- 2 Timothy 1:8-9 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity . . .
9-2
Don’t look at others. . . Only Me
Just as it is wrong to look into your neighbor’s window of his house, so also it is wrong to attempt to look into the window of your neighbor’s mind. Keep your thoughts on Me. I can then protect you from sin.

9-3
Real Passion = unmovable peace
Passion for Me does not look like the world’s emotional drama. Passion for Me is full of silent, quiet, unblinking trust that consists of unmovable peace. Ask Me to give you this Real, eternal passion for Me. Those who know Me are not an emotional wreck. They are like the great rocks . . . permanent and steady in their fixation and peaceful trust in Me. Be My Bride. I Love you!
- Ephesians 3:17-19 . . . so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God . . .
- Luke 6:48 Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
- 1 John 4:15-18 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts our fear.
- Philippians 4:7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

A reflection of Our Love
Trust Me. You are making progress. You are not the same as you used to be. My Father and I are always working and you are being shaped into a reflection of Our Love. Our work in you is progressing.

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

- Psalm 103:14 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.
9-6
Wait on Me. I’ll show you what I can do
Patience is difficult when you do not know how much I Love you. I Love you so much that you can relax and let go of your fears for the future. I know all and I Love you completely. So do not be afraid. You do not have to take control. Let go and leave it all to me. Patiently wait and I will show you what only I can do.

- Isaiah 8:17 I will wait on the Lord
9-8
Losing patience opens the wrong doors
When you lose your patience then the demons of anger or fear can enter. Come to Me and give all control back to Me. Submit to My will, My timing, and My control. Patiently endure the circumstances while you watch Me do what only I can do. Be silent and wait. I Love you!
- Psalm 37:7-9 Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.
9-9
Impatience is like a magnifying glass
Impatience is like a magnifying glass that is held up to your own spirit. It will show you the Truth of what is inside. Ask Holy Spirit to show you what is causing your impatience. I Am here and I will help you overcome.
- Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
- Luke 21:19 By your patience possess your souls.
9-10
What is truly behind your impatience
Fear, doubt, anger, unforgiveness, greed, self-love, and jealousy all can generate impatience. Holy Spirit will show you what is behind your impatience. Bind it and cast it out. Repent. Loose the opposite . . . humility, submission, mercy, Love, trust, and faith. Ask Holy Spirit to fill you with peace as you let go of idols. Then patience will come. With patience comes the power to see faith release miracles on the earth. Watch Me do what only I can do. I Am here.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

Now the just shall live by faith
- James 1:2-8 count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9-11
My Love provides the faith for patience
He who truly experiences My Love can be still and patient in all circumstances. Seek My Love. Desire to experience My waves and billows of Love. Only My Love can provide the faith you need to be patient in difficult situations. Seek My waves of Love. Do not be afraid. I will strengthen your inner self with My Love. Then you will see patience grow during the trials. Watch Me do what only I can do. Be with Me. I Am here.

