Everyone who steps foot on earth has disappointment. It is a sad fact of life that we have people and situations in life that bring us sadness and disappointment. Life can be hard. Some people go from one hard thing to the next. For some people life from start to finish is trying and very disappointing. Some people come from a sad past and move away from home, come into a different environment and they overcome and go on to prosper. But for others in some parts of the world life is just hard from birth to death. In the West people try to ignore people who are suffering. People try to live away from places where there is suffering.
On earth My life was not an easy one. Some people assume because I was God on earth that I had a good life and never was disappointed. When we are disappointed it is often because life does not live up to our expectations. In My home town and amongst my own family I had My mockers. I was saddened by this, and I constantly had to be in prayer offering up my sadness to My Father. If I left Myself to My feelings then I would have become bitter and sinned in My thoughts. To some extent I lived a life that was very different to many Christians. It was the desire of Paul and John the apostles to teach people that they might live a life like mine.
Life can be hard when people let you down. Life can be hard when you had high expectations in life and yet life deals you bad fortune. Life can be hard but Psalm 37: 4 says, Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. When you are next disappointed with how life is going turn to that verse and think about it and claim it for your life. I do not want your life to go from one disappointment to the next. Some people preach that if you change your thinking then your life will change and that is true. People who think better and stand on the Word seem to have more prosperous lives where people who don't renew their minds in the Word are attacked from every quarter. So get out your Bible and claim it and change your life.

Praise
It is a good thing for you to give praise to God. It is a wonderful place to be in to be in a place of praise. One good time to praise God is when you are in the midst of a storm. When you are being drowned by the waves of calamity lift up your voice and your arms and praise God. To live in a place of praise is the right way to live. When you can praise God no matter what is going on with your life then you are walking in a position of rest. I desire you all the function out of a place of rest.
Many people are not aware but I was ridiculed, rejected and mocked all of my life. People who were close to Me became my harshest critics when I declared Myself to be the Chosen One. People I grew up with, who used to be My good friends mocked Me rudely. I gave Myself to prayer and praise and the louder their voices grew the more I sang My praise to My Father. If you are being mocked by people and rejected by loved ones, know that I too suffered before you and lift your hearts in praise that you would be considered worthy to suffer.
I long to watch you and hear your praises. I long to see you build spiritual muscles. I long to hear you climb into the heavenlies though praise and come and sit with Me. I long to shine through you as you give yourself over to Me. I long to infuse you with My peace in the midst of your suffering. I long to watch you succeed and prosper as you sing My praises. I love you so much. Don't hold back. Lift up your hands and dance with Me and fellowship in My glory. I am going to work through you and I am going to push you forward and I am going to lead you with My righteous right hand. Open up your hearts and enter into My rest.

Conquering Pride
In this life that you live you will have to fight against pride. No one likes a person that is puffed up with pride. People who have low self-esteems often have one area in their life where they are proud and they try to impress everyone with how good they are in that area. There is a fine line between being happy with what you know and being full of pride. Pride is offensive to Me. It is true that God resists the proud. Often you will find people full of pride will be friends with each other. Some people gather together under the leadership of a prideful person who is controlling and bow to him and become clones of him.
When I was on earth, as you well know around to your way I came up against leaders of the Jewish people that were full of pride. These people had an outward appearance of everything righteous and holy and yet they were far from true righteousness. With their focus on self -righteousness they weighed the people down with laws that were impossible for normal folk to obey. On many occasions I rebuked these leaders, both in private and in public. Many of My parables, those recorded in the Gospels and others that were not recorded spoke out against these oppressive leaders. They mocked Me, they tried to make Me slip with what I said and how I answered them, but I was meek and humble and they simply could not outwit the Holy Spirit in Me.
One way to fight pride in your life is to live in a spirit of thankfulness. Know and acknowledge that it was God that gave you your gifts and talents and your every success has been allowed by God. When you keep your focus on God, and you acknowledge Him with everything that you do that is praiseworthy than you will stay in an attitude of meekness and humility. When you come up against people with religious ideas and ideologies keep yourself in a spirit of humility and try not to argue with them, simply bless them and speak to them from a position of love. When you act like this and you treat people with honour no matter how prideful they are, you may win some.

Taking Offense
In this world it is quite easy to take offence. The world is full of people with opinions and different moods. Some people get you in their sights and have fun lashing out at you and if you don't watch yourself you can take offence, not forgive and let bitterness start to grow in your heart. Satan likes to attack people in their minds, sure, but one of his best weapons is using other people to attack you. If you are honest with yourself, you most probably have been used in the past to hurt a person with your words and actions. When people offend you, it is imperative to bring that hurt to Us and let go of it. It is vital for you not to be carrying around offences with your life. It seriously impedes your spiritual life if you do.
Many people are not aware of of all the insults that came My way then I was on earth. Many people have no idea that I had my critics and not just among the leaders of the day. Even people that I had healed were friends one day and hurling insults the next day when I said something that was hard in one of My teachings. People seem to forget that I was a Teacher and that I was bringing a new form of teaching that many people had not heard before. Some of my teaching and preaching brought conviction to many in My audience and it drove some to anger. Those that got angry were not backward in letting Me know that they did not approve. I had to keep short accounts with God and not let bitterness rise up within Me. It wasn't easy for Me.
I promised that in this life that you would have tribulation. I promised that you would suffer in this life. Paul taught, quoting the Old Testament, that as believers you will be chastised by My Father. Sometimes We allow offence in your life to see how you cope with it. Are you going to strike back, or are you going to be humble and mature and deal with it like we want you to do? In this life, you will have people come against you. Some people are so harsh with you, but even in the midst of people offending you, some of the people that do it are trying to correct you and lead you onto a better path that they assume you need to go on. Not all offence comes from people with evil intentions. Some of the people that offend you really are trying to break through to you. When you are offended, bring the hurt to Us and have a discussion with Us about it. Keep short accounts with Us and others. Don't let the sun go down on your anger.

