Son, sometimes I take my sons into a time of isolation like I have done with you. It is here I turn messes into messages and develop my greatest messengers. The cave is often a place to process your pain and a place to receive a message from me for your life and for others.

Son, as a leader you will experience a level of adversity that is greater because of your role as a priest called to intercede and identify with those you are to serve. You will feel the weight of those you are to serve. You are to identify with their sin and their struggles. What would

Son, no matter what evil comes against you, I will use it for my glory and my purposes. When Pharaoh attacked my children I used him to demonstrate my power and my glory. But one thing you must learn. There is a time to wait and a time to move. Things must come into alignment

Remember this my son. Just because you may have begun well does not assure you of finishing well. Asa was one of my dear sons. So was Solomon. They began well. But, they lost their focus and allowed other things to get in the way of our relationship. This should be a sobering thought. However,

Son, it is not up to you to fulfill the purposes I have for your life. The minute you try to help me is the minute I take my hands off your life. I do need your participation, but there is a place where you hinder my work. The best way to describe how our

Son, some of my children were forced into maturity before their time. Something happened to their earthly fathers that did not allow them to protect their own children as I desired. When that happens, the enemy comes and steals their innocence like a blue jay robs a nest. The child immediately loses his knowledge that

Son, real strength comes in weakness. I know you get tired of hearing that. You feel like this is where you live most of your time. You look around and see people who appear to be happy. But you are looking at what you think you don’t have, rather than at what you do have.

Son, there is a lot of bad news going on all around you. However, my true sons will not be afraid of evil tidings because their hearts are steadfast, trusting in Me. If you live as an orphan you will respond to bad news by seeking to protect yourself and insulate yourself from any possible

Son, I created you to create. I made you in my own image. I am the great creator. My Son was a creator as well. “For by Him all things were created, through Him and for Him. And He is before all things and in Him all things consist” (Col. 1:16, 17). Work was created

Son, I have placed in every son and daughter the need to be affirmed with words. You recently noticed in your study that I very infrequently spoke audibly to my children. Moses was one of the few that I spoke to face to face (Dt. 5:4). However, on three occasions I spoke to my Son.

Son, I want you to learn from my son David. In some ways I see similarities in your life and his. David had some wounds early in his life. This was due to his being conceived in iniquity (Ps 51:5).It wasn’t his fault, but it created some issues that caused him great pain. He failed

Son, I want to explain the covenant promise I have made to you and my other sons and daughters. One thing you should know is the difference between a covenant and a contract. Covenant means I will fulfill my part no matter what you do. When I said I would never leave you nor forsake

I long so much for my kids to know my true nature and love for them. Many years ago I had become so distraught with the condition of man that I regretted ever creating him. “And the Lord was sorry He had made man and was grieved in his heart” (Gen. 6:6). You must know

Son, I want you to help my sons and daughters understand my way of bringing heaven on earth as my son prayed (Mt 6:10). Making earth more like heaven is accomplished one person at a time. When my work is done in my sons and daughters, it creates light that attracts others to it. That

Son, my kingdom operates from a different value system than the world’s. I know that you have been walking in these values for many years and I am proud of you for the changes you have made. I call men to humble themselves to be lifted up; to give, in order to receive; to die,

Son, you see your weakened condition as something bad. I see it as something good. I do hurt for you because I know it is a hard place to be in. But I do my greatest work through broken vessels. Some of my kids become victims to their plights. Others become victors. You are one

So many of my sons and daughters refuse to trust me for the impossible. They see their situation and conclude it will always be the way they see it now. I am glad you are acting differently. You have done well to stand on several of my promises. “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”

Son, you have never touched a culture-shifting power center of the adversary until now. When you attempt to bring my presence into a domain that the enemy has held for centuries, you ignite the principalities that guard that stronghold. They will react to my presence. My son Paul experienced this as well. You have done

Son, I want you to think differently about failure. In my kingdom failure does not make you a failure; it makes you experienced and prepares you for success. Some may want to define you by your failures; I do not. I allow failure because humility is a quality I value greatly. I have to work

Son, the more you love me, the more I will reveal myself to you. You doubt my activity in your life many times because you cannot reconcile the difficulties you encounter with a Father who is love. You think that because you have trials I have left you. It is true, I don’t fix everything

Well now, you have caused quite a stir down there around my idea that culture is defined by 7 cultural mountains of influence. You are learning that business, government, arts and entertainment, media, education, the family and the church are the areas where people form their beliefs and values most. You are one of the

Sin is a result of choosing something else besides me to fill a void in your heart, my son. When you feel so down that you believe you must do something to avoid the pain, this reveals that there are still places in your heart that you cannot fully entrust to me. “Come to me,

Son, I understand the depth of your pain. I understand you say you no longer have motivation for living and you want me to bring you home. I want you to know and be assured you will have the motivation to live again. There has been an assignment against your life because you are such

Son, the current trial you face is going to be used to accomplish such a beautiful work in you. No, I did not bring this upon you. The enemy has sought to sift you. But I am always one step ahead of his schemes. The greater the calamity he brings, the greater the glory I

Son, do you realize that I am your greatest cheerleader? Sometimes you beat yourself up because you fall short. Hey, no one is perfect. Only my son made the “A” plan. You and the rest of my sons and daughters must realize I make your “B” and “C” plans my “A” plan. Remember, I am

Son, I have been showing you something about my nature few ever come to realize. I am a God of covenant. When I make a covenant, I never break it. I made a covenant with Abraham that was totally dependent on me, not on Abraham. Many of my sons and daughters live based on contract.

Son, so many of my children live as tourists on my earth instead of my representatives sent to execute my will. The reason I want you to pray is so that I can fulfill my purposes. Earlier I explained to you that I require a human being to execute my will upon the earth. I

Do you remember the times your mother told you to stop crying when you were a child? “Yes, I remember a few times.” It was more than a few times. It was a lot of times. So much that it actually shut down your words. Son, you are not actually that quiet of a person.

It’s hard isn’t it, son? To love those who refuse your love and actually accuse you of the opposite. During your journey you have heard rightly, “Now you have truly felt the pain in my heart.” I have loved and loved and loved my sons and daughters. Yet, so many impugn my name, blaming me

Son, by now you know that I have been in a process of healing your heart. You did not know it needed healing until recently. The way that I heal a heart is by forcing you back to the place where your wound originated. For you, this was in childhood. I caused a crisis in

Son, it’s hard for you to believe I delight in who you are and all that you are, my son. Whatever shortcomings you may believe you have done does not reduce the extraordinary love I have for you. The evil one has planted thoughts into your head that you simply are unlovable. Nothing could be
