There Is Another Way

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.  IN ALL YOUR WAYS, SUBMIT TO HIM, AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT
(Proverbs 3:5-6).

Beautiful Child, today I have a special Word for you. Today, I am calling you to a brand new way of living.  In order to live this new way, I am asking you to stop leaning on your own understanding—to stop depending on your own way of thinking by believing your own perturbing perceptions.  I want you to stop relying on your own mind’s logic for a very important reason.  Listen to My Word:

THE MIND OF SINFUL MAN IS DEATH, BUT THE MIND CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT IS LIFE AND PEACE (Romans 8:6).

Precious One, your daily natural assumptions are not reliable, because your mind’s reasoning is not trustworthy.  Your natural way of perceiving yourself, others, and Me is not in line with how I perceive you and others.  I know this is a very new way of thinking for you, but I want you to obey.  Start running all your assumptions by Me, instead of blindly believing everything you think.

Not leaning on your own mind, but asking Me for My Perspective, instead, needs to become an everyday, moment-by-moment lifestyle to you. When you allow Me to exchange your perspective for My own, you will hear the Truth about yourself, about your mother, father, and all those around you…and about Me.  Instead of hearing “I am not good enough.  I am not accepted.  I am rejected,” you will hear, “You are a beloved child.  You are accepted.  You are precious to Me.” When your mind is controlled by My Spirit, instead of by your own perturbing perceptions, your daily paths will become straight.

How would YOU like to start living a new way, this year? Do you want your crooked paths to become straight? Then, this message is for you. You can start today. Which perturbing perception in your mind are you willing to submit to God, even now, in exchange for HIS Perspective?

Do this, every day. Keep taking YOUR perturbing perceptions to Him, in faith, and ask Him for HIS Perspective, instead. Then, one perception at a time, your whole life will change…and your crooked paths will become straight.

PRAYER: Father, I bring You my perturbing perceptions, today. Show me the Truth. Show me Your Perspective, so my crooked paths may become straight…even today.

Truth comes to us when we speak to God…and when God speaks to us.

When You Do Not Feel Loved

Posted by

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

We need to acknowledge that we cannot free our spirits, souls, and bodies from the entanglement of the OLD MAN’s rebellious will. But, with our free will, we can choose to go to the Person who can—the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to live HIS NEW MAN Life in us, in the place of the OLD MAN.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

He Broke Away Your Chains

Precious One, listen to My Words. The enemy, the father-of-lies, would like to convince you that you are no good: that you are despicable…loathsome…strange.  Then, after he deems you unaccepted and unacceptable, he urges you to WORK and STRIVE for your acceptance.  When you find out that your striving is not bringing any results, he urges you to WORK HARDER.  But no matter how hard you strive, you will never be able to work yourself into wholeness, this way.

LONG BEFORE HE LAID DOWN EARTH’S FOUNDATIONS, HE HAD US IN MIND, HAD SETTLED ON US AS THE FOCUS OF HIS LOVE, TO BE MADE WHOLE AND HOLY BY HIS LOVE
(Ephesians 1:4 MSG).

I, the Lord your God, want you to know that you are not despicable. You are not loathsome. You are not strange. On the contrary, you are the focus of My Love. I made you for Myself. I delight in you. But, you will never know or believe these words, unless you come and sit awhile with Me and allow Me to tell you, personally, how much I love you.

HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF DARKNESS AND THE DEEPEST GLOOM AND BROKE AWAY THEIR CHAINS (Psalm 107:14).

Child, give up trying to WORK and STRIVE your way into wholeness…into OK-ness…into an accepted heart.  Instead, come and sit quietly at the feet of My Son, Jesus, and share your heart with Him. Tell Him how you feel. Ask Him for His help. When you sit in darkness, His Love will become a Light to you to show you My Righteousness—to guide you out of the deep gloom of non-acceptance into the way of Acceptance and Wholeness. During your fellowship with Him, He will break away your chains.

DO NOT REJOICE OVER ME, MY ENEMY; WHEN I FALL, I WILL ARISE; WHEN I SIT IN DARKNESS, THE LORD WILL BE A LIGHT TO ME…HE WILL BRING ME FORTH TO THE LIGHT; I WILL SEE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
(Micah 7:8-9).

Listen to your heart, and find the very first childhood incident that caused you to feel despicable…loathsome…strange. Then, lay that incident, with its feelings and beliefs, before the Lord Jesus, asking Him to break away the chains these beliefs of non-acceptance caused in your personality.

PRAYER: Lord God, lead me into wholeness.  Bring me out of the dark beliefs of non-acceptance that deem me loathsome, despicable, and strange.  Break away my chains, as I stop striving to fix my dark accusatory beliefs of non-acceptance by myself. Hallowed be Your Name!

We need to make sure that we expect Truth from the Spirit of Truth, who goes out from the Perfect Father, and not try to come up with our own counterfeit truth by logically trying to reason things out for ourselves.

Get out of the Pit

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

Precious Child, on this particular day of today, I want you to know how much I love you. I know how much you struggle with your Self—with the oppressing beliefs in your heart that deem you unwanted, unimportant, and unworthy. Because I know that you have an enemy—the father-of-lies—I sent My Spirit into your heart, so I may be part of you. I sent Him, so you would possess My Wisdom—My Redemption, My Righteousness, and My Holiness—to redeem you from the father-of-lies’ oppressing beliefs of being unwanted, unimportant, and unworthy.

IT IS BECAUSE OF HIM THAT YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO HAS BECOME FOR US WISDOM FROM GOD—THAT IS, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS AND REDEMPTION
(1 Corinthians 1:30).

But in order for you to receive Me and My Wisdom, you need to let go of your Self and your wisdom, first: the righteousness, holiness, and redemption you have fabricated in order to save yourself from feeling unwanted, unimportant, and unworthy.  You need to stop pretending that everything is OK, when it is not, stop running to distraction and destruction to make yourself feel better, and stop blaming others for your own heart’s pain.

PRAISE THE LORD, MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS—WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR SINS AND HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES, WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT AND CROWNS YOU WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION, WHO SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES WITH GOOD THINGS SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S
(Psalm 103:2-5).

Come to Me, Child. Let Me be part of you. Receive what I have for you through the Spirit of My Son. Let Me forgive your sins. Let Me redeem your life from the pit into which you have fallen, and heal the diseases that formed in your body while you were lying in that pit, broken and defeated. Allow Me to crown you with the Love and Compassion that you have been looking for, all your life. Let me satisfy your desires with good things. Then, you will soar like the eagles.

Engage with your heart, and find the wisdom you have fabricated to redeem yourself from feeling unwanted, unworthy, and unloved. Then, invite the Spirit of God’s Son, Jesus, to come into your heart to be part of you and to shower you with His Benefits.

PRAYER: Lord God, how encouraged I am that You care about me—that You came to be with me and in me. May I learn to live from Your Spirit…to be with You…to receive Your Wisdom, Your Holiness, Your Redemption, and Your Righteousness, every day, moment-by-moment.

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.

Maintain an Awareness

Therefore, do not despair of the evil done against you: the insincerity…the depravity…the immorality.  They might have meant evil against you; BUT GOD will cancel the effects of any evil done against you, in the past, in the present, and in the future, if you submit to His discipline.

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!
