Son, I do not give others the grace for what I have called you todo. My grace and enablement come with the particular assignment I call a son or daughter of mine to accept.Be careful not to rely too much on the counsel of others when you already know what I have called you to

Son, the heart is always my one basis for evaluation. I look past the obvious in a person’s life and see the inner truths invisible to the human eye. You can be the greatest sinner, but if you give me your heart and allow my heart to connect with yours, I will bless your life.

Son, marriage is for life. Many use the verse you cite as a reason to end their covenant. But I would have you realize that my people were often unfaithful to me. Do you remember Gomer and my son Hosea? I had my son marry her to demonstrate an important truth about my nature –

Son, you are an overcomer! I have made you to press through the recent challenges before you. You have been frustrated with what you perceive as hindrances and the slow pace toward seeing a breakthrough. In reality, these obstacles are actually making you the son and leader I want you to be. Your plodding and

Son, I want you to understand a very important spiritual truth about your role on the earth. When I sent my Son to redeem all that had been lost (Lk 19:10)–which included not only salvation for those my Son died for, but also man’s relationship to me and creation — I also entrusted him with

Son, I am your Father of provision. I always care for your needs. This does not mean you will not experience lean times. You may have to trust me for “manna” in your deserts. But it does mean that provision is rooted in obedience rather than sweat and toil (Ps 127). There will be times

Son, there have been times when arrows have pierced your heart. These arrows found entry through doors left open from times when you chose to deal with your wounds on your own. When you seek to resolve hurt and pain without me, you create an open door through which the enemy of your soul can

Son, I want to ask you a question today. What draws people to me? Do you imagine it is persuasion? Or perhaps proof of my existence? Maybe even a desire to do right? It is none of these. It is the power of my spirit alone, experienced in my sons and daughters that attract anyone

Son, you have understood well that my Church is not a building or an institution; it is a people who love and follow my ways. When I began to form my Church, I gave each person unique gifts that would be effective in building my kingdom on earth. I wanted my apostles and prophets to

True sonship means that I Father you through times where correction is needed. If I fail to do this, you will be in jeopardy of failing to fulfill all I desire for you. Without chastening you are an illegitimate son. Embrace these times, my son, so that you will become more and more like my

Son, Satan’s three greatest lies to my children are 1) that you are powerless over your circumstances, and 2) you are a victim of an unjust God, and 3) I left you here to suffer by an unjust God. However, through my Son I have delegated to my sons and daughters all authority on earth.

Son, never stop praying! It is not a onetime event. You never know what may be hindering my answer to your intercession. Remember my son Daniel? His prayers were being hindered by a principality. “Then he said to me, ‘Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand,

Be careful my son not to judge others. By doing so, you bring judgment upon yourself. When my Son spoke to the prostitute that day in the street, He did not shame her behavior. She already knew her sin. He told her to go and sin no more. Spend your time encouraging others to live

Son, you have wisely come to realize that I do not speak to all my kids in the same way. Each of my sons and daughters has been given unique gifts and ways of perceiving me. Some hear my voice through words and pictures. Some have dreams and visions. I speak to some through my

Son, I love to recount the times I have stood on behalf of my sons and daughters. Do you remember the parting of the Red Sea which allowed my people to escape to freedom? Moses and my children witnessed a great feat. But it was what I did afterwards and all through the night that

Son, I am a God of seeming contradictions. I create beauty out of ashes. I turn mourning into joy. I give you praise to defeat the spirit of despair. I transform weak and faithless men into mighty oaks of righteousness. And when my work is done in my son or daughter, my glory is revealed.

Son, do you remember when my Son told his disciples to get into the boat and sail with him to the other side of the lake? Remember the sudden fierce storm that arose? The disciples thought my Son was unaware of the storm because he was asleep, and they feared for their very lives. They

Son, the world supposes that you must be strong to be of value, but I want you to know that I most often use broken vessels. When my son Jacob wrestled with my angel, he was literally striving with me. In his early years he used control and manipulation in his relationships because he was

Son, I want you to know that I am doing a complete work in you because of the blood my Son shed for you. My covenant with you is one of love and redemption, with the assurance that I will accomplish my will in you. This is my responsibility and my promise to you. The

Son, when you were a child, your father held your hand when you crossed the road and when you stood in the ocean to keep the waves from knocking you down. He was your security, letting you know he was there and that if you lost your balance, you would not fall because his hand

Son, one of the tools you have to defeat the enemy of your soul is praise. Abandoned affection toward me and my Son actually drives back the enemy. Sometimes the very thing that you least feel like doing is the thing that will take you above the dark clouds of your circumstances. When my son

Son, there is more. More of me, more knowledge about my ways, more insights into my nature.I have muchI wish to reveal and impart to you. There is a key to receiving these things. Do you know it? Yes. You must seek me with all your heart. Inever withhold to punish you; I want you

Son, I know that waiting for the fulfillment of a vision can be difficult. It can seem like your days are a monotonous drudgery. My son Moses felt this way. Days, weeks and years in Midian made him question my existence. There were times when his vision appeared dead and he thought I had abandoned

Son, my desire for you is that whatever happens in your life, both good and bad, will be used to further the truth of my Son and our kingdom. In order for that to happen, you must see me in all of life, even when the enemy of your soul wins momentary battles. He may

You know son, sometimes I ask my sons and daughters to do things that seem extreme and foolish. I told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. I told my son Joshua to walk around Jericho seven times and blow a trumpet in order for the walls to fall down. I told a man to go wash in

Son, I am the God of the improbable. I am the great contradiction to life’s circumstances. You would not expect to find water in the desert, but I am your stream in the desert. You would not expect to experience joy in the midst of sorrow, but I am your joy. You would not expect

Son, this life will have moments of great challenge that will tempt you to despair. These times are designed to bring you to the end of yourself that you may experience my grace in ways you never thought possible. I don’t always deliver my sons from the fires of adversity, but I am always there

Son, beware of negative faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). You can cause negative things to happen when you fear them, because fear is a form of faith. Son, do not allow your mind and heart to worry and fret over things that

Son, let me remind you of the God you have a personal relationship with. I am the God who made the oceans. I am the God who made the lion, the elephant and countless other unusual animals. I am the God who made the galaxies that are so far reaching you cannot begin to imagine

Son, I purchased you back from darkness by the blood of my own Son. My desire is that none should perish, but I realize not everyone will accept my invitation. Believing in my Son is the only way to eternal life. Some would question this as a narrow way for salvation. You must help them

Son, the higher you go, the more I desire you to go low. I love to bless my sons and daughters, but I will not share my glory. My Son must always be lifted up in your life in order that others will have an opportunity to know me. If my Son is lifted up
