Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:8.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Everyone, from the newborn infant to the elderly one at the end of his or her earthly life is searching for love. Love is of the spirit, you cannot physically see love though you can see the effects, fruit, and works of it, but a life without love, true love, is no life at all. You can never know joy if you do not have and receive love.
Why is love such a powerful, attractive force that everyone is seeking it and is not complete without it? Why do babies and children wither away and die without it? Why do older people give up hope and have no desire to live if they are not surrounded with it? And why is life so exciting when you have and are loved? Why does nothing seem too difficult, and nothing can steal your joy when you have fallen in love and that love is accepted and returned?
The answer is simple, love is your source. I am love. It is My very nature and being. It is the essence of the Godhead. A love whose height, breadth, width and depth surpasses human knowledge and can only be known in the heart.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103. 11-12.
In your spirit joined to My Spirit, I pour My love into your heart.
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5.
And that makes you reign in life for you are filled with Me who am Love.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21.
That power is love. Not by human power or might do you overcome but by My Spirit in you and on you pouring My life into you and I am love. Abide in My love and you will reign in life through Christ Jesus.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the [m]saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 1and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Ephesian 3:14-19.
You were created by love, you were created with love, you were created for love, and you were created to love. It is who you are and it is who I am, for I am your source and I made you in My image and likeness and I am love.
You are Mine and until you live, abide, and rest in My love you will be restless and unstable. You will not be complete.
But let us go deeper, what is love? In other words, when you are seeking love what are you really seeking? It is not found in the flesh, though that is where a majority are seeking it, that kind of love is temporal and subject to change, loss, selfishness, and envy. It goes up and down. True love that never fades or changes is found in the Spirit realm. Without love you are not complete. I so loved the world I gave you Jesus so you will never perish but have eternal life. Without love people perish with love they live a blessed life. Jesus makes you complete.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete. Colossians 2:8-10.
Love is the home that you are always looking for. People who have had strokes or damages to their bodies are minds will often just keep saying they want to go home, and yet you can take them to the place where they had been living and they will still keep asking to go home. It is much deeper, your home is love and that love is found only in your source, i.e., your home in Me. The prodigal son knew for joy, provision, and life itself he had to return to his source, his father’s house. And so do you.
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. Psalm 36:7-9.
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. John 14:23.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6.
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Psalm 84:4.
Love is shalom. Nothing missing, nothing broke, and no one alone. The whole pie of life with no piece missing. Love is My plan for you.
For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for your peace and prosperity, your provision and your well-being (shalom) and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11-12.
Love is in the heart of everyone. I put eternity in each person’s heart, but no one wants an eternity without love. Love is what every person is looking forward to in Heaven, for My Kingdom is one of love, pure love. Love is the light that illumines Heaven. Come live in the light of My love. Love is a real substance in the spirit.
Love casts out fear. Love has no torment. Love is not ill at ease but at ease due to the One who takes all your care from you and works all together for your good. Love is confident assurance of good. But love can only be found in the One who is all and absolutely good. None is good but God alone, but you can be filled with Me.
I reveal Myself to those whose hearts are stirred to seek Me, I would like to introduce Myself to you. I am Love and I am Light, but I am a Person in My own eternal right. You are in My image and likeness though the first man and woman distorted and defaced that image in themselves and their descendants by walking in the darkness of a lie that brought sin into the world, but in Jesus I purify and make you anew to once again be My family, My own special treasure, who reign with Me forever.
Most do not know Me, but all can know Me.
And a good place to start is with My Name. Yahweh (יהוה). I gave him My memorial Covenant Name – LORD, which is Yahweh (יהוה) which is Hebrew meaning: I AM, I WAS, AND I AM TO COME. It is made up of three tenses of the verb “to be.” And with this Name, which promises My abiding and eternal presence, I add promises signed in My Covenant Name. And they reveal to you what love does for I am love and who I am to you is in My Covenant Promise Names.
So, if you want to know who love is and how love manifests, look at My Covenant Names. My Covenant with you is one of pure love and My Names are promises and characteristics of love. Nothing else, just pure love unadulterated from the Source.
I am the LORD who heals you (Yahweh Ropheka). Love heals. Love in its shalom blessing heals all that is ailing you in spirit, soul, and body. When you rest in love your broken heart is healed and more than healed it is restored. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and to set the captives free.
