                   A Message From The Father


You are My child. I have adopted you into My family, and you are
completely and totally wanted, desired and loved. And just like any 
father among you, I desire to see you grow up to be like Me, I want 
you to become a "chip off of the old block." 

That is why My spirit is at work in your life--helping you to mature, 
and molding you into My image. I want you to begin to think and act 
like I do. I want you to share My values; to like the things that I 
like and to disdain the things that I disdain. I also want to bring 
you into the family business, so you may do My works with Me, just as 
Jesus did. 

As you grow to be more like Me, I will trust you more and more with
My true kingdom riches. I will make them available to you and put them
at your disposal, allowing you to move with Me in greater a measure 
of My power, anointing and authority. Then you will truly be able to
do all the works that My Son Jesus did when He walked this earth.*

I also want you to spend time with Me, that we might fellowship 
together, so that I might reveal more of Myself to you. I am love
and I will pour out My love upon you in our times together, until
you are completely and totally secure in My great love for you.
Yes, dear one, I am your loving Heavenly Father, and I want our 
relationship to develop together. 

I want you to know and understand what "sonship" means. You always
have access to Me, dear one. I will never be too busy for you. There
is nothing too small for you to bring to My attention, and there is 
nothing too big for Me to handle. I want you to feel free to come 
and spend time with Me even when you don't have any particular reason 
for coming to Me. I want to walk along side of you, so that you start 
to think of Me as your best and dearest friend. 

I want you to learn how good and how faithful and dependable I am, 
so that you will always be confident that I will come through for 
you. I want you to know deep down in your innermost being that you 
can trust Me to help you with whatever trial or difficulty you may 
face, so that you can rise up in faith and see My victory come into 
that area of your life. I don't want worry, fear or anxiety to have 
any power over you; I want your joy to be full. I am your Heavenly
Father and I am for you; I am constantly at work in your life to
turn your circumstances around for good, and to bring My glory into
your situation.

I have good plans for you, dear one. I have given you a hope and a
purpose and a destiny. And if you choose to cooperate with Me, you
will see these things begin to manifest quickly in your life. Let
Me explain how you can cooperate with Me, so that you may walk in 
the fullness of all I have for you: I expect you to obey Me as any 
good child would obey their daddy. An obedience born from love and
fueled by faith is the key that will unlock all that I have for
you and bring them to pass in your life. I have ordained you for 
greatness and I have placed many good things into your hands. And 
as you walk before Me in love and obedience, you will be able to
accomplish all that I have ordained for you to do--for I will be
with you in all of these things, empowering and anointing you to
succeed in each one.

If you will do these things--if you will obey Me because you love Me
and if you will walk close to Me--then when you leave this life and 
stand before My throne in eternity, I will be able to say these words 
to you: "Dear child, you have done well and I am proud of you!" That 
is My hope and My desire for you.


*John 14:12-14.
