DANIEL MARKOYA
I do not dwell in outward churches.
I do not dwell in any of the outward visible churches, in temples made with hands. I did not even dwell in the temple that I commanded to be built. I abolished it and raised a temple not made with human hands. A living temple. It is you I will dwell in.
I do not dwell in outward churches. These are the churches designed to be seen by men. They are built to call men to their own glory. I will not share my glory with any. My glory is to be within. My church is an inward church. My alter is your heart, soul and spirit. My communion is to be the Bread of Life, the feast of My Life and sufferings. This is the Bread the world knows not. This is the Bread only My children, My servants, yes even My friends are to feed on and be nourished by. This is the Bread of Sincerity and Truth in the inner parts. But the children of darkness will have nothing to do with it. They trample this living Bread under their feet.
As on the road to Golgotha I tripped and fell, and was helped with my cross, so now I come alongside all who carry their crosses for My Name's sake. I help carry your cross as you walk in My service, as you walk in the Light and glory of My new and living way.
Be not afraid little flock for I have determined to give you the kingdom. Its a kingdom of peace and righteousness. As you submit to My teachings, the teachings I show you in your heart, I will bring you into all Truth.
The Way is narrow and very few find it. It is a Way between Egypt and Babylon. On one side the sinful nature and on the other the religious traditions of men. I died to set men free from both. No longer to be slaves to the sinful passions that well up within them. No longer to be dominated by false religions and teachings that shut the kingdom of heaven in their faces.
It is for freedom that you are set free. No longer to be a slave to the things of this world, but to be set apart as My son for the good works I have called you to do.
You are to be a servant of the gospel. My servant and friend. One in whom I can entrust the secret things of My kingdom. These are jewels that few have ever found. I intend not only to give you a few nuggets of truth, but to bring you into all Truth, and the freedom that goes with it.
The days are evil and you need to be cloaked with righteousness and faithfulness. These are to be as a wrap around you. They guard you from the cold spirit of this present dark age.
Many have grown cold and are dead in their sins. Many have a reprobate mind, and cannot see the things of God. As you speak the living words I will give you, you will pierce their darkness and set them free to walk in the light as you are in the light, as I am the Light.
I am the Light of the world, the Light that lights all men. In Me their is no darkness at all.
In this world are many tribulations for those who will walk in the Light. My light is not of this world and is disturbing to all who are pierced by it. To some it becomes as a surgeons scalpel, yes even as a laser beam that cuts away the cancer of sin trying to over take their hearts. To others it is a terrifying Light of dread and eminent destruction. To some you will bring peace, to others you will bring terror.
Be not afraid as I send you out, I have equipped you with everything you need and I will continue to give you all that you will require, only be faithful in the little things before you daily.
I will give you what you need daily. Just as I gave the children of Israel bread in the wilderness for forty years, so now I give the Bread of Life daily as you come to my gates to receive My good food.
Be of good cheer, be at peace within the mansion of your heart, for it here that I will disclose all good things to you. It is here we will sup and have our communion.
It is My good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
It is My good pleasure to give you the kingdom. My kingdom is not of this world. It is a kingdom ruled by peace, righteousness is its walls and joy reigns within.
The world is not accustomed to My peace, all are too busy, too busy to enter into my rest. It is out of My rest that all goodness flows. Goodness flows like the river of Life in My kingdom, it's as a stream that feeds the tender plants in My garden. Righteousness too is as a stream, it flows more powerfully, it's force can overtake strong opposers.
Within My kingdom their are many enemies, enemies that must be rooted out. These are the ones who possessed the land before you crossed over the river of Life. These are the enemies that I command to be put to death within you. Just as I commanded Joshua and the children of Israel to put to death the Ammorites and the Hittites, so now I command bitterness and resentment to die within you.
The kingdom of God is within you, ,here there is to be good fruit, fruit that will last. My living waters will nourish the good Seed within you, the Tree of Life in you will produce all the good fruit I have designed it to bear. As you lean not on your own understanding, you will be equipped with My knowledge and truth. These will be your weapons. They will build within you righteousness which will lay low My enemies... your enemies within.
Let My peace and truth come up over all that is within you. They will be as a ruler and a guide, helping you not to turn to the right or to the left.
It is My kingdom of peace that I give to you this day. Walk not in your own understanding but in My peace. This will cause you much joy, joy unspeakable. My peace passes your human understanding, it is beyond the realm of this present world.
As you are seated with Me in the heavenlies I will show you great and marvelous things. Things no one in this world can know without My teaching. I am the good Teacher. My teaching leads to Life and Peace.
As you walk with Me in My kingdom I will teach you all things.
Be at peace the kingdom is yours.
I am glorified as you surrender all to Me.
I am glorified as you surrender all to Me. I wish to captivate your every thought and desire, no longer you living in your flesh but My Life manifest in your flesh. As I walked on the earth before, so I want to walk on the earth now, through you.
I took every thought captive to My Father. I did His will in everything. I surrendered all to Him.
In this world you will have many troubles, but I will deliver you from them all. It is as you rely on Me and trust in Me that you will be delivered. This is to My glory. My Name will be exalted as you are delivered.
It is in human weakness that I am made strong. It is when all boasting and pride are rendered dead, that I can manifest Myself in you. It is as the things of the flesh are put away that the things of My Spirit will blossom forth and produce the sweet nectar of Life.
