical and judgmental attitude by Our love and mercy! (2016:45)

The greatest purpose of love is to offer the option of the better Hereafter to others, which is what I came down to Earth for,
and all My followers should stick to!
So, can you be a sample of that Love?
Stick to Love, and that great purpose for all My followers, and I promise you wont be disappointed by what youll reap
from what youll have sown!
Love, the very Essence of which the Father was entitled with. So, make that Love the Father the essence and purpose
of your life, let it flow onto others as much as all those around you, and that way not having to regret missing the major
purpose of those who follow Me! Thou shalt love The major purpose for living, and the greatest of the
commandments given unto Moses! Not easy, not during his days, and even harder in the state the worlds in right now,
but nevertheless, the greatest task of My disciples and those who wish to follow Me. (2016:46)

With the power the enemy took over that world, it may look a bit more present down there, that negative force of hatred
instead of love, but if its love you believe in, you should make an effort to show that you also believe in It as being the
more powerful Force than the enemys hate! (2016:49)

Accepting others the way they are trusting and knowing that changes will come eventually, according to Our pace from
Above is one of the patterns of love, instead of expecting perfection, which nobody down there should be expected to
show forth. So, include acceptance into that list of the qualities of love you need, and let it overcome the tendencies
toward self-righteousness! (2016:50)

Learning lessons of life means learning the lessons of love! Just try to put that rule and goal first in life, and you wont
regret it!
Learning that lesson of love in life is what will inherit the blessings from Above (2016:57)

Remember faith, hope, love, these three and the greatest of these is love! And dont let the devil kill those through the
negative circumstances becoming worse, but put faith and hope above them, and let it fill you with love, the greatest
Force, representing the Power and Presence of Our Father!
Giving and sharing what youve got is one of the greatest symptoms of love, which is the most important Thing! What
greater way to show love than to be giving? Isnt that what I did with My Life, and the Father by giving His Son? God so
loved the world that He gave His only Son! Who gave His Life! (2016:62)

The dark times make some features of mankind stronger, and in some cases its the proof of love, just as My death on the
cross was the proof and sign of My and the Fathers Love for mankind. For God so loved the world (2016:75)

Learn the principal lessons of life, of which the top one is to love, both, your Creator, and your fellowmen! Thats why I
even told My followers to love their enemies.
To make love the major focus, goal and aim in life is pretty much the most important thing one can dedicate their life to, if
they truly want to follow Me.
Dont forget or neglect to make love your most important task in life!
Make it your goal to keep that principal task in your heart and on your mind every day!
Witnessing is the main purpose for which Love and the Holy Spirit were poured down! (2016:76)

The track of love is the most important! And without it, nothing great can be accomplished!
So, pretty important to stay on the channel of love!
The one youve got to fight against is the one trying to stop you from being able to love, not the ones around you youre
supposed to love!
So, give it another try, will ya? Keep the love going and flowing! Thats the purpose of life, and the greatest lesson of it
all! If youre not going to have learned that one what good is what youd be able to claim to have accomplished?
If Id have died only for those who never made mistakes, I could have spared Myself from the trouble.
But see? Thats love: to give yourself to someone (or a hoard of someones as I did) in spite of their mistakes! Can you
love that much? Love folks in spite of their faults and mistakes? Just as I love you in spite of yours? Well, thats what
love consists of, and anything without that ability couldnt really be considered love!
So, if you want to get anywhere along the whole purpose of life, make an effort to handle and accept peoples flaws around
you, because otherwise it just couldnt be called love, whatever youre trying to do, and if thats what the Father consists
of what could it be worth, according to Him?
If God is Love, why not try to give and forgive and love folks in spite of their sins, faults, failures and shortcomings? Why
not at least give it a try? And another one and another one in spite of whatever excuse the enemys trying to give you
for not loving this or that one for this and that mistake they made? Dont make the biggest mistake of all to let the devil
trick you out of the greatest if not the only - sense and purpose of life down there!
589
Love loves the folks youre supposed to love no matter how imperfect they are!
The passive love motion, of only receiving love is not it, and it could be the biggest mistake in life. Whereas the active
mode of giving love away, even when theres nothing coming from the other side now thats what makes love turn into
the Real Thing!
Its your job to give love away, not just wait until you receive it and then respond some!
Real love isnt too scared of taking the first step! Even if you wind up on a cross as a result.
Loves got the Power, because Love is the Power. (2016:88)

Just remember to give love as much and to as many as you can, even if theyre far from perfect!
Even though the world is being run by an evil enemy and all his servants and cohorts, remember also that God so loved
the world that He gave Me to it.
Dont make the mistake of considering the Fathers Love as something finite! He is Love, and contrary to what you see
down there, anything but finite! (2016:89)

Things to be learned in life are not all about the amount of knowledge you can gather, but learning how to love and treat
each other properly, and the way you should. (2016:105)

The love found on Earth right now couldnt be compared with the heavenly One.
Remember My prophecy about the Endtimes, concerning love: because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold (Mt.24:12).
Its never too late for love, is the major Point of all the lessons of life, since all the good traits, gratitude, appreciation,
etc., are all just fractions of that major Goodness of the Thing that even the Father Himself has been entitled to consist of:
Love! All the good things are just little parts of what makes up Love, including the Father of all (good) things.
If God is Love, let the good and loving things rule and reign! Amen? Including your life, actions, attitudes and
motivations! Let Love rain and reign all over them! (2016:108)

No matter how folks around you act or behave, just be there to give and show them love! Remember that thats the most
important task of those who believe in Me: to love!
So, even if folks around you arent perfect, and no matter what they do: show them love!
Forgiveness and tolerance are parts of love, and it should give you a glimpse of the Fathers affection toward you, a
glimpse of tolerance and forgiveness, putting up with any of your faults, hoping youd bestow the same kind of affection to
others around you as well. (2016:111)

Faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love. Dont forget that! (2016:117)

The Law of Love also includes love and thankful gratitude for your own body. After all, it says, Love thy neighbor as
thyself, and not taking care of your body, but neglecting or even harming it doesnt show love for what you were made
and if you dont have enough love and appreciation for what you yourself were made, its unlikely that loving others as you
do yourself comes up with the quality of love needed, expected and appreciated.
So, a little more respect for creation of your body is pretty much necessary in order to love your fellows as yourself and
reap the blessings of obedience.
If you want joy and happiness, remember that obedience is pretty much the leading factor that will guide you there, and
dont expect them by failing to care for your own creation, if half of the only remaining commandment from Above is to
love your neighbor as yourself. No one can be too fond of being treated by anyone the way one abuses their own body.
So, dont keep murmuring and complaining about a lack of joy and contentment when thats missing due to your own
disobedience of the Law of Love! How can you love others as yourself, when youre not even treating your own body much
as if you love it?
Dont let the conditions down there become an excuse to disobey the Rules of the Law of Love! (2016:124)

Acceptance of others no matter what state theyre in is part of love a great and important one. (2016:135)

As long as you still have the same amount of love for others as for yourself, your own abilities can work as a gift. But once
that love is gone its time to come back and yield to the God of Love. (2016:143)

What matters is not the quantity of your actions and activities, but the quality, and what motivates you.
And you remember the main keyword for My motivation, and what it should be: Love! Not anger, worry, fear or pride, or
whatever else the enemy might try to tack you with.
When youre concerned about or interested in applying the best quality, remember what it amounts to, as far as Im
concerned: Love! Its what matters most, so, keep it in heart and mind, which equals: your soul! Make your soul a soul of
Love! (2016:148)

To make things easier for others who are suffering and dont really have that easy road Well, thats a good manifestation
of love for your fellowmen, dont you think? (17:74)

Acceptance and tolerance is a part of love!

Going through a world you feel like a stranger in is that sort of challenge to get used to things and conditions even where
youre not feeling at home.
590
But remember that you have something to teach others as a stranger in this world! Keep reminding them of the true
Home of true believers!
And even if youre not at home down there, you can makeem feel home, if you can share and dish out some of that
heavenly feeling, that heavenly spirit, that heavenly love.
When it comes down to love, remember acceptance! - An important part of it! (17:82)

In these days, youve got to have faith in love, in order to have and be capable of showing true love.
While its still true that the greatest of these is love, its simply becoming more necessary to have faith in that love,
because the times in which youre living, that love is becoming rarer by the minute.
So, keep that faith in love, in order to keep the true Love!
Its becoming practically the most important for you to hear from Me, in order to keep your faith!
The love of many shall wax cold.
Thats why youve got to keep fighting to keep your faith in it, even if its hardly left to see anywhere around you. (17:93)

Acceptance of the way others are is an important part of that unconditional love that makes you even capable of loving
your enemies. (17:101)

Bring hope to others through living faith in Love that doesnt die, even if the love of many around you shall wax cold
(Mt.24:12)!
And remember that by this all men shall know that ye are My disciples: that ye love one another (Jn.13:35)! (17:107)

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

Money & Materialism

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have
erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 2Timothy 6:10

Soon that which they say now rules the world money will be no more, and you will look and its gone. First to be
replaced by Satans mark for his short time and then to be replaced forever and eternally by My new and everlasting
System of true values. Prepare for it and adapt to it, learning to apply the true values of faith and unselfish love right now,
and you will be rich. People will come to you and look up to you for possessing the most priceless possessions which no
money on Earth can buy.
Each of My Words is worth infinitely more than the most valuable bill or coin. My Word has brought forth the universe,
which has brought forth everything humans manufacture and produce and sell for a certain price in the first place. Theyre
all just borrowing it from Me to begin with.
Those who are rich in this world often walk away from Me sadly, unwilling to find true happiness in giving their all to Me
and others to bring them Salvation and happiness. (I:16)

Im preparing you for times when no one will be able to buy or sell unless he has the mark of the Beast. This game of
commerce isnt going to continue forever.
Paper is not a very good foundation to base your life on, to hinge your hopes on and to build your actions around! Itll be a
very disappointing master. (I:81)

Trust not in uncertain riches, but in the living God, Who giveth you freely all things to enjoy. And lay not up for yourselves
treasures on Earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, but an incorruptible, eternal crown and treasure in My Realm, built
by spiritual materials: faith, My Word and souls won. For riches certainly make themselves wings, they fly away as an
eagle toward heaven. Let Me be your Treasure, your Supplier. Let faith in Me and My Words be your currency. And prove
Me now herewith if I will not open unto you the windows of Heaven and pour forth such a blessing that there shall not be
room enough to hold it!
The kind of happiness that money just cant buy: the bliss of living for love. (I:96)

The currency of true faith will buy you what you need when paper money will be nothing but sad history. (I:137)

The love of money is the root of all evil, and if you consider money a greater and better fruit to bear than children, then
youre on the Devils track, not Mine! (I:165)

Faith, not money, is the currency of the future!

In a way, faith is all that determines the value of anything, anyway, including money, so, it's all a matter of what you put
your faith in: Me, the Creator and Giver and Provider of all things, or paper. (I:437)

Gold from Me is going to get you through the hardest times of history, when paper money won't have stood the fiery test.
(I:515)

If you do things for Me and as unto Me, you'll reap eternal benefits and more permanent blessings than paper money. (I:567)

What do you think is going to be more rewarding in eternity? That little bit of applause that's here today and gone
tomorrow, or that little bit of money? Or the souls you're going to win by going out searching for My lost? (I:586)

Whats going to make the difference between making money and changing the world by daring to be different and striving
for the things that last: The power that's going to enable you to make that difference is love! (I:594)

Money is important, but the only thing that's going to last, the only eternal value that you can take with you from this world
into the next, are the souls you're winning for Me.
As long as you only want what they've got - their money - and you cannot instill in them the desire to have what you've got,
namely Me, you're not going to be much of a soul winner. (I:599)

"A disciple is someone whose primary goal in life is to serve God and not mammon." Is your primary goal to serve Me, and
not mammon?
Every penny in the service of mammon is hard earned by bearing the heavy yoke of mammon, while every cent I bless you
with in My service, that is being given to you in return for My Words and Family tools is a testimony to My great power of
supply, My power to lift you up.
Putting on My yoke is almost like putting on a pair of wings, in comparison to the heavy, steely yoke of the System and
mammon, who will squeeze every drop of energy out of you in return for every penny you earn. That money just
disappears again, as it develops eagle's wings itself and disappears into this hole or that, this bill or that need... it never
stops; it's a vicious cycle and a deadly trap!
592
Step out of that treadmill! And step out on the water of My will for you! (I:613)

Life is too precious to be only living it for money. (II:7)

I must take those false crutches away from you, the false confidence in money and the things of this world, because
they're all going to burn in the fire. (II:14)

There are greater riches in life to be gained than material wealth. (II:71)

If I would not require of you to have the faith first, I would make it too easy; there would be no challenge, no test, and the
"game" would be boring! Everybody could become a "winner" too easily. So, I've made it thus that this "treasure hunt" of
life wouldn't be all too easy. I'm not telling everybody: "Hey, everybody; the treasures over here! Come and grab your
rewards!"
That is, I often do tell them, but they won't believe! They won't believe, because they've already been conditioned by the
Enemy, the great "party pooper" and his lies that "there is no treasure!"
"There's only this dull life, and the only reward you'll ever get is the money you'll get in exchange for the work you do, and
that's it!" "The only reward you'll ever get is that which you earn with your sweat!"
Well, that's his variation of the game I called "Life - more abundant," and which he dubbed "Survival - if you manage!" You
follow the twist of the world: "I'll do it because everybody does it," and spend your time and energy worrying about and
doing all you can to get the Devil's little "Monopoly" paper money rewards for your sweat, while I'm waiting for you to start
hunting My real treasure: the lost souls out there, buried in the harvest field of life.
Lost souls are a greater and more valuable treasure to "hunt" and look for than money. (II:80)

I'm trying to get you to shoot for something more than the immediate cheap thrill.
Money will buy you things, will pay your bills and give you instant satisfaction, even some kind of peace of mind,
temporarily. But oh, the eternal rewards for each soul that you win for Me!
Do you have the faith and the kind of long-term vision it takes to win souls? This treasure hunt is a little tricky. The clues
that guide you to My true treasure aren't always that easy to find. And the Enemy, the party-pooper has made the game
more difficult by hanging nice and shiny distractions all over the place, little "plastic treasures" and imitations, to keep you
from looking for the real ones.
Money is his master piece of those counterfeit treasures. The love of money is the root of all evil because it distracts
people from the true essence of life. All their lives long they're chasing paper, getting nowhere, when all along; if they
would just look a little more carefully and if they would just stop for a moment and cease to be so distracted by the Devil's
counterfeit treasures, they could find the real treasures that are there to find in this life. Not in elusive paper money, nor in
the things that it buys, but in the very fellow human beings I have created to be by their side to be reached, to be touched,
to be explored, to get to know, to give to and share with all that you've found and learned in life.
No man can serve two masters. Blessed is he who has chosen the right Master. Who is your master? Who are you
serving? Me? - Investing your time and energy into winning souls for My Kingdom? Or are you settling for the cheap thrills
of the immediate gratification that paper money brings? Where is your focus? Where is your aim? What are you shooting
for? Which treasure are you hunting? (II:82)

Making money is the System's idea of fruitfulness, not Mine. I will bless you with money if you're doing My job, but I want
you to trust Me for your income.
It's the difference between investing in the immediately visible result (money) vs. the longer term, slower results of sowing
My seeds and feeding the sheep. (II:141)

The less you have, the better it will be in the long run, because the less you will have to tie you to this world.
The less you have, the greater the testimony that you're not of this world, that you're not putting your hopes in the riches
of this world.
The less you have, the happier you'll be, because accumulating riches and things and wealth in this world just ties you
down to it. You become too heavy to fly! (II:151)

As long as you were more successful, more busy, making more money, you were far away and distant from Me, too busy
for Me. (II:256)

My sheep aren't satisfied by anything but love, whereas goats will settle for the temporary satisfaction that material things,
success, money, pride and accomplishments bring. (II:268)

Put your faith and trust in Me, not in the green paper pig god of the System!
Your "less" in physical blessings brings so much "more" in spiritual blessings, the true blessings and the true excitement
of life. (II:291)

We all know you need money, and everybody knows they need money, and that's what everybody else's life is revolving
around, that's nothing new! But living by faith, and really putting faith in the first place is, in this day and age, something
quite new and radical. (II:331)

593
All that hype about wealth being a sign of God's blessing isn't always true. Especially not when that wealth distracts you
from Me and keeps you too busy to hear My voice of truth. Wealth isn't always a sign of My blessing, but often merely a
sign of compromise with the System. (II:340)

You've got to get away from carnal thinking, the carnal effort to try to find or build paradise for yourself in that temporary
world. You've got to stop putting your money or building your dreams on that kind of ground, and come to the conclusion
that you're going to quit looking for "it" here in this life.
Even at the risk of being ridiculed, you should make it plain that you decided to put your money in the bank of Heaven
and that you're a faith-investor. (II:361)

Do you really think that true freedom can be bought with money? (II:372)

Its obviously easier and more comfortable to preach the Gospel with money in your pockets. The problem is, 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 and gluttonous attitude of the leading nations
of the world...
Supply and abundance cannot be the principal factor about your life-style. (II:375)

You were wondering about your role you're having to play right now. Well, I just want to encourage you that I and many
great men of faith have been in the same boat. If you look at My life on earth, you should be encouraged: it wasn't anything
to be envious of. Then there was St. Francis, and many of My apostles... They all were just humble slaves for My work's
and Word's sake. None of them died of old age as rich millionaires in their fancy villa somewhere...
I see you as the rich man, and them as the paupers. You are the one who is truly blessed. Those others are just inheriting
the fake blessings of the devil. They appear and fade into nothing as soon as the show is over. They turn out to have been
nothing but a fake! They lose their value and shining appearances as soon as the curtain falls: "Game over," "The End,"
and "welcome to the Real World," the Spirit World! They're all going to find out that they have been fools, fooled by the
greatest fool of all, the great imposter.
So, act out and play your part with the dignity of one who knows that he's the heir of the heritage that lasts, the poverty
that will turn into everlasting riches when this game, this show of life on earth is over!
You've got to do the right thing, you've got to continue producing the good stuff, even if it seems like nobody wants it. The
need is there, and sooner or later you're going to come upon your "clientele," your "crowd," your niche in the market, the
people who will have been just waiting for what you've got to offer. (II:380)

It seems to be difficult for you to believe that I can supply all your needs, but it's definitely not difficult for Me to do so. It's
an easy thing for Me, as easy as a breeze! As easy as supplying you with every breath of air you breathe. Oxygen is at
least as difficult to produce as paper, or some numbers on your bank account.
I understand that this game of "numbers" is hardcore reality for most people, but they are not the essential part; I am. I am
the Provider, the Maker, the Essence behind this whole game called life, and you're severely underestimating Me if you
doubt that I'm able to supply your needs. (II:387)

Borrowing money isn't the solution...

Making debts is really not the way to make headway in your financial situation.
Debts usually take longer to pay back than one thinks. (II:404)

Their entire system of values has just been blown up to look bigger, but is so fragile; one little pin will put an end to it very
rapidly. (II:445)

I want your major concern each day not to be your bank account, but the state the world is in, and what you can do about
it, what you can do to wake up more people and rally them to My Cause. (II:457)

The devil realized that it's much easier to corrupt people by a 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 and will to
fight the very fight of life. (II:469)

Stay on the rock bottom of reality of what you truly can afford and what not; what your needs really are, realistically, and
how much you're going to have to work up or pray down accordingly. The buck is going to stop with you - at zero, there's
no more trespassing that line, living on borrowed money or time. You've got what you've got, and what you don't have,
you're going to have to get. This is a much more positive life-style than life in the minus.
Welcome to the reality, the freedom of living on what you've actually got, and not what the System lends you! (II:490)

The things you do for Me have everlasting rewards. Show Me that you esteem My rewards more valuable than the lucre of
the world. (II:529)

Sin, time and money are connected somehow. If the love of money is the root of all evil, then it is certainly connected to
sin, plus, if "time is money," as they say... they're living away their lives in the slavery of sin. As I told the people, "He that
commits sin is the servant of sin" (John 8:34), and I'm the only One Who can liberate anyone from that bondage. They slave
594
away for their meager wages, which, in the end, turn out to be nothing but death, that "way which seemed so right unto a
man," but turned out to be the ways of death...
You slave away for little colored papers all your life, and all you get for it in the end is the sting of death. But not so for
those who receive Me. For I can turn anything and everything into an everlasting value. I'm the Great Alchemist Who can
turn their worthless copper into eternal gold. Even death will be something precious in My sight, when someone has
become one of My saints by receiving Me. And I can even turn money into something useful, something that creates and
brings life (when) used for the good of My Kingdom. (II:537)

Materialism is like an addiction, a fake way to satisfy the aching voids that were created to be filled by Me. But it is sin.
(II:572)

I want you to shift the "sense of security" that the possession of money gives you, to another "bank," another address, so
to speak, namely to Me. I want to be your sense of security factor, and no longer can I tolerate money to be that factor in
your life. As long as you still trust in money to give you a feeling of security, what good is that? Moreover, it's a false sense
of security, as My Word also says (1Tim.6:17, Prov.23:5). My Word calls it "that which is not," in other words, it isn't really real,
it's the perfect distraction the enemy created and came up with to lure most of the world away from Me, and he has
managed successfully, all throughout history.
Money is the hole in the donut that everybody's staring at in their constant, insane quest for more and more goods and
possessions of whatever kind, all the while ignoring Me, the donut, and all that I have already given you. Money is the
devil's perfect alternative and antidote to Me, his wonder drug and no.1 addiction and distraction, his greatest and most
effective weapon to turn people away from Me. That's why I said there are only those two possibilities: you either serve
God or Mammon. Your focus is either on Me or on money, it can't be both.
If you can't imagine a future without money, then I'm wondering whether money isn't the greater god in your life than I am.
If you can't see how I could run a world without money, then it's as if Mammon, to you, is a more powerful god then I am,
and the lasting value according to your mindset, and not My Word. - Duped into believing in the "omnipotence" of money.
(II:598)

You cannot serve God and Mammon: one of the two voices will always gain the upper hand. They won't jibe. They're
always fighting for lordship and the first position in your lives. The enemy will try to get you entangled and under his yoke
and in the bonds of his slavery. He will try all kinds of tricks and 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! (II:609)

The rich may think, "Why, everything's just fine as it is." But I see the suffering of the poor, and I say, "no, it isn't." Just
because a rich minority is doing fine doesn't mean that everything's fine.
That's just no way, as far as I'm concerned, to be ignoring the plight of the poor, and the fate of those who haven't been as
richly blessed. (II:617)

The love of money is the root of all evil (1.Tim.6:10), because for the love of money people will compromise the truth. For the
love of money people will neglect other, more important tasks in life, such as their fellowship with Me, and their care for
each other, all in order to gain more money.
Once people covet it, they wont act out of love, and thus, missing the mark of acting out of love, they sin.
The love of money can become like an addiction; in fact, its probably the most wide-spread addiction on earth. People are
willing to do almost anything for money. They virtually sell themselves as slaves to the System in order to get it, and they
will hardly stop short of doing anything for it.
The love of money is My greatest rival. Scarcely a man has been willing to do the same for Me that he has been willing to
do for money. Money is the one thing the Enemy invented to direct peoples focus on in order to totally distract them from
Me. Money has been his most successful tool.
Money is the most worshiped item on earth, the most coveted, the most loved, even though it is only an illusion, for its
value is based on faith in the existing System, instead of Me and My eternal Kingdom.
Money is the wages of the flesh. Cursed be the man that maketh flesh his arm (Jer.17:5) and trusts in his own work and
says, Mine own arm has saved me. Money is the item that most provokes Me to jealousy, because even many of My
children have fallen prey to the love of it.
For the children of the world, everything revolves around money, yet from Gods children I expect that their lives revolve
around Me, not Mammon. (II:653)

Greed, the worship of mammon, is the rage, the rush, the addiction of the masses... they're all junkies of things, no matter
what pretty names and noble cloaks they want to give it on the outside.
That greed and compulsion for consumption may be so accepted by the System that they're not even recognizing it as a
weakness, but even make it look like a virtue (the virtue of capitalism, for by spending you keep up the flow of currency,
you keep the machine rolling), but I'm giving you a glimpse of what it really looks like to Me. It's like a bunch of kids totally
obsessed with their toys and never even giving a glimpse of acknowledgment to their Father. The "kind uncle" has shown
them a way to get all their toys, and they all dance to his tune instead now. When he calls, they jump, and they'll even
believe him when he tells them that their Father is their enemy, and that those who stay true to the Father are traitors and
must be wiped out. (III:4)

Just because there are others who are being materialistic, is that sufficient excuse to become a materialist yourself? (III:26)

595
Flee youthful lusts, run away from the temptations and enticements of the flesh, and run in the other direction; pursue
those things I want you to seek, and "follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart" (2Tim.2:22).
Instead of running after money, you'll be running after faith; you'll be following My footprints of faith, and obtain
everlasting riches. (III:55)

You can benefit from and avail yourself of the sheer endless pool of wisdom of all ages that is stored Here, according to
the effort you make to draw from it, like activating a pump...
It's like a heavenly bank of spiritual wealth. The Father has put an account there in your name, and you can draw from it
whatever you need, anytime you need it. You don't have to walk through the physical world as a spiritual pauper.
Sometimes you feel as if you lost your bank card or forgot your PIN... it seems more difficult than usual to "pick up money
from the bank," or maybe you got there too late, after closing time... But all these worries are unsubstantiated. You have
permanent access without having to show any card or having to remember any number, because you have the Father's
mark and seal in your forehead. You are one of the royal heirs with special privileges. (III:95)

Money can't buy rain. Money will buy food, but also only for so long, without rain. Certain things can't be replaced or
substituted by money...
They put all their trust in that paper, but every now and then, I need to allow certain things just to remind them that there
are other things they need, which money won't buy them. (III:107)

Don't put your faith in numbers, but in Me!

It's like the "abundance" of money on their bank accounts that some people think their life consists of. Their life and its
value basically consist of a number: the amount of money they have on their bank account.
Your true value is determined by the amount of My Spirit you allow to flush through your life. (III:135)

Attention is one of those things that money theoretically can't buy. The sad thing is, a lot of people are being respected
more for their money than for their character or personal attributes. So, showing and paying attention to someone for just
being themselves shows that you don't judge or go by the standards of the world.
It would be easy to show them the necessary respect if they were a millionaire or would spout off really wise and educated,
impressive things all day. But what are the attributes that really count, according to My book? Certainly money and brains
are not on the top of My list! (III:282)

Concern about money is not good enough an incentive to turn any endeavor for Me into success. (III:358)

The process of bringing you to the point of willingness to let go of everything that builds up your flesh, includes reducing
the numbers that make up your life: the amount of money you possess and possessions you can afford.
In establishing lasting and eternal values, sometimes the earthly values have to be abolished first. (III:418)

I want you to adopt an attitude about the money youre earning that makes you see that youve really been given that
money! Youve been given the opportunity to earn that money by My hand.
You never know just how much longer the whole money game is going to last. It might be over sooner than some people
think, and Show Me the Money will acquire another meaning then. It will mean, Show Me the goods! Show Me what you
have learned and earned with all thats been given you and invested in you. Just like the man in the Bible who had given a
varying amount of talents to his servants and upon his return was asking to see the returns and fruits of his investment.
See, even money talk can be applied in spiritual ways. How have you been investing what I first invested in you? What
dividends are you bringing and rendering for Me? What is the fruit, the gain of all that I have poured into you? Where is the
result? Show Me the money! Am I getting My moneys worth out of you?
That may sound capitalistic, and not at all like the Gospel of unconditional love youre used to; more like a business
transaction and partnership rather than a marriage, but its just to serve as a reminder that something has been given to
you, and the world is expecting you to do something with it for their sake. Im expecting you to do something with it for
their sake. Not for anybodys selfish gain, but for the benefit of lost souls, and in order to save lives!
When the money will collapse, it will become evident what people will have invested their lives in, and whether it will still
be worth anything or not. (III:455)

A humble attitude is the opposite of self-reliance.

Theres the connection between money and pride: Reliance on money and your own abilities to get it provokes and
invokes pride, as opposed to humility, the place where theres lots of room for Me to bring improvement and My goodness.
Pride is the filling up of that room with things you have created (at least in your mind) for yourself, instead of letting Me fill
it
Pride is the sin that allows things like money to fill and usurp the place that was destined for Me. And when you trust in
riches, instead of the living God Who giveth richly all things to enjoy, then youre in trouble, as far as Im concerned. (III:520)

Materialism is in essence a spirituality of selfishness, of greed, both driven by envy and destined to create more envy
one of the triggers of the misery in this world.
It is an existence of emptiness camouflaged as abundance, and yet, because most people dont recognize the deception,
thats what they strive for. (III:521)

596
Faith is a better and more trustworthy currency than cash.
My Promises are certainly worth more than those pieces of paper that the majority of mankind pursue with all their might
and energy.
In the long run, money will cease to exist. And faith will be replaced by the actual, tangible rewards for believing the
previously nearly unbelievable. It will always show to have been the wiser investment in the long run. Money will turn into
ashes, while faith will turn into untold riches that money could never buy. (III:590)

Financial tight passes always put you in a position of greater respect for the Giver, the One responsible for paying your
bills. It makes you look around for ways you might possibly improve, which you dont see a need for as long as
everythings going alright.
But when things are tight, you look around and wonder, What could I be doing better? What might I be doing that is
bringing this momentary situation upon me? Youre not taking it for granted any longer that you must be doing okay, but
you figure, Wait a minute, why has the Lord stopped blessing me? (III:591)

I cannot allow you to think that Money equals blessing, and acquired money equals mission accomplished.
If as soon as money starts pouring in you stop making an effort to make more progress, and thus you stop all growth and
bring the maturation and advancing process to a halt, then I have to conclude that pouring money in your lap isnt a good
idea.
What was that verse about not putting your trust in uncertain riches? (III:594)

In this world, it may not buy you much, being one of Gods jewels. After all, their system of values is based on paper, and
will soon be reduced to nothing but virtual digits in a computer system. Numbers
What do they know about true values? (IV:75)

Whatever it takes for you to touch peoples hearts and really bring across My message to them is what I would consider
service for Me, not whatever brings in money.
Put Me, My Cause and Kingdom first, and not the money! You cannot serve the purpose of both. If its the money youre
there for, then My purpose and message goes under! Youve got to be there primarily for My sake, and not care or worry
about the money. Just deliver My message wherever you go, and let the money and your supply be My problem.
Remember Whos your Boss! Dont let them intimidate you with their bills of paper that is here today and gone tomorrow!
Live for My eternal currency! If youre going to be real and a representative of the Real Thing, then youre going to have to
be real in this aspect, too!
Dont let money, or whoever wields it run your life, but let Me run it. Youll see the results will be infinitely more rewarding!
The knowledge of evil is always geared toward personal advantage over someone else, and personal gain. The knowledge
of good serves to do good to others. (IV:135)

Isnt love a worthier cause to live for than money? (IV:136)

The wealthier people are, the more high-minded they also become and the more they think they are. They base their worth
and significance on their wealth, when I have charged you not to put your trust in uncertain riches but in the living God
Who gives you freely all things to enjoy. (IV:140)

I cannot spare you to tickle peoples ears and consider that more important than what I want you to do for Me and My
Kingdom, just because it brings in more money.
Money is not whats relevant. Some people may not believe that, but its a fact, as far as Im concerned.
This is your freedom! Freedom from the slavery to money, freedom from fear and worry and pressure the System tries to
put on you by telling you youre not going to survive if you dare to buck the tide Freedom to challenge that ridiculous
claim in My name and power. I have challenged it before, and I will gladly challenge it again and again through you and
whoever lets Me. (IV:153)

Believe Me that it isnt the amount of money you earn thats going to guarantee serious respect from your kids or a good
relationship with them! (IV:161)

Your strength and faith in the face of calamities will determine whether youve really got something to give, and whether
what you have is going to be real gold faith thats not going to go up in flames like their paper money and their paper
money faith. (IV:196)

People always figure that as long as theyre doing well financially, I must be pleased with them, and everythings in order.
Just about the worst imaginable punishment for them and the greatest shame is when their finances start to dwindle.
They start feeling useless, or as if I had forsaken them and withdrawn My blessings, when it could also be that Im
preparing them for a future situation without any money at all, in which case the withdrawal is a token of My love for them.
I want you to become dependent on Me, not on paper!
I want you to know that Im a greater force to be reckoned with than any amount of money in the world.
Financial power all good and nice, but nothing compared to My power!
When it comes to a factor that people put their trust in, then money is definitely My rival no.1, and it happens subtly. How
dependent folks become on money only becomes evident once I start withdrawing it or allow its flow to be reduced. If I see

597
that it doesnt have any effect on their faith and trust in Me and they remain cheerful and thankful, then I know money does
not affect them, but if I see that their trust starts to crumble, then we have a problem, and we need to work on it. (IV:198)

Im trying to lead you away from thinking in lucrative terms only. I want you to see the real value in and of things. I want
you to appreciate what youve got. To appreciate something means you know its worth.
Where is that paper money going to be in a few years from now? Where is it going to be in the scope of eternity?
Thats why the love of money is the root of all evil: it keeps you from the true values of life. It leads you down the wrong
path. You think youve got to go down that way, when all the while Im beckoning you to come and follow Me up this way!
Im trying to teach you that there are more important things than chasing after numbers.
Dont let your life be ruled and governed by numbers. If you do, youre bound to wind up becoming nothing more than a
number yourself. (IV:200)

The sooner you will have learned to depend on the Spirit, the more and longer you will find yourself sustained even in
situations in which the flesh would have let you down.
Its comparable to the longevity of paper currencies vs. that of gold and other lasting currencies and values: paper money
may temporarily be the hottest item around, and everybody may be chasing it and spending all their lives and energies in
the pursuit of it and running after it, but in the long run it turns out that its power was very limited and temporary.
The fires of lifes trials will reveal which are the values and currencies that endure and last.
I want you to endure and to be able to endure, instead of running out of steam prematurely. Thats why I need you to learn
to put your cards on the Spirit. (IV:209)

If I would supply you with a constant and steady flow of plenty of income, you would probably be much less inclined to
double-check with Me about My opinion on how youre faring. It would be so obvious then. As long as the machine
keeps rolling somehow and puttering away, everyone thinks that things are just fine and okay, no improvement needed.
But by keeping you on a financially tight and shorter leash, I am better able to keep you close to Me, desperately looking
up to Me, rather than complacently going through your days without question whether youre doing alright, as far as Im
concerned. (IV:210)

It is not that I forbade My disciples to pay taxes to the Romans, as some later falsely excused Me. But on the other hand,
did I have them work in order to obtain that money? Or did I not rather provide it for them miraculously, as in the account
of the coin in the mouth of the fish?
I am able to provide the filthy lucre the System demands, even without your having to divert your attention from the work
youre doing for Me in order to obtain it. (IV:211)

Prosperity isnt always as conducive to progress as the lean times are.

When theres plenty, people tend to look around a lot less for new things they could do, new projects they could start or
areas to pioneer. Self-satisfaction settles in way too easily in order to activate that initiative and drive you need to look
around and start some new project or even look around for new prospects.
So, I am able to use financial instability better than financial stability, in general terms, since it causes greater desperation,
as opposed to that stagnating self-satisfaction.
Financial stability unfortunately often encourages complacency. (IV:214)

Financial pressure is obviously one of the most effective tools the enemy has got. And thats where and when your faith is
being tried, as to how much you really believe that Im in charge and able to supply your needs without having to resort to
the arm of the flesh or having to compromise with the System. (IV:218)

Its one of the devils tactics: to keep people too busy to look around at what ought to be changed. As long as the money
keeps flowing in, they figure, Lets keep going with whatever were doing.
Money is the life-blood of complacency. (IV:249)

Most people's lives revolve around money, instead of loving and caring for each other, and I almost find that downright
cheap and disgusting. I make such wonderful things as people, and all that most folks care about is chasing little pieces of
paper. (IV:445)

People always think of the money factor as the principal one, and I understand it gives you comfort and security, or at least
a feeling of such.
But you know from My Word, that I have different criteria and priorities by which I judge success or a fruitful situation.
I would also like you to aim a little higher than just achieving a comfortable life-style and way to make a living, want you to
retain the vision that youre here because you have a mission and a purpose for Me to fulfill. (IV:481)

Just the fact that I said The poor ye shall always have with you to Judas, doesnt mean that I was or am indifferent to
their plight, nor that I would want My followers to take on an indifferent attitude toward them.
Thats what was so great about St. Francis, since he was one of the first to see that and extend a hand to the poor, actually
following My example and not just going by one phrase that may seemingly justify that sort of indifference, when it
doesnt, really.
And thats precisely what perfection means to Me: you develop a heart for the plight of those less fortunate than you, you
show that you care about them, and youre no longer just concerned about your own desires. In other words, My idea of
598
perfection is love, and thats what Im working on, to bring it about on a much larger scale than it is available in this poor,
cold and love-starved world at present.

I never said, You cannot serve Mammon! But I did say, you cannot serve God and Mammon! So, if you want to serve
Mammon, then serve him. But if you want to serve God, then serve Him, and not Mammon!
Just as I said, render unto Cesar what is his due, and unto God what is His!
And if youre going to have the faith to serve Me and trust that I am going to continue paying your bills and taking care of
you, then for Gods sake also continue to trust Me! (IV:496)

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

Overcoming & Rising Above

Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith. 1John 5:4

If you continue this walk with Me, I will perform the miracle of helping you to overcome your besetting sins, help you to forsake
the residue of the Enemys strongholds in your life. (I:2)

In all you do, wait for Me and My counsel and strength and power to rise above! (I:3)

My Words are the everlasting Magic that will spring forth in miracles not seen, nor heard of.
They will cause you to rise above this physical dimension. (I:11)

As your faith and your ability to rise above grows, you will learn to smile and be joyful in spite of all the oppression around
you, for you will carry My victory in your heart. (I:23)

Physical circumstances are irrelevant to Me! To rise above means to rise above anything that binds you, confines you to
any boundaries, any limits, anything that says, It cant be done! (I:57)

Nothing will be able to stop you, if you walk fully emerged in Me, in the confidence that the laws of physics dont apply to
you anymore in the hour of faith, when I call you to step out on the water, when I challenge you to rise above. (I:72)

Whatever the circumstances are, I want you to look past and beyond them, through them, at the hidden blessing, the
greater victory which will come about through seeming defeat; at the lessons and wisdom gained by means of an apparent
loss, at the greater purpose of God, at the greater good which will always come forth out of supposed evil for those who
love Me, at the beauty which will come out of the ashes of the old. (I:84)

Only when you have learned to treat success and failure with the same desperation, yet clinging to Me in joyful trust in
spite of anything that happens, only then will you be stable, unshakable, immovable by any event or obstacle and can say
with the true overcomers: None of these things move me. (I:90)

Let Me carry you above all the waves the storms are whipping up. The sea beneath you is seething and 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 experience
My peace in the center and the eye of the storm.
As those on your left and on your right fall prey to confusion, you can rest tranquilly and peacefully in My palm. (I:94)

After every storm the sun will shine again: this is the way it has always been. I will not forsake you utterly, however hard
the wind and rain of My purifying chastisements may seem.
For though much terror has been brought into the world and worse shall come: is not My power greater than all that? Isnt
My love greater than their hatred?
I dont want you to be overwhelmed by the evil you see in the world, leaving you stunned and unable to give life and light
to others, I want you to be overwhelmed by My joy, My love and My goodness and light and to shine it forth and overflow
onto them, like a fountain of life, love and light, everywhere you go. (I:95)

Please continue on this rough and rugged road that leads to the only rewards worth attaining for true overcomers! (I:97)

Attack the hurdles with fervor and determination, and you will become a true overcomer and accomplisher of the lasting
works of My Spirit. (I:101)

To give when you apparently receive nothing in return, that is love that overcometh all things. - Love that rises above the
circumstances. (I:121)

Glory in your sufferings; excel in your tough times... thats rising above. - To smile in situations where others would
despair. - To be calm when others would freak out. To feel safe and secure when there is nothing to hold on to, no rope, no
net only My invisible hand. Trust in the face of adversity. (I:135)

Dont let circumstances drive you into a defensive position! Stay on the attack! Rise above the circumstances.
You can rise above anything. New, unexpected situations are simply new challenges for you to rejoice at and to laugh in
their faces, thanking Me for bringing them along to make you grow stronger. (I:152)

Overcome, even as I have overcome! (I:198)

600
Trusting Me that the situation is in My hands will help you to rise above and make out of you that which you were not, but
what you have always felt destined to become. (I:233)

Give Me your mess, and Im going to create a Masterpiece of My perfect harmony and order out of it! (I:239)

You must learn to rise above even your physical needs and let them dictate your life no longer! (I:241)

What you will need most of all is faith to protect you from fear and despair! Faith for miracles to help you rise above the
most atrocious and miserable circumstances of all times! (I:297)

If you keep your eyes on Me and you dont care what else happens around you, then youll rise above, youll overcome,
and things will fall into their proper place on your left and on your right! (I:304)

I want to show you who the true heroes and conquerors are: those who rise above the rules and confines of the physical
world by My omnipotent Power! (I:315)

Whatever the devil tries to present to you as reality or relevant is absolutely irrelevant, and doesnt stand a chance as soon
as you let Me move in with My reality, that what I consider relevant and important! The devil goes: Oh, but the money, and
all the bills... I say, Seek ye first My Kingdom and the welfare of My sheep, seek My lost souls, and all these things will be
added unto you, freely!
Half-heartedness doesnt have to be your destiny! I have given you the power to Rise Above your natural weaknesses! You
can decide to use that Power and overcome!
Will you overcome your tendency to compromise, to accept the devils easy way out in this life?
Make the choice to overcome! Make the choice to defy all your natural weaknesses and all that the devil will scream into
your ears, and be a faithful servant of Mine! (I:392)

The devil wants to strip you of your rights and your freedoms to serve Me, but I want you to rise above all that and grow
above it. (I:401)

Just keep focusing on Me, knowing that I'm your secret to success, the One Who can ensure your becoming a true winner
and conqueror and overcomer! (I:415)

Just float on My grace and in My strength, which is perfected in weakness, and rise above! (I:423)

You have available now for yourselves the same power that I had, and that My disciples had, to do miracles and to
overcome the Devil and all his temptations, fears, doubts, agonies and devices he tries to trick you with, and as the days
will grow ever darker, that light of the truth of the keys will also ever shine brighter, for where sin doeth abound, there
grace doeth much more abound. (I:428)

Find in Me true abundance when you're lacking, and the ability to rise above your circumstances.
I don't want you to be swayed by them, nor have them dictate your moods or actions, I want you to learn to have Me dictate
your circumstances by your trust and by your prayers. (I:436)

Overcomers - and that's what I have called and 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 and their needs and are driven by
compassion for them.
Overcomers focus first of all on Me, then on others and their needs, and not on their own. Choose to be an overcomer
today. Choosing to be an overcomer means forgetting about yourself. (I:457)

I want to be a true mirror to you that shows you your flaws, but can also help you to overcome them, and that is not
achieved by ignoring them. (I:460)

Keep on overcoming by praising Me, trusting Me and loving Me in spite of anything, and I will give you that white stone,
and in it a name written that no one else will know but you - and Me! A name that will be your special code of direct link-up
and instant utter communication and oneness with Me, your personal access code to My heart. I cannot grant just anyone
access and entrance to the Holy of holies and inner core of My heart, as I'm sure you will understand, but only to those
who will approve themselves in this life as true overcomers.
You see the difference between those who are saved, but are failing Me throughout their lifetimes and those who will be
overcomers? You see now the reward that's going to make it all worth it? To him that overcometh will I give all the best of
the secret hidden treasures as described in My Book of Revelation. (I:479)

Even your flaws are from My hand, and thus, are ultimately for your best; not to feel bad about them or get all negative
about, but to see them as challenges to rise above, and - if nothing else - as tools to make you appreciate My Perfection
more, the full extent of which you will get to experience when you come Home to Me. (I:506)

What greater gift could you acquire than the ability to rise above all earthly and physical circumstances, according to your
need? (I:519)
601
Those who make My goals their goals and My business their business will thrive and rise above and just ride on the wave
of My will, but those who continue to selfishly seek the fulfillment of their own desires and plans, thereby often standing in
the way of those who would seek to do My will above all, will be taken out of the way or fall by the wayside... (I:520)

I try to give you clues and help you how to overcome the weakness of the flesh and try to show you how to rise above all
those things that hold you down. I'm saying, "You can do it, if you believe!" In fact, you can do all things through Me, if you
believe! (I:536)

I am capable of taking care of any amount of contrary circumstances and turn them to your good, and, as I have promised,
"I will make a way where there is no way".
I have also said that I have put before you an open door that no man can shut. (I:552)

The power to obtain the victory and overcome all obstacles is in your hands, but it depends on your application, and your
determination to wield that power, that will actually do it and give you the victory. You need to get up and grab it! (I:558)

Just rise above all the negative circumstances! (I:568)

In spite of all and anything the enemy might try to do to stop us, we shall overcome. I have already overcome the enemy,
and that's why you will also overcome him through Me. (I:578)

Don't view circumstances as obstacles, but as stepping stones, and rise above... (II:17)

I want you to progress, to focus on higher goals, and to have the faith for Me to overcome any and all impossibilities. I
want you to realize that there are no barriers that can hold you back, whether it be a poor physical condition, a shattered
personal relationship, or a poor financial status.
I want you to be fully aware and conscious of the fact that I am able and willing to alter your conditions favorably for you at
any time and in any situation.
It's a good time to apply the power to rise above when you're down and you can't go on!
It's a good time for Me to do a miracle when you find yourself in an impossible situation. See the opportunity instead of the
difficulty!
The truth is all you need in a world of lies, in order to cut through and rise above.
The truth and the knowledge of the truth will help you rise above and free you from all the confines, simply because you're
realizing that they're living a lie. (II:41)

Despise not the greatest treasure, the greatest riches I have poured out to mankind in this day and age, for in them you find the
strength to overcome, to rise above and the secret to everything you will ever need: My Word! (II:51)

Don't keep your eyes on the "impossibilities" of your circumstances, but on Me and the fact that they each come from My
hand, only to draw you closer to Me and as a test to see whether you're going to fall for the lie that indeed there is such a
thing as "impossible" or whether you're going to accept My challenge and turn the "impossible" situation over to Me to
deal with and prove to you again that there is no such thing. (II:54)

You overcome fear of people's reactions, pride, laziness, compromise and disobedience by fighting against these things
with My Word and prayer...
You overcome them by going on the attack! (II:117)

I don't just want you to begrudgingly endure the pain, but to rise above and overcome the pain as a cheerful winner. (II:118)

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. I'm so proud of My overcomers! (II:120)

Remember Me, who resisted not the contradiction of sinners, but endured (Heb.12:1,2).
You become an overcomer by enduring victoriously. (II:128)

The only way to rise above is to focus on Me, not the seemingly overwhelming forces of the enemy. (II:148)

Sometimes the very thing you dread the most might actually be the thing I want you to work on most to tackle, or strive to
overcome. (II:162)

Learn to love others in spite of their faults! Recognize that they are all victims of something greater, just like you, and that
you're all there to help each other to overcome those weaknesses and things that hold you captive. (II:179)

It's not the natural thing to rejoice in your weaknesses, to praise Me for them. It's rather a supernatural thing to do. But it's
one of the secrets of Rising Above! (II:220)

602
Life is a series of confrontations with often very intricately concocted temptations of the devil to get you to veer off the
straight and narrow. He will sometimes work for years to render your service to Me in a certain area useless, or he'll plant
phobias in your head that you'll have to overcome first before you can burn free...
I cannot give you the victory without you having done your part of fighting. (II:232)

The main point and lesson, when you're faced with a trial, a burden, any challenge, is: are you going to give it to Me, or
what are you going to do? If you have three options: a) hand it to Me, b) freak out and despair, or c) to try to tackle it in
your own strength, which option do you think is the right one?
Next time you're faced with anything that might frighten or stress you, just remember the abc of success and overcoming.
The right answer is always a): hand it to Me! (II:265)

I have given you the Power to overcome any obstacle, any weakness, any problem you might encounter! (II:294)

Will you rise above your own personal, natural tendencies, preferences and characteristics?
Everybody can love those of their own kind. That's easy. But if you want to be part of My chosen overcomers, then you're
going to have to render a bit of a superior performance than the average! (II:315)

The more you realize that you're not a part of their world, the more you will cling to Me, and the more I will empower you to
rise above this world. (II:340)

The greater the problem, the greater the victory, and the more it's going to strengthen your faith in the end. You need those
greater problems, in order to give you greater faith, in order to tackle even greater problems, greater obstacles and
seeming impossibilities in the future. (II:341)

What makes you think that I'm limited in My Power to save you? My Power isn't limited, just your faith! My arm isn't too
short, it's just your vision, your scope - your faith is short-sighted! You can always only see up to the point where the next
obstacle appears. But from a bird's eye view, it isn't really there. It isn't really relevant. You just fly over it... so what? "They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles." One of the surest ways to
rise above your problems, circumstances and obstacles is praising Me for them, accepting them happening to you and
finding Me there. (II:363)

Rising above - or riding the waves of life's circumstances - means treating success and failure both the same, as success,
that is; there is no such thing as failure to the man of faith. (II:366)

You can choose to rise above anything; not only your own weaknesses, but also those of others, simply by not allowing
them to affect you adversely. It's not the same as simply ignoring them; it's a supernatural act, because it requires a
miracle of My love. Love's power is so prevalent, that anything about any person which might be disliked by another is
simply "overshadowed" and made invisible, annihilated by it. (II:499)

Even if you don't feel victorious, you can still be a victor, more than a conqueror, even though you don't feel like a
conqueror at all. (II:502)

I'm showing you the right way, which way you need to go to overcome, to rise above, to succeed: you just need to turn
around, and instead of following all those other misleading voices, you just come to Me and follow Mine! (II:505)

It takes overcoming everything the devil will use to throw in your way in order to stop you from doing it, any kind of
temptation and distraction, inkling and craving... It takes strong faith, vision and discipline to keep your focus on the thing
I have commanded or asked you to do and to see it through till the end. (II:514)

I do things "King-of-kings"- style. If you don't see anything magnificent and glorious about this day, then it's due to your
personal perception of it! It's only due to your lack of faith to see beyond and rise above physical circumstances. Because
the more you see with the eyes of faith, the more you will see My glorious golden opportunities in even the blackest of
nights and most gloomy situations! (II:523)

Look at the positive, not at the negative circumstances, but beyond them, at My Power to alter them, and at My purpose in
them to teach, train and strengthen you, trusting Me that I know what I'm doing. (II:545)

If you keep your eyes on Me, on My Promises and on My Love for you, you will know that I give you - and have already
given you - the potential to overcome all these obstacles, these weaknesses, both, your own and those of others that bug
you. I have made you an overcomer.
My Love for you is so strong that this Love in you can overcome all that. You don't have to allow these things to bog or tie
you down. In fact, all the enemy's attempts to do so are nothing but empty bluffs. My Love in you is strong enough to
overcome and rise above all that.
You can just let all that antagonism, rejection and resentment bounce off like a rubber ball, or like a stone off a rubber wall,
you're immune to it. You see what's happening, and you figure, "Hey, this is supposed to hurt me," and you're expecting
the pain, but I'm asking you, where is the pain? It isn't there because My love for you is so strong, it just erases it.

603
You're thinking you should be offended, that this thing might become a problem, but I'm telling you, what problem? What
offense? There is nothing! You don't feel any offense, you just feel the temptation to be offended, but I'm causing you to
rise above this, simply because of My great Love for you. My love for you is stronger than all obstacles, stronger than any
lack of love or all the hatred in the world or of the enemy that would destroy you.
That's why I'm telling you, this is not a problem, this is but a joke. Just focus on My Love for you, and everything else will
become irrelevant. Focus on what I'm trying to teach you. Focus on what I'm giving you! (II:549)

No matter how hard or tough or adverse the circumstances, you can rise above them.
If nothing can cause you to give up, then this means you tested "negative" to any infection with the devils virus of the
loathsome Giving Up disease. But sometimes you've got to build a resistance to a certain 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 and the disease. (II:568)

If you see what's happening in the spirit, instead of the carnal view, then you're on your way to overcoming.
The flesh will tell you, "Hey, this is not what I'd call success! It doesn't look very much like God is blessing you! Why are
you having so many problems? You must be doing something wrong!" But you'll be mature enough to tell, "To hell with
success or failure! To hell with the circumstances! All that counts is the battle, and that I'm on the right side, so, bring it
on!" (II:581)

It's easier than you think for you to change your circumstances; all it often takes is your choice to want to have them
changed! (II:608)

Yes, the enemy is there, and he rules the world, but he doesn't rule your world! You are a citizen of My world, the bigger
picture, the larger Matrix, that engulfs and surrounds everything, including the puny, artificial matrix of the enemy. Mine is
the Real Thing. And if you experience the real thing and are part of it, the results of the curse and all the disturbances of
the enemy will affect you much less. In fact, you can learn to let them have virtually no effect on you whatsoever, which is
what the art of rising above is all about, and what I have been stressing in My words to you from the beginning: the ability
to rise above your circumstances. You rule, they don't rule over you! (II:622)

I give you My Power to overcome all things, even death! Live in that conscience, that assurance, in that vocation, that
calling, that destiny! Play the role I have created you to perform!
If the Son hath made you free, you shall be free indeed! Grant Me the permission to exercise My Power in you to the full!
(II:625)

See the opportunity, not just the obstacle! (II:639)

Real enjoyment is knowing that I have given you the Power to overcome and rise above anything. (II:645)

Stand before Me naked and humble, but in truth - no pretenses, not trying to be something, just accepting what you are:
dust upon which I have blown, and trusting that if I will blow on you yet once again, you will rise above it all!
Choose to overcome: No longer will you be ruled by fears and anxieties or circumstances, but you will rule them. You can
take the upper hand, take charge, take command. (III:14)

I ordain you to go and bring faith where there is doubt, hope where there is despair, love where there is hate, pardon where
there is injury, light where there is darkness, joy where there is sadness! That means, you will be an overcomer, and eraser
of all those negative manifestations, and you will fill that dark void of nothingness, wherever you see it, with My warmth.
(III:31)

I want you to learn to rise above the circumstances, because they're going to get worse. (III:50)

There is no other way to overcome your enemy than by getting to know him, his tactics, his schemes, his ways of
operating.
How can you grow beyond your limits unless you've been driven to your limits to find out what they are and where they
are? There will always be new limits to discover and explore; you will reach points you have never known before. But you
can rest assured that if I have trusted you with the former one, that you were going to be able to handle it and make it
through that one, I'm also allowing you to handle the next, because I know you can. (III:74)

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.
True victors don't go by what "it seems like." They know that those appearances can be deceiving. They don't fall for "false
evidence appearing real." Instead, they cling to My Word, that all things are possible to him that believeth. It seems
impossible? Make it possible, by believing anyway. You can make it possible, you can make it happen through your faith,
because all things are possible to him that believes.
It may seem to you as if you're losing ground, but you refuse to believe in the loss, because the eyes of faith can see that
beyond every apparent loss there is always something greater to gain from it and through it. It's never a true loss, but only
an opportunity for something greater to be gained by it. They've learned that apparent losses are only opportunities for
604
progress, because they've come to experience that "God never takes one thing away from you without giving you
something better." (III:78)

The challenges are there for you to tackle and overcome, not for you to be overcome by them and fold up in dismay! (III:88)

"Victory is life," so, walk in the victory! Walk in the life of a victor, one who is born and destined to win, simply because he
has chosen to fight on the right side of the ones who are willing to seemingly appear to be the losers... the losers that turn
winners. (III:95)

Remember My Promises to "him that overcometh" in the Book of Revelation! It's all about overcoming and resisting those
temptations of the enemy, overcoming all seeming impossibilities, difficulties and potential excuses to quit, and rise above
them all on the wings of faith in Me, refusing to doubt that what I have promised I am well able to keep. (III:99)

Welcome to the battle of faith of overcoming your fears and all the reasons in the world why you shouldn't be doing this.
This is your "Don Quixote destiny," your chance to "reach the unreachable stars." To become a knight, even though you
never were a knight!
If you're met with resistance, you'll know what to do: just pull out your lance and attack those darn windmill giants! (III:105)

Only I can help you rise above Satan's attempts to slow you down or stop a thing from becoming a success. (III:148)

You've got the power to control or at least influence the circumstances, and I want you to avail yourself of that power
more. There will come a time when circumstances will be too tough and too difficult to just "accept" them and take things
the way they are, and it would be good for you to train and prepare now, so you'll be ready then to face things in the
appropriate spirit and attitude of faith. (III:151)

The Holy Spirit helps you to rise above the confines and limitations of your ego, and lets you find out that you'll get much
further in life if you let Me take over. (III:152)

The most important factor is the love and unity which people must see in you, and the overcoming of the obstacles and the
odds involved in this is going to be a testimony in itself. (III:169)

I'm not saying that people should spend time thinking about their sins, but I would recommend that they allow Me to show
them a few of their weaknesses and allow Me to help them overcome them and work on them. And one simply cannot start
overcoming a certain weakness until they become aware of it. (III:175)

I can help you overcome the circumstances. You've got at your disposal My very best teams, all ready to support you and
assist you in licking the enemy and getting him out of your system for continued smooth functioning and a happy ending.
(III:240)

I'm leaving the ball in your court, no whining about circumstances accepted. It's time for you to rise above them and look
beyond them, to accept the power I have given you to change them or to act in spite of them! (III:272)

All I need is people's will on My side and a little bit of their cooperation, and they'll be able to rise above anything. (III:298)

While it's somewhat important to recognize the weak spots in people, and not be fooled into thinking they're not there, it's
also important to rise above them, just as you would any other obstacle. Sins and weaknesses are for overcoming and
fighting and winning the victory over them.
If you see a weakness in somebody, start seeking a way to try to help them overcome it with My Help! (III:318)

It may get more difficult, with time, to overcome old habits, but nothing is impossible to him that believeth. (III:339)

Once you've overcome death, what other obstacle could there possibly be? All the devil's power is in death and the fear
thereof, so, be of good cheer, I have overcome all that he can muster up! My love is a fire that all his flood of death cannot
quench. I'm an unquenchable fire that will bring life, and life, and ever more life, even through all the death, destruction
and havoc the devil will wreak and unleash upon the Earth. I have overcome him, and will cause you also to overcome!
(III:371)

Old habits die hard, but I have given you the power to overcome them, and Im expecting you to use it! (III:416)

What it all boils down to is overcoming your own weaknesses first, before you try and help others overcome theirs.
You must overcome your own weaknesses first, in order to become the right kind of sample thats going to make it
possible for people to receive the message thats going to help them overcome their weaknesses of doubt or fear or
disbelief. (III:421)

Its time to rise above all the things that hinder you, time to really believe Me for My Promises I have given, of the Power to
overcome all these things. (III:428)

605
Its important that you believe that I have given you the power to overcome your weaknesses, and dont accept the mindset
of the enemy that youre helpless against them. (III:429)

Time will tell who will have really learned the lesson of reliance on Me, and who will truly rise above all things, empowered
by Me and My Spirit alone, not by natural abilities. (III:431)

Wisdom and maturity are supposed to enable you to rise above your natural inclinations.
You may feel hopeless, but youve got to overcome those feelings of hopelessness! (III:447)

Only love casts out and overcomes the fears that you need to overcome in order to serve Me successfully when fear will
rule the world. (III:456)

In order to successfully walk My path, you will be required more and more to overcome human limitations as you avail
yourself of My Power.
In order to get along with people and cope with, learn how to rise above, overcome or overlook their weaknesses, you have
to spend time at it. (III:462)

Just keep on loving in the face of a lack of love. Ignore the circumstance of the void, and just act as if it werent there and
continue to fill the atmosphere with your positive vibrations from Me, and you will often bring about miraculous results
that way. (III:491)

You cant blame circumstances and allow them dominion over you, whether theyre tough or pleasant. It all still depends
on your choices, and what youre going to make out of those circumstances, and whether youre going to regard them as
the supreme factor, or Me, able to help you to master each one of them according to My will, and not as they will. (III:506)

Lack of support, being forced to walk alone just with Me and Me alone on their side against the opposition, is precisely
where inner strength comes from that makes one rise above the status quo. (III:521)

Youve got to use and apply the power in faith, and not with an attitude of lets see if this works!
Faith knows God will do it, and He does!
It doesnt mean that all your troubles, trials and challenges will suddenly, poof, vanish into thin air! But it does mean that

above him as you fight. (III:543)

but a real, actual change in the physical. (III:558)

You are My heralds of Light, and you must learn to be overcomers of the darkness and not be intimidated nor affected by
it!
It may seem like a lot to ask when the darkness appears to be so overwhelming and nearly all-encompassing, but thats
where faith comes in, the little strength that you have, which is going to turn out greater than everything the enemy can
muster in the end.
See the victory beyond the battle, the resurrection past the crucifixion, the new glorious life beyond the grave, the brilliant
light just beyond that stretch of pitch black darkness. (IV:12)

you. (IV:40)

pain of crucifixion, or whatever equivalent in your life, your trials, your problems, your times of doubt and despair

experience a glorious and miraculous resurrection.
Thats how you overcome. Not by constantly riding a high horse, but by getting up again after you fell by committing your
life to Me. Im trying to teach you to treat your circumstances impartially and treat success and failure the same; to
stay in the same victorious spirit and attitude, come rain or come shine to stay on top, spiritually and mentally, even
when youre on the ground.
If you commit your spirit into My hands, I can help you to be cheerful and victorious in spite of any circumstances. I can
help you to truly overcome. After all, what else does it mean to be an overcomer, but to rise above adverse circumstances?
The greater the adversity, the greater the victory! (IV:187)

The enemys forces may be there, and theyre real and pounding on your door, trying to divert, distract and intimidate you,
but I represent a stronger Force in your life that overcomes them. (IV:217)

My greatest Promises are made to the overcomers. But how can you be an overcomer, if there is nothing to ever
overcome? And in order to overcome it, you have to strive, and struggle and fight and make an effort to do so. Its not

The only way youre going to rise above and walk on water is by keeping your eyes on Me, not yourself, your own
weaknesses, nor anyone elses. (IV:259)

Thats what the struggle is really all about: how not to be overwhelmed and overcome by all the negative influences and
circumstances in life, but to maintain the upper hand and rise above them all and be an overcomer instead. (IV:262)

just going to keep on fighting, keep making an effort and keep giving it your best and your all, regardless of whether you
happen to be caught in a losing streak of not. (IV:279)

There isnt anything I couldnt help you to overcome.

The one Constant you have in whatever situation and walk of life you encounter is Me, and I am what and Who you can rely
on, no matter where, and under what awkward, strange or scary circumstances. If you take Me with you wherever you go,
you cant lose. Even if you feel like youre losing everything. (IV:338)

Take on a positive attitude and see the challenge to rise above, the opportunity to get to a better place from here than you
could have gotten otherwise! (IV:350)

True optimism is when you can see the good side within the bad.
The future is only as gloomy as much as you allow the devil to cheat you out of your power to rise above any
circumstances! (IV:366)

Im there to help you overcome. Im not necessarily here to take your problems away like magic or pop them like bubbles,
but Im always here at your side to offer My aid in helping you overcome the obstacles. (IV:368)

If you look at the physical circumstances, the wind and the waves, of course, thats intimidating and less than
encouraging. Thats why you must learn to overcome and rise above the circumstances. (IV:381)

Its all about overcoming.

What is it thats to overcome? Paul gave the clue: Dont be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Rom.12;21)!
Theres the evil and sin in your own hearts to overcome (as opposed to being overcome by it, surrendering and yielding to
it), and then theres the outside evil to overcome (instead of allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by it).
That is the challenge. In school, youre asked to solve problems. In lifes school, evil is the problem, and youre supposed
to solve it. The challenge is, How do I get evil not to overcome me, but how do I overcome it instead?
Being counted among the overcomers means being one of those who bear the badge of having made the grade and
absorbed the lesson.
Eventually they stopped allowing evil to overcome them, and they decided to overcome it instead, to nip it in the bud and
not let it raise its ugly head above their own anymore.
They finally stopped giving in to temptation and started making the right choices for a change. (IV:382)

True love can give you faith to overcome all and any obstacles. (IV:393)

The real great overcomers throughout history were those who learned how to turn their curses into blessings somehow.
(IV:395)

The obstacles that are there to overcome, just as in every good and perfect thing I put before you, are like an additional
proof of authenticity, since it confirms My usual modus operandi, and it resembles the way I work in your life. (IV:400)

Dont be intimidated by those who would seek to enslave you and drag you to the same level of a superficial, largely
meaningless, purely materialistic existence as the one theyre on themselves, but continue to rise above and remember
who you are: not one of them, but one of Mine! (IV:415)

The current seemingly hostile state of the universe seems to deny that truth of unconditional, unlimited love. But then
again, nobody ever denied that there are obstacles and odds to overcome in order for that truth to prevail and truly expose
itself as the ruling principle of the universe, even against all that seems to contradict, deny and negate it. (IV:433)

Circumstances conditions thats what you still go by. Forgotten are the visions of rising above even what they
commonly call reality. Forgotten are the visions of the Matrix, and how I have empowered you and all of My true
believers to overcome their paradigm, just as I was enabled by the Father to overcome.
Yes, there was a cross to carry, there was suffering to endure, but we do it victoriously.
We are those who overcome the world! So, lets do it, and overcome the world, with all its limitations and circumstances
that threaten to lock you in! (IV:446)

My scope and angle gives you the faith to overcome the obstacles, since all of a sudden they dont seem so large and
overwhelming anymore. (IV:477)

Put Me to use by letting Me help you rise above it all and overcome through Me even as I have overcome! (IV:487)

The sooner you learn to truly avail yourself of My Everything, the sooner you will finally be able to wave goodbye to their
nothing, because you wont need it anymore. Youll have found something better, and a great weapon and means to
overcome and rise above their nothingness. (IV:509)

I want and need you to rise above the circumstances and look beyond, at Me, Who can and will master them all for you, as
long as you keep making that effort to stay close to Me. (2011:1)

I represent radical change when it comes to the ways of this world, which are ever fleeting and temporal, soon to remain
no more, as promised, and by taking on My eternal mindset, you live a quite different life which enables you to rise above
the temporal. (2011:9)

Youre a victim of lifes circumstances, and Im trying to liberate you from your victimization by teaching you to rise
above your circumstances; and every now and then I alter your circumstances to such an extent that you can tell that a

There comes a time, when youre tempted to say, I cant take it any longer, and you feel like everything lifes handing you
is too much for you. But if you overcome those notions and decide youre just going to take it, youre also going to make
it. (2011:53)

You may not be on the wrong track altogether, in asking Me for help in developing skills at rising above your
circumstances, overcoming and enduring them. If you ask Me, Lord, help me not to be such a whiner, I just might.
We walk by faith and not by sight and Set your affections on things above means just that: you dont go by the visible,
the immediate, tangible circumstances, but you allow your life to be guided and directed by Something unseen, an
invisible force to help you overcome the negative forces trying to drag you down (2011:55)

them.
Regardless of whether My current message for you is either stick! and hold on! or move on, it always remains the
same: Trust! And rise above! In any new situation there will always be new challenges and adversities to rise above
and get the victory over, so its natural that I would want you to learn that in your present situation first, before I lead you
to the next. (2011:92)

to come. (2011:110)

I have overcome the world and thus offer hope to anyone who is looking for a way out of its mess, that it can be overcome,
and in fact, I would encourage and challenge you to overcome it. But the only way that works is if you tear yourself loose

highway to nowhere! (2011:144)

obtain the victory. (2012:28)

more pleasurable, entertaining and comfortable. (2012:32)

The difference between the evil exerted against you by outside forces and that which protrudes from yourself, is that the
former can be with skill and prayer evaded, but the latter needs to be overcome.

the spirit. (2012:166)

something to overcome every day. (2013:7)

you? (2013:25)

overcoming the evils in this world, both in their own hearts and lives, and those of others. (2013:26)

Its a natural thing to treat those better who you instinctively know will be helpful to your own cause, will be to your
advantage and help to further your own ends. Its not a big secret.
Its true that you treat those people who are (potentially) useful to you in some way differently than the rest of the world.
Overcoming that inclination, and striving to treat everyone the same isnt all that easy to do, but worth a try, or at least

or personal interest. (2013:34)

things the way they really are. All you see is what the tiny little lens of your own personal needs allows you to, which puts
you in pretty much the same fix as just about everyone else in the world, playing a part as another cog in their machine,
instead of rising above it. (2013:87)

perception of things? Why not become a visionary discovering new thrilling mysteries and truths every day simply by

beyond and rise above this mess thats driving you crazy otherwise? (2013:97)

Avail yourself of the power to overcome your circumstances instead of allowing yourself to be overcome by them! (2013:107)

around you, or to the One Whos capable of enabling you to rise above it all. (2013:114)

Getting the victory out of tough times is a challenge, isnt it? Well, thats what rising above amounts to: Overcome
challenges. - Coping with it, no matter how bad. (2016:126)

Conditions and circumstances wont be something to rely on anymore, but something to overcome and rise above with the
Help from Above. (2016:128)

With circumstances on Earth on the most drastic downhill-slope of history, you must learn to overcome their spiritual
effect on you!
The right spiritual state to get in, is to let your heavenly vision rise above your focus on earthly and temporal
circumstances.
Rough conditions down there in earthly life are there to learn to overcome! (2016:140)

You have to make an effort to direct your focus Up Here, to Me and your heavenly helpers who can aid you and support
you in overcoming the physical circumstances dragging you down.
Stay tuned in and focused on Me in order to overcome the dark conditions around you! (2016:141)

Your faith in Me is what will empower you to overcome this world with all the negative occurrences it will bring! (2016:142)

The temptation the enemy manages to get most folks to fall in and yield to, isnt as much the one of being a leader for others, as it
is being ones own leader. And just because you never had the urge or tendency to be or become a leader for others doesnt mean
you didnt fall for that nasty temptation of just being your own boss. Sort of what pride is, and what has been pretty much
Lucifers main weakness and cause to turn the other way. (2016:143)

Sometimes feelings and emotions are something you need to get the victory over. Especially when being caused by the
enemys downhill grooves.
Theyre part of the physical setup, and you have to learn to overcome them through the Power of the Holy Spirit.
You have to learn to handle the not so pleasant circumstances and overcome their influence on your mood and emotions.
Dont see it as too negative, but as part of the preparation for the times when circumstances will become the toughest
ever, and you just have to learn to overcome them through the Spirit.
Put My counsel about rising above and overcoming into action!

613
So far, your circumstances havent been as drastic and as much of a challenge, but the preparation for tough times
includes that ability to rise above no matter what the circumstances are.
Look beyond them and rise above them!
Remember youve got the most powerful enemy there is with all his hoards, whose primary current goal is to attempt to get
you to give up and give in! But resist those attempts of evil, and make your faith come to life that tells you that My Power
to help you overcome them is greater!
The enemys power over earthly circumstances may seem and look greater than the Power from Above, but thats where
faith comes in, to enable you to resist and overcome that visible demonstration of enemy power and put your trust in what
may not be visible right now, and only will result in visible evidence once youve overcome the enemys attempts to kill it,
or will return to you after a temporal defeat (2016:144)

The more you look and focus Up Here and on Me, your Rescuer, Helper and Savior from both the troubles of this world,
along with its growing state of hell produced by its captain soon to come down there, the more you learn and manage to
overcome and rise above whats going on around you down there.
No matter how tough the road ahead of you, keep in mind the vision and focus to overcome!
Your hope lies Here, in the Spirit Realm. So, stay spiritually focused and geared on It! The only chance to help overcome
whats coming at you down there. (2016:147)

Negative feelings caused by physical circumstances have to be learned to resisted and overcome, instead of getting into a
negative attitude and mindset about uncomfortable circumstances or unpleasant physical sentiments.
Its one of those things you have to learn to overcome. Rise above any of those negative feelings and emotions through
the Power of My Spirit! Remember that those emotions are largely carnal intuitions, and have to be overcome by the Holy
Spirit!
Just remember that whats expecting the globe is way more unpleasant than what youre currently having to deal with; so
its time to get used to unpleasant circumstances and having to face them and rise above them in the spirit!
So, overcoming negative circumstances is just one of the main things youre having to learn!
Dont give the carnal and physical slope power over your spirit, but make your spirit rise above them!
See those circumstances as the physical conditions man is usually limited by, but Ive been an Example of overcoming:
walking on water, multiplying and miraculously supplying food, healing fatal diseases, and even raising the dead, just as
some Old Testament prophets were starting to become examples of, being demonstrators of the Fathers and My Power,
which I became the ultimate Example of, but as I said, not the last one. (2016:149)

Another factor on overcoming: Making it through the darkness with My Light. (2016:152)

Keep in a more hopeful gear than just glooming at the dreadful circumstances and conditions! See them as your challenge
of what youre supposed to learn to overcome and rise above!
What youre requiring to see you through a day, you should definitely see as a carnal weakness to overcome! (2016:154)

Get used to overcoming desperate times through heavenly Help! (2016:157)

Its the Miracle-Groove youre going to have to get into in the Spirit through faith, in order to rise above and overcome
all the darkest circumstances of history. (2016:161)

Youll need courage to make it through the times coming; and thus, its already good preparation to overcome the fears of
what might happen to you.
The Spirit goes above the flesh: Its mightier, being the Creator of everything. - And thus, also the Overcomer and
overcoming Force to shelter and protect His believers from the demonstrations of the rule of evil down there. (2016:166)

Raise your confidence in the Power of good overcoming and rising above that of evil!
Rising above and overcoming is all about the heavenly Forces of good overcoming and helping you to rise above the
forces of evil momentarily at power down there!
Faith in what you cant see with your physical eyes is so important; and once realizing that, your confidence in the Power
will rise and grow to a state it will help you overcome the physically visible manifestations of evil around you. (2016:170)

If Im becoming the most important Factor in your life in order for you to overcome all the negative conditions and
circumstances in the world around you hey, trust Me that thats a good sign!
Learn to overcome! Rise Above by looking Up Above! (2016:177)

Have faith in the fact that We Up Here can overcome and thus help you to do so, too anything. No matter how wicked,
evil and atrocious a thing our enemy will come up with! (2016:179)

The necessity to overcome whats around you has become so great and growing by the day that to keep going the way
you went before and trying to do what you did before just wont make any sense anymore. (2016:183)

Being part of the winning team thatll ultimately overcome and win the victory over the forces of evil presently ruling the
world is going to make it all worth it. (2016:195)

614
Make that effort to overcome, rise above, and aim for the victory! (2016:196)

Trust that I know what Im doing and allowing, even though it may not seem or look positive! Sometimes the greatest
positives come through that learning of overcoming and coping with the negative. (2016:204)

Dont let the circumstances have the dominion over your spiritual state and shape, but learn to overcome them and rise
above to get what you need from Up Here!
Dont base your moods on the physical conditions and circumstances around you, but grab hold of the Power to overcome
them through prayer, through the Spirit! (17:6)

Even if you still have a lot of weaknesses to overcome, Im still at your side, and not threatening to leave you, as might be
your impression of earthly folks by your side. (17:8)

You definitely get the point about the need to overcome feelings and emotions when theyre negative.
- Another point of the need to overcome circumstances that might be causing those moods. (17:15)

Take taking things for granted is a negative trait one should work on overcoming! (17:19)

The enemys aiming at getting you into a negative mood is something youve just got to fight to overcome.
Dont let unpleasant circumstances overcome you, but fight to overcome them!
If lifes a tough one, just realize that theres a lot to learn about negative and selfish attitudes! And one of the things to
learn is that, its a fight to overcome them. So, fight the good fight of faith! (17:26)

Learning to overcome difficult circumstances and hindrances makes you stronger in the spirit. (17:59)

If the circumstances youre having to go through have their negative qualities, just remember that those circumstances are
something you have to learn to overcome and rise above!
Aim for the goal of the ability to rise above whats going on around you!
Let your faith enable you to rise above the physical circumstances! (17:65)

That drawnness toward the easy ways is one of the main weaknesses of character, and something to work on overcoming.
(17:66)

Thats why heavenly visions becoming so important: Itll take a lot of faith to overcome the temporal hellish state of the
world, keep that heavenly vision and share it with the receptive ones. (17:69)

If the physical circumstances are tougher than what youre used to, remember, theyre going to get tougher yet, and youve
just got to learn to make that habit to rise above and overcome them! (17:75)

The challenge for believers is to focus and rise above the disadvantages caused by the evil forces ruling down there
temporarily, and keep the vision Up Here: your Goal and Destination. (17:93)

One of the reasons why prayer is just about the most important task and thing to do: asking for Help against the evil one,
and to learn to rise above! (17:94)

Make faith the major force of your life to make you rise above all thats coming!
I said faith just has to be the size of a mustard seed, but with the enemys enlargement of the hellish state on Earth, that
mustard seed has to grow in order to help you rise above his major influences on the world in its greatest state of
darkness coming.
If theres a bit of worry lingering in you, it may just be a reminder from the spirit world to keep you on guard and in prayer
mode without which you wont make it through the times to come! See that worry as a step of preparation by getting you
into prayer groove, putting your efforts and strengths where they belong in order to help you make it and overcome
whatever hindrances rise up before you! (17:99)

Obstacles to overcome and rise above are reminders to stay on guard. (17:103)

The fact that life contains difficult circumstances to overcome should be one to help takeem with a positive attitude.
Take challenges as something positive to strengthen your faith in Me to help you manage and overcome them! (17:104)

Do not let circumstances affect you, but look Up Here, at Me, Who can change them all, or give you the necessary grace
and strength to overcome them. (17:106)

Hows your faith doing that Ill care for you? Overcoming the worries?
What My messages to you about circumstances are indicating and supposed to show you, is that, according to Me, theyre
irrelevant, and simply the group of factors you need to learn to overcome!
Keep trusting in Me, more than relying on whats going on around you, and thus help others to make it through the
seemingly impossible conditions to overcome! (17:108)
615
The toughness of situations to overcome will help you not to take it for granted that youre making it through them in spite
of it, but to give Me some of the honor and glory for helping you and enabling you anyway and regardless, just as I can
help you make it through the toughest of all times coming. (17:118)

Get that Power to overcome any dark conditions and circumstances, to rise above them and stay in a victorious mode!
(17:120)

Another reason to get into the groove of the Spirit of Heaven: to overcome the fear from hell!
The Word of which all things were made should enable you to overcome your fears and worries through raising your faith
in the Forces through which all things came into being
So, see it as another reason and incentive for you to raise your faith and make it grow: to overcome the fears the enemy
would like to harm and weaken you with! (17:122)

Dont let the physical circumstances and conditions around you affect your faith, but remember whos basically in charge
of those things down there, and that you need My Strength and Power to overcome them!
No matter how tough it gets, remember I can help you overcome anything! (17:126)

Real positiveness even enables you to put up with negative comments your living partners make toward you. It just makes
you look beyond and rise above that. (17:129)

The effect of unpleasant circumstances and conditions around you is a tough challenge, I know a challenge of faith. How
strong is it? What obstacles are you letting it help you to overcome, and get you to focus and aim beyond? (17:132)

Remember Without Me ye can do nothing (Jn.15:5)!

