Conclusion - Now What?

So Saints; we as the Body of Christ, must determine within ourselves how important our relationship with Jesus is. Do we wish to be responsible for the continued theft of other’s innocence now that we know? Can we stand by in judgment of others knowing that they are under the attack of the enemy as we are? Can we forgive others so that God can start fully restoring their lives as well as ours? Can we forgive ourselves and stop being self worshipers allowing the lies of the enemy to fester in our minds? Can we start activating the gifts of the Holy Spirit in our lives to complete the work He sent us here to do? Can we start worshiping our Lord without being religious?

We know that practicing and walking in forgiveness is exercising perfect love and with that said, no stronghold of fear can stand in our lives. We then can function as true disciples of Jesus Christ, not being hindered by the enemy of our soul. As a restored Saint we will now operate in the gifts and office of our ambassadorship while we are here on earth. Heaven is our home and we are empowered and ordained through Jesus Christ our King to do His work here on earth before we return back home to the Father. We are purposed for a purpose. God is perfect and all He does is purposeful therefore; we in turn despite what womb we entered the earth through, are here on-purpose.

Mighty Saints of the living God, I charge you to take this message very seriously. First and foremost we are here on this planet to walk out our pilgrimage worshiping the True God of our lives and secondly to help win souls for the kingdom of our Lord and Savior. As I have stated before, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and encouraged me in this; “If you build my Kingdom, I will build My Kingdom in you!”

We must come to acknowledge the Father in terms of a relationship and not some religious practice. How can we have a religion of “love” when “love” is relational? We must practice love in all areas of our life. The practicing of love is what draws the Father’s attention to us. It is what Jesus did for us. He loved us so much that He gave himself as a ransom for it, paying a price to redeem us back to Him that no one else could pay. Jesus Himself, being Perfect Love in the flesh, was setting an example for all of us to live by.

If you have taken seriously this teaching, you will have undoubtedly encountered the fact that you were created in love by the God of Love for the purpose of advancing His Kingdom of Love while journeying here on planet Earth!

I would exhort you to do your own study on love. Apostle Joseph Palumbo, (with Upper Room Ministry) preached an entire sermon out of the three books of John on the importance of understanding love’s principles. He did this prior to me leaving for Africa again. I was so touched by his passion for love and I needed to be reminded as to why I was heading back to Africa in the first place: to go and love our neighbor Africa. Brother Joe himself had learned the hard way how to love those who had harmed him as a child. I love to refer to Brother Joe as the apostle of Love. Shouldn’t we all be apostles of love?

Since we are no longer ignorant of the devices of the enemy; let’s go out there and practice perfect love. Go out and practice forgiveness. Go out there and practice Jesus. “Do What Jesus Does!”

May the Lord of Love bless you and restore you to His fullness, back to your first Love to do the first works of Christ. And may He help you set the body of Christ free to serve, and to win more souls from Hell’s gates; in the name of the living God, our Lord, Jesus the Christ, AMEN.

If you would be so kind and pass this teaching along I’m sure the Lord would appreciate it!