Unless a seed goes into the ground and dies it can bear no fruit. The fruit I call forth has eternal Life in every bite. As you give forth freely the fruit of My Spirit, it produces Life, My Life in those you come in contact with. These are seeds of gentleness and kindness, seeds of love and peace, mercy and justice.
It is no longer to be you living, but My eternal Life in you. Come let us walk together today.
Once there was a king who had a wicked servant.
Once there was a king who had a wicked servant. The servant took advantage of the king behind his back whenever he could. He would steal choice food from his pantry and kitchen. He would sell off goods from his treasury and take lavish trips. He lived in the lap of luxury.
As time went on the servant who also was an overseer, became mean to those who where under his charge. He would take advantage of them and misuse his power for his own gain.
The king was often away on foreign journeys and did not know all that the wicked servant was doing. When the king returned to his kingdom some of his other servants complained about the harsh treatment they had received at the hand of the wicked overseer.
The king called in the overseer to give an account of his behavior. The overseer lied and made up stories to protect himself. But as the king researched the matter the wicked servant was exposed. All he had was taken away and he was banished from the kingdom into outer darkness where there is crying and bitterness forever.
There are many today who lord it over My people, who take advantage of them for their own selfish gain. I will judge them and remove them from tending My flock, and they will receive their just reward.
Those who I have called to be overseers are not to Lord it over the flock. A true overseer, sees and comes under to help and to serve, just as I came under My disciples and served them. My flock is equal in My sight, One in My body, one in My love.
There is only one body, My body fit and joined together through the harmony of My Spirit. One part is not greater than another part. Just because the eyes see, do not make them greater than the toes. The body is one, and I am the Head of My body. All instruction needs to come from Me. The toes do not say to the body, "go here or go there," because they are a part of the feet. The finger does not say, "grab this or that," because it is in its reach, no the Head says do this or do that. There is only one Head, one Leader, one Ruler in My body.
I am the good Shepherd and I lead My Flock. I am the good Overseer and Bishop of your soul and I will lead and guide you in the way that is right. You are all to be one, equal parts of My body. You are to listen for My instructions and be obedient to My commands.
I am not as a wicked servant or hireling that squanders My Fathers treasuries or mistreats His servants. I am the good Servant who serves Life to all men and grants peace and grace to all men. My Kingdom is not like the kingdoms of this world. In My Kingdom you are called to be a servant, just as I am a servant, here we can be friends and serve together. It is here My work is accomplished, not as you come up over someone but as you come under them to support and help them.
All the earth is covered with darkness.
All the earth is covered with darkness. As a blanket covers a bed, so darkness covers the earth and all are under this darkness. It is only as My Light breaks forth in human hearts that the darkness is pierced.
My Light shines from within human hearts just as My Fathers Light shone in My Heart. I am the Light of the World and the darkness cannot comprehend it. Only the children of the Light can spiritually understand.
I give wisdom and meaning to things that cannot be understood by the carnal mind. All My thoughts are spiritual and only discerned by the spirit. In Me you can come to all knowledge of things pure and holy. Outside of Me you can understand nothing that is of My Spirit.
No matter how many good thoughts a man might have they are of no value in the kingdom of God. Only My Thoughts expressed through you have value. Paul understood this when he said, "It is no longer I that lives but Christ that lives in and through Me." This is My design for those who come to Me. This is My desire, to live through you, no longer your ambitions and dreams but My purposes being lived out through your mortal body. Just as the Father and I were one, so now you and I are to be one, one in spirit, one in purpose, one in mind.
Many run ahead of My teaching. They hear a few words from Me and run off to do their own will with My words. Eternal Life, is abiding in Me and My word abiding in you, this is a moment by moment work of My Spirit in your body. I am jealous for My work in you. I will not share My purpose or glory with another. Men who run ahead of My teaching do so to be glorified, in the end they will be doomed. My glory was to do the will of My Father in every thought, action and word. Your glory is to do My will the same way.
I have gone this way before you. I know every little turn in the road. I know what it is like to be tempted, I also know what it is like to have victory over sin. My Life in you is that which brings you to victory. As you are dead to sin and alive to Me, My purposes will be fulfilled in your life. This brings Me and My Father much Glory.
As you enter into My rest you cease from your own strivings. All that is done outside of My rest is sin. Only that which is done from the pureness of My Spirit is Life and Peace. Let My Spirit dwell in you richly, be full of My Spirit and not the spirit of this age.
Enter into My gates with thanksgiving in your hearts, here there are many treasures and gifts to open and share. I am the greatest gift to you. I am to be opened that My Life be poured into you. As a clay vessel holds water, so you are to be filled with My Life, like running water constantly pouring into and running back out over the top and onto everything around it. This is how My life is to be in you, bubbling out onto all around you, bringing them the water of life that will refresh their weary souls.
Come drink of My waters and be refreshed at My Living stream.
Waiting at My Gates is sometimes a sacrifice, it costs the things that busy you.
Waiting at My Gates is sometimes a sacrifice, it costs the things that busy you. Many things vie for your time, there are many distractions in life. All these need to be sacrificed to spend time with Me alone, time in the inner sanctuary of your heart.
