Mistakes

As long as you learn from your mistakes, nothing is lost. Even your mistakes made are then one of all things which work
together for good for them that love Me. As long as you come to Me, and I can teach you about the things you did wrong
or could do better, theres no need for remorse, which never helped much, anyway. But you can turn right around,
determine to keep an eye on that weakness, ask Me to help you be on guard and deliver you from evil, strengthen the
feeble knees and the hands that hang down, and go to work on building new, healthier habits. And thats what you call
progress and learning. (I:15)
If you walk through life with the firm knowledge that one day you wont be making anymore mistakes, you may quit
making them earlier. (I:30)
Mistakes are an essential part of the meaning of life.
Its just the inborn sinful human nature not to want to obey me at first.
The devil comes up with his contra immediately and pipes up, ....Sssssso, did God reaaally ssssay ssso...? And you
know whatll happen next. Youll make a mistake. Call it a sin you miss the mark. I have to punish you, you learn the
lesson, and thats the cycle of things at the present state of creation under the curse.
It will not always be so. This is only practice with weights, so that soon youll be able to fly. (I:47)
You haven't really learned all there is to learn out of these lessons yet, and some of the mistakes you made you're not
even aware of. (Prophex I:70)
Do your best to learn from your mistakes and not to repeat them! (I:71)
It took that road of humbling, the road of making mistakes, the road of failure, to come to the realization of My
unconditional love for you. (I:78)
Wanna quit making mistakes? Remember Me! Wanna stop blowing it? Remember Me! Wanna make continuous uphill
progress without the 2-steps forward, one-step-back grind? Simply remember Me and give Me the glory by
acknowledging Me, thanking and praising Me and asking Me to keep you from falling, even when you think youre safe.
(I:90)

You have need of patience. Patience with others, even patience with yourself. Patience with your and their mistakes and
faults... (I:102)
If you ask Me to show you your weak areas and how you can improve them, you'll fare so much better. And you'll have
much to share from the revelation and overcoming of your own mistakes, flaws, faults and shortcomings. (I:111)
One thing thats going to help you overlook others faults is remembering your own and what a hopeless mess you are
yourself. (I:154)
Its a mistake to judge God by the people who supposedly represent Him, and their interpretation of what He supposedly
said. (I:160)
I love you with all your mistakes, just the way you are. (I:171)
Making mistakes is part of the School of Life, but the desired goal and progress is to learn to be making less of them as
you go. (I:197)
If you dont want to keep making the same mistakes over and over and over again, some things are going to have to
change. Some things youre simply going to have to get serious about and desperate. (I:199)
In a way, your love for Me is a result of your mistakes and screw-ups, cause, lets face it: If you had been more
successful, do you honestly think you would have been that eager and desperate to find Me? (I:238)
All too easily you slip right back into the confidence of the flesh, and thats when you start making mistakes. (I:285)
You cannot turn back time, and everyone has made mistakes, but youre not meant to make the same mistakes over and
over. Some mistakes you dont even realize until much later, some only when you get here. (Prophex II:13)
You have learned precious lessons out of these deep dark experiences that can benefit them all. These things have
happened to you as an ensample to them, that they might learn from your mistakes and marvel at My breakings, at My
mercy, at My chastisements and wisdom. This is a lesson for Eternity; the lesson of the breakings from this world. (Prophex
II:36)

A wiser man will learn from the mistakes of others, providing those others will share their mistakes as lessons. (Prophex

II:44)

When it all comes down to it, youre still just a child, and children do embarrassing things, sometimes. But its better to
make blunders of the mind than be so afraid of making mistakes that you never dare to do anything. (Prophex II:57)
Dont repeat the mistake of letting others drag you down a road youre not meant to go or you wont want to go, neither
look at others for excuses to let down your standard. (Prophex III:22)
Nobodys expecting you to do a completely perfect job without any mistakes. (Prophex 6:129)
Everyone will see the wrongs they have committed, sooner or later. Not everyone is eager or ready to see how they are
failing in this life-time.
Sometimes I have to let them go ahead and do something, even if it entails mistakes and wrongs, just in order for
something to get done... (Prophex 6:133)
If you're only focusing on the flesh and the blunders and mistakes My people make, you're doomed to disappointment
and failure. If the people around you have become a disappointment and you're blaming Me for it, the reason I'm allowing
this is so that you will put your faith in Me, not in them, put your eyes on Me, not them. Only I can help you make it
through the night! You're supposed to be My follower, not theirs. Or if you want to be their follower, follow them in the
spirit and look at them with the eyes of the spirit, not the eyes of the flesh! Look at them as those who are fragile just like
you, who make mistakes just like you, who doubt and waver just like you, but they just won't give up, even if they're
tempted to. Look at them as those who've got nothing in this World and nowhere to turn but to Me. As long as you keep
toying with other options, of course you will be double-minded. (Prophex 7:106)
You've got to learn to love folks even with their mistakes, just like they love you with yours. "Love the sinner and hate the
sin" doesn't really mean, like you apply it: "Sure, I'll love the sinner. As soon as he gets rid of the sin!" Imagine if that
were My attitude! No, loving the sinner means loving them in spite of their sin and patiently helping them to overcome
their sin and having the faith that will eventually manage to do so by My grace!
Overcoming mistakes, faults and weaknesses and sins is one of the major objectives in life. Your weaknesses and sins
are an important part of this school of life. If I would have sent you all perfect to this Earth, what would there be to learn?
What would there be to save? What purpose would there have been for Me to come and live and die for? (I:469)
It's easy to find fault! It's easy to see the mistakes in others and where they screwed up and how difficult they're making
your life, and "if you look for the bad in people, you're going to find it!" But I say, look at the good! Count your blessings!
Life could be much worse than this! But don't even focus on how much worse things are going to get or could be, but
focus on how good you've had it, and most of all, on how good it's still going to be! (I:474)
An unforgiving and self-righteous attitude in itself becomes worse than the mistake that was committed by the other
party. (Prophex IV04:18)
Everyone makes mistakes, including you, and forgiveness and being forgiven are simply integral parts of the school of
life. So, don't view mistakes you or others make as some kind of permanent, irreparable damage, but remember that even
those serve My purpose and work together for good in the long run. (Prophex IV04:19)
Paying attention to the details will help you not to overlook important factors, it will teach you patience and the
importance of little things. It will help you to not so easily misjudge or misunderstand things, not to make snap
judgments. If you realize how much hinges and depends on little things, you will learn to hold your peace on a matter
until you're certain you've got all the details straight and you're not missing out on any of the factors in the equation, and
you'll see, you'll be a lot less prone to making mistakes in your life. (I:494)
If whatever your brother does causes you to stumble or give up, that brother may be held responsible for his mistakes,
but you will be held responsible for your own decision to focus on his faults instead of Me, and whatever your looking at
the waves will result in. If you want victory, you've got to keep looking at Me. Everything else will only spell defeat... (II:10)
It's good to come out straight-forward when you see a mistake: "Oh, I don't think that was right. I don't agree." This is
much better than keeping it in and letting it all out later in a barrage of bitter questions, remarks, statements and
accusations. (Prophex I05:25)
It's time to quit repeating the same mistakes over and over again, of just doing what comes naturally, the obvious, without
even bothering to ask Me about it and consult with Me. (II:39)
You've got to keep pouring and pouring out that healing balm of love and forgiveness, letting them know that no matter
how many mistakes they'll make, many waters cannot quench this fire of My love for them. (Prophex I05:109)
Judging people by their past mistakes, mentally putting people in a box consisting of the walls of the confines of your
own mind which you create for them out of your negative memories and experiences with them is not appropriate

