Charles Slagle - Abba Calling. Hearing From the Fathers Heart Everyday of the Year

Daring Deliverer,

Go in peace. Every appointment I have planned for your joy. Every encounter, every transaction, and every move I have foreseen and established for your blessing. And why have I chosen you? Will it satisfy you if I tell you I did it because I wanted to?

I AM in control, so refuse to fear! Your faith will bring its own rewards, and you will lack no good thing; neither will you owe any man anythingexcept the debt of love.

Truly,

Dad

Struggling Deliverer,

Next time, begin the day with authority. I gave you not a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, power, and of self-management. Begin to act like it. Decide to keep a sense of humor. Laugh at all mistakes, interruptions, and obstacles, and stop worrying about your ignorance.

Actually, I AM in charge of your ignorance as well as your knowledge. Arent you relieved? Think about it. Hasnt your mouth uttered deeper wisdom than you dreamed possible when you have simply been yourself, while oblivious to the tensions, the issues around you? Someone ignorant of all the rules can be a miracle-worker, and the knowledge of too many problems can create a prison. Remember that all belongs to Me, whether things revealed or things yet to appear. And you belong to Me.

Live in the joy of that fact. Thanks!

Always,

Abba

Tired Trooper,

Thank you for trusting and for not giving up. Yes, you yelped and squirmed a little. So what? You stood, stubbornly trusting My Word. Thats what counts! Yes, you wavered for a momentbut have you noticed? Your lapses are growing farther apart. They are also shorter and less profound when they occur. Your progress delights Me!

Expect strength to surge within you as you go, trusting in Me. I can pack the benefits of twelve hours of sleep into two. No problem! Dare to arise, singing!

Todays revelation? Keep walking. I AM!

Yours joyfully,

Dad

Devoted Disciple,

As I have promised, you will see the King reigning in glory! You will recognize the true reign of Christ when His anointed co-regents no longer strive and quibble about words, but walk in the power of Kingdom love. When hurting people can look to one of His followers as a mighty rock providing cool shade and protection, or as a stream springing forth in a parched desert, the reign of My Son will then be self-evidentunmistakably obvious and undeniable.

Now do you see why I have been allowing you these opportunities to show patience and forgiveness? I have been answering your prayers. Do you remember? I do. You have repeatedly prayed for love, unity, and cooperation among the members of our house, and, naturally, I have begun the work in you. As you are discovering, no one is more dedicated to the principle of first things first than I.

Cheer up! Despite your doubts, you are progressing better than you think. And bear in mind that your brothers and sisters are undergoing the very same training throughout the world. As I have told you, the Church and the world are on the brink of an unprecedented wave of My glory and power. Right now, I AM preparing you and many others for mighty healing exploits that will bring great joy to people everywhere. Meanwhile, will you be patient with yourself? With others? And with Me? I AM!

Many thanks,

Dad

Unrelenting Warrior,

Tired minds need rest, not more information bombarding them! I have moremuch moreto tell you. Many marvels, revelations, and gifts await your discovery. But first you must rest. Then you will receive them as blessings and not as burdens.

Refusing rest makes the mind vulnerable to vices. Seduction loves to entrap My trustworthy workers by whispering, Break time! I would weep seeing you broken.

I dont mind repeatingrest in My love! You will have to, sooner or later. Why not begin now?

Tenderly,

Dad

Fretful Freedom Fighter,

Shall I tell you about real joy? Joy begins by knowing Me and then is multiplied by taking an interest in peoplenot things, conditions, or acquisitions. And happiness never just happens. No, happiness is a resulta by-product. One feels it by receiving My love and joy and then giving them away. Happiness is a choice. A man or a woman must decide to be happynow. Has it ever come to your mind that most unhappiness stems from ingratitude and failure to take pleasure in the gifts you already have?

Child, when will you learn to joy in the midst of all circumstances? If they be hard, delightful, or perhaps just suddenly differentlay hold of contentment and take joy as My gift! It is My gift, for contentment comes not by external conditionsit is the fruit of simply trusting in Me.

Again, happiness is a choice! So, in a very important sense, to choose happiness is to welcome the Kingdom of Heaven. Will you welcome it now? Be happy! Find reasons to rejoice and make opportunities to relieve the sufferings of others. Learn to be content in every circumstanceincluding this present one. Begin now to enjoy and advance our Kingdom by giving thanks. Your joy will overflow, I promise.

By the way, you are obviously right about one thingI have not answered some of your prayers, for I have deliberately ignored your pleas that I shorten your earthly days and immediately transfer you to Heaven. And you should be grateful that I have. Honestly, child. You had no idea what you were asking. I mean, in your recent frame of mind your presence here would hardly have proven a blessing to youor to any of the rest of us, for that matter!

Truly but tenderly,

Dad

Sorrowful Child,

So you want revenge, do you? Good luck! Youll need all the luck you can get without God.

I know. You sought counsel and received condemning judgment instead. People scorned your weakness and exploited your pain. Foolish mortals! Pray for them, child. Your betrayers must learn mercy the hard way. I promise you, they will learn.

Forgiveness is an act of the will. My will inclines toward forgiveness. Arent you grateful? Then please align your will with Mine. No pressure. I will help you. I love you too much to hold grudges.

All I ask is that you choose to forgive, and I will help you forget. Youre doing your part. Thank you for trusting while Im doing Mine. You will not always suffer this pain. Thank you for yielding your rights to Me. Arent you glad theres nothing left to violate?

With deepest compassion and respect,

Abba

Delightful Deliverer!

You are not wrong to be stepping out in faith at the moment. After all, I AM the One who released you into this path by My very own words, am I not? Just remember not to judge by outward appearances. Also, refuse to retreat into doubt and introspection when some of those little steps you are taking seem to fall short of shaking Heaven and earth. Bear in mindit is first the seed and the sprout, then the stalk and the foliage, and finally the flower and the fruit.
