    About this ebook

    Have you ever wondered how God speaks to us? This book will reveal one of the ways he speaks to us in his word from the Bible. I have learned how to hear from God through the word and by his Holy Spirit, but I have always believed that the Holy Spirit speaks the word to us when he teaches us. You have to know the word of God to hear the voice of the Shephard. Since the Word is a sharp, two-edged sword, it will reveal the spiritual word against your fleshly knowledge and rightfully divide it, leaving you to decide what you will choose to do and follow. The Message was created by using the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit inspired me to share it with the world. The Holy Spirit speaks and teaches us from the Word of God, and it changes and renews our minds to a new way of thinking. The Word changes our lives if we choose to do it and not just read it. The Holy Spirit is, in fact, our greatest teacher; and only he can reveal all truth to you. I hope The Message encourages you to spend time in his presence and in his Word.

      Introduction

      First of all, I want to express my gratitude to God and give him all credit for this book and for all he has done in my life, and to the Holy Spirit of God for being so patient with me. My journey with Yeshua/Jesus, our Christ, has been nothing short of a miracle. The lover of my soul and the Savior of my life is so much more than what I can mentally and spiritually comprehend.

      Psalm 18:30 (NKJV)

      As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in him.

      One of my desires was for the body of Christ to know that he speaks. The spirit of God speaks in many ways; we just have to slow down and listen. When God started answering me in his Word, it was life-changing for me. My relationship with Jesus the Word was like a waltz between me and him, learning every move and turn with the Savior of my soul. I would pray and then ask him a question, and he would answer me in his Word and sometimes in dreams. The first time he answered me in the Word, I cried for a while because I knew from that moment, he was real and alive, and he heard me and answered me. God is never short of surprises. And one day, for the first time, I heard a voice that changed my life even more, and that was the voice of the Holy Spirit of God. When the spirit of God teaches you, he will give you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the Word of God.

      I want you to know that the love of Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit is absolutely life-changing and beautiful beyond what I can express. I hope this book brings you hope, faith, wisdom, love, and much understanding of who Christ is and what the purpose of our life is in him, which brings me to this book.

      The instructions I received from the Holy Spirit were to write this book without chapters and to place the scriptures where he needed me to put them. The Holy Spirit wants everyone to know that He speaks, and the Word is alive and powerful. When you read this book, read it as if you are reading a letter written to you, which by the way, it is. The book, chapter, and verses of the scriptures are on the far right of the page and in a smaller font so they would not distract you from reading the paragraphs continuously, like a letter. So it is a continuous read. So get a bookmark to mark where you left off. And most importantly, read it slowly; the meal of the Word is good.

      The Word is speaking to you from the beginning to the end in the Bible, and he is waiting for you to enjoy the meal of his Word. It has the power to change your soul. I encourage you to faithfully read the Word of God in the Bible with the Holy Spirit, and you will be on a life-changing journey with the Lord.

      God bless you.

      Holy Spirit of God

      August 10, 2022

      For many come to know the truth through the word. Let's apply the Word in this book and open the eyes of their understanding. Many are in a state of confusion, not knowing what is right or wrong. The spirit of confusion has to flee at the presence of the Word of God and especially when it has order, knowledge, and understanding.

      This book will challenge the flesh of many who still look to fleshly outward observances. They cannot save themselves. Only the Lord was able to make a way when there seemed to be no way. He went to the cross to set the children of God free, and it's only because of that. Salvation was made available for the soul. The sacrifice he made for all of you was so that no one would boast in themselves as Satan did against God. There is only one way to the Father, and that is through his Son. For a love so great, Father God has given salvation as a free gift to many. He wishes that all men come to the knowledge and the truth of who he is to repent from their sins, be washed in the blood, be saved, transformed by the renewing of their mind.

      The Word is all-powerful all by itself, but you need to believe that he is and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek him. My child, understand that all things in this life have a purpose, meaning, lesson, and direction. You just have to be aware of what has been set before you to understand what it is you need to learn. You should always strive to grow in Christ by the renewing of your mind but mostly in your relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Having a strong relationship with God and his word will strengthen one's belief and assurance to see the Word come alive in their lives. It is the combination of a relationship and the Word that create the most beautiful love, strength, faith, belief in God, and the kingdom of heaven.

      For a person to know their soul and spirit is in the hands of the Creator of the universe, and no one can snatch them away from God Almighty, knowing whose you are and believing the Word when it says, who the Son sets free is free indeed. That is why, the seed of the Word has to be sown in the soil of the believer to bring up the good fruit, understanding that the seed planted will always bring a harvest. To sow and reap was set in the beginning and will continue. Many have not understood the power of words. And the most toxic are words watered with fear, for the very thing they fear shall come to pass. Watering the seed with your faith is what helps it to grow. Whether the words spoken are good or bad, they will bring forth a harvest. Remember, as a man thinks, it will come to pass.

      For the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the violent takes it by force. Use the Word, stand on the Word, and take what is rightfully yours because the enemy goes to and fro, like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour (to consume or destroy with devastating force). He comes to kill, steal, and destroy the seed and the promises given to the children of God. If the enemy is allowed to consume the promise given to the children of God, then the harvest will be one of devastation. The seed has to fall on good ground to bring forth thirty, sixty, and one hundred full harvests. Just as Satan came to Eve in the garden of Eden, he comes to the children of God in the same way, subtle and deceptive of words given to the children of God by speaking lies into their ears. The children must follow the voice of the great shepherd and not follow the voice of the stranger. Know who you are to God and what you are entitled to in your new life in Christ Jesus. Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God—not only hearing but understanding that you must seek first the kingdom of heaven and all its righteousness—and all these things shall be added unto you. You must seek fullheartedly, not swaying or wavering, holding onto the Word as an anchor to your soul. Only Christ can set the soul of man free from all bondage, hurts, fears, torments, and hurtful memories. The soul needs deliverance from memories, from moments in time when a portion of your soul was left traumatized. These memories leave an open door to the enemy for him to replay bad memories, hurtful words, strife, feelings of abandonment, and despair. All this, the Lord Jesus Christ wants to save and deliver your broken soul from. He wants to deliver and set you free from these seeds that the enemy had sown into your heart by pulling them out by their roots. It is the bad fruit which comes from these roots, which become addictions emotionally, and physically.

      What people need has already been accomplished. They just need to receive the Word by faith and believe in what Jesus Christ has accomplished and finished.

      The Word is crucial to the life of the believer because the Word is all-powerful and alive. It speaks, washes, and renews the very soul and spirit of every believer. Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers!

      Luke 4:14–21 (NLT)

      Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit's power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written:

      "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and