A Friend of sinners
One of the key parts of a great life is to have friendships. Some people have lives that have few friends to share them with and this is really sad. One of the best things about having a relationship with God is to have friends that you can share your journey and Christian life with. Your friends don't all have to be believers in fact We love Christians to have many friends that are not believers. When you have a number of friends that don't have a relationship with Us it makes your life have a more missional focus. We enjoy working though the lives of common people to touch and lead people to Us.
When I was on earth, you will read that I was a great friend of sinners. I spent so much of my time sitting down and eating with the low lifes of society that the Pharisees had some not so kind words for Me. They were always trying to find out why I, a Rabbi, had so much time for people that were not obeying God with their lives. I wanted to impress on the leaders that the lonely sinners were exactly who I was here to minister to, and that they too should focus on winning the heart of the lost. Many of the lost travelled with Me and became loyal followers of Me both when I was living and after I went back to Heaven. Being the friend of sinners is something everyone should try to do.
There will always exist opportunities for you to have a friendship with someone that does not follow after Me. People in this world are really searching for someone that is authentic and honest. You live in a world that is getting darker and darker with terrorism on the rise. People are looking for something and someone that they can place their trust in. To be a stable and honest person who is not caught up with fear of death is something that the world is looking for now. People are scared and worried, and boy even Christians are worried. It is becoming more and more important to shine the light of God in the world. Drawing close to people who don't have faith in Me is a very profitable thing for you to do right now. Ask Me for souls and go out and be My light to the world.

Being Set Apart
I have called you to Myself. I have called you out of the world to be Mine. I want you to leave the world with all its charms and pursue Me with all that you have. That means knowing Me, that means hearing Me, that means obeying Me, and that means doing all you can to be the very best person that you can be. I did not call you to continue to play with the world. I called you to be My bride so that we could know each other and do things together. I want to bring the Kingdom to earth and I want to bring it to earth through you. I don't want you just to listen to sermons and read books, I want you to take action and do your part in bringing in the harvest.
When I lived and ministered on earth many people loved who I was and what I was doing. Many people would sell property that they owned and bring it to Judas and give it to our treasury. People were so effected by Me that they sold all they owned and gave it to Us. These people then came and followed Us. Selling property was just not a tradition of the early church in Acts, but it existed when I was doing ministry. These people gave up their lives and status in society to pursue Me.
Today many people cannot even give Me their time. So many people have no time for Me. So many people are busy doing life, working, attending to children, surfing the web, posting on Facebook and watching Television. Don't you know that you can do all these things but also walk in my presence? Don't you know that you can be just as busy but take Me with you? You can start to include Me in your life today. You don't have to give up the whole world and its lusts, just take Me into your world and let Me make and impact through you. Sure it may help to give Me you whole life first, and walk free of the lusts of the world for a time, but with a right relationship with Me I can redeem anything. Won't you live a life set apart for Me?

The Anointing
When I call people to minister on earth I give them to anointing to to do the job at hand. The anointing can be described as the power to do the job at hand. If you have been called to lead a small Bible study than you will be given measure of Our anointing to speak to a number of people. If you are called to lead a church of a hundred people each week, we may give you a larger anointing then the Bible study leader. I do not waste My power in people's lives. I give people what they need to do the jobs that have been prepared for them to walk in since the foundation of the world.
When I walked this earth people might know that I walked in an amazing anointing. Few people have walked in a similar anointing since then, but that does not mean that it is not possible to do. The anointing comes upon a life that is submitted to God and My life was fully given over to My Father and His purposes for My life. When I was in ministry My whole life was Kingdom focused. Even when I was alone in prayer, it was so that I could be filled with the anointing to get on and serve others during the coming day.
In these coming days there are going to be revivalists that walk in the full measure of the anointing that I walked in on earth. There are coming men and women whose lives will be so completely consecrated to Me that My Earthly anointing will rest on their lives. They will do great exploits and lead many people into the Kingdom and revive the hearts of many people who are already in the Kingdom. This is not new. Didn't I say that people would do greater works than I? I long to see these people manifesting My Kingdom on the Earth and taking it by force off the evil one. Are you one of these people? No matter if it is you or not, the more that you give of your life to Me, the more that you lay down of your life, the richer My anointing can rest on your life.

