Is this a true message from God???
Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2016 10:53 pm
Hello,
I'm not sure who to address this email to, but you folks seem to have a Godly discernment about false teachers and such. I was wondering if you could discern whether or not the lengthy following set of so-called Godly messages are genuinely from God or ??? It is my understanding that there are only seven messages and they were given to a certain individual who does seem to be a Christian, but is not well-known or a leader in a church and that these messages occurred between 1995-2013 and that the numerous titles were added for the ease of themes.
I realize the messages below make for a long email and I am in no hurry for an answer, but I could really use some help in determining whether I should disregard this compiled message or consider it worth regarding.
Again, no hurry,
God Bless your ministry,
Greg Bradley Here is the message:
INTRODUCTION
"You who ask Me to speak to you, so be it.
I now speak plainly
to those who are truly willing to hear from Me.
My dear children,
I have longed for this day
to speak to you in this manner.
Do not regard my servant who shares this with you
as anyone special.
He is what he is to Me
and to you, he is your brother.
Today, I shall speak plainly to you
as I have not done in times past.
You have gone your ways a long time.
Now, I shall tell you of my ways.
Put aside your plans.
Put aside the plans that you have fully invested yourselves into,
thinking that you are pleasing Me.
If you can stop your scurrying long enough to really listen,
then you will hear Me
and the power of My presence shall fill you.
I will tell you about My plan.
The plan that I made before I made the Earth.
The plan that from the beginning has not changed.
So many times I would speak with you,
but you were not willing to listen to Me.
So many times I have seen you suffer,
but you would not turn to Me.
How often you have called out to Me,
but because you did not feel My presence immediately,
you turned away to be swallowed in your grief.
I have never abandoned you
in your times of trouble.
Am I to be blamed for your sorrows?
Do I deserve to be cursed in your anger?
How little time you have given Me
to connect with you.
Take the time to connect with Me.
You will see My Goodness.
INVITATION
Come to Me often and let us talk.
I am not far away.
I am always with you.
Even when you close your prayers,
I am still with you.
Come to Me and pour out your concerns before Me.
When you release what you are holding
you have made room for deliverance and healing.
Do not be afraid.
If you are angry, tell Me about it.
I will not be offended by any words you might use.
I have seen and heard everything a man can do.
If you are in pain about anything,
lay it out before Me.
My desire is that you would open yourself before Me
so you may see My Goodness and receive It.
Consider, if you are deceitful with your own soul,
then how can you see anything I wish to show you?
Therefore, come to Me in total honesty.
Even if you are honestly angry with Me,
tell Me about it.
Do not be afraid.
I will answer you in Love.
If there is something you desire,
tell Me about it.
Tell Me how you feel about things
and if you are willing to listen to Me,
I will show you My Kingdom.
You are My child.
Come to Me about anything
for I Love you.
MANKIND
What is this creature I have made called man?
You compromise so much in your desire
to be accepted by other people.
You live for the lust in your heart.
From your lust, you form your relationships.
You make promises to show your sincerity,
but when the lust diminishes,
you break your promises.
And when you are the one who is rejected,
you allow the pain to overwhelm you.
You desire to be Loved,
but you will not open your heart
to receiving My Love.
You would rather walk in fear,
rather cater to your lust,
and rather seek after worldly possessions,
then be healed and walk in the strength of My Love.
I know about your disappointments,
and how they have led you to be brokenhearted,
discouraged and downtrodden.
I have never ceased Loving you.
If only you could see how precious you are to Me.
If only you would let Me touch you with My Love.
Come to Me as a little child.
If you come to Me in pain,
shall I not heal you?
If you come to Me in earnestness,
shall I not comfort you?
Come to Me with no reservations
and you will feel the Love I have for you.
You will feel Me in every fiber of your being.
When you allow this to happen,
then you will Know that
I AM God
and I shall be your strength
and you shall be children of Light
and Life.
LIGHT
Hear Me, My children:
I AM the Light within you.
No darkness can fill your heart
while I AM in your heart.
Hold Me in your heart
so you may stand
and have no fear of man or circumstances.
You who have yet to hold Me in your heart,
lay down your excuses.
Today, if you will hold Me in your heart,
I will show you that
I AM the One who is Good.
Lay down your will
that you may open your heart to Me
and you will see that
I AM the One who Loves you with True Love,
the One who can touch your very soul with Life.
Though your sorrows have been many,
the new day has arrived.
I will pour My Love upon My children
as a waterfall from Heaven.
I AM the Living Water.
Drink in what I pour upon you
that you may be strengthened,
for darkness is coming quickly
and the darkness will overshadow many.
Do not be as those who say that I am the Lord,
but then act as if I am not here.
My power is in My presence.
My power is as real as I AM.
Do not be deceived,
those who deny My power and the Life I give
are denying Me.
WARNING
To those who cannot feel My presence,
hear what I say to you:
Open your heart fully to Me
and stop standing in what you think
is your strength.
Because you are trusting more in yourselves than Me,
and as you look to your own schemes and plans
designed by your own willfulness,
you walk in fear
and are blind to the Light
that would show you the Life
that you are forsaking.
And so it is that My Love does not abound in you.
And neither does My Life abound in you.
If you love Me,
then hear this:
The time is now here.
I am ready to purge My Church.
So prepare your hearts
for loving the Truth even more than you do now.
Those who seek the Kingdom of God
must love Godly wisdom and hate worldly wisdom.
A mixture of the two is detestable to Me.
Recognize My voice.
I do not lay heavy burdens upon you.
I do not motivate you with guilt and fear.
I do not set goals for you to achieve.
I do not direct you with vain philosophies.
I do not expect you to understand all things.
I do not require you to perform to your best
or to stand in your own strength.
I AM the God who Lives in His people.
Do not strive to make a life by your own design.
I have a plan for each one's life.
Put your full trust in Me
for I Love you.
TRUST
My children, My children,
I made you
and yet you find it so hard to believe.
You question My existence
every time you suffer some loss.
Oh, your words say that you trust Me,
but I need only test those words
with the smallest pricking
and you immediately turn to your own devices for consolation.
Do you see in what it is you have placed your trust?
You like to stand in your imagery.
You groom it as though it were your hair.
You feed it as though it were your stomach.
You carry it as though it were your jewelry.
And all for what?
To be accepted? To be loved? To receive things?
Who among you is not guilty of this?
Your images are like gods to you.
You think you cannot do anything without them.
You think that if you do not control others,
you will go hungry.
You think that if you do not impress others,
you will go unloved.
I know how you like to trust in what is seen.
How quickly you grab onto anything that seems solid.
You like to trust in the things you do.
You like to trust in your knowledge of Me.
You like to trust in My provisions.
Even with all I have given to you,
how few put your trust in Me.
Those who strive to make My Will happen
do so by their own reasoning,
a reasoning that will lead them to sinning against Me.
They have forgotten Who created this universe
and Who is holding it in place today.
MY GRACE
Everyday, I pour forth My Grace.
Many of you strive to please Me
thinking that you must work to deserve My Love.
When you do so, you have taken My Grace
and turned It into works.
Come rest in Me rather than your works.
Why is My Grace such a mystery?
All that I give to you is by My Grace.
Have I not made you My children?
Then, what is there to fear?
Come, receive My Love freely,
so you may understand My Grace
and receive even more of My Grace.
Do you not see what you are doing?
Look and see how your concern is with how others see you.
You seek after your own glory.
You build your lives on the praises you receive.
Your real concern is not to edify others,
but to be honored by others.
You have lifted yourselves in self-righteousness
and you are blind to it.
You stand in your own reasoning.
You analyze and theorize and make formulas.
Did I tell you to do these things?
You explain and explain and explain as if you understand,
but how little you do understand of Me.
You are so eager to run with what you think you know.
You use your knowledge like the Pharisees used the Law.
You think that in it, you have pleased Me.
Do you really know what I wish?
I wish you would take the time to listen to Me.
Do you not know that I wish to speak through all of you?
I am not a god who is afar off.
I AM the Living God, the True God.
