Under the influence of the Lord

Son, what have you been up to today?

Well, Father I have been busy doing all sorts of stuff.

Son, what sort of things are you talking about?

Father, you know what I have been doing.

Son, this is true but I take such joy in hearing you speak to Me about what is happening in your life. It is the highlight of my day!

Father, but if you know what I am thinking, then why don't you just speak to my thoughts in my mind?

(laughing) Son, which thought would you like me to speak to first?

(smiling) I get it, Father. I understand what you mean now. But, Father...

Son, what would you like to talk with me about?

Father, there are times I simply can't hear you. I mean, I try to listen to you speak but it's so hard....

Son, why is it so difficult?

Father, I don't know why but I do know that the times I want you to speak to me, I hear not one thing from you.

(laughing) Son, well...

Father, why are you laughing at me?

Son.... I am laughing because I struggled with these same things when I was here on earth in the flesh. You are so loved by me.... I truly enjoy this time we have together. Do you not know that I have been already speaking to your human spirit about things that pertain to your life?

Father, I don't understand. What does my human spirit have to do with this?

Son, you are asking a question that will bring you much wisdom very soon as you gain understanding of what I am about to say to you. See, son your human spirit has to become aroused inside of you. This happens when your human spirit is able to communicate to your soul what I have communicated to your human spirit. Your human spirit has to be able to influence your soul what I speak to your human spirit. Does this make sense, son?

Yes, I think so. But what does my soul have to do with this?

(smiling) Son, it has EVERYTHING to do with this. When your soul; (which is your mind, will, and emotions) is able to trust the language of your human spirit, truth is produced that brings life that is breathed inside of you. Sadly son, the souls of most of my people are not able to trust the words of their human spirit. Satan has been part of the problem. A big part of the problem. But, unfortunately most of my sheep won't allow me to properly influence their emotions.

Father, how does THAT happen?

(grinning) Son, taking care of one's self spiritually, mentally, and physically is a great way to start.

Father, are you telling me that if I eat better and take better care of my self physically (like going to the gym) that my soul will be able to better trust my human spirit?

As well as Me, son!

Father, you're the Holy Spirit right?

Son, I am Jesus.

Father, I thought you were the Holy Spirit inside of me?

I am.

Well then, if that is true, then where is Jesus?

Son, I am right here with you.

Father, my head hurts again....

(chucking) Son, why don't you let me speak my thoughts and then if you have questions; we can continue this divine exchange. Would that be ok, son?

Father, I guess. I simply want to know you more and have a stronger relationship with you.

Son, what do you think this is bringing to you? Do you now see that everytime you listen to My words you become wiser? Mary was wise because she sat at my feet. That is what you are doing right now. Listening to My words inside of you breathes life into your soul. Your soul must be strengthened by better food, exercise, and living a very balanced, very practical life. See, if you forget to pay your phone bill, then I will remind you about this. However, you may not even realize these are the words I am speaking with you about because you are busy wanting to hear Me speak to you about what a great job you did at work yesterday or about how you are doing a better job than other family members at reaching out to your sick grandmother. Yes, I do want to address that you are working hard at your job. Yes, I will complement you for caring for a sick relative. However, if your bills arent' paid then your mind is not able to rest properly. Remember, Jesus had to rest properly. He was not ministering 24 hours a day for 7 days a week. He was a human being just like you are. He had flesh just like you do. He was tempted just like you are. It is very important you understand this--> My Son had to learn to walk in His humanity first. In other words, He had to learn how to live as a human being first. Yes, He was (and is) the Son of God. Yes, He lived a perfect life. No, he never sinned. But He was tempted by Satan. He was tempted to not follow through on His mission to destroy the work of satan by dying on the cross. If you will recall, He was sweating drops of blood while He was in the garden.

Son, the reason I am telling all of this about Jesus is that He was (and still is) my Son. Just as you were and still are and always will be My son. There isn't one thing I told Jesus that will be kept from you. Does this make sense, son?

Father, I believe it does. You're telling me that Jesus and I had alot in common!

(laughing) Son, not only that; but you both HAVE alot in common!
