When You Do Not Feel Loved

Have you noticed that you are prone to sinful behavior when you do not feel loved? Have you ever identified your sinful behavior patterns during times like these?  When you do not feel loved, do you start wearing a mask, thinking if you were a different person, you might be loved more?  When you do not feel loved, do you run away from situations and hide, because of the oppressing pain in your heart?  Do you place the blame on others when you do not feel loved?

I HAVE GIVEN THEM THE GLORY THAT YOU GAVE ME, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE: I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME. MAY THEY BE BROUGHT TO COMPLETE UNITY TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT YOU SENT ME AND HAVE LOVED THEM EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME
(John 17:22-23).

Precious Child, listen to My Word for you, today: It is MY LOVE that you crave the most, not your mother’s, not your father’s, not your sister’s, not your brother’s, not your husband’s. Stop looking for love in all the wrong places. Come to ME, your Father in Heaven, first. I will give you what you are looking for, because I, the Lord God, love you as much as I love My Son, Jesus. After you have received My Love, other people’s lack of love toward you will not matter to you that much, because My Love will fill you. It will shield you from the evil one—from the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies that deem you abandoned, shameful, rejected, and condemned.

I HAVE GIVEN THEM YOUR WORD; AND THE WORLD HAS HATED THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, JUST AS I AM NOT OF THE WORLD. I DO NOT PRAY THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, BUT THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE
(John 17:14-15).

So, the next time you do not feel loved, do not hide your pain, run from your own heart, or blame your state of not being loved on those who do not love you.  Instead, come and sit on My lap. Come into oneness with Me. EMBRACE your pain, EXPOSE your unloved heart to Me, and allow Me to EXCHANGE your sorrow for My Love.

Identify the sinful behavior patterns you have concocted for not feeling loved. Find the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies that manifest in your heart. Then, come to the Father, so He may deposit HIS LOVE into your heart.

PRAYER: How splendid are Your ways, Father in Heaven—to offer me the same Love You have for Your Son, Jesus.  I shall not lack.  Instead of running away from the pain of not feeling loved, I EMBRACE that pain and bring it to You, Lord God. I EXPOSE my unloved heart to You, making it accessible for Your Love.  EXCHANGE the negative, destructive beliefs that make me feel so unloved for Your Love, Lord God, taking what is in my heart…and giving me what is in Yours.

Maintain an Awareness

How much of our misbehavior sprouts from trying to PROVE that we are acceptable, worthy, loved, and wanted, because the OLD MAN character, conveniently formed in us by the father-of-lies, christened us unacceptable, unworthy, unloved, and unwanted?

The Two Counsels

The Relationship that Offers Life

Did you know that, during His time on earth, the Lord Jesus lived a life of perfect ONENESS with His Father?  To Him it was all about the Glory—His relationship of UNITY with His Father.  And now the Father has made that same relationship of Glory available to you—to be ONE with Him through His Son, Jesus.

AND THE GLORY WHICH THOU GAVEST ME I HAVE GIVEN THEM; THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE
(John 17:22).

Child, I want you to capture that just before Jesus left for Heaven, He prayed the following words for you.  He could have prayed for anything, but He prayed for that which was most important to Him and for that which is most important to you: THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ME, THE FATHER—the Glory of Unity.

THAT THEY MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE:  I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME. MAY THEY BE BROUGHT TO COMPLETE UNITY TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT YOU SENT ME AND HAVE LOVED THEM EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME
(John 17:22-23).

You need to know that the father-of-lies will try anything to keep you from the Glory of Unity—a relationship of oneness with Me, the Father, of whom are all things, and with My Son, Jesus, through whom are all things. The enemy knows that if you come into oneness with Me, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THAT I LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS I LOVED MY SON, JESUS, when He was here on earth. Don’t let the father-of-lies rob you of this Glory!

FOR US THERE IS ONE GOD, THE FATHER, OF WHOM ARE ALL THINGS, AND WE FOR HIM; AND ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH WHOM ARE ALL THINGS, AND THROUGH WHOM WE LIVE
(1 Corinthians 8:6).

What negative, destructive beliefs did the father-of-lies instill in your mind that are keeping you from the Glory of Unity—a relationship of oneness with God, the Father, through Jesus, the Son?  Did he tell you that you have no favor with God…that God will not answer you…that God only wants to punish you?

Submit these negative, destructive beliefs to the Lord Jesus and ask Him to bring you into His Glory—ONENESS with Him and the Father.