I AM the God who Lives in His people.
I will speak through anyone who is residing in Me
and desires to speak in My Spirit.
EXAMINE YOURSELF
Are you one who thinks that you love My Goodness?
Then listen to My chastening words
so you may see clearly and not be deceived.
Until you are residing in My Love,
you must examine yourself,
otherwise you will not see how it is you resist Me.
Likewise, you must examine the path you are walking,
otherwise you will not see where your heart is aimed.
Do you think the hardness in your hearts
is any less than that of the non-believers?
Behold My children,
I gather you together in My hand
and I press My hand closed.
I ope n My hand and behold:
your arms and legs are all outstretched against Me.
I would make you one in each other,
but even this you resist.
And you who have been touched by My Spirit,
you know Me to be real and so much more.
Yet, you resist Me every time I bring you
to a new area for repentance.
And even after you change and see that it is Good,
and vow to let Me have My way with you,
still you resist My next lesson.
Do not fear My chastening.
My chastening is to help you open your eyes
so you might open your heart
to the Goodness I have prepared for you.
There is so much I wish to give you.
I AM the Good Lord.
My Gospel is the Gospel of Life.
Commit your lives to Godliness.
Do not frustrate the Will of God
by searching how you may be the lord of your own lives.
There is only one Lord and God of all.
I AM that I AM.
Release your controlling ways
so I may fill you with My Life.
THIS EARTH
Look at the Earth and see how it is in motion.
There is a time set for all things.
Do not worry as if I could forget you.
I have not forgotten you in the plan of all things.
Be patient and learn what today has to teach.
Everything I have made
was made with you in mind.
It is for you that I have set everything as it is.
So consider the purpose of your existence.
Do you want there to be a fellowship between you and Me?
It is the reason I made you.
Do not be deceived about living on the Earth.
You will suffer pains and discomforts.
They will come to you.
Your fearing will not stop them.
Your worrying cannot slow them.
Look to Me for I AM the True Comforter.
I AM the fulfillment for your souls.
My dear children,
all of you know with your intellects that I Love you
and you carry this in confidence.
But I wish for all of you to know in Spirit I Love you
so you may walk in Faith.
To you who are fearful or ashamed or burdened,
come to Me and put an end to your anxiousness.
My arms are always outstretched to you.
Receive My Peace and My Wisdom.
Ask Me to show you the Love I have for you.
I will be faithful to all who open themselves to Me.
You cannot begin to understand My Way
until you receive My Love.
If you love Me, reside in My Love.
I AM He who strengthens.
Let Me strengthen you.
DESIRES
I know your hearts are full of desires.
Sometimes you desire Good things.
But because of the impure desires in your hearts
you resist Me when I approach you.
And in your quests to try to please Me,
your impure desires lead you to draw up your own truths
thinking that you have obtained what is My Righteousness.
There are times when you come before Me with confidence
and you do well to do so.
But who is this who stands before Me and boasts?
Am I impressed?
Who is this who puts himself above others?
Is this My commandment?
Who is this who says that I am indebted to him?
Have I fallen from My throne?
From where did you learn such things?
You eagerly seek to be called Good.
But can a Good man be found anywhere?
I look far and wide. Who measures up?
Is there anyone who shows impartiality all the time?
Is there anyone who gives freely all the time?
Why is it you think that you are able to make yourselves Good?
If this were the Way, then you could impress Me,
but I am not impressed by anything man does.
Do you think that I can be fooled by your eloquent words?
You have fooled yourselves; I see your motives.
You seek to gain by your own strength.
You expect a reward by your own design.
Cease from such foolishness;
you might impress others, but I am not impressed.
Am I obligated to any of you by your reasoning?
You are deceived if you think that I am.
Have you not heard that I AM the God of Grace who gives freely?
Have I not set forth My Kingdom filled with all Good things?
Have I not made you a part of My Family?
Am I not your Good Father whose Love for you is true?
Then why do you do as the worldly ones do
and put your trust in foolish things?
Who am I to you?
CONSIDER
In spite of your weakness,
in spite of your defiance,
and in spite of your angry words against Me,
it is I who have made you and Love you.
Even so, what is this knowledge to you?
Is it in your nature to seek Truth?
And when Truth is revealed, to abide in It?
There are many with great amounts of knowledge about Me
who have failed to know Me.
Consider what has been given to you.
You have been given understandings
the world cannot comprehend.
You have been granted Power over your sinful flesh.
You have received adoption and an inheritance.
Consider what is the glory of your calling.
I have called you out to be a special people unto Myself.
You have been made different from the world's own.
You are different because My Spirit Lives in you.
I have made you priests of the Light.
I have made you rulers over darkness.
I have made you brothers and sisters of the same family.
I have made you My children.
You who are trying to make yourselves Good
and you who are trying to earn My Grace
and you who are trying to deserve My Love,
cease from such foolishness and put your trust in Me.
You who think of yourselves as believers,
stand in the Light.
Shake off the pride you have in yourselves.
Have you not heard that only God is Good?
Open your hearts to serving Goodness and not foolishness
and I will give you My perfect Peace to sustain you.
Open your hearts to My Love,
and I will show you My Wisdom.
To you who are willing to walk in My Love,
I will deliver you from your impurities.
MY LOVE & YOUR LOVE
I will give My deliverance to everyone who chooses Me.
I will hold them in My Love.
It is My Good pleasure to give to you freely
so you may receive Me with Joy.
How much I desire to show My Love for you.
Your love and My Love are not the same.
I will tell you about your love.
Your love is known by your desires.
It is created by your selfish motivations.
Your love is tainted and impure.
You defile your brothers and sisters
by the lust that is in your love.
Still, have I not called you to love Me with all of your heart?
Do you not understand My Wisdom concerning this?
Direct your selfishness toward My Goodness
and I will count it as righteousness.
As you give to Me your impure love,
I will give to you My perfect Love
which will purify your hearts toward one another.
Have I said you must become pure before receiving My Love?
It is in the receiving of My Love you are made more pure.
Listen to what I have to say about My Love.
My Love is given to you freely.
I do not expect. I do not obligate.
You are free to reject It.
Do you not know the purpose of that freedom?
It is in this freedom the true attitude of your heart is revealed.
Whoever receives My Love is able to walk in It.
Whoever does not receive My Love
is without direction and is wandering in anxiousness.
My Love is pure and is always given for your benefit.
Be open to receiving My Love
so you may understand My Will
and so My Joy may be full within you.
Walk in My Love
so you may behave with Goodness toward everyone.
FAMILY OF GOD
Be a brother if you are a brother
and be a sister if you are a sister.
I AM the Father who has made this family.
Do I not call you My children?
Then allow Me to be your Heavenly Father.
I have made you all brothers and sisters to one another.
I have fashioned all of you to be a help to one another.
So do not be afraid to question
what you do not understand
or what seems to be wrong.
Examine the purity of your hearts,
so you will not be deceived.
There is no lust in My Love.
My Love does not produce lust.
When you minister to others in My Love,
your hearts are clean
because My Love has cleansed your hearts.
I have given you My Love with which to edify one another.
My Love is truer and stronger
than the promises, the vows, and the agreements of man.
I have made you brothers and sisters in My Love.
If you will reside in My Love,
then you will understand the unity all of you may have.
But do not strive about this.
Let each one come to be One with Me.
All who are in Me are One with one another.
I AM Truth.
I AM Love.
I AM Life.
Have I not made it easy for you to come to Me?
All you need to do is give up.
Is there anything easier a man can do?
Can any man say that I made it too difficult?
This is My Wisdom.
Come let us be One and reside in My Love.
You will be fulfilled in Me.
JESUS
I sent My Son
to bring you into fellowship with Me.
He is the Chosen One.
Without Him, you do not know Me.
Only through Him are you in fellowship with Me.
He is your Mediator because of
and so that in the weakness of your flesh,
you can call upon the Lord for salvation and deliverance.
Consider what has been provided for you.
You have the Righteous One who stands ready to help you
even when you are entangled in sin.
Nothing can stand in opposition to His Love for you.
