Before he was born, that day I woke up early to pray for our daughter while she was in labor and had not delivered yet. This is what I received in my two-way conversation with God:

<p><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/best-one.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10903" title="best one" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/best-one-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Last Sunday (Jan. 29, 2012), our daughter delivered a beautiful boy, <strong>Luca Dominic</strong>, who has come to bless us and this world with his life! A great important day for us!</p>
<p>Before he was born, that day I woke up early to pray for our daughter while she was in labor and had not delivered yet. This is what I received in my two-way conversation with God:</p>
<p>(<strong>Praise</strong>): Thank You, Lord, that You <em>“do all things well” (Mk.7:37)</em> and that <em>“all things work together for the good of those who love You” (Rom. 8:28)</em>. Your word says: <em>“Believe and you will be saved, both you and your family”</em><strong> </strong><em>(Acts 16:31).</em> My family is under Your blessings and I pray that my daughter will be well and her childbirth will be natural and healthy for both mother and child! Thank You that we don’t have to carry our burdens, because we can trust them to You and You take care of them. Thank You Jesus! I give you praise, honor and glory, for all that You have done in our lives and You continue to do for us!</p>
<p>You are the eternal King of glory Who rules and reigns the universe for eternity! <em>&#8220;We have not chosen You, but You have chosen us, and ordained us, that we should bring forth fruit&#8221; (John 15:16)</em>! Thank You for the fruit of our womb! Thank You that, like Abraham with Isaac, this child has been blessed from his mother’s womb to receive Your anointing and Spirit, even before his birth, to fulfill his divine destiny and make a positive difference in this world. Thank you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I give you honor and glory, in the name of Jesus!</p>
<p>Please speak to me about this child and reveal Your wisdom and knowledge, amen.</p>
<p><em>(<strong>WFJ</strong>): Fear not, for I am with you and with all that you trust in My  care! I have promised to never leave you nor forsake you, and so it is also with this child of Mine that I have cared for, and continue to care for, ever since she was a little one! My Spirit is upon both mother and baby, because the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life! </em></p>
<p><em>“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life” (Prov. 11:30)! Your daughter is the fruit of your wife’s womb of righteousness and she is a tree of life. What comes out of her womb is life! Luca will be a boy full of life, and he will give My life to others as a witness and a testimony! I proclaim that this child will be a “life bearer”, for he will be filled with My Spirit of life flowing through his being and touching others with My life! </em></p>
<p><em>Rest in Me, My son, and let Me finish what I started! I have started a good work in your life, and the lives of those who have come forth of your loins, and I will complete it until the end. My works are perfect and none of the things that you trust into My care will be forgotten, for they will all fulfill their purpose, the reason for which they were sent out into this world! Have faith and enter into your rest! I will take care of both mother and child! I love you! </em></p>
<p>Later on that morning, I received news that the baby was born and both mother and child were fine, so I went back to my prayer closet and had further intimate time with the Lord:</p>
<p>(<strong>Praise</strong>): “Lord, thank You for the news I just received that baby Luca is born a healthy baby and that both mother and child are fine, just as You promised! Thank you that You do all things well and that we can trust You to make all things work together for our good! I praise You and worship You and give You honor and glory. Please give me a word of blessing for this new born child, Luca. In Your precious Name I ask, amen.</p>
<p><em>(<strong>WFJ</strong>): Let it be written, and let it be proclaimed, that a mighty one has been born today, a man of valor that will speak life into the hearts of many! This is a child that will bear witness of the life that I have given him and he will be a “life bearer”, bearing My life into the lives of many! As the mantle of My anointing falls upon him, he will rise up to his divine destiny and will be &#8220;a tree of life&#8221;, bearing fruits of life like his grandparents!</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/leo-meets-luca.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10954" title="leo meets luca" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/leo-meets-luca-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="266" height="200" /></a>How will he be a “life bearer”, you ask Me? By his testimony, and by the fruits of his lips! “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life” (Prov 15:4). He will speak My words of life into the hearts of many! </em></p>
<p><em>And how will he be “a tree of life”, you ask Me? By winning souls for My Kingdom! “</em><em>The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise”<strong> </strong>(Prov 11:30). </em></p>
<p><em>I’m gifting this one with the gift of wisdom and he will be wise in his speech and his tongue will be a tree of life, for he will win many souls for My Kingdom. </em></p>
<p><em>“Write the vision, and make it plain on tables, that he may run when he reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time” (Hab. 2:2-3). When that time comes, it will bring forth much fruit! Mark these words and write them down! Make them plain on tables, for they will empower him to run the race that is set before him, when he will read it!</em></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
