Only He Who Does the Will of My Father

FOR WE ARE GOD’S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS TO DO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE FOR US TO DO
(Ephesians 2:10).

For a long time in my life, I expected God to come into MY PURPOSE, but, God made it clear that He wanted me to come into HIS PURPOSE. He already had a master plan mapped out for Himself, for eternity—a marked-out course that had been planned and prepared before the world began. He had certain projects planned, certain assignments lined up, certain accomplishments mapped out. After I accepted this, He showed me MY part of HIS PURPOSE that stood firm throughout all generations.

WHO HATH SAVED US, AND CALLED US WITH AN HOLY CALLING, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE, WHICH WAS GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN
(2 Timothy 1:9).

Precious One, I have a set of good works chosen just for you. And this specific set of good works is connected to My Will—the Will of your Perfect Father. Dedicate your life to Me, completely, and I will work My Purpose in your life, daily, moment-by-moment, in every situation. Relate everything you are and do, to Me, in faith, and I will work My Will in your life.

NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME, ‘LORD, LORD,’ WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT ONLY HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN.  MANY WILL SAY TO ME ON THAT DAY, ‘LORD, LORD, DID WE NOT PROPHESY IN YOUR NAME, AND IN YOUR NAME DRIVE OUT DEMONS AND PERFORM MANY MIRACLES?’  THEN I WILL TELL THEM PLAINLY, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU. AWAY FROM ME, YOU EVILDOERS!’
(Matthew 7:21-23).

To whom or what purpose have you dedicated your life? What will it take for you to commit your life completely to God, in faith, and let Him work His Purpose in your life? What do you think will happen if you did this? I urge you to talk to God about your decision.

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I long to do Your Will.  I desire to come into Your Purpose…only. Help me to let go of all the good works I have planned for myself and to let go of my own purpose that is set up according to the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies. Call me to complete commitment to You, Lord God. Then, the life that I now live in my human body, I will live in faith, only expecting Your Purpose to be done in my life.

The Lord Jesus has always lived His Life for God, the Father. When we invite Him to come live HIS LIFE in us, He will live it for God, the Father, in the same way He has always done.

Love Rejoices with the Truth

Posted by

0

LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD.  IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS.  LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH.  IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES, NEVER FAILS
(1 Corinthians 13:1-7).

How do you love when someone is unkind to you…when someone sets forth his own weakness…when someone’s love fails you?

When someone is unkind to you, do not delight in the evil that was done, but help that person to REJOICE WITH THE TRUTH.  You see, when someone fails you, that person’s heart is hurting, because his heart is filled with negative, destructive beliefs from the father-of-lies.  All kinds of thoughts are swimming through his mind, “I am not good enough.  I am not loved.  I have no purpose.”  He might even be upset at you, because he feels that God favors you above him.  Then, he becomes easily angered, rude, and self-seeking, as he tries to fix the negative, destructive beliefs in his heart with evil solutions.

What do YOU do when someone’s love fails you?  What do you do about the evil thoughts in your heart with which the father-of-lies tempts YOU: that YOU are not good enough…that YOU are not loved…that YOU have no purpose? Do you try to fix evil beliefs with evil solutions, too, by becoming angry, self-seeking, and rude?  Or do you rejoice with the Truth?

Has someone’s love failed you?  Know that your FACTS about the incident are probably true, but your INTERPRETATIONS about the event are most probably false.  Why? You have an enemy—the father-of-lies.  His weapon is deception: the principle of luring you into beliefs that are not true. And these negative beliefs are the reason for the pain in your heart…not the facts.

When someone’s love fails you, rejoice with the TRUTH. Lay your conclusions about the event at God’s feet, and ask Him for HIS PERSPECTIVE, instead!  You will be surprised at the results.

Remember, even if someone’s love fails you, YOU can choose to love him or her with God’s Love that never fails—Love that is kind, gentle, and patient, Love this is not self-seeking, not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs, Love that always protects, always hopes, and always perseveres. YOU always have a choice!

PRAYER: Lord God, fill me with Your Love that never fails, that always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres, that does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the Truth.

Regardless of which pain you have, the determining question is, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?

Put Your Trust in God’s Love

MAY YOU EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF CHRIST, THOUGH IT IS TOO GREAT TO UNDERSTAND FULLY. THEN YOU WILL BE MADE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF LIFE AND POWER THAT COMES FROM GOD
(Ephesians 3:19).

