Prologue

My child, I AM Love! My Love for you is a language that never needs an interpreter. My Love and mercy are so vast that I need a new day, every day throughout eternity, just to express and display a new dimension of Me. My Love for you cannot ever be contaminated or contained. My Love never changes! You are perfectly loved and perfectly Mine — even when you, as dust, are not perfect! Oh, seek Me! Call on Me! I AM ever approachable and will never reproach you. Can you feel Me wooing you to draw closer to My heart? Do you know that you have given My heart the reason to sing? You have been tattooed on My flesh by the indelible Ink of My Son’s Blood! You are forever and eternally loved! You did nothing to cause Me to love you — except you were born. You are loved because you exist! Your Heavenly Father

Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands; [O Zion] your walls are continually before Me.

– ISAIAH 49:16 AMPC

It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness.

– LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23 AMP

If you do not know Who I AM, you will never know who you are!

I AM! I AM Alpha and I AM Omega. Everything that exists came from Me. I AM as the earth and I AM Living Water! I AM as lightning and I AM as thunder. I AM as a baby’s smile and I AM as a lion’s roar. I AM too large to contain and too impressive to ignore. I AM in you! I AM what gives you significance. Without Me, you would still be dust. Know this: I refuse to live in the ordinary; this makes you extraordinary! When you understand My vastness, you will understand yourself as the miracle from the blast of My Breath. My Breath is Love, and My Love is My Breath! Is your breath for love? Do you breathe to love as you love to breathe? You must know your significance because I AM your Father. Your bloodline is that of the Royal Alpha bloodline. Your destiny is compacted with eminent purpose. Make no mistake. I make no mistakes! Wisdom says: When you see that I AM limitless, you will stop limiting yourself. I know you by name. You are My reason to smile every day! The closer you become to Me, the more you will see Me in you!

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

Have the courage to let go of what sustained you during the ‘last’ season!

This is key to movement and success in this new season that I AM leading you into! My Kingdom is in constant movement forward. Are you willing to let go of what was vital during the last season, but has now become a hindrance to you? The afterbirth is the perfect example of this Kingdom key! Before your birth, all of it was vitally necessary to your growth and ability to survive. In this new season, the afterbirth must be discarded because the blood is no longer connected; it is dead! Never cling to what has already died! Allow Me to show you what you are clinging to that is old and dead — what is no longer connected to My Son’s Blood! Wisdom says: You must let go of things you think you know before I reveal My all-knowing Truth! Ask Me for the courage and the bravery to let go of what has become old and dead and to grab hold of what is alive and necessary for this new season. I always ask you to let go of what was good, so you will reach for what is better!

Do not allow familiarity to contaminate My Word’s purity.

This Gift of My Word has been given freely to you. Whose tongue is pure enough to even utter such a prize and treasure? Whose eyes are so undefiled as to even gaze upon this Master’s Peace? Whose ears are pure enough to be counted among the blessed to hear such a symphony of power? Whose hands are holy enough to even carry this Ark of the Covenant, My Word? Whose heart is counted among the most fortunate to have Me, My Word, growing as a Holy Garden inside of them? You, Child of the Most High God. With My Word in you, you are literally pregnant with the King of kings. Just as Mary agreed to be My chosen vessel, so are you carrying this Holy Life. From her belly she brought forth the Source of All Life, Jesus; so from your belly shall flow rivers of Living Water. Wisdom says: Do not allow familiarity to contaminate My Word’s purity. Read My Word with expectation and holy reverence. The Israelites carried My Ark at the risk of death, but you carry My Ark that resists death.

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

If you suffer from an identity crisis, it is because you have not yet found your name in My Word.