We want to thank all of you who have been praying for this birth! This is our 4th grandchild and, as with each one of them, we feel greatly blessed! Thank for your support.<br />

<p>Every day offers us a new opportunity to face life with real faith and determination, knowing that we are not alone in this world, but are being led to our glorious destiny!</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The Spirit of our Father which speaks in us (Matt. 10:20)</em> awaits us each morning to give us strength for the day, through the <strong>Words From Jesus</strong> that He whispers into our hearts.</p>
<p><strong>WFJ:</strong> &#8220;I love you, My child, and I want to talk with you! I woke you up early for this purpose! Never forget and underestimate the important lesson that I have taught you over the years, that <em>“one thing is needful” (Luke 10:42)</em> and that the most important job you have is to <strong>stop</strong>, <strong>look</strong> and <strong>listen</strong> to My whispers, or you are going to get run over by the cares of life, instead of you taking control of your life and running over them!<br />
<a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/StormPilot.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-10347" title="StormPilot" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/StormPilot.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="156" /></a></p>
<p>I want you to have control of your life, instead of being controlled by its cares and worries! Worries and cares you will always have plenty in life, but you can learn to be still and navigate through them in full faith, by firmly taking a hold of its helm and listening to My whispers to boldly face all the challenges and excitement of life! Life is meant to be exciting, not boring, for you!</p>
<p>Life is exciting, and it’s meant to be! Life was never meant to be “business as usual”, but every day should provide new challenges and excitement to keep you alive! Boredom and stagnation is spiritual death, but I made life to be alive, moving and growing  to experience the full joy of living it! Heaven is full of life, and what awaits you up here is also excitement and constant changes! Don’t buy into the commercial lie that “Heaven is boring, because you all get to do is sitting on a cloud and playing harp for eternity”! Although there are those who like to do that once in a while, to create new music and play a new tune, yet most of eternity is spent learning, growing and enjoying it with other citizens of My Kingdom. There are plenty of new worlds to explore up here and you will never get bored, believe Me!</p>
<p>This is why I made life on earth to also be exciting with constant change and challenges, ups and downs, hills and valleys to cross, as you move forward into your personal destiny! Don’t ever fear what awaits you, but face it head on with full faith and courage, knowing that I have made it to be a challenge, so that you would not get bored! As you face your future with faith and determination, you will see its picture unfold and reveal clearly the plans that I have for you, <em>“plans of peace and not to harm you, to give hope and a future” (Jer. 29:11)!</em></p>
<p>Things are exciting for you up ahead, on the road that you are walking, but trust Me, <em>&#8220;I will never leave you nor forsake you&#8221; (Heb. 13:5b),</em> and I will make <em>&#8220;all things work together for your good&#8221; (Rom. 8:28)</em>, for I know the plans that I have for you, and I’m holding your hand! Take a firm hold of it, for I’m here to walk hand in hand with you, and together we will face any odds, challenge any storm and will command peace to the elements in order to make the path straight and help you get to your destination!</p>
<p>Up ahead there are some exciting things awaiting you, things that might even be a bit scary if you tend to be apprehensive, but trust Me and take hold of My hand, because you are not alone, and together we will defy the odds and conquer the land that I have promised you! Soon you will see the fulfillment of all that I have promised you and you will know that this was not your imagination, but it was My vision that I planted in you.&#8221;<br />

P.S.: We all need someone to walk with us along the path of life, someone who believes in us and will cheer us up when we fall and need the courage to start moving forward again! The voice of God&#8217;s Spirit who lives in us is the <em>&#8220;Comforter&#8221; (John 14:16)</em> and <em>&#8220;Counselor&#8221; (Isa. 9:6)</em> of our lives, but if you also need an earthly life coach who will be your cheerleader and walk with you for a distance on the road up ahead, please do not hesitate to contact us and find out how to join a “walk of life” with us.</p>

<p><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sunrise-3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10290" title="sunrise-3" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sunrise-3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="230" /></a>(<strong>Words From Jesus</strong>): &#8220;Your inspiration come from spending time with Me in the early morning, before the world around you wakes up and starts moving and you get pulled away by the many things that you think you must do. That’s why it’s so important that you go to sleep early at night, because the time that you waste at night, it’s time that you take away from Me in the morning. You need good rest to give Me first place in your life!</p>
