i loved her first!

Word For Today: April 17, 2021 “I Loved Her First!” A time of Divine Convergence is here! Beloved of the Lord,

If there is something that I can really take away from the Divine Convergence of the Body of Christ last week, it would be "To dwell in the God, Pure Holy Love, and be filled with it."

The love of God was so overwhelming as we came just to be with Him. We came to minister to his heart and seek his face. No other agenda. No other plan.

We did not come to seek answers, things, prayer for others first. We came to seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness.

We all carry so many burdens, needs, and have so many petitions and request to make to God which He loves us to bring to Him.

But what is overwhelming to me is that Jesus said, "Why do you worry about what you eat, where you live and what you are to wear, your Heavenly Father knows yours needs before you ask." (Matthew 6:32)

If we think about that one statement.. He already knows.. then when it comes to seeking God, I can lay and cast all those cares upon him, because he cares for me. (1 Peter 5:7)

Knowing this in reality is liberating as I come to meet with God and to Dwell in Him and for Him to dwell in me.

He already knows our needs, so I can come and just seek His face, and then come and follow Him in the Spirit wherever He desire in our fellowship together.

This divine convergence was so powerful in many ways. It was beyond what I ever I experienced in church services, conference, encounter God times. In our regular type of service, we dissect being with the Lord into parts. Worship, Announcements, Offering, preaching and ministry.

In that structure we often loose the tangible continuous presence of God and very rarely enter into the glory realm 3rd heaven of the Lord, or go behind the veil. At the convergence, there was no agenda, but seeking the face of God. Our desire was just God alone!

We came to be with just God with no agenda but Him. Why is that important? Because Beloved of God, that is where we learn of His desire to be with us is greater than our desire to be with Him.

His desire to be one with us and in us, is greater than our desire to be one with him or be found in him. Jesus is passionately in love with us, and he has now brought us to the entrance time of the marriage supper of the lamb.

Beloved, I have so many needs, so many family needs, ministry needs that I could pray all day about them. Then there are so many of the saints needs that need us to prayer for as well, that I could spend all day and night just praying for needs.

Yet, the Word of God says, and "MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL MY NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS. (Phil 4:19)

The answer to our lives question, needs, and deepest desire are found in God, who is pure holy love. A love that He says "never fails." 1st Cor. 13:8

If God is pure holy love and that all that I ever need is in Him, and if it is true, In Him I live and move and have my being (Acts 17:28) and if He is the All in All (1st Cor 15:28) then WHY CAN'T WE JUST SEEK HIM WITH OUR LIFE AND THEN JUST COME AND SEEK HIS FACE FIRST, HIS KINGDOM FIRST, CASTING ALL MY CARES UPON HIM?

The beauty of the Divine Convergence was the "lack of need" for people to minister "gifts, anointing" to pray for God to meet those needs.

There was very little praying or prophesying over each other, or ministering to each other because in our ALONE TIME OF TRUE AND PURE WORSHIP OF GOD.. HE MET EVERYONE OF THOSE NEEDS. HE SPOKE TO EACH HEART FROM THE POWER OF HIS PURE HOLY LOVE MANIFESTING IN US AND AROUND US.

Jeremiah 31:34 became a living reality in our midst. "No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

My 11 year old Grandson entered into true worship, intimacy with God, and God made himself known to him personally. He was overwhelmed in God's love.

His testimony was, "This was so beautiful. I am so happy. I feel so free and I feel safe. I feel so safe." Why did he feel these thing, because the Lord brought into the psalm 91 reality. He didn't tell my grandson to memorize the scripture , He let him t experience it as he brought him into the depth of His heart.

My Grandson said, "I accepted Jesus in my heart at Christmas Granddaddy, but today I felt Him in me and around me. He is in me and He is real. I feel like a bald eagle and that I can sore with the Lord."

Beloved, who taught him this.. GOD HIMSELF... THE ALL IN ALL.. As we came to DWELL IN HIM, HE CAME TO DWELL IN US AND MAKE US ONE WITH HIM BEYOND WORDS OR FEELINGS LIKE A BRIDE WITH HER BRIDEGROOM.

In this divine convergence the reality of Jesus words in John chapter 15:4-10 manifested in this gathering. It first manifested individually as if we were the only one with the Lord.

Then the Lord manifested these words corporately as a multi-membered body of Christ dwelling together as one with Him and one another in ways I have never experienced before.

4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.

5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.

9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [[a]continue in His love with Me].

10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love.

Beloved, We cannot never love each other as Jesus love us "trying to do it, saying to do it, commanding people to do it.

We can only love others as Jesus loves us and His love dwelling and completing us. His love for us is endless and we are commanded to DWELL IN THAT LOVE AND THAT LOVE TO DWELL INN US. WE ARE TO DWELL IN HIM, AND HE PROMISES HE WILL DWELL IN US.

The present church structure, order of services, and even the new understanding of the Kingdom of God without us learning to dwell continually in His love, be continually filled with his pure holy love will only produce another "something else.

Many are in danger of trying to build something for God without the power of His pure holy love filling us, or his glory being revealed in us and through us.

I am asked to be part of a lot of "new emerging kingdom things" yet I can not yet, not because I am better than anyone else.

Beloved, without the focus of abiding in Him, true worship of Him, and the understanding of the restoration of David' Tabernacle to bring His body together as one, there is "no room at the inn" for those like me who see this.