Be still and know that I am God. My presence in you needs to be known and followed. You are no longer to be of this world. You are now a son of My kingdom, a follower, a disciple, a servant at My call. Phillp was such as this, available to Me. (Acts 8:26-40) Few people ever get to this place of obedience. A place where every thought is subject to My command.
The distractions of life clog the spirit and try to filter out the Word of God. It is this Word that brings Life within you and to others. My Word refreshes and builds up, it tears down strongholds and makes a way for the righteous, a way of Life and Peace.
As you are yielded to My Spirit, My words will abide in You. As you come to Me daily and remain in My presence throughout your day in work, sports and whatever you do, I will remain in you, feeding you with My living words, nourishing you with My Life, My abundant Life. It is in this place that you may ask Me for anything in My Name. Here I will glorify My Father, in you and through you. This is My good pleasure, to show My power and love in you and through you. Remain in Me and I will remain in you.
Those who walk into the darkness lose sight of My presence. They do not remain in Me so I do not remain in them. When they pray they pray in the darkness and I do not answer them. I answer those who are in the Light, those who walk in the Truth and in the Day.
All good things come to those who wait on Me. Ask and you will receive. Have faith in Me and My good will, it will bring you Life, heart peace, and joyful happiness inside. This is to My glory.
There is no temptation so great that you do not have a way of escape.
There is no temptation so great that you do not have a way of escape. There are many trials, temptations and troubles that befall My children. I know what it is like to be tempted, during the days I walked on the earth, I was tempted in every way just like you. I shared in the same flesh that you have. My flesh was weak just like yours is. I had to rely on My Father by His Spirit, moment by moment to have victory over sin. This was not easy, I suffered under many of these trials and temptations. I learned obedience through the things I suffered. It is in trials and temptations that obedience is tested and purified.
Just as gold is purified by the refiners fire, so the dross in your life is brought to the surface through trials, temptations and troubles. Therefore welcome these as friends, friends to help you to have victory.
As you walk in Me, in My character and wisdom, in My love and truth, you will have victory, victory over sin. I have walked this way before you, in victory, a way of truth and light. The world cannot know this victory. All are trapped in darkness and sensual indulgence. Their spirits are not quickened by My Life. They cannot know My power inside that overcomes sin and death.
Only My children, those who own My Life and walk in the light and truth with Me, know that power to overcome, these are the ones My Father has given Me, and called to be more than overcomers with Me.
I will enable you to walk in the Light and I will grant you the power to overcome. All this is now in you, in the Seed that I have placed in you by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the Spirit that will lead you into all Truth and guide you into the paths of righteousness for My Name's sake.
There is nothing you can do to bring glory to Me. It is only as you yield to My every thought that you will be led by My Spirit, here I receive glory, here there is victory.
I am the Light of the world.
I am the Light of the world. I am the Light that lights every man, woman and child. In Me is no darkness at all. I live in unapproachable Light. It is this same Light that I have placed in all men. I am Light and I have made man in My image and likeness. My likeness is Light. My likeness is Truth. My likeness is Love, Hope and Peace.
The Light that I have placed in you is the purest Light of all. This is the Light that is to shine out of you. This is the Light that bears witness with the Light in others. As you put your Light up for others to see they will be drawn to Me. This is the testimony you have for the world, that I am Light and in Me is no darkness at all.
All goodness, grace and hope are found in Me, in the light of My presence. My Light is healing. My Light is serving and peaceful bringing Life to all who come in contact with it. This is the Light some have seen at the point of death and proclaim to others. Those who know My Light during the days of their flesh are greatly blessed, those who walk in this Light are greatly rewarded both now and evermore. This is the Light I call all of My children to walk in, no longer in the passions of their flesh but in the glorious Light that brings healing and Life.
I, Jesus am that Light, without Me you can do nothing of eternal value. All eternity is in My Light, no acts of darkness are allowed there, only those works born out of the purity of My Spirit.
Turn not to the right or to the left and lean not on your own understanding, these only lead to works conceived in darkness. All of man's religion comes out of this place. They desire to do good but are corrupted by their own natures. It is My Nature that is pure and holy, it is My Nature of Light that gives birth to My works, these are works done in spirit and in truth. All true worship is done in spirit and in truth, It's as you offer your body to Me, in spirit and in truth, that you can walk in My Light.
All who know Me know My Life. Feb 25, 1995
All who know Me know My Life. There is only one Life for you to live... Mine. Your life was purchased by My blood, you are no longer to be your own property, I am the Landlord of your body. Few know this abandonment, few ever come to a place in their lives that they give up their lives for real, this is too bad because there is much glory for those who do.
I emptied Myself of all of My carnal nature, I shared in your humanity, with all of its passions. I was tempted in all things just like you, I died daily for your sake, its a small thing for Me to ask you to live daily for My sake.
I love you greatly and so does My Father. It was His will to send Me to die on the cross, so you could be saved from this present darkness and the sins that so easily beset you, It was My good pleasure to please My Father in everything. I listened to His voice in obedience everyday just as you now need to listen to My voice in obedience everyday so you may have Life and heart peace.
All that is Mine I give to you. Not as the world gives, do I give, the world gives expecting something in return, I do not give that way and neither are you to give that way. All My gifts are free, free without expectations. My gifts and callings are freely given that you might walk in them all the days of your life. I am not as one who gives and takes back or as one who gives with atelier motives, all My gifts are free and for the asking, ask and you shall receive that My joy may be full.
