I see the importance of each day, the necessary view of being with You in the moment. But I sometimes get caught up in the idea of preparing for a future event, as if that is the most important thing I should be concentrating upon – be it the coming greater war, or some financial question to be solved for my future contentment. Somehow I need to find contentment in the now: I believe I do for the most part but find myself drifting to what I believe are the greater things needing attention. I want to be informed but do not want the information to dictate a response – I want to respond from a presence within You.

I see the desire, but it is unnecessary to measure your desire to a standard of performance, as if you could see yourself improving in thought or manner. Events will always be in the panorama of our relationship, but they do not dictate a necessary action from us. They are not unusual, not new, but reappear always within the cycles of man. They cry for response yet will never change even after a response is given.
This is the pull you feel – that somehow an action by you will prevent a certain thing from happening again. You know this to be untrue, yet you are pulled to always do something, to end the pain and suffering others are enduring. You see that there is power to do so, and so it should be done.
But Wisdom sees from a higher level: He sees that events are an outcome from a deeper place within man that struggles for dominance. It is there our vision lies, for it is there where overcoming lies, where victory is final, and it is there where you need to be looking. We would not look where the immediate circumstance would have you look, as if in distraction – but where the maker of distraction lies – as if by having you see pain and destruction your efforts would be there and not at the place of evil.
It is as you have seen before: you fight what is in front of you, and neglect the strength of the enemy behind, weakening you with the continual barrage of his arrows of doubt, pulling at your weaknesses until you finally refuse to fight any longer. It is a battle of attrition of your energy in walking with Me. But now you see that I am not in the midst of these battles, that I see the whole from the part, that My eyes are upon each but also all, for in overcoming the power against all the power against each is overcome.
The enemy would have you fight as he does, use the same weapons, look and speak the way he does. But he is a master of his tools: his judgments, distortions, fears, even his wisdom would he encourage you to use too, for in that he sows division, separation from each other, and separation from Me.
But our weapons are not his weapons: we do not fight as he, nor use his strategies. No, we fight from a higher perspective – one of love, against which no weapon formed can succeed. For love has a power that cannot be defeated but conquers all. And it is from here that your perspective lies.
When you see current events that you perceive may lead to a greater negative outcome what should be your response? A greater frontal assault, more power extended, a greater call up of spiritual weapons you have used before without success? Or should your response be from a higher source – one of creation, one from the miraculous, one from as you have seen: the space between the obvious responses – the space between the stars?
It is from here you will have the victory you seek, a place within My presence, the unknown possibilities, the miracles unseen by any. Abide here, in this place with Me; create from here; imagine from here. From here you will see clearly; you will not drift into the battle but will be encouraged by what you see to discover who you are and all battles will then cease. Even now you have seen rain; even now you are moving in peace. In like manner use what you are seeing as a means to be where I Am, and watch what happens.
Going Deeper:

I see the desire, but it is unnecessary to measure your desire to a standard of performance, as if you could see yourself improving in thought or manner. Events will always be in the panorama of our relationship, but they do not dictate a necessary action from us. They are not unusual, not new, but reappear always within the cycles of man. They cry for response yet will never change even after a response is given.
Your heart's yearning is a precious gem, one that sparkles with its own intrinsic brilliance. There is no need to hold it up against the cold, indifferent light of an external benchmark. Your growth, much like the unfolding of a flower, is a natural progression, beautiful in its authenticity, requiring no measurement or comparison.
Our shared journey is to be rich with events, each a vibrant thread in the intricate pattern of your life. Yet, these moments, though they may clamor for our attention, do not command our actions. They are but echoes of human experience, familiar refrains in the symphony of existence, cycling through time as surely as the stars wheel through the night sky.
Each event calls out seeking our reaction, yet remains unchanged by our response - repeating, ever the same, perennially teaching the timeless lessons of life. Let this truth be peace to your heart; allow it to elevate your thoughts.
For in understanding this, you will find the freedom to dance with life's rhythm, unbound by the weight of expectation, and uplifted by the knowledge that our journey together transcends the ordinary and the expected.
This is the pull you feel – that somehow an action by you will prevent a certain thing from happening again. You know this to be untrue, yet you are pulled to always do something, to end the pain and suffering others are enduring. You see that there is power to do so, and so it should be done.
This is the tug you feel within, that gentle yet insistent call to act – that somehow an action by you will shield others from recurring sorrow, perhaps prevent it from happening again. You know this to be untrue, yet you are always pulled to do something, to end the pain and suffering others are enduring. You see that there is power to do so, and so it should be done.
You recognize the strength you hold, the capacity to offer solace, to express the boundless compassion that resides in your soul, urging you to reach out, to heal, to serve. The knowledge that your actions, while they might not alter the grand design, can still bring light into the darkest corners, can alleviate pain, can whisper hope where despair once reigned.
You are here to make a difference, one heart, one moment at a time.
But Wisdom sees from a higher level: He sees that events are an outcome from a deeper place within man that struggles for dominance. It is there our vision lies, for it is there where overcoming lies, where victory is final, and it is there where you need to be looking. We would not look where the immediate circumstance would have you look, as if in distraction – but where the maker of distraction lies – as if by having you see pain and destruction your efforts would be there and not at the place of evil.
Wisdom, with His elevated perspective, understands that the events we witness are merely the manifestations of a profound internal conflict within humanity, a struggle for supremacy between the forces of light and shadow. It is within this inner realm that our true focus must reside, for here lies the essence of overcoming - and the potential for ultimate victory.
Rather than being captivated by the immediate and often chaotic circumstances that surround us, we are encouraged to look beyond - to the source of these distractions.
