Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love. Ephesians 5:1-2.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Love is the outstanding characteristic of the sanctified life. When you transition from this world to My Kingdom three things remain that should be the characteristics of your life, and they are faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love. Why? Because faith and hope only work by love.
And these three are doing My Will for faith is always rejoicing, for it is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Hope is praying without ceasing, for hope does not disappoint and is always expecting good things from Me. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Mark 11:24. And love is giving thanks constantly for love is grateful and values the beloved.
Everything depends on one thing: Love. For what you love you value and keep. What you love you will do with delight. Adam and Eve did not love Me or what they had and they lost it all for a lie. They did not love My Word, and I am My Word.
I am love and I must see My image in you for you to come into My Kingdom, for how can two walk together unless they agree? How can two abide together forever unless they are of one mind and one purpose?
And love is the fruit of your life and lips if you are abiding in Me and filled with the Spirit. It is first on the list of what makes up the fruit of the Spirit in you and on you.
I make all things work together for good for those who love Me and are called according to My purpose, that is, the purpose of your life. And the purpose of all things, the reason for all things, is love. For I AM your reason to be and your eternity. Love is everything and the reason for everything and without love you are nothing.
That is why the devil is a zero. Jesus disarmed him and brought him to nought. Love is stronger than death and overcomes evil with good. And yet the devil boasts of mighty things, but he is a liar and the father of lies, a murderer from the beginning. Without love you are a murderer.
We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:14-15.
Many of you are seeking to do My Will in your life. I tell you to be imitators of Me, as My beloved children, and walk in love. I think then you would do well to be interested in learning about love. And in learning about love, you are learning about who I am, for I am love, and eternal life is knowing Me and the One I sent, Jesus Christ. For I so loved you, I gave you Him so that you will not perish but have eternal life. And as you grow in your knowledge of Me and My Son, grace and peace are multiplied to you. 2 Peter 1:2.
I never tell you to do something that I do not clearly define for you and that I do not give you the grace to do. When you are born again you are born of love (of Me) and I pour My love into your heart by the Holy Spirit, who is My gift to you. So you have My love to love with. And I define for you what love is.
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered (keeps no record of wrongs suffered), does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Now if you want to know who I am just replace the word “love” with My Name. And I tell you to imitate Me as My beloved children, so it should be that your family, friends and co-workers could replace the word “love” in the passage above with your name. Can they?
But more important than they, can I? If not, let us work on this together. You can receive My thoughts by faith, for they come down to you by My Spirit, and you can allow them to plant and grow in your heart. And My thoughts are loving thoughts. I am love, so I think in love, talk in love and walk in love. And love is light. For I am love and I am light. Live in the light of My love. This is to live pure. For light cleanses. Have you never read: “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:5-7.
My Son is the Light of the world, He is also the lamp of Heaven, and no follower of His shall ever walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. Light for the life of men. And in My light you see light. As My beloved children, imitate Me and walk in love and walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth).
The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is healthy (clear, good), your whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness. If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays. Luke 11:33-36.
So how do you get your eyes filled with light? How do you walk in the light? My Word is pure, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:8. And the revelation of My Word gives light and understanding. Psalm 119:130. My Word is a light to your path and a lamp to your feet. Psalm 119:105. How do you keep yourself pure, for that is what it means to live in the light? By keeping your life according to My Word, and when you treasure My Word in your heart, you will not sin against Me. Psalm 119:9-11.
Jesus, My Word made flesh, is the Light of the world and if you continue in His Word, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Free of the darkness, transferred to the glorious kingdom of My Son. And My Word is truth. And truth brings you into the light. In My light you see light. And in that light dwells love. Washed in light, washed in My Word, washed in the Blood. In Heaven, which is filled with light and there is no darkness, the gleaming glory of the saints came about when they washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14.
Jesus, the night before He gave His life for you to make you holy and blameless in My eyes and to make sin as if it had never been, restoring all the years lost since Adam, He told His disciples that the Word He had spoken to them had made them clean already. And the word used there for “clean” in the original Greek in which it was written, is the same word My Son used when He said “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
I spoke light into darkness and all became light. And I have shone that same light into your heart in Christ. The light of My love. Treasures out of darkness, for a people walking in darkness have seen a great light, on those in a land of gloom, light has shone, glory dwelling in your land.
Now is time of salvation. Go up on a high mountain and let the whole world know the good news, be a herald of glad tidings, for a child has been born to you, a Son given you and on His shoulders dominion rests, and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, God Hero, Father Forever, Prince of Peace.
Love. How good and pleasant it is where brethren dwell at one. It is there the anointing flows. But if there are jealousy and strife among you, the anointing cannot flow. It is not My fault, I give the Holy Spirit without measure, pouring My love into your heart, but strife, jealousy and division can render it unfruitful to you. Do not quench the Holy Spirit.
Watch your conversation. Where words are many, sin is not wanting. Immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. Ephesians 5:3-5. Walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:1-4.
Let no rude, evil or unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as I in Christ also have forgiven you. Ephesians 4:29-32.
So, as My holy and beloved children, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as I forgave you, so also should you, and I remember your sins and offenses NO MORE. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. I have clothed you in Christ, so you do have the garments of love to wear. Let the peace of Christ, which My Son gave to you, rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Love is thankful and blessed, and gives blessing without measure. Let My anointed word richly dwell within you, with all wisdom (ask Me for wisdom in dealing with one another and I will give it to you generously), teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing (and this is what Love sounds like among you) with thankfulness in your hearts for all the good I have done for you. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to Me, your Father, for all the treasures I have given you freely in My Son. Colossians 3:12-17.
For love consists in this, not that you have loved Me, but that I have loved you and given My Son as propitiation for your sins. And no one can ever take that from you. And no one can take your anointing out of you for I have sealed you in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit that is love, when you took Jesus as your Lord. But I will tell you a secret, when you really know and believe in the love I have for you, and begin to tap the height, depth, breadth and length of My love for you as manifested in Christ Jesus, you will love even as I love and that love will never fail. You will see your life, the lives of others, and the world in the light of My love. And that changes everything. Life becomes sweet.
I love you. I so loved the world I gave My Son so all who believe in Him shall never perish but shall have eternal life. The light of life. Let that light enlighten you so that your whole world glows and all will come to bask in your light. My light and My fidelity will lead you to My Holy Mountain, Zion, the mountain of grace, where My glorious perfection shines forth and changes all to light who come there.