<p>I’m the Author and Finisher of your faith and, without Me, you really don’t have the divine inspiration that you need to touch people’s lives with My Spirit of love! To have My Spirit and to live a Spirit-filled life, you need to spend enough time with Me in the morning, but to have that time with Me in the morning, you need to get some good rest at night, and to get that rest, you need to go to sleep early! When you are so tired that you can hardly think, that’s when you need to rest the most, but the enemy of mankind has invented things that keep them awake late at night, so that they don’t get the rest they need and are always nervous and uptight during the day! This comes from not having enough sleep at night …</p>
<p>You need a good balance in your life, not only to eat well and drink enough water during the day, but also to sleep well at night and have enough rest so you can get rid of all that your body and spirit don’t need from the things that you have absorbed during the day. Learn to discipline yourself and your life will be much more balanced. You will have more inspiration from spending time with Me in the early morning, and you will have more time for writing and helping people develop their faith and trust in Me.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and life&#8221; (John 6:63),</em> for they come straight from My Spirit and speak directly to your life. That’s what you need the most and foremost! That&#8217;s the <em>&#8220;one thing needful, which shall not be taken away from you&#8221; (Luke 10:42).</em></p>
<p>There’s nothing more important for you that spending time with Me first thing in the morning, and I want to help you come back to your <em>“first love”</em>… I cannot bless your work unless it’s submitted to My first place of priority in your life, so If you want a successful life and want to prosper in all you do, you must put Me first and give Me first place in your life! I love you.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;In the morning, rising up a great while before day, Jesus went out into a solitary place, and there He prayed.&#8221; (Mark 1:35)</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.&#8221; (John<span style="font-style: normal;"><em> 8:28 )</em></span></em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;You shall meditate on this book day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.&#8221; (Josh 1:8)</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;His delight is in the word of the Lord; and in His word does he meditate day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.&#8221; (Psalm 1:2-3)</em><br />

<p>(Morning Prayer):  Lord, I can’t even find the words to pray this morning, so I let my spirit pray and Your Spirit intercede for me, as I come to Your throne of grace to obtain mercy, and as I kneel in Your presence to hear Your whispers and listen to Your voice speaking to my heart! Speak to me, Jesus, and teach me the way to walk, Your servant is here to listen to Your voice. In Your precious Name, I pray. Amen.</p>
<p><em>(WFJ): &#8220;As you saw Me hanging on the cross, what did you see, My child? Did you see anger and wrath, or love and compassion in My eyes? If I was angry and mad with you, then I wouldn’t have hanged on the cross for you! I was there because I love you with an everlasting love and I desire to spend eternity with you! I desire to have you here with Me in My Father’s house, where there are many mansions! I desire you to sit with Me at the right hand of My throne, to rule and reign with Me in My Father’s Kingdom! </em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/prodgal-son.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10059" title="prodgal son" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/prodgal-son-300x273.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="200" /></a>I know that you consider yourself unworthy, and that’s why you came to Me as a prodigal son, just grateful to be numbered as one of My servants, but I was willing to sacrifice not only the fatted calf, but even My life for you, because I love you and I want you to be with Me! You are My beloved child, and nothing can separate you from My love! Nothing, not even your sins, can take you away from Me, because I did not come into the world to judge you, but I came that you might be saved, and My shed blood is enough for that! </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>My blood posted on your heart and soul is enough to spare you from all judgment and to welcome you in My Father’s presence as My beloved child! You don’t need anything else! You don’t need anything else but My blood to set you free! My love is enough to cover a multitude of sins, and to wash away any stain from you, simply because I love you!</em></p>
<p><em>I want you to rest in My love! I want you to be at peace in My presence, not carrying the load of guilt, but totally free to love Me and rest in My love! If you know that I love you and that you have nothing to worry about, because I love you and I’m taking care of you, then you can turn your eyes away from yourself, and seek for those who still need Me! There are those who don’t know that I love them are still carrying the load of sin and feel guilty in My presence, but I want you to let them know that they don’t have to worry, they just need to trust Me! My blood shed on the cross is enough to take care of their sins, so invite them to come and rest in My presence, to get filled with My Spirit and be empowered to reach out to others, so that they also might come to know My love! </em></p>
<p><em>This is My commission for you, that you go to all those you can come across and let them know that I love them! I have placed each one of you in a strategic place, where there are those that only you can reach and touch with My love. My commission is that you let them know that I love them, that My Father loved them so much that He was willing to sacrifice My life for them, so that they would not perish but have everlasting life! This is the truth! They will not perish for their sins, but have everlasting life! They already have it, and they don’t have to worry and carry the burden on their shoulders, but they can rest in My love and turn around to let others know about it! There are millions to reach and time is short! </em></p>