My Son is the Righteous One to walk with
and to walk with into My Presence.
Consider where you are standing this day.
Are you in fellowship with My Son?
Does He know you?
Come to know the Love I have for you.
Anyone who receives the Gift of My Grace
is able to receive My Love.
Anyone who receives My Love knows Me.
And anyone who resides in My Love is known by Me.
If you desire My Love,
then stop your wanting of It
and open yourself to receive It.
Do not hold yourself back from receiving My Love,
even if you are steeped in sin.
The power of My Love will set you free,
so receive My Love
and do not think that you must deserve It.
I give My Love to set you free.
I give My Love to purify your hearts.
I give My Love that you may have Life.
I give you My Son that you may have Life abundantly.
Let Him lead you into the abundant Life of My Kingdom.
FELLOWSHIP
You know Me to be a personal God
having called you into fellowship with Me.
Is this calling to fellowship any less personal
concerning you with your brothers and sisters?
I have created the ground for fellowshipping
among your brothers and sisters
and it is in My Spirit.
When you are not united in each other,
you think as the world does
and so fear has its grip on you.
Fear is not in My Love.
All who reside in My Love do not fear.
They walk in Love toward all their brothers and sisters.
Whoever does not see this
is not residing in My Love.
Anyone who fears is not residing in My Love.
Do you not know that you were called into My Love
so we may become One?
What good are your thoughts of salvation,
if we do not Know each other?
Your new birth is meant that you might reside in My Love,
not that you would do your works and call it My Love.
Though you deserve harsh judgment
for the many things you have done,
yet I have come to you in Love.
Do likewise to others.
Do you have a desire to be friends with the ungodly?
What union do you have?
You are in the Light. They are in darkness.
Let them step into the Light.
Do not degrade yourselves by becoming like them.
Let them step into the fellowship of My Spirit.
Therefore, enjoy being in the glory of My Kingdom.
Enjoy the fellowship you have with Me.
Enjoy the fellowship you have with your brothers and sisters.
Love your brothers and sisters
in purity and without fear
that My Joy may be full in you.
TESTIMONY
You say that I am to be glorified.
You do some feat worthy of human admiration
and then you give Me the glory.
How am I glorified?
The ungodly do the same feats.
I will tell you how I am glorified:
when you do what the ungodly do not do.
The ungodly have eyes and they see your walk.
They have ears and they overhear your conversations.
They are where I have placed them
and you are where I have placed you.
The ungodly know sincere kindness when they see it.
They know when others are at peace.
They struggle to be that way.
But for you, I have made it easy,
for you are able to walk in My Love.
If you believe, then live in Me.
Your life is your testimony to others.
I have called you to be witnesses to what I do.
Can you be a witness to anything you have not seen?
You do not need to strive to convince others of anything.
If you are convinced, then live it.
It will be evident to all who watch you.
Receive My Love so you may see
and understand My Wisdom.
Receive My Love so you may Know Me.
Then preach and teach from your witness of Me.
Do not lift yourselves above others.
Keep your speech simple
so that it might be clear to all.
Allow the Spirit to give Faith concerning the Truth you speak.
If you will walk in My Love,
I will bring men to hear of your Faith
and I will draw them to My Son Jesus.
MINISTRIES
What shall I say about your ministries?
Many of you are too concerned with searching out
the salvation of the ungodly.
Do you think that persuasive arguments
draw men to My Son Jesus?
I tell you the Truth,
if you could speak about all the Mysteries of My Kingdom,
you would not be able to persuade one man
to turn to Me.
Do not worry about your ministries or what you are to do.
Be sure of what I tell you to do
and do that and then do not worry about it.
If I tell you to go do something,
then you go,
but don't tell others to do what I've told you to do.
Your ministry is yours
and their ministries are theirs.
I commission every one as it pleases Me.
Many of you compromise yourselves before others.
You say that it is for the Gospel's sake.
You cannot fit into them
and into Me at the same time.
If you could, then I would have built My Church
on the foundation of the world
and I would have fashioned you for growth based
upon improving and perfecting your nature.
But your nature is sinful
and the world's wisdom is not like My Wisdom.
I am different,
therefore you are called to become different,
but not of yourselves,
rather by My Spirit.
Be careful you do not burden your brethren with guilt and fear
or I will pull your ministries away from you.
Be a help to one another,
for you are all working for the same goal
which is My heart's desire.
CLARITY OF TRUTH
Soon, I will visit you with the clarity of Truth.
Prepare your hearts as I shall reveal Myself to you
as I have not done in past times.
My dear ones,
do not be at odds with Me.
Those who lift themselves up above others
are blind to the Truth.
They do not see themselves as I see them.
Those who think that My Will cannot happen without them
are in danger of sinning against Me.
I will say it plainly:
you can do nothing Godly apart from Me.
If you love Me, then do not worry.
I know those who cherish Me in their hearts.
My presence comforts them.
Hear what I have to say
concerning those in your congregations:
their beliefs will be challenged by the Truth.
Their love for sin will be exposed.
Many will hide from the Light fearing the shame.
There is hope for these,
so do not look down upon them.
Love them without ceasing
because they are in bondage.
Look past the chains of their sin,
being ready to forgive them in their repentance
for their souls are precious in the Hope.
Listen carefully, My cherished ones,
Did I not say to become perfect and complete
even as I AM?
Do you not know that when you receive My Fullness,
you ARE?
PASTORS
Oh, My pastors, look and see what you have done.
You have received your credentials from man.
They hang on your wall.
And so it is you think you have done well.
You have a church building.
It is filled with followers.
And so it is you think you have done well.
Your speech is polished
and for the accomplishments that you have done,
you think highly of yourselves.
My pastors, more than anyone else,
you should know what humility is
and have a humility that would convict
the prideful to repent of their pride
just by watching you live your daily lives.
Do any of your credentials say that
you have humbled yourselves as little children
and entered My Kingdom?
Do any of them say that you are living in My Kingdom?
What do you think I see when I look at your churches?
Do you think that I am well pleased with your churches?
I have sent many to you with needs
to see how much love is in you.
They have returned to Me saying,
"There is too little love!"
If I were to speak to you about all your faults,
you could not bear what I would say.
Because you do not see your errors about Me,
I will spare you My criticism.
Instead I will show you My ways.
So, listen to Me,
and come to Know Me.
Do not be deceived,
I will hold my pastors accountable
for what they teach My children.
So, do not think that I shall not judge you by your words.
Do you think that we have a good connection?
Look and see and judge for yourselves.
Do you think that your worship services are what I seek?
Do you even understand why you are worshipping Me?
Do you think that I have an ego that needs stroking?
I do not need to hear you sing Me songs.
Instead of you trying to give to Me,
receive from Me
and live in My Spirit
and you will see that
the Loving words you speak to one another
is the sweetest music I desire to hear.
Do you think that I need to be pleased
before I will manifest miracles within your churches?
Those who strive to earn and deserve and gain from Me,
do you not see that all I give is freely offered?
When you strive, you are thinking as the world thinks.
Listen carefully,
Who can reach up and cause Me to do anything?
It is in My graciousness that I give and act.
I do not need to be pleased
before I will give or act.
But, because your striving is practiced and taught,
My children suffer and are hindered when approaching Me.
Oh My pastors, why is it so difficult for you to see
that by your efforts, My children are hindered?
I have made it easy, but you think it is hard.
You would rather it be hard,
so you can derive a vain emotional comfort
from your own efforts.
But the way you would have it,
would not bring anyone into My Spirit.
See, I have told you the Truth
and It is a mystery to many.
Listen carefully, My pastors, and gain understanding.
A prostrated body is without understanding.
I did not create you to throw your bodies down before Me.
Your worship of Me is for one purpose:
to acknowledge that I AM the source of all Goodness.
If you know this, then receive from Me.
I will say this plainly,
Stop trying to give to Me and receive My Love.
Receive from Me, first.
This is My Way!
Then you will see clearly what you can give to Me.
Listen carefully, if you can take this to heart.
Open your heart and be pliable before Me.
