Ephesians 8:8-12. John 15:9-17

The Father’s holy Word who issued from His very Being was spoken before time was to all He had created and would create until the end of time. Present in hearts and minds from the beginning, powerful in all obedient to the Father’s will and loving purpose, The Word entered in the Father’s world laying aside the power and glory of His Godhead and receiving it in the perfection of His humanity.

That power is love, the substance of the Creator Who is Lord of all and Father of the sons of men. I am the Father’s Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word and I enter the hearts and minds of all who seek the Father’s will and loving purpose and live faithfully in the power of it. Through My indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit all continuing faithful in love and in self-giving come to the joy and fulness of Eternal Love. Is it not written, “The faithful shall abide with Him in Love”?