<p><em>Don’t waste time worrying about yourself, but reach out to others! Get busy reaching out to others and you won’t have time worrying about yourself, knowing that I take care of you! </em><em>As you seek first My Kingdom, all these other things will added to you! Trust Me, I love you.</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Everyone struggles with negative self-talk from time to time. There are times when we get discouraged about ourselves and we look in the &#8220;wrong&#8221; mirror, noticing all the faults and lacks that we think are impeding the fulfillment of our destiny in life! It&#8217;s at times like this that we need to take our eyes off ourselves and place them on the One <em>“</em><em>Who has called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ before the world began” (2 Tim. 1:9). </em></p>
<p>The Bible tells us that <em>“</em><em>as a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Prov. 23:7), </em>so we must be careful about what we think and learn to <em>“bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5). A </em>lot of our thoughts come from what we look to, and that’s why the Lord tells us to: “<em>Look to Me,</em><em> </em><em>and be saved, ye ends of the earth” (Isa. 45:22).</em></p>
<p>If we want to walk in faith and claim our destiny, we must take our eyes off ourselves and <em>“lift them up to the hills, from where comes our help. Our help comes from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer our foot to be moved” (Psa. 121:1-3) </em>and He will help us to fulfill <em>“the purpose for which we are called” (Rom.8:28).</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Listen to what He recently said in the following &#8220;<strong>W</strong>ords <strong>F</strong>rom <strong>J</strong>esus&#8221;</span>:</p>
<p>(<strong>WFJ</strong>): Lift up your eyes and look at Me! <em>“Lift up your eyes on high” (Isa. 40:26)</em> and don&#8217;t even look at the <em>“boisterous wind” (Matt. 14:30)</em> of your present circumstances! Look at Me, not yourself! <em>“Your adversary” (1Pet. 5:8)</em> wants to get you discouraged with your lacks and shortcomings, but I want to encourage you to not look at yourself, but to <em>&#8220;look unto Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith&#8221; (Heb 12.2), </em>and <em>“walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7)!</em></p>
<p><em> </em>Look with eyes of faith, which is <em>“the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1)</em>, things more real and tangible than visible ones, “<em>for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal&#8221; (2 Cor. 4:18).</em></p>
<p>Often, what you see are just <em>“lying vanities” (Jonas 2:8),</em> that are put before you to weaken your faith, and<em> &#8220;you don&#8217;t know what to do&#8221;! </em>But, <em>&#8220;if your eyes are upon Me&#8221; </em><em>(2 Chr. 20:12),</em> you will get My <em>“words of truth” (Acts 26:25)</em> that will encourage your faith and lift you up!</p>
<p><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/jesus-hug.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9697" title="jesus hug" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/jesus-hug-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="146" /></a>I’m not like the <em>“accuser of the brethren” (Rev.12:10)</em>, the “<em>father of lies” (John 8:44) </em>who tries to bring you under his yoke of misery and gloom with words of discouragement that will cast you down! But I AM like <em>“the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth” (John 15:26)</em> who will lift you up with My words of life and encouragement, <em>“edification, exhortation, and comfort” (1 Cor. 14:3) &#8230; </em>My comfort to you!</p>
<p>Remember that, when you get discouraged, for it will help you to discern “who” it is that is speaking to you! It’s <em>“by the fruits” (Matt. 7:20) </em>that it bears in your life that you are able to recognize it! If it lifts you up and it encourages you to <em>“reach forth to the things which are before and press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God” (Phil.3:13,14) </em>in your life, then you know that it’s My Spirit speaking to you! Otherwise, don’t listen to it!</p>
<p>Like the men of God in the Bible, who were <em>“subject to like passions as we are” (Jam. 5:17),</em> yet they <em>“stopped the mouths of lions</em>”<em> (Heb. 11:33), </em>you need to learn to shut the mouth of the <em>“roaring lion, who walks about and seeks whom he may devour” (1 Pet.5:8)! </em>Don’t listen to his negative talk, but listen to the voice of My Spirit, whispering in your heart and saying : <em>“Fear not, for I am with you! Be not discouraged, for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you and uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness” (Isa. 41:10). </em></p>
<p>Remember that “<em>the thoughts that I think toward you, are thoughts of peace, not of evil, to give you hope and a future” (Jer. 29:11), </em>so take hold of the promises that I have spoken to you and walk with confidence towards the fulfillment of your destiny! I have promised that <em>“greater works than these will you do” (John 14:22),</em> and I reaffirm it again, for it will not be you doing it, but <em>“it is God which works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13). </em><em>“Look up, and lift up your head; for your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28). </em><br />

<p>(Prayer): Thank you, Father, for the time You spent with me this morning! Thank you that, as soon as I wake up, I find You watching over me, speaking to my heart and communing with me in Your Spirit! It&#8217;s wonderful for me to pour my heart out to You in the morning, for I know that You listen, and that all I ask You, You will supply it, for You have promised it and cannot deny yourself! Thank You Father, thank You Jesus, thank You Holy Spirit! I love You with all my heart, mind and soul! I love You and I desire to do Your will, so please speak to me and give me all the words of eternal life that I need. In Jesus’ Name, I ask. Amen.</p>
