Year Three
ASK ME AND I WILL
3-1
Ask Me and I Will change you
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!
3-2
Ask Me and I Will reveal My Mysteries
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
3-3
Ask Me and I Will give you more of Me
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?
3-4
Ask Me and I Will comfort you
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.
3-5
Ask Me and I Will show you Truth
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
3-6
Don’t miss your time dated opportunities
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.’ ”
3-7
Don’t regret what you can’t do later
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 sistersins 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.”
UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF FEAR
3-8
Fear is like an examination of the heart
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.
3-9
Fear displays your desires and your idols
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.
3-10
Fear unbound brings insanity and illusionary thinking
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.
3-11
Fear exposes what grips you
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.

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.…
3-12
Fear multiplies problems and solves nothing
Fear multiplies problems. Fear never solved anything. Fear of the future does not bring happiness or peace. You lose My peace when you try to solve all the problems fear presents to you. Walk away from fears by relaxing with Me. Shut fear out of your mind by abandoning yourself to Me . . . I honor abandonment to Me.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control
Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Isaiah 41:10 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
3-13
Are you Mine? Take the test . . .
To trust Me and follow Me without seeing Me takes real desire for Me. You do not need great desire to motivate your trust in what you see around you. You can use reason, logic and physical experience to motivate your trust in what you see. To trust in Me requires you to desire Me. That is the dividing line between humans that are Mine and those who are not. If you are Mine then your desire for Me will override your demand to see Me before trusting Me.
John 4:23-24 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23″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.”…
2 Corinthians 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight– 8we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.…
I AM YOUR SHIELD . . . LET ME PROTECT YOU
3-14
Invite me into every conversation
Invite Me into every conversation before the conversation begins. Waiting until the middle is like a sports team who waits to hear directions from the coach until the game is half over.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me,and those who seek me find me
Psalm 145:18The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth
3-15
Don’t separate Our together time
If you separate Our time together from the rest of your day then you have separated Me from your day. Come away in seclusion with Me but then let Us continue Our fellowship together through the day.
Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your most private room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you.
Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth (without guile).
3-16
Honesty as a shield
When you make a mistake or fail in some way do not cover it up or hide. Go to the others involved and be honest. Do not withhold information out of fear. I will use your honesty and faith in Me as a shield. I protect those who are humble and trust Me. Just wait in faith and you will see. Be truthful and trust Me.
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.
Proverbs 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
3-17
Let me coach you through the storm
Do not fear the wrath of those who have allowed themselves to be controlled by demons of anger and revenge. Remember that they are only small humans. They cannot cause eternal damage to you. Be brave. When you have made a mistake that concerns them be honest. Take Me into the room and conversation with you. Be aware of My Presence. Listen as I coach you through the difficult conversation. Say nothing in anger. Do not defend yourself or cover self. Be silent more than you speak. Wait as the captive one follows his anger. I Am your shield. Do not get sucked into the storm. Stay quiet behind My shield. I know how to quiet the storm. Wait. Be honest and trust Me. I Love you!
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God
Colossians 3:12-14 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
3-18
Truth is a Light
Do not hide the truth to protect yourself. The Truth is a precious Light. When you reveal your failures and mistakes you bring a light into the room that shines on the spirits of others and yourself. More than your mistake will be revealed. Everyone’s heart will be opened for all to see by that Light of honesty and Truth. Pain and sorrow may come for a moment but I will honor your trust in Me. You will see the ultimate reward of your humble honesty. Trust Me. Hold on to Me. I will hold you as you reveal the truth of your failures.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

1Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
3-19
Bringing deep works of beauty within your spirit
Walking through the fire of honesty above self-protection is a purifying fire. Admitting you were wrong or failed or made a mistake without covering up facts to protect yourself brings deep works of beauty within your spirit. Walk through the fire with Me. I promise to be with you. Immediately forgive those who are weak and follow anger. You will not do this alone.
Colossians 3:12-13 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
James 4;10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor

3-20
Demoniac spirits want you to be afraid
Demonic spirits of fear want you to be afraid of honesty. Do not listen to their lies. I Am the Lord and I Am here with you.
Proverbs 21:3 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
INCLUDE ME IN THE CONVERSATION
3-21
Why talk to yourself?
Why talk to yourself? Yourself has no new information. I have all you need. Talk to Me. You are protected when you focus on Me.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
3-22
I make all things beautiful . . . in due time
I know the days of oppression and tears, during this season, seem long. Remember that I Am the Master of time. Be patient and endure the pain. You will see Me make all things beautiful in due time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
3-23
Do not point out wrongs
Humbly, quietly serve those who oppress you. Do good to them. Do not point out wrongs. Leave that to Me. Your silent, sincere, humility will say more than words. Trust Me as I work in all of you.
Ephesians 6:7-8 Rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free
3-24
The ultimate addiction
I have the ultimate addiction and it is you. I just cannot stay away from you!

MAKING DIAMONDS FROM DIRT
3-27
Hard times, dark valleys from Me, are good gifts
Accept the hard times, dark valleys, from My Hands as they are good gifts. Gifts do not have to be easy and pleasant to be good. Accept with humble awareness that I know what I Am doing and all I do is good.
Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
3-28
Thank Me for the dark valleys
Faith does not grow when the future looks bright and easy. Thank Me for the dark valleys. You will thank Me later.
James 1:2 Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.
3-29
How to grow greed, pride, and selfishness
When times are good, what dies and what lives? Does selfishness die in good times? Does greed die? Does pride die? What about doubt, does it die? No. Good times cause those things within you to grow as moisture causes mold to grow. The more your flesh is given easy living, entertainment, and indulgences the more it grows and demands them.
James 1:2 Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.
3-30
The valley of growth
The Valley of the Shadow of Death is not an easy place for your selfishness to grow. It is the place where self dies. If you accept the Valley of Death as My Will, then where there is loss, selfish demands die. Where there is pain the desire to serve others grows. Where there is a bleak future faith grows. Where there is pride the humble knowledge of your weakness takes over. Learn to Love the valleys. They are the truly good times of your life.
Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even 2though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
3-31
Do not fret . . . wait peacefully on Me
Wait on Me. While you are waiting, rest. Rest your spirit. Relax. Do not be agitated while you wait. Wait peacefully. Ask Holy Spirit to slow down your whirling emotions and relax. Rest on My Love as if it were a soft pillow for your head. Close your eyes and feel the pillow of My Love under your head. Rest your spirit even while you are busy during the day. Yes, this is possible. Ask Holy Spirit to give your spirit peaceful relaxation while you are performing your duties. Rest in My Love while you wait. Do not fret . . . it only causes harm. Wait peacefully.
Psalm 37:7a Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way .
