Living Love... In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (Joh 1:4-5) KJV The Right-hand of the Lord...
It was an extreme and overwhelming love. It was an all consuming love, which filled my whole being with life.
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. (Gen 3:8) KJV
Then, when I could hold it in no longer, I bust out into tongues of excitement. Then I heard the interpretation of the tongue...
On the morning of May 24th, 2008, as I walked into
The Song of the LORD...
the most beautiful park to spend time with the Lord, I sensed how the Lord, very gently took my hand. I clearly sensed how my hand was gently touched. I remained calm and still and just kept walking up and down in the park, praying in tongues and worshipping the Lord Jesus. Then the Lord said to me: “Just walk with Me in the garden!”
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. (Zep 3:17) KJV
“I twirl around in exuberant joy because of you!”
Sometimes we think that we know
God or we understand Jesus Christ. Jesus once said: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Joh 17:3) True live comes from knowing God and Jesus Christ. True relationship comes from knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ His son.
I knew that the Lord did not want me to pray in tongues or even pray. He wanted me to just enjoy His presence. My heart swell with joy and satisfaction as the Lord’s presence just kept filling me up. It was as if something inside of me, which was dead, became alive again. Something, which I never knew was there, became alive and aware of the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. My joy just kept building until I could not hold it in anymore. I just wanted to shout with joy. My stomach was filled with butterflies and I experienced the intense Love of God the Father.
I sensed that the Lord was rejoicing and was exceedingly glad. Then as I prayed in tongues I heard the interpretation of the tongue: “I twirl around in exuberant joy because of you!”

taken to Solomon’s harem. These are the words that she said about her beloved: “I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. (Son 6:3) KJV
I dared not question God! Who was I to question God? I felt like I was going to explode or bust open, because the love God was overwhelming. I started to weep deep from with in. Fear whelmed up in me as I thought how a great and awesome God can speak to me in this way!
The love between the shepherd and the Shumminite was real and passionate.
Then I continued to listen to the Holy Spirit deep from within me. I continued hearing the interpretation of the tongue as I was encouraged by the Lord. I started to weep, because never before has anyone believed so much in me. I was overwhelmed with amazement and dared not question God’s love, which I experienced tangibly. God’s Love was real!
I can still remember the first time I met my wife. Just one look of her eyes and my heart melted. From the moment I saw her the first time I did everything I could to spend more time with her. I could not stop thinking about her every moment of the day. I was in love and not even wild horses could keep me away from her.
Then the Holy Spirit continued in joy: “You are my beloved in you I am well pleased!”
We got married, two and a half years ago. My wife said to me in the words of Ruth: “…Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.” (Ruth 1:16) KJV
Covenant Language... What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? (Son 5:9) KJV
God’s love for us is real. God’s love for us is passionate and intimate. Understanding the Love of God with your head or with your heart...
Then the Lord continued: “My beloved is mine and I am my beloveds!”
Many
people who grew up in a Christian home know about the love of God, but might never have experienced the love of God. We can be taught a great deal about the Love of God, but still not being able to grasp the Love of God. Paul prayed that the Ephesian churches: “...May be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and the length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph 3:17-19) KJV
I immediately recognized the language that the Lord spoke. I have heard this language before in the book of Song of Songs. These were the same words that the Shumminite women said about her beloved shepherd. This is the most intimate language between two lovers. All the women in Solomon’s harem had charged her and questioned her as to what is so special about her beloved? The Shumminite woman was betrothed to a shepherd in Gilead before she was

with singing; actually has a beautiful picture hidden in it, which will change the way we view the God of heaven and our Father.
Paul explained that the Love of God actually goes past knowledge. God can not only be loved by knowledge of Him. If we do not know the Love of the Father we do yet know God as we should know Him. Even John the Lord’s beloved disciple said: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1Jn 2:15) KJV
Putting the Hebrew words in a more descriptive language, they sound like this: “He will rejoice [be cheerful or be glad] over thee with joy [blithesomeness or glee]. he will rest [engrave, plough] in his love, he will joy [spin around under the influence] over thee with singing [shout (of joy)]!
God never intended for us to only love God with understanding, but God wants us to actually experience the Love of Father in side of us. John is not saying the ‘Love for the Father’, but the ‘Love of the Father’.
In other words put by the Holy Spirit: “I twirl around in exuberant joy because of you!” Spiritual idolatry…
Paul the Apostles once said to the Romans: “Through Him also we have [our] access into this grace [state of God’s favor] in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God!” (Rom 5:2) Amp
They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. (Deu 32:16-17) KJV
God wants us to enjoy His love and presence as He walks with us through our lives. Hebrew vs. English... The original language in which the Old Testament was written was Hebrew. The bible was translated into the English language only many thousands of years later. Hebrew is a language of pictures and is much more descriptive in many ways than any other language in the world. Thus one word can paint a picture which describes something to a more accurate degree.
As
the Lord Jesus revealed His love to me the Lord’s love also revealed my heart to me. Then the word of the Lord came to me: “If people only knew My love they would not desire anything or anyone else, but Me!” The Holy Spirit continued: “Any ministry or service of God, which is not based on the Love of the Father, that is, a true understanding and experience of the Love of the Father, is an idol!”
All my life I have been a very analytical and methodical person. In all the revelations the Lord gave me the Lord spoke in a very definite way and never in confusion.
I realized how many times I have wanted to do things for God out of knowledge. Paul even explained it like this, saying: “Knowledge puff up, but love build up!” (1 Cor 8:1) NIV
The scripture; “…he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee

Lord Jesus Christ. We choose to love at a distance or to love from the heart. This the difference between a life of sacrifice or a sacrificial life to Christ who loved us so much more than we can truly comprehend.
God is calling us to love Him and then all other service will flow by the power of the Holy Spirit. The True battle...
Will you be stiff-necked and refuse to forgive, becoming bitter allowing hate to rule in your heart? Or will you love God with all that is with in you?
In that day [the LORD will deliver Israel from her enemies and also the rebel powers of evil and darkness] with His sharp and unrelenting, great and strong sword will punish
Return to your First Love... But_ I have [this] against you, that you left your First love! (Rev 2:4-5) ALT
We as a generation have fallen away from our First Love. God is calling us back to our first love for Him. Then the Lord proclaimed the greatness of His Love for all mankind whom He has made saying: “I will punish you to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but I will show My Loving kindness to a thousand generations!” Then the Spirit opened my understanding that God only punishes to the third and fourth generations, but that He will show His love to a thousand generations.
leviathan the swiftly fleeing serpent, leviathan twisting and winding serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. (Isa 27:1) KJV
This was the word of the Lord God to Moses in the desert: “I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation. But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws. (Exo 20:5-6) GNB
P
aul said: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Eph 6:12) KJV
God is jealous for the Love of His people. Only one who truly love is jealous for His partner. Have you ever realized that God will love you to a thousand generations for loving Him? God is righteous and must punish sin and injustice, but will show His loving kindness to you for loving Him.
Inside each of us is a great battle is going on everyday. We must choose whether we will love God and our neighbor as ourselves. We also choose what we believe about this Loving God and Father of our

In conclusion God said to Jeremiah the prophet: The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. (Jer 31:3) KJV God reveals His love...
T
wo days after the day the Lord revealed His love to me in the Park, while in church, on Sunday, God revealed Himself to thousands of people in the same way He revealed Himself to me. While we were worshipping and praising the Lord the presence of God filled the building and that same deep, passionate love filled our inner beings. I immediately recognize the Love of the Father, which He had revealed to me only two days ago. Then the senior pastor’s wife went up and prophesied that God is revealing His passionate love to His people. Many people started weeping in church. Some even laughed because of the Love of God that heal and set us free from all iniquity. God is about to reveal His love to mankind in a real and tangible way all over the earth. For only this love will motive us to stay faithful to God. I praise the God of Heaven who appeared also to me so that I may be a witness of His lovingkindness. May God bless you and reveal His everlasting love to you. From the director: The Witness