<p><em><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/jesus_hugging.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9614" title="jesus_hugging" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/jesus_hugging-245x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="244" /></a>(WFJ) My child, <strong>Healing Broken Hearts</strong> is My passion, and I have poured some of that passion in you! I say &#8220;some” of it, because you would not be able to bear the amount of empathy that I share with all My children that cry out to Me day and night from all over the world! </em></p>
<p><em>They are crying out with all kinds of questions that I long to answer, but I cannot answer them except through you, My children who are willing to be My body, My face, My tongue, My lips, My arms and My legs! You are the only real “body” that I have on earth to heal the broken hearts! </em><em>Are you willing to be My &#8220;body&#8221; to heal the broken hearts?</em></p>
<p><em>Yes, it is true that you cannot heal the broken hearts on your own, as that’s really a work of My Spirit within them, but you can be a manifestation of My love to them, so that they know that I truly love them! </em><em>If you can be that, a manifestation of My unconditional love to others, then I can mightily use you, and I can bring to your side all the laborers you need to fulfill this calling! Yes, it’s a calling! I’m calling you to be My face to the world that suffers! </em></p>
<p><em>I’m calling you to be My lips and to pour My words of eternal life into their hearts, for “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and life” (John 6:63), and they bring healing and life to the hungry and broken hearts!</em></p>
<p><em>Just let go, and let Me do it through you! All you have to do, to fulfill your calling in life, is to come unto Me each and every day to listen to the words that I speak to you, for they are given not only to you, but they are given so that you can share them with the world! </em></p>
<p><em>It’s time that you realize that you have come to the Kingdom for such time as this, and you cannot do it on your own! You need a team, you need others, and you especially need Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. I have started a good work in you and I will complete it to the end, so that it will be fully equipped to heal the broken hearts and set the captive free! I love you!</em><br />

<p>(<strong>Prayer</strong>): I love you Jesus, I love you Father, I love you Holy Spirit. You are one and the same, and yet You live in my heart. Wow! The God of the universe, who created all things, <em>&#8220;in heaven, on earth, and under the earth&#8221; (Rev. 5:13),</em> is living right here in my heart! I’m made to love You and adore You and to live in Your pleasure, and that’s what I intend to do: to live in Your presence each day of my life.</p>
<p>Jesus, You are the love of my heart, my first desire, the reason I&#8217;m living, and I want to share Your love with the world. Please, lead and guide me to be all that You want me to be, to do all that You want me to do, and to share Your love with those I come in contact with. Fill me with Your Spirit and help me hear Your sweet voice leading and guiding me. I need to hear Your whispers in my heart. I want to be in tune with the voice of Your Spirit.</p>
<p>Father, please give me favor with those who love You, so that together we can help build Your kingdom on earth! Not that we can build it on our own, but You can do it through us, <em>&#8220;for it is You working in us both to will and to do of Your good pleasure&#8221; (Phil. 2:13)! </em>I want to live for Your pleasure, I want to give You pleasure.</p>
<p>Holy Spirit, please lead and guide my prayers, for You know what I should pray for. You know my inner heart and what I need most of all. All I want is to please You and do Your will. Please, help me and guide me, in Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.</p>
<p><em>(<strong>WFJ</strong>): My child, I love you. I love you just as you are! I love you for what you are, and for what I have made you to be. If I wanted something else, I would have made you different, but I made you who you are, exactly for what you are doing and what I have placed in your heart. I have placed in you the desire to love Me and to do My will, the desire to reach out and touch others with My loving Spirit, which is &#8220;in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27).</em></p>
<p><em>You are doing what I have placed in your heart to do, and you are becoming what I have designed you to be, each and every step of the way. So, don’t worry about some of the mistakes you make, or even for the weaknesses of your flesh, because &#8221;I know your frame, I remember that you are dust&#8221; (Psalm </em><em>103:14) </em><em>and I do not hold it against you. </em></p>
<p><em>Be at peace, My child! &#8220;Let My peace rule in your heart&#8221; (Col. 3:15), so you can bring it to those who are troubled! &#8220;The peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your heart and mind&#8221; (Phil. 4:7) in </em><em>My love, and you will share it with those who are troubled by what’s happening in the world today, that which is stealing their peace from them.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/LA-TEMPESTA-SEDATA.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9566" title="LA TEMPESTA SEDATA" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/LA-TEMPESTA-SEDATA-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="282" height="210" /></a></em><em>The world is at war, but you can have peace in the midst of the storm, peace in the midst of the war around you, for &#8220;I am your shelter&#8221; (Psalm 61:3), where you can rest in peace, knowing that I never lose sight of you. I know exactly where you are and what you&#8217;re doing all the time! You &#8220;abide under the shadow of the Almighty God&#8221; (Psalm 91:1), who made heaven and earth, and you have nothing to fear, for &#8220;I AM with you always&#8221; (Matt. 28:20). </em></p>