Beloved, do not put your trust in what is happening in the present. Put your trust in My Love.  Do not put your trust in what might happen in the future.  Put your trust in My Love.  Do not put your trust in your experience of the past.  Put your trust in My Love.  My Love never ends.  My Love never fails.  My Love is perfect.

FOR I AM CONVINCED THAT NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NEITHER ANGELS NOR DEMONS, NEITHER THE PRESENT NOR THE FUTURE, NOR ANY POWERS, NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH, NOR ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD
(Romans 8:38-39).

Put your trust in My Love.  Do not allow rejection to convince you that I have rejected you, too.  Do not let abandonment persuade you that I have abandoned you, also.  Do not allow shame to tell you that you are not good enough for Me, either. Do not let condemnation tell you that I have condemned you, as well. Nothing in all creation will separate you from My Love: not your shame, not your rejection, not your abandonment, not even your condemnation. Bring these beliefs to Me, Child, and I will show you My Love that surpasses your knowledge.

AND I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND ESTABLISHED IN LOVE, MAY HAVE POWER, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE AND LONG AND HIGH AND DEEP THE LOVE OF CHRIST IS, AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE—THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD
(Ephesians 3:17-19).

Have you experienced Christ’s Love in your abandonment, your shame, your rejection, and your condemnation? Lay these before Him and let Him show you His Love that surpasses all knowledge…even yours.

PRAYER: Lord God, how encouraged I am that Your Love surpasses my knowledge.  Your Love surpasses my beliefs of rejection.  Your Love surpasses my perspective of abandonment.  Your Love surpasses my conviction of shame.  Your Love surpasses my perception of condemnation.  Your Love surpasses death.  Your Love surpasses my past, my present, and my future.

I invite Your Love into the experiences of abandonment, rejection, condemnation, and shame in my life.  Establish and root me in Your Love, so I may be made complete with all the fullness of Life and Power that comes from You.

Since the beginning of our lives, the OLD MAN beliefs of abandonment, shame, condemnation, and rejection have been firmly planted in our minds and hearts by the father-of-lies.

Your Worth Is Established by God

I had a vision. In the vision I was walking down the broad road of destruction, my hands tied behind my back. Behind me was the enemy—the father-of-lies with his negative, destructive beliefs of shame, rejection, abandonment, and condemnation. In front of me was a cliff from which he was going to push me…to my death. I prayed, “Perfect Father, save me from the broad road of destruction.” Then, I became aware of a band around my wrist. It read: “MY CHILD.” I glanced behind me at the enemy. “My God is coming for me. He will rescue me,” I whispered. Suddenly, I was snatched off the broad road of destruction to safety. But, who was that? There was someone else walking down this road with his hands tied behind his back…in my place. Then, I recognized Him—JESUS CHRIST, THE PERFECT FATHER’S ONLY SON.

HE HAD NO BEAUTY OR MAJESTY TO ATTRACT US TO HIM, NOTHING IN HIS APPEARANCE THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. HE WAS DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN, A MAN OF SORROWS, AND FAMILIAR WITH SUFFERING. LIKE ONE FROM WHOM MEN HIDE THEIR FACES HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE ESTEEMED HIM NOT. BUT HE WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE PUNISHMENT THAT BROUGHT US PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED
(Isaiah 53:2-5).

Precious Child, did you know that I, the PERFECT FATHER, am the One who established your worth?  I am the One who settled your value.  I put the price tag on you.  On the price tag, I, the Everlasting Father, wrote…JESUS, My Son.

Jesus was pierced…for you. He was crushed…for you. I, the Father, did this…for you. That is how much you are worth…to Me.

Are you walking down the broad road of destruction? Do you want to be saved? Cry out to your Savior, Jesus Christ. He ransomed you from the father-of-lies and his oppressing beliefs of shame, rejection, abandonment, and condemnation. He came in your place…so you may be free.

PRAYER: Perfect Father, I praise You for deeming me worthy enough to send Your Son, Jesus Christ, in my place, so I may be set free from the broad road of destruction. Thank you that You came for me. Thank you that I may belong to You. Thank you, Jesus, for coming in my place.

Woe to us, the rebellious children, when we take counsel from the father-of-lies, and when we cover ourselves with coverings that are not from God. We will add sin to sin.

