There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4-6.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I want to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived and I make it very simple. There is only one way, one God, one thing necessary, one thing to do above all things, one Savior, one life to live, one Father, one Teacher, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one Spirit. And there is only one of you. All are unique and yet we are all one in Me, one body and one church with many members but making a cohesive whole.
And I make it very organized for you, I tell you what to choose in the daily decisions of life, i.e., to choose words of life and not death, to choose words of blessing and not cursing, to choose to speak words that edify and give grace to those who hear (even to yourself) and not words that are rude, bitter, offensive, immoral, harsh, unforgiving, demeaning, complaining, grumbling, gossiping, or that lead people into sin, especially those that would mislead children and cause them to think sinful activities are good. I tell you to tell the truth and never to lie.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days. Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
Let no 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 of God, 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 God in Christ also has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:29-32.
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:12-13.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1.
But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and allthat remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. James 1:19-21.
But 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 5:3-4.
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain. Philippians 2:14-16.
But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all. Colossians 3:8-11.
I tell you what your priorities should be, what to seek first (the Kingdom and the truth in My Word) and what to reject (deceit and darkness and lies). How to organize your day by seeking Me early in prayer and referring things to Me constantly throughout your busy day. And I tell you the three things that keep you within My Will and in fellowship with Me (rejoice in Me always, pray without ceasing, and give constant thanks).
I even tell you what to eat and what not to eat to stay healthy, both spiritually (Joshua 1:8, John 6:53-58) and physically. Deuteronomy 14:1-21; Deuteronomy 8:7-8.
I tell you what to do with the income you make so that I can open the windows of Heaven to you and keep the destroyer away from you, your family, and your finances (tithes and give offerings, Malachi 3:10-11).
I tell you how to be made righteous with My righteousness and how to be saved. 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:8-10. I tell you how to live the abundant life that is life indeed, how to walk in newness of life, and how to renew your mind to think the high thoughts I think that give righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
I tell you how to live (by faith) and how to die (in faith). I tell you how to relate to other people (golden rule, love neighbor as yourself) and how to relate to Me. (love with all your heart).
I have given you all you need for life and godliness. 2 Peter 1:3-4. My magnificent promises are all “yes” to you in Jesus and told you how to receive them. 2 Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 4:16.
I have given you the Holy Spirit within you as My gift to you who have faith in Jesus and have been born again from above by My Word and poured My love in your heart so you can walk in newness of life. And if you will listen to His inner witness with your spirit and yield to His guidance I can supply all your needs, lead you in the path of good deeds I prepared for you in advance, and give you the solutions to all the challenges and duties that you face each day.
I have shown you how to deal with Satan, the accuser of the brethren, the liar and father of lies, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, you simply tread on him and take him down every time by answering his lies with the truth of My Word that refutes his accusations and lies and casting him out in Jesus’ Name, and then casting all your cares on Me, refusing to let your heart be anxious or afraid, and receiving your miracle and peace beyond understanding in thanksgiving and praise until the promise in the truth of My Word manifests from the spiritual realm to the physical realm.
Worldly people say there are many paths to “God,” or to your ultimate destination, but generally what they are meaning by that is not true. They mean that all religions or ways of believing are personal and are ultimately the same so long as you are a “good” person.
While it is true that you each have unique assignments there is only one body of which all of you who believe are members and you are working together as one cohesive whole for the good of all with one head over all giving the one purpose and ultimate direction to all the members. You who are in the body of Christ have the mind of Christ, which is wisdom and is the anointing.
Whether people choose to acknowledge Me or not does change the truth that I am the one who made you and to whom you ultimately must give an accounting of your life in the flesh. All life comes out of My life, you live because I live, and you are all part of the continuum of life of which I am the center. How close to the center and like Me or how far from the center and unlike Me you decide to be is up to you. You can go to the outer darkness or stay in the light of the center of the continuum. My Son speaks of both.
“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” Matthew 22:11-13.
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12.
I have rescued you from the realm of darkness and brought you into My own marvelous light. Choose to walk in the light as I am in the light and you will stay in the center.
I am the only one who planned you, gave you life and breath and being, and I am the one who loves you, forgives you, saves you, honors you, heals you, blesses you, provides all things for you, knows all things, and see all things. And the more you open your heart to Me the more I can do for you and with you. The more you turn your heart to Me the more light I can shine in.
For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6.
I make it very simple to come to Me and to possess all things in Me. There is just one choice and one way. And it is the way of love, pure, precious, unadulterated love. And My love is tangible in My Word, for I am love and I am My Word, just as the expression of who you are within ultimately manifests in your words, and My Word is living and working, so much so, My Word, which is love, light, and life, took flesh as one like you to show you the way, the truth, and the life.
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:5-6.
In seeing Him, you see Me. We are ONE. So there is your one again. It is not confusing.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30.
What does it mean to believe in Jesus? You should want to know the answer to that because I tell you that I so loved the world that I gave you the gift of Jesus so that all who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
When you believe in Jesus, you believe I have made you holy, blameless and beyond reproach before Me and given you eternal life. You believe and receive My Kingdom. You agree with Me that I put all your sins, ills, pains, and guilt upon Him as if they were His and He paid your judgment (for love is just) and satisfied your sentence for sin, so that in Him all your sins are no longer yours and I remember them no more for in Him you have been justified and cleansed. When you believe in Jesus you believe you will rise from your grave and have a new glorified body and reign with Me forever. When you believe in Jesus death has no power over you.
Why should you seek Jesus? To know love without limits. To live in light with no darkness. To have eternal life in a Kingdom beyond all you can ask or imagine beginning now.
When you have believed in your heart that I raised Jesus from the dead and confessed Him as Lord, you know Him who is love, you know Him who is Light, and you are a joint heir with Him and owner of the Kingdom with Me.
I love you and I have made your life very simple if you want to walk it with Me. One way is simple, just stay on it and you will never go astray.