You can find your identity every time you read My Son’s name — in Him — in My Word. Pray for the revelation that you are in Jesus and Jesus is in you. It is so crucial that you know why you have the privilege and right to use My Son’s holy name by proxy in the Courtroom of Heaven. When you use His name, you decree by legal right that you are one with Him, just as a spouse has right to everything the other spouse owns. Just as two become one flesh in the marriage of one man and one woman, so it is with Jesus and His Bride. You, the Bride, have taken the Groom’s name and have rights to everything — all power and authority — that is His. A Bride is never a beggar of her rights! Every Bride knows her position as being loved and at the center of the Bridegroom’s heart. Be secure in your position of being seated with King Jesus. Wisdom says: Only you have the legal right to use your own name. Consider this: You have been given the legal right to use the name of Jesus. This is because you died and Jesus now lives in you.

I promised you as a pure bride to one husband — Christ.

... so that they may be one as we are one.

You were born with the option to quit, but not the right.

Every decision and choice that you make not only affects you and everyone around you, but it affects Me and My Kingdom. Soldiers do not have the right to decide if they want to follow orders or complete assignments. They lose these rights when they join the military. They now belong to their commander in chief. As your Commander in Chief, I give you assignments that have an eternal purpose. The lives of many people are at stake. They are depending upon you! Wisdom says: I AM determined to bless those who are determined to keep going! You do not have the right to quit on your Kingdom assignment. Seek Me today for the strength to carry out your personal assignment with perseverance! Know this today: I will never quit on you, even if you choose to quit on Me.

Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, ... let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

– HEBREWS 12:1

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Live a life of excellence, and watch promotion hunt you down!

Doing things with excellence gets My attention! A king is called Your Excellency. As your King, I seek excellence from you, because I give nothing less than excellence to you. Do not confuse excellence with perfection. There is a vast difference. An excellent spirit comes from Me. A perfectionist spirit comes from a root of inadequacy and is torment. To live in excellence is to make Me look good. To be a perfectionist is to make you look good. This one area is keeping so many people from promotion. In My Kingdom, to live a life of excellence should be the norm, not the exception. Wisdom says: To be excellent is to do everything for My Glory and Honor. This means to serve Me and My children with your whole heart, without complaining. Know today that I do not require you to be perfect. But, choose to represent Me well by living a life of excellence! Those who are excelling in My Kingdom are those who are excellent in My Kingdom.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth!

– PSALM 8:1 AMP

Then this Daniel became distinguished ... because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

Those who choose to war in My Spirit get the spoils of war; those who stay in the palace just get spoiled!

Are you willing to leave the comfort of the palace for the uncomfortable position of the foxhole? The only way to get the spoils of the enemy is to plunder the enemy! Just because you have been reborn in the position of a king does not mean that you do not have to leave the comfort of My Palace. Learn the lesson from King David. When he refused to go to war with his men, he became ensnared in the sin of lies and murder! When you stay in the palace too long, you become selfish and entitled. Staying in places of comfort will breed complacency. Those who become complacent become self-serving! You cannot serve yourself and Me at the same time! I have assigned you to the foxhole of prayer and praise! Wisdom says: To be a warrior in My Kingdom, you must be willing to engage the enemy with My weapons of prayer and praise! I AM your firm Strength Who teaches you to war. Fall in love with My people, not your palace!

You cannot be in two places — fear and faith — at the same time.

Fear is not a fact! Fear is a lie! The enemy lies to you about Me because every lie is designed to twist and pervert My character so that you will question My Love for you as your trustworthy Father. If you take this bait, then you will be full of fear! Every fear is simply faith in the enemy to hurt you, instead of faith in Me to protect and love you. Fear is a choice, as is faith. When you are fearful, you miss the opportunity to enact the spiritual force of faith — which is power, love, and a sound mind. Fear makes you powerless; faith makes you powerful in Me. Every fear is an issue of not trusting Me and My Love for you. Every fear is designed to make Me seem weak. Every fear is a lie disguised as truth. Wisdom says: Choose today not to entertain fear, but to enforce the power of faith! I AM for you. There is nothing to fear! I know you by name and you are Mine. Fear not, for I AM with you. You are My top priority
