My children, your hearts must align with all heavenly matters. Your eyes look upwards towards heaven, not at the things on earth. Your steps are actively guided by me, and I keep you from stumbling. Although your hearts do not understand many things, you walk by faith in Jesus Christ. You traverse paths you never imagined before, and roads that earthly people cannot find.
This path has been walked by Jesus Christ. Through the life of Jesus Christ, you will walk it too. Walking along it brings freedom and great power. The life of Jesus Christ is already within you, obtained when you believed in Jesus. Because of the cross of Jesus Christ, your old self has died with him. And when Jesus Christ rose, you also obtained this new life that transcends death. This new life ascends to heaven.
You need not ask for what you have already received; you only need to deny yourselves daily, take up your cross, and follow Jesus Christ to live it out. You need not ponder how to live out a heavenly life; the heavenly life will manifest itself. You only need to deny yourself, refuse your own ideas, and you will live it out.
Denying yourself is not about suppressing yourself or becoming thoughtless; it's about having an even more vibrant and complete heart. You hear your own ideas and various thoughts, but you resolutely choose the heavenly matters revealed in your heart by the Holy Spirit. Though the voice is gentle, you choose it steadfastly. You still hear the suggestions and accusations of the flesh, but your will remains firm.
With the Holy Spirit dwelling within you, building you up, each act of obedience strengthens your spirit, and the flesh will weaken. Eventually, your own ideas will align with the heavenly ideas, your opinions will be mine, and your feelings will be mine.
My children, do not underestimate the work of the Holy Spirit. He builds your heart, enabling you to shed former earthly habits completely and live out a fully heavenly form. You are not being annulled, nor are you being controlled by the Holy Spirit without yourself. Rather, it is because of the heavenly life that you are more complete.
My children, you find freedom in the love of Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ, you come to me fearlessly because you truly believe that I love you for what Jesus Christ has done. Since it is accomplished by Jesus Christ, it is completely done. You do not need to add anything by your own efforts. What Jesus Christ accomplished will endure forever, unaffected by your circumstances.
My children, approach me fearlessly, face to face. You clearly know my thoughts, and I help you in all matters. My presence with you is an everyday occurrence. You will see my face not only in the future but also now, while on earth, though unseen by your eyes, you genuinely experience my presence, my true help, and companionship.
My children, with what you have received, you ought to know it more. By knowing Him, you will see how great and beautiful the works that Jesus Christ has accomplished for you are. By knowing me, your faith will grow stronger. Your growth is in walking daily with the Holy Spirit.
You walk a path of peace, with wondrous inheritances ahead. Your abundance is not just for the distant future; you already experience it every day here on earth.
