BLESSED BY TRUTH INFUSIONS
My Dear Precious Child,
The apostle/disciple John, who referred to himself as the one whom Jesus loved, was not shy to share his love for everyone, men as well as women in the church. His main focus was always love because he had so completely discerned the Divine Love that Jesus Christ had shared with him, the kind that forgives all sin, overlook differences, bears the burden of others and understands that the flesh of people is controlled by evil spirits so the actions of flesh are not always the actions of the real person who lives inside of himself or herself.
In John's third letter which was written to Gaius, he addressed him as "Beloved," and wrote that he wished good health on his disciple and that he hoped that Gaius was thriving in all other areas of life as well as he was thriving in the Spirit, which was a real compliment to the disciple. John even wrote that it had come to his knowledge that the disciple was truly walking in the path of truth and that nothing delighted John more than to hear that some of his spiritual children were walking in the path of truth.
Again John called Gaius "Beloved," and wrote to him about the demonstration of fidelity in all that he did was well known by spiritual brothers who were strangers but they had testified about the love of which Gaius was well know by believers. He also wrote that it would be good if Gaius helped the spiritual brothers to continue on their journey because it was in the name of Christ that they had set out on their journey, having accepted nothing from the pagan believers. Therefore, he wrote, the other believers owed it to such missionaries to support them and thus have a share of the work.
In addition to his words of comfort and guidance, John wrote that he had written to another believer but had been ignored by him. John described that believer as being one who enjoyed being a leader and when John came into that believer's presence that John was going to speak publicly relating to the believer's having spread evil nonsense about John and his fellow ministers. He also wrote that the believer was not only spreading the nonsense but he refused to welcome other believing brothers himself and even kept other believers from doing so, even expelling them from the church.
Again John called Gaius "Beloved," asking him not to engage in what was evil but only what was good, professing that whoever does what is good if of Me but whoever does evil has never seen Me. He wrote that the evil believer was able to get good testimonies from people but John wrote that he and his disciples were also able to testify to truth, proclaiming that their testimonials were from truth.
John closed his letter by writing that he had much more to write relating to that subject, but did not want to do it with pen and ink. Instead, he expected to see his disciple Gaius soon and they would talk face to face. John ended the letter wishing peace in the life of Gaius and he wrote that the beloved brothers with him sent their greetings and asked that he greet the beloved believers there, each one by name.
As you can see by his writing this third letter that he was concerned with someone whom he viewed as possibly being a false teacher, which was most often the main theme of the letters also written by Paul, Peter, James, Jude and other apostles to the believers under their ministries. They knew that the devil targets dedicated believers in Christ, sending his false teachers into their midst to pollute the gospel of Christ Jesus by infusing untruths into the minds of the people, most often requiring that the believers put the new wine of the covenant of the Holy Spirit into the bottles of Jewish Mosaic Law given through Moses, which was the old, default covenant which became null and void when My Holy Spirit entered into the lives of the disciples in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. It doesn't work to combine the old and the new. The new wine breaks the bottles and spills out onto the ground, meaning that the gospel of Christ Jesus cannot be contained in old customs, traditions, doctrines or laws. When I write My words on the hearts and in the minds of My children by the power of the Holy Spirit, new life is created, especially when they pray in the language of My Holy Spirit in intercessory prayers, which allows My angels to deal with the demons behind all sin.
Oh, that My children would consider every child of Mine as being Beloved. When you do, the windows of heaven open and My blessings flow to you. (Ephesians 3:20; Matthew 13:36-42; Ephesians 6:10-19)
Your Beloved Father
