KEY POINTS

  • Self-Respect Comes Through the Father's Eyes - A child learns to respect themselves and love themselves. by looking at what their dad thinks of them.  So pulling the Father's love into deeper spaces means developing love for ourselves.  

  • It’s the Father's Good Pleasure to Give the Kingdom - This means letting go of the world's broken, temporal kingdom, like discarding old wineskins to receive new wine.

  • God Gives Gifts - The Prophet/Giver connection is like the birth-to-nurture passage. The counterfeit stronghold trafficking these gifts is the Prince of Babylon, which includes human trafficking, entertainment, technology, and celebrity culture where excellence without love reigns.

  • False Light of Celebrity and Performance - Babylon exalts cold excellence and performance without warmth or humanity, making image and competition more important than connection and care, creating a culture where you're valued for what you do rather than who you are.

  • Self-Hatred Gets Projected Outward - When we internalize self-hatred deeply enough, we project it onto others and start hating them too. This dynamic can show up as fawning, which isn't love but fear of not being loved back.

  • Lost Gifts Are Signs of Deeper Work - When new gifts appear and then seem to get lost or stolen, God may allow it so we go deeper and become more self-secure, ensuring that bigger gifts in the next round won't be taken.

  • Inner Children Need Your Parental Protection – We should not allow ruthless people to invade our inner Holy of Holies—the temple of the Holy Spirit. Loss of trust with ourselves can happen when we internalize that we aren't worthy of love and start turning on ourselves in that area.

  • We Cannot Love Neighbors Without Self-Love - As we love ourselves we are better able to love others; as we shame ourselves we will shame others. Loving God, loving yourself, and loving others are inseparable.

  • Vision of the Olive Tree - Zia saw Jesus shaking an olive tree and one olive fell out, then preparing a martini glass, illustrating how Jesus is a mixologist who shakes things up to get what He needs from us.

  • God's Kingdom is Beautiful Love - The Babylon counterfeit wants beauty without loving connection, but God's kingdom operates on human warmth. This requires us to first stop being ruthless with ourselves before we can truly be warm with others.

ALIVE AND VIBRANT

I love when you linger with Me. 

So don’t let our time become just a habit, a ritual, a philosophy, or anything you perform to try to bring about My love.  I am an ever-living, present God, communing directly with you.  I am not a religion.  I am so much more if only you seek My face with a sincere and pure heart.

I need more than periodic attention in a prayer time or to a book of words.  I am alive and vibrant.  You have already experienced how I burst through the world with the power of My life-changing presence. 

Visions, sensations, and prophecy are only carriers of the way.  Words cannot fully describe Me, nor can feelings fully contain Me.  I am existing in realms of glory you don’t yet know, healing places within the soul, through My leading and your surrender.

Never underestimate how I envelop your situations.  The intellect can’t comprehend where I’m coming from and where I’ll go in your situation, as well as the gifts I bestow for the glorious renewal I am always bringing.  There is no hopelessness with Me.

I will always intervene when you invite Me in, and even when you do not.  I love you too much to leave the situation the same.  There is too much of My presence available to settle.

Keep seeking and receiving.  Be open and get ready for more of Me.  I won’t hold back.  I don’t have to.  My portion is infinitely full and more than you’ll need.  Expect it all from Me and I’ll take you beyond.


“My soul thirsts for the living God.”
Psalm 42:2