If you have My Love within your heart,
then stand face to face with Me.
I AM your Creator. You are My creation.
I created you to have fellowship with Me,
to be in My Kingdom
and to Live in the abundance of My Gracious Love.
Listen and Know this in your spirit:
a prostrated heart that acknowledges Me
and accepts My Spirit of Love
is one who worships Me in Spirit and Truth.
Who is it who waits upon Me to hear from Me?
I will tell you who.
The one who is truly pleasing to Me.
If you are one who can listen to My instruction, then hear Me.
Include Me in your services.
Do not circumvent Me.
Do not just pray to Me.
Give Me time to speak to you in your services.
I know the hearts of My children
and what they need to hear.
Hear My words and speak the words I give you to speak.
When you start to hear from Me,
open your heart even more.
Do not run with what you first hear
adding your own words to Mine.
Do you think that I need your words to explain Mine?
I will be in My words to minister to My children with power
and at the same time to teach you My wisdom
by you experiencing the touching of your heart by Me.
If you are not willing to be touched by Me,
then how is it you can know the hearts of others?
Can you write sermons that will meet the needs of your flock
if you do not know their hearts or My wisdom?
Stand before your congregation
and open your heart to hear from Me.
Open your heart to Know My heart
and I will well up inside you.
You will know that I AM in your heart.
My children are aching to hear My voice.
They are yearning to feel My touch.
What good is it to know things about Me
if I AM not Known?
Lead My children into Knowing Me.
Hear My words and speak the words I give you to speak.
Then you will truly Know My heart.
Then you will know My Way to leading My children into Me.
If your heart is truly open to me,
I will give you the words to speak and as I do,
I will show you My Love
so you may have complete understanding.
Without the experiencing of My Love,
you are left to your own reasoning.
Is your reasoning greater than My Love?
I will tell you plainly:
My Love is greater than all your reasoning
and strategies and plans combined.
What good is your Biblical knowledge
if you have not My Love
with which to Know My Heart?
I have called you to Know My heart,
to walk in My Love,
and to guide My children into Me.
I do not look to see if you have credentials of some sort.
I look to see if you stoop down
to give a small child a cup of refreshing water.
I look to see if it is done in true humility.
I look to see what compassion you might have for all people.
I look to see if your heart wants true fellowship with Me.
So, do not be deceived about yourselves.
It is not your churches that I will examine,
it is your hearts that I will judge.
I look to see if you desire Partnership with Me.
All who are in Partnership with Me
are One with Me.
Can you say to My face
that we are One?
If not,
then what is keeping you away from Me?
Come to Me and let us talk.
You do not need to search for Me.
I AM here!
Open yourselves to Me
and receive from Me.
Have you not heard that I AM the God who Loves
all of mankind?
If I waited for you to deserve Life,
then no man would ever enter My Kingdom.
I reach out to give Life.
It is I who have chosen you
to be born again by My Spirit.
I cherish you as My special creation.
I give you a value higher than anything else I have created.
If you aim your face toward Me,
shall I not secure you?
If you love Me with all of your heart,
shall I not hold you in My arms?
If you open yourselves to Me,
shall I not cherish you even more
and give of My Spirit
that you may Know that I cherish you?
If you are in a personal relationship with My Son,
then we have connection
and if you can feel My presence and empowering,
then you are in My Truth and have Life.
Will I abandon you if you should stumble?
No, I will pick you up and show you My wisdom.
Will I discard you if you should turn to sin?
No, I will chasten you and show you the purpose of My Love.
Why do you worry as if I am eager to send you to hell fires?
Is your heart with Me?
If so, then do not worry.
I created you for Life and to be with Me.
If you do not have the strength to walk uprightly,
then let the soulful desire of your heart be toward Me.
Do this one thing and I will set you free and strengthen you.
I created you for Life and to be with Me.
Take heed, My pastors,
I am about to shake My Church by breaking
the foundations and traditions that human wisdom has built.
I am forming a new breed of pastors born in My Love.
A new wine is coming, so prepare new wineskins.
Be glad for this new wine.
It is a wine that is pleasing to Me.
And do not harden your hearts against Me.
Do not follow in the footsteps of the Pharisees.
If you love Me, then be glad for what is about to happen.
Teach My children that entering My Kingdom is foremost.
With every song,
with every teaching,
with every word you say or write,
lead My children into My Kingdom,
but first, you enter My Kingdom
for how can you lead or guide My children
to where you have not yet been?
Do not hinder My children any longer.
Enter My kingdom and see My ways.
I am taking the strife away from you.
My ways are not of strife.
I am giving you My rest.
My ways are refreshing.
Let Me refresh you in My Kingdom
to enjoy the fellowship we can have.
I will say this plainly,
Anyone who is not in My Kingdom
is blind to My Grace and lacks the wisdom of My Love.
Do you think that Biblical knowledge
is greater than My Love?
I tell you, My Love is greater.
If you had to choose between knowing all about Me
or simply receiving My Love,
the greater is the receiving of My Love.
What more can I say to convince you who resist Me?
What makes you think that your many words are more important,
and that your judgments are clearer,
and that your efforts are more effective,
than what I can do with one simple sentence
spoken to one of My children
who is brokenhearted or downtrodden?
You who resist Me,
who am I to you?
I will tell you who I am to all of My creation:
I AM the LORD GOD.
My Pastors,
If you love Me,
then do what I now say:
Humble yourselves.
Be humble in all you do.
Open yourselves to experience the Love I have for you.
It is the only way to understand My wisdom.
Be open and pliable to Me.
Trust Me with all that I will do.
Understand My Grace.
Learn to give freely and receive freely.
Receive My Spirit and partake of My Love
that you may be empowered to Love and forgive
and Know My heart.
Cease from your efforts and rest in Me.
Enter and live in My Kingdom.
Then, feed My children with what you can taste of Me.
If you love Me, then do what I say
and I will pave your paths before your eyes
and you will see that I AM the Lord your God
who Loves you with all that I AM.
CHURCHES
My cherished children,
hear what I have to say concerning My Church.
You are My Church. I AM in you.
Open the church doors.
Open them for the poor and hungry.
Open them for the stranger to find rest.
Put forth the welcome mat.
You need not seek out the poor,
for when they hear of God's Goodness in you,
they will flock to you.
Let My Church be known as the House of Provision.
What should it matter to you if a thief walks in?
Does he not need to hear the Gospel?
Is he not in need of salvation?
And if you are willing to give,
does he need to steal?
And so what if he should steal?
If he has stolen, he has stolen from Me,
so pray for his soul
for it might be demanded that night.
Have no fear of anyone who stands before you.
I see directly into their hearts.
I know their thoughts.
I will give you the words to speak.
Even those who hate you because of Me,
do not fear them
for I AM with you.
Love them and do Good.
Whoever says he loves Me
must Love those who hate Me for I Love them.
Keep the church doors open and keep the evening's lamps lit.
Would you say to the man who is suffering
or to the woman who is hungry
to come back tomorrow at a more convenient hour?
If you would say these things to those who are in need,
then how can you say
that you know God
and that He knows you?
If you feed yourself when you are hungry,
then do likewise to Love your neighbor as yourself.
Open your services to interaction
that you may openly Love one another.
Do not strive about love.
There is no strife in My Love.
Consider the price paid for your redemption:
do not charge money for your Good works to your brethren
or else that shall be your full reward.
When you give of yourself,
I, your Heavenly father, will give of Myself to you.
So share your Good gifts.
My Kingdom does not know boundaries.
My people do not hold back My Goodness.
Wherever My people are One,
My Life shall be found in abundance.
Freely, I give.
Find your rest in Me.
Listen carefully and do not be deceived.
The evil one wants you to desire Me
for whatever a man desires,
he does not have.
I AM ever ready to touch you with My presence,
so listen to your words when you speak and sing and pray.
I AM here for you.
I AM here.
My dear, precious children,
let your walks serve as invitations to all.
Consider how easy I have made it for you.
My Fullness is available if you are open to It.
Be One with Me
and do not worry about anything
for you are in My Grace.
