2001.03.1.04 Love Like Yahshua Created by James3 on 7/5/2019 9:16:45 AM Love Like Yahshua
SUMMARY
Further to previous postings on Love, this posting lists some headlines from the book "The Final Quest" by Rick Joyner which highlight the critical importance of love and truth in the Kingdom of Yahweh.
Headlings include:
Love the Saviour and seek His glory alone.
The pure truth spoken in pure love will always attract.
Pain is good, it shows you where there is a problem, do not try to reduce the pain until you find the problem.
Relationships are opportunities to give to others NOT to get from them.
True love seeks to serve.
Truth MUST be accompanied by Grace.
The higher the spiritual authority that you walk in, the further you can fall if you are without LOVE and humility.
Those who prevail do not deviate from LOVING Yashua.
Preach the Cross
The last day church WILL do greater works.
Seek Yashua no matter what the cost.
The moral and spiritual order of the Universe is just as sure as the natural order established upon the natural laws.
Truth faith is to have confidence in who Yashua is.
Yashua wants men to obey Him because they love Him and they love the truth.
The goal of your life must be LOVE.
Faith must be FIRST FOR LOVE.
Throughout these passages we see the close correlation between love of Yashua and love of truth BUT that we MUST put Yashua FIRST in ALL things.
LOVE LIKE YAHSHUA LOVES
Late last year an item was posted regarding "Lord Teach Me How To Love", the book by Creflo Dollar.
I continue to find that LOVE is an absolutely CRITICAL aspect of the believers walk and yet it is something that I, for one, constantly find that I hardly know at all and something that it seems to me is seldom evident within the Body of those who call themselves by the name of Christ.
It also seems that most people confuse the carnal lust of this world with the Agape (Greek), Hesed (Hebrew) love of Yahweh as set out in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. (NKJ)
In the past few days I have again been reading "The Final Quest", the account by Rick Joyner of five visions in which he was caught up to the third heaven. This is a book which I have absolute certainty has been given by the Spirit of Yahweh for our edification and instruction in this age and which, it seems to me, we will find to be about as close to modern scripture (although it is NOT scripture) as we are likely to have the privilege of receiving in this age.
It clarifies MUCH about what is going on in the earth today as well as providing a DEEP insight into the Judgment process and many of the issues which are likely to cause many of us to fall on the day of Judgment. In this latest reading a number of passages regarding LOVE made a great impact and these and a few other quotes and associated notes follow:
Pg 102 "LOVE THE SAVIOUR AND SEEK HIS GLORY ALONE".
Pg 104 "THE PURE TRUTH SPOKEN IN PURE LOVE WILL ALWAYS ATTRACT".
Earlier in the book reference is made to arrows which destroy demons. The PURE truth spoken in PURE LOVE MUST SURELY be at the heart of these arrows!
Yet, because we are so sullied and so full of ourselves and so little filled with The Holy Spirit, most of what we do, say and write (and think) is NOT of Yahweh, it is carnal at best and at worst it is of the evil one or evil inclination.
Thus, when we seek to minister to someone, even when the heart of what we have to say IS of Yahweh, there is so little of Yahweh in us that they cannot receive His Truth and His Love because it is drowned out by all the other NOISE and the lack of His love.
We must seek to become more like Yashua, He is the ONLY frame of reference for the Christian walk, if we are not walking in the fullness of what He purchased for us on the Cross, that is an affront to the cross.
Pg 104 "PAIN IS GOOD, IT SHOWS YOU WHERE THERE IS A PROBLEM. DO NOT TRY TO REDUCE THE PAIN UNTIL YOU FIND THE PROBLEM."
All too often, carnal worldly love seeks to spare the object of affection pain resulting from sin. Yashua's love loves enough to want to spare the object of affection the penalties of sin and therefore does NOT seek to reduce pain resulting from sin but seeks to point the object of affection TOWARDS THE SIN in order that the root cause of the pain may be removed.
Most believers, when someone points out that their pain is as a consequence of their sin, do not want to receive that information and accuse the person giving the information of lacking love.
It is far better to deal with sin in this life than on the Day of Judgment and it is love to seek to point sin out IF one has the authority and the LOVE to do so compassionately. BUT such information must NOT be communicated in a judgmental or prideful way.
Pg 105 "RELATIONSHIPS ARE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE TO OTHERS NOT TO GET FROM THEM"
Frequently people go into marriage and other relationships for what they can GET not for what they can give. Carnal standards of physical appearance, assets, etc, etc are applied rather than looking to complement and give to the other person in areas where they are weak.
Pg 106 "TRUE LOVE SEEKS TO SERVE."
We so often lose sight of this, whether in ministry, in marriage or in everyday life.
Pg 110 "Everyone on earth is deserving of the second death, but our Saviour brought us GRACE AND TRUTH. If we are to do His work we must do EVERYTHING in both Grace and Truth. TRUTH WITHOUT GRACE IS WHAT THE ENEMY BRINGS WHEN HE COMES AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT."