anymore in this day and age when I'm changing lives radically and sometimes rapidly.
The carnal mind is quick to put both Me, and the way it thinks I should operate, and others into a box, and that's not a
very smart thing to do in My business. Sometimes knowledge is the greatest stumbling block to divine revelation,
because it interferes with what I would like to reveal to you. (II:90)
If you think the time has arrived when there's nothing for you to learn anymore, no more mistakes to improve or correct,
then you're just about to make the biggest mistake of all! (II:108)
Just because some things have gone wrong in the past and mistakes were made and you failed at an earlier attempt, that
doesn't mean it will always go that way. Don't be so discouraged by the times you stumbled and failed! It's okay! Just get
up and try again! (PXP II05:29)
I allow people to learn from their mistakes in the Spirit Realm by having them accompany their descendants as spirit
helpers, to see what the late ricochets and repercussions of their actions are over time. (II:145)
I'm allowing you to have so many mistakes, faults and sins so that you realize just how much you need My Salvation!
(PXPII05:38)

Nobody's perfect, and thus, no matter how anointed they may be, they don't deserve to be worshipped without any
reservations, completely ignoring or hushing up their mistakes! In fact, you only help them by pointing out their mistakes
to them, and you prevent worse mistakes from happening. (PXPII05:59)
It's always tough to find out where it ain't at, that's the hard and painful way of finding direction, but it's also very
effective. At least it helps you to never want to make the same mistake! (PXPII05:81)
There's no use worrying about Me making mistakes.
Isn't one of the greatest supposed "evidences" of the fact that God indeed makes mistakes a handicapped child? "How
could God allow this if He were perfect?"
Well, you had a glimpse of how I see things. That that little child - although he may never grow up to be as "smart" and
"able" as you are in this life, yet all the while is closer to Heaven than you are, is purer in My sight, and even to such an
extent that you had to feel ashamed at the comparison. (II:166)
It takes a little while and investment of time to make sure you're making the right decisions, choosing the proper option(s)
and thus avoid making what could turn out to be a critical mistake. (II:180)
Your mistakes are one of the reasons why you're there. They're part of your learning program. And you're not the only
one!
Ask Moses how he felt after slaying the Egyptian, or David after having slain Uriah, Abraham how he felt after having lied
to the king of Egypt about Sarah... Jacob's sons after having sold Joseph into slavery, Zechariah, how he felt after
doubting Gabriel... oh, and of course, Adam and Eve...! (II:190)
You ask yourself, "What could I have done or avoided doing in order to not wind up here? What did I do wrong? What was
the mistake I made?" And I can show you. But if you're not open to learn from your mistakes, you won't make the
necessary progress.
Everybody makes mistakes. The question is, how much do you learn from them? Instead of being ashamed of them and
try not to think about them, you should do the opposite: you should think about them and view them as opportunities to
learn precious lessons from them, for some of the most precious lessons you learn are those which you learn from your
own mistakes.
Of course, that takes humility. It's tough on one's pride to take the blame and face the consequences of their own actions,
and to deal with what it is you have done wrong in order to bring certain conditions about. It's always easier to blame the
other party for it. But that's not the way you learn. (PXPIII05:22/II:212)
Do you trust Me, that I love you so much that everything that happens to you is the best possible option? If you've been
praying and committing your day into My hands, how am I going to disappoint you by doing anything less than the best? I
will even allow the enemy to only attack and test you in those ways that I know will bring forth the best possible results,
and even the mistakes you will make will be those that will teach you the most effective and important lessons, so that
truly all things will work out for not only good, but for the best for you! (II:213)
If you must compare yourself to those who have made even graver mistakes, then try to learn from them, not to make the
same mistakes, and never use them as an excuse that just because you're doing better than they, you're doing alright. If
you truly want to give your best to Me that you can, then you cannot settle for "doing alright." (II:235)
So many mistakes are made because people don't remember. Why do people not remember? Because they don't really
make an effort, they don't really care. They're too busy occupying their minds with the next pleasure, the next
entertainment, the next amusement, the next "escape route" that leads them "away from thinking." (II:236)

