My Lord speaks: “Dance with My love. Allow Me to romance you. I am your sure foundation under your feet. I am above you in My glory cloud. I am in you. My glory is in you. I am in you, you are in Me. We are one as My Father and I are one. I have longed for this degree of intimacy with you from the beginning of time. As your spirit delights to be in My presence, Mine delights to be in yours. I wait for you. I adore you. All I want is you – all of you, that I can give you Me – all of Me.

Have you noticed that the New Testament says a lot about Pharisees? They are not mentioned in the Old Testament. How many Pharisees do you think have actually read the New Testament? Wasn’t it written for Christians? Yet they are mentioned so many times. Could it be that these references and warnings were really targeted at you? Have you ever seen the same impulses and traits in your fellow believers? The Bible is my general and universal law. It provides warnings that are common to all. I warned my own followers to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees which was hypocrisy. By inference you may assume this warning applies to everyone.

You have heard that cleanliness is next to godliness. This is possibly the most famous Bible verse that isn’t really in the Bible. Yet there is an easily understood parallel. You know that cleanliness must be a regular habit to be effective. It is not a single event, or something that can be attended to sporadically, but good hygiene will not secure your entrance to the Kingdom of God. Godliness is also a matter of habit and consistency. In the terminology of the Kingdom it is called faithfulness. If someone is not diligent about their hygiene it quickly becomes obvious in an unpleasant way. In like manner I notice when you are not diligent about godliness.

I told people to repent lest some worse thing befall them. Do you view this statement in a negative way, that things will continue to get worse unless you change? You could view the same principle in a positive way, that I begin with gentle and mild methods of correction. I do not escalate the methods unless it is necessary to do so. Have you seen this principle in effect in your own life when you face serious consequences for your faults? Are you aware that you could have avoided these if you had dealt with the situation earlier? Respond to my gentle promptings and I will have no need to use stronger measures to correct you. 

“I am here, Lord. I wait for You. I fix my eyes on You. What is it You want to show me and speak to me today, Lord? What is it You want to speak to me about [name of individual who is on my heart]?”

My word teaches you how to deal with your enemies. It also teaches you to be a peacemaker. Do you realize that these are the same thing? You don’t make peace by dealing with your friends. If you say that you have no enemies you deceive yourself. Do you think of enemies only as those who are opposed to righteousness, regardless of how they treat you? Yet I told you to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you that you may be the children of your Father in heaven. This is what I did and I want you to follow my example as a child of God. 

Today, I am sharing with you more on the subject of holiness, which came to me through Ray Broad,

True scientists are observers of the natural world. The foundational principles of science are observation and generalization so natural laws such as gravity, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism are accepted because they work rather than being derived from more basic principles. My laws are set forth in my word. You can accept their validity by faith as revealed truth, but do you not also see by observation that they work? Have you ever seen the righteous forsaken? I encourage you to perform your own experiments. Live according to my principles and see what happens. 

"If the church, the light of the world, does not believe for revival and restoration, then have they not ceased to be the light of the world? God has healed our nation in the past and He can again today.

Do you affirm the principle of political equality? This states that all men are created equal. In practice you know that this is not mathematical equality, for all people are not the same, but it means that the same rules should apply to all, and no one should get special treatment due to their status or office. Do you understand that there is a Biblical equivalent? In my word I tell you not to seek to be called rabbi or teacher, for you all have one teacher, even Christ. This applies to other offices as well. I need people to hold positions in my church, but I want them to do it as servants, not lording their positions over others, but serving with humility and grace.
