Don’t Let Satan Cheat You Out of a Family

God gave me a very strong revelation, and it has changed my life.

This happened on around January 2.

For a long time, I have been asking God to help me to love him and be close to him. Greasy, lying preachers tell us to ask God for money, spouses, healing, and so on, as though he were nothing but a genie. We are also taught to follow rules so we get points and win the game of Christianity, earning places in heaven. That’s completely wrong. We don’t earn anything. It’s better to pray for God to clean you up and help you to be like him, and you should pray for him to help you to obey the two fundamental commandments: love God as intensely as possible, and love others as you love yourself.

When I prophesy, God keeps saying, “Be close to me and love me.”

In 2021, one of my pets died, and it was my fault. I hesitated to take him to the University of Florida, where they said I might sit in the waiting room for 12 hours. I took him to an incompetent vet who said he would be fine while antibiotics came from Arizona. This is how I lost Maynard the cockatoo.

He was extremely attached to me. He loved to he held and petted. The more an animal loves you, the more its death hurts you.

Several times, he has appeared to me in dreams, glowing and full of joy and love. In these dreams, I have held him and kissed him. I was so glad to see him. I was always glad to see him in life, but when he returned from the dead, it was more intense.

Over the last few days, God has helped me to feel as though he were holding me against himself, feeling his love and warmth go through me. It reminds me of the dreams I had about Maynard. I feel great relief in being close to God. I spend time in this state now, and it’s hard to break loose and come back to the world.

God showed me that we should love people as though they had just returned from the dead. Have you lost a child or spouse? How glad would you be if they returned and let you hold them? You would be beside yourself with relief.

He then reminded me of something. Yeshua did return from the dead, and so have we. We were dead before he saved us, even if we couldn’t see it. Yeshua feels as though he lifted us out of hell and took us into his embrace. This is why the angels in heaven celebrate so much when we are saved. They are celebrating our resurrections.

He showed me something else: in the story of the prodigal son, the father said, “It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.”

There is more. Look at Colossians 12.

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses. . .

Look at Romans 6: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

We are resurrected with him, and if we are resurrected, we have returned from the dead.

People who reject Yeshua reject a man who returned from the dead, as described in the story of the rich man in hell. He asked God to send Lazarus the beggar to warn his brothers, and God told him that if they didn’t believe the prophets and Moses, they wouldn’t believe one who returned from the dead.

This was not a parable. In parables, people don’t have names. Lazarus and the rich man are real people, and the events in the story happened.

Ephesians 2 says God “quickens” us, and “quicken” means “bring to life.” It says he has raised us up together.

I hate to put it this way, but we should be like dogs. If you have a dog, every time you come home, the dog treats you like you were just raised from the dead. He dances and jumps. He wags his tail. He becomes delirious with joy. It’s like he thought he would never see you again.

We should feel this way about Yeshua and about each other. After all, we don’t know how long we’ll have each other. Things happen. We should be intensely grateful for each other while we live.

God showed me something else: Yeshua, who is God, is called Emmanuel, or “God with us.” If you are not with God, you aren’t a success as a Christian.

Now I lie in bed feeling as though my cheek is pressed up against God, and I have a hard time making myself let go and talk to my wife. But when I’m back, I savor being with her. I press her against me.

God showed me some other things.

If we have this attitude about him and other people, then we treasure God and human beings. They become our treasures. What did he say about treasure? “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

If you treasure God and people, your heart will be for them, as it’s supposed to be.

God calls us his pearl of great price. He said the pearl of great price, worth everything a man had, represented the kingdom of heaven, and he said the kingdom was in us.

A pearl is treasure.

The Bible is very consistent, but you have to have the Holy Spirit’s help to see it. Smart theologians often go to hell because they rely on their minds.

When you are with God, he blesses you, and he keeps spirits that hate you away. It’s crucial to be with God.

God has also shown me how powerful humility is. It brings God close. It should be cultivated and prayed for. You can’t be close to God without humility, and without it, demons will always surround and inhabit you.

These things God showed me are very important, and everyone is supposed to have them. I suggest you ask for them and see how things change for you.
