This morning I heard in my spirit:
“Real Christians don’t “have to” READ, they “have to” surrender to My PRESIDING PRESENCE.”
As I was pondering the depth of Truth in this statement (considering illiteracy, to religious practice…), He went onward:
“Be wary of Pharisaical “christians” who load congregants with guilt and labors of so-called “if you love Him’s”:
Labored Love is not LOVE, it’s Duty.
Duty is not LOVE, it’s Work.
Work is not LOVE, it’s Debt.
Debt is not LOVE, it’s Bondage.
Bondage is not LOVE, it’s Penance.
Penance is not LOVE, it’s pride-filled, self-manipulation of a soul whose price has already been REDEEMED by My Flesh and Blood at Calvary.
REDEMPTION IS FREE!
LOVE is a choice to be reckoned in surrender, and a desire for True Intimacy. I AM looking for souls willing to LOVE Me–not perform FOR Me. LOVE.”
If this touches you, as it did me, please join me in the following prayer:
Lord,
I choose to LOVE YOU! Create in me a clean heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Lead me in Your way everlasting. Do not allow pride, or presumptuous sins, to overtake me! I SURRENDER TO YOUR PRESIDING PRESENCE!!
In Jesus’ NAME I pray, and receive,
AMEN

Reading God’s Word is SUCH a privilege to the literate. Ask Him to shift your heart stance, and cause His Word to be viewed as letters from your soul-mate: for that is Who He is, if you invite Him in!
KNOW Him. Allow Him to LOVE you. LOVE Him in return with ALL of your heart, ALL of your soul, ALL of your mind, and ALL of your strength! You’ll be glad you did! 🙂
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