<p><em>Nothing can separate you from My love, so rest in My peace and let Me &#8220;perfect that which concerns you&#8221; (Psalm 138:8). I have great plans for you that will soon be revealed to you, as you continue to come into My presence each day of your life, and continue to look to Me, &#8220;the Author and Finisher of your faith&#8221; (Heb. 12.2).</em></p>
<p><em>Trust Me! Enter into My rest and trust Me. In My Spirit of trust there is great peace, and that’s what the world needs most of all today: to see people trusting Me and manifesting My peace and confidence. That’s what’s going to help them who are troubled find peace in My presence. You have a great opportunity, during this war, to share My peace with the world around you, so &#8220;let your light shine that they might see the good works&#8221; (Matt. 5:16) of My Spirit in you, and glorify your Father which is Heaven.</em></p>
<p><em>Be at peace and trust Me! I know what I’m doing! I’m perfecting that which concerns you, and you are becoming what I want you to be, for the &#8220;good works that I have ordained for you&#8221; (Eph. 2:10) since the foundation of the world! I love you!</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>(<strong>Prayer</strong>): Jesus, I love you with all of my heart, and I’m sorry for not spending more time listening to Your voice. I know this is what I need most of all, to be led by Your Spirit each day of my life! Please, forgive me! I need You to guide me, as I seek Your face at each step of my way! Lord, I love You, I worship You and I desire to live in Your presence and Spirit, to partake of Your nature each day of my life! Please speak to me, I need to hear Your voice and get Your perspective on my situation, where I’m now standing and where You want me to go. In Your precious holy name, Jesus, I ask.</p>
<p><em>(<strong>WFJ</strong>): “Make room, My child! Make room around you! Make room in your day, your time, your life. Make room for My intimate time with you! Let Me be at the forefront of your focus and interests and let Me lead and guide you in the way that you need to go! If you want to make progress and have success in your endeavors, you need to put Me first in your life, and not let your work, your ministry, your ambitions and all the other things you want to do, even if it’s for My Kingdom, stand in the way of My daily time with you! </em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Make-room.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9491" title="Make room" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Make-room-298x300.png" alt="" width="215" height="216" /></a>You must understand that it’s not “your” time with Me, but it’s “My” time with you, and that’s what&#8217;s important! In other words, you might think you are spending time with Me, because you are reading Christian literature, or listening to Spirit-filled music, or whatever else you do to spend time in My presence, but in reality it’s only when you really focus and pay attention to the things that I speak to your heart, personally and intimately, that you&#8217;re really experiencing My presence and glory in a powerful way in your life! </em></p>
<p><em>It needs to be Me speaking to your heart, not the other way around. It can even become a work of the flesh, “trying” to spend time with Me and “doing” all the things that you usually do during that time, like a ritual. What I really want from you is your attention and listening ear! </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>“He that has ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15)! “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying (Rev. 2:11, etc.)! This is something that I have repeated over and over in My word, constantly calling people to “Incline your ear, and come to Me: hear, and your soul shall live” (Is. 55:3), because that’s what I really want from My children above all, to be people who listen to My voice and &#8220;are led by My Spirit&#8221; (Rom. 8:14) every day!</em></p>
<p><em>When all of My children around the world will have learned to listen to My Spirit and follow My instructions, then “My Kingdom will come, and My will shall be done, on earth as it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6:10), and you will see Me rule and reign forever in a “new heaven and a new earth” (Rev.21.1), because all things will be restored to the original plan that I had made for My children at the beginning of time! </em></p>
<p><em>This is what I want My children to learn above all, to hear from Me and follow Me each day of their lives! And I need you to teach it by example, by posting the “<a title="Words From Jesus " href="http://renatoamato.com/en/journaling/words-from-jesus/" target="_blank"><strong>Words From Jesus</strong>”</a> that I speak to you, so that those who read your posts will have a model to follow and learn to put Me first in their lives! You cannot send others where you are not going. To be a good leader, you must fist be a good follower, by walking with them to where I want them to go. So, be a good leader, by leading the way to where you want others to go! </em></p>
