Fresh Word.

What really struck me about this word in this season is that there is alot of finger pointing,  condemning and accusation going back and forth in all directions.  The accuser is on the attack in every sphere of influence. 

I feel that the Lord is reminding us not to let our hearts grow hard and our love grow cold. Serpents are cold blooded and hard hearted.  Satan is a serpent. 

Let us keep loving and pray for Justice according to God's will and agenda, and do our part by extending grace, moving from glory to glory, not getting caught up in the negativity circulating in our atmosphere,  so that we show ourselves approved by love.

Heb. 11:6, 12:12,13, 

13:15, 1 Peter 2:5, Job 5:15:17, psalm 25:3, Rom. 5:1-5, 1Cor. 13, Rom.13:8

Phil.4:8, Rev. 2:4, 2:19, Matt 24:1-13

I AM Love.

Dearly beloved, you have asked, you have been seeking, you have knocked. Now I will open the door of revelation with my answer;

This is the word of the LORD to you:

Those who show themselves approved are my disciples. 

My daughter,  you are approved by My spirit in you, which produces fruit that is acceptable in my sight and sweet to taste.  For when we inspect fruit do we not first look at its outward appearance?

Does it smell sweet? Is it bruised or does it appear perfect in my sight?

Those who offer up the sacrifice of praise ,which is the fruit of your lips; giving thanks in my name are mine.

For the substance and tangible solid presence is the fruit of My spirit at work in you. And the evidence is proven true by the fruit my children bear.

The good  and faithful witnesses testify that I AM LOVE! Those who also love I call my own. So now abide in faith, hope and love.  But I AM the greatest of these; yes my daughter I AM love.

GLORY IN MY PRESENCE :

Faith and hope are produced in my bride as she endures all things to come. For she stands justified through her faith in me and she is covered in my grace.

Now she boasts in the glory of my presence, and soon she will shine so bright that the world will not be able to withstand her countenance. 

For her face expresses my glory as Moses on Sinai, and as I appeared to my disciples on that day in Gethsemane.

Glory in my love daughter. Shine bright with the same love that I have loved you.

For there is no greater commandment than this.  In this commandment the law is fulfilled.  

BEWARE:

Beware those whose love has grown cold.  They have not been made perfect in love. They have forsaken the love they had at first and are susceptible to be fooled by false prophets, who preach a type of godliness, but are lacking in love. 

I know you beloved; I know that you are loving more than you did at first. This is the sign of my spirit on you and at work in you.

LOVE NEVER FAILS!

So keep pressing into me. Keep loving fearlessly and guard your heart!

Finally, focus on producing ripe fruit that smells sweet to my nostrils, and is lovely to behold. Seek justice in my courts, love mercy and continue to follow me; not thinking more highly of yourself than others because you have my favor; Forsaking a boastful spirit which is detestable in my nostrils. 

Always error on the side of love, for justice is mine and vengeance also belongs to me!

Fill up your lamp with fresh oil in my presence, I pour it out over you as you shine forth the will of your Father and your bridegroom. Yes my beloved, the oil of my favor makes you shine!

With love,

The Lord began to show me where in the Bible He had spoken saying these two phrases.

I came upon Exodus 24:12; The Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain and stay here and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”  Now of course I didn't think that the Lord was giving me tablets with commandments on them.  But He did say, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here.”

The next scripture that I came upon is Song of Songs 2:10.  Where the Lord said to His beloved, “Arise my darling, my beautiful one, come up with me.” I began to see what is on the heart of our gracious God as a picture of His love and longing for His Church, His precious bride; became ever clearer. 

Mark 6:31 Explains that the disciples of Jesus were so busy with people coming and going to see Jesus that they hadn't even eaten. The Lord said to them, ” Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place.”  But in John 5:40 As Jesus was teaching He pointed out to the people around him that they refused to “Come to him to have life.” 

Many of us would be appalled to hear that from the mouth of our savior.  And yet, we become so busy in our day to day that we forget to “Come to Him” and then we wonder how our day was sidetracked and our time was seemingly not our own.  Now that we have been forced to slow down, I can hear Him more clearly as He whispers to me, “Come up here.” 

and I find the longing in His words compels me to stop and seek His face.

Beloved, He is the bread of life and the living water that we drink.  We must believe in His call to us and run to Him!

  

As I was in His presence I saw doors opening and shutting.  I saw the enemy crouched outside a door and me on the inside of a room on the other side.  Gen 4:7 ..”.But if you do not do right, sin crouches at the door.” I could see that the Lord wanted me to come near to Him to avoid opening the door to sin!  The busier we become in our daily lives the more we can become distracted and that is when the enemy attacks.  

Doors are significant as symbols of both Danger and safety.  Doors can be signs of deliverance or bondage. And are a prominent feature during Passover Celebration. Doors are portals by which the righteous may enter; Psalm 118:19-20 Open for me the gates of the righteous,; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.  This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter. 

In Revelation 3:20 Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door , I will come in and eat with that person and they with me.”

This then is what the Lord spoke to me as I began to write;

As soon as I had read back to myself what He released to me, I clutched my note book close to my heart.  I almost didn't want to share it.  But I knew that as much as is is for me, it is for you also loved ones.   I pray that you receive it today.

With love for all of the saints,

Lisa
