The following word/visitation was taken from “A Journey From The Beginning (Fear) To The End (Perfect Love)” by Mitt Jeffords.
The Seven Characteristics/Seals of God’s Perfect Love
The First Seal: The Love that Blesses
Then later that morning, while we were praying and worshipping, the Lord said, “Did you see me in Lakeland. I am the Love that blesses all. I am the love that blesses with my faithfulness. I am the love that blesses the sinner and the righteous. I am the love that blesses those who love you and those who curse you. I am the love that speaks blessings and in whom there is no cursing. I am the love that blesses you with deliverances from all evil. I am the love that blesses the sinner with mercy and grace. I am the love that blesses with salvation. I am the love that blesses with you with forgiveness and repentance. I am the love that blesses the lost with a way. I am the love that blesses sick with healing. I am the love that blesses with restoration. I am the love that blesses the blind with sight. I am the love that blesses the hopeless with hope. I am the love that blesses the weak with strength and might. I am the love that blesses you with all that you need. I am the love that blesses the dead with life. I am the love that blesses you with abundant life because abundant life cannot exist without my love. I am the love that blesses your heart with change and your mind with transformation. I bless because I am love, and love only blesses. I am the love that blesses without end because there is no end to the love that I have for you. Did you see me? Did you not see many blessed? I AM; and as I AM, so shall you be. I AM the LOVE that BLESSES. If you desire to be as I AM, then praise me because your new identity is I AM.
The Second Seal: The Love that Grieves
I awoke a couple of days later, and as I laid there in bed, I was suddenly overcome with grief. I knew instantly that this grief had to be from the Lord because I had been so filled with joy and excitement because of the revelations that we were receiving. I was clueless as to why this grief came upon me, and I had no explanation for it. As I considered what the Lord may be trying to show me, I then realized that this was not a grief of sadness, or a grief of failure, or a grief of disappointment, or a grief of some personal loss, but rather it was a grief of separation. It was like the grief of separation that one experiences when he or she is separated from one who they greatly love. It was like the grief that a loving wife would experience if her beloved husband went on a long extended journey. I then perceived that the Lord had been experiencing this grief for all men since the daily communion and fellowship had been broken because of Adam and Eve’s transgression. God created man for the purpose of fellowship and communion with all. When Adam and Eve fell, then came in the darkness of sin that came in to blind the hearts and minds of men so that the great love that God had for them would be hidden from their eyes, their hearts, and their minds. The darkness brought with it the enmity of unbelief, distrust, rebellion, fears, unfaithfulness, doubts, ignorance, and the pride that all work together to keep men from drawing near to the God who had created them; or rather, from the Love that created them. I then began to realize that Father was allowing for me to experience the grief that his love grieves for the object of his affection: man who he created.
Genesis 6:6 NKJ “And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”
I Timothy 2:3,4 NASB “This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (the truth that Father loves them).”
Later on that morning, the Lord brought into the understanding that there was much more to this grief than the grief that is for those who are alienated and separated from God because of their ignorance of him. I then began to experience a grief for all those who the Lord has called, who are still under the blood of Christ, who praise him with their lips and honor him with their mouths, but they have not yet crucified the enmity that keeps their hearts from drawing near and dear to Father’s heart. The Lord then let me understand that the grief that his love experiences for these is like that which a man would feel when he is greatly in love with a woman, but the object of his affection treats him as though he does not even exist in her world. Though he continually beseeches the object of his affection, desiring for her to prove that the love he has for her is true, she refuses to hear. Though he asks for her to prove his love by asking for him to open the windows of heaven so that he can overflow her with blessings, her lips remain quiet. Though he beseeches his beloved to prove his love by asking for him to show her great and mighty things that she does not know about him, she turns away. He beseeches his beloved to draw near and come into the secret place with him, but she instead shuns him and treats his intimacy as though it is some infectious disease. He has also beseeched his beloved to cast all of her cares, and her worries, and her troubles upon him, but she does not believe on his love to help her. He calls out repeatedly to her, but she has hardened her heart towards him because she does not understand or know the height, or the depth, or the width, or the breadth of the love that he has for her. Father is grieved for all of these because through their hardness, he is not able to overflow them with the blessings of his love. God is love, and if there is no love in the relationship, then there is no relationship.
Ephesians 4:30 NKJ “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
I then perceived that the Lord was grieved for so many of these because they had chosen to believe the lies Of Satan that always bear false witness of Father’s love, his affection, and his faithfulness. They chose to believe those counsels that come from the darkness that say such things as: “You do not measure up for his love; You have failed God; Surely God loves them, but he does not love you; You have disappointed God; You are too much of a sinner to receive any of Father’s love; God has forsaken and abandoned you; You are not worthy of God’s love; God is going to reject you; You are impossible for even God to love; God may help others but he will not help you; God will not hear you.” These are just a few of the lies that the enmity speaks to keep the hearts of the ignorant from drawing close to God because Satan knows that those who draw close to God are those who are going to see the truth about his love, his affection, and his faithfulness. It is when any one of these lies are believed that Father is grieved because that is all that it takes is for one lie to be believed that will lead a man to depart from God. I felt that Father is grieved because for their belief of such like lies that lead them to forsake the relationship of his love. Lies! Lies! lies!
Psalm 95:10 NKJ For forty years I was grieved with that generation and said, “It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.”
Just when I thought that I had experienced all that which Father’s love grieves for, he opened the eyes of my heart to see one last grief. This last grief was the grief that a father would feel when sees that his son is heading down a dangerous path. Though he gives his son really good counsel that would help keep him safe, he sees that his son is not paying any attention to any of his words. He then grieves when all communication between him and his son ceases (his son quits praying). As I was considering this grief, and how I have actually experienced this grief with my own children, the Lord quickened to me that this is the grief that the father experienced in the story of the prodigal son. Then the Lord showed me that in all of these different ways that his love grieves for us, he is also hoping that his grief will turn to joy when his sons repent and return into the arms of his love.
