Hello My Beloved,

You are often looking for the formula or the strategy on how to get the optimal results in a given situation. What if I told you that you already had access to them but have decided not to use them? What if I told you that you have the keys to unlock everything I have for you, requests that I could not ignore, but you’d have to die to get them? Would you be all in, or would you bail on our relationship?

I have a set of principles that will build My character in you if you follow them. Does this mean that you will walk through life without a problem in the world? Quite the contrary, but you will bring me most glory and bear witness to me if you follow what I instruct you to do. My Son gave a sermon on the top of a mountain, and it is the longest recorded dialogue that you have of Him. He is sharing my heart and will for you, so I want you to dig in and do what I instruct. You may not get it right on the first time, but that’s where dying to your way and your flesh come into play. If you want my best for yourself and your situation, you have to put my principles to work in your life. 

See them recorded throughout Matthew 5-7:

Let your light shine so men can see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven

Your righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees if you want to get into heaven

Anyone angry with their brother or sister will be subject to judgement—leave your gift at the altar, get it right with them, then come back to offer it to God

Do not commit adultery—watch your eyes—cut off anything that is going to cause you to sin in the physical and in your heart

No divorce except for fornication—any man that marries a divorced woman is committing adultery

Do not make vows—let your “yes” be “yes” and your “no” be “no”—anything else is evil

Do not resist an evil person—turn the other cheek—If someone ask you to go a mile with them, go two—if someone ask to borrow, give it to them

Love your enemies—pray for those who persecute you

Give secretly—don’t show off for others how you give—secret service, public reward

Do not pray in vain with repetitions and many words—pray like Jesus—secret prayer, open reward

Put oil on your head and wash your face when fasting—everyone shouldn’t know you’re fasting—secret sacrifice, public reward

Don’t store up treasure on earth, store it up in heaven. Your treasure is where your heart is

Don’t worry about what you will eat or drink, wear or live—Seek 1^stGod and His Kingdom and everything you need will come to you

You’ll be judged the same way you judge others—take the beam out your eye before you get the speck out your brother’s eye

Ask, seek, and knock—keep asking, seeking, and knocking—do to others what you want done to you

The way to heaven is narrow, the way to hell is broad—make sure you work to find the unpopular route to life

Watch out for false prophets—check their fruit

Only those who do my Father’s will will enter into heaven

Fools build their lives on the temporary—Wise men build it on the Rock, Jesus—hear and DO, not just hear

So, you see my beloved, when I instruct you in a way and you take it, you look more like me, you please and bring glory to me, and you bear witness to Me in a dying world. They see that you look like me, then they become attracted to me through you. Obedience to principles is the hard and rewarding work that comes only through love and submission to me. Follow Me.

Love, Abba Father
