First Love

“My child, what drives you? What is your main focus and what motivates you? What is the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing on your mind when you go to bed? I want to be number one in your life. Let Me take that place and I will give you the desires of your heart. Let Me be your greatest delight and you will have far more abundantly beyond all that you ask or think.”

Psalm 37:4  Ephesians 3:20

Discipline

My Child, all discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Learn from the discipline I am taking you through. Yield to Me and My ways. I have so much in store for you, but you must learn to obey Me.

Hebrews 12:11

Gifts And Talents

My child, I give you your gifts and talents. It’s when I flow through you that the anointing is present. Empty yourself so I can flow more freely. When you hold on to your own way of doing things it hinders Me from doing My best work. Let go of everything so I can use you in powerful ways. Live with your heart and hands wide open to Me. I will fill you to overflowing.

Belief Systems

My child, your belief system will determine your life. Believe in Me and My Word and you will live. But if you believe the lies of the evil one you will be miserable and be lead to destruction. Be careful what you put your mind to. Be careful what you read and who you hang out with. The enemy is a deceiver and the father of lies. I bring truth and my truth sets you free.

John 8:32

Freedom

My child, you have been washed by the Blood of My beloved Son and sin is no longer master over you. Jesus took your punishment when He died on the cross. Live in the freedom that was purchased for you. Live your life for Me. I will glorify you as you glorify Me. This is the life I have for you.

John 17:22

The Life I’ve Planned

My child, commit your works to Me and your plans will be established. Seek My plan for your life and I will bring it about. Be obedient and diligent to do what I have told you and I will bring about success. Make this the practice of your life and you will enjoy all your days. Faith and obedience. Love and joy. This is the life I have planned for you.

Proverbs 16:3
