The god of romance, of physical love, of wanting to be lovedinstead of giving love is the one that has threatened to take Myplace in My children’s lives more than any other god, and oftenhe has succeeded, resulting in an empty, dissatisfied life of onewho has missed My highest calling & will for their life. Bewareof making an idol out of any human!Addiction to a human being can be one of the worst kind. It isan abomination in My sight for any of My children to make agod out of anything or anyone else but Me.I want to be the fulfillment of all your dreams. Your happiness isMy goal, for that happiness will rub off on others.‘That’s selfish!’ The Devil says. ‘He just wants everybody tolove Him!’ Yeah, so what? Who doesn’t? At least they’re alwaysgoing to get love in return, and more, much more than theycould ever give, while he’s got nothing to give except for fleeting selfish pleasures & momentary delights; cheapcounterfeits of My true happiness. The Devil is the greatestparty pooper of all times. You have got so much more than he’s got to offer, becausewhat you’ve got is
real
! It’s lasting! It’s alive, and grows &multiplies & never stops! His version is as temporal as thekicks you can buy with paper money, which will always beworth less tomorrow than it was today, and woe when the fireof testing comes!‘Praise is the voice of faith’, and the opposite is also true:cursing is the voice of unbelief, it’s the ultimate statement that Iam not in control, it’s the life-blood & breath of murmuring, theepitome & manifestation of thanklessness & ingratitude!Trust that I can satisfy you fully. Don’t let the Enemy get your focus on the hole in the doughnut & on all that you think you’relacking & missing out on, when you’re so richly blessed!There is a great danger in not recognizing & appreciating Myblessings, for usually the only way for Me to make youappreciate & acknowledge them if you’re unable to
see
them, isby withdrawing them & making you see them by the
lack
of them when they’re gone.Gratitude & thanking & praising Me is so important & such apositive force. Rebuke the Devil when he tempts you to stare atthe vacuum, the emptiness, the deep black hole in the middle,that black hole of your desires. Look at Me instead, the greatGiver & Filler of all things, & praise Me for all I have given youalready – even if you can’t see it. But if you praise Me for it byfaith, I will make it visible to you. I will let you see your blessings, which the Devil has been trying to hide from youwith that shroud of self-pity, of comparing by making someoneelse’s blessings look so much bigger than yours...The Enemy was dealing with Me & said, ‘Sure they’re all goingto serve You with the fear in their necks that this world is goingto pot soon. But give them a little more time & they’ll all fall for me, You’ll see!’ And so, I had to grant him more time, I had togrant him the ability to display even greater temptations thanever before, make his matrix look more appealing, moreattractive than ever before with all its glittering & shiny toys &distractions & enticements. I had to let him make Me & Myprophets look like fools to have been predicting an earlier doom, and now... It’s true, many have fallen by the wayside &have given in to the attraction & the lure. Many have beenhypnotized by his sirens & have fallen asleep with the fumes of his opiates.But I will raise them up again, and you can be there to helpthem up. To show them you’ve been waiting for them. Yes, itmay still look like the Devil is winning, but not for much longer.Those who discern the signs of the times can tell that his daysare numbered.The Devil may stand in front of you & sneer, ‘What do you thinkyou’re going to accomplish with that tiny, ridiculous flashlightof yours, in my all-surrounding darkness?’ But he only dares totry to bluff you because he knows you can’t see what
he
sees.That torch you’re wielding is a searing hot weapon that makeshis demons squeal & run, and he knows the only chance he hasof getting you to stop is to bluff you into thinking it doesn’treally amount to much after all, what you’re doing.And so, he tries to distract you with personal problems, makesthem look much bigger, more important, more relevant, thanthis ‘unimportant little light’... But, hey! Don’t let him fool you!It’s exactly the other way around: Your personal problems aretiny, unimportant & insignificant in comparison to themonumental task of flooding the Devil’s territory of darkness inMy light!Quit listening to the Devil & believing all the lies he tells youabout yourself or others.This is a war you should be able to enjoy because you’re so far superior to your enemy! He’s bluffing & lying & trying to trickyou with his magic of making everything he’s got look sooobig.But all you’ve gotta do is snip your fingers & the facadecollapses & you see the wondrous glorious reality of howthings really are, namely that I am truly in control, not he.When I return, it will be like somebody snipped their finger &the spell of the hypnotist is broken. His illusion is NOT reality.Even though there are a lot of hypnotized people out there whoare convinced that what they are seeing right now is real, your magic is much stronger than the evil magician’s, & you can freepeople from Satan’s spell & wake them up out of their trance!Refuse to let fear – his greatest trick – have any grip or power over you whatsoever! Come & get soaked in My perfect loveevery hour of every day! Let us never be apart! Let’s stayconnected! He may growl & try his scare tactics on you, or tryto weave one of his hypnotic spells of doom & dismay, but youcan zap him with the power of truth.I have given you power over Satan, and I want you to apply it!‘In the name of the keys of the kingdom we’re gonna bringSatan to his knees!’ He’s going to cower before you & whine &beg you to stop.I’m right behind you, & there’s nothing the punk can ever do toharm you. He only will keep trying if he senses that there’sdoubt in your heart. He only has power over you through anyseeds he has sown in your heart that you’ve allowed to growthere. But if your garden is clean and strong, filled with My life-giving Word, & you’re in tune with Me, he can do nothing!He only attacks when you’re weak. That’s why it’s so importantthat you stay faithful & really make Me your A No.1responsibility & focal point in life, every day!How it pains Me when My children refuse to believe in Me,
builda brick wall in the place where once there was a door to Me, adoor to simple, childlike faith & simple belief & trust in Me.Brick by brick, lie by lie, blocking Me out.Break down that wall! You can’t do it with half-hearted efforts! You’ve got to put your heart & some umph into it! Break itdown!It’s a sturdy, solid wall, held together with the mortar of manydisappointments, frozen hard with the icy winds of disbelief;another spiritual plain, another dimension, one where I don’texist, or where I am very far away, like a vague shadow of things long gone by – a fairy tale, like Santa Claus.And lo, there are many, countless in number, who live in thatsame world – one where My light never shines, but only thefake, artificial light of the usurper, Lucifer, keeps everything in agray, hazy mist... so depressing! They don’t even have the hopeof a better & brighter, more colourful world to come...!I could be the answer to all their problems, & yet, they rejectMe because of the lies they’ve been told.Do you see how important your task is? For you are so fewagainst so many! Oh, if only you had greater boldness to standup for Me in a greater, not merely defensive way. Go on theattack!The Enemy likes to operate incognito. If you would alwaysrecognize his voice as being his, you wouldn’t fall for it nearlyas often... But often his sneers come camouflaged as the voiceof ‘reason’ or as your own thoughts. He persuades you verysubtly to adopt his opinion & view of things, like a very smooth& diplomatic talker, who manages to talk people into his ownview by making them think that his opinion is their own... ‘After all, this is what you have always thought, too, isn’t it? And it’svery reasonable indeed, when you think of it! You were right allalong...’ Making something sound like your own idea, when it’sactually just his perverted way of seeing things is one of hisoldest & favorite tricks!