I love to give, but I cannot give to those who are selfish and self-seeking. This would be to their glory and not Mine. Those who are not self-seeking receive much and this is to My glory they also are required much and this too is to My Father's and My glory.
I will not strive with man forever.
I will not strive with man forever.
It is My good pleasure to draw all men to Myself. As I am lifted up before the eyes of others, men are drawn to Me. This is not as many think; many have made crosses and steeples and signs proclaiming Me, yet they do not lift Me up in their hearts, this is where men are to see Me.
As I am lifted up in you, I rise up over all that is of this realm, I come up over all that would exalt itself above God in you. Here I have My rightful place. It is from this place that I can rule and reign in your heart through My Spirit. It is in this place that I crush the serpents head within you, this is the place of victory, you in Me and I in you.
There is a oneness that I want with you. As you yield to Me, you, your flesh, will decrease and My Spirit will increase, bringing forth My Life in you.
As a robin feeds its little ones, so daily I will feed you. The little baby birds cannot fly, yet their mother cares for them and brings them food daily, I too will bring you food daily, as you are hungry like a little bird, chirping, asking for food. All who ask receive, I am no respecter of persons, I treat all men the same.
At one time their was a separation between Jew and Gentile but I have done away with that, all is reconciled in Me. You are to be one with all who call on Me in Truth. There are many who have called on My Name that do not walk in My Truth, these you are to receive and admonish, that they might come up into My living Way. Many are trapped in the traditions of men, bound with chains of religious slavery, these you are to help free for My Names sake. Unfortunately most will remain trapped in their darkness, here there are many wild goats that buck and injure My sheep, I will repay each for their grievous deeds, nothing will escape My judgement.
Fire will test each mans work, therefore be careful how you build. As I gather My living stones together, I use workmen like you to aid in the building process. As you build with My Spirit, My kingdom is glorified, if you build out of your own strength, it will not withstand the test of My fire.
All is yours in Me, therefore nothing is to be coveted. My Spirit in you is sufficient for every task. Walk in My Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of your flesh but instead you will satisfy the longings within your heart to do My will and be a servant of the gospel. Here I will be lifted up and draw all unto Me. Here is the place of Truth where all who love Me gather.
Oh House of Christ, how many times have I outstretched My hands to you, but you would not come to Me.
Oh House of Christ, how many times have I outstretched My hands to you, but you would not come to Me. How many times have I spoke and you would not listen. Hear My words oh distant land, hear My decree you Babyolonian wasteland. I am not pleased with your deeds, I am sick and tired of your groaning and babbling. You say, "Thus says the Lord," when I have not spoken. You say "the Lord will bless you," when I have not said this.
My people are far from Me, they pay Me lip service but their hearts are far from Me, I will repay them for all their actions done in falsehood and not by My Spirit, says the Lord. I will repay each one for his deeds, deeds done both in darkness and in My Light.
Not everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord will partake of My glory in heaven, only those who walk in the Light and do the Truth by their actions and deeds. These are the ones who know Me and follow Me in Truth.
I will build My kingdom and no one shall prevail against Me in this, not the kings of this earth, nor the princes among the people, no not even the devil himself. I will build My church, those I have redeemed and purchased by My blood, those who trust Me with all of their hearts and love Me in Truth.
I will make a way for My children, a way through the wilderness if sin into the promised land of My kingdom. Here their will be peace for all who pass through My sacrifice, all who are cleansed by My blood. These are the ones who will be resurrected to glory and honor, all others will fall by the sword of My Spirit. My Word will rent them in two.
Repent all who covet darkness and refuse to come into the Light. Repent and turn from your wicked ways, you who call good evil and evil good, you who build monuments to Me but do not know Me, repent or you shall surely die in your sins. I will not strive with you forever, My time of grace is coming to an end, My time of judgement is at the door, turn to Me and I will restore you, says the Lord.
I give sleep to My beloved.
I give sleep to My beloved. I give rest to the weary and rest to those who wait on Me. It is My rest that produces peace. Peace is. It stands on its own, undisturbed, guarded by My Spirit of Truth.
Truth is the way that leads to peace, without truth in the inner place of your heart there can be no peace. Wickedness suppresses the truth, those who live in wickedness have no peace.
Many hide in shadows, afraid to come out into the light. Truth is as a plumb line that straightens the way before you, truth helps you to walk in My straight paths of righteousness, without truth you lie and do not come into the light where there is freedom and peace. Those who confess there sins become free, the Truth sets them free, I am Truth, I am Peace, I am Light. Yet people refuse to come to Me to have freedom.
Only those who walk in the straight and narrow Way I set before them will come to this place of peace. The kingdom is within you, here is where My light must shine, it must expose all the darkness in you so that you will be set free. Then peace can rule your heart and righteousness come up in you like a beautiful flowering Tree, soon to give much fruit.
There are two natures, your nature and My nature.
There are two natures, your nature and My nature. They are incompatible. My nature is a nature of peace and Life, your nature only brings forth sin and death. My nature causes goodness, your nature no matter how good you try to be only produces bad fruit. Fruit that tastes bad to the one who eats it is thrown away. My fruit is good and brings health to your inner man and to all who partake of it.