In times coming, hardly any other verse will apply more to the situation, condition, hurdles to overcome and lifes
challenges. (17:135)

If you got ahold of the greatest Positive that ever came to the world, it should keep you going in a positive way, filling you
with positive input and spirit to help you manage, overcome and deal with anything negative you might have to encounter
down there. (17:136)

Resist the enemys temptations to get you to worry Overcome that temptation, and resist him! (17:143)

As far as the ultimate changes are concerned, the positive ones, theyre from Me, and will be brought in through My
Return. However the closest changes, straight ahead of you, are of the enemy, and you can tell that those will be the
greatest challenge of history to overcome.
In spite of anything the enemy might do to discourage you or get you to worry, let My Strength and Power in your life go to
work in a more active way than his! Thats part of overcoming: The impact and amount of the Help and Strength from Us
in your life has to rise above the influences of the enemy.
Remember that largely, the conditions down there are run through his power; but thats why youve got to get ahold of
Ours to overcome his!
The way your faith grows to the level where you manage to overcome evil is simply by being confronted with it, making
you grow in the resistance against it. (17:145)

 What Jesus Had 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 bulls eye with the right impact. That's what good prayer is like.
Your soul is the bow, the arrow is your prayer, and My heart is the bulls eye. I am the True Goal, and if you hit Me, itll
always have the desired effect. You only need to shoot short distance, as Im always close. Just wrap your burden, your
question or desire around the arrow and let it fly to Me. (I:7)

Pray for those around you, for your prayers can do and 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 thats how I will be able to shine through you. (I:17)

Shoot the arrow of your vision, your destiny, your prayers into the future, which is as bright and golden as My Promises.
(I:19)

Once you learn to pray in everything you do, youll 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, youre also loving Me. (I:25)

The best thing you can do is pray! (I:38)

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, and still you are
not moved to come before Me and pray as you should. Wanna change the world? Pray! Wanna do things that count and
make a difference? Pray! Whichever way you do it, pray!
I can show you great and 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 and ask Me to perform any wonders and miracles for you
that are needed to obtain the victory! Ill remove any obstacles in your path and help you defeat all your enemies... (I:40)

You should be shedding tears in desperate prayer for all the heartless injustices, cruelties and 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 wont be
found guilty of their sins, too, by participating in their delicacies they derive out of other peoples pain. (I:47)

Through prayer you have the power which created the universe at your disposal, at your service to do anything for you, so
dont let laziness keep you from making use of it! (I:48)

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 and the lives of those
around you! Just do it! (I:49)

Not many people have this direct wire to Me, the Creator and Master of all things, Who can even see to it that those who
dont have those things will have them, if you would only pray and 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 and 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 and 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, youre doing the greatest work,
the greatest service , the most valuable favor to that person you ever could, for you dont only give of your own time and
heart to them, but you rely on Me to do the work you cannot possibly do. They dont spend their time in the Devils device
of worry, which is fear and a lack of trust, but they wisely invest their time into the currency of faith and 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 and thereby be a blessing unto your fellowman! You want to be free and 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! (I:50)
617
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! Youre 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 and cease to struggle and 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 and refusing to yield to the temptation of evil, recognizing
that the power and Kingdom are truly Gods and not the usurpers. (I:54)

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. (I:66)

You must pray for every little thing, and not takeem for granted, or they might not come to pass. (I:73)

If you want to get things done, start off whatever youre going to do by praying! (I:75)

Pray for your children, and Ill show you what to do. Ask Me what you can do to bring each one back to Me! (I:84)

Look for someone to help, too cheer up, to encourage, to pray for, to witness to!
Youre not bound by time, tide nor space, you can just close your eyes anywhere you are and 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 dont
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 and 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 youre trapped by the hopelessness and discouragement of this world, break out into My Spirit and
know that I can use you wherever you are to love someone else. (I:86)

Pray for a love for the sheep, like a good shepherd has who cares for the flock, feeds the sheep, prays for the lost and is
concerned about them! (I:91)

A day in My courts is better than a thousand others. An hour spent in the halls of My courts, in prayer and praise and
worshipping, seeking and 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, youre
leaving the matter in the hands of Him Who is really able to do something about it. (I:108)

I can answer every question if youll but ask, solve every problem you put Me in charge of, fill any need and empty space
you open for Me! (I:156)

Why dont you just say, Lets pray!? So much pain and suffering could be eased if youd simply pray more.
point others, who are having a problem, to the Answer Man, and whats easier than offering to pray together? Take the
problem to Me! (I:188)

Pray for Me to help you to be more efficient in your work and to really help you to accomplish something that lasts, fruit
that remains and 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 and communion with Me. That way you can always be sure you'll be
doing the right thing, if you follow Me step by step and let Me guide you by the hand. Pray without ceasing. It's like keeping
your 2-way radio on all the time. Ready and on stand-by to receive new last minute instructions and to let Me know
whenever you need help. Just keep your battery recharged and stay tuned to My wavelength. You just might have to turn
the knob a little every now and 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. (I:191)

When you think of Me, its like the contact is made from your side. Im always there, but as long as you ignore Me, you
dont profit as much from My presence, naturally, as you do when you tune in to Me. And, of course, I cant use you as
much as I would like to if youre literally in a state oblivious to Me and you fail to acknowledge Me.
In all thy ways, acknowledge Me, and I will direct your paths.
You can determine the positive or negative outcome of a situation by deciding whether youre going to pray or not.
Dont let the Enemy and 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. (I:192)

So few stir themselves up to call upon Me, to intercede for others. So few weep and feel and pain with those who are lost.
618
(I:193)

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 and 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. (I:194)

Dont let the misery of the World just pass you by untouched, but implore Me to change things! (I:199)

If you would get desperate with Me everyday, you would find so much greater strength and grace for all the things you do
and want to do.
If you reach out to Me, I will reach out to you! (I:201)

Lots of people pray, but few wait for the answer. (I:210)

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 and 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. (I:216)

It behooves you to pray as if everything depended on prayer, which it does. (I:217)

One of the first steps to getting something done for Me is to pray for them to happen. Its like youre charging My angels to
go before you and 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 and united prayer, thats one major NWO: eliminate that bad habit and
replace it by the way its supposed to be.
Youve just got to make it a rule: No more decisions without counseling and praying together about it, period! (I:232)

Nothing comes from nothing. The same principle applies to your prayer life. Ye have not because ye ask not.
Im bound to certain rules and 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. (I:251)

Whatever troubles you, give it to Me, and dont 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. (I:254)

Come to Me, come down to the depths of the core of your heart in desperation, and find Me there, waiting with open arms
and eager to answer you, eager to supply your needs! I have needed and longed for you to stir yourselves up. Its the
indifference that won't let Me cope, that wont let Me work, that wont let Me stir Myself up, as long as you dont stir up
yourselves!
I have to create a need, and 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 and your desperation!
When theres a need, it creates a vacuum. Its 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. Im pleased when you earnestly cry out
for My help, I need that!
As the need grows, your desperation also needs to grow. (I:259)

If youd spend more time with Me about your issues, youd find out that Ill 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, and 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.! (I:268)

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. Its 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 dont give them back to Me, commit them unto Me or into My care, you dont
always commend a situation into My hands, nor command Me concerning the work of My hands; you dont tell Me what
you expect Me to do about a certain thing.
You dont do it because youre too lazy, or distracted, or because youre afraid to be disappointed in case I dont answer
according to your liking, and 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, its always better to have prayed for a situation and to commit it into My hand, than not. The
results will always be better!
619
And theres a lot of things for you to pray and get stirred up and even desperate about! If you leave anything to itself, it
wont just automatically improve by itself. Everything needs care, and the best care you can give to things, people and
situations, is to pray for them. Thats why sometimes I have to put you in desperate situations where almost the only thing
thats left for you to do is pray and trust Me for the outcome!
Pray and cover everything there is to pray for, until you know, it is done and you have done all you could! (I:280)

If you cant handle the situation anymore, just say sincerely: Sorry, but Ive got to get a hold of the Lords mind for this
situation first right now, so, would you mind if I just take a break and pray for a few minutes? Or, Come on, lets pray
together! (I:281)

Praying is not only an essential part of love a parent should have for their child, but its actually the most important and
effective thing you can and must do!
Im bringing you to the end of your wits. The only chance you have is to bring the matter before Me. Im your only chance!
(I:285)

Youll see just how vast the difference is that prayer has made in your life and in the course of your destiny. (I:287)

The greater the desperation, the greater the vacuum, the power with which you draw strength, energy, input and 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 and implore Me, seek Me and beg Me to fill the need. Where there is no need, there is no space to fill...
(I:302)

When you cant do anything but pray, let Me remind you that praying is not the least you can do for someone, but the most.
Theres not as much in it for you as when you comfort them with your natural presence, but believe Me: prayer is much
more effective! Youll see it one day! (I:338)

Anything that makes you pray more than you usually would, is a blessing in disguise. (I:350)

Im trying to get you all to pray and praise without ceasing, so that your channels will be occupied by Me all the time and
thus youll give no place to the Devil...
In order to really hit home, youve got to focus the power not only onto yourself and pray or praise for your own benefit,
but itll be lots more effective if you turn that power outward, toward those that surround you and have them benefit from
it. (I:359)

Youve got to want it! Im bound by what you actually ask Me to do, so, pray and ask Me.
You absorb the vibes of those around you, and if you pass them on to Me and commit them into My hands and ask Me to
work in their lives, you can change them and change your environment, your surrounding your world! I can give you the
answers and solutions the words and attitudes and actions those people need, individually tailored to their data, which
you first transmitted to Me. You transmit the data, and I send you the answer, the update, the plug-in or fix-up, whatever
they need. If youre too tired to do anything else, theres still sooo much you can accomplish through prayer!
You can be partakers of My sufferings and help Me carry My cross by helping your brothers and sisters to make it, by
praying for them, supporting them, and doing whatever I show you and put within you to help them, lift them up and
encourage them. (I:361)

The moment you integrate Me and 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 and it will be on Mine, which are quite a lot more capable, and the matter is
resolved; I dont want you to worry about it anymore. You can keep it in prayer, but dont worry! Worry isnt 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 thats there to fill and 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. (I:375)

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. (I:384)

You can always pray for someone when theyre battling.

Sometimes youve got to fight for a brother or sister in order not to lose them, and not just indifferently let them go down
the drain, thinking, Well, its their own fault... Its not entirely their own fault if you completely neglect your duty to pray
for them! I have prayed for you, and a real shepherd spends time in prayer for his flock!
To coordinate everything and make sure it all runs smoothly takes time, effort and prayer, you cannot just ignore things
and leave them alone, hoping theyll turn out alright eventually. (I:390)

Always remember that one of the greatest actions you can take and things you can accomplish is action through prayer,
620
the underestimated weapon!
Keep in tune with Me through prayer, commanding Me what I should do, and youll get so much more accomplished than
you could ever do yourself, even with an army of people serving you. Remember! Its gotta be Me Who does it all. - The
part that you cant do! (I:397)

You've got the power of the universe at your disposal, you've just got to apply it, make it work for you and use it by
praying, digging out My promises and memorizing them and 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 and 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 and 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. (I:398)

Why do you still hunger and thirst, why do you still lack, when I could fill all your needs more than abundantly? Just come
and 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, and you spend time on doing this and 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 and take care of so
many things already before you can even start worrying about them, if you let Me! (I:436)

Just a little prayer could have prevented the thing you got upset about. But prayer goes against your proud, wanting-to-be-
self-sufficient nature of "I can do it myself." (I:444)

There is no spiritual life without prayer. Prayer is the A and 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 and 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 and 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 and
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
and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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!
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:485)

621
Be prayerful about your choice of words, in order not to offend the one you'll be talking to! (I:486)

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? (I:488)

"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 and
stay in close communication with Me to help you overcome that evil, to withstand it, to resist it, and 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, and is a system I have established in order for you to learn to fight and care for each other, to remain in
unity.
Show them unconditional love and 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! (I:501)

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 and just let it pass are over! I want you to take action, action through prayer and 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 and have come out alive, and you can see things from the top of the mountain in some ways, and to you they don't
look nearly as bad. But what does that help them unless you come down and descend from your high horse, and help
them up and pray for them?
Don't continue business as usual. Call on Me for help! I'm your emergency call and 24h hotline, always available and at
your service, always ready and willing to send out a rescue squad to help you! (I:512)

Make sure you stay in prayer, and thus make sure you're accomplishing what I want, and that I will get all the glory for it!
(I:551)

One of the reasons I'm letting you get into these difficult, twisted and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and astonishingly simple answer to your complex conglomeration of question marks and 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 and do yourself... (I:564)

If nothing else, you can love them through your prayers. (I:584)

Stir yourself up and 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, and 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
622
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.
Youve got to show by your attitude that you're real, not just another fake and 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, and 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. (I:586)

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 and 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 and 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, and never to stop praying it in and thanking Me for it. (I:589)

So much is in your hands. So much power! Your destiny lies in your own hands, and you can determine so many things
through prayer. I can do anything and there's nothing I won't do for you if you ask in faith!
I might just change your way of looking at things and help you to see through My eyes, but whichever way, you'll notice
the difference.
There's incredible power in your hands, and 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 and under My influence, being shaped by My hands...
You're growing and progressing together, and 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! (I:603)

Take Me with you! Don't let our communication go under in all the stress and the distractions! (I:608)

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 and
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 and by anything but
the real thing, I can protect them from that deception, just as I have protected you, and I can consecrate and reserve them
unto Me. You've got to claim them for Me! (I:611)

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 and 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. (II:41)

Consult Me about everything! Just shoot up a prayer and commit the thing into My hands and ask Me to give you a
warning sign if there's anything fishy about it! I will give you the right checks and confirmations if you check in with Me.
But you've just got to do it and make it a habit! (II:52)

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. (II:58)

If you lack, ask Me! (II:67)

You've got to stay in prayer all the time! "Pray without ceasing!" Isn't that the ability you want to acquire? The ability to
stay in tune with Me all the time?
Youre attacking the enemy by one of the most effective and yet most underestimated and underused weapons: prayer.
You're proving that you're believing that prayer works. More than getting upset about the issue, or more than reacting in
some way to show your disapproval, you show that you believe that prayer is the most effective thing you can do about it,
and that is a victory.
Prayer changes things! 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! (II:69)

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, and trust that that's truly the best thing you can do!
(II:114)

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 and through the wings of prayer. I can get you places, but you've got to "rub the bottle" or say the
623
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 and how you want
Me to take care of a situation! (II:139)

If you want My blessing, come and get it! (II:175)

Never underestimate the power of prayer to change and alter any natural flaws and characteristics you or anyone might
have!
Bring it to Me in prayer and ask Me to help you overcome your weaknesses! (II:179)

Moses, King David and 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 and 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 and the humility to just surrender and 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 and 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. (II:185)

Without prayer you're not going to get very far. It's the A and O, the beginning and 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. (II:188)

You need to avail yourself more of the power of prayer! Prayer and My Word are the factors that are going to see you
through, not the reliance on your own abilities. "Lest Israel say, 'Mine own arm hath saved me.'" (II:210)

If you've been praying and committing your day into My hands, how am I going to disappoint you by doing anything less
than the best? (II:213)

Praying is something you have to learn to do by My Spirit; in other words, to let go and let My Spirit do it through you. It's
another one of those things you just can't do in the flesh. (II:224)

Let Me carry your load when it becomes too hard to bear! Just roll it over onto My shoulders in prayer! (II:266)

Prayer isn't just the least, but the most you can do! (II:270)

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!
Pray without ceasing! (II:274)

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! (II:288)

Desperation is the ingredient that puts the magic into prayers that makes them get answered in spectacular ways! (II:292)

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? (II:294)

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. (II:311)

Prayer changes things, and when you come to the end of your wit and the end of your rope, that's where you've just got to
commit the whole thing into My hand. (II:313)

With increased intensity of stress, activity and pressure, you've got to increase the intensity with which you seek Me. (II:325)

If you need more love and 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!
You can even beat the greatest geniuses in the world by praying! Because by praying you'll be coming up with better solutions
than they ever did.
You can just give the problem to Me, just wrap it up into a bundle of prayer and give it to Me, and I'll take care of it! (II:336)
624
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. (II:348)

Use the weapons of praise and prayer to a greater extent, and see how much further they will carry you than the talents
and abilities I've given you in the flesh! (II:372)

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. (II:376)

There is a reason for everything, even if it's just to teach you to pray desperately. (II:385)

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! (II:386)

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. (II:394)

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. (II:450)

Pray for new visions, new ideas, new methods and 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 and 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!
(II:464)

Help Me help them make it by praying for them! (II:465)

Walk in prayer! Discover what a mighty, powerful and awesome weapon it really is! (II:492)

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. (II:495)

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 and fix it
themselves. (II:507)

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 and 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 and 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? (II:544)
625
I want you to put a greater emphasis on learning to acquire things you need by praying for them, by applying the spiritual
principle, "ask and ye shall receive."
If you invest more time and 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. (II:553)

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!
(II:565)

Making praise and prayer a habit is a key to success in life. (II:583)

Be patient and merciful with others' flaws and failings, just as you would wish for Me to be with yours! Pray for them! That's the
best and most effective thing you can do in order to change things for the better. (II:584)

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? (II:608)

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! (II:613)

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. (II:615)

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! (II:620)

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. (II:621)

Prayer is the most effective thing to bring about the truly needed changes.
The method ranking no.1 in effectiveness when it comes to bringing about change: prayer.
The theme is action that counts, action through prayer. Prayer shouldn't be based on selfish desires, but you should let My
Spirit guide you to pray for those things you really ought to pray for. (II:623)

Theres 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. Youre 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 cant look to the physical realm for solutions. Thats 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 and see what happens! (II:655)

When you pray, pray from the heart! (III:2)

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. (III:3)

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
626
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. (III:21)

Spiritual input is more effective than verbal input.

When you talk, you do use the Holy Ghost, too, but when you pray, She's much more involved yet!
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? (III:34)

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. (III:40)

"Pray before you say!" (III:43)

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? (III:44)

You can accomplish a lot for someone by caring enough to pray for them and commit their care into My hands! (III:58)

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!
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! (III:61)

Committing the day into My hands in prayer is like drawing a rough sketch and 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. (III:64)

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. (III:66)

How much have you begged Me to do the part that you can't? (III:93)

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. (III:122)

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.
(III:151)

Let Me guide you in prayer and by My Spirit in the directions I want you to choose each day! (III:198)

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. (III:209)

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. (III:246)

627
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. (III:253)

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! (III:279)

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... (III:289)

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... (III:318)

Only what you commit to Me in prayer is being protected by Me.

It's not too much to expect of you, to commit things unto Me in prayer, is it?
The first point of organization is something even you can do, and that's pray. You need to get more serious about things
and My involvement in them.
You can't take for granted that your ideas are the A and O without you praying about them and committing them into My
hands, making sure that they have My blessing on them! (III:359)

Prayer is a weapon more powerful than anything the devil can muster. "The devil flees when he sees the weakest saint
upon his knees." (III:371)

With the severity of troubles increasing, you had also better learn to turn up your prayer power accordingly.
In order to prepare you for the Tribulation, I sometimes have to allow little foretastes and shadows of tribulation in your
life, to get you into praying mode, desperate mode, no-longer-things-as-usual mode (III:387)

As with Elisha and his servant, who didnt see the spiritual forces surrounding them, and he had to pray, Open his eyes,
you can pray for others, that I will open their eyes.
Pray for them, that I will continue to open their eyes, and continue to teach them things which right now they may not see.
(III:399)

Isnt it the rough times that make you pray more? So, the times you pray more, in My eyes are the more glorious times,
even if to you they may seem anything else but glorious. (III:401)

Ask and it will be given you. (III:403)

You cant take it for granted that things are going to flow smoothly if youre not bathing them in My Spirit and prayer, and
just try to push them through in the flesh. (III:406)

You ought to bathe everything in prayer.

Even a good thing can be used by the enemy, if you dont dedicate it to Me in prayer first. (III:407)

Some people only take note of the physical totally oblivious to the spiritual. All that interests them is the here and now;
the flesh. Its as if the spirit doesnt even exist, as far as theyre concerned. The spirit doesnt even faze them. Theyre
totally flat Flatlanders.
All you can do is pray for Me to open up their eyes. But of course, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. You
cant really open someones eyes against their will So, youve got to pray that I take away the fear and the indifference
from their hearts take out the heart of stone from within them and replace it with a new one of flesh.
Before you can even pray for Me to open their eyes, You must pray for Me to touch their hearts to want to see, and to want
the truth; to be open for love and light and life
628
And that prayer must come from your heart, so the saying is fulfilled again, What comes from the heart, reaches the
heart.
Changing the world: one heart at a time How do you do that? You can only change another heart through something
that comes from your heart in the first place: words from the heart, prayers from the heart (III:410)

Cry out to Me and ask Me to change things! (III:414)

Get organized from the heart, not the head, and in the right spirit: My Spirit.
It means bathing issues and matters before you in prayer, availing yourself of prayer power. (III:415)

Others around you who fall prey to worldliness are a victim of that sickness, and you should pray for them. (III:447)

You dont like things and folks the way they are? Change them through prayer! I have given you the power, but if you dont
use it, then it wont be done.
So much is up to you and whether you will stir yourself up in prayer for someone or not.
Not praying for them to change them is as if you dont have the faith for Me to change them. (III:460)

If you find yourself at wits end in your situation and you cant seem to handle it and it doesnt make any sense to you, let it
be a sign to you just how futile it is to lean on your own understanding and reasoning, and how much youre going to have
to leave up to Me and commit the whole thing to Me in prayer.
The only hope youve got not to make a mess of it, is to stay really, really close to Me and follow Me each step of the way,
and pray desperately that I wont allow you to do something to make matters worse. (III:492)

Its never too late to start doing the right thing. - Start praying!
Stop refusing to get involved, and get at least concerned and give them prayer support, if nothing else.
If nothing else, you owe the world - and especially those parts of it that are immediately concerning you, surrounding you
and touching yours - your prayers.
If you can't do anything else, at least you can still make a difference with your prayers! (III:526)

The world is becoming such an incorrigible and hopeless mess, that it behooves you to pray with such an intensity as you
never have before.
People want things to be fine, they want to enjoy life, thats natural, and thats why you surround yourselves with pleasant
things, and you watch movies to divert you from the actual state of the world. But you would really be better off praying
more instead.
The diversions arent going to solve any problems nor make any definite improvements in the state of things, but your
prayers are! Prayer is the only thing that is going to enable you to partake of My nature and grace to be able to handle the
challenges youre facing the way I would have handled them. (III:536)

Prayer will have an influence on things to turn for the better, but often the prayers wont even be aimed at the area theyre
most needed, if a problem isnt being recognized.
Its good you recognize the potential hazards, so that you can pray for them never to happen or come to pass, or, if they
already started to happen, for them to stop. (III:538)

We have Our little suggestions box called prayer, and if theres anything youd like to change, just let Me know! (III:539)

Nothing will make you pray like an unpleasant, oppressive situation that you want out of. Sometimes things dont change
as much as they could because you surrender to lifes circumstances too easily; theyre still too comfortable for you to
really wholeheartedly desire, and thus pray for a change. The enemy tries to pacify you with substitutes for the real thing
that make you think, Come on, its not all that bad, really! No need to start praying for any drastic changes here
Thats another way he can lull people to sleep. Its a false sense of contentment, which actually amounts to settling for less
than you could have and get out of life, if you would just be desperate and willing enough to pray for Me to change things.
(III:568)

You can change a lot by praying. If you havent really prayed yet for a change to happen, you might want to give that
option a try.
Good things come and flow steadily into your life because of and through your prayers.
Laziness is never as inexcusable as when it hinders you to pray! (III:569)

The big regrets that people experience when they get Here, are not in the great and mighty things they might have
achieved and done through works they never accomplished, but all that they could have changed by the simple little task
of prayer.
The greatest loss that believers realize retrospectively upon reviewing their lives at their arrival in the Spirit World, is all
that they failed to change because they underestimated and neglected the power of prayer.
While others, who hadnt thought of themselves very highly during their earthly lives, and thought their lives hadnt
amounted to much of anything, are surprised at the extent to which their prayers did have an impact on things. They
actually changed the world without knowing to what extent.
Upholding the ones you love and I have placed in your care in prayer, and thus joining them in their personal fights and
629
everyday battles in the spirit, is in My eyes one of the best things you can do with your life.
It shows that youve really got faith in Me and My Spirit World, more than the physical, and you put more emphasis on it
than whatever you might be able to accomplish in the flesh and in your own little efforts. (III:576)

Prayer is higher ranking in importance and effectiveness than prophecy. (III:585)

Prayer changes things.

There comes a time when words will only go so far, and youre just going to have to apply action through prayer.
When for a change there is nothing else you can do but pray, youre giving Me a chance to show what can be
accomplished by letting Me do it and commending the thing into My hands through prayer.
What else can you do but pray, in many situations, anyway? Even better than finding out what happened or why things
happened, is preventing them from happening in the first place, through prayer. Thats the power prayer has, and why
prayer ranks above prophecy.
My Words are the stuff the worlds are made of, but your words directed to Me, which you call prayer, are just about equal
in importance, and just about as powerful as My very Words, because they are your reaction to My Words, and pretty much
as important to Me.
Thats how much your prayers mean to Me, and how much importance and power I give them. Its because your prayers
show your faith and trust in My Words, and that I can do what you cant. Your prayers are like an extension of My Words,
because they are My Words put into action by you, and thus nearly unequalled in power, except perhaps by the power of
praise, which is your positive declaration of faith in the fact that if you have asked for it, and I have promised to answer
your prayers, you can count it as good as done.
Its an unbeatable trio: My Promises, plus your prayers and praises voil, the combined power of the universe.
My Words are going to surpass heaven and earth, and your prayers are what you are going to make out of your faith in
those everlasting words, and your praise is the manifestation that you believe that I not only will do it, but by faith have
already done it and thus you count it done, and thereby even enhance the power that your prayers already had to begin
with.
Theres no stopping you when you avail yourself of My Promises, of prayer and praise. (III:604)

You mustnt make the mistake of underestimating the power Ive given you to change things, to influence things, even if by
nothing else but your prayers! (IV:7)

Potential blessings can be lost if you neglect to pray for the necessary anointing and wisdom. (IV:80)

A lot of things can be avoided by prayer. A lot of crises and problems can be prevented by soaking your day in prayer
before the enemy can make it unravel.
Prayer can go where flesh and blood cannot, and do things that are impossible to man.
The best thing you can do, instead of trying to be a crutch for others, is to pray. Make it possible for Me to be the support
they will fall and rely on by praying for that to happen, instead of being a distraction yourself that will draw their attention
to human support. (IV:101)

The best preparation for any calamity that might befall you is to stay close to Me, in tune with Me, and in prayer, since I for
once can protect you from the worst, and secondly strengthen and comfort you if it should hit you anyway. (IV:102)

Theres nothing you cant change through prayer. Dont like your circumstances? Pray for Me to changeem! (IV:148)

Prayer is often the first step.

Prayer is communication of the most efficient kind in existence that is available to man, and not only that, but its also a
device that will enhance and improve all your other communications with your fellow humans as well.
Prayer oils the machinery of communication in your life with the oil of My Spirit and thus helps it to operate better and to
flow more smoothly, and to flow in the direction of My will.
Prayer is the key to operate in the Spirit.
Prayer is the key that will help you do that which you find impossible to do in the flesh.
Prayer is what will bring in all the necessary resources, the supernatural aid
Praying people will always be greater saints with greater actions to show for it, greater miracles, etc., than the most
learned theologian, who has it all in his head in theory. The first step toward implementing and putting all that theory into
action is prayer: Action through prayer. (IV:170)

You can pray for danger factors and elements to be decimated. By prayer you can send folks into safer environment than it
would be otherwise, and you can also pray for their eyes to be opened regarding the pointlessness of this worlds pursuits
of enjoyment and pleasure, and that this is not really where true happiness is found.
Keep praying for them and supporting them in the spirit while theyre gone.
Uphold them in prayer and in the spirit, and find out what a difference it will make! (IV:180)

Commend yourself, your life, your works, everything into My hands! Im right here, waiting for you to tell Me what to do.
(IV:191)

630
Watch and pray (Mt.26:41) means to always stay alert and attuned to My Spirit. What better safeguard and defense against
the enemys vibes, attacks and temptations is there?
It goes along with Pray without ceasing (1.Thes.5:17)! (IV:236)

Words can only go so far. Prayers can go way beyond what your words or even your actions could ever accomplish,
because it gets the Spirit World to move into action on your behalf, and thats where by far the bulk of the action is
happening and originates in the first place. (IV:237)

Prayer is more important than prophecy. Its not something you can in any way neglect. So, start focusing more on prayer,
in order to tank up not only on My Words, but also on My Spirit, My support. (IV:266)

You can always pray.

The only way youre ever going to change anything for the better is not by being critical, but by praying.
Start converting your thoughts into prayers and then put feet to those prayers!
Faithful little prayers can go further than all the hype in the world. (IV:267)

The best you can do for people is to pray for them. (IV:286)

In My relationship with you its not like Im the One Who does it all, and all you need to do is wait passively for Me to bring
it to you: you have to do something, too, even if its just to pray and ask Me and praise Me for it. (IV:289)

The question must be posed before you receive an answer. The prayer is made before you receive the response A
vacuum must be there in order for something to come and fill it. (IV:362)

Using prayer power and relying on My help to do what you cant sounds like a good thing to do, and what Id advise you to.
(IV:380)

Trust in Me and pray as if everything depended on prayer, and believe that I will keep My Promises. (IV:386)

Prayer sets a real process and connection in motion, it gets things moving, activates processes and results in a whole
sequence of events. An actual exchange of power takes place, quite comparable to that of an electric current, and not any
less powerful
I want you to avail yourself of its power in the same way that you avail yourself of electricity and the commodities at your
disposal, and realize that My Power is just as real, and just as useful, practical and handy. (IV:480)

Pray in order to activate the Power on My behalf for you, to set things in motion, get the Machinery of Heaven going for
you! (IV:482)

Sometimes I allow you to experience that sadness because you did not pray, and some of the sad things others experience
might be happening because you failed to do that which you can do, and can always do, which is pray. (IV:483)

The qualities of "I can wait; I can fast; I can pray," are truly valuable ones. How much can you say of yourself that you
possess them? Can you wait? Can you fast? Can you pray? Or should I better phrase it like this: "Will you?"
If you really want things done by Me, just ask for it!
There is that one thing I've left up to you to do: Ask and ye shall receive! (IV:513)

When you dont even have the strength or incentive to get up, no umph to do anything, and all you can do is pray, well,
pray then, and see if I will not do for you what you cant do on your own! (IV:537)

It behooves you to turn to Me for everything. Ask Me Everything!

The smartest thing you can do is ask Me about everything, bathe an issue in prayer and make sure youve got My blessing
on it. If not, you will make mistakes (2011:7)

Maybe an extra measure of prayer, calling down an extra portion of My Spirit upon your life will do things for you that all
your little props couldnt. (2011:15)

Dont just read My words and study them, but digest them properly with prayer and meditation. Youve got to take some
Temple Time in order to make those words resonate in your soul and bring forth the fruit in you that both you and I
desire. (2011:17)

Just as with anything you do for Me, the outcome is determined by what youre willing to put into it, starting with as small
and seemingly insignificant a task as prayer. Just as prayer power reflects the intensity with which it originates in the
answer, so it is with any job you do for Me. (2011:28)

You used to cling to Me so desperately in prayer, just making sure I wouldnt let you go. But as the years went by and you
began to realize that Id care for you pretty much, no matter what, you slacked up and started to take your times with Me
and prayer less seriously.
631
Activate those big, powerful beams of My heavenly sunlight by your power of prayer first, until you make sure that the
proper and needed amounts of light are flooding your life! (2011:47)

The only gift and sacrifice I require in return in this day and age, is your time. No more lambs for the altar, no more blood
sacrifices, just an open, yielded heart, and a little bit of your time, thats all.
Of course, thats exactly what the Devil is trying to prevent, which is the reason why hes trying so frantically to keep
everyone so busy theyll think twice before theyll ever invest any of their scarce spare time in prayer, or any form of
communication with Me. (2011:50)

Things may not always look exactly grand, but you can do something about it!
And what you can do is the same old thing that Ive been telling you over and over, to get in touch with Me and pray!
If you dont like your circumstances, do something to change them: pray!
See, often your lack of faith in My better future is only due to a lack of faith in what My power could do for you right now,
and your failure to avail yourself of the power via prayer! (2011:52)

Praying is always the first and best step upward, away from the pit the Devil was trying to get you to look at and focus on.
(2011:55)

Pray down some of My strength and glory to help you make it through your day without every move becoming an agony.
Commit the things that tire you and are too much for you to handle to Me and let Me take care of them! (2011:57)

You know youre going to need more strength. So, heres a good chance for you: to practice praying down that strength
youre not going to get from anywhere else. (2011:63)

The situation youre in has forced you to pray more than you have in previous years; what more could I want? Youre
praying that means youre finally availing yourself of the most effective way to tap into My power again. (2011:110)

You cant really tell whats wrong with the world or any area or aspect of it until its evil has been rubbed in your face long
enough for you to become aware of it, to care about it, do something about it, such as taking it to Me in prayer and asking
Me about it. (2011:114)

All the while youre suffering and letting those things gnaw on you
You could and should carry the affair to Me in prayer and ask Me to take care of it; and you might have to do so
persistently, with stubborn cases of tough problems.
If you dont like things the way they are, ask Me to change them! Now its up to you to do it and give Me a chance for you to
find out whether Im capable of improving things for you or not if you pray for them. (2011:130)

If you want Me to do something, youre going to have to ask Me or tell Me to do it; thats how it works. I leave a lot up to
you and how strongly you want something to happen. (2011:134)

You can pray, Help me do whats right, as opposed to stubbornly pushing through whatever your own ideas of good
works or fruit may be. The key is to leave certain things in the Fathers hands and not think that you know best, but He
Who both made you and cares for you like no other. (2011:137)

There is nothing that could possibly be as important in your life other than your prayers and communication and
interaction with Me. (2011:144)

Seek unity of mind, heart and spirit to happen, envision it, desire it and then let your heart be drawn toward that goal. Do
the focusing, the praying, and put your heart in the right place and position for it to happen. (2012:4)

It behooves you to pray, and start taking your destiny and purpose, along with the responsibility that you carry toward those I
bring across your path, more seriously. (2012:29)

Your breakthroughs in the outside world are determined by your breakthroughs in the inside world first: they depend on
your prayers, your desperation, and the strength and intensity with which you seek Me and My aid. (2012:34)

Youve got to be and stay on guard, know what youre dealing with and confront it in the right spirit and with the right
weapons; not your own anger, but commit them into My hands in prayer and let Me deal with them My way. (2012:42)

Are you relying on prayer? Or do you think you can handle just about anything without My help? Well, can you blame life
for showing you to be mistaken?
Can you blame Me for sending a gentle reminder along your way of that it pays to pray?
Have you ever wondered why life is such a mess at times? Why it might be that things go awry, and what you might
possibly be able to do from preventing them to be that way? Could it be that life could be much less of a mess if youd let
Me handle more of it by committing it into My hands in prayer?
I want to protect you from greater harm and more serious mistakes by using this one to teach you to be not only more
careful, but also more prayerful.
632
So many things can go wrong that it behooves you to take serious Pauls advice to pray without ceasing (1 Thes.5:17).
While perhaps deemed impossible to put into practice, it certainly doesnt hurt keeping that advice in mind
As long as theres any chance for a bad mistake, accident, or anything else unwanted to happen, it pays to pray. (2012:49)

I want to protect you from greater harm and more serious mistakes by teaching you to be not only more careful, but also
more prayerful.
So many things can go wrong that it behooves you to take serious Pauls advice to pray without ceasing. While perhaps
deemed impossible to put into practice, it certainly doesnt hurt keeping that advice in mind
As long as theres any chance for a bad mistake, accident, or anything else unwanted to happen, it pays to pray. (2012:50)

If you need miracles, you mustnt neglect the force that will make them happen for you: prayer. (2012:77)

Prayer is an action that the flesh cant cash in much credit for, so it will urge you to do something else instead, even if that
turns out to be one grand waste of time. Prayer is an action of the Spirit, which the flesh regards as its enemy or opponent,
its competitor. (2012:122)

A little more counseling and checking in with Me before making decisions wouldnt do you any harm in general praying
things over Thats what you need most of all: Let Me do and take care of all the things you cant handle yourself. Thats
what Im here for. (2012:135)

I can protect you from devices, but only if you take the necessary precautions and do the parts that you can, like bathe
yourself in prayer. (2012:147)

How many folks do you know that genuinely believe that praying is actually the best thing they can do? - And how about
you? Ready to give it a try? (2012:156)

Hope for the best, be ready for whatever comes, and be prepared for the worst. - And, of course, pray all the while, for Me
to spare you from the unexpected blows, or at least soften them, protect you, and help you avoid them in the future by
making sure youve learned the lessons life is trying to teach you. (2012:166)

You need to pray for a spiritual outlet for what you have to give in the spirit.
Youre going to have to invest a lot more effort in your plans, in the form of prayer, especially. Good things are not just
going to come about by themselves. Remember? Nothing comes from nothing.
You dont need to worry, but you need to pray! I know, in some ways it comes easier and more natural to you like anyone
to worry and fret, when more time and energy dedicated to prayer would totally reduce the need for most worries and
fears.
Seek Me in the Spirit! Not just My input, but My Power, My going to work on your behalf, My opening doors and preparing
pathways for you, My movement! (2012:174)

If youre remembering to include Me in your plans and continue to pray for My blessings, provision and guidance, I will
bless, guide and provide. (2012:183)

While your earthly mind might still be prone to give priority to and place a higher value on the tangible and countable
treasures of this world, your calling out to Me and imploring Me for My help and tapping Me for My resources is in itself
much more valuable. (2013:9)

Soak and bathe your days more in prayer, and seek to stay in prayer mode as much as possible.
Dont let your mind become too occupied with other things to keep Me on it!
Only as a praying and prayerful parent can you ever become the sort of parent youd wish to be. Your children need more
than the person you are in the flesh. They need someone guided by and filled with My Spirit. Otherwise things are just
bound to unravel somehow sooner or later. Theyll get out of control unless you make sure that Im in control of them by
putting Me in charge of them through prayer.
Sometimes I might let you get away with praying less than you should, but get back to your foremost duty, the one thing
that will ensure your protection and prosperity in this world.
Praying more about your daily plans, or at least bathing them in prayer, as in, meditating about them, or asking Me to bless
them, will also help to keep your days from becoming too chaotic. (2013:20)

Prayer is happening far from the prescribed frequency of without ceasing. (2013:23)

If you lack energy to cope with the hardships of the day, pray and ask Me for more strength! If there would be no help
available, I might have greater understanding for your griping, but if there is, then whose fault is it, if you simply fail to
avail yourself of it?
Maybe Im allowing those things to happen to cause you to pray more, as important Ive stressed that prayer is in your life.
Prayer and praise draw good things and people into your life, whereas murmuring and a negative attitude drive them away
and attract negative repercussions instead. (2013:28)

How foolish to become upset over circumstances, when you could change them with a thought turned into prayer?
633
My mind, strength and power, My Spirit, are available to you, and yet you neglect them, continuing to forget to pray. (2013:31)

The area in which you can effectively and easily at the same time invest greater effort, is your prayer life. A lot of things
can start happening if you take it from there. Find out how much more good stuff can happen in your life if you just invest
a little more effort in prayer! (2013:41)

Ill do all the action you genuinely ask Me for, and the only action you might have failed completing is that of praying for
Me to make it happen Now, thats not too much action to ask for, is it?
It still remains the most underestimated and belittled action in the world Nobody wants to believe that it could be so
easy; not even those whove experienced countless times that it is.
Of course, its true that unselfish prayers are prone to work better than make me rich!
Is that thing youre praying for genuinely going to be good for you, for your spiritual growth and progress? Or is it just
something thats going to turn out to be poison for your soul? (2013:73)

Youve got to keep that receiving muscle in action via prayer, and whatever other means youve got to stay in touch with
Me and keep receiving from Me whatever youve got the faith for.
Pray and youll get results! You should try it more!
Try Me out and see what I can do for you, instead of relying so much on your own wit, strength and resources
As long as you pray, you can expect things to happen. Its your part of the deal. Without it, you shouldnt be too shocked if
they wont (2013:89)

Im the only One Who can give you what it takes, and all you have to do is ask Me for it! I can give you the necessary faith
to make it, if you just want it badly enough to ask Me for it! (2013:93)

Keep your heart attuned to Me with positive and praiseful thoughts and prayers, and life will pour itself out to you in all its
fullness. (2013:107)

It all depends on how much you commit into My hands and put Me in charge of, pray over and make it My business and
affair, too, instead of just your own. (2013:115)

Ive had to get you back into the gear of calling for Me with your whole heart (2014:6)

I could have given you larger protection if you had asked Me for it and depended on Me for it with a more prayerful attitude.
When you try to make it without prayer, without My help, and you lean on physical substances to make you feel better, then
its no wonder youll get around to experiencing some weakening impacts and damaging results. (2014:7)

Sometimes it might help to get into prayer a bit more when you need a miracle of supply; a bit more than asking for or
expecting general guidance or advice Ask and you will receive is an old promise about that
Sometimes you need to get into prayer a lot more.
Prayer can be more important. Hearing from Me might not be as important as asking Me for help, protection, wisdom, etc.
Prayer would have been more important to protect you, and the fact that you didnt pray enough shows that prayer is the
more powerful way to keep you out of trouble.
See now that keeping in prayer would have been a lot more important?
Your spirit needs to improve; and it does so more through praying and praising than getting your own mental holes filled
up. (2014:9)

The trials and tests youre going through are there to keep you more desperate, more in tune with Me, more in prayer for
My help. (2014:15)

Prayers might be more helpful than just communication and exchanging information.
Prayer power may be more useful in cases than just using spiritual information and communication (2014:21)

Remember to pray more, since you might get more spiritual victories accomplished than just seeking to communicate with
Me what youre thinking While I dont mind communication with My believers, remember that I told you, the best I prefer
is prayer. Its you asking Me for help, for changes, and your needs met Its not just the need of sharing your thoughts
with Me or hand them to Me, but giving Me your need for My help (2014:28)

Some things and situations just require some miracles. And to pray for them to happen surely helps. (2014:31)

Maybe whats happening to you is reminding you of availing yourself of My strength, since you can't operate and do all
things on your own anymore it's a reminder to rely on Me. You should be able to rely on Me, not trust in yourself or in
good luck as much as you did Since you've also got to ask Me for My help, you can't take it for granted, but make that
kind of prayer part of your daily life. (2014:32)

Keep praying! Keep telling Me what you want and need, and how much you need and want from Me!

634
It may be important for you to hear My voice and find out My will for you, but you should know by now that praying and
praising Me are some of those main, stationary things you should always cling to and never neglect as you did the time of
the accident.
Praying is more important than asking Me for My input!
Sometimes life turning into a nightmare is what makes people return to desperate prayers, and thus the way and path for
life to turn into something better again.
Imagine why I may have allowed this dilemma to occur in your life: to bring about greater desperation serious
determination and prayerful decisions in your life (2014:39)

How serious and important prayer is and can be! (2014:41)

Maybe the big lesson to stay more prayerful is going to fulfill its great part and leave you without troubles to have to worry
about (2014:44)

It does take some prayer to find Gods will in and for situations with certain physical weaknesses to overcome. (2014:45)

Just pray for My strength to help you make it anywhere (2014:46)

Starting to feel more attached to prayer is good.

Asking Me and the Father for things with prayer power has a high level of importance.
Prayer includes the heart trying to make sure that things will happen with Godly power and support.
Prayer is asking Me and the Spirit World to do things for you that will help you, so, asking Me for actual help sounds
useful, doesnt it?
Keep asking Me and the Father for the help and support you need. (2014:50)

Remember to pray and ask Me for My power! Just listening to My thoughts and ideas and words isnt all that will empower
you! Ask Me for things you need and want!
I also need your prayers, and you need to use them in order to strengthen our relationship and receive not just words from
Me, but also deeds and actions that are going to strengthen you in other ways, protect you, and fight for you let the spirit
world do more things for you than listening to words and informations will do.
Keep praying for My strength to continue strengthening you! For My wisdom to keep leading and guiding you! For the
miracles I do to keep supplying the things youll need
You need to keep praying for Me to keep or make you healthy! Pray for the state of your children and wife friends and
supporters
Remember the prayer! Let your heart and more of you work to make your faith grow in more directions.
Having to pray and put or keep your trust in Me makes you a little more alive at an older age keeps your mind working,
and especially your faith. (2014:51)

Just make sure youll be more in prayer wherever you go and whatever you do
If you stay in touch with Me and keep relying on Me, youll be safe and youll be alright.
This world as pretty much run by the enemy isnt too safe just relying on yourself, but you should cling a bit more to
My power and the Fathers to protect and keep you.
You should trust in and rely on Me more, and your heavenly help, and keep claiming and asking for and relying on it
Dont just lean on yourself, or even on thinking youre doing enough to keep you sheltered and safe and protected
As big dangers as youve experienced happening, it should be clear to you that not every safety can be taken for granted.
And you should be a bit more into praying for safety, now that you know what grave dangers might happen.
The Enemy can do a lot of stuff if youre not making sure to ask the angels of Heaven for protection
Learning how to get ahold of Me is pretty much the most valuable you possibly can learn. Of course, it doesnt just
consider My words, but also your prayers begging for and expecting My answers in action, miracles Ill do for you and
youll need. Of course, the prophecies can sometimes help you telling you what it is you might need
But remember to use the prayers, especially when youve heard enough answers, but might need some more action
around you to change things! Ask Me for the action to change things when somethings still missing to make you feel
better! (2014:57)

Sometimes you need to pray and ask for Me and Gods and Heavens help to make you better. (2014:59)

How desperately you ought to be praying for protection and things to work out peacefully.
You desperately need My help to make it through this world and thus keep in prayer (2014:61)

See, its good what you ask for; and anything you ask Me for, you have quite some chances to get those prayers answered
and requested; and the opener you are to Me and receiving input from Me, the more time you invest in our conversation,
the more it can also be that I and My forces can inspire you to receive the right kind of theme you should add as a
request (2014:63)

Availing yourself of the power of desperate prayer would certainly help. Just test Me and check Me out to what extent I
could help you, by asking Me for those things properly! Ask Me and you shall receive. If you dont ask all that much, dont

635
be too surprised that what you didnt ask for, you didnt get or receive! Ask and ye shall receive. Ask not and ye shall
realize that you probably should have. (2014:76)

Life isnt that easy But thats what should teach you to ask Me to help you teach you to pray a bit more, and
sometimes a whole lot more! (2014:78)

If youre under a hard spiritual attack and notice it, its a time to pray. (2014:84)

The best thing to do is to pray for good results youll end up seeing. (2014:88)

Being in a desperate situation should toss you into more desperate prayer, too when you cant solve the problems all by
yourself (2014:93)

You could and should pray for others who are not doing so hot not doing so well
Get a bit more of a feeling about the sort of things that should make you pray for them.
Youre learning how important it is to keep folks in your prayers just to remember youre not the only one who needs and
deserves prayer (and some help), and you shouldnt be tempted to think so. You should care for others, just as theyve
cared for you. (2014:98)

Human weakness is good because it makes you depend on and ask for the strength of God He will give you then, once you
ask Him for it! Dont depend on the strength you usually had, or just wait for strength to reappear by itself, but pray and
ask for it when you need it! And give thanks and praise when you got it! (2014:110)

Its always a good and wise decision to turn to Me and come to Me with your thoughts and prayers (2014:136)

Sometimes you just need to pray for the victory! It might not always come just by itself. (2014:146)

Sometimes the things happening to you make you pray more. And thats not a negative thing in total
So, heres another thing you could put more of your energy into: prayer.
Try to keep ahold of Me more through prayer Loving Me more through your prayers! (2014:155)

Prayer does the trick! More than just waiting for Me to answer your questions or give you some guidance and advice with
words! The prayer power will turn Spirit helpers and angels to act and use Gods Power for you, and thus will be more
helpful than receiving prophecy alone.
Even not too long after some message from Me you can fall under the enemys attacks. Its because the knowledge, info or
wisdom you get through that wont protect you as much from his attacks as prayer power. So, its much more important for
you to use your prayer power than just the gift of prophecy or receiving some words from Me, counsel or information.
These can mainly strengthen your brain, mind and own wisdom a bit, but prayer can do more for you and raise your
spiritual strength, which might be a lot more needed in such a spiritual war as whats going on between My spiritual
followers and fighters, and the enemys powers over the world.
Prayers have a positive effect.
Prayer works and solves problems! So, use it more! Do it more, so that I and We can do more for you. So much depends
on prayer, which is the proof that you believe and have faith in Us and Our Power to help, support, heal and hold you
upright! Prayer is really something you shouldnt neglect but hold on to and trust in! In other words, something you ought
to use more!
Praying is more important than just asking Me questions or for some explanation of things. Sometimes its better to ask
Me for solutions than information.
Your connection with Me via prayer is more important!
After all, through prayer youre not just getting information, but also supernatural results! So, better keep praying, and
remember that thats even more important than hearing from Me!
Asking Me for things is more important than the results of asking Me about things! Its good to know the answers to
questions you have, but not quite as important as asking Me for things, instead of just about them. So, instead of asking
Me solely for information, its better and wiser to ask Me and My whole set of helpers for some action!
As the devils enemy there can be quite a few things that might happen to you which you wouldnt want to. And thats a
good reason to keep praying! Pray for protection and all the help you might need in whatever situation you are. As the
devils biggest enemies, in a world thats ruled by him for now, its better never to cease praying for protection!
Trusting in Me is shown by your constant action in asking Me for help and protection. (2014:156)

Dont forget to pray! The times are not the same as they used to be. Theyre definitely times You desperately need My help
to make it against the evil forces at work! And thats definitely not the time to neglect the power of prayer! Dont neglect
the times you should spend in prayer! Youre finding out how rough and awful they can be! You need My help desperately
to make it! - More desperately than ever.
Its the way to keep My power working for you! You need to ask Me for it. Thats just how it works. If you dont do it, things
will keep happening that will cause you to remember. Ask Me for the help you need! All the wrongs in the world are
happening because prayers are lacking that are needed to ask Me and the entire Spirit World to help and avoid the bad
things and keep them from happening!
Ask Me for the help you need! Ask Me for the angels to help you! Ask Me for My blessings and My protection! Dont let the
636
enemy make a mess in your life and cause lots of trouble! Keep doing whats the most important! Keep praying! Keep
asking Me for help and protection! Keep doing what you need most: pray! (2014:157)

If you just get into praying desperately, it helps better. Theres a reason why you have to learn to use prayer power more.
Its because times arent going to stay all as rosy and easy as they have been for you in the past. Things change, and thus,
you better do, too! Learn to depend on Me more, ask Me for My help more, and youll make it better, youll see!
Its a rough time, but it could be even rougher, and soon it might be, so get used to it. Use the prayer power more!
More important than your physical status and state is your spiritual one, and it depends a lot on your prayer life, and how
you cultivate it and lead it! Prayer is more important than just about anything else, so youd better get back into it on a
steady basis. Remember pray without ceasing (1.Thes.5:17)! In other words, dont stop praying! Its whatll keep you alive
and in any sort of victory the way to get rid of defeat thats threatening you when you dont.
Its a rough time. But what can help you get through it and make it is the time and effort you invest in prayer!
Remember the martyrs! They may not have made it to keep their lives, but even the way they died was a lot less painful,
and even blissful because of their prayers invested beforehand. So, theres a way through prayer to make even the ugliest
parts of life less painful and to be able to pass with less suffering. Thats why asking Me for help not just reasonable or
logical answers to the questions on your mind is the best and most effective thing you can do, and youve got to get
back into it some more. Pray, pray, pray! Thats the best you can do! Trust Me for it!
The prayers of brethren have basically helped to keep you alive. But to make that part of your life improve and run better,
you need to get back into applying that prayer power again yourself! So, think about it and remember this! (2014:160)

Remember the prayers! Theyre kind of a first step you ought to take, even before starting to hear from Me! Its best to
make sure first youre on the right channel, in the right Spirit. And via prayer is the safest way to make sure of that. Prayer
is the more important and safest way to keep you on the right track with Me. Make sure you cleanse our channel and
connection with each other through that! Keep it clean and clear through prayer!
A weakened spiritual state, by asking Me for My strength and protection, ought to improve and get strengthened.
Hang on to Me and cling to Me and My Power! And staying in prayer and keeping your channel and connection with Me
safe and clean through prayer is the best way! (2014:161)

Sometimes you just need to grab ahold of Me somehow and get ahold of My Spirit and My blessings and protection via
prayer.
Getting stronger in prayer is worth something, as youll see and find out. When you pray, things will change and rotten
things will fly away and Ill trade them for blessed ones to make your day.
Some things are going to get better because I got you back into praying more for things to improve and change.
Asking Me for help really turns out to be worth it, doesnt it? And once you get so convinced of that issue, itll be easier to
offer that help to others; either teach them to pray, or pray for them and tell them you did, latest when the good changes
have happened. (2014:162)

When you dont feel like you can make it, call unto Me, and Ill help you make it! Thats why tough circumstances arise: for
you to learn to let Me help you and depend on My help a bit more, as itll be the need for in the future. (2014:169)

Keep praying! Pray for Me to help you, lead and guide you, so that you can follow My directions and the path I lead and
guide you! And things you cant take care of yourself, I can help you with. Just rely on Me and lean on My power thats
available to be a bigger help to you than just trusting in your own energies. (2014:177)

You need Heavens help in order to pour some heavenly vibes around you and sow some good stuff; but thats why I also
told you not to neglect the power of prayer. Its one of the most important things to do for believers: to ask Us for help!
(2014:198)

Keep in mind that you need prayers for protection in order to make it alright through this enemy territory. (2015:3)

Try to stay as tuned to Me and My Spirit as much as you possibly can, for you need Me a bit more than ever before, and
that condition will continue to grow as time goes on.
Hard times and tough times will draw you closer toward Me. (2015:12)

Praise and prayer should come before prophecy! Prayer and praise should be the first steps you should take before you
expect to hear from Me and receive My new and current direction and input! Its better than starting out our conversation
with whining; and you probably realize that youre beginning to feel a lot better after praising Me and praying first (2015:22)

Remember that prayer is more important! You keep having the tendency to neglect it, when prayer should come first.
Prayers most important and shouldnt be neglected! Ask Me to protect you against attacks. (2015:23)

Become more serious in prayer, which is basically what I try to get you to be to become prepared for the Endtime, and
since life on earth isnt just going to be a non-stop fun time, to get used to whats coming up ahead! (2015:26)

Maybe youll understand from now on better why it says in My Word that you should pray non-stop and all the time! You
can see the reason now that youre experiencing how permanent the enemys efforts can be to drag you down.
Hang on to Me and dont let him drag you down! You may have made it more easily without that, but as you can tell, those
637
good old days are getting over, and its important for you to get into that effort to stay tuned in to Me all the time! Dont
give him a chance to drag or knock you down.
Rely on Me and My protection, as its becoming more important for you now than ever before! Stay tuned in to Me and thus
resist his efforts to drag you down.
Stay in touch and keep asking Me for My help! Youre becoming more and more dependent on it as time goes on.
Remember pray without ceasing (1Thes.5:17)!
The more youll pray, the more youll make your day and stay on My way! Lean on Me! Stay connected! Dont let the enemy
drag you down! Remember that Im stronger and more powerful than him, so hang on to Me and My help to win the victory
against him! Amen? (2015:32)

If you cant make it without My help, its time to ask and beg Me for My help so you can make it!
Hold on to Me and cling to Me, and stay in touch with Me in order to receive My help! (2015:36)

The more you ask for My help, the more youll get it. (2015:37)

Remain in prayer!
It pays to stay on guard, in prayer, and ensure Heavens protection. (2015:40)

If you dont know how to make it, ask Me for help. Maybe thats why you dont: so that youll ask Me for help more and pray
for it more, because its more obvious that you need Me and My help. So, apply for My help, and youll get it! (2015:41)

Pray without ceasing is a good and important motto to keep in mind.

I can keep you from all the negative sensations the devil is plaguing you with; and thats enough of a reason, isnt it?
Remember holding on to Me! If youre constantly dependent on Me, it just shows you need Me for living, and you ought to
stay in touch! Make Pray without ceasing a verse youre going by! If you need Me that much, dont neglect your
connection and communication with Me! Learn why it means and says to pray without ceasing, now that youre realizing
how important it is to keep and stay in touch with Me! (2015:43)

Theres not much you can do in order to get the victory over evil in the world without My help. So, you should ask for it and
apply for it as much and often as possible! And dont try to make it without it! You pretty much need My help against evil
and other things, like death, disease and other troubles, desperately. All You need to do basically, is ask Me for it. (2015:46)

Id love to help you more, but it takes your asking Me for My help to get there! (2015:48)

When life gets rough, its a good occasion to get into serious connection with Me to either ask for help or some revelation
as to whats going on. It might also mean that you should get into some desperate prayer to beg Me for My help and
salvation out of a serious mess situation. So, one way or the other, it means you should cling to Me, come closer to Me and
seek Me more than before take Me more seriously. (2015:50)

Sometimes you just have to make it through the hard times in life. I know, its not easy, but just got to see it through!
Remember, thats also whats supposed to make you cling tighter to Me, get you to ask more for My help and all It should
call you back into the gear of prayer.
Life may be hard right now, but that means youll realize more that you need the help from Above, will ask and apply for it
more, and that, in the end, will make you stronger, and able to resist more the devils counter acts and attacks!
Just remember that sometimes asking Us Up Here for help might just be whats needed
If you dont ask for it, you just might not be availing yourself of the power Weve given you to avail yourself of Our help.
So, the more youll get back into that habit of doing that, the better off youll be! (2015:51)

You pretty much need your help from Us for everything, and that means you should apply and ask and just about beg for it
to make sure youll get it! Ask for Our help using your faith! (2015:55)

Thats the groove in which youre more likely to make it through times to come: clinging to Me and all the heavenly help
you can get, through prayer, fueled with some of that desperation the hellish state of the world ought to be getting you into
if youre not one of the enemys, but My follower.
Asking for My supernatural help is the only way youll make it through whats coming up ahead.
Cling to Me, and apply for My help in a regular and constant manner, and dont just have confidence in things and times
ahead of you working out somehow even without it. Those days are over.
Applying for My help on a regular basis doesnt just sound like the best manner, but the only way youll manage to make it.
(2015:60)

Its important you make your efforts to get ahold of Me, My help and input, in order for you to make it through the tougher
times.
There are bad times on the schedule for this world, as you know, since its mainly being run by our enemy. But that doesnt
mean Im not on your side anymore, or wont help you anymore as long as you just keep applying and asking for My
help! (2015:61)

Ask Me for My help, and dont keep trying to make it without it! Ask Me for My aid and strength to help you! (2015:62)
638
Trust and rely on something better coming!
And prepare for making it There through prayer overcoming all the negative and harmful parts of your current life and
the world around you run by you-know-who! (2015:65)

Remember that with Me on your side, and your not neglecting that connection, theres no way youll wind up losing, but
will turn out to be the winner of that match in the end thanks to Me, My help, and your staying plugged in to it, tuned in,
and asking for and availing yourself of it!
Keep asking Me for help to overcome the enemy and thus become the winner of the battles of his beastly attacks! (2015:66)

All in all, you dont quite know yet what life is holding up for you to handle; so it means youre going to have to stay
desperately in touch with Me, and rely on My help in order to make it.
Im sorry for you that life is treating you so roughly right now, but Im also hoping that this will cause you to really learn to
let all things in your life depend on Me and My aid, help and support. To let your dependence on Me become a bit more
obvious to you is part of what should be happening. That means that if things get too rough, you probably didnt quite do
that, in which case you might still have to learn it, or get back into that groove!
In other words, what really might be needed is for you to pray more! Stay in touch with Me constantly, as the Bible says
(without ceasing), and put your energy into applying for My help! After all, this will be the only way youll make it through
the hard times to come, and the sooner you start really getting into the gear of depending on Me and all your help available
to you from above, the better. (2015:68)

I can use the world to do things for you in part but its Me you should be asking for that help!
Let folks know that theres something better than this world waiting for those who just give Me a chance to enter their lives
and receive Me through that simple prayer of opening their heart for Me and asking Me to come in and thus free them from
the curse of sin! (2015:73)

Desperation may lead you towards Me and cause you to pray for My help and power, but once youve got it, youll see, it
disappears! (2015:79)

Theyre rough times for you right now. And if you cant find a way out of them, look unto Me, and in My direction, asking
Me for and relying and depending on My help! (2015:82)

Applying for your help from above is a good thing to get into, and something Were all definitely into and welcoming it.
(2015:91)

Sometimes I need to remind you to have desperate prayers, for the times up ahead are pretty ugly. So, its a reason to have
desperate prayer, and not just seek the usual happy and cheerful times all around.
I know, thats pretty sad, but youve been warned of rough times coming up ahead decades ago. And unfortunately, soon
theyre coming. So, is that a reason to get desperate, or not? Its definitely a reason to stay in prayer.
You can tell that life isnt easy and requires some desperate prayer, some interaction of Mine and the saints, in order for
you to make it through time and things up ahead. So, try harder to get ahold of Me and of My help! You might desperately
need it, not too far ahead in the future! (2015:94)

Ask Me for help to change, do what you can to do it, and when you need help, ask Me for it!
Ask Me to and let Me change you, as youre beginning to realize it ought to happen and be seen fit to be done!
Keep clinging to and asking for My help and that of the angels and helpers in Heaven!
Turn your spiritual views up to Us Up Here, who will help you, if you ask us for help, and thus, not neglect the probably
most important task of humans for right now, which is prayer.
Depend a bit more on Our help and ask Us for it! Pray for it!
Don't try to make it on your own, but ask for that help!
You need Us and that heavenly help; so get into the groove of asking for it!
Desperately keep asking Us for help and protection!
Call out for Our help, if for sure you want to make it! You need it, are dependent on it, and that's why it's so important you
pray and ask for it!
Every one of My mentions of dependence on Our help means that you should stay in prayer, and how dependent you are
on staying in contact with your heavenly helpers in order to make it through the times to come!
It's a rough time on earth, with much rougher ones coming, so you should get used to asking for help and protection, and
anything else you might need in order for you to make it! - Which is also why it happens that some things don't work as
they should: Reminders that you should pretty much always ask for heavenly help and protection to make it!
Things that remind you that you cant are reminders from and of Us, Who will help you when there's no other way to make
it. And while those times are coming soon for all believers, the sooner you get used to asking for help, the better! (2015:98)

Can you make it? If not, but you want to, its a time to ask for My help and any help from above! When you realize you cant
make it by yourself or in your own strength, well, its time to ask for help from Up Here! (2015:104)

If you cant manage to get prepared for whats up ahead by yourself, its a good time to rely on Me and ask Me to help you
to.
639
It might not all be that easy for you not as easy as it used to; and well, thats a sign that you should start clinging to
Me, get used to asking Me for help regularly and to cheer you up, so that you can overcome any trials and attacks of the
enemy you might have to deal with. Depend on Me more, and ask Me to help you to make it apply for My help! (2015:107)

If things dont seem to work out by themselves, well, it might be a reminder to ask Us in Heaven for help. After all, if you
believe in Us in Heaven, why would you not rely on Our help?
The time is coming when things wont be that easy anymore, and youre going to have to rely more on Our help So get
it, by asking for it!
Youve got all that help from Up Here at your disposal, if you just get into the gear of asking for it! Remember that as one of
the main reasons to Pray without ceasing! (1.Thes.5:17)
Dont stop asking for help to make it! Especially as times on earth start becoming tougher and tougher! Theres definitely a
reason for that reminder to pray and ask for help from Above pretty much constantly. (2015:108)

To have to make it through such a devilish abode there forces you to depend on My help and causes you to apply for it,
ask for it.
If you dont know whats going on, or how to go on, just ask Me to help you and to show you! Youve just got to get used to
asking Me more for help! (2015:109)

Having found out some things about how the devils people get rid of people from the other side, should also help you to
realize just how important it is to stay in constant prayer for My protection.
Theres a desperate need growing for you to remain in contact with Me, asking Me and the Father for help and protection.
(2015:110)

If those around you arent much help, remember to ask and apply for Mine, the help from Above!
Asking for and then taking the advantage of the help from Above is what will encourage others most to join you in your
faith! (2015:111)

Ask Me to help you to make it through and manage your difficulties, and any challenges you encounter! (2015:117)

If you dont know how to make it through your day, just ask Me for help!
You just need Me more than ever; and dont just take it as a bad time, but one that teaches you to understand what it meant
to pray without ceasing (1 Thes.5:17)!
Sorry about the bad times, but youre just having to learn to cope with it!
It may just be a reminder to get into the groove of pretty much constant prayer! Stay in tune with Me! (2015:118)

If you dont know how to handle things, just ask Me for help! Thats probably one of the main reasons why these things
happen: to remind you to ask Us for help and depend on your help from Above, not thinking you could make it on your
own, because thats what the times coming towards this world youre in are going to be like! Get used to asking for help
from Above!
Dont try to get used to your former gear of handling things according to your own abilities, because the times are
changing and have changed, and you just might not make it without applying for help from Up Here! (2015:123)

Just stay more in prayer! Times to come warrant that, and Id say you definitely need it, too, just in order to change things
from the way they are.
You know that change is a big, important criterion; and it should lead you along with what Im telling you about the
importance of prayer, that thats one of the major keys to bring about those changes you need: through prayer!
So, commit those circumstances into My hands and ask Me for those changes they and you need! Need things to change?
Pray for it! If things arent the way theyre supposed to be, well, thats definitely high time to pray for them, in order for the
forces of Heaven to work for you to get them back in the shape they ought to be!
Which other way are you ever going to have faith in the power from Above, than working out those changes in your
conditions that you so desperately need? And if that doesnt work out, how will you ever manage to convince others?
So, keep praying for the changes you need! Amen? Pray for Me and the host of Heaven to bring about the changes that
you need, and put in the positive features you need within those regions that are momentarily still occupied by negative
traits! Get the enemy out by getting the host of Heaven in through prayer!
A lot depends on you, your action, and what you do, and the most important thing to do right now is to ask Me and all of
Heaven Above for help through fairly desperate prayer!
Prayer and asking Me for help shows that you depend on Me and are counting on Me and the help and power from Above,
not what that world you live in might be offering!
Rely on Me and My help and support, and keep asking for it! (2015:125)

Its not an easy life for you, but thats why youve got to get into the rhythm of asking for My help, and all the help from
Above you can get! (2015:130)

One key to a happier, more fulfilled and peaceful life is to obey the counsel you receive from Me, like on praying
I know, its rough in the state youre in, but just pray for Our help in order to make it!
Theres plenty of help to receive from Up Here.
Just remember the prayers for needed help from Up Here!
640
The good and easy days are over. And to make it through those to come, youll need My help and support on a more
steady base than ever! So, apply and ask for them!
Life may not be so rosy right now, but it will be even less in the future! So, prepare for it by learning to lean more on Me!
Amen? And to do that you need to ask and pray for it! (2015:136)

Get used to trying to hear from Me without a laptop or computer! At the same time, let it strengthen your means of
communication with Me via prayer, which Ive told you before, is actually more important for our relation than just your
hearing from Me this way!
Theres more power in prayer to change things on your behalf. While prophecy may change your mental settings, prayer
can do a lot more, and influence a lot more other people and circumstances. So, dont worry too much if you cant get a lot
more information or input from Me. When that happens, focus more on what I can do in order to help you, strengthen and
enable you to see things through! (2015:143)

If you need My help, just apply for it and ask Me for it! (2015:144)

Desperation and the according prayer isnt a bad thing to get into these days, with the world coming closer to the stage
where itll be completely run by our enemy! So, if you feel like youre in extremely hard times during which you cant make
it on your own, dont view it too negatively.
Therell be a time when believers wont be able to make it without help from Above, so, its time to get used to it, applying
for that need, and not lean so much on ones own capacities as in the past.
Unless youre quite sure that what youre about to say is the right thing at the right time and inspired by Me to say at the
time, just keep thinking and praying about it a bit more, instead of uttering whatever pops into your mind! (2015:146)

You have to pray more, stay closer to Me and ask for more help because you cant make it without Me! (2015:149)

Keep praying against any influences of the enemy and for Our protection from his assaults and attacks! (2015:155)

Asking Me for help is one of the most important things to make it through days to come! (2015:159)

In order to make it through the days to come, you have to get into a mode of praying for help from Up Here more! Just get
used to the fact that the times of making it on your own are over, and youll desperately need the help from Above! So,
pray for it, and stay in prayer!
You already experienced what poor amounts of safety can be caused by lack of prayer, or even prayer thats not strong
enough and geared to the rough circumstances you may find yourself in!
The times when things worked out easily are pretty much over, and you can probably tell that the enemy allowed those
previous easier times to get people out of the prayer mode as much as possible, and thus making themselves greater
victims to his subtle attacks. (2015:161)

Prayer is more important, and especially in times to come, Pray without ceasing will demonstrate its full meaning and
importance! (2015:162)

Stay as prayerful as you can, when things are not seeming so bright for you. Remember that the time of its greatest
darkness is approaching the Earth, and its better to get prepared for it! It means: learn to stay prayerful, and let it dawn on
you what it means to pray without ceasing!
There were times when you were filled with strength according to the need. And even though you may not feel that capable
anymore right now, it doesnt mean that We arent anymore, to fill you with It! Just let that faith grow again, and make that
prayer work, asking for whatever strength you need!
Keep praying and asking for help from Up Here, and youll get it! (2015:163)

If you feel like youre not going to make it, well, thats a sign you need Our help from Above, which is promised to you.
Youve just got to ask for it. (2015:164)

How much have you prayed for My help yet, today?

If you havent, why do you, and how can you keep complaining?
How can you complain that you dont experience or feel much help from Above, if you hardly ever ask for it? When thats
one of the requirements for getting it? If ask and ye shall receive was one of My major statements on the topic, what on
earth can you expect, if you simply dont ask? (2015:165)

Get into a necessary shift of prayer and dependence on Me and your help from Above without which hardly anyone would
make it through the times to come! (2015:179)

Pray without ceasing no stopping, in order to make it through the hard and tough times to come! (2015:186)

Keep praying and stay as much in prayer for your protection and preservation from the enemys armys and followership
domain, just to make sure you can help as many receptive ones as possible to find a more blessed Thereafter for
themselves as well! (2015:190)

641
Put prayer first!
You need some protection; and you get that through prayer!
If theres an attack going on, of depression (which might easily be something the enemy does when you try to get more in
tune with Me), thats definitely time to pray! (2015:200)

Just ask Up Here for the strength you need! (2015:203)

Asking for help is going to get you some help; and rough times are mainly just reminders that youre not going to make it
through this world all on your own, but need that help from Above so, get into that groove of asking for it, once you
realize youre dependent on it.
Get used to depending on Our help from Above and if you dont feel or perceive its there yet, well, just do what you
should have learned by now to obtain it: to pray and ask for it! (2015:204)

If theres nobody praying with you, maybe it means you ought to learn by yourself first, what it means to pray without
ceasing.
Life may be rough, and may be tough in its current season for you now, but maybe thats whatll teach you the necessity to
obey that Scripture, and why it might be better to learn to pray non-stop.
You need My help to make it through whats to come, and in order to get it, you just need to ask for it and pray!
Sometimes it is better to learn to have Me do things for you through prayer, than insisting on doing it all yourself in your
own strength and power of the flesh. (2015:206)

If times get rougher and tougher, just deal with it and learn how to handle it with My Help through praying for it. (2015:210)

When things are going just too easily, folks just dont pray as much as they ought to until the circumstances start
getting harder and tougher.
What other way to prepare you than make you more familiar with the troublesome times you need to learn to pray to make
it through? (2015:218)

If you feel like you cant make it right now, its a reminder that youre dependent on the help from Above, and a reminder to
make you cling to it, ask for it and stay in that gear of praying without ceasing. It may be more important that you presently
realize, and time for you to get into it!
Life without My blessing and protection will be a hard one, so keep praying for and clinging to them! (2015:241)

Stay in prayer for that heavenly help without which itll be impossible to make it, eventually, and the sooner you learn to
cling to it, the better for you! (2015:242)

Start the day off by praying for help! Realizing you cant make it on your own is your only chance to make it through times
to come! (2015:245)

Dont be tempted to think you can make it down there by yourself, but rely on constant prayer! (2016:1)

Remember: first things to pray! (2016:3)

One of the differences it makes when things arent going so hot: It reminds you to pray! Just about the most important
habit one should stick to!
So, when things arent going too rosy, pray and ask for My help from Above! You can tell the difference between situations
when you do and when you dont.
Its also the most important and significant part and tactic to keep you in My Spirit! Not to mention the protection, supply
and many other blessings it brings more than just and simply hearing from Me, which also does some good, but not in
that wide range. So, dont neglect it, Amen?
Its your most important weapon and power against the enemy and his tactics, more than My telling you what hes up to
and how hes working. Once you can tell hes on the attack and wreaking havoc, its the best moment to start praying
against his powers and for My blessings and strength, along with the shield of protection through the angels that prayer
can raise
So, dont neglect the most important ingredient of our relationship! Prayer! - More important than all the information to
feed your spirit throughout a day. Prayer will bring into force more than that! The Power from Above operating and
fighting for you! (2016:8)

Invest more time into asking for help and strength in other words, making prayer the greatest source of the strength and
power to survive youll need!
Wisdom and other gifts of the Spirit are not just naturally bound to fall on folks, but have to be gained through prayer and
communication with Me and the Father through Me. (2016:20)

If things are getting rough for you, keep remembering what Ive been telling you about staying in touch with Me and the
needed power of prayer! The victories over attacks and negative feelings and sensations are mainly obtained through
prayer!

642
Learning to deal with and having to handle your circumstances is just what you need and especially how to deal with
and what to do about them, which is most of all arranged through the power of prayer!
Dont neglect the most important part of prayer!
Let Me be the Boss over conditions and circumstances! Commit them into My hands through prayer, and youll be able to trust
more that things will work out alright!
When change is due, Ill bring it up for you just ask Me to! Pray! (2016:21)

When youre not content with the circumstances, its time to pray for help to change them!
Ask for the kind of change you desire! To change the world depends on Our help. So, ask for it and use it!
Dont enjoy your circumstances? Then ask for My help and Power to change them! Thats the use and purpose of prayer!
Including the change of unpleasant circumstances and conditions of others you care about. Pray for changes when you
need them!
I can do anything you ask for! So, pray and youll receive! Amen? (2016:35)

Help from Up Heres available. Just got to pray and ask for it!
Keep asking for - in order to stay filled with - My Spirit, in order to be able to do My job for you! A principal reason for
staying in prayer! (2016:38)

You should know by now whats the main thing to help you through the troubled times: Prayer and depending on Me and
all the help from Above you can get! (2016:43)

If the troubled times help to make you more prayerful, that should pretty much clarify for you why theyre allowed to come
around at all! (2016:44)

Depending on help from Above on a daily basis is what will get you into the gear of asking and applying for it, in other words, to
stay in prayer which can be neglected when things are running too smoothly. (2016:50)

Stay of the positive side with some positive action! Amen?

