A LIVING WORD YESTERDAY

The Sufficiency of Grace To Cross Over Love's Bridge Between Death and Life

After speaking unto the Lord, I heard his reply come unto me. This is what I heard,

You have not come unto a thundering mountain of terror. You have come unto spiritual Mount Zion. You have come unto the city of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. There is an innumerable company of angels present with this church of the firstborn. Do not fear, and do not quake before me. I am the Lord, your God. The blood of sprinkling is speaking this morning. It has not cried out for vengeance. It has spoken peace unto you. It has spoken with the voice of mercy. The voice of my blood has not cried from the ground and said, "Why have you shed me upon the earth?" My blood has spoken and commanded peace and mercy in the earth. My blood now speaks from heaven and declares reconciliation. My blood speaks better things than the blood of men. Hear the voice of my blood. I say, "Grace, grace unto your mountains."

Though many adversaries reproach you on different sides, know assuredly that you have received a kingdom that cannot be moved. Be fully persuaded to seek those things that cannot be shaken, for only those things will remain. You have grace. By the grace given, you may serve me acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

I am both Lord and Christ. Go and preach who I am, and fear not their faces. My word is in your tongue. Go and declare this truth, and they will be pricked in their hearts. The love of many is waxing colder. I am a consuming fire. I am a consuming fire of love. Where are those who love like the apostle Paul?

Paul loved with such a consuming love that he wished that he were accursed from Christ for his brethren, his kinsmen according to the flesh. He knew that Christ was God blessed forever. You will not love like Paul until you know me as Paul knew me. He had a relationship with me that soared high above his confidence in the flesh. He counted the things that were gain to him loss for Christ. He wanted to know me, the power of my resurrection, and the fellowship of my sufferings. He wanted to attain unto the resurrection of the dead. How will you pass from death to life if do not love your brethren with a fervent love?

The cold love of the hour will not carry you across the bridge that goes from death to life. You must be baptized with the fire of love. Only by the fire of love is the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus illuminated and desired. Only the consuming fire of my love can destroy the confidence that you have in the flesh. Give me your confidence that you have in the flesh today, and I will grant you a baptism of love. Only then will you know me the way that I desire you to know me. When you meet the hatred of this world, what will you do if you have not journeyed across life's bridge?

You know that you have passed from death unto life because you love the brethren. If you do not love your brother, you abide in death. Love will compel you to lay down your life for the brethren. You perceive the love of God because Christ laid down his life for you. How will you lay down your life for your brethren when you have this world's good and see your brethren have need and shut up your bowels of compassion from them?

Where is the love of God in you?

You must love in deed and in truth, not in tongue and word. Seek a baptism of love, and that love will work faith unto total victory and the miraculous. I desire you to experience miracles as though they were as common as the exploits of humanity. Do you desire to possess love that is more prevalent than the human exploits of this world's icons?

I desire you to know me with my love flowing through you. My love flows to others. Those who truly know me shall be strong and do exploits. The sufficiency of grace shall supply the desire, the ability, and the power. Only believe.
