You are trying to imagine the heart of a Father who would send His only Son to die for the world; but you’re asking the wrong question. You will never fully understand the sacrifice We made on the cross with your natural mind, so close your eyes and listen with your spirit - not your soul.

When I sent Jesus to the world, I began with the end in mind.

You are all born with a yoke on you; it is the yoke of sin. It is a heavy burden and you were not created to pull this life on your own but, with the fall of Adam and the introduction of sin into humanity, a single yoke is what you are born into.

When I adopt you into the Kingdom of God, you are offered the opportunity to take off that yoke and put on My yoke which was created and intended for us to partner together.

Consider this your second-grade daddy-daughter conference. Spiritually and morally, you’re understanding My ways. You’re obedient in so many areas and, as you continue to mature spiritually, you will naturally mature in how you care for your body. You won’t care for your body as a second-grader forever but, if you’re bent on disobedience in this area that is not a matter of Heaven and hell, I’ll let you be disobedient and you will live with the consequences.

Jesus and I often shake our heads at the “pretty man” artists have grown to portray Him as over the years. When actors are chosen to “play the part,” they choose much better looking men as though portraying Him as entirely average would be sacrilegious. Honestly, portraying Him as physically attractive is sacrilegious and unbiblical.

Teach people to become sensitive to how I lead in THEIR lives. I will ask things of them, just as I have asked things of you. I have asked you to let go of many things because they were distracting you. Those things which are a distraction to you might not be a source of distraction to someone else.

My sword has never been a weapon of violence. Remember when Peter drew his sword in the garden and chopped off the soldier’s ear? Jesus rebuked him saying, “All who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

Jesus is called the Prince of Peace. He came to bring peace between man and God, not man and man.

People who reject God, as demonstrated by Jesus Christ being the only Way of salvation, find themselves always at war with God. People who come to Jesus in repentance find peace with God through Him.

You’re doing it again. You are gathering so much data that the idea of organizing it is overwhelming you.

Do you remember how I had you delete 7,000 pictures from your phone - four year’s worth of pictures - in one night? Remember how anxious you felt when I asked you to do it, the fit your mind threw as you did, and the peace you felt when it was over?

Looking back, do you regret it?
