That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Gracious love. I am gracious. I am love. It is My gracious love that saves you from your sins, makes you a new creation in Christ, and raises you up to Me in newness of life to walk with Me in the atmosphere of Heaven even now. And the atmosphere of Heaven is all summed up in two words: gracious love. And everyone there is filled inside and out with My gracious love for they have become that as well. “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9.
It is wonderful, wondrous, and beyond all you can ask or think. It is too big to hold in, it overflows out, as it does from Me. It is the delightful river of life that flows out of My throne the abundance of which you drink, that then overflows from within you in rivers from the center of your being to cover the earth with the knowledge of the glory of gracious love as the waters cover the sea.
Your gracious love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your gracious love, 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 36:5-9.
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37-39.
This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. Acts 2:32-33.
Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Revelation 22:1-2.
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. Revelation 22:17.
This is hidden from the person walking in the flesh with no spiritual insight, but to you who have come up higher I have revealed them through the Holy Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even My deepest depths, which are unfathomable, meaning you can never reach the end of the them for there is no limit of how far you can go in the Spirit for those who are open to My Word and have made it their own mindset.
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2:11-13.
Those who listen to the Spirit are those who have opened to gracious love. In this gracious love, you and all who like you have opened their hearts to Me in truth (like minded with Me), are My forever family and in one another we find delight whether you are in Heaven or on earth.
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose. But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again. Philippians 1:21-26.
You can experience this gracious love, which is the atmosphere of Heaven even now, wherever you are, for you become one body with many members in Christ, each uniquely placed at your time and space in the ages but all of you who believe who are still in the world (though not of the world) are not headed for the grave but are going beyond to the age of eternal day.
There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:3-5.
This must be spiritually discerned, but in Christ, My gracious love has conquered death and grave so that it is no longer in your future. It is in your past, for when Christ died to sin once for all, you who believe in Him also died with Him and in Him, and when I raised Him from the dead to newness of life, I raised you with Him and in Him.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24.
Death, grave, and hell are NO longer in front of you, they are BEHIND you and gracious love has overcome them so that you will NEVER taste death.
Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4.
But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 2:9.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.” John 11:25-26.
Jesus took that judgment and sentence of old, that took place in the Garden of Eden, and went to the dust for you so that you never will.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and You lay me in the dust of death. Psalm 22:15.
The seed coat of your earthly body will be shed but out of it will burst the shoot of the glorious body that bears the beautiful fruit of eternal life. And what is that fruit? What you are already producing now if you are rooted and grounded in Christ, if you are attached as a branch to the vine, if you are filled with the new wine of gracious love in the new wineskin of the new creation in Christ. It is the fruit of the branch on the blooming Vine of My Son, My Word, My life flowing into you, which is the Holy Spirit producing in and through you the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, all as one fruit of gracious love. Galatians 5:22-23. Never stop that flow by stepping into things contrary to gracious love. Be very careful not to lie.
There is no excuse now for the thoughts of evil, darkness, confusion, depression, fear, anxiety, resentment, offense, immorality, and sin, those are behind, you died to sin in Him and as a member of His body you know the thoughts and direction of the head, your mind is above in Christ where I have seated you with Him at My right hand in Heaven, for as His body, you have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.
YOU HAVE THE WORD stay in it day and night and do not permit any other thought, word, or dead to raise its evil head within you so that you can stay in gracious love with Me and the whole family in Heaven and on earth.
Do you now begin to understand this prayer of the Spirit that Paul penned for your edification and application?
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom the 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 sanctified ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. 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 3:14-21.
Filled with My fullness is filled with gracious love. It is a delightful way to live and flow. It brings Heaven wherever you are. It brought it to Paul and all the prisoners in a dark prison at midnight and no one wanted to run out of that place but stayed basking in the atmosphere of gracious love. It is the light of life, gracious love.
Pray this prayer for all the family and do not neglect to gather together in My Word to follow the treasure vein that runs through the entire Bible of gracious love and all I have freely given to those who receive it and become it with, in, and through Me.
Without gracious love life is nothing but painful existence for no purpose, with no future and no hope. With gracious love life is joy unspeakable filled with glory. Pain, grief, burdens, darkness cannot stay in the glory of gracious love. All is light in Me, the light of life. The beauty of existence within Me is beyond all you can ask or think in the flesh, it takes the revelation of the Spirit within your spirit to grasp it.
I love you. Within Me and Me within you and joined to all the family of believers you are full alive, fully in the well-being of shalom—nothing missing, nothing broken, and no one alone. I laid upon Jesus the chastisement that makes you whole—that gives you total shalom as My gift, plan, and purpose for your life, giving you a future and a hope. Jesus is the resurrection and the life, eternal fully alive life, and He is in you by the Spirit of Holiness and that is resurrection power in you, working even now to quicken your mortal body to total well-being in the atmosphere of gracious love, basking in that light night and day, raising you above all that would harm you. Sickness, death, evil, darkness cannot penetrate the light of gracious love. You are safe held in the everlasting arms of gracious love.
“The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; and He drove out the enemy from before you.” Deuteronomy 33:27.