Although I do try to teach you lessons or deal with you for your wrongs, it does not influence My amount of love for you if
you make mistakes or fail. (II:243)
It's human to make mistakes! They keep you humble. The proud and haughty who do nothing but criticize have their
reward in feeling so high and mighty and superior in this life, that they can look down on everybody else. (II:255)
I will use anything to save a soul, including the devil himself, if need be. It's the results that count. I'd rather use a lesser
evil, like a mistake, a human error and unintentional untruth in order to achieve a greater good, instead of being so selfrighteously stuck on all the details, painstakingly making sure that I've got every little fact and figure straight that I don't
accomplish or achieve anything! (II:256)
If you have failed, use your failures and mistakes to their full extent to do and accomplish what they were ordained for,
namely to learn from them. Make the most out of them by praising Me for them! (PXIII05:82)
I make the best out of down-slope experiences, those lessons learnt from mistakes. (PXPIV05:2)
Love means to be willing to help someone out of a mess they've gotten themselves into, even if it was caused by their
own mistake. Love doesn't say, "It's your own fault!" Love quietly acknowledges, "We all make mistakes" and reaches out
a hand to help the other up in whatever way you can. (II:304)
Dealing with your sins and mistakes is important; you cannot just ignore them. Some who have refused to deal with them
aren't around anymore, they didn't make it. It takes that honest confrontation with them. (II:305)
I don't view your "mistakes" as anything nearly as bad as you tend to see them yourselves! Many "mistakes" you made in
your life were necessary pathways to a whole new dimension, a world of insight and wisdom that you never even would
have found the door to, otherwise. And even if you had found the door, you would not have chosen to walk through it
voluntarily because it would have looked so uninviting. (II:307)
Whatever you do, you've got to make sure you're doing it for My glory by bathing it in prayer. If you don't, then it easily
happens that you slip into the mode of operating in the flesh, and you'll reap the repercussions of that: You make
mistakes.
Yes, there are mistakes, there is sin to deal with. But without Me, you won't be able to deal with these things properly and
in the right spirit, and will only tend to make matters worse, to commit an even greater sin.
If you know that I believe in you in spite of all your flaws, and you know that I believe in them also, in spite of theirs, then
you can believe in Me for them, and thus believe in them, too.
If it's just you, without Me, if there's no connection with Me, then you might not really be trustworthy, simply because the
enemy can short-circuit you and cause you to make some serious mistakes and thus become less reliable. But as long as
someone is making sincere efforts to come close to Me, not for any glorious elevation of self's sake, but really only for
the love of Me, the love of truth, and the love of love itself, it's okay, you can trust such a person, including yourself.
That's why I can forgive you for all your mistakes and sins: I can see you're going to make it in spite of them.
Men of force are men of faults, and anyone who will be used by Me to a greater extent than others will be subject to
greater attacks of the enemy, greater temptations, and they're probably more prone to making mistakes.
You're subject to flaws and mistakes just like everybody else and you should thus stay open for suggestions and
improvement.
Some mistakes you make can haunt you for a long time, and follow you around for quite a while.
One mistake to make would be to think that you have arrived where you should be, because you're merely getting started.
Sometimes, when things are looking okay, the Devil sends his demons of compromise and settling for less than the best,
that are specially in charge of Christians, and make you think you're already at your destination, when you barely even
got going.
Satan makes you think you're a "prisoner," a captive of the mistakes and flaws of others, that you're going to have to deal
with and be subjected to them for the rest of your life. But I'm saying, "not really!" Because by simply making the choice
that you're not going to let it affect you or bother or aggravate you, but instead choosing to look at and praise Me for their
positive qualities, you deny those negative qualities to have power over you whatsoever, and it's almost as if they
wouldn't exist!
Everybody makes mistakes, and without them, there'd be hardly anything to learn from in this life! By showing you which
is the wrong way, by letting you experience it first hand, I'm also showing you the right way, which way you need to go to

