“The thief comes but to steal, rob and kill.
I come to breathe LIFE eternal, HEALTH and PROSPERITY on My people.
He seduces My people to commit sin in order to steal from them.
THAT is why not honoring your parents steals from you !
All sin is a stealer, a killer, a destroyer ! Because the wages of sin is death.
He knows that if he can get you to ignore Me, that then He can steal your inheritance in ME. So you must resist to be able to benefit from the inheritance that is yours.
If you criticize and do not honor others, it steals.
If you withhold instead of give, it robs from you.
If you hate instead of love, it brings death & destruction.
Remember that I said, he who does not love his brother is a murderer.
So in these ways, the enemy is stealing, killing, & destroying, trying to displace your inheritance and to keep you from fullness of My character, My love, and the inheritance you have in ME.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. NKJV
Now that I’ve said this, let me give you some balance here. For I know how sneaky the devil is to try also to come towards you with a religious spirit and make you feel guilty for things I have not called you to do.
The highest obedience is to obey ME and what I tell you to do.
So many today only partially obey. They do not want to give up their lives to have Mine.
When a child becomes a man, the word says, he leaves his parents and clings to his wife.
So a child of age has to learn to make his own decisions that are made WITH ME.
If your parents do not honor ME by seeking My face for you, then they are not walking on solid ground or leaning on the Rock that is My Son. They are in rebellion. I do not want you emulating ungodliness.
You honor your parents by saying that you respect them, and listen to what they say, but you DO WHAT I SAY. You don’t put them down for not being in synche with My will. You respect them. If a parent is dishonoring to you, then they are not honoring ME and MY Word. You are not bound to obey domination and control. But you are bound to honor them, and if you need, to leave that house and live trusting in ME. Many of you young people are walking in promiscuity going from one sexual partner to another. You are defiling yourself with men or women seeking for love in them, instead of from ME. I have not so ordained you. If you cannot keep from burning over someone then you are to marry. But in the relationships you have, you have to seek MY FACE in order to receive the LOVE only I can give that will sustain you through any relationship. You need even MY GRACE to love ME. So unless you spend time with ME daily, you deprive yourself of the grace that is necessary to get through the day.
When that happens, any person will tend to walk according to your own desires and flesh, instead of asking ME for guidance, because you are not fellowshipping with ME, you are trusting in self, rather than in ME. I want you to know HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. You can only know that by EXPERIENCING ME. I AM AN EXPERIENCE. If you want to feel My love, then you ask for it. Even as a husband or wife would ask for more intimacy. I am a person. And you are my great delight. But you must come to ME, to ask to experience that manifest love I have for you, and to experience the PEACE that comes from fellowship with ME.
I will always love you and never forsake you. But how would YOU feel if someone close to you, just wouldn’t talk to you anymore ? How would you feel if you were 12 yrs old and your parents abandoned you ? I have feelings. That is how you got yours. I am GOD, but I am NOT WITHOUT FEELINGS. I hurt when you hurt, because MY SPIRIT lives in you, we are connected. I feel your emotions, and pain. I know when you are hurting, and I am waiting with open arms to embrace you when you feel sad, lonely or rejected, or even angry. So I want you to RUN to ME, and not seek out another when you feel those negative feelings. First RUN TO ME. FIRST RUN TO ME when you run into trials and tribulations. I AM THE RESOURCE of everything you need.
Think about it ! Think about how you would feel if you were a parent and your child was suffering and they never told you about it, but tried to handle it on their own. Wouldn’t you feel sad ? Wouldn’t you feel rejected a bit, and wonder, why doesn’t he come to me ? THAT is how I feel. I AM YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER, and there is nothing I don’t see, nothing I don’t know, nothing I can’t help you handle. I AM a PROTECTIVE FATHER. I am a JUST FATHER. I am concerned about JUSTICE. Don’t think because you see injustice in the world, that I am mute and incapable of taking it in hand. For if you will come to me, and lay that problem down at the cross, and give the pain to ME, I WILL help you resolve anything. I know being young, that you think I’m not fast enough. But I AM THE ALL WISE ONE. I know best how to handle things. And I AM PATIENT with you, so surely you can understand that I am also patient with others.
NEVER seek vengeance beloveds, for I AM THE GOD of all gods, and Vengeance is MINE.
I know the ways of all men. Remember the thief on the cross, and how I forgave the one ?
Remember I told him I’d see him in paradise that day ? That is how quick I am to forgive you when you repent ! I know the number of the very hairs on your head. Let ME discipline MY children in MY way. Let me be GOD, and not you. I am your Abba, YOUR FATHER, and I will give you understanding, wisdom and knowledge IF YOU ASK for it. Ask Me for what you need. Ask ME for wisdom that you need daily. I WILL give generously to all who ask in earnest, not just for selfish reasons. Also forgive yourselves and others READILY. TRUST in ME, and I will direct your footsteps. TRUST is hard to learn when it’s been violated in your lives. All of life is learning to trust ME, and how to love. For if you learn to fully trust ME, then you will receive fullness of My love more and more, as you spend time with me. If you want MORE, then spend MORE time in My presence. For I am here for you.
I will help you learn to trust. I will help you with all your needs, no matter how great or small. I LOVE YOU. “