Be as I AM for I AM in you."

I'm not sure who to address this email to, but you folks seem to have a Godly discernment about false teachers and such. I was wondering if you could discern whether or not the lengthy following set of so-called Godly messages are genuinely from God or ??? It is my understanding that there are only seven messages and they were given to a certain individual who does seem to be a Christian, but is not well-known or a leader in a church and that these messages occurred between 1995-2013 and that the numerous titles were added for the ease of themes.
I realize the messages below make for a long email and I am in no hurry for an answer, but I could really use some help in determining whether I should disregard this compiled message or consider it worth regarding.
Again, no hurry,
God Bless your ministry,
Greg Bradley Here is the message:
INTRODUCTION
"You who ask Me to speak to you, so be it.
I now speak plainly
to those who are truly willing to hear from Me.
My dear children,
I have longed for this day
to speak to you in this manner.
Do not regard my servant who shares this with you
as anyone special.
He is what he is to Me
and to you, he is your brother.
Today, I shall speak plainly to you
as I have not done in times past.
You have gone your ways a long time.
Now, I shall tell you of my ways.
Put aside your plans.
Put aside the plans that you have fully invested yourselves into,
thinking that you are pleasing Me.
If you can stop your scurrying long enough to really listen,
then you will hear Me
and the power of My presence shall fill you.
I will tell you about My plan.
The plan that I made before I made the Earth.
The plan that from the beginning has not changed.
So many times I would speak with you,
but you were not willing to listen to Me.
So many times I have seen you suffer,
but you would not turn to Me.
How often you have called out to Me,
but because you did not feel My presence immediately,
you turned away to be swallowed in your grief.
I have never abandoned you
in your times of trouble.
Am I to be blamed for your sorrows?
Do I deserve to be cursed in your anger?
How little time you have given Me
to connect with you.
Take the time to connect with Me.
You will see My Goodness.
INVITATION
Come to Me often and let us talk.
I am not far away.
I am always with you.
Even when you close your prayers,
I am still with you.
Come to Me and pour out your concerns before Me.
When you release what you are holding
you have made room for deliverance and healing.
Do not be afraid.
If you are angry, tell Me about it.
I will not be offended by any words you might use.
I have seen and heard everything a man can do.
If you are in pain about anything,
lay it out before Me.
My desire is that you would open yourself before Me
so you may see My Goodness and receive It.
Consider, if you are deceitful with your own soul,
then how can you see anything I wish to show you?
Therefore, come to Me in total honesty.
Even if you are honestly angry with Me,
tell Me about it.
Do not be afraid.
I will answer you in Love.
If there is something you desire,
tell Me about it.
Tell Me how you feel about things
and if you are willing to listen to Me,
I will show you My Kingdom.
You are My child.
Come to Me about anything
for I Love you.
MANKIND
What is this creature I have made called man?
You compromise so much in your desire
to be accepted by other people.
You live for the lust in your heart.
From your lust, you form your relationships.
You make promises to show your sincerity,
but when the lust diminishes,
you break your promises.
And when you are the one who is rejected,
you allow the pain to overwhelm you.
You desire to be Loved,
but you will not open your heart
to receiving My Love.
You would rather walk in fear,
rather cater to your lust,
and rather seek after worldly possessions,
then be healed and walk in the strength of My Love.
I know about your disappointments,
and how they have led you to be brokenhearted,
discouraged and downtrodden.
I have never ceased Loving you.
If only you could see how precious you are to Me.
If only you would let Me touch you with My Love.
Come to Me as a little child.
If you come to Me in pain,
shall I not heal you?
If you come to Me in earnestness,
shall I not comfort you?
Come to Me with no reservations
and you will feel the Love I have for you.
You will feel Me in every fiber of your being.
When you allow this to happen,
then you will Know that
I AM God
and I shall be your strength
and you shall be children of Light
and Life.
LIGHT
Hear Me, My children:
I AM the Light within you.
No darkness can fill your heart
while I AM in your heart.
Hold Me in your heart
so you may stand
and have no fear of man or circumstances.
You who have yet to hold Me in your heart,
lay down your excuses.
Today, if you will hold Me in your heart,
I will show you that
I AM the One who is Good.
Lay down your will
that you may open your heart to Me
and you will see that
I AM the One who Loves you with True Love,
the One who can touch your very soul with Life.
Though your sorrows have been many,
the new day has arrived.
I will pour My Love upon My children
as a waterfall from Heaven.
I AM the Living Water.
Drink in what I pour upon you
that you may be strengthened,
for darkness is coming quickly
and the darkness will overshadow many.
Do not be as those who say that I am the Lord,
but then act as if I am not here.
My power is in My presence.
My power is as real as I AM.
Do not be deceived,
those who deny My power and the Life I give
are denying Me.
WARNING
To those who cannot feel My presence,
hear what I say to you:
Open your heart fully to Me
and stop standing in what you think
is your strength.
Because you are trusting more in yourselves than Me,
and as you look to your own schemes and plans
designed by your own willfulness,
you walk in fear
and are blind to the Light
that would show you the Life
that you are forsaking.
And so it is that My Love does not abound in you.
And neither does My Life abound in you.
If you love Me,
then hear this:
The time is now here.
I am ready to purge My Church.
So prepare your hearts
for loving the Truth even more than you do now.
Those who seek the Kingdom of God
must love Godly wisdom and hate worldly wisdom.
A mixture of the two is detestable to Me.
Recognize My voice.
I do not lay heavy burdens upon you.
I do not motivate you with guilt and fear.
I do not set goals for you to achieve.
I do not direct you with vain philosophies.
I do not expect you to understand all things.
I do not require you to perform to your best
or to stand in your own strength.
I AM the God who Lives in His people.
Do not strive to make a life by your own design.
I have a plan for each one's life.
Put your full trust in Me
for I Love you.
TRUST
My children, My children,
I made you
and yet you find it so hard to believe.
You question My existence
every time you suffer some loss.
Oh, your words say that you trust Me,
but I need only test those words
with the smallest pricking
and you immediately turn to your own devices for consolation.
Do you see in what it is you have placed your trust?
You like to stand in your imagery.
You groom it as though it were your hair.
You feed it as though it were your stomach.
You carry it as though it were your jewelry.
And all for what?
To be accepted? To be loved? To receive things?
Who among you is not guilty of this?
Your images are like gods to you.
You think you cannot do anything without them.
You think that if you do not control others,
you will go hungry.
You think that if you do not impress others,
you will go unloved.
I know how you like to trust in what is seen.
How quickly you grab onto anything that seems solid.
You like to trust in the things you do.
You like to trust in your knowledge of Me.
You like to trust in My provisions.
Even with all I have given to you,
how few put your trust in Me.
Those who strive to make My Will happen
do so by their own reasoning,
a reasoning that will lead them to sinning against Me.
They have forgotten Who created this universe
and Who is holding it in place today.
MY GRACE
Everyday, I pour forth My Grace.
Many of you strive to please Me
thinking that you must work to deserve My Love.
When you do so, you have taken My Grace
and turned It into works.
Come rest in Me rather than your works.
Why is My Grace such a mystery?
All that I give to you is by My Grace.
Have I not made you My children?
Then, what is there to fear?
Come, receive My Love freely,
so you may understand My Grace
and receive even more of My Grace.
Do you not see what you are doing?
Look and see how your concern is with how others see you.
You seek after your own glory.
You build your lives on the praises you receive.
Your real concern is not to edify others,
but to be honored by others.
You have lifted yourselves in self-righteousness
and you are blind to it.
You stand in your own reasoning.
You analyze and theorize and make formulas.
Did I tell you to do these things?
You explain and explain and explain as if you understand,
but how little you do understand of Me.
You are so eager to run with what you think you know.
You use your knowledge like the Pharisees used the Law.
You think that in it, you have pleased Me.
Do you really know what I wish?
I wish you would take the time to listen to Me.
Do you not know that I wish to speak through all of you?
I am not a god who is afar off.
I AM the Living God, the True God.
I AM the God who Lives in His people.