Experience the Love of Jesus

MAY YOU EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF CHRIST, THOUGH IT IS TOO GREAT TO UNDERSTAND FULLY. THEN YOU WILL BE MADE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF LIFE AND POWER THAT COMES FROM GOD
(Ephesians 3:19).

I live in the mountains and I love to take a walk each day on one particular dirt road that forms a complete circle.  During my walk, I always talk to God about everything and everyone in my life.  Sometimes I have specific questions for Him.  Sometimes I feel hopeless, lonely, or angry.  Sometimes I talk to God about a perturbing perception.  Sometimes I walk around the whole circle crying.  Sometimes I laugh and rejoice.  Whatever happens in my life, I share it all with God on my walks around the circle.

Do you know what?  I have noticed that the Lord Jesus has been walking with me around this circle of dirt road and giving me His Understanding, so I might know Him who is true.  There is this one particular spot in the circle where Jesus addressed my condemnation—where He clothed me with His Righteousness.  Then, there is the other spot where He addressed my shame—where he promised me that He + I = ENOUGH.  Then, there is the spot where He just embraced me with His Presence when I was going through the valley of the shadow of death.  On another spot, He addressed my rejection and crowned me with His Acceptance and Honor.  The whole circle is marked with spots where the Lord Jesus met with me.

I have EXPERIENCED the Love of Jesus on my walks, although it is too great to understand fully.  With each EXPERIENCE of His Presence, I have come to know Him better. Thus, He has been making me complete with all the fullness of Life and Power that comes from God.

WE KNOW ALSO THAT THE SON OF GOD HAS COME AND HAS GIVEN US UNDERSTANDING, SO THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM WHO IS TRUE
(1 John 5:20).

Have you experienced the Love of the Lord Jesus in your life, even though it is too great to fully understand?

If not, I encourage you to choose a special spot, somewhere, to communicate with Him, daily, about everything and everyone in your life.  Start where you are with your feelings of disappointment, loneliness, and despair.  Soon, by getting to know Him who is true, you will experience the Love of Christ in your heart, and you will be made complete.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I desire to walk with You through this life to experience Your Love when I feel forsaken, rejected, and condemned. I yearn for Your Embrace when I go through the valley of the shadow of death, so I may know You. I long to be made complete with all the Fullness of Life and Power that comes from God.

God Made You for Himself

One day, I asked God why he made me.  What was the main purpose for which He had brought me into this world?  He answered, “I made you for Myself.  I delight in you.”  Then I realized that to our Perfect Father it is all about the RELATIONSHIP.  He made us so that He could live with us, walk among us, and talk to us—TO BE OUR GOD AND FOR US TO BE HIS PEOPLE.

WHAT AGREEMENT IS THERE BETWEEN THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND IDOLS? FOR WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD. AS GOD HAS SAID: ‘I WILL LIVE WITH THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE’
(2 Corinthians 6:16).

This is true, Beautiful One; to Me it is all about Our relationship. I made you for Myself. In fact, I went to a lot of trouble to make this RELATIONSHIP possible. I sent My Son, Jesus, to repurchase you from the father-of-lies, to snatch you off the broad road of destruction, and to take your place, so you may belong to Me.  Jesus did not come to the world on His own accord.  He came because I sent Him…for YOU.

FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH HIM
(John 3:17).

Even the Holy Spirit did not come on His own accord, Child.  He came because I sent Him…for YOU.  He came to be IN you–to tell you the things I want you to know, so We may have a daily, moment-by-moment relationship.

BUT THE COUNSELOR, THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS AND WILL REMIND YOU OF EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID TO YOU
(John 14:26).

Do you have a relationship with the Perfect Father? Have you allowed the Lord Jesus to repurchase you from the father-of-lies? Do you hear your Heavenly Father’s Words to you, daily, through the Voice of the Holy Spirit?

If not, what is keeping you from this Relationship? Is it the belief that the Perfect Father does not want you, or that He will not talk to you, or that He does not like you? I urge you to invite the Holy Spirit to tell you what the Father thinks of you, so you may come into a Relationship with Him.

PRAYER: Let me walk with You, Perfect Father.  Let me be Your child.  Be my Father.  Be my God.  Be my Life.  Delight in me.

We now have a moment-by-moment choice: to live our daily lives the way we always have, under the reign of the OLD MAN, or to allow the Lord Jesus to live His NEW MAN Life is us.