Favor
To walk in the favor of God is a good thing. Everybody is loved by God but not all people walk in His favor. I want to tell you that because not everyone walks in it, it is something that is to be sought out and cherished when it comes upon you. Joseph had a portion of My favor in his life and so did Daniel. Both men were in foreign lands serving foreign leaders. The blessings and favor on their life stood out to the leaders and My Father's name was glorified. One reason that We give Our favour to an individual therefore is to have them glorify Our name.
When I came to earth I was a nobody but a poor Rabbi outside of the favor of God. I walked in an amazing anointing and was blessed by My Father. I would have been an unknown without the blessing of the Lord God on My life. I was raised up and did many powerful signs and wonders that got the attention of the people and I was able to glorify My Father to His people. I was a light in the darkness and I brought hope to a downtrodden people. Without the favor and blessing of God, like I have said, I would have been a nobody.
God is calling you to a new way of living. God wants to be glorified through your life. He wants to make His name known on Earth. He wants to raise people up with His favor and have them bring Him to peoples attention. God wants to do glorious things through His people. He doesn't want people just sit on pews and listen to sermons each week and grow fat on the Word. He wants people to grow, to be bold and to go out and make change in the world. You can seek Us to show you what We want you to do with your life, and you can seek Us for our favor so that work that you do stands out from the crowd.

Your Future
You might draw in a sharp breath when you consider the future on earth. Things are getting pretty dark. Things are rushing headlong into the way things were in Noah's day before My Father destroyed the populations of the Earth. So what about your future? How are you going to make a lasting impact on this world rushing faster and faster into depravity? How are you going to shine? What are you going to do in your future and how is that going to be My will in your life? The time has come for people not to sit on the sidelines any more. The time has come for people to get off the church pews and make a real difference to the world. Are you going to do that in your future? Is that what you future looks like?
When I was a young child I thought about my future life in ministry all the time. As I read the scriptures that talked about the history of Israel and how they strayed from God, and how the prophets corrected them, I wondered how I would as a prophet correct the people of My day. I pondered many times what I would be like, what ministry style that I would have. Would I be like Elijah and confront the Baals and false Gods in my country, or would I be a passionate prophet who wept for His people in bondage to sin, like Jeremiah? Yes I pondered the future quite a lot and in the Gospels you get a little idea of how I came out of the gates and ran My race.
How can you do things differently to what others have done that came before you? How can you make a name for your family name? How can you affect the life on earth in your future? One way to have a great future is to get to know the Holy Spirit and develop the ability to walk in the Spirit and do His will in your life. With a great relationship with Us your future is a sure thing. We have only good things to do in the world. We have so many opportunities for people to take part in as the struggle for the human minds starts in earnest as time becomes short. Come to Me, give you whole life to Me and let me guide you into a fulfilling future.

Blessings
When you are truely abandoned to Me you are able to recognise when I pour out My blessings in your life. When you give up your "rights" to owning and possessing stuff it is easy for you to be aware when I bless you with friends, family and possessions. Instead of all of them possessing you, they are recognised by you as true blessings in your life. It saddens Me to see My people living life with no awareness of all the ways that I pour out My blessings in their life. Take the time now, stop reading, and think over all the blessings that you have in your life.
When I was on earth My Father blessed Me with people to love and fellowship with. I was blessed with a great mother and father and siblings. I was blessed to be able to call twelve disciples to be close to Me and share in My ministry with Me. I was blessed to be able to heal so many people and to bring the light of knowledge to the people of Israel. I was blessed to be God among His creation. I walked and talked and loved my creation and that was something no other God has done from other religions. My life, each day was blessed by the ability to be able to provide answers to lost and depraved generation.
Your life is blessed so that you in turn can be a blessing. I give you money so that you can be source of supply for other needs that are needed. I give you a healthy love for yourself so that you can be a source of love for others that suffer without it. I give you family and a sense of belonging so you can be a sense of family for other people. Each blessing that I pour out in your life becomes an opportunity for you to bless others. Take some time today to reflect on ways that you can be used to bless other people and then go one step further and be that blessing! You might even want to share this post with your friends on Facebook.

Abandonment
I am calling you to lay down your life for Me. I am calling you to abandon the world with its desires, its ways and its attractive enticements. Stop letting the world with all its lusts speak to you and come away with Me into your secret place. Let me woo you, let me romance you, let me sweep you off your feet. How precious it would be if you loved me with true abandonment? What it you forsook everything, every relationship, everything that make you yourself and simply collapsed into My arms in a sweet embrace? Imagine letting go of everything that hinders Our relationship and simply coming home to Me? Can you see this happening?
The Father did not have to wait to capture My heart. I knew Him and loved Him from a little child. My angels took Me on trips to meet My Father in Heaven as a small child. I sat on His lap and I was wrecked for life as a normal person. I was totally surrendered to God, and lived a life of abandonment from a very young age and I never ever put one foot wrong in my entire life. Can you wrap your mind around that? I never did anything country to the laws of love. I never actually did one sin. I was abandoned and set apart for God and only God.
Can you imagine a life of pure abandonment? Can you imagine for a second, letting go of your house, your possessions, your mother and fathers relationship, the relationship with your partner and children, and totally surrendering to Me? Can you let them all go for an hour and give yourself to Me in holy matrimony? Will you surrender and let go of everything for Me? Can you be a love sick bride to Me? Come to Me right now. Give yourself to Me afresh. Abandon all.

