• Song of Solomon 2:10 My lover said to me, “Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one!

2-2

• Proverbs 30:33 As the beating of cream yields butter and striking the nose causes bleeding, so stirring up anger causes quarrels.

• Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.

• 1 Peter 5:8  Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

2-3
Interior life (3 of 4)
Remember We are working. See how the Earth rotates and revolves creating constant change .. . change that leads to the goal of the culmination and Great Gathering.

• John 14 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”

• Psalm 42:5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and God

• Psalm 62:5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.

• Psalm 65:5 You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas.

Love, the opposite of sin
An unclean thought process. . .“Love is the opposite of sin. Think of a sin . . . any sin. The opposite is love.”

•  Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

• Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

2-6
No self-love  in True Love
How about porn?  “The opposite is to Love Me. When you love Me, you want Me . . . which means you want to identify with Me and be with Me. There is no darkness or self-love in Me.  Love Me and you will feel My Love fulfill you.”

• Colossians 3:2-5 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

2-7
Venting? . . . Love overlooks their sin
How about giving a bad report during “venting?” “ Love others. When you Love them you overlook and cover their sin.”

• Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

2-8
Love Me, minister to others . . . this overcomes pride
How about pride?  “Love Me and others. When you love Me and others, you want glory to go to Me and encouragement (credit). to go to others. When you love yourself, you have pride. Only Love Me and have a ministering love toward others. Love is the opposite of sin. Use it as a preventative measure. Evaluate your Love toward each person I give to you. Soak in My Love, so like the moon reflects the sun, you reflect Love back to Me.”

• 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

• James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.

• 1 John 1:9 Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 10Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.

2-9
Accept injustice like bad weather . . . bring an umbrella of patience
When people mistreat you in any way, do not be surprised. Do not let injustice or selfishness seem strange or shocking to you. Accept trials as you would the weather. Remember where you are temporarily living. Those who live at the beach expect the occasional hurricane. Those in the Mid-West expect tornadoes. In winter you expect ice storms. Why get emotional? Trials come. You do not feel that there is unfairness when the weather is difficult. It is a product of location and timing.

The trials of the sin of others are no different. Do not think “injustice,” “I don’t deserve this.” Think of it as a part of life in this location at this time. Remain at a peacefully patient state as if it was a trial of weather. Who gets mad at hail? Who feels sorry for themselves when it is 100 degrees outside? Why are you upset at the effects of the curse within others? Think of sin in others like the weather. Be prepared for rough going every day. Bring an umbrella of patience. Cling to Our shelter as a part of daily life. Be surprised at a day without injustice. It is like sun in Seattle.

• John 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master ‘ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

• Revelation 2:10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

2-10
I Am more faithful to you than a skyscraper bound by gravity
Would you ever put your hand on the corner of a huge brick, cement, and steel building and ask it, “Will you be faithful to remain here in this place?” Am I not more bound to you by My unbreakable covenant of Love than that building is to the ground?

I chose to confine Myself to a covenant of Love for you forever. . . in that way I am limited by My covenant of Love for you, just like the building is bound to the ground by gravity. The building is beyond faithful to that spot. It is fixed to that place. So I Am beyond faithful within, around, and to you. I Am fixed to you forever. Look at the massive building and remember My fixation on you.

• Psalms 119:90  Your  faithfulness endures to all generations;  you have established the earth, and it  stands fast.

• Lamentations 3:22-23 The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.2 Timothy 2:13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

2-11
You are gentle with a child . . . We are gentle with you
Do not be discouraged. We know the 24/7 fight against the flesh. We do not condemn you, like a mother would not condemn her little one as she sways and falls over and over when learning to walk. We clean your clothes every time you come to Us. We will hold you and teach you. You are gentle with a child. We are gentle with you.

• Jeremiah 29:11-12  For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 12’Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.…

2-12
Do not grow weary. . . press on
Be patient and press on, forgetting yesterday’s struggles. Remain in the present with Us. You have a great cloud of witnesses who have run the race and understand the pressures. They are cheering you on. Do not grow weary. Lean on Us. You can do nothing without Us, but with Us . . . no limits . . . you can even fight the tempter with Our help. Keep coming to Us in rest and peace.

• Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

• 2 Timothy 2:1You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well. 3Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him. 5Likewise, a contender does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules. 6The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.

2-13
Do not be emotional.
Do not be emotional. You can’t hear Us well when you are emotional. Be in a state of subdued, humble rest. Peace will return. We will wash you, teach you, and restore your joy.

• 2 Corinthians 10:5We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

• Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no Law.24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.

• Psalm 131:2 “My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.”

2-14
Change hearts, not governments
Just as what is in the heart of a person will come out of his mouth, what is in the heart of a nation will come out through the government. Therefore, invest in bringing My kingdom to hearts rather than changing a government. Trying to change a government is like trying to hold water in your hand . . . you may hold a little, but most will leak out.

• Psalms 23:7 or as he thinks in his heart, so is he [in behavior—one who manipulates].
  He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost].

• Psalm 22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD’S And He rules over the nations.

• Isaiah 49:6 He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

2-15
I Am your family . . . I Am your Real Mother
I am your Family. I am your Mother, Father, Brother, Sister. I meet needs within the depths of you that your earth mother did not even know existed. Come to Me, even if you cannot identify your need. I will show you what real mothering is like. I will feed you, teach you, comfort you, understand you, and give you gentle caresses like no earthly mother even dreamed of. I Am your Real Mother.

• Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.…

• Psalm 103: 13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.…

2-16
Everything I put on your plate is Good
I give you fullness of life . . . a full plate that contains food of all types . . . some sweet, some salty . . . some sour, some bitter. All My food is good if received with thanksgiving. Even the bitter and sour foods have their purpose for you. How can you have compassion on those who have eaten a lot of unsavory food, if you have only eaten sweet? How will you know peace and submission and contentment in all circumstances, if you have only eaten pleasant food? How will you learn long-suffering and trust, if you have only had dessert? Unsavory food can be purifying, if eaten with thanksgiving and trust and acceptance. I bring all good gifts to the table. My ways are not your ways. Taste all I bring and you will see in the end that I Am Good.

I Love you! We eat together.

• Deuteronomy 32:4 “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.”

• James 1:1-17 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,  To the twelve tribes in the 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. . .

• Phil 4-11   . . . 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. . .

• Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

• Ex.18:8 8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.

• Job 42:17  And Job died, an old man, and full of days.  (full of days = ate a full plate of all the types of food).

2-17
I Am your daily bread
“Give us this day our daily bread. . . I Am the Bread of Life.” What is Bread and what is Life? Bread is food that causes flesh to grow. My Bread is food that causes your spirit to grow. As you grow, you receive more Life. What is Life? It is the opposite of death, which is separation from Me. Therefore, Life is union with Me. Eat Me, My Bread of My Presence, My Love, My Voice every day, over and over. How do you “eat Me?”  When you eat physical bread, you taste or experience it. Taste Me. Experience Me. Experience Me is to know Me in intimacy. When you physically eat, you take inside you and  experience intimately the bread.

• John 6:35 Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

• Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

• Philippians 3:8 . . . I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish . .

2-18
Eat of Me daily in Our secret place
Stop the distractions and come experience Me. Take Me in. Taste Me and see that I Am good. Your spirit will grow at the rate that you take me in or feed on Me. Our union will grow at the rate that your spirit grows. Consequently you will have more Life . . . abundant Life . . .  at the same rate of your feeding on Me . . .  eat Me . . . “eat My flesh, drink My Blood” . . .  “to him who has, more will be given” . . .  “seek  and you will find.” You must come to the table daily to “sup with Me” and eat My daily Bread.

• James 4:8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. 

• Hebrews 11:6 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

• 2 Chronicles 16:9  For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.