Goodness, faithfulness, kindness, self-control, these are good fruits that bring you joy and life, they also bring those around you into the presence of My Spirit, where there is healing. My good fruit brings healing and wholeness to those who eat of it.
The teaching of those who have the same spirit as the Scribes and Pharisees had, makes the spirits of those who listen sick and weak. Its like junk food feeding the soulish nature and not the spirit. My food is the Bread of Life, it nourishes the spirit not the soul. It is better than the best health food on earth, bringing nutrients to feed your spirit. All who come to eat of My Bread are filled with the living food from heaven. Those who eat of the junk food of the false ministers and pastors, poison their spirits, and live only according to their carnal natures. In Me, and Me alone is the good food of heaven.
It is for freedom that you have been set free.
It is for freedom that you have been set free. The freedom I call you to is freedom from sin and death, freedom from religious law and the traditions of men.
The law was a teacher, that showed up the inadequacies and frailties, of those who tried to follow it. It showed mans imperfection. That is why people would say then and still say now, nobody can be perfect.
In Christ the law was completed. All is summed up in Christ, things in the law and things outside of the law, all are summed up in Christ. In Christ there is freedom from the law and freedom from sin. Neither one has a hold on those who are in Christ, those who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit of God within them.
The Spirit brings freedom. He leads you into paths of righteousness. These paths are contrary to the paths of sin and death, they are contrary to the religious traditions of men as well.
The cares of this world bind people up, they become captive and enslaved and need to be set free. Those who are in Christ are free from the things that bind. Those who are free have the power to help others. Power to set people free to walk in the light.
You are to be in Christ, in the Light, free from all that would bind and hold you to the things of this earth. The cares of the world and religious law are as chains that bind, they hold you captive, only in Christ can these chains be broken, only in Christ can you be free. It is for freedom that you have been set free, stand firm in your freedom and do not let anyone or anything enslave you.
All is calm in Me.
All is calm in Me. Even in My righteous anger, I remain calm. Justice and recompense come out of My rest. It is out of My rest that I do all that I do. As you enter My rest your works cease and My work begins. Those who wait on Me find that place of rest, it is here the agitations of life cease to have power. Stress and anxiety cannot last in My rest, they are starved out. Anxious thoughts are at war within your members, at war with My peace within your spirit. As you enter My rest My peace comes up over all that is within you, it lays low all of your enemies.
Peace I give to you from the inside out. Many who are troubled look for relief outside of themselves in narcotics, alcohol and soft drugs. These only mask the problems, these only cover and veil a person, My peace brings healing. In Me there is rest for the weary, a place to stay for the stranger, a refuge for the traveler. Here in this place of rest and peace all problems find their solution. I am the answer to all your troubles, storm and plights. I am your God in Whom you can trust, in Whom you will have rest and peace.
It is from this place of rest all useful work in My kingdom occurs. Here My word of life is generated, here healing begins, here all is summed up in Me, in Christ, in you, this is to My and your glory.
Rest in Me and I will show you great and marvelous things, says the Lord, things the world cannot know, things only My disciples can learn.
I am no respecter of persons.
I am no respecter of persons. I will do for anyone the things promised in the Scriptures. All who come to Me in Truth I receive, My love , compassion, and forgiveness are free for the asking. All who ask of Me may receive.
Those who seek Me find Me, those who keep seeking , I open the treasures of heaven to. There are many things hidden in My wisdom that are only revealed to those who are diligent. Entrance into My kingdom is as simple as putting your trust and faith in Me, gaining wisdom and knowledge in the deeper things, takes a committed life. All who are committed to Me, who are diligent, who continue to ask and seek, I open these things to.
All wisdom is in Christ, all through the ages men have crafted out their own thoughts about Me, yet My wisdom is only granted to those who know Me and wait at My gates. Here is where I give out gifts daily, nuggets of Truth, gems of Light of greater value than the finest gem stones of earth.
True wisdom is hidden and veiled from the eyes of men. It is only in Christ that one can see. I am no respecter of persons, I will grant to open these mysteries to all who come in truth. Here is where the mystery starts, in Truth, truth in your inner parts. Truth frees you from bondage. Truth is the key that unlocks the gate to the path of righteouness. This is the path that is made of light, here I will walk with you in the light as I am in the light.
There is no darkness in Me, My goal is for there to be no darkness in you either. As the day goes from dawn to the brightness of the noonday sun, so the Seed of Life in you is to get brighter till the Day breaks forth in your heart. Here is the ultimate place of peace and rest basking in the sunshine of My love, free from all sin which is unrest. Few find this freedom but it is available to all, all who ask, all who seek, all who rest from their own notions and imaginations and works. In Me is rest and peace, in Me is brightness and truth, outside of Me all is darkness and gloom. The choice is yours to walk in the light or in the darkness. My grace is sufficient to help all. My truth is in all to reprove all of sin and righteousness. Do not do as so many do, suppress the truth with their wickedness, instead turn to the Light, allow My Truth to come up over everything within you, here sin is convicted and judged in your flesh and your spirit is set free within my kingdom.
In stillness there is life.
