Performance-Based Love

Performance-based love

PERFORMANCE-BASED LOVE

Child, you have performance-based love for yourself. When you accomplish much you feel good about yourself . But when you don’t perform as you think you should, you criticize yourself. You judge yourself as a failure.

Open your eyes to see yourself as I see you. You’ve heard it said, “Love your neighbor as yourself”. My child, I say, “Be kind to yourself”.

Quit beating yourself up for your so-called failures. You’re not a failure. You are Mine. I see you as complete in My Presence. I cover you with Myself. Therefore, your so-called flaws are covered by My blood and My Holy Spirit.

As you yield yourself to Me, I’ll lead you to your victory. For I do have victory planned for you. As a matter of fact, I have victory planned for each one of Mine.

When My Spirit is invited into one’s heart, I fill their heart with My victory. Then I lead and direct each one to the victory I have planned for each one specifically. 

FEAR OF SHORTAGES

Lord, Abba Father God, I’m afraid of shortages.

Child, you’ve been caught up in fear. Preparation is good, but fear? No, fear is destructive.  Child, as you seek My wisdom, I will lead you. 

But you must seek My voice and listen. Cut out some of that endless noise of media and listen carefully for My voice speaking to your heart. Remember I spoke to Elijah in a small, still voice. I never yell or scream.

Child, this is your word for today. “Listen, trust, and obey.” Focus on that. Then watch and see what I will do. And let go of your performance-based love, both for yourself and others. 

Yes Sir. Help my unbelief. Increase my faith, especially my faith in You. And help me to let go of my performance-based love, both of myself and others too.

FEED ON THIS

Become one with Him, no longer counting on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God’s laws, but by trusting Christ to save me; for God’s way of making us right with Himself depends on faith – counting on Christ alone. Philippians 3:9 TLB

For every child of God can obey Him, defeating sin and evil pleasure by trusting Christ to help him. 1John 5:4 TLB

For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ!           Ephesians 2:8 TPT

You Chose Another

You chose another.
You chose another. But My child, choose My Presence instead.

Child, you chose another. But you could have had My Presence last night. My child, I want you. Choose Me.

I’ve called you to a higher purpose other than to listen to others and eat your treats.

You could have had Me, but instead you chose another.

Oh Lord, I feel like such a failure.

You’re never a failure. Instead, you’re a lesson.

Child, you’re learning with new learning everyday and I want to teach you. It’s not your “to do” list. It’s not the voice of others . But it is I who will take you into your victory.

Victory is not getting it all done. Victory IS My Presence. I gave you a way out when your friend called. But you ate your snack afterwards.

Child, when you’re looking in the refrigerator or the cabinet for something to eat, what you’re really craving is My Presence.

My Lord.

You could’ve come to Me. But you chose another.

Oh Lord, I’m so messed up.

You chose another.
Choose My Presence, for I AM peace.

Child, come to Me and I will heal you. I’ll heal you both inside and out. It’s the inside of you, your spirit that determines your behavior and your actions.

Lord, help me.

Child, your mind is on too many different things. And you have much confusion, anxiety, fear, and busywork. You strive to get it all done. The highest call you have is stay in My Presence. That’s your highest calling, not your job, not your housework, and not your hobbies.

Instead, I’m your highest calling. Your attention is on too many different things. I want your focus on My Presence. Seek Me and I will supply for all your needs. You stress unnecessarily over many things.

You chose another. But I will lead you to your victory.
You chose another. But it is I who will lead you to your victory.

Child, as long as you have My Presence, you’ll have My peace. Have no worries for I’m holding you in My hands. . . And as is My will. . . It will be done.

Remember back when you used to snatch times, different times in your day to talk to Me? Do that again. Do it again.

You need Me. You need My Presence to direct you. Satan desires to destroy your future and the influence you have on others. But I will overcome. Now come to Me to a higher place of victory.

No longer walk in defeat for I have plans for you a hope and a future, not to harm you, but to prosper you.

I Am Your Deliverer

 

I am your Deliverer
I am your Deliverer.

My Child, look to Me. For I am your Deliverer

Lord, I was stupid. Yes, I was stupid. Yesterday I ate it all and more, I remember a time when I could just eat small amounts and be satisfied.

But now Lord, I don’t know what to do anymore.

My Child, focus on Me. Seek My Presence and I will lead you to your victory. 

So Lord, how do I get this extra weight off? Continue reading I Am Your Deliverer

A New Day Of Victory

 

A New Day of Victory

Today is a new day for you, a new day of victory.

But Lord, I binged last night.

Yes Child, I saw the whole thing. And it made Me sad for you. It makes Me sad when I watch as My children give up and are defeated.

A new day of victory
“Victory is yours”, says the Lord.

In spite of my failures Lord, I do want to help others.

Then Child, do what you know is right. If you stay true to what you know. Then I will bless you to help others. 

Lord, is this food shortage for real?

Yes, My Child. This baby formula was a test. In fact, it is the beginning. 

My Lord, can they be defeated?

A new day of victory
Dance and rejoice for your victory is here. Victory in Jesus.

Yes, Child. I have arranged their defeat, for I will win. Always, I AM the winner.

Lord, am I a fake?

No, My Child. Instead, you are truly a struggler. 

So how can I win?

Through My Presence and My power.

But Lord, what can I do? What do You want me to do?

Child, I want you to listen to My words. Especially listen with open ears. Then obey as I lead you. 

Also Lord, how can I contribute to help others unless I make more income?

