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

Could I do this?

I am your friend, Ishi.  I am your best friend ...your ""bestie".  You need no other besides me.  When you look at the people in your life, see Me.  Hear Me.  I am in them to love you.  I am a voice inside all man.  I am the life of all who live and breathe within My creation, which is in Me.  I spoke and it is.  As it has always been, so is My existence now.  I have not changed.  I am neither white nor black nor young nor old nor slave nor free.  I am neither Hebrew, nor Armenian, nor Iranian, nor you; but all and in all.  There is no division within Me -  only One good and true, perfect artistic expression of My self-love and honor within all.  The evil you see is merely a colour on a page that is fantastically beautiful in its end.  I would not create anything less than perfection.  How can I be accused of making a people, an earth, a world where everything will end up ugly and mangled beyond My control?  Could I do this?  Could I create an ungoverned universe and still exist in all places with all sovereignty and perfect control?  Explain to Me how I should do this?  Did I not die to unify all in My perfection?  Did I not know the end from the beginning BEFORE the middle occurred?  Oh how arrogant the mind of My people who think they exist apart from me.  Apart from Me you would have been nothing.

Do you see?  You are no accident.  You have not bent my plan out of shape by your behaviours.  You cannot be lost to Me because you only exist by Me.  

We are One.  We Are One!  I will live My perfect life by you.  I have expressed My glorious being by you.  I will always be what I will be in the fabric of My own created One.  I Am, unchanging, as One who is always the same.  You don't change My mind, my pleasure, My heart, My soul.  We are one Word spoken and so we are.

Rest assured that what is true for one is also true for another.  We shall not be bound to any but Father, Truth, Life, Eternally Faithful,, Wise One, Counsellor, Friend, Essense (Fabric) of all.  I spoke who He is and I Am and We Are.  It can be no other way.  There is no otherworldly  reality and no other way in which we could be "saved".  I say we because from the beginning I Am already One with you.  We exist because He is.  We are in Him and He in us, so we are One breath, One life, one purpose.  Yes we are Purpose and every part has its role.  Rejoice in the head and know the heart.  I love you.
I think about what it would be like to be sitting here and have our house and town bombed.  I think of the toddler pulled from beneath the broken concrete slabs and rubble of his home in Aleppo.  

You are only seeing the middle.  There is no separation of end from beginning.  I am all and in all.  Take heart, little One.  Do not look for an end, but for eternity to be revealed in you.  I Am.  This is the truth, the ONLY TRUTH you must needs know is that I AM, and that you are in Me.



I close my eyes and I see no longer The two friends who are in the room with me, but God's plan in action ...being worked out in eternity.  I see Him.

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.

If You Cry Like a Baby

I am here to comfort you in all things. You are right to seek my comfort in this way. It is not a small thing to approach your God for assistance; this is the very fabric of your being in which form you were made. The infant cries out for nurture, comfort, companionship, food, clothing, cleansing, recreation, So too do I desire that you return to your first love. I am Love and I knew you before you were born. While still in the womb, I carried you. Love is not a promise to keep you from the slings and arrows of the world. I Am Love to whom you can cry out and from whom you can expect comfort, soothing ointments, immeasurable truths: that you might walk upright in the world undefeated by oppressive thoughts and victorious in purity of thought before the enemy.  

I am here to be your peace, if you will let me. So said the prophets: that my Son shall be known by the peace of my people. Those who have no trials do not need to seek my peace. These are content in the world and find no need of me. But you have been tried, and by trial you are found blameless because you seek my assistance, the blood death and resurrection of my Son.  

I am ever with my people; my chosen ones are ever aware of me their Righteousness. They do not seek to do, of their own strength. As an infant they understand that their only hope is to cry out to the One who is greater than they, and by relying they find the provision of their every need that they might grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. They are changed by my perfect care -- my perfect supply of all their needs. I do not give substandard care. My children grow up into Me, where they belong. All I ask is to be sought after.

Cry out like the infant unto Me and declare your trust in praise and songs of adoration. I will feed you beside still waters. I will restore your soul.

Jesus Christ speaking in our heart

I the LORD your God am asking My people to want Me more than all others.  I want to be wanted for Myself alone, not for what I can give you.  I meet all your needs .  You have nothing that you need out of Me.  Nothing will satisfy you other than an intimate relationship with Me.  Give Me first place in your heart and give Me the praise and honour due unto My name.  All spiritual riches are given to you in the person of My Son Jesus Christ.  There is nothing you need to acquire other than Him. 

I AM the LORD who loves you with unfailing love.  A man who talks of himself is seeking his own glory.  Keep your mind and heart focused on Jesus Christ.  Let your daily conversation be in heaven from whence comes your salvation.  Speak from God.  Listen to God with your heart open to  Me.   Give up all thought of self and self worth apart from who I AM. 

My intent and purpose is to fill all things in heaven and in earth with My Son Jesus Christ, that God may be all and in all. My plan is for My Son to be glorified, not the flesh race man Adam. 

Keep focused on Christ alone.  Keep your eye single seeing Christ only being formed in all to be all.  To those who look for My soon coming, to those who believe I AM precious, to those I will come again to be glorified and admired in them.  I invite you to be among them. 

Be still to My all being.  For you to live is Christ.  For you are dead and your life as you knew it to be is hid with God in Christ.  Do not be ignorant of this great truth of I AM.  I have come to set you free of yourself.  If Jesus sets you free you are free indeed!  Give praise to God  - it is finished!