PRAYER: Father, how encouraged I am that You abound in Love and that You want to give that Love to me. I hunger for an intimate relationship with You, and I hunger for Your Love.  Call me into unity with You, so I may know that You are in this place, right now, waiting to receive me and show me how much You love me.

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.

The Two Counsels

The Father of Compassion

Hello Precious One, how are you, today? I, the Most High, already know how you are, but I want to hear from you, personally, because I love spending time with you. I love talking to you. I love having a personal relationship with you. Are you doing all right? Are you perhaps feeling sad, or mad, or bad, today?

PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF COMPASSION AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT, WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TROUBLES
(2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Precious Child, I want you to know that I, the Father of the Lord Jesus, am the Father of Compassion, the God of all Comfort…and I want to comfort YOU, today.  The word COMPASSION means the sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.  Know that I, the Father of Compassion, am aware of your distress and that I have the intense desire to alleviate it…when you come to Me.

 BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN: FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED
(Matthew 5:4).

But you need to understand that your distress does not function on its own.  It sits on oppressing beliefs, instilled in your mind by the father-of-lies: that you are comfortless…that nothing will ever work out for you…that your life is worthless.  Know that I, the God of all Comfort, can comfort you, at ALL times, and in ALL circumstances, by telling you the Truth.  However, you need to come to Me and talk to Me. You need to tell me how you feel and what the father-of-lies told you about your circumstances. During our time together, I will tell you the Truth. Then, you will be comforted.

BUT WHOEVER LIVES BY THE TRUTH COMES INTO THE LIGHT
(John 3:21).

Know that it is not your circumstances, but what you came to believe about your circumstances that are causing the most sorrow in your heart, right now. Therefore, find out what oppressing beliefs the father-of-lies whispered to you, causing you to have so much pain in your heart, today?

Then, come to the God of all Comfort and talk to Him about these beliefs. Tell Him what is on your heart. Spend time with Him. When He talks to you, He will tell you the Truth…and you will be comforted.

PRAYER: How marvelous is Your Compassion, God of all Comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles. Father of Compassion, I am willing to be comforted.  I invite You into the troubled spots in my heart that are filled with sorrow, distress, and anguish. Show me the Truth to these oppressing beliefs that are supporting my sorrow, so I may be comforted.

Understand that HOPE needs to come to you through your heart. Therefore, you need to CONNECT with your heart and find the places of sorrow, despair, fear, disappointment, bitterness, and anger that reside there.

The Two Counsels

Let His Light Shine in Your Heart

Have you noticed that you have a sinful nature that is filled with darkness?  This sinful nature is a result of the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies and has a character of its own, either pitiful and pathetic, or domineering and demanding. Because this sinful nature lives its own life in you from and for the father-of-lies, YOU keep on doing the things YOU DO NOT want to do, and the things YOU DO want to do YOU CAN NOT DO.

I KNOW THAT NOTHING GOOD LIVES IN ME, THAT IS, IN MY SINFUL NATURE.  FOR I HAVE THE DESIRE TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, BUT I CANNOT CARRY IT OUT. FOR WHAT I DO IS NOT THE GOOD I WANT TO DO; NO, THE EVIL I DO NOT WANT TO DO—THIS I KEEP ON DOING
(Romans 7:18-19).

Dear Child, it is no use trying to tame this sinful nature of yours, because this nature does not want to be tamed.  It will not obey you, no matter how hard you try, for it only listens to its master, the father-of-lies.

FOR GOD, WHO SAID, ‘LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,’ MADE HIS LIGHT SHINE IN OUR HEARTS…THE LIGHT OF LIFE’
(2 Corinthians 4:6 and John 8:12).

Listen to My Word for you, today, Beloved One:  Jesus, My Son, is the only One who can turn water into wine…let Light shine out of darkness…replace the sinful nature from the father-of-lies with His Nature, BECAUSE ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO HIM.  If you confess your sinful nature to Him and ask Him to save you from it, He will come into your heart to shine in you as the Light of Life. If you submit to this Light of Life in you, you will stop doing the things you DO NOT want to do, and the things you DO want to do, you will keep on doing.

AND JESUS CAME AND SPAKE UNTO THEM, SAYING, ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH
(Matthew 28:18).

Have you identified your sinful nature? Is it pathetic and pitiful or domineering and demanding? Which beliefs from the father-of-lies control it?

