One of the most challenging things we will ever deal with in life is that God loves us. Everyone of us have to know that He knows us, all the bad and the ugly yet He loves us. That has been the hardest thing for me personally. I told you how I began to say from Deut. 6:4&5, Lord I love You with all my heart, with all my might, and with all my soul. Those words began to change my thoughts and feelings to agree with the words I was saying. You do know that His word coming out of my mouth allows Him to work. He is watching over His word to perform that word, right? Well then it is very important that we speak the word of God, literally echoing back to Him His truths. I think people say what is going on in their life instead of saying the promise back to Him. Okay back to believing that He loves me, I developed in that I loved Him but I was weak in that He loved me. My past was speaking too loud for me to get the truth of His love. I had to begin to say out loud & on purpose " I have known and believed the love you have for me" From 1st John 4:16 and also " Father, You love me as much as You love Jesus" from John 17:23b. I said it even though there was seemingly no real feel to it, yet knowing that His word in my mouth would bring it to pass. I am developing nicely, and will continue speaking His word. I believe He loves me and I want to grow more in that love, I am sure you do too.
I would love to hear back from you, feel free to write.

Most of us have grown up learning about God by religious teaching. Things like God teaches us through sickness or He will cause or use something bad to get selfish ways out of us, He may take your money so you can know what it feels like to be poor. (I think that is evil). I knew a woman who lost a daughter and believed God needed her in Heaven. My friend Kellie says religion is mean. I agree, but God is not, He is Love! Religion makes excuses to explain why we failed to receive something we were asking for, or why something bad came into our life. Religion usually makes it God's fault, making Him out as a bully. Religion says ,well all things work together for our good. Meaning bad or awful things can work for us. Please say yuck! I want to show you how when we are in trouble The Holy Spirit Who is our Teacher/Helper comes along beside us to help us, because He is good. He is THE Best Friend you will ever know. Look at Romans 8:26. It reads that the Holy Spirit also helpeth our infirmities. That means He takes hold together with us against the problem. He does not cause it, He helps us get it out of our lives. He is called the Helper. You have to like that. If we let Him or allow Him to lead us The Holy Spirit, Who knows everything about everything, will lead us right out of the problem. We have to know Who He is and what He does else we won't follow Him. Also we have to listen to Him with our spiritual ears not the ears on the sides of our head. Now Romans 8:27 reads that He living in our spirit, makes intercession for us according to the will of God/Love. Always The Holy Spirit is working for our good, only good. Please don't think sickness /death/calamity is from Him. No, He is good. Anyway with Him interceding for us, then all things work together for our good. I hope you got that, God is not religious and He needs us to know Him. He wants us to know who He is and who the devil is and not be confused in any situation by which one we are dealing with. God is Love and God is good. The devil is a liar, a thief, a murderer. Let's not get them confused again.

I hope you read the last blog because this goes with that teaching. When we were born again only the spirit man was changed, not the soul. I know you already know this but we need to be reminded. The soul is the mind, will ,emotions, the thinking and reasoning process, the want to, the memory. Our soul was not affected by being born again, that part of us has to be changed by the Word of God. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Good and Evil, He said in the day you eat you will die. Well they ate and they died, on the inside, the spirit that was to be in the image and likeness died. That is the reason we had to be born again, our spirit man had to come back into life. Death was lodged in it making us separated from the LIFE of God. Now that LIFE is in us, not everyday life but the LIFE that is in God. This is good news, are you excited? The LIFE of God is Zoe, that is in us. Jesus said My Zoe I lay down for you that My Zoe can be in you. Zoe is the very nature of God in your spirit, which if you allow that to lead you, will make you free from the old nature and cause you to prosper in every area of your life. Zoe is eternal life. We hear about eternal life and think it means life after death, if you think about it even the sinner will have life after death. It won't be good but the sinner never ceases to be and will be somewhere too. Spirits never cease to be, good or bad. Zoe is the Life and nature of God. One of Jesus purpose was to create a people with this life in them. You have asked Jesus into your heart and may not know that the Zoe of God is in you. The snake, the whisperer, the one using magic spell and enchantment speaks to your head ,
cause he still is trying to lead you, God wants you to not to fall for his lies. We are not to live anymore listening to our heads but are required to listen inside, to the Spirit of God speaking to our spirit. Listening to Him will cause Zoe Life to make us into the image and likeness, like the original purpose of God.