God Provides a Way Out

NO TEMPTATION HAS SEIZED YOU EXCEPT WHAT IS COMMON TO MAN
(1 Corinthians 10:13).

Understand that when the father-of-lies tempts you, he does not appear as a little red man with horns, using black magic. No, he uses deception—the act of enticing you with negative, destructive beliefs that are not true. The father-of-lies will intercept your thoughts and imbue them with his own imaginations, attempting to lure you away from God, your Perfect Father.  He will use your own reasoning—your own understanding—as bait to lure you into sinful defense patterns to still your pain. If you accept, he will destroy you and those around you. He routinely repeats these customary moves, familiar to him, on everybody else worldwide.

AND GOD IS FAITHFUL; HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN BEAR. BUT WHEN YOU ARE TEMPTED, HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE A WAY OUT SO THAT YOU CAN STAND UP UNDER IT
(1 Corinthians 10:13).

Be comforted, Child. Although your enemy desires to stay hidden and secretive, his ways are not mysterious and hidden to Me.  Although his ways are disguised, they are not insolvable. I know with certainty how the father-of-lies entices, cajoles, seduces, and ensnares…AND I KNOW THE WAY OUT!

When you stand at the battlefront and the battle is in your face, I am IN you to show you MY WAY OUT. You do not have to use the sinful defense patterns your adversary offers you to still your heartache. Instead, EMBRACE the negative, destructive beliefs with their painful emotions, EXPOSE them to Me, and I will EXCHANGE your problem for My solution—MY WAY OUT.  Then, you will be able to stand up…and live, love, and laugh.

Connect with your heart, and find the negative, destructive beliefs for which the father-of-lies has used your mind and your emotions, recently, to deceive you. Then, in faith, connect with God and ask Him for HIS WAY OUT of your temptation. Then, take it!

PRAYER: How comforted I am, Lord God, to know that although my adversary’s ways are disguised, they are not mysterious and insolvable to You.  You know the way out of the pain in my heart, caused by the beliefs of the father-of-lies.  You know the answers…the solutions.

Thank you, Lord God, that You are able to deliver me from evil. Help me to accept Your way out of the pain in my heart, instead of the defense patterns the father-of-lies holds out to me to destroy me and those around me.

Maintain an Awareness

The goal of the father-of-lies is to fill us with a system of beliefs, so that we would fill our Selves with another system of beliefs that would correct the first system of beliefs.

All Authority Has Been Given to Jesus

THEN JESUS CAME TO THEM AND SAID, ‘ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME’
(Matthew 28:18).

Know that you have an enemy who is an impostor and deceiver and who loves to feign authority to dishearten and frighten you.  He will try to convince you that SHAME is the law that will always reign in your life, that ABANDONMENT is the power that will always rule your life, that CONDEMNATION is the rule that will always prevail, and that REJECTION is the force that will always remain.  Do not fall for the enemy’s deception. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

CHRIST…FAR ABOVE ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY, POWER AND DOMINION, AND EVERY TITLE THAT CAN BE GIVEN, NOT ONLY IN THE PRESENT AGE BUT ALSO IN THE ONE TO COME
(Ephesians 1:21).

Precious One, you need to grasp that all Rule and Power have been given to Jesus, the Savior.  Know that His Authority is genuine and not counterfeit and no other force can hold up against it: not condemnation, not rejection, not abandonment, not even shame.  And I, the Perfect Father, sent the Spirit of My Son, who holds all Authority, into your heart to be YOUR Authority: your Master…your Ruler…your Director.

GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS
(Galatians 4:6).

I bless you to submit all counterfeit authorities of abandonment, condemnation, shame, and rejection to the Lord Jesus, who is far above all rule and authority, power, and dominion…in the past, in the present age, and in the future.

Under which counterfeit authority have you been living, all your life: abandonment, or shame, or condemnation, or rejection?

Believe that the Lord Jesus can demolish any counterfeit authority of shame, abandonment, condemnation, or rejection that the father-of-lies has set up against Him.  All you need to do is ask Him to bring these counterfeit authorities under His Rule and Authority.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that all authority on Heaven and on earth belongs to You.  Your Authority is final, and applies to my PAST, my FUTURE, and the PRESENT age in which I am living.  I call on You to come into my heart to demolish any counterfeit authority of shame, abandonment, condemnation, or rejection that the father-of-lies has set up against You, in order to destroy me.  Let it be done according to Your Power and Your Glory!

