My children, today I want to download into you My love, My agape love. It is the love that contains the mercy, grace, patience, hope, and peace that you need in this time so that you can pour it out on those you meet and have contact with.

The world will get harder to deal with as the demons get bigger and more dominant in people that are yielding to what they want to do. The more they are turning their backs on Me and walking away the darker they become and the light will not be found within them. For you to be a light to shine upon them and disperse the darkness you are going to have to carry this love that I have to give you today. There is much freedom I want to give to the lost, but in order for you to become a vessel I will use, you must be a carrier of My agape love.

To carry this love you are going to have to have a changed mindset and life. You cannot be selfish, judgmental or full of anger and bitterness. My agape love will not abide with any of these things. You will have to let go of these things once and for all to be able to receive this gift I have for you today.

My children, there is still so much self that needs to be crucified. My Spirit inside you needs to be resurrected from the hiding place that you have kept it, only using it when it is convenient. It cannot be all about you. You must, must walk in My love in order to carry out the assignments that I have for you. You cannot minister to the lost and dying unless you know how to carry My love. If you continue to hold onto self it will stand in your way.

You say, “But Lord, I have been dying out to self.” You have been doing it your way according to your understanding. You have been picking and choosing what you want to work on and making your own judgments on what is wrong with you. You have been loving others based on your own philosophy. You choose how to display love by going with your own emotions, feelings and senses. You have been barely getting by with this and you will not be able to anymore.

You are going to have to seek Me and allow Me to do ALL the work that needs to be done. You are going to have to cooperate with me FULLY. Allow Me to show you what needs to be changed without shame, guilt, embarrassment or deception. If you are serious about allowing Me to help you crucify the flesh you will have to walk in freedom. You will have to remain close to me in order to receive all the gifts that I am going to give you. You will need them to get through what is ahead and still walk in the calling that I have for you.

Without My agape love, you will not be able to love others the way you should. You need to be diligently seeking My face about how you love others and how I want you to love them. I want you to stop leaning to your own understanding and allow Me to share my insight with you. You are going to have to stop walking in what you want to believe is Me and begin to walk in the reality of Me.

Obedience and love go hand in hand. You show Me your love by being obedient. This is required if you are going to show others the love I have shown you and if you are to accomplish all that I have asked you to do.

Let go of your perceptions and see through My eyes. Let Me do the complete work that needs to be done, right now, today. I will do this and give you the gift of My agape love. Then I want you to seek Me so I can reveal how you can use it effectively.

This is a gift that I want to give you. The true gift of My agape love will change your life forever as well as those around you when it takes form and matures. When you begin to use it as I intend, you will see many souls change in the blink of an eye. Many knees will bow before Me in repentance as these souls receive Me as their true God and king.

In this gift of love there is more power than your mind can comprehend. So remember that you must allow Me to do the work first and then allow the love to grow. My agape love will become a part of you as you follow the steps I have given you.

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:9-13)

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39)

“If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died.” (Romans 14:15)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness” (Galatians 5:22)

“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight in love” (Ephesians 1:4)

“so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19)