Luke 15:17-24 NIV “When he came to his senses, he said, “How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.” So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. “The son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” But the father said to his servants, “Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” So they began to celebrate.”
He is our God, our Lord, our King, and he is also our Creator and Maker, our heavenly Father, and our husband; and his love desires for us to allow for him to show us the love that our God, our Lord, our King, and our Father, and our husband desires to bless us with so that we might know that we have a loving God, a loving Lord, a loving King, a loving Creator, a loving Maker, a loving Father, and a loving husband who desires to continually bless each one of us as the object of his affection; an affection that blesses us with blessings that go far, far beyond that which we are able to think or to ask of him; for his love towards us is without boundaries and limitations. Just as any Father, he is grieved for his son when he sees that he has no heart for him. Then the Lord said, “I AM. I AM the love that blesses, and I AM the love that grieves when my love is not able to bless. As I AM, so shall you be. Praise me because your new identity is I AM.”
The Third Seal: The Love that Forgives
Again, a couple of days later, I was praying in the morning when the Lord gave me this vision to me: I saw a set of scales or balances just like the ones you see that are used as symbols for justice; like in our courtrooms. Then, in this vision, I saw every transgression, or sin, or offense that that was committed against Jesus in the last 48 hours of his life. After seeing all of these transgressions, sins and offenses, I again saw this set of scales. While I was wondering why the Lord was showing these scales to me, I suddenly saw the transgression, or the sin, or the offense placed on the left side of the scale. Of, course, the scale immediately dropped all the way down on that left side. But then I witnessed the word “Forgiveness” being place on the right side of the scale, which in turn perfectly balanced the scales out. I witnessed all these transgressions, sins, and offenses being put on the left side of the scale, on at time in the following manner.
He was betrayed…………………and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
His disciples forsook him………..and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
His disciples denied him…………and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was hated and despised……..and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
False witnesses testified
against him………………………..and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was accused and
condemned……………………….and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
The people of God chose a
murderer rather than him……….and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was mocked and scorned……and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was stripped and
humiliated………………………..and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was beaten and
scourged………………………….and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was paraded through
the streets as a criminal………….and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
He was crucified and killed……..and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
Then I saw all of these sins,
offenses, and transgressions
all piled together on one side
of the scales………………………and the justice that balanced the scales was forgiveness.
While the Lord was experiencing this vision to me, the Lord actually allowed for me to feel in my spirit the pain of each one of these transgressions, or sins, or offenses; and each one of them was very hurtful in my spirit. But the moment that I saw “Forgiveness” appear on the right side of the scales, all of the hurt and the pain within me completely disappeared. I then actually heard Jesus say, “Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing”. After a few moments, I again heard Jesus speak as though he was answering someone, and he said, “What transgression? What sin? What offense?” He was answering as though none of the transgressions, or sins, or offenses ever occurred, like none of these instances existed any longer in his thoughts.
Many times in my walk I have heard the phrase said, “Jesus paid the price”; and without every really hearing anyone expound on it, I just always thought that the price that was paid was the blood that Jesus shed for us. And surely, it is written that his blood “covers” our sins. But what I was experiencing in my spirit in this matter was something that was far greater than just having our transgressions, our sins, and our offenses covered by his blood, but rather they were all being completely forgotten, as though they never even occurred. This was confirming for me that which the Lord had previously taught me concerning the way that his love forgives; and that is, when he “forgives” a transgression, or a sin, or an offense, they are remembered no more; completely forgotten forever, as though it never happened. The Lord had begun to teach me this when I had asked for him to teach me how he wanted me to “forgive me of my sins as I forgive the sins of those who had sinned against me (Lord’s prayer”). The Lord had asked me then, “Do you want me to remember your sins?” And of course I answered “No”; and the Lord then said, “Well then forgive and forget the sins of those who sin against you, and I will do the same for you.” I answered and asked the Lord how such a thing could be done, seeing that when someone sins against me, it hurts, or it offends, or it wounds my heart. The Lord then said, “Ask for my Spirit; because as I have told you, only my Spirit is able to perform my words.” So I did.
Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit your work unto the Lord, and your thoughts shall be established.”
Later on that morning, when we had come together for our daily prayer and worship meeting, I shared with the brethren the vision that Lord had just given to me; and that the Lord ended up that vision by saying, “I AM the love that forgives”. As soon as I finished testifying of this vision, the Lord plainly spoke to one of my brethren there and said, “The justice of the Lord is forgiveness”. After she shared this word with us, it took a few moments before these words were quickened within me. I could I think about in that moment was the vision that I had just received where no matter what the sin or the offense was that was committed against Jesus, I saw that there was always the same sentence of words that completely balanced the scales: “The justice that balanced the scales was Forgiveness.” Immediately the Lord confirmed this for me when the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which is written in I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us…” Obviously, that which the Lord accounts for justice has no agreement with the justice that was rendered under the old covenant: “And eye for an eye.” It was here that I really began to realize just how much more powerful the love of God is than even my own imaginations of what I thought how powerful the love of God is.
Matthew 18:21-31 NKJ “21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, “Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, “Pay me what you owe!” So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him saying, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, “You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?” And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
We will were still praying and worshipping that morning when the Spirit of the Lord began to prophesy to me saying, “The Lord has now showed you what is good and that which he requires of you, that you do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with the your God”. As soon as she finished speaking this word, all of us that were there recognized this word as a word that is also written in Micah 6:8. This verse then confirmed for us that the man who walks justly is the man who forgives all those who transgress against him, who sin against him, as well as all those who offend him. Again, I could not help but to think of how contrary the Spirit of the Lord is to the flesh, seeing that the flesh is only able to see the scales of justice balanced when one extracts and “eye for an eye”, or “evil for evil”.