I am the LORD who sees ahead and provides (Yahweh Yireh). Love cares for and provides for the beloved. In Covenant the greater protects, cares for, and brings the lesser up to the greater one’s level.
I want to take care of you. Now and forever. From eternity to eternity you are Mine. I loved you before you came to be in time. My banner over you is love. Pure love. A kind that you have never known on the earth as it is in its corrupted state, but that is not the way it was originally made or intended. But I will make new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells and love is King.
I am the LORD your banner (victory, miracle) and My banner over you is love. Love never fails. Love always prevails. Love is stronger than death and raises from the grave. Love makes bitter sweet and long years short. I turn your mourning into dancing and a thousand years as a day.
I am the LORD your Shepherd. Shepherds feed, lead, care for, nourish, and protect their sheep. And as Jesus, your great good Shepherd told you, the good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. And He did but only to take it up again. And He will raise you up on the last day.
I am the LORD of Hosts. And that is another proof of My love. I give you angels to protect and guide you lest you strike your foot upon a stone. These marvelous messengers of Mine can do amazing things for you. Do not let them stand there idle all the day and night, but giving them work to do.
I am the LORD your righteousness. My love removes your sins and puts them on Jesus and makes you righteous with My own righteousness in Him. He made peace through the blood of His cross and made you holy, righteous and blameless, without reproach, before Me. Love never leaves you in sin, love purifies and changes you into love. Love holds nothing back from the beloved. It has pleased Me to give you the Kingdom. It has please Me to make you joint heirs with Christ.
I am the LORD who sanctifies you. I cleanse you from all unrighteousness with the blood of the Lamb and with My Word. I am here for you to help you on your path to holiness, without which no one can see Me. The beauty of holiness is yours in Christ Jesus.
I am the LORD your refuge, your fortress, your stronghold, and your deliverer. And all those are characteristics of love. Love protects, makes strong and courageous, love can always be counted on to deliver.
The love I have for you flows from the fact that I am Love. I do not just have love, I AM LOVE. That is who I am. Everything that is not love is foreign to Me and does not enter into Me. I think in love, walk in love and talk in love. You can trust that I will not act in any other way.
Believe in the love I have for you. When you really know Me and the love that I have for you, you will never fear anything again. Perfect love casts out all fear. Love is not perfect yet in one who is afraid.
I describe what love is in the first letter to the Corinthians. If you want to know Me and how I act with you, just read that passage substituting the word “God” for “love.” God is patient, God is kind. God does not envy, God does not boast, God is not proud. God is not rude, God is not self-seeking, God is not easily angered, God keeps no record of wrongs. God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. God never fails.
Do you know Me this way? If not, it is time you drew close to Me and got to know Me. It is time for you to taste and see My goodness. I am there for you.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39.
Love makes you into an overcomer. Love gives you authority to be amazing. Love makes you more than a conqueror.
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God. Isaiah 43:1-3.
Why do I do all that for you who are Mine?
“Because you are precious in My sight, you are honored and I love you. I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you.” Isaiah 43:4-5.
I planned you with love, I made you with love, I saved you with love, and I will continue to save you with love. But there is more. I share My authority with you are Mine by faith, you whom I can trust.
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.” Luke 10:19-20.
It makes you stand out in the crowd. My eye is on all with provision and love but the one who loves Me in faith, I pour out treasures of favor and grace from above. I am the God of the breakthrough. And that is what David called Me. Noah stood out in the evil crowd and hence he did not go the way of the wicked. I offered him another path. And he took it diligently.
My love for you caused Me to send My only begotten Son to take all your sin and bear the judgment, condemnation, shame and punishment for your sins so that you would be righteous before Me and there would be nothing between us but peace and reconciliation. Peace by the blood of His cross. Your sins and offenses I remember no more. I put them all in His account and took them out of yours. In your account I put all His righteousness, health, wealth, joy and peace.
If people but knew the goodness in My Heart and the intense love I have for them, they would come running to My throne of grace, to the mercy seat, running to My embrace, running to My everlasting arms! Come to Me, you will find welcome. I will refresh you. From My delightful stream I will give you to drink. The river of life, clear as crystal running down the streets of Heaven from My throne overflowing into your hearts to become the fountain welling up in your spirit unto eternal life that Jesus spoke of. You will never thirst again.