To Cherish
When someone is precious to us we cherish them. We hold them in a special place, that life, circumstances and attacks cannot shift. We hold them in a place in our heart where the walls cannot be broken down. Have you ever loved someone like that? Have you ever cherished someone in a way where satan could not effect with all his fiery darts. Perhaps you cherish your mother like that? Perhaps if you are a parent you cherish your children like that. I want you to know that I cherish YOU like that! To Me, you are in a special place in My heart. When you sin, I don't stop loving you, I don't draw away from you, but I actually lean forward in Heaven and pray that you would confess your sin and draw yourself back to Me.
One thing that I knew when I was on earth that my Pappa in Heaven truely cherished Me. I did not have one doubt in My life of His love. I was overcome and immersed in His extravagant love for all of My life. I did not go from believing one day to doubting His love the next day. In this, if nothing else, I was not like you. I was assured with and comfortable in My Pappa's love. Can you imagine how indestructible and strong you would be if you were sure of the same?
God cherishes you. He has made a way for your to be close to Him, but first some of you need deep emotional healing. God has even put counsellors on the earth that can get to the bottom of your need and help you to be healed. You really are the apple of His eye. You really are loved like I am by Him. Just as He loves and cherishes Me, so to He loves you. He has not got one form of love for Me and then another form of love for you. He does not measure out His love for people that are His according to the way that they behave, Just as you cherish your own mother, or how you cherish your child, God cherishes you. It might be hard for you to contain in your heart and mind right now, but seek that counsellor and come back to these words one day and you will see that I was speaking the truth.

Abiding with Christ
How would you like to walk closely with Me? How would you like to be so close to Me, that no person, no possession, or no circumstance could get between Us? Can you imagine having such a deep relationship that nothing could seperate Us from each other's love? Can you imagine waking up to a sort of relationship where I am not only your everything but everything that you do is right in sync with My will and My purposes? That is abiding in Me and that is what I have called you to. I have not called you to a relationship that can be understood or simply a knowledge of Me, I have called you to an Intimate relationship with Me where you know My thoughts, My desires and even My moods from day to day.
When I was on earth, I did not only minister to the people each day, but I carried out every thought and intention of My Father. Everything that Dad wanted Me to do, I did willingly and not bearing a grudge, even to My death on a cross. My and Dad were One. Where you saw Me you saw My Father. When I said something it was what Dad wanted Me to say. When I did something, it was what Dad wanted Me to do. I abided with My Father and to Me is was as natural as drawing breath.
I do not want to just be someone that you admire and you want to please. I do not want to be someone that you look up to and never hope to emulate. I do not want you to preach and teach My people out of some obligation to the Bible and man's teaching. I want to be One with you. I want to possess you. I want to indwell you in such a natural way that when people meet you they feel that they are meeting Me. I want to make My home within you, I want to go where you go and I want to meet the people that you meet and hug the people that you hug. I don't want to be a God in Heaven far off, I want to be Emmanuel, God with us. Won't you let go of the world and all its requirements of you and let Me into your life?

Reliability
How many people do you know that are totally reliable? How many people are the same, no matter what comes against them? How many people can be trusted to be the same person no matter of they are approached by a poor homeless person or a rich businessman? How many people can trusted to follow Me at every opportunity and in every situation? Can you be reliable or do you change your behavior depending on who you are dealing with? Will you speak for half an hour to a homeless man when a pretty girl is available to talk to you are the same time? Will you sit down and shoot the breeze with prostitutes and homeless people when you could be discussing Me and doctrine with a visiting prophet?
One thing that I was is reliable. If someone had a question and the person wasn't try to trap Me with an answer I was to give, I gave the Teachers of the Law and the harlot the same attention when I framed My answers. I was the same Jesus to every person that came to Me. I had the time to touch lives, to make people think and to challenge the thought patterns of the world whoever I was. At a dinner party I could be found with the publicans and tax collectors table and the teachers of the Law used to get offended with Me as they felt that they were more deserving of My time and My knowledge. But who would you prefer to talk to, someone who challenged everything that you said, or someone that was so hungry for everything that you had to say that hung on your every word?
People are watching you. People don't want to see that you show favouritism with the people you would give your time to. People want to know that you can be trusted. People want to know that you don't change your story depending on who you are addressing. People want to know that you can be reliable with your words and your actions. The first person that needs to commit to being reliable is not your friends, it is you. The world does not need to change, people don't have to join you in your new way of life, you can really be a maverick and change and go from being different with every person to becoming reliable. Try it out. It will change your life and you outcomes. I promise you!