Wisdom invites us not to fixate on the visible pain and destruction - which are merely the symptoms - but to delve into the deeper place, where the true adversary of our peace and progress would attack. Here, in this deeper understanding and confrontation, lies the path to not just temporary relief but to lasting transformation and enlightenment.
Look there, for there is where your efforts will truly count: not against the immediate circumstances, but with Wisdom's help, engage in the most meaningful battle - against the root of discord itself.
Luke 4.1-13
It is as you have seen before: you fight what is in front of you, and neglect the strength of the enemy behind, weakening you with the continual barrage of his arrows of doubt, pulling at your weaknesses until you finally refuse to fight any longer. It is a battle of attrition of your energy in walking with Me. But now you see that I am not in the midst of these battles, that I see the whole from the part, that My eyes are upon each but also all, for in overcoming the power against all the power against each is overcome.
In the journey of life you have encountered a familiar struggle: you fight what is in front of you and neglect the strength of the enemy behind - weakening you with the continual barrage of his arrows of doubt, pulling at your weaknesses until you finally are unable to fight any longer.
Yet, I not only see the fray of these daily battles, but the entire tapestry of your life. My gaze encompasses each individual skirmish, but more importantly, it embraces the entirety of your journey.
Therefore, let your eyes remain on Me and not on your circumstances. In understanding this, you will realize that by overcoming the overarching force that opposes you, every smaller conflict is rendered powerless.
Then each step you take with Me in faith, each moment you choose resilience over surrender, contributes to a victory that moves beyond the immediate. It is through this perspective that your strength is renewed, and your spirit emboldened, for in Me, the victory over all is already yours.
The enemy would have you fight as he does, use the same weapons, look and speak the way he does. But he is a master of his tools: his judgments, distortions, fears, even his wisdom would he encourage you to use too, for in that he sows division, separation from each other, and separation from Me.
In the dance of life, where shadows try to lead, the adversary beckons you to mirror his steps—wielding his weapons, adopting his look, echoing his voice.
He is a master of his tools: judgments that cloud, distortions that divide, fears that bind, and even a wisdom twisted to mislead. He would have you believe that by adopting these you gain strength or insight.
But understand this path leads only to further division from one another and separation from Me.
Instead, choose to dance through life differently: let your steps be guided by love, your words by truth, and your heart by compassion. In this choice, you not only resist the discord the enemy would sow, but also cultivate a harmony with others that reconnects, heals, and uplifts.
Remember that in unity with each other - and with Me - you find the true power to transform the world.
But our weapons are not his weapons: we do not fight as he, nor use his strategies. No, we fight from a higher perspective – one of love, against which no weapon formed can succeed. For love has a power that cannot be defeated but conquers all. And it is from here that your perspective lies.
But our weapons are not his weapons: we do not fight as he, nor use his strategies. Our battles are not waged with the arms of discord, nor do we tread the path of animosity.
No, we fight from a higher perspective – one of love, against which no weapon formed can succeed. For love is our shield and our sword, and has a power that cannot be defeated but conquers all.
It is from here that your perspective should lie: from this lofty viewpoint, you will stand - armored in compassion, wielding the might of kindness.
For love is the ultimate victor in the heart's enduring quest for peace.
When you see current events that you perceive may lead to a greater negative outcome what should be your response? A greater frontal assault, more power extended, a greater call up of spiritual weapons you have used before without success? Or should your response be from a higher source – one of creation, one from the miraculous, one from as you have seen: the space between the obvious responses – the space between the stars?
When faced with the unfolding tapestry of current events that seem to cast long shadows of potential negativity, do not consider the path of escalation or the repetition of past strategies in response. Instead, seek a response inspired by Me - the creative essence that lies in the vast, mysterious spaces between the stars.
Imagine your response as a gentle, yet profound, act of creation. Like an artist who, instead of using force, chooses the stroke of a brush to transform a blank canvas, or a poet who with mere words can alter the course of rivers in the mind, your approach should emanate from a place of innovation and light.
Let your actions be saturated with the miracle of something new: that which springs not from the obvious, well-trodden paths, but from the silent, fertile voids where stars are born.
Here, in this sacred space, your response can weave threads of hope, understanding, and transformation - much like the universe itself expands and evolves in the silence between its luminous bodies.
Thus, when darkness looms, let your light be not of confrontation but of creation, where every act is a step towards healing, every word a seed for growth, and every thought a beacon for peace. Let your soul's response be as if it's drawn from the very essence of the cosmos, turning shadows into the fertile ground of new possibilities.
It is from here you will have the victory you seek, a place within My presence, the unknown possibilities, the miracles unseen by any. Abide here, in this place with Me; create from here; imagine from here. From here you will see clearly; you will not drift into the battle but will be encouraged by what you see to discover who you are and all battles will then cease. Even now you have seen rain; even now you are moving in peace. In like manner use what you are seeing as a means to be where I Am, and watch what happens.
Here, in the sanctuary of My presence, you stand at the threshold of every victory you seek.
This is the sacred space where unknown possibilities bloom like unseen miracles, waiting just beyond the veil of the ordinary.
Dwell here with Me. Let this be the fertile ground from which your dreams take root and your creativity flourishes. Here, your vision will sharpen, free from the fog of daily battles. You'll not merely survive the conflicts; you'll overcome them, discovering the essence of who you truly are.
Even as you stand here, notice the rain that has begun to fall, symbolizing the renewal and peace already at work within you. Embrace this moment, use it as your compass to remain in My presence. From this vantage point, watch in awe as all struggles fade into insignificance, and life unfolds in its intended beauty and harmony.