It may be tough for you to come up with the necessary energy for it, but thats one thing you should definitely ask and pray
for! Ask and youll receive the energy you need! Which makes prayer pretty much the most important part of your
actions.
Remember, you wont make it through whats to come without prayer! So, make it the force to sustain you and help you
make it through! Nothing else will work and do the trick! Become more prayerful! Better than just careful! (2016:58)

Praying for the help and inspiration from Above is one of the primary things you ought to do and get into the groove of!
(2016:61)

You need to get used to the fact that you wont make it through whats coming without Our supernatural help from Above,
and a bit more prayer to get it is necessary.
When it turns into a miracle to survive, its best to turn to the power of prayer, all the help from Above you can get, and not
lean on and confide in what youve been able to do yourselves, because thats whats going to be necessary. (2016:63)

If you cant bear with whats at hand well, Ive told you plenty of times where and how to avail your Help from: More
prayer will do the trick! Trust Me! When times are rough, pray for the vic!
Times are going to get rougher yet!
How do you think youll make it then without asking and praying for My Help to make it?
Remember that some trouble can be avoided by praying for protection against it!
Some troubles in this world are just coming inevitably, so dont just expect different and rosier circumstances, but pray for
the victory to make it through them! (2016:76)

Instead of worrying about the dark future times ahead, pray for My protection to help you make it through it! My protection
and supply! Theres just no other way to make it through whats to come, but applying your prayer power for My Help,
protection, Strength and supply! So, the sooner you get into that prayer power on a more regular basis than ever before,
the better.
If you dont feel like youre going to be able to make it through whats to come, well good time to pray for all the Help and
Strength from Above you can get!
No wonder the New Testament already advises My disciples to pray without ceasing; in other words, pray non-stop! Pray
constantly! Thats just about what it took My early church to make it through the Roman Empire, and definitely what it will
take to make it through the darkest and most troublesome times of history.
So, keep in prayer, stay in prayer, get into prayer more than you ever did before, on a regular, constant basis! (2016:81)

Desperation in prayer is a power to cling to in times of trouble! (2016:84)

If you need help, pray for it!

Theres no way making it through the dark future without learning to pray for Help! (2016:86)

The sooner you get into the groove of praying without ceasing, the better. (2016:93)

643
Just close your eyes and pray! (2016:95)

Your spiritual enemies know your toughest times, and their opportunity to give you trials; so thats the time to call out for
Me and get in touch with Me, your Hope to make it through.
My input will give you some direction and encouragement, but youve also got to stay in prayer! (16:96)

Miracles are needed. Good time to pray for some!

More supernatural Help and miracles are going to be required in times to come so, a good time to start preparing for that
greater need for miracles, and getting into the miracles-prayer mode!
He that needs miracles prays for them. (16:97)

The greater the need for miracles and My supernatural Help, the more you will ask for them, and the more of an
opportunity Heaven gets to manifest Its Power to you.
Its important to get used to the substantial need for prayer, and the Help from Above youll get through it the relatively
small part you have to do to get miracles done.
Dont let circumstances rule you, but let Our Power rule them through prayer! (2016:99)

Recognizing that miracles will be more needed means, a greater prayer mode will be needed. (2016:104)

Remember, youre actually supposed to pray without ceasing, pray without stopping constantly praying. And that
wasnt just said for nothing. Not that there wouldnt be a time when youd actually really need that advice.
So, if you feel like you cant make it, pray!
If you dont know how to make it, pray! (2016:107)

When you feel down in the dumps, pray! (2016:112)

Becoming more dependent on My connection and communication with you, along with the power of prayer, is definitely a
more important task concerning whats coming than providing money for your physical support. (2016:145)

Pray for My Help and anointing to do whatever there is to do in the right way and spirit! (2016:148)

If the circumstances are tough, bathe them in prayer! (2016:152)

Let Me take care of disasters, and put Me in charge of them through your prayers, not just having good hopes that theyll
work out somehow!
Confront the disasters with prayer! (2016:159)

Miracle-mode will get you more into prayer- and praise-mode, along with the wonderful fact that Well be able to
accomplish a lot more through you than youve been able to and ever would be on your own, and in your own
strengths and capacities.
One thing about heavenly gifts: you only get what you ask for. Thats why prayer is such an important factor; and
unfortunately, without the utter need for something, those prayers are rarely uttered.
And yet, asking Me and the Father for something, praying for a need to be fulfilled and quenched from Heaven, is just one
of the most important things in life, and one that makes the biggest difference between believers and unbelievers. Isnt the
prayer to receive Me the way to Salvation from hell thereafter?
Prayer for the Holy Ghost the way to receive Heavens spiritual gifts?
The way to have your needs met when all other factors dont work out anymore, of working for them in the flesh?
- The way to ensure heavenly protection and to be continually blessed from Above?
And what will raise up the prayer mode in most people when theres not a need for it?
Thats one of the factors of desperation: Not much else but a circumstance to make you desperate will turn most people to
prayer finally.
And remember, thats something you ought to do without ceasing, without stopping, and in other words, something you
ought to do permanently! It will be utterly necessary to make it through the days to come; latest the ones of Satans
personal rulership down there as the Antichrist. Nothing but permanent prayer will get you through that! Itll ensure your
survival more than food and will pretty much even require it in order to get food without a mark of the Beast on your
hand or forehead.
To get ready you for those times of Satans personal rulership down there, I cant just let you keep going in a rut of
pleasure, entertainment and easy times, but with lots of challenges to cope with, leading you into the groove of prayer,
since you cant do it or manage to make it without Heavens Help one has to ask and apply for.
All the work you have to do for God to get something you need or want is to ask for it.
Is that too much to ask: to ask for something you may need and want?
Through the days to come, needing something like factors to enable your survival will require uttering some prayers
for it, giving Us the glory in your praises for it, and thanking us for the Help from Above, instead of leaning on your own
abilities. (2016:161)

Prayer has become more important than ever.

644
After decades of easy times its a bit tough to get into permanent prayer for protection mode but look at how radically
things can change, such as they did as foretold 40 years after My crucifixion in Israel!
Keeping on the sunny side in the spirit when the world around yous in darkness is pretty much a miraculous act, which is
basically why Im preparing you for dependence on miracles. And in order to get them and experience them, youve got to
ask and pray for them!
Keep in prayer for miraculous protection, because thats going to be needed in the times to come!
Worldwide disasters and troubles will require miracle-mode to make it through. Prayer in desperation mode will be what it
takes. (2016:164)

Keep your prayers for Our heavenly protection in the without ceasing mode! (2016:166)

Prayer power in order to make miracles happen is becoming a much more necessary source of power and the abilities
to make it through whats coming, and youve got to get used to it and get into prayer-mode!
Forget about your own abilities! Except for the ability to pray for all that you need to make it through whats coming. And
pray without ceasing will never have been as vital a three-word-verse as in the times coming.
Dont stop praying, if you want to make it through! (2016:167)

Cant make it on your own?

Well, dont try to make it without praying, because what the future has to offer will make it impossible without praying and
using Heavens Help to make it.
- Difficult circumstances? Well, not as hard as the tough ones coming so, just get used to applying for heavenly Help
through prayer, if you want to make it through the times to come! (2016:170)

Its pretty important to get into the Spirit in the mornings through prayer. (2016:172)

If things arent that easy, remember that getting into prayer might make a difference!
Feel like cant make it, cant manage it? Pray!
Cant see where the road in front of you leads? Pray to get the vision of what you cant see!
If life is difficult, it just indicates that you might need some Help from Above, and thats a reminder to pray and ask for It.
Get used to the fact of depending on prayer more and more in a world thats bound to turn into hell on Earth more and
more! (2016:174)

Feeling unable shows the need of prayer for Strength from Above to enable you. (2016:177)

That heavenly connection with Me is what dependence on Me amounts to and sums up in, apart from staying in prayer
without ceasing. (2016:191)

The time to get into desperate prayer mode is now, thats why Im not just letting you pass through easy circumstances,
but each day has challenges for you to cope with, in order to prepare you for the more difficult days to come. (2016:194)

It requires prayer, faith and trust in My protection to make it through the times to come; but in order to lift up your mood
and prospects, what helps is keeping your vision geared toward the better future My Word is promising than what the
world around yous got to offer. (2016:195)

Remember that praying makes a difference! And even hearing from Me isnt quite as important as asking Me for the Help
you need! - Time to get prayer power into rolling!
When things arent rolling the way they should, thats definitely time to pray.
So, remember that even hearing from Me isnt as important as asking Me for what you need and thats usually provided
through Help from Up Here.
And remember to pray for things to happen, not just try to make them happen in your own strengths and energies! (2016:201)

Having to make it through troublesome circumstances teaches you to stay in desperate prayer, and not just take things for
granted. (2016:206)

If you feel like you cant make it anymore by yourself its a good reminder of the need for prayer and applying for Our Help,
support and Strength from Above. (2016:207)

There are no spiritual forces at work fighting those doing the bad, unless theyre specifically prayed against. (17:2)

Change your modus operandi: soak everything a lot more into prayer!
Dont base your moods on the physical conditions and circumstances around you, but grab hold of the Power to overcome
them through prayer, through the Spirit! (17:6)

The state in which you dont know what to do or find yourself unable to, gets you into the necessary shape to apply for
Help from Up Here to get done what you cant and lead and guide you where youre supposed to go. Its what gets you into
the gear of prayer, asking Me to show you and help you.

645
Asking for help is basically what youll have to get used to. And thats what prayer equals: asking for heavenly Help, when
you cant manage on your own. Ask Us to do for you or others what you cant!
So, learn to stay a bit more in tune with Me through prayer, instead of just following the groove of the circumstances.
When the circumstances dont turn out what you think they should be, thats time to get into prayer and asking Me and
your heavenly helpers to changeem!
No clue what to do? Pray! Ill show the way.
You shouldnt focus as much on the circumstances as getting into the prayers to change them according to My perfect will
and plan for you. Dont just passively let circumstances direct you, but make sure you commit them into My hand through
prayer to make out of them what they should and are supposed to be!
If theres nothing else you can do, remember, you can still pray! (17:12)

If things run just in their normal and habitual way, theres not much chance for Us to get you into praying.
Raise the prayer level to avoid the otherwise more easily happening negative events! (17:19)

When you dont feel like you can manage the way things are going, its a good reminder of your need for My Help, and that
youve got to do something to get ahold of It: pray!
Unpleasant circumstances are definitely a reminder to keep your conditions and circumstances under prayer power.
The state of feeling helpless is a reminder to apply for Heavens Help a reminder to apply for the greater Power from
Above through prayer. (17:22)

If you dont want troubles and tough circumstances to start, just start the day off praying!
Remember not to let the enemy drag you into a passive mode! Get active through prayer and praise! (17:26)

Life getting harder and tougher each day is a sign of no more chance to make it in your own strength of the flesh, but a
demonstration of your need for and dependence on the Power from Above to make it. So, not much use in trying to make it
through your days without praying and asking for It. (17:34)

Its good and wise to stay in constant prayer, as Paul said: Pray without ceasing!
It is one of the major ways to stay and act in the Spirit, instead of leaning on the physical strengths of the flesh.
Prayer is the way to get and stay tuned to the Holy Spirit.
Having to lean and rely on prayer in order to obtain the Help, Strength and support from Above is the greatest factor to
help one realize that its not the strength and abilities of oneself thatll pull them through. (17:36)

Not making it is just a confirmation of the fact that you need Me.
And not just My input, but also My Strength and Power coming to you through prayer asking for It.
Times when you feel like you wont make it are reminders of not making it without praying.
Once you realize how dependent you are on Me, youre more likely to pray without ceasing, knowing you just need Me and
My Help to make it. (17:73)

Get into the prayers-for-miracles-groove! (17:80)

Heavenly Help you can get for nothing but asking for It through prayer.
Dont feel like you can make it? Make it through prayer! Get into prayer-mode!
If theres one thing that principally applies to doing what Im telling you, its praying. Asking Me for the necessary Help and
anointing to make it through the day.
Remember that the advice to pray without ceasing (stopping) is there for a reason! Especially when those hard times are
approaching, of persecution, disaster and war times, of which the Roman times were a fairly tame example!
Constant prayer is something and a habit to strive for.
Cant make it? Pray!
Feeling overwhelmed? Pray!
Come to the realization that the times are coming when you wont make it without constant prayer for heavenly Help and
protection! (17:84)

As far as your needs are concerned, keep trusting Me for them, keep praying for them, and trust Me that the prayers will be
answered according to your faith!
That you hardly feel like you can make it is a reminder to pray without ceasing (17:91)

One of the reasons why prayer is just about the most important task and thing to do: asking for Help against the evil one,
and to learn to rise above! (17:94)

Positive changes dont come by themselves, as long as the negative forces are still in control down there, which is one of
the main factors why prayer is such an important ingredient, and you can tell from the negative results of neglecting that
task of true believers.
There are many factors that require prayer, such as the spiritual state your kids are in. Apart from giving Us some positive
control over your circumstances through it. Not to mention protection.
So, in order to get out of or avoid the chaotic and disastrous situations, prayers a necessity.

646
When that prayer factor turns up a bit too late, it usually results in experiences that will also draw you closer to Me, but
theyre not as cheerful ones as they could be, such as thankfulness for protection and blessings, due to previous prayers
for those factors.
Realizing just how important prayer is, is one of the major lessons of life from experiences that could have been avoided
by using that Power of God to prevent them, and enjoy better ones - through prayer.
Life can be a misery, but how to prevent that, to you shouldnt be too much of a mystery, if you had been taught before
about the miraculous, positive effects of prayer.
And it really shouldnt be too much of a part of My spiritual input to you, for you to put into action! (17:96)

Learn to put up with negative circumstances and pray for their change, if too unpleasant or unbearable, or for greater
Strength from Above to handle them! (17:98)

If theres a bit of worry lingering in you, it may just be a reminder from the spirit world to keep you on guard and in prayer
mode without which you wont make it through the times to come! See that worry as a step of preparation by getting you
into prayer groove, putting your efforts and strengths where they belong! (17:99)

If life aint all easy and blissful, just remember what human act brought that state into the world, and dont blame Us for
allowing free choice, but learn to take the responsibility for any wrong ones made by you or your side of creation! Let it
help you to remember how important the right choices are!
Another thing and factor you should include in your daily prayers: to help you make the right ones! (17:101)

Prayer is a more important factor than prophecy. Its praying for the victory and the force to overcome the evil around you
each day thatll help you make it.
Stay in tune with Me principally through prayer, asking for the gifts you need to make it through the day: My Strength, Help
and Power, protection and spiritual Light to help you make it through the day in a world thats about to reach its state of
ultimate darkness! (17:102)

Give us the Power to alter your physical circumstances and conditions through prayer! To change them, you just need to
ask for it! - Ask Those with the Powers to do so! - Thats what prayer does.
So, sounds good to pray without ceasing? - Definitely when there are circumstances, conditions and situations to
change and alter. (17:104)

Part of the ability to change is definitely to pray for it, and have the faith that I can change you and make out of you what
youre supposed to be! (17:106)

One of the processes of preparing you to make it through those tough times to come is the prayer groove youll absolutely
and definitely have to get into when those dark times start, if not - preferably - a bit sooner.
To get into that constant prayer groove will enable you to make it through those times youll be utterly dependent on Help
and protection and supply from Above. (17:109)

When you have to wait for something, it might just be a reminder of the necessity to pray. (17:116)

Take whatever comes the best way you can and the best way to enable you to handle it: Pray!
How active you are in your prayer life is ultimately what will determine your state of being. If theres one Purpose of God
concerning humans, its to answer prayers. Those who dont well, you can see from what the worlds becoming as a
result. So, prayer is a largely important factor youll wish not to have neglected.
Its one of the main factors to make out of life what its supposed to be - through letting the Father make it what it should
be by asking him for any necessary changes coming up.
So, whenever youre not happy or content with life or the way things are going, the first thing you should do is pray.
Otherwise, the day youll stand in front of Us with a review of your life, and it wont turn out having been what youd have
wished, the question from Our side will be, So, why didnt you pray? Why didnt you ask Us to change the
circumstances in your favor?
So, if things arent the way youd like them to be, the best thing you can do in order to change them is pray. After that, We
might show you some things you could do in order to change things, if there are but praying for that necessary change
would be the first thing believers should do.
So, stay in prayer! - Amen? Remember that when it comes to prayer, Pauls counsel was: Never stop!
To stop asking Us to do something to make things better than they are is just allowing them to get worse.
So, dont forget prayer as one of the most important tasks of believers!
Otherwise theres no reason in asking why things have become a certain way you dont like them. The answer would
always be: Well why didnt you pray?
Its part of changing the world for the better. One of the things you can definitely do to improve things and conditions in
the world around you is pray for or against them, and for something better, some positive changes instead.
One of the safest ways to bring about positive change: prayer. Do what you can, and God will do what you cant -
providing youll ask Him for it.
So, if you need and desire a positive change, the first thing to get that accomplished, remember, is to pray! Ask Me, and Ill
do it!
So, if you cant see how youll manage to make it, ask Us for Our heavenly Help!
647
See the reason, sense and purpose of dependence on Us? Without asking Us for Our heavenly Help, you simply wont be
able to make it through the dark days to come of the enemys ultimate rulership on Earth. (17:121)

To make it through whats coming, you somehow know by faith that it all depends on Me and My Help, but also on your
availing yourself of that Help through prayer and staying in tune with Me. (17:127)

Praying Thy will be done shows that someones got the faith that God knows best what Hes permitting and allowing to
happen, even if it may not look like it (17:133)

It depends on your prayer-level whether you prefer death, or just seek and ask for Help to make something better out of
your daily situations down there Dont just wait until the breakdowns there, instead of praying to prevent it!
Not asking for Help from Up Here - for believers - is pretty much the choice for the toughest road to take. Waiting until the
ultimate state sets in, where you dont know how youll survive without prayer.
When some more of that might have prevented things from turning out to its extents
So, no clue how to make it? Ask Me! Im Here.
If life is getting tougher than what youre used to, dont forget to pray!
If things are making life tougher than you feel youre able to bear pray!
Need some heavenly Help? Ask for It!
Impossible situation? - Definitely requires prayer!
So, if thats one of a believers main tasks, how can you neglect it? - Having already experienced trouble that might have
been prevented through it.
Give Me a chance to make the best I can out of your situation through prayer!
Yes, life may be tough. But it will get tougher yet! - So, get prepared for the really tough times to come, and get into prayer-
mode to make it through them!
If you cant make it, its most likely because you didnt pray.
Maybe youve been tempted to take Our All-powerfulness for granted. Just remember, it doesnt come without praying and
asking for it! Ask, and ye shall receive!
A lot depends on you - your faith, and your asking for it! (17:137)

Dont let circumstances and conditions rule you, but grab hold of the Power above them, which Im putting at your
disposal through the power of prayer!
Dont expect the unexpectable, but just use My heavenly Power at your disposal through prayer, and make the best you
can out of it all! (17:143)

Dont take things for granted, since the positive manifestations of Our Strengths and blessings to pull you through will
only come to you through asking and praying for them and staying on the resistance against the evil powers soon to take
just about absolute and total control over that world! (17:145)

648
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

the Real Thing

I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Husbandman. - John15:1

Those who settle for mere earthly contentment are like goats who can survive on anything. But My sheep will never be
truly satisfied with less than My fresh green grass and the sound of My voice.
Nothing short of the Real Thing would ever do the trick for you, My loves. (I:97)

Im not forcing you, but trying to motivate you, to move you into action, begging you to get down to the Real Thing, face
the responsibility of the job you are given by Me. (I:230)

Be a sample of the Real Thing by laying down your life for the sheep down there every day of your life, not just talking
about it as if it would be some nice thing to do when the weather is not too hot nor too cold! (I:391)

The time for substitutes is over. It's time for the Real Thing, which is Me.
The time is now to really determine whether you will set your affections on things above or things that are seen: the eternal
or the temporal; the Real Thing or the cheap imitation and easy way out, Me or the devil's substitute.
(I:410)

When I grant you the desire of your heart, that blessing could be compared to a rose. And what do roses usually have? -
Right, thorns. "No rose without a thorn." So, why do you keep complaining about the thorns? Is that too high a price to
pay? Does that mean that, yeah, you wanted this heart's desire, but only if it comes without any problems? It's like saying
"Don't you have any roses without thorns?" Well, not if you want the Real Thing! "If it's real things you want, it's the Real
Thing you'll get."
If you want the Real Thing, not the devil's cheap plastic counterfeit and imitation, if you want beauty that lasts, please,
accept the little bit of suffering it's wrapped in, along with it, otherwise you'll just be cheating yourself! (I:535)

Keep in mind the long-term goal! The immediate, short-term gratification is often only a cheap fake, and a pretty poor
shadow of the Real Thing you could have if you'd only hold on a little longer, and don't feel like you've got to consume and
have it right now. (I:576)

If you pray for folks, that they won't be truly satisfied by none of the devil's materialistic counterfeits and by anything but
the Real Thing, I can protect them from that deception, just as I have protected you, and I can consecrate and reserve them
unto Me. (I:611)

Shoot and aim for the Real Thing! (II:59)

I'm trying to get you to bet on the "Real Thing." My currency is the Real Thing, the only thing that's going to endure and
see you through any crisis! (II:83)

The Real Thing is Here, where I am and rule and reign, in the invisible, eternal Realm. But "invisible" often isn't good
enough for those of little faith. (II:173)

the power of the flesh was temporary in the first place, and the closer you get to the end of that, the closer you get to the
Real Thing.
The real thing is the spirit. (II:178)

I'm asking you to aim for My Realm! My Realm is the invisible horizon I want you to shoot for, and the only Place where
you're really going to find your dream and its fulfillment. My Realm is the Real Thing. (II:192)

The Real Thing is right there on the scrubbing floors level of the nitty-gritty work of getting a tiny little family unit to
function properly. (II:208)

You need the Real Thing, and what's of Me, and so it should be when you do things. When you talk, when you work... (II:209)

Dont "sell" people your own idea of Me, but the Real Thing! (II:261)

Make your Christianity a Real Thing! (II:315)

All depends on how hard someone is looking for the Real Thing! If they really want the truth and nothing but the truth,
they're going to find Me! (II:332)

649
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 and
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. (II:340)

Those who are satisfied by less than the Real Thing - that joy unspeakable that comes from utter union with Me, found only
through the rejection of fleshly substitutes - only have a cheap counterfeit version of Heaven-on-Earth.
They may have everything, but if they don't have the heart of the matter, then they don't really have "it."
As long as you still have an idea of how "it" is supposed to look in the carnal, as long as you define what you're looking
for by certain physical criteria, of the way the ideal person should look or what age they should be, then you haven't really
gotten the point. (II:345)

What My heavenly Family has to offer is the Real Thing and the truth. The amount of truth that exists is like an ocean. (II:349)

The problem is that too few people are doing what actually ought to be done. They're finding nice, convenient ways around
it and to keep themselves busy with this and that and the other thing related to the Real Thing, but not the Real Thing
itself.
So, the less time you waste on "Hey, everyone, look here at my nice packaging, my nice wrapping of the gift!" - the better
it's going to be, because what the world needs is the gift, not any more wrapping paper! Just grab the gift, which is Me and
My Word, and give it out to whoever you meet; that's basically the message, that's basically the job, and anything else is
basically just a poor excuse and basically a waste of time when it really comes down to it. Especially in the light of the fact
that so many people are spending so much time on all that goes around it, and so few hit the nail right on the head! (II:358)

You need to know what you want and pursue it, instead of settling for the cheaper option! The cheaper option is usually
the devil's substitute for the Real Thing. In order to obtain the Real Thing you must pursue it with determination and not
allow yourself to be distracted or paid off with the cheaper substitute. The Real Thing requires its price. It's not the quick
and easy "fast food" solution!
Focus on the Real Thing, the real, long-term Goal - the spiritual!
Don't deprive your spirit of the greatest kicks it was created to enjoy by feeding it the cheap quick fix substitutes of the
enemy, his alternatives to the Real Thing! If it's Real Things you want, you're going to have to fight for them with
determination! Don't settle for the cheap imitation! (II:381)

I need and want the Real Thing, a bride that really wants Me, desperate to bring forth fruit to Me. (II:385)

People who trust in their own wisdom and knowledge and strength as their light are following a false light. It's that way -
usually their own - that seemeth right to a man, but the end of it is destruction. It's just not the Real Thing. (II:484)

"Life to the full," is the motto by which I like you to live. You don't have to be satisfied with only half of the Real Thing.
You've got the Real Thing, Me, and the way to really live it to the full, is to put My way of living into practice and find fun
ways to give Me and My Message of Love to others. (II:486)

If I'm in it, even if it's just a tiny little ministry, a tiny little life, a tiny little family you've got, then it's more in My eyes than
some real big thing outwardly. What determines the value of something is not how big it is, but how real it is! (II:502)

It's time to cast away childish things. You don't need to play a game anymore. It's time to become the Real Thing.
When you play a game, you're rehearsing for the Real Thing. You're nearly done rehearsing, and you're getting ready for
the Real Thing. It's time to leave this actor mentality behind and pierce through this matrix of falseness and pretense by
realness, by just being blindingly, stunningly, naked you. (II:536)

People slaving away for money and living for nothing but money, is all nothing but a bit of smoke, "a vapor that's here a
little while and then it's gone." But the Real Thing lasts forever. (II:537)

While at first glance your view seems to be more negative, more serious, more down-slanted than that of the materialist, it
really isn't, because your view is positive toward the true and Real Things in life that really matter; your view is positively
inclined toward Me. (II:539)

Part of the Real Thing is the very reality around you, the one that folks so often try to escape from.
When was the last time you have attempted to combine your mundane reality with the Real Thing of the endless vastness
of My Spirit, in order to find your ultimate purpose in it? (II:610)

You are a citizen of My World, the Real Thing. And if you experience the Real Thing and are part of it, the results of the
curse and all the disturbances of the enemy will affect you much less. (II:622)

People are still basically blind, when it comes to recognizing the Real Thing. They don't even know when they've found it,
or when they've been found... They think it's got to be something else, somewhere else. They always assume everything
they're looking for to be somewhere far off in the distance. It can never be right there. (II:624)
650
I prefer deep and profound beauty, even at great cost, over mere niceness. I always prefer the Real Thing, the really deep
thing, that grabs you down at the core of your being, moves you and changes you around.
My sheep hear My voice, and they detect the difference between eternal and temporal. They sense the difference between
their tales and the Real Thing, the eternal life I give. (II:644)

The Real Thing is more than words... A Sample Not a Sermon. (II:646)

No matter what you are, you've got to be real, and that's what it's all about. I'm washing away everything that's fake, false,
and all the excess. All that will remain is the Real Thing, the real you, the real warriors, believers and fighters, do-or-diers,
the ones I'm going to be able to count on!
Everything else must go! (III:24)

To "know" somebody is merely limited to knowing their exterior, their outer manifestations of what's inside, but hardly
ever the Real Thing that dwells inside that body. (III:45)

The human spirit is like a wild horse that needs to be tamed through the experiences it suffers. It has to be won over
through real and true friendship and love. No falseness or harshness or ulterior motives driven by pride will do. - Only the
Real Thing. (III:68)

It has turned out to be safer to make believers look a little less attractive to begin with, so that only those who truly search
for the Real Thing will also find it there. (III:80)

Emptiness is good for you. - You don't need to seek to fill that empty spot in your heart and soul with the first best
substitute for God you come across, you can have the Real Thing. (III:111)

Part of being the Real Thing: Your love for the one lost sheep, the lowest of the low, the least of these My brethren,
determines just how real you really are! (III:123)

You have assumed My knowledge... the Real Thing; not the fake wisdom of the world. (III:130)

Some people simply let their egos stand in the way of what I really want done, but they don't realize it. They think their
program is Mine. That's what happens when I have become nothing else but an extension of their own ideas of Me in their
minds, but they're not really in touch with the real Me, they don't really have the Real Thing, and consequently, the work
cannot take off, because people just fail to see My Spirit at work, but merely see a bunch of guys running around in their
own steam... the same as they see anywhere else: in politics, in the churches...
To become truly one of My leaders who truly lead people in My direction and the way I want for them to pursue, it takes the
willingness to let go of all that you think is the right way, and a determination not to settle for any delusion of "My way,"
namely the temptation to allow your way to become what you try to sell as "My way." It takes that kind of honesty with
oneself, that kind of desperation, that kind of determination to refuse to settle for anything less than My best, for anything
less than the Real Thing, which is My input, My direction, My Love and My heart...
"The Real Thing" is an Endtime theme: nothing else will work then. Right now, a lot of people are still running on their own
fake versions of whatever they consider their real thing, but then, it's only going to be the Real Thing that's going to do the
trick, My true Spirit, and nothing else, no more fakes, no more artificial hype, no more one's own excitement or personal
ambition or pet doctrine or modus operandi or the way they think it ought to be done, but only My way.
Lifes lesson is all about determining and distinguishing the Real Thing from the fake. Which one is the Real Thing, the
proper picture: this one, or the fake of the one who simply claims to know better? (III:145)

How much do you live in a self-satisfied illusion that you're doing fine with the amount of Me you're applying to your life
already? With how much or little progress are you content? Will you settle for less than the best? With how little of the
Real Thing are you satisfied? How much of Me can you handle before you say "stop"? (III:149)

You turn more and more from the fake you, the carnal you, the deceitful you that's driven by ulterior motivations, into the
real and lasting you that you become when you hang close enough with Me so that My qualities start rubbing off on you,
and you become more like Me, the Real Thing. - A real person. One about whom there is nothing false, nothing fake and
nothing phony. (III:157)

It would be nice if you would develop a little more pride in your Cause, in your faith - not for your own sake, but for Mine,
and theirs, since you won't do a very effective job at convincing them that I'm the Real Thing otherwise, if you don't dare to
advertize Me... (III:167)

The Real Thing is the full round circle of everything involved: not the ugly things filtered out, but the full spectrum of it,
with all the pain and gore and ugliness included. Don't cheat yourself out of the lessons and the rewards in dealing with
the not-so-nice things in life! (III:178)

What war has there ever been without a battle? This is no "cold war," nor merely a metaphor, but the Real Thing. And
everything that's worth something costs something. Every victory costs a battle. (III:179)
651
The Real Thing is Me, the whole of Me, not just that part of Me called prophecy. (III:198)

Being part of the Real Thing is the severest and most difficult series of tests one can take in this life!
The Real Thing doesn't look very inviting at all. It's difficult, in fact, in worldly language, you could describe it, "as tough as
hell."
It's the path that requires everything. The one where I will leave nothing left over of your pet quirks, your pet idols, nor any
of your little pet lies and deceits and cover-ups, all your little weapons of self-defense that you learn how to use in the
System. (III:302)

The "Real Thing" isn't something physical. The Real Thing is the Spirit. It's not a certain number of individuals as a group,
it's a spiritual entity. My Bride is a spiritual entity, and what makes her the Real Thing is My Spirit. Whenever My Spirit is
there, a person or a group becomes the Real Thing, or part of the Real Thing, because it's partaking of My Spirit. (III:304)

This is the Real Thing, not a drill, and this hour is the purpose for which I have ordained you.
That artificial display of boldness often isn't the Real Thing. (III:336)

For some things you need the Real Thing: the full current of My Power. (III:342)

The excitement and anticipation rises, as everyone eagerly awaits what on Earth might be My next move to perform the
Real Thing. (III:350)

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. (III:352)

Youve got to be so convinced that youve got the Real Thing, that you wont be affected by the fact that some or even the
majority of your outfit dont seem to be representing what youd call the Real Thing! Youve just got to keep being and keep
preaching the Real Thing regardless! (III:390)

The Real Thing, namely reality, is far more complex than a little two hour Hollywood episode could ever manage to tell.
(III:419)

Show folks that a love relationship with Me beats any Hollywood episode! Show them what love is really all about! Those
romantic love films are nice, but theyre not the Real Thing that they could have with Me! (III:420)

Ive been trying to get you into wanting and recognizing the Real Thing: not to have a relationship with Me for whatevers
in it for you, because thats just not the way genuine happiness is found; not to do things you know please Me only for the
benefits you might reap from it, but to really develop a love thats real, and that is so much more than a feeling. (III:438)

Either I truly manage to do the work through you, and I manage to empower you to do it in spite of your weakness, or the
whole thing is just going to be one more trip of the flesh. Either I am the Real Thing, or not. Do you think what the world
needs is another trip of the flesh, another do-it-yourself type of religion? (III:456)

Consider how much you have been affected by the imagery of perfection that has drilled you to find flaws with reality, the
Real Thing!
Sorry if the Real Thing isnt all that nice and shiny as the plastic fakes the enemy creates with his illusions, but it has one
advantage over his fakes: its real, very much unlike those seemingly perfect imitations the devil creates. (III:480)

The Real Thing is not a group of people, but the Real Thing is relationship with Me. Its loving Me, the meaning of life, and
the secret.
Whenever you neglect the Real Thing, it becomes unreal, and your life and everything going on in it becomes less real,
less what its supposed to be, less soaked in My Love, simply because youve been neglecting to make sure that youve
got enough of it yourself in order to run over with it and spill it on others, including those closest to you. (III:481)

The most important thing is that you live the Real Thing, real relationship with Me and each other. (III:488)

This generation has become so hedonistic, they all practice some sort of escapism into a dream world of pleasure and a
totally altered reality, just in order not to have to deal with the Real Thing and life as it is at hand before them to touch and
feel and chew (III:516)

Its not really the Real Thing, until you put your all into it. (III:534)

There is a difference between the official, recognized and lukewarm version of Christianity, and the white-hot Real Thing!
You can stop that treadmill of always falling for the apparent, or even the inclinations of your own mind. You can prove and
test which and what is really real, what is truly of My Spirit and what isnt you can have the Real Thing, and not just fall
for something that may appear right, or just because its something that sprung forth from your own mind. (III:542)
652
Theres just nothing like the Real Thing!
The Essence and the Real Thing may be exhausting and tough work, but its still the number one most effective way to
bear real lasting fruit! (III:544)

People well established or deeply anchored in the Matrix dont like folks telling them its all an illusion and a lie.
They have chosen the temporal over the eternal; the god of this world over Me; temporal riches over eternal, lasting
rewards, materialism over love, the fake over the Real Thing. (III:545)

Show-business type of Christianity makes it look like you can be one of My true disciples and yet a superstar at the same
time. A lot of the things they say sound very anointed and right on, and possibly, peoples lives are changed and genuinely
touched through some of them. But ultimately, the way they lead others is just another dead end street up Mammons road,
another case of man worship and indulgence in the flesh, temple worship and the creation of a new idol: yet another, even
more cunningly disguised counterfeit of the Real Thing. (III:554)

The enemy tries to pacify you with substitutes for the Real Thing that make you think, Come on, its not all that bad,
really! No need to start praying for any drastic changes here
Thats another way he can lull people to sleep. Its a false sense of contentment, which actually amounts to settling for less
than you could have and get out of life, if you would just be desperate and willing enough to pray for Me to change things.
(III:568)

There arent all that many folks who are really being the kind of voices and samples with their lives that really count, and
really make a difference. There arent too many whove really got the Real Thing! (III:569)

That which has been truth all along will crystallize and show and reveal itself to have been the Real Thing, and stand out as
such, apart from all false or incorrect interpretations. (III:586)

Most people have fallen for some of those yummy, howbeit elusive options at one time or another. Its your job to tell them
that thats not where its at, and that there is a Real Thing, that may not be quite as yummy as the fake looks, but at least
its real, its lasting and its truly nourishing and of real value, unlike the plastic fake. (III:599)

In the flesh you may see death, but the life that is wrought by the Spirit is the Real Thing that lasts. (IV:12)

Youve got to lose whats disposable and unnecessary, the fake and the superficial things, in order to gain the Real Thing,
that which lasts, and has true and eternal values.
I give you the Real Thing in return for the fake you were chasing before. The Real Thing is connected to suffering. -
Beauty for Ashes. No real beauty without some pain and suffering! (IV:38)

Everyone follows what they consider to be the truth, and only the end of the road will reveal whose hunger for truth was
really the purest, and whose faith, love for Me, desire for Me and My truth, along with their discernment and usage of the
other spiritual gifts and weapons, led them to the Real Thing. (IV:98)

Youre small, despised and persecuted, and far from perfect, and you wonder, How could we be the Real Thing?
Well, only because Ive said so.
You are it because Ive said it. (IV:102)

The Real Thing is yet to come; this isnt it! Some things are worth waiting for! (IV:114)

The closer a thing comes to the beauty of God, the more of a danger it can represent in distracting you from the Real
Thing.
The love of God the Real Thing like the sun, is pointing and focusing and radiating outward, and is geared to giving and
ever keeping on giving, it never stops.
You can only have the Real Thing by tapping into the Source of the Real Thing. (IV:118)

Hang on to Me and spiritual things for satisfaction and fulfillment instead of those carnal counterfeits and mere shadows
of the Real Thing!
It takes wisdom to find out what is not My way, but just a poor counterfeit of it, like all the devils counterfeits of My Real
Thing.
It depends on each individual whether theyre going to strive for the Real Thing in their lives, and see to it that their life
becomes an example and a taste of the Real Thing, instead of just another fake.
The more you have experienced the refining fires of My chastisements, the closer to the Real Thing your life will be, and
the more of Me it will resemble.
They that seek Me, the Real Thing, with their whole hearts, will also find Me!
The real action and the Real Thing always come from the Spirit World the Place where everything will wind up again.
(IV:119)

You and I know that theirs is not the Real Thing!

653
If they would really have the Real Thing, they would recognize My voice when they hear it.
They could have chosen the Real Thing when they got a glimpse of it! They could have recognized Me in it and they could
have sought to get more of it. But they didnt really want it. It was too scary for them, and the other road looked much more
inviting and comfortable
Let them keep kidding themselves with their games of make-belief! The kind of faith thats theirs is make-belief. They
pretend theyve got the Real Thing, and go through the motions, but dont let them kid you: its not!
Sometimes I let you walk a piece of the way with them just to let you know that their way is not where its at, to let you see
the flaws in it, and where the differences are between what theyve got and the Real Thing. The Real Thing is always
unorthodox, apart from the norm, shockingly revolutionary and different. (IV:121)

Fakes may be tastier and more attractive than the truth momentarily, but they fail to satisfy in the long run, and sooner or
later people will develop a taste and hunger for the Real Thing. (IV:132)

Dont let them intimidate you with their bills of paper that is here today and gone tomorrow! Live for My eternal currency! If
youre going to be real and a representative of the Real Thing, then youre going to have to be real in this aspect, too!
(IV:135)

As long as there is still a whole lot of System or ego attached, it cannot be the Real Thing, because only I am the Real
Thing, and the degree to which you become the Real Thing, too, is determined by how much your life truly revolves around
Me. (IV:138)

People who arent really real on the inside cannot really have a good and clean connection the Real Thing with Me, the
Real One, either, because they simply dont have the faith for it. They subconsciously know that theres something
standing in the way between Me and them their self-deception, their lie that theyre telling themselves and the pretense
they think they need to put on in order to be able to stand to live with themselves. (IV:140)

Its the sheer beauty of the one silent, monumental Real Thing against all that sea of frauds and fakes that will make it so
very special and precious (IV:165)

The knowledge of evil creates the illusion that you really know something, when nothing could be further from the truth.
The head stuffing of the devil creates the illusion in peoples heads that theyre actually smart. - Loads and loads of
useless information, creating an illusion of a reality thats just a fake, and a poor counterfeit of the Real Thing.
As long as theyre content with their fake version of reality, they wont start looking for the Real Thing. (IV:171)

If youre really looking for the Real Thing, nothing else, and thats all you want, then you wont settle for anything else, no
matter how many benefits it may bring you.
Part of the test of life is finding out how much you really want the Real Thing, and how easily you might settle for anything
less, even if it may appear to be seemingly more, or especially then.
With everything this world has to offer, decide for yourself if its worth it, and if its as good as the Real Thing, which may
be the quieter, humbler and more solitary road, but at least wont create any false illusions of things that entice you and
give you certain kicks and thrills, but with the passing of time turn out to not really be real at all (IV:174)

Promote the Word, in order to reveal the beauty of the Real Thing!
Unfortunately, once someone gets hooked on the imitation, its hard to awaken a hunger and desire in them for the Real
Thing. It takes waiting until the disappointment with the devils substitute sets in. (IV:176)

The enemys an illusionist, and while his pictures can look deceivingly real, they hardly ever turn out to be, and while My
perhaps slightly more modest picture of reality may not appeal to you quite as much, youre much better off there, because
you can trust in it as being the Real Thing.
The Real Thing is reality according to Me, which is always something you need to distinguish from the false, painted and
illusory fake reality and matrix of the devil.
If you want to know where things are really at, stick to Me and My Real Thing, the true picture of reality as derived from My
input that I give you. (IV:182)

We can see the Real Thing that is you, and We appreciate it, like it and love it wholeheartedly, in spite of its current flaws,
which are really only temporal and in large part due to the conditions and what youre going through there.
But We can help you overcome and rise above those if you just tune in to Us more, and Our channel, and come to visit Us
Here more often.
This is where your heart and soul and spirit and mind belong, and where you can find true satisfaction and fulfillment. Here
is where youll find the Real Thing, and not fake after fake after fake. (IV:185)

The Real Thing is the alternative to the many fake realities that people build in their minds, their concocted results of their
own wishful thinking. The Real Thing is My touchstone, My testing point for each one of you as Im asking you, when you
confront each test in life: Can you handle this? Can you deal with the Real Thing? Are you man or woman enough to
accept and cope with this full scope of reality without having to resort to any lies, as tempting as they may sound?

654
The Real Thing is My truth, the weapon with which I counter and defy Satans lies, and not many people can handle it. Its
pretty strong wine, and a very rare vintage in this world, only known and appreciated by a handful of chosen
connoisseurs
The truth is that pearl, that prize of great value, that hidden treasure that the true seekers set out to find, and only few will
find it. Most cling too much to their own imaginations of what the truth should sound like, or what the Real Thing should
look like when they find it. Others do find it, virtually stumble over it, or rather, are found by it, and dont really appreciate
it.
So, even among the small minority who happen to find the Real Thing in life, yet only another chosen few are actually
useful in promoting My Cause and causing the treasure they found or are found by to bring dividends by sharing it with
others.
The question is, who can touch and feel and discern My Real Thing from all the other fakes? Who can taste that this is
indeed it?
Who can let go of all that which doesnt really matter? Who will dare to let it all go for the Real Thing?
Who will be My people, My chosen ones who will have chosen not to settle for anything less than the Real Thing? (IV:186)

The faulty and flawed leadership of the world will serve to help people appreciate the Real Thing when they will finally see
It, and experience truly righteous and just governance in My Kingdom. (IV:204)

Youve got to prove that youre the Real Thing; and you only become the Real Thing by keeping your eyes and focus
steadily on the Real Thing: Me.
Im allowing the enemy to play the role of the big, tough head honcho to see whos going to fall for it, and who will not be
fooled by his act but will refuse to settle for anything less and other than the Real Thing.
Only those who want the Real Thing are going to get it. (IV:213)

No wonder you feel weird and odd if you try your feet at going for the Real Thing.
In this world of plastic imitations of everything, the Real Thing may look downright odd in comparison. The Real Thing
strikes them as weird. (IV:232)

Were back to the Real Thing vs. the big fake. Is the Real Thing always the easier thing, or the more popular? No. But is it
still the Real Thing thats going to outlast the fake? Yes. (IV:238)

The Real Thing is the natural thing, the way I made it. (IV:250)

You can live communally as much as you like, you can live alternatively as much as you like, but if folks dont have the
Spirit of My Words in their hearts, if they dont focus on that most essential ingredient of that life, then it becomes just
another carnal fake of the Real Thing.
The Spirit Life is the Real Thing. The flesh is only a poor counterfeit, and more like death in comparison. Its basically what
the devil had to offer. This kind of death life is what you get if you listen to his lies and follow his ways of rebellion against
Me Its not the Real Thing, just a poor counterfeit.
The sad thing is that most people would rather have the expensive, enslaving fake than My free and liberating Real Thing,
because exerting that amount of trust in Me is just too much for them to ask. (IV:257)

Can you discern and tell the Real Thing when you see it and have got it right in front of your nose?
My Original is sometimes hard to distinguish from the enemys fakes and copies Only My chosen ones can spot the Real
Thing from among the fakes. (IV:271)

For lasting and deep satisfaction, theres nothing like the Real Thing: the truth of My Word. (IV:275)

Fakes are always only temporal. Only the Real Thing is what lasts.
Let them enjoy their fake while it lasts, and come and fight on with Me for the Real Thing! (IV:280)

If the devil knows youre looking for love and truth, he tries to alter these goals in your mind, so that what you will be
chasing after wont be the Real Thing, but a counterfeit which will look deceivingly like the original, but isnt quite it. Hell
cause you to look for attention, praise and affirmation, and a more superficial kind of love than the Real Thing. (IV:283)

Im teaching you to discern between the devils fakes and the Real Thing, including his fake versions of love. Getting to
know the Real Thing when it comes to love is really what its all about, and it often takes people years and years of their
lives before they find out what love really is, as opposed to all the clichs and feelings that they associated with it. (IV:313)

Those who refuse to settle for less than the Real Thing, know that any efforts of their own to transform themselves into
something better are only puny and shadows of what its really meant to be. (IV:354)

It takes faith to hold out for the Real Thing (IV:362)

Its a bit the question whether you want it all in the right there and now, or youd rather have the Real Thing a little later.
It is a question of faith. Faith, as in, something other than all thats available to you immediately there and now; faith in a
Promise that may not be fulfilled instantly, but in My own good time. (IV:369)
655
Its better to have waited for the Real Thing than have wasted all your energies on some fake. (IV:370)

If youre looking for the Real Thing, then part of the criteria you need to bring is a readiness to deal with reality and
whatever it happens to hand you. (IV:373)

Remember, the Real Thing is always better than any phony or fake could ever be! (IV:378)

Theres a higher goal and purpose than just playing games and having fun.
Its time for the Real Thing, and the real hard core lessons of life! (IV:379)

Theres nothing like the Real Thing, and once you experience and enjoy the Real Thing, the fake definitely fades into the
background, and you simply dont need it anymore. (IV:390)

Thats the thing about faith: no matter how strong it is, it will only ultimately turn out to be the Real Thing in getting you
where you want to get, if its placed in the truth. (IV:421)

Everything needs to be tested as to the degree of its purity and potential of being the Real Thing.
Is your faith the Real Thing? (IV:428)

You will never impress anyone as genuine, or the Real Thing, by pretending to be someone youre not, trying to fit into a
niche youre not made for, and trying to do something that wasnt really authentically your calling to begin with, even if you
think that thats the thing that should be expected of you (IV:435)

What's happening in your lives is the Real Thing, and that's not what everybody can boast of in this world. Many folks are
content with some fake. (IV:447)

Part of the process of getting to know what the Real Thing is, is to find out what it isnt. (IV:453)

Diamonds are a very good example of the Real Thing, since there are so many fakes that can hardly be distinguished as
such with the naked eye. It takes an experienced eye with a great affinity for details.
A lot of what may seem to appear quite real may come deceivingly close to the Real Thing, but only after closer and
extensive scrutiny turns out to be not, whereas others who may not have looked as promising to begin with may turn out
to be the Real Thing, after all.
When you experience the disappointment of someone turning out to have been a fake, it strengthens your desire to make
sure you are the Real Thing yourself. You wouldnt want to be a fake like them.
Any degree and measure of deception often mostly self-deception to begin with will contribute to the probability of
someone turning out to be less than the Real Thing. So, basically, what it all depends on is ones determination to refuse to
settle for anything less than truth. (IV:458)

The Real Thing is My genuine Love. (IV:465)

Spur-of-the-moment actions have been so far, so good, but theres something different coming, something lasting, the
Real Thing.
One major indicator whether something is the Real Thing is whether it lasts. The Real Thing is forever.
Not another half-hearted effort, but in the Real Thing you must invest your all, every ounce of energy, every bit of strength.
(IV:471)

If its the Real Thing you want; that which lasts forever, you might just have to forego opulence and wealth in the physical
and find Me there at the bottom of wits end and in the emptiness inside, within that aching void I sometimes leave in your
life, just to show you that all else really fails to satisfy that deepest longing in your soul. (IV:476)

Just as you and a few others have already found out, so the rest of the world is also bound to realize that theres nothing
like the Real Thing. (IV:477)

I do have folks doing what they think is promote My Cause, but awareness of the fact that their approach isnt the Real
Thing is growing. (IV:494)

Consider this part of the process of reaching the goal of attaining the Real Thing: not just finding it, but being it or part of
it. A big part of the secret on your quest for the Real Thing is becoming It. (IV:498)

When it comes to really profoundly touching on the essence of life, the lives of many are merely a farce compared to the
Real Thing.
Their lives are too filled up with artificial clutter for any room left in them for the Real Thing. (IV:518)

Life strikes you as a farce; not the Real Thing, not truly what you could call life, or living.

656
As long as there are selfish factors of carnal desires in there, it never could be. Only once a life begins to truly yield to the
Spirit does it become a life worth living.
Some fake version of love that claims to be the Real Thing will only wind up leaving blood stains on the ground (IV:520)

The rough times help you find out which from among your friends can be counted on as the Real Thing, and who not.
(IV:521)

Youll never be truly happy and satisfied with anything less than that Real Thing, but you simply must make an effort to
stay as positive as you can, even with circumstances being less than ideal.
You have the key to real and lasting happiness, and when others plastic happiness fades, it will be your turn to offer them
the Real Thing, even if that includes having to fight the enemy of their souls!
Wouldnt you much rather have the Real Thing, believe in the truth and know what the truth is, than living a lie? (IV:534)

Youre looking for the Real Thing? You will get no less. (2011:9)

Those who seek the Real Thing will find it. (2011:22)

You wouldnt want to be another preacher who cannot practice himself what he preaches, but you want to be the Real
Thing, someone who can also show a living example of what he advertises. (2011:36)

Get your focus on the Perfect that's to come! Remember that the purpose of this time is to prepare and get you ready for
the Real Thing, and you'll appreciate it all the more once you get there. (2011:66)

Theres a condition attached to anything turning out to be the Real Thing, and thats that you stay close to Me. (2011:75)

Theres not much of a chance for fakers at this game. Its the Real Thing, and an honest, the-truth-will-hit-you-in-the-face
kind of thing, whichever way it will come in the end, and if you can take that, well, thats a good thing! (2011:83)

If the Real Thing is only yet to come, then perhaps youre doing wisely not to get too attached to and putting all your hopes
exclusively in the there and now (2011:84)

If youre on the lookout for the good things and the Real Thing, you will eventually find them, and wont be deceived for
long by what the bad windows have to offer. (2011:95)

You can always expect to find Me, the truth and the Real Thing, in the totally unexpected. (2011:115)

The Real Thing doesnt always appear to be thus right from the start: It grows, and it may take some time and cultivation
until you really begin to recognize it for what it is, so hang on! (2012:7)

If you want to become a hit with the everlasting crowd, theres nothing like realness, since, after all, thats what theyve
always been looking for, and what theyve always wanted, the Real Thing, firmly refusing to settle for less, such as all the
Hollywood style fakes. (2012:25)

Youve been enjoying the Real Thing for some time now, and youre just beginning to find out that nothing cuts the cake
quite like it. (2012:66)

Making money is the excuse people come up with in order to avoid getting down to business with the really serious
matters of life.
As far as Im concerned, it is and will always be not much more than a cheap counterfeit of the Real Thing. (2012:77)

Dont lose your faith in the Real Thing, that which is as far as youre concerned to come, and can be enjoyed in
glimpses and whiffs of My heavenly atmosphere whenever you manage to tune into it.
Its going to be good, its going to get better, and its going to be the best you ever had, so theres something to look
forward to. (2012:80)

The obvious is for the dumb, the less profound, those too lazy to be seekers, who dont care for the Real Thing, and is
usually the temptation of the Enemy for those who will fall for him and his lures and treats. The less obvious, the hidden
beneath that shiny, artificially polished surface of obvious, is for those who seek for more: the intricate details and often
complex mysteries of how things really are and work, and those who care to look more than once to find out whats really
going on, who dont swallow the official, simple, but often totally false explanation.
You care for the Real Thing? Then youre going to have to dig a little deeper than the rest of the superficial and easy-to-be-
satisfied crowd. Find out what was and is really a mistake, true and false, and what hasnt been. In other words, dont buy
into the cheap lie, but dare to afford the truth! (2012:85)

Stay with what youve got & enjoy the Real Thing while you have it. (2012:94)

You can always expect to find Me, the truth and the Real Thing, in the totally unexpected. (2012:115)
657
Youre wondering, is this thing still going to work out? Youre wanting to make sure that its the Real Thing youre betting
on, and I dont mind undergoing some more of your scrutiny to make sure that Ive got what it takes to see you through. In
fact, I welcome it, since I know its only bound to strengthen your faith in Me more. (2012:121)

If orthodox would have worked, I might have tried it.

But so far it has only served as a very poor and vague shadow of an image of the Real Thing, because its usually based
on peoples conservative perceptions of God that are quite far from His true, radical Nature. (2012:124)

Another angle of the Real Thing is education: Gods true and divine education, as applied in the School of Life, and as
opposed to the Systems head stuffing the educational system. It is so plain that education is just another fraudulent
branch of industry, a far cry from the Real Thing.
And as far as Im concerned, thats a lesson well worth learning. (2012:128)

I want to make sure that when you see, its the Real Thing, the things you see in My light, and not something you want to
see and thus project into your mind as truth or reality. (2012:145)

Theres nothing like the Real Thing of tapping right into Me and My Spirit, the very Source of all that is good. (2012:150)

Youve still got to be prepared for some rough stretches, so its never the right moment to let your guard down or assume
an attitude of having arrived at your destination, because this is not it. Not yet. It may contain a few glimpses and tastes,
as you experience those bouts of joy, happiness and contentment, but the Real Thing is yet to come. (2013:5)

It just remains to be seen which of the schools will turn out to have been the Real Thing, and which one is the school of
false teachings, based on lies and deceit, even if temporarily providing visible success, and which is the School of Truth
(2013:24)

Well see what were going to have to do to bring the Real Thing to those who really want it, are ready for it, and who will
then in turn become the Real Thing, the real and true Endtime church that is needed in order to bring about the end of this
sad tale to be called history, and My Coming. (2013:58)

Things may still keep going for a while, but from the looks of it, do they seem to be getting any better? And even if they
were, youre not getting any younger, and you might say, youre on your way down, and thats where the saying is once
again confirmed that My way up is down, since thats the direction in which youll find My reality the Real Thing, not the
matrix they sell you as reality. (2013:69)

This is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, that men loved darkness, rather than light (John 3:19). They
prefer the darkness of untruth over the light of the Real Thing, and in their eyes, the imagery is practically reversed: the
lies seem bright, shiny and tempting, while the truth bears an eerie resemblance of darkness to them, which scares them.
Truth is for the brave. Lies are for the cowards. (2013:70)

I cannot make peace with the devil. I know him too well.
His are just wickedly poor counterfeits of the Real Thing, and it hurts Me every time any of My brides fall for one of them.
(2013:85)

Popularitys a very poor base for any life to be built on.

Its comparable to plastic, and definitely not what youre looking for if its the Real Thing youre after. (2013:91)

One property of the Real Thing, if thats still what you want, is that it has no stopping point: It goes all the way, come what
may. Can you do that?
Can you keep going, not look back, not look down, to the left or right, but just up to Me and keep believing? Whats in it for
you? The Real Thing! Can all their cheap counterfeit mass products that wont last! The Real Thing is the only thing worth
striving to attain, and youre on your way there, if you just keep it up! Forget about the rest! Just keep that in mind, and
thats what youll get, alright?
You wont be disappointed by keeping your eyes on the Real Thing! Thats what youll get, and thats what youll be. What
other goal could there possibly be worth striving to attain in life? What else do you need? What other could you want, than
to finally, some day turn out to be real with nothing false or fake about you? (2013:112)

Learn to appreciate the Real Thing by getting a taste of the fake! (2013:124)

What would you expect from any off-shoots of a totally self-absorbed giant fake? What else can you, except for them to be
self-absorbed and fake? Most of them have never even tasted the Real Thing, and hardly have any concept of real at all.
So, dont be too shocked when they dont know how to react when all of a sudden theyre confronted with it, and many
may even prefer to stick to their old homegrown fake, just because their more familiar with it. They dont care whether its
fake, as long as its theirs. Rather a fake made at home than the real thing from somewhere else (2013:126)

You should be leaning on Me and find the Real Thing (2014:14)

658
Believe in Me as the one true and Real Thing to believe in! Remember Gods Reality! (2014:81)

Doesnt love include leaving others that kind of freedom to make their own decisions and choices?
And then the choice to accept the Gift He gave: His Son, to give folks a chance to grab on to the Real Thing, anyway -
Sounds like something to promote, or not? What better thing can you think of? (2015:149)

The Real Thing is waiting to descend from Up Here, where you belong, and you should get more and more familiar with the
Power of. (2015:155)

The passive love motion, of only receiving love is not it, and it could be the biggest mistake in life. Whereas the active
mode of giving love away, even when theres nothing coming from the other side now thats what makes love turn into
the Real Thing! (2016:88)

Thats what I like about My followers and the Fathers children, when they get into realizing that the physical world
governed by our enemy couldnt be the Real Thing!
The Real Things Up Here! (2016:147)

Having been the Lightbearer once, the enemy still knows how to create fake light through his modes of deception
another example of how important it is to distinguish and discern the Real Thing from his fakes. As much of a liar he is,
hes become an expert in creating fakes so, its becoming vitally important to distinguish those from parts of the Real
Thing! (2016:163)

When perfect expectations arent met, peoples faith can give up their ghost when dependent on conditions and physical
events, instead of the Real Thing the Word in spite of it all and whatever happens. (17:16)

Another reason why patience is such an important gift from Above: Wait and see! I mean, really see the Real Thing,
instead of the hocus pocus apparitions of the enemys concoctions! (17:17)

The enemy lets folks get by in their own strengths; or blesses them with his strengths and gifts his imitations of the
Real Thing and Our divine values. (17:34)

Its important to be sure of the right and proper motivation in My followership. Anything else than the Real Thing could be
a disaster eventually. (17:37)

When their Savior died, having been nailed to a cross like a criminal and buried, my eleven disciples had a hard time
believing, too, whether I was the Real Thing, after all. But when the dead One stood before them (17:45)

Our enemy will appear in the flesh as a savior, but if hes been a terrible fake of a god, hell definitely be the worst
possible fake of a savior. Even if the person hell take over, originally might appear as quite close to that.
So, be aware of the fake salvation of the world expecting it! And keep hanging on to the Real Thing - the Savior that came
down to die for you, and not take millions of lives of My followers, as the great imitator will!
Remember Me as the Real Thing, definitely in comparison to the coming imitation!
Dont give up hope!
Make Me your Hope, and you wont give in, since My hope is the Real Thing! (17:114)

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

Relationships & People

As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.. Luke 6:31

You can only be one if I am your Centerpiece. I am the Missing Piece. When Im not there in the first place between you, as
the Center and pivot of all you enact and do, there is only a void for Satan and his demons to fill.
Make Me the Center of your lives and all will be well with you. (I:1)

Its not good to be working with people who cant give you any spiritual support. (I:89)

Its easy to spot the negative in others, and so difficult to see the good. Oh, its easy to see the good in others that are far
away, like in those unreachable superstars the devil is trying to get everyone to think theyre so great, well maybe some
of them are. - But that person next door or in the next room?
Instead of unrealistically glorifying people that are completely out of your reach, why not come to grips with the fact that
their whole wonderful appearance might be just a fake, whereas those people you think you know so well may have a
deeper side to them than you might ever know, if you dont care to find out.
Look beyond that which you can see! Look into the heart! There you will see real and lasting beauty! You may also see
pain, you may see tears and hurt, but you will never, never wind up disappointed by some pretty false front there that turns
out to be something completely different than what it pretended to be! Look deeper!
Look into the hearts of people! Open your eyes to the depth that lies beyond the apparent! (I:182)

You dont all have the same tastes, likes and dislikes, (-and you dont have to). Are you going to be able to work with each
other in spite of your differences?
There are great lessons to be learned about team spirit, about humility, about not seeking that which is your own, about
preferring one another...
There are different types of human personalities, like there are different types of angels and spirit beings, different types of
animals or astral bodies: stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, etc. They all fulfill different purposes to maintain the
balance of the universe. (I:228)

Indifference and familiarity are two major enemies of true and good friendship and companionship. Gratitudes an attitude
you cant do without as friends! And show your appreciation by returning kind deeds of love.
You dont have the patience for friends with handicaps? I was an Outcast, the Son of God, permanently marked as not
one of them, battling with the devil all My life, appalled by the hypocrisy, hardness and evil of their hearts and destined to
die a criminals death. My destiny was My handicap!
Work on your qualities as a friend. Your companions need someone loving, patient and understanding, not aggravated!
Here comes in the art of discerning between the sin and your friend, the sinner.
Freely give yourselves to each other unselfishly, without expecting anything in return. (I:262)

I have made women different; the soft, warm, emotional counterpart to the hard, cool, rational way of the masculine
character.
There is more you can do in order to understand them, and I want you to! Thats your homework for this course in inter-
human relationships you subscribed to in this college of life.
Its work, and the hardest part is overcoming your own lethargy and lack of interest.
Life is all about venturing out into the unknown, exploring the other side, conquering the new. Otherwise theres no
progress, no challenge, no growing, no forward movement.
Put yourself in their shoes to try to see and feel things the way they do.
In order to be loved by them, you need to love them enough to be willing to try to understand them, to leave your
masculine pedestal and descend to the depth of the female psyche. Dont worry; dont be afraid; Im not going to let you
get lost there... Im holding your hand, and Ill be your guide.
Im the Lover of all lovers, and I can teach you a lot about women that you dont know, but youve got to show some
interest and do the part you can do, so I in return can do what you cant and fill in the blanks, or whisper in your ears what
you dont find in the textbooks.
Many men simply dont care enough to want to understand.
Finding out what women want could improve life on planet Earth a whole lot. (I:301)

This in love type of love is a selfish form of love, its wanting another person, its not really giving. It falls more into the
domain of Lust and its motto, I love me and I want you! Thats basically what most of the World is mistakenly seeing as
love, but its not always real love, although I can use these kind of feelings sometimes to bring about My will in a persons
life.
Many people in the World have an in-built, automatic defense mechanism against other peoples in love feelings, and
they often become cold, harsh and unloving towards those who are in love with them, resulting in unrequited love, one of
the great and sad mysteries of life. The answer is rooted in the secret of true love: not looking and waiting for someone to
660
love you and make you happy, but going out and finding someone else to love and make happy. Once you do this and
apply and give love yourself, you also become more attractive to those you want to love you.
Before the position of your heart is right, it acts like the wrong pole of a magnet: it pushes people away. This feeling of I
want you! often has the opposite of the desired effect. But once your heart is truly turned toward Me and you allow Me to
love others through you, they become attracted to you, too. (I:333)

Dont only listen to the words of their mouths, but try to hear the unspoken words of their hearts! Learn the secret
language of what they really mean to say.
Many people only act in a superficial manner because they are afraid to show their true, inner self. Listen harder. And look
deep into their hearts, deeply into their eyes and let Me reveal to you their thoughts, their desires, their fears, their dreams
and heartaches. (I:367)

It is human nature only to want to spend time with those you look up to, those you admire and think are cool. But I have
ordained it thus that in order to truly enrich oneself, theyve got to give to those who are weaker: those who look lower or
baser in your eyes, those you naturally dont feel inclined to spend so much time with.
Everybody wants to hang with the rich, the strong, the beautiful, thats just human nature, so that they can benefit from
those qualities of these privileged somehow. But the way to become truly rich, strong and beautiful yourself - in spirit - is
not by spending time only with those who already have those qualities, but by stooping down to help and lift up those who
are looking up to you.
Look not only at what you can get from others, those you look up to, but look also at what you can give to others, to those
who look up to you, and who need you. Focus on the children, the sheep, the needy.
I want you to become like a river. Where does a river flow? It doesnt flow to the high places, it flows to the low places. To
those who have not, those who are parched and dry and thirsty and yearn and thirst for you and what youve got to give.
So, your focus has just been a little bit too much on the high regions, which dont really need what youve got to give that
much. Give not to those you would like to receive from, but to those who are willing to receive from you.
Look not only up at the high and mighty, but look down on the low and downtrodden and discover the excitement of being
needed - not by those you want to need you, but those who need you already.
In order to find people who look up to you, you must not seek those who are attractive to you, but those who are
unattractive, humble, lowly, those who apparently have got nothing to give in return. You never know what unexpected
rewards might come to you through unselfishly giving to and loving someone you might consider unlovely... Focus on the
need of others and the needy, and I will richly repay.
Do your utmost possible to treat people with an equal amount of respect, courtesy and love, paying attention to the
younger as to the older, the handsome and the ugly, the weak as much as to the strong, to the poor and needy as much as
to the rich and wealthy, and soon youll see that there isnt even such a vast difference between them. Those who you
expected a lot from might turn out to be a disappointment, whereas those of whom you would have expected nothing or
little might pleasantly surprise you. (I:379)

I'm trying to get you to have positive faith in people, or at least in My power to change people, and not give up on them
prematurely. Have faith in the people I've put by your side, faith that sees what no one else can see, "the good and
possibilities that others cannot see."
I will pray for you, that your faith for them will not fail, and your love for them will not fail.
You don't want to spoil them, and you figure they should learn to manage to function and operate properly, regardless of
circumstances. But people don't "function and operate" like machines, they actually need that little human ingredient
called love to "function" properly! (I:414)

Physical relationships, marriages, families, etc., have all proven to be more fragile and subject to time than ever before.
The reason for this is that the lasting values that used to strengthen relationships before have been removed from them,
and those are precisely the spiritual ingredients I want you to help people to re-discover.
People don't even know anymore how to find the right partners because they are so conditioned by the System to look for
superficial qualities in partners, and they're making physical things the most important requirements, instead of ensuring
first of all that the spiritual foundation is there, which includes being the right kind of partner, not just finding the right one.
(I:427)

Don't expect more of others than you would of yourself! You know others have done it to you, and you have done it to
others, so, keep that in mind, it's a good and important lesson!
It's a typical human weakness to overrate yourself and to see your own state through rose-colored glasses, while very
easily seeing the faults of others. If you see a fault in somebody else, the first thing you should to is ask Me, "Lord, am I
like that, too? Do I have that same weakness also?" Because, if I let nothing happen to you without a reason, chances are
that I want to show you something, and one way to reveal to you ugly qualities about yourself that you're not aware of is by
bringing them into your face by others. (I:448)

I give everyone multiple chances, and I want you to learn likewise, to have patience with others and learn better how to
handle their flaws. (I:455)

I use people to make people, to shape people, to influence people and change people. People are some of My favorite tools
and instruments. There's nothing like people to affect or change or even make people. What they will become, mostly

661
depends on their own choices, and last not least, the influences they get from other people. People make people, in more
ways than one. (I:468)

You've got to learn to love folks even with their mistakes! "Love the sinner and hate the sin" doesn't really mean, "Sure, I'll
love the sinner. As soon as he gets rid of the sin!" Imagine if that was My attitude! No, loving the sinner means loving them
in spite of their sin and patiently helping them to overcome their sin and having the faith that they will eventually manage
to do so by My grace!
When you look at people, what I want you to see is somebody I love. The way to not motivate somebody is to think of them
as somebody who "doesn't look like they're going to make it" or whatever drawer you feel you've got to put them in! If you
want people to stop putting you into drawers, you've got to stop that habit yourself first of all!
Give people a chance! And give Me a chance to touch them, to work in them, to bring about a change. It's never too late for
that change.
Never ever give up on anyone prematurely. Never condemn them or judge them in your heart for not making progress fast
enough! Never condemn them for their weaknesses! (I:469)

You're prone to avoid unpleasant subjects, trying to avoid unpleasant confrontations, when it's simply part of love to bring
up those subjects at times, for the sake of greater honesty, openness and humility. It also shows that you have greater
faith in each other, that you believe it's not going to make the other one stumble, if you bring this up now. It teaches you
consideration, tact and responsibility in your conversation, because you will be prayerful about your choice of words, in
order not to offend the one you'll be talking to. This is all practicing and acting out My Law of Love, whereas if you don't do
these things, you'll simply stagnate and never make any uphill progress. No communication, no advancement, all for fear
of touching the unpleasant subjects... (I:486)

It's all a matter of focus, like Pollyanna said: "If you look for the bad in people, you're going to find it." The trick is to look
at the good and focus on the good, which, in essence, means to focus on Me in each of you, the hope of glory. It's having
faith for each other, faith that looks not so much at what you or they are, but what by the grace of God someday you're all
going to be. That's seeing the spiritual man or woman in each other, as opposed to seeing only the flesh, and that's where
having a spiritual relationship starts.
Sometimes familiarity can really kill it. You live with someone for years and you're so familiar with all their faults and you
lose faith that they could actually be used by Me in some mighty or special way. You lose interest in whatever they're
getting from Me, just because you know the vessel so well, you figure, "Well, what's in there couldn't be much better than
what I already know of his outside." Wrong. You have incredible treasures in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be manifest as clearly being Mine and not your own. (I:516)

Learning together to focus on the spiritual part of your relationship, and making Me the center and golden middle of it, is
what will salvage your being a team for Me. I'm really your only hope. You're going to have to live this relationship in the
spirit, with Me being the Center of it, and the top priority in both your hearts and lives, otherwise it can't work. So, let it
grow.
How can you let it grow and cultivate a spiritual relationship? By sharing with each other what you experience in the spirit,
the things I'm teaching and revealing to each of you.
You will have to make the choice whether you're going to see each other in the flesh or in the spirit. It is the spirit that
quickeneth - brings life - the flesh profiteth nothing - it's no good. So, work on seeing each other in the spirit. I didn't say,
work on the other to help them see you in the spirit, but work on seeing the other in the spirit.
Just make sure you're getting the point of what I'm trying to get across to you, and you'll see, I'll take care of the other one,
you won't even need to do much except pray for them, and just focus on Me and do and say and share what I'm showing
you to. (I:517)

I'm teaching you to learn to love each other to the point where you're willing to lay down your life for the other, in spite of
whatever flaws or imperfections each may have, by learning to see them through the eyes of the spirit and My eyes of love!
(I:522)

In order to enhance you, upgrade and improve you and transform you into the state of greater strength you want to attain, I
might do it through a lower, baser and humbler road of having you merge with others. It's hard work, having to roll up your
sleeves and working in the mire of inter-human relationships, where sin rubs against sin, flaw against flaw, and
imperfections meet their mates and counterparts.
This is the inevitable road of humanity: that of having to learn from and with each other. There are times of solitude when I
just seclude you unto Me and hold you close to My breast and nourish you, just tuning in to you and your needs alone, but
there are also those times when I require you to humble yourself and get down to the nitty-gritty of having to deal with
other humans' weaknesses, the confrontation of their handling your weaknesses and differences of opinion. Climbing the
mountain of this life consists in overcoming those differences and sometimes seemingly insurmountable obstacles of
qualities you spot in each other you just don't feel you're able to reconcile with. But that's one of My favorite ways I like to
prove My Power, when you say, "I can't! I just can't cope or deal with that," I say, "You can! Just give Me a chance, and I'll
prove it to you!" (I:556)

I want you to be more understanding of your brothers and sisters, to empathize more with them and walk a mile in their
shoes. (I:567)

662
Have faith in them! Have faith in My Power to change them and make them what they're meant to be! (I:568)

Every living soul is a sheer endless source of subjects to talk about, especially since it also gets in touch with endless
amounts of yet other souls, and each of these encounters and constellations forms a different picture, endless
opportunities, and so many things to find out. (I:578)

Concern for others is a key to your own liberation. (II:34)

I want your marriage to be a type of My marriage to you, and there is no way you could hide things from Me, so be honest.
(II:102)

How much are you able to cope with others in spite of their faults?
Blessed are those who see the good and possibilities others can't see and who can just accept and love people the way
they are... (II:106)

If you want to be liked and loved, you better find ways to see the good in others, so that you will learn to like them and to
love them in spite of their flaws, so that they, in turn will learn to like and love you in spite of yours. If you put up with
theirs, they'll put up with yours!
But if you continually judge them in your mind and label them and put them in all kinds of boxes and drawers, be sure that
they'll find equivalent labels and boxes for you, too, simply as a matter of self-defense. (II:116)

One thing is putting people in boxes, labeling them and being unwilling to expect them to change. Another thing is, having
the faith that they're going to change and give them a piece of advice that has turned out to be helpful in your own life and
shown you where some of your own pitfalls were, as a tool and aid to help them make that change. (II:117)

I'm happy you're becoming aware of the need to find out more about people - the most interesting "things" I ever made. I'm
glad you're overcoming your fears of them because you're getting to know what lies behind their actions, and you're
maturing into a state where you will be able to help people instead of considering yourself their victim.
Often they're just victims of their own ignorance, of nobody telling them any better, victims of the lies they've been told
and of a lack of the truth. And one has to be careful to give somebody the light who's been in darkness for so long, they
often react adversely to it. Their adverse reactions have scared you in the past, but I'm teaching you to overcome those
fears. It's a process of your own healing in order for you to be able to heal others.
Praying for them is laying the ground work, and getting done those things you're powerless to do! (II:120)

I want your relationship and marriage to be one where you really don't have to hide anything from each other.
Find out how much power two people can really develop when there are absolutely no secrets between them! Nothing to
hide! (II:131)

When somebody's going through an extreme fight, that's the time to stop talking and join in their fight in prayer and a
sober attitude and a vigilant spirit!
When somebody is going through serious trials, nothing will help them as much as your taking on a serious and sober
attitude as well, showing solidarity, genuine concern and that you're fighting alongside them in spirit! (II:134)

Role reversal is part of My scheme to teach people to walk a mile in the other one's shoes. (II:145)

Everybody in the world can love the person they're emotionally attracted to, they have a crush on or are in love with. But
learning how to love unselfishly, for My sake and for the glory of My kingdom is a whole different ball game!
You're actually learning to become each other's servants for My sake, for My Kingdom's sake, for the sake of the souls
you're winning together by becoming a frutiful team!
And instead of being all enwrapped in your emotions for each other, too busy to care about Me and My affairs, you're each
learning to put Me first in your lives, to let Me be the one to fill that greatest yearning for utter love, and I will honor this.
(II:156)

You're supposed to learn from each other by accepting each other's ways and views, opening each other's lives and hearts
to each other. This is what a real marriage is all about.
Learn to communicate with My help! I'm the Center, the Hub, and you're coming together over Me. I'm the central exchange
point of well-working communication between you, and without Me, you can't do anything, not even communicate!
But if you focus on Me and keep your faces turned toward Me, I will be the One Who unites you, Who will interpret what the
other one is really saying. I will show her your heart, when all that comes out of your mouth is just head and directed by
the mind and your reason. And likewise, I can help you understand what her often unclear "heart-language" means in your
language.
You need to really be there, in a tangible way, tangible to her sixth sense, that intuition I gave women. If you're not, the
devil will try to fill that void with his input.
in order for her little world to be in order, she needs to know and be sure that you love her, so you've got to make sure she
knows, the best you can.
Take more time to express love in those little ways that are so important to woman! Look for opportunities to do that, make
it more of a priority and something important to you. Learn it!
663
What's there to do that's so much more important than letting the person closest to you know that you love her? (II:169)