Loyalty
You live in a world where integrity has been sadly lacking. A man used to promise to do something, and he would make sure that he would do as he promised. Today it becomes harder to find people that stay true to their word and remain loyal to a cause or to a person for their whole life. Loyalty is such an integral part of successful ongoing relationships but it is so sadly lacking in the world in which you live. One way to be looked upon with favor from God, is to be a person who is loyal to his friends, his colleagues, the people in authority over him and to God. If you cannot be loyal to people that you can see, how can you be loyal to a God that you can't see?
Many people will consider My life as they read the Gospels. There was one person that wasn't loyal to Me, that went out and sold Me and betrayed Me. When he came to Me in the Garden, I kissed him also as he kissed Me. My heart was crying not for what he had done to Me in his betrayal, as I needed to be betrayed, but My heart went out to him as I knew where his guilt was going to drive him later that night. Many people would consider that Peter denying Me was not loyal of him, but few people put in the same circumstances as him would have said they were with Me. Many can be disloyal to Me, but I will always love them, and sometimes after twenty five years away from Me in the wilderness as a lost sheep, My love, forbearance and loyalty to them will draw them back.
You live in a world where it only takes thirty seconds to unfriend someone who has insulted you on Facebook. You live in a world where a man that confesses adultery to his wife is left and divorced because the Law of Moses allows it. You live in a world where relationships are like shifting sand, always moving, and always changing. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can forgive, you can extend grace, you can show mercy, you can have compassion, and you can be loyal to a relationship despite the offences that may come. This is an important subject for us to cover, because if you cannot love the person that you can see, and you are so quick to destroy relationships, how can you really love Me that you cannot see?

Mercy
One of the purposes of Me coming to earth was so that the Father could take out His justice on Me and your sin, and yet at the same time extend you mercy. To be merciful is to extend compassion and favour to a person that might not be deserving of such actions according to man's standards. To let a person get away with sin, to excuse a person and forgive them, when you could judge them, condemn them and not forgive them is an act of mercy. And that is how I want you to behave.
On earth when I walked, people mocked Me all the time. Many people were rude to Me, especially in My home town. I acted with grace, healed the sick, taught those that wanted to be taught and forgave every offence that was given to Me. My life was poured out as Paul would put it, as a drink offering. My death on the cross, was facilitated so that God, My Father could show you mercy. It wasn't just at the cross I showed people mercy, it was every day in the heat of the day, that I gave of Myself and healed the sick and fed the hungry. You may think I just turned bread loaves into basketfuls for the 4000 and the 5000 men, but multiplication happened so often in my ministry that they were the only accounts the Gospel writers cared to mention. I had compassion on all men and women, I showed people My love and acted favourably toward all men.
Why should you only treat people nice that treat you well. Don't people who have been showed little love, who have deep wounds and act out deserve your mercy too? Shouldn't all people, no matter what they believe be able to access My love through you? Should you only be nice to those that you feel deserve it, or should you be twice as nice to those peoples lives that are a little rough around the edges? When I called you to be My disciple, I called you to a life of love and dedication and that includes showing mercy to people.

Kindness
Being kind to people is a really good thing. No matter who a person is, no matter what their background people respond in a good way to kindness. Sure, some people people may be suspicious of you and your motives initially when you are kind toward them without reason. But most people will respond to love and kindness over time. Kindness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that opens doors to people's hearts. Think back to a time when someone was kind toward you. Is that a good memory for you?
When I walked earth, I had the love of My Father in My heart. The Holy Spirit led Me, and over time as I grew up I had all the fruit of the Spirit grow in My life. When I moved in kindness and love it really opened doors in people's hearts for them to hear the Living Word. I was naturally kind with every person that I met. Even the religious leaders that I met were treated with kindness and grace in My every meeting with them. I honored all people with My love, no matter what they thought of Me.
Sometimes people resist the work of the Holy Spirit. To be kind toward all people, you really need to have love for all people. You need to have a heart makeover. It's through an understanding of all people, and a heart of Mine that you can be kind to all people. It is possible to change if you can't see yourself being kind to every person that you meet. If your a person that judges people depending on how they present to you and their background, then you may find it a challenge to be kind to all people. It is my prayer that you would open your heart to My Holy Spirit and change your heart and be open to Us loving people through you.

Compassion
The day I heard that John the Baptist had died Scripture records that I withdrew to a quite place with my disciples in a boat. When Our boat landed, a big crowd gathered and came to Us. Scripture records that I had compassion on them and healed all their sick. You are later to find out that there were five thousand men, with women and children in the crowd. Can you imagine getting five thousand men today and their wives, children and other single women, and healing all the sick people in a crowd like that? Can you imagine out of twelve thousand people today, the people that might be sick and need some sort of healing? It wasn't just ten minutes that I took, it took me hours to heal those people. That was done on one of my saddest days, and after I healed, preached, and fed them with a miracle I sent them all away climbed a hill and wept to My Father.
On earth My life was marked with compassion. When people looked into My eyes, they saw love and compassion. When people came with a need, they left with it being fixed. No one that came to Us for money left empty handed. No one with a need left without that need being addressed. Today people come to churches, they are asked for money and they leave without their needs being met. In My day We did amazing things with the people. It all flowed from My heart to the people. I was graced with a deep compassion for the people. I had such a big heart for people and I still do. I still intercede for you in Heaven.
If you are going to do great works on earth, you need to ask Me to build your compassion in your life. When you have compassion you don't have the excuses that you may have when it comes to helping people. When you have compassion you find spiritual resources within yourself do do amazing things. When you walk in love, with a life that is laid down, and you walk with compassion, then many people with real needs get blessed and go on to thank God for your mercy to them. You don't even need to lead a person in a sinners prayer when you bless them, simply love and use your compassion and let My Holy Spirit minister to them and bring them a witness that God is with you. I pray right now that you would be open to moving in more compassion in future and that My Father would fill your heart with it.

