The Gospel truly is summed up, in one person and in one word! Love(Matt 22:38-40)! Oh boy has Daddy really turned me around with this one wow. Really renewed me and changed me. I want to share with you guys where the Lord has taken me as I believe this will minister to many of you here. I don't say this to be "Right" rather to share in love a revelation that's been revealed to me. I love you guys and I pray the Holy Spirit will help me deliver this with Love, the person. God is love (1 John 4:16), and I've been blessed by getting to know Him more!
It all started when I had this burning desire every time I would see these testimonies of people being prayed for and getting healed. Was like salt gettin poured down my throat and I needed a HUGE drink! At first all I saw was the miracle, time and time again. Then God showed me miracles have nutrients if you will. (Hang with me lol) Every time you experience a miracle it's a revelation of God's love in action. It brings you to repentance. Ok God taught me that repentance isn't this thing you get on your face and say you're sorry 20 times for something and going about your way hoping not to do it again because you're "nothing but a sinner". He was like "Ok I forgave you the first time and the other 19 I have no idea what you're talking about I remember it no more" and began to show me that His blood speaks better things over me than Abel's. My name tag was changed from "Sinner" to "Righteous" the moment I believed, and received. We might experience sin from time to time as we learn to let go, and let God be the potter and not us, but he doesn't call us sinners, but His children. (Romans 8:15-16) and that means He sees us as He saw Jesus. Spotless. We confess our sins to Him and to others to be ministered to in Love and prayed for so the revelation of His righteousness that the Holy Spirit is working in you(Hebrews 13:20-21) is able to be walked out. God is working it in us, we work/walk it out (Philippians 2:12) out of reverence and adoration for Him,...again LOVE.
This is when things started to get really Really good! He told me "A prostitute is refined by Love Himself to become Love (Gen 1:27; 1 John 4:16; Romans 8:19) and be purified to be made ready to be a Bride". You can't be or do something you don't have or know. So when He told Mary when she was accused of adultery to "Go and sin no more" He showed her Love, Mercy. and Grace, and gave her the ability to do it obviously. Oh this might rock your socks off! It did me! You know how he said a three stranded cord is not easily broken?(Ecclesiastes 4:12) Get this, He was already broken for us,...and He gave us a cord that can't be cut. Love, Mercy, and Grace in a person. We can't get away from Him! Why would we want to?! Oh boy He loved me when I was unlovely and calls me His own! Hallelujah!
It gets deeper yet...He's he gate of righteousness and His mercy is renewed every morning, such AMAZING GRACE! (Psalms 118:19-20; Acts 13 38:-39; Lamentations 3:22-23; John 14:6) I thought it was kind of funny, because I got in the word and started seeing things as though I'd seen them the first time popping out everywhere. He then showed me a moment He was excited in the New Testament. He was very pleased. It is impossible to please Him without faith(Hebrews 11:6), and well...just read the first part of John 16:31..."You believe at last!" He exclaimed. What is so important that we believe? As little kids you may have been carefree and sang this song and quoted John 3:16-17 all the time. Jesus Loves Me. It has to be personal because if you were the only one left on the planet He still would have done it for you, poured out His heart and blood to love you for the chance we would turn around and love Him back. As we freely received, we need to freely give (Matt 10:8). As a kid I had peace and joy just soaking in the truth and hearing all the time that Jesus loves me. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17), and everything in the Kingdom is centered around the King(1 John 4:16). So I wanted to know the King more, as more than just my King but as my friend and companion. Then He brought me to (Psalms 118:21-22), and basically wants me to worship Him in spirit and in truth because he became my salvation,...from myself and from the enemy, and make Jesus my "Chief Cornerstone" or First Love. I still pray He'll "Shake me, break me, mold and make me" into His image and to give me a Heart Transplant, a heart for others and for Him and to keep me and preserve me (Sozo-Salvation) and that I have what I ask for (1 John 5:14-15).
I started to ask for things like,...well Him and more of Him less of me. He started showing me He is love. He really kept getting me on 1 John 4:16 real good. I have nothing apart from Him. To abide in Him is to abide in Love. It's a burning compassion for others. You see people and instead of being hurt when they say all matter of things against you, your heart breaks for THEM, and you curse the spirit behind the pain and lack that stained their life in the area they are persecuting you for standing out in. I was all befuddled for a long time over the arise and shine bit (Isaiah 60:1) and wondered what that looked like. Then He made it clear as day,..get up and go love someone. It's called waking up (Ephesians 5:14) to the fact that even if we pray for someone or do something out of love not only is it done but we're walking in Him. We're not being basket heads lol (Matt 5:15).