I Peter 3:8-10 NASB “To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.”
Romans 12:17,18 NKJ “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
As I enquired of the Lord to show me more about what he meant by “doing justly”, he led me to that which is written in Jeremiah 5:1 ASV “Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, and see if you can find a man; if there be any there who does justly, and seeks the truth, and I will pardon the city.” Pardon the city? One man who does justly? One man whose heart has been so filled with the forgiveness of Father’s love that God promises to pardon every inhabitant in that city, no matter what wickedness they may have done? I then realized that I really did not understand this awesome love of God that is able to birth this manner of forgiveness. There is absolutely no way that the natural mind can comprehend how the Lord is able to account forgiveness to be the only justice that should be meted out for all transgressions, all sins, and all offenses. I was now more in awe than any time in my walk of the words that Jesus spoke on the cross, “Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing.” I now understood that when Jesus spoke these words, he just executed justice for all of the transgressions, all of the sins, and all of the offenses that had been committed against him. Jesus came to save us from our sins through forgiveness and grace, not to call down the fires of wrath upon those who transgress, or sin, or that offend. If justice came through wrath, then surely Jesus on that cross had every human reason to call fire down. Truly, mercy does triumph over judgment. No wonder it was not in Jesus’ heart to accuse or condemn that woman who was caught in the act of adultery, for Jesus came to show us the justice of Father’s love that annuls the justice that lusts for blood. If one man that does justly is able to win a city, then how much more shall the sons of God win when the glory of God arises upon them in the perfection of Father’s love?
Then the Lord said, “I AM. I AM the love that forgives. My love is the justice that forgives the transgressor, the sinner, and the offender. I Am the love that does not remember. Let he who has no sin cast the first stone; there is no sin in love, and love does not cast stones. As I AM, so shall my Sons Be. Praise me because your new identity is I AM.”
The Fourth Seal: The Love that Gives.
Again, a few days after the Lord revealed to us what the third seal was, I awoke to hear the Lord say, “I AM the love that gives.” My first thought was that he was speaking to us about giving to all of those around us who had a need, whether it be money, or food, or some kind of provision. But then the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which is written in James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights…” The Lord then allowed for me to understand that this love of his that gives is the love that only gives those gifts that have come down to us from above. This is also that love that freely gives all things to any and all that are willing to receive these spiritual gifts from above. Obviously, this love would also gladly give whatever it possesses to those who might lack what they have received.
Romans 1:11 NKJ “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established.”
Ephesians 4:7-8 NKJ “But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
Acts 8:14-17 NKJ “Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.”
While I was mediating and considering this love that gives, the Spirit of the Lord came to me and quickened three verses to confirm for me that this love, the fourth seal of his love indeed gives only spiritual gifts from above.
Luke 12:32 NKJ “Do not be afraid little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give to you the kingdom.”
Matthew 10:7,8 “As you go, preach saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons; freely you have received, freely give.”
Acts 3:2-8 NIV “Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.”
Then the Lord quickened to me that which is written in Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” What is coming from above but that which Father delights in giving to all those who will receive him, his kingdom; and when his kingdom comes, then the will of the King will be done on earth, just as it is done in heaven. Then the Lord reminded me of that which he spoke to me in the “Valley of Megiddo” (See chapter 13) vision where he said, “I am love; my will is to love and to be loved. My will is not separate from the love that dwells in my heart. I Am love. I am the love that gives, and gives, and gives because that is what love desires to do. Those who have sought for my kingdom, I shall fill them with my love; and they shall love and be loved, now and forever”.
Then the Lord said, “I AM that which I am; I AM Love. I AM the only true reality. My love is the only true reality. Without my love, there is no reality, only illusions of temporary things that seem like reality. I am eternal, and all things that are of me are eternal. Every good gift that comes from above is real, and it is eternal. I have given to you my son Jesus for the purpose of changing you into my image; into the image of the eternal one. I AM, and as I AM, so shall You Be. I AM love; and I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my love. I AM wisdom; I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my wisdom. I AM everlasting life; I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of everlasting life. I AM goodness; I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my goodness. I AM the truth; I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my truth. I AM mercy and forgiveness; and I give to you Jesus who is the spirit of mercy and forgiveness. I AM peace; and I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my peace. I AM the light of life; and I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my light. I love judgment and righteousness, and I give to you Jesus who is the spirit of judgment and righteousness. I have power and might; and I give to you Jesus who is the Spirit of my power and might. I AM real and all things that are of me are real, and I give to you Jesus who is real and who is all things of me. As I AM, so shall You Be. It is as it is written, that I will not give my glory to another, but I will give to you Jesus who is my glory. I AM is coming to be glorified in you. Freely you shall receive, freely give. In Jesus, I have given myself completely and totally to you, but are you willing to give yourself completely and totally to me so that I may glorify myself in you? Remember, it is your heavenly Father’s desire to raise up his sons to be just like him.
I increased the faith in the apostle Paul so that he could move mountains; I gave him understanding of all the mysteries of God; I allowed for him to speak with the tongue of angels; and I also gave him a taste of my perfect love. When Paul tasted my love, that which is real and eternal, then he understood that only my love gives purpose and meaning to life. It was then that Paul was able to clearly see the vanity, or rather, the nothingness of his own life that was apart from my love. Did he not experience that having all faith, understanding all mysteries, and speaking with the tongues of angels was meaningless without my love? Have I not told you that what is coming is greater than anything that you can imagine? Just as I allowed for Paul to taste of my love, so also have I allowed for you to taste of my love. Was not that which you experienced just as that which Paul experienced, seeing that you also saw the vanity and the nothingness of all that which is alienated and separated from my love? Will you freely give of the love that I am desirous to give to you?