I will speak through anyone who is residing in Me
and desires to speak in My Spirit.
EXAMINE YOURSELF
Are you one who thinks that you love My Goodness?
Then listen to My chastening words
so you may see clearly and not be deceived.
Until you are residing in My Love,
you must examine yourself,
otherwise you will not see how it is you resist Me.
Likewise, you must examine the path you are walking,
otherwise you will not see where your heart is aimed.
Do you think the hardness in your hearts
is any less than that of the non-believers?
Behold My children,
I gather you together in My hand
and I press My hand closed.
I ope n My hand and behold:
your arms and legs are all outstretched against Me.
I would make you one in each other,
but even this you resist.
And you who have been touched by My Spirit,
you know Me to be real and so much more.
Yet, you resist Me every time I bring you
to a new area for repentance.
And even after you change and see that it is Good,
and vow to let Me have My way with you,
still you resist My next lesson.
Do not fear My chastening.
My chastening is to help you open your eyes
so you might open your heart
to the Goodness I have prepared for you.
There is so much I wish to give you.
I AM the Good Lord.
My Gospel is the Gospel of Life.
Commit your lives to Godliness.
Do not frustrate the Will of God
by searching how you may be the lord of your own lives.
There is only one Lord and God of all.
I AM that I AM.
Release your controlling ways
so I may fill you with My Life.
THIS EARTH
Look at the Earth and see how it is in motion.
There is a time set for all things.
Do not worry as if I could forget you.
I have not forgotten you in the plan of all things.
Be patient and learn what today has to teach.
Everything I have made
was made with you in mind.
It is for you that I have set everything as it is.
So consider the purpose of your existence.
Do you want there to be a fellowship between you and Me?
It is the reason I made you.
Do not be deceived about living on the Earth.
You will suffer pains and discomforts.
They will come to you.
Your fearing will not stop them.
Your worrying cannot slow them.
Look to Me for I AM the True Comforter.
I AM the fulfillment for your souls.
My dear children,
all of you know with your intellects that I Love you
and you carry this in confidence.
But I wish for all of you to know in Spirit I Love you
so you may walk in Faith.
To you who are fearful or ashamed or burdened,
come to Me and put an end to your anxiousness.
My arms are always outstretched to you.
Receive My Peace and My Wisdom.
Ask Me to show you the Love I have for you.
I will be faithful to all who open themselves to Me.
You cannot begin to understand My Way
until you receive My Love.
If you love Me, reside in My Love.
I AM He who strengthens.
Let Me strengthen you.
DESIRES
I know your hearts are full of desires.
Sometimes you desire Good things.
But because of the impure desires in your hearts
you resist Me when I approach you.
And in your quests to try to please Me,
your impure desires lead you to draw up your own truths
thinking that you have obtained what is My Righteousness.
There are times when you come before Me with confidence
and you do well to do so.
But who is this who stands before Me and boasts?
Am I impressed?
Who is this who puts himself above others?
Is this My commandment?
Who is this who says that I am indebted to him?
Have I fallen from My throne?
From where did you learn such things?
You eagerly seek to be called Good.
But can a Good man be found anywhere?
I look far and wide. Who measures up?
Is there anyone who shows impartiality all the time?
Is there anyone who gives freely all the time?
Why is it you think that you are able to make yourselves Good?
If this were the Way, then you could impress Me,
but I am not impressed by anything man does.
Do you think that I can be fooled by your eloquent words?
You have fooled yourselves; I see your motives.
You seek to gain by your own strength.
You expect a reward by your own design.
Cease from such foolishness;
you might impress others, but I am not impressed.
Am I obligated to any of you by your reasoning?
You are deceived if you think that I am.
Have you not heard that I AM the God of Grace who gives freely?
Have I not set forth My Kingdom filled with all Good things?
Have I not made you a part of My Family?
Am I not your Good Father whose Love for you is true?
Then why do you do as the worldly ones do
and put your trust in foolish things?
Who am I to you?
CONSIDER
In spite of your weakness,
in spite of your defiance,
and in spite of your angry words against Me,
it is I who have made you and Love you.
Even so, what is this knowledge to you?
Is it in your nature to seek Truth?
And when Truth is revealed, to abide in It?
There are many with great amounts of knowledge about Me
who have failed to know Me.
Consider what has been given to you.
You have been given understandings
the world cannot comprehend.
You have been granted Power over your sinful flesh.
You have received adoption and an inheritance.
Consider what is the glory of your calling.
I have called you out to be a special people unto Myself.
You have been made different from the world's own.
You are different because My Spirit Lives in you.
I have made you priests of the Light.
I have made you rulers over darkness.
I have made you brothers and sisters of the same family.
I have made you My children.
You who are trying to make yourselves Good
and you who are trying to earn My Grace
and you who are trying to deserve My Love,
cease from such foolishness and put your trust in Me.
You who think of yourselves as believers,
stand in the Light.
Shake off the pride you have in yourselves.
Have you not heard that only God is Good?
Open your hearts to serving Goodness and not foolishness
and I will give you My perfect Peace to sustain you.
Open your hearts to My Love,
and I will show you My Wisdom.
To you who are willing to walk in My Love,
I will deliver you from your impurities.
MY LOVE & YOUR LOVE
I will give My deliverance to everyone who chooses Me.
I will hold them in My Love.
It is My Good pleasure to give to you freely
so you may receive Me with Joy.
How much I desire to show My Love for you.
Your love and My Love are not the same.
I will tell you about your love.
Your love is known by your desires.
It is created by your selfish motivations.
Your love is tainted and impure.
You defile your brothers and sisters
by the lust that is in your love.
Still, have I not called you to love Me with all of your heart?
Do you not understand My Wisdom concerning this?
Direct your selfishness toward My Goodness
and I will count it as righteousness.
As you give to Me your impure love,
I will give to you My perfect Love
which will purify your hearts toward one another.
Have I said you must become pure before receiving My Love?
It is in the receiving of My Love you are made more pure.
Listen to what I have to say about My Love.
My Love is given to you freely.
I do not expect. I do not obligate.
You are free to reject It.
Do you not know the purpose of that freedom?
It is in this freedom the true attitude of your heart is revealed.
Whoever receives My Love is able to walk in It.
Whoever does not receive My Love
is without direction and is wandering in anxiousness.
My Love is pure and is always given for your benefit.
Be open to receiving My Love
so you may understand My Will
and so My Joy may be full within you.
Walk in My Love
so you may behave with Goodness toward everyone.
FAMILY OF GOD
Be a brother if you are a brother
and be a sister if you are a sister.
I AM the Father who has made this family.
Do I not call you My children?
Then allow Me to be your Heavenly Father.
I have made you all brothers and sisters to one another.
I have fashioned all of you to be a help to one another.
So do not be afraid to question
what you do not understand
or what seems to be wrong.
Examine the purity of your hearts,
so you will not be deceived.
There is no lust in My Love.
My Love does not produce lust.
When you minister to others in My Love,
your hearts are clean
because My Love has cleansed your hearts.
I have given you My Love with which to edify one another.
My Love is truer and stronger
than the promises, the vows, and the agreements of man.
I have made you brothers and sisters in My Love.
If you will reside in My Love,
then you will understand the unity all of you may have.
But do not strive about this.
Let each one come to be One with Me.
All who are in Me are One with one another.
I AM Truth.
I AM Love.
I AM Life.
Have I not made it easy for you to come to Me?
All you need to do is give up.
Is there anything easier a man can do?
Can any man say that I made it too difficult?
This is My Wisdom.
Come let us be One and reside in My Love.
You will be fulfilled in Me.
JESUS
I sent My Son
to bring you into fellowship with Me.
He is the Chosen One.
Without Him, you do not know Me.
Only through Him are you in fellowship with Me.
He is your Mediator because of
and so that in the weakness of your flesh,
you can call upon the Lord for salvation and deliverance.
Consider what has been provided for you.
You have the Righteous One who stands ready to help you
even when you are entangled in sin.
Nothing can stand in opposition to His Love for you.
My Son is the Righteous One to walk with
and to walk with into My Presence.
