This is your day and this is your hour. You have not misunderstood the constant calling and beckoning that My Spirit has been laboring for, in your heart. Your resistance has caused you much mental anguish and confusion, as well as true heartache and sorrow. You desire the things of the Spirit, yet refuse to bring your flesh under submission. When, oh man, will you learn the ways of the Sovereign One, the ways into the realm of the Eternal Flame.

You have desired Me above all else. I do see this in your heart. But your immaturity has caused you to be slack in the self discipline and self denial that opens the doorway to the heavenly atmosphere that forever beckons you. You hear two different versions of how to receive of Me, and this has caused you much concern and confusion. One way says, only believe ... only receive. The other way says, deny yourself and you shall have the desires of your heart. Which of these ways is the true way into the riches of your full inheritance? The answer is both. Let me explain it to you, My beloved. There is no great unfathomable feat that you must do to experience Me in the ways that you so desire. However, you must do what My word says. You must crucify your flesh and My Spirit must have dominion in your life. You must live by Romans 8. This scripture is the key that unlocks the supernatural realm in your life. Always remember that, My dear ones. You have the key, now use it. I am not asking for some great exploit from you. I am not requiring that you do something that is beyond your capabilities. Besides, apart from Me, you can do nothing. I am asking that you walk with Me on a day to day basis and that you bring yourself under submission to the Spirit of the Living God.

You have been so downcast and have felt so hopeless, when your help, which comes from Me, is found in this one powerful scripture. Romans 8 should be stamped upon your heart, if you truly desire to walk in heavenly places. If you want to know what it’s like to experience Me face to face. Do you want to know your God like that, My love? If so, then engrave this most holy scripture in your heart. Determine that you will not back down or back off from living every day with the knowledge that you are not your own, you were bought with a price. You must know and believe in your heart that I have freed you from guilt and from shame. You must know that you are mine forever. You must also know that the old carnal ways of thinking must now come into alignment with the ways of My Spirit, and your thoughts must become My holy thoughts. Your agenda must now become My agenda.

So many of you are desperate for Me. It’s like you are searching and searching and you cannot find Me. You cry out to Me and tell Me that you simply do not know what else you can do. It seems that in every direction you look, everyone is able to find what they are looking for, except you. Oh child, you have looked for Me in all of the wrong places. You have looked inside of yourself instead of looking inside of the Spirit that lives within you. You have a body, soul and spirit. Your body and your soul wars against your spirit ... that part of you that is filled with My Spirit. Quiet yourself. Stop the war that rages on the inside and find the peace that is so needed during these days of great distress that has so consumed you. You cannot grow with the spiritual nourishment that you need as long as you are allowing this war to continue to thrive on the inside of you. Remain calm and find peace in Me. Ask Me for wisdom on how to handle the battles on the outside that cause the tension and the stress that wars on your body and soul. This too must be brought under the submission of the Holy Spirit. If you are walking in the fruit of My peace, then you will refuse to give in to the temptation of turmoil and unrest that the enemy sends your way.

Search for me in the stillness and peace, and you will find Me. Rise above your circumstances, and we will walk together in the high places. Do not believe the lies of the enemy that you were not created to experience the higher realms. These places are for all of My precious children. I have great places of delight for each and every one of you. It is My great pleasure to give you beautiful, good gifts. Hold on to Romans 8, My beloved. Meditate on My word day and night. Let it be your sword in the times of great warfare. He comes against you because you are My chosen one. You are My beloved. You have a destiny that only you can fulfill. He has seen the calling on you since birth. Do not let the enemy of your soul continue to steal from you. He is robbing you of many valuable days of walking in the purpose for which you were created. Refuse to let this continue. Let My Spirit now have full control over your thoughts, your body, your will and your emotions.

Romans 8 (with emphasis)

¹THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.

²For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.

³For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice],

⁴So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].

⁵For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.

⁶Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].

⁷[That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s Law; indeed it cannot.

⁸So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.

⁹But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God].

¹⁰But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you].

¹¹And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.