It just doesn't fit the "new kingdom agenda" of the new "apostles and prophets" that are fixated on building something instead of becoming something.. a kingdom of kings and priest unto our God.

Coming to God, being with Him, seeking Him, and desiring Him as our vital need is our FIRST WORK and He should be OUR FIRT LOVE ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE ENTIRE CREATION.

Jesus told us to "SEEK FIRST.. not second, third or last.. THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS... AND THEN ALL THESE THINGS WOULD BE ADDED UNTO US. True love and unity can not be produced just by our coming together and trying to love each other. True love and unity is a person. HIS NAME IS JESUS.

Jesus is the Light of the World. He is Pure Holy Love and He tell u to "Live in Him, abide in Him and He will abide in us."

1 john 1:7 says But if we walk in the light (Jesus pure holy love), as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

At this convergence, the Lord told me to set a wedding table for the Bride and the Bridegroom prophetically. That this convergence was for Him to reveal our true oneness with him and him with one that he desires.

He told me, only those who are now receiving that pure holy love, dwelling in that pure holy love, and being changed by that pure holy love will be ready to go out and meet the bridegroom at the midnight hour.

They would be the wise virgins that had bought the extra oil for their lamp ready to go with their bridegroom.

Thee wise virgins, "in lovers with Jesus" would now be ready and positioned to enter into the season of the marriage supper of the lamb.

As his mature bride and full grown son and daughters, the lord would empower them with the pure holy love to transform the entire earth with His glory.

The Kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of our God in Christ through their oneness with the Lord and one another. The two shall be one!

1 John 4:17-19 bring this point home to the present work of God upon the earth.

17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love [a]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear [b]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].

19 We love Him, because He first loved us.

Beloved, at this divine convergence, this is what we experienced in living reality, and we still are from this divine convergence with the Lord. We have been changed from the inside out, and everything that was upside down was turned right side up.

Today we have a deeper passion of being in love with Him, because he first is in love with us. Leaders of the Lord, this Sunday I encourage you to take a spiritual inventory of what you see in the people. Do you see workers for God? Do you see people who love God and what He does for them?

Can you find any that are passionately in love with Him and that are seeking Him, His face as their vital need? Can you find those "In lovers' with God in your congregation that carry the spiritual substance of being alone with God and are filled with that love that they give it away everywhere?

Not the man made try to love others, but the true substance of Kingdom love and life in them. Will you find those not trying to love God and others in their own power, but will you find those whose God's pure holy love is seen in them, upon them and given out of them?

Can you find one in your midst that fits that description? I pray you can!

I am afraid, that what we will find will be workers, laborers, who want to know God only by serving God by working for him, but you may find very few who really know him, dwell in him with the evidence of that pure holy love life seen upon them. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23 …

21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…

Jesus command to dwell in him, his love and he and his love will dwell in us is why He is appearing to us in His Parousia.

What I am describing is the "finishing work" Jesus is now appearing to us to complete. A work He prayed to the Father to complete in John 17:9-26

9 I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You.

10 All [things that are] Mine are Yours, and all [things that are] Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honor; in them My glory is achieved.]

11 And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep in Your Name [[a]in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one].

12 While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name [[b]in the knowledge and worship of You]. Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].

14 I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world.

15 I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.

16 They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.

18 Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

19 And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth.

20 Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching,

21 That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. 22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one:

23 I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

24 Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25 O just and righteous Father, although the world has not known You and has failed to recognize You and has never acknowledged You, I have known You [continually]; and these men understand and know that You have sent Me.

26 I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very [c]Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them.

Beloved, the Kingdom of God can not be established on the earth until the restoration of David's Tabernacle is seen on the earth.

God desires to be sought after and ministered too with pure holy love in us for him

and He desires for us to be completely one with Him and Him with us, so the world will know that the Father loves us as He loves Jesus.

21 That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. 22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one:

23 I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

Many good Kingdom minded men and woman are going to try to establish Kingdom things with an "attempt to love" instead of "abiding in love."

God will have to come and bring them through things to remove the mixture of human love, human wisdom from God's love and God's wisdom but much time will be lost in the process.

LOVE IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN DO APART FROM GOD. FOR GOD IS LOVE. WE LOVE HIM, BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US.

DWELL IN MY LOVE AND MY LOVE WILL DWELL IN YOU IS A COMMAND WE MUST OBEY IF WE WANT TO BE THE ONES GOD HAS READY TO USE TO RELEASE HIS END TIME PLANS ON THE EARTH.

I will close with two scriptures from the book of Proverbs chapter 8 verse 17 and 21. For they speak of the special bond, a special impartation and work of God He give to those who truly are in love with him and seek Him first as their vital need.

To those who truly find the Lord as a person to be known, He is the lover of their souls and they are in love with Him as a bride is in love with her bridegroom.

These "in love ones" are found in Revelation 19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Beloved, that is the season that is now here.. the day of the Lord... that in that day Jesus will come and be seen glorified in His Saints 2 Thes 1:10

At the divine convergence, found on the bridal table God had us set up for the convergence was a plaque that said, "I loved her first."

Why? because God says In Proverbs 8 the following:

Proverbs 8:17, and 21:

17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me. 21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries.

May this message reach the ears and hearts that God intends it to reach.

Much love and blessing!