My Child, don’t you know how I helped Jacob and many others during a famine? Do you not think I can help you? 

Child, I want your mind clear from all other voices. Because I want to speak to you Myself with My own words of encouragement. 

Lord, is my time of success over? Did I let it go?

No My Child, you lost some time. But it’s not over until I say it’s over. 

So Lord. what do I do?

Come to Me. Give Me your dreams.

Is it too late for me? Am I too old?

Child, I’m going to turn your life all around. Do you expect blessings to come to you?

Lord, I remember my Dad saying, “Pay your tithes and God will bless you.”

Yes My Child, I am blessing you. I am your sponsor and your coach. And I will lead you and teach you. Hasn’t it always been that way? 

Yes Sir.  Healing Begins Today

I’ve helped you all these years. So come to Me now. 

Yes Sir. Lord, what do I do? What do You want me to do?

In spite of what you feel or think, today is a new day for you. It’s a new day of victory.

So Lord, what do I do?

Rejoice for your victory is at hand.  In fact I’m turning all things around, even for you too. Today is a new day for you, a new day of victory.

However, victory comes through struggles. So whatever happens, keep your faith. Never give up.

Lord, at times I think I need a more powerful church.

 My Child, you are exactly where I put you.

Come To Me, My Child

Come to Me My Child

Come to Me first, My child, above all else and above all others. You’re listening to many others hoping they’ll say something to encourage you with hope.

But I want you to come to Me first and seek My words for your encouragement.

My child, it is I who gives wisdom and victory. It is I who give directions to those who are winners. And if you will seek My wisdom, I’ll lead you to your victory too.

Also My child, your debt is too fat. If you seek My wisdom, I’ll help you defeat that too.

For I am the winner above all else and above all others. Therefore if you come to Me and seek My wisdom, I’ll lead you to your victory. In fact, I will make you into a winner too.

So come to Me first above all else and all others for I am the Champion Winner. I am your source, I am your provider, and I am your winner. All who come to Me, I re-create into winners.

 

So come to Me, My child. Surrender, give yourself to Me. Seek My wisdom and follow My instructions. Then watch and see what I do with Your life.

Yes Sir. Lord, forgive me for all my diversions, for choosing my own way, and for seeking the words of others for encouragement. Forgive me Lord for I have failed in many ways.

But My child, you are Mine and none of Mine are failures. All of Mine are learners. You are a learner too. THEREFORE YOU ARE NEVER A FAILURE. But you are always a lesson. In fact you are My learner.

Now come to Me, come into My Presence and learn from Me, not others for they are only learners themselves. They are learning from Me.

So allow Me to teach you and then you can learn from Me. Seek My words, not the words of others.

Yes Sir. Thank you for taking your time to speak with me.

Child, it is My pleasure. I love you and I enjoy speaking to those I love.

HIS WORDS FOR WISDOM

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 NKJV

Sidetracked and Distracted

Sidetracked and distracted

Lord, I got sidetracked and distracted again. Also it seems I pray the same prayers and sing the same songs over and over. Meanwhile, I’m working so hard to get all this “to do” list done. But I can’t seem to finish it. Help me find Your will.

Meanwhile I’ve tried to work this program successfully. But occasionally, I messed up and fell on my face. Sometimes I fell in the feeding trough, only to emerge bloated and defeated. Help me find Your will.

Lord, it seems like it’s been a long time since I was overwhelmed by Your Presence. I’ve left You out, because everything else has me sidetracked and distracted.

Can You help me overcome this confusion and live a victorious life, full of Your Presence with joy and peace? Lord, I have no answers. And it seems I’m always busy, too busy for any joy in my life.Just Enjoy My Presence

My Child, seek My voice. Seek My Presence for I am your answer. No program can replace My power in your life. But as you come to Me, I will help you. Because it’s always been My intent to give you victory.

Child, I want you totally dependent on Me. Surrender your will and allow Me to guide your every step, your every word, and your every bite. Therein, you will have your victory.

Lord, I have so many dreams, thoughts, and plans. Because I get sidetracked and distracted, none are completed. I just go through my day busy as I can be. So busy, busy all the time. How can I get it all done?

First of all, My Child, focus on Me, seek My voice and seek My will for every moment of your day. Remember when you used to focus on My Presence even when you were in meetings. I was always there by your side. You knew I was with you then.

 Your plans are of no avail, just busy work. You’ve been running and running through your life. I’ve been calling on your heart. But you’ve focused more on your “to do” list versus seeking My Presence.

Oh Lord, please forgive me. In the evenings, exhaustion comes. Then I forget Your words of victory. So it’s easy to slip into my old habits of snacking until I fall asleep in my chair. Sidetracked and distracted

Child, know I am with you. I will lead you as you surrender to Me your life and your will. As you seek Me, I will lead you one day at a time, one moment at a time. When you are weak and tired, go to bed. Before you close your eyes, praise Me for your victories.

My Child, My plans for you are victory. They are not for your busyness. In fact, it is in your returning and resting in My Presence that will bring your victory over all.

Feed On This

For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” . . . Isaiah 30:16 NKJV

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says r back from your captivity. . . . Jeremiah 29: 11-14 NKJV

Be strong in the Lord
There are no perfect people, but God has already planned for your victory.

God of Mercy

Child, I’m a God of mercy, not a God of performance. Remember, I want your heart, and your love, not your performance. I’m not looking for perfection. Instead, I’m looking for a yielded, love-filled heart.