I AM love. My love is existent. Everything apart from my love is nothing and nonexistent. I AM real and eternal. Do not be troubled at the presence of vanity and nothingness, for I have given to each one of you the love of my grace; and my grace is the umbilical cord that keeps you joined to my love; joined to the life that is real, existent, and eternal. I have given to you the grace of my love, will you give unto others? My grace has allowed for me to love you even when you have not loved me, or believed on me, or been obedient to me, or trusted me, or followed after me. Even the prodigal son, in all of his wildness and disobedience, was still attached to me by the umbilical cord of the grace of my love. When he returned to me, my love did not chastise him, nor was my love disappointed with him, and neither did my love belittle him, but my love threw him a grand feast as I loved him and he loved me. By the eternal grace of my love, I am able to call that which is non-existent, vain, and nothing to be existent, the real, and true. The grace of my love is sufficient for you. Will you give a feast to the dead and the lost on my behalf when they return to me?
Is the grace of my love sufficient for you? You cannot out give me because I am the love that gives. Give, give, give, so that more, more, more can be given to you.
Do you judge others by what you see, or do you judge them by the grace of my love? Do you judge others according to the illusions of vanity and the non-existent, or do you judge others with that which is real and true? Have you not read? Have you not seen how the religious hypocrites judged the woman caught in the act of adultery with the illusions of vanity and that which is non-existent? Have you not heard and seen how I judged this same woman with that which is real, and true, and eternal: the grace of my Father’s love? Again, I love all men, but only those who believe on my son Jesus Christ will be able to receive that which is real, and true, and eternal. If you freely give to me all that which is vain, nonexistent, and nothing, then I will freely give to you my love, that which is real, eternal, and true.
My love gives life. I Am Life. I Am the Bread of Life. I Am the Water of Life. I Am the Light of Life. I Am the Words of Life. I Am the River of Life. I Am the Tree of life. I Am the Resurrection of Life. The first born Adam was a living being…The second man is the Lord from heaven who gives my bread, my water, my light, my words, my river, the fruits from my tree, and the resurrection power for life freely to all. My love freely gives all that I AM; for I AM that which comes from above. It is more blessed to give, than to receive. My sons shall go forth freely blessing with that which comes from above. Every good and perfect gift of my love freely gives life to all who will receive it. I AM love. I AM life. AM I the love of your life? I AM the life that is freely given to all who desire to be like me. I have given you my word, will you receive it so that you may become one with me? In the kingdom of love, the beloved and the loved are all one; and one possesses all, and freely gives all of that which it possesses. I am the love that never thinks of self because my beloved are the object of my affection, and I give them all. I AM freely gives I AM because love freely gives all, and I Am the love that is eternal and real; and I give eternity and reality. I AM the love that gives; and as I AM, so shall You Be. Praise me for your new identity is I AM.
The Fifth Seal: The love that Cares
Again, just a few days after the Lord revealed the love that gives, I had just woken up and was lying in bed meditating on all that the Lord had revealed when suddenly the Lord appeared at the foot of my bed dressed in a shepherd’s outfit. I was waiting for him to say something but he said nothing. At first, I did not think much at all about the fact that he was dressed as a Shepherd. But then all of sudden, with just a small shake, he completely changed, and He was now standing before me dressed in the garment of Savior. I do not know how I knew that the garment he had on was the garment that a Savior would wear, but I just knew. Then after a few moments, he completely changed again, and this time he was clothed as a Physician. Still, he said nothing. This went on and on for several minutes, and whatever he changed himself into, he would continue in that clothing and appearance for about 30 seconds before he would change again. Each time that he changed, I could immediately discern that which he had become. I saw him change into all of the things that follow:
A Shepherd
A Savior
A Physician
A High Priest
A Protector
A Helper
A Judge
A Provider
A Minister
A Messiah
A Redeemer
A Lover
A Father
A Healer
A Teacher
A Comforter
It is impossible for me describe how I knew what he was by the clothing that he had changed himself into, but each time that he appeared, I always knew exactly what he had become. He went through all of these changes, and still he never uttered a word to me. So I was just lying in my bed trying to figure out why the Lord was appearing before me in so many different fashions. Then the Lord startled me when he said. “I AM the love that cares. Because of the great care that my love has for you and for all men, I have made myself to be all of these things for you as you have need of these things. Understand and know that I only made myself to be these things in this earthy realm because I am not needed to be any of these things in the heavenly realm. The care of the love that I have for each one of you allows me to make myself to be all things for you. Though I AM all of these things, I can only exist as these things for those who will believe on me to be all of these things for them. The only way that you can know the depth, and the width, and length, and the breadth of the care of my love for you is for you allow for me to be all of these things for you. The more you believe on me to be these things for you, the more you will call upon my name according to the need that you have of me. There are many that call me Lord, but they do not believe to call on me to be any of these things for them. This is that same unbelief that grieves my heart because it does not allow for my love to care for them.”
Ephesians 1:22,23 “And he has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.”
As soon as the Lord quit speaking these words to me, the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which is written in Mark 4:36-40 “And when they had sent the multitude away, they took Jesus into the ship; and there were also with them other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And Jesus was in the back part of the ship asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him saying, “Master,do you not care that we are perishing? And Jesus arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still“. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith (in the care of his love)?” Then the Spirit quickened to me that which his written in I Peter 5:6,7 “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God so that he may exalt you in due time, casting all of your cares on him because he cares for you.” I then realized in that moment how lacking I had been in casting all of my cares upon him because I had not considered before that he had made himself to be all of these things just so that I could cast all of the cares upon him. I then also realized that we actually deny Jesus when we try to be our own shepherd, or provider, or savior, or physician, or deliverer, or any of these other things that I saw him appear as before me. How else could we prove the care of his love unless we actually started casting all of our cares upon him?
