I\u2019m not just your friend. I\u2019m not just a light in the darkness, but I\u2019m your Dad and you\u2019re My kids. When you were an infant, you first learned to stand and balance and pretty soon you started walking on your own and talking, a few words here and there to start. You\u2019d take a step and fall and you\u2019d get back up and pretty soon you were walking fast and then you wanted to run. Then you weren\u2019t happy with just running. You wanted a tricycle and you got a tricycle and you\u2019d zoom around the block. Pretty soon, you said, &#8220;I want more!&#8221; Then you got a little bicycle with training wheels. You\u2019d get on the bike and slowly pedal around. Pretty soon you wanted to go faster, so you took off the training wheels and for a short time, someone held the seat as you pedaled away until you had it mastered and you were able to balance and to ride with the wind. Then you began to make it your own. Remember when you put the little streamers on the handlebars and the little license plate and the bell and the light. Pretty soon, &#8220;I want more!&#8221; You graduated to a 10-speed and pretty soon you were shifting through the gears with ease. &#8220;I want more.&#8221; You set your sights on a motorcycle, on a car. As you learned how to drive\u2014yeah, there were scratches, yes, there were dents but you made it your own. You hung things from the mirror and played your kind of music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s how My Spirit works. First you learn how to stand, how to speak My language, how to operate and balance with speed. Then I tap you on the shoulder and say, \u201cThere\u2019s more.\u201d You say, &#8220;Lord, I want more.&#8221; Then I take off your training wheels and you start moving in the Spirit. &#8220;I want more!&#8221; and I say &#8220;Yes, there\u2019s more.&#8221; So don\u2019t be afraid&#8230;Is operating in My Spirit something that comes with ease? No, it\u2019s a learning curve, but I\u2019m willing to hold the seat. I\u2019m willing to hold you up. I\u2019m willing to teach you how to talk and how to walk and how to balance and how to take your step. I\u2019m willing to help you maneuver through the things of My Spirit until you are comfortable&nbsp; and you make it your own. But never assume you can just do it on your own.  I\u2019m your Dad&nbsp; and you are My children. And I will always take care of you, I will always walk with you, I will always be with you, I will always teach you, and I will never let go of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IF you\u2019re willing, this year will scare you because My Spirit is going to move in a swifter way than ever before, and&nbsp;all I\u2019m saying is TRUST ME!  Are you willing to step out? Are you willing to open your hands? Your mouth? Your eyes and ears? Your mind? Your heart to the things I have prepared for you? It\u2019s a year of &#8220;Yes! Yes! Yes, Lord!&#8221; for this year you\u2019re going to see great and mighty things you\u2019ve never known before and you\u2019ve never seen before! I am your Dad and you are My kids. Trust Me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 24, 2023 The Lord gave Emil this word: You are My children and I am your Dad. I\u2019m not just your friend.
