Son, wrong choices result from concluding in your mind that I am not enough to meet your needs. You suppose that I either do not care or I simply cannot provide what you need to fill that place in your heart. Sometimes these conclusions are made at a subconscious level, but the result is the

Son, there is always a time limit to obedience. Long ago I sent 12 spies into the land of Israel to enter the Promised Land that I was preparing for them. However, 10 of those spies shrunk back from fear. I was angry with those sons and brought a judgment of death upon them for

Son, sometimes faith requires you to act to demonstrate your belief in the future promises. Such was the case when I instructed my son Jeremiah to purchase land while the Babylonian invasion and captivity was taking place. I asked him to do this as a prophetic sign of my covenant promise to the nation that

Son, knowledge without experience builds a life without passion and conviction. It is when you teach from life experience that you teach with authority. My son lived a life in communion with me which resulted in a life of experience, not just intellectual belief. My son Paul made it clear that a life in me

Son, the only way to dispel darkness and despair is to experience my glory. My light can overwhelm the darkness of despair in your life. The circumstance may not change, but your view of it will. You will live above the threatening clouds and storms that seek to drown your spirit. My Son truly came

Son, from the beginning I created my sons and daughters to glorify me through their work. The enemy tried to secularize labor and make my sons and daughters feel like spiritual second class citizens. However, I placed in every one of my children a gift designed to serve the needs of all my sons and

Son, there are consequences to giving fear a place in your life. When I told Moses to send 12 spies into Canaan, it was not to determine whether they could take the land. That had already been settled. I wanted them to go to prepare them for what they were going to receive and to

Life in my kingdom can feel like a contradiction. My son Paul was able to rejoice in the midst of many horrible and life-threatening situations. Listen to his words, son, and seek to emulate his perspective on contradictory circumstances of life. Look beyond this life and see my grace to carry you through your darkest

Son, my desire is to reveal my power and glory through each of my sons and daughters. Adversity is actually the atmosphere and forerunner to a miracle. Do you remember Moses pinned against the Red Sea? The Egyptians were on their way to kill my people. There was absolutely no way out. “Then Moses stretched

Son, affirmation from your earthly father is such a vital gift. When an earthly father fails to express words of love and validation, sons and daughters are left vulnerable to an identity crisis. Unsure of who they are, they become susceptible to allowing the world to define them through ungodly influences. I audibly affirmed my

Son, there is one thing that my Son and I find more detestable than just about anything. Do you want to know what that is? (Yes, please). Religion. I hate religion! The enemy has made people religious, instead of loving and being intimate with me. Religion puts people in bondage; relationship creates freedom to live

Son, when you abide in me, and my words abide in you, I will protect you against the enemy’s accusations. They may come to you, but I will shield you from their affect. His nature is to be an accuser of the brethren day and night (Rev 12:10). But I am your shield. The only

Son, I always have the highest good in mind for all my sons and daughters. One way I demonstrate this is by giving you my Word, spoken through my Holy Spirit personally to you. My Word is powerful. When I founded the earth, I simply spoke it into existence. Life itself resides in my Word.

Son, did you know that there’s a world economy and there is a kingdom economy? In the world’s economy people must strive, sweat and toil to receive their provisions. But in my kingdom economy provision is always the result of obedience. When my people came into the desert after their deliverance they had to trust

Son, Satan wants to keep you in slavery. His desire is to block your intimacy with me. Bondage often comes through deceptions you picked up in your early years. When arrows lodge in the heart, the infection of deceit can take root. From your damaged perspective, you begin to choose counterfeits designed by the enemy

Son, one of the most difficult things my sons and daughters struggle with is how to allow my Son’s life to flow through their natural worklife. Some walk in constant fear they are not yielding their talents to me. Others take little thought to my involvement in their daily activities. Both will keep my children

Son, sometimes my sons and daughters can get to a place in life where their heart becomes hardened and you are drawn into sins of the flesh. You have heard that I chose my son David because he was a young man who sought me with his whole heart (Acts 13:22). Even so, over time

Son, I want you to understand the power of 220. Most of your electrical systems are wired for 110 power. However, there is a spiritual 220 channel that has more power. You will find it in my words in Ephesians 2:20. Son, much of my church is being established through the offices of pastor and

Son, one of the great strategies the enemy of your soul uses is to deceive people into thinking he does not exist (1 Pet 5:8,9). He suggests that all things have a logical reason for existence and there is no higher power. Remember two things: I give enough evidence of my existence to reveal myself

All of my sons and daughters have a deep desire to be known by their earthly fathers and by me, their heavenly Father. If your earthly father fails to affirm his love for you through words and affection, you will live your entire life seeking to fill this void in inappropriate ways. For daughters, they

Son, there are two types of people when it comes to how my sons and daughters relate to me. I considered Moses my friend. I spoke to him face to face (Ex 33:11). However, the Israelites he was leading only knew my acts. They related to me from a distance. They heard of my ways

Son, receiving answers to your prayers is vital to realizing fullness of joy in your life. It renews your strength. You will not gain life from the discipline or form of prayer, but from the fruit of prayer. Discipline only creates habits and formulas, but passion and devotion result from knowing and experiencing my power

Son, many of my sons and daughters are seeking to be my representatives in their communities and cities. I am so pleased that my Son is being promoted in this way. However, let me exhort you to remind them that I came to save the world, not to condemn it. Even my own Son’s disciples

Son, I am a Father who is patient and long-suffering. However, I am also a Father who requires obedience. Once a consistent pattern of disobedience takes root, I must address it as a good father always must. This never changes my love, but it does change our relationship and may change your destiny. When my

Son, life can be hard. Over the years, recurring enemy assaults have led you to erect and reinforce walls around your heart to insulate you in hopes of protecting yourself from future hurt. This is bad for both of us. It always leads to independence from me and from those around you because you think

Son, my light always dispels darkness. If you feel you are walking in a season of darkness there is only one solution: cast yourself upon me so that I can shine light upon that darkness. I desire to do that for you. Some think they can manufacture their own light, but their efforts will always

Son, great faith pursues me to raise that which is dead to life. Do you remember the mother who had a demon-posed daughter and desired my Son to deliver her? She would not take no for an answer. That is true persevering faith. She so impressed my Son that we both were compelled to honor

Son, serving me involves two important things. Primarily, you and I must know each other as intimate friends. And second, your service must be for the purpose of building my kingdom on earth. When my Son lived on earth he had three good friends: Lazarus, Martha and Mary. Now history seems to be giving Martha

Son, I want you to know that the latter portion of your life will be better than the first part. I have confirmed this to you several times through my messengers. Like Job, you will obtain your legacy through the grief you have experienced. You have been taken through purifying fires designed to enable you

Son, you have been noticing your nation is moving farther and farther away from me. My people are losing influence in the culture for one main reason–disobedience. Losing influence is merely the fruit of more and more who choose to remove themselves from me and my ways. Idol worship, relativism and hedonism are becoming the

Son, sometimes you fail to recognize my guiding hand upon your life. Because I have not answered you the way and in the time frame you desire, you conclude that I am not active in your situation. But you need only look at the evidence to prove this is not true. For one thing, you
