THOUGHTS

I not only know your thoughts, but I want you to know that My thoughts toward you are more than can be numbered as you go through the various trials in your life on Earth.

I did say that in the world you would have tribulation.  Then I gave these words of exhortation:  "Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world."

I have overcome every trial that you may face in your life so that you are now able to overcome with My strength.  My joy will be your strength as you face sorrowful times in life. Draw upon My strength by feeding your spirit and soul daily with the bread of My Word, and you will discover how precious are My thoughts toward you.

PSALM 139:17; JOHN 16:33 

DIVISION

John warned against the spirit of anti-Christ.  That spirit has been around ever since I was born on the Earth.  This is the wicked principality that is hovering over your country now.  When you are in prayer groups,  I want you to bind that wicked spirit and curse its fruit.

The fruit of the spirit of anti-Christ is division.  As you look at what is happening in your government, in families and in all of the culture now, you see the fruit.

I have given you the keys to the kingdom. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in the heaven.  Use those keys and after you bind that wicked spirit, loose My Holy Spirit of truth.  The plan of My adversary is to rush My timing and establish the anti-Christ person before his time.  This will not work as My church comes together and uses the weapons I have given them.

1 JOHN 2:18-23, 1:7; 4:3; MATTHEW 16:19

TRANSGRESSION

When I died on the cross I died to offer forgiveness not only for sin, but also for iniquity, and transgressions. David had a prophetic word about Me.  He knew that one day I would blot out the transgressions and purge them away.

Isaiah prophesied that as a thick cloud your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins would be forgiven and redeemed.  I was wounded for your transgressions so that you now can receive forgiveness for your transgressions, but you can also receive power to forgive others for their transgressions.

Whenever a person oversteps or rebels against and breaks My law, that person has transgressed.  One of my major commandments is that you love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another.  If a person has attempted to hurt you in some way, that person has transgressed this law.  When this happens, My will is that you cover that transgression which means do not speak of it ever again. Psalm 32:1: "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Proverbs 17:9: "He who covers a transgression seeks love; but he who repeats a matter separates very friends."

ISAIAH 53:5; JOHN 13:34; PSALM 32:1; PROVERBS 17:9

SLEEP

The disciples could not understand why I did not go to the grave of Lazarus as soon as they found out he was ill.  I told them that Lazarus was asleep and that I would go and wake him up.  Then I told them plainly that Lazarus was dead.

Sleep is so much like death.  When you go to bed, you close your eyes, pull up the covers over most of your body and lay there in your bed until the next morning.  When a person dies, his eyes close and later his body is covered. The spirits of those who believe in Me will meet Me the moment they take their last breath.

Later I will awaken the physical bodies of  all those who are dead with a trumpet sound when I return to earth. Those who believe in Me will be resurrected with new bodies.  You trust Me to keep you breathing every time you go to bed.  I give My beloved sleep, so never fear death.  

JOHN 11:11-14; PSALM 127:2

CALLING

Those who know Me are called kings,  a royal priesthood, and even a holy nation.  I know that sometimes you do not feel like a king or a priest, but that is how I see you.

When you were born again by My Spirit, you left the kingdom of darkness and you were translated into My kingdom of light. You are a joint heir with Me, and My title is King and Priest.

You are in Me and I am in you.  You are a co-laborer with Me as I prepare to rule and reign on Earth. Until I return, I want you to understand the authority that I have given you as a king and the anointing I have given you as priest.  Search My Word, and you will discover how to use that authority and how to receive that anointing daily.

1 PETER 2:9

END

The disciples were always asking Me when the end of the age would come.  I told them that when the gospel of My kingdom was preached to all nations, then the end would come.

With My Father and I there is no end to time.  We live in eternity.  It is hard for you to grasp eternity while you are on Earth because you live in a linear time zone.  My Father, and Spirit, and I live in a circle of time where there is no end.

When I said, "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, I was speaking to the churches that were on Earth. Eternity begins the moment a person is born again of My Spirit, and when a believer takes his last breath on earth, he simply enters into a more glorious eternity than he experienced on Earth. 

MATTHEW 24:14; REVELATION 21:6

CONTINUE

When the multitude continued with Me for three days, and had nothing to eat, I had compassion on them, and I blessed the loaves and fishes and they multiplied. They were all fed.

When you have had to say goodbye to a loved one on Earth, even though you will see them again when you depart Earth, your heart grieves because you miss their presence with you on Earth.

Your life continues, and the days go buy with the rhythm of routine, but My presence is with you moment by moment.  Let My compassion flow to you through My Holy Spirit, and break bread with Me as you read My Word which is your spiritual food. Worship Me and join your loved ones who have gone before as they worship Me, and you will feel near to them again.

MATTHEW 15:32