It will make you more than a conqueror. Jesus has given you authority, His authority in His Name, over all the forces of evil and nothing shall harm you if you exercise your authority. He told you those who believe in Him would do the works He did and greater and His works were powerful acts of love and deliverance. He came to undo the works of he devil.
In Him and in His Name, you too can stand up as one in ten thousand and stop the flames, stop the storms, cast out demons, heal the sick, speak to blind eyes to see, and to deaf ears to hear. STOP PERMITTING EVIL TO RUN OVER YOU AND STAND UP IN THE STRENGTH AND POWER OF MY MIGHT AND TAKE THE ENEMY DOWN UNDER YOUR FEET.
But to do this it all starts very simply. Draw close to Me and I will draw close to you. Listen to Me, do not harden your heart when I speak or just be so distracted with the voices of the world, the flesh, and the devil that you do not even hear My still soft voice witnessing with your spirit when I am speaking with you. Seek Me with all your heart and you will find Me right there with you more than ready to open a meaningful conversation that will light up your life and turn your cold heart into a heart burning with joy, enthusiasm and love. Fall in love with Me as I have with you from before you were even born.
Do you remember how exciting life becomes when you have fallen in love? Never leave your first love for Me, I never do for you.
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her. Genesis 29:20.
David lived an amazing life of victory despite that he had many enemies from his youth that tried to stop and steal his destiny but I delivered him out of them all and brought him to be the most powerful and loving king to shepherd My people Israel that ever was and My Son will rule from David’s throne forever. But why was this so? Read Psalm 18, a song of David to Me alone.
“I love You, O LORD, my strength.” The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:1-3.
Is that how you come to speak with Me? Have you ever opened your prayer or started your day that way? David always did, just read the psalms. He woke the dawn with his song to Me and My praise was ever in his mouth. He blessed Me at all times. And he invites you to join in with him.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. Psalm 34:3.
You see that the authority to be amazing in your generation so that you are spoken of for generations to come is in your love for Me and in My love for you. Love makes you bold because you know Me and all that is yours in Me as My dear child.
You must come to know and to believe in the love which I have for you to be really happy, confident and worry-free. Love never wrongs the neighbor. My plans for you are in keeping with My love for you—good plans for your peace, prosperity, and happiness and not for suffering and disaster.
Let Me protect you from the curse, for it is in the world from sin and corruption. You must understand that earthquakes, famine and disease are not of My making nor are they My Will for mankind. They are the result of the curse that Adam brought into the earth and which I sent My Son to redeem you from. It is still in the earth and will be there until My Son returns and the tribulation period takes place and I renew, make new, the earth and the heavens the way they were meant to be and cleanse them from the horrible corruption man has caused, but you can be shielded from it and have authority over it even now if you take Jesus as your Lord and are clothed in Him. He won back the authority Adam lost and He can give it to you so that you can reign with Him in this life. Romans 5:17. If you will let Me I can surround you with My love and favor as a shield. I can protect and redeem you if you will authorize Me to do so in your life, otherwise I cannot. It is up to you. I surround you with songs of deliverance and victory will you sing them with Me and watch your enemies fall?
Call to Me and I will answer Me. Draw close to Me and I will draw close to you. Allow Me to be your Protector, your Provider, your Champion, your Good Shepherd, your Father, your Friend, your Lover, and your Spouse. Give Me your heart; I have already given you Mine. I loved you and knew you before you came to be. Jeremiah 1:5, Ephesians 1:4.
Those who have sought Me and experienced My love, those who have tasted My goodness, are never again the same. My servant Paul wrote that the surpassing goodness he had experienced in knowing Me made him count all the things that used to be so important to him as rubbish. Nothing could take him down. My servant David wrote that when he was with Me the world delighted him not. He sang of My love as precious, as a refuge, as a feast, as reaching to the heavens, and as a river of delights. Psalm 36:5-9 (NAS); Psalm 36:6-10 (NAB). Have you experienced this? You can.
Believe in My love. I am with you if you let Me be. Taste and see My goodness. And watch the demons fall under your feet. Love will make you amazing for that is what I have done.
I love you. Come to Me and I will give you rest. Rest in My everlasting arms. Love is not an agitated state, it is a place of rest in My house with Me. It is rule in the midst of your enemies. Let Love be your home and you will always come out above and not beneath for love never fails. Be imitators of Me as My dear children and walk in love and you will always overcome for I am the Most High, seated with Me, safe you will be.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:20-21.