In stillness there is life. This is where My abundant life ebbs and flows. In the quietness of your soul is peace. Here there is no disturbance, no agitation. Your mind is often busied with the things of the world, troubled with many natural thoughts. These are not My thoughts. These are the thoughts that cause worry and doubt. Here is no peace in worry, no peace in doubt. My peace brings confidence to your soul. Peace flows from My Spirit through your spirit and quiets your soul. All that is from your soulish nature is evil. All that is from My Spirit is pure and holy. It is your greatest weapon against the cares of this world. Few know this place of solitude, fewer still live constantly there. This is where I wish to meet with you, daily, perpetually, a constant state of communion with Me. Here you feed on the living Bread of Life, the bread this world does not know.
In quietness and trust is your strength. Come here often be refreshed with My living waters, My living Bread, My Life, this is the food to be strengthened by.
Let not the cares of this world consume you, I have overcome the world, I will teach you to do the same.
I am the one who will bring you into all Truth, I am your Teacher and Guide, I am the Light of God that shines in your darkness, put your faith in Me, I am your Saviour and Friend. Jesus.
Perserverance wins the prize.
Perserverance wins the prize. Not all who run the race finish. There is a prize for those who are faithful, those who run to the finish line the race I have set before them. I know the course for the race you are in. I have gone this way before you. I received the victors crown and stand ready to grant all who finish the course a special crown.
Many who start on this course get weary and spiritually exhausted, they want to give up and go back to a life of ease, a life of wanton pleasure and comfort. Those who turn back are not worthy of My rewards they have their reward in full here on earth. The temporary pleasures of sin in this life cannot compare to the eternal weight of glory I have in store for those who are faithful to Me.
Sins pleasure is but for a moment and ends in the sting of death. My joy is eternal. Your righteous acts are as incense before Me and My joy in you is as precious oil both are offered on the sacrifice alter of your heart. Here faithfulness is as living sacrifice to Me, your body of sin, offered to Me that My righteousness might dwell within and faithfulness be preserved.
All those who run this race this way will be rewarded by Me on the day of judgement. Their sins having been sprinkled by My blood on the alter of their hearts and burnt by the first fire through confession and repentance. Here faith is mixed with their sacrifice and I am pleased as a garland of faithfulness comes forth to be placed around their necks. Victors, faithful servants, worthy of the prize I have for them. Those who preserve will know My rewards, those who turn back are in danger of losing not only their reward but their eternal lives as well.
Be earnest, be faithful and preserver to the end.
Discipline for the moment is not joyous but brings about the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who submit themselves to it.
Discipline for the moment is not joyous but brings about the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who submit themselves to it. All discipline from My hand is good and brings about good fruit. My discipline is like pruning bad branches on a good tree. When the bad branches and the branches that just suck out sap are cut away the tree is made stronger and bears better fruit. It too many branches are allowed to remain the fruit is poor and only good for the garbage pile.
My desire is for you to bear good fruit, fruit that is pleasant to taste, fruit that brings life to those who eat of it.
Without discipline you can bear no fruit. My discipline cuts away the evil desires, wicked thoughts and actions that drain you of My life.
I am the Vine and you are a branch in Me. You have branches as well that must vbe trimmed and kept clean that good fruit will come forth.
All of My children undergo discipline, those who do not undergo discipline are not My children. There is a pain and a suffering in discipline. This pain and suffering are small compared to the goodness it brings forth.
Discipline is like blinders on a horse. The blinders force the horse to look straight ahead and not to the right or to the left. There are many distractions in life. My discipline helps you to focus on the path I have put before you. I put spiritual blinders on My children that they look forward, to the goal that is set before them.
When you are chastised, and all of My children are chastised, be of good cheer, I am treating you as sons and daughters.
Love not the world or anything in the world, for the love of the world is from your lower nature. My nature in you longs for things above where I am seated in heavenly places. Fix your thoughts on Me, I will lead you into all Truth. Let My life and message captivate you this will set you free. I am the Way and no one comes to the Father except they come through Me. This is a narrow way that few find. Many come to the door but few pass through. As each one comes to the door they are full of briers and cannot pass through. These are the wild branches that must be cut off to fit through. Unless you are willing to give all to follow Me you cannot be My disciple. This will cost all of your excess baggage, all of the wirey branches, all of your past life. When this occurs, and it surly will to all who follow Me, My Life is manifest and good fruit comes forth.
Sin is in your flesh, you inherited it.
Sin is in your flesh, you inherited it. Since Adam and Eve all have had the same flesh. It stirs within your members, it arouses you, it leads you astray. Sin is deceitful and cunning it tries to blind you from righteousness.
When first tempted sin rises in you, then your two natures meet, in the valley of decision. Your fleshly, carnal lower nature and the divine nature I have birthed in you, a battle of will and spirit. The crossing point between light and darkness, between good and evil, heaven and hell.
Sin is deceitful above all things. Its drawing poser is great but not as great as My saving and staying power.
My grace is more powerful than sin. My grace is shown to people who are still immersed in sin. I call people out of sin and into life. Sins wages are death, My free grace offers life and peace.
All who receive My grace are quickened to life and godliness. They are born again to newness, the newness of My nature within them. My life within. This is the new hope. The good Seed germinated in you. Christ in you the hope of glory. No longer a slave to sin, no longer blinded by deceit but set free by My Truth in your inner most parts.
