The Cure
Suffering from mood swings, instability, anxiety? The cure is in praise. Praise Me when you are up. Praise Me when you are down. Praise Me when you are afraid. Praise Me when it makes no sense. Begin in your thoughts. Increase your praise little by little. Keep going. Now praise with your voice, even if it is just a whisper. Keep praising. Set reminders to praise Me when you are distracted. You will then be set free. I promise. It really works. Try Me. I Am your Maker. Jesus.
Psalm 147 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasing and praise is right. The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He gathers those of Israel who had been taken away. He heals those who have a broken heart. He heals their sorrows. He knows the number of the stars. He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord, and great in power. His understanding has no end. The Lord lifts up those who are suffering, and He brings the sinful down to the ground.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
9-7
I Am here. . . . speak and then listen
You have experienced the enemy penetrating your dreams to terrorize you. You know I can speak to you while you are dreaming. How much more can We communicate in your thoughts?

And after the wind an earthquake,[but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Talk to Me
Invite Me into your thoughts. You have an inner life of constant conversation. Who are you talking to? You cannot play both sides of a game equally alone. Having conversations within your own mind is like a dog who seeks to catch his own tail. It is useless and will only heighten your emotions. Talk to Me in your thoughts.

9-14
Speaking to darkness is dangerous.
Speaking to darkness is dangerous. Speak to Me, using the power of your thoughts. I created your ability to communicate with thoughts. I can also use what sounds like your thoughts to speak to you. I will answer you in your thoughts. Let Us begin. You will now never be alone within yourself. Trust Me.

1 Kings 19:11 So He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord was passing by, and a great and powerful wind was tearing out the mountains and breaking the rocks in pieces before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, [there was] an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake, [there was] a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire, [there was] the sound of a gentle blowing. 13 When Elijah heard the sound, he wrapped his face in his mantle (cloak). and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Let’s Talk!
How can We have a real relationship without two-way conversation? How can you experience Me without real fellowship with Me? To talk with Me is to know Me. I Love you and want you to know Me. Let’s talk!

Philippians 4:6-7 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
9-17
Imaginary Conversations
You speak to other people and you speak to yourself in your mind. You have imaginary conversations and even arguments with others within your mind. You think your mind is private and only you are generating the thoughts and initiating the conversations. You think you are conversing only with yourself, like one who plays a game of chess with himself controlling both sides of the board. This is not the Truth. Your thoughts are not hidden behind an impenetrable, sound-proof, and private room. Any spirit can hear and join your thoughts. He will use your thoughts to speak to you. Do not be fooled. Your thought-life is not a private conversation with yourself alone.

9-22
Don’t Take the Bait
Remain in control, while you surrender all to Me. The enemy seeks to control your time, thoughts, words, and actions. Do not give him anything. Watch for all the tactics he uses to steal you away from inner conversations with Me. He knows that if he can bait your thoughts, then he can draw you away from the protective Truth that comes from constant fellowship with Me. Fight him like you fight to walk through an opposing current in a river. Do not let his bait carry you away. Desire conversation with Me enough to fight for it.

Don’t Be Rude
The enemy of your soul will fight hard to prevent you and Me from having conversations. He will use distractions and tell you that you are rude if you do not answer every question and speak about every topic that others are demanding. Do not be drawn into distracting conversations.
1 Peter 5:8-9 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

9-28
Got Peace
You check your gas tank before driving somewhere. Check your peace before doing or saying anything. Low on peace? Check your thoughts. Are they filled with Love, selflessness, humility, compassion, good memories, remaining only in the present, faith, intimate conversation with Us? No? Then turn your thought life around. Go back to where you left pure, noble, just, lovely, and true thoughts. Dump the bad reports and wandering, untamed thoughts. Return to Our conversation. Peace will return. Now you can continue the journey.
Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
