Ephesians Chapter Three NLT
14. When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
First John Chapter Four
18. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
John Chapter Thirteen
34. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
As I was praying today these verses came to my mind and I began thinking about them. When I did Father spoke to me and asked me to listen and write and publish his word for all to hear. Here are his words. He said:
My beloved children, I speak these things often so you will understand. Love is the only way and the only plan. All things that I have ever done are because of love and it should be the same for you. Love should be your only focus and your only plan.
The only way to succeed in my kingdom is to abandon all things except love. The reason the power of the kingdom is not being revealed in so many of my children at this time is because you were taught religion and not love.
The only way to build your foundation on love is to surrender to my Spirit and let my Spirit strengthen your innermost being to receive my love. As it is written, this is love, not that you loved me but that I loved you and sent my Son to deliver you from your sin which is the fallen mind and restore you to you true self which is a god from God. You must take time in my presence to get rooted and grounded in my love for you if you truly want to know who I am and who you are.
Remember my beautiful ones that reading about is not knowing. You get to know someone by fellowship with them. You can’t read a book about someone and really know who they are. You must spend time with them. When my Son called his disciples away to follow him it wasn’t so he could teach the scriptures but so they would experience his love on a personal level. As it is written, they will know you are disciples by the love you have for each other. Not by signs and wonders or miracles but by love. Remember, even Pharaoh’s magicians could do signs and wonders. Many people can perform many acts that will amaze you but it doesn’t mean they are a disciple.
My children the only way to truly know my love is to fellowship with me constantly. Don’t just come a couple times a day in prayer and think you are going to experience how much you are loved. Imagine if someone you loved lives with you and you only speak to them when you want something. All day long you are with them at home and never speak to them or spend time with them in fellowship. Would you really get to know them? There are people where you work or where you gather that you see often but you don’t really know them.
My dearest ones, I live inside you. I hear every thought, every sigh, every care and every breath you take. I want you to see me as your constant companion and speak to me all day every day about everything. I want you to have a never ending conversation with me. Speak to me about all things and then listen for my voice. I always answer. I want you to focus on the truth that you are loved beyond your ability to conceive it. This is why you must be strengthened with might to even understand how much you are loved.
All problems in your life come from having a wrong foundation. If you are afraid it’s because you haven’t spent enough time in my presence to allow my love to drive the fear from your world. If you are sick it is because you haven’t spent enough time with me for my Spirit to reveal to you that all your sickness and disease was carried away by my Son. If you are struggling with financial problems it is because you haven’t spent enough time in my love to know that all that I have is already yours. Love never fails and once your whole life is built upon the foundation of love then you won’t fail either.
So my holy, powerful children; Will you stop talking to yourself in your inner voice and talk to me? Let me be involved in your hardest tasks and your simplest chores. I love and care for every detail in your lives but I can only live in the rooms you open for me. I will help you with complex tasks or visit with you while you sweep the floor.
There are wonderful days ahead when just as prophesied “all shall know me from the least to the greatest” and the earth is filled with the knowledge (experience) of the glory of God. All these things will come about as the great awakening of love fully comes. It only comes by the revealing of how much you are loved and who you are.
Will you go back and rebuild your foundation on love and how much you are loved? The church of today built itself upon scriptures instead of the person the scriptures were written about. Even those who don’t believe in me know the scriptures but they have no relationship with me. Do you remember that my Son told the Pharisees that they searched the scriptures thinking they would find life in them? The true life, the one whom the law and prophets pointed to stood before them and they rejected him. Knowing the scriptures does not equal having a relationship with the risen and exalted Christ.
The scriptures are wonderful as originally written and contain truth about me and my plan but they are not your foundation. You can learn about me through them but you can’t know me through them. The church flourished in my love for almost four hundred years before what you call “the bible” was available. Some churches go as far as to call the book “the word of God.” Our beloved John told you and it is written in the book that in the beginning the word was with God and the word was God and we beheld “HIM” not it. What you call the bible contains words that I spoke but that book isn’t God. I AM. Suppose your name is John and you write a letter to a friend and the friend holds up the letter and tells people this letter is John? Would that make any sense? You don’t have relationships with books. You have relationships with people. So as you learn who I am you can lovingly and humbly restore those who are trapped in religion knowing that you yourselves were once trapped also.
So please my beloved ones, look inside where I dwell and come to know my love for you. Get to truly know the one who knows you best and loves you most. Come fellowship with me as your dearest companion and find out just how great my love for you is. When my love becomes the very beat of your heart then you can truly share me with others not because you read a book or heard someone preach but because you truly know me and know my love. Abandon all else and spend the time it takes to rebuild your foundation upon me for I Am Love!
These are the words He gave me to share with you today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words,
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
Michael
ps: Thank you very much to Frank, Dan, Carolyn and Esteban! I love you dearly!
