3-July-2022_Love-Word-Power

[On the “Round, Round Room” dream ML: ] 

(Jesus speaking: ) You need love, the Word, and the power source in order to do your job right. Take one of these basic elements away and you get disaster; a work unfinished, a work cut off. 
You can’t just thumb the Bible and get prophecies, but have not active love to share with others. Neither can you just get filled with the Spirit of God and go around sharing love, living on the fumes or aroma of it, without having the Word to keep you standing—or you will wither like the seeds on the stony soil that had no roots or source of sap and fuel. Neither can you just have actions of love and the Word of God, what He said to others before, without getting your daily instructions from the one who is trying to bring this operation of world evangelism to a head and wrap it up for now. You need all three. They are inseparable. 
--Love and Loyalty to Christ must come first.
--Love and sacrifice for others—for your brethren, and for the lost—is a vital part of our love together, and must be lived out.
--And neither of these commands can be carried out and enacted without a connection to the source of power, the Spirit, the source of the Word. Word is Spirit; Word is life; Word is light.

(Jesus speaking: ) Yes, My darling, there always will be a separation when you are working with various members of the clan of Christ. Some are to be “seen of men” and others aren’t afraid of raw power. You can’t have both—you can’t be displayed high and thought of as glorious, and have the full power of God running through you. You must be humble and low down and your cord cut short so you are forced to sit really close to the power source and get your light from God alone. To get it from the light shining through the dome is like getting your “high” from the effects of the Word, rather than right from the Word of God itself. You bask in the effects of the light, rather than being a low down and humble transmitter. And yes it separates you, because high and lofty doesn’t go together with lowlyness of mind. Which is just what you need if you are to be a light transmitter of live power.]

(Jesus speaking: ) The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few, and often over worked. It’s easier to sit around and talk about the Gospel of Christ, rather than rolling up your sleaves and taking part of the light spreading mission. If you are content to take in the water of life, but rather reluctant to pour it out, because you are busy being a “show case” then the water sits in you and beautifies your life, and you can be cheery for others to look at, but they don’t get the light or the water that is needed to help them see their way clearly. It’s not enough to get the word in you, you have to light up too, you need the Holy Spirit, the power to make you useful, not just a pretty nice Christian that plays by the rules of what a “good little boy” should or should not be doing.

(Jesus speaking: ) You have to be willing to be placed where you can get infused with Heaven’s light, or you’ll fade in glory when the darkness sets in. It’s like the women with their lamps in the sunshine, but they didn’t trim and oil their lamps, so when it was midnight they didn’t have light. It’s easy to think the sun will always shine. It looks so big and solidly in place, but times change, and night falls. Those who were wise put oil in their lamps even when all seemed bright and beautiful. That’s what it means to be wise: to not just go by the outward appearance, but to know what is not seen, and to take action and be prepared. 
Lamps with oil, lamps with electricity all mean filled with the power of God for the dark days. The more lamps that are fully connected are going to be able to shine brightly when things do get dark and those “seen of men” works can’t flourish any more. Pure and hot alive power right from the source is what will be needed. And it will be hard to fit the lamps and position them if it’s not done when the light all around is shining. 
That’s why you can’t say, “Later I’ll get closer to the source; for now I’d like to just bask in the light of accomplishment to be seen of men.” If you wait until later to get hooked up, you might have a hard time finding where to plug in, and will stumble around in the dark trying. And if you don’t assist those trying to hook up to the power source, the fresh and alive Words of the King in your heart and mind, then you’ll be in want later on, whenever you choose to at last get hooked up, because you hindered or stopped others from getting hooked up and plugged in, though it seemed pointless in the day time. 
Why couldn’t the wise virgins share the oil? Because the point of the story is that each one needs their own source of power, their own individual connection. Just like a lamp can’t share a power cord with another, each one needs their own personal connection to the King. They can shed light, but it’s like saying “I’ll share salvation with you”. You can’t do that. Each one needs their own permission slip, their own invitation to Heaven. You can’t give it, only God can. Just like you can’t give the Holy Spirit, only God can—but you can point the way and ask in prayer for them to be “hooked up” good and close to the Father of Light.