This is IMMENSELY CHALLENGING! It is too easy to bring truth or correction but to do it in a harsh or judgmental way rather than just communicating the facts and a genuine concern for the person being corrected.
Pg 114 "THE HIGHER THE SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY THAT YOU WALK IN, THE FURTHER YOU CAN FALL IF YOU ARE WITHOUT LOVE AND HUMILITY"
Great spiritual authority is being handed out in these days and, at the same time, terrible falls are taking place. All who have been in the faith for some time must CONSTANTLY be aware of the possibility that they can fall by allowing pride and self to take the place of humility and love!
Pg 115 "Those who PREVAILED all did it the same way - they did not deviate from THE FIRST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT - LOVING THE LORD. By this their service was done unto HIM, not to men, not even for spiritual men. These were the ones who worshipped the Lamb and followed Him wherever He went."
We must do EVERYTHING AS UNTO Yashua and Yahweh!
Pg 115 "Somehow, through this last battle, the Glory of God was to be revealed in such a way that it would be a witness to every power and authority created or yet to be created, for all eternity. During this battle the Glory of the Cross would be revealed, and the wisdom of God would be known in a special way."
Pg 136 "PREACH THE CROSS"
We too easily claim the blessings without taking account of the curses of Torah and Scripture generally and without accepting that we must be "crucified with Christ" and "take up our Cross and follow Yashua".
We must learn to sacrifice ourselves to the service of the Kingdom!
Pg 137 "THE LAST DAY CHURCH WILL DO GREATER WORKS"
There is a MASSIVE OUTPOURING OF The Holy Spirit taking place at present and we should ALL aspire to the anointing that will enable us to do greater works than Yashua did. BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT Yahweh EXPECTS OF US!
Pg 140 "SEEK JESUS NO MATTER WHAT THE COST"
Yashua is the ONLY WAY and the ONLY REASON FOR OUR EXISTENCE. If we forget this we WILL fall!
Pg 142 "The moral and spiritual order of My [Yashua / Jesus] Universe is just as sure as the natural order established upon the natural laws. You trust My law of Gravity without even thinking about it. You must learn to trust My judgments in the same way. My standards of righteousness are unchanging, and are just as sure. To love by this truth is to walk in faith. TRUE FAITH IS TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN WHO I [Yashua] AM".
As an Engineer one is trained from first principles to understand the laws of Physics and that these laws are inviolate. If the bridge falls down it is because the Engineer did something wrong NOT because of the person who drove over the bridge.
Believers need to come to this understanding regarding the spiritual laws and commandments of Yahweh. If a person has no money it is BECAUSE THERE IS SIN IN THAT PERSONS LIFE! It is as simple as that. If demons are manifesting in a person, it is because of sin in their life, not someone else's sin.
Until believers accept without question that where there is lack, loss, illness or other attack of Satan it can ONLY succeed if there is sin in their lives, whether directly or through the blood line, and turn to The Holy Spirit to help them identify the cause, confess, repent, make restitution and TURN AROUND, the majority will CONTINUE to walk in financial, physical, emotional or spiritual lack or sickness. Refer the article on "God's Wrath for the Church, Why Judgment is Coming on the Church Today" for more information.
If we get to the bottom of our sin and deal with it, the BLESSINGS WILL FLOW!
Pg 142 "I DO NOT WANT MEN TO OBEY ME BECAUSE THE FEAR MY POWER, BUT BECAUSE THEY LOVE ME, AND THEY LOVE THE TRUTH."
If we love Yahweh we WILL KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS! (1 John 5:2-3)
Pg 142 "THE GOAL OF YOUR LIFE MUST BE LOVE, not power. THEN I (Yashua) WILL GIVE YOU POWER TO LOVE WITH. I will give you power to heal the sick because YOU LOVE THEM, and I love them and I do not want them sick."
WE MUST SEEK TO LOVE AS Yashua LOVES!
Pg 143 "FAITH MUST FIRST BE FOR LOVE. SEEK FAITH TO LOVE MORE, AND TO DO MORE WITH YOUR LOVE. ONLY WHEN YOU SEEK FAITH TO LOVE CAN I [Yashua] TRUST YOU WITH MY POWER. FAITH WORKS BY LOVE!"
Our cry must constantly be LORD TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE!
Throughout these extracts we see the enormous importance of Yahweh and Yashua's form of love in the Kingdom of Yahweh.
We ALSO see that LOVE AND TRUTH are closely related. We cannot say that we love Yashua if we do not love His truth. On the other hand, because we love truth, does not mean that we love Yashua. We MUST seek Him and His LOVE AND HIS TRUTH!
In closing, I pray "17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ [Yashua Messiah], the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ [Yashua Messiah] when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places," (NKJ Ephesians 1:17-20)