Consider where you are standing this day.
Are you in fellowship with My Son?
Does He know you?
Come to know the Love I have for you.
Anyone who receives the Gift of My Grace
is able to receive My Love.
Anyone who receives My Love knows Me.
And anyone who resides in My Love is known by Me.
If you desire My Love,
then stop your wanting of It
and open yourself to receive It.
Do not hold yourself back from receiving My Love,
even if you are steeped in sin.
The power of My Love will set you free,
so receive My Love
and do not think that you must deserve It.
I give My Love to set you free.
I give My Love to purify your hearts.
I give My Love that you may have Life.
I give you My Son that you may have Life abundantly.
Let Him lead you into the abundant Life of My Kingdom.
FELLOWSHIP
You know Me to be a personal God
having called you into fellowship with Me.
Is this calling to fellowship any less personal
concerning you with your brothers and sisters?
I have created the ground for fellowshipping
among your brothers and sisters
and it is in My Spirit.
When you are not united in each other,
you think as the world does
and so fear has its grip on you.
Fear is not in My Love.
All who reside in My Love do not fear.
They walk in Love toward all their brothers and sisters.
Whoever does not see this
is not residing in My Love.
Anyone who fears is not residing in My Love.
Do you not know that you were called into My Love
so we may become One?
What good are your thoughts of salvation,
if we do not Know each other?
Your new birth is meant that you might reside in My Love,
not that you would do your works and call it My Love.
Though you deserve harsh judgment
for the many things you have done,
yet I have come to you in Love.
Do likewise to others.
Do you have a desire to be friends with the ungodly?
What union do you have?
You are in the Light. They are in darkness.
Let them step into the Light.
Do not degrade yourselves by becoming like them.
Let them step into the fellowship of My Spirit.
Therefore, enjoy being in the glory of My Kingdom.
Enjoy the fellowship you have with Me.
Enjoy the fellowship you have with your brothers and sisters.
Love your brothers and sisters
in purity and without fear
that My Joy may be full in you.
TESTIMONY
You say that I am to be glorified.
You do some feat worthy of human admiration
and then you give Me the glory.
How am I glorified?
The ungodly do the same feats.
I will tell you how I am glorified:
when you do what the ungodly do not do.
The ungodly have eyes and they see your walk.
They have ears and they overhear your conversations.
They are where I have placed them
and you are where I have placed you.
The ungodly know sincere kindness when they see it.
They know when others are at peace.
They struggle to be that way.
But for you, I have made it easy,
for you are able to walk in My Love.
If you believe, then live in Me.
Your life is your testimony to others.
I have called you to be witnesses to what I do.
Can you be a witness to anything you have not seen?
You do not need to strive to convince others of anything.
If you are convinced, then live it.
It will be evident to all who watch you.
Receive My Love so you may see
and understand My Wisdom.
Receive My Love so you may Know Me.
Then preach and teach from your witness of Me.
Do not lift yourselves above others.
Keep your speech simple
so that it might be clear to all.
Allow the Spirit to give Faith concerning the Truth you speak.
If you will walk in My Love,
I will bring men to hear of your Faith
and I will draw them to My Son Jesus.
MINISTRIES
What shall I say about your ministries?
Many of you are too concerned with searching out
the salvation of the ungodly.
Do you think that persuasive arguments
draw men to My Son Jesus?
I tell you the Truth,
if you could speak about all the Mysteries of My Kingdom,
you would not be able to persuade one man
to turn to Me.
Do not worry about your ministries or what you are to do.
Be sure of what I tell you to do
and do that and then do not worry about it.
If I tell you to go do something,
then you go,
but don't tell others to do what I've told you to do.
Your ministry is yours
and their ministries are theirs.
I commission every one as it pleases Me.
Many of you compromise yourselves before others.
You say that it is for the Gospel's sake.
You cannot fit into them
and into Me at the same time.
If you could, then I would have built My Church
on the foundation of the world
and I would have fashioned you for growth based
upon improving and perfecting your nature.
But your nature is sinful
and the world's wisdom is not like My Wisdom.
I am different,
therefore you are called to become different,
but not of yourselves,
rather by My Spirit.
Be careful you do not burden your brethren with guilt and fear
or I will pull your ministries away from you.
Be a help to one another,
for you are all working for the same goal
which is My heart's desire.
CLARITY OF TRUTH
Soon, I will visit you with the clarity of Truth.
Prepare your hearts as I shall reveal Myself to you
as I have not done in past times.
My dear ones,
do not be at odds with Me.
Those who lift themselves up above others
are blind to the Truth.
They do not see themselves as I see them.
Those who think that My Will cannot happen without them
are in danger of sinning against Me.
I will say it plainly:
you can do nothing Godly apart from Me.
If you love Me, then do not worry.
I know those who cherish Me in their hearts.
My presence comforts them.
Hear what I have to say
concerning those in your congregations:
their beliefs will be challenged by the Truth.
Their love for sin will be exposed.
Many will hide from the Light fearing the shame.
There is hope for these,
so do not look down upon them.
Love them without ceasing
because they are in bondage.
Look past the chains of their sin,
being ready to forgive them in their repentance
for their souls are precious in the Hope.
Listen carefully, My cherished ones,
Did I not say to become perfect and complete
even as I AM?
Do you not know that when you receive My Fullness,
you ARE?
PASTORS
Oh, My pastors, look and see what you have done.
You have received your credentials from man.
They hang on your wall.
And so it is you think you have done well.
You have a church building.
It is filled with followers.
And so it is you think you have done well.
Your speech is polished
and for the accomplishments that you have done,
you think highly of yourselves.
My pastors, more than anyone else,
you should know what humility is
and have a humility that would convict
the prideful to repent of their pride
just by watching you live your daily lives.
Do any of your credentials say that
you have humbled yourselves as little children
and entered My Kingdom?
Do any of them say that you are living in My Kingdom?
What do you think I see when I look at your churches?
Do you think that I am well pleased with your churches?
I have sent many to you with needs
to see how much love is in you.
They have returned to Me saying,
"There is too little love!"
If I were to speak to you about all your faults,
you could not bear what I would say.
Because you do not see your errors about Me,
I will spare you My criticism.
Instead I will show you My ways.
So, listen to Me,
and come to Know Me.
Do not be deceived,
I will hold my pastors accountable
for what they teach My children.
So, do not think that I shall not judge you by your words.
Do you think that we have a good connection?
Look and see and judge for yourselves.
Do you think that your worship services are what I seek?
Do you even understand why you are worshipping Me?
Do you think that I have an ego that needs stroking?
I do not need to hear you sing Me songs.
Instead of you trying to give to Me,
receive from Me
and live in My Spirit
and you will see that
the Loving words you speak to one another
is the sweetest music I desire to hear.
Do you think that I need to be pleased
before I will manifest miracles within your churches?
Those who strive to earn and deserve and gain from Me,
do you not see that all I give is freely offered?
When you strive, you are thinking as the world thinks.
Listen carefully,
Who can reach up and cause Me to do anything?
It is in My graciousness that I give and act.
I do not need to be pleased
before I will give or act.
But, because your striving is practiced and taught,
My children suffer and are hindered when approaching Me.
Oh My pastors, why is it so difficult for you to see
that by your efforts, My children are hindered?
I have made it easy, but you think it is hard.
You would rather it be hard,
so you can derive a vain emotional comfort
from your own efforts.
But the way you would have it,
would not bring anyone into My Spirit.
See, I have told you the Truth
and It is a mystery to many.
Listen carefully, My pastors, and gain understanding.
A prostrated body is without understanding.
I did not create you to throw your bodies down before Me.
Your worship of Me is for one purpose:
to acknowledge that I AM the source of all Goodness.
If you know this, then receive from Me.
I will say this plainly,
Stop trying to give to Me and receive My Love.
Receive from Me, first.
This is My Way!
Then you will see clearly what you can give to Me.
Listen carefully, if you can take this to heart.
Open your heart and be pliable before Me.
If you have My Love within your heart,
then stand face to face with Me.