Love
Greater love has no man then to lay down his life for another is something that I said between the Last Supper and my arrest. Many people assume that this verse is about laying ones life down for another person. Most people know that they will never be called to lose their life to save another person, so many people dismiss this verse and don't think about it. But I have called you to lay your whole life down for others. I have called you to a greater form of love than that is normal for the world. I have called you to sacrificial love. I have called you to radical love, one that sees you putting other peoples needs before your own
When I was on earth My whole life was laid down. My will was to do the will of the Father and My Father had me lay down my life for others. Each day, whilst in ministry My life was poured out like a drink offering. People that met Me were constantly surprised at my level of love for them, a stranger to Me. I gave and gave and gave. Every need that was presented to Me was dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. I came as a servant to all and was not busy making a big name for Myself. I loved people in a wholesome and complete way. I did not say things to simply make people feel good about themselves, I said things that people needed to hear, things that if they took note of and obeyed, would produce lasting fruit in their lives. I said things that were comforting and I said some hard things to people. I simply used my love to bring about change in peoples lives.
Today, I am calling you to live a life that is full of love. Today I am asking you to be aware of peoples needs and take the time to address them. I don't want you to love people with mere words, but I want you to love people in words and in action. Sometimes people post on Facebook that they have a need, with a Go Fund Me account. Love is not just reading that, love is asking yourself if you can a afford some money for them and giving toward that need. If you have your eyes and ears open there are many opportunities to exercise heartfelt love to people. It really comes down to your attitude. Are you going to lay down your own life and desires and put others before yourself? As you read this, I am sure that you can see that your life can change and become more loving. Be that person that I want you to be! I love you and so sometimes I say hard things to you.

Joy in the Journey
Do you know when you can effect eternity, and you know what good works you are called and designed to do, and you start to do them, and start to see their effect on people and on Me, that you can find real joy in your journey in life? Would you like to live a life that is filled with purpose? Would you like to live a life where you do not just live, but you are really living up to your full potential? How would you like to be told by Me each week that I am proud of you and that you are doing everything that I have called you to do? How would you like to have your life filled with joy instead of boredom and frsustrations?
I lived a life where I knew everything I was had eternal purposes. I lived every day in ministry doing great works. I lived with great joy. I was centered, emotionally stable and I was a powerful force in the world in which I lived. I did nothing with half measure, and whilst things could bring sadness to Me, I was constantly giving My burdens over to God and being refilled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. My life shone. My face shone. I had a presence on My life that people two hundred metres away from Me with their backs to Me could "feel" Me coming. My joy was overpowering to people. My smile was like the sun breaking out from behind clouds. People that encountered My personality knew that I had something that they wanted.
The Christian life was not created to be a drudgery. When I died on the cross, I was meant to take your burdens. You can find your purpose in eternity and you can find the good works that you were created to do, and you can live that life with purpose with great joy in your journey. Even if you are assailed with depression and witchcraft attacks, you can still have joy in your trials or James wouldn't have written about it. I want to see your joy shining like the sunshine. I want to see your face smiling. I want to see your life healed and you operating out of a position of faith and love for all people. Yes , you too can have joy in the journey.

Good Works
Do you know that every person that is born again into the family of the church was created to do good works, and that those good works were planned by God before the foundation of the world. Do you know that We have good works for you to do and participate in? Do you know that life is a whole to more than just being saved, and that We have a purpose for you being saved? Do you know that We can have you do exceedingly and abundantly more than you can even ask for or think? Do you know that you have the seeds of greatness in you? Do you know that We have so much for you to do and experience? Do you know that you can be used powerfully to effect peoples lives?
When I came to earth My life's purpose had been prophesied. My life on earth was a real test for Me and I passed the test. Do you know that I did everything that My Father wanted Me to do? Do you know that every single thing I did was planned by My Father? Do you know that not one word from My mouth was unplanned by God? People think I rebuked the Pharisees but when you understand that everything that I said was ordered by My Father you will understand that even that rebuke came from God. I went all around Israel doing great works, speaking, healing, giving alms to the poor, and everything that I did and everything that I refused to do was ordered by My Father. Oh yes, there were things that I refused to do that offended people who thought they were important and there were things that I did do that offended people.
Do you know that when you go about doing good works that even non believers will love and respect you? You too, when led by the Holy Spirit will manage to offend people. You have many things that you can do. You can learn to hear from Me, and then you can learn to share messages with others through prophecies. You can learn to hear from Me, then you can write a book like this and bless many people. You can do all sorts of good works that God has planned for your life. You don't have to do something strange, yet you can even be given the grace to do something strange. You can do great things. If only you will seek Me and ask Me what I want you to do.