Remember God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden? His purpose was for them to use everything in the Garden to cover the whole earth, to cover the earth with all that He gave them in the Garden. That is so awesome to me, He gave them the very things they would need to use. By the way the Garden of Eden means voluptuous unending supply. Everything was available for them to use. The ONLY thing was they had to follow His words. The Bible says man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Well that is for us today as much as for them in the Garden. The only way to prosper in this life is to follow His word. You know the serpent came to Eve and lied to her. Serpent means snake but it also means magic spell, enchantment and whisperer in the Hebrew. No wonder she was deceived! Everything the devil whispers to us has enchantment on it that makes it 'seem true' or 'feel right' but it is a lie. Only the word of God is truth. God cannot lie and all the devil can do is lie. Jesus says he is a liar and the father of the lie. Say yuck! Now remember that we are created in the image and likeness of God. He is a spirit and like Him we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. He talked to Adam and Eve in their spirit, the hidden man, the inner man. The serpent talked to Eve by her soul, to her head. To this day the enemy talks to our head and God talks to our spirits. Most people can tell you all day long everything the enemy says but complain that God is not talking. They are listening like Eve to their head ears, not their spirit ears! Do you know what that means? You can begin to train yourself to listen inside. We can, like God originally purposed,live by every word that proceeds from His mouth. We can prosper, God is talking! He is a good Father leading His children, listen to Him on the inside. This is good news

Hi I am back. I am not totally rested but I am getting there. I had a great time in Branson. My longest time friend Tari went with me. She made me laugh constantly, usually at the most ridiculous things.
Everyone was asked to write a testimony of how Kenneth Copeland Ministries had affected their life. I wrote a short paragraph and the next day I was asked if I would mind being interviewed by the most wonderful lady who works for the ministries. Me! Me! I got to tell the ministry just how KCM had wonderfully changed my life. What an honor! I keep saying to myself, self, out of 3000 plus people you got to say thank you! Awesome! You should always give honor to your fathers in the faith.
I will write tomorrow, I have been with my grandchildren since I have been home and I am tired.
God bless, oh, remember He loves us! The enemy tries to makes us think He just tolerates us but that is a lie. Our Heavenly Father LOVES us. It is a love where we are always on the forefront of God's mind and He is waiting for us to call on Him in faith. In faith and using His word, that is the way to operate in His kingdom. He is the best of all that is.

Later

I am leaving for Branson Missouri this week to attend a conference where Kenneth and Gloria Copeland will be ministering. God used Kenneth to change my life 26 years ago. I was a young 30 year old wife and mother of 3. I had been oppressed with agoraphobia for 7 horrible years. My life was ruled by tormenting fear. I was delivered from the fear at an altar in a church in Indiana, a woman gave me 5 tapes by Kenneth Copeland titled Freedom from fear. I listened to the tapes and for the first time in my life heard the truth of God's love. I had grown up around religious lies that had infected my life with fear. Kenneth taught God's Kingdom not religion, and I loved hearing it! He taught me who God is and what He requires. I began to know God because of Kenneth's teachings. I am so grateful for their ministry. The excellence, integrity and especially the love they live in have influenced my life.
I will write when I get back, I'll let you know all I learn! I would like to pray for you so while I am off being ministered to, The Dearest King will keep you. Father, thank you for these that read about You on this Blog. I am asking You to strengthen them with Power, with the Holy Spirit. He is the One working in them to will and to do Your will. He is the One who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think. That Your Holy Spirit would lead them and guide them, telling them things before anything would happen that You wouldn't want so they can take authority in Jesus Name to stop it. Help them to see You in Truth from Your word so You can work in their lives unhindered. Oh Master, You are Love,unfailing Love....You are the kindest and best Friend we will ever know. Pour out Your Spirit on them, fill them because they are Yours. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in these lives. I like asking You for them cause Your will is awesome.