I was still meditating on what I had just seen and heard when the Lord spoke to me and said, “Fill in the blank: “Lord, ____ me!” I was a little taken back at first, but then I understood what the Lord meant by asking this question of me. It goes as follows: If I (or you) were in a situation or circumstance where I felt like my life was being swamped out with the troubles of this life, then I would fill in the blank by saying, “Lord, save me!” If I found myself full of confusion, not knowing what to do or what to believe, then I would call out asking, “Lord, lead (shepherd) me!” If I found myself being attacked in the imaginations of my thoughts with counsels seeking to ensnare with doubt, or fear, or unbelief, then I would call out and say, “Lord, deliver me!” If I was troubled, then “Lord, comfort me”. If I am reading the scriptures then, “Lord, teach me”. If I saw sin within me then, “Lord, forgive and cleanse me (High Priest)”. If I needed help of any kind, then “Lord, help me”. If I found myself being tempted to judge another then, “Lord, redeem me”. If I needed counsel, “Lord, Father me”. If I am feeling unloved, or worthless, or dead, or hopeless, or vain, then, “Lord, minister life to me”. I was awed by all of these things that his love has made himself to be for everyone of us, and I was ashamed that I had not surrendered my heart into the care of his love by calling upon him when one of these cares arose in my life.
Each one of us is a precious soul before the Lord, and unless we humble our hearts and prove the care of his love, then it will be impossible for any of us to know or to believe just how great his great love is for us. One thing is for sure, and that is if we do not believe that our heavenly Father has made Jesus to be all of these things for us, then he will surely not be any of these things for us. Who is willing to humble his heart and surrender his life into the care of Father’s love? The church in Laodicea, having been deceived with false doctrines and by their own pride said, “We do not have any need for Father’s care.”
Obadiah 3 NIV “The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
Then the Lord said, “I AM. I AM the love that cares. As I AM so shall You Be. Praise me for your new identity is I AM.”
The Sixth Seal: The Love that Reveals
Mark 2:22 Jesus said, “There is nothing that is hid which shall not be manifested, and neither is there anything that is kept secret that shall not come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.”
Revelation 1:1 NIV “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place…”
Amos 3:7 NIV “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.”
Not long after, we were again praying one morning in our fellowship when the Lord spoke to us and said, “I AM the love that reveals all things.” At first none of us were able to comprehend just what relation this word had to do with the perfect love of God. Then the Lord began to speak saying, “I AM the love that reveals all of the illusions of Satan’s lies. I AM the reality of love that reveals the illusions. I AM the love that reveals all of the lies that have been formed to appear as the truth. I AM the love that exposes the hypocrisy that appears as righteousness. I AM the love that reveals the false ways that seem right. I AM the revelation of love that exposes the evil that appears as good, and the good that appears as evil.
I AM the love that comes to reveal all that which the darkness works to keep hidden. The darkness always labors to keep itself hidden in the darkness because darkness is only able to inhabit the darkness. I AM the light where there is no darkness. Where there is no light there is only blindness. I AM the light that can only dwell in the light. I AM the love that brings into the light all of the works of darkness; for the darkness works to keep hidden all truth about the love of God. I AM the light of God’s love that destroys the darkness because darkness cannot dwell in the light. I AM that light that is come to reveal the perfect love of God. I AM the revelation that reveals that God so loves this world that he has not given up on it, and neither has he given it up.
I AM the love that reveals that God is real and true. I AM the love that reveals that God is worthy to be believed on and trusted in. I AM the love that reveals that there are no boundaries that are able to contain the love of God. I AM the love that reveals that there are no limits to the grace, the compassion, the forgiveness, and the mercy that flows out of Father’s love. I AM he who has come to reveal that you are “The One; you are “The One” that Father loves.
I AM the love that reveals that God is faithful to the end. I AM the Alpha and the Omega. I am the apocalypse (revelation) that brings an end to all darkness. I am the apocalypse that brings an end to all that which the darkness has worked to hide: the love that God has for all of his creation. I am the beginning and the end. As I am so, shall You Be. You shall be the apocalypse. Arise shine, for your light is come and the glory of God is rising upon you. Arise, shine, for I AM is come to be revealed in you to bring total apocalypse upon the darkness that blinds the peoples. Neither Satan, nor his demons, nor any powers or principalities, nor any wicked or unclean spirits are able to inhabit the light of my Father’s love. Arise, shine, for you the glory of Father’s love arises in you to reveal all that the darkness hides because I AM the love that has nothing to hide.
Isaiah 60:1-3 NASB “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
I am coming; I am coming in the revelation of the perfect love of God because I am the perfect love of God. When I came the first time, I was despised and rejected. When I came as the early rain in my disciples, they were mocked and persecuted. But now I am coming as the light of Father’s perfect love to be glorified in you. All shall see me, and all shall know that you are the sons of the living God because they shall see the glorious revelation of the perfect love of God shining brilliantly in you. I AM the love that reveals the majesty and the beauty of God. All of inhabitants of this world shall see my majesty and beauty arising on you; and all, even kings and rulers, shall come to you, praising, thanking, worshipping, and glorifying God. They shall all know that you are the sons of the living God the love that has nothing to hide shall be revealed in you. Arise shine, for God has so loved the world that he has given them…YOU! He who sees you shall see the Son; and he who sees the Son, shall see the Father. Arise shine, for you shall do greater works than I did because a greater glory is now rising upon you.
