For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring Word of God. For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls off, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the Word which was preached as good news to you. I Peter 1:23-25.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
The flower fades but My Word lives and endures forever—Words of eternal life. Get My Word in you and you are forever. Eternal life is in My Word. And My Son is My Word. And he who has My Son has eternal life. Why? The one who has My Son has My eternal Word in himself, and if you have My Word in you, you are forever.
Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 7:2-3. Get My Words in your heart and you will be filled with life, eternal life. My Words are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:22. Paul preached the Word to the Corinthians and he wrote to them, “You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” 2 Corinthians 3:2-3. The Psalmist writes, “Your Word I have treasured in my heart.” Psalm 119:11.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Jesus told you that. He said, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:44-50.
And when you become a new creation in Christ it is because you are born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through My living and enduring Word. For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls off, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word which was preached as good news to you.
Store up the Word in your heart. I have given you My Word. Store up treasure in Heaven. My Word is established forever in Heaven. My Word made everything and it still moves and sustains everything that is. My Word is the most powerful treasure you can possess.
Your life should be a celebration of My revelation. I am speaking of our relationship. Relationship is based on the revelation of who one is to the other. And for it to be genuine the revelation must be true. If you keep My Word in your heart, Jesus will reveal Himself to you, John 14:21, and seeing Him you see Me, and We will come to make our abode with you.
That is relationship and that is eternal life. Jesus told you that eternal life is knowing Me and the One whom I sent, Jesus Christ your Lord. So it is knowing Me by My Word. That is the way you reveal your heart to another, by your words. And you are only as good as your words.
Set this as your aim each day: praise, love, and rejoice. PLR. Each morning put on the garment of praise in place of the spirit of heaviness (depression, weakness, fear, anxiety). You can praise your way out of any problem. Just ask David, Jehoshaphat, Mary, Elizabeth, and Paul. Just when all looks very bleak, sing a song of praise in the shadow of My wings till harm passes by. In the darkness of your midnight hour, wake the dawn with your song. I come down when you praise and with Me comes the light.
Love. Owe no one a debt except to love them. Love covers a multitude of sins. I am looking at the heart, not the appearance. Being is more important than doing. Your doing should come from your being and not vice versa. You can do great works and achieve great fame but if you have no love, it means nothing to Me. I am love and thus love attracts Me. I can move in the heart and life of one who loves. It is more important to Me that you are motivated by love of Me and your fellow man than if you accomplish great feats that put the whole world in awe of your achievements. Whether ten thousand show up to hear you speak or only one makes no difference to Me, it is your motivation that matters. To Jesus it was just as important to seek out and save one lonely woman at a well in Samaria as it was when he spoke to crowds of over five thousand on the hillsides of Galilee. I do not see crowds, I see individuals. A crowd was around Jesus when He looked up at Zacchaeus and told him to come down out of the tree so that Jesus could spend the day with him at his house.
Faith is the force that connects you with Heaven and brings those things in the supernatural into the natural, but faith works by love. Love underlies and undergirds everything. It is rock solid and is not moved. Love never dies. Faith, hope and love are eternal, like My Word, but the greatest of these is love. Love moves and motivates all. I am love. Imitate Me as My precious children and walk in divine love every day, all day. Know and believe in the love I have for you. Love because I first loved you, from before the foundation of the world, I loved you. And love gives you joy all the day. You are loved and I give you My love, hence you can love. You own it. I gave it to you and poured it in your heart by My gift of the Holy Spirit. Let love flow. Do not stop it.
Rejoice. Again, I say rejoice. My servant Paul understood, “Rejoice in the Lord always!” He advised. You find true rejoicing in relationship. When you are loved and accepted, cherished and valued, treasured and respected, listened to and encouraged, you have joy and you rejoice. You are at ease in the presence of those who love, value and understand you. In the presence of those you can trust to do good to you and not evil, to give you a future and a hope, you can rejoice in who you truly are. And that is what you always have with Me. I did not send Jesus to judge you but to save you. There is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus. I know the plans I have for you, plans for your shalom and not evil, to give you a beautiful future and a hope. Beauty for your ashes, and to turn your mourning into dancing.
Join with Me in My songs of love and deliverance that I am singing over you with joy, as one rejoices at festivals. I have given you the victory in Christ Jesus, and that is relationship. I call it Covenant. My everlasting Covenant of love.
I love you. Praise, love and rejoice. Let Me order your days aright that you may gain wisdom of heart. And wisdom is in My Words. Store them up in your heart, speak them with your mouth, and do them each day. That is all you need to make your way prosperous and to succeed. And remember success to Me is based on the motivation of your heart.
