My child, let all that you do be done in love. The only way you will be able to accomplish this is through Me. I will provide all the love you need. Come to Me and receive. Then you will be able to give out. I am love and I am in you. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Corinthians 16:14 1 Peter 4:8
What is this “domain of darkness” the Bible talks about? Is this darkness merely sin, or should it also be thought of as a state of lawlessness? Actually, sin and lawlessness are one and the same(1 John 3:4).
It’s helpful to see that sin, by its very nature, is a shunning of God’s law. The citizens of the kingdom of darkness are those who rebelliously make sin the practice of their life. They spurn what they know of God, willfully choosing the opposite of His revealed law—or at least carefully skirting it.
They live in rebellion against God. And yes, without Christ, even those who are considered to be good people fall into this category.
My child, hear My words today. Listen with the ear of a disciple. I long for you to hear Me today. I speak words of life in a world full of hate and death. I speak truth and love. Give Me your full attention today. You will hear My voice say, This is the way, walk in it.
Isaiah 30:21 Isaiah 50: 4&5
My child, I have placed you here and now for My purpose. I put you in this family at this time so you can bring Me glory. Your gender is not a mistake. I made you exactly the way I want you. I have given you gifts and talents and I give you the ability to use them. Step out in faith and do not fear. Life is to be lived. Life is an adventure when you step out and live it for My glory.
Psalm 139
My child, you will bring Me joy when you seek to know Me and love Me with your whole heart. When I become your all, you will experience My joy. I created you for this purpose. To know Me and love Me and enjoy Me forever.
My child, I want to be your greatest delight. I want to be the first One you think about in the morning and your last thought at night. I want to consume you. For when you are consumed in Me, your life will be overflowing in joy. Life was never meant to be lived apart from Me. I created you for Me. I created you for joy. When you delight yourself in Me you will find true joy. Let Me be your passion and I will satisfy your soul.
My child, I know your heart, your desires and your fears. I know your thoughts even before you think them. I care about every aspect of your life. Let Me take over where you have been trying to control. Give Me the reins of your life and I will lead you into My path. I will guide you into a purposeful life. Let go My child and trust Me.
Your Father who loves you deeply
My child, I long for an intimate, deep, personal relationship with you. My desire is for you to know Me at the deepest level. Spend time getting to know who I am and what I came to do for you. In getting to know Me, you will find yourself. You will come to know the purpose for your life, what you were created for. Let Me open up a world to you that you have only dreamed about. Let Me show you all that I have for you.
As wonderful as our salvation is, is there more to being redeemed than we are often told? I think most of us sense this very thing from time to time. Sometimes we hear about there being a lot more, and once in a while even sing about it.
But if so, just how much more is there to experience? Have you thought about what might be keeping us from finding out more about the truth of God and His ways—from emerging from that fog into deeper relationship with Him? Could it be that true intimacy with God is more than we think could ever be achieved?
Maybe we just don’t know what steps we need to take toward God. Or maybe we don’t realize who we really are in Christ—where we actually stand with Him. Maybe we don’t know what it means to be free from the power of sin!
My child, I know what is best for you and My plan is set in place. All you need to do is obey Me. You will do ‘greater works’ as you press in and walk out My plan. Lay down your own way. Take up Mine. You can trust Me with your life. I am with you every step of the way.
John 14:12