<p><em>It needs to be a daily experience of My presence in your life! Not trying to spend time with Me, but sitting quietly in My presence and letting Me spend time with you intimately, as I personally speak to your heart the “words of eternal life” (John 6:68) that will fill you with both My “spirit and life”  (John 6:63)! I love you.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>For those who carry heavy burdens and weights of guilt because of past mistakes made &#8230; put them down and walk away from them! Your past is past, and it&#8217;s a new day!</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Cast your burden on the Lord, and let Him sustain you&#8221; (Psalm 55:22)! &#8220;Lay aside every weight and sin which does so easily beset you, and run with patience the race that is set before you, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith&#8221; (Hebrew 12:1,2). </em></p>
<p>You wonder how to do that? With a simple heartfelt prayer, like the following one:</p>
<p>(<strong>Prayer</strong>): Lord, I confess that I have hurt people, because of my lack of love and attention to their needs, my self-centered nature that lacks real love and compassion for others! I need Your mercy! I need You to forgive me and make me new, to wipe away my tears, pain and sorrows, as I desperately call upon You,<em> &#8220;the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last&#8221; (Rev. 22:13),</em> the Author and the Finisher of my faith.</p>
<p>Jesus,<em> </em> it&#8217;s through You that I &#8220;<em>come boldly to the throne of grace, that I may obtain mercy in this time of need&#8221; (Hebrew 4:16)</em>, because You are <em>&#8220;the door&#8221;, </em>through which to <em>&#8220;enter in and be saved&#8221; (John 10:9), </em>&#8220;<em>the Lamb of God, which takes away my sins&#8221; (John: 1:29)!</em></p>
<p>I declare that I’m saved, because of Your sacrifice and the shedding of Your blood for me! My sins have been forgiven and I can come with confidence to You, knowing that<em> &#8220;You will not cast me out&#8221; (John 6:37).</em> Thank you Jesus! Thank you Father! Thank you Holy Spirit! I worship You and praise You and give You honor and glory, for You are worthy to be praised and crowned <em>&#8220;King of kings, and Lord of lords&#8221; (1 Timothy 6:15)</em>. Please speak to me now, and show me the way to walk, in Your precious Name, Jesus, I pray.</p>
<p><em>(<strong>Jesus</strong>): “Come, My child, the door is open! Come into My presence and don’t be afraid, I’m waiting for you! You should never hesitate to come to Me whenever you need or want! Just drop whatever else you are doing and come into My presence, for the door is always open and you will always find Me ready to talk with you! I desire to talk with you! Ever since I created the world, I&#8217;ve always wanted to have intimate fellowship with each of My children, so that I can lead and guide them through life and to the fulfillment of their destiny! </em></p>
<p><em>That’s what I originally intended life to be, &#8220;on earth, as it is in Heaven&#8221; (Matt. 6:10), a place where I communicate with each of My creations and direct their eternal destiny to fulfill the purpose for which they were created. I &#8220;made the world and all things therein&#8221; (Acts 17:24), it all belongs to Me! At the beginning of time, men were deceived to think that they could manage life on their own, without needing Me, so they disobeyed and they hid themselves from Me! Man has been doing that ever since, always trying to hide himself from Me! How foolish that is! None of My children can ever hide from Me, for I see them all the time, no matter where they are and what they are doing! </em></p>
<p><em>The same is with you, My child. I know you since eternity, from before you were born! Your own mother and father were chosen by Me to bring you out into this world for a purpose! You were not an accident, but everything in your life was carefully engineered to make you what you are today: My beloved child, in whom I am pleased! I know that you don’t feel like that at the moment, because you are looking at your past mistakes, but the past is past! It was cancelled by My blood and it’s gone! You are forgiven for your mistakes, and are now a new creature. All things are new and you should not look back, but ahead at the things that I have prepared for you, for I know that you love Me and desire to do My will!</em></p>
<p><em>Yes, in the past you made mistakes, and the greatest one was that of not remaining true to yourself and the convictions that I placed in your heart, but trying to please those that you thought represented Me. You did it for the right motive, trying to please Me, but I want you to now learn to be true to yourself, not pretending to be something that you are not, but simply being “who” you are and “what” I have made you to be!</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/New-beginning2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9377" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://renatoamato.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/New-beginning2-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="170" /></a></em><em>You now have a new opportunity to do good, a new chance to start all over again, in a new day, with a new identity and a new purpose! Don’t look back at the past, but look ahead at what I have in store for you! &#8220;I make all things new&#8221; and I&#8217;m about to do a new thing for you! &#8220;Old things are passed away; and all things have become new&#8221; (2 Cor. 5:17)! </em></p>
<p><em>Stand firm in the mercy that you have received from Me, and don’t let yourself be put under the burden and weights of the past, for the past is past! Your sins have been forgiven and washed clean by My blood! Now, simply walk into your future to fulfill your destiny!</em></p>
