The Least of These

Widows and orphans, outcasts, undesirable ones... at the time when Jesus spoke of:
"The least of these"

Poor, unrepaired home or homeless, hungry, begging or prostituting or scavenging, unprotected, no provider, inadequate clothing, sick, starving, dirty, tattered, smelly, outcast, "unclean", shunned, abused, injured, unloved, afraid, thieves, jailed, slaves, servants, worst of jobs, lacking education, lacking animals for sacrifice, unwelcome in synagogue.

"The least of these" are the faces/manifestations/presences of God.

Matthew 25:40 KJV
[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.



Matthew 25:34-45 KJV
[34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee ? [39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: [43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

[44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me

Imagine Me Worthy

You have heard Me.  You have followed Me.  You have sought to be obedient.  Now I urge you to follow on to know Me.

Seek Me eagerly and you will find Me to be your lover, your best friend.  Your husband is a shadow and a sign to you.  In him you see Me, but through a glass, darkly.  Imagine a thousand and thousands times more joy, more earnest love, more more more ... Imagine Me worthy of your love and adoration.  Sing to Me a new song: open your heart.  Seek Me early and you will find Me.

Never Alone

I am both healer and healing.  Remember this concerning salvation of body, mind and soul.  But I have made you to be a spiritual blessing among many spirits made to be one body of Jesus.  As a woman absorbs her husband's seed into her very being, so that his DNA can be found to reside within and as her; so does the spiritual body of Christ Jesus become a part of you -- an indwelling, living, changing , and unifying force that can respond to the name of One.

You have been exulted to righteousness by the cleansing of the spirit of Jesus within you.  Your spirit is no longer your own; for it has been joined to Jesus and by being joined to Him you have been made one with all of the saints and believers.  This is His bride; my daughter.  I could no more send you out away from me than I could send my Son, for we have been made one in Him.  He has seeded you with Himself and so my essence dwells in you and you are mine.

It is not difficult to understand that only those who choose to be changed in Christ, My Son, are one bride unto Him, or that only these shall be called the sons of God.  A true bride goes willingly in to her husband's chambers knowing she will be changed.  She is willing to give up her identity as an individual accountable to none and joined to none.  If she is raped and forced to the bedroom of her groom, she has not chosen unity.  She will eagerly escape from the bonds of her enforced marriage and reject the seed planted within her.  She will neither water nor nourish it, that it might be ineffective within her.  The true wife welcomes the life that is planted into her very being by her groom.  She prepares herself for His coming in unto her and eagerly moves and works as his right arm.  They have become complete, one.

Those who do not choose to marry their saviour will be brought in by fire.  These are reconciled unto Me.  Death eludes them, for they have been made righteous in My Son, but they have not chosen him as husband, and He cannot rape to bring in a bride.  These are the citizens of the kingdom, created as was Adam in purity and in the image of the living God.  They walk freely on the blackboard of creation as did Adam and Eve, but they shall not enter into My rest because they rejected the offer of such great love when it was given unto them with pleading and gifts and suffering.

You ask, "Is faith not a gift?"  I say to you again that the bride looks eagerly for her bridegroom, and when she spies him among the lilies and the roses she calls out to him, "Art thou the bridegroom who my soul seeks?"  All who seek shall find and it shall be given unto them to have eyes to see and ears to hear and faith to believe what they can scarcely dare to believe.  For you are mine for delights, My beloved.  I sought you tenderly and you came looking for your love.  You did not desire to be left alone to follow your own way but desired that which is better.

So now, beloved, rest in My peaceful presence and be amazed at My plans for you, which though they might be heavy for a moment are filled with eternal grace.  You shall never be alone.  We are One.