Isaiah 33:15-17 NASB “He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain and shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil; He will dwell on the heights, his refuge will be the impregnable rock; his bread will be given him, his water will be sure. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty…”
I John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.”
Matthew 5:8 NKJ “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
When I began to mediate and consider that which Father had spoken, the Lord then quickened to me the time that he took me in the Spirit and brought me into his very presence. He was seated on his throne and as I was walking towards him. He kept motioning for me to come directly before him. As I was walking towards him, the first thing that I noticed was he was completely translucent, as pure and as clear as crystal. I continued walking towards him until he told me to stop, which was no more than 2 feet away from him. Then he began to lean forward, and he did not stop leaning forward until his face was exactly level with my face. When he stopped, my face could not have been anymore than 2 to 3 inches away from his face. Because he was completely translucent, I could actually see his thoughts. It is written in Proverbs 23:7 NASB “For as he (man) thinks within himself, so he is”, but now I was seeing with my own eyes that God is also as he thinks because all of the thoughts that I could see were thoughts of love. Not one time in this visitation were any words verbally spoken from his mouth or from mine, but it was his thoughts communicating with my thoughts, and my thoughts with his. Suddenly, without even knowing when or how it even happened, I actually found myself intimately joined together with his thoughts, as if his thoughts were my very own. I could not even tell whose thoughts were whose, as we were one. I have never experienced any such intimacy as that which I was experiencing at that moment with him in me and me in him. I was not fearful in the least because there is no fear in love; and I was in his love and his love was in me. The only way that I could possibly describe the amount of love that I was experiencing is to say that all of his thoughts were as numerous and as visible as the stars in heaven are on a moonless night; and every one of them was filled with his pure love. What I was experiencing in that moment enraptured me beyond any wonderful word that you could use to describe the word “enrapture”.
Psalm 40:5 “Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us. There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, they would be too numerous to count.
The first characteristic of his thoughts that enraptured me with his love came when I could clearly see how much his love cared for me. I truly felt the care of his love totally compassing and penetrating into every aspect of my being and my life, even down to every hair on my body. His love kept asking me if there was anything that I needed, and he also kept asking me what he could do to bless me. Needed? Blessings? Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! I was so blessed in being completely enraptured in this love that I could not even think on anything else. I do not even think that if I purposely tried to think of something to ask of him that anything would have come to mind because I was compassed with his awesome love; and the presence of his love was actually satisfying every desire within me. I was experiencing such bliss and utopia that there was no thought in me that could speak to anything else but what was in that moment. I then wept with great joy in that moment when I realized that I was with him who was going to love me, bless me, commune and fellowship with me, care for me, and treat me this way for all of eternity.
There is a Christian singer name Julie Meyer, and in the last song on one of her CD’s, she sings about the time that she was also taken into God’s throne room. One of the things that Julie testifies of in this song is being able to see the creatures that are before the throne of God, and each creature is full of eyes. She says that their eyes are always focused on God, looking at him in total amazement, as though they have never seen anything like him. Then Julie says that she realizes that these creatures have always been before his throne, and yet, they still look at him as though they have never seen him before. I heard this song not long after this experience that I had in his presence, and being curious, I asked, “Lord, how can these creatures eternally look at you with so much continual astonishment and amazement?” Suddenly the Lord took me back before his throne again, and I then saw exactly what these creatures were seeing: the thoughts of God as I was seeing them, but in an entirely different way. They were visibly seeing his thoughts birthed within him, and then they were watching what was birthed then come to pass. In other words, if God was thinking of parting the Red Sea for Israel, they were watching these thoughts birthed within him, and then they watched as the Red Sea parted itself. If God was thinking on creating a new flower, they then watched as this new design was birthed in his thoughts, and then they saw it come to pass. The flower that I got to see God creating was like watching the National Geographic channel when they show scenes of flowers in time lapse photography going from its budding stage to full bloom. These creatures also watched when God was wooing one of his children with his love or when his love was casting out a spirit a fear. These eyes stare in amazement when they see the lengths that Father’s love will go to help us and to prove his love for us. These creatures have a front row seat that allows for them to visibly see the works and the greatness of Father’s love and power in action. They are continually watching Father bless many with his wondrous and glorious works that you and I are not even able to think or ask for. Obviously, what I saw was simply awesome and beyond understanding, but I will never question again how these creatures could be continually gazing on the awesome thoughts of God.
Revelation 4:6 NASB “And before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.”
Isaiah 14:24 NKJ “The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass; and as I have purposed, so it shall stand.”
Now, back into that which I was experiencing when I was in his presence. Suddenly, it was like my thoughts returned back into my own head. I could still clearly see all of Father’s thought as I did before, but now I was beginning to examine the rest of his inward being. I could see everything within him as clearly as I could see his thoughts. You have no idea how astonished I am as I write these words, remembering that I actually stood face to face with the true and living God and saw these things. I can only describe them in the best way that I can understand what I saw. As I said, Father’s entire body is translucent because there is nothing within him that he desires to hide from anyone in his presence because he is purely good and there are no evil or lying intentions within him to hide from any of us. I also asked him later why I could see him as clearly as I was without being blinded by his glory as others have been that have testified of when they also experienced being brought into his presence. The Lord answered me and said, “Mitt, since the day that I called you, you have not ceased to ask for me to come and search your heart, to bring into the light the thoughts and intents of your heart so that I might cleanse you all that which is not of me. You have continued in asking for me to come and judge your heart, to bring to light all the hidden things of darkness and the deceitful counsels that were hiding within your heart. Because you have so willingly allowed for me to bring to light the hidden counsels in your heart, so also am I now willing to bring into the light the thoughts of my love, that which has been hidden from your eyes. You have diligently sought to know me. I am love, and love is that which I am now revealing to you. Do I not reward all who diligently seek to know me by revealing myself to them? If you ask for bread, will I give you stones? You asked for seeing, and seeing is now what I give to you.”