• Philippians 3:8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

• 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

2-19
Determine to know only Life with Us, and let all else die
Negative thoughts, opinions, and bad memories have no Life in them. Remember that Life means union with Us. Those things have no basis in Us and cannot be a part of Us. Therefore dark thoughts, bad memories, self opinions, all are a part of dying flesh. “Why do you look for the Living among the dead?” Do not hold on to those dead things, but renew your mind with what is Alive which is Our Presence and Our Truth . . . Our Words, your experiences with Us. Determine to know only Life with Us, and let all else die. Then you will be renewed, living Life more abundantly. Let the dead thoughts be buried with dead things, as they are all perishing. Examine all that goes through the mind and turn away from death. Then you will walk in newness of Life . . . union with Us.

• Hebrews 12:1-2 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.…

• Ephesians 4:22-23 22You were taught to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.…

• Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

2-20
Use My Gifts in the spiritual deserts
When you are crossing a spiritual desert and I seem far away, use the gift of speaking to Me in the Spirit. This is Paul’s secret. He crossed many spiritual deserts. This is why he said he was grateful to speak in tongues and had to use this tool more than everyone else. The other tool to use is the tool of waiting on Me in peace. While you wait, clean house. Do not allow yourself to be discouraged. Bind doubt and oppression, and loose trust and Truth. Speak in tongues and loose peace. Wait. Remember I was raised in Nazareth, the place of dark unbelief in Israel. I know oppression. Use the tools. Use the music of Presence. I Am yours and you are Mine. Together forever.

• 1 Corinthians 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

• Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.

• Psalm 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us.

• Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

2-21
Do not panic when you fall into a “pit.” I Am here.
When you fall into a “hole” or “pit,” do not panic. Remain calm. If you panic, you will hold the door open for attacks. Keep the door closed by remaining calm and wait. I Am there. I will deliver you in My timing. Sing songs of praise, thanks, and peace. Quietly serve and follow the duties I gave you. Do all as for Me. Guard your heart by testing your spirit against the fruit of Holy Spirit.

• Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

• Psalm 131:2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

• Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

2-22
Holes have a purpose. . . Trust Me
Clean house in your spirit. Quietly love. Banish thoughts not based on My Love. Remain content. I will lift you up. I will give you rest as you wait. Even holes have a purpose. I Am the Builder of your faith. You, are the apple of My Eye.

• Philippians 4:11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.

• Psalm 27:14  Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

• 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God

2-23
Will you wait for Me to rescue you in My time?
When you are in a “hole” or dry desert, the question is not whether or not I will leave you. That is not possible. The question is whether or not you will leave Me. I Am faithful, even when you are not. My mercy and Love for you are enough to cover even your unbelief. I Love you! You cannot live in Sheol and be away from Me and My Love for you.

• Psalm 139:8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

• Matthew 5:45 For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

• Isaiah 46:4  I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

• Psalm 13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

2-24
Be a Blind Sheep . . . Follow the Good Shepherd
Do not assume anything. Will you allow Me to blindfold you and then lead you one day at a time? Will you lean on Me and not your understanding about what I Am doing? Will you stop filling in the gaps of missing information by assuming? Just trust Me to lead you and accept the blindfold.

• Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation.

• 1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,^c not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.

2-25
Blindness grows dependence
Blinders were used to keep warhorses from fear. The horses learned to trust the guidance of their master, rather than their eyes. The horses did not predict or assume. The blinders kept them from fear and pride. The humbled, dependent horses could walk through anything because they were limited in sight. Therefore, they grew in dependence.

• Psalm 121:1-2 He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber.

• Matthew 6:24 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

• Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

• Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths  straight.

2-26
Love blinders like Abraham did
Abraham submitted to My blindfold. Will you? Keep your faith high through praise and memories of My works. Rehearse My Love for you. Use My music to keep your mind occupied, rather than let it wander. Clean your spirit house. Loose faith, peace, and love. Do not peer into the future. Assume your assumptions are wrong. Be led by Me and wait. Abraham had the vision but he blindly followed the path to reach it. Quietly discipline your mind to be at peace. Love the blinders like a warhorse.

• John 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. . . 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

• Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 1 9He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