9-12
Circular vision . . . seeing all things
Circular vision is the ability to see everything from all points. The only way to have complete circular vision is to be in the exact center. I Am the center of all things. When you desire Me and come close to Me, you begin to have circular vision. You see Truth from all points. The less you desire Me, the further away from the center you live. You then lose vision to the point of almost total blindness. Choose to be with Me. Sit on My lap. Let Me fill you with My perfect Love, kindness, and forgiveness. Then you will have circular vision. Then you will see Truth all around you.
- John 8:31-32 “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
9-13
Blindness . . . living far away from the center
Blindness is the result of living so far away from the center of Life . . . Me . . . that the eyes of your spirit do not have enough of My Light to see Truth at all. The blind man may think he has sight, but the day will come when I bring him into My Light and into the center of all things. Then he will see that his blindness was the result of where he chose to live. Come to the center of all things now. Do not wait until the final Day. Come Live in My Light now. Do not wait to receive the shock of Truth in the last Day. I Love you.
- John 14:5 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
9-14
Live in the center with Me
I placed My temple and throne in the center of your spirit being. I also placed My temple and throne in the center of My Heavenly kingdom. When you come close to Me in My kingdom, your eyes receive more of My Light. As you approach Me, your spirit receives more of My Life and Love. You can Live in the center of My kingdom and sit on My throne with Me, in My Lap of Loving kindness, while you walk the Earth each day. Turn your inner self inward to your center, and invite Me to set My matching throne within your being. Sit with Me on the throne and learn how I rule with Love and mercy. I will give you circular vision to see the Truth you could not see before.
- John 14:16-17. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
- Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
- Matthew 13:12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
9-15
The Center of All
My throne has a name. It is called the mercy seat. If you choose to sit with Me on the mercy seat while you are on earth then you will have great Light and sight. Those who sit with Me on My throne of Love and mercy see the need of all souls for unlimited Love and mercy. When you rule from My seat you hand out My unlimited Love and mercy to those I placed near you on earth. Live close to Me and give My Love and mercy to the difficult ones around you. Forgive them and forget what they have done. Serve them with a true servant’s heart of humility. Then you will sit with Me in the center of all on My Mercy seat. I will do this with you. I Love you.
- Ephesians 2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, . . made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
- 1 John 4:16 God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
- 1 John 4:21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
9-16
The Nature of True Love
The nature of true Love is that it never stops growing, expanding, and reproducing. That is My Nature. I Am Love.
- 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

The nature of Love is Life. True Love is literally alive. I Am Love. I Am alive.

9-18
Go get a life . . .
When you are rejected by others and they tell you, in effect, to get a life apart from them, then be happy. You can now receive more of Me. You now have more empty places within your heart for Me to fill. Come to Me and My Arms of Love. Happily let them go and leave them behind. Your home is with Me.
- John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

