Fear causes your fingers to grip that which you value. Remember that everything on earth comes to an end. Do not grip the things and people and dreams of this life. Grip Me instead. Grip Our Love for each other. Then you will relax your grip on everything else and be free from the grip of fear. Matthew 10:39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Matthew 16:25-27 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26″For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27″For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.… Mark 8:35 For whoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. Luke 9:24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. John 12:25 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25″He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26″If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.…

Fear unbound grows and brings insanity with it. Fear will cause you to see illusions. Never depend on fear to reveal Truth. Run from sources of fear. Quickly examine all the channels of fear in your life and block them. Replace them with spending time with Me. Focus on My great Love for you. I Love you unconditionally. I Am your Lifeline. Do not think you need any other. Isaiah 46:4 Even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.

Fear reveals the heart. It displays what the heart desires over Me. If you are afraid of losing relationships then they are the idols you fear. If you are afraid of poverty then money is the idol you fear. If you are afraid of becoming sick then you do not know the blessing of My Presence during suffering. If you are afraid of loneliness or boredom then you do not know the extent of the deep fellowship you and I can have together. Examine the fears that plague you and you will learn about your heart. Then come talk to Me about what you learned. Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Fear reveals the contents of your  heart like an exam reveals the extent of your  studies. Fear reveals the depth of your  knowledge of My perfect Love for you. If you are afraid then you need to know and experience more of My great Love for you. Be still and relax. Focus on Me while I pour My Love into your spirit. To be with Me is to be with Love.. You need more of My Love so  come be with Me. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 1 John 4:16 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.

There will be no need to forgive each other in Heaven. Do it now while you have the chance. You  will be glad. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you Luke 17:3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”

In Heaven there is no sorrow, no sickness, no poverty, no prison, no loneliness. Therefore the only chance you will have to do good, serve and give to others is now. Do not miss your opportunity. Revelation 7:13-17 13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” 14 I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’nor any scorching heat.17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ ”

Do you want to be lifted up? Ask Me to grow humility within you. Ask Me to show you the Truth. I do not lift up a proud heart. 2 Samuel 22:28 You will save the humble people; but Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down James 4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Ask Me to give you a tender heart toward your own sin. I will give you eyes that overlook the sin of others but clearly see your own. Ask Me to give you a grieving heart over your own sin as I bring you closer to Me. Then you will know My comfort and protection. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Ask Me to make you more hungry and thirsty for Me. Ask Me to break your addictions to the things and relationships of the earth. Ask Me to create more desire within you for Me. Then I will fulfill you. We will have the union of your dreams. Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied Psalm 42:1-3 As the deer pants for streams of water, so pants my soul after you, O God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God.  My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say to me, where is your God?

Ask Me to make you meek. It is the lowly ones who capture My heart and attention. It is those who are humble and desire only Me who attract My eyes. It is those who have no place with the powerful who have a place in Me. To them I will show mysteries. I will carry them on My back because they want to be with Me and depend on Me rather than enjoy their own power. Ask Me to make you meek and lowly. Nothing is impossible with Me. Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience

Ask Me to give you a pure heart so you can see Me. Yes it is possible. All things are possible with Me . . . even purity no matter what your past. I want to show you Myself. I want to delight you. Ask Me to give you a pure heart. I Love you!

I know how to take care of My sheep. I already know tomorrow and I can tell you that all is well. I Am there. Focus on being in the present with Me instead. If you do not stop listening to fear then fear of the future will consume you just like it is consuming all who are eating at the fear feast. Get up and leave. Come to Me. Hebrews 13:5-6 God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Luke 16:13 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 12:22-34  22 And He said to His disciples, For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25 And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? 26 If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27  Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. 30 For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. 32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.  33 Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Fear feeds on fear. Do not enter a fear feast. Where there is fearful talk of the future, where there is a loss of joy in the present, where anxiety over life tomorrow the enemy overshadows My fellowship with you today and  there is darkness and oppression. Do not be consumed with fear of tomorrow. Trust in Me. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go Romans 8:38-39  38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 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.

Ask Me to teach you how to Love those I placed around you. Go ahead and assume you do not know how. Open your heart and desire to learn. It is not about whether anyone deserves to be Loved by you. It is about Loving your brother because I placed you near him. He will not be near you forever. Love him now while you have the opportunity. Psalm 111:1 Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 1John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

The fruit or evidence of a pretender is discontentment, quarrels, anger, division, jealousy, fears, and greed for power. Do not follow a pretender. Do not follow anyone but Me, your Good Shepherd. My sheep want Me alone. Follow Me . . . not a human. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Pretenders stop short of wanting My will when personal pain is involved. Acts 5

“Seek First the Kingdom of God” . . .to seek My kingdom is to desire My will, no matter how it goes against your flesh. Matthew 6:8-13 Father knows what you need before you ask him.“This, then, is how you should pray:  ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,  but deliver us from the evil one.

I do not answer a pretender. I always answer those who want Me with the whole of their spirit or heart and want Truth. I will tenderly care for them as a Shepherd cares for His flock. The pretenders I will expose and drive out. John 4:23-24 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Wanting Jesus is the greatest desire you can ever have. To want Him is to want Truth, Love, Life, and freedom. Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  John 15:9-17   9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to 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. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
