Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 16:16-17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I often speak to you in three’s, that is, in triplets. I am One God in three divine persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. There are faith, hope and love. I tell you to rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks. The Kingdom of Heaven is one of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. There is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and of each of you.
But to go through life with joy, it comes always back to the three that remain forever: faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is Love. Do you see? That is the Trinity.
Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith. Hebrews 12:2. He is the faithful witness and the High Priest of your confession of faith. So there you see faith personified in the Person of Christ in whom you have believed. Whoever believes in Him is saved and will not be judged for He paid your judgment and satisfied your sentence.
Hope is by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13.
The Holy Spirit gives you hope of the good things to come and guides you in all truth.
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:24-26.
And when you believed in the gospel of your salvation I sealed you in Christ by the Holy Spirit as the pledge of the resurrection of the redemption of your body to come. And that is hope personified.
And I am Love. I do not just have love, I am love. Nothing else enters Me or comes from Me. I think in love, I talk in love, and I walk in love. Be imitators of Me as My dear children and walk in love. It is My love, the love of the Father, that has planned all these wonderful things I have done for you in Christ by My Holy Spirit. It is My doing that you are in Christ Jesus, whom I made to be wisdom to you and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. I draw you to Jesus by human cords of love. I have formed you and sustain you with hands of love. Yahavah is My Name.
Love gives you joy. My joy is your strength. Love is stronger than death. It is an unquenchable flame. I am your strength and song and I have become your Salvation.
My prophet Hosea knew of My lovingkindness and he called you to come and know Me.
Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD, His appearing is as sure as the dawn; He will come to us like the early and the later rains that water the earth. Hosea 6:3.
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is the Word of Knowledge. It can be about Me, a revelation of who you are in Me and the plans I have for your life, or it can be about another person, but it is always for the benefit of all. It is not gossip, it is for their edification, encouragement and exhortation.
My heart’s desire is for all to know Me from the least to the greatest. And all are great in My eyes because I paid a great price to reconcile you to Myself. I paid with the life of My Son and every drop of His precious blood. I was in Christ reconciling you to Myself, putting all your sins on Him so you can be righteous before Me with My own righteousness and spend forever with Me.
When you so greatly appreciate and desire something that you are willing to pay a very great price for it, in fact, to give your dearest possession, your very life for it, you hold it dear and protect it as the apple of your eye once it is yours. Remember the parable My Son told of the pearl of great price? When the merchant in search of fine pearls found that most precious pearl he sold all he had to buy it and counted it worth it. But think about how then he had to watch over it and protect it from being snatched away from him.
Or even if you purchase a very expensive breed of dog or cat. You cared enough about it to expend your wages on it of a great amount. You are not going to let that cat or dog just wander outside on the street where it could be run over by a car, attacked by a stray dog, or poisoned by a malicious person. You keep careful watch and guard over it, you take good care of it to keep it healthy and happy so that you have that pet for many years and you would want to keep it with you always and forever.
And parents if their child is kidnapped will give everything they have to pay the ransom to have that child with them again.
What am I saying? I watch over you every moment of the day and night. Saving you was very expensive, very costly, you could never have paid the judgment or satisfied the sentence but I paid it with My Son’s eternal life in the flesh for the eternal life you lost and could never redeem on your own. The price is too high to save even one soul. But I have purchased and paid for you all. Cast you cares on Me because I care for you. You are precious in My eyes. And I will complete the good work I have begun in you. I bought you at too great a price for Me to ever let you go. I want you with Me forever.
Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:18-19.
I have invested too much in you to let you go now. I will take you the rest of the way to the finish line and then on to the eternal Kingdom. I have called you to My own glory and excellence (virtue).
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and [e]excellence. 2 Peter 1:2-3.
The knowledge of who I am to you and what I have done for you in Christ Jesus will give you joy unspeakable filled with glory. And that joy will give you strength.
I anoint you with the oil of joy just as I did Jesus by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And the anointing lifts the burden and destroys the yoke. It anoints you as My royal priesthood before Me. For in Jesus I have released you from your sins by His blood and made you to be a kingdom, priest unto Me. And you are qualified to receive the gifts of the Spirit.
The Word of Knowledge is the revelation of something that without divine impartation you would not know. When Jesus asked His disciples who they said He was, Peter had a word of knowledge from Me by divine revelation that Jesus was the Messiah and My Son. I reveal Jesus to you and Jesus reveals Me to you.
At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” Luke 10:21-22.
When you call on Me, I answer you and tell you great and mighty things you could not know. Jeremiah 33:3. And that describes the Word of Knowledge.
When the beloved disciple John revealed to all that I am love that was a Word of Knowledge that he was given to share. And when Jesus was speaking with the Samarian woman at the well and told her she had had five husbands and the man she was currently living with was not her husband that was a Word of Knowledge which opened her heart to receive Jesus as the Messiah.
But today there is a knowledge you must have or you will perish in the onslaught of evil the devil is releasing into the earth because he knows his time is very short now. And that is knowledge of your dominion authority. It is time as My prophets and My treasure for you to use it, it is a harbor of safety, perfect protection, and it gives Me access to do great works in the world through you.
But this will be for tomorrow’s Life Lesson for it is time for you to ponder what I have said today to gain all the joy I have set out for you because My Will for each of you is perfect, perfect joy. Yes, it is shalom, the whole pie of life with no piece missing. Jeremiah 29:11.
I love you. Faith, Hope, and Love, you have them all and more in Me.