May You Be Strengthened

Listen to this beautiful message from the Apostle Paul in Ephesians.  It is an encouraging message of Hope and Power.  Listen.  Absorb.  Embrace.

I PRAY ALSO THAT THE EYES OF YOUR HEART MAY BE ENLIGHTENED IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY KNOW THE HOPE TO WHICH HE HAS CALLED YOU, THE RICHES OF HIS GLORIOUS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS, AND HIS INCOMPARABLE GREAT POWER FOR US WHO BELIEVE. THAT POWER IS LIKE THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY STRENGTH, WHICH HE EXERTED IN CHRIST WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS, FAR ABOVE ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY, POWER AND DOMINION, AND EVERY TITLE THAT CAN BE GIVEN, NOT ONLY IN THE PRESENT AGE BUT ALSO IN THE ONE TO COME
(Ephesians 1:18-21).

Beautiful One, may the eyes of your heart be opened in order that you may know MY HOPE I have for your life—HOPE to get up from where you have been lying…HOPE to do what you have been putting off for so long…HOPE to conquer, to overcome, and to achieve.

May the eyes of your heart be opened, so you may know MY INCOMPARABLE GREAT POWER that is available to you…if you believe. Understand that MY POWER is the working of MY MIGHTY STRENGTH in anything that is keeping you down and dead…in anything that is causing you to fail…in anything that is hindering you from being the person you were meant to be, created in My Image. Get up, Child, and take hold of MY HOPE and MY POWER. It is for YOU! Let it be IN you!

Did you know that God has called you to HIS HOPE? For what or whom in your life do you need this HOPE?  Is it for something in your past, something in your future, or something or someone right now? Ask God to open the eyes of your heart to see HIS HOPE that is available to you, so you may overcome, conquer, and achieve.

Did you know that God has called you to HIS INCOMPARABLE GREAT POWER? For what or whom do you need this POWER?  Is it your faith?  Is it your love?  Is it your health, or your desire to live? Ask God to open the eyes of your heart to see HIS INCOMPARABLE GREAT POWER that is available to you, so you may become the person you were meant to be.

PRAYER: Enlighten the eyes of my heart, Father, that I may know the HOPE to which You are calling me and Your INCOMPARABLE GREAT POWER You have available to me. Let me start living in this HOPE and POWER, so I may be the person I was meant to be.

More Than What You Can Imagine

Posted by

It is hard to let go of anxiety, is it not?

Many times, I want to help God figure things out for me.  I would ask, but then I would imagine the solution. After seeing a picture of the problem in my mind…and a picture of the solution, I would map out the whole plan of attack for God, so He would know how to solve my problem.  At the very least, I like to give Him some suggestions, based on the pictures in my own mind.  Sometimes, I cannot visualize a solution and then I think to myself, “My Father must not have a solution either, since I cannot picture it myself.”

NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL WE ASK OR IMAGINE, ACCORDING TO HIS POWER THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN US, TO HIM BE GLORY
(Ephesians 3:20).

Beloved, I can do immeasurably more than what you can ask, and immeasurably more than what you can picture in your mind. I have My own Pictures…My own Perspective…My own Revelations. If you want to know them, you need to let go of your own pictures, and let Me show you Mine. And just because you sometimes do not have a picture ready in your mind does not mean that I do not have one, either.

DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERY SITUATION, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD
(Philippians 4:6).

Child, stop being so anxious. Instead, come to Me. Present your request to Me, the God of Power, along with your pictures. Show Me your picture of the problem…and your picture of the solution. Then, let Me show you My Picture…My Perspective…My Revelation. Only then, you will believe. Only then, you will receive.

What is bothering you? Are you confused? Are you anxious? Are you disappointed? See your problem in the form of a picture. If you tune in to your heart and your emotions, you will see the picture in your mind.

Present your picture of the problem AND your picture of the solution to God. Then, ask the God of Power to exchange your pictures for His.

PRAYER: God of Power, I realize that I often want to help You figure things out for myself.  God, I want to let go of this pattern and trust that You can solve my problems without my help. Create in me a mind that believes that You can do immeasurably more than the solutions I can imagine. Work Your Faith in me, so I would remember not to trust in my own pictures, but allow You, daily, to exchange my pictures for Your Revelations.