I AM your Creator. You are My creation.
I created you to have fellowship with Me,
to be in My Kingdom
and to Live in the abundance of My Gracious Love.
Listen and Know this in your spirit:
a prostrated heart that acknowledges Me
and accepts My Spirit of Love
is one who worships Me in Spirit and Truth.
Who is it who waits upon Me to hear from Me?
I will tell you who.
The one who is truly pleasing to Me.
If you are one who can listen to My instruction, then hear Me.
Include Me in your services.
Do not circumvent Me.
Do not just pray to Me.
Give Me time to speak to you in your services.
I know the hearts of My children
and what they need to hear.
Hear My words and speak the words I give you to speak.
When you start to hear from Me,
open your heart even more.
Do not run with what you first hear
adding your own words to Mine.
Do you think that I need your words to explain Mine?
I will be in My words to minister to My children with power
and at the same time to teach you My wisdom
by you experiencing the touching of your heart by Me.
If you are not willing to be touched by Me,
then how is it you can know the hearts of others?
Can you write sermons that will meet the needs of your flock
if you do not know their hearts or My wisdom?
Stand before your congregation
and open your heart to hear from Me.
Open your heart to Know My heart
and I will well up inside you.
You will know that I AM in your heart.
My children are aching to hear My voice.
They are yearning to feel My touch.
What good is it to know things about Me
if I AM not Known?
Lead My children into Knowing Me.
Hear My words and speak the words I give you to speak.
Then you will truly Know My heart.
Then you will know My Way to leading My children into Me.
If your heart is truly open to me,
I will give you the words to speak and as I do,
I will show you My Love
so you may have complete understanding.
Without the experiencing of My Love,
you are left to your own reasoning.
Is your reasoning greater than My Love?
I will tell you plainly:
My Love is greater than all your reasoning
and strategies and plans combined.
What good is your Biblical knowledge
if you have not My Love
with which to Know My Heart?
I have called you to Know My heart,
to walk in My Love,
and to guide My children into Me.
I do not look to see if you have credentials of some sort.
I look to see if you stoop down
to give a small child a cup of refreshing water.
I look to see if it is done in true humility.
I look to see what compassion you might have for all people.
I look to see if your heart wants true fellowship with Me.
So, do not be deceived about yourselves.
It is not your churches that I will examine,
it is your hearts that I will judge.
I look to see if you desire Partnership with Me.
All who are in Partnership with Me
are One with Me.
Can you say to My face
that we are One?
If not,
then what is keeping you away from Me?
Come to Me and let us talk.
You do not need to search for Me.
I AM here!
Open yourselves to Me
and receive from Me.
Have you not heard that I AM the God who Loves
all of mankind?
If I waited for you to deserve Life,
then no man would ever enter My Kingdom.
I reach out to give Life.
It is I who have chosen you
to be born again by My Spirit.
I cherish you as My special creation.
I give you a value higher than anything else I have created.
If you aim your face toward Me,
shall I not secure you?
If you love Me with all of your heart,
shall I not hold you in My arms?
If you open yourselves to Me,
shall I not cherish you even more
and give of My Spirit
that you may Know that I cherish you?
If you are in a personal relationship with My Son,
then we have connection
and if you can feel My presence and empowering,
then you are in My Truth and have Life.
Will I abandon you if you should stumble?
No, I will pick you up and show you My wisdom.
Will I discard you if you should turn to sin?
No, I will chasten you and show you the purpose of My Love.
Why do you worry as if I am eager to send you to hell fires?
Is your heart with Me?
If so, then do not worry.
I created you for Life and to be with Me.
If you do not have the strength to walk uprightly,
then let the soulful desire of your heart be toward Me.
Do this one thing and I will set you free and strengthen you.
I created you for Life and to be with Me.
Take heed, My pastors,
I am about to shake My Church by breaking
the foundations and traditions that human wisdom has built.
I am forming a new breed of pastors born in My Love.
A new wine is coming, so prepare new wineskins.
Be glad for this new wine.
It is a wine that is pleasing to Me.
And do not harden your hearts against Me.
Do not follow in the footsteps of the Pharisees.
If you love Me, then be glad for what is about to happen.
Teach My children that entering My Kingdom is foremost.
With every song,
with every teaching,
with every word you say or write,
lead My children into My Kingdom,
but first, you enter My Kingdom
for how can you lead or guide My children
to where you have not yet been?
Do not hinder My children any longer.
Enter My kingdom and see My ways.
I am taking the strife away from you.
My ways are not of strife.
I am giving you My rest.
My ways are refreshing.
Let Me refresh you in My Kingdom
to enjoy the fellowship we can have.
I will say this plainly,
Anyone who is not in My Kingdom
is blind to My Grace and lacks the wisdom of My Love.
Do you think that Biblical knowledge
is greater than My Love?
I tell you, My Love is greater.
If you had to choose between knowing all about Me
or simply receiving My Love,
the greater is the receiving of My Love.
What more can I say to convince you who resist Me?
What makes you think that your many words are more important,
and that your judgments are clearer,
and that your efforts are more effective,
than what I can do with one simple sentence
spoken to one of My children
who is brokenhearted or downtrodden?
You who resist Me,
who am I to you?
I will tell you who I am to all of My creation:
I AM the LORD GOD.
My Pastors,
If you love Me,
then do what I now say:
Humble yourselves.
Be humble in all you do.
Open yourselves to experience the Love I have for you.
It is the only way to understand My wisdom.
Be open and pliable to Me.
Trust Me with all that I will do.
Understand My Grace.
Learn to give freely and receive freely.
Receive My Spirit and partake of My Love
that you may be empowered to Love and forgive
and Know My heart.
Cease from your efforts and rest in Me.
Enter and live in My Kingdom.
Then, feed My children with what you can taste of Me.
If you love Me, then do what I say
and I will pave your paths before your eyes
and you will see that I AM the Lord your God
who Loves you with all that I AM.
CHURCHES
My cherished children,
hear what I have to say concerning My Church.
You are My Church. I AM in you.
Open the church doors.
Open them for the poor and hungry.
Open them for the stranger to find rest.
Put forth the welcome mat.
You need not seek out the poor,
for when they hear of God's Goodness in you,
they will flock to you.
Let My Church be known as the House of Provision.
What should it matter to you if a thief walks in?
Does he not need to hear the Gospel?
Is he not in need of salvation?
And if you are willing to give,
does he need to steal?
And so what if he should steal?
If he has stolen, he has stolen from Me,
so pray for his soul
for it might be demanded that night.
Have no fear of anyone who stands before you.
I see directly into their hearts.
I know their thoughts.
I will give you the words to speak.
Even those who hate you because of Me,
do not fear them
for I AM with you.
Love them and do Good.
Whoever says he loves Me
must Love those who hate Me for I Love them.
Keep the church doors open and keep the evening's lamps lit.
Would you say to the man who is suffering
or to the woman who is hungry
to come back tomorrow at a more convenient hour?
If you would say these things to those who are in need,
then how can you say
that you know God
and that He knows you?
If you feed yourself when you are hungry,
then do likewise to Love your neighbor as yourself.
Open your services to interaction
that you may openly Love one another.
Do not strive about love.
There is no strife in My Love.
Consider the price paid for your redemption:
do not charge money for your Good works to your brethren
or else that shall be your full reward.
When you give of yourself,
I, your Heavenly father, will give of Myself to you.
So share your Good gifts.
My Kingdom does not know boundaries.
My people do not hold back My Goodness.
Wherever My people are One,
My Life shall be found in abundance.
Freely, I give.
Find your rest in Me.
Listen carefully and do not be deceived.
The evil one wants you to desire Me
for whatever a man desires,
he does not have.
I AM ever ready to touch you with My presence,
so listen to your words when you speak and sing and pray.
I AM here for you.
I AM here.
My dear, precious children,
let your walks serve as invitations to all.
Consider how easy I have made it for you.
My Fullness is available if you are open to It.
Be One with Me
and do not worry about anything
for you are in My Grace.
Be as I AM for I AM in you."
