Take the Slam Jan. 2

 

            The Holy Spirit said:                                   

        Matthew's Gospel says, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” What does it mean? You will prosper more in spirit when you can show the love of the Father and absorb the anger of others. Instead of reacting with your own anger, demonstrate the power of peace. Help others see how to fight their own anger/fear, by choosing My new love energy. Then their peace can be the result of my Spirit replacing self-will. 

.

Prayer: Lord, help me know how to take in another’s anger with the peace that comes from your Spirit.

Forgiveness Jan. 1

 

Holy Spirit Reminded:

        Any of you who follow Christ struggle with forgiveness because the self gets in the way. But because the heavenly Father forgives , you need to learn to forgive. Jesus does not ask you to forgive another’s behavior. When you start to dwell upon the actions and hurts of others have caused you, pride steps in. You will feel injustice and become angry and critical. This will not allow forgiveness. So, God asks you to avoid any false pride that does not forgive and replace it with His Son. Then, forgive the essence of others. They began like you, made in the image of the Father. So forgive them for seeing evil as so attractive. Forgive them for not knowing. Forgive because Christ forgives. Let the true Savior judge their behavior. Your task is to learn to love them and their potential, what they can become.

 

Prayer: Lord, help me to begin this New Year with the kind of forgiving attitude that most honors you.

 

Risk Dec.31

 

Holy Spirit taught:

When you read in scripture the stories of the Prodigal son, Mary and Martha, the workers of different talents, or like the occasion Jesus told Peter not to worry about John’s business of growth, there remains a strong hint at an underlying factor motivating supernatural forces within the Kingdom. Does personality strength/difference mean more in the kingdom journey? Sometimes but not really. The underlying principle for what seems inequality is the risk factor. The heavenly Father took the risk of loss for his Son. The Father withstood any loss. The Son withstood the loss. The supernatural order risks all for salvation. The right risk may show a kind of faith and often becomes the motivator for the kingdom principles. Risk means lose yourself in Christ and behave what seems to be impossible. Try to be God-risk motivated. The Father’s risks are never tricks, not game designed risk but faith-based appeals.

Prayer: Lord, help me to recognize the correct risks for the sake of the Kingdom.

 

Before Time Dec.30

 

And Jesus whispered:

All creation gives hint of the Way. I, your Savior, am the Way. No one lived before Me. I am the Way, and the Way stays all around you. When you see a child laugh, you behold the Way. When you discover a brilliant flower, you see the Way. When you see someone offer mercy, you behold the Way. I did not come to create the Kingdom. My Kingdom was already here. I came to provide a doorway through the Way to a re-established Kingdom of the heavenly Father.

Prayer: Thank you Lord, for helping us discover the true path to your kingdom existence.

Keep a moment Dec. 28

 And the Holy Spirit said:

When any day you can clear up some spiritual truth, actually means that some of that day was not wasted. I do not expect you to keep carrying the full load of life, all the time. I will help carry the load whenever you let me. You just handle the small moments of a day, and then give the entire load to Me. My accepting your burdens with you will make your burdens lighter.

Prayer: Lord, than you for sharing our burdens, even when we do not                        recognize what is really happening.

Spiritually Whole Dec.24

 

And the Holy Spirit said. . .

Spiritually prosperous are the poor in spirit because a servant’s heart helps fight temptation. Spiritually prosperous are those who hurt for the world’s hurt, for they shall receive an eternal comfort. Spiritually prosperous are the gentle for they can be trusted to inherit the earth and share its rewards because they care for others more than themselves. Spiritually strong and continually growing are those who keep following heavenly Father’s principles of Psalm 119 and Matthew 5.

Prayer: Thank you Lord, for specific guidelines to follow you more fully.

Learning Dec.23

 

Holy Spirit reminded:

Often, life may not be just free time to spend any way you want. Often life exists like a school and I remain your teacher. School means you look for and expect homework and perform your lessons as best you can. Major on being alert. Pay attention and I will show you the better ways. For instance one of today’s lessons: Simplify your life. Make a plan to get rid of the clutter.

Prayer: Lord, keep me alert to your everyday lessons and help me spend my resources on those things pleasing to you.
