THE VITAL IMPORTANCE OF LOVE IN AND THROUGH THE LIFE OF EVERY BELIEVER IN CHRIST!


Bob Jones, a true prophet of God, passed away this year on Valentine's Day. I have had the privilege of seeing him in person and hearing Bob speak. He was an unassuming man with a quiet, humble, loving and gentle demeanor.

I encourage you to read the following posting in how Bob Jones described his time in heaven in 2006. While there, Jesus asked Bob, "Did you learn to love?" This is a very sobering message and wake-up call to THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. The Lord took Bob to Heaven to show him the importance of love and choosing various gods which professing Believers served.

James 3:20-21 "For if our hearts condemns us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God." (NKJV)

And at the end of 1 Cor. 12 where the Apostle Paul was speaking to them about spiritual gifts and being one in Christ in His Body, He wrote at the end of Chap. 12:31 "But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the highest gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all -- love]. Then he writes the "love chapter" in 1 Cor. 13 and ends it by stating, "And so faith, hope , love abide [faith-conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love-true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest is love." (Amp.)

Gal. 5:6 "For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accounts for anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love."

The two greatest commandments are to love God first and to love our neighbor as ourselves. And that INCLUDES blessing those who curse us and loving our enemies.

Matt. 6:44-45 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for thosse who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven;...."

"Dear Father God, Please change me into the image of Your Son who shines with the glory of Your love so that You may be glorified on the earth.  Amen"

Herald of His Kingdom

Saints, 
This is the website link of my dear and precious friend, Clo DiPilato. I pray you are blessed by what you "taste and see". Oh, that I had all the time I wanted to chew on every morsel offered here. Be sure that Clo, who is especially gifted in the prophetic, has gone through the fire and emerged in the declarative power of the Holy Ghost. 
Blessings always,
Crista

WE ARE VICTORS IN CHRIST! THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE!


I had a series of 3 dreams last night that I feel led to share with you:
Dream #1 - Dreamed I was in a sanctuary where the True Gospel was being preached. Someone had brought his mother w/ him and I happened to come nearby. She was all huffy, b/c she deemed her religious beliefs more correct than what she'd just heard about confession of sin, repentance and then inviting Jesus into our heart and lives. And then I looked her square in the eye and said very firmly, "If you do not take heed to what you just heard, then you have sealed your fate in hell." And then I walked away.

Dream #2: I was standing in the hallway listening to a conversation w/ three other people, one of whom confessed to being a Christian. Then the topic of Darwinism came up for discussion, and I turned and left the group. The man who claimed to be a Christian ran up to me and asking why I left the group. And I just told him that I was not listening to that hogwash....And I knew in my spirit that he knew in his spirit that I was right; which led to this man's conviction and repentance before God.

Dream #3 There were two men, one with a gun who intended to shoot and kill me. At the end, the man without the gun had bowed his heart before heaven, repented and asked Jesus to be his Savior - while the man with the gun fled.

Saints, we ARE in the last days and we need to be fully equipped with the sword of the Spirit in season and out, b/c there is so much nonsense flying around out there.  And we MUST be prepared at all times to put the enemy to flight; binding him and casting him out by the power in the Name of Jesus Christ and by the shed Blood of the Lamb! And then to pray the Holy Spirit into that situation. We are to bind the spirits of darkness over the unsaved and situations where the devil and his demons are causing problems, stress and strife in another Believer. We are to PRAY THE PRAYER OF BINDING AND LOOSING BY THE POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AND BY THE SHED BLOOD OF THE LAMB!

Sometimes it is easy to say, "I will pray for you", and then forget to pray for them...when what they really need is a Holy Ghost filled prayer right now in Jesus' Name. We are so in need of sharing a rhema word and power filled prayer from the Holy Ghost to our Brothers and Sisters in Christ to encourage their faith and intercede for them when they are exhausted and need our faith; for a strand of three cords is not easily broken.

One of my Sisters in Christ was at a retreat and the leader said, "Look at your neighbor and tell them 'You Are About To Come Out." So I turned to my Sister who was just going through so much hell at the time, looked her square in the eye, and proclaimed, "You ARE about to come out!" She began to tear up, b/c she needed that rhema word from the Lord. Then a couple months later as I was praying for her, the Holy Spirit said, "You tell her that her breakthrough is just around the corner." Another rhema word given to her. And do you know, I think it was about two weeks, when her burdens, shackles and chains came off and she was praising the Lord from whom all blessings flow. Now, after coming through all that fire, she is a powerful woman of God, filled with the Holy Ghost who is victorious in Christ!

Cast out and break off those demons in the power of Jesus' Name and by the power of His Blood! And if you need someone to pray for you, ask God to help you in your time of trouble. "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear." Is. 59:1

Listen to this Gospel hymn the Holy Spirit wants you to hear and take into your spirit. 
He loves you so much and lifts you this day in His love.
Jesus, before we close today, I ask You to lay Your hands upon each of Your servants reading this posting.  I pray You anoint each person afresh and send Your rhema word into their life.  Thank You.  In Your blessed Name we pray.  Amen and Amen.  And we vow to give You all the praise, honor and glory.
God's Blessings to you this day,
Crista~