It is for freedom that I set you free, no longer to be a slave to sin. There is no temptation so great that you cannot escape. I will always make a way for you to escape. This is the new and living way you are to walk in. The free way, the way of life in Christ. Walk this day in your freedom.
You are called as a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart for Me.
You are called as a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart for Me. I have called you, I have chosen you to bear fruit. Fruit that will last, fruit that has eternal value, a food fit for kings.
You are as kings and queens sitting at a great banqueting table. Here I put before you my food. The choicest lamb, My flesh, to strengthen your body in Me. The bread of life to give you substance in me. The oil of joy to encourage you on the way. The good fruit of the tree of life to bring spiritual health to your weary bones. The wine of my sufferings in which we are made one. This is the table I set before you and all those with me. My food is spiritual food, food the world knows not of. My food is living and active bringing spiritual health to those who partake of it. My food has eternal power. All who eat of it never die. Royal food for royal people.
My kingdom is not of this world therefore my food is not of this world. This banquet is found in me. All who come to me receive this living food. At first there is spiritual milk, then baby food, eventually full course meals. Be strengthened by my food daily. Grow in me. Enjoy the good food I put before you it strengthens you to do the work I have called you to.
Those who try to do spiritual work without having been nourished by my living food are frail and weak in spirit. There flesh takes over and their work has no eternal value. Those who wait on me and receive the good food I give become strong in my Spirit of truth and holiness. They become more than overcomers, kings and priests, victorious in battle.
There are not to be quarrels and strifes among you.
There are not to be quarrels and strifes among you. These keep you as mere infants in the faith. Jealousy is a form of pride. Quarreling stems from a pugnacious soulish nature. Strife locks you in the bondage of contention. Many people hold a portion of My truth yet walk in these things. They cannot grow beyond them.
My teaching about righteousness is beyond them. This is the next level in spiritual growth. First comes the milk then the solid food. Learning to walk in righteousness is solid spiritual food. Those who eat of righteousness are enlightened often. This is the food that brings enlightenment.
The natural state of all men is darkness. To walk in the light you need strength. My spiritual food strengthens you to be able to walk in the light and not in darkness.
Food is for the body. Your natural body needs natural food. It is essential that you feed your natural body. In my kingdom there is spiritual food, this is the food that builds up your spirit. All who eat my spiritual food and digest it are enlightened. My food was to do the will of my Father, your food is to do my will.
Rigthteousness, maintains justice, mercy and faitfulness. My righteousness is no respestor of persons and neither are you to be. Flattery is deceitful, injustice is abhorent to me, all who know truth walk in the light as I am in the light.
Do not think highly of yourself.
Do not think highly of yourself. This is a trap. Many fall because of this. I taught my disciples to beware of the leaven of the Scribes and Pharisees. The leaven is the pride of life, the boasting of what you have and do. Many religious men today are the same, they seek their own honor. They love the most important seats in the churches. They love to be called pastor. They honor themselves among themselves but their darkened hearts are far from me.
Many are their plans and schemes. They develop strategies to plant churches and win the lost, they seam eager to do what is right yet their hearts are far from me.
Woe to them who have taken the way of Cain, those who would rule over their brothers and kill their spirits. You are not to be like this. You are to all be brothers, who love one another, for I am your brother who loved you and gave myself for your benefit, the first born among many brethren.
Many profess me but do not know me, you are to know me. Many walk in religious paths but do not walk in the light with me, you are to walk in the light with me. Many kill, steal and destroy spiritually. They follow their father the devil. These are the ones who are greedy dumb dogs whose only interest are their own appetites. They gather men to themselves for their own gain. Their only interest being self preservation and promotion.
You are not to be like this. I give you my spirit of life and holiness that you might walk in the light with me. Here their is no darkness at all. All the matters of the heart are laid bare before me and all to see. Their are no shadows in my light, it is all encompassing, all is visible in me.
Those who come to me come to my light, through confession of sins, repentance from dead works, and faith in me. This is a place of reality and truth, humility and justice, joy and peace. Here all becomes still and quiet as you lay to rest all that would cause unrest in your soul.
Those who come into this rest walk as my disciples, learning from me in humility and truth. Beware of the leaven of religious men.
Troubles, trials and tribulations are a daily occurrence.
Troubles, trials and tribulations are a daily occurrence. All of my children go through these. Persecutions also are destined for those who will follow my way.
The way before you is a way of sorrows and a way of joy. Sorrow happens in your soul and joy in your spirit. As your spirit drinks from my spirit you will be strengthened and have joy, you will also have trials in your flesh and your soul. Burdens weigh down your soul. Their is a heaviness and sorrow that is deep within you. My Spirit lifts these burdens one by one.
The soul of man is weary and heavy laden. My Spirit is Light and My burden is light. As you work through your burdens one by one you will become free in your spirit. Your burdens are like links on a chain. Even though the chain has been broken you still have the clasp around your ankle and a number of links still attached. One by one I will remove these. These chains hinder your walk they get in the way and trip you up. But I will remove each and every link and the clasp as well.
As you come to Me for counsel and guidance, I will help you each step of the way. You become free as you submit to me daily, trusting in me and not your own imagination.
I will teach you the way and how to walk uprightly, no longer bound by the chains of this world. Trust me as my Spirit sets you free.
Do not forsake the gathering of yourself with other believers.