overcome, to rise above, to succeed: you just need to turn around, and instead of following all those other misleading
voices, you just come to Me and follow Mine!
The big mistake the majority is making is that they're not coming to Me when something's going wrong, they try to figure
it out and fix it themselves.
That's one of the biggest mistakes successful people make: they strive so hard for the "big" things, and constantly
"bigger" things, greater things, that they nearly totally neglect the little things that already surround them, that I've
already given them, and that would bring them much greater happiness (if they would just care to pay attention to them)
than all their chasing after ever greater things. "Seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not" (Jer. 45:5).
I'm using your sins, your faults, your weakness, your mistakes, to bring about the best in you. As I use all things to work
out together for good for you, I also use these dark abysses of your souls in order to bring about some good in you and
each other. In some ways, I use you to discipline each other.
You're learning how to behave correctly in order to avoid certain reactions in the other.
Only I see the whole "elephant." The biggest mistake you can possibly make is assuming that your view and Mine are
always identical. That's the epitome of self-righteousness.
That was your mistake: You sort of let things run and have their "natural" course, and the natural course of things didn't
turn out to bring any improvement at all, but rather decay and a deterioration of the situation, of the condition of things or
even your children.
You can't just let the enemy have the world and passively stand by as he wrecks it. You've got to do something about it!
You've got to counteract, you've got to oppose him.
I use your mistakes, and even those errors in your own doctrines of the past... You learn by trial and error. I have given no
one a perfect blue print of the truth, but leave it up to everyone to discover it with My help throughout their lives.
If you wouldn't make any mistakes, there wouldn't be half as much for Me to talk to you about. Your sins, shortcomings
and failures draw you closer to Me. You want to learn how to do better, and that's basically what healing, learning,
growing and salvation is all about: that void, that need to grow, that emptiness. You have a need for Me when you're not
perfect, when you realize you failed, when you need help to see, when you realize you really don't know much of
anything.
Will you make the same mistake so many others have made and become harsh and unforgiving? Forgiveness is a much
greater issue than most people realize.
With some saints, like Mother Teresa, it's easy to say, "Now here's a good person," because of their sacrificial life-style,
and the evident good she did in helping the poor. But when it comes to helping the spiritually poor and feeding the
spiritually starving, things become a lot more difficult.
And because it's more difficult, it's also easier to make mistakes. For one thing, the Enemy fights your feeding the
spiritually starving a lot more violently than your giving to the physically poor. He's much more concerned about the
intellects and minds of people. That's, after all, the realm he is trying to usurp and grasp away from Me.
Moses died in the wilderness, unable to enter the promised land, as a result of his own mistake. The lesson gained out of
this is more important and valuable than the temporary, fleeting pleasure he might have experienced, had I granted him to
enter the promised land. The real Promised Land is not in this world. Your real and final and ultimate satisfaction,
fulfillment, peace or goal, whatever you may be trying to achieve, wont be found in this world or life.
The most effective way to teach you where its at, was to let you find out where its not at. You find this out by your
mistakes, but as the proverb goes, an even wiser man learns not only from his own mistakes, but from those of others,
too.
There was a time for Moses to be ready for the Exodus, but there was also a time when he wasn't ready yet. There's a time
of definite, visible anointing, and there's a time of preparation, of finding out where it's not at, how not to do it, which
mistakes not to make.
It's not the glorious road that leads to the Kingdom, but the low and humble road, often paved with many seemingly
mundane and very humbling acts: many dishes to wash, many problems to solve and learn from, even many mistakes to
make, many diapers to change, both physically and spiritually.
I know the human heart, and that it doesn't seek My interests in the natural. You don't have to put on any false pretenses
with Me. I know you inside out, and I totally know where you're at. I know what to do in order to get you to turn around
and learn from your mistakes.
You don't have to be bogged down with all of Earth's little problems. If you keep looking unto Me as you should, they will

practically dissolve, because you will have My supernatural wisdom that will help you to say and do the right things. You
won't be making so many mistakes anymore that are going to cause your loved ones to stumble. You will walk in love
more, as you absorb My love by looking unto Me.
The mistakes are part of the training. You find out which way it am by finding out which way it ain't. Not the recommended
route, but still the most common one. Without mistakes and errors, there's no need to repent, nothing to admit to, nothing
for which to humble yourself and admit you were wrong and need help, no need to change.
That's why those who suppose they do everything right are the ones who are most distant from Me. They simply don't
need Me as much as folks who screw up a lot.
The best thing you can learn out of your mistakes is: don't try to do it on your own, but always avail yourself of My help! If
you call on Me and rely on Me, you won't fail.
It's never wrong to be putting your bucket under the one Source that won't disappoint you. But not doing that is precisely
the mistake so many immature people make. They don't come to Me, they look elsewhere.
Your mistakes are part of the great purpose of everything.
Most people don't have a clue about the extent to which they screwed up until they get Here - totally oblivious to the
mistakes they made and the impact they had on others and the consequences they brought about.
You can't blame the devil for everything. Some things are simply the result of man's sinful nature, the results which he
has brought about by his own choices - which may have been initiated by the devil's temptations, that's true - but they
were still, nonetheless, his own choices.
And the circumstances outside the Garden of Eden teach you the consequences, and thus you learn from your mistakes.
How do you learn? By making mistakes and realizing you made them, right? So, the most dangerous threat to genuinely
learning is to be left in the illusion that you're right, there's nothing to change about your views and attitudes...
Your mistakes are an important part of the meaning and purpose of your lives, since they are what you learn the most
from. It is out of the "deep, dark experiences that we learn some of our most precious lessons from the Lord," and when
those experiences are missing, then life looks a little dull in comparison to those of others sometimes.
The more responsibility you carry, the more weight your mistakes have.
There's nothing that teaches you how to do it like the experience you gain from learning how not to do it. Only your
mistakes make you change your previous modes and habits.
The way to enlightenment always leads via the path of recognizing and learning from one's own mistakes. (III:201)
The only unpardonable mistake a believer can commit is to doubt his own Salvation and still stay stuck in his own
"badness," when I have saved him from that already.
Of course, it would be a mistake to assume that one is guiltless without having accepted My sacrifice and without having
experienced Salvation, but isn't it an equally grave mistake to do the opposite and assume that Salvation doesn't make
any difference, and that you still have to pay for your sins yourself?
The flaws, mistakes and imperfections in your co-fighters have been little more than a big test of your faith, to see
whether you would still keep going for Me, still keep holding on faithfully, in spite of them all.
An outstanding shepherd questions his own actions sometimes, he's not too proud or self-confident to do that. He
doesn't take for granted that just because of his position he might never be making a mistake. He stays aware of making
potential mistakes.
My hope is that this present age will be a sufficient reminder and warning for everyone not to want to repeat the same
mistakes.
You can only glean so much from watching others and learning from their experience. What will stick with you forever is
your own experiences, your own pains and hurts and scarring results and consequences of your own poor choices and
mistakes...
It's one thing learning from your mistakes. It's another getting so stuck on them that you never get any further, never
move out to touch another's life.
It takes more than being a follower in blind obedience, sometimes, to become a good leader yourself. The trick is to
remain loyal and obedient, even when you realize that your leaders arent infallible and do make mistakes, just like
everybody else does.
Leaders need to be forgiven and unconditionally loved and accepted for who and what they are, like everybody else. And