I Corinthians 4:5 “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.”
Jeremiah 29:13 NKJ “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
I Chronicles 16:11 NKJ “Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore!”
Psalm 28:2 NKJ “When you said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to you, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Ezra 8:22 NKJ “…The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.”
II Chronicles 7:14 NKJ “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Psalm 14:2 NKJ “The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.”
As I began to examine the rest of the Lord’s being, I saw that his translucent body was as a sea of liquid light; yet lights that were of many different beautiful colors, like that which you would see in a rainbow, except much, much more brilliant and radiant. It was like his body was a sea made up of many different streams of living water, and each stream had its own color. The clarity and the purity of these living streams made my entire body feel refreshed and strengthened just by looking them. I then realized that the knowledge had entered into me that enabled me to know what these streams of different colors represented. I first saw seven streams that always flowed together, and that none of them ever flowed contrary to another. I knew that these seven represented the seven different characteristics that form the perfect love of God. I also saw many other colored streams of Father’s love, and the Spirit had revealed to me that one stream was the goodness of Father’s love; another, the provisions of Father’s love; another, the truth of Father’s love; another, the righteousness of Father’s love; another, the faithfulness of Father’s love; another, the wisdom of Father’s love; and another represented the holiness of Father’s love. I also saw the stream of the love that believes all things; another, the love that is patient; another, the love that is kind and gentle; and, another the love that is humble, yet full of boldness. I then felt as though all that which I was seeing of the Lord was somehow being absorbed in me, and as he was being absorbed into me, I was becoming like him. Then either the Spirit or God himself put these thoughts within me: “God is perfect in love; and his love never lacks to be anything other than that which you see in all of these different characteristics. God is today as he was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. It is impossible for God to change.
I then just stared in amazement at the brilliance of his purity and the glorious beauty of his being; and I was seeing with my own eyes that his being is everything that I AM is. I felt that Gods physical being was not a whole lot bigger than my own physical being, but when I gazed upon all of these streams, it was as if I was looking at an endless sea of love. This sea of love was constantly full of motion, yet, not like that which you see in an ocean. Its motion was rather like the fluidity and smoothness of a beautiful ballet. I then watched as his love came flowing out of him as a river of life. As it came out of him, the light lost all of its liquid appearance and took on the appearance of the light that you might expect to see in most beautiful and perfect rainbow. I then saw this light as it filled the entire heavens, and its purpose was not to just enlighten all that which dwells in the heavens but to continually give everlasting life that exists there. I saw every living creature and every living thing there absorbing his light just as I had seen being absorbed into me. And that light filled all things there with the life of Father’s love. I saw everything there flowing smoothly in agreement with the perfect love of God and everything was filled with existence and purpose. Just as all of the creatures on earth need oxygen to live, so also does every creature and being in the heavens require this light of life so that it may have its being. The light of life is of God because God is light and God is life, and by him all things (that is, eternal things) exist. It is for this reason that all things on this earth are only illusions of life because all things of this world are only but for a moment. I have never felt just how contrary and alien the life in this world of darkness is to the life that comes forth from God’s presence as I did in that moment.
John 8:12 NASB “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, " I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
Revelation 24:4-6 “And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, “These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
Then the Lord said, “I am the River of Life. Out of my inward being flows the light of life that gives being to all things. I AM the life; I AM the river of life that flows in perfect love to give existence and purpose to all things. I AM light. I AM the light of life. I AM love. I AM the love that gives life to all things. I AM the light that reveals all things. I AM the love that reveals the love that has nothing to hide. I AM the love that gives being. As I AM, so shall You Be. Praise me, for your new identity is “I AM.”
John 7:38 NASB “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”
Ephesians 5:13 NKJ “But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
The Seventh Seal: The Love that is NOW
The morning that the Lord began to reveal that the seventh seal is that God loves us “now” began this way. I was praying for my son, Joshua Caleb. Josh was saved when he was 13, and at the age of 17, he decided to depart from his heavenly Father just as the prodigal son did from his. I was obviously very upset when he did this, but after a few months of prayer, the Lord finally gave me a vision in which he showed me the prayer that he wanted me to pray for Josh. Remember that Jesus said to his disciples, “You do not know how to pray”? Many times Christians will hear the voice of the Lord and think that they are hearing what they perceive is instruction from God in what to do in a matter when in truth he is giving them the instruction of how to pray in that matter; the prayer that will allow for God to reveal his love and to show himself great and mighty on their behalf. Every prayer that God teaches us is a prayer that is according to his will; and we know that if we ask anything that is according to his will, then it shall be done. I have also learned that the Lord never teaches us a prayer to pray that God is not yearning to answer for us. Some of the greatest works or miracles that Father has performed in my life have come after I have asked the Lord to teach me how to pray in that matter. When the Lord taught me how he wanted me to pray for Josh, it not only excited me that the Lord heard me, but that he still cared enough about Josh to give me a prayer to pray for him.
Job 33:14 “For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.”
On this particular morning, I was praying for Josh when I realized that it had been almost 7 years since the Lord had given this prayer to me, and other than just a little softening in his heart, I had seen nothing that indicated that Josh was soon to return to the Lord. I then said, “Lord, it troubles me that I have been praying this prayer for so long. How long will it be before you hear this prayer and awaken Josh’s heart again?” Then the Lord answered me and said, “Do not be troubled, Mitt. All that is necessary for me to do is to bring Josh back into the “Now” of my love. In the “Now” of my love, there will be no history of Josh’s separation from me; for neither Josh, nor I will remember this time. There are no tomorrows or yesterdays in the “Now” of my love; for the “Now” of my love fully occupies all things that are eternal. “Now” I love you; “Now” my love desires to give all things to you. “Now” my love blesses you; “Now” my love adores you. “Now” my love is with you. “Now” my love communes and fellowships with you. I love you “Now”, and my love never thinks to do anything other than “Now”. Remember that I told you that you were thinking that you were waiting on me. I tell you that it is I who is waiting for you to believe that I love you “Now.”
