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

Son, you are living in days when it is not enough to have knowledge about my ways; you must experience my presence and power. That power will break through the opposition of the mind. There will be no defense against my love and supernatural power. As you appropriate the fullness of who I am, others

Son, you are about to enter a season of great shaking on the earth. I am shaking all things that have a faulty foundation, including the economic systems of your world (Heb 12:27). My sons and daughters who have avoided getting into debt will have great opportunities. They will not be slave to the lender,

Son, be careful not to despise your birthright in me. Do you remember my son Esau? I had such great plans for him. However, he decided that his worldly passions were of greater value than the destiny I planned for him. I could have made him a great nation, but in a matter of a

Son, do you remember the time I sent you to Barbados to speak to that very small group of followers? You questioned whether you should take three days of your time to do this because you thought you would not be compensated adequately for your time. You were right. You were not paid what your

Son, I make even the most bitter things in life sweet. Yes, some things are very difficult in your life and tough to understand. Some of those things can be attributed to the evil one, but others come from my own pruning hand. You have learned that I only prune my choicest vines, those that

Son, the degree of the depth and width of your identification with my Son’s cross is the degree of my glory and joy you will experience. It is a kind of joy you have not known. However, when you enter this “Holy of Holies” place of communion, you will experience it with me. Few of

Son, do you recall when my son Saul disobeyed Samuel, my prophet? I had such wonderful plans for Saul. I handpicked him for the assignment of being the first king of Israel. However, over time his insecurities led him to make poor choices. At first, they were small acts of disobedience, but these acts led

Son, there is a kingdom principle you have learned that I want you to share with my sons and daughters. When you are thrust into a time of great adversity and pain, the only way to heal is to begin to focus on others. Staying focused on yourself internalizes your pain. Your healing comes as

Son, you have learned an important principle in my kingdom. Act with authority, but never reach for power. My Son had all the power of heaven behind him. But he never reached for earthly power. He humbled himself and allowed my power to work through him. As you humble yourself, I will work through you

Son, there is power in walking as one. When you join others and leverage what you each do, you multiply each of your capabilities and the anointing I have placed over your lives. My sons were about to do this at the Tower of Babel, but the motive of their heart was wrong. I had

Son, you must realize how much I desire your total trust in me. Many of my sons and daughters try to create fortresses that will insulate them from calamity in life. But you must know, and let my sons and daughters know, there is only one place that is secure in this life. That place

Son, you should know one of my characteristics is that I am a God of war. You live in a war zone. There are casualties every day. You and I are fighting for the souls of men. I lead an army of angels. I have made many of my sons warriors too. Samson was one

Son, I want you to understand that shame is a tool the enemy of your soul uses to keep you in a place of defeat. Shame wants you to believe that you are a failure because you failed. In contrast, guilt is my Holy Spirit telling you that you have done something wrong. Yes, you

Son, you are living in a day when many of my sons and daughters are being ensnared by their lusts. Few understand the nature of this trap. Some of my sons explain away their behavior as natural, but in truth it is a symptom of a much greater problem. When my Son is invited into

Son, you and I are partners in bringing about my will on earth. What you do, or do not do, matters. If you fail to stand in the gap, there ARE consequences. Do you remember when I told my son Moses to go up in battle against the Amalekites? His key to victory was whether

Son, one of the signs that will tell you that your adversity is about to end is this: When the adversity no longer matters to you, your season is almost over. This is a sign. You have become dead to your circumstances and only desire my will. This is a good place to be, my

Son, I want you to understand that life without hardship is not a sign of my blessing. In fact, it is often just the opposite; the greater the call, the greater the adversity. Such was the case for my son Paul. My, what hardship he endured for me. Never did he view this as a

Son, I made you to be in relationship with others, just as I am in relationship with my Son and the Holy Spirit. Close relationships allow you to be protected from wrong thinking and wrong decisions. These relationships are designed to complete you, not limit you. Many choose independence because of their own fear and

Son, many of the foundations I laid through sons and daughters in your country have been eroded. Disobedience began to infiltrate my children, and as it grew, the spiritual foundations were compromised. This gave the enemy a legal right to claim more territory. However, I still have a remnant who are standing for me. You

Sometimes I simply want you to stand before me rather than move. Inaction is not a sign of inactivity if I call you to wait on me. Such was the case for my son Abraham. Rather than rushing to choose for himself, he gave his nephew the choice of land when they were forced to

Son, it is true that I never violate my gift of free will. However, this does not mean I do not exert my influence on my sons and daughters to encourage them to make the right choices. The more you pray, the more influence I will bring to bear on a situation. You remember my

Son, I want you to know that there are seasons in your relationship with me. In the spring and summer of our “first love,” I revealed myself to you in often dramatic ways. My presence was undeniable in your circumstances. But after a time, I took you into autumn where I removed some things in

So many of my sons and daughters have hearts of stone. They were not born that way. Over time the enemy hardened their hearts by inflicting arrows of pain. Do you remember the wonderful story one of my sons wrote about a lion named Aslan in the land of Narnia? In the story, four of

Son, I never want you worrying about what I am doing in the life of another son or daughter. You are to live your life unto me. Some of my kids envy others, wishing for a life like someone else. But my destiny for your life is unlike anyone else’s. That is because you are

Son, do you recall my sons Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego? They were so faithful to me that they were willing to die rather than deny my presence in their lives. They made a choice in advance that I would desire for each of my kids to make. They knew before the temptation ever came what

Son, the enemy of your soul is very crafty. He often makes my sons and daughters think I afflict them with sickness to teach them some character lesson. Oh, I am so saddened that my children would ever think such a thing. I should be condemned as a child abuser if I did such a

Son, I want you to understand how destruction can enter your life at points where you open doors against my will. Do you recall the story of my sons Cain and Abel? Each made an offering to me. Abel made his offering from a heart of love, but Cain made his from a heart of

Son, I am teaching you to live in the inner court. In the olden days, I had my priests relate to me differently. They came to me through my tabernacle in three stages. First, there was the outer court, a place of public ministry to the people by my priests. This represents the place of

Evil can never thwart my purpose for you, my son. You know well the story of my son Joseph. You know that the evil one worked in his brothers to kill him, but I would not allow it. I had plans to use this calamity to turn the tables on the evil one and use
