My children, to hear with the ears of the Spirit, to see with the
eyes of the Spirit, and to speak the words of the Spirit is something
worthy of your pursuit. This should be your goal, My people. I tell you,
the more time that you spend with Me, in My presence, the more readily
you will know My will and direction for you. There are no shortcuts. It
takes time, discipline and perseverance.

Does not My Word say that you are to "walk in a manner worthy of the
calling with which you have been called"? Truly this is only achievable
by My Spirit's anointing. It is not something earned, nor necessarily
learned, more than that, it is an unction from the Holy One. My Word
says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons
of God." Are you led by the Spirit of God?? Do you hear His voice, sense
His nudgings, look to Him for guidance or direction? If you did, He
would gladly accomodate you, for it is His nature to point you to Me and
My will for you.

Do not attempt to go it alone in this life, or else you will
inevitably meet with destruction. Rather, allow the Holy Spirit to be
your guide, in all your dealings, and you will find life much less
complicated. I do not wish to encumber you with legalism, or to inhibit
your own freedom of choice. What I seek to do is bring you into
complete, true freedom indeed, freedom to live a victorious life spurred
on by the motivation of My Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is a gentleman and He will not force His will upon
you. Yet, as you allow Him entrance and access, He will faithfully and
lovingly guide you along the pathway I've ordained for you. My Word
says, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." In order for
My handiwork to continue and progress as I've desired, you need to give
the Holy Spirit free access and full sway in your heart and life. As you
do so, it will be the natural course of action for these preordained
works to be accomplished in and through you. I long for each of you to
experience wholeness and fulness which is only attainable in and by My
Holy Spirit. So let go My people. Place the reins of your life into My
capable hands, and by My Spirit, the victory will be our together.
