By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. 1 John 4:17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I tell you to renew your mind to be transformed so that you can then know My good, pleasing, and perfect Will for your life. Romans 12:1-2. And what do I tell you that is? That you not be conformed to this world but transformed so that you then can be conformed to the image of My Son.
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 purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also preordained to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He preordained (determined ahead of time), He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. Romans 8:28-30.
I am love. And I created you out of Myself in My image and according to My likeness. And My purpose is exactly the same as who I am. Love, pure love, filled with light and truth, which is the light of life. And that is what gave you life and being as well. You were created by love, in love, for love, to fellowship with love, and to be love. And love gives joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. That is the fruit of love, for I am love, Jesus is love and the Holy Spirit is love for we are ONE in three persons of divine love. And you are one with us in spirit and truth. I conceived you in My heart and knew My plans for you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. I had already called you by name and had My precious plans that outnumber the sand of the earth all written out in the book of your life kept in My heart that are forever plans.
You begin as a seed that becomes a tiny infant in the womb, equipped already for every good work that is in your plan. And in Jesus, I did the same for you in all the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form. He became one of you and knows all it means to be human and all it means to be God, the perfect mediator to reconcile us as one again after the separation of sin that brought you below the light line into the realm of darkness. But as at the beginning so it is now: Let there be light. And if you will receive that Light you too will become light.
You too can be a member of His body and grow into the full stature of Christ. He is the exact image of My being and the radiance of My glory and that is how you are to walk as well, doing the good works He did and greater. He joins humanity to divinity and divinity to humanity in one seamless life forever. In Him you fit into Me and in Him I fit into you, one in Spirit, one in purpose, one in love.
How? Christ in you, your hope of glory. And in Him I gave you a gift, the gift of My Spirit, the Holy Spirit, another helper just like Jesus, in you to grow you up to the full stature of maturity in Christ. So what Jesus did, you also will do by My Spirit in you.
And what did Jesus do? He told you more than once: He did not speak on His own initiative but only the Words I gave Him to say, He spoke My Words of eternal life. He always spoke the Word that was appropriate for that moment because He paused to listen and see in the Spirit.
For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:49-50.
And what works did He do? Only those I showed Him in the Spirit.
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.” John 14:8-10.
You too can hear My Words, read My Words, and now I speak to you in My Son. And how can you hear as He did? The same Spirit lives in you.
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. John 14:11-15.
So what He did, you also will do by My Words in your mouth and My Spirit upon and in you.
“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD: “My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from now and forever.” Isaiah 59:21.
I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’” Isaiah 51:16.
You are in Covenant with Me in Jesus and the greater party in a Covenant raises the lower up to the level of the higher by supplying them with access to the resources and treasures of the greater. And one way this is done is the greater one gives the lesser one his name so that suddenly the unknown becomes the known with full access to the things and power of the greater. It is all in the Name. There are Covenant promises and benefits that I promise in My Name. Yahavah Yireh, I look ahead and provide. Yahavah Ropheka, the LORD who heals you. Yahavah Tsidkenu, the LORD your righteousness, Yahavah Shalom, I am peace, and many more magnificent promises that are all “yes” to you in Jesus.
The way you receive from Me is by faith, and faith comes by hearing and hearing My Word. Jesus is My Word from the aleph to the tav and all in between. But there is much more. You, like Jesus, can hear directly from Me by the One Spirit that He poured into you when your were born again in Him and you have a book full of My Words and the Gospels and the book of Acts filled with the Words He spoke and those who followed Him by My Spirit spoke. And I have given you these Words so you can put them in your mouths and receive the promises therein. And you can bless, heal, evangelize, and save others by your Words when you speak My Words as I lead you. You can hear from Me like Jesus did and always have the word of encouragement, exhortation, and edification that is needed to give grace to the hearer, seed to the sower, and bread to the eater.
Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. Colossians 4:5-6.
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. James 1:19-20.
Stop imitating the woman crawling along the ground trying to get hold of tassel on the cloak of Jesus to tap into healing power. There is a great difference now that Jesus has been glorified. He is in you and He has received the promised Holy Spirit from Me and poured Him into your born again heart so that you may walk with Him in newness of life. You can be filled with My fullness and praying with Me as My royal priesthood whom I have called out of darkness into My own marvelous light! You are not seeking someone in whom there is the power, the power is residing in YOU now by My Spirit in and on you and it is resurrection power, giving life to your mortal bodies. You go cast out demons and lay your hands on the sick so that they will recover. Mark 16:17.
Now I want each of you to read Matthew 11:25-30 and pray it as if you were saying it about yourself and your relationship to Me and your invitation to others. As He is so are you in this world.
I love you. Be the bright light in the darkness holding forth and holding fast to My Word. You are the light those in darkness are looking for and you have the Words that people are longing to hear. Not words of complaining, bitterness and death but My Words of joyful thanksgiving, forgiveness, and life which I have made your words if you will take them.