this attitude is healthier than one refusing to see the possibility that your leaders might make any mistakes.
It would certainly be a mistake to assume that you know better than Me.
Its better to have tried and failed, to have loved and lost, to have done something and made mistakes, than to just blindly
and self-righteously think you have arrived, without any need to do or change anything
Life is constructed in such a way that its bound to happen that you slip and fall and make mistakes, so that precious
lessons can be learned from them. But its pretty important that you do learn the lessons, and not just keep falling into
the same trap and repeating the same old mistakes over and over again.
People are bound to make mistakes, and mistakes have happened, and they keep happening, and youve got to grant
others the same right to make mistakes that I grant you.
Nobody ever does only good. Everybody makes mistakes, and nobodys perfect; nobody has ever lived a perfect life of
which they can say, I never made any mistakes. Its erroneous to have that kind of an attitude. And, well, some folks just
have the kind of attitude which is their besetting sin and handicap to carry around through life that they simply cant
see their own faults as easily as they see the faults of others.
A life that has failed learning from its own mistakes isnt much of a life at all, since your mistakes are one of the greatest
purposes in life per se.
Mistakes are something everyone can relate to, and if you teach others from mistakes you made, that shows them just
how human you are, and how much just like them, and that youre not some super special case, endowed with
extraordinary gifts from on high, but that youve learned by trial and error, basically the same way they have.
Mistakes are actually quite precious in the service of teaching you some of your most valuable lessons.
No matter what you do, what mistakes youre going to make or how badly you might ever slip, youre always going to be
loved by Me unconditionally.
There comes a time when everyone will have to reflect about their sins and mistakes.
Taking responsibility for your own mistakes is often the very ingredient that makes all the difference in the world. Refusal
or inability to see ones own mistakes and failings stifles spiritual growth like nothing else, and encourages straying from
the path, instead of sticking to My straight and narrow. In fact, what makes My straight and narrow pathway the most
uninviting to most people is the fact that its strewn with the recognition and repercussions of ones own failures left and
right, and uphill progress is only made by dealing with them properly. That means, you recognize them, admit them and
try to change them, but you dont allow them to put you under condemnation. Once youve given them to Me and theyre
confessed and forgiven, they dont have any more power over you.
It gives you new zest for each day of life, knowing fully that no matter how badly youve blown it in your life, or what sort
of mistakes youve made, youre totally forgiven as long as you you did learn something out of it by facing the problem
and your guilt and responsibility in the matter, which usually is already enough guarantee on its own that youre less
likely to repeat the same mistake.
I am the One Who doesnt and wont make mistakes, so it pays to make Me the one true foundation of your lives and to
put your entire trust in, instead of any man or woman, or group of people.
Thats what Id call learning and progress, when you get to the point of learning from mistakes where you stop making
them and can prevent them from happening through the things you have learned.
Once youve learned to deal with your mistakes and have learned how to handle that responsibility, treating it as
something as natural as going to the toilet, then youll also have an easier time coping with the rest of the things going on
in this world that are less than satisfactory. Youll see and recognize it all more as one big challenge to improve things
with My help wherever you can, to change the world, in that sense, or, if nothing else, at least learn a good deal from it
that is going to help make the world a better place in the long run. Changing the world starts with recognizing the void
and the need, the places that lack and where errors have been committed, and then taking the initiative to do what it takes
to replenish and refill them again, even if may look like a senseless waste of time to others, because you may not be
reaping immediate benefits from your work or sacrifice.
Adam and Eve's mistakes served to draw them closer to Me than they ever could have come otherwise.
Sometimes you just have to deal with your mistakes to their full extent, and learn all there is to learn from them. Its not
like there is no forgiveness, no reconciliation, but its also important that you bear the full consequences of your actions
and become aware of them.

You cannot just skip school and play hooky in the school of life. Thats what the Devil is tempting everyone to do with his
numerous distractions: No, dont think about your mistakes, dont waste your time wracking your head about them! It
just depresses you! Fill your life with pleasure instead!
There are a lot of mistakes made that people could learn from, a lot of lessons to be learned out of life, and out of history,
but thats not what theyre interested in or concerned about, Theyre not concerned about avoiding to make the same
mistakes over and over again, the thought would never even cross their mind. Thats the one reason why people never
learn anything from history; not their own, and much less anyone elses: theyre not interested.
There is a lot of wisdom to be gained from the mistakes you will make
Refusal to deal with ones own blame is probably the most widespread and most common spiritual disease The pride to
refuse to reckon with ones own mistakes, sins and faults The Pharisee syndrome
You dont have to keep repeating the same mistakes, nor the mistakes of your forefathers. You can interrupt that vicious
cycle, reverse fate, stop that treadmill of always falling for the apparent, or even the inclinations of your own mind.
You mustnt make the mistake of underestimating the power Ive given you to change things, to influence things, even if
by nothing else but your prayers.
I also use your sins and mistakes to keep you humble and teach you important lessons, and they work for Me in that way.
It takes a lot of continuous self-examination as you go, and one mistake or wrong attitude would be to think that youve
already got it all down pat without room for new revelations and changes in your mindsets.
Mistakes are a major part of the meaning of life: they teach you where its not at and thus help you to rediscover the
narrow frame of the rules you tried to escape out of previously.
You must learn not to turn toward the creation and manifestations for the fulfillment of your hopes and expectations from
life, but to the Creator, to the Source of everything. Otherwise youre making the same mistake everybody else does, and
its no wonder that neither you nor they ever find real happiness that way.
The rarer the truth becomes, the more precious and valuable it becomes, too.
They may not appreciate its value, but if they despise it, then thats their mistake, and their own foolishness will be their
judge and condemnation.
Dont make the mistake of forgetting about Me or your host of co-fighters at your aid. You can do it through Me and with
Us. Together were strong.
The majority of folks give all the credit to creation itself, instead of Me. They have become just as they have always
been since the beginning worshipers of the creation rather than the Creator.
Are you going to make the same mistake, or do you have the guts to constitute an exception and make a difference by
defying their mindset of unbelief?
Im not responsible for peoples mistakes.
Their mistakes reflect on Me, you figure, and people hold Me responsible for them, when really Im not. Its the same way
that you cant be held responsible for mistakes your grown up children make.
Dont make the mistake of underestimating Me and My capacities to save you out of any mess.
Things are still influenced by your personal choices and mistakes, but I even use those mistakes and cause them to work
together for your good.
There are those who would like to get back to the Garden somehow, who would not like to repeat endlessly the same
mistake Adam and Even made, and those are the kind of folks who are looking for Me.
You keep repeating the same mistake of placing your hopes in frail flesh and blood instead of Me, whenever you make
another human responsible for your personal happiness.
I very much use those things you consider to be mistakes in your life, and from them I teach you the most precious
lessons.
The mistakes youre learning from, you wont have to repeat!
Lessons learned from mistakes and the experience of the deep, dark trying times they often result in, are one of the most
precious harvests and treasures from life.