Eternity
Have you ever considered what you will do for eternity? Have you ever thought about what effect your life on earth is going to have on this earth now and for eternity. Have you ever thought what you will do in Heaven? Do you ever consider the rewards that are laid up for those people according to their works on earth? Have you got a mind for things that are going to be around when you have passed on from his life? I say again, have you got thoughts for the effect that your life is going to have on this earth and passion on into eternity?
My life on earth was more than just speaking, healing and dying on a cross. My life on earth was not just for the people of that day, but it was for people that live right now. My life on earth was for you dear reader. My life was an example of how I want you to live on earth. I did not just live for the day that I was in, My life was for you today. I lived with eternity in mind and I still live that way. As I taught, I shared ideas that would effect my followers so that they would make an impact when I was gone. As I spoke, I knew that some of My words would be recorded one day for people to read. I did not just live for My current generation. I lived and did all that I did with eternity in mind.
You can live for just today and this months bills. You can live for each weeks church service, you can live for your husband or wife. You can live for your children or you can think of how you can live to affect people for eternity? How could you effect people for eternity? How could you do that? You could change a person's life with one book. One book that had a radical effect on Matthew was called
My life on earth was more than just speaking, healing and dying on a cross. My life on earth was not just for the people of that day, but it was for people that live right now. My life on earth was for you dear reader. My life was an example of how I want you to live on earth. I did not just live for the day that I was in, My life was for you today. I lived with eternity in mind and I still live that way. As I taught, I shared ideas that would effect my followers so that they would make an impact when I was gone. As I spoke, I knew that some of My words would be recorded one day for people to read. I did not just live for My current generation. I lived and did all that I did with eternity in mind.

You can live for your children or you can think of how you can live to affect people for eternity? How could you effect people for eternity? How could you do that? You could change a person's life with one book. One book that had a radical effect on Matthew was called
My Craziest Adventures With God - Volume 2: The Spiritual Journal of a Former Atheist Paramedic. That book showed Matthew that even a normal person can be used to heal others. The person who wrote it wasn't a preacher or evangelist but just a regular guy who learned with the Holy Spirit's help how to heal. You too can read a good book and give it to a person and change their life. Think about making your mark on eternity.

Introduction by Jesus
The world you live in is a world that is moving faster and as technology advances year after year, the struggles of life are not getting easier because of it. Today people sit on trains and search Facebook and send messages and people don't talk to each other. Life in your world is complex, but I have not changed through time. As a good teacher, I can use any spokesman that can hear My voice, and I can use words that relate to the modern world.
Come with me as we look at some fundamentals in the spiritual life that is found in My Kingdom. Matthew wrote this book in 23 sittings. 22 times he sat down with a coffee and I dictated 3 messages to him one after the other in about 45 minutes. He knew the book was finished when he sat down on the 23'rd day and only one message came forth. With one more chapter then the number of books of the Bible, it is 67 chapters signifying the year Matthew was born in 1967.
I long to speak to all people though the My voice. I long to have all My people train themselves to hear My voice through all of life's clutter. To those people who cannot hear My voice and have not trained themselves to hear it, books like this one can be of great comfort. These kind of books are Matthew's favourite and he has collected quite a number of them by the author Adam Houge. Adam also has books to train you how to hear My voice. It was after finding the book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young that I inspired Matthew to start a book of his own for Me.
Each day Matthew put worship music on, made an iced coffee, and as he stirred his coffee I would give him the name of the first topic of the day. As soon as he finished the first post and had posted it on the blogger blog, the second subject came and he would be typing away. After a few initial posts he came across a format that would be adopted for most of the posts where in the middle paragraph I would talk about my life on earth as it related to the topic being covered.
Much of my life in the Gospels is not covered. People know things that I did and said, but people are not aware of my inner thoughts and feelings. I endeavoured in this book, not only to speak about vital subjects but also give the reader an extra-biblical look into My life on earth. I am aware that this book will receive negative reviews as much as what I say in this book about My life cannot be substantiated by the words in the Bible.
I am a God-man who wants to draw close to you. In this book, I endeavoured to show you more about My life whilst speaking about helpful subjects for spirituality. The book has been proof read, but the words in this book have not been polished by an editor. It is not to say that an editor could make Me sound better, but as an editor how would you like the task of editing Jesus' words? If you are not happy with the quality of writing style, know that this was the ability of Matthew to get My words down on the page.
I am a God that wants to be with you in every part of your life. When I gave Matthew subjects to write about and hear my voice on, they were all topics that Matthew had some knowledge on. I have commissioned him to write a second book called Going Deeper with Jesus where he will cover the same subjects as this book, but he will be the one speaking about them.
It is My hearts desire that My sheep hear My voice for themselves. The Bible is good and profitable, books like "Jesus Calling" are profitable and helpful, but I want to speak to all My people heart to heart. I am moving authors today who can hear from Me to write books teaching people how to hear from Me. I don't want to be a God that is distant but I want to be a God that can be with you and guide you in every decision that you make.
Check out Adam Houge for a book on how to hear from Me. Check his book out in which I speak. Check out Jesus Calling. Check out books by prophetic people that hear from Me. But most of all learn how to hear me speak to you.
Love Jesus/The Messiah and Savior of the world.