The Pearl of great price
There are true Pearls of great price but there are also plastic pretenders. Do not get the two types of Pearls confused. A true Pearl is full of My Holy Spirit. A plastic Pearl is a pretender who allows dark spirits to be in control. Test the spirit of yourself and those who claim to be Mine. Know who is plastic and who is real. Love them both with mercy and humility, but do not allow the plastic Pearl to be wrapped around your neck as if they were authentic. Keep holy things sacred. Plastic Pearls are not My sheep. Only My sheep are allowed into My sheep fold. Know who is real and who is a pretender. Listen to Me and I will lead you. I Am here.
- Matthew 13:37-38 He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
- John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
9-21
The Pretender Pearl
Plastic Pearls are not real Pearls. They are pretenders. A pretender desires My power, but not Me or My holiness. A pretender desires fame and the admiration of other humans, but not My sufferings. A pretender will seem to leave behind worldliness, but only exchange it for self-righteousness. A pretender will speak of ministering to the poor and needy, but only for personal gain of power and attention. A pretender has a form of religion, but no real hunger for Me to the point of true repentance and change. A pretender does not grow in their love and patience for others. Their forgiveness for the difficult ones around them is limited. Unwillingness to forgive and truly forget the past requires the help of Holy Spirit. Pretenders cannot completely forgive and let go of the past without Holy Spirit.
- Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me . . . ’ “
9-22
True Pearls Crave Only Me
Pretender Pearls are not real Pearls of Great Price. A true Pearl lays down her life for Me and those I place around her. True Pearls Love others, despite injustice. They have this Love because they spend their days walking with Me. True Pearls Love nothing more than to be with Me. They crave only more of Me. The world and worldly things like materials, reputation, relationships, entertainment, health, earth securities, comforts, and life on Earth has no meaning for true Pearls. Their only desire is to receive more of My Love and to give more Love to Me. A pretender will leave some of their life on Earth behind – but not all. They will turn back to their old desires again and again. You will see the call of their true desire upon their life when they return to the darkness they love. A pretender can not hide their dark desires for long.
- John 12:24 . . . unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
- John 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
- 1 Peter 2:21-23 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judges righteously
- Song of Solomon 6:3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.
9-23
True Pearls Are Blind Sheep
There are plastic pretender Pearls who will want to have the benefits of being a true Pearl of Great Price but they will not be willing to pay the high price. A true Pearl is willing to suffer great loss of pride, reputation, materials, time, comforts, and relationships because they are in Love with Me. A true Pearl is a humble follower of only My Voice and My Will. They will blindly go where I lead. They will lay down they life for Me. A pretender will only suffer loss of self-interests to a point. They pretend to follow Me, but they are actually leading and imposing their own will on others. They pretend to serve, but use their service as a means of securing their own desires. They have the words and forms of religion, but do not desire only My Presence and My Will.
- Mark 10:21-22 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
- Luke 9:23-26 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.
- John 6:60, 66-68 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” . . . From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
- Matthew 7:18, 20 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
- Mark 8:35-37 “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
9-24
Genuine Pearls Are Rare and Priceless
When someone is truly in love with another, they will drop everything to be with the one they Love. No suffering or loss is too great to stop them. This is the sign of a genuine Pearl of Great Price. They will stop at nothing to be with Me. They will only humbly seek to follow Me and not themselves or another. Real Pearls know and respond to Me with all their hearts. Real Pearls are rare and priceless. Do not be confused. Plastic pretenders are not real Pearls.
- Matthew 13:46 the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
- 1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails . . .
9-25
Making a Pretender Pearl a Real Pearl
A pretender Pearl may not be a real Pearl during this season of their life, but that does not mean they will always be a pretender. Be patient and wait. Do not try to make what is currently plastic, real. Only I can make a Pearl. Leave the pretender to Me. Let them go. You continue to follow Me. Remain undisturbed in My Arms of Love for you. I always know what is best. I Love you!
- Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
9-26
Dove’s Eyes for only Me
Real Pearls have dove’s eyes . . . eyes for only one mate for life . . . eyes only for Me, the Triune God and creator . . . the Lover of their souls . . . all other relationships are ministry. My Pearls are soul-tied to Me alone.
- Song of Sol 1:15 How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.
- Song of Sol 4:1 You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair falls in waves
- Song of sol 6:9 I would still choose my dove, my perfect one – the favorite of her mother . . .
9-27
Self-pity and self-righteousness
I did not give you a spirit full of self-pity and self-righteousness. Those two demonic spirits often travel together. Do not allow them room within your spirit or your mind. Be careful during times of bearing the burden of the blind sin of others. Do not expect others who are not in a season of closeness with Me to know what they are doing. Therefore, do not hold them accountable in your heart. Self-righteousness is judging yourself to be above another. You are not to be above anyone. Humble yourself as you serve and lay on the altar for those I placed around you. Do not feel sorry for yourself. It is an honor to serve and lay down your desires for those difficult ones. Be grateful for the opportunity to have the honor of giving your life for another. I will help you with your dark thoughts. Just ask for My help over and over again. We will do this together. I Am here.
- Philippians 2:3-4 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
- John 13:14-17 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
- Galatians 6:9-10 let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
9-28
Care for difficult ones for Me
I gave you an honorable task. I have entrusted into your care some carefully chosen needy and difficult ones. I Am trusting you to give them all the Love, mercy, kindness and service they need during their short stay on earth. Remember that I Am entrusting them into your tender care. Have this attitude every day. I will help you. Just ask. I Am here.
- 1 Peter 2:21 Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow in His steps. . .
9-29
Ask Me for insight into their pain
When you are struggling with self-pity and self-righteousness, admit your sin and bind and cast out those spirits. Then ask Me to open your blind eyes to see Truth. The Truth is you have so much to be thankful for. Focus on thanking Me. Focus on how I have blessed you. Praise Me for all that I show you. Then ask Me to give you a heart full of compassion and Love for all those you are to serve. Ask Me to give you insight into their pain and troubles. Pray for them. Be thankful. I will help you. I Am here.
- Psalm 119:18 open my eyes that I may see
- Psalm 138:1 I will praise You with my whole heart…
- Psalm 149:2 . . . let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
9-30
God did not send His son to condemn the world
Remove every thought from your mind that has even the slightest ring of condemnation toward others. Then your words to them will bring Life, just as I brought Life.
…but that the world might be saved
- John 3:16 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn .
