Are you truly Mine?
Many ask Me to lead them but they do not follow. Many ask Me to teach them but they do not want the lesson. Many ask to hear My Voice but they do not listen. Many ask Me to show them My will but they do not obey. Faith without works is dead. Test yourself. Are you truly Mine? Many are deceived. Leave your attachments and your desires behind and follow Me with all your heart.
- Matt 16:24-25 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
- John 8:12 12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I Proved it on the Cross
Roses are a symbol of love. When a man gives a woman roses she knows the message. But if that same man then leaves his house, business, friends, and financial investments to travel to where the woman is held a prisoner and gives his life to set her free then His symbol has power. It is no longer just a symbol. It is a Truth.
A student can gain a high grade but the mark is only a powerless symbol until the student applies the knowledge to a job and succeeds. Then the symbol of the grade has power. It is truth.
My existence, Love for you, and desire for you is not only in Words on a page but in real Truth and Power. I Am here for you. I proved it when I was on the cross. I prove it now as I rescue you, court you, heal you, and speak to you. Come close and know the power of My Love behind the symbols.
- John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

- Romans 5:8 but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
1-3
Come closer to Me
To know Me is to know My power. I Am power because I Am Love. You cannot know Love from a distance any more than you can know a gourmet meal from a distance. You must come close, very close. Use your desire to come close to Me. I promise that when you draw near to Me I will draw near to you. Know that I Am highly motivated to be close to you. I want closeness with you.
- James 4:8 Come near to God and He will come near to you.
1-4
I will be found by you
I will not hide Myself from those who truly seek Me. I only veil Myself from those who seek from an impure heart. . . for selfish gain. Seek Me to know Me. Seek Me in humility. Seek Me in simple desire to be with Me. I will be found by you.
- Jeremiah 29:13 When you look for Me with all your heart, you will find Me.
- Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love Me, and those who seek Me diligently find Me.

Leave your cares behind
Come to Me. You are weary. Lay your head on My chest. Yes, on earth your head may be on your bed or chair but your real head, your spirit, is on My chest. Relax and you will feel the support of My chest of Love for you. Relax more and you will feel the weariness leave you as if it were draining through your pores. Relax more and you will feel My Love replacing the weariness. Relax your thoughts and you will feel My peace bringing stillness like the wind leaving the surface of a lake.
Now all is still and quiet. Now all is well with your soul. Wait. Linger here, on My chest. Leave cares behind. Soak in My Love. Now your strength is being renewed. Now hope is returning. Now you know the Source of your life like your phone knows its’ charger. Linger. Wait. Enjoy. I love you!

I walked in your shoes

Calm yourself and listen
Calm your whirling emotions and mind. Rest and relax with Me. We will talk later. First be still with Me. In the stillness of My peace I will restore your soul. Then you can hear My Voice of Wisdom.

1-9
Only I can change you
Do not despise the times of suffering. I use suffering to make you beautiful. When you bow and accept the suffering My peace, humility, and patience become dominant over self defense, self love, and pride. Accept the trials as gifts from above. Cooperate with the tools of the sculptor by desiring the change they bring.
- Hebrews 5:8 Even though Jesus was God’s Son, He learned obedience from the things He suffered.
1-10
Do not fight against suffering.
Accept everything from My Hand knowing that I Am making you perfect and beautiful. During the pain of the suffering simply lie still before Me in humble submission and relax. Wait while I teach, change, and then heal you. Rest and relax in My Love during the pain. Do not give in to fear. My work is necessary and perfect. Trust My Love for you. Be still and wait quietly.
- Ephesians 5:27 He did this to present her to Himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
- James 1:1-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

1-11
Do not despise the times of suffering
When you submissively accept trials, pain, and suffering from My Good Hand, then not one second you endure will be in vain or wasted. I will use it all. I Am the Suffering Servant and the Wounded Healer. I know how to make good use of pain. Submit and patiently trust Me. Do not seek escape. Accept it all as a good medicine for your soul. Wait, relax, and trust Me. Be silent and still in My Arms. You will see what I can do. Peace comes with acceptance and submission to My will.
- 1 Peter 2:6-7 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

1-12
Not one second will be in vain
You cannot change yourself. You can only desire to be changed. Do not be upset when you see more of your fleshly ways and thoughts. Wait and trust Me to change you. Desire purity and holiness. Then wait while I bring it. Trust Me. You cannot change yourself.
- 1 Peter 5:10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

- James 4:10 Then when you realize your worthlessness (humble yourself).before the Lord, He will lift you up, encourage and help you (honor you).
THE PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING
1-14
Refined in My light of Truth
The closer you walk toward Light the more clear Truth becomes. you have more Light now than before. With this Light you now see yourself as in a mirror. When there is both Light and a mirror you see imperfections that were hidden when there was less Light. Do not be discouraged.
- Luke 11:34-36 Your eye is the lamp of your body. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.
1-15
I Loved you before and I Love you now.
Leave the faults of flesh to Me. I Am changing you Do not lose your trust in Me through discouragement. I Am your Father and I only see what you will soon be . . . perfect, bright shining and all Mine.
- 1 John 1:7 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1-16
Your real home

1-17
The True Prince of Peace
I Am your Prince of Peace. I have command over peace. I can release peace deep within you. No other being commands real peace. No one has real peace unless I give it to them. There are forms of artificial peace but true peace only comes from Me.
- Luke 10:19 Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.
1-18
Come to Me, your Prince of Peace
My people can immediately recognize the difference between real and artificial peace. All substitutes are temporary, unsatisfying, deceiving and even dangerous. Run from artificial peace. It only causes harm. Come to Me, your Prince of Peace. I love to flood you with My Real Peace!
- John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
1-19
Stress, fear, tension, and anger are contagious

- 2 John 1:3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love
1-20
My Peace is contagious
Just as anxiety and tension are contagious, so is My Peace. Remain calm and quiet. I will help you bring My Peace into the room. Focus on Me . . . not the tense one. Overlook harshness. I Am the Truth. Tormented souls do not see Truth. Do not take everything they say to heart. Speak My Peace to the empty room. When people arrive who are tormented, speak these words silently within your spirit, “The Peace of Jesus I give to you, “you will see a miracle. I am the Prince and I give you authority to give My Peace to others.
- Ephesians 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1-21
Comfort is not required or necessary
When you are with those who are oppressive, angry, and stressful, understand that it is not necessary for you to be comfortable. It is only necessary for you to endure with quiet patience. Persevering patience is success. Comfort is not required or necessary. Do not expect to be comfortable while bearing the sin of another. Expect My help with patient endurance and peace. Afterward I will always heal and restore you from the experience. Depend on Me.
- 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God …
1-22
Lower your expectations
People around you who do not live in intimacy with Me feel they are in constant danger. They are afraid of the future while constantly remembering the pain of the past. They fear the opinions of others. They dread not having their desires met. They build dreams and fear they will not come true. They fear losing their idols. They fear losing their minds. They fear the unknown. They fear you and they fear Me. They all suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
Therefore lower your expectations and raise your compassion toward them. Ask Holy Spirit to soften your heart toward them. You who know My Love and enjoy My Peace cannot be like-minded with those who do not. Stop trying. Serve them in compassion and patience. Lower your expectations.
- Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans strive after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.…
- Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience
1-23
Blaring sirens
Stop expecting those around you to understand how you feel. How can one who is in the fight for his life, reputation, desires, and future stop and consider anyone else and how they feel? They cannot. Those who do not have intimacy with Me are in constant defense of themselves. They feel they must fight or lose.
- Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
- Isaiah 41:13-14 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. Do not be afraid, for I myself will help you,’ declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
1-24
Blaring Sirens or Still and Quiet
Do not seek fulfillment by being understood by anyone but Me. Only I know your thoughts and spirit. Come to Me. Talk to Me. Be still and quiet while I direct your thoughts into the Truth of My Love. Have compassion and patience with others as you know you once were as they are. Serve them. Bring them peace and comfort by remaining within My Peace and comfort. One loud siren blaring, disrupts the household. Two loud sirens blaring, disrupt the community. Be still, quiet and with Me.
- Matthew 10:11-13 “And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city. As you enter the house, give it your greeting. “If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.…
1-25
Revealing truth to a tormented mind
Remember, the enemy will take your words, twist them to mean something negative, and insert them into the mind of a tormented listener. He cannot receive Truth through a cloud of fear, anger, self-defense, or desires. Therefore speak very little. Be calm and quiet. Ask Me to reveal Truth to him. You cannot reveal Truth to a captive. Only I can. Ask Me. I will do it. Be patient.
- John 17:2-3 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, 2even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.…
FIGHT TO BE WITH ME
1-26
I only share My secrets with My friends
I will share My mysteries with you because are are My trusted friend. I only share My secrets with My friends. I call you My friend.
- Matthew 13:11-12 Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. “For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.…
- 1 John 2:26-27 These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
1-27
Will you fight for Me?
Will you fight for me? Will you fight against everything that pulls you away.
- John 15:7, 16 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
1-28
The answer is resting in Me
Resting in Me is the answer. When you rest in Me you lean completely on Me. You throw all the weight of your cares and concerns upon Me. You wait in peace on Me. You cease from striving or pushing when you rest in Me. You do not strain to see the future when you rest in Me. You do not relive the past when you rest in Me. You are not analyzing information when you rest in Me. You are not churning in turmoil over the actions and words of others when you rest in Me. Do you not see that resting in Me is the answer? Now come, relax, be still and silent. Lay your head down and rest in Me. Quiet your soul and enter into My rest. I Am the Lord your God. I give you rest.
- Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. “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.
1-29
I notice every sacrifice you make
Not one minute of your pain while on the altar of voluntary sacrifice for others will be wasted. I promise to use it all . . . for them, for you and as a sweet smelling fragrance of your Love for Me. I notice every sacrifice you make for the difficult ones. You are becoming more and more like Me. I Love you!
- Ephesians 5: 1-2 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
HOW DO I REALLY FEEL ABOUT YOU?
1-30
I Am the Good Shepherd . . . Do not be afraid!
I Am taking care of you. Do not be afraid. I Am a very good Shepherd. I know how to protect you.
- Psalm 91 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.
- Psalm 121 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
1-31
You are forgiven–No looking back!
I forgive you. I promise I forgive you. Soak in the fact that I forgive you. Now, let’s move forward and not look back. I Am happy we are together. We have only joyful togetherness now. I Love you!
- Isaiah 54:9-10 For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you Nor will I rebuke you. 10“For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,” Says the LORD who has compassion on you.