Do not forsake the gathering of yourself with other believers. In fellowship there is protection and strength. The devil likes to single out a person just like a wolf culls out a sheep from a herd. One sheep by itself is vulnerable. Even a strong sheep that can buck is subject to damage.
There are times when you do not feel my presence. Pray, seek fellowship or sleep. All of these help. By praying you release spiritual forces to your aid, through fellowship you are built up in me, sleep helps turns off the chaos of temptation.
Fellowship, true fellowship in me, brings life to your spiritual bones. It empowers you and makes you fit and ready for service.
Encourage fellowship whenever you can. Be hospitable, show kindness to all and above all love the brethren. Love is like a healing salve that covers over many wounds and hurts. Love is the true substance of fellowship. Through faith, love blossoms forth into good works that edify the saints.
Love builds itself up in love through the nurturing of the Holy Spirit. As My holiness develops in you it affects the others around you. My love affects the others around you.
True Christian fellowship is not made up of mere church services, true fellowship in me, is found as you gather in my name, for my Name's sake, as you build one another up in me by loving one another.
Fellowship in me with others often.
Righteousness is something that you learn.
Righteousness is something that you learn. No man comes with an understanding about righteousness. Righteousness is something that you are trained in. All people have a knowledge of good and evil. This is different than being righteous. In yourself, your flesh, you cannot be righteous. Righteousness is something that I impute into those that have faith in Me. It comes from Me. Through My death on the cross I have made a way for men to be righteous, not in their own works but in the works that I have prepared for them from the beginning. This is something that is only understood in Me. It take My wisdom in you to understand My righteousness and will for your life. Many people strive to know My will but what they really want is their way. My will is to flee from all that is evil and to cling to all that is good. This happens as people trust in Me with all of their hearts and lean not on their own understanding. Here is the place of faith and trust that leads men into righteousness.
There are many good works prepared for you to do. These will be accomplished as you rely on Me and not your own strength. These are the righteous acts of the saints mentioned in the scriptures. Works prepared before hand for you to walk in. This only happens as you trust and rely on Me. All other works no matter how righteous they may seem have any value.
Trust in Me and I will impute My righteousness into you and fulfill My good will for your life.
Do not forsake the gathering of yourselves together.
Do not forsake the gathering of yourselves together. Some people think this is the reason to build churches. There is only one church that I gather My people into. Those who are called and chosen find themselves next to one another. This is because I place you as a lively stone next to another lively stone in My temple that is not made with hands. My kingdom is a spiritual kingdom and I its sovereign King.
It is My desire to gather you together as a people. A people that was once not a people. These are the ones who are not to forsake the gathering of themselves together.
My kingdom is not man made. Unless I build the house it is built in vain. No matter how hard people strive to build it is in vain. All that I build I build out of a place of rest. There is no striving or anxiety in My kingdom. Therefor do not strive to put things together. Just put your faith and trust in Me and I will build My house in you and in others with you. The glory of this house is greater than the glory of any other house. Here you will gather in peace.
In peace and quietness and rest there is much strength.
In peace and quietness and rest there is much strength. This is the strength that comes from My life within you. Many born again believers are disquieted in their spirits by the cares of this world. Many have had My Seed within them trampled on by the cares of this world.
There is a place of refuge for all who know Me. It is within. I am your strength within. I am your place of refuge. My life within you will sustain you in your trials and temptations. My word of life will restore your weary soul. Come to Me daily and you will be refreshed. I am the oasis within the desert of your existence. My life springs forth living waters to quench your great thirst. Here I will feed you cakes of raisins and bread. Raisins, sweet to the taste and nourishing to your soul, and cakes of living bread to feed your spirit.
My food will sustain you. My oasis will refresh you. All who come to Me will be refreshed by My Spirit of love and truth.
All things in Me are pure and holy.
All things in Me are pure and holy. There is no corruption in Me. All that flows from Me is pure and undefiled. This is the Life that I give to you. A life that is pure and undefiled.
The world offers only corruption. Lust, greed, power, drive people in the world. Love, peace and joy lead people in My kingdom.
In Me all things are made new. I renew all things in a persons life. Where there was bitterness I build joy, where there is hatred I build kindness. All things are made new in Me.
All things are summed up in Me. Things from the past, things present and things to come, are all summed up in Me. All is reduced to Love. This is the work that I do in hearts.
It is when all that comes up out of you comes from love that My work is made complete in you. This is the goal... love. All instruction, all preaching, all workings, all service must come from love or it is useless in My kingdom.
Love is first of all pure, holy and undefiled. It is from pure love that I do all My work. Those who are immersed in My love bear good fruit. This is My work, My command, to love.
All heaven and earth are waiting for the sons of God to be revealed.
All heaven and earth are waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. These are the ones who will reign with Me on the earth and in heaven. All of existence was corrupted by the fall of Adam and Eve. My sons and daughters in Christ will restore all that has been destroyed.
I am the life-giver. It is My life in you that breathes life into others. My life is restorative. I bring healing and wholeness to broken people. My life also brings wholeness to all that is broken.
It is My life in you that creation waits to be revealed. When My life in My children is revealed all of creation will be restored to its original state. Paradise restored.
No more hatred or violence, no more corruption. No more decay or disease, no more disillusionment. All will be restored by Me through My people.