Then He reinforced His Mercy and Grace through His Love again. In Genesis 12 Abram and Sarai were in egypt and of course she said that she was his sister. Doh! Well God never said anything to Abram about it only inflicted pharaoh and his household. Well God made a covenant with Abram and Sarai and poured His heart out and promised them a son and renamed them Abraham and Sarah. Guess what...in Genesis 20 you see Abraham tell Sarah to lie again that she was his sister. Guess what...again God didn't rebuke them. He went at Abimelech in his dreams and told him he's a dead man! Talk about our Redeemer lives! What Grace! What Mercy! What LOVE! Even before the cross, He poured out His love! Then He took me to see what love is to know who He is. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) Man...and we're getting made into ...that!
Then He showed me in Romans 13:10 that Love fulfills the law...then showed me again... God is Love, so simple front to back Logic God fulfilled the law! He put His Spirit in us and He's working in us (Hebrews 13:20-21) and refining us with His love. He will cause us to walk after Him! (Eze 36:27). When you fall in love with Love Himself, and you start becoming more and more like Him you start fulfilling the law not because you have to, but because you fell in love with Him and you can't help it! It becomes your primary nature instead of second nature! Man, He shows me new things with this everyday and to be honest I feel like every time my mind gets renewed (Romans 12:2) I feel born again all over again! It's humbling because it makes me realize all the more that kids never try to know it all. When God gives them something they have the attitude "This is way more than I could EVER be an expert at, I need help", and in that humility we are teachable and pliable.
He showed me that the "Will of God" is not some big mysterious thing,...Jesus lived it. It was all done in Love. What's mysterious about it to me is,..."wow me?", and the depth of His love overwhelms me again. God is good (Psalms 103; John 10:10),...all the time. The Devil is bad (John 10:10),...all the time. So God doesn't give us illness or let us get them to teach us a lesson. NO WAY! He's life and love! He asked (Luke 11:11-13) if your child asks for bread would you give them a stone? He put the power of Life and Death in our tongues (Proverbs 18:21), do we dare just love and believe? God does the healing, He does everything by His spirit we just go and say "Yes Lord" and love and He will meet us there. When Jesus healed the one blind man who saw men as if trees walking, the man needed another touch. He showed me we need persistance, and perseverance at times.
There will be mountains that don't want to move,...and it will test your faith. Just because your faith is being tested does not mean the very thing that came to steal, kill, or destroy any part of you came from Him or was ordained by Him. See..He's our righteousness. It's like being in His shelter(psalms 91:1-2) in the middle of a lightning storm. When we get out of Love and act in the flesh and become selfish, it's like getting out of the shelter and expecting and hoping not to get struck. And then when we get struck the enemy comes in and says "See God doesn't love you He let you get hurt" and then we blame God for...what wasn't His fault. Oh Lord forgive me! I know I've done it a million times and labled it faith because the "stuff" hit the fan and "endured like a good soldier" if you will and "suffered" for the Kingdom when that wasn't even necessary and tried to "psych" away the fear and problems by yelling scripture at it! Wow God has had such mercy on me! Doesn't mean He won't sovereignly intervene like He did with Abram/Abraham with the whole lying about Sarai/Sarah being his sister! Wow! It's pure GRACE and MERCY and LOVE and I sure don't deserve it! You see Paul in the New Testament progressing to the point "I'm the chief of all sinners". He realized daily more and more he needed Jesus and will ALWAYS be dependent on his Love and Mercy and Grace! Less of him and more of Jesus! As I grow I am more and more thankful for what I have and realize just how far gone I really was,...and it's humbling!
He's still teaching me on this,..but I just simply HAD to share this with you guys because I am still being blessed by this! I hope this helps someone here have the faith to reach out and receive their Healing or Restoration and know that you know that God is good! He is Merciful, Gracious, Beautiful in every way, and will NEVER stop loving you and you can't be separated from Him! He's Love!! (Romans 8:35-39; 1 John 4:16) I hope God's blessed you with this because he's surely blessing me!