<p><em>Let go of what would keep you back from moving forward, but &#8220;stand fast in the liberty with which I have made you free&#8221; (Gal. 5:1)! &#8220;If the Son has made you free, you are free indeed&#8221; (John 8:36)! You can walk in newness of life, not looking back, like &#8220;Lot&#8217;s wife&#8221; (Luke 17:32), but moving forward! That’s what I want you to do, to &#8220;hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown&#8221; (Rev. 3:11), for it&#8217;s yours, if you do what I show you to do! Don&#8217;t put yourself under a yoke that is not yours, but walk in the freedom which I have set you free! You are free! You are free indeed! I love you, and &#8220;I will never leave you nor forsake you&#8221; (Hebr. 13.5)! I will not let go of you, no matter what others might do or say to you! Trust Me and believe My promises!</em><br />

<p>(<strong>Morning Praise</strong>):<br />
<em> “I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses,<br />
and the voice I hear, falling on my ears, the Son of God discloses …<br />
And You walk with me, and You talk with me …”</em> </p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hjHHMT6ppwk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>(<strong>Words To Jesus</strong>):<br />
&#8220;Dear Lord, You have shown me how much You love me and care for me, no matter how far I go from You at times. Forgive me, when I forget to come to You first in the morning &#8230; Please, cleanse my heart and pour upon me the oil of Your anointing, so that I am made an instrument of Your love, wherever I go and whatever I do! I want to be a tool in Your hands, to touch and heal, to pray for people and see them restored, but You brought me to a lonely place, one where the most important thing is not “doing”, but “being”.</p>
<p>What is it that You want me to be? … a yielded vessel in Your hands! You want me to walk humbly in Your presence, to give You my heart and to express my love for You! I know that You want to bestow Your blessings upon me, but the greatest one for me is that You let me always hear Your voice, every day of my life, so that I can hear You speaking to my heart and showing me the way to walk in this world!</p>
<p>I know that I was created for a purpose and You have a plan for me. Help me to fulfill it, in Your precious name I pray. Please, speak to me now and help me hear Your voice, amen.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>(<strong>Words From Jesus</strong>): Will you chat with Me? It’s so beautiful when we can do that! </em></p>
<p>(Me): Yes! Good morning Jesus, it&#8217;s nice to find You there!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): Good morning son, you are finally giving Me your attention! You know what? You don’t need so many words to hear My voice … all you need is to give Me your attention! </em></p>
<p>(Me): I’m sorry, Lord, I know that I should be more faithful with this, please forgive me!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): I have! You have been forgiven thousands of years ago, when I died for you! </em></p>
<p>(Me): Thank you Jesus! I will always be grateful for that! I’m sorry for disappointing You!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): You don’t need to be discouraged, you just need to change your ways and habits! When you realize that you are going the wrong direction, all you need to do is to turn around and walk the right direction! That’s what repentance is, a change of direction!</em></p>
<p>(Me): Lord, help me to change my ways, to be more faithful with my daily chats with You!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): It’s just a matter of desiring it! If you were in love with someone, you would want to speak to them and hear from them every day! Do you love Me?</em></p>
<p>(Me): With all of my heart, mind and soul!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): Then don’t hesitate to talk with Me and listen to Me every day! I’m always online, waiting for you!</em></p>
<p>(Me): Thank You Jesus! It’s encouraging to know that You are not upset with me, that You have forgiven me!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): I love you, son! I have proven it to you by dying for you thousands of years ago, what do you need more than that? What other evidence do you need to know that I love you? “Greater love has no man than this, than to give His life for His friends” (John 15:13).</em></p>
<p>(Me): Thank you Jesus, I know that You gave your life for me, and I will always be grateful for that! What I now need is Your guidance in my everyday life! Life is not easy to live, there are many challenges every day, and I need You to walk with me and to show me the way!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): Count on it, son! You have the guidance of My Spirit who “dwells with you always” (John 14:16), and “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrew 13:5), “even until the end of the world” (Matt. 28:20)! I have promised it and “I cannot deny myself” (2 Tim. 2:13)!</em></p>
<p>(Me): Thank You Lord! Will You be with me today, as I have to deal with so many issues?</p>
<p><em>(Jesus) Yes, I will! You can always count on Me to be there by your side and, when you don’t know what to do, you just need to “acknowledge Me in all your ways, and I will direct your path” (Prov. 3:6) and show you what to do! I have promised it and you can count on it!</em></p>
<p>(Me): Thank you Lord, that really helps! Knowing that You are always by my side gives me a sense of belonging and helps me know that I’m not alone in this world!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): No, you are not! In fact, there are many others like you that you can connect with, every day, and you will soon have a large family of people, all around the world, that will be praying for you and they will be your brothers and sisters that will uphold you in their daily prayers! Just reach out to them with My love and start sharing your life with them, and you will soon see a large family of people all around the world! They will be My love for you!</em></p>
<p>(Me): Thank You Lord! That’s a wonderful idea, and I will try that!</p>
<p><em>(Jesus): Go in peace! “If you know these things, you&#8217;re happy if you do them” (John 13:17)!</em><br />