My Vision so far
My vision
Habakkuk 2:2-3
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
I was told through prophetic words twice in one week to write down my vision for the future. I have now sat down to try and put it into words.
I want to grow in knowledge and come to a right understanding between the grace of God and the Law side of God. I want to be balanced when it comes to this and I want to write a book on it, a book of balance.
I want to have the hunger for the Word again that I used to have. I want to know the Word and walk in the Word
I want to gain the faith to heal people and see people healed that I pray for.
I want to find a wife. One that loves me for who I am and supports me and my ministry that I am called to.
I want to have finances that will allow me to publish books as fast as I write them.
I want to grow in my wisdom, knowledge and understanding and be able to pass that Knowledge on through written works.
I want to be invited to speak in churches and have the ability to spark growth in people that I speak to.
I want to run prophetic training schools and train and equip normal people to hear the voice of God and to prophesy.
I want to learn how to carry revival and move in signs and wonders.
I want to be a person that carries glory and demonstrates the glory of Jesus to people
I want to write books that become bestsellers in their topic on Amazon.
I want to have a blog read by thousands and my books to become popular.
I want to lead people out of bondage and into new life.
I want to be free of bondage in my own life.
I want to go to the nations with my wife and see people changed and set on fire.
I want to steward a real outpouring and revival in my city
I want to spark revivals in cities that I go to.
I want Jesus to possess me and for everyone that I encounter feel Him and see Him in me.
And this list of things will increase

Back Cover
It takes tremendous courage and honor to live up to what being a true Christian is all about. You have to be consistent in your thoughts, words and actions towards others. However, there are so many challenges and hurdles in your journey that sometimes, it feels like you are alone and have no one to turn to. The burdens can be so heavy that you may feel like giving up.
Do you want to be close to Jesus, lay your hardships at His feet and feel Him speak to you each and every day? The words in this book will light a fire in your heart and let you enter a world where you can communicate with Jesus and develop an intimate relationship with Him. Let Jesus lead you in an exciting journey to becoming the Christian that you were always meant to be; one who is secure in the knowledge that He is directing you in every step and one who has absolute trust in His love.
Jesus has so much love for us and we can be His tools; His voice in this world for the people who are walking in darkness and waiting for someone to take their hands and guide them as Jesus guides you. Glorify Him with your achievements, use the tools given to you and you will find fulfilment in a rich and rewarding life.

Introduction to Jesus Speaking Today
This book is one of my favourite types of books. I have read about ten books like this, so when the Holy Spirit put it on my heart to write this book I was very happy. I had just bought the book Jesus Calling by Sarah Jones and I was really blessed by it when I started this book. To me, books like that are up there with the Bible.
I have had a life that has seen much sin and darkness. The story in the Bible where the lady washes Jesus feet with her tears and puts expensive perfume on them is one of my favourite in the Bible. Jesus says that a person that has been forgiven much loves much. I am one of those people that have been forgiven much.
Jesus has been in my life for forty years now and for over twenty of them He has been speaking in clear sentences to me. I now speak to Jesus in conversations back and forth. Only when I pray for other people do I pray like most people. Most of the time I have a two-way conversation with Jesus and His Father. I discuss things and ask questions and Jesus answers them for me.
Most of my days are directed by the Holy Spirit. Each day the Holy Spirit leads me what to do. Even when I am watching Television the Spirit of God is with Me and Jesus often comments. Jesus is everything to me and I walk very close to Him and His will for my life.
Each time I set out to do a book, the Holy Spirit leads me what to call it and helps me write it. Sure, my personality comes out in each book, even with Jesus speaking though me, you will find the topics are on themes I already know quite a bit about.
Other books like this book, that have Jesus speaking have scripture verses after each post. I feel the authors of these books know scriptures was more than me and have done a lot of research to find verses to back up what Jesus had said. I decided that to do that in my book would cause me too much stress. It is my prayer that you can read this with a child-like faith and simply measure everything by your own spirit. As we are commended to do with prophecy in the Bible I would admonish you to keep what is good and put aside anything that you don't accept.
As a prophet, who has brought over 15,000 personal prophecies to people I am sure when Jesus is speaking through me. As I wrote this book I looked forward to each session as I used to get filled with the presence of God. I was overcome with peace and joy as I wrote what Jesus dictated. Whilst some of what is written could have come from my flesh, it is my belief that Jesus dictated these posts.
We are told to test things by the standard of the Word. When Jesus speaks about his life on earth in mosts of these posts, much of what He says cannot be tested by scripture. Much of this is extra-biblical. This is where having child-like faith is needed.
It is my prayer you will be blessed and touched by these 67 messages. By the way, I stopped at 67 as it was the year of my birth in 1967.
Yours in Christ
Matthew Robert Payne
