A Reason to Rejoice All Day, Every Day

A Reason to Rejoice All Day, Every Day

Stop grumbling among yourselves....No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:43–44.

Do you understand what I have done for you and what I’m going to do? If you really understand, you will be overflowing with joy. When I healed a man who was born blind, he was so excited he couldn’t stop talking about Me. But that miracle can’t compare to what the Father and I have done for you. You were dead in sin, and yet the Father drew you to Me and gave you a new birth. Had He not drawn you to Me, you would have remained separated from Him and His kingdom forever. On top of all this, I am going to raise you from the dead. Realize that all your troubles are temporary. Child, I want you to live in a moment-by-moment awareness that what We have done for you is eternal. When you complain, you are choosing to belittle  the  Father  and  Me  and  Our  priceless  gifts  to  you.  So  stop complaining. Continually set your focus on the Father and Me and the greatness of your salvation. Choose to rejoice throughout today and every day.

Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven. Luke 10:20.

True Fulfillment Now and Forever.

True Fulfillment Now and Forever I am the bread of life.  He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. John 6:35. Look at the people around you. You will see emptiness, discouragement, and unhappiness. Listen to their words. You’ll hear them talk about things that merely entertain or bring temporary gratification. You’ll also hear talk of people who upset or anger them. Instead of seeing peace, contentment, and joy, you’ll see strife, envy, and unhappiness. And no matter what they get, they are never satisfied. Dear one, this is not the life I want for you. As my follower, you can be constantly fulfilled. If any traits of emptiness are true of your life, know that it’s because you are fasting instead of feasting on Me. Come to Me and believe in Me. Believe that I will fulfill My promises in your life. Pour my words into your mind today. But don’t just come to Me occasionally. Feast on Me and My words every day. When you are not filled with pe...

What to Do When You Are Wounded.

What to Do When You Are Wounded. But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. Matthew 5:39. My dear child, you live in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. People love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. They have become gods unto themselves, and they have no part with Me. But you need not be discouraged or dismayed, for you are with Me and you are Mine. I am the Light of the World, and because you follow Me, you need never walk in darkness. As My follower, I want you to be a light in the darkness that surrounds you. I want you to represent Me with your words of truth, but even more with your acts of righteousness, to everyone I bring into your path. Those in the world will wound you in many ways. They will speak evil to you and about you. Some will act hatefully toward you, and others will simply neglect or avoid you. But I want you to respond to their evil in the same manner that I respond...

From Death to Life.

From Death to Life I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24. Have you heard My word? Have you believed in the Father who sent Me? Do you believe what the Father has said about Me, that I am His Anointed One, His only begotten Son? Do you believe that He will give eternal life to all who look to Me and believe in Me? Are these beliefs in your heart and expressed  by  your  behavior?  Then,  child,  three  incomparable  gifts  are yours! First, you have been given eternal life. It is given by My Father and Me  to  all  who have  truly believed  in  Me.  Second,  you  have  avoided judgment. All of the Father’s wrath that should have been directed at you was instead delivered to Me on the cross. I paid the full penalty for your sin. Finally, you have passed from death to l...