Just then, the Lord gave a vision; and in this vision I saw this little box or window that appears on my computer that shows all of the internet sites that I have visited in the past. When this window appears, it not only lists the sites that I have visited, but down in the bottom right corner it is also says: “Delete History”. In this vision, instead of seeing the sites on the internet that I have visited listed in this box, I saw instead a history of all things that Josh has done during his separation from the Lord for the past seven years. Then down in the lower right corner of this box, just like on my own computer, I saw the words also written that said, “Delete History”. Then the Lord said, “Do you want to see what my forgiveness is able to do when I bring Josh back into the “Now” of my love?”. Before I could even answer, I saw the finger of the Lord just touch that link, and all of the history of what Josh had done was completely deleted. In the “Now” of my love, there is no remembrance of any sin or separation. Do not be troubled; continue in prayer. You will see me bring Joshua back into the “Now” of my love. Then the Lord brought an end to this vision by allowing for me to see into the “Now”, I saw Father occupying Josh’s time with the “Now” of his love. Halleluiah! Glory be to God! Surely God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not as our ways; for as high as the heavens are above the earth, truly his thoughts and his ways are that much higher than our ways and our thoughts. Again, all of my troubles about “when” just dissolved. When? “Now”!
Later that same morning, as we were praying about the seventh seal, when the Lord gave us this understanding about what I personally consider to be one of the most mysterious men mentioned anywhere in the scriptures, and that is Melchisedec. To me, there was one thing written of him that I truly did not understand at the time, and it is that which is written that says, “he had neither the beginning of days nor the end of life”. I have read several prophetic words that the Lord has given to others over the past couple of years that speak of the Melchisedec priesthood that is soon to appear, and I could not grasp or understand how this priesthood could come forth from those who had “neither the beginning of days nor the end of life”. It was then that the Lord opened our understanding to comprehend that Melchisedec moved in the “Now” of Father’s perfect love; the love that does not exist in yesterdays or in tomorrows. For God is love, and God is life, and those who have their being in Father’s life move in the love that has no beginning or end. No one can dwell in the “Now” except he who has God dwelling in him who has no beginning and that has no end.
When the Lord finished speaking these words, he brought into my remembrance several things to confirm this word for me. First of all, in the three years that Jesus went about healing the sick and casting out demons, he did all of those things in the “Now” because God’s presence was with him. Those who came to Jesus needing healing, he did it “now”; those who came Jesus needing deliverance from demons were delivered in the “now”; and those that came to him that were blind, sight was given to them in the “now”. When Jesus arrived at Lazarus’ tomb, the “Now” of Fathers love was present there, and Lazarus was raised from the dead “Now.” In the “now”, there are no minutes, or hours, or days to bind or limit when the love and power of God can move. Not even the Law of Moses could limit Jesus from showing the love of God “now“, even on the Sabbath day. Mary and Martha thought that is was necessary for Jesus to have come and healed their brother Lazarus in “their time”, but when the “now” of God’s love came, Lazarus was made just as whole as if Jesus had come in their time. God loves us all “now”, and everything that God does is in the “now”.
Acts 10:38 NIV “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil because God was with him.”
John 5:30 CEV “(Jesus said) I cannot do anything on my own…”
The Lord has taken me in the Spirit several times; and each one of these experiences seem to last anywhere from one to eight hours. Yet, when each one of these experiences is over, my Spirit always returns to my body in the same moment that I left it. Not only do I have the knowledge of all that which I have just experienced, but it may be joined with the thoughts of what I was thinking in the moment that I was taken. It is quite an unexplainable experience. It was not as though time had stopped, but it was if I entered into a realm where time just did not exist. In the natural realm, time is measured by seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years; and when we say now, we could be talking about a time as that split second, or that present minute or hour, or that day. In the Spiritual realm, there is only “Now”; and this time cannot be measured with seconds, or minutes, or days. When I was brought into his presence, I observed that with Father there is only one measure of time with the Lord, as well as the time that exists in eternity: and that is “Now”. This “Now” abides only where the presence of Father’s love abides. In truth, that which I experienced could not even exist if it were not for the presence of God’s love. When I entered into the presence of the Lord, I entered into the “Now” of his love, and when I departed from the presence of the Lord, I departed from the “Now” of his love. The Lord once spoke these words to us, “Why are looking and believing for me to come tomorrow to do that which I have promised to do? Does your heart believe that I will love you tomorrow, because you do not believe that I love you “Now”? I love you “Now”. You must believe that I love you “Now” to allow for my presence to come upon you “Now”.
Then the Lord said this to us: “The “Now” of my love makes my love perfect. For my love desires to bless all “Now”; My love grieves “Now” for all those who will not receive my blessings; My love desires to forgive all “Now”; My love desires to give all “Now”; My love cares for all “Now”; My love desires to reveal all things “Now”. I AM the perfection of love. I dwell only in the “Now”, and those who dwell in the “Now” dwell in my presence. “Now” is the time. “Now” is my time. “Now” is the time of eternity. “Now” shall all things be fulfilled. No man that has the “Now” of my love has either beginning or end because my love knew him before he was and my love will be with him for all of eternity. I AM love; and my love has neither a beginning nor an end. I AM the love that loves “Now”; and as I Am, so shall all of my sons be. Praise me for your new identity is I AM. “Now” the mystery of God is complete.