The only way to never make any mistakes is to skip school altogether and simply occupy yourself with doing what they
tell you to do in Kindergarten, in order to keep your basic needs met: You just follow the instruction of your overseers
and put the pegs into the corresponding holes without ever learning much else.
A man should take heed and watch what he sows, and to check the motivations of his heart as to whether theyre pure or
not, and if mistakes have been made, to learn from them and make sure not to repeat them, or at least try to avoid
repeating them.
I am Who and what you will have to deal with in order to find a solution to the problems you cause by your mistakes. I'm
the answer to when you muff it.
Unfortunately, despite the best of intentions, that's bound to keep happening. I'm afraid you are still going to make a few
mistakes.
What I'm telling you, though, is: don't worry, I'll still and always be there to help you fix and solve them.
You know what I think about mistakes: Nothing in the world will ever teach you faster how to do it better or what to look
out for next time.
Throughout history I have asked My servants to do things that often may have looked like mistakes, like asking Hosea to
marry a harlot... Should it be so odd that I would have made you stick to a person for a while that you were going to learn
similar lessons from?
Life is all about finding out what you (and all of mankind per se) did wrong, and learning from it how to do better...
Dont be afraid of your mistakes or even the mess you might get yourself in, or get discouraged by the one you find
yourself in already.
Those who think they are wise and perfect dont need the Teacher, but those who know that theyre ignorant and make
mistakes, do.
If making mistakes is part of the meaning and purpose of life, then what better qualification for learning is there, than to
venture out and try something new, even at the risk of the new liberties you may have allowed, to turn out to have been
mistakes?
Of course, those who think theyd do everything better and dont make mistakes, will never forgive you for those
mistakes. But in so doing, they actually become guilty of a worse sin.
So, as you can tell, Our way of looking at things is really quite different from the human way. You tend to equal mistakes
with bad. We say theyre good in the long run, because nothing teaches you better.
Thats a mistake some people make: they follow My path, but not truly whole-heartedly, still clinging to some of the ways
and thoughts of the world, or to their own selfishness, and then are disappointed if it doesnt work out the way they
dreamed and blame it on Me and forsake My path.
Taking things and especially people for granted is a killer, and Ive watched it do so much harm over the course of
time, you can hardly blame Me for making things a little harder on you in order to ensure you wont be making the same
mistake
If you make mistakes, I can make it so that every stumble will only be a fall upward, every trial a lesson and something
you benefit from in the long run.
In every situation there would have been a right way to do things, and when people do them the wrong way, it behooves
them to learn from their mistakes eventually, and sometimes its part of your job and task to make them even aware of the
fact that they might have made a mistake or done things in a less than favorable way at all
The worst disasters come about when people pretend they have a clue and just keep going as though they did, when they
really dont. (2011:33)
Okay, so maybe it was all a big mistake. But what if it wasnt? What if the Big Cheese Upstairs actually had a clue about
what He was doing, and He hasnt lost it yet? Wouldnt it look ridiculous, retrospectively to have doubted Him then?
Wouldnt you just feel a little bit ashamed of ever ceasing to trust Him for a moment, even if at times things may look a
little too weird to believe that He knew what He was doing? (2011:62)
All those mistakes are not a waste, but you can sure learn a lot from them; even if its mostly about which way not to do
it
(2011:69)

Neglecting Me is the one worst mistake you could ever make. (2011:74)
Failure and making mistakes is a very common, human thing, even among the most anointed.

As long as people have their own opinions that they base on their own thoughts, preferences and feelings about things
and without sacrificing their own bias and making their stance dependent on My input, there will be mistakes. (2011:104)
People resent having to admit their mistakes and having them corrected, but its actually the only way to learn. (2011:106)
The only way to improve and make progress is to focus on and correct your own mistakes, instead of those of others.
(2011:117)

