Basic Response July 7

Basic Response                July 7

Remember the parable of the Prodigal Son. The one thing that truly got his attention to go back home became hunger. The one true element that brings you to Me and the Father promotes appetite for the Kingdom’s sake. Do not be filled with only earthly delights.

Prayer: Lord I pray for the hunger and yearning for the Holy Spirit’s direction.     

True Grace July 6

True Grace                July 6

When you feel life has been unfair; when you were doing all that was right and correct; when you feel you should receive justice and yet, someone else who appears unworthy with less merit, portrays more of a mess-up. . . when that person obtains the good things, do not fret. Hidden within may be the mysterious working of My Grace. Be glad in it because much Grace extends to you as well.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for reminding me that your Grace covers everyone always.

Moral Laws July 5

Moral Laws                       July 5

In the beginning, the Father made a moral universe. Jehovah God made all and you in his image. A moral universe contains universal laws ranging from survival to quality living. You do not create the moral universe. It is already there. You are to discover it. You are free to choose but not free to choose the results of your choices. They happen along with decisions the moral universe already has in place. Gravity stays one of the universal laws. Its equivalent in the moral realm is what you sow you reap, what flows in, flows out, what goes up comes down. You do possess the creativity to interfere with these laws. You must be mindful and not cause an imbalance. This holds true for every race, creed or religion. You need to find avenues of moral living and flow with them for this too shows an extension of My grace.

Prayer: Lord, help me design what I do around your moral laws.

Values July 4

Values                      July 4

True peace comes from the Father who has covered your anxiety by the Holy Spirit. True peace allows you to clarify your value system. You do not have to be stuck in the IS of the present. You may recognize what ought to happen for the kingdom’s sake. Your value displays what you hold most important. Those are the things you follow and live by.

Prayer: Help me keep priorities in line while dealing with my values.

Maturity Process July 3

Maturity Progress                     July 3

  As you have contact with Me, Jesus, I give you the gift of a maturing personality. Your growth in the kingdom remains a matter of unfolding what was in-folded, now rolled out, what was rolled up.

Prayer: Help me to postpone my own pleasure and substitute your love in its place.

Mystery of Silence              July 2

I am to tell you that the Father sometimes remains silent because: first: I am working other concerns in the kingdom of which you are still a part but cannot see the connectedness. Second: Sometimes I have to appear disconnected. This may seem like I break our link, but I’m still here. One of my servants said it was like cutting off a radio signal of a spy; it is done to protect your whereabouts. After all, you are a spy in an enemy camp, but Satan is not omniscient like the Father. The evil one only knows what you let him know. For instance, when you cry out, “Why God?” you open a potential channel and doorway for negative influence. It can be ok to doubt, but not asking “the Why” for that shows lack of faith. You must simply ask the What to do for the kingdom’s sake. Often, it means wait through the silence, however long it takes. Remember, that anything promoting a lack of faith misses the Father’s intention.

Prayer: Oh Father, I truly want to do everything by faith with you.

Jesus as Reality                      July 1

Time will pass when you do not feel My presence; when the smallest feeling of irritation, unrest or fear starts to cause disturbing thoughts. Use conscious effort to think toward My presence. If you start to complain, come back to My center. If you feel left out, come back with conscious focus to My center. Start to feel unloved; come back. Do this over and over until you easily recognize I dwell with you continually. Just as I, Jesus, have intimacy with the Father, so do you when you stop to give recognition.

Prayer: Oh Lord, bring me back to center when I start to feel at odds with everything and other people’s actions I don’t approve.