If you are tired of being controlled by the sinful nature, stop trying to fix it.  Instead, show it to the Lord Jesus and ask Him to remove it and put a new nature in you—His Nature that is filled with the Light of Life.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, Son of the Most High, Your Name is exalted above all. Lord Jesus, I am tired of my sinful nature that rules my life, so that I do not do what I want to do and keep on doing what I do not want to do. I confess this nature to You, Lord Jesus. Please remove the negative, destructive beliefs from the father-of-lies that are keeping this nature alive in me. Make Your Light shine in my heart to become my Light of Life—a new Nature under Your Authority.

God wants you to desire a purpose from Him, because He has a purpose that He has been saving just for you.

The Two Counsels

Peace through the Lord of Peace

NOW MAY THE LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF GIVE YOU PEACE AT ALL TIMES AND IN EVERY WAY
(2 Thessalonians 3:16).

Beloved, I want you to capture this: I, the Lord of Peace, want to give you Peace, at all times, and in every circumstance.  I know what you are thinking, right now:  This is impossible in my circumstances.  My circumstances are much too out of control and too extreme.

Precious One, listen to My Word for you:

JESUS LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID, ‘WITH MAN THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE’
(Matthew 19:26).

Child, Peace is possible, at all times, and in all your circumstances, because it is MY Peace I place in your heart…if you want it. My Peace belongs to Me and can be yours through My Spirit…if you believe. Are you going through difficult circumstances, right now? Are you anxious…worried…panicked? Know that your anxiety is your reaction to the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies. But, My Peace does not depend on the circumstances or on what the father-of-lies told you, because it is a Divine Peace, based on Truth that comes from Heaven. It is not a worldly peace fabricated by the sinful human nature.

Will you receive MY Peace in the midst of your extreme circumstances? All you need to do is ask for it and then, receive it, in faith.

FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST
(Romans 14:17).

Tune in to your heart, and find the troubled spots of anxiety that are filled with the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies. Then, invite the Lord of Peace to do the impossible in your heart—to fill you with HIS Peace through the Power of His Holy Spirit, despite your circumstances.

PRAYER: Lord of Peace, I marvel that all things are possible to You, even when those same things are not possible to me.  I marvel that YOUR Divine Peace is possible, when my own peace is not. Teach me to turn to You when I have no peace, to seek YOUR Peace that can manifest at all times, in each of my circumstances. Erase and replace the troubled, anxious spots in my heart that are filled with the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies with Your Divine Peace. May Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done in my life.

There is someone who came to bring Heaven to earth, into your troubled heart, into your dark mind, into your dead spirit, into your disease-ridden body, and into your broken life. His name is Jesus Christ, the Perfect Father’s Son.

The Two Counsels

When You Are Weak

BUT HE SAID TO ME, ‘MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.’ THEREFORE I WILL BOAST ALL THE MORE GLADLY ABOUT MY WEAKNESSES, SO THAT CHRIST’S POWER MAY REST ON ME.
(2 Corinthians 12:9).

What are your weaknesses? What defense mechanisms do you employ when things go wrong in your life? Do you have the weakness of falling into depression when you feel hopeless?  Do you have the weakness of giving up when you feel disappointed?  Do you have the weakness of fiercely defending yourself when you feel attacked?

Precious Child, did you know that I am with you during your weaknesses? Did you know that the Power of My Son, Jesus, rests on you during your weaknesses? Did you know that it is during your weaknesses that I want to show you My Grace? Beloved, My Grace and Power are perfectly enough for you to overcome the lies of the father-of-lies, who is at work in you during your weaknesses.

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).

My Child, through My Son, I can do immeasurably more in your life than all you can ask or imagine, especially during your weaknesses. However, you need to come to Me. You need to tell Me how you feel and which oppressing beliefs from the father-of-lies are making you weak. Then, you need to listen to My Words for you. Through My Words you will receive My Power to overcome your weakness and to do My Will in your life.

Focus on your heart, and find the weaknesses that live in your character through the lies of the father-of-lies.  Stop hiding your weaknesses. Stop running from them. Stop blaming them on others. Stop trying to fix them.  Instead, claim and name them.

Then, expose these weaknesses to the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask Him to do immeasurably more than what you can do with them—to work His Power in you, so your weaknesses may be overcome.

