Love That Moves Forward

Emily Ladley

Intimacy with Me cannot be made in a hurry.
Revelation will not be received in a hurry.
Trust cannot be built in a hurry.
Love cannot be cultivated in a hurry.
Hurried flesh is extremely dangerous.

Intimacy with Me is your goal, right?
Your life would be tasteless, if you don’t have intimacy with Me.

Revelation from Me is your desire, isn’t it?
Your life would be parched with dread, if you don’t have revelations from Me.

Trust from Me is your treasure, is it not?
Your life would be devastatingly lonely, if you don’t have trust from Me.

Love from Me is your lifeline, you know?
Your life would be a torment in fear, if you don’t have love from Me.

Hurried flesh is extremely dangerous.

Human striving, anxiousness, and fear are attracted to hurried flesh.
Any time you feel like you have to hurry,
any time you feel the urge to make something happen immediately right now,
otherwise, you would be in trouble, oh, you are in the danger zone.

You need to get out of the danger zone of hurried flesh, and come to Me.
Come to Me and sit with Me by the stream of peace.
And be in this place of rest. Be with Me.
Breathe in the rhythm of the stream. Breathe with Me.
Believe in your Best Friend Shepherd. Believe in Me.      

With the best interest at heart for you,
the best solution at hand for you,
I wait for you to look at My eyes.
I wait until you allow Me to love on you.

Even the tiniest trust you give Me, I am delighted. I get to give to you.
As a Giver of Life, giving gives Me more pleasure than you know.

Receiving My love is the beginning of your extraordinary life.

Heaven is made of love! You are made for love!
We get to bring heaven together!

When you are immersed in My eyes,
And swim in My heart, You know how I do all things in love.
And I invite you to move together with Me in love.

The gentle quiet stream of peace, flowing at heaven’s pace.
Can you sense My pulsing joy?
Can you seize the explosive hope of My plan?
Can you see My love that is passionately moving forward?

This is the place you find intimacy that I so long to have with you.
This is the place you receive clarity of the next step for you to take.
This is the place you gain trust from Me.
This is the place you discover that all you need was, is, and will be always available.
This is the place you understand why I am Love.

The gentle quiet stream of peace, flowing at heaven’s pace.

Can you sense My pulsing joy?
Can you seize the explosive hope of My plan?
Can you see My love that is passionately moving forward?
Then All You Do Will Prosper
The precious intimacy we have is the generator of Life. It radiates brightly on the earth.
Let My light of love burst in you.

Receive. Receive. Receive. Receive My love. Keep receiving.

Let your cup overflow. Let the love we have, you and I, let it overflow!
I know you love Me. You know that I love you.
Nothing can stop this love. No, not even your failures.

You now know that My love for you is not conditional.
Your flesh-led failures always meet My creative beauty in grace.
My sovereign solution you experience always makes you in awe.  

Every time you come to Me, My heart, oh, My heart is filled with affectionate love for you.
There is nothing I would not do for you that is good for you.

Who said you have to earn My love?

Well, forgive them. For they don’t know Me.
If they did, they would not strive to be approved by Me.
Who was angry when you couldn’t meet their expectations?
Well, forgive them. Their standard is not My standard.
They may have worldly authority over you, but they don’t have authority to override Me.
You have all the authority you need to fulfill My call.  

Remember, love is the strongest. Love always wins.

Love forgives. Love is kind. You kindly extend mercy toward those who don’t know love.
You and I show up together. Yes, show up! Show up together, and you let Me overflow you.
You let Me smile. You let Me speak. You let Me serve.

I am lowly. I am kind. I am love.

No man or spirit possesses the power to change who I am.
I do not give any power to anyone to change My personality, My character, or the way I do things.
I know who I am, and I know My ways. I never lose who I am. Neither do you.
Do not give away any power to anyone to change your ways or your behaviors.
Do not give away who you are in Me.

Because you and I are one in spirit, I can show who I am with you.
I can show who I am in you. I can show who I am through you.

Keep receiving My love. Keep receiving. Yes, keep receiving from this resting place.

Then. Then, all you do will prosper.
Then, and then, all you say will shift the atmosphere.
Then, and then, all you see will move your heart with love and hope.

You and I are one in spirit. Let your cup overflow.
You never need to fear the future.
Only goodness and tender love will chase you, all the days of your life.

Your Assignment: Playfulness

When your life is through, you will be with Me all the time. Forever.
Why not enjoy My glorious presence right now?
Is there a greater honor to Me than for you to choose to be with Me,
enjoy being in My presence, and doing what I love to do with you,
while you can only see Me through your faith eyes on earth?

I want you to laugh with Me. Have fun with Me. I am playful.
When you rest in Me, you know how playful you and I can become.

Be in a mode of celebration of heaven all the time!

Regardless of what is going on, rejoice!
Sing and dance and laugh out loud in My presence!

You can tell when you are NOT resting in Me.

You would be intense, serious, noticing what is NOT right,
and you have something to say about that. Something judgmental with no compassion.  
What you are saying may be right,
but the heavenly atmosphere vanishes by the religious righteousness.

When such people are there where you are, do not match your spirit with their spirit.
Do not let their spirit influence you.
Instead, consciously, attentively, focus your eyes on Me and My love.

Remember, love has the most authority in heaven and on earth.

Keep resting in love. And let love overflow your cup.
Let My love overflow and touch others’ spirit.
You can influence others with the heavenly reality of love, when you live rested in love.

Assignment to you:

Be imparted playfulness from Me, as you enjoy celebrating with Me, so that love can overtake human striving around you.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
