Boldness in the Day of Judgment
A deep and very real love relationship with God and with one another is the only substance that will bring forth the real Kingdom of God on earth. The same love relationships will sustain us through the severity of the cataclysmic events facing our world. Only walking in a pure love relationship with God in the Spirit will maintain our sanity in times of devastating natural world disorder.
Nothing else can sustain us.
The impressive light and smoke shows accompanying some worship concerts will not keep us going. Even the strong preaching, prophesying, and the exciting manifestations of charismatic conferences will not carry us through the season of major cleansing judgments into the fullness of the kingdom.
My precious brothers and sisters, we do not want to be deceived or ignorant of the times and seasons to which we have come. Western nations including America are experiencing progressively manifesting cleansing judgments from God. Please do not be misled. God is not pouring out angry punishment in any form. There is pain in His heart, as there is in some of ours, to see the devastation of what could have been. For me personally this is both the saddest and the greatest thing that I can even imagine.
Our hearts feel the painful loss of what could have been and the suffering of many. However, our hearts rejoice greatly with what is happening in the purified holy people coming forth in love and power to bring forth the New Jerusalem lifestyle establishing the rule and reign of Christ Jesus in the greater fullness of God’s kingdom from heaven on earth.
For at least three generations the people of the western world have been being trained to turn from God to other gods. All facets of western civilization have been brainwashed through every form of influence, guidance, and leadership to reject God and receive other gods. A powerful coordinated infiltration of humanistic, religious, and secular philosophy of anti-Christ provenance has captivated the minds and hearts of the once God fearing nations. All of us have been infected with this to some level and may not have even been aware of how much it has affected us. There must be a real cleansing of the hearts and lives of God’s people – a turning to seek God with our whole hearts.
God is allowing the hordes of hell to rise up to enact cleansing judgments to turn the hearts of His people back toward Himself and remove all the adulterous works of Babylonian whoredom in His people. Again, God is not pouring out angry punishment. It is in absolute love that God is allowing that which is required to bring forth the mature, holy, pure-hearted sons and daughters of God to establish His love in His kingdom on earth.
God’s kingdom is established and held together by LOVE.
Experiencing the real love of God often begins with a sometimes very painful experience of a devastating life event or events.
Without our realizing it, we may have come to God carrying allegiances to other gods.
Up until this present age, most people have not experienced the Kingdom of God on earth. They may have come to Christ Jesus with a repentant heart and have their sins forgiven by the blood of Christ and be assured of salvation. However, their other gods may still occupy a place in their hearts and lives until they die. In this situation there is no possibility of truly becoming one with God in this life. It simply is not possible for God to fully become one with them while they have other gods. Once they die they are free from their other gods. There is no sin in heaven, and dead people can no longer hold on to their other gods.
Becoming One with God Now in This Life
As we seek intimate relationship with Him in His kingdom our other gods must be cast off or in some way separated from us. This can be a very painful death-like experience but always leads to a rush of the pure holy love of God filling our lives.
Our hearts melt as His love further cleanses and heals us. Our broken and melted hearts, which can no longer be satisfied with the things of this world, are the good soil in which the seed of the Kingdom of God can grow to full fruitfulness of a hundred-fold manifestation. Love consumes us. Our hearts desire to be fully in God and Him in us. His manifest presence in and around us is our only satisfaction in this life. Our entire being lives to experience Him and please Him.
This all-consuming love causes perfect obedience to His every word or desire. Our path leads upward into high and heavenly places in the Spirit realm of the Almighty. There is no need in our lives. Such as we have is perfectly satisfying and there is no burning desire or lust for anything more. Though He establishes us in much wealth to manage for Him, there is no pride or self-elevation in our lives. The call of the world, the pride of life, and lust of the eyes have no place in us.
The whole world and all that is around us could be in chaos, and yet His perfect peace abides within to sustain us. We will be hated and cast off by this world, yet the perfect love of oneness with God and with one another will keep us at all times. To the world’s ungodly people, we are seen as totally insane and fit only to be used or destroyed.
Yet, the rule of God for all the world abides within us and will eventually manifest into the rule of God by His love in all the earth.
The suffering lives of all that moves on the land and in the sea will be healed and return to its original state of God’s perfect creation. Every plant and all that has life upon the land and in the sea or beneath the land and under the sea shall prosper and be in harmony. The full manifestation of the pure love of God will renew the earth. The rocks and sand and all soil will be renewed. The everlasting cycles of life as God created them will again fully function so that each part works together with others to sustain life on the entire planet.
The power of love has come and is manifesting in the earth. God is love and has come through Christ Jesus by the SPIRIT of the living God to save, heal, and restore this world to the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
God’s love through Christ in us by the Holy Spirit is the reason for the boldness and inner peace in the midst of the storms of cleansing judgments upon the earth. Love is the answer, the capstone of our lives, and the preparation for the earth cleansing and kingdom living that is now manifesting.
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 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. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us” 1 John 4:7-19 (emphasis added).
May the God of all peace so fill our hearts and lives that heaven shall reign within and through each of us flooding the world with the pure holy liquid fire of HIS GREAT LOVE.
Love Never Fails,
