BLESSED ARE THE TIES THAT BIND YOU IN LOVE

My Dear Precious Child, In the last teaching to His disciples Jesus Christ spoke primarily about the unity of love. He said that instead of the old Jewish commandments according to the laws of Moses, His one and only commandment was that you love one another. (John 13:33-35) He called it a new commandment, one not given before in any laws. He said that His followers would be evidence of being His disciples when they showed love for one another. The next thing He said about love is that if they loved Him that they would keep His commandments and He would ask Me to send to them another Advocate to be with them forever, the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive. They did not know that the next commandment that He gave to them would be to go to Jerusalem and wait for what I had promised, which was the Holy Spirit coming to live inside of them. He told them that they only had the Holy Spirit with them because He lived inside of Jesus Christ, but that when the Holy Spirit came to them that He would live inside of them. (John 14:15-21) Also in the last teaching of Jesus about loving one another, He taught them that anyone who keeps His commandments will be the person who loves Him, that he also will be loved by Me and I will reveal Myself to the person. (John 14:21) Judas asked Jesus if he was going to show himself to them but not to the world? Jesus' answer was that if anyone would keep His word that person is someone who loves Him and makes a home for Him in them. He said that I would make sure that the Holy Spirit would teach them everything. He also told them that there was no reason for them to be afraid because He was going away into heaven to sit down with Me. He told those disciples that if they really loved Him that they would be happy for Him to be going into My heaven. He said that the enemy had no power over Him because the world must be brought to know that He loves Me and that He was doing exactly what the Father had told him to do. (John 14:29-31) Jesus Christ continued in His teaching about My love when He said that if they remained in His love and kept His commandment that they would remain in His love. He said that their joy would be complete if they remained in His love. Then Jesus Christ repeated again His admonition, saying that if they kept his commandments that they remained in His love so that their joy would be complete, saying that His commandment was that they love one another just as he had loved them, also saying that a person who loves Him must display the fruit of that love to the world. (John 15:16-17) He said that the people in the world would hate them because it hated Him and that if they belonged to the world that those people of the world also would hate Him. (John 15:18-19) In addition to those admonitions, Jesus Christ said that I loved His disciples because they loved Him and believed that He had come from Me. His explanation of the depth of His love for them was because He loved them from the foundation of the world. He said that He had made My name known to His disciples and that He would continue to make it known so that the love with which I loved Him might be in them, and then that Christ would be in them. (John 17:26) Those many explanations of My love for them was a new commandment because My Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Love. It was going to come and live inside of them when they became born again and it was going to surround them in a cloud of witnesses to enable them to become baptized in My Holy Spirit constantly in order for them to cover the earth with My love and the knowledge of My love. He was preparing My children for the changes which were to come when My Kingdom of God came to earth on the day of the feast of Pentecost and still comes to earth when a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit in your days on earth, just as you were when your joy became complete, just like Jesus prophesied. (John 15:11) Your Father of Divine Joy
