you!
Don't lose sight of the goal, the vision I've given you!
Establish a ministry that's really going to spread My Word & My
message, & stop compromising for gain.
Do something for Me, that's going to make an obvious difference!

follow Me, spreading My message of truth to the lost & hungry
sheep & being a ray of light in a dark & dreary world!

There’s no way to live in the Spirit without prayer.
There’s no way to do the Master’s work without the Master’s
power, without spending time with the Master.
Connected with Me. Everything you’re learning must be put into
practice in order to move you forward!
Prayer is the hand that moves the gigantic network of My Realm,
the Spirit World, on your behalf.
In order to make real headway and forward movement and
visible, lasting progress, you’re going to have to commit your
ways unto Me and put your trust in Me, that I will bring those
things that concern you to pass. You’re going to have to trust in
Me to do it for you, instead of vaguely hoping that it might work
out alright, doubting whether I will do it for you or not, and
looking around for ways your own arm of the flesh might get you
out of this situation somehow if worse comes to worst...
In order to find My way, My strategy, My method, My solution,
you’re going to have to look in the Spirit! You can’t look in the
physical realm for solutions. That’s not from whence your help
cometh. Your help cometh from the Lord, which made Heaven
and earth (Ps.121).
You rely not on your own understanding, not your own strength,
not on luck, but on Me, the Creator of all things.
Give it to Me in prayer, put Me in charge of it. And then stand
back, relax & see what happens.

telling them it’s all an illusion and a lie.

They have chosen: the temporal over the eternal; the god of this

materialism over love, the fake over the Real Thing.
What matters to them is the material path, and so they judge by
material criteria.

That’s what they hated about Me. I was a living monument to the
fact that they had been placing their bet on a lie, a loser, and
building their lives on a fake foundation. The more established
their lives were on that foundation, the more satisfied they were
with their fake and their lie, the more they resented Me. Only
those who at the core of their hearts were dissatisfied with that
game, with the Matrix, they were ready to let go of it all and follow
Me or at least hinge their faith on Me.
People are having to make the same kind of choices about you.
You resemble to them what I resembled to folks in My day and My

did in the folks of My time, and the end result is basically the

concerning Me.
Whichever way they’re going to respond and react to you, is their