Harmony can be obtained by keeping the code of conduct that is appropriate for My children: a code that prefers the
others' welfare over their own and that will do everything in one's power to avoid causing the other's discomfort on your
own behalf. If the others' welfare is actually more important to you than your own, you'll simply conduct yourself in a
manner that will always try to make sure that you are making things alright for them.
Your whole attitude is geared toward them instead of your own needs and desires. It means to lick selfishness and to put
your whole self on the backburner for the sake of others.
If you haven't been willing to lay down your life everyday in the little things and ways for others, if you constantly prefer
your own welfare and consider your own well-being more important than theirs, then you won't be able to lay down your
life for them in a real life and death situation either. It starts today, with the little things.
It means to constantly look out for opportunities to make life a little easier and more pleasant for the others... to seek for
ways to serve each other. It really makes life more enjoyable. So many have lost and forgotten that art, mostly due to
familiarity. As soon as they notice an unpleasant quality in someone they often figure, "Oh, they're so far from perfect, why
should I do them a favor?" Or, "They've got this and that weakness, certainly they're not worthy of me sacrificing anything
of my own resources or efforts for them..." This doesn't happen consciously, but it's often the underlying attitude that's
there.
Whereas the kind of love I want you to have for one another is the kind that is blind to each other's faults, that just keeps
loving unconditionally, that refuses to let the enemy plant any negative thoughts about them in your mind and
automatically casts a veil over any fault or flaw you might detect in them. You make that conscious decision: "No, I refuse
to focus on that flaw in that person." And you can ask Me, "Lord, help me to see them as You do!"
Even if the Devil insists on showing you the bad, "Look here, their flaws, they're obvious, look at them!" You just slam the
door in his face and say, "Get lost, punk!" And you refuse to even look at it. You just make a constant decision to accept
them the way they are, which will also give you the grace to lovingly point out any shortcomings to them without offending
them. You can tell them almost anything you want to, and they'll always feel that your words are spoken in love, if your
attitude behind it is, "Look, I love and accept you the way you are, but the Lord was laying it on my heart that perhaps you
might actually be happier if you were more considerate of this or that fact..." If you really love a person, you can find ways
to even point out their shortcomings to them without causing them hurt or offense. The trick is not to focus on the
weakness but on the person and how wonderful they really are, or even if they're not and they've got a lot to work on, how
wonderful they could become by My grace, if only shown enough unconditional love, and that you have faith in them in
spite of anything.
Your attitude must be, "Even if you're never going to get the victory over that weakness, I will love you just the same. But if
you want, I can help you overcome your weakness and maybe we can overcome it with united efforts..."
But you must never let another's weakness affect your love for them. You must keep it unconditional. That's superhuman
love, but it's the kind of love available to you by My Spirit!
So, when you see a need, when you see some flaw in someone that needs an infusion of My love and Spirit, don't make the
mistake of shutting up your bowels of compassion and turning off your own light to them! Just turn it on and let it shine all
the more brightly in spite of that flaw, in spite of that darkness until you've ignited them, too. Just keep shining on in spite
of anything! That's your royal duty toward one another! My followers owe it to each other to love each other. (II:176)

To love others, according to My standards, doesn't mean to do all you can to please them so that you can be sure they'll
love you, but to do the things that I tell and show you they will need the most.
The only hope you have is to stick close to Me and get your instructions from Me about what I want you to give to those
around you, how I want you to manifest to them My love and My idea of love. (II:184)

You've got to learn to handle a two-people relationship before you can learn how to deal with more. Never underestimate
the power of two or three gathered together in My name.
If you can't even get a little two-person relationship into sync and in tune, how can you expect to get in sync with the entire
universe?
Start off with (a bite on) something you can actually chew.
If you can't lay down your life for this one, who's to guarantee that you'll ever be able to do so for anyone? (II:194)

Put yourself in the others shoes, as St. Francis prayed, to seek to understand, more than to be understood!
When it comes down to it, the main gist of the problem with humanity - or the problems humans have amongst each other -
lies with the fact that everybody is much too interested in their own opinion and point of view than to attentively listen to
that of another. They're not really open enough to see the other side...
For most people it simply takes an effort too great than they're willing to make, to really listen to and absorb the other,
different perspective than their own, and that's quite sad. (II:212)

I'm trying to teach you greater understanding for others and their weaknesses, through the knowledge that nobody's
perfect and everybody's vulnerable, and under the given circumstances it could have even happened to you. I'm hoping to
enhance your compassion for others, your love and understanding. (II:214)

If they think you don't care, show them that you do care!
Be sufficiently mature to not just do the "natural" thing, but the supernatural: to forgive and forget, and to understand.
You've got to come down to people's level, if you want to reach them! (II:240)

664
Friendship, love and investing personal time into your relationships with people is proving to be more fruitful than
ambition and zeal to accomplish great things for Me. I wasn't as much of an "accomplisher" type as I was a Friend to
people, hearing them out, visiting them, caring for them, healing them, helping them. Being a helper is what it's all about.
By showing that you don't consider your time too important to invest in them, you show that you really love and care about
them, you don't just want to use them.
In what better way can you live and manifest love than by being a help to them in their time of need?
It should come natural to you! It doesn't always have to be a big disaster making headlines, that would require your help.
Recognize when there is a needy situation that requires rolling up your sleeves and pitching in and show the world (or
sometimes just a single lonely person) what it really means to be a Christian! You can learn much about being a friend to
people, and a helper.
How about just concentrating on being a helper and a friend to people, a kind person? (II:246)

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, Ye have done it unto Me." In taking others in,
you're taking Me in, and in trying to do your best so they'll feel comfortable, youre bestowing that same hospitality on Me.
It's easy to lose sight of that vision once you become familiar with someone and have come to know their weaknesses,
and it gets harder and harder for you to associate them with Me in your mind. Just remember, "one of the least of these,
My brethren!" It's easy to host the noble, the strong, the obviously good, the beautiful, whatever pleasant qualities people
have. But it's always a real test of love to treat one of the least of My brethren, those with faults and mistakes, and
shortcomings, as if it were I.
I will bless the efforts each of you will make to show you're one big Family, not just selfish little families all fending for
themselves.
It's an effort to generate warmth, to shine your light, and to do your best to improve and enhance the situation you're
finding, no matter how gloomy it may seem, according to the gifts and abilities you were given.
Will you resign at the first show of attitudes you don't agree with, or will you make an effort to make a difference?
Only those who have My supernatural love governing their lives can live like My Family. And I'm so proud of each one of
you who dare to be different, who dare to step out beyond the confines of what's comfortable, your natural, selfish
tendencies and preferences!
That's what Family's all about, and I'm so thankful for each of you who are willing to show: "We are a Family! We don't care
to live selfish little lives; we're not afraid to make sacrifices in order to show that we've got enough of the Lord's love to
put up with another's idiosyncrasies and different ways of doing things, etc. We don't mind the different, because we're
open and willing and humble enough to learn from each other and with each other!" (II:295)

To maintain a positive attitude and outlook toward people that tend to strike you negatively or give you battles and trials is
a very important thing, because so much is determined by the way you see others: your ability to successfully live and
work with them, which will affect your fruitfulness for Me, your unity, your general happiness and outlook on life, as well as
theirs. (II:297)

You're having a tough time with people? Welcome to the club! The tough times are what it's all about! It's not the easy and
smooth times that make you stronger!
Turn on your forgiveness power and cast that veil over a multitude of sins!
Just because you can only see the one side, the negative, doesn't mean that the positive isn't there.
The real problem is that you get rubbed the wrong way so easily, that you're so easily irritated and appalled by others'
behavior. That's a bigger problem in itself than their actual misbehavior! (II:298)

To want to show off just makes others feel bad and inferior and causes unnecessary trials.
Don't forget to tune in to others and let them shine as well, to support them in the spirit and in deed, to stay humble, to not
put them down, but actually prefer their happiness to your own and esteem them higher than yourself... (II:308)

I send across your path people that rub you the wrong way; there's friction. Friction is good to rub off the rough edges on
both sides. (II:310)

Personal relationships and getting along with people is one of the major categories in the school of life, with a variety in
possible scenarios just about as numerous as the amount of combinations of people... a never ending adventure.
Everybody has been affected by the curse, and the only thing you can really expect from folks on Earth is imperfection,
knowing that they will one day be perfect, but that probably won't happen during their life-time on Earth. (II:314)

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 and let Me deal with it on My terms!
It's no use, taking the rod of wrath into your own hands and to lash out words of anger, just commit it to Me! (II:316)

When you can each stand up for your individual needs and convictions, even your feelings of what you think is the right
thing to do, without having to be afraid of what the others think, when you can freely communicate without fears, when
there is harmony, mutual respect, and My Spirit can flow from each of you to the other, as it does from Me to each of you (-
the shape of the cross: the vertical beam signifying My connection with you, and the horizontal standing for your

665
interaction with each other-), then the world will also see and get the message of the cross, for they will see My love at
work in you (Jn.13:35). (II:328)

There were moments when I was tempted to not believe in My disciples. But the Father reassured Me that they were going
to pull through somehow.
You must make an effort to view people more positively, and you must allow yourself to be more vulnerable and risk
getting hurt, and not automatically shield yourself from any possible future disappointment!
You've got to respect their majesty of choice, knowing that I haven't ordained you all to take the same path! Everyone can
be a part of the Family, each walking a different path. That's the way it's supposed to be. So, don't be disappointed when
someone slips or falls. It's only natural.
Stretch your vision, your faith, your level of tolerance a little more in your relations with others by making more room for
your fellowman to fall, to sin and fail, just as you have, with the same right to grace and mercy that you have enjoyed,
without judging them or losing faith in them. Keep the faith in people!
If nothing else, expand your faith in Me, that I knew what I was doing when I created them, just as I knew what I did when I
created you, including all your faults and failures! (II:329)

One of the greatest needs of human beings, including children, is to feel needed, to feel wanted, to feel as an important
part of their families; not a burden, but a blessing.
If even I couldn't do much in places where people's unbelief hindered Me, and if what saved the blind man was actually his
faith in Me (Lk.18:42), his need for Me, his desire for Me; if even I needed to be believed in, to be needed and wanted in order
to fully perform My best, then how much more do you all need that?
I and you aren't all that different; if I needed to be believed in, then your fellow servants need it, too, and you owe it to
them, to believe in them, to need them, to depend on them, just like you owe it to Me, for that is part of the great
Commandment and the Law of love! While I don't want you to make a god out of someone else, it still is your duty to love
others, and you can't really do that if you don't believe in them. Everything you do to Me, do it also to them! Everything you
do to them, you're doing to Me! If you believe in them, if you show them that you need them, if you show them that you
want them, that you trust them and trust that they won't let you down, then you're showing that to Me, also.
I'm not talking about having unrealistic expectations of people, I'm just talking about having a little bit of faith in them.
(II:339)

Only by finding union with Me will you have enough to give to another person in order to keep a relationship going. (II:345)

Listen more, hear more, learn more! Read between the lines; what is that which he's saying actually saying? What is that
saying about him?
Not with the intention to criticize, but in order to help people; you need to find out what their problem is, and then you can
pray for their problem as I reveal it to you, and for a way you might help them to see it without offending or hurting them,
to make them see the truth tactfully and lovingly. (II:356)

I'd rather have your marriage be a disaster and full of problems, so that you both continually have to seek My face about it,
even about making it further down the road together one more day, than have it be the other way around, where things flow
so smoothly that you feel like you won't need Me anymore! Now, that would be truly the worst that could happen to you!
The reason why I allow misunderstandings to occur between you, that allow the lies of the enemy to enter in, along with
sensitivity and pride, is the same reason why I allow these things to come into any person's life in the first place: to keep
you desperate and close to Me, to keep you dependent on Me! The devil is My sheepdog, continuously snapping at your
heels and being a pain in your butts, so to speak, in order to make sure you don't feel too comfortable in your cozy little
lives, don't start feeling at home in that world, which is not your Home, and to keep you close to Me. (II:366)

A real, true and deep relationship cannot come to pass without total and utter trust. Without total trust it won't work. (II:377)

Keep a positive outlook on people! Keep believing in them and show them you do! (II:399)

Relationship is mutual give and take; you're just grateful for each other. It is like that with Me and you, too. (II:421)

The next step after proving you really believe in Me is proving that you believe in what I'm doing in your fellowmen and
believe in them, also.
Who says someone has to be perfect in order to believe in them?
You can even believe in the worst sinner out there. I believed in him enough to die for him, so you can believe in him, too,
that eventually, I'm going to see him through to the point where he can see clearly, too, what it's all about.
Some take advantage of this great mercy and forgiveness, but you've got to believe in them, anyway. You've got to believe
that every iniquity is going to be purged, and someday it's all going to be okay. (II:452)

The devil would love to get you to stop believing in each other. But if I believe in someone, then you can believe in them,
too; or if you can't, at least you can believe Me for them, that I will help them make it. And you can help Me help them make
it by praying for them.
Have a little faith in them. - Even if they fail or lag behind.
Get excited with others, about whatever they happen to get excited about.
People will start sharing your excitement once you show that you're making an effort to share theirs.
666
Coolness is the refusal to show participation, to be willing to get excited with someone else.
Love equals the ability to show you share their excitement, instead of quenching it with the usual indifference and
"coolness."
Sharing excitement is an important ingredient and way of showing love. Share the excitement! Share the joy!
Don't just remain "cool" or indifferent, but get excited. Spread some fire! (II:465)

You just have to take people for what they are. They're each different. None of them are the same, like pebbles: the variety
is incredible and endless. No two rocks are the same.
You look at them and enjoy them, absorb them, their shape, the way they're made, and you just accept them the way they
are, even if some of them seem to have some rough edges that can even hurt you, or some ugly side, maybe some slime or
mud at the bottom that needs to be washed off. They're still just another pebble, like you are, and all together you form the
river bed through which My mighty river of life-giving waters can flow; My conduits to bring life to the world. (II:468)

If you can't see the good qualities in others, then you're in pretty bad shape, because love sees the good in others, and if
you can't, it means that your eyes of love are nearly blind; your ability to love is nearly nil, which means that you don't
possess any of what I call real strength. (II:484)

You have the choice, to either let it bother you or not. That's Satan exposed right there, because he makes you think you're
a "prisoner," a captive of those mistakes and flaws of others, that you're going to have to deal with and 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 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!
The Devil magnifies and super-imposes others' weaknesses in your mind, makes them look bigger than they sometimes
really are, when all the while you can choose whether you'll allow them to affect you or not; which means, if you make that
choice, you won't even look at them, certainly not focus on them and be so obsessed by that image that you hardly get
along with that person or let it affect your interaction with them.
You can choose to rise above not only your own weaknesses, but also those of others, simply by not allowing them to
affect you adversely. It's not the same as simply ignoring them; it's a supernatural act, because it requires a miracle of My
love. Love's power is so prevalent, that anything about any person which might be disliked by another is simply
"overshadowed" and made invisible, annihilated by it. (II:499)

There will always - in this world - be frictions within families, for various reasons. But real love, loyalty and faithfulness
doesn't just stick around as long as you need the ones you love, but even long after that, simply in gratitude for what you
have received when you were in need, and so that you can return some of the love that you're in a position to give, even if
it requires some sacrifice.
It all depends on you and your maturity, whether you allow your real Enemy to convert your brethren into your enemies in
your mind!
If, instead of resisting and rejecting the pain and pressure, you receive and embrace and welcome it, then you'll really
learn something, and will get to know things you will never know otherwise! That's where wisdom comes from. The
alternative is only the typical and usual game of playing the rejected and misunderstood victim. With My help and counsel
you can understand, and pray, "Help me to seek to understand, not to be understood." Then you won't care about whether
you're misunderstood or not.
You should also not be concerned about whether or to what extent you're being rejected by others, but how much do you
reject and resent them?
You say you have legitimate reasons for your feelings of rejection, but everybody thinks that. "If he weren't so-and-so,
there wouldn't be a problem..." But maturity is not expecting others to be flawless and perfect, but accepting and loving
them anyway.
Welcome to the dimension of love unconditional!
Once you meet them on the level of unconditional love and acceptance, find out what wonders that kind of love can do!
(II:511)

A desire to be popular, to please "everybody" and live up to "their" expectations... is a trick of the devil to get you to chase
some kind of ghost instead of dealing with those who are closest to you the mystery behind the phenomenon that
people always tend to treat those worst who are closest to them.
The people you're trying to please are often only an image that he and his demonic voices are making you believe in.
Instead, start dealing with, caring for and interacting with the real individuals right there by your side, in your house, on
your street, in your own village, town, etc.
Because many people are so influenced by this scheme, they're often not really "themselves," either, and you first have to
get through to their true selves. Don't judge anybody unless you've had a chance to hear them out.
667
The Devil doesn't want to give anybody a chance. He'd like to prosecute them, sentence them, judge and execute them all.
His input on anyone is about as bleak as it can get. Come to Me for input on what's there to love about each individual;
their good sides and untapped potential, "the good and possibilities that others cannot see." (II:517)

You've got to not only listen to Me, but also to each other! Take the time to tune in to each other! Take the time to meditate
on what the other one is going through, to pray for each other, and there'll be so much more understanding between you.
A marriage is a type and symbol of My relationship with you: just as I constantly draw you closer to Me, teaching you
lessons and urging you to make progress and grow, so you can and should also do the same within your marriage! "There
is no standing still! - You're either going forward or backwards." You're either getting closer to each other or drifting
further apart. Often couples simply drift apart because they've lost the vision - they can't see any areas in which they could
still be making progress and grow together, when they haven't even yet begun to see!
Sometimes the secret of love between two parties is in realizing just how much they need each other.
I am the link between you. It's not going to work without Me.
With Me, there's no way that this isn't gonna work, no matter how different you may be or think you may be!
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!
All differences, quarrels, flaws and imperfections are really just temporal. In your eternal state, all those differences aren't
there at all. Walk a step toward eternity and accept each other. Absorb each other, assimilate each other and become one
as you are already one in My eyes. It's going to help you become that which I know you already are. Maybe you simply
haven't believed it yet... (II:518)

It's part of life to be confronted with your weaknesses through relationships in a more intense way than you ever could on
your own.
When it's time to confront, it's time to confront, and you can't just "let it be" in that case and let it drag on and become a
monster or mountain. Confront it while it's still okay and sizeable and you can deal with it without having to cause any
major pain! Confront it while it's little, and overcome your fears of confrontation! (II:531)

You're very "people-sensitive;" sensitive to what they might want or expect from you, and the Enemy even makes you
sensitive to what you think they might be thinking about you.
The more you're around people, the more distracted you become. You think when you're together you can just be on a
more shallow wavelength, you put on a show or let the comedian hang out. People hardly ever have the guts to be truly
themselves in front of others. That's sad.
I'm trying to teach you the art of just being yourself in whatever situation. It's not necessary to pretend to be someone
else, to put on an act, a show, a mask.
You can't really say you're mature or really grown up until you're able to just be you in front of others without pretenses.
You need to find out who you really are and then find the courage to be that person in front of others, too, without cover-
ups. (II:536)

Only I see the whole "elephant." The biggest mistake you can possibly make is to assume that your view and Mine are
always identical. So, why not ask Me to show you the other sides of the elephant before you're going to open your mouth?
That's what putting yourself in others' shoes means: come and see the elephant from their angle. And one by one, if you
come over to their side and touch and feel what they do, you're going to get a picture that coincides a lot more with Mine
than your original view, which you were convinced was the only right one...
Maybe what's wrong is not so much the other person's "wrongness" or lack of whatever, but just your own present angle
and point of view of things. Maybe you're sitting in front of the wrong part of the elephant, an ugly part of him, and that's
what determines your perception of reality right now. Move over to the other fellow's side and touch, feel and see as he
does. Put yourself in their shoes. It's not only you singing, "Walk a mile in my shoes," but it's the others singing it, too.
Just like you're inviting them to walk in your shoes, they're also inviting you to walk in theirs, and there's a lot of shoes to
walk in, a lot of viewpoints to share and angles from which to see things... a whole lot of elephant to explore and discover.
(II:538)

Changes in relationships, including separations, come more often from My hand than the enemy. It's more often than not a
blessing, which brings positive changes into the separating individuals' lives, freeing them from the chains of former
habits and ruts.
If you're having serious long-standing problems in your relationship and serious doubts about it - doubts about the
authenticity of the motivations that hold it together, then you should certainly be brave enough to seriously consider a
separation and at least talk and pray about it. (II:561)

Friends are those who take time to be and make friends. Even if it means sacrificing some of the time you'd ideally invest
in the things you consider most important.
If I can even cause you to learn from the things that are behind, how much more would I like you to learn from the things -
and especially the people - on your left and right?
I mean for you to include and embrace them all, the entire scope, circle and spectrum of what surrounds you, and by doing
so, embracing Me even in the least of these, your brethren.

668
Try to be understanding, even if you don't understand. All you need to understand is that I love them, and so should you.
You can love them; it's okay to love them, and you should love them. Why wait for everyone to be perfect before you're
going to love them? (II:580)

I made people in My own image, and one of My qualities is that I like to surprise you, and it's a quality I have passed on to
My children: the ability to surprise you and come up with qualities about them you wouldn't have expected, the ability to
touch your heart and become more valuable to you than you ever might have expected. The treasure chest at the end of
the rainbow is quite often discovered right at home in the very heart of someone you might have taken for granted. That's
the kind of surprises I like to make: You can travel the whole wide world in search of your treasure, and then you return
tired and weary and find it right at home, where it was hidden right before your very eyes all along...
It boils down to the discovery that loving your neighbor as thyself and loving Me with all your heart and might, those two
great commandments, aren't really 2 separate things, but can virtually wind up being one and the same thing, which is why
I said, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me." And one of My greatest ways of
conveying My love to you is through another human being, so, it can easily be that you're going to find Me right there, in
the heart of another person. (II:593)

Seeing Me in someone in spite of their flaws is a big lesson I'm trying to teach you. If you're not willing to put up with or
confront their flaws, how are you ever going to die for them, if you can't even stand to live with them? (II:631)

Only if you sow into peoples lives can you reap from them the fruit of their friendship! (II:651)

While with some acquaintances and friendships the mind can be helpful, it is the heart, not the mind that will draw them to
you. It is the Spirit that will thrill their hearts and minds and refresh and quench their weary and thirsty souls, not so much
the input that comes of the mind. (II:656)

The art of seeing Me in others is the art of believing that in that imperfection, that momentary ugliness of the caterpillar or
cocoon, there's a higher purpose and a greater beauty hidden than meets the eye, that shall be revealed with time. The
lesson could be entitled "Wait and See!" Wait and see what I'm still going to do, what that ugly duckling is still destined to
become! Wait to see the final outcome before you judge or make up your mind about someone and before you stick them
in your mental drawers or label them.
There's something fundamental you have in common with any of your brothers and sisters, no matter how different you
are at the time being, and it should help you focus more on that common goal than any differences or difficulties in getting
along.
It should help give you an incentive to break the ice and show greater acceptance, greater understanding of them and what
they're going through, knowing that I will change them in time, as I have changed you.
You've got to find some common ground with them in order to help them, in order to save them. (III:23)

You can't expect people to be perfect, nor anywhere near perfect, nor should you hinge your love on them living up to your
expectations.
Stop charging a price that they could never pay! Stop demanding something they could never fulfill or live up to. You're
humanly not strong enough to fulfill any such expectations yourself, so how can you make those demands on anybody
else? Why not just accept everybody for who they are?
If you decide to wholeheartedly listen, you will also find a way to bring Me into the conversation. But you're not always
willing to forsake all and follow Me on the spot into the heart of that person.
That's not how you're going to convince them that you love them with a love that is ready to lay down your life for them!
That's no way they're ever going to believe it, no way to strengthen their faith in your love for them. But you should.
Is your love strong and unconditional enough to show them that they're more important to you than whatever you were
doing?
As long as what you're doing is not immediately involved with the salvation of another human soul, it couldn't possibly be
more important than hearing those closest to you out and really listening to what they've got to say. Listen to them with My
ears, and you'll also have My words to give back to them as a reply.
Folks around you are never going to be completely convinced that you truly love them, unless you learn to dedicate
yourself to them wholeheartedly, to listen to them as if they were the only thing that mattered at that moment. That's the
way I talked to My disciples, and they knew that what I had to say mattered. (III:26)

Seeking first the Kingdom: What is the Kingdom? What does it consist of? People! First of all, look after My people, and
I'm going to look after you! (III:27)

Loving your neighbor as yourself requires some skill. It requires some effort. It takes something, and you've got to put
something into it, it costs something. It costs something to find out what makes a person tic, and how to solve a problem.
That's the challenge of love. (III:35)

If you think you're going to find the answer and all you're seeking, in any group of flesh and blood people, you're wrong!
You will always find some flaws anywhere, with anyone, in this world. If you want the flawless, turn to Me! (III:41)

Learn to focus on their very inner being, their inner core and soul! Learn to behold the flame, the candle of their inner
sanctuary, that what really makes them burn and tic from the inside.
669
By far the more important to discover and explore is the "inner space" of your fellow human beings.
You're going to have to focus, tune in and zoom in on them, really perceive them, absorb and feel them out, hear them out,
pay attention to them.
Can you blame people for being attention junkies when there's so little they get of that stuff? Everything else seems to be
so much more deserving of attention: making money, shopping, car maintenance, success at work, etc. "And what about
me?" the inner soul of so many cries. "Nobody's paying any attention to me. Am I really not worth anything?"
Judging by the amount of attention some people are willing to pay to their spouses, their children and other loved ones, is
it any wonder that so many think of themselves as absolutely worthless?
So many are literally starving for the love that so few are willing to give to the needy.
The demand is so great, and all the while the devil keeps people busy and distracted with other, really much less relevant
things and activities than to love others.
Focus on people and their needs. Recognize them for what they are, pay attention to them! Give them your time! Give them
your full attention, as if nothing else was more important, and - when it all comes down to it - nothing really is. Because
you can only say in the end that you loved Me as much as you managed to love the least of these, your brethren.
It is a widely spread phenomenon that people think they know another person, even one they're very close to, but in reality
haven't really touched the soul of that person, haven't really perceived the true picture of who that person really is. It is
one of the greatest tragedies of the times.
So few people really touch each other's souls these days.
Look again (= re-spect)! Look deeper! (III:45)

To deal with others teaches you about them and how to handle differences, and, in some extreme case, it teaches you to
love, accept and embrace the totally other. It teaches you flexibility and the ability to consider totally different factors and
angles than you might previously have been aware of. It opens your eyes to totally new views.
The goal is greater understanding and wisdom. It's greater insight into the human heart, and simultaneously, into the heart
of God, as you learn to see the full scope of different angles and possible viewpoints.
You don't need to wonder, "Am I in the wrong film?" because you're never in the wrong film. Sometimes you've merely got
to adjust to the script, the setting and the co-actors. (III:51)

People often demand from each other a degree of perfection that they lack themselves. It's a form of idolatry, because it's
trying to make a god out of something that is no god, namely another human being. Instead of turning to Me as the Source
of hope, strength, love and inspiration, they turn to an empty vessel like themselves, fragile and imperfect, projecting into
them hopes that only I can fulfill.
And thus they create another scapegoat. Someone they can blame for their emptiness, their disappointment, their
unhappiness.
In your efforts to learn to work together you cannot forget that it's you alone who is responsible for your own actions and
choices, your own victory or defeat, because it is I that give the victory, not any other person. It may have been helpful if
the other person would have been strong, wise and quick enough to do the right thing in order to ensure your keeping the
victory, but ultimately, your personal victory does not depend on them, but only on whether your own heart is right with
Me, whether you're truly and fully leaning on Me and trusting in Me, or not. (III:65)

Most folks don't even want to bother to find out how to get along with different people. They'd rather just get into their own
little work, their jobs or their hobbies. But I've made it so that sooner or later, everybody is going to be confronted with
different people, the differences in people, and thus they're forced to at least be confronted with the different view of
things, even if they may not accept it. It is so in order to show people that there is such a thing as a different view and
perspective, and I'm already hinting through that, that they're all going to get a surprise in the end to find out how I have
seen things all along: the totally different view - God's view!
In other words, part of the meaning behind the differences that exist between people and every kind of creature is also a
part of the meaning of life: to simply behold the difference of the other and learn from it, absorb it, register it, test it, prove
it, and if it turns out to be any good, perhaps assimilate it, or at least accept and tolerate it. All that spells growth. And in
the long run, this is one of the major contributing factors to all of you - all of us - growing into One. Simply put, it's love.
(III:81)

No matter how pressing, important or urgent this life's matters seem to be, including all that is involved in a marriage,
relationship or family, for a man of God, the Spirit and the spiritual side of things should still come first. Seeking first My
Kingdom and putting Me in the first place in your lives is still expected of you, even if you have a family.
For most people, their families are actually their top and foremost priorities. There is nothing in their lives that ranks above
them in importance, and thus they have made a god out of their family.
That's why My teachings sometimes come across as shockingly "anti-family." But by destroying the supremacy of little
flesh families, I create a bigger, spiritual Family.
It's not that the family unit doesn't have its place of importance, but it's just not supposed to rank above Me in importance.
(III:115)

Sometimes your marriage seems to stagnate because there seems to be a halt in the process of reaching out to get to
know each other more, as if you both already knew everything there is to know about each other... There is hardly anything
sadder than that.
Just as there will always be more about Me you can find out and discover and get to know, there will also be constantly
new angles and new things you can discover about each other. It doesn't always have to be the same old thing. It takes an
670
effort to dig it up, it takes forsaking some of the old rut, it takes daring to step onto new territory together, that you may not
have been familiar with, previously.
It takes trust, that the direction your partner is leading you, will be a good one, even though you may not be familiar with it.
It takes trust in Me, that when I gave you each other, I didn't give you a serpent or a stone, but good bread to eat, that I
knew what I was doing in creating you for each other and giving you to each other. (III:120)

There will always come a point where your own tolerance level will be stretched by someone even stranger than you, or
stranger than the last "strangest" person you've had to cope with.
It's the "embracing the leper" process in the life of St. Francis and of many true followers of Mine.
Shutting anyone out who doesn't look according to one's own standard simply doesn't live up to what I said about loving
the least of My brethren the way you would love Me.
When you can accept and truly embrace the lowest of the low and let them know you're one of them or they're one of
yours, that you consider that there is no difference between you, but they're equally loved by Me as you are, then you've
become real. (III:123)

Every person is like a country to explore. You may love it or hate it; consider it foreign or your own, but there is always
something to explore. The saddest thing to do is take it for granted. That's what a lot of people do: they never explore their
own countries, they're just interested in far-away lands, and equally, they're not very interested in the people they're
familiar with.
Oh, they may be very patriotic and act as if they don't love any other country as much as theirs, but - how much do they
really know their country - or their loved one? How much time have they really invested in getting to know all there is to
know and to find out about them? (III:124)

You learn even from people who may seem to have much less to give than what you've got. If you're humble enough to be
in a receiving and learning position in relation to anyone you come across, you'll find life in general a much greater
success, when you come to the end of the road, than if you go through it constantly pushing your own thing on others.
It's the art of being open enough to see Me in everybody you come across, even as different from you as they may seem.
The more they differ from you, the greater the challenge. (III:132)

Playing the "victim" is a weapon that many people use to get things their way, but you're not doing yourself or them or
anybody else a favor by giving in to that. Eventually they're not going to get around taking the responsibility themselves
for what's become of their life. Life is what you make it.
Some folks just don't want to be helped, and the best thing you can do for them is let them go and allow Me to teach them
the lessons they need through their experiences. (III:174)

The enemy is having you focus so much on the flaws of others at times that you start to wonder if you're not better off
without them, but I'm here to tell you right now that it isn't so. It may look that way at times, but it isn't really so.
He knows that the only way he can ruin My work which I have begun in you is to use those differences between you, blow
them up way out of proportion and make you feel uncomfortable with anybody else.
But remember that "comfortable" isn't necessarily a quality that indicates My will or direction for you at all. In fact, if
something or someone becomes uncomfortable for you, then chances are that I'm using them to stir you up from your
comfortable rut, which is threatening to lull you to sleep or get you stuck in the way you've done it "for all this time now."
So, have a closer look at those uncomfortable some ones you don't seem to be able to understand and who bring question
marks into your life. Chances are, they're about to be a new revelation for you, introduce another step of progress for you
in your life, one you may have been unable to see previously, but nonetheless vital.
What I'll be mostly using in your life to really rub in life's lessons and drive home the point, is people. (III:202)

You cannot project hopes which can only be fulfilled by Me into a frail human being... You mustn't. Otherwise,
disappointment will be your lot, and your cynicism and skepticism will grow and grow, and make you all the harder to get
along with people.
You must not look with eyes of expectation, but with eyes of readiness to give. You must not be a vacuum, when it comes
to people, but a filler of their vacuums and needs. You must flip from receiving mode (which you're in when you're with Me)
into giving mode when you're with people. You cannot expect from people what only I can give.
Stop regarding other people as sources of inspiration who might minister to you and fill your needs. It's not going to
happen, because I expect you to be receiving that inspiration straight from Me, and instead of expecting additional
inspiration from them, you must pass on what inspiration you get from Me to them. (III:249)

Its relatively easy to be attentive and polite with people that aren't constantly around you. The real acid test comes with
the people you see every day. If you can still really pay attention to them, and show interest in them, no matter what
they've got to say, then you're showing interest and paying attention.
It's no coincidence that "paying" is the thing you must do in order to show or give someone your attention, show you care
and pay them due respect.
It's one of those things that money theoretically can't buy. The sad thing is, a lot of people are being respected more for
their money than for their character or personal attributes. So, showing and paying attention to someone for just being
themselves shows that you don't judge or go by the standards of the world.

671
It would be easy to show them the necessary respect if they were a millionaire or would spout off really wise and educated,
impressive things all day. But what are the attributes that really count, according to My book? Certainly money and brains
are not on the top of My list!
Your general weight as a practicing believer and disciple will be heavily influenced by the score you achieve with those
you're most familiar with.
Theyre the people you spend most of your time with. That shouldn't mean that you owe them the least respect and
attention, but the most.
If I am showing you respect in spite of your problems, then you ought to be paying them respect in spite of theirs. You
cannot just label people for their problems and stop listening to what they've got to say because of them! (III:282)

You can apply Romans 8:31, 32, also to your relationship, to your marriage, and to your relationship with everyone in the
Family as well: You can be persuaded that neither high nor low, no devils nor angels, neither death nor life or anything in
this world will be able to separate you from the love I am giving you for each other, My love in you, which initiates and
fuels the love you have for each other as well. You can determine that you won't let anything rob that flame from you! And
that applies to your relationship with each person that chooses to make that same decision, to let nothing stand between
you and them, that nothing can separate them from My love, which unites you.
It can even apply to your relationship with those who may choose not to make that decision yet. They may choose to shut
you out of their circle of acceptance, but you can draw them into yours. Of course, that may be a little more difficult, but
definitely worth a try. It gives you power to change a person, if you show that you unconditionally forgive and embrace
them and take them for who and what they are, without judging, labeling or condemning them whatsoever.
Refuse to let anything the devil might bring to your mind stand between you. Let any relationship between you and any
brother or sister always be clean-slated, free of grudges, free of anything you might hold against them in the back of your
mind, free of any memories of what they may have done in the past that may have displeased you. Just give them all the
chances necessary to stand before you clean and aright, just as I give you a new clean chance every day.
If you don't hold anything against anyone, then you won't be subjected to that negative force of familiarity, and each
person, no matter for how long you've known them, can stand before you like a new person you meet that you don't know
anything about, none of their weaknesses and hidden sins, etc.
You're going to be able to listen to them without any prejudices, hear them out with genuine anticipation of what they're
about to say, eager to have it contribute to your scope, your picture, your horizon, instead of already dismissing it
beforehand...
Wouldn't you like to be treated that way, too? Wouldn't you love it, too, if people wouldn't hold any of your past failings
against you, or even their own negative notions toward you, and if they would just give you a chance to be accepted within
their circle of tolerance, give you a chance to hear you out and listen to what you've got to say?
I'd say you owe that kind of treatment to each other... (III:283)

"Without Me you can do nothing" also applies to relationships. Those who have tried without Me have had to find out that
they're missing out on the best and most important thing, no matter how wonderful their relationship might be.
Apart from the need to pay attention to others, an attitude of forgiveness and acceptance, trust, and patience, the next
ingredient to making unity work in a relationship is not to neglect Me, My Word, not to take your focus off Me, the Magic
and Power that holds you together, the Initiator of your relationship Who must preserve it and make it last.
I am what you need most desperately in your relationship, and staying focused on Me will guarantee your ability to keep up
with the other requirements as well.
I am the Foundation on which you must build the work of your lives, which also includes your relationships, your families,
your fruits.
If it's only fleeting motivations that drive you, like pleasure, temporary comfort or the fulfilling of your momentary needs
and desires, then your relationship may be just as much subject to time and erosion. The only way you can make sure that
it's going to last is by putting Me first: to make My agenda your common agenda, and not any selfish interests and
pursuits, and to focus on Me, look unto Me and hold on to Me every step of the way as your only Hope of success. (III:285)

Make an effort to tune in to the other's wavelength!

If you feel that you're on a "higher" wavelength than they are, you can try to pull them up to yours. That's what inspiring
others is all about.
But that requires some work, since people naturally won't just snap out of their own familiar wavelength and tune into
yours, especially if they have no clue what your wavelength is all about. In order to get them interested, you have to
"broadcast" and "advertise" a little, and let them know what your "station" is all about. You have to "play some of your
music" in order for them to find out whether they like it or not.
In order to pour out to others, you've got to have a vision for them, and the faith for them, that they will take what you're
going to give them and bring forth fruit with it.
So, if you want others to consider your wavelenth worth tuning in to, then you've got to play happy tunes, and deliver a
sound quality that attracts them, and not play doleful dirges and draggy ho-humm songs.
In order to truly inspire others, you've got to broadcast inspiring and uplifting music.
You've got to gear your music to your audience, not just play for your own edification. You've got to tune into them first
and find out what they need.
Have faith in the people I have placed in your care!
Failure to inspire others is often due to lack of vision and faith to even start broadcasting. You underestimate their
capacities to receive and pass on what you're giving. You figure they're not interested and they're not going to listen
anyway, so why even waste your breath, your time, your energy?
672
Visionaries are those who never consider their time, breath and energy wasted. They're those who have faith in their
audience, and enough faith in Me to believe that nothing happens by coincidence, and if I have put these people there, as
much as they may be on a "different wavelength," then I knew what I was doing, had a sense and purpose in it, and it's
merely up to you to find out what that purpose is by letting loose whatever you've got to pour into them and then see what
happens.
Have a little faith in what I'm doing!
None of the stars and planets in the universe are in their distinct position by coincidence, but they influence each other in
perfectly ordained and synchronized proportions. Don't you think that what I have done with lifeless rock and matter I'm
also able to do with living souls? (III:287)

In My eyes, and according to My system of values, inter-human relationships rank higher in importance than projects by
which you can approve yourself and display your productivity.
I'm not talking about romantic relationships, nor any other "What's in it for me" type of device. I'm talking about "What's in
it for them" focus, and what you can do for others in order to help them to move along and make headway in the School of
Life or just make it through today's battles. (III:288)

Your relationship, your marriage, and your little family are the touchstone of how real you are. Deception stops when it
comes to truly intimate relationship: it's the perfect touchstone and proof of the pudding as to what kind of person you
really are.
Many people have totally different faces when they're out among the crowds, doing their jobs, or in front of their
audiences, etc., but once they're at home, there are a few people there who know who they really are.
If you can't manage to convince your wife and children that you're a nice guy, and if you can't manage to make them happy
and make them laugh every once in a while, then it's probably because you're not a nice guy, period, and you might have
to do some serious work on your character.
You can come across like Gandhi to the outside world, but if at home you're letting little Hitler hang out, then something's
wrong. You're only as real as you are being at home.
Learn to be as real as can be at home, so you won't have to put on any act when you go out. Just be you - the same old
you - wherever you are: the same one when you're at home as when you're before a crowd. (III:295)

Sometimes familiarity between people is the very factor that most hinders anyone from becoming a new creature. They
would like to become one, but the other person won't let them because they continue to see the old man, the person they
used to be, in them. (III:312)

You need to make room for others in your life. You have to clear out some of the clutter, some of the things your self is
occupied with most of the time, so that there will be more space to absorb them.
Without making room for them in your life, they will just become more alienated from you, because they will feel that they
will have to establish their own little world, full of their own little things, because there was no more room in your world for
them, or at least not sufficient...
When the barns of your soul are so full of clutter that there's not enough room to house others in there anymore, then it's
time to get rid of some of the clutter.
It's like a full hand without capacity to receive more, but if you let go of what's in your hand, another hand can comfortably
fit into it. (III:315)

Learn to value people just for being people, and not for whatever they may be able to do for you... (III:338)

One of the big lessons is the importance of little things, such as establishing a good, solid and loving relationship on the
smallest level, first of all.
The enemy tries to distract you with "more important things" in order to get your focus off of this greatest mystery of all,
so close to home. He's trying to get you to focus outwardly in a wrong way: some "out there" distant glorious future of
usefulness, glory and honor, when My way of focusing outwardly is something a lot more down to earth: on a level of
personal relationships.
Its all about communication, tuning in to each other, being considerate of each other, each other's needs, and being of a
helpful attitude toward each other. (III:340)

Skepticism toward people stems from putting too much hope in them initially, and then when they let you down, you
figure, "I should have known better," and your outlook on people has grown another shade dimmer and darker.
What you need to do is see Me in others, and hope and pray that they'll see Me in you, too. Come to face it: being a
Christian is all about Me. It's not about how good or bad your fellow Christians are, but it's about the Christ, the One Who
came to clean up everything, no matter how big the mess is that everyone else made, including out of this mess called
Christianity today. (III:342)

No resurrection without a crucifixion. No crucifixion without a betrayal; and betrayal can only happen by someone close to
you.
That is why many people don't allow others entrance to their lives, or their inner sanctuaries: they're afraid of betrayal,
afraid of crucifixion.
That kind of hurt is inevitably part of human relationship. (III:353)

673
Never give up on anyone prematurely, and always remember how I refuse to give up on you, no matter how bad you blow
it, alright?
Remember the importance of forgiveness, the importance to keep on believing in your people, and not allow some little sin
of theirs that you're just as guilty of, to cause you to decide that you're going to quit loving them or believing in them!
Don't commit the sin of ceasing to pray for them (1Sam.112:23), of ceasing to have hope for them, and faith that I can salvage
the situation, no matter how bad. Don't give up on them, when I never would give up on you that easily!
How can you not hold on to others the way I have held on to you?
Did I give up on you? You may have expected Me to, but I didn't. Did I refuse to forgive you or stop believing in you? Did I
stop caring for you? You may have known that you would have deserved it, but I didn't. Even so, it is My will for you that
you don't give up on them, either... Never. (III:367)

If you need help, just ask! It would help to communicate about more openly. Sometimes it also applies to inter-human
relationships: Ye have not because ye ask not.
Ask and it will be given you. Pride simply doesnt pay off in this, My business! And it doesnt pay off in relationships,
either.
So, theres still a lot to learn along the lines of this relationship business, and one of the first lessons is to humble yourself
to ask, to openly make your needs known, as well as your appreciation for having them met Youll get what you want if
you just cultivate the art of asking for it in the right way. (III:393)

A fair weather relationship isnt as lasting as one that has gone through many ups and downs. Its the down times that
really strengthen the relationship and make it water-proof and weather-resistant. (III:420)

Just the fact that you are so desperately dependent on Me for anything ups the chances that youre going to stick with Me
till the end. (III:423)

Its so easy to fall into a trap of self-confidence for obviously good people. Its harder for them to depend on Me for every
move they make. (III:425)

When the job seems too big for you to do it on your own, then its a good moment to rely on Me. The main thing that
hinges on you is the responsibility whether youre going to allow Me to operate through you or not; whether youre going
to be a yielded tool and instrument in My hands, or not You can do it. You can let Me do it!
I can empower you. I want to empower you, and all that really is needed for you to do is to let Me.
When it comes to doing it all right, and gracefully and perfectly, its true that it looks more as if things are going to have to
work out in spite of you, than because of you. But if you realize like this that its really going to have to be Me helping you
and doing the work miraculously through you, then My purpose has been established and accomplished, My personal goal
in all this has been reached.
My goal is to get you to let Me do it through you, and as long as you may look as if you had all things rigged up oh so
wonderfully by yourself, the chances are a lot lower, that thats going to happen.
All the things you know and have been told about how it is supposed to be, and how you should be doing it, are - in many
ways - only there to remind you just how desperately you need Me.
Time will tell who will have really learned the lesson of reliance on Me, and who will truly rise above all things, empowered
by Me and My Spirit alone, not by natural abilities. (III:431)

I want you to know that you can always rely on My Love, that its a steady thing, and not dependent on what youre doing
or how youre doing. I want you to be able to absolutely depend on it, and to be sure that you can rely on it anytime,
regardless of whether youre doing alright or not so hot at any given moment. (III:434)

Even if the emotional level in a personal relationship isnt always the same, the goal isnt the feeling, but the goal is the life
you can build from the working relationship and the trust that it engenders.
Thats marriage. Thats being My bride. Thats more than just being a visitor on Sundays and giving Me an occasional call
just to let Me know what you need. Thats receiving My seeds in you and allowing them to bring forth fruit in you from Me
with time. Thats being family.
Ive been trying to get you into wanting and recognizing the real thing: not to have a relationship with Me for whatevers in
it for you, because thats just not the way genuine happiness is found, not to do things you know please Me only for the
benefits you might reap from it, but to really develop a love thats real, and that is so much more than a feeling. It creates a
whole new way of being in you, of doing things, of seeing things, and a new way of thinking and perception. (III:438)

Every relationship has its trials, the big question is, how do you handle them? (III:440)

While less than unconditional love may not be true love, an attitude of unwillingness to change, or of being too lazy to
even give it a try, isnt exactly the epitome of true love, either.
A zero change and zero progress attitude is an attitude that leads to stagnation and death. It suffocates a relationship.
Some sort of progress and growth is supposed to be happening in a relationship or marriage; youre not supposed to stay
forever right in the same spot where youve always been.
If someone seems to be unwilling to change and to move forward and advance toward the goal of a happy family and a
fulfilled marriage, it can be very frustrating, and kill any incentive to invest more energy into it.
If they see that youre not willing to invest an effort into the relationship, they figure a one-sided effort would only be futile.
674
That defense mechanism of expecting some kind of return for their labors of love is there for their protection. Otherwise
folks would just endlessly abuse them, and have them pour and pour and pour into them without ever giving anything in
return. But thats not how its supposed to work.
Even I expect certain things from My bride in return for pouring out My life to her: obedience, faithfulness, loyalty, faith and
trust in Me
Its a matter of focusing more on the other one, the partner, instead of only on ones own needs, wants and desires. Its a
matter of grooming the quality of unselfishness. (III:441)

Everybody you meet carries a spirit around with them, one that will either lift up or knock down, and you have to discern
which is the case with each one.
Some may seem to want to lift you up, but because they cause you to lower your guard and take your focus off of Me, it
turns out to be a trap from the enemy, which may not have been their intention, but its a sobering lesson for you to stay
tuned to Me.
You cannot let people affect you to an extent greater than My effect on you! (III:446)

You should make your connection and relationship with Me the base from which youll be able to work on your relationship
with others, and youll have a whole lot more to offer them, instead of living an endless quest of Whats in it for me?
(III:451)

Keep your eyes on Me, instead of yourself! If you were perfect, what would you need Me for? You would probably just rely
on yourself and forget all about Me! You ask Me, Why hast Thou made me thus? Well, heres the reason. I need you that
way. (III:453)

Youve got to learn to depend on the gifts of the Spirit on a regular basis, and not just once a day, but youve got to make
an effort to stay attuned to Me throughout the day, and keep receiving My signals, messages and hints.
Im trying to get you away from that independent spirit that says, life is ours, we live it our way, as if everything youve
got had come from your own hand, instead of Me having given it to you. (III:455)

A part of love a very important part, in fact, is granting people the right to be themselves, even if that means, dreadfully
different from you.
It may cost you something to relate to them, but thats what its all about: investment. How much are you willing to invest
in their freedom to be who they are in order to find true happiness? How much are you willing to invest in their happiness
at the cost of your own preferences and the things and circumstances that would make you personally happier,
temporarily? How much are you willing to sacrifice of your cake in order to feed them the essence of life? How much are
you really willing to unselfishly help them, even if theres nothing in it for you?
Thats the kind of love with which I love you. I dont just love you in order to get you to do things for Me or do things My
way.
Let them be who they are, and let them find out by allowing them to walk the road they choose. You cannot drop them like
a hot potato because they didnt choose your exact same road.
Thats another aspect of the Law of Love: you grant people the right to make their own choices, just as God does. You
wont withdraw from them in resignation when they choose a different path, but you keep on loving them anyway; always
ready to receive them back with arms wide open (III:459)

You may be learning to depend on Me, but in some aspects, Im also depending on you. Its a two-way street. Some things I
wont be able to do and simply wont get done unless you do your part. (III:460)

In order to harvest good things from people, youve got to invest more time sowing to them; youve got to spend more time
with people. In order to get along with them and cope with their weaknesses, learn how to rise above them, overcome or
overlook them, you have to spend time at it.
In order to learn how to deal with people, youve got to deal with people.
Youre not on a search for perfect people, but for people who in Me will find their perfect answer.
People are all like holes of different shapes and kinds, and what youre looking for is the type of holes for which I am the
perfect peg, the perfect Thing to fill it with. (III:462)

Its time to learn to refuse to wander through your days without Me. Its time to prove just how much you believe that you
are dependent on Me and My guidance. (III:465)

I purposely made some things too tough for you to manage on your own, so that you would ask Me for My help to do them.
(III:466)

Youre inclined to pay so much more attention to that which is of your own kind, namely physical, and especially fellow
human, tangible, physically audible and visible like you, that I wouldnt stand a chance to ever be noticed or acknowledged
by you, much less revered as the ultimate authority, had I made your fellow humans more perfectly suited to your needs
and desires.
The flaws are My personal built-in safety device to make sure youd pay a little bit of attention to Me every now and then. At
least thats the proper reaction and the right thing to do. Of course, there are all these endless other options that people
mostly resort to, like go to war, fight and quarrel over their differences. But theres really only one right answer to the
675
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 exclusively with the other person, or to what degree it lies with you,
what kind of an attitude to take on accordingly, etc.
You can only learn how to love others properly if you first love Me by tuning into Me sufficiently for Me to show you how to
love them!
Its the differences that avoid your merely falling in love with your own images of yourselves in each other. If all you really
love about the other person is just their similarities with you, then what else is it but narcism? And thats what some
people claim, love amounts to.
Well, prove them wrong by loving the totally other, the person who is totally different from you and has totally different
points of view, and opinions that differ strongly from yours. (III:469)

Without total honesty, a relationship cannot really survive in the long run. True love is totally open, nothing to hide. (III:470)

Sometimes its okay to be humbled a little by the fact that you do need others. It makes you look weak, helpless, and lost,
and you cry out, Help, dont leave me here at the mercy of these people!
But sooner or later you are going to have to learn that people are actually quite wonderful beings, and that your correlation
with them, your interactions with them, and yes, even your interdependence, are all part of My plan, especially for the
future, when you will join us in My Kingdom, where everything is one body, not just individual little parts moving about by
themselves.
Im trying to get the physical manifestation of My body on earth, My church, to work as closely to the way in which its
spiritual counterpart is working already, as much of a miracle that presently may still seem to require
Your unity, your melding together into one body, is very important to Me.
I needed to establish your interaction with Me and your dependence on Me, first. I am the Basis, and I come first.
Now that thats established, we can go to the next step and focus a little more on your correlation with others again, your
cooperation with them, and the way you interact and get things together, because that is, after all, the goal.
The goal wasnt just for Me to establish a nice and neat little private relationship with you, but to have that relationship
cause you to become mature enough to finally be able to work together properly with others as well.
Remember, The second is like unto it, theyre practically the same: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Loving Me
and learning to love Me may be the first step, and I need you to learn to have Me become your All-in-all, but only for the
purpose of being able to pass on whatever it is you receive and learn of Me to others, and share it with them.
Our relationship doesnt end between you and Me, but as it continues to grow and progress, youll see that more and more
participants are being included in it. (III:471)

In relationships, people seek that in their partner which compliments themselves, that which serves them and caters to
them, and they subconsciously seek their own image mirrored in the other one, and usually only wind up as disappointed
with that image as they already are with their own flaws. (III:473)

I want you to be happy and fulfilled in your partnerships and relationships, but you cannot just expect and demand a
perfect relationship while continuing to hold on to your own selfish desires, because thats simply not what well-
functioning relationships are all about.
What and how much do you have to give? (III:486)

Live the Real Thing, real relationship with Me and each other!
Make the best and most intimate, real kind of relationship out of it, wherever you are.
That includes having nothing to hide, and total openness and honesty.
As soon as there are skeletons in the closet its very hard, if not virtually impossible, to have the kind of relationship you
desire, because openness and honesty is such an essential part of it. Its like the oxygen it breathes and on which it lives
and thrives. (III:488)

Instead of prematurely dismissing what they have to say with a Been there, seen that attitude, why not listen and hear
them out? Grant them the honor of your attention and show them that theyre trustworthy and worthy of your attention,
your ear, your time, and of occupying some part of your existence with a part of theirs. Thats love, too, you know?
Let them be themselves, say what they have to say, and grant them an ear, even if it may fall outside of the scope of your
personal, immediate interest or curiosity.
It may seem or sound meaningless to you, but your tolerance for what Im doing in each others lives allows Me to do most
of the work and work in My mysterious ways that will bring out the greater works that you, in your own efforts never could
have accomplished.
You cant make love dependent on accomplishments, fulfilled obligations and expectations. People have got to know that
theyre loved unconditionally in order to come up with the inspiration and love to do anything that counts and matters in
the first place. (III:489)

For some reason I must have brought this person into your life, and that means that youre going to learn some essential
lessons from your interaction with them.
Are you going to show love and understanding even when in the carnal you cant seem to come up with much of either?
You know youre going to need Me to pass this test, and thats part of the test itself, part of the challenge, because youre
just going to have to stay close to Me in order not to screw it up. (III:492)
676
The devil promotes same-kind relationships, so that nobody will reach out for the other, much less for the totally Other,
which is Me. (III:498)

A wife is supposed to be someone to accompany you for life through the good times and the bad times. Theyre not for
discarding or swapping when you feel dissatisfied with them.
Its easy to take on a job you know youre getting paid for, and which you can quit anytime if things dont work out. But the
prospect of being stuck in a relationship with no way out, and not much of an immediate reward or pay-off in sight doesnt
draw many volunteers. (III:504)

Learning to take each other where youre at is part of this School of Life, and that also includes learning to take yourself
where youre at, assessing where you stand, coping with it, and doing your fellowmen the favor of loving and accepting
them just like youre inevitably going to have to do it with yourself, if you want to live a happy life. (III:510)

Would you withhold from others the same majesty of choice that Ive granted you and every other human being since the
first living couple?
It is painful to see them fall for the temptation and eating of the forbidden fruit. You know exactly how futile it is and what a
waste of time, how damaging and detrimental, and the suffering theyre in for. It hurts to see them hurt themselves. But
youve got to trust that their strayings and errings serve to draw them closer to Me and My bosom than they ever could
come otherwise. (III:519)

If you haven't learned to love your enemies, even those of your own household, then you haven't learned much to pass on.
It's better if you shut up then, and stop trying to school-master others, stop trying to teach others what you haven't learned
yet yourself.
It's a difficult and tricky situation to love those foes of your own household, especially when they're supposedly on your
side, and it turns out they're not. But is that anything new?
You're supposed to be getting the love from Me, and pass it on to them, not expect it from them, so that you'll be happy
enough to serve and obey Me!
"That's your problem" is one of the most selfish and disgusting things humans have ever started saying to one another,
and it's the opposite of My philosophy! Their problem is your problem, and if you don't believe it, you're going to see it
with your own eyes! That problem of theirs you're not doing anything about today is going to be your problem tomorrow,
and boy, are you going to wish you had!
You didn't think that neglecting a human being could bring such awfully negative repercussions with it, did you? Neglect is
ugly, when it comes to its results. But you can start today to make a difference and unto the damage by stopping the
neglect. Stop refusing to get involved, and get at least concerned and give them prayer support, if nothing else. (III:526)

Often the price for a perfect romantic relationship is their relationship with Me.
Remember, the first part of the two great Commandments is to love Me, because only once a good, strong and healthy
relationship with Me is established, can you also really and successfully love others the way you should and the way they
ought to be loved.
You want a relationship thats more from the heart? Ill be your best Teacher! Come to Me, and Ill teach you how to love
from the heart!
It takes time to grow a working and fruitful relationship, and care and nourishment, just as it does with any other growing,
living thing Youve got to nurture it, feed it, invest in it, give of your time and substance to it, except that it, in this case,
is not a thing, but actual, living people and human beings with eternal souls and spirits, just like yours. Thats the meaning
behind love your neighbor as thyself: realize that they are the same as you and deserve and need the same kind of love
and affection and attention and care as you would want for yourself. Show the sort of interest in them that you would like
for them to show you! Do unto them as you would have them do unto you. (III:541)

People have needs that they want fulfilled, and that they expect other humans to cater to. The problem often is that
because they fail to recognize and fully appreciate Me as the sole capable Candidate to live up to their expectations,
theyre hauling in more and more disappointments from their fellow humans, who simply cant.
I have made it obvious that other human beings simply wont be capable of fulfilling your every need and desire, your
longings for happiness, etc.; but only few seem to grasp the point and continue to have unrealistic expectations from their
fellows.
What you can do is continue to point them toward Me by being a faithful witness of the fact that I can and do satisfy, as
well as trying your best to be a living sample of that truth and fact, one by which they can tell and see that youre speaking
the truth.
One sure way to do that is by putting your entire hopes and trust in Me. First of all, by doing so, youll reduce the risk of
making others feel bad about their failure to satisfy you completely, and secondly, you wont feel all too guilty yourself
about your inability to do the same for them. After all, you werent made for that job, since its solely Mine.
A lot of people in this world are making the mistake of trying to do the job that has been reserved for Me. Theyre trying to
be the all-in-all to the person they love and wind up frustrated over their impotence to fully live up to that.
You can never completely satisfy each other or make each other totally happy. And changes of circumstances alone
wouldnt do it, either. You figure if he or she were different and would change this or that negative quality about them, then
things would be fine, and youd finally be happy.

677
But the truth is, Im allowing each of you to be only less than perfect for each other in order for you to get the point that
only I can truly satisfy your deepest yearning and need.
And youve got to let Me do My job and fulfill that need, if you want to live together harmoniously and in a fruitful
relationship.
Allow Me to love you and youll love Me in return, and will be able to love others the way you should as a result! (III:549)

Dont give up prematurely on people! People who refuse to give up prematurely on others wont let them go before they
have tried all they could (III:563)

My goal and intent is that eventually, people will learn from each other, from each others cultures, and that they will adapt
and absorb from each other the best traits of each culture, and thus, eventually, create an ideal blend of not-too-much of
any quality or another, but a perfectly balanced human kind.
Caring for others is more important than your own headway, and laying down your lives for the brethren is what will truly
get you to the goal, not just making sure youll get ahead yourself. (III:569)

Im trying to get you to acknowledge that you need each other in some aspects, and that you are dependent on each other.
After all, thats what community, communal life, living together, and any relationship is simply about. People need each
other. Of course, I wouldnt want you to depend on anybody more than on Me, but it wont really work either to say, I just
depend on the Lord and dont need anybody else. It is through other people, after all, that I supply your needs, including
that for company, even if you may have encountered many thorns on that rose lately. Better a rose with thorns than no
rose at all, right?
Even some of My most solitary heroes didnt completely live on their own. Elijah did spend time with Me on his own in the
wilderness, but then he also interacted with others, recruited Elisha as a disciple, etc; John the Baptist had his disciples,
and even Enoch enjoyed company other than Mine at times, otherwise nobody would have noticed that hed gone missing
when he walked with Me and wasnt found, right?
Sometimes I give you special times of solitude, just like I also needed and enjoyed during My earthly life, but these also
serve to make you appreciate more the company of your loved ones again once youre back from the desert or mountain.
Its good and within My perfect will for you to recognize how much you need others, and learn to appreciate those I have
put at your side.
Life is all about learning to appreciate what Im giving you; most of all the people I have given you to live with and to learn
to cherish. (III:571)

Youve got to make room for some acceptance and tolerance of other peoples wavelengths and preferences.
The truth is, nobody is 100% on track all the time, otherwise they simply wouldnt be human, and those who dont check
whether theyre really doing alright are in greater danger of straying than those who they constantly nudge to make sure
they stay on the straight and narrow. (III:573)

Make it a rule to keep your life, your mind, your heart open for your loved ones, no matter what it is you do!
Be there completely when you greet and welcome them. Dont treat them like 2nd class citizens.
You have to make a conscious effort to keep people above your projects youre working on.
People are what its all about.
Its a matter of dedicating your life more to people, more to love, more actually becoming involved in the art of loving.
If you become primarily a lover of people, then you will learn to say the right kind of words, and to deliver your message in
a loving way, and you wont make anyone feel hurt or left out or locked out. Theyll know that youre alright with them, and
not mad at them or against them in some way.
Unless your project will have that warm people ingredient, it wont really touch people. It may be inspired and brilliant
and everything, but unless it has that taste and warmth and smell that comes from rubbing your shoulders with people and
getting close to them, most folks wont be able to relate to it, simply because they may not be that spiritually minded. They
need a more flesh and blood oriented Gospel.
You cannot allow your unrealistic expectations to separate you from people! (III:577)

Familiarity is a strange thing. It is one of the main factors that destroy relationships, and yet at the same time tries to
prolong unfruitful relationships for as long as possible, since youve felt so familiar with it all along, it would hurt to let it
go.
The hard part about separations that most folks in relationships dread, is making it official. Nobody wants to be the one
who was being let down, or jilted, dropped and forsaken for another one. That hurts their pride. Thats why some couples
just resolve to letting their broken relationship quietly peter out. They still live together, sleep in separate rooms, and
people arent always quite sure whether theyre still a couple or not, but its not really that important. Theyre still the same
two people, and they often have to stick together for reasons of convenience, or because of children involved, etc.
- Another lesson and learning experience in life on how to get along as two human beings under adverse circumstances
that force them to find some kind of a peaceable compromise.
Love comes with pain sometimes, because there are still so many remainders of the desires of the self in there.
Its normal that there are personal interests involved in filling ones personal needs. Nobody is that saintly that they get
into a relationship only for the sake of the other one. And sometimes it becomes clear and evident after a while that what
you need isnt going to be met by this particular relationship anymore, and when both parties come to that conclusion,
thats when theyre usually ready to let go and ready for a change.

678
It doesnt have to become a big drama. Yes, theres pain involved, everybody can tell. But what is actually causing the
pain? Is it really love and a broken heart about the loss, or the pain that comes from breaking a long habit, parting from
something or someone youve grown very used to, a little bit like fighting withdrawals from an addiction?
Maybe its a little bit of both. But when theres much mutual pain involved that two are inflicting on each other, then its
usually a clear sign that the amount of selfish interests involved exceeds that of the amount of pure love in it. (III:581)

Maybe the great mistake many make from the beginning is viewing anything or anybody as theirs in the first place.
As My Word says, What have you that you have not received? And if people would apply that to the people theyre living
with as well, maybe they would treat them with a little more respect, too.
Its easy to spot the tyrant in others, but an entirely different challenge discovering him in yourself.
How much love do you have to see with that extra spiritual eye that sees the good in others and possibilities others cant
see, instead of only their faults? (III:583)

Every person you meet is a world of lessons in itself, lessons you can only learn if youre interested enough to find out
and ask Me to teach them to you and reveal to you those things about them that you dont know.
Since people are your job for Me, so to speak, you like to project hopes into them, and your expectations of them are
sometimes unrealistically high to begin with.
Some people are too negative and dont see the potential in others at all, thats the other side of the coin. The ideal would
be where with My Help, you can swiftly assess where people are at, and find out from Me whether I want you to invest your
time in them and whether you should put your hopes in them, or whether theyre just basically hot air.
The environment is bound to have some sort of effect on the fruit. Its harder to find good, healthy fruit in a spiritually sick
and unhealthy country. (III:592)

People with a strong will have a harder time to form successful relationships with others and finding it in them to carry out
orders or whats required of them, especially when its in aspects that require faith, instead of situations with immediate,
tangible rewards and gratifications. (IV:18)

Nearly everything about a relationship depends on the way you see your partner. If you view them with critical eyes and
dont really appreciate them, they feel it, and it is manifested as a lack of love, which is the fuel of any relationship. It just
wont make anymore uphill progress but inevitably grinds to a halt, and you might have to walk a few miles to the next
station to get that love tank filled up again and keep on rolling another stretch. (IV:42)

Just how true friends really are usually only shows in your hour of Gethsemane, and its best not to screw your hopes up
too high, but learn to live with the reality of where most people are really at, and to develop a strength of character that will
help you to stand when you will have to face lifes darkest trials on your own
The kind of friends that really count are those who have the same Best Friend that you have in Me, people who also center
their lives around Me, and who have a living connection with Me, which I can use to keep you on their hearts and minds,
just as I remind you to pray for them.
In the long run, it pays off to make other people happy, to help them, and to be a friend to them, even if initially they might
not seem to have anything to offer you. Thats what true friends are all about.
Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. That pretty much wraps it all up and
reveals the sort of quality and sacrificial, unselfish attitude a true friend according to My book must have.
Just hang on for a little longer, and keep walking that path of true success as defined by how much you give, not by how
much you get (the opposite of the worlds idea of success), and youll see that the type of people will show up in your life
who have learned to live their lives by the same criteria. (IV:57)

Friendships and relationship require maintenance work.

The only thing that really cultivates friendships is actual interaction with people.
I wouldnt want you to be part of those whose greatest regret is the realization that they failed to invest time, heart and
prayer right where it would have required it the most, namely with those closest to them.
I dont want you to be like those countless souls who dont even know their very wives or husbands, their children, and the
very ones theyre supposed to be closest to. (IV:66)

It may surprise some people, but I wasnt exactly a born optimist when it came to people and all they were capable of in
this life, either. I knew what was in their hearts, and from the viewpoints of some, it may have also sounded pessimistic
that I kept foretelling them that they were going to crucify Me.
So, Im not going to tell you, Relax, theyre all not as bad as you imagine them to be.
The only thing I can tell you is what I always tell you: Dont look at them, look at Me! Optimism may not always pay off
when it comes to people, but it will pay off when it comes to Me. Its actually not just blind optimism then, but real faith and
trust.
Focus on Me, and I will give you the strength and wisdom and guidance to make it through any situation with people.
Dont be afraid of their faces! Dont be afraid of what other people can possibly do to you, and the hurt they may
possibly inflict on you, because Im with you through all of it.
The art is to learn to forgive and love them anyway, in spite of it all.
The art is to learn to pray even on the very cross they nailed you to: Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Youre never going to be able to pray that on the cross if you dont learn to pray that in the everyday situations of life.

679
Most people arent aware of the dangers of relationship. Just like baby animals usually arent afraid of people to the extent
that older, grown up animals are. Experience teaches both man and animals alike to be more careful.
Its good to be cautious and watchful. I never said, Go ahead and jump right in with both feet, and enjoy whatever
situation you land in! I admonished My disciples to watch and pray. There are certain situations and things in life you
would naturally wish to avoid, and it takes some looking before you leap, and some wisdom, prayer and communication
with Me in order to avoid winding up in a bigger mess than the one you were in previously. (IV:70)

What the Big Picture mainly consists of is people, and in that aspect, theres yet quite a bit more for you to discover.
Even though the heart of man is the same all over the world when it comes to his need for Me, there are yet many
differences between the ways people allow their hunger for Me to be quenched in different cultures.
Theres nothing like the real live experience of getting to know people and cultures elsewhere to really give you a bigger
view of the Big Picture. (IV:71)

I want you to learn to accept others the way they are, and try to sympathize with them, and relate to them, even if their
interests differ strongly from yours. I want you to accept and tolerate them the same way you would wish to be accepted
by them. (IV:78)

My influence in someones life can purify their motivations and cleanse a relationship or marriage from any impure and
selfish elements. It gives the whole thing a noble cause, and that is really what its meant to be: a unification for the sake of
the greatest Cause ever; the determination to walk My path together and follow Me and fight for our Cause, of changing the
world with love, fighting and resisting evil, and bringing My Light into it (IV:108)

The more important I become to you, the better able you will also be to treat your fellow humans, including your mate and
family, the way you should. (IV:117)

Being a nobody and just walking through life as an empty zero, as opposed to a big shot somebody, enables you to totally
zoom into people, get onto their level, instead of judging them according to the degree to which they are different than
you.
Of course, if I would have wanted to make things easy for you, I could have filled your life with people that are just like you.
But what sort of challenge would that be? What sort of growth and progress would it provoke? (IV:144)

Im not saying that relationship is always easy. Nor did I ever say that its the easy way I want you to go. But when your
burden gets heavy and youre weary and heavy laden, you can come to Me, and I will give you rest.
Perhaps I did make relationships a little hard sometimes in order for people to seek Me more often than they would
otherwise, if their lives were all perfect. (IV:183)

Love doesnt flare up in the face of someone you claim to love the minute something less than desirable occurs and give
them the blame for it.
It doesnt treat people unfairly. It takes both the ups and downs, and doesnt just remain loyal during the good times.
You learn to take the ups and downs, the bad times along with the good times.
Once youve got the basis of love straight with Me, then you will also start making progress in your relationship with
others. (IV:205)

Accepting people for what they are and taking them where theyre at will enable you to have a much better and more open
relationship with them. (IV:263)

I want our relationship to be quite like any human love relationship.

I want to be your Lover, be part of your team. (IV:266)

Relationship is what life is all about. - In fact, not only this present, temporary and earthly life, but life in general. - Life per
se. Life is to a great extent, relationship. It comes about through relationship, and its all about relationship as it goes on
and continues. (IV:356)

One thing is your relationship with Me and the fact that you believe in Me, accept and seek My counsel, and try your best
to please Me; another thing is your relationships with people, and the way you get along with them
Of course, ideally, if our relationship is very strong, and you not only hear and receive My Words, but also make a genuine
effort to put My counsel into action, it will rub off positively on your inter-human relationships as well. (IV:361)

Physical benefits alone are not enough to base a fruitful, lasting relationship on.
The only thing that can ever uphold it indefinitely is true love. (IV:362)

Life is very much about relationship. I am very much about relationship.

Life is about people. And thats why I have made people to need people. Often it seems as if you cant get along with each
other, but as youre finding out, its even harder to get along without each other (IV:372)

680
You must really fight in order to preserve that spark of true love, that spark of life within your relationship and marriage,
and you may never allow familiarity or self-righteousness, a critical attitude or any arguments, differences of opinion,
attacks of disunity, or whatever, to kill it.
You must guard it, just like you must guard the flame of this love and relationship between you and Me.
This relationship with Me serves as a model of what your ideal relationship with your lover and wife ought to be like: a
relationship of mutual giving and respect, where both parties need each other and regularly voice that fact and assure
each other of their appreciation and need for each other.
Just like I keep telling you that I need you, you also keep telling me that you need Me (IV:384)

Taking people for granted is a killer, and Ive watched it do so much harm over the course of time, you can hardly blame Me
for making things a little harder on you in order to ensure you wont be making the same mistake
In order to be able to truly appreciate a relationship, it is good if a price had to be paid for it, some hardships to go through
in order to obtain it, and some hurdles to overcome.
Love was meant to be forever; and while that may not necessarily apply to every relationship, it does apply to the ideal
relationship, and My idea of a relationship, so what Im building and establishing in lives is a relationship that lasts. (IV:471)

Its essential to have a relationship that glorifies Me, one that you can tell that Im really in it, one in which My Presence is a
given and in which you can see Me in each other. (11:29)

The differences between you that sometimes give you a hard time will become totally insignificant, and youll finally realize
once and for all just how much youve had in common all along, and how those common factors are just so much more
important and relevant and worth paying attention to than any differences.
So, maybe heres a clue on what to do with and how to treat any differences between you: treat them in the same way you
should treat the hole in the donut of all things: just ignore them, and focus on whats there instead, namely the things you
have in common, the fact that Ive put you together for a reason.
Just the fact that I saw fit for you to occupy the same space at the same time should be grounds enough for you to believe
that there must be a very good purpose for it, and that it couldnt have possibly been a mistake, as the devil would like to
make you believe. (11:62)

Your happiness ultimately depends on her happiness; thats just the way things work in a tightly knit relationship such as
marriage. (11:134)

People have gotten so used to toys, things and gimmicks that they automatically look for them to satisfy them, but
ultimately, the real kick and satisfaction comes from relationship, union and communication between living souls. (2012:66)

Just as our relationship is one that is inevitably framed and shaped by forgiveness, so human relationships must be, since
failure, hurt and the resulting need for forgiveness are bound to happen
When your personal relationships drain you of your last ounce of strength, thats when our relationship comes to the fore.
(2012:94)

Relationships, due to their challenging nature, have this habit of drawing you closer to Me in desperation more frequently
than almost any other challenge you can encounter in life. (2012:141)

Sometimes opposites can compliment each other in working relationships, and they can be an asset. Like this you have
qualities that appeal to a wider range of people and personality types (2012:155)

As true and real as you are, so will the people in your life be to you, and if theres something lacking about their
truthfulness and realness, then it just may be that youre only reaping some of what you yourself have sown (2012:162)

Thats a very real danger in relationships and marriages: to get so focused on each other and cling to each other for
support and help that Im washed away from view, crowded out from among your midst by the constant demands and
expectations of each other, instead of seeing Me as the only reliable Source for such help. (2013: 2)

Youre finding yourself tempted frequently, to put your career above your relationship. But maybe this can serve as a
warning for you, not to give in to that temptation. (2013:17)

Relationship is largely based on personal desires and needs.

Thats not to say it cannot be salvaged and turned into a relationship where genuine love is the case.
You appreciate the level of truthfulness in our relationship, but youve got to understand that this is one aspect in which
our relationship is unique, and you cant expect the same from others. - Which may be sad, but nonetheless true. (2013:34)

Thats why faith is such an important factor not only in our relationship, but just about any: How are you going to trust
someone without having faith in them? If you suspect ulterior motives behind what they do, or that they dont really love
you, how is that conducive to a pleasant, enjoyable relationship?
Sometimes youve just got to take it by faith that youre being loved, and that the hard knocks are just a part of that, to
make you better, not bitter.
How are you going to enjoy a relationship without trusting the other for what they do?
681
The bad times may sometimes make you wonder, Did I make the right choice? But its faith that makes you trust and
believe that eventually the good times will also come up again, and isnt that what eternal life means? There are good
times up ahead! So dont worry too much about the bad times! Good times are coming! Good love is on the way. (2013:109)

Learn and become able to treat, value and handle others a bit above yourself! (2014:80)

Sometimes marriages can be pretty tough situations but maybe it also gives you a picture of how hard My relationship
with My spiritual bride can sometimes be for Me.
Brides and wives can often have quite different attitudes than their husbands and well, thats one thing to learn to
have to cope with!
At least you can now somewhat relate to what Ive had to go through with you, and maybe itll help you to be a bit more
considerate of Me, My will for and viewpoint of you, and gives you some of that needed humility to yield to Me.
Relationships between folks arent always easy, and theres a lot left to learn in life. (2015:62)

How about getting ready to manage to cope with the differences in others, especially when that someone is your wife?
Some of My problems with My bride arent all that easy, and I wish for you to go through some of the things I have to with
My bride, just so youll learn a little about what it is Im having to go through and put up with.
Trust Me that these things will draw us closer together in the end, having to go through some of the things youre having
to go through with your wife that I have to go with My bride, which youre part of! Learning things about relationships, and
especially seeing parts of the other side is a big part of what its all about. (2015:237)

Just remember that the most important relationship you can possibly have is the one with Me and your heavenly helpers!
(2016:83)

If folks down there are treating you roughly, dont let it bring you down or hurt your pride, but see it as part of the
preparation for the toughest times to come, during which circumstances will be rougher by far, and accordingly
peoples behavior and modes! (2016:97)

A lot depends on you, not those around you. Thats one of the lessons of life. Not to let circumstances, surrounding, and
even the state of other folks around you drag you down, but keeping your faith, vision, focus and outlook geared Up Here,
your true Home, and toward Me, the Solver of any of your problems. (2016:106)

Remember that our relationship yours with Me - is supposed to be the most important (16:107)

Just remember that your relationship with Me is more important than your relationship with your wife! Im the One Who
saved you from your sins and can still save you from any coming mess in this world or your life, while you cant really
expect her to save you from anything, but instead maybe help you learn a couple of necessary lessons in life! (2016:186)

Personal relationships have become a tougher part for servants of Mine, and one of the main reasons why a lot of My
former servants stayed singles.
Then again, the tougher parts and aspects of life also contain the greatest amount and variety of lessons; so, dont just
see them as negative, even if making circumstances a bit tougher than they could be otherwise! (17:14)

I know its a toughie when the ones closest make things the hardest, but its another reminder of Whom youve got to lean
on, and on whom not. (17:57)

Sometimes folks need wives to make them aware of some of their most besetting weaknesses.
Human relationships bring out the effect of weaknesses and bad habits
A big factor on the necessity of human relationships. (17:137)

It might cost you a little more faith to believe and trust that Ive put you two together for a good - and godly - reason, even
if you cant see that right now well, but wasnt that precisely what faith is?
Cant see any point in it but trust Me for it anyway? (17:143)

682
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Sin

Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.John 8:34

If you continue this walk with Me, I will perform the miracle of helping you to overcome your besetting sins, help you to
forsake the residue of the enemys strongholds in your life. (I:2)

Sometimes the greatest sin anyone can commit is to do nothing! (I:50)

The more you dwell in My Word the better you know your weaknesses, for My Words are a mirror to your soul and an
exposing light of the wickedness and deceitfulness of the heart of man. My Word is a two-edged sword, discerner of
thoughts and intents of the heart, and if you really want to know the truth about yourself, study My Word. In fact, that's the
main reason why most people shun My Word, because it reveals the ugly truth about them. It's not always very uplifting or
encouraging; it's breaking, and a downer at first. But then again, it's like the story of the wayward son who didn't stick it
through the reading of his fathers testament until the good part came.
The good news is that I can deliver you from all the sins and weaknesses and make a new creature out of you. All have
been tempted to feel more righteous than God about some point at one time or another. (I:112)

Sin means missing the mark. So, in order to hit the mark, and not sin, youve got to focus, youve got to take time, youve
got to concentrate, youve got to stay clear of any distraction. (I:202)

Through sin, Satan is able to attack you with condemnation. But only until you get a hold of Me and pump down enough of
My heavenly water to wash all that filth away. (I:211)

Sins are like weeds which have to be torn out and chopped down with the ax of My Word, otherwise theyll let in the giants
of gloom and despair (demons and bad spirits unhappiness). Stop everything in such a situation and chop down the
weeds! Pull out the ax! Stop all playground activities and pull out verses! (I:285)

You've got to believe in My Love. You've simply got to know that I love you! The original sin of man was to doubt that, and
the greatest sin, the sin against the Holy Spirit, is to reject that love by not believing that God so loved the World that He
gave His only begotten Son, once they've been given the chance to receive Him. (I:416)

I want you to base your confidence on My love for you. I want to be a true mirror to you, one that shows you your flaws,
but can also help you to overcome them, and that is not achieved by ignoring them. The veil I cast over countless sins is
not a veil that hides the ugliness beneath, but a veil of healing. (I:460)

You've got to learn to love folks even with their mistakes. "Love the sinner and hate the sin" doesn't really mean, "Sure, I'll
love the sinner. As soon as he gets rid of the sin!" Imagine if that was My attitude! No, loving the sinner means loving them
in spite of their sin and patiently helping them to overcome their sin and having the faith that will eventually manage to do
so by My grace!
My body was broken, and My blood was shed precisely for your healing and remission of sins, so, how can you withhold it
from them when that's the very purpose I went through all the suffering and agony for?
Never condemn them for their weaknesses! Overcoming mistakes, faults and weaknesses and sins is one of the major
objectives in life. Your weaknesses and sins are an important part of this school of life. If I would have sent you all perfect
to this Earth, what would there be to learn? What would there be to save? What purpose would there have been for Me to
come and die for?
I love you completely despite all and any of your sins and flaws and short-comings. And I want you to learn to love others
with that very same love of Mine for them, too. I've got a love that sees through faults as if they were glass or not even
there. I just see the good, that's what love does. People are always quick to judge others for their flaws, just like they were
quick to judge and crucify Me. But learn to see things differently! Learn to see through the eyes of forgiveness, and the
eyes of love. "Against such, there is no law!" (I:469)

Whatsoever is not of faith, is sin, so, don't do it if you don't have the faith for it. Pretending to have faith when you don't
can also be a sin. (I:486)

You must see through My eyes, no matter how hopeless the aspects. Reject what you see with your carnal eyes and look
beyond, at the unseen; the spiritual, the beauty I will bring about for the ashes of the temporal imperfection, the sin, the
disobedience, the weakness and the flaws that might be all you can see with your eyes right now. (I:506)

If you look at all the sin and the human failure that's there, and all that's wrong, you might as well give up and quit and tie
up in port right now. The difference between the System and the true Ecclesia is not that there is no sin in the Ecclesia. It's
that in the Ecclesia there is a lot more grace to be found. My grace. In the World there is sin and the accompanying
condemnation which alienates them from Me. In the Ecclesia, there is sin with the accompanying forgiveness and mercy
and lessons of love and humility gained out of them in the long run, as I have promised to all those who love Me, because
683
even your sins are part of "all things" that work together for good to you.
Instead of allowing the sin and the bad all around to drag you down into the pit, you should praise Me, that in spite of all
that filth I love you and will always love you, and - don't worry: I have cleansed you, and I will continue to cleanse you and
sanctify you unto Me. You are very precious to Me. Like diamonds just hewn out of the dark, black rocks: There's still a lot
of that black stuff all around you, and if you focus on that, you're not a pretty sight, that's true. But just wait until I'm
through with you!
Now, some say, "Stick me back into the mud and into the rocks! I can't bear the shame of my filth! I don't want the World to
see how dirty I am, and down there in the mire with all the other dirt, at least I won't stick out! Put me back in!" Or they say,
"Whoa, you guys are really not looking that much better than the rest of the rocks down there in the mine. I might as well
go back there and spare myself all the chipping away on me by the Master's hand; all that cleansing and uncomfortable
purging."
It's all a matter of focus, like Pollyanna said: "If you look for the bad in people, you're going to find it." The trick is to look
at the good and focus on the good, which, in essence, means to focus on Me in each of you, the hope of glory. It's having
faith for each other, faith that looks not so much at what you or they are, but what by the grace of God someday you're all
going to be. (I:516)

The devil often uses little things and seemingly innocent little sins, lacks of forgiveness or tiny little grudges in the back of
people's minds. Remember the "camel's nose." Once he's got the tip of his nose in by one little thing that's lingering in the
back of your mind, he'll try his head, then the neck and you know the story...
Don't let him take over your tent! Give no place to the devil! (I:555)

Sin not by disbelief and lack of trust in Me knowing what I'm doing! (I:568)

If you know you've got a certain weakness in an area that you need to overcome, or a root of sin that you need to tear out
and not allow it to grow, then you've just got to keep recognizing it, keep confronting it, keep at it. Keep applying the
remedy. Keep calling on the Gardener and the Gardener's helpers to help you combat those evil, ensnaring weeds,
hindering you from bearing any real fruit in your life.
I am come to save you from your sin, not only to forgive you for them, or earn you the Father's forgiveness by My sacrifice,
but also to really free you from your sins, including your besetting sins. Just lay aside the weights and the sins which do
so easily beset you, looking unto Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and
Omega, Who hath delivered, Who doth deliver and who will yet deliver. (I:580)

Some had expected the Messiah to be a great deliverer in the flesh, who would cast off the Roman yoke from their neck.
But I was "only" a Deliverer in spirit, Who would free them from a much greater yoke, though, than the Roman yoke,
namely the yoke of their own sins. That is not something that appeals to pride, nor the flesh, nor to anyone who settles for
this temporary world. This only appeals to those who are weary of this world, who know that it has got nothing to offer
them. (I:588)

Hiding from Me is always the result of sin. 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 and
deceit." (II:4)

If you break the rules, if you commit sin, it's going to be judged.
Someday you're going to look up to Me and say, "Lord, when You let me get away with everything and you spoiled me and
gave me all my requests, I loved you, but I didn't love you as much as after you pulled out the rod and started chastising
me for my sins and shortcomings."
You only learn to truly keep My law of love by the afflictions I'm letting come upon you! (II:56)

Not missing the mark (the essence of "sin") because you've allowed the enemy to distract you, that's what it's all about. It
means sharpening your focus. Fighting with all that's within you to drown out the voices that would tear you away from
what's really relevant. Cutting out all the frills, the things all around the true essential and center of the meaning of life, and
instead of just circling all around it or hitting the spots all around it, hitting straight into the bulls eye...
I am the Target! If you will focus on Me long enough, if you just manage to hold still long enough and to not give in to all
the voices reminding you of this or that or the other you could do, if you just stay clearly focused on Me, barring
everything else from your mind, you will hit the mark! (II:59)

"Love casts a veil over countless sins." How much are you availing yourself of the veil of love? How much do you use it?
In other words, how much do you love? How much are you able to cope with others in spite of their faults? (II:106)

Search your heart for hidden motivations, wrong attitudes, which could lead you up the wrong path!
There's hardly 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. (II:170)

Your weaknesses seem to be a part of you that seems to be pretty hard to get rid of. But that's why Salvation from your
sins was the part that I've had to do, you don't have to worry about it! I'll take care of your weaknesses; just leave'em up to
Me!

684
When it comes to all that dirt, I'm "Mr. Proper," for real! I take care of it like nothing and no one else can! Through the daily
washing of your soul and spirit in My Word I'm giving you a glimpse of what it's going to be like. Right now it seems like
the dirt is really hard to get rid of because it clings so easily to the flesh. The less emphasis you put on the flesh, the more
progress you'll make in combating your besetting sins. (II:178)

Everybody can love perfect people! There's nothing special about that. But it takes something to learn to love the
imperfect and faulty and to put up with their flaws, look past and beyond them and yet come up with a compassion for
them that will enable you to even lay down your life for them.
So, learn to love others in spite of their faults! Recognize that they are all victims of something greater, just like you, and
that you're all there to help each other to overcome those weaknesses and things that hold you captive. (II:179)

You must study and investigate at times in order to really find out what happened, what's been going on here, "who
dunnit?" "Why are we stuck in a rut and don't seem to be making progress?" And that's exactly what We're here for: to let
you know.
My heavenly forces are in a way like policemen or officers of law enforcement, and it is their job to catch and expose the
culprit. A crime has been committed - or rather, countless crimes - and it is their and your duty to find out who was
responsible for this. Who were the perpetrators? Who instigated it, and who were the helpers? Who was involved? (II:181)

You thought that I couldn't possibly love you because of your sins, you didn't deserve it. The enemy had a grip on you
through your sins. It wasn't that your sins actually caused Me to love you less, but they caused you to believe that I loved
you less. That's why dealing with your sins and mistakes is important, too, you cannot just ignore them. Some who have
refused to deal with them aren't around anymore, they didn't make it. It takes that honest confrontation with them.
So, now you've come to face your sins, learned from your past mistakes, have allowed Me to expose to you your own
selfish hidden motives, and have allowed My Words to cleanse you from them with their white-hot truth, and you have
come to accept My unconditional love and eternal forgiveness.
Trust Me that each stumble will be another fall upward, closer to Me, closer to My arms, and that I will always be there to
catch you. And no matter how hard you fall, or how badly you err or sin, I will always, always forgive you! Eventually, if you
really believe this, the devil will have to see that it's senseless, that he can't deceive you anymore into thinking that you
have "fallen from grace" or are "too bad for Me." (II:305)

Some people who were allegedly on the bad side, actually did wind up on the good side, after all. My mercy was greater
than everything, greater than their sin, and certainly greater than the self-righteousness of those who would have preferred
to see them in hell! I'm still a Friend of sinners and still have a hard time with the self-righteous, holier-than-thou pretend-
to-be-so-gooders. (II:333)

By being a partaker of My life, My flesh, My body, My blood, you can also be a partaker of My victory - the victory over all
sin - that I gained for you and all mankind - all of those who will avail themselves of that offer, that gift. One overcame for
all. Because I overcame, you can overcome, and because you overcome, others will yet overcome. (II:359)

Though your sins be as scarlet, they will be made white, and as high as the Heavens are above the Earth, so far will I
remove your transgressions from you. (II:363)

People find the darkness more attractive than the light for some reason.
Most people just don't want to be cleansed of their sins, but they want to keep them hidden in the darkness.
They don't want to be told that what they do - or don't do (James 4:17)! - is sin, and that they should stop it. (II:417)

The sins of the past are no more, 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)."
It takes a little time, just like taking a bath takes time, and it takes a little effort, scrubbing the dirt off here and there, but it
feels good, doesn't it?
The spiritual stench has to go that comes from living in this world, accumulating dirt, decaying cells and dried sweat, the
results of the curse and the fall, and you can partake of Me, My cleansing, My grace and mercy, My all-encompassing
forgiveness and Love, and feel free and clean again. (II:419)

Self-righteousness and pride stop you from even seeing the need for forgiveness, because they don't let you see your own
sin. So, thank Me, even for your besetting sins, for your lack of accomplishing great things, because these factors keep
you humble, dependent on Me! (II:437)

Happiness is something I bring about 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, simply put, sin. "The sin, which doeth so easily
beset us..." (Heb.12:1). Just cast it aside and continue looking unto Me. Sin is all that will rob you of your true happiness, all
that will try to distract you from Me, will tell you, you don't really need Me, you can make it on your own, achieve it by
yourself, to make yourself happy.
Sin is giving in to the craving for the wrong type of input, the type that increases and exalts the flesh and starves and
neglects your spirit, your spiritual need, that "God-shaped hole" I've created for Myself, and which only I can fill. But all it
will lead to is disappointment and further realization of where it's not at, unless you're willing to live with a deception and a
lie, which is, of course, what many people do. (II:440)
685
Open the range of the Power of this gift in your life to others around you: the veil cast over countless sins!
I have pulled you out of the depth of your own sin time and again, in the hopes that you'll learn to extend that same mercy
on others. (II:451)

I can forgive you for all your mistakes and sins because I can see you're going to make it in spite of them. (II:452)

Through the world's ways of sin, I bring about the need for salvation, their need for Me, and thus a much closer
relationship between Me and you than I could have brought about any other way. (II:481)

The devil is 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'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 and potential sin. None of these things are
sins in themselves; they only become sin if you neglect Me in these activities. As long as you keep Me at the center of
them, or remember to put Me in the center of them, everything is alright, and there's no danger of your neglecting Me.
As long as you don't become impatient and feverishly anxious to pursue your momentary and temporal interests, but
continue to take the time to get into the groove of eternity, and stay there, constantly remembering that the spiritual and
eternal are what matters, it's fine. But the devil is waiting and watching, cunningly trying to manipulate things and trying to
lead things up to some unguarded moment...
Usually when you're low on physical and spiritual energies and tuckered out, exhausted and you feel like now you have a
right to let it all hang out, to just relax and even be a little selfish, that's when he's got a chance to come in. (II:526)

Your sin is only a temporary state, and since time, in comparison to the vastness and reality of Eternity isn't really "real" in
a sense, its like paper money: It may have a certain value to you right now, but in the scope of eternity, it's nothing. "The
wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life."
Just like people are slaving away for money and live for nothing but money, it seems, smoking away their given time... it's
all nothing but a bit of smoke, "a vapor that's here a little while and then it's gone." But the real thing lasts forever.
So, don't worry too much about your weaknesses, your sins, your failures... You can do what you can to overcome them,
but the main thing you've got to do is let Me. I've already given you the gift of eternal life, in the scope of which you're
already perfect. Your sin is nothing to worry about anymore. You're not under the payment system of the "wages of sin"
anymore. I've already promised you and given you an eternal vacation and rest from it all, and the sooner you start
enjoying living and working and enjoying life for Me, the better off you're going to be.
Sin, time and money are connected somehow. If the love of money is the root of all evil, then it is certainly connected to
sin, plus, if "time is money," as they say... they're living away their lives in the slavery of sin. As I told the people, "He that
commits sin is the servant of sin" (John 8:34), and I'm the only One Who can liberate anyone from that bondage. They slave
away for their meager wages, which, in the end, turn out to be nothing but death, that "way which seemed so right unto a
man," but turned out to be the ways of death... (II:537)

Sin is neglect of Me, underestimating Me and not giving Me the importance and priority in one's life that is due. (II:564)

To be filling the place in your heart that was destined for Me with anything but Me is sin. It is idolatry. It is having other
gods before Me, or instead of Me. A lot of folks don't know any better; and that's where your job comes in, of reminding
them of what's really essential. (II:572)

No matter what the sin, don't judge, label, criticize and exclude, but include, forgive, cast a veil over countless sins
immediately, without even necessarily insisting on seeing them all! (II:580)

My Love for you is greater than your unbelief! My pardon is greater than your sin.
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 and 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.
Of course, sometimes I will also allow a little of his pressure to reveal to you that you're not quite as innocent as you may
have thought. But the more you see the need for My forgiveness, the more you will also avail yourself of it, and the more
you will be washed clean. You won't be washed clean by ignoring the dirt, or never even finding out it's there... You have to
expose it, confront it, discover it and then attack it with the laundry soap of My Spirit, My pardon and forgiveness. And in
turn, the more you are forgiven, the more you will also love and forgive others... The whole process is one huge and
powerful love-generator, so, 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.
Don't worry about being a sinner! Be thankful for the ability to recognize it and that it will be a way to experience My Love
and pardon! (II:600)

686
The times you stumble draw you closer to Me. You can't be a perfect sample at all times, and those who want to find
salvation through you and others like you will also sometimes have to find that it's "through forgiving that we obtain
pardon," as Francis said. People expect Christians to be perfect, but nobody is. I didn't come to call the perfect to
repentance, but the sinners. The healthy ones don't need a doctor, but the sick do.
The inability to see one's own sin is a much greater curse than all other sins combined, and one sure way of learning to
recognize your own sins is through dealing with and confronting those faults in others, too, and forgiving them for them...
learning to accept sin as a natural thing that you're simply having to live with in this dispensation of grace. After all,
without sin, there wouldn't be any need for grace, and "where sin abounds, grace does much more abound." That's why
some of My greatest saints have usually also been some of the greatest sinners. No one loves quite like a forgiven sinner.
Sinning keeps you humble. It's not like I'm advertising sin, but I'm trying to encourage you and help you not to feel too bad
about it (Ps.37:24).
If you wouldn't make any mistakes, there wouldn't be half as much for Me to talk to you about. You see how your sins,
shortcomings and failures draw you closer to Me? You want to learn how to do better, and that's basically what healing,
learning, growing and salvation is all about: that void, that need to grow, that emptiness. You have a need for Me when
you're not perfect, when you realize you failed, when you need help to see, when you realize you really don't know much of
anything... (II:617)

"The truth shall make you free." It is My Word and your continued absorption of it that is going to lead you to freedom from
your sins. (II:630)

The love of money is the root of all evil (1.Tim.6:10), because once people covet it, they wont act out of love, and thus,
missing the mark of acting out of love, they sin. (II:653)

You cannot give place to the devil, you cannot give any place to sin or dishonesty in your life, for the devil will use it. (III:4)

Sometimes people act as if their things were more important than some poor soul.
That, to Me, is the epitome of setting wrong priorities. It's certainly missing the mark of love, and thus, sin. (III:27)

Sometimes you have to resist unto blood, striving against sin, which means, it takes more than a prayer of deliverance
over some of your besetting sins. It takes the honesty and courage to be willing to face them in the first place, letting Me
expose and show them to you, shine My light of truth into those dark corners of your heart, and then allowing Me to clean
up there.
Simply seeing it, recognizing it and acknowledging it, admitting to it, takes humility, and that's already half the victory in
itself. (III:51)

The sinful nature in you that always seeks to contradict Me, to doubt Me, to strive against Me, to run away from Me.
The "spiritual" sins of self-righteousness and spiritual pride are much more severe, and much more deeply rooted in the
flesh than the mere desire to enjoy the bodies I have given you, including all its functions. (III:62)

You haven't yet resisted unto blood, striving against the sins of foolishness, worldliness and shallowness that are trying to
entice you and beguile you. (III:69)

A thief, who by stealing thinks he enriches himself, only takes loss of his own soul.
They don't realize that they're losing by what they consider gain, how they're only heaping up misery for themselves by
trying to chase that artificial happiness.
The ways of sin make a person ugly, warped, distorted, despicable and undesirable, compared to what they're supposed to
be. The question is, can you love them anyway? Can you love them enough to help them find their way back to Me? Can
you still see My light in them? Can you still consider them a "friend," even if they don't act like you do? Can you forgive
them the way you have been forgiven? (III:85)

Just because I saved you from your sin, doesn't mean you're better. It only means that you've got a job to do, and that is,
to get the other person saved, too. (III:102)

Those who never thought they ever had anything to repent of are the ones giving the world the most trouble with their sins
they themselves are blind to. (III:134)

I have cleansed you, saved you from your sins. That doesn't necessarily mean that sin has disappeared altogether, just as
I haven't transformed your bodies yet into eternal and immortal ones.
But it will happen. (III:149)

One thing you cannot do, if you truly want to help, is ignore the sin or laugh it off, because you'll be lying to them, really,
by giving them the false impression that they're alright.
I also need prophets who will show up the sins of the people, who will refuse to compromise and laugh it off. (III:153)

Missing the mark is sin. That's why there's so much sin in the world: they never take time to aim straight and hit the mark
for a change. They never take time to listen and focus on Me, Who could prevent them from missing the mark over and
over again. (III:172)
687
I'm not saying that people should spend time thinking about their sins, but I would recommend that they allow Me to show
them a few of their weaknesses and allow Me to help them overcome them and work on them. And one simply cannot start
overcoming a certain weakness until they become aware of it.
It's something they need to work on! (III:175)

One's own weaknesses and sins and frailties are what the enemy most effectively uses to dissuade people from getting
going in the direction I want them to. They figure it brings out the worst in them, so they'd better lay low and do nothing.
(III:178)

It's not the size of the sin or the weight or amount of it that counts. It's that it's there at all, and I want you to recognize it,
deal with it and face it. (III:187)

Sin is what hinders you from hitting the mark of relieving yourself of the obstacles and distractions that stand between you
and Me. (III:219)

If recognition and admission of your own sins is a prerequisite for Salvation, you can assume that it applies to other areas
of your life as well, such as My blessings or manifestations of My gifts... (III:274)

The only thing that will safeguard you and keep you from evil and that can keep your own sin in your own hearts in check,
is My Spirit, and submitting yourself to Me and My rule and authority. (III:280)

You need to deal with your weakness and find out what it is that made Me allow you to have it, and why it is you're having
to struggle with it. As in everything, there is a purpose for your weaknesses and sins, too.
You can't really love a sinner, if you're not willing to at least temporarily accept him the way he is, including his sin,
knowing that I can deliver him from it. But healing someone from their sins doesn't always happen over night...
Sometimes you're finding yourselves having to put up for quite a while longer with some of your own besetting sins than
you would like, or even someone else's weakness, and you're having to learn to love the sinner, even if he didn't get rid of
his sin yet.
In order to get rid of and overcome certain sins you have to take time to deal with them, and show that you have enough
love for the sinner - including yourself sometimes - to put up with his sin long enough to help find the right cure for it, find
out what's the lesson behind it and the reason I'm allowing it to linger for so long in some cases.
Perhaps I'm using one sin to help you overcome another. Perhaps your laziness is one of My greatest tools to keep your
pride in check, for instance, or jealousy, to keep your self-righteousness in check, and so on.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't continue seeking My help in order to overcome those weaknesses, and it doesn't mean
that you should just passively accept them as "the way you are" and never make an effort to change. But when there is a
weakness that just keeps lingering, sometimes you have to look deeper, and see what else there may be that I want to
show you, besides the usual, surgical method, of "just get a knife and cut it out and good riddance."
Maybe the evil you're focusing on is the lesser of two evils, which I'm using in order to help you get rid of the other one...
Your sin actually helps keep you humble, and it also helps Me to keep you closer to Me.
So, sometimes your "thorn in the flesh" is actually a useful device that can keep in check some other aspect of the ever
present and prevalent sin of pride, or the urge of self to unfold and manifest itself in some great accomplishment, and it
can certainly help to give Me the glory for anything you accomplish in spite of your weakness! (III:311)

Sins and weaknesses are for overcoming and fighting and winning the victory over them.
If you see a weakness in somebody, start seeking a way to try to help them overcome it with My help. If you see the
problem, do something about it, look for a solution, don't just resign in the face of it. (III:318)

Are you humbly going to remember your own sins that I have wisely allowed you to commit, precisely in order to prevent
you from believing that you're better?
"Remember from whence thou are come!" "From dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return." "He remembereth that you
are but dust..." "Ye have come out of the darkness into His marvelous Light."
It turns out that ordinary dirt isn't all that ordinary. It's a highly complex environment and basis for all life and nourishment
to thrive and become possible on this Earth, an extremely thin and extremely precious layer that used to cover the earth
and is now dwindling at a shocking rate.
Even with dirt, you gotta know what you're doin'. And the devil doesn't. He just creates his fake, but it doesn't bring forth
any life. So, you've got to discern between "good dirt" and "bad dirt." Not all dirt is the same.
The good dirt is what I allow in your life. Call it sin, weakness, temptation, trial or testing, sickness, whatever. The bad dirt
is what the devil will try to make out of it, if you discard My good dirt prematurely!
What can originally be good dirt that is necessary to bring forth new life, if you discard it too early and think you don't
need it, can turn into the useless dirt of the enemy: a real problem with self-righteousness and pride, etc., that's going to
be really hard to get rid of.
So, don't prematurely discard the "bad" things, the unpleasant circumstance I allow in your life, and don't try to get rid of it
by force. Chances are you might need that stuff in order to prevent worse trouble from happening to you. Maybe those
little sins are there to keep you humble and keep out the really big ones that really can make life a pain for you! (III:344)

688
Laziness is an enemy that needs to be taken seriously, you cannot underestimate it or take it lightly. You need to confront
it, deal with it, get rid of it, eliminate it and overcome it, just as you would strive against any of the other, perhaps
seemingly "more serious" sins. Laziness isn't any less serious. One of its greatest weapons is that it doesn't seem as
dangerous as other, more obvious sins.
Its just as much rooted in pride as the other sins: You figure, why should you do the work, when someone else can do it.
In other words, you consider them your servants and put yourself above them in your mind, and that's pride.
I have called you to be one another's servants, and laziness hinders your doing exactly that. Laziness eggs you on to
behave like a little king or queen that everybody else has to serve, and it's one of the greatest problem factors with youth
today.
Sin is something that's got to be dealt with.
Just as it wouldn't be love to never change a baby's diaper or never wash him or his clothes, so it isn't love to just let folks
get away with sin, either. (III:347)

I can't save a sinner who doesn't realize he's a sinner. (III:349)

Part of the ugly truth I'm having to reveal to you little by little, is just how much you have allowed the lie to gain access to
your lives.
It makes you seek a better way. If sin leads you down that road, you figure you don't want it anymore, and you'll choose
something better next time. If that's the price of sin, you're not willing to pay it anymore. If that's the kind of power you're
granting the devil over your life by compromise then you figure you'll better stand your ground next time. (III:353)

I "recycle" your sins and convert them into useful lessons, the "fruits of righteousness, which are exercised thereby"
(Heb.12:11). You learn to do better from doing it the wrong way. (III:358)

Remember the importance of forgiveness, the importance to keep on believing in your people, and not allow some little sin
of theirs that you're just as guilty of, to cause you to decide that you're going to quit loving them or believing in them!
Don't commit the sin of ceasing to pray for them (1Sam.12:23), of ceasing to have hope for them, and faith that I can salvage
the situation, no matter how bad! (III:367)

The devil uses every sin available to keep you from loving. Actually, that's the aim of sin: to keep you from loving; to "miss
the goal" is sin, and the goal is love.
Failing to love equals sin. Sin is, when anything other than love becomes more important to you.
anger can keep you from love, by making you easily feel aggravated and annoyed by the quirks of others, causing you to
become impatient with them, or self-righteous, etc.
Laziness can make you think that your own comfort is more important than that of others, causing you to fail to love...
Envy can make you think that what others have should be rightfully yours, causing you to put yourself above them and
thus causing you to fail love...
Hedonism can cause people to think that pleasure is more important than genuine love.
And lust can cause you to never be satisfied with what you have, always thinking that the grass on the other side of the
fence is more important than love...
In effect, all sins and all evil is designed for that purpose, to destroy love. (III:368)

Stop taking others sins so seriously, when I havent paid any significant attention to yours! If you want Me to turn a blind
eye to your faults, mistakes and sins, then I will have to be able to expect the same from you regarding theirs. (III:382)

Its better not to deal excessively with your faults, flaws and sins, and to just keep going right ahead in spite of them.
(Heb.12:1,2) Laying aside the weight and besetting sins sometimes means just to stop paying so much attention to them to
the point where youre being hindered by them, and just look unto Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith, your only
hope of glory.
It is good to be able to be completely honest with yourself. But if what you see in facing yourself merely paralyzes and
stuns you into a state of zero productivity because youre so shocked by it, then its better to just lay all that ugly ego-
business aside, keep looking unto Me and do whats humanly impossible, in spite of all your weaknesses. (III:385)

Digging for a well in the dirt is dirty and hard work, but it brings forth the clean and life-giving water. Its those clean-on-
the-surface hypocrites who never deal with their problems on a truthful basis that are all rotten within, and for whom there
isnt much hope. There is more hope for anyone who knows theyre a mess than for someone who thinks theyre so great.
Its good to become aware of the dirt that you need to be washed clean from. Its important.
It always takes a bigger sinner than yourself to teach you a lesson about your own sin. (III:410)

Never underestimate My Love and mercy! Neither should you ever overestimate the power of evil and sin. There is no evil I
cannot overcome, and no sin My blood can not erase. (III:424)

You may have all these negative qualities and besetting sins, but you believe in My Power to enable you to overcome them,
and thats the kind of power the world wants and needs to see.
One of the first tactics of the enemy to prevent Salvation from happening is to make people blind to their sin, and to the
fact that theyre slaves and captives of their sins and need liberation and Salvation from them.

689
The second tactic is to make those who do see their faults think that theyre absolutely powerless against them, and that
theres nothing anyone could ever do about them, but thats precisely where youre supposed to come in and show them
thats wrong.
There is something that can be done about sin, and the God and Creator of the universe Himself has seen to it that it is
within anyones reach. Basically, all youve got to do is ask Him for help, and the help He did send was Me.
My sacrifice has saved you from the impact that sin would have on you, and the rewards you would reap for your sin.
Some sins are more subtle, and thats what makes them harder to overcome. The first step is always recognizing it and
seeing the need for overcoming it.
Dealing with sin ought to be something as common to do for every man, woman and child as taking care of their physical
cleanliness.
The very word sin is becoming a taboo, and dealing with it something awkward and frowned upon by the majority of
society.
They may have means of dealing with it, like going to confession, if theyre Catholics, or seeing a therapist, if theyre
atheists, and confessing and talking about it may help some (although it doesnt really help to blame it all on somebody
else or some circumstance from your past), but in order to truly overcome sin, it takes going a bit further.
The Devil has many different tricks and devices in order to keep people from observing that outstanding duty, many ways
of preventing them from seeing the need. Either he gets their focus on everybody elses sin (self-righteousness), or he
distracts them with physical matters, making them blind to spiritual issues (materialism), or he makes them hopelessly
resign to their fate (discouragement), all of which are distortions of the truth, which would make you free (See John 8).
I am here to set you free from your sin on a daily basis, and you need to realize that. Youve got to deal with your sin,
together with Me. You can let Me be your Therapist or your Priest taking your confession, Ill be all that and more to you.
You want to make progress and headway in overcoming your besetting sins, and I can help you with that. In fact, I want to,
and thats one of the major purposes our relationship is all about.
The purpose is to replace worldly ambitions with a genuine desire to seek first whats best for My Kingdom, namely how to
get others saved. Weve got to get the world saved. We cant just letem go down the drain. We just cant. Weve got to do
something about it! And sin is what hinders you from doing just that (III:429)

Its when you get your eyes off the Creator and instead become too obsessed with creation, and you start worshiping the
creation instead of the Creator, that sin gets in and contaminates and ruins something that could have been pure. (III:439)

It remains one of the factors about human nature that the thing you can see the least is your own faults, your own sin and
your own blame in a matter. (III:440)

It took the eyes of faith to realize My true ministry: to save the Jews from greater bondage than that of Roman occupation,
namely the bondage of sin. (III:453)

A lack and failure to invest in others lives what youve been given would be the selfish thing to do! To do nothing would be
the real sin, and the really bad and outrageous thing to do! Thats what the whole parable of the talents is all about. Its a
lesson for those who think theyd rather do nothing than even take a slight risk at doing the wrong thing. To do nothing
when youve been given so much to do good with, is a sin! To withhold when it is within your capacity to give, is wrong.
(III:455)

Not to do good when youre capable of it, is a sin. (III:460)

It seems kind of unfair that you are having to pay the consequences for that one slip of Adam and Eve, when they couldnt
resist temptation. But believe Me when I say, it would have happened to any of you.
The consequence of sin needs to be learned. (III:501)

If you can teach people to deal with their sins and their faults, and help them to see them and work on overcoming them,
making it something as natural as brushing their teeth or taking a shower, that would be a major breakthrough for My
Cause. (III:504)

There comes a time when everyone will have to reflect about sins and mistakes.
Say you are some kind of a prisoner in the situation youre in. Would you know what youre doing time for? Do you know
why youre there? Are you aware of the mistakes you made, the crimes or sins you have committed, the hurt you have
caused others? Do you think the disciplinary measures might possibly be justified?
Thats basically how it is in life: you encounter unpleasant circumstances, and you consider them unjustified, as if you
deserved better than that. But do you, really? If you believe in My love and justice, cant you also believe and assume that
the circumstances I am allowing to befall you are the precise set that you deserve and need in order to deal with your
mistakes and learn something from them?
The wrong attitude to have would be not seeing your sin and guilt and thus not being able to learn anything out of life and
lifes circumstances. (III:512)

Doing nothing can be one of the worst type of sins anyone can commit, especially when you know how to do good and do
it not. (III:526)

Your sins are a temporal matter, and I look at the eternal. (III:552)
690
Isnt it good to find out that no matter how low you sink, you can still never be too bad for Jesus? Isnt it good to know
that no matter how badly youll sin and fail, Salvation always works, even for the worst of sinners? (III:564)

No matter what sort of excuse you will give for your sins, it wont hold ground, and it wont clear you of having to pay the
consequences.
Nobody will be able to stand before Me and justify themselves and clear themselves of their sin or failures. Not by all their
trying to do so.
The easiest and quickest way to be forgiven is to be willing to admit their sin and admit that they need help, instead of
lying and pretending theyre doing just fine without it, which is pride. (IV:25)

A lack of love for a Christian is always a disadvantage and a sin, because it is My commandment for you to love others.
(IV:26)

There is no such thing as a sinless saint on Earth. As long as youre in this life, you keep sinning, and all My saints, great
and small, were sinning saints until the day that they died or I whisked them out of this world
There may come a time when you will have learned to have a greater grip on your sin and control the extent of its power
over you, perhaps even to the point where it may seem to others as if you were practically sinless, but you and I will
always know better.
After all, I also use your sins and mistakes to keep you humble and teach you important lessons, and they work for Me in
that way. (IV:67)

One of mans great sins is his presumption that his conclusions, opinions and concoctions of his mind are true and just,
when sadly, in most cases, nothing could be further from the truth. (IV:81)

By allowing sin to enter into the world, man has allowed all of creation to be infected by a virus that is threatening to
destroy it, except that I wont let it happen. (IV:237)

Everyone does that aplenty what is called sin, and it happens every day in everyones life, manifold. The goal is to reduce that
amount of sin, but you cant just do that without My Power, My Love within you, which is the only right and effective motivation
that can ever keep you from sinning (IV:313)

Its not like theres an easy solution to everything. You sometimes blame Me for not just taking the weakness from you or
curing you from it, but thats not really how it works with such things.
What Im basically telling mankind is that they have to live with sin, since they so easily invited it into this world, and if I
have to live with it, look at it, bear it and tolerate it, perhaps even learn to accept it to some degree temporarily, that is
then so should you.
Your focus shouldnt be so much on the sin, on the blackness and darkness, but on the solution, the cure, My Light and
Love.
If I have a chance to live and dwell in you enough, Ill get around to dealing with that problem in My own time, and
eventually, I promise you, well get rid of it. But in the meantime I will use it to keep you humble, teach you sympathy and
understanding for the sinners I want you to reach, and to show you just how much you still need Me. (IV:346)

Many people are motivated and dominated by envy and covetousness.

Most folks think its alright to be that way, but you know that these human qualities are actually sins. Why are they sins?
Because they keep you from attaining the real goal and target in life, which is what sin means: missing the mark.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood fighting against sin. (Heb.12:4)
All those sins that people yield to and make the driving forces and motivations in their lives, I want you to resist them and
fight them! (IV:516)

The one suffering most from your sins is yourself, and its already a punishment in itself, so you can be pretty confident
that youll make it safely to the other end of this journey, and I will protect and care for you. (11:20)

I cant preserve you or keep you from temptation and sin. I can only save you from the mess that the result of them are
going to get you in. (11:40)

While simple folks have their flaws, in My eyes, the greater sin lies with those who really ought to know better. (11:99)

The act of bearing all the sins of mankind on the cross made me a closer and more intimate part of you than youre often
aware of. It means, in other words, you cant shock Me with anything that you might do or have done. I know it, because I
carried the guilt of that sin in My own flesh. (11:112)

Why always keep staring at what those exceptional other few have got, and what you dont have? Why fall into the trap of
envy? (11:139)

A lot of people dont want to be liberated, especially not from their sins, the most stubborn excess weight people tend to
carry around through life
691
Thats in essence the gist of the often misunderstood phrase, Go and sin no more! In other words, You dont have to do
this anymore! You are free now! It wont have that grip on you anymore, if you believe Me.
But of course I can only liberate folks to the degree theyre willing to be liberated.
He that commits sin is the slave of sin. If you want to be free, you need to give it up, and youll find that your life wont be
such a mess anymore.
Every bad, selfish, negative choice (= sin) you make in life is a minus.
How on earth the devil has managed to make those minuses look so much more attractive to most peoples minds? Its a
matter of mindset. (11:151)

I detest it when outward cleanliness becomes the major concern and folks ignore the inward filth of their sins. (2012:48)

Those little voices in your head that you ought to know by now where theyre coming from, tell you all that youre missing
out on, and how much greener the grass is on the other side, and you ought to take matters into your own hand, trust in
your own reasoning, rather than Mine, and whoops, thats how sin is born. (2012:59)

Its the realization of your own sinfulness that leads to Salvation, since it makes you aware of your need for it in the first
place.
The humility of accepting youre a sinner and taking the responsibility for your mistakes yourself, along with the
acceptance of your circumstances (unless Ive definitely put it in your heart to do something to change them) with the
conclusion that you probably dont deserve any better is the kind of attitude that could potentially make this world a better
place. (2012:62)

All things are connected somehow; and yet, there is also a great separation and division in creation.
Theyre disconnected from Me, and in large part, from each other and all of creation, by lies and selfishness, hatred and
well, basically, all that can be called sin.
Its not given you to play along in their game long enough to become a part of it; lest you become guilty of their same sins of
doing nothing, when evil is being used in order to further anyones own advantage. (2012:106)

The sins of mankind made Me a closer and more intimate part of you than youre often aware of. It means, in other words,
you cant shock Me with anything that you might do or have done. I know it, because I carried the guilt of that sin in My
own flesh. (2012:112)

Where sin doth abound, there grace doth much more abound (see Rom.5:20). Which doesnt mean that you should
deliberately sin to obtain more grace, but I like to prove and demonstrate My mercy, its greatness and sheer endlessness,
by always being there for you, anyway, as a ray of hope for others.
Everybody knows that God loves the good. What is really good news for most, though, is that He also loves the sinners;
and if more people knew that, a lot of misery in the world could be reduced. (2012:126)

Self-righteousness is one of the greatest evils to tackle the one that was ultimately responsible for My death: The
greatest evil of man, used by God to bring about mankinds salvation from sin.
Religious and religiously inclined people are among the most prone to self-righteousness. They figure theyve got God on
their side, and so theyre good, and in some ways that may be true, but what they dont realize is that just being saved or
on Gods side doesnt save them from doing wrong or committing sin of any kind, and it tends to blind them to even the
very possibility that they might be wrong about anything in some cases. (2012:161)

The better you are at overcoming your own evil and sins, the better you should also be able to deal with and handle the
evil potentially inflicted on you at the hand of others, since youre going to be stronger, more in tune with Me and more
alert in the spirit. (2012:166)

You are what you are, not what you accomplish. While what you do defines you, youve got to be fair, and take all that you
do into that equation, not just point out and boast of your good works, but also take into account your failures,
shortcomings and sins. How much is left of your good deeds when weighed against all that?
For many people, their good deeds and great achievements are only distractions and ways to avoid confronting and
dealing with their own shortcomings and sins.
In nowadays Christianity they like to hide and cover up the sins of their saints and heroes, instead of like the Bible did point
them out as lessons for everyone to learn from. It creates the illusion that heroes and saints have got to be perfect, and so those
who want to attain to such a status believe that theyve got to be perfect, too, and since that cant realistically be done, they try to
get there by cheating, denial and deception. (2012:177)

By allowing sin to enter in, you can wreck and ruin any paradise. Thats why Ive got to make sure that every generation of
believers learns this lesson for themselves and from experience.
Most folks dont get exactly what happened with Adam and Eve anyway
The biggest problem is actually with people not being aware enough, or even at all, of their own sins, their own potential
pitfalls, shortcomings, the temptations they are prone to yield to, their weaknesses. (2012:182)

I expect from you i a minimum amount of etiquette and decent behavior, so that no one needs to be ashamed of your
presence and the way you act, and some sort of effort to not come across like any other vile sinner.
692
After all, My having saved you from the consequences of your sins in the Hereafter should warrant some degree of an
effort to do better and sin no more, dont you think? - Just as sort of a token of your gratitude?
Im certainly not expecting or demanding sinless perfection, all I ask is for an effort to do a little bit better! (2013:20)

If youve tasted My redemption and partaken of the price Ive paid with My blood, its over, finished, done, and theres
nothing left for you to worry about, as far as your death is concerned, or rather, your life in the Hereafter
Its going to be infinitely better than what youve come to know this far in any scenario, regardless of your sins.
I am capable of My job as a Savior and Redeemer, which means I can save and redeem you for any sin and wont need your
help with it, trying to redeem yourself. (2013:49)

Maybe youre learning a bit more to resist sin in life Perhaps learning how much its worth it because theres more of it
than you thought. Remember? And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the power and the
glory
It takes something to resist sin, the temptation of evil. Sometimes the other problems in life hinder you and occupy you
more money problems or other trouble But to resist sin and temptations would go a lot further and take you closer to
where you belong (2014:53)

What it does risk, the committing sin for believers in life, is to receive spankings from the Father for it.
If you commit sins, youre going to have to put up with the fact that the Father will have to deal somehow with it, mostly
during your life, or making you help others thereafter (2014:105)

Its a bit hard to accept the toughness and hardness of life as a spanking when ones not used to dealing with their own sin
and wrong-doing, not even really aware of it (2014:122)

Sometimes, when you start to sin, it might cause you to do other, and better things to make up for it! (2014:132)

The greatest thing to learn in life is to overcome ones sins and manage to jive into the ways of love, instead.
If you can make it with love instead of fear, pride, laziness, stinginess, lying, greed, lust and the other main sins of natural
human nature, well, then youre making it to really get prepared for Heaven and the Hereafter in Gods Kingdom.
Anyone who allows love to overcome their main traits and major natural sin is a winner as far as the God of Love is
concerned. (2014:183)

Sometimes it pays to stay on the straight and narrow path to stay on the attack, and on the defense against the enemys
influences, otherwise hell get his rights against you, to make you suffer for sins he tempted you to commit. These are
lessons of life lessons that pay to make the effort to better learn them.
If you make the mistakes that let him win over you well, thats the hard way to learn, but usually (and should be)
something youll never forget.
If you make mistakes like that, they should keep you on the alert, never to let the enemy win such advantages against you.
(2015:29)

Theres a part of life that makes one deal with their own sins.
But nobodys perfect, and having to deal with the results of ones sins and spiritual weaknesses are part of life, at least for
those who are hoping for a better Hereafter and chose to believe, since the others will reap what theyve sown, elsewhere.
Some have to deal with their punishment in this life, and the others in the hereafter. Going to Heaven is definitely a better
Hereafter, but you might have to deal with the results of your sins in the here and now (2015:58)

Theyre sinners, youre a sinner everyone down there is, so why not just do the best you can to get along? (2015:111)

Try to get rid of the sins that are causing you to have to go through unpleasant situations as a result, and discover the
positive difference it will make in your life! (2015:148)

Knowing youre a sinner should largely keep you humbler! (2015:161)

If youre going through some rough times, just bear with having to pay for some of the sins you committed and mistakes
you made, yourself! Especially when you can tell that the tough times upon the rest of the world are already coming soon
to let unbelievers reap what theyve sown.
See, if Jonah was swallowed by the whale when he decided not to go to Nineveh to warn its folks of the impending
punishment for their sins, he was the one being punished first which shows that My folks do get the punishment for their
sins first, before the rest of the world gets judged for theirs.
So, it doesnt have a very welcome or desirable result when you follow in the ways of the world, and do things that cannot
be blessed by Me, nor the Father. (2015:169)

I and your helpers from Up Here can teach you some of the qualities youre lacking, and help you to overcome those
weaknesses based on sin, like anger, impatience, and whatever plagues you! (2016:1)

Remember that the sin of pride must be based on a lie that youre better than you actually are! (2016:16)

693
The life of sin, as it is, will help to make folks appreciate whats coming thereafter, if they receive it, and teach mankind the
necessary lessons about it what not to do, and do instead. (2016:65)

One of the toughest challenges to cope with for My followers is the confrontation with and according results of their
own wrong-doings basically, sins acts of disobedience toward the Father, along with the basic knowledge that you
should be doing better. Having to cope with the results the lack of blessings, comparatively measured with the amount
and greater increase of blessings when utterly obedient is a tough one to cope with. But you have to realize that ultimately
the decision to cut out sinful behaviors is entirely up to you. (2016:114)

If life becomes a nightmare, dont blame it on Me, but correct your own failures to obey Me and the heavenly rules, which
in three letters spells sin.
Thats what sin is: disobedience toward the Rules from Above.
To disobey the health rules against your body, a temple for Gods Spirit, resembles sin which cannot go on without results,
which means: correction and punishment. (2016:124)

Becoming aware of your sins and shortcomings is something that should help you strengthen your forgiveness toward
those around you, when you realize what amount of mercy and forgiveness the Father and I have to bestow on you.
Pray for the disability to see and focus on the faults of others, in order to get rid of the much greater weakness and worse
besetting sin of self-righteousness! (2016:135)

The state of sin is wider spread than you can fathom and with some its even more difficult to be aware of theirs, since
theyre the more hidden kind. The obvious ones are prone to keep the sinners a bit humbler. Apart from that, it removes
any notion of goodness, and thus, obvious sinners are a bit humbler and less self-righteous.
Greater faith is needed to make it in spite of being a tremendous sinner.
Just remember: being a sinner ought to keep you humbler, and in less danger of becoming self-righteous the worst sin
of My enemies responsible for My death.
So, remember that, if it was self-righteousness of His enemies that slayed the Son of God, being kept humbler as an
obvious sinner might yet be safer!
The greater the weaknesses and sins, the greater the challenge for Me to make something useful and fruitful out of you in
spite of it all and the more of the glory goes where it belongs. (2016:198)

Remember that Im at your side despite your sins and occasional negative moods! (17:8)

Who wants to be saved from the results of their sins?

When the egos the most important part of someone, theres little chance for them to spot their own wrongdoings and sins,
and thus the need for Salvation from their eventual effects and causes. (17:102)

With the times getting darker and closer toward the end, and the enemy, the introducer of sin about to take on his ultimate
power, the level of sin is also rising to unprecedented levels So, dont be too shocked by the fact that kids are becoming
harder and tougher to raise than decades ago! (17:120)

Sometimes the victory over besetting sins is the first thing you need to get in order to make any genuine progress. (17:137)

Remember from My own history down there, that Ive had a lot more success with sinners than the self-righteous who
ultimately had Me killed (17:147)

694
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Spiritual Warfare

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Ephesians 6:12

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds. 2Cor.10:4

Angels have been working overtime to get you where you are, innumerable battles had to be won, and the enemy has
fought long and hard and furious. Youve finally gained enough experience to recognize his traps.
Now that youve learned to fend for yourself, take the next step and learn to defend, protect and liberate others!
Go forth in the power of My might! Win, fight, conquer! Going forth to conquer and to conquer! Be counted amongst My
Gideons band of the Last Days! (I:10)

The simple act of drinking in and receiving and believing the Word is already an active part of fighting the devil, as you will
defeat doubts, thoughts of the enemy, clearing out his cobwebs and keeping your mind and heart clean of any of his dirt.
(I:12)

Some battles are for the sole purpose of having you learn to rely only and wholly on Me nothing and no one else. (I:28)

My Word will restore light where there was a gray hazy mist of lies, it will be a bright beacon on your path, a clashing
sword in battle. Its like the sword Excalibur, which wins every battle, as long as its wielded. As long as you lash out at the
Enemy, youre bound to win. (I:63)

The secret, hidden real force of this army lies beneath the surface, or rather, above the wavelength of that which is
perceivable to mortals.
Come and fight with us and well introduce you to the newest, most sophisticated equipment, artillery and vehicles any
military body in the whole universe has ever known. Well let you partake in our intelligence and fill you in on important
details as to what the Enemys next moves are going to be, how you should prepare, what pitfalls to guard against. Well
equip you with technology that makes the mere word technology sound pre-historical! (I:65)

With every battle you gain strength and grow stronger in faith, in the wielding of your weapons, in your desperation and
closeness with Me, in ignoring the circumstances. (I:72)

(Spirit helper:) No matter who or what is opposing you, its no match for the Lord.
Imagine you were a general of a great army, and your own children were constantly flirting with the enemy! Wouldnt this
grieve you unbearably and almost drive you insane? Especially because you would know that the enemy only seeks to
destroy them, to inflict harm on them, and tear them down to defeat. It hurts when they dont see it. All they see is that the
enemys soldiers have much funkier uniforms, and they would like to just have fun sometimes and forget about this old
war. (I:79)

Youre the enemies of state no. 1, as far as the devil is concerned, for he knows you will rip the kingdoms of this Earth
from him in due time, for you are ushering in, announcing and proclaiming the coming of My Kingdom!
In a way you are spies for the future government, infiltrators of the usurpers government, which will soon rightfully be re-
claimed and conquered by Me, with your help, but you can bet hes not just gonna stand by and watch. (I:85)

I send you out like Don Quixote and Sancho Pansa, to battle the windmill giants who are turning the wheels of fortune in
this world. Now you must show whether you have the guts to resist unto blood.
So, be not entangled in the affairs of this life, for this is battle time! (I:95)

Be a spiritually violent and forceful warrior, tearing down the Devils strongholds in the hearts of the children of men.
No more cowardly and weakly chickening out and backing up at the slightest show and display of reluctance and
resistance, okay? Attack the goal and the foe before you head on! Race toward the mark of the prize! Move forward! Dont
retreat! No surrender! Not an inch! Okay? Thats the Spirit! (I:101)

How can My soldiers be fighting wholeheartedly when they dont really hate their enemy? (I:104)

Sometimes you have to seek and search in the spirit for the cause of your problems, and then I can reveal the culprit, the
perpetrator, the responsible root of evil to you, and it becomes your target, and then you fire away!
695
You are continuously under attack by an invisible foe, but with My help and through My Spirit, you can locate them,
pinpoint them, and through the weapons Ive given you, liquidate them, annihilate them, and get rid of them! The power I
have given you is always greater than that of the enemy!
Unfortunately, a battle is often lost because you fail to recognize and pin down your enemy!
Its expedient, absolutely necessary, that you win the victory over your spiritual enemy first, before you can seriously
consider making any real spiritual progress.
So, get the victory first thing before you do anything else: get a hold of Me and let Me annihilate the devil for you! Let Me
practice My sharp-shooting skill a little bit, by helping you to focus on your target everyday, pull the trigger and shoot the
balloons of the devils bluffs and scare tactics for you.
Half the victory is already won once you recognize and detect their presence or approach. Dont let them cheat you out of
the joy and happiness I could give you everyday by simply ignoring them or pretending theyre not there or hoping theyll
just go away. Thats one way how not to win the victory: hoping theyll just go away. Unless you show them Whos the
Boss and that youre no quitter, but an adversary to be reckoned with, theyll always come back and torment you when you
least need it.
Fight, beloved, for this is what you were born and called to do: to be fighters for Me, warriors to make the Devil tremble. -
Liberators of your entrapped and captive brethren. - Guerrillas of the spirit who will beat the hell out of the wicked forces
of the foe with the new weapons.
Youll have to fight your way through to victory.
If I would just give you the reward without you having to fight for it, you would never appreciate it as much as once you will
have bled and fought for dear life over it! (I:127)

Say, Thank You, Jesus, for this new battle, for this new challenge, for this new and strange adversary or obstacle to tackle!
It is a good day to die! Hallelujah! And roar a battle cry thats going to send shivers down the Enemys back! Let him know
youre on your feet and a force to be reckoned with today, that hed better clear your path, or hes going to wish he had!
Thats the spirit of a warrior! Thats the attitude of a victor!
So many cower in fright or in a state of near-defeat, hoping the Enemy wont come near them.
Youve got the priceless opportunity to be My knight in shining armor who stands in the gap and rescues them and gets
them out of the Devils dark dungeon of defeat. - One to rally them together with a battle cry and to renew their hope and
courage, their will to fight. (I:152)

You have never lived as intensely and as thoroughly and as fully as when you've been out there on the battle field, fighting
for the souls of men, beckoning them to enter My Kingdom and shooting My bullets of light and life into the Devil's
territory and land of the dead.
Demons can't stand the sight of a victor, the shine of a Lord-sharer, the conviction of a cross-bearer, the umph of an
overcomer, the mercy of a missionary, nor to get into the way of a warrior for Me (Dan.12:3)! (I:158)

The Devil may stand in front of you and sneer, What do you think youre 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 cant see
what he sees. That torch youre wielding is a searing hot weapon that makes his demons squeal and run, and he knows the
only chance he has of stopping you is to bluff you into thinking it doesnt really amount to much after all. (I:167)

So far, the problems and enemies youve had to battle, were your own, but the next grade of this school is to learn to
overcome the enemies and problems others are battling with.
Dont give up on them, but have faith for them, pray for them, fight for them.
Rejoice over the glorious opportunity of a new battle to win for Me! Thats the spirit of a warrior! Thats the kind of soldier
Im going to be able to be proud of. (I:174)

Youve got all hell fighting you once you decide to serve Me, but its not like Im leaving you helpless or defenseless.
Youve got to have a fighter nature in order to make it. (I:196)

Youre fighting against powerful enemies! It requires sobriety and shunning any kind of foolishness and shallowness. Be
free to be the real you, and thats a serious fighter!
Were at serious business here, fighting a serious war for a serious cause with a lot at stake. Those fates of countless
human lives you are wrestling for are nothing to be taken lightly. (I:208)

Youve got to find your own personal Mr. Smith, who is belittling and 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 its useless? Youve 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, and then look him in the eye, and say defiantly, Because I chose to! Because this is what
Im born to do: I am destined to fight and lick you bastard, Im destined to win! (I:220)

You have many enemies. And youve got to fight them one by one. They know they cant 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 cant 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!

696
Theyre only the infantry. Next come the archers, then the spear fighters and finally the horsemen. Or in terms of modern
warfare: next are the tanks, then the planes and finally the missiles.
What the Punk isnt realizing, is that with each battle, beloved, youre growing stronger. And with every new upgrade and
weapon he tries on you, you grow stronger and develop ever greater resistance against him. They will finally realize that
they wont have a chance against you from the spiritual realm anymore, and will see their last resort in attacking you in the
physical during the Tribulation, and thats right where I want them. He thinks youre the mice and hes the cat, when all
along, youre only the bait to trap him into the physical world, where we will be able to finally annihilate his whole system.
Hes going to find out that in chasing you, hes bitten off more than he can chew. (I:221)

Im going to use you in your different capacities to win the war, each with different modi operandi, different views,
attitudes, motives and tactics. According to personal choices and even mistakes, circumstances can change. What counts
is that the war is being won, not who gets the greatest credit or glory.
Whats important is that there is sufficient unity, loyalty, mutual respect and love for the cause that you win the war and
make it happen. (I:222)

There comes a point where the person youre trying to save determines to give you their co-operation and start fighting for
themselves or theyre going to have to be left behind. You cant risk the whole mission, the whole troupe all the time over
one person who refuses to get the victory! (I:234)

You wouldnt send a handicapped or sick person to the battle front in a war. If youre going to be My frontline soldiers and
Endtime warriors, youre going to have to be cured first, or at least be rid of that piece of shrapnel, that bullet or tip of an
arrow thats still stuck in your wound.
Then youll have to stop the bleeding, pray for a quick healing, get some rest and re-filling, a clear vision, and then you can
join in the fray again.
Youve got to get rid of some of your excess weight and baggage, and some of your inappropriate habits and attitudes that
dont come in handy when fighting a war.
I need reliable soldiers who will fulfill their duty, regardless of whether they feel like it or not... (I:235)

Im allowing this fight to make you stronger, cleaner and more convinced of the truth you believe in than ever before! This
is causing our connection to be strengthened incredibly, and one day you will look back at this challenge with rejoicing
and triumph!
Keep thanking and praising Me for this battle, as bleak as it may seem, for out of it you shall emerge more victorious and
stronger, purer and more upright in heart than ever glowing with the light of one who has been tried in the fire of God!
(I:308)

The problem in battling demons is, you cannot focus on the victim, as they will often not even accept your help; you must
focus on Me, on the power, to get rid of the enemy! Its up to you then to pray and uphold the spiritual standard and not get
sucked into the vortex of downhill movement they would often like to drag you into. You must not allow yourself to be
pulled down to their level when theyre under demonic influence! You must stay strong and focused on Me!
The spiritual attacks are intensifying, and you must strengthen and adapt your battle mode accordingly! (I:325)

I want you to learn spiritual warfare, and that just simply isnt achieved by curling up and feeling condemned every time
these demons are being confronted! Its not your fault theyre attacking you! You are children of light, youre active forces
for Me in gross darkness, so, of course, youre the Enemys targets! Youre his primary targets, because, weak as you are,
you are My brightest lights, piercing and penetrating his thick darkness. So, all you can do is fight! You can run, but you
cannot hide! So, sooner or later, youre going to have to confront them, pull out your swords and fight! Theyve got no
chance against your weapons. Youre an unbeatable foe! But theyre also quite aggressive in the first place, trying to
intimidate you with fear or condemnation! But you must know theyre only bluffing! You must see through their
intimidation strategy and call their bluff! The only chance they have is in intimidating you, hypnotizing you with their
gruesome illusions, paralyzing and stunning you with fear or weakening you with condemnation or depression. But if you
take up your shield of faith, which acts like a gas mask against his poisonous gases of deceit, standing on My promises
that you are victorious as long as you fight, call on My help and start wielding those weapons, they dont stand a chance...
Theyre going to be the ones running.
They attack whoever is in the weaker state. Since youre getting all soaked up in the veneer of My Word, they see they
dont stand much of a chance against you, but they know they can still attack you through other people, and have them
poke around in your weak spots, your temper, impatience and anger. You must see that its not the person fighting you, but
the enemy through them, so look past the person and deal with and address the Enemy, the spirit thats using them to
attack you!
With a little bit of spiritual insight and fighting skill and knowledge of tactic and strategy, this whole fighting business
takes on a whole different angle, doesnt it? Its fun to fight when you know youre actually the stronger one. And you
always are, because I in you am stronger than all the Enemys forces combined! I have overcome them all, Im their living
doom, and so are you, as long as you let Me think and live and move in you! All the devil can do is try to distract you, bluff
and deceive you try to get your focus off Me for a moment. But he knows he doesnt stand a chance for real as long as
you refuse to take your focus and glance off Me. As long as you keep your connection strong with Me, hes the loser
always!
Fight for your unity together. The devil can only get in through wedges and loopholes in your armor, like selfishness, pride,
fear, suspicions, etc. (I:326)
697
Im allowing this battle to show you how much the spiritual affects your lives, and how much more seriously you should
take the task of preparing and arming yourselves with the Word. (I:328)

Sorry if you thought the war was over just because you won one minor, initial battle. The Enemy will always come back in
greater force than before, when he has been defeated in an area. He doesnt give up so easily. But as long as you choose
to fight him back, youre victorious. The only way he can win is if he can get you to quit and give up...
Prayer and fasting clearly demonstrates that you believe that the battle and the cause are a spiritual one. Youre not
intending to fight it in the flesh, but by being willing to weaken the flesh in order to grow stronger in spirit.
You can only counter spirit with spirit. Spirits laugh at any attempts of the flesh to combat them. Only spirit can combat
spirit. Dont try to go about it with any form of natural reasoning, or theyll laugh in your face. (I:345)

Its a war, and you never know when the enemy will send out a party to raid your haven and deal you a mortal blow, so, it
pays to stay on guard!
The enemy knows who his most dangerous and potentially powerful opponents are, so, hes not going to send out his
troops to attack those who are spiritually asleep, but those who are a menace and a threat to his kingdom. (I:389)

Ignoring someones problem altogether is not love, and you can always at least pray for someone when theyre battling.
Fight for one another! Sometimes youve got to fight for a brother or sister in order not to lose them, and not just
indifferently let them go down the drain, thinking, Well, its their own fault...
Take this war seriously! Dont look at those who have turned aside! Im dealing with them in My own way! What is that to
thee?
The enemy is on your heels! Its a situation not to be taken lightly. He knows youre a serious threat to him, and that his
only chance is for you to let up your guard and stop taking this seriously. (I:390)

It's easy to fall into a state of truce with the enemy. It all sounds so reasonable. "Why should we rock the boat? Why
should we challenge and aggravate the enemy unnecessarily? Why risk any further problems?"
The problem is, if you don't go out to attack the enemy on his territory, he will come and attack you on yours, and usually
has an easy time invading your grounds, because he already knows you're not much of a fighter in the first place. After all,
otherwise, you'd be out on his grounds, trying to snatch souls out of his clutches!
The enemy is fighting like mad to keep you busy with relationship problems and other affairs of the physical realm, so
busy that there isn't much time to dedicate to the spiritual warfare anymore. You just barely manage to defend yourselves,
and thus won't inflict any harm on the devil's kingdom and he's happy and satisfied. "Mission accomplished!"
The enemy has lured and enticed so many, lulled them to sleep with his poisonous gas into a compromising state of
peaceful coexistence with him, that they really don't present much of a challenge to the System. He knows he has
practically won the war by peace! "He shall destroy many by peace (Dan.8:25)." (I:405)

Now it's the time to shake off the weights that held you down, and really put the weapons to use I have given you! Time to
sound the battle cry! No longer will we defend our ranks passively from the Enemy's attacks, hoping we will survive them
the best we can, with the least amount of casualties and wounded possible, but we will go on the attack and make the
Enemy tremble!
I have been raising a new army, a new generation of fighters out of the old.
The armies of heaven are on the move and marching. The time has come to attack! Some of you, whose eyes have not yet
been opened in the spirit, are still oblivious to what's going on all around you in the spirit, and all you see is the shiny
wagons, armor and weapons of the enemy. "Surely, surrender is our only hope," you think. But just like Elisha prayed for
his servant to open his eyes so that he could see that more were with them that day, than with the enemy, so you, whose
spiritual ears and eyes are already more attuned to My heavenly Realm, must pray for those who can't see yet. (I:406)

Sometimes it's easy to focus on the negative, especially during times of battle. I mean, what's so cheerful about a battle
field? There's blood and guts all around you, pain and death, hellish noises of weapons and bullets flying around your
ears, your wounded comrades... Not much positive to look at, except by the miracle of faith: to see the victory in the midst
of battle, the reward and the glory of triumph in the midst of gross suffering and fighting all around you!
The reason some of you are not gaining ground as you should is because you have not yet spent the necessary amount of
time to learn to wield them properly in the enemy's face, which is why he's attacking you so ferociously right now, because
he knows it's going to be his last chance. Once you will have learned how to use them properly, he knows he's done for
and he won't stand a chance against you!
Thus, these attacks are also serving Me, because they drive home to you the importance of learning to battle properly. You
know that this is not just a vacation but a war; that all that talk about battle is not just an allegory or a fairy tale, but hard
core reality! See it like this, from this positive angle: without all these battles, you might still doubt whether all this is really
the truth, but the battles just prove that what I am saying in My Word is true.
Let the enemy know that you're not going to be easy prey! Be prepared to battle! Be on guard constantly! There's a battle
going on that will determine your future. Don't let the enemy out of your eyes for an instant, always be aware that his next
attack might be coming at any moment, and don't just fend off his attacks on you, but take the initiative and go on the
attack!
I'm so desperately in need of fighters, warriors, soldiers, people who are not drifting around in complacency, but are fully
aware of the fight and who take it seriously and who take the time to study and learn how to fight, so that they might

698
become skilled in the techniques of war! There's nothing that pleases Me more than a positive declaration of your faith that
you are determined to fight this war and not only are you going to fight it, but you're also going to win it.
Even though you're often closer to defeat than victory, at least you're fighting, and you're gaining more and more
experience in your fighting, you're not just silently tolerating the Enemy in some corner of your lives, but you're serious
about having him exposed and expelled and cast out of your midst, overcome, defeated, finished, exterminated! All those
who hate the enemy are specially loved by Me, because they have made it clear they are standing on My side and are not
going to give in to compromise. Nothing will drive My army closer to defeat than compromise with the Enemy.
It's so cowardly, because you're actually giving in to a weaker enemy, who knows he would have been defeated by you if
you would have just kept fighting, but he lured you into a peaceful coexistence with him.
Go forth in My name and nothing shall be able to withstand thee! Go forth! March! Attack! In the might and power of the
Spirit which conquers all.
You've got to advance, you cannot lay back and let the enemy gain any more territory! Now is the time to hit him back, to
strike back, to counterattack and force him to withdraw! (I:428)

If you've been freed from the Matrix, "unplugged", saved, your life is a constant war against the agents of the Devil, and
often you don't feel like fighting at all, and you feel like, "Plug me back in! I don't want to fight! Give me some kind of lie or
half-truth, so that I can live in peace again, so that I don't have to fight this ugly war anymore!"
Never a statement in a film depicted so clearly what I want My prophets to do: just offer the truth. Those who seek it and
want it and love it, will receive it, including all its ugliness. They'll just be happy to be freed from the lie, even if the life
they'll be living for the truth will be one of hardship, of sacrifice and of foregoing many pleasures the easy, selfish life of
the Matrix had to offer, and even if it means constant war. (I:430)

Fearlessly fight the Enemy as one who is truly willing to die for his cause, for that's the kind of foe that the Enemy cannot
stop. He cannot intimidate one who refuses to cower or be frightened by his bluffs. Any attempts of his to stop you, you
must see through them as bluffs. (I:454)

Learning to aim straight and even to discern and recognize your true enemy takes time and skill and experience, with all
the tactics of deceit and camouflage he applies.
It takes time to learn the skills of spiritual warfare. (I:473)

A true fighter will always miss the fight during a period of truce or peace with the enemy...
No victory without a battle, no triumph without a trial... Look at the reward! Look at the desperation and the closeness to
Me you gained through fighting!
Aren't these battles precisely what's making you what you are destined to be?
Real fighters keep their eyes on the reward and the glorious crown ahead, not on the temporary struggle, pain and fight!
The victory is all that matters! That total closeness to Me I have promised to My overcomers! That secret access to My very
heart. Let those who will settle for less, settle for less, but the true overcomers would rather die than give up.
"Surrender? Hell no! We haven't even yet begun to fight!" (I:482)

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 and hinder, to divide and conquer and destroy your unity.
Watch out for the Devil's traps! He knows where your weak spots are and when you're most vulnerable. (I:491)

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 and
stay in close communication with Me to help you overcome that evil, to withstand it, to resist it, and that I might deliver you
from it. It's nothing to be ashamed of, nothing really weird or odd or terrible, it's daily life on the battlegrounds of this
World. Evil is bound to attack you, oppress you and harass you, and you've just got to stay on guard and vigilant against it
on all sides. The enemy will always seek for the weakest link in your chain and target that. If one regains strength, he'll
pick the other, next weakest link.
The wrong thing to do when someone gets attacked is to self-righteously point their finger at them or to turn your back on
them. The right thing to do is to show them unconditional love and keep praying for them, "Deliver us from evil." (I:501)

The best thing you can do when someone is being attacked is to stop everything and pray until they've got the victory!
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 and have come out alive, and you can see things from the top of the mountain in some ways, and to you they don't
look nearly as bad. But what does that help them unless you come down and descend from your high horse, and help
them up and pray for them?
Don't just stand by and watch as the enemy takes over your brother or sister! (I:512)

Whoever happens to be fighting on your side, alongside you at the moment is your brother or sister in arms, and they
deserve your loyalty, in spite of any weaknesses or flaws.
Of course, they have flaws, faults and battles. They are fighting the devil, the enemy of their souls. They are in a war of the
worlds, a severe struggle, which brings a lot of upheavals into one's life, while those who have withdrawn from that
spiritual battlefront to just live a selfish life have no right to point their finger at them in an accusing way. Yet they are

699
usually the first to point their finger at them, because in having made a truce with the enemy, they are also subject to his
"comments" on issues. (I:531)

Welcome to the battle-field and to My army! This is how things work out here on the battle front: lots of changes, and you
can't get used to it fast enough. (I:532)

When you're battling, you're actually not further away from Me than during the more victorious times, but I'm actually
closer to you then, although you may not really feel it.
The times when you've recuperated from your last battle, when you feel stronger, and like walking on your own again, are
the times when I can actually let go of your hand for a little while and see how you'll be faring.
But it would certainly be wise of you not to stray too far from My hand again, knowing that the next battle might just be
'round the bend, and "he that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed, lest he fall," for the unexpected assaults of the
enemy are always the toughest ones to take. So, be prepared, always! Be cautious! You're living in perilous times, both,
spiritually and physically! Constantly be on guard against any attacks from the inside or the outside!
Treat victory and battle - even seeming defeat - just the same, knowing that for you, just to be fighting spells victory.
Persistence equals victory! You've just got to keep on!
Also keep in mind the objective, and what you're fighting for: the defeat of self in favor of greater love, unselfishness and
sacrifice for others. (I:537)

You're the enemy's death, his downfall and 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 and his System. (I:542)

The fierce dragon will try to stop you with all within him from conquering the sleeping princess, and from awakening her
with the kiss of My love and delivering her out of his clutches. But all the while you're becoming more and more skilled and
stronger as well, and if you're determined to keep fighting him, no matter what, to always get up again and fight another
round, then you'll win in the end and conquer and save the world through love and perseverance, love that never fails and
never quits. (I:544)

You 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, hypnotisms 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 and subtle
poisoning by posing as your "friend", bringing into your life all the tempting things that will cause you to lower your guard
and defense 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 and 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 and traitor and to stab you in the back when you least expect it, when
you're weakest and let down your guard.
So, there you have another bleak picture, but it's My picture of your reality, the way I see it, and the way it is! It's not a
vacation youre on, this trip through life, but it's warfare! (I:550)

When you're at war with an enemy who rules pretty much the whole World, things aren't always easy, they aren't always
rosy.
Of course, the enemy wants to make it tough on you, and he makes you want to regret your choice to become his and his
System's enemy.
He's asking, "Are you sure you want to join the side of those who have declared an all-out war against me?"
He knows, if there would be a way to get by peacefully coexisting with the devil and still pleasing Me at the same time, you
probably would. But there isn't. And so, the only choice you've got is all-out war against the enemy. And he'll fight you
back, for sure. He sends his emissaries, just to remind you that the nice, comfortable days of truce are over.
It's time to come to grips with the fact that you're an unwanted, unwelcome alien here, a pilgrim and stranger from the
other side, the enemy camp, as far as they're concerned who are sold out to the devil. The World only embraces and
pampers those who have swallowed the devil's hook and are definitely in his camp. They're like the Nazi forces during
WWII, indulging in all the luxuries and suppressing the "unwanted" elements, and just like in WWII, this is only the
beginning of woes. At first they edge in on your privileges, hassle you and make things tougher for you, but sooner or later
they'll find the perfect excuse to start a full-fledged persecution against you and your kind. (I:554)

A truly good warrior has to learn to train, control and discipline his own spirit. (I:570)

You've got to fight for the victory in the spirit! Fight that battle, facing down your enemy!
Declare all-out war and rally to your side those who were destined to help you.
You've simply got to fight, recognize the enemy, stare him in the eye and declare an all-out war and fight to the finish! Seek
that victory, and seize it! (I:580)

Use the sword of the Word against your foes. Exposing them in the light of My Word is one of the best remedies and most
powerful arms against them.
Get on the attack with the white-hot sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and cut the devil to the heart! The Word
is your most important weapon of attack, use it! (II:9)

The devil fights tooth and nail to stop you from accomplishing My highest and ideal plan for you.
When I give you a vision or plan for the future, the devil will fight it, and it depends on everyone involved to ward off those
attacks from the evil one, and if one link in the chain fails to see their part and the conditions they have to fulfill, the whole
plan may come to naught.
Each one's place among the winners and final victors is only determined by their own constant determination, conviction
and decision to keep on for Me and Me alone, no matter what, and if whatever your brother does causes you to stumble or
give up, that brother may be held responsible for his mistakes, but you will be held responsible for your own decision to
focus on his faults instead of Me, and whatever your looking at the waves will result in. If you want victory, you've got to
keep looking at Me. Everything else will only spell defeat... (II:10)

Its war time, time to attack, and the time for toying around is over! I need you to put your weapons and gifts to use, get
them out there on the battle field, and use them to win souls and free the captives, do My job and reap the harvest.
It's time to get serious about what I've given you all these things for, your experience, your talents, your gifts, knowledge,
wisdom, faith, the weapons of prayer and My Word, and it's time to break free from any chains of the Enemy and explode
into freedom, and be the revolutionaries you were ordained to be.
"Forward, march!" is the motto of the day! Time to attack! Testing and 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. (II:27)

The person under attack has to make a decision to do something positive about the state they're in.
First of all, they need to realize that they're under the attack of the Enemy, and that they're responsible to do something to
fight him, they can't pin that responsibility on anyone else. It's their battle, and they're responsible to get the victory. Sure,
they can ask for help, but they can't use it as an excuse to get even more down to say, "Boohoo, nobody's helping me to
get the victory..."
They've got to make the choice and the decision that they don't want to remain in that state and so they say, "I refuse to
stay in this condition," and accordingly go on the attack with positive action, whatever they may be capable of at the
moment, be it getting into the Word, praising Me or asking for prayer.
They need to make an effort, make the decision to take the first step in the right direction! I then release all the power
necessary to help them.
To fight or not to fight, this is the question! The answer is obvious: you have no other choice than to fight, the only other
option is to say "Uncle" to the devil and make everyone else's day around miserable, too.
When you feel the Enemy attacking you in your mind, go on the offensive! Refuse to let him play his dirty games with you!
Just sing a song of praise, or start praising Me, read the Word, ask Me to give you My own, personal counsel for you, and
don't stop until you've got the victory! (II:29)

Sometimes the victory lies in recognizing that you've been given the victory already. (II:30)

The soldier can't just say "I don't want to fight!" It's your God-given duty to fight for the Kingdom, to fight for lost souls.
It's time to go on the attack for souls! You can't lose! It's a winning battle, all you have to do is overcome your own fear,
pride, laziness and lethargy!
I need you to fight for Me! Trust that I will strengthen you and you will not regret it! (II:37)

Whenever you see that the enemy has penetrated your camp and has entered in your midst, you cannot keep going
business as usual. You must stop and pray! Don't allow the devil any entrance!
This is the real War we're fighting, the Holy War, the War of the worlds! The weapons are real, and the stakes are real, too!
The pain and the losses are real if you don't fight right, if you don't win, if you don't train enough in order to become strong
and able soldiers, and there's no running away! (II:56)

The unity and love you have for each other is one of the most effective weapons you have got in your arsenal. (II:65)

You become stronger with every minute of the battle!

It's wise not to underestimate the enemy, and to be aware that it's got to be Me fighting for and through you.
You'd be surprised in how many little ways you can deal him blows, just by swinging the weapons of love in his face.
The coward only attacks you when you're weak, and "weak" means, when you're self-confident (strong in yourself and
relying on your own wisdom instead of Me), when you take the victory for granted and you don't stay on guard.

701
What better way to teach you this than to let you suffer an attack whenever you let down your shield or your antenna, your
connection with Me? (II:69)

I'm trying to teach you to love the fight, to really cherish the battle and barge right into it.
There are more "clandestine" troupers than there are open fighters and attackers and front-line soldiers, and I need more
of those who truly have nothing to lose and wholeheartedly give their lives for My Cause. (II:81)

The greatest rewards wait for those who commit themselves to that ultimate struggle of good and evil, to confront and
combat the very evil in their own hearts, the very sin in their lives, for in this, they're fighting the very enemy of God - the
devil - on a day to day, face-to-face level. (II:98)

Familiar spirits can be more dangerous in some ways than demons, because people don't recognize them as some great
evil, but they feel so "familiar," so comfy and cozy to have around, like old friends, except that they're not real friends, but
seek to drag you down and impede your spiritual progress.
They're often spirits of independence, and the enemy has granted them some sort of "free lance" status, which makes
them feel free and great advocates of "freedom," because he knows he can do great harm in this, stopping those who are
influenced by such spirits from yielding and submitting totally to Me. But what those familiar spirits often don't know
themselves is that they're working for the other side. They're deceived into thinking that they're actually free and
independent, but they don't know that they are actually used by the other side, which makes the deception so perfect.
They're not truly free, they're not saved by Me, and when judgment comes, they will have to go to their "prison cells" in
hell or some other state where they will have to learn their lessons, but since they're obviously ignoring the truth and My
Light, they're not My sheep, and they will cause their victims to also resist My truth and light to whatever extent they can -
they'll stop them from yielding to it completely.
There will always be that weakness, that stumbling block, which they will convince their victim is just a natural weakness,
but as soon as something spiritual is the cause, it ceases to be natural, but becomes supernatural, for spirit and flesh are
two different things.
Of course, there are demons behind the familiar spirit, using him like a puppet on a string. Sometimes he's aware of them,
sometimes he chooses to ignore them, but they can influence him and intensify the depression or whatever miserable
state they try to get the spirit's host into. He acts like an agent, a vehicle or a medium between those demons and the host.
Their influence becomes a little more "anonymous" and clandestine (note: a "proxy"). The familiar spirit is like Judas, an old
trusted "friend" who will betray their victim with a kiss.
He tries to keep them running around in circles, without breaking out of it, for he knows, the closer they get into the light,
the greater is the danger of him being exposed and cast out.
He's just a little tool, and you must rebuke the demons that stand behind him and are using him, too.
Familiar spirits are deceased humans, the devil's counterpart of My spirit helpers. Because they were once flesh and blood
humans, they can "relate" to people better and also camouflage their influence a little better than demons. They serve as
masks or "sheep clothing" to the devil's demons who will gain entrance through them that is more subtle and not as easily
detected as downright and straight demonic influence, although, once the door has been opened, there is no limit to what
extent other bad spirits will also pour in through that loophole until the victim realizes what's going on and decides to put
a stop to it. (II:109)

Even if these trials and battles you're having don't seem to be good for you, they actually are good for you, because they
strengthen you. It's training.
The spiritual forces you're fighting are real.
It's hard to be fighting at two fronts, but that's another battle ground reality you're going to have to become trained in,
having to fight outside enemies along with those who will cleave to you with flatteries. (II:110)

"Battles never cease." Not in this life, and not before I come. So, just take them, face them, with your chin held high. (II:111)

I've equipped you with all the weapons you need in order to fight and win this battle, so, give Me a chance to prove that My
Word is true, that My Promises are true, and that My weapons work, and fight! (II:118)

You've got to keep fighting, if you want to keep winning. (II:123)

It's natural to want life to be as comfortable, easy and sweet as possible, but it's not really good for you, since that's
weakening you. That's why there are more battles and less luxury, less ease, less comfort! I need to get My people ready
for war, and we cannot fight the foe effectively and successfully as long as you're weakened by all his lulling and tempting
devices, by all his addictions to the sweet things in life!
These battles are signs that everything is not alright, and yes, something is wrong, indeed! Something is wrong.
There is no peace with the enemy. (II:133)

You've got to be prepared for the devil's first grenades as soon as you wake up. So, what better way is there to
counterattack than sling a good few showers of praise in his face? Let it rain praise bullets! (II:140)

I'm trying to train you for the War of the Worlds, not a holiday camp where you become weaker and weaker by the day,
unable to resist and fight the enemy! I'm trying to teach you to fight! (II:149)

702
The devil's not going to fight you in an area where you feel comfortable fighting him. He wants to hit you where it hurts, in
your sensitive and weak and vulnerable areas. Of course, he'll hope that you'll cop out and throw in the towel. But as long
as you don't, as long as you keep fighting and keep hanging in there, you're gaining from it. You're being strengthened and
trained, and you gain experience. (II:150)

The devil's an enemy that's to be taken very seriously, and ignoring him could be the biggest mistake you ever made!
It may be unpleasant having to deal with the enemy, but what else is a war but having to constantly face and confront and
deal with your enemy? - Exposing his tactics, finding out which way he operates, what he's trying to achieve, etc. And you
must find ways to lick him, beat him, destroy him!
But instead of focusing on attacking and fighting him, he is trying to divert your attention and get you to focus on yourself,
your weaknesses, your desires, your wants, your lacks. He doesn't want you to focus on using the weapon in your hand.
(II:172)

Sometimes you've got to take a hard stand in order to do the right thing and fight the wrong! You've got to learn to be
consistently tough, yet loving.
We're fighting a tough and mean enemy. That means we've got to learn to be tough, too, sometimes. (II:184)

The more you are battling, the more important you are to Me, because if you weren't, then the devil would just leave you in
peace! But if you come out for Me and stick your head out of the trench, that's when he starts firing, and those are the
times when you should cling to Me all the more desperately.
You should get excited and say, "Hallelujah! The devil is mad, so we must be accomplishing something or doing
something right, which he hates!"
Every time he attacks I'm expecting you to turn to Me for help so that we can lick the foe together! I'm with you, and at no
time is this more true than when you're fighting the enemy! There is no greater proof that you're on My side than when
you're fighting My enemy.
I wait for you to come to Me, in order to help you to get the victory, so that you will know it's not you who wins them, but
that only I can win them through you! Next time you're battling, remember that I'm only waiting for you to come to Me to
give you the victory! That's what will show that you've really learned how to fight properly! I'm your greatest weapon, your
shield and your exceeding great reward! I will be your Victory! I will show you precisely which weapons to use, which are
going to be the most effective in dismantling the Enemy and destroying him and his plans, his lies in your life! (II:191)

My warriors are warriors of the Spirit! My battle is happening in the realm of the spirit!
The only way victories over evil spirits are won are through humbly using the spiritual weapons of prayer, praise and
claiming My promises; in other words, by hoping and trusting in Me to do the real fighting for you!
You can summon My angels and My spiritual fighters to come to your aid by availing yourself of the spiritual weapons.
You must let go of the flesh and embrace the Spirit if you want to win the battles before you. (II:192)

I use all kinds of methods in order to keep the battle alive. I can't allow My people to fall asleep or fall into a false sense of
security, thinking there is nothing wrong and no one to fight. The World is in the hands of the enemy, and as long as that is
the case, there will never be true peace in this life for My true disciples.
If the enemy has you or any of My other chosen fighters cornered, I will stir up and awaken someone else temporarily, in
order to use them and divert the enemy's attention from you. (II:196)

Troubles, trials, afflictions, problems and battles... all those things you'd preferably do without, are the very things that are
going to accomplish and bring about the changes you need!
And that means, the harder they are, the better and more effective they're going to be. That's why you'd better get used to
fighting and battling mode. Because the more you battle and fight, the stronger you're going to be - in Me. And the
stronger in Me you'll be, the more My Light and Love they'll see! (II:199)

If you make efforts to fight the devil harder, then of course, the enemy isn't just going to take it lying down. You have to be
prepared that he's going to shoot back! If you declare war on him, he's gonna fight you. (II:218)

It's not always fun or "inspiring" to be fighting a war. There's a lot of serious, unpleasant stuff involved, and to become
more familiar with these things and that part of life, is simply part of the process of growing up and maturing.
You notice a lot of not-so-glorious things that you didn't expect before... Gory details you didn't have a clue existed when
you were young and idealistic and blue-eyed... Or even simply boring chores and a strenuous schedule. It's "welcome to
the real battle of life!"
There comes a time when you can't avoid the battles and confrontations anymore, and it's simply come to that: time to
grow up!
So, no matter how dark and gloomy the battle, there has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man, and it's
all simply a matter and part of growing up, maturing and becoming a real man and fighter for Me. (II:224)

How different the spiritual way of fighting is from carnal ideas! Some of the most radical and powerful weapons are
manifested in something that symbolizes the exact opposite of all that people would associate with warfare in the carnal.
Love is the most powerful weapon to wield in our holy war against evil. (II:225)

703
I have to strengthen you first, before I can send you out to battle. You can't go out to battle half-ready, half-baked, half-
cooked. Once you're strong enough to resist the enemy's temptations and distractions, and to not even give him a chance
for an inside attack; once you will have learned to hold on to your unity and defend it at any cost, then I'll be able to send
you to the battle field. And then will you also have acquired the necessary love and courage for the battle, and you won't
be shattered by the first breeze of worldly temptation or comparison you might come across. (II:269)

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. In order to protect the weaker
members of your family, you need to keep all gates and doors and 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.
Strive to strengthen your resources and reserves, instead of taking any risks.
Do what soldiers do, prepare for battle, and not act as if life was a vacation. Get serious about getting strengthened and
trained up for warfare! Invest time in proactive training and learning to really fight the devil.
Are you being "sober and vigilant," or are you leaving the doors of your defenses wide open, leaving yourself vulnerable,
and your flock exposed to the peril of outside attacks? (II:279)

Warfare isn't always beautifully organized. The signal sounds and you rush out onto the battle field, and you don't always
look good in the mess that results out there. The only question that will remain is: have you done what you could? Will you
have given it your all? (II:281)

I'm not going to send you out into battle before you're prepared for it, or send you into battles you're not equipped for.
(II:285)

It's a permanent fight to strive to keep your mind stayed on Me, and that's what those weapons of our warfare are there for,
to pull down those thoughts and mental picture that are trying to separate and distract you from the knowledge that God is
right there with you.
It's a conscious effort, a real fight, and a mental and spiritual war. (II:286)

I want My followers to become more acquainted with and more skilled in the use of their spiritual weapons , because these
relatively peaceful times will soon be over, and full-fledged warfare is going to break out. So far, most of you have not been
taking your training seriously enough. Your main concerns have been your survival, your careers, your futures, your
pastimes, and not truly giving your lives for My Cause. (II:287)

The battle is rarely ever neatly organized. It's bloody hoodlum, where all that counts is: How easily are you going to be
intimidated? How easy is it going to be for the enemy to get you to turn tail and run? Or how hard are you going to make
the fight for him? How determined are you to lick him, overcome him, destroy him? That's what counts!
Don't look at the circumstances! Of course, they're chaos! That's what war amounts to, and that's what the devil is trying
to create all along! Victory is to be able to grab hold of My peace and 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 and beauty of what's going to be and what really is in the heavenly realm, beyond
all that ugliness the devil's trying to create! (II:296)

Don't be surprised that you actually have to do some substantial fighting! You think the devil and his demons are just
going to stand by while you're threatening to become one of those who are destined to become their demise, grasping
countless others out of their clutches? How can you be so surprised about the struggle and the amount it costs you? It's
something worth fighting for. (II:367)

You must detach yourself of all that heavy-weight armor and all the ado that doesn't come in handy in effectively fighting
the System tyrant!
You're guerillas.
It's time to quit trying to look impressive, it's time to start wielding the weapons that are really going to make the
difference, and show the world what you're capable of: the slaying of the giant.
But it's going to have to be very obviously My hand and My means that will have saved you and will have given you the
victory. (II:375)

As long as you stay small, out of sight, out of range, you can be like an independent little guerrilla fighter, like David, who
was able to run around Goliath, while he could hardly move in his heavy armor.
Seek not to be anything big in this world, seek not to compromise for their gain, seek no truce with the devil! (II:396)

It's a monumental job, and you have a monumental foe to make it as difficult as possible for you to do that job, but that's
where I come in, and your faith in My superiority, to prove to the world that nothing the devil and all his followership can
do is able to stop even one of My followers if I'm on his side and right behind him. (II:412)

The greatest weapon the devil ever used against My people was the spirit of complacency. A truly revolutionary spirit will
never be satisfied with this world, it will always rebel against it; but there are too few of them, and even they are often
being persuaded to temporary truces with the Enemy and his System. They're becoming tired and weary of war. And that's
704
usually when the enemy will also drop his friendly mask and launch his all-out, open attack: "They're weak and tired now,
and just about asleep! Now let's attack'em!"
That's why I've cautioned you in My Word to watch and pray, to be sober and vigilant. The enemy, as a roaring lion walketh
about seeking whom he may devour, and he's closing in right now. Cowardly as he is, he won't attack you while you're
fully alert and on guard. Only when he can get you to settle for a compromise, some limbo of peaceful coexistence with
him, and he can get you off guard, then he has a chance.
It'll probably do you some good to be confronted with the wolves' teeth and foul breath for a while to remind you of why
I'm at war with the System, and you can think about if you really want peace with them and be their slave, or whether
you're ready to declare all-out war against them and make sure and fully known whose side you're on! (II:428)

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 and 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. (II:447)

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.
Don't make the mistake of not recognizing your enemies, and underestimating them.
The god of forces is on your heels as Pharaoh's armies were after Moses and 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. (II:450)

You can't just use a weapon at a certain time a day, when you choose to practice with it, but during the fight and when the
battle is hot, that's when you need it the most and your skill with it comes in the most handy, and when it also will be
tested the most, for what it's worth. (II:453)

You usually don't really fight unless you're being attacked. You fend off the enemy when you're being attacked, but that's
not how you expand, how you gain territory, how you progress. In order to do that, you need more of an aggressive
approach.
The minute you just settle down to enjoy what you've got is the moment you start becoming an old bottle. I have to allow
the enemy to stir up some trouble for you, in order to get you fighting and shake you out of your happy little world
syndrome and remind you that it's a war, and you can't take anything for granted.
You can't afford to just drift through life without making any progress, because if you're not making any advances into the
devil's territory to snatch something away from him, then he will advance into yours and see what he can rip off from you.
You need to stay on the attack and in advance mode. You've got to have a conquering attitude, not one of mere
preservation of what you've got. There's more, lots more out there to win and gain and accomplish for Me.
You can constantly look out for opportunities of how I can turn something along your path into a victory, an advance or
advantage for My Kingdom. You've got to seize those opportunities, seize the day, and not just let it pass you by.
In order to really seize the day, you've got to be the one who takes the offensive, instead of just being on the defense and
only fighting back when you're being attacked! That's why witnessing is so healthy, spiritually: it's a way to lead offensive
warfare, of strengthening your spiritual muscles and fighting skills.
By not exercising your muscles, you're allowing weakness, deterioration and decay to slowly creep up on you and take the
upper hand, instead of actively fighting for life. Take a pro-life stand! (II:474)

The devil will fight you like mad, trying to stop you from anything good, much less the best, but that's what the fight is all
about! Kick him back! Push him back! Force him to retreat! (II:485)

I consider positiveness, being a wholehearted and stouthearted, relentless fighter who will not give any room or place for
evil to exist. (II:542)

"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.
So, consider it a privilege, a sign and manifestation of the power that you have, if the devil is attacking. Exposing your
weak spots and chinks in your armor also helps our cause, because like this you'll know which limbs and areas you'll have
to strengthen, where you've got to watch out and stay on guard.
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! (II:581)

Sometimes enmity and a clear division has to be brought about in order to bring My servants and brides to the point where
they stop fraternizing with fractions of the enemy, only in order to maintain some kind of peace. Remember that I have not
come to bring peace, but a sword (Mt.10:34-36). (II:587)

You constantly need to upgrade your artillery in order to stay up to par with the enemy. (II:588)
705
This is one constant fight and battle everyone of My followers must go through in their lives: the fight against the enemy's
fiery darts of doubt. That's why it's important that you never ever put down your shield of faith and don't neglect the sword
of My Word, either. (II:597)

There are a lot of negative and not-so-nice factors about a war, and it won't help just closing your eyes and ignoring them!
Wounds, as ugly as they may be, have to be attended to! Problems need to be dealt with. Evil has to be exposed.
Whenever you see a need, take care of it! Attack! (II:606)

Life is a constant confrontation with the forces of evil, and its best to arm yourself for it, instead of seeking to shun it
constantly. Some confrontations you simply cant avoid. And if you avoid them, you run the chance of the other party -
your opponent - taking advantage of you and your passive attitude. (II:635)

The enemy never fights you when youre strong and on top of things, because he knows he has no chance then. He only
fights you when youre down and weak, hes a real coward. (II:638)

My true chosen ones won't settle for compromise with the evil one! For them there is only all-out war with him, and only
one goal in sight: the earth freed from his tyranny. (III:59)

I'm calling you to join the fiercest battle ever, not to some peaceful, easy, relaxing vacation camp.
There is a place where folks really fight the devil to the finish, and it's no holiday camp. It's not for the sensitive or those
who are out for a jolly good time, unless your idea of a good time is making the devil bleed.
To serve Me means to serve Me in battle against evil, and it's a relentless battle to the death. There's nothing fake about it.
No second chances of, "Oh, I don't think this is what I wanted, after all." There's either fight to the death or desertion. (III:99)

This battle field of life can become pretty hostile territory when you allow the devil to disturb the equilibrium of things and
to take the proportions of one of the essential ingredients out of your life, that enable you to breathe properly. After all,
that's what poisonous gases in warfare are supposed to do: to disable the enemy and stop him from breathing.
If I'm the air that you breathe, don't let the enemy rob you of it! Don't let him kill you with his poisonous gases, don't let
him choke you, suffocate you, don't let him steal your oxygen. Defend your right to breathe! (III:112)

No matter how pleasant things get, you've got to remind yourselves constantly that you're at war, and that you're warriors,
a constant threat to the enemy, and thus constantly at risk of any form of attack by him. He'll take advantage of any weak
moment you'll offer him. (III:133)

You have to put up some kind of a fight. You cannot just be indifferent, you've got to have appropriating faith and grab that
blessing and claim it as yours.
I don't want you to "fight" for material goods in a competitive way, the way folks in the System do. But I do want you to put
up a fight for your blessings, for your crown, and all that comes with it. While I don't want you to fight for your positions in
the world, I do want you to fight for your spiritual position. Don't let the devil cheat you out of something that could be
rightfully yours.
If you're not going to fight, the enemy will. (III:167)

The devil won't start shooting until you stick your head out of the trench. You must count on adversities, on problems. The
only way to avoid them altogether is to do nothing, and that is, of course, precisely what the Devil wants.
You've got to develop some zest, some determination, some stick-to-it-iveness, gumption, perseverance, some do-or-die
spirit. You can't always avoid all the ugly parts by just laying low and playing Mr. Nice-Guy. The battle is bloody and
chaotic, and those involved don't exactly come across or strike anyone as "nice."
The only place a battle doesn't look awful and gory is on a Hollywood movie screen. Reality's a tough fight.
How can you overcome your enemy if you never face him down and fight? (III:178)

It's a war you're fighting, and you're fighting on My side, and it's no wonder you're getting flak from those of the world, for I
am not of the world, and neither are you.
What war has there ever been without a battle? This is no "cold war," nor merely a metaphor, but the real thing. And
everything that's worth something costs something. Every victory costs a battle.
All you need is to want that victory and fight for it! (III:179)

The spirit of prophecy is the factor that makes the enemy mad at you and declares you as his true enemies (see Rev.12:17,
19:10). (III:181)

Sometimes you need to be reminded of who and what you're up against, and of what sort of filth we're having to deal with
in our war against evil. Sometimes you become lethargic and you're simply not on the attack or on guard, and I have to
allow things to happen in order to remind you that it's war time, that evil is real, and that we have to fight. (III:189)

The enemy starts fighting you when you start making a difference.
Your greatest victories will always come out of seeming defeats.

706
The way I've fought all My battles throughout history has always been that same pattern: a seemingly pitiful, bedraggled
little band against a much larger enemy, greatly outnumbering My troops, just to make really sure that the victory was
going to go on My account, "lest Israel say, 'Mine own arm hath saved me.'" (III:210)

When the enemy is around, you can't ignore him, but you have to aim your spiritual weapons at him and shoot, and not
rest until he's down. There's no use in going on, ignoring him or pretending everything is alright. First you've got to do
whatever it takes to get rid of his presence, his oppression and influence in your life. (III:226)

Sometimes you tend to forget that it's a fight, and you run into your day, just like any ordinary day, let your hair down and
just relax, without wanting to deal much with the fight it entails.
But the problem is that if you don't fight, chances are that you're rendering territory over to the enemy...
If he doesn't encounter much of a resistance he'll make himself as comfortable in your life as you let him get away with.
(III:252)

There are more important things here at stake than the fun and diversion of a single soldier: the fate and future of My
entire army depends on each one of you.
Youre a lover of peace, but this is a time of war, and I'm asking you to fight for Me. Many who have fought and bled and
died in wars didn't want to do so, but they did so out of duty for their country, their king, their cause, and now I need you
also to display that loyalty for Me and My Cause, and show that you're willing to do that for Me, which by nature you're not
so fond of... to fight.
The enemy won't leave you in peace, anyway. He won't stop and give in until he has you either conquered or defeated and
out of the way, and thus far you have reluctantly fought back whenever he attacked you, but now is the time not just to
defend what you've got, but to go on an all-out attack to snatch territory away from him that he is unrightfully usurping
from Me.
This is about your Kingdom, your Country, your future, your status as either victor or one more who's been conquered by
this fraud. He thinks of himself as some kind of a great field Marshall and warlord, when in reality, all that he is, is a
destroyer. And all he'll accomplish in the end is wreak considerable destruction and wreckage.
Distraction is the name of his game, in order to ensure your destruction. That's why you've got to remain vigilant and on
guard, and not only that, but now I'm asking you to come off of your defensive position and strike him a unanimous blow.
Show him that you're not afraid of him! Show him that you've got his number, and that you've got him pinned down, and
that you're really convinced that I Who am in you is so much greater than he could ever dream of being. Now that I've
begun to show you who you are, show him who you are!
You may be some kind of upstart, compared to his millennia of fighting experience, but that won't stop you from
challenging him, from daring him, yea, from defeating him!
It's true, you wish you had been more diligent in your preparation for this battle; that you had gotten more acquainted with
your weapons and had taken this whole war more seriously... But you can still make it. With Me on your side you can't
lose, whatever happens.
I need you to defy him. I can't just let him take the floor and boast that there is none to challenge him, the way Goliath did
before the children of Israel. You can knock him out, deal him a mortal blow.
There is a time for everything: a time for peace, and a time for war, and this is a time for war. Now is the time to advance
and no longer retreat, but to use whatever you've got on the battle field. (III:258)

I want you to become a skilled master fighter and expert at pulling down Satan's strongholds and delusions in people's
minds! (III:265)

Whenever the devil fights, you can assume that you're on the right track. If you weren't posing a threat to him, he wouldn't
care, right? (III:272)

The only chance of victory is to keep on fighting.

What else can you do but fight? Even if you seem to be alone in this fight, this battle, or even this whole war, and
sometimes it seems as though the very ones fighting on your side have turned against you.
The enemy can really create some confusion at times. He has always been the author of confusion, and he knows his only
chance is to get your focus off of the light and blur your vision.
As long as you can see clearly who is the enemy, and who's your friend, and you stand united against him, he knows he
doesn't stand a chance. Only by bringing about this confusion where you can't tell who is friend or foe anymore, does he
gain a chance.
It requires some skill, some experience and some self-discipline, not to start firing away in the mist and the dark, lest you
hit one of your own. It requires patience, faith and trust, to just sit and wait it out until you can distinguish clearly what
moves the enemy is up to, recognize him, and then pull the trigger. (III:277)

Try to use all the weapons at your disposal, learning to discern in which type of situation each weapon will be most useful
and effective.
You must learn to not only use, but also guard and protect your weapons as well, they require some maintenance. Just as
you would have to try to protect a sword or gun from rust and corrosion, you must protect your spiritual weapons from the
corrosion and harmful acids and chemical processes of the enemy.
Lack of usage is of course one of the worst things for a weapon. You've got to keep the triggers well-oiled, the blades
sharpened, and the ammunition dry.
707
Sometimes you need to realize how important and irreplaceable a weapon is before you start appreciating it and caring for
it as you should. (III:281)

Teaching people to defend only their own, individual "territory," their own personality, is good and needed, but the devil
isn't nearly as scared of this rather selfish approach as he is of one honest soul winner, who is not interested in fixing up
and improving himself, but lays down his life in order for others to be saved.
The art of spiritual self-defense on an individual level cannot be compared to the universal spiritual warfare.
You may look miserable, lying there in the trenches, in the mud, dirty, stinking and uncomfortable, fighting life-and-death
combat on the dark battle fields of this world, compared to the nice and shiny practice of spiritual self-defense of those
sheltered people in their ivory towers, in their clean white (spiritual) judo suits.
But when it comes down to handing out the medals to the ones who will have been instrumental in winning the global and
universal war for Me, you can imagine, which type of warfare will have had the greater impact.
Judo does not inflict any harm on your enemy, it just teaches how to keep the enemy at bay, in order to enable one to live a
life "free of conflict."
Whereas you are being taught to prepare for the greatest conflict there ever was between My Cause and the Devil's, My
side and the devil's, My people and the devil's.
Not being aware of the greater spiritual warfare can become a dangerous illusion and deception: you think that just
because you get a grip over your personal problems and the evil manifested in your own life, the world is going to be a
better place from now on, and the devil isn't really up to anything else, like taking over the world, preparing the world for
his own world order, and the final implementation of his mark.
All the attention is drawn toward overcoming personal problems - which is all good and has its place - but there is no
focus whatsoever on the evil the devil is perpetrating in the rest of the world. The attitude behind that is, "Let the rest of
the world go to hell, as long as we can save ourselves."
All those good works look nice, but what are all those good works compared to one immortal soul snatched away from the
claws of the devil?
What are all those nice and spiritually groomed Christians trained in the art of self-defense going to do against the flood of
evil that is sweeping the rest of the world? (III:325)

It's hard to become enthusiastic about a battle side by side with somebody who looks like they're going to collapse any
minute, just because they didn't even deem it necessary to strengthen themselves.
There were those who played their marching tunes enthusiastically into the battle, only to never return. They figured, of
course they would win, of course they had what it took, but they didn't. Nobody ever heard of them again. It takes a little
more than "rah-rah" to win a battle, and we'll see who's really got what it takes to make it through this alive.
A little circumspection, wisdom, assessment of the situation, and intelligence, (as in intelligence during warfare), isn't
wrong, and mere optimism is not what it takes to win a war.
If you've done all you could to strengthen yourself and your party, then you have every reason to be optimistic, although
you still shouldn't boast yourself of the morrow or shout "victory" before the battle is over. But if you haven't done what
you could in order to strengthen your spirit for the battle, because you were busy with "a form of godliness, but without
the power thereof," then woe is us. (III:346)

If you fight the devil, you need to be prepared for the enemy's attacks.
It's something that's simply bound to happen if you're a Christian and fighting on My side, and that you ought to be
prepared to deal with.
You must reckon with it to happen, as unpleasant as it is. But the more you're prepared for this type of situation, the more
skilled you will become in handling them. (III:347)

The victory is yours already. You cannot lose it. No matter what the devil does, he cannot cheat you out of the victory. It's
yours inevitably, no matter what he does. (III:348)

The enemy is mad and scared when you're about to do something special and great for Me; he always fires away with all
barrels when he realizes you're going to go on the offensive. (III:351)

When you've got nothing left to lose, then you won't have any fears left holding you back from the battle field. You'll barge
right in, come hell or high-water, defying any instincts that would try to make you wish to preserve your own life, your own
reputation, image, or whatever may have seemed too precious to you before to give it up. (III:353)

You're asking Me, "As tired as I am of fighting, do I stand a chance of winning?" -- referring to this particular battle.
You personally feel it's a hopeless effort.
What do you want Me to tell you? "Yeah, you're right. Just fold in, it doesn't make any sense to keep fighting..."? That
doesn't sound like the kind of advice I'd give you, does it?
You want Me to give you a "realistic prognosis," but all I can say, is "It's up to you."
I have put before you the ways of either life or death this day, for you to choose whether you'll take the high road or the low
road. You want a prognosis? You tell Me! What is it you're going to choose to do? Give up? Quit? Or keep fighting?
You know My ways. Quitting is not for Me, so don't ask Me, "Don't You think I should better quit?"
You can't ask the Champion of the universe to just stop fighting and be so kind as to let the enemy take over and win the
battle for a change.

708
I can feel for you, extend My sympathies for your plight, and everything, but I can't possibly encourage you to give up!
(III:367)

It would be like cheating to just give you the victory without having done some fighting first. Its like the proverb about
teaching a man to fish, instead of feeding him: Im teaching you the skills of obtaining the victory, strengthening you
through that process, not just handing you the victory on a silver platter and allowing you to remain weak. Only fighting is
whats going to make you strong enough to obtain the victory not entirely by yourself, but with My Help, but nonetheless
through the part that you can do. (III:385)

Its war time! In war, things dont continue to tranquilly run their course, but there is howling of sirens and running to and
fro of people the sky is dark, and theres the noise of gun and shell fire. Theres pain when youre being hit by
something, and you may find yourself paralyzed and tied to the spot
This is it. This is no drill.
Its not a time anymore for entertainment and leisure. Its a call to arms. The success and outcome of the battle will depend
on each man, woman and child involved.
In the movies you always see the hero make up his mind reluctantly and at the last minute, to finally do his part and pitch
in, in order for good to win the battle.
In reality, thats an attitude very unlikely to ensure success.
If you want to win a war, youd better start training and learning how to fight as soon as possible, and prepare for whats
ahead of you, and not just rely on luck to give you the strength youll need. Luck is a very insecure factor to rely on in a
war, because youll more often than not find yourself and the world around you running out of luck. (III:387)

It all depends on how much and how badly you truly want to make it, surviving there on the frontlines in this war
Remember, The most uncomfortable place for a Christian is a comfortable place, meaning that comfort isnt what you
ought to be seeking. Comfort is your enemy, and anything that makes you feel comfortable may be counterproductive in
the aspect of getting you where I want you to be. You cant fight a war comfortably! (III:392)

The spirit of the enemy is striving against Me and resisting Me and My ways on every level, in every area and walk of life.
Youll meet people everywhere who are going to struggle against My movement in the spirit. The ones who are truly
yielded to My Spirit are very, very rare.
The enemy sics his dogs on the carriers of My true anointing wherever he finds them and can stir them up, like a hornets
nest, or like dogs barking and nipping at your heels. But they can never really do you any real harm. Primarily, they are just
there to test and strengthen your faith and resolve. These are precisely the factors that make you strong. Just another
example of the devil actually working for Me, whether he wants to or not. (III:412)

It sometimes happens in warfare, that you get wounded by members of your own party. But you cant allow that to weaken
you to a point of surrender. Youve got to get over it and keep fighting.
Warfare is really an art, and its not necessarily something youre born into or everybody fits right into from scratch. Its a
skill that has to be acquired by hard training, and its not something you acquire by giving up after the first few failed
attempts.
The battle field doesnt always exactly feel like home to everyone. So dont be surprised if you feel strange, and out of
place, wondering how you fit in and What am I doing here?
War is ugly. Your superiors yell at you, may even take advantage of you, and not everybody remembers to remain a
gentleman on the battlefield. Its not place for hurt feelings.
Sometimes you feel devastated.
You realize how close you are nearly every moment of your life to the point of losing everything, when all you will have left
of your substance will be your naked soul standing before Me.
Not the figure of how much wealth youve acquired, how big you are in terms of numbers and figures, just you, your
soul, who you really are. (III:418)

The enemy isnt just going to peacefully stand by and look on as I make a super weapon out of you, aimed and destined for
his destruction.
Hes going to come up with his best magic in order to stop you from becoming what you ought.
He may have made more points in this round, but youre still in the ring, and youre not finished yet and youre learning a
bit more with each fight, more about his tactics; and Im counting on the ability of My Spirit in you to teach you something
from all this, lessons that will prevent you from falling into the same traps next time (III:446)

Its time to put on your armor and forget about the playground, leave it behind, and trade it in for the battle field. The battle
field is your place now, not the playground.
There are greater thrills to be had on the battle field than you ever could find on any playground.
Blessed are the peacemakers, but it takes some fight and personal effort and sacrifice to make peace in this wicked, war-
mongering world. (III:500)

Its the spiritual forces behind people youre actually having to deal with, more than the people themselves.
By focusing your attention and power on the spiritual side of things, youre addressing the real culprits and powers behind
the scenes

709
The people they use are often only instruments in their hand, often ignorant of what theyre really doing. And you can only
disarm them by focusing the power on the forces that energize them, the spirits that empower them, by challenging them
and commanding them in My name and in the name of the power of the keys to shut up and be quiet. You can bind and tie
their hands and paralyze them, stop them from continuing their work in that area theyre exerting their influence over.
Youre going to have to learn to address the powers behind those people of which they are really often only victims. (III:537)

You dont get up in the morning and wink at yourself in the mirror while you brush your teeth and have your coffee, and
say, Well, Im feeling fine today, so I think Im going to have me a wee little battle of sorts The battle breaks out upon
you unexpectedly, and all hell may break loose, and you will just wish youll be ready for it, ready to let everything else go
at a moments notice.
Your fellow soldiers are hearing their call to battle, and the worst thing you could do is to get offended and fail to give them
your support.
They need to know is that theyll have your unswerving support, and that you wont be like a flag in the wind, deserting
them at the first sign of trouble. (III:551)

Sometimes you rejoice too early. You think the victory is yours, you made it, and now you can drop your guard. But in
battle, these appearances can be deceiving. Many times the devil has an ambush prepared for you that youre not
expecting and arent ready for, unless you simply constantly stay on the alert.
Youre on hostile territory, and youre vastly outmanned and outnumbered in the physical, so the prospect of some
temporary advantage does not allow you to coast on your laurels. You need to be prepared for such tricks of the enemy. He
knows what it takes to get you off your guard.
He knows one of the best ways to get you is when he can make you think youre safe and home free, and youve got it
made, so you can let down your shield of desperation and staying on guard. (III:594)

In order to win spiritual battles, youre going to have to stir yourself up, and not allow yourself to settle down in a
comfortable rut, but steer away from seeking that kind of comfort. You want to be the kind of soldier that is going to stand
a chance to win a battle, and isnt just going to be shot down easily because of a lack of mobility. (IV:27)

As long as there are still battles to fight, you can tell that youre still on the right track, still on the right side, and still
hitting him where it hurts. As long as things arent flowing too smoothly and you cant just float along complacently, you
know that you must be having some effect on him that causes him to go on the counter-attack. So, as long as there are
battles, trials and troubles, you can assume that everythings alright. (IV:31)

Not every battle My warriors ever fight is won. Not if theyre not aware of the enemys devices, if theyre foolish enough to
ignore him or in their pride refuse to see him at work in their own lives (IV:36)

I havent called you on a permanent vacation or pleasure ride, but to war! War is tough! War is anything but pleasant, and
its not My choice, either. After all, Im the Prince of Peace, and thats what I wish to bring on this earth.
But as you can tell, not many of those in power share those same ideas, because there is greater profit for them to be
made from war, than there is in peace.
As long as these are the conditions, there can be no peace, nor Heaven on Earth for anyone, as much as you would like to
have your taste and share of it already now. But it would be a very selfish Heaven, dont you think, if you were to enjoy it
while so many go to hell without having been told about My true picture of reality, My message of salvation and hope, and
that there is indeed going to be a change in the not too distant future, of the kind that the peaceful peoples of the earth,
and the meek are longing for. (IV:47)

The light of My inspiration is a flame that you have to keep and guard. Its something you must fight for, in order to keep it
burning.
In order not to get out of it, you must fight to cling to My wavelength. That means, you have to cherish and value your
spiritual position and guard it, and determine that you wont allow the enemy to throw you off, come what may. You will
certainly not allow him to use something insignificant to throw you off.
You must consider, Is this worth getting grumpy over? Is this worth getting upset about and trading my position in the
victory for, and my position on the Lords wavelength?
And, of course, then the wholehearted answer must be, No way, dude!
Just as the entrance of My Word giveth light, so the vibes and input of discontent and murmuring the enemy tries to bring
into your life are darkness, and you must make a whole-hearted effort to resist that darkness and cling to the light!
Sometimes your attitude seems to be that darkness is just one other mood or shade in intervals with the light. You
dont view it as the opposite of light that it is, nor as the enemy that it is, but you take it in this sort of passive attitude, as if
saying, Well, I guess thats just the way it is, and you get all bitter and cynical and sarcastic over My having allowed that
unpleasant scenario to happen, when its not really I Who allowed it, but you did! You allow it to happen by refusing to fight
for the light, refusing to make an effort to stay in the light and on My wavelength.
You dont have to let the darkness in. You can make a choice to fight and refuse to let it in and focus on the light instead.
(IV:88)

I like to win victories that prove that numbers or physical strength or size dont matter at all. I dont need more than a
handful to win the battle in the decisive moment. The only question is, as far as youre concerned: will you be in that
number, and will you be there when we fight that battle?
710
The enemy doesnt hesitate in the least to snatch away your own children from you in front of your noses, to virtually rape
them right before your eyes, and you know what kind of a ruthless and merciless battle and resolve will be necessary in
order to overcome him.
All I really need is a handful of people who simply hate the devil enough to refuse to compromise with him, and refuse to
settle for a sickening truce with him, but are determined to wage an all-out war and battle to the death with him. There is no
alternative. If you hate the enemy enough, you will refuse to be sent home! You will insist on being there when Ill bring an
end to him, along with My few chosen ones.
Let the rest of the cowards and half-hearts walk home, which is what they wanted to do all along, and go back to sleep. But
youre going to want to be in on that battle!
Thats all that counts to Me: just a handful and a few determined, relentless ones, bent on fighting the Enemy to the death!
The others will serve their purpose, too. But more often than not, they might actually serve to show you what you dont
want to be or become like: you dont want to trust in the arm of the flesh, or in numbers, or in circumstances, and you
dont want to go by what you can see, or by the odds and the chance you stand to win against a physically superior
enemy. You dont want to be as superficial as that to think that the God you trust in would be dependent on such things to
win His war.
Youll know that it is His war, not yours, and Hes going to win it His way, and all you can do is yield to His ways and rejoice
in the privilege to be among those He has chosen to do it with.
Youve got a battle in front of you in which the Spirit of God Almighty will do the fighting for you, and youll just be
instruments in His hands that He will use to make a racket that will scare the hell out of His opponents.
The God of all flesh is just as alive and around as He used to be during the time of Gideon and all His other ancient
prophets. The scoffers may not believe it, because He never showed up to cater to their whims. But that is because the
God of all flesh is not interested in those who only seek to be catered to. He doesnt need another bunch of pampered
brats, because He has seen enough of that already, as Im sure you have, too.
Will you be as revolutionary to refuse to let your responsibility toward them outweigh your responsibility toward Me, My
Cause, and this war?
Will you be left behind to pamper those who want someone to cater to them or will you march on forward with the few of
those who will heed My call and refuse to be sidetracked by any lame attempt of the evil one? (IV:89)

Your most dangerous and deadly enemies are not the kind who keep you on your heels and on guard, but those forces
which make you feel comfortable and at ease in this world, with nothing left to fight against, and pretty soon after that, not
much left to fight for, either.
So, seek that challenge, that battle, even if it may not initially strike you as something pleasant, but its what will keep you
alive! (IV:96)

Its not a game. Its real. Actual, lasting losses are a real risk in this war, and it pays to stay on guard.
If you knew how much is at stake, you would be a lot more serious about the role youre supposed to play.
Life is a battle and a race, and youve got to be in the condition to make it. (IV:99)

Youve got the truth. Youve got the Spirit. Youve got My living Word and the weapons that are going to help you fight and
win this war for Me.
Numbers were never something I went by, since I am not restricted to save by many or few. Numbers are irrelevant to Me
when it comes to being outnumbered by Enemy forces.
A small minority with God can be more than sufficient a match against a physically superior enemy.
Wait and see if I will not fulfill My Promises and lead you on to victory! (IV:103)

You have to fight and put yourself and your energy on the side of the spirit
You either fight on the side of the spirit, or you allow the flesh to gain the upper hand, and if you do, it will take some effort
to enable the spirit to regain its ground, comparable to a wrestler regaining the top position after being overwhelmed by
his opponent
Of course, it becomes more difficult with other human spirits around influencing you, trying to sway the tide in favor of
either side (and those fighting on the side of the spirit will always be in the minority), or being manipulated by Enemy
forces to affect you unfavorably, even if that was none of their intention.
A lot of whats going on behind the curtain in the spirit world, including in the confrontations with other human spirits, is a
battle for authority.
Some will try to exert their authority over you or snatch it away from you, and the enemy knows how he can manipulate
you into giving it up. But in some situations you simply must not allow that.
You may take the humble seat, but ultimately, you must always keep the authority I have given you in the spirit.
Your spiritual rank is always valid, even when in the presence of a higher ranking officer, and you must not forfeit it, and
certainly not in favor of the inklings of an inferior just trying to have their way.
They will try out anything, if you let them, but you must maintain your position, otherwise youll soon have chaos on your
hands, if you will just allow everybody to have their way (IV:124)

I want you to stay aware of the fact that were in a state of constant war.
There is no peace neither for nor with the wicked, and thus there is no peace for My warriors in this wicked world and age.
If you want peace, youre going to have to find it in that Hiding Place, the secret place under My Wings, in the Shadow of
the Almighty, where the world cannot come. (IV:151)

711
The blows you receive in the battle are the best teachers that help you not to repeat the same mistakes, to know when to
keep your head down and when to raise your shield. (IV:158)

I cannot just have you use your weapons under easy circumstances, when most of the times you really need them will be
uneasy circumstances, namely in the midst of a battle
Thats what weapons are for. (IV:159)

You cant give up, no matter how tough it gets. Youve just got to keep fighting, no matter what the odds youre up against.
Its true that the Goliath and the Machines out there may look overwhelmingly superior. But thats where faith becomes
your principal and most essential weapon, the faith that disregards the odds and knows that I am able to overcome them
all for you.
Youre up against a large majority, and youre not going to be able to stand against them all alone without help from the
Lord of Hosts. Youre going to have to recruit My Army and My forces to rush to your side, otherwise its hopeless.
That is never portrayed in those movies where some hero overcomes legions of evil on his own: It creates the unrealistic
notion that you just might win against all odds by yourself, but thats not quite correct.
Give honor where it is due and avail yourself of the supernatural strength that alone can help you make it in the real fight.
A lot of the warfare is fought in prayer. You can do whatever you can in the flesh and in the physical, but if you dont see to
it that it will get the necessary boost and umph from the Spirit World, your efforts might be rendered nearly futile, or at
least not nearly as effective as otherwise they might have been.
Commend yourself, your life, your works, everything into My hands. Im right here, waiting for you to tell Me what to do,
ready to receive you and carry you in the palm of My hands through whatever tempest or raging battle.
Together were strong. Together were an unbeatable team. So lets do it together, Amen? Together were a majority, even if
in the physical you may look ridiculously outnumbered (IV:191)

Youve got to cling to what youve got with all your might and not allow folks to steal it or take it from you. Youve got to
fight for it. It may not seem like the politically correct thing to do, to fight for your religious conviction, nor is it something
you feel like doing, but even for your own sake youve got to do it, because they wont rest until youre defeated.
Its a fight to the finish; a fight unto death. Theyre of course fueled by the adversary, but youre fueled and empowered by
Me, and I need you to prove to them Who is stronger in the long run, even though youre so vastly outnumbered.
Once again I need to show that one small man with Me on his side is more powerful than large armies and giants. Even the
Israelite army was intimidated by Goliath just as many from your ranks are awed by all the Systems rah-rah. But it still
takes just one small man with the necessary faith to defeat the big mouth of the System.
They may all feel like running, but if youre going to stand your ground and refuse to be intimidated, you can win the
decisive battle for the entire army.
If I have done it before and I have worked that way before, why wouldnt I do it again?
More often than not, I have availed Myself of single men instead of armies.
So be not dismayed or even astonished if you seem to be the only one on your particular battle field
Its fairly normal, if you look at the history of My people.
Just remember David and the Israelite army shivering before Goliath, if you ever feel tempted to be discouraged by the fact
that not too many are standing by your side. Neither did they stand by David, but I with him was all the company he needed
to defeat the System bigmouth.
Dont look behind you anymore and wonder, Where on Earth is everybody? Dont be discouraged in the least, nor
surprised, if they wont come or show up, either. This is your battle, and once youll have won it, theyre going to come
storming after the rest of the Philistines, too. But for starters, they always need someone to remind them that one man with
God on his side is a majority against all the Enemy can muster up!
You can make all the difference in the world, just by determining to believe that Im not limited by many or by few, and one
person truly yielded to Me can be more useful to Me under the right circumstances than a whole army of folks who still
havent grasped the difference between flesh and spirit.
Im still the God and champion of the poor, the small, the despised and downtrodden, who will nonetheless stare bravely
into the face of a foe who vastly outnumbers them. (IV:220)

I am the Lord of Hosts, the Leader of the Armies of Heaven, and I would not be much of a warlord if I couldnt use My
soldiers and put them into strategic positions of potentially greatest usefulness for My purpose, Cause and campaign, and
if I couldnt drill and train them into states of willingness and unquestioning obedience, which is probably another term
that kind of people might have a problem with
Certain things are just required if youre planning on winning a war, instead of leaving the field to the enemy. (IV:221)

I would like to avail Myself of you, if you're ready for it.

The devil is going to fight it, but it's time you really start fulfilling your destiny and fight! (IV:226)

Even though life is a battle, its a lot easier to fight when you know for sure youve got Me on your side, and you dont let
the enemy persuade you otherwise, to the point where you sometimes tend to think that youve got Me to fight against as
well.
While the battle is real and it is there, the way to win that battle is by availing yourself of Me, My Presence, love and
protection.

712
Once youre inside the protective bubble of My love, the enemy wont stand a chance against you anymore, thats why hes
trying so hard to keep you from getting there, into that secret place under My wings every morning. Once youre Here, hes
the loser, and he wont stand a chance.
You can see the light, or tell the light is there by the contrast against the dark: you can tell what impact the light, or My
influence on your life has by comparison with the times when its not there, and you allow the enemy to interfere. You can
tell the battle and all Im telling you is real because of the very real attacks of the enemy, and by the results of what
happens when you neglect Me or to do the things I tell you (IV:247)

Dont even worry about having to fight this war, because its not you having to do the fighting in your own strength, but as
for My children of old, I will fight for you!
Stand back and see Me fight! This is My battle, really! Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (Rom.12:19).
All youve got to know is that Im on your side; in other words, the acquisition of faith is all you need, along with the
wielding of the sword of the Spirit: both are obtained by My Word or represent a manifestation of My Word, so the Word is
really the A and O. In the Beginning was the Word, and thats whats going to win the final and decisive battle, too. (IV:259)

How can we be more than conquerors? - By being good losers! You can show that youre more than a conqueror, that
youre an overcomer, by being a good loser in the game and battle of life, and determining that youre just going to keep on
fighting, keep making an effort and keep giving it your best and your all, regardless of whether you happen to be caught in
a losing streak of not. Why? Because you know from My Promises that youre going to wind up as a winner anyway, come
what may! Youre destined to win! No factor in your present situation is going to change anything about that. So you keep
your eyes on the victory at the end of the road and you keep a victorious attitude, because you know you believe, which
means you know by faith that youre destined to win. (IV:279)

I hope youre smart enough to put on your armor before you march out onto the battle field, and that is simply what each
day of your life constitutes.
There is no way around this battle and this fight, so the best you can do is be smart and put on your armor and grab your
weapons, and not murmur and whine about the tough circumstances on the battle field, but fight with all youve got,
wreaking slaughter upon your Enemy!
Do you think I would send you out into this battle if I would not know that you have got what it takes for it? If I would not
know that I have equipped you sufficiently for it?
Yes, they may vastly outnumber you, and the odds may seem overwhelming. But isnt it so that Im not limited to saving
My own either by many or few? Havent you learned that numbers are irrelevant to Me, and that I can cause you to win any
battle against any odds?
Thats the factor youve got to keep your eyes on, the fact that no matter what the odds be against you, you are destined to
win!
Its the seeming losers that I have chosen to win the whole world for Me!
At least you know for Whom and for what you fight! (IV:280)

Variety is the spice of life, even on the battle field. Different tactics will teach you different modes of defense, and maybe
you can even learn a little something from your opponent about offensive warfare. (IV:282)

When youre in battle mode everything seems to be so tougher, harder, and less pleasant.
And yet, battle mode is the more truthful mode, because it does a more accurate job of representing the real state of affairs
between Me and the world.
The moments of peace are nice, and I can relate to your enjoying them, but the actual state of affairs is war, and no amount
of moments of truce can change anything about that.
Some people are not aware of the battle and the evil thats taking place on their own turf. They only see the foreign evil,
and the picture of evil is elsewhere.
What I need most desperately, is not a bunch of philosophic thinkers, no matter how inspired they are, but honest-to-God
warriors and fighters!
I need you for a more important task than supplying the world with some more nice philosophical thought. I need someone
to be actually fighting on the real frontlines of My war, not just another bunch of wise guys standing from afar analyzing
and dissecting the scenery and making smart comments on the situation. (IV:287)

Being perfectly loving also means to be totally opposed to hatred, and this includes a certain determination against
incorrigibly hateful forces, such as those of Satan, which will have to be abolished before that universal peace on earth
could ever take place.
Theres a war going on
Whats happening in this war is that the enemy is successfully bribing a lot of people who are supposedly fighting on My
side, but for gain are watering down the message, a message that denies the reality of the war thats raging, a message of
false peace, just like that of the false prophets of old. (IV:301)

Some are trying to dodge the battle altogether, but thats what fighters are born and called to do: fight!
How hard do you fight in order to overcome? (IV:313)

Its a fight, and fight you must, in order to strengthen your spiritual muscles. (IV:327)

713
Youre not going to become stronger, or better able to withstand the devils onslaughts by seeking ways to make it easier
for yourself.
This was the enemys plan, to weaken you to the point where you would be left pretty much defenseless and weak, and
subject to his onslaughts full barrel. May it be a lesson to you, what a cunning and sly enemy youre dealing with here, and
to what lengths he goes in order to plan your defeat.
Its a war for real, after all, and the battles are real, and the enemy isnt just messing around.
Hes serious about killing your faith, about killing you, if he can! Hes serious about destroying you, your testimony and
the impact you could have on the world for Me.
Do you think it behooves you to fight as if everything depended on fighting and striking back and defending what territory
youve got left before he moves in and will have the whole tent?
I was hoping to have an offensive warfare going on, but many of My disciples hardly even know how to successfully fight a
defensive warfare enabling them to just keep their heads above water. It seems as if some of them are prone to drown in a
flood of self-pity the enemy immerses them in, about their own plight, the hardness of their situation and cruelty of their
fate theyre having to deal with
So, maybe you havent been fighting as it behooves you to fight? Maybe youve allowed the enemy to strike and land a
major blow to you, allowed him to crack and seep into your armor, to weaken you, when perhaps you should have been
fighting a lot harder?
Yes, sure, all hell broke loose. And you werent prepared for it. Sorry for having to wake you up to the reality that theres a
war going on here!
Sorry for having to welcome you to the fact that youre on a battle field, not a playground. Theres a war going on you
wont get around fighting.
As much as you may tend to avoid opposition and confrontation, you wont be able to avoid this one in the long run. If you
try to run away from it, or you surrender to it or passively try to evade it, its only going to kill you! Theres no other option
than to strike back! Youve got to fight! For Gods sake, fight for God! (IV:355)

It's a battle. A battle is something fierce, especially for soldiers who aren't used to them. (IV:391)

What you need to remember and be clear about is Who youre supposed to be fighting for: is it just yourself or a greater
Cause?
Youve got to fight persistently in order to reach your desired goal, and you cannot give up too easily at the first sight of
either resistance or even lack of support from your allies.
In the end what will determine your personal outcome and success in your battle is your own persistence and
determination to keep fighting, your own personal refusal to give up.
So keep fighting, Amen? If what is required most in stewards is that a man be found faithful, then make that your personal
quest: to be and stay faithful, and not quit, but to keep fighting, no matter what!
If youve learned something along the lines of persistence and what it means to stick to the battle and to the fight and not
give up, whos to say that thats not going to be the decisive lesson that will have made all the difference in the world?
(IV:427)

Now you know what its like to be actually fighting for love, not just to be talking about it, dreaming about it, or singing nice
songs about it! Welcome to the club! Welcome to My war! This is what Im fighting for; the type of odds Im up against, and
Im glad youre getting this chance to have a little taste and glimpse of how it feels to be wanting to salvage your bride out
of some pretty chaotic mess. (IV:437)

Thats the beautiful thing about the kind of scars you carry away from this spiritual warfare: theyre not ugly, like carnal
wounds and scars, but theyre actually beautiful and make you more beautiful in the spirit.
You always figured that scars were something ugly. - But not so these marks from your spiritual battle wounds. Theyre
really like badges of honor, and they dont make you any uglier at all, but really enhance your spiritual appearance. (IV:499)

While I want you to be happy and enjoy life, you must never forget that were still at war; youre on hostile territory, and
while I do protect you, if the Enemy could, hed wipe you out, so it pays to stay on guard and be alert. (2011:4)

Sometimes it will take an effort and cost you something to fight for your time with Me, and its good, because it shows how
much it actually means to you. (2011:25)

As you continue fighting you will also gain greater victories, regardless of your doubts whether youre capable or not Its
not your own strength thats relevant, but Mine in you. (2011:43)

Guard your flame! There were going to be serious challenges threatening to put it out, and it will sometimes require a real
fight and effort to keep it burning! You have to guard and defend it with your life, as if your life depended on it, and when it
all comes down to it, it does.
Life simply isnt always just easy or a piece of cake, but a genuine fight and battle at times, and it requires fighting for
whatever is most important to you. (2011:46)

It's a battle and you consciously must fight for the good and positive mindset to take over the negative, it doesn't happen
by itself or by passively waiting for something good to happen or come along and cheer you up. (2011:66)

714
You know how tedious life can be when you try to fight those battles in your own strength, and slowly youre starting to
become smart enough not to leave Me out of the picture. (2011:76)

It has always been and remains a battle to put Me first in your life. (2011:91)

My battle has always been about something more than words. What people resented most about Me were My actions
(2011: 104)

I know who My true warriors are, who'll never accept a truce with the machines.
If I allow you to create circumstances for yourself that are too comfortable, you quickly snap out of fighting mode and are
all too easily ready to settle for some sort of peaceful coexistence with evil. (2011: 108)

Its quite common for aging heroes to have a shift in priorities as they sense the energy dwindling that once made them
so brave apart from the fact that it seems as if youre in your fight alone without assistance from anyone but Me.
I know what it is to fight for the truth on your own, without any support from anyone, just perhaps some vague sympathies
from afar off while you carry your cross (2011: 130)

Sometimes youve got to fight for your faith to make things happen, and even for that peace you long for.
There are forces at work that would rob you of those things. Your duty is to hang on to them and fight for them.
Its a fight, alright, but I never claimed that it would be a piece of cake or a vacation (2011:131)

The Devil will seek to foil My plan of Salvation for people in any way he can... And it's part of the life of faith to recognize
and fight him as your Enemy. It's part of the deal that it's going to be a fight after you get saved, because you'll be on the
right side then, and fighting on the good side, and fight you must, in order to declare that you don't belong to the wrong
side anymore. Not many people are up for that fight, it's true, which is another factor that makes it even harder to "sell"
Salvation to them, and I never said that it was going to be easy. I'm just saying, remember, this is supposed to be your
job... (2012:1)

One difference between school time and battle time: There may not be much of a break or vacation from the war
And if you do get one, dont forget that its just a ceasefire, and the next assault may be just around the bend.
Remember, its a war, its a bloody battle, turn around, get up, put your armor back on, grit your teeth and get back in there,
remembering youre fighting for the side thats invincible, no matter how repulsive the multitude of adversaries
Dont make this personal, or youll be defeated. Remember Whose war it is youre fighting, Whose side youre on, and that
its not yours, but the Ones Who simply cant lose, and thus, neither can you.
So get up and walk, march on victorious, because that is what you are. (2012:26)

If you realize whats going on, and why you feel so miserable at times, namely because youre under attack from the
powers that rule this world, then its no wonder, nor any occasion to complain, but rather, the time to fight.
Complaining doesnt really do anything to improve the situation; in fact, it only makes matters worse and gives the Enemy
a sense of victory. If he can get you to complain, murmur and get all down and grumpy about your fate, then he has just
about won the day.
If you tend to wonder why your life seems to be tougher than anyone elses at times, then its because you forgot what
youre up against, what youre in this for and what youre supposed to be doing here.
Can you imagine a soldier on a battle field trying to figure out what hes supposed to be doing there, having forgotten that
hes at war and in the midst of a battle to the death?
Well, maybe this should lend some emphasis to the importance of remembering what youre here for and the purpose of
your mission. Fun is not the all-in-all, but victory is, since its only alternative is defeat, which youll agree is unacceptable.
Just because you can be assured that no matter what, youll somehow be okay in the end, doesnt mean that youre
supposed to be passively and fatalistically drifting along lifes stream without ever having to fight. (2012:27)

Im the one Factor that can make all the difference in the world in your life, so think how vehemently the opposing forces
will fight to keep you from making that happen, and fight back accordingly, defending this greatest treasure in your life
with all youve got. (2012:34)

Its a dangerous mission, and you can bet the Enemy would love to see you foil it and mess it up. He hates and resents you
with a vengeance, and of course he kindles that same resentment in those who are his.
What else would you expect in a war? You cant expect everyone to be friendly and polite in a war, but rather that they
those fighting on the other side are hell-bent on destroying you.
What they dont know but you ought to is that they dont really stand a chance if Im with you, and all they can really do is
keep annoying you, by which the devil hopes to cause you to make some bad mistake that might cost you a victory and
result in temporary defeat.
Thats why youve got to be and stay on guard, know what youre dealing with and confront it in the right spirit and with the
right weapons; not your own anger, but commit them into My hands in prayer and let Me deal with them My way. (2012:42)

Life is not the nightmare you sometimes make it out to be, even if the world has certainly reached nightmarish conditions
in many aspects.

715
The thing is that with all the nightmare conditions around you, youve still got to remember Im in control, and through Me
you will overcome the nightmare and come out on top.
Its a tough fight against an unfair and mean adversary, and he will deal you many a surprising and unexpected blow, but in
the long run, no matter how many points he scores, youll come out victorious. (2012:56)

Every time you get tempted to quit and throw in the towel, its a minor victory for the Devil, because hes accomplished
exactly what he wanted, and he sneers in My face with glee, You see? Hes ready to quit! Hes giving up!
My challenge is to keep fighting, to keep going, even when it seems like youre losing, even when everything seems to be
of no avail, maybe pointless, without rhyme or reason, instead of doing what many people may feel tempted to do: quit.
The Devil is doing his job, alright, but as long as youre doing yours, which is to just keep hanging in there, continue to
fight and refuse to give in, and thus continuing to overcome, he doesnt stand a serious chance. (2012:76)

What you have to realize is that this is not a battle with lifes circumstances or someone else giving you a hard time, but a
battle with the enemy of your soul.
And hes playing for keeps, and hes playing dirty, so its about time you start fighting back and start taking the fight
seriously, focusing on keeping a grip on your spiritual weaponry. (2012:94)

Life is still a fight. The good news is, youre much closer to the end of it than when you started out. You wont see
everything clearly until youve made it, the fight is over and youve won that final victory. Until then it just remains, well, a
fight through the haze and the fog by faith! (2012:121)

Calling it a truce with the evil forces and doing nothing, folks basically cooperate with them, give them the green light to
do whatever they will, since they simply wont interfere and wont do anything to stop or oppose them.
Youve declared war on them and thus have a much tougher lot in many aspects. The only comfort youve got is that Im
fighting with you, since you put yourself on My side, but the Devil tries relentlessly to discourage you and get you to give
up, and at times he gets quite close to succeeding
Everybody complains about the fight when theyre in the middle of it, except for a few, exceptional, relentless fighters and
warriors
Wit certainly isnt all it takes to make it in this fight, but determination and persistence can even be more valuable when
youre fighting a war. (2012:145)

The one primarily to blame when things go wrong is yourself, often mainly because you failed to prepare yourself for the
challenges of spiritual warfare. (2012:147)

You should get on guard against all the evils that surround you, a more conscious state of the spiritual warfare thats
going on, back into the mode of fighting a spiritual battle, instead of passively drifting down the stream of life, basically
heading nowhere, making no upstream progress and allowing you to slide ever further downhill, instead
In order to make any kind of progress it requires some determination, resolution, effort and fight to put into it, not just an
idle gear cruising along, letting your life be swayed about by whatever wind of circumstance happens to blow. Youve got
to take charge and take the helm, take the initiative of making sure youre reaching your destination.
You cannot just allow your enemies to run all over you. Youve got to claim the authority in the spirit thats yours to claim!
The dark spiritual forces around you try to mock you and push you around to see how far they can go with you, but you
must not let them.
If your spiritual opponents are tougher than what youve encountered before, it can be tiring, debilitating and intimidating.
But once you take on the challenge, accept it, and stand your ground, youll have grown a bit stronger than you were
before. (2012:168)

Its your choice, daily, who youre going to listen to, whom youre seeking to please.
Its a rough fight, and those who know Me ought to be aware of that fact, that fight, and just do it.
To put your faith in Me and My Word is the only foundation that will withstand the fiery trials and tests, floods and storms
of this life. All other ground is sinking sand
How do you think you will attain the strength that is needed to overcome adversaries, without battles to fight that will teach
you how to fight them, and hardships to go through that will teach you to overcome? (2013:2)

Yes, its a fight, so what? Keep punching the devil, and accept the fact that this is largely what life is about.
Those few days in-between that dont seem to present any challenge or battle are just a few vacation bonuses strewn in for
having done a decent job in dealing with life in general.
Be a fighter to the end, relentless! Thats what counts and what matters! Dont let the old devil persuade you with his dirty
tricks to give up, even if youre all alone in this fight! (2013:7)

In a spiritual fight it pays to be strong enough to take on the enemy, and not allow certain factors to weaken you that might
cause them to see you as a pushover.
Its good youre becoming aware of what youre up against and recognize the need for greater strength in order to make it.
(2013:25)

In order to wage truly victorious warfare in the long run, youre going to have to know your enemys tactics and strategies.
(2013:35)

716
The way to get to victory is through fighting and not just letting circumstances drag you down and defeat you! You could
and you should make it, and not surrender or quit fighting. Dont give up so easily and prematurely! (2014:18)

Some situations are a bit like battles of life; and I hope youll manage to win some victories in the end (2014:28)

The enemy will try to make you doubt your faith thats the battle and fight he causes, and you know you have such
battles to deal with and keep fighting them until you win.
You can win the battle, because Im on your side and giving you power and force to win each battle against the enemy and
his doubts (2014:43)

Every now and then youre woken up to the fact that youve got to keep up the fight against the evil one; and that you
desperately need My help to make it through this world and thus stay in prayer (2014:61)

Remember its a battle and a spiritual war going on. Being on the good side will only help much in this position and
situation when youre getting used to fighting the battle before you with some of that good force on your side.
If you feel the devil and his ilk attacking you, its a good time to find out how much you can stand and resist them.
Especially when youve just been weakened a few months ago in a way that your spirit isnt as strong as you remember it
once was and you can tell that theres a big attack going on and happening.
Its time to be aware of and become ready to deal with it, ready not to ignore the enemys force! (2014:68)

If youre under a hard spiritual attack and notice it, its a time to pray, time to get desperate a time to get back on the
attack because youre feeling that otherwise youre being attacked. (2014:84)

The one whos running this world since Adam and Eve practically gave it over to him thousands of years ago, is still
capable of doing a lot of harm if you dont stay on guard, and dont stay on the defence against him.
Never cease being alert against the devil, your enemy; because if he doesnt attack right away, it does not mean that hes
not planning a more brutal, evil and vicious attack against you than you might be expecting. (2014:85)

If youre in a spiritual war, but your spiritual enemy chooses to hide from your view, it means he may harm you with a
surprise attack you wont be prepared for (2014:89)

You shouldnt forget about or underestimate the enemy, whos pretty much ruling most of the world, and able to harm you,
if youre not actively on the defence against him!
Failure to defend yourself properly against the enemy and underestimating him neglects your spiritual defence and
protection.
Keep fighting against the enemy, and remember that if you dont, he might abuse the state youre allowing yourself to sink
into and take advantage of it. Some damage might happen to you that way you would have been able to avoid if you had
stayed in the appropriate gear of self-defence, availing yourself of My Power to protect you! (2014:106)

Just as life for Me is a battle, you will win in the end, fighting for it, much more than by just giving up! He that fights for Me
will receive a crown of life, which can not so easily be said about those who start fighting for Me, but then give up!
Dont give up, but continue fighting and keeping it up for Me and for your faith! Keeping it up is definitely better and worth
it more than giving up the fight!
If you can just keep on believing and fighting for your faith and to keep keeping it up, that faith, itll be worth it. Trust Me
for it! (2014:166)

Its a rough and tough life. But what do you expect from a world currently run by the enemy?
What it should cause you to do is get your spirit into a fighting gear against him, and not just react passively to all that
happens. Go and stay on the attack against him, and dont just passively put up with everything!
Its a battle going on, and a tough one. Thats why its good to keep Us on your mind, in order to win your part of the battle.
(2014:167)

Stay on the right track, in the right Spirit and on the defence Its a war of the spirit, remember that? And that means,
youve got to withstand and resist his demons, not believe them and give in to them. (2014:181)

Lifes a battle, and a fight, and a fairly tough one against the devil, whos running this world for right now. So, staying on
the attack or at least the defence against him is something you ought to do, along with everyone who firmly believes in Me.
(2014:185)

See it as the battle of life: The devil does all he can to try to snatch away your faith, and if you can manage to keep it
anyway, itll make it worth it all! Even if its a tough battle: Can you keep trying to win it for Me, instead of giving up and
losing it? Could you refuse letting the enemy cheat you out of the victory, no matter how hard he keeps trying? Youll
eventually see: It will have been worth it.
If its a battle to keep your faith, youll realize what life is all about. And if you can keep fighting in order to hold on to it,
youll have won the battle. Sounds much better than losing it, doesnt it? (2014:196)

717
If you need to make it against the devil, you need My help to make it, and its good for you to get into the gear of getting it,
not just keep assuming you can make it against him by yourself. After all, hes got a lot of followers in the world that can
make your life pretty difficult and try to end it.
Its a pretty tough battle and a hard fight to make it and stay alive, having to fight against a large majority of people in his
service who consider you their enemy and want to get rid of you. (2014:199)

The fun time of life can eventually be over, and the real fighters prove that they got the point by managing to fight and
make it anyway. (2015:50)

Its a rough and tough battle youre having to make it through, but for that youll just have to keep availing yourself of My
counsel, encouragement and help; and if you do, you can tell that your faith is definitely helpful and useful, and will cause
you to win the upper hand in those battles, and youre going to manage to obtain some daily victories very useful and
helpful to give you courage for the fairly dark future up ahead, down there! (2015:61)

Remember, it's a battle, so you've got to keep fighting the enemy, and don't let him ruin your day! (2015:101)

Acting victoriously means, youll be one of those wholl win the spiritual war over the world that will turn into something
more and greater than invisible for you! If you look at the numerous ways in which the enemys powers are already
becoming visible down there, trust Me that Mine and Ours will be, too! (2015:104)

Get the enemy out by getting the host of Heaven in through prayer! (2015:125)

Keep that bit of faith you have, and dont let the enemy snap it away from you with his negative attacks! Youll realize
someday that the fight and the battle to hang and hold on to it will have been worth it, and worth more than what those get
out of life who turn their backs on Us and dont feel like going this way of faith all the way to the end.
I know its a battle and its tough, and not many have been able to see it through until the end, but if youll make it, I
promise it will be worth it, youll see. (2015:141)

Winning others over Here, where the true Life unfolds, even if it may take faith to believe in it, with the devil doing all he
can to destroy it. Well, thats what the battle is all about, and youve just got to keep fighting to uphold it! (2015:149)

Stay on the attack and on the defense, since life isnt always going to stay easy and harmless!
Life is a toughie. And accordingly, you have to stay in the right gear to make it through it. Dont take things for granted and
stay aware of the fact that hard times may be all around, even if they come unexpectedly. (2015:159)

If the devils still giving you a hell of a hard time, just let it remind you that youd better get on the defensive against his
attacks, since major battle time definitely seems like whats on the schedule before you to be dealt with!
Dont give up too soon, and dont let him win the battle, but keep fighting until you do!
When the things that are important to Me finally also become important to you, instead of the things that used to be, youre
much closer to My will and your purpose. But it also means, much more reason for the enemy to do all he can to stop you
from operating so, more battles to deal with! (2015:170)

Just remember that down there, where the surroundings pretty much run by the enemy, the situation is not going to be
perfect or totally enjoyable. He keeps attacking every now and then. But remember that Our sides more powerful, as the
ultimate outcome of that warfare is going to reveal! So, even if its a bit tough for you now, and its going to get tougher,
ultimately, youre on the winning side, and the enemys going to be the loser, along with his bunch of fallen and descended
helpers. (2015:171)

Being a prophet or servant of Mine hasnt really commonly been associated with or as party-time!
Its commonly been more referred to as battle-time, or war of the Spirit instead of holidays. (2015:178)

To resist all the temptations through which the enemy makes life even tougher, well, it may be a hard, tough battle to fight,
and its pretty rough, but its really the only thing that gives life some decent sense.
Because just taking the role of a victim of the evil ones and what theyre doing certainly wouldnt be truly satisfactory,
would it? Whereas resisting them and their temptation has some promising rewards!
So, can you still believe it, that itll be worth it to hang on to your faith in this relatively tough battle?
Its a rough one, this battle to fight for the sake of keeping a faith that the ruling deities of the planet and nearly all their
subjects try to snatch away from you It makes you desire death at times, even regardless of whether its a fact that
theres Heaven waiting for you after this, or not You just want that battle and fight to be over.
Then again if I keep telling you to just keep holding on and keep fighting a little bit longer? For Our sake and the sake
of those who could still wind up Here, too, if youd give them the chance to find the Salvation for which I came and died, to
bring hope for the Hereafter to the world? (2015:182)

Its a rough and tough situation with the enemy having pretty much taken over the world, and getting quite close to pretty
much total control and power down there, and for a subject and follower of Mine, that presents quite a battle. (2015:185)

Its a battle; and youve just got to keep fighting and do all you can in order to win the fight and obtain the victory! (2015:204)
718
Fight as hard as you can against the enemy, and do all you can to not let him succeed!
As miserable as you may feel, and as prone and tempted to give up, dont let him win, but keep resisting him and his
efforts with all you can! (2015:214)

Its not an easy life, but a battle down there, as one of the devils enemies.
Do what you can to deal with him, withstand him and overcome his attacks! Even though its a tough battle, lean on the
fact that being on My side, Im also on yours, and ultimately more powerful than our enemy.
You can make it against him. Through Me, and all the help from Above! (2015:231)

In a world taken over by the enemy of Love, its a fight, and a battle, constantly having to resist and withstand that enemy;
and when youve been used to quite an easier life-style, its hard to get used to having to fight that battle! (2015:237)

I know its a fight But, hey, what else do you want to fight for, but the good and positive, especially in a world being run
over by the force of evil, and thus the sheep out there needing positive input and spirits more than ever?
So, dont let the negative vibes of the enemy conquer you, but keep on fighting for the good, as rare as its becoming!
(2016:2)

Its rough and tough to stick to fighting the battle for your faith, but those that manage to keep fighting are those that will
get honored and blessed with the rewards for not having their faith allowed to die or go down the drain due to the enemys
attacks against it. (2016:9)

Its a tough battle, but the way to win it, is to learn to focus on the Spirit, and win it through the Spirit! (2016:27)

Dont expect life to be like a vacation, but more like a battle, and a cause for a relatively tough job to do for Me and the
coming Kingdom! (2016:35)

The state of the world is a reminder that life isnt a permanent vacation or good time, unfortunately, but a major fight,
resistance and defense against the evil forces taking it over.
If youre feeling attacked, remember the enemy would like to get rid of you! He hates all those who remind folks of what he
seeks to make them forget. (2016:48)

Even if things arent perfect, fight to make the best out of them you can with My Help! So, keep fighting, My dear! Dont
give in to the devils down-kicks and attempts to drag you down into a defeated temper! (2016:61)

Pretty important to stay on the channel of love, isnt it?

That means, if the enemys trying to get you off that channel, its something you really ought to fight against with all your
might! Dont see those around you as enemies, but the one ruling from behind the scene! The one youve got to fight
against is the one trying to stop you from being able to love, not the ones around you youre supposed to love! (2016:88)

Remember, its a battle and a fight spiritual warfare you have to go through and learn how to deal and cope with!
See it as training youre going through like the way soldiers have to go through military training before they can be sent off
to war. Not that Im in favor of worldly warfare, but its a physical example you can use to help you understand our spiritual
warfare. (2016:96)

If tough circumstances are giving you a hard time, dont see it as a sign that Im letting you down, but rather as a reminder
to keep fighting!
Fighting against the enemy of the Creator is a tough one, and the challenge is just to hang in there and not to give up. So,
keep hanging in, no matter what, Amen?
Remember youve got the most powerful enemy there is with all his hoards, whose primary current goal is to attempt to get
you to give up and give in! But resist those attempts of evil, and make your faith come to life that tells you that My Power
to help you overcome them is greater! (2016:144)

Its the enemys scheme to squash that faith anybody has in whats not seen especially if thats coming from My side, not
one of his but thats why its a battle, and youve got to keep fighting for your faith. (2016:184)

What can you expect from a world run by Gods enemy? And, of course, it takes a heroic attitude with courage, to have to
go through an existence confronting him. To fight the good fight of faith. (17:9)

If your days are full of battles, its a reminder that its a spiritual war going on, and youre supposed to fight, not allow the
devil to drag you down! So, dont let him, but resist him!
If lifes a tough one, just realize that theres a lot to learn about negative and selfish attitudes! And one of the things to
learn is that, its a fight to overcome them. So, fight the good fight of faith! (17:26)

Remember what battles are for: to fight, in order to get the victory!
If circumstances down there give you battles, well, thats just something youre going to have to get used to, and fight for
the victory with the Help youll get for it from Up Here!
719
Remember, its a war of the spirit, so youve just got to fight! Fight for the victory! And dont surrender to the
circumstances or negative moods the enemys trying to get you down with! (17:75)

With the enemy and his demons fighting My believers, its not easy, and its a battle, but the goal is that you become a
winner, even if he tries all he can to make you look like a loser, and be a loser, if you give in to him.
Thats why youve got to resist the devil, and he will flee from you! Thats one of the tasks for My believers to manage
to defend themselves against the evil attacks of our enemy. (17:94)

Challenge means, something to fight against. And what is it you have to fight against in this world? The enemys evil,
including his influences on the world, including yourself! (17:104)

Life is a spiritual war. Thats why you shouldnt be too shocked about each day starting with a battle. At least you can
know youre on the right side, even if its the tougher one, the one on which the enemy will give you all the battles he can
in order to get you to surrender and quit.
But hanging in there in spite of them is what will get you your rewards.
Faithfulness includes being a faithful fighter. - And not giving up. So, keep resisting him, Amen? And whats the
Promise? - He will flee from you.
Becoming a faithful fighter - instead of a quitter - is what the life of faith is all about. So, just keep fighting! - Amen? Keep
fighting, remembering youre on the Winners side, even if during this life and on the physical side it may not always seem
like it, with the folks majority obviously continuing to vote for him, accepting his deceit and temptations.
Thats why Im proud of My resisters, even if theyre the minority by far. Or perhaps especially because they are.
So, make that effort to see those battles from a positive point of view! Its the tough part, living in a world run by Gods -
and ultimately, His creations - enemy, but remember that fighting for the right side will have its rewards! And - apart from
that - what would be the alternative? Youve seen enough of the world to realize that there truly isnt one in it that would
make it different and not a battle.
My true followers are fighters. - Fighters against the just about current flow of evil down there thats increasing and
growing into its worst part of world history. (17:114)

Life may be a downright battle but thats what our connection is all about: to help you make it through it and complete
your sense and purpose of that life-through-a-battle.
As conscious and aware you are of the enemy and his spiritual reign over the world - soon to become physical - you
should stay more aware of the fact that what it means and includes for you is that daily battle against his evil. - His
influences on you and your surroundings and against you - his attacks.
Keep up your shield of resistance against him and remember: Resist the enemy, and he will flee from you!
Keep up that shield of resistance against him that Paul mentioned! Youve got that sword of the Spirit in your hand, but
dont forget the shield of resistance!
It means, you dont just need physical protection, but also spiritual shelter from the enemys spiritual attacks.
And as you can tell that each day is being a spiritual battle, you ought to be aware of the necessity of defense.
By having chosen as weak a warrior as you, I will be able to display My Strength and Power through it - and through you -
all the more. (17:125)

The surroundings are mainly influenced by the enemys forces, and youve just got to resist them and fight against them!
Its still a fight of faith; and as you may have noticed: Its getting tougher.
So, keep shooting and aiming for the victory! (17:132)

Make it through the daily battles with the sword of the Spirit, and dont forget the shield of faith to protect and defend you,
and wear the rest of that armor (Eph.6:14-17) as much as you can, since the blackest and toughest stretch of the war of the
worlds is about to hit that globe, and not too many are gifted to make it through that! (17:134)

 What Jesus Had 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:16)

If you had perfect faith, nothing wavering, I wouldnt have to test your faith anymore. (I:55)

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! (I:77)

Life is a school in which you are being tested, taught and prepared for greater purposes hereafter.
Yet all you can think about is your fun. Whens the bell gonna ring, so I can run out and have fun with my friends? You try
to get by with the least necessary amount of effort invested in My studies, hoping youll just about make the grade in order
to enjoy both, the fun and pleasures here and now, and the rewards later. Youll be sorry one day, and 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 youre going to be willing to give it back to Me. Its
like playing ball with a very young child. At first they want to keep the ball for themselves and they run off with it and shake
their head when you say and beckon, Cmon, roll it back to me! Youve wondered sometimes how kids could be so dumb,
right? Well, there you go. (I:82)

Sometimes I manage to break someone, and their ego is shattered on the ground, and when they dont 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 and egotism. (I:92)

Yes, there are trials and 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:100)

I lead you down the rugged paths into the abyss and 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 didnt have to go through the hardships his father had to go through, which made him appreciate the
kingdom, for he didnt just receive it by birth, he couldnt 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. Its those many afflictions
and 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 dont appreciate them, but are taking them for granted.
Satan is My sheepdog. And even those judgments Im 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. (I:107)

When you will come to be with Me, all your sorrows, your battles, your trials, will all fade away in an instant and will seem
ridiculously insignificant. (I:125)

If you want the full reward, the full blessing, youll have to go through the hard times, full length, breadth and width.
Glory in your sufferings, excel in your tough times... thats rising above. To smile in situations where others would despair.
To be calm when others would freak out. To feel safe and secure when there is nothing to hold on to, no rope, no net only
My invisible hand. Trust in the face of adversity. (I:135)

When you cant look anywhere but up, lying flat on your backs, I can get through to you the best and 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
721
situation, or having to repeat this lesson later. In other words, the progress is slower than when one sticks to the situation
theyre in. But I give you choices and vents to ease your pains and trials.
There IS no perfect situation on Earth.
The question is, are you strong enough to stick it out here until youve got the victory? Are you willing to obtain a
complete victory over your trials by faith and 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 and 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. (I:143)

The only thing you have thats just as real as what Weve got Up Here is the Spirit. Though human spirits on Earth are
encased in earthen vessels, its the raw material that My Kingdom is made of. It still has to be refined, processed and
purified, which is the painful process of trials and testings. You are the diamonds were digging out of the mines of the
darkness of your physical world...
Only that darkness could bring forth such precious jewels and gems. Without the additional beauty from the sufferings of
the present world, the final outcome wouldnt be the same... Its the touch that leaves the beholder breathless. (I:151)

Even if it looks like everything is lost and all the progress you made is blown to the wind, those are just the storms of
testing that blow away the chaff and that which remains is the worthwhile stuff, the material worth keeping. (I:178)

Endure hardness as a good soldier! (I:190)

It is more blessed to live a sacrificial life of hardships and sufferings than a life of ease. (I:195)

There is a reason why things are tough and tight. In emergency situations I draw people together. For when things are
rough and not as usual, nobody can just bear their own burden anymore, but people have to flock together, join their
resources and pitch in together. (I:218)

I have to allow troubles in your life, for without them, youd be self-satisfied... (I:259)

Testings, trials, purgings, and then some more testings... Its a rough and tough exam youre 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 youre
not so attached, so affected by all thats going on in the World.
If youd spend more time with Me about your issues, youd find out that Ill 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, and 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.! (I:268)

Things only become too much to handle when you dont perfectly rely on Me. There are situations in life, where
circumstances seem to push you to the edge; the absolute extreme and limit of just about as far as you can go before
youre about to quit and yell at the Enemy, I surrender! Thats what you call tests, but thats the only way I can train you
for this war.
If you cant handle the situation anymore, just say sincerely: Sorry, but Ive got to get a hold of the Lords mind for this
situation first right now, so, would you mind if I just take a break and pray for a few minutes? Or, Come on, lets pray
together! (I:281)

Living in the darkness is just drifting along effortlessly, but living in the light is a constant struggle and fight! Its
dangerous, because youre exposed to your enemies, and they come to pick at you and 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,
and thats when I can use you. (I:284)

Every trial will only be another precious lesson learned, yet increasing your value. When He has tried me I shall come
forth as gold. (I:297)

Letting go of the flesh and the enticements of the world in order to put Me and My will first in your lives is a crucifixion of
the flesh, and 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,
and you are My candles and torches in the night, My diamonds of dust. You were created for this purpose, and I have
prepared you for this.
The greater the desperation, the greater the vacuum, the power with which you draw strength, energy, input and 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 and 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 and implore Me, seek Me and beg Me to fill the need. Where there is no need, there is no space to fill...
(I:302)

722
Marvel not, nor be dismayed at the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but
rejoice, for in this you shall become truly unafraid and a brave heart of gold...
Its a special destiny, a special trial, a special purging, but with a special reward. (I:303)

There will always be a few things in life you wont understand, which will be an inexplicable riddle to you. Those are My
tests and challenges for you.
Its a test of love, to see whether you will love unconditionally, a test of your loyalty to Me, to see whether youre willing to
go on for Me, even if I dont give you your hearts desire. Remember, the blessings dont precede obedience, and
sometimes there are a few things I require you to do before I can bless and reward you, and I test you and see how you will
behave even if you dont receive your hearts desire. Whether you will have a murmuring attitude about it or stay cheerful,
loving, giving and thankful for those things I do bless you with. (I:332)

In all and any challenges you face, take them as from Me, fully conscious and certain of the fact and truth of Rom.8:28, that
I know what Im doing and wouldnt allow this if I wouldnt know that this is good for you. Always see My hand in it,
whatever befalls you, and I will help you find the hidden purpose.
Dont be distracted by the ugliness the Devil wants to show you: stay focused on My beauty! (I:345)

Desperation is good for you. Its 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! (I:350)

Your life isnt just a vacation! Its a life and death battle, and it only takes an unguarded moment to let the Devil deal you a
fatal or serious blow that you might seriously regret! (I:381)

The seeds of perfection already lie in you dormant, sometimes to be seen in glimpses, when you're inspired, but you have
to go through a certain grind in life, a certain amount of pain and suffering, in order to really be made clean, pure and white
and all that I wish for you to be in eternity.
You'll see, these light afflictions will be so nothing, compared to all the wonders you will see and experience, and it will
have been worth it all. Every moment of suffering you experience in life will only enhance the joy you will feel for eternity.
Every difficult situation only serves to make you shine brighter then. Every little affliction will bring about greater
appreciation, greater ecstasy and sheer bliss and thankfulness for the perfection of My eternal Realm and all you will
encounter there.
Heaven and My eternal Kingdom will be such an exceedingly joyful place, especially because of the contrast it will be to all
that you're experiencing now. It's like the light compared to the darkness. But the darkness has its purpose, just trust Me.
(I:404)

Some people are hurting you, getting you into a resigning and rejecting mode. Don't let it be so, but embrace and receive
even those blows, the hurts inflicted on you by your brethren. It's part of being a partaker of My sufferings. (I:407)

I'm teaching you to love the imperfect more unconditionally, and I'm teaching you to love the Perfect, namely Me, more
through this all by simply driving you into My arms over and over again, desperately and helplessly looking for a solution,
and finding here strength and encouragement and wisdom to go on over and over and over again. (I:414)

I like to fulfill the desire of your heart, but it also becomes a test for you, and for Me to see whether you will still function
and stay victorious even if I take the desire of your heart away from you again, either temporarily or permanently.
Sometimes you've got to let go of something wonderful in order to find something even more wonderful, and even though
that requires faith to believe in things you cannot see, that's exactly the kind of faith I require of you and all who want to
serve Me well. (I:443)

Some encounters, acquaintances and even relationships in life are tests and lessons and learning experiences.
Those who will look to man will always fail sooner or later, because they will always discover flaws that will make them
stumble, if they look to man. Only those who look to Me will make it. Only those who can see My hand in it all, even in spite
of the failings of those who perhaps should know better, will make it. (I:464)

Maturity is caring enough to help someone else who is going through a phase of spiritual attack and weakness! (I:512)

Some things you just can't grasp or comprehend while you're going through them, but can only see properly
retrospectively, after a good while of time has passed and you see all the benefits, the positive changes that difficult
situation will have brought about in your life. How it stretched your muscles of patience, your desire to understand the
other, carnally incomprehensible side, how it contributed to making you more longsuffering, more gentle... (I:513)

When I grant you the desire of your heart, that blessing could be compared to a rose. And what do roses usually have? -
Right, thorns. "No rose without a thorn." So, why do you keep complaining about the thorns? Is that too high a price to
pay? Does that mean that, yeah, you wanted this heart's desire, but only if it comes without any problems? It's like saying
"Don't you have any roses without thorns?" Well, not if you want the real thing! "If its real things you want, it's the real
thing you'll get."
723
If you want the real thing, not the devil's cheap plastic counterfeit and imitation, if you want beauty that lasts, please,
accept the little bit of suffering it's wrapped in, along with it, otherwise you'll just be cheating yourself!
If you really want it, you're going to endure a little hardness for it, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. (I:535)

When you're desperate or battling, you're actually not any further away from Me than during the more victorious times, but
I'm closer to you then, although you may not really feel it.
Know that I am with you always when you go through a fiery trial. The times when you've recuperated from your last trial
or battle, when you feel stronger, are the times when I can actually let go of your hand for a little while and see how you'll
be faring.
But it would certainly be wise of you not to stray too far from My hand again, knowing that the next battle might just be
'round the bend, and "he that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed, lest he fall," for the unexpected assaults of the
enemy are always the toughest ones to take. So, be prepared, always! Be cautious! You're living in perilous times, both,
spiritually and physically! Constantly be on guard against any attacks from the inside or the outside!
Treat victory and battle - even seeming defeat - just the same, knowing that for you, just to be fighting spells victory.
Persistence equals victory! You've just got to keep on!
Also keep in mind the objective, and what you're fighting for: the defeat of self in favor of greater love, unselfishness and
sacrifice for others. - Learning to be there for others, and to give, not just to receive. (I:537)

It takes some scrubbing of the walls of your heart with My Word, and a few tough and trying circumstances and fiery tests
and trials to burn out the dross and get rid of the hard crusts... (I:567)

Some tests do re-occur, sometimes time and again.

If you endure hardness as a good soldier of Mine, I can encourage you that there will be an end to those trials and battles
and sufferings. (I:614)

Certain rewards can only be enjoyed after certain tests. Sometimes the only thing that will enable you to pass the test is
letting go the desire for the reward.
Resist the temptation, recognize it as the enemy it is, and fight this foe! (II:4)

Anyone can believe as long as things are going fine. Remember Job! The one responsible for his sufferings was the
enemy.
He's the great tester and tempter to see and find out who of My followers and brides really mean business, and who could
be easily dissuaded to flunk out and serve him instead... (II:24)

Faith is a tricky thing that only shows its true value in the thick of the testing. (II:26)

You must view the difficult times in your life differently, not as something bad or dreadful, as a sign that I've abandoned
you, but as a token of My extra special care for you. (II:45)

Don't keep your eyes on the "impossibilities" of your circumstances, but on Me and the fact that they each come from My
hand, only to draw you closer to Me and as a test to see whether you're going to fall for the lie that indeed there is such a
thing as "impossible" or whether you're going to accept My challenge and turn the "impossible" situation over to Me to
deal with and prove to you again that there is no such thing. (II:54)

Trust Me that even a dark chapter in your life will work together for good, and that My hand is upon you for good and not
evil! (II:60)

You must trust Me that while things are tough for you, they are the best for you, much better than if I would spoil you with
an easy life! (II:62)

Unfortunately, you're only free enough from the distractions of the flesh and this world to even be interested enough in the
Spirit to really delve in when you are going through trials and tribulations.
Thus, I simply have to send you lots of trials in order to keep you desperate and as close to Me as I wish you to be. (II:68)

Sometimes I test you to see how badly you really want My truth and My revelations, or how quickly you would settle for
some kind of compromise and in-between thing. (II:85)

The hardships you've been experiencing, the heat I've been putting on, are causing the hard shell to soften and crack
open. (II:94)

Even if trials and battles don't seem to be good for you, they actually are good for you, because they strengthen you. (II:110)

"Battles never cease." Not in this life, and not before I come. So, just take them, face them, with your chin held high. (II:111)

Rejoice, all the intense battles are good for you, and you're growing stronger by the day, by the hour and by the minute!
It may seem as if they turn things upside down a bit, but consider it a plowing of the field which is necessary before any
seeds can be sown, and fruit can be borne. (II:113)
724
Blessed are those who are holding on, who are not giving up, no matter how much temptation makes them waver or may
be tempting them to quit. (II:119)

It's not how much something will sparkle or shine or how glorious it may appear, that defines its worth, but how much it
will endure the tests of time. Only real gold will last.
Truth in the inward parts - applied to purge and make clean, that is what will bring about the true gold that can stand the
tests of time! (II:120)

Everything that's worth something costs something, and if you want a valuable lesson that's going to last, you're going to
have to be willing to pay something for it... a bit of pain, a bit of agony, and some desperation. But it will have been worth
it. (II:129)

It's natural to want life to be as comfortable, easy and sweet as possible, but it's not really good for you, since that's
weakening you. That's why there are more battles and less luxury, less ease, less comfort! (II:133)

Whenever there is something going wrong in your life, or not the way things are supposed to be, you can be sure that
there's a cause for it, and a very good reason. (II:137)

Not forgetting, but remembering My relevant counsel during moments when you're being attacked, and your faith is being
tested, is pretty much what it's all about... when I'm testing you to see whether you really learned the lesson I've been
trying to teach you through My Word or whether it just went in one ear and out the other.
In a situation where someone's being attacked, remember Me and the fact that I'm involved, I'm in control, and I might even
be allowing this to happen just in order to test you! I'm allowing that demon to attack you to show whether you learned to
apply that weapon I've been trying to teach you to use! (II:147)

If you're prepared for a crisis, such as periodically occurring emotional lows, then the disappointment won't be so big.
You'll be expecting them as something natural, as night following day or winter following autumn, and you won't freak out,
wondering, "What's it now?" You'll know, "Oh, it's just an emotional ebb." It will be a lot easier to deal with it. (II:156)

You're coming closer to Me all the time, with every moment, every trial and battle that passes. (II:163)

Your besetting sins won't be gone completely until you're out of the flesh. They won't have any more power over your
saved spirit! Isn't that something to look forward to?
To focus on that goal will help you to realize how temporal it all is, the trials and battles you're going through... (II:178)

To you, the easy, comfortable and smooth way, the path of the least resistance and friction may seem the most desirable,
but I say, "Not so."
That's why I'm trying to get you to enjoy and relish the battles and hardships, to rejoice in them and to praise Me for them,
because, contrary to your own natural inclinations, they're the best things that can happen to you!
Your troubles and trials make you what you're supposed to be! They change you from something I can't use into useful
tools and instruments in My service. They may be the things you least want nor appreciate in your life, but I say, appreciate
them, because you need them!
Those troubles, trials, afflictions, problems and battles... all those things you'd preferably do without, are the very things
that are going to accomplish and bring about the changes you need!
And that means, the harder they are, the better and more effective they're going to be.
Rejoice and praise Me every day for your troubles, for every moment and situation when things are not "the way they're
supposed to be." Thank Me for your challenges. Therein lies the secret of success and progress! (II:199)

The type of carnal reasoning that doesn't see the good in the challenge I bring about, only the hardship in the lesson,
always equals hardship with "undesirable." But those hardships, challenges and battles are the best things that can
happen to you! They keep you alive and growing. (II:208)

If you learn to see things My way, you'll learn to view the hardest parts in life not as the worst, but as the best. You used to
see My crucifixion as something dreadful, something that people wonder why it had to happen, until you realized that this
was actually the main purpose for which I came, My greatest task and most important "job," My destiny.
Even so it is with your crosses. You may dread them and you may rather have those cups pass from you, like I wished, but
afterwards you'll see that they were actually the most valuable and most important parts of life, without which things would
never have been the same... no victories won over the enemy, no precious lessons learnt... No victory without a battle, no
crown without a cross, no rose without a thorn... no beauty for ashes... (II:214)

Even after the darkest and longest stretch of agony, there's light again at the other end of the tunnel. (II:224)

When you're battling and struggling, in many ways you're even more beautiful to Me. I feel for you, I feel with you, and
you're never alone in whatever you go through in life. (II:226)

Will you bear this cross for Me?

725
The hurting, the pain, the sacrifice and the humbling, as opposed to the way of self, the selfish way, the easy, comfortable
way? (II:266)

Everybody needs to experience some pain in life, and it is the pain, not the easy times, that makes you grow and brings
you closer to Me.
Which other way do you acquire wisdom but by pain and suffering and going through fiery trials and tests of faith? (II:290)

Is it My will for you to make it easier on yourself? It is the hard way that makes you stronger.
Which is the better preparation for what's to come? Acquiring a carpet that will be jerked out from under your feet
eventually, or learning to stand on the rock which will lift you unfailingly above any obstacle, that you might have to face in
the future? The easier way is often a cop-out, and by thinking you're gaining something, you're only cheating yourself out
of a greater blessing. (II:291)

Often My great testings are crossroads in destiny that look very mundane, ordinary, and they're camouflaged as such,
since otherwise, you'd obviously shape up, pull yourselves together and put on your best behavior. I like to test folks in
the little things: how do they handle a flat tire, the dishes, a dirty diaper, or visitors that may well be on a different
wavelength than your own in many aspects? (II:295)

The tough times are what it's all about! It's not the easy and smooth times that make you stronger! (II:298)

The enemy will test you as he tested Job, to see just how far you'll walk with Me, how far you'll still trust Me, even when it
seems like everything goes wrong. (II:307)

Life can't only be pleasure all the time. That couldn't be its purpose. The motto for life on Earth is: get a taste of the
suffering! Get a taste of what I went through for you! (II:310)

It's exciting, when you're aware of those trials and tests just serving to bring you yet another step closer to Me. (II:320)

Keep believing when you go through a trial, a hard time or a test, that it will serve to bring you closer to Me, that you'll fly
higher than before, after every test! (II:321)

If Pharaoh in Egypt wouldn't have made things so tough for the Israelites, they probably never would have wanted to leave! Some
even complained and wished they had stayed.
It's hard to see Me in hardships, in difficulties, in battles and trials, but I am there! (II:332)

The greater the problem, the greater the victory, and the more it's going to strengthen your faith in the end. You need those
greater problems, in order to give you greater faith, in order to tackle even greater problems, greater obstacles and
seeming impossibilities in the future. (II:341)

You will see in the end, there was really nothing to worry about at all. I'm in full control, although I may temporarily not let it
appear that way, to test you, whether you're still going to trust and believe. (II:383)

If you can learn to be thankful for both, the good and the bad times, then you will indeed be a man of faith. (II:393)

Trials and battles with the System are to set you apart from them, to draw you out from among them, to make you separate,
for I have chosen you out of the world. (II:442)

The purpose in life is not to see how easy you can possibly make it on yourself, but it's the tough times, the battles, the
efforts you need to make, which all work to make you stronger and earn you the "badges" in life that are really worth
collecting.
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; simply put, to be giving and helping. (II:497)

Consider the trials that come along with opportunities the price you have to pay for them! (II:545)

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.
Trust and see what I am going to bring about through the momentary suffering!
Trust that I will bring forth beauty from ashes, life from death, joy from suffering. (II:548)

You've got to embrace the hard times and fully taste them and experience them, so that you can really carry away from
them all that I want you to. In many aspects they're more valuable than the pleasant times. (II:572)

Every time you manage to get over another hurdle, another obstacle and challenge in life, it will strengthen your faith to
make it over the next one.
You'll be able to say with your whole heart, "I know He won't let me down, because He has never let me down. He has
helped me through this trouble and that trouble, and I know He will see me through the next one as well."
726
Emergencies and crises bring out the best in you, purify your faith and trust in Me.
The testimony of the way My saints trust Me in their sufferings and in the hours of their temptation is one of the greatest
witnesses and testimonies they can give.
Are you willing to suffer for others, as I was?

By talking about your battles, trials and temptations, you are on your best way to overcoming them. You're having the
Enemy exposed that way. Bring it all out into the open and he won't have a chance to do his dirty business in the dark and
in secret anymore, which takes the power from him.
You're able to call a spade a spade, a bluff a bluff, a temptation merely what it is, namely a temptation, but not necessarily
a major crisis, since you're not about to give in to it.

When there are battles and quarrels, just praise Me for them. This is a real legit way of overcoming. Just praise Me for
another challenge and trial in life!
What's your attitude: gratitude or resentment? That's what it all boils down to, your constant choice. Will you resent the
trial, the empty half of your cup, or show gratitude for the full half?
Remember that you're a live one. It's you that the 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.

When a situation seems bad, I want you to see My love in it, and to remember that this is also happening for some good
purpose.

The true art of loving is to love in spite of the pain. It's learning to forgive constantly and not to harden your heart, but to
embrace the pain and accept it willingly.

Just like I didn't take the sponge soaked in vinegar and gall to ease My pain on the cross, you should follow My sample
and not seek easy relief or a way out of the suffering, the hardship. You've got to go through the pain and embrace the full
taste of it in order for it to fulfill its ultimate purpose. There's no shortcut to glory.

Obstacles are part of your training, to sharpen your focus on Me, to increase your desire for Me.

Lessons come from battles, from confrontations, from sufferings and trials, often brought about by your own human
weaknesses and frailties, the very things you often try so hard to avoid. That which you think is going to be to your
disadvantage, that which you would call a demerit or a minus point, those are actually often the plus points for Me. Its a
lot like the different views of My crucifixion: the world views it as a loss, but Here We know it was the total Victory.
The ultimate Victory over the greatest Enemy ever fought, was brought about by a seeming defeat. Never forget that, when
you go down an unpleasant road, which may seem like a defeat to you. Those seeming defeats make you dig down deep in
the dirt, like a man digging a well, and they prime the pump that makes the heavenly water flow. - Heavenly water to refresh
generations to come.

Youre longing for comfort and relief, but what you really need is strength and perseverance, and these are not as easily
obtained, but come through tests of endurance.

You're going to have to learn to put up with things going wrong sometimes... It all depends so much on how you take it.
(III:22)

When a human is born, he is like the raw vessel of clay. Only the fiery trials of life will make a useful vessel out of you.
(III:36)

You're not the only one who realizes that something is wrong, and things are being done about it. In the meantime,
consider it another test whether you're going to stick, or allow this to become your excuse to quit. (III:47)

The human spirit is like a wild horse that needs to be tamed through the experiences it suffers. (III:68)

As soon as you're having a problem you've got something to seek and ask Me about, you're hungry and desperate for a
solution, you need Me. (III:73)

Life has its ups and downs, and I purposely allow a whole lotta shakin' going on in order to test you. The ultimate clinch
being, will you trust Me anyway, or at some point allow yourself to believe that you know better than Me?
How can you grow beyond your limits unless you've been driven to your limits to find out what they are and where they
are? There will always be new limits to discover and explore, you will reach points you have never known before. But
instead of freaking out about it, you can rest assured that if I have trusted you with the former one, that you were going to
be able to handle it and make it through that one, I'm also allowing you to handle because I know you can.
Maybe I will allow the Enemy to drive you just a little bit beyond your limit. But next time, you'll be able to handle more.
And it's necessary, because things are going to get worse, and you need to get to know your limits, your weak points, and
you need to be aware of them, able to recognize them and be cautious of them. But you cannot use them as an excuse to
quit and give up. If you hand it back over to Me at that point where you can't handle it anymore, it'll all work out alright, just
as it always has. (III:74)
727
Every trial has an end. It will never go on forever. (III:109)

There may be moments when you're tempted to pray, "Father, take this cup from me," but if in the end you're willing to say,
like I did, "nevertheless, not my will, but Thy will be done," I promise you won't regret it, you won't regret having trusted
Me fully; it will all be worth it in the end, and you'll see, there could have been no better result possible than what I am
going to bring about through all this.
You may have preferred a "shortcut to happiness," enjoying your rewards a lot sooner, having your cake and eating it, so
to speak, heaven now and hereafter, but that's not always how it works. Sometimes you have to wait a little for the main
rewards yet to come...
"It's human nature to want the best of both worlds," but the suffering is nonetheless inevitable. (III:120)

As long as everything's going alright, people just don't pay enough attention. When things start going wrong, that's the
point where they'll start to listen up. "God, what am I doing wrong?"
Usually those crises, when you realize your life is heading downhill for disaster, are precisely what help you to prevent it
from really becoming one.
Those times also make you more likable. All of a sudden you're back down to the rock bottom of the fact that you're not
better than anyone else, even though you could have sworn you were, at the rate things were going.
But alas, the curtain has fallen, and revealed that your life is a mess, just like everybody else's, and you have flaws a-
plenty, just like everybody else. (III:126)

You can't be winning souls and bearing fruit without any testings. The Enemy will always try to discourage, hinder or slow
you down, if he can't stop you altogether. (III:133)

You must take both, the enjoyment I give you, as well as the suffering that comes along with it. If it were just one-sided,
and you'd only have the fun part of life, you'd soon become spoiled.
There has got to be some pain and suffering, and often the most effective sort of pain is that which is being evoked on you
by your own children.
Let it count toward your being a partaker of My sufferings. See yourself as one of those on the altar, one of the lambs and
rams of sacrifice, the partakers of My sufferings. Remember that you're in good company among many other fellow-
sufferers, and resist it not.
Be honored that I have counted you worthy and strong enough to bear these sufferings. Remember My apostles who
"rejoiced that they had been counted worthy to suffer" for Me. It's part of your "job" to "endure hardness" as a good
soldier of Mine (2Tim.2:3). (III:140)

I have to allow your love to undergo tests to prove how real it is, just as I test your faith. I'm trying to find out, how real is
your love? (III:152)

Your suffering is never in vain. It always has a purpose, it's always happening for a reason, and a good one, so bear it with
dignity or at least the trust and confidence that I know what you can handle and what I'm allowing, okay?
"When He hath tried me I shall come forth as gold" (Job 23:10). (III:158)

Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing had befallen you, but
rejoice, inasmuch as ye are being made partakers of My sufferings through these things.
I use adversities in your life just as I use them in the lives of all My children: to break them (for "God only uses broken men
and women - no others will do,") to draw them closer to Me, to test their faith and make them realize that My Word is true
and reliable, and have them depend on Me, instead of their own arm of the flesh.
Some day you're going to look back at the tough times in your life and realize that they were the best thing that ever
happened to you. Right now you may feel tempted to think that they're the worst that ever happened to you, but then you
will realize just how efficient they were in making of you that which you were meant to become, and how truly My Promise
will have been fulfilled in you that "all things work together for good" to them that love Me (Rom.8:28). (III:179)

It's not the things that give you your true value. It's how you handle their loss, the experiences and the wisdom you gain by
going through those ups and downs of have and have not, of win and lose, of gain and lose again, and by the way you
handle those losses, prove that you are winning and gaining again, even if it may "only" be the experience and confidence
that the only thing you can really rely on, really trust in and the only One you really need, after all, is Me.
Loss is gain if you look at it trough My eyes: it will be the gain of new opportunities, greater trust and confidence in Me, the
lasting Factor in your life; greater dependence on Me, greater wisdom, greater treasures of experiences and lessons
learned; the true values of life. (III:196)

You must be tested and tried, there is no way around it. You've got to go through times of purging; I can't make you what
you ought to be without it! (III:201)

The flaws, mistakes and imperfections in your co-fighters have been little more than a big test of your faith, to see whether
you would still keep going for Me, still keep holding on faithfully, in spite of them. (III:205)

Your trials, hardships and difficulties, your tight passages, are the things that are going to make you fly in the end...
728
It's the hard times that enable you to finally spread your wings. (III:209)

Taking up your cross is a hardcore reality that you've got to accept in the matrix of your understanding, your concept and
perception of what's to be expected out of this life. Your cross is your destiny.
And just like with Me, and every other true follower of Mine throughout history, your cross will always be provided for you
by people.
If you keep in mind that that is your destiny, just as it was Mine, you won't be disillusioned, you'll know what to expect.
Your job, which is seeking first the Kingdom of God, which again consists of people, is your cross. Those people who
constitute your job for Me, and that you're supposed to lay down your life for, also become your cross.
As My follower and as a partaker of My sufferings, that is what you've got to expect.
That cross is real. It's a reality. And you've got to bear it willingly.
You've got to stop trying to avoid the hurt and the pain, but realize that it's essential it belongs.
You've got to allow them to "crucify" you and cause you that pain. You cannot run from it or try to resist it... It's your
destiny not to fight back. Learn from Me how to take that suffering and hurt from people without resisting it, without any
attempts of defending yourself; you've just got to let it be.
You can find real joy if you willingly choose the path of suffering I have laid out for you.
Once you've accepted your path and you realize that the suffering is nothing strange about it, but that it belongs, and that
it just serves to eradicate the impurities, you'll also find yourself of greater service to My people, and find that there will be
those who'll receive your healing, your message, your sacrifice... just as there were those who did receive Me; those who
make it worth it all. (III:247)

I want you to equip those who cross your path with the means and weapons to fight life's battles more effectively. I want
you to help equip them with My gifts, with My Power, My Light to guide them through life's trials and battles successfully.
(III:250)

Sometimes I have to allow times of testing and trial, of temptation in the wilderness, and Gethsemane... - Times when folks
feel like "Why hast Thou forsaken me?"
Sometimes that leanness, emptiness and darkness is precisely what was necessary for the making of a man, the making of
a warrior, or the making of a champion... (III:274)

The hard times that cause you to be more desperate, more dependent on Me, they do for Me the real work, which brings on
My power on your behalf in your lives. They create the vacuum that draws down My power, that yearning for Me which
causes Me to rush in an fill the need.
Be thankful for these lean times, and times of crisis, when there is only a void for Me to fill, and a desperate need for Me to
come in and change things and mend them again.
The dark and lean times draw you back to the reality that you need Me, that without Me you cannot make it. (III:284)

If you take heed that you build on lasting values and that the ingredients and building material, the mortar and bricks you
use are quality material, taken from My heavenly mines and resources, then you can be sure that some lasting fruit is
going to come out of it, and that whatever you build will stand the testings and fires of time, even death. (III:285)

The path of the perfect will of God isn't always an immediate, glorious success-story. It's a story of crosses, crucifixions,
humiliations, beatings and hardships, which often can make you wonder, "Lord, are You sure that this is the right path?
Everyone else says it couldn't be. (III:323)

During the rosy times its easy to assume that I'm around. The "evidence" seems to be all over: "The sun is shining, the
birds are chirping, the flowers blooming, and all the bills are paid. Yeah, certainly God loves me." But I need you to know
with that same assurance that I love you when the sun is not shining, there are no birds and flowers, and you don't know
yet how you're going to pay those bills! (III:324)

Youve got to discern between "good dirt" and "bad dirt." Not all dirt is the same.
The good dirt is what I allow in your life. Call it sin, weakness, temptation, trial or testing, sickness, whatever. The bad dirt
is what the devil will try to make out of it, if you discard My good dirt prematurely! (III:343)

The wise have been made white in the purifying fires of My chastisement (Dan.12:10), those that are wise and shall shine like
the stars (v.3), and they shall be made white during their trials.
John saw them in his visions in Revelation, those who were dressed in white, because they had come trough great
tribulation (Rev.7:9,14). (III:347)

Your present trial is My way of keeping you on your toes, alert, not feeling too much at home and at ease in this world. It's
My way of reminding you that as much as you'd like to have peace, there is a war going on.
It's not that I want to tease you or make your life miserable, but you just need to trust that even this trial is what in My love
I know is the best for you, and what will make you strongest. (III:366)

Those times when youre really broken and good for nothing are often the times Im using you the most.
That ought to teach you not to resist and fight against those times of brokenness, but rather to embrace and welcome
them. Its another aspect and facet of seeing things My way, instead of the carnal way.
729
Your natural man resists the down times, and tries to pull himself up and make you feel better again, pep you up again, and
restore the champion in the old man and the arm of the flesh and restore their former glory. But the true art is to stay
down there and let it be and just be content anyway, in spite of not being on top of things.
Take it by faith that those hard times are just as much part of My plan, and thus just as much reason to rejoice as the
good times!
And maybe retrospectively, some day you might see that those hard times really werent bad times at all, but that they in
fact were the good times during which I was able to use you the most. (III:401)

The enemy sics his dogs on the carriers of My true anointing wherever he finds them and can stir them up, like a hornets
nest, or like dogs barking and nipping at your heels. But they can never really do you any real harm. Primarily, they are just
there to test and strengthen your faith and resolve. These are precisely the factors that make you strong. Just another
example of the devil actually working for Me, whether he wants to or not. (III:412)

Maybe if everything would be the way you like it and expected it to be, you would become spoiled by life, instead of
learning the lessons that come along with hardships and adversities (III:436)

Every relationship has its trials, the big question is, how do you handle them? (III:440)

The trials and things youre having to go through are all there for the purpose of avoiding another Fall of mankind, by
making sure youll learn the difference between that hard and painful way of the flesh, and the way things are going to be
again when all things will have been restored to their former beauty and glory. And enduring hardness is just a part of it. It
belongs there. (III:543)

The only way out is the way through it! (III:557)

My Road is a tough one, full of trials, and it may well be the toughest road for anyone to choose who wants to serve Me to
the fullest in this day and age.
The enemy has full permission to test anyone even contemplating becoming a part of it, because of the value of the
privilege that it is. (III:561)

Youll get through the trials in life a lot less painfully if you realize whos on your side, and if you start seeing Me as your
Friend and Savior Whos going to come and pull you out of this. (III:567)

Even though the trials, tribulations and castigations may be cause for present sadness, remember the reward, the ability to
comfort others with the comfort wherewith you have been comforted by Me afterwards, and trust Me, that contrary to what
it may seem to you at the moment, those tough experiences are infinitely more valuable than your happy and easy times.
(III:589)

Some things are giving you trials. But let the trials do their work on you: Let them cause you to pray, let them mold your
heart and make you desperate! (IV:23)

If somethings giving you trials and a hard time, something to give you a reason to pray about and hear from Me about,
rejoice: it means theres something for you to learn and something to grow by, something to help you love better and
become a better and truer follower of Mine. (IV:26)

As long as things arent flowing too smoothly and you cant just float along complacently, you know that you must be having
some effect that causes the enemy to go on the counter-attack. So, as long as there are battles, trials and troubles, you can
assume that everythings alright. (IV:31)

Some tests serve multiple purposes.

You dont always pass the tests with flying colors, especially not during their beginning periods, when you dont really see
any of the meaning and purpose in them yet. Only when youve come some of the way through them, and have fallen into
some of the traps along the way, can you see their purpose more clearly. (IV:43)

Learn to live with the reality of where most people are really at, and develop a strength of character that will help you to
stand when you will have to face lifes darkest trials on your own (IV:57)

Trouble is good for people, and the smartest move the devil could come up with was to postpone the trouble and prolong
this current era of affluence and general contentment for as long as possible, in order to corrupt peoples hearts and
minds thoroughly.
Theres nothing like trouble to awaken peoples interest in the truth.
The trouble with the truth is that theres nothing like trouble that makes people want any of it (IV:171)

The tests reveal your true strengths and compare them to the picture and estimate that you had in your own mind; and
usually, reality shows it to be less than what you had imagined. (IV:182)

You may prefer the good times. But could it be that I know better, and that the hard times are actually better for you? (IV:187)
730
There will be more severe tests awaiting you in the future, and I want to make you strong enough to face them and to be
able to pass them and not dismay or faint then, because thats when the world will need you and what you have to give
more desperately than at any other time. (IV:196)

Trust that whatever trial and test I bring along is something which, according to My judgment, you will be able to benefit
from! (IV:199)

Its during those times of testing, when the pressure is on, that your character and strength are being put to the test and
must prove their worth. (IV:205)

The fires of lifes trials will reveal which are the values that endure and last. (IV:209)

Bleak circumstances make it appear as though I or the Father had forsaken you. But thats just where your faith is being
tested, whether you will cling to that Promise of I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, and whether youre actually
going to believe it, or fall for the doubt trap of the enemy. (IV:211)

I sometimes test your faith, whether youre going to keep on believing even if it seems as if I had forsaken you.
I didnt, and I never will, but are you going to keep believing it, even if I dont seem to be around momentarily?
In order for your faith to endure any storm (and lo, the storm is coming), I allow you to be tested and to pass through
experiences that will assure you over and over again of the reasons that lead you to conclude that you can trust Me, even
if temporarily it may not seem to be the case at times. (IV:212)

You may have to go through trials and battles that most people wont have to go through. Does that mean that you are
forsaken by Me and I have ceased to bless you? No. To the contrary: If I am correcting you and allowing you to pass
through times of Gethsemane and purging, it means Im working intensively on and in your life. Somethings happening
there. Im doing something. And youre just going to have to trust Me for it, that its going to be good! (IV:232)

If youre seeking something more, a greater and more lasting, eternal reward in the There and Then, then it behooves you
to also put up with some adversities, some trials and struggles in this life, in order to learn and grow and progress and
mature from them, because progress, growth and maturation are only achieved by means of the efforts you make in your
struggle against adversities and difficulties.
If you want to stay fit and clean and strong spiritually, then youre going to have to do something for it, put up with some
trials and tests and submit to this School of Life, which, granted, is going to be a little rougher than just doing nothing and
hanging out and wasting life away. (IV:256)

If there are any two words I couldnt emphasize enough during the times of trial, testing and charting unknown territory, its
Trust Me! Youre going to make it alright to the other side, and safely to your destination, just trust Me! (IV:347)

I do test those who claim to trust Me, just to find out how deep their trust really goes, and as you know, sometimes people
tend to slightly overestimate their own abilities and qualities. (IV:354)

I must keep testing you, especially with tests of patience and faith, to see whether you're going to keep Me first and keep
forsaking your Isaacs to Me on a daily basis, but as you can tell, when you do, I always give them back to you to enjoy.
(IV:375)

Hard times really teach you something.

The good and fun times, well, theyre just that: good and fun times.
But when the heat is on and youre going through trials and troubles and tribulations in life, thats when you really learn
something. (IV:379)

When things go wrong your faith gets tested and you find out how strong (or weak) it really is, and how much more you
should have and acquire, accordingly. (IV:418)

The tests get you thinking about what might be the reason for them, what I might be telling you through them, and in which
direction I might be guiding
It all gets you thinking seriously and to assess what might be My higher will for you, where you might be most needed, etc.
You have to consider that its no coincidence when Im making things tough for you in one place. How much good are you
effectively going to do Me there?
When things get hard and tedious on one field, and they seem to be a lot easier in some ways on another, you should
seriously consider whether its possible that Im beckoning you to more fruitful fields
Sometimes when things become hard to bear in one place, its an indication what it would probably be preferable for you
to move to another, since you have not only that option, but the commission, as one of My disciples (IV:442)

I may at times test your faith to see and find out whether its real and lasting and enduring, but as long as you refuse to
doubt and quit and let go of Me; as long as you do what you can to hold on to Me, I will always hold on to you and never let
you go. (IV:456)
731
There may be challenges and trials, and even some major tests of faith and turbulences, but the end result is going to be
good, you can trust Me for that. (IV:497)

The tests of faith are to show and prove how much all that I have told you has really meant to you, made any difference at
all in your life, and to what extent it has been the basis of your faith that you have built your life on. (IV:505)

732
 What Jesus Had to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about

Witnessing

Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15)

If you would save their souls, you must ignore their opinions. Realize that they are the ones in want, in need, in danger,
yea, in the valley of the shadow of death, and you are the one with the answer, their Salvation.
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 and everlasting.
When I return, will you cry, If I only had given up this thing and that or the other for the Lord, how many more I could have
saved!? (I:16)

You cant witness in the flesh if you want to win souls. (I:23)

Youre a salesman of My message. But if people dont see youre happy with what youve got, they wont feel like youve
got a lot to offer them. (I:39)

Im able to use best those who gladly share My love in a smile with anyone they pass by. They dont care if anyone thinks
theyre nuts. They know the principle of happiness. They just go out there and shine and shine and give and give, and their
radiance grows, as they grow closer to Me, until, as My Word says, they shall shine as the stars and the brightness of the
firmament forever. Those are the real stars.
The cheerful givers, the little saints, the diamonds of dust, without whom My light would be invisible, and without which
this World would be in total, absolute darkness. (I:45)

Be one of My seekers - not for answers or fulfillments, for you have found the answers - a seeker for My lost sheep to give
My answers to, and in this highest of all callings, find the greatest fulfillment of all.
Would you lay down your life for Me and for the sheep? (I:78)

Look for somebody to love! If you look for someone to love, youll always find something wonderful to do! If you can live
according to this task and convey it to others, so much good could be done. Go out unto the highways and hedges and
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 and look for someone to love! Look for someone to help, to cheer up, to encourage, to pray for, to
witness to. (I:86)

Dare to be different! Dare to be unconventional! Dare to challenge the established rules of etiquette. No, you shouldnt talk
to that girl, because her boyfriend might get upset! Yes, you should talk to that girl, no matter what anyone thinks or says,
because you might be her one and only chance in a lifetime to find Me!
Overcome your fears! Dont let them stifle your inspiration, choke and reduce your usefulness to Me to a trickle compared
to the raging river it could be. Let the torrents and cloudbursts of My Word convert your trickle in the wilderness into a
mighty, raging river, whereby many shall find life, strength and hope.
Break forth! Break the dams and confines that bind you, that would have you trapped and would stop you from where I
want you to gush forth and bring life!
Gush forth and flood them! Stop trickling about hesitantly and gush forth! (I:87)

Be no longer stopped by their outward shows of reluctance. Its much like a womans outwardly cold pretense of not being
interested in a man, while inwardly craving his every bit of attention. (I:101)

Only one thing is more blessed than to receive these Words, and that is to give them.
The secret lies in letting Me fill you to overflowing. When your cup runneth over onto others, you can be sure that
goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. Giving that which you receive fills you even more than the
actual receiving. (I:114)

There are many who have been broken, but they dont know yet about the Potter Who has everything in His hand. How
many throw their lives away because they see no hope at all. There are many who would yearn for the comfort you know.
But they dont see any hope.
Thats why Im letting you experience the feeling of abandonment, of feeling completely lonely and forsaken, at times. May
these experiences break your hearts for those in the world who have no notion of Me. You carry My torch, children, so,
hold it high, for all to see. (I:132)

In your winning people to Me, it can never be early enough to point people toward Me, lest they become so focused on you
that they cant let you go, and you will be standing between Me and them. (I:133)

Sow the seeds of eternal life. Save their spirits from starvation. Go where My Spirit leads you, to the lowly in heart.
733
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they have a vacuum, theyre not self-satisfied or pretend to know and have it all. Go
where the humble spirits call and beckon you to come. There you will find fertile ground and fulfillment. (I:134)

The large majority of people have always ignored the warnings of My prophets and were caught by surprise when the
troubles came, and it wont be any different next time.
You owe it to them to warn them anyway! Remind people that there is a God who is just, Who will not allow these injustices
to carry on unpunished forever. What goes up must come down, and the bigger they come, the harder they fall. Its like the
law of gravity. And the graver the atrocities, the stronger the effects of that law.
Continue to teach them, continue to share My Words, old and new... Imagine how loudly your words of warning will ring in
their ears once they see it all happening.
Be My voice, My messengers, My heralds, My proclaimers, My witnesses, servants, and I will be your strength and all you
ever needed.
My message is the magic that will change lives and bring life to others who were as good as dead. You can give a meaning
to their lives. Of course, to be willing to accept and receive the truth is the primary requirement. Those who lie to
themselves and prefer to live in the lie will always oppose you. All youve got to offer is the truth. Live it! Share it, speak it,
give it, sing it and I will be with you and your mouth and everywhere you go, in all you do and every word you shall speak.
(I:146)

Lift Me up, so that I can draw them unto Me through you. Be My magnet!
Showing Me to people means to show love to the people.
Shine with My light and let them see, hear and feel Me in you! (I:151)

'Get out of yourself and get into others!' Witnessing is what it's all about, and there are enough lost sheep out there to
keep you distracted from your own problems and feelings of self-pity for the rest of your lives.
After all, that IS life! You have never lived as intensely and as thoroughly and as fully as when you've been out there on the
battle field, fighting for the souls of man, beckoning them to enter My Kingdom and shooting My bullets of light and life
into the Devil's territory and land of the dead.
There are many who feel deep down inside that they're not of this world, and if I could motivate you to get concerned about
My lost sheep out there to step out and search for them, and call them into My house, how much more blessed would your
own lives be! You would feel so much more joy and excitement instead of all this introspection and analyzing, wondering
and worrying.
I was a missionary, and if you want to be a true follower of Me, then that's what you, too, will be.
You've got the choice: whether you boldly stand up for Me and proclaim, announce and testify Me before men, or prefer
not to rock the boat, to just hide your light and pull it out occasionally. Are you a do-or-die revolutionary for Me, a shiner,
or a light-hider? Don't hide your light, let it shine. Follow and obey that heavenly commission with heavenly rewards of
greater joy and fulfillment than anything you've ever known, and an eternal crown to shine like the stars.
Make Me happy by trying to make others happy, telling them about Me! See how much more happiness will fill your walls!
Each tract you leave in somebody's hand will be a strike at the Devil's heart. Demons can't stand the sight of a victor, the
shine of a Lord-sharer, the conviction of a cross-bearer, the umph of an overcomer, the mercy of a missionary, nor to get
into the way of a warrior for Me! (Dan.12:3)
You wanna shine like the stars forever? Be wise and share My light with them that sit in darkness, and turn as many to
righteousness as will receive Me, and you will! You will already shine in this life and people will see it, not to mention the
way in which you will shine when you come to My kingdom! Let it shine! (I:158)

Your personal problems are tiny, unimportant and insignificant in comparison to the monumental task of flooding the
Devils territory of darkness in My light!
You have the power to bring life wherever you go. Your sharing the Word with people wherever you go makes all the
difference there is between life and death! Without you and your pouring out the Word, there is only barren soil
everywhere, being scorched by the heat. There may be fertile ground here and there, but well never know until you give it
a chance by sowing the seeds of My Word on them and watering them! Let it rain! Let My love pour forth and rain down on
you and them!
Well never know the difference unless you do. The difference between what is and could be or could have been... You
have the power to change destiny. You can help Me change destiny. You can save a lot of people!
So many people that may have been destined to die could be saved. And yet so many you could have saved might die
because you didnt do anything...
You could save someone from being completely lost in this cold and lonely world, just like I saved you out of it. Didnt it
make all the difference in the world to you that someone reached out to you and shared My light, My Word, My Salvation
with you? You can make that same difference in the lives of others. Someone might be waiting for you to reach out for
them and save them, just like I used someone else to find and save you! Can you do for others what I and others have
done for you?
Have compassion for My sheep out there, youre going to find them, if you seek!
Choose this day what difference you will make and what mark you will leave in the world, how many youre going to save,
and how youre going to change the course of history and destiny!
Can you receive their signal? S.O.S.! Save our souls! (I:167)

Your mouth is your most important instrument of conveying to others what you believe in, what you think and what you
are, by your words you will be justified or condemned, and whosoever controls your tongue, he is the one who is in charge
734
of the helm that steers your boat. Do from your belly flow rivers of living water (Jn.7:38)? Is it not you that speak, but the
Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you (Mt.10:20)?
You can choose whether you walk a high or a low road. One that believes quietly a defensive warfare, barely managing to
keep the Devil off your back, or an offensive, where you take the Kingdom, and every place upon which the soles of your
feet tread is yours, with an attitude that loudly proclaims that you are My children and servants of the Most High, who are
not ashamed of their calling. According to the intensity with which you confess Me before men I will be able to bless you.
There is no other way to please the Father but to confess Me before men. That is a faithful and just servant in His eyes: one
who will not deny Me before men, but who will boldly confess Me and not make a secret out of their belief in Me.
Discipleship is more than just making a living for yourselves! It is living for others and bringing Me to them, salvation and
all that youve found in Me. (I:187)

He that gathereth not with Me, scattereth abroad (Mt.12:30). Are you gathering with Me or scattering abroad? Gathering with
Me means to go out there with Me, without the camp, bearing My reproach (Heb.13:13), into the fields and gathering lost
souls, and by passively doing nothing, youre scattering abroad, instead.
One of the primary reasons for the success of evil in the world is that good men are doing nothing. So, fight against those
demons that are trying to stop your mouths and destroy your witness and testimony. Its a battle, yes. Its a war. Its tough.
And you havent even yet begun to fight. The fighting is happening out there. And only by obeying Me and launching out
into the deep will you find My complete blessing. Overcome, even as I have overcome.
Im telling you where the greatest blessings lie. Theyre sometimes hidden under a cold layer of snow or ice, the facades
that some of those lost sheep are taking on to hide their true selves.
Nothing will ever last; only the souls you win for Me. (I:198)

Are you just carelessly going to continue enjoying what youve got or are you going to get concerned about those who
havent got? (I:199)

Its a matter of life and death. Many lives and many deaths. You could be a bringer of life and saving them from death. (I:201)

My flocks, scattered throughout all the Earth, on the highways and byways, and wherever you may find them, are your goal
and destiny. Your highest goal for which you want to strive, you will find it not by trying to make a name for yourself or
leave your mark in history by some self-effort, but by sharing that which I lay on your heart with those whom I shall lead
across your paths.
There are countless sheep who are hungry, even starving for My love and truth. Im going to open up your eyes and will
enable you to see that which lies underneath: the loneliness; the longing for assurance of a glimpse of that which you
have seen and felt and experienced; a ray or glimpse of hope. Youve got to be My transmitter of hope for them.
Tell them about My great mystery, why I suffered that cruel death, the key part of My mission, that I did it for them, and if
they can just believe and accept that, they wont have to worry anymore about what will come, about their mistakes, or
whether they will make all the right decisions or do all the right things in this life. Tell them of My unconditional love. (I:236)

Youve got what many are looking for. Youve got the key to the hearts of many who I have been preparing for this.
I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me. Will you just lift Me up and exalt Me? Put the emphasis on Me and My Word,
teaching them to establish their own personal connection with Me, and I will draw them unto Me! They will come! (I:251)

If you pour out your life to others, I will pour out My life to you! Take more time to minister to those I have brought across
your paths. Spend more time feeding them. Your needs will be taken care of.
Dont worry about the costs, I will more than repay whatever thou spendest. (I:252)

I dont want you to keep Me all for yourself. One of the greatest proofs of your love you can give Me is to share Me with
others. Not like the jealous, prudish, selfish and possessive church Christians who hardly ever mention Me, much less
share Me with anyone else.
So much depends on your willingness to share Me with others. Your happiness and fulfillment, not to mention the souls
saved and the happiness youd bring Me. (I:264)

I want you to share Me with the love-starved, hungry and searching out there.
Nothing else will satisfy Me more than your freely sharing Me with others and ever giving more of Me!
Ever giving more of Me to others is the secret to happiness and the meaning of life! Continue to give others ever more of
Me, and youll continue to be completely and totally satisfied. (I:265)

I have given you the power to do My work. Youve just got to use it. You activate it by using it, by going forth and getting
into that gear, engaging in that mode of witnessing, fulfilling your divine purpose and destiny.
Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men and I will give you such a catch that there will not be room enough to hold it.
Can you believe it? (I:270)

Get more heavenly minded by getting out there and winning souls. Thats the most inspiring thing you can do, and the best
preparation for Heaven, where youre going to meet all of those souls again and they will be your grateful friends,
companions and lovers, too... dont insist on having your heaven on Earth first, without bringing heaven to the lost. Thats
like chasing happiness when you ought to be giving it to others. Make others happy. (I:274)

735
Search and seek out My lost sheep, and you will find the fulfillment that you seek! (I:288)

I would like for you to give encouragement and show kindness to the little people I send across your path on a personal
level. Personal witnessing is so much more effective than mass witnessing. (I:298)

Give them what youve got to give and dont let fear of them rule you!
Leave an imprint on their hearts they cant help but remember! One that says, God was here!
Gently woo My sheep... cooing for them and showing them the way to Me, pointing at Me, the Grand Master Shepherd.
Give them My message. Look not at the waves or the wind of what could or might be their possible reactions or opinions!
I will reward you for being a faithful deliverer of My message! (I:342)

Your job is simply to present the message. They have to make the choice whether theyll receive it or not.
Just do your job, whether they receive it or not. Youre successfully fulfilling your job, whether they receive you or not, as
long as you stay faithful to the message. (I:343)

Say something when youve got something to say. And listen, when you dont! Too few people really know how to listen
anymore, so, why not be one of those, skilled in that rare art? And dont only listen to the words of their mouths, but try to
hear the unspoken words of their hearts! Learn the secret language of what they really mean to say. You can only learn this
with the help of My Spirit, and only if youre seriously interested, if you sincerely care and want to become a soul winner, if
you love them and would like to see them in Heaven!
You can pray that I give you the key to their heart and show you what it is that touches them and awakes them from their
spiritual slumber or gets them out of their hole. Many people only act in a superficial manner because they are afraid to
show their true, inner self. Listen harder. Look deep into their hearts, deeply into their eyes and let Me reveal to you their
thoughts, their desires, their fears, their dreams and heartaches. (I:367)

The true saints in your world are not those out to draw attention to themselves. Theyre too busy getting My job done of
witnessing to the lost.
Go out among the highways and hedges and charge them to come in, that My house may be full! Dont waste precious
time you could be spending witnessing and winning souls.
Find those who are hungering and thirsting for only a glimpse of what youve got! (I:387)

There are sheep out there right now who are starving for My love.
Will you be a winner, one of the few rare true conquerors who, by being willing to appear as the seeming losers, overcame
this World and will shine like the stars forever and ever? (I:391)

Seek ye first My Kingdom and the welfare of My sheep, seek My lost souls, and all these things will be added unto you.
Somebody will have to make a decision either for Me or against Me, for My Word or against it. They will be reminded of Me,
of the fact that I still exist, at the very least in the minds and lives of people like you, who are willing to humiliate
themselves for that belief to such an extent that theyre willing to endure the ridicule of people.
Even if they brush it off afterwards, they will remember that point in their lives some day as a very crucial and decisive
one, where they were confronted with My truth, My light in their life, and they had the choice to either accept it or reject it.
Will you choose the humble road of a servant, lower yourself in the eyes of men in order to bring them salvation, and
consequently rule and reign with Me forever?
Will you run away from My task for you, like Jonah ran from Nineveh? And what will the consequences of your
disobedience be?
Instead of having his gratitude for all eternity for having brought them the message of salvation, you will always be the guy
who was supposed to have given him the message that could have saved him.
What IS your life if you dont give it to Me and you dont use what I have given you for the purpose I have given it for, which
is to win others to Me? Will you die daily for Me so that others might live? (I:392)

I will use anything to further My cause and have My message spread.

Remember the parable of the hired workmen: those who agreed to work in the field didnt do so in the end, and those who
said they would not, repented and went to work instead. Those who are supposed to do My work and preach the Gospel,
spread My message and be My ambassadors, often fail to do the job, and so I have to raise up and use others to do the job
for Me. (I:395)

People recognize that you're not "sailing under your own flag," but under Mine. They need to see that you belong to Me,
and that I sent you, that you've got a message, that you've got something to say.
Let them know you're a man with a message, a clear and bright message. Make it clear enough that those who seek the
light will also recognize it in you. (I:402)

None of My prophets was ever really enthusiastic and thrilled about giving My message to the people. Moses, Jeremiah,
Jonah, they all had to be persuaded to do what I wanted. To become an undesirable, one of those outrageous religious
fanatics that spread those controversial truths, messages of doom... extremely unpopular.
Are you willing to be made by Me, an influence on Satan's people, greater than his influence has ever been on My people?
You can be, just by proclaiming the truth, no matter what the cost! It will have an influence on them, you can bet! Whether
they will receive it or not, it's going to be the most influential and decisive factor in their entire lives! Things will go either
736
uphill or downhill for them from then on. By your obedience, you can accelerate the process, you can stop any further
delay of My judgments, which will bring about greater repentance, greater results and greater harvest! The tools are now
there with which to reap the harvest! What's still missing is the workers to sow the seeds and to gather in the harvest. You
scatter the seeds, I'll bring in the workers and the results! Do what you can and I will do what you can't! (I:405)

To whom much hath been given, of him much shall be required. You've been given much, and I'm waiting to see some
returns. I'm expecting more of you. Keep your eyes on the harvest!
"What have you done with your life"... in order to win more souls, to get out My Word, to warn the wicked?
No servant is above his master. If I have been humbling Myself and have gone out among the people to preach a message I
knew most of them would reject in the end, and that would lead Me to death on the cross, I am expecting the same of My
followers. And when there's so much to do and so few willing to do it, I just have to ask whoever is willing and available,
and I recruit whoever I can get a hold of.
Nobody wants to do the humblest of all jobs of passing out My Words: to be faithful witnesses. Of course, being a good
sample is part of that witness, but if the witness is missing altogether, what good is the best sample? Besides, there's
nothing that will help you to become a good sample of true love and humility like going out there to die daily!
Use your lives, and everything I've given you, to get out My message, and you will find yourselves blessed.
You've got to do the wenting in order for Me to pour down My grace. The boat has to be in motion before the rudder can
take effect. I've told you where to go: into all the world. Everywhere! Preach My message to everyone, everywhere, that's
what Mark 16:15 means.
How blessed are the feet of those who carry glad tidings from My Holy mountain! You've got the glad tidings, the good
news that could make them happy, the news that there is something more: My Holy mountain, Space City, where they can
come after this life, if they only will believe it and accept Me. Now you've just got to move your feet and bring it to them!
(I:422)

If you would focus on others and be concerned about them, about their Salvation, their finding Me, if that would be your
primary purpose, incentive and prerogative in your life, then you would also find happiness. You may be waiting for
happiness, but happiness is waiting for you to come out and get her. Happiness is a hungry, waiting soul, waiting to be
made happy by your obedience to Me in getting out there and finding her.
In order to not fall into a state of spiritual obesity, you need that focus on the outside, look out for new souls to conquer.
(I:449)

I simply cannot bless you as much as I would like with true happiness and all you yearn for when you're withholding My
Words from the people and are neglecting My commission and the job I have given all My children to do. I don't condemn
you and I love you unconditionally, but I still have to remind you of the truth and of your neglected duties, anyway. (I:456)

Along with the warning, you've also got to give them the answer, a glimpse of hope, that I am the light at the end of the
tunnel, waiting for each of them with arms wide open, if they will just receive Me.
Keep on the lookout for those who might be searching!
Have pity and mercy on those poor folks who often simply don't know any better. (I:459)

Witnessing is advertising the Product that has brought you the greatest satisfaction. (I:474)

You desperately need the help of more fighters to help you survive in the future, just as they desperately need you and
your witness, the truth you've got to share with them, in order for them to find their purpose in life, and a cause worth
fighting for! Just because there are some who will resist the option of breaking out of their cozy little cage doesn't mean
that there are none who want to be freed. And even if they all just wanted to stay trapped in their cage, you would still owe
them the message that they could be free if they wanted to, and I would increase your power and supplies by other means.
There are many who don't know that they have been deceived, who don't even know that there's a truth to discover, a real
sense and purpose in life! Find them, and in finding them, help them to find it, and to find Me, and in finding them, help Me
to find them! My little lost sheep! Oh, please, make them your mission, the one job you're wholeheartedly dedicated to:
finding My lost sheep! I can't beg you enough! (I:483)

In order for My Kingdom to be established, people have to know and hear about it, so that they can make the choice either
for or against it, and My sheep will get a chance to join you and help you in your efforts to win yet others for Me. (I:499)

I want you to share Me with the World! I want you to introduce Me to them!
I would love to hear you say to them, "Would you like to get to know Jesus?" (I:503)

The more time you spend with Me, the more the urge will grow in you to share that love with others, and the more My love
in you will compel and constrain you to give that love to those who seek Me.
Your own capacity to love and your own joy could be multiplied many times over by giving out more and giving your life
and My message to others more, by sharing Me more with others.
Reach out to those that would also like to get to know Me and touch Me and don't know how or where. They know they're
being lied to and I have sent many helpers to help them distinguish between the lies and the truth, yet it's hard for them to
know exactly whats the truth, because they haven't seen it practiced.
Show them, "Yes, there is an alternative, and there is an answer!" Show them that there is an exit out of the devil's matrix!
Be the hope of the hopeless! (I:511)
737
I don't want your getting out My Words to be another man-pleasing trip or something you do because everybody else is
doing it, but something you do because nobody else is doing it, and I said it should be done, in fact it's the Holy
Commission My followers have been ordained for, as all of My disciples have been.
It's the one thing all hell will fight you tooth and nail to stop you from even getting started. (I:514)

My job for you is the sheep who are not yet in the fold.
There is a totally new crop and harvest of a generation that has never even heard about My spiritual revolution. (I:520)

So few are concerned about the lost sheep, starving and bleeding out there, for whom I died, and whom I would love to
reach and feed and lift up, but too few seek that which is of My interest, they all seek their own.
Seek to be a more genuine sample of My love. Be more concerned about My sheep out there. Keep feeding them. (I:526)

Venture out from behind these walls in order to rescue others. Don't be afraid of getting hurt! You've got the Words of
eternal life, and even though they might not receive them the first time around, you must keep trying, you must sow the
seeds faithfully.
You must overcome your fears, your pride, your lethargy and your hesitancy to go out there and feed them, if you want to
inherit My fullest blessings. It doesn't really matter where you go, because My sheep are everywhere. The "father of faith"
went out, "not knowing whither he went," and that's the footsteps I want all My children of faith to follow in. Just go and I
will show!
I have promised you that there are sheep out there, so, just launch out on this, My Promise, and put Me to the test! (I:529)

I'm stimulating you spiritually to woo and win My lost bride. This doesn't mean that you should rush and do it in your own
strength. You need My Spirit to do it. And the realization of impotence and failure without Me is just helping to make You
seek Me and My Spirit more and to make you more desperate for My help and My Power, without which you simply can't do
it. (I:542)

I don't reward people according to their great accomplishments," but for their faithfulness in the little things. Witnessing
is one of those. (I:551)

There are those who don't even know yet that there is an alternative to the devil's bondage and slavery at all, and those are
the ones that I would like to employ you to reach and to free from their captivity, or at least to make them aware of the fact
that there is an alternative. (I:557)

Not very many people get converted by becoming interested enough all by themselves to find out and investigate. They
need incentives. They need someone to spark the flame of interest.
Even if the whole World is going the wrong direction, and even if it seems they all do so willingly, and that nothing can
stop them, you've still got to tell them that they're going the wrong way! That's your message, that's your purpose, that's
your ministry!
It's your job to find out how you can let people know - whether it be politely or not - that they're going the wrong way. If you
saw somebody walking down a road towards a certain danger or even certain death, you wouldn't be too concerned about
the politeness in your message or in your words you would use to make them turn around, would you? You would just try
to be as convincing as possible, politely or not. You could even get a little frantic about it, or sounding completely
unreasonable, and yet it would be justified, because you would just be very upset and excited about the thought of them
continuing down their path to certain death or danger, right?
You owe it to them to tell them and warn them. "Oh, sorry, sir, but what you're believing there is really not the truth!" - If
you want to do it the polite way. Or you can scream, "For God's sake, wake up from your delusion! You're living a lie!"
Just ask Me about what kind of language to use on what occasion. You may not know all the single answers to every
question or problem you may encounter out there, for you know the Answer Man. (I:576)

You don't just stand by in complacent indifference when you see a ship go down and most of its passengers drowning, do
you? You can't just stand by, shake your head and say, "Tsk, tsk, I knew all along that this was going to happen."
You've got to do something about it! You've got to save their souls. Nobody is as concerned about getting their souls
saved as when they're realizing their ship is sinking. And a lot of people are beginning to realize there's something wrong,
more than they're being told, and people will be more and more willing to listen.
You're not in this world in order to collect and gather applause, but souls. What do you think is going to be more rewarding
in eternity? That little bit of applause that's here today and gone tomorrow, or that little bit of money? Or the souls you're
going to win by going out searching for My lost? (I:586)

Focusing outward, on the sheep, is the best remedy against any personal problems there is. Nothing strengthens unity like
rallying together to fight against the real Enemy out there and fighting to get My message out and win souls into My
Kingdom! (I:591)

The only thing that's going to last, the only eternal value that you can take with you from this world into the next, are the
souls you're winning for Me.
And in order to win souls, you're going to have to put on the robe of My Spirit, that heavenly-minded gear, and not the
usual, "what shall we eat, what shall we drink, wherewithal shall we be clothed" mind gear that everybody's in out there.
738
In order to win souls, you've got to stop worrying about these worldly matters, and have perfect trust that I will take care of
them, so that the souls you're trying to win can really see that you've got something that they haven't got, that you're
actually not in the same sinking boat with them, but that you've got a heavenly life-boat to safety.
As long as you see things from the same materialistic angle as they do, it's going to be pretty difficult convincing anybody
that you've got something that they haven't, and making them want what you've got! It's got to be something better than
what they've got. As long as you only want what they've got - their money - and you cannot instill in them the desire to
have what you've got, namely Me, you're not going to be much of a soul winner.
My calling, the job of a missionary, is not one to be pursued half-heartedly or lazily, you've got to give it your all! (I:599)

Live each day as if it were your last! Like this you won't miss any golden opportunity to get in a witness. You've got
nothing to lose, so don't be afraid or ashamed to talk about Me! You can only gain by it, and so will they, even if they
initially might resist it!
Your light and your fire may seem rather insignificant right now, but it'll really light up the landscape when the darkness
comes. Prepare for it, and help others to prepare for it! The best possible way to prepare for it is by establishing a living
relationship with Me. Encourage others to do that!
Show them that it's possible to talk to Me, hear from Me, to be loved by Me and to receive whatever they might need
straight from Me. (I:608)

Take up your cross and follow Me, spreading My message of truth to the lost and hungry sheep and being a ray of light in a
dark and dreary world! (I:613)

I want to be your warmth when you're cold, your food when you're hungry... everything you ever need. And the more I will
be to you, the more you let Me satisfy you, the more enthusiastically you will also share Me with others!
You will want to advertise Me, because you'll have found out that I'm able to satisfy and quench anyone's thirst and still
any hunger and fill any need. (II:20)

The fastest and most efficient way to get rid of any elements of self, pride and reputation with this world is giving out My
Words.
You must be so convinced of the truth, that you're in the right, and that My Word is the best thing you could ever give to
people, that they can't help but see that there must be something to it. (II:22)

Because there's such a need right now to save the lost souls which are otherwise going to be lost to Me for this age, I'm
calling all hands on deck. It's an emergency situation, a red alert kind of situation, where even the captains have to pitch in
and row the life boats in order to get them saved.
There are times when one has to forsake their personal calling in order to heed and obey the great and general call to go
and seek and save that which is lost.
I called My disciples to become fishers of men. Fishing is a skill. You can't just stand there in the middle of the brook or
river or lake or sea and wait for the fish to jump into your net. It takes a little skill to trick them into the net, a certain way to
swing the fishing rod, or to cast your net in the right way, without scaring the fish away.
This is going to simply require practice and the leading of My Holy Spirit. You can't look at them like a prophet of doom or
judgment, or they'll be scared off. You've got to look at them with love. Remember they're lost sheep, and you're trying to
restore them to the Great Shepherd. (II:28)

It's your God-given duty to fight for the Kingdom, to fight for the lost souls. It's time to go on the attack for souls! (II:37)

Make My business your business, not promoting yourself and your own cause, but Me and My Cause, truly serving Me,
promoting My Cause, My message! (II:40)

You've really got the advantage there. You know something they don't know yet, which helps you to prepare for what's
coming, which means that you're actually ahead of them.
In your hopelessness and in your desperation you find Me, and that's the greatest asset anyone can have in this life.
How do you become the "hope of the hopeless"? By having experienced the hopelessness yourself first, comforting
others with the comfort wherewith you yourselves have been comforted by Me. You "pass it on!" That's the beauty of it! It's
the principle on which the happiness and meaning of life is built, to "pass it on." (II:64)

Keep making progress in focusing outwardly, out toward the field and the sheep!
Passing out tracts sure is a conversation starter in the right direction, if you want to witness.
if you want to make a mark for Me, instead of leaving your own little mark on the world, that's the decision every human
being will have to make: whether they're going to promote themselves or Me.
You want the magic to happen? Just get out witnessing!
Witnessing should be the purpose of everyone's existence in My service.
Share your spiritual wealth in trade for their material riches!
Give what you've got to give. You can't keep it in! You've gotta let it out! It's time to show the world My love. (II:72)

As soon as you determine that what you want to promote completely is My Word, and nothing else but Me and My Word,
that everything else, your gifts, your talents, your self - are only tools you want to apply and use in order to bring that gift
to mankind, you'll feel My Spirit flowing through you and spur you on to action.
739
Give Me a chance to change their lives.
Be open to the possibility of Me changing anybody, no matter how hopeless it may look to you! It's presumptuous of you
to not even give them a chance because you think you've got them all figured out.
Just give Me a chance, and do your job of establishing that magical connection between 2 ears and My Words, and stand
back and get ready for something to happen!
You just find the right kind of pair of ears for Me, give them My Word, and look out!
I want to use you to bring Heaven to them, but they're only going to see and enjoy and have heaven in their lives as much
as you show them, as much as you allow them to have! (II:77)

I'm trying to get you to focus outwardly, on the truly lonely people in this world, who don't know Me at all, who have not yet
found Me, who don't have the faith you've got, to help support them through life.
Have compassion and look for them, try to reach them, to find them.
If you feel alone, you've still got Me to comfort you and to share everything with; to get the answers to all your questions
from. But so many people in the world are much lonelier than you and don't know that My comfort is available for them,
they're just waiting for someone like you to come along and tell them.
You've got so much more than the average lonely person in the world! Your loneliness is a godly loneliness; a solitude I
use to draw you closer to Me, to strengthen our ties, to make your faith and convictions grow and enhance our
relationship. If all things work together for good to them that love Me, for sure it will also include any feelings of loneliness
you might experience.
But what about those that don't even know that there is a God to love?
Those are the people I want you to have compassion for, the people I want you to reach, to dedicate your life to. (II:79)

I want to prove, show and manifest My life-changing Power to you first, so that you're going to be all the more "sold" on
My "product," and that your faith will be fresh, fiery and alive, and testifying of your very own experience when you tell
others about how I could change their lives or how they could apply My power to their lives in order to make them better.
"He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much," if you're faithful to get out the message in a low position, then
you'll also be faithful to get it out when you're in a more elevated position.
Have less of a "Jonah" attitude toward them, and more of a "Jesus" attitude, the attitude of a shepherd that would give his
life for the sheep. It's easy to preach hellfire and damnation from an elevated platform. But it's another story to be mingling
with them, right down there on the streets, on eye-level, in order to bring them My truth.
My power is available for the main purpose I have given you the power for: to witness, the meaning of existence. (II:81)

You wonder, "Winning souls isn't going to put butter on my bread." But oh, the eternal rewards for each soul that you win
for Me!
If I could get you to make souls your major focus and incentive, what an endless episode of joy your life could be!
If you could see the eternal and everlasting rewards that will follow this act of humbling yourself in order to bring a person
to Me, if you could only see a glimpse of it, you would stop working for anything else and investing your life into anything
else but this.
Do you have the faith and the kind of long-term vision it takes to win souls?
Who are you serving? Me? - Investing your time and energy into winning souls for My Kingdom? (II:82)

Convey to them that I need them. The devil uses them to the point of abusing them, and as long as this fills their need to
be needed, to feel useful, that they have found their place in the world, and as long as they're not even aware of the fact
that I have a much greater need of them, and for a much worthier cause, why should they ever get to the point of even
considering to serve Me? How could they, if they don't even know that I have need of them?
That's why I need you to let them know that I need them! This should be one of the major themes of your approach, just
like anyone who would recruit new soldiers for an army, or workers for a project: you make them aware of the need, you
make them aware of the rewards, and you advertise the vacancy, make them aware that there's a place for them that I
would want and need them very badly to fill, if only they are willing and say "yes" to Me!
Unfortunately, this is not at all the way most of My reapers are recruiting new soldiers at this point in time. That sense of
urgency is nearly lacking entirely.
I have need of them! Great need! And you must let them know! This is your job! Don't withhold from them the golden
opportunity, the chance of a life-time to be employed by the best Employer in the world, to find the best cause anyone
could ever live and fight for! (II:100)

If I would count only those who don't take every opportunity to sneak out and find a way around having to go out
witnessing whenever they can, the odds would be very similar to those of Gideon's army: I'd have to send the tens of
thousands home and stick with a few hundred.
That's why I'm not very choosey right now and will wink at people's weaknesses, as long as they're willing to witness and
do the job and get out the Word, because there are just so very, very few who do. The large majority is trying to find other
things wherewith to busy themselves in order to avoid that hard and humbling task of fulfilling the commission I have
given all of you.
If you would just stay focused on the witnessing, on the battle that's to fight out there, all the other things would fall into
place eventually. You would be so thrilled by the results you would achieve, if you would just obey Me and get out there
and bring in the sheep, all your little internal problems and idiosyncrasies would shrink to insignificant sizes in
comparison!
I don't care about any other qualities right now than one's willingness to do the job for Me. (II:111)
740
I'm sending you out to seek and to find those who are hungry and receptive for the truth.
That's a prophet's job, to deliver a message, whether it's popular, or whether he thinks it's going to go over well, or not.
The world isn't being won, nor changed, much less saved by just passively sitting there until they're gonna get the point!
They're never gonna get the point unless somebody tells them! Some points they're never going to get in this life, because
you were meant to drive that point home to them!
sometimes you have to discern what message exactly it is that someone needs, and in order to do that, you have to spend
time with them, talking to them, hearing them out, finding out what they're receptive for and what not.
For 1 karat of diamond, you have to shift 1 ton of sand! It takes a while of digging and searching until you find a diamond
in all that sand, someone worthwhile who is hungry for the truth and will receive it. But you have to do that digging,
shifting and searching, otherwise you'll never find out!
You have to hear them out, check them out, talk to them and have a thorough look at them and not be too quick to discard
them! Some that you would have discarded as sand turned out to be diamonds which had to be found by others, which
shows that you didn't look very thoroughly! Sometimes you didn't even have the faith that there were going to be any
diamonds in that pile of sand in the first place. But I promise you: there are diamonds out there, and if you seek them, you
will find them!
What else is more worthy of the investment of your love and time and all, than eternal human souls? Is there any greater
cause to dedicate your life to? That was the cause to which I dedicated Mine, so, if you want to follow in My footsteps,
you'll be wise and do the same! If I thought they were worth it, so can you. (II:117)

It's obviously humbling to distribute My Word to a crowd of unbelievers, the majority of which will usually reject you.
That's why you have to keep your eyes, your focus and your vision on the spiritual, and trust My Word for it, that they are
truly spiritually poor, no matter how rich they may be materially, or how proud and cocky they might come across. In the
spirit, you'll always be much richer than they, even though the devil will often try to deceive you into believing that it is not
so.
When you only look at that which is before your eyes, instead of the heart, 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 and happier than you ever
did! What makes you think that they ever would have the faintest need of your religion, your God or anything from you?"
If you swallow that stuff, then of course witnessing or litnessing is no fun, because you feel like, "Yeah, what have I got to
offer them, anyway?" And instead of feeling like giving them what you've got, and wanting to share your spiritual riches
with them, you doubt, and you feel like they have something better than you, and the Enemy makes you want what they've
got!
The spiritual input will only bring forth fruit, if you are willing to be "ploughed" by the rough conditions you meet out there
when witnessing!
You do have something to offer: the only true alternative to the Matrix!
Keep in mind that it takes shifting a ton of sand in order to find the diamond, and don't let your impatience get the better of
you if you run into more wolves, dogs and goats than sheep! Of course the sheep are going to be fewer and less in
number, otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge! (II:118)

The roughness of the nitty-gritty of witnessing serves to rub My seeds deeper into your spiritual womb, thus enabling you
better to bring forth more fruit for Me. (II:119)

I have called you away from the shallow waters and am calling you to the kind of deep sea fishing for fish that are hard to
get, but worth keeping. (II:126)

Witnessing has always been the best solution for personal problems. It's going to meld you together better and faster than
anything else will or can, and I'm going to bless you for it. Witnessing is My ultimate plan for you, what I desire for you,
and in this you will definitely find many victories and solutions! (II:135)

It requires faith to go out there and die daily for Me!

