In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
One of the most important aspects of getting to know Me is knowing what I will do in any given situation so you never panic, doubt, or live in fear.
Do not live in fear, little flock, it has pleased your Father to give you the Kingdom. Luke 12:32.
You have access to My Kingdom and everything therein. I supply for all your needs according to My riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Heaven in Christ Jesus. You have a supply of more than enough—all sufficiency for you and an abundance (overflowing and never ceasing, only increasing) for every good work.
To know Me and trust Me, you must know and believe that I cause ALL things to work together for good to those who love Me, to those who are called according to your purpose. You each have a purpose in the Body of Christ that is for the good of all.
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11.
Be humble with one another. Younger people and those under authority should show respect to those in positions of authority. David did this for Saul even though Saul was in the wrong. Then I can promote you and vindicate you. Be humble with respect to your attitude to My Word as well. I tell you to submit to My Word and then you will be able to resist the devil and he must flee. Why? My Word is the truth and when you receive that Word it takes on My power when you speak it with faith. The truth will always take down the lie if you refuse to budge off it no matter how contrary the facts present themselves. You can make the facts line up with the truth if you persevere.
How do you keep yourself from worry? From fear? From anxiety, stress and strife? There is only one way: by knowing Me by what I did for you in Jesus. This will give you the faith that is the victory that overcomes the world.
What do you know from what I did for you in Jesus? You were trapped in a judgment that no one could pay and a sentence of eternal death that was sure to come. But I stepped in with the solution.
- You must know that I cause all things, even things you or others did or do wrong, to all work out for your good once you have opened your heart to My love and have determined to walk with Me.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.
- You must know that I am for you and not against you.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Romans 8:31-34.
- That in My love I sent Jesus to die for your sins even when you had no love for Me.
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Romans 5:6-11.
- There is no condemnation now for you who are in Christ Jesus, you are forgiven.
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4.
- I have justified you.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.
- Jesus makes intercession for you.
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25.
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:11-12.
- My love is there for you no matter what you have done. All you have to do is repent (turn back to Me with an open heart) and come, like the prodigal son.
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. 1 John 4:16.
Nothing you do or anyone else does can separate you from My love. My love is everlasting. I love you with an everlasting love.
The LORD appeared to me from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” Jeremiah 31:3.
You have to receive it into your heart but it is always there for you. My love does not stop because of your actions, sins, words, or failures. My love is constant, unconditional, and unchanging. Just return. Very few of you really understand the parable of the prodigal son and its vast reach into every area of your life.
Jesus paid the ransom to Me once for ALL.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
Your sins and offenses I remember no more, Hebrews 10:17, I just remember Jesus who took your sins and satisfied My justice. You do not go to hell for your sins but for your rejection of the remedy. Your rejection of My love. My love is there for you but if you shut it out of your heart, you shut yourself out of Heaven.
“I do not receive glory from men; but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.” John 5:41-42.
The problem is not whether you love Me or not—it is whether you know I love you and you receive that and go with Me or refuse to accept it and shut My love out of your heart. If you do not know and believe in My love for you, you die in your own sins. The prodigal son stayed out of the Father’s house until he came to his right mind.
If you beg and plead with Me to forgive you and think that I am angry with you or have shut you out from Me because of what you have done, you do not understand what I have done for you in Christ Jesus. If you do understand you will rejoice as you repent, return, and I restore you better than before and fill you with My Spirit so you can live righteously.
The Spirit, the water and the blood testify that you have eternal life. The blood of Jesus speaks to you and to Me, interceding on your behalf, that you are redeemed and released from your sins. The water of baptism and regeneration in My Word by the Holy Spirit testify to you and Me that you are a new creation in Christ. And the love I have poured into your heart by the gift of the Holy Spirit in you and on you who believe in My Son and are born again from above testifies to Jesus and His finished work and witnesses with your spirit that you are My child and a joint heir of all I have with Jesus.
It is not you who loved Me first. It is not you who chose Me first. It is I who loved you and chose you and made it all possible through the life, sufferings, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
We love, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19.
You are with Me always and everything I have is yours. All you have to do is receive it with love.
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10.
You live forever because He lives forever. Do you see? When I raised Him from the dead it meant the sins were gone and justice had been done and I had been paid in full. And it was all credited to your account. Justified. And that is why you must believe in your heart I raised Him from the dead and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord to be saved. All paid and received by you and by Me. It is finished. No further payment from you or from Him is required. He did more than enough and He did it once for all.
I love you forever. There is nothing you can do to stop Me from loving you. Won’t you come to Me and open your heart to receive? My door is always open to you, Jesus is the door, it is your door that you need to check on. Remember bitter roots can close your door to Me. But always remember, I am present as your helper, you do not need to do anything alone.
Our mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide. You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections. Now in a like exchange—I speak as to children—open wide to us also. 2 Corinthians 6:11-13.
“I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:10.
I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for Your commandments. Psalm 119:131.
I shall run the way of Your commandments, for You will enlarge my heart. Psalm 119:32.