Just about the worst thing you can do is to think youve got Me all figured out. (2011:121)
You know My stance on mistakes, and making them is only human. Of course, youll try to avoid making them as much as
you can, but that is precisely the way to learn, and once you did make mistakes, chances are that youll try to do better
next time.
Its always better to try and fail than to never dare anything new at all. When you think about what you could have done
better, chances are that next time you will. (2011:128)
The worst mistakes in history have been made by those who relied on their own understanding. (2012:12)
Is failure and making mistakes in your life good for you? You bet. Otherwise thered be no need for improvement,
instruction and learning, and Id become superfluous in your life. (2012:25)
Many folks quit, once they realize theyre not as good at something theyve learned to do as they may have thought they
were, because someone or some experience highlights some areas in which they slack or keep making mistakes, and
they figure it must simply not have been their thing, after all, letting all previous time and efforts invested go to waste. Its
basically because theyre too proud to admit and live with their failures, so they avoid whatever causes the failures, and
they stick to the easy stuff they know theyre good at the things basically anyone can do what you might call second
best. Or third, etc.
Their real failure lies in viewing their mistakes and the pointing out or correction of them as a negative to be avoided at
any cost, whereas the true success stories are written by those who treasure each of their mistakes and failures as
precious gems: priceless opportunities from which to learn how to do it better the next time around, and, if nothing else,
how not to do it!
So, how willing are you to face and learn from your mistakes? How prone are you to take them as an excuse to give up or
to take on an attitude of resignation? And if you are, will you wake up and recognize that tendency as the enemy? (2012:45)
Can you blame life for showing you up to be mistaken?
I want to protect you from greater harm and more serious mistakes. (2012:50)
Find out what was and is really a mistake, true and false, and what hasnt been. (2012:85)
Somebody had to do it. The whole thing, including the mistakes. If you can do it without making any, go ahead Try.
But Im afraid youll discover that youll turn out to be just as human. (2012:86)
People are as prone to making mistakes as trees are prone to tumble, and earthquakes and thunderstorms are prone to
happen in nature
Of course there are mistakes in the beginning of every learning process.
Keep your connection with Me strong!
Others may be able to get by without it, but dont make the mistake of comparing yourself to them, because you may not.
(2012:94)

What matters is, to learn something from it all, to do better next time around, that you dont keep repeating the same old
mistakes. (2012:118)
Its not My style to go chasing after My children to stop every little fight theyre having, nor to stop them from reaping the
consequences of every mistake. After all, thats the whole purpose in life: Reap the consequences and learn from it!
(2012:146)

The mind is a susceptible thing, and if you dont strengthen and guard it against the enemys attacks, youre prone to
make mistakes, which in turn you will be tempted to accuse and blame Me for.
The all too common mistake: overestimating yourself, especially your intelligence, and assuming a mental position of
superiority to Me by judging, when thats one thing I strongly advised to refrain from, but leave that up to the Judge
instead.
So, heres another reason why it certainly pays to make that effort to make sure you get or stay on My wavelength: It will
help you to avoid making a bunch of silly mistakes resulting in the even bigger mistake of blaming Me for not preventing
them when it was in your own power to do so, had you made the right choices instead.
The Devils greatest aid is the assumption that youre not that dumb, and the illusion of greater intelligence than what you
really have at your disposal, so as to make you believe that it couldnt possibly be your own mistake, since youre too

smart for that, so its got to be My fault for simply being so mean to let it happen, when the truth is, you have brought this
upon yourself and allowed and caused it to happen. (2012:147)
The first step in learning a lesson in the School of life is to make the mistake yourself, often repeatedly, and eventually get
the point of not repeating it anymore. The next one is, trying to stop others from making the same, once you see theyre
about to.
Most people have no problem correcting mistakes they see in others, but when it comes to seeing their own mistakes,
theyre just about blind.
Learning to deal with mistakes others are making, that youve made before is really a wonderful opportunity for learning
how to love, showing what you learned, and apply that gained knowledge or wisdom (theres a difference, you know?) in
the right way, not in a self-righteous, preachy attitude, but one of true love and understanding. (2013:18)
Not to come to Me for the strength you need makes the mistake all the more blatant when you neglect your first duty of
coming to fellowship with Me, when you need so much what I can give you, and youre so hopeless without it.
I can help you make it through this rough and difficult life, but only if you come to Me for that help. If you dont, theres no
use in complaining about how rough it is. Its that rough because you chose to do it without Me That was your choice
and you reap the consequences. Now you can choose to learn to do better next time through this, or keep repeating the
same old mistake of neglecting and ignoring Me. (2013:42)
People hardly ever know that theyre making a mistake while theyre making it, and without a teacher to point it out, they
might not even find out afterwards. (2013:44)
The problem is that you keep making the same mistake over and over again: Youre not putting into practice what Ive
been trying to teach you and what youve been learning in theory. (2013:47)
Some of the things youre having to go through are bound to make you realize what mistakes in your life youre having to
correct (2014:31)
Most people who think they are, arent really as perfect Theres usually a lot more left to learn from mistakes being or
having been made. (2014:33)
Realizing and dealing with your failures is definitely something worth it.
Its good to learn the lessons about and from failures (2014:44)
As much as it may seem to you like you made a crappy mistake, without it, your life might have been worse. Some good
things just need hard things to be paid for (2014:47)
Sometimes youre wrong, and things you assume can be mistaken Trust Me that thats a common weakness, and you
can use a lot of help! (2014:50)
Most people can more easily recognize the faults in others, and not their own
People are often quicker to bring out others faults, and slower at realizing their own (2014:51)
Its good for you to start realizing where your life has been failing in some aspects! Its good to start realizing where you
need help and correction. (2014:80)
Even though there have been and are mistakes followers of Mine make, try to stay in tune and connection with Me. Let Me
prove to you and show you that I can do it in spite of all the mistakes that were made in My name or by followers of
Mine
(2014:82)

Learn from previous mistakes!


