BLESSINGS FROM BEING IMITATORS OF GOD'S LOVE

My Dear Precious Child, In Paul's letter to the believers at Ephesus, he amplified the truth in his former letters to churches that spoke of the believers becoming Love in a dark world. He enlarged that truth by saying that they must BE LOVE as imitators of My character, which is Love. The greatest example is Christ Jesus who gave himself for all humanity as an offering to Me, a gift of aromatic pleasure. Then Paul contrasted His loving gift by contrasting it with lewd conduct of promiscuity or lust of any kind, asking that they not even be mentioned among believers because My holiness forbids it. Not only did Paul speak negatively of lustful actions, but he also discouraged obscene, silly, suggestive talk, meaning all that is out of place in the light of day. Instead of speaking about lustful acts or speech, he suggested that thanksgiving should replace them. In relation to My kingdom of heaven of Christ, no fornicator, unclean, lustful person -- in essence being an idolator -- has any inheritance with Me in My pure, loving Kingdom. Paul made it very clear in simple terms that there are no just arguments about the truth that you should have nothing to do with those sins that bring My wrath down upon the demons who foster them, thus by osmosis condemning the people who follow the temptations of the devil to do them. He wrote not to have anything to do with those thoughts, speech and actions. They do not descend from My Love. (Ephesians 5:1-7) Paul reminded the Gentile Ephesians that they were formerly in darkness, participating in such filthy activities, but he emphasized that they now lived in the Light, producing every kind of goodness, justice and truth. He wrote that they must be correct in their discernment of what pleases Me, taking no part in vain deeds that take place in the dark. He said they should even condemn such practices because it is shameful to even speak about those actions done in secret. He said that bringing them to the light by condemning them will cause them to be seen in the light of day and then all of those actions will be seen in view of the Light. He quoted the prophet Isaiah who wrote, "Awake, O sleeper, arise from the dead and Christ will give you Light!" (Isaiah 60:1) The advice from Paul was that the believers should keep a constant vigil over their own mind and conduct so that they would not become fools but instead become thoughtful men. His advice also included that they must, in the sinful world in which they lived, take advantage of every opportunity to refute evil and choose good. Their actions must be in tune with My will in every matter. He emphasized that they should not get drunk with wine but instead to be filled with the Holy Spirit, addressing each other in psalms, hymns and inspired songs, singing praises to Me with all of their hearts. His cure for refuting sinful sexual actions was to sing praises to Me with your whole heart for everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He instructed them in communal meetings to defer to one another out of reverence to Christ because He lives in all believers. (Ephesians 5:15-21) As was formerly revealed in other writings to other churches, in the letter to the Ephesians Paul gave a short but definite synopsis of the thoughts, meditations and actions in which My children must engage and ones in which they must disengage. In other words, he listed the temptations of the devil which must be disobeyed and condemned and he listed My guidance and instructions which must be obeyed in order to remain in My kingdom of God with all of My marvelous and loving gifts, rewards and blessings. Light cannot participate in darkness. If you participate in darkness you will dispel My Light. If you participate in My Light, you will dispel the devil's darkness. It's a simple truth that Paul wrote, the same one that the prophets spoke about choosing either good or evil, blessings or curses. It's the same truth that Jesus Christ spoke about when He taught His disciples to pray that I would deliver them from evil. I did when I gave to them the power of My Holy Spirit. (Matthew 6:13; John 16:12-13) Paul wrote the same truths to the churches of Corinth, Rome, Thessalonika, Galatia,Colossae and Philippi that he wrote to the Ephesians. Yet, in his letter to the Ephesians he wrote truths in more easily understood, concise words. In his letter to the Ephesians Paul did not lament about his unjust treatment by the other apostles which resulted in his attempts to justify his apostolic calling from Me. Eventually, by revelation from Me, Paul was convinced of the value of My calling on his life by the time he wrote his letter to the believers at Ephesus so he prioritized amplifying Truth in that letter.
