“ The desire of My heart beloveds it to love you, not to destroy you, not to deny you save what is good for your character enrichment.  My perfect love casts down ALL FEARS.  When you know the depth, length, width and breadth of My love for you, then all fear is uprooted and driven out.  Love is the GREATEST.

Many things in the ages have been done in My name, which were not really done FOR My name.  Killing and plundering, stealing and rape are not My standards.  I did not come to build an EARTHLY KINGDOM , just as I told Pilate.  My KINGDOM is NOT OF THIS WORLD.  To fight in My kingdom, you use MY ways, not man’s ways.  Why do you still not understand this beloveds.  I DO NOT TAKE SIDES.  My will is for ALL to come to surrender to My love.   Justice is truly an attribute of Mine for sure.  But men do many things saying they want MY justice, when what they really want is power and fame, or adventure and thievery.

MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD ! MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD !

My citizens do not fight with guns and rockets, swords and torture. They fight on their knees and in opposition to all that is ungodly !  They work from a heart of LOVE, not hate.  Some of you beloveds, still have hate in your hearts for those in your own family who have wronged you.  If you cannot even give up unforgiveness for those of the same blood, how will you forgive those who are your enemies ?  Did I not say to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES ?  That does not mean to cower in fear of secular authorities.  Think on this…when you love your child, if you have had children, then you CORRECT them.  You restrain them from doing what is harmful to their own health yes ?  When your child is about to do something that could ruin the lives of others or his, would you not warn them or stop them ?  Would you not do all you could to convince them of the TRUTH ?  I spoke truth to all the Pharisees, and to the procurator.  But I spoke it in love especially to those who were lacking in truth.  To those who should have known the truth, I was harder.  But I rebuked !  I warned !  I called them hypocrites and white washed tombs.  I didn’t withhold My voice .  I was  NOT APATHETIC.

Is it not honoring to speak the truth in love ?  What is not honoring is to speak out of hate, resentment, murder and apathy.  It is hard to keep your heart right in today’s world.  I told you these terrible times would come.  I told you to hold cling to ME. For I AM TRUTH.   I AM THE WAY.  I AM YOUR LIFE SUSTAINER.  I AM YOUR LIFE SOURCE !  There is nothing I won’t do for the one who lays down his own agenda and picks up MINE !  I do NOT want you to walk in PRETENSE and LIES and IGNORANCE OF THE TRUTH.  YOU MUST LOVE THE TRUTH.  SEEK the TRUTH from ME.  When you run on and on in your own opinions & fantasy, not wanting the truth, then you will walk in delusion and deception.  Wishing for things to be better does not make them better.

YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL.  Nor can you MANIPULATE ME to do anything !  I am not the sugar daddy some think  I am.  I AM THE I AM !  I am the CREATOR of heaven and earth, and am I not deserving of more honor than men ?  AM I NOT TO BE THE PREEMINENT ONE in MY CHURCH ?

I tell you know truly, that I WILL BE !   I tell you that you will see many things in the days ahead that will startle you and many more into submission to MY WILL. I AM RESTORING, but to restore, I’ve told you, you sometimes have to break down walls, windows, and doors and replace them.  You have to replace lies with TRUTH.  I am breaking down the walls of YOUR HEART BELOVEDS, that I may have MY WAY in your life and heart, mind and soul.  Will you ALLOW ME IN ?  Will you keep Me out due to your pride and fears ?  These are the things, you know, that under-gird control.   Will you still try to be in control, or will YOU ALLOW ME CONTROL ?  You may ask whatever you want that is in MY WILL. 

Remember My prayer to the Father,
                        “LET YOUR WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven !”

I didn’t do MY OWN WILL, and I am GOD’s own SON.  SO WHY do you cling to your own will ?  SURRENDER is the bottom line in My Kingdom.  To build MY KINGDOM, you have to do it MY WAY, not your way !  To gain MY HEART, you have to lose yours.  To gain MY MIND, you have to lose yours !  To gain MY character, you have to lose yours !  To gain the keys to MY KINGDOM, you have to lay down your keys to doing things and those of OTHER MEN & WOMEN.  UNDERSTAND beloveds that many are perishing for lack of knowledge and MY WISDOM.  But all you have to do to get it is to SURRENDER, and to LET ME IN to work in you and your heart – to work in your mind and character.  SLOW DOWN beloveds and allow ME PLACE.  ALLOW ME TIME to work.  STOP STRIVING to be what I only can make you !  RUN TO ME, the AUTHOR and FINISHER of LIFE.  Lay down your agenda and allow ME to take over ! For MY LOVE for you is ETERNAL, and unconditional.  It is not limited as you think.
I AM YOUR FOREVER LOVER !”

1 John 4:18 AMP   There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear 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].

Eph 3:17-20 AMP   May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,  18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];

19  [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being]  unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!   20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--

Luke 6:42 AMP   Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You actor (pretender, hypocrite)! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

Gal 6:7 AMP   Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and  that only is what he will reap.

Matt 10:31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. NKJV

Luke 12:5 But I will show you whom you should fear : Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!  NKJV

Luke 12:32-34 "Do not fear , little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.  34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  NKJV

Song 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — For your love is better than wine. NKJV

Song 1:12-14 While the king is at his table, my spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, that lies all night between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms in the vineyards of En Gedi. NKJV

Song 2:4  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. NKJV

Song 2:6  His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me. NKJV