It's tough being the only light in a sea of darkness, and not many have got what it takes for that. That's why I'm using
whoever I can who is simply willing to do the job, even if they're far from perfect. Whoever will get out for Me and get out
My Words to these people nobody loves, I will use them, and I am proud of them. (II:136)

To "make hay while the sun shineth" in My terms refers a lot more to witnessing and follow-up; establishing a church that
will support you in the days to come, rather than the immediate "hay" of money or income without being much of a
witness.
It's the difference between investing in the immediately visible result (money) vs. the longer term, slower results of sowing
My seeds and feeding the sheep. (II:141)

Make room for something new, just passing on the things, the message and gems I give you to pass on to the people who
will receive them, no matter whether many or few!
Be a little light and ray of hope in this darkness and let it shine! You don't have to be a big flash of lightning! Just a little,
steady light, like a star in the sky, that will do, that's all I'm asking of you. (II:151)

The result of what artists feel after an exuberant performance is a feeling that many of them get addicted to, but it's not
nearly as fulfilling or truly satisfying as the joy over a single soul saved.
741
The less glorious task of going witnessing is a much greater accomplishment in My eyes.
Those tiny, insignificant missionaries, they're doing things that are really going to last, and they're going to enter into the
halls of fame of Eternity! (II:152)

If you wait for circumstances to be just right and perfect before you'll obey My commandment to go into all the world and
preach the Gospel, you're never going to do it! The devil will always be right there to point out to you, "Oh, but this isn't
right, and that little detail over here isn't right, either," etc.
My blessings don't precede obedience, and it's often your very willingness to go out in spite of the fact that it kills you,
that brings down that supernatural love and Spirit of Mine that you're really yearning for.
You have more love for each other if you experience the heat of the battle field together, and let that melt and mold you
together!
You can leave your greatest mark by telling others about Me! (II:158)

As far as witnessing is concerned, you must not try to work up the grace for it in the flesh! You must learn to enjoy the
product yourself, if you want to be any good at advertising it. Just relax and enjoy My Spirit, and sooner or later it's going
to flow out of you!
Yes, it does take an effort, it does take a sacrifice, it's true, it's like dying to yourself and to your pride, but it also brings a
new joy and fulfillment.
Ask Me to fill you with My Spirit until you just bubble over with My Words and long to give people My message to the point
where talking about Me won't seem like some strenuous effort anymore, but will turn into your greatest joy and
satisfaction. (II:160)

If you cease seeing the poor spiritually diseased as those who seek to cause you harm or as rejecters or antagonists and
begin viewing them as victims instead, you'll begin to get a glimpse of the vast ministry before you!
You're still seeing yourself on Outreach as the beggar, when in reality it is you blessing them with eternal riches.
Satan totally twists things and turns them upside down, inside out and makes things appear as the reverse and opposite of
what they really are!
For too long you have seen yourself as the victim, when they are really his victims, and he's just been fooling you by
keeping you from seeing things the way they really are! You are spiritually rich beyond measure, and they are the poor and
destitute, desperate for just a cool finger from you, having dipped it into My cool, fresh living waters.
But as long as you fall for the Devil's portrayal of the situation, you won't do them any good! It's like a doctor walking
through a hospital, himself complaining about his sicknesses and seeking aid from his patients! A bizarre reversal of roles.
Of course, not only is he trying to deceive you into thinking that you're sick or the pauper, but he's also deceiving them
into thinking that they are actually whole and not sick, and that they are rich, instead of destitute, naked and poor, as I see
them.
But what matters is that you see things My way! You must assume the role of the healer and benefactor.
You have been given so much! If you don't pass it on, if you allow the devil to scare you out of it because of pride, then
what could have been the beginning of a wonderful chain reaction won't come to pass!
Don't fall for Satan's deceptions. Expose him and his devices and lies to your fellowman, your mission field, your
"patients," "clients," whatever you may want to call them, those you are here to help and reach! You're meant to reach out
to those around you, your fellowman, loving your neighbor as yourself by helping them to find the same blessings and
answers you have found in Me.
I have simply opened up your eyes a little sooner and have allowed you to find and see the truth before them, in hopes that
you would be faithful to pass it on to them, even though they might not seem as interested, but they need it desperately,
just the same. Failing to reach out to them is the very sin the devil is trying to get you to commit, the very failure that's his
goal and aim!
Will you let him accomplish that? Will you allow him to cause you to fail and miss your destiny? Will he manage to bluff
you and scare you out of what you're meant to do? You can either blame him for it forever, or you can refuse to even give
him a chance! (II:171)

Make My Cause yours, and you'll really have something to say! If it's just your own opinion you're pushing, you'll only be
adding to the sea of voices and confusion. But if you become a mouthpiece for Me, I'm going to see to it that you're going
to be heard! (II:182)

Whatever else you may do, when you get Here, you will realize that compared to witnessing, it was all a waste of time. How
much more could you have given to win one more, ten more, a hundred more? (II:205)

If you witness, I want you to do it with the incentive of helping them to establish a personal, direct, spiritual relationship
with Me! I want you to win them to Me. Once you've won them to Me, I may lay it on their heart to want to serve Me, and I
may show them the best place for them to do so, just as you have come to the same conclusion and still believe after all
these years.
To bring a Gospel and a message to the world that they don't want to hear is nothing for the proud! This is a job that
requires superhuman humility and obedience, faith and love that goes beyond the natural qualities of man.
The devil says, "You cannot tell people about this! They're never going to believe you! They're going to say you're crazy!" I
say, "Believe Me, and I will lead you to those who will receive you, contrary to your natural expectations!"
Don't worry about what to say, because it will be given you what to say! When witnessing, the outcome is My
responsibility. It's something you do by faith, and it's My responsibility to reward that faith! (II:207)
742
Witnessing puts you on the "nobody" level on the scales of people in the world, but on the top of My level, so, if you're
faithful to do those things which would qualify you as a nobody in this world, be assured that you'll be a star in Mine! (II:222)

Fishing is an effort that requires patience, skill and perseverance. You can't get impatient if the fish don't jump into your
net! There's more to it! A bit more effort on your part is required than that! A bit more willingness to sacrifice and to
endure.
Sometimes people just don't know what they're saying; they really don't know any better, simply because they have been
deceived by the enemy. And the witnesser of great faith sees and knows that and looks beyond all that build of the devil's
deception, his stronghold in their minds! All the experienced witnesser and determined warrior sees is that My weapons of
love and truth are unconquerable; they only see a pitiful, weak little challenge to My immensely stronger Spirit and Power!
If there wouldn't be any harvest of souls to reap, if there weren't any treasures to find beneath the snow, what would be the
sense and purpose of existence for all My missionaries and witnesses then? Just to warn them and then have'em go to
hell? No, as long as there's still one single soul out there to be saved, it's worth it, and it's your job to look for that soul
and make sure they get saved. And as long as I haven't returned yet and put an end to all of this, you can peacefully
assume that there are still plenty of souls to win, plenty of folks to witness to and there's still plenty of work to be done.
(II:241)

You shine with a greater light when you live for Me, shine for Me, give out My Words and live for My purpose than when
you simply exist to make ends meet and merely making a living.
The more you pour out, the more I can pour in.
The more you give, the more I can give again to you... you've just got to "make room" for the new sometimes, and there's
nothing that will call down My Spirit on you as effectively and abundantly as your act of pouring out to others what you
received from Me. (II:243)

Cherish that which you have already found! Let it sink in, let it become part of your being, and properly absorb it, so that
you can share it with others, too, and let them benefit from your findings, instead of making your whole life one never-
ending search for more!
I don't mind you being curious and hungry for more, as long as you don't waste the food I've already given you, as long as
you share it with those who are needy, those who don't have any true spiritual food at all! (II:244)

Don't hesitate and wait until you got all the details straight! Don't bury your talents! Be wise in being simple and just giving
out what you got. The details will be straightened out later. Those who wait until everything is just perfect will never do
their part to change the world. (II:255)

There were many in My days, and in those which followed, who sought to make great names for themselves. But the only
ones who truly went down in immortal fame were those humble little faithful apostles of Mine, who did nothing but their
best to take the totally unorthodox message of a poor carpenter's son who had been killed and risen from the dead, to the
rest of the world.
I want you to find true fulfillment and satisfaction in faithfully keeping on giving out My message and being a living sample
of it, even if you think you're not accomplishing much.
The books that really count and that change the world and make a difference over time, are the ones written about My little
strange but true heroes. Those who felt like nothing compared to the big monkeys in the world, but they just kept swinging
from tree to tree, from country to country, city to city, spreading My message, and they soon found a swing that echoed
around the world (a metaphor based on the Disney movie Tarzan 2). (II:268)

You're leaving Me out of the picture when you deal with others without ever mentioning Me. It's as if My wife is talking to
somebody without ever introducing her Husband.
I am always with you, and don't want you to ignore or neglect Me, whoever it is you're dealing with or talking to. I want to
shine through you. I want to be right there, if not on your lips, then at least on your mind and in your heart. If you think
about Me and are conscious and mindful of My Presence with you, then sooner or later something about Me is bound to
cross your lips, and in the meantime they'll see Me in your eyes.
I want you to come across as someone who's got Me with you, and unless they indicate definite rejection, I want you to
make My answers available for them!
Ask Me to show you how you can talk to that person without coming across like a religious nut, but still including Me.
One way you can always include Me is by speaking in love, because I am Love. Love is not being superficial, not just
sounding the same as everybody else.
"Becoming one" is all about coming down to people's level to a certain extent and degree in order to bring them My
message presented in a way that's acceptable to them. It wasn't meant to be coming down to their level and that's all. It
was meant to have a purpose. You become one with them in order to give to them My message, to give them Me, wrapped
up in a packaging they can relate to, but not to forget about Me altogether and just hand them the empty packaging of your
superficial outer shell without Me in it!
Take Me with you! Let your light so shine before men! Let Me shine before them! Show them Me! It's your one chance you
might get to ever touch their lives for Me!
When you deal with people, let Me shine through, and give Me a chance to let that conversation with you make a difference
in their lives! Use love. Use My lingo instead of theirs!

743
Make each of your actions, words, conversations, gestures, one that will make a difference in the meaningless, lifeless,
clueless Matrix of this world. (II:271)

You don't have to pretend! You don't have to hide your light! Let it shine!
Be concerned about their soul! Only focus on the goal: their soul, safely in My fold! (II:274)

It's important that you do what you do for the right motives, in the right spirit, not because you're afraid of My punishment
if you don't obey. You can't be a successful soul winner if that's your only incentive to witness. It's gotta be love. On the
other hand, as you step out by faith to witness, I give you the necessary love. (II:275)

I guide all My followers around the world into the true light, all through their lives, even when they don't get around to hear
the message from one of My servants. I have many ways to speak to them and to prepare them, to teach them in My ways.
The important thing is that you don't miss the golden opportunities to bring them in when you come across them, that you
show them the simple door and entrance path to heaven, so that they don't have to keep walking and searching any longer
than necessary.
You've got the light and the power, the love, and it was given for the purpose that you pass it on to them, it's nothing you
can hide, tuck away or selfishly keep to yourself. (II:288)

Your natural stature is diminishing, deteriorating. The only way you can actually gain something that will last is by giving
away what I've given you, My Words of life, and by winning souls, which will be the eternal gain you will bring with you
from this life into the eternal, the only thing that will last. (II:289)

Witnessing is what it's all about, and there is really no other, no better purpose for you in life. It's the one thing the devil
fights the very hardest, trying his darndest to keep you from doing it! Experience the thrills of overflowing on others with
My Words of Wisdom! (II:305)

When you witness, you get inspired! Inspiration doesn't come from keeping it all for "me, thee, thou and no other," but the
inspirational level was always strongest where there was witnessing going on, where people were really doing the job and
pouring out, because that is simply where the inspiration will come from: that is what you got the Holy Ghost for, to be
witnesses unto Me (Acts 1:8), and if you want the Spirit, be a witness!
It's a choice that everyone's got to make: what's more important, their own physical comfort, or comforting lost souls and
therein finding the Comforter? (II:324)

Tune into the little people who you didn't even know were there, but who really need you. Start feeding the hungry!
Turn to those who appreciate what you've got to give!
Let those know about My coming to the world for whom these Good News really mean Salvation and the answer they've
been seeking! (II:326)

"You learn as you teach." Sharing things with others makes them more real. (II:327)

What the world needs is the gift, not any more wrapping paper! Just grab the gift, which is Me and My Word, and give it out
to whoever you meet; that's the job, and anything else is basically a poor excuse and a waste of time when it really comes
down to it. Especially in the light of the fact that so many people are spending so much time on all that goes around it, and
so few hit the nail right on the head!
It's time to hit the nail around the head, and to stop beating around the bush. So, concentrate on the essential; try to really
focus on hitting that nail right on the button, don't let the enemy distract you; quit fooling around. Concentrate on getting
out the Word, getting Me to people, whichever way you can.
If you do that, then you're hitting the nail on the head. Remember that time is short. The Titanic is up to its neck in water,
and the count of souls lost and won is going to be on you, among others who are responsible. It's not just a "nice thing to
do" to save souls, but the only right thing to do, in a situation like that, as I see it, and as the whole world is going to see it,
soon. So, how do you see it? And what are you going to do about it? (II:358)

How to witness under difficult circumstances? Difficult as in: because everybody has been brainwashed by the enemy?
The trick is not to only look for and discover the things you have in common, the common ground, but leading them to
new ground, the new territory of My sphere, the Kingdom of God, where I rule and reign and operate. You're not trying to
keep'em right there in Sleepiland, but you gently want to lead'em to Foreverland, to the Land of Truth, and the Land of
Love!
Even at the risk of being ridiculed, you should make it plain that you decided to put your money in the bank of Heaven
and that you're a faith-investor.
Put the money to the test and make it work and make it happen. The only way it's ever going to do you any good is by
using it, going out there and applying it in face to face combat and find out whose currency is stronger.
Your faith can do so much more for you by applying it and making it do things for others, too; simply by sharing it. Sharing
the faith is the name of the game. Share some of that wealth you've got stored up, because it won't do you any good just
keeping it to yourself. The only way it'll really grow is by giving it out, passing it on and giving it away, by sharing it! (II:361)

Witnessing is the timeliest, most urgent and essential job there is to be done.
What really matters is getting My Word out to the people.
744
Nothing is as important as witnessing.
Make witnessing your primary focus. Witnessing is it!
It's like seed time: they've got to be sown at a certain time, otherwise it's going to be too late. Now is the time! (II:362)

Most of the sheep are found in uncomfortable places... And finding them requires willingness to go to the not-so-
comfortable places sometimes.
The comfortable places are in the lowlands, and they're full of people who are not looking anymore, perhaps never have
been, they're just satisfied with whatever comfort the System has to offer them, and the places where the sheep feel well
are becoming more scarce. They don't want to be like all those self-satisfied gluttons of Mammon. That's why you've got to
look for them in the highlands.
I will supply for you to get there, in order to find and free My sheep. As you pour out My food and Word to the sheep, I will
pour out in double measure unto you. (II:369)

Whether people are going to accept the medicine you offer them, no matter how convinced of its effectiveness you may be,
still always remains another question. But you've got to sell and offer it anyway, because you believe in it, and you want to
help them; you know it's good for them. That's being a "soul doctor" and a missionary or a salesman for Me! You've got to
do the right thing, you've got to continue producing the good stuff, even if it seems like nobody wants it. The need is there,
and sooner or later you're going to come upon your "clientele," your "crowd," your niche in the market, the people who
will have been just waiting for what you've got to offer. (II:380)

He that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly... You've got to sow the seeds before you can reap the results. You've
got to woo some before you can win some. (II:389)

"Are you being activated?" is a good question to ask people you meet when witnessing, that's what you must look out for.
"What are the things I'm telling you, doing to you? Are they evoking a responsive chord in your heart to reverberate, or are
you rejecting what I'm saying, does it rub you the wrong way?"
All you've actually got to do in witnessing is look for the ones I've already prepared for you and activate them with My
Words. They're like codes that will awaken My sleepers. Like that alien tune in "Close Encounters."
So, watch for people's reaction to you! The good ones have been choosing good and eschewing evil for so long, they'll
know when the good comes around. They've almost grown allergic to the wrong tunes, the wrong sounds, the wrong
words, and the superficial stuff that hardly even scratches the surface. They want to dig down deep, that's why it's also so
important that you're real, that every song you sing is being sung in the Spirit, that you really mean every word that you
say, that it really comes from My heart; that you only speak when spoken through, because you're allowing Me to speak
through you!
You've got to have hope that My sheep out there will hear My voice, and they will respond, they will follow; I have promised
it. They're going to hear My voice because they will recognize it from all those times I have whispered into their hearts.
Just like you heard it and recognized it!
Sometimes you can already see it on their faces that they're My sheep. You just know it. And everything they say, every
word that pops out of their mouths seems to only confirm it.
"He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me." Go and look out for those God-
receivers, receptacles for God. "Are you a holy hole for God?" That's what's got to be your unspoken question when you
look into people's eyes.
Look for those YESes, look for those who will react positively. Just find them. They are there. (II:410)

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 and ready for the message today. (II:422)

Do all that you can to help them to see the Light, the sooner the better. You can relieve a lot of suffering and painful waiting
in the darkness for others, so bring them the light of the truth now, lest they perish without it. They might and eventually
will find it on the other side, but a life that has been touched by My heavenly Light is something much more worthwhile
remembering than one that hasn't.
Give them the greatest gift, one worthwhile remembering when their life is over... There was someone that believed in them
enough to bring them My Light! (II:452)

I'm always right here, waiting for you with open arms, and you're never alone, don't ever forget that, and don't forget to tell
others. That's the most important point I'd like you to get across, along with the fact that there's hope for anyone. (II:469)

In order to really seize the day, you've got to be the one who takes the offensive, instead of just being on the defense and
only fighting back when you're being attacked! That's why witnessing is so healthy, spiritually: it's a way to lead offensive
warfare, of strengthening your spiritual muscles and fighting skills. (II:474)

Don't forget the most important part about witnessing: drawing in the net! It would be pretty senseless for fishermen to be
leaving their nets in the water forever without ever drawing them in, wouldn't it? Don't forget to draw in the net! Sometimes
you may think, "Oh, maybe this is too early," but then you're also risking hesitating too long and letting the fish get away
again!

745
So, be more on the ball, have more conviction about getting them saved, and be more determined to get the person you're
witnessing to saved! It's unorthodox to ask people to pray with you, it may be unheard of, but it's still the right thing to do
in such a situation!
It's like the difference between talking about sex and actually doing it. It's almost like teasing to only be talking about it
without delivering the goods! You'd almost prefer people to stop talking about it instead of teasing you forever by only
talking about it. And that's how it is with witnessing and Salvation! Stop talking about it! Stop talking about Salvation when
they're ready to get saved! Get them saved! Don't be hesitant to draw in the net when they're ripe and ready. It's better to
ask them too early than too late! You can always ask a second or a third time. (II:475)

You never know who will be converted through your witness. Look at Paul... everything is possible.
Believe that I can change any life!
I haven't sent you to condemn the world, but to be saviors of the world, just as the Father hadn't sent Me to condemn
them, but to save them (Jn.3:17)!
Be a savior, not a judge! Be like Me, not the accuser! Bring them Heaven, instead of hell! (II:482)

Bring some light into the darkness! Let your light so shine before men! - That they may see your good works... They may
not always consider them "good," but what counts is what I call good, and if I call it good, then it IS.
If you are messengers of God's light and life, then it will always bring forth some kind of new life when you let your light
shine before men! (II:485)

You're going to have to take your job for Me more seriously! If you faithfully put hours into reaching folks with My
message, you'll see your "business" picking up and flourishing, eventually. (II:491)

View yourself as a vendor, a "provider" for the greatest Power Company there is: "Heaven's Power Inc." - The Juice that
never runs dry! Endless supply! All for free!
All you've got to do is get on fire and sell it! (II:527)

"The wisdom that is from above is... without partiality" (Ja.3:17). Remember to be "winsome" with each one.
Make an effort to draw each person you encounter closer to Me. Be a conduit of My Love! Be a part of Me! Be Me! - To
them. (II:529)

You're offering them the power to blow away all their shadows of the past, if they will just give Me a chance and allow Me
to, by receiving Me.
I can give them a better future and present than all the good times they ever experienced in the past. And especially for
those who didn't have any joyful yesterdays to look back on, whose lives have only been pain and sorrow thus far, I can be
their Comforter and Giver of a brand new today and tomorrow.
Of course, it's a whole different story when you're dealing almost exclusively with people who see nothing wrong with this
life, who only believe in themselves and who don't think that there's a need for any change whatsoever. They have
embraced Satan's illusion as the light, and the light of My truth only bewilders and even frightens them, it's a "strange
truth" to them, that topples their neat little picture of the way they see things. But you can still offer them the truth, even if
it may not be easy to swallow, it still is much better than the lie, simply because it is the truth.
The demand for it is kind of rare, which is why you have to ignite and spark people's interest in it.
It is your God-given duty to fight for the deliverance and Salvation of lost souls, and giving up prematurely would be a very
bad and negative thing to do, almost like treason, desertion, neglecting your duty and high calling from above.
It's almost as if you have accepted part of their lie, that they don't really need My Salvation and My Deliverance. If you
believe that, then in this aspect you have moved over to the Enemy's camp. You're saying (by your actions): "Yeah, it's
alright for you to keep on living the way you do. It doesn't make much of a difference whether you live with the truth or in
the lie. If the drug's the thing for you, then keep living with it." You're accepting the devil's lie as a "necessary evil" and just
allow it to coexist.
I'm asking you to sound a wake up call that's going to shake them out of their beds. That's what I would call success, and
that's what a successful mission would be in My eyes, if you have managed to shake a good few people up, to get them
convicted about continuing to live one more day in their illusion, their addiction to the lie.
Be a living alarm clock in their lives that will rattle them out of their sleep. (II:542)

If you will quench the thirsty, parched ground of their hearts with the water of My Word, you will in time watch a forest and
a beautiful garden grow where there was only desert beforehand. (II:544)

I have always wanted My disciples not to focus on their needs, their lacks, their worldly affairs, but on the harvest: My
need for those lost sheep out there who still need to be won, workers that might still be found, if you focus on seeking
them out. (II:554)

People need to see a happy and satisfied customer in whom they can see the joy of My Salvation at work.
That heavenly joy is found in giving Me to others.
If you go out to show the people how much I love them and how much they're being loved, you'll feel just how proud I will
be of you for doing so.

746
When you know that you are being obedient to Me, you just know that you are being blessed. There's no greater way in
which you can manifest your obedience to Me than by witnessing, and thus no greater way to experience My blessings.
The more you do it, the happier you'll be; Witnessing is a major key to happiness. (II:555)

Concentrate on the lost sheep! They'll be eternally thankful to you for having brought them My message and Salvation.
(II:565)

Those people out there are the reason you're still there.
Give them a chance! Give them the benefit of the doubt! You need to give them a chance before they can give Me a chance.
Give them a chance to give Me a chance! (II:566)

If you want new converts, if you want to win souls, you're just going to have to go out to the highways and by-ways and
find'em and bring them in.
So many people want to do it the "proper" way, off the streets, in a nice church building or some kind of nice meeting
somewhere. But the streets is still where it's happening and where the lost sheep are. (II:569)

If you want to be more loving, if you want to love more, just take your time to do it. That's the only way it works. It means
you cut a big piece of the cake of your time that's been given you and pass it on to others and share it with them. That's
what witnessing is: you invest some of your time into personally passing on to others what I've given you. (II:580)

Success, to Me, is winning a soul; not in order to make yourself feel "good" or redeemed to Me by your good deed of
winning the soul, but just because you've learned to allow My Spirit to perform that miracle through you!
True love goes forward in order to make My voice and My Words heard. Success means making sure that people hear what
I've got to say, making sure you're passing on My Words. Success, to Me, is not speaking unless you're spoken through by
Me.
Show them the way I really am.
Financial affluence is not nearly as reliable an indicator that you're on My path or successfully following Me as is the
amount of people you manage to witness to and the amount of souls you win.
Life as a disciple of Mine is all about witnessing; about winning others! (II:605)

Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who should ask you about the source of that joy. Pass on what you've
gained. Sooner or later, when the fruit becomes evident, people will listen. Whenever there's a need, do what you can in
order to fill it.
All I could do was sow the seed. Where do you sow the seed? Do you sow it in areas where there are already fruitful stalks
or wheat and ears of grain growing? No. You sow them on the vacant spots, where there isn't much growing yet. And you
don't sow seed where folks are already busy harvesting, either. (II:618)

It is not only your own absorption of My truth that will help you, but also your helping others to absorb it, as well: your
feeding them the Word, your witnessing My truth to others, will also give you a greater love and understanding for them,
along with more patience to deal with their quirks.
When you constantly put yourself in a position where you practically humbly beg them to receive My Word, you cannot
have any negative thoughts about them. It won't work. That's why witnessing is really a fool-proof remedy against pride,
self-righteousness and a lack of love, because it just practically forces you to walk in humility and love, you have no other
choice.
So, if you're lacking those qualities, you haven't been witnessing, when that's your job. Instead of being so critical of
people, you could be falling in love with them.
I know it's a tough job. But in order to get where you want to get, there's no other way. In order to make the progress that
you want to make in order to overcome your weaknesses, that's the remedy, that's the way.
You can't look down on them. You can only look eye to eye, standing on the same level with them. Give them My truth in
humility! (II:630)

You ought to be desperate about making sure you did just what it took each day to make a difference in someone's life, to
draw them closer to Me.
The world isn't going to come knocking on your door to ask for the Gospel! That's the mistake the churches are making!
All they ever do is wait for folks to come, but you've got to seek, urge, beckon and charge them to come in! (III:12)

If you decide to wholeheartedly listen, you will also find a way to bring Me into the conversation.
Listen to them with My ears, and you'll also have My words to give back to them as a reply. (III:26)

Put souls first, and everything else will fall into place. Put My sheep first, and I will take care of the rest. Feed My sheep,
and I promise, I will feed you!
The Enemy is sly and tries all kinds of techniques to get you to think that this thing is more important or that thing is more
important, but if you stick close to Me, I will always be able to tell and show you what's really most important! And one
pretty failsafe criterion by which to go is: if it's alive, if it's got a soul, and if you can talk to it, then it's got priority. (III:27)

You can constantly lead others home, to their real Home, even as you walk through this strange world.
Bring them Home, into My fold! (III:39)
747
Personal witnessing has always been more effective than the mass witnessing and preaching of the churches. I operate
one-on-one, and you must really adopt that style, too. (III:90)

Part of your task consists of letting people know what the real issues of life are, what life is all about, and to tell them to
quit wasting time on all the comparatively frivilous endeavors they invest their energies and resources in. (III:92)

You've got to see their naked, wounded soul beyond all that hardened, outer shell, beneath all the camouflage they put on.
Show understanding and consideration of the circumstances that make it so hard for them to believe.
Once they've been shown My love, and they still insist on dwelling in the darkness of their unbelief, then you've probably
done what you could, you have "delivered your soul," as My Word says, and I won't hold you responsible for their souls
anymore. But until then, you've got to be long-suffering and patient with them.
Be as patient with their hurting souls as you possibly can.
Reject them not, lest they recject Me! (III:93)

What a privilege and glorious task - what a reward in itself - to be able to bring the life of God to others and share His light
with them! What joy above all joys! (III:95)

How exciting and thrilling to be able to really move people in the spirit, to touch their hearts and move them from a place of
darkness into the light, to touch others with that light of love, and shed a glimpse of that light on them, and share some of
it's brightness, splendor and warmth!
The meaning and purpose of your life is to convey that concept of meaning and purpose to others. And by failing to fulfill
that purpose, you only achieve the opposite, namely a contribution to disbelief, that there is no purpose.
"He that gathereth not with Me, scattereth abroad." Activate that purpose in your life and start doing what you're destined
and ordained to do. Tell people about the meaning of life! That life actually has a meaning, a sense of purpose. There is
such a thing as purpose! There is such a thing as meaning! And what better and greater meaning and purpose could there
be for you than conveying that knowledge to people?
It's sometimes a hard and tough job to teach someone the existence of something they're totally oblivious to: the
existence of purpose. But once you manage, it's like breaking through from darkness into light, and it will have been worth
it!
Show them that there is a meaning! Show them where to find God, where to see Him; help them decipher His handwriting,
help them to discover His signs!
Show them that despite all the apparent meaninglessness, there is a meaning, much greater than they could fathom. But
it's not beyond their reach! In fact, God is more than willing to reach out to them and show them and teach and tutor them,
to talk to them.
Show them that there is a way that they can listen, even though they're deaf. That there's a way they can learn how to see,
even though they are blind! There is a way to know that which they know not of, that which they don't even believe exists,
they cannot believe because they have been poisoned with the gas of unbelief. But you can revive them, resucitate them,
awaken them and bring them back to life! All you need to do is give them the truth: there is a meaning to everything. (III:101)

Find some common ground! Build on the things you have in common! Show that you're really not all that different and that
you can understand and relate, and that you love and accept them! (III:102)

My servants are My latter rain that I have ordained to fall and refresh the parched earth in this time of the End, but you're a
little bit like a rain drop that doesn't want to fall. You're there in your cloud, saying, "No, let me just accumulate a bit more
of water! I don't want to fall on this stupid ground, on this stupid, hard and stubborn earth. After all, they don't even
deserve it!"
The problem is, if you hang on to the sky for too long, the sun might just soak you up without your ever having done the
earth any good, and you will have become "like clouds without rain" (s.a. 2.Peter 2:17)... "Wells without water, clouds driven
with the tempest..." (III:107)

What the people of God have to offer to the world is, principally, God. If anyone is interested in something else, they will be
disappointed. If they're not interested in God, nor in having a personal, intimate relationship with Him, then they've come
to the wrong place in search of the fulfilment of their hopes and dreams when they come to the people of God.
All the people of God, can ever do, is point Upward to Him for all the answers. If that's not where they want to turn in order
to get them, then forget it. Such people will only waste your time. Those who always want to have everything prechewed
and done for them and like to be served the food of God on a silver platter are not fit for the Kingdom of God. (III:108)

The danger of wanting to promote oneself instead of Me and My humble and humiliating message, which involves dying
daily, is always there, and part of the battle consists of just resisting that temptation.
The aspect of "dying daily" sometimes gets lost in all your efforts to cherish the opportunities to enjoy life and live life to
the full that I'm giving you... opportunities that are hard to forego. It's easier to pocket the blessing yourself first, instead of
passing it on.
Everybody takes what they are given, and everybody is way too busy playing with their toys, the blessings life hands them,
than to pay attention to the needs of others, to pay attention to Me... and you wonder, "Where are the needy?"
It takes thorough searching to find true sheep, and it takes a whole-hearted search, but they're out there. You must not
give up hope, you must not break off the search, nor get discouraged, nor distracted. You must continue searching. (III:110)
748
A conversation, just like all of life, is give and take, speak and listen. The goal is not always necessarily to impart as much
information as possible to another, but to have as large of a mutual exchange of information as possible...
By giving them space and time to empty their minds and hearts, you create the room and vacuum for more new input you
might be able to share with them.
Be a receptacle for the contents of their hearts, and once they have poured out, they will also let you pour in some. (III:128)

Giving out and passing it on means putting it to use and into practice, and it makes it all come alive much more than if you
just try to store it all away in theory. (III:142)

How do you help or cure someone who is sick, but they don't know it? And they don't want to know it...
People want to hear things that make them feel happy.
The whole story around Me strongly indicates that they're lacking something and something's wrong with them; that they
need help. Nobody wants to hear that something's wrong with them. And having to tell them that is hard.
Theyre a little more open to hear about the solutions to their problems, when things are going wrong.
But they don't want to take the responsibility for what has gone wrong.
One thing you cannot do, if you truly want to help them, is ignore their sin or laugh it off, because you'll be lying to them,
really, by giving them the false impression that they're alright.
That's why I don't demand of you to be smiling and friendly to everyone. I need both. I've got My lovers and "wooers," but I
also need prophets who will show up the sins of the people, who will refuse to compromise and laugh it off.
It's not a very popular job. I've got very few people willing to do it on a grassroot level. It's so unpopular. And everybody
wants to have friends.
But everybody has got their calling, and someone has got to bite the sour apple and play the dreadful role of the prophet
who shows and tells the people why things aren't working out the way they hoped.
It's not "tough luck." There's a purpose in everything, and "causeless the curse shall not come." There is a reason for
punishment, and every person should be interested and curious enough about the truth to find out what it was in their
case. There are things to learn from life. But so few are willing. (III:153)

I will resurrect My dead church, but I need those who will wake them up! I use people to do My work, and you can be one of
My instruments! You can be one of My wake-up calls to My sleepy army! (III:155)

What other meaning or purpose could there be for your life than to give your life in order for others to be able to finally
enjoy My riches, My abundance, My fullness of life? Until then, it's a selfish life, you take what is yours. It only becomes
beautiful and worth telling a story about once you sacrifice it for others, give your life in order for them to live.
Everybody deserves a chance. And that's what you've got to give them.
People will not always be as self-satisfied as they are right now, and you've got to be ready then to give them My Word, or
even better: tell and warn them now, so that they will know that a prophet has been among them. (III:161)

You're advertizing for the opposite of all the System stands for, and what you're after is their souls. Sometimes if takes an
effort and a price to buy those souls! It takes some daring, some taking a risk. It takes the courage to place a higher bid on
them, to invest and risk more for them than the enemy does.
"Whatever thou spendest" in order to win them, "I will repay." Any "losses" will be repaid and reembursed a hundred-fold.
(III:168)

In your witnessing you have to watch out that you don't spout off the answer before you have listened to their souls. You
need to find out first what medicine they need. (III:200)

It is My will for you to become concerned about the sheep, the folks and souls I lead across your path. It is My will for you
that you invest more effort, more time, more energy, more of your concern and blood, sweat and tears into winning them -
more prayer.
Winning the world for Me is not a job that can be accomplished with efforts that are anything less than wholehearted.
The sheep can sense how much they matter to you, and whether you would really lay down their lives for them...
Often, the reason why they make the choice against Me or you is not even so much because of their own rebellion, but
because there is simply not enough love there that would motivate them to pay the price of giving up their pride.
Do you love them enough to do all you possibly can in order to save them?
There's a whole bunch of fish to be caught, but only if you're willing to make the effort to really draw them in! (III:204)

It's My Power you'll want to give and convey to people. Focus on the Power not only as that which you constantly want to
receive from Me, but also as that which you want to give and pass on to others.
I want you to equip those who cross your path with the means and weapons to fight life's battles more effectively. I want
you to help equip them with My gifts, with My Power, My Light to guide them through life's trials and battles successfully.
(III:250)

It's your job to get people to listen to Me!

One of the first Endtime events that has to unfold is, "And this Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached in all nations, and
then shall the End come" (Mt.24:14). I still need you to do a bit more preaching, before I can ring in the last act!
So, if you want the judgment to come, just make sure you do your part and warn them first! (III:256)
749
Your job, in many aspects, is just to be there, making the truth available for those who want it. (III:263)

If you find yourself in an absolute minority, it just makes you and your message and your position and task in this world all
the more outstanding, special and significant.
You wonder, "Who is going to accept our preaching?"
Well, even if no one does, your success isn't measured by how many people will have accepted your message, but by your
faithfulness in proclaiming it.
My solution never sounds as interesting to people who are not really in desperate need of a solution, who have everything
running the way they think it ought...
I have let your world come tumbling around your ears, in order for you to assure them that I'll still be there to hold and
catch them when theirs will come tumbling around their ears... You will have learned and experienced My realness, My
Presence in times of trouble, and you will have a very real faith to offer to people.
Arm yourself with godly knowledge, so that you may be well prepared in the days to come, to destroy Satan's strongholds
in their hearts and minds, his constructed fortresses of disbelief.
I want you to become a skilled master fighter and expert at pulling down Satan's strongholds and delusions in people's
minds! (III:265)

Believe in the miracle that some will be healed and delivered from their addiction to the lie!
Your job is to give the message regardless of circumstances! (III:272)

It's not you who is supposed to speak, but the Spirit of your Father within you. You shouldn't worry about what you're
going to say. All you need to be concerned about is that you're going to be all prayed up and spiritually prepared, so that
you'll be in tune enough with My Spirit that it will be given you at the very hour, what you should speak.
That's the way it has always been, and is supposed to be. "That your faith" - and the faith of your followers - "should not
stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" (1Cor.2:5).
The devil doesn't really get mad until you name Me as the solution to his fraud. He lets those people get away with their
exposs, because he knows that the masses are not going to wake up and fight anyway. Even if they would, their only
chance to win would be if they have Me on their side. He knows their only hope of victory am I, and as long as I'm not
preached, they won't stand a chance, and thus he won't feel threatened.
The only menace to his kingdom is My truth, My Gospel; the message that there is a way out of all the evil in the world: not
only the evil of those other guys, the bad guys, but the evil in your own heart that would cause you to act the same way if
you were in their position.
You only get rid of the darkness by letting the light in. Darkness is the absence of light, and the way to remedy that is by
letting the light in...
It's one thing to point your finger at the darkness and exposing it, but it's yet another to be flooding those dark spots with
My light. All the fingers pointing in the world won't mean doom to the devil and his workings, but as soon as you turn on
the light of My Salvation message, he starts to squeal, because he knows it's the only thing that signifies loss to his cause
and his kingdom.
All the movies exposing the workings of evil in the world won't do as much harm to him as one salvation tract, one witness
that tells another soul how to get to Heaven...
Shine My light into his darkness, and that will really make a difference! (III:280)

People won't just snap out of their own familiar wavelength and tune into yours if they have no clue what your wavelength
is all about. In order to get them interested, you have to "broadcast" and "advertise" a little, and let them know what your
"station" is all about. You have to "play some of your music" in order for them to find out whether they like it or not.
In order to pour out to others, you've got to have a vision for them, and the faith for them, that they will take what you're
going to give them.
If you want others to consider your wavelenth worth tuning in to, then you've got to play happy tunes, and deliver a sound
quality that attracts them, and not play doleful dirges and draggy ho-humm songs.
In order to truly inspire others, you've got to broadcast inspiring and uplifting music.
You've got to gear your music to your audience, not just play for your own edification. You've got to tune into them first
and find out what they need.
It's not only having figured out the truth and watching how the world is going to pot because nobody's interested in it, but
continuing to focus on Me and having Me show you opportunities to pass on the light of truth, hoping and believing that
there must be recipients for what I have given you.
Failure to inspire others is often due to lack of vision and faith to even start broadcasting. You underestimate their
capacities to receive and pass on what you're giving. You figure they're not interested and they're not going to listen
anyway, so why even waste your breath, your time, your energy?
Visionaries are those who never consider their time, breath and energy wasted. They're those who have faith in their
audience, and enough faith in Me to believe that nothing happens by coincidence, and if I have put these people there, as
much as they may be on a "different wavelength," then I knew what I was doing, had a sense and purpose in it, and it's
merely up to you to find out what that purpose is by letting loose whatever you've got to pour into them and then see what
happens.
None of the stars and planets in the universe are in their distinct position by coincidence, but they influence each other in
perfectly ordained and synchronized proportions. Don't you think that what I have done with lifeless rock and matter I'm
also able to do with living souls?
750
Living souls are the most valuable thing there is, and the greatest evils on Earth are perpetrated by those who do not share
that view.
What's more valuable to you than souls? Is there anything? What else is there? What else, but to teach people, to lead
them into the light?
What are you interested in? Entertainmaint? Money? Diversion? Pleasure? Sex? Success? Safety? Can any of them come
up to the happiness and the light with which those shall shine who shall lead many to righteousness (Dan.12:3)?
You may not figure what you have is so great, but maybe they do, if you just give them a chance to let them make up their
own minds about it... (III:287)

Things simply won't get accomplished if you keep on waiting for people to develop interest! The Devil is a much too
cunning master at the art of distraction, in order for anyone to develop sufficient interest in doing My will voluntarily, just
because it happens to be so interesting. "Necessity is laid unto me to preach the gospel" (1Cor.9:16). The only thing that
works is that you realize you need to do it, whether you feel like it, whether it happens to be your particular field of interest,
or not! (III:321)

"Going into all the world to preach the Gospel" as opposed to only preaching "at home," is all about being mature enough
to forsake the scope of your own immediate group of interest, and expand beyond it, to a new one you may not be familiar
with.
Being a good parent goes both ways: you're not only teaching your child, but you're learning from him also.
And that's how it is with evangelizing, witnessing and preaching the Gospel to every creature, too: as you teach them the
Gospel, you're first inevitably going to have to learn about their customs, their language, and you're going to have to learn
about them in order to be able to successfully shepherd them and give them what they need. (III:330)

Many of My people throughout the ages would have just loved to stay preaching at home and getting the attention and
admiration from their own kind.
And it's usually the rejection of those you're trying to reach within your own borders and familiar harbors that drives you
out where I wanted you all along.
Those who will primarily appreciate what you have to offer are those outside, in the world, who haven't got Me yet to take
for granted...
I'm desperate for those who don't know Me yet and will appreciate Me as the Savior that I am and will be to them, as
compared to those who have been so comfy-cozy with Me all their lives that they don't know sometimes whether to
consider Me a blessing or a curse...
Your job is bringing new faith to those who haven't got any yet. (III:335)

How serious are you about proclaiming My Word?

Its not all about what's inside and how you feel! What's more important is what goes out and how you affect the world. Not
what goes into the body makes a man unclean, but what comes out of his mouth (Mt.15:11)! (III:339)

I urge you to go and find those who feel like they're born to help others, and are looking for ways to do so in the most
effective way, and sometimes simply don't know how. (III:348)

Its time to focus outward and tune in to the needs of others, roll up your sleeves and pitch in with the gigantic job of
winning and feeding the world that's there to reach.
It's time to realize that those around you need you.
It's time to pour out and be there for them.
Its time for the giving of yourself and the pouring out of your life to others.
You should be ready to turn around and make your major concern and effort the part of pouring out.
Its action time, and time to gain some stature by going out there and being on the move. I'm mobilizing My forces.
It's time to show what you've got, show all you've learned, and what My personal training and tutorship has done for you!
Its not about what you should expect from them, but what I'm expecting you to give to them! (III:369)

If you keep the fruits of the Spirit in mind more when youre witnessing, then youll realize what kind of a sample youre
supposed to be. After all, isnt that the main purpose for which the Spirit was poured out? To witness and help you to
witness better?
So try to keep in mind the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness
temperance; against such there is no law. Youll find that if you display all of these virtues in your witnessing, even the
advocates of the law wont be able to resist you. (III:421)

You ought to be constantly on the lookout for those who are looking for a way out (of the Matrix). (III:430)

Im really thankful and proud of those of you who do what they can in order to restore My image to the world and show
them Who and how I really am, and that Im a real and reliable Source and Force that people can rely on.
Thank you for all your efforts youre making to get people to put their faith in Me!
Witnessing is something that can really only render the desired fruit if it is done in the right spirit, namely a spirit of love
and faith, rather than out of fear of what might happen to you if you dont do it. Because if you do it out of fear, then you
pass on that same spirit: If you dont do this or that, then God just might strike you down and destroy you!
Get the accurate picture of Who I really am, and convey that and pass that on to the world. (III:434)
751
Send out a signal to the seekers: Youre seeking a different way? Youre seeking a way out? Over here! (III:445)

You have to check your heart about what your true motivations are. Are you scared youre going to miss out on the best
rewards if you dont witness more, or do more of this and more of that? Or is it truly love, and nothing but love that
motivates you to win their souls to Me? Because it is only love, and nothing but love that will enable you to do that, after
all.
Id rather have you so happy and thankful that you can truly offer Me to your friends and acquaintances as the best deal
of your life-time, by having personally experienced that I like to give you the desires of your heart and make you happy,
than have you try to serve Me for any false and less than noble reason.
If I fail to truly make you happy, then why should I expect you to advertise Me to people, anyway?
If I do manage to fulfill your wildest dreams, then I wont have to do any persuading in order to get you to give Me to
others. Youll do it gladly and voluntarily.
Once you realize Im truly as great as you wish to believe by faith right now, I know you will also gladly apply your energies
ton support Me in My effort to win the world for My Cause.
I dont expect you to pass on to others anything but what you have received from Me yourself. (III:456)

Yes, the world is a mess, but the good news is that Im in control anyway! And its that good news youve got to focus and
emphasize on! Publish glad tidings means, letem know that Im still in control, in spite of the mess the world is in! I may
be their only way out, but the good news is, Im more than sufficient at that job! I truly cut the cake! Focus on the solution,
not the problem!
The good news is that there is a solution to all the oodles of problems in the world today!
Sooner or later theyre all going to find out that there are problems, indeed, and your job wont be so much to explain to
them how all those problems came about, but primarily, what the solution is.
Of course, its hard for people to witness their beloved world collapse, and to believe that the only solution to all of this is
something as otherworldly as Me. But those who are chosen will find in Me the fulfillment of all theyve been looking for.
Youre not on a search for perfect people, but for people who in Me will find their perfect answer.
People are all like holes of different shapes and kinds, and what youre looking for is the type of holes for which I am the
perfect peg, the perfect Thing to fill it with. (III:462)

Consider by which youre doing mankind a greater service: by catering to what they want, or giving them what they truly
need, even if they may not be aware of it.
Youve really got something to say.
So, for Gods sake, for My sake, and the sake of lost souls, and last not least your own sake, say it!
Say what youve got to say!
Speak what I put on your heart to speak!
There are by far more important things for you to do than tickle peoples ears.
What they really need is My message of eternal Salvation. They need the Spirit that is not from this world, to bring them
life. (III:476)

Keep giving them the truth in love, whether they seem interested or not!
Its the truth, and its the best medicine against their delusion.
Whats important is that you try to convey to them the truth not in a narrow-minded way, of believe or perish, but in a
loving, attractive and inviting way. You must not push people away with the truth, but attract them to it by always wrapping
it up in love and genuine concern for their souls. (III:478)

You need greater confidence and trust that I will take care of the results if you let the chips fall where they may, and sow
more abundantly. Youre not in control, but I am.
Dont be afraid of their reaction! Let Me take care of that! I have promised to take care of you! Dont be stingy with your
light, but let it shine!
Youve got to be convinced of what you are doing in bringing them My clean water of the Word of truth, even if it may seem
strange to them, and they may have their suspicions about you strangers from another world (III:479)

Keep preaching and broadcasting that truth by any means available, so that at least they cant say they never heard it,
theyd never been warned. Of course its not what they want to hear. It wouldnt have been very favorably received if
someone had gone around on the Titanic saying, Excuse me, but this ship is going to sink! After all, she was deemed
unsinkable. And thats what they think about their System.
I have sent you to preach the Good News of the Gospel, but for those who will reject it, it becomes bad news, because it
signals, heralds and ushers in their doom and downfall.
The truth which has been uttered will come to pass and be fulfilled. As long as there are My voices of truth, I will do My
part to vindicate them and to prove them right. The world may say theyre nuts and laugh about them and ridicule them
and dismiss them, but I will always prove them right in the end. It may not always happen immediately or exactly the same
way it may have been interpreted, but in the end it will happen and come to pass. (III:480)

My message to every single human being is: Come to Me! (III:481)

752
A challenge to take on on My behalf would be to seek the group of people that is the least like your own, and try to reach
out to them and find common ground with them try to bring Me to them!
Dealing with people is your job for Me, reaching out to people, and reaching them with My message, and in this case,
whats particularly challenging about it is the aspect of reaching different people, since most people simply happen to be
quite different from you.
Youve got to give them a chance to accept and get to know and absorb and assimilate My ways. Once they got the
chance, the ball is in their court and its all up to them. (III:498)

Show them the way to real, true, and lasting peace by making peace with Me, which is achieved by letting go of all lies, sin
and self-deception! True peace is only found by embracing the truth. But they have no truth. And thats where you come in.
Youre My truth-bringers to the world. (III:500)

You start out winning a soul by claiming their soul for Me in the spirit. You cant do it in the flesh. And you cant override
their majesty of choice. But you can punch holes in the spirit into their walls of pride that the Enemy has cultivated in them
through their fears and self-protective mechanisms. (III:509)

Witnessing is conviction training.

The best way to keep your convictions in shape is to regularly stand up for them.
How strong is your own spirit when confronted with other human spirits?
By becoming more familiar with the habit of talking with folks about deep, serious and spiritual matters, you will get used
to it and also develop the ability of steering an already ongoing conversation on a different subject in that direction.
Its a battle for the ears of the world. Who will listen to our report? (Is.53:1)
Who will receive our witness and testimony? To whom shall the arm of the Lord be revealed? You will only find out by
bringing them the message and thus putting them before the choice of either rejecting or receiving it. (III:525)

There is nothing more effective than personal witnessing in order to promote My Cause and really drive the point home to
people to the extent where they actually get saved. It takes that personal interaction. All else is compared to cyber sex vs.
the real thing. It may be somewhat satisfactory, but youll never get pregnant from it and bring forth the fruit of a new life.
In order to have spiritual babies, theres nothing like really getting down to the nitty-gritty of spiritually making love to
them with My Words, personally, wooing and winning them and impregnating them with My seed. Theres just nothing like
the real thing!
Witnessing is part of what makes true discipleship.
It may be exhausting and tough work to personally witness, but its still the number one most effective way to bear
spiritual babies and get real lasting fruit! (III:544)

The devil is the epitome of self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Woe unto those who have him for their god.
I want you to preach the Gospel and tell people about Me in order to free them from their servitude, slavery and bond-ship
to this false, evil god and usurper. (III:550)

Its best to stay positive in your preaching and emphasize on the good and stay on a positive note and shun the negative,
try to avoid talking too much about the things that youre against, but promote Me, and the positive aspects of the Gospel,
with the exception of coming and prophesied Endtime events such as the coming of the AC and the mark of the Beast, etc.
(III:593)

Dont you think that a relationship with Me is what they need, and that hooking Me up with them could solve a lot of their
problems and change their lives for the better?
Youre not just trying to sell them another religion, youre trying to get them to know Me. You introduce them to Me.
Introducing them to Me, the Great Teacher, does the same for them that Ann Sullivan did for Helen Keller: She brought
meaning, yes, the very concept of meaning into her life, and thats what I do for countless others, too. But usually I dont
get much of a chance, because so few of My people want to introduce Me to those who dont know Me yet.
Keep in mind what youre here for: youre here to introduce others to the Great Teacher Who will bring meaning and light
and love into their lives. Isnt that a worthy endeavor? (IV:5)

The Good News and what is meant by The Gospel is not all the gory details about the evils of this world and Satans
workings and how he manages to enslave people, although it may take that sometimes in order to wake some people up to
the fact that they need Salvation. But primarily, the Gospel should be the emphasis on the Good News that I have come to
save you from all that.
There is a time for everything: a time to warn people of the evils that may befall them if they refuse My ways and counsel,
but then there is also a time to remind them just how easy it is to become a child or bride of Mine.
The message you want to convey to others primarily is that of Salvation, that of hope, and an emphasis on the light, not on
the darkness.
The foundation stone you must lay is that of Salvation, and that they accept Me in their lives. (IV:14)

I need you to publish glad tidings, the Good News.

A lot of people are preaching negative news, but not many are actively offering the Solution.
The Salvation message might not put you on the front page in earthly papers, but it puts you on the list of those who obey
My commandment to preach the Gospel! (IV:16)
753
I wasnt a great winner of debates in My time, and thats simply not what its about. Its about winning the soul, not the
argument. Id rather lose an argument and win the soul. Thats the goal Not tons of arguments in favor of your point, but
enough love to win a soul, even if you never win an argument. (IV:19)

People dont always seem to be appreciative of your efforts to bring them the message that could save them, but Ive been
trying to get you to shift your vision from what you can immediately see, the way people apparently are on the surface, to
that which is below the surface, and their true need, which they might not be so ready to confess, because of their pride.
(IV:27)

They that will seek Me with all their heart, I will let them find Me. The problem is that so few really seek Me with their whole
hearts. Their lack of interest, their indifference kills them
If theyd be more interested in finding Me, then My people would also be more interested and excited about helping them to
find Me, and consequently, it would become easier for folks to find Me.
But as it is, the vast majority is far more interested in finding other things beside Me
Which makes it so that more faith is required on behalf of My people in order not to lose the vision for the commission Ive
given them to preach the Gospel more faith is required in order to obey Me than would be necessary if everyone would
be eager to find and know Me.
So, its not easy, but not necessarily because I have made it thus. Folks basically arent interested.
My challenge for you is: how do you make them become interested? How can you arouse their interest in Me?
How are you planning to compete with the barrage of devices our enemy has developed to get them interested in
themselves and their own amusement or survival? (IV:30)

Tell people the truth about the world in order to help them see the need for a way out of this mess; that through
recognizing what mess theyre in they will wake up and want the Solution
I need you to invest your efforts in the spreading of the truth. (IV:46)

It would be a very selfish Heaven, dont you think, if you were to enjoy it while so many go to hell without having been told
about My true picture of reality, My message of salvation and hope, and that there is indeed going to be a change in the not
too distant future, of the kind that the peaceful peoples of the Earth, and the meek are longing for. (IV:47)

I dont just want you to advertise another religion or philosophy. I want you to truly have and enjoy the solution to the
worlds problems, and to make it evident that it is so by its effectiveness in solving your own, immediate problems, so that
you cannot just say, Look, I found this philosophy and belief here thats really cool, check it out, but you can testify,
This has helped me overcome my problems big-time! Ive truly become a better man through this!
They need somebody to tell them, Ive been there, and I found this thing that really helped me. And this thing in your
case being your relationship with Me, and a real, live line of communication with Me; the ability to receive the solutions to
your problems, failures and shortcomings straight from your Maker via the gift of prophecy thats available to practically
anyone who wants it. (IV:63)

The modern means of communication have made it possible that you can actually be a tool and a witness for Me in a far-
away country, even if you have never moved a step out of your house.
By looking unto Me you will gain the necessary strength and authority that will convince them that what youve got to say
matters.
The goal is to get them to trust in Me. Beg them to give Me a chance to prove to them Who and what I really am, and what
Im capable of doing in their lives. (IV:73)

Its not really all that important whether all those other people reject your message or cant handle it. What matters is the
few precious folks who do, those hearts of gold who are going to heed your call and are going to be found by you. (IV:75)

If your incentive is to make people happy, rather than pulling through your own plan of delivering the message more or
less because you figure its your duty, then there can be greater magic in that love power, manifested in your desire to
make them happy and putting their needs above your own, of preaching the message.
The goal is not just to slap the message around their ears in a there youve got it way, but youve got to woo them first,
win them, and then you can lovingly impart the message.
Many people resist being preached to, and in order to be a successful preacher of the Gospel, youve got to learn to woo
them first.
Love matters than any amount of message you may give without it. (IV:76)

The principal challenge is witnessing, since thats one sure way of having confrontation with people on behalf of your
faith. After all, that is the battle, and in order to stay alive and kicking spiritually, thats what you must do: go out there and
fight.
Youll experience enough persecution on a small level, if you witness, or at least enough resistance and challenge to
keep you alive and keep you from dozing off spiritually. So, you must seek that challenge, that battle, even if it may not
initially strike you as something pleasant, but its what will keep you alive!
Its your purpose and excuse for living, after all! (IV:96)

754
Some people need to be given a reason to believe. Theyve been brainwashed with all the arguments for why they
shouldnt believe, according to their agnostic scientists, teachers and media hawks, but there are few who make
reasonable pro-faith argumentation available on a greater level and in a way that would appeal to non-believers.
People have questions and doubts, and youve got the answers. At least some of them, and compared to many people,
quite a lot of them.
Witnessing also strengthens your faith in that you come up against questions and arguments people have against God
and the Bible and the biblical view of things that will cause you to probe further and find answers to and thus enlarge the
scope of your knowledge and perception of things, too. (IV:97)

Encourage them, calm them down and show, Relax, theres nothing to worry about! God loves you and doesnt mean you
any harm. Hes better to you than you could be to yourselves, if you just give Him a chance! Showem Im nothing to
worry about or be scared of; that Im actually quite loveable. For those who reject Me, life becomes hard all by itself. I dont
really have to do anything, and its not as if I would punish them. They punish themselves
And its a good thing to ask them why in the world they would want to do that, when they could have so much love (IV:115)

Help people to find Me, so that they can find out with My help who they really are, what theyre here for, and give their life a
meaning.
In order to find their purpose perhaps that which many people refer to as finding themselves theyve got to first find
Me, their Maker, and I will reveal to them what is their purpose and who they are and precisely what they are here for. (IV:120)

A bold and convinced individual professing his love for Me might go further to inspire another individual to reach out to Me
than all the choirs and worship bands in the world.
What some people need is a personal, individual approach, with a personal and individual testimony from someone they
can relate to. (IV:131)

Whatever it takes for you to touch peoples hearts and really bring across My message to them is what I would consider
service for Me.
Youve got to have a message to give. Youve got to have something to say.
You cant let yourself get away with passing up any opportunity to preach My message.
The only way youre ever going to make a difference in this world and really touch and change peoples hearts and lives is
by being daring enough to be a witness and a testimony for Me everywhere you go. (IV:135)

I will repay and more than make up for whatever you have invested in My work in making it possible for people to catch a
glimpse of the Real Me. (IV:141)

When you feel rejected by people, and feel that they reject your message, you have to realize that its because of the devil
that they dont like what you have to say. He doesnt like what you have to say, and so he seeks to discourage you by
manipulating and conditioning people into rejecting your output. Of course, hes also doing it in order to stop them from
getting saved. He wants to make sure theyll stay his slaves
As long as youve got Me on your mind, youll always have something worthwhile to say. (IV:152)

Youre complaining about the state of the world, and how I could let it go that far, and that its no fun to witness anymore or
its not easy enough, etc., and youre insinuating that it would be fair to call it quits in the face of such a difficult task. Your
task is your jail, so to speak, that you would like to break out of and you try to weasel out of the responsibility Ive given
you to bring My message to the people, regardless of whether they want to hear it or not.
They need to hear it; thats what its all about, regardless of whether they want to or not.
They need to hear the truth, so that theyre going to be without excuse when theyll be judged by Me. They could have
chosen to accept the truth when they heard it, but only if they hear it and you are faithful to bring it to them.
You see it as a handicap, as a circumstance that makes your task all the harder; I see it as a circumstance that makes your
light shine all the more brightly, and makes the sound of truth all the more precious.
The rarer something becomes, the more precious and valuable it becomes, too; and the rarer the truth becomes, the more
precious and valuable it becomes, too.
They may not appreciate its value, but I do, and I will be the One to judge them according to how they treated that privilege
when it was given them. If they despise it, then thats their mistake, and their own foolishness will be their judge and
condemnation.
Doesnt it drive home the importance of your job all the more, and the need for good and wholesome input and information
to give to the world, for My truth? (IV:190)

There is hardly anything more useful to find than witnessing, as far as Im concerned
It takes you down to the depth of the death of self and ego, when what your flesh wants is to ascend into the sunshine and
the limelight.
Its not in you to do My will, as Paul said. The desire may be there, and the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
What you need to seek wholeheartedly is My grace to do it anyway, no matter how hard your flesh rebels and strives
against it. (IV:201)

If you focus more on the blessings of blessed are and concentrate more on showing the attractive alternative, rather
than pointing out all thats wrong about the stuff they still believe in, youll also have a lot more success in your preaching.
755
Its a lot easier for people to accept what you have to say if you wrap it up in a positive packaging. (IV:216)

What is it that the world truly needs? Faithful witnesses who through their day-to-day sample prove and show that they
mean business for Me and are willing to go as far as to die daily and be humiliated for Me and My sake...
To really follow in My footsteps you have to walk that road of humbly and meekly witnessing to people personally and
touch their lives with your presence.
There's a time for everything - a time to avail yourself of the means of mass witnessing, and then there comes a time to go
out and mingle with the people and become real live flesh and blood for them the way I did... (IV:226)

Direct interaction and communication with people involving your personal presence, rather than just some medium, does
have an additional impact, even though it may be more cumbersome.
Its the advantages of personal witnessing over mass witnessing via media such as the Internet.
I would recommend to aim for a higher percentage of personal witnessing, so that it cannot be said, This you should have
done, but not left the other undone. (IV:230)

If you focus on witnessing, then opportunities to witness are also going to arise. If you make witnessing your goal and
what you want to do, because you just happen to know that its what pleases Me most, then I will open doors for you to
witness.
If you stay in tune with My Spirit, focusing outward and seeking ways to reach out to others and to fulfill My commandment
to preach to every creature, then you will find that I will also supply outlets and vessels for you to pour into.
If youve got something to give and youre focused on giving, then theyre going to come to get it.
If you know that thats your goal and the best possible thing you can do with your time, and you focus on it and walk
toward that goal, then you will also reach it, and opportunities will arise to make it happen.
As long as you keep seeking Me for the utmost possible you can do and for the most efficient way I can use you, I will keep
revealing these things to you and show you the way I can use you most. (IV:244)

The love I have poured into you, I want you to pass on to actual, real live people.

One thing is exchange of communication, and another progress and spiritual growth in those peoples lives whom you
reach.
My favorite approach has always been the personal approach.
Theres nothing like the personal touch and your actual presence to evoke a reaction to who you are and what you give.
Its more in the face, more direct, something they cant get around and evade
You are there, and theyre going to have to make a decision about you.
Youve got to make an effort to win people, not offend people.

My goal is that you become so gung ho over Me and this big advantage you have over others by having Me as that
permanent Source of everything you need, that you will more gladly, more willingly, readily and openly share Me with them,
offer Me to them and advertise Me to them, so that they can benefit from My Presence in their lives, too, the same way you
would recommend a good film, book or piece of freeware.
Im the best Freeware App on the market, thats guaranteed, the free supply-anything-youll-ever-need plug-in that will
make all the difference in the world on anyones system for the better.
The only thing thats asked in return is that youre willing to do a little advertising for Me, if I have managed to convince
you and get you sold on Me.
Sharing Me with others is really not that much more difficult or complicated. All it takes is your own getting sold on Me
first, you have to be convinced that I really am something worth passing on to others or recommending.

Youve got to be a doer of My Word, not a hearer only, if you want it to have the desired effect on your life.
To be a doer of the Word means to be sharing it, giving it away, preferably personally and face to face, as you come in
touch with different people

The same way I cause the rain to come down and water the earth, havent I called My Church of this day, My latter rain to
sprinkle the earth during the time of its greatest dearth?
Youve got to come down from your lofty positions in the clouds in order to benefit the thirsty ground of the thirsty souls
down there as rain that might bring life to others

You wonder whether therell ever be anybody ready for what you have to give.
Well, you might have to apply some marketing strategy. Youve got to wrap it up a little more nicely! Youve got to make it
more attractive to the world! You cant just hand them the raw bait, youve got to attach some kind of lure to it.

Help alleviate the suffering of the world through what I have to give to it, and thats your job to help pass on what I have to
give and have given you.
If I have given you a taste of the bitter bread of loneliness, may it serve the purpose that you wont be indifferent to the
plight of the lonely, and that you might have more of a broken heart for them, with a greater desire to reach them for Me!
Whatever input you give them and whatever help you claim to have to offer, its got to be more than lofty theological
advice.

756
How can you help truly lonely people to overcome their loneliness unless youve also been truly lonely? And with no one
left to cling and refer to for help but Me?
How can you really tell others that I am the answer and key to their loneliness, unless youve first learned how to be able to
use that key yourself?

Just make sure that the culture youre trying to promote is a little bit more the heavenly culture than your own, earthly
culture, since thats what youre there to represent most of all (2011:71)

What will make anyone stand out according to My Book is how many others they have dared to touch with My message.
Dont forget that this, as far as Im concerned, is your primary responsibility! (2011:81)

Sometimes you could make it a little clearer what you're trying to advocate, that you're a messenger and ambassador for
the heavenly Kingdom, and that this is what you have to offer... (2012:1)

You have something precious and valuable to pass on to the people you come in touch with, and youve got to cherish that
and focus on that, and you will find a fulfilling life and ministry, youll see. (2012:11)

Telling folks about My solution and gifts is always a win/win situation. (2012:85)

In order to find people to teach My Word, youre going to have to look for them, and thats the bulk part of the work.
(2012:105)

Its true that the prognosis for the vast majority of folks isnt all too bright. But still Theres a reason and a purpose for
your being here, and you shouldnt neglect that.
What can you imagine being the worst thing I could think of for My chosen instruments to do in this world? Its to refuse
fulfilling their purpose, for whatever reason, whichever excuse How can you withhold from others what Ive given you so
freely?
Thats why Paul said, Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel. He knew hed be guilty of basically the same sin as
those who are rich in this world without using their riches to make a difference for the better and help those in need.
(2012:107)

The only action that falls into the same lasting category as My Words is that of passing them on to others. (2012:124)

If you believe that Im with you, I will be with you, and youll be a witness and testimony for Me anywhere youll go. (2012:134)

Youre wondering about the phenomenon that on one hand I call you out of this world and draw you apart from them, while
on the other I ask you to approach them with My message and urge you to make more of an effort to reach out to them, to
have more personal contact with outsiders to convey to them what youve received from Me.
I want you to approach them as an outsider of sorts, being one of them in that youve got the same or similar
background, weaknesses, pains and problems, but youve found answers, relief and redemption.
The best kind of interaction with people you could possibly have, from My perspective, is the kind that is based on the
premises of trying to approach them on My behalf as a witnesser, outreacher, missionary or evangelist.
Of course, in worldly terms, thats nothing to look up to, nothing respectable, which is why you may have less friends or
acquaintances when youre working in that branch and line of work of pushing the Gospel (2012:141)

If you want to reach folks for Me, youre going to have to put something out there, some kind of bait for them to nibble on
and see whether they might like it
What always works is humility, kindness, love, cheerfulness. Itll always make any crowd or audience more open for what
you might have to say to them (2013:12)

Thats why witnessing, professing the truth, is so important: to counterbalance the ever-increasing flow of disinformation
with genuine information, even if it seems so strange to them that most of them wont even begin to accept or believe it
(2013:13)

You have the key to annul death on individual levels, according to their choices providing you present them with one.
(2013:48)

I have come to free people from the curse of their sins, and its your job, as a professing follower and disciple of Mine, to
carry that liberating torch of truth to them, and theres really nothing sadder in the whole world than someone who could
bring light and Salvation to so many others, but simply wont, because he thinks its hardly worth the attempt.
I know you think its impossible: How can you witness or bring the Gospel to someone so self-satisfied or full of
themselves? But then, youll never know until you try, and until youve tried, you owe them that effort and chance to have
their lives changed by Me.
Invest that effort in the undertaking of winning someone to Me! You figure that if theyll reject Me and your message, all
that effort will have been in vain, but really it wont, since its merely your job to get them to make that decision.
Would you want to be guilty of not having given a soul the chance to find Salvation?
An attitude and preset notion of, They dont want it anyway is not a very success-promising one for a would-be soul
winner. (2013:50)
757
You cant expect all those masses around you to suddenly become enlightened and start behaving the way youd expect
them to.
Its you who have got to make a step toward them, instead of passively waiting for them to take the first step toward you.
After all, isnt that your job, to reach out to every creature with My message in some way, all across the world?
Theyre creatures, which means, created by God, and thus you owe them the message and your good and best behavior
toward them just as you would owe it to any other, more sophisticated folk.
Its not up to you to judge whether theyre worthy of that effort of yours or not. (2013:114)

Help those who may be seeking for truth, forgiveness or life eternal!
There isnt greater happiness than managing to make others happy, especially by helping them find the truth, forgiveness
and eternal life a deeper meaning of everything; especially if theyve been looking for something like that. (2014:7)

When people obey My commandments like Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel they often are able to enjoy
more pleasant setups there than in some of their home countries
There is a reason why life in other countries where you preach My Gospel has been more pleasant and if you dedicate
your life a bit more to giving out My message of love and life, youll notice a positive change. Come back to My job for My
disciples, and youll enjoy it (2014:61)

Believe in Me and try to get others to believe in Me, too! Thats what witnessing was all about. (2014:63)

Share some more of that message about Me, helping other people to find their faith in Me, and through that a more
spiritual life thats bound to result re-borne in Heaven! (2014:72)

Sharing Heaven is a good part of whats witnessing. To witness means to share Heaven with them; so, go on and share It!
(2014:91)

As a disciple and follower of Mine, your witnessing is pretty much your most important job for Me. (2014:123)

To get out the message that will save others who would receive Me once they find out how to, and what it means is pretty
much the meaning and purpose of life for those who decided to follow Me!
Make an effort to keep being a testimony and witness in order to help those who are sheep to find and receive Me!
My course and direction: preaching the Gospel, witnessing and truly being a disciple of Mine. (2014:153)

Win others to their future in Heaven by making them receive Me!

Win others to receiving that Door to Heaven, which is receiving Me into their hearts!
Witnessing and winning others to Me and having them receive Me is worth so much more than that paper money you
might need to feed your belly and the rest of your flesh! Live for winning more souls for Me, more than just to earn money,
and youll discover the advantage of serving Me, way above the life just lived for earning money, the way they pretty much
all do.
Love others more by trying to bring Me to them! (2014:154)

Its a pretty tough life, isnt it? Well, and maybe like this youll have more sympathy for those who feel the same, and thus
might appreciate any offers of you to make it to a better Place beyond this life by helping them to receive Me. (2014:157)

To offer and pass on the faith that will bring the afterlife to others has always been My job for My followers and disciples.
Going into all the world and preaching the Gospel to every creature means, going anywhere you can to make people
receive that message of the life hereafter. And the more youll do that, the happier youll be, as it truly brings joy to
someone and fills you with it
Get back to preaching the Gospel and helping folks to gain eternal life through receiving Me. After all, thats what I came to
this world for, and thats why I chose you (along with others) to follow Me. (2014:164)

Let your growing faith in the There and Then strengthen others faith in It, too; and youll see, theyll ultimately highly
appreciate it, and not just thank you in the here and now, but will be grateful to you especially in the There and Then where
theyll show up because you caused them to and gave them the faith in it. Isnt that what witnessings pretty much all
about?
So, isnt it worth it, telling others about Heaven, as a greater Place to come, and as an eternal life theyll have, if they just
receive Me in their hearts? (2014:186)

When theres a tough enemy to deal with, its a clear sign that what you need - if not the whole world, or those who accept
it - is Salvation.
It might also be a good point to remember that that was one of the main things you were meant to give to your parts of the
world as My follower. (2015:50)

There arent that many who have the faith you do, so it might be wonderful if you could share that and instill it in others;
letting them know that theres something better awaiting them, if they can find the faith for it, or even just receive Me as
their Savior. Let folks know that theres something better than this world waiting for those who just give Me a chance to
758
enter their lives and receive Me through that simple prayer of opening their heart for Me and asking Me to come in and thus
free them from the curse of sin!
Thats your job as one of My followers, and you shouldnt forget it and shouldnt neglect it!
Is there anything greater and better to share than the following Hereafter I promise? The Place where I came from when I
entered this world you live in, and even the Father Creator of all dwells, ready to receive those Here who are willing to
receive Me, His Son?
What better task in this life youre living could there be? Share Me and My Salvation with folks, and youll discover life
turning out to become a lot better!
Those expecting Heaven, ought to share It! (2015:73)

Dont forget that your main job is supposed to be for folks around you to find Me and life eternal through you! Thats
basically the main job of your life; and well, neglecting it wont be anything youll be able to be proud of in the Hereafter,
if youll realize how many folks could be There, too, if only you had offered them My Salvation!
Try to be a giver of love and of My message of Salvation to those who might not have it yet, and remember this as the
purpose of life for those who believe in, and especially those who claim to follow Me!
Do what you can to win and bring others to Me, and thus making folks of them who can also have and share My happiness
and peace! (2015:82)

The more you think about Heaven, the more you might manage to tell others about it, and if theyre drawn towards It, have
them receive Me as their Saviour. (2015:88)

I wont let you down! Being able to trust Me for that will also make you a greater witness and testimony of your faith that
will make it more attractive to others than witnessing to them in mere words (2015:100)

Try to remember that as your main job for Me, to preach the Gospel to every creature you come across and helping them to
find and receive Me, and thus, their Salvation, meaning: eternal Life Up Here, where youll all find out itll be much happier
to be!
Share Me with others, and youll find through it greater joy in life, and thus, a life much more worth living; even if its not a
remarkably easy job to share Me with others in the world run by Our enemy and his forces. (2015:129)

What are you so scared of, to witness to others?

If you believe that the Hereafter is definitely better than what life in that world has to offer right now, then why withhold the
opportunity from others to get Here?
Havent you experienced in the past that leading others to Me was the greatest source of joy, happiness and blessings one
could experience in the current life?
Maybe it was one of the enemys tricks, too, to have you think that it wasnt so important for you to witness more in order
to save souls, since there might be other ways for them to make it Here
But, hey there might, but wouldnt that mean, youd definitely miss out on the blessing you would get for having been
the one who made it possible for them to get Here?
Be a witness for Me, and thus help some others to make it Up Here! (2015:133)

One key to a happier, more fulfilled and peaceful life is to obey the counsel you receive from Me, like on praying and
witnessing serving Me and the Kingdom, instead of just your own concerns about your personal well-being. (2015:136)

If you get too involved in physical matters in order to keep the flesh as satisfied as you can, well, it sort of gets you side-
tracked, and off the gear of trying to make sure youll win as many others to Heaven as you can! (2015:151)

Being one of Our witnesses down there to let seekers find an answer, thats your job! (2015:163)

A big advantage for My disciples job of witnessing: to become more heavenly-minded, more conscious of the Place youre
going and headed! While other folks goal may be fame, fortune and material success, if that Ones yours, Where the
Creator of the whole universe and His Family are staying, along with a host of angels, and all those who chose to seek Us
during their earthly lives well, for any of those seeking something else than material and temporal wealth or fame, youve
got It! (2015:169)

To offer and make My Kingdom accessible to people through finding out about Me, receiving Me and Salvation, wouldnt
that be the greatest job on earth you could possibly get into again?
How about taking one more turn and spin for Me and other souls on the road of life? Not just for your own success or
satisfaction, but if there is a Hereafter as your faith tells you: sharing that with others! (2015:175)

You should remember your task to warn others of whats expecting the world, and let them know about My Salvation, and
thus, a better life thereafter (2015:179)

Remember to be a testimony and a witness, in order to help others to find their way Up Here as well!
It may sound like a tough task to you to instill that faith in others, but just keep your eyes open for any receptive ones!
Remember that thats your task and job for Me down there: to get as many Up Here with you as you can, and you shouldnt
forget that!
759
What matters is how well and how much you can present the possibility for them to wind up Up Here! (2015:223)

You should do your best to inspire as many others as you can to believe in Up Here, or at least present them with the
choice. (2015:224)

Many of My sheep havent found their Shepherd yet, which is your job: to help them find Me and lead them to Me.
- Quite an important job, to deliver and help folks get saved from that hell on Earth, along with hell thereafter, dont you
think? Its not like all My sheep will end up or wind up there, in the hell thereafter, but the sooner you help them to find
Me, their Shepherd, and thus, the way to their true Home, the better; dont you think?
Instead of hell, youve got Heaven to offer them; and dont you consider that the best job anyone could have? (2015:235)

Few are the folks who are ready for My Presence and the Fathers Spirit
But as I did, try to make the best out of it, which is mainly getting other folks tuned into becoming Heavenly-minded.
(2015:247)

The more you get tuned in to your true Home, the more youll manage to get My sheep interested in It, and the more they
might like to get to know from you how to get There. (2016:25)

Becoming a greater witness for Me may be tough in the current situation, but youre just going to have to get used to doing
it under tough circumstances!
If you want to be lead, guided, filled and ruled by the Holy Spirit, youve got to make sure you do the job It was and is
poured out for! So want to be filled with the Holy Ghost? Then keep telling people about Me and the Salvation from the
punishment for sin received for receiving Me as their Savior! Your job and greatest task in this world and your life down
there! (2016:38)

One important factor is not to just be concerned about your survival down there, but the job each of My true followers
should have in mind concerning being a witness, and thus, a director to Heaven for others who are receptive. (2016:52)

With times turning darker, there should be some more souls becoming more willing to be won Up Here. And even if not,
your presence and message will at least delete any excuse for them why they couldnt make it Up Here, if they rejected you
and what youve had to say. (2016:63)

Witnessing is the main purpose for which Love and the Holy Spirit were poured down! (2016:76)

Step number one before being a good witnesser is to become a good sample! (2016:120)

Preaching the Gospel is the job of My disciples and followers.

Heaven on Earth (instead of hell) can be experienced through offering Heaven to others.
So want the Holy Spirit and a life of Heaven on Earth? Just get into offering Heaven to others!
Feel the Holy Spirit coming with witnessing guiding you on the right path! (2016:121)

Dont forget that theres Something Better expecting you, compared to down there, and you shouldnt just get prepared for
it yourself, but make the coming of the Hereafter part of your message, your sample, and whatever youve got to portray
and signify to others! Let them know about Heaven! The better Thereafter! (2016:134)

Why not get more into the groove of sharing Heaven with those whove got to go through hell - on Earth already? See the
necessity for a bit of that taste of hell in order to develop some compassion for others who are having to go through it
down there already, and may not have what it takes to prevent them from going there hereafter?
If My folks fail to do their jobs, things have got to happen to remind them of it; and sometimes theres no other way of
giving them a taste of the life of hell on Earth others are living often, because no one has shared Heaven and My gifts
and blessings with them.
So, failing to do My job for My disciples is a huge failure with vast consequences, and getting down to conditions that
make you aware of that, is something youll consider having been worth it hereafter!
- A little taste of hell for you to realize what youre failing to make efforts to save others from.
So, instead of complaining about the state of hell on Earth, wouldnt it be better to do the best you can to offer folks
Heaven? (2016:185)

Be a witness to others, to give them hope for a better Hereafter and a solution to all the worlds ugly problems as well!
(17:11)

Part of your witness and testimony is also set in your life-style; and by not supporting the Evolution-based educational
system, that is some sort of testimony. (17:36)