PRAYER: I praise You, Perfect Father, that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to deal with any weakness I might have.  Lord Jesus, I cannot fix my weaknesses, nor does it help to run from them, or hide them.  They follow me wherever I go.  Therefore, I call them by name and lay them at Your feet. Work Your Power in me, to do immeasurably more than I can ask or imagine.  Cover my weaknesses with Your Grace, so they might be overcome. To You be Glory!

We did not realize it at the time, but during our childhood we made the most deterministic decisions of our lives.

The Two Counsels

You Need the Truth

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.  YET BECAUSE I TELL THE TRUTH, YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME!
(John 8:44-45)

Precious Child, I want you to realize that there is one thing in this life that you cannot do without— MY TRUTH.  Why not?  My Truth is essential to you, because you have an enemy.  His name is the father-of-lies.  His weapon is DECEPTION.  Do you realize the full meaning of deception?  Deception is the practice of luring somebody into believing something THAT IS NOT TRUE. 

GOD HATH FROM THE BEGINNING CHOSEN YOU TO SALVATION THROUGH SANCTIFICATION OF THE SPIRIT AND BELIEF OF THE TRUTH
(2 Thessalonians 2:13).

I am Your Father in Heaven, who understands the art of deception and who knows the enemy’s schemes, inside-out. From the beginning, I have chosen to save you through sanctification of My Spirit and trusting in the Truth. Child, I can save you from the enemy’s lies, but you need to be willing to come to Me to receive the Truth.  When you stop leaning on your own perturbing perceptions and invite My Perspective into your own perceptions, no matter how true they seem to you, I will show you My Truth.  When you believe and receive My Perspective, you will experience a miracle, each time.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING
(Proverbs 3:5).

Are you willing to be saved from your perturbing perceptions, by believing the Truth, moment-by-moment? Then, tune in to your heart and find the perturbing perceptions that make you feel abandoned, condemned, rejected, or ashamed. Lay these perceptions before God and ask Him to show you His Truth. He will…if you are willing to believe.

PRAYER: Precious God, I praise You for choosing me from the beginning through sanctification of Your Spirit and belief of the Truth. I am willing to believe Your Truth, so I may be saved from the oppressing beliefs of the father-of-lies that make me feel sad, bad, and mad. I am willing to submit my daily perturbing perceptions to You, in exchange for Your Perspective. Teach me to trust You with all my heart, instead of leaning on my own insights, so I may give glory to Your Name.

The truth is if we do not follow God in our thoughts, we will not follow Him in our actions, either, and then we will end up with the wrong purpose.

The Two Counsels

Life through His Spirit

Beautiful Child, are you tired of life…your life…an empty life that makes no sense? I have a message of Good News for you, today. I have a new life available for you—a Life of Fullness that makes sense, every day, moment-by-moment, in all circumstances, in every way. It is the Life of My Son, Jesus, whom I sent as a Life-giving Spirit to dwell in your heart.

GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS…A LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT
(Galatians 4:6 and 1 Corinthians 15:45).

I want you to know that I did not abandon you in the wilderness to deal with this life on your own: to try and fill your own empty life…to come up with ways to solve your own problems…to run to distraction and destruction to cover your pain.  On the contrary; I long to be involved in every detail of your life, so you may be filled to the measure of all My Fullness.  In order to lead you to this Life of Fullness, I sent the Spirit of My Son to become a channel through which I may communicate with you and you with Me. When this relationship of communication is established in you, and you are living in My Fullness, life will finally make sense to you, every day of your life.

THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD
(Ephesians 3:19).

Beloved, unite with Me. Listen. Tune in. Become one with Me through the Spirit of My Son. Connect with your heart, daily, and listen to what I want to tell you through this Life-giving Spirit.  You will hear a message of Life…a message of Peace, Hope, and Joy…a message of Fullness.

BUT HE WHO UNITES WITH THE LORD IS ONE WITH HIM IN SPIRIT
(1 Corinthians 6:17).

Are you leading an empty life? Do you long for fullness? Take an inventory of your heart and find all the empty places. Then, invite the Lord God to fill each one of those places with His fellowship and fullness through the Life-giving Spirit of His Son, Jesus.

PRAYER: Everlasting Father, You are the God of Life—the God of Fullness.  My heart thirsts for You. I hunger to hear from You and receive from You this Fullness that fills everything in every way.  Enable me to connect with my heart and to unite with You through the Life-giving Spirit of Your Son. Dispense Your Life into all the empty places in my heart that are hurting and lacking, so I may be filled to the measure of all Your Fullness.

To You be Glory!