Mistakes are made; and sometimes without folks making and committing them knowing that they are
You could be doing much better if you hadnt allowed certain mistakes followed by certain consequences. (2014:84)
The kind of things I allow to happen that some folks consider mistakes may be hard to understand for humans, but
therell be a surprise story attached in the end (2014:86)
Its easy to forget some of the mistakes made that usually should warn you. (2014:91)
When some things go wrong, it means that certain mistakes and errors need to be corrected, and problems solved.
(2014:114)

Maybe if life becomes a mess due to many mistakes being made, youll wind up praying a bit more for all the
circumstances (2014:117)

Learning to have to be better is what you do when you realize what mistakes youve made, and unfortunately, that doesnt
always happen as long as everything in life goes good for you. So, sometimes its also needed to have things happen that
are not so good, which make you realize where you havent been so good and why you must go through this and what
you must learn. (2014:139)
It might just be good to be open for changes. And not think youre just always right about anything. That might be a
mistake. And mistakes need correction. (2014:165)
Praising the Father means, you know and appreciate His Strength! Murmuring means, you underestimate It and almost
consider the enemys higher and thats a mistake! (2014:174)
Sometimes it pays to stay on the straight and narrow path to stay on the attack, and on the defense against the enemys
influences, otherwise hell get his rights against you, to make you suffer for sins he tempted you to commit. These are
lessons of life lessons that pay to make the effort to better learn them.
If you make the mistakes that let him win over you well, thats the hard way to learn, but usually (and should be)
something youll never forget.
If you make mistakes like that, they should keep you on the alert, never to let the enemy win such advantages against
you. (2015:29)
Fight for making it against the temptations to keep repeating the same mistakes that would rob you from the blessings
from above! (2015:40)
Youd still have some opportunity to change a bit and apply some new ways, and not repeating the same old mistakes
from the past (2015:112)
As far as your mistakes are concerned, just try to learn the lessons out of them that they should teach you, and least of
all, let them keep you humble!
Yes, youve made mistakes, and so, youre not perfect. And knowing that should at least keep you humble, and not selfrighteous. (2015:113)
Trying it less in your own strength and handle it all to Me and the heavenly Power instead will also help you to commit
less mistakes. (2015:123)
Bear with it thats confronting you right now, knowing that theres got to be some reason for Us allowing it, and its not
just to spank and chasten you for your sins and mistakes! (2015:157)
Dont get too condemned about your mistakes and sinful behavior! At least it keeps you aware of the fact that thinking
youre perfect would be an illusion!
Youre more aware of your faults and mistakes, and the only way to correct them is to become aware of them!
So, dont feel too bad about your mistakes and errors, but just take the measure of correction youre going through as
something obviously needed, and dont be too offended about Me letting it happen! (2015:163)
Folks just need to learn from their mistakes! Not always easy, I admit, but still necessary. Can you bear with it? Just
learn from your mistakes that youre making, even if its a bit hard to accept the chastisement and go through it, but
unfortunately, thats the only way through which most people will learn: through being corrected for their mistakes.
(2015:164)

If youre going through some rough times, just bear with having to pay for some of the sins you committed and mistakes
you made, yourself! Especially when you can tell that the tough times upon the rest of the world are already coming soon
to let unbelievers reap what theyve sown. (2015:169)
Not very pleasant to have to deal with the results of your own failures, and a humbling and painful experience, but well,
thats the way to learn the lessons from former mistakes.
Eventually theres a time folks have to learn from their mistakes.
Failure has to teach something and its not just a procedure of fun. (2015:188)
Remember repentance and being sorry for mistakes youve made, learn some lessons, and reap the consequences from
it all that went wrong! (2015:192)
Even if its a bit painful at times, having to go through the lessons to learn from mistakes made, or ungodly behavior,
youre just going to have to accept it and deal with it. Take it as what you deserve, even if it doesnt strike you as a great
part of love to have to put up with chastisement for your sins and wrongdoings
Learning the lessons from your wrongs is one of the major purposes of life, so dont resist it, or let your heart go against
it!
Others will have to pay for it afterwards, but from My followers, one of the things I expect from them is learning the right
of their wrongs during their lives on Earth along with the lessons there are to be learned of the wrongs committed by

many others. (2016:12)


Lifes a lesson on what not to do, how not to behave and act, if you want to do it the proper way Our way. It includes the
experience of learning about the mistakes one can make by being governed mainly by selfish intentions, being concerned
about ones own welfare, instead of that of others. (2016:57)
My death was to prevent you from suffering hereafter, if you receive Me. But for some of your sins, faults and mistakes
you have to go through some experiences yourselves down there that youll be able to learn from how to do it better.
(2016:61)

Dont let your heart and mind be too attached to your belongings! That would be one of the mistakes that many make!
(2016:62)

If you cant learn well from your own mistakes and faults, maybe having to go through those of others around you will
eventually wind up teaching you some of it! (2016:71)
If Id have died only for those who never made mistakes, I could have spared Myself from the trouble.
But see? Thats love: to give yourself to someone (or a hoard of someones as I did) in spite of their mistakes! Can you
love that much? Love folks in spite of their faults and mistakes? Just as I love you in spite of yours? Well, thats
what love consists of, and anything without that ability couldnt really be considered love!
So, if you want to get anywhere along the whole purpose of life, make an effort to handle and accept peoples flaws
around you, because otherwise it just couldnt be called love, whatever youre trying to do.
If God is Love, why not try to give and forgive and love folks in spite of their sins, faults, failures and shortcomings? Why
not at least give it a try? And another one and another one in spite of whatever excuse the enemys trying to give
you for not loving this or that one for this and that mistake they made? Dont make the biggest mistake of all to let the
devil trick you out of the greatest if not the only - sense and purpose of life down there!
If youre forgiven for a lot of faults and mistakes, wouldnt it be the worst mistake in the world you could make not to
forgive others for theirs?
The passive love motion, of only receiving love is not it, and it could be the biggest mistake in life. Whereas the active
mode of giving love away, even when theres nothing coming from the other side now thats what makes love turn into
the Real Thing! (2016:88)
