– Living Below Lavished Grace –
Letting Go Of Father’s Delight to Grace-Gift You His Promises
“A certain one had … planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, AND HE DID NOT FIND;” . frm Luke. 13:6
. Holy Spirit will not let me go in addressing this. I find Him pressing seriously as to what is addressed below, pertaining to what is written on the paper in the attached pic. [I am typing out in the lower section what was written on the paper in the pic.]
——————————
“A certain one had … planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, AND HE DID NOT FIND;” . frm Luke. 13:6
. I remember a number of years ago seeking the LORD for a ‘rubber meets the road’ revelation of His Love. I knew the theology, but I was not after more of that.
. I didn’t want more head knowledge theology. My heart was suddenly ravishingly hungry for revelation in my heart that was more … I didn’t know what exactly this was going to be, I just knew my heart was hungry for heart revelation from God.
. Some six to seven months into crying out for this, through a missionary’s book I stumbled upon a YouTube teaching by a guy named Dan Mohler … & I was rocked to my core. He unveiled a depth of God’s Love – practically – I had NEVER heard before.
. In the School of Kingdom Living series, in his teaching God’s crazy unconditional love, he declared something so radical, it set me OFTEN to my knees, in tears, crying to God for transformation … (I still do this … )
. He said that “it’s complete deception to be Loved by God, yet never BECOME Love” … because God’s goal ISN’T to love you; He loves you bcuz He IS Love (I John 4:8 & 16).
. God’s intentional purpose for each one of us, His children, w/o exception, is to duplicate His image THROUGH us …
that is, that WE … BECOME … LOVE!
…
. so that the unconditional I Cor. 13:4-8a Love with which God loved us, that WE Love everyone exactly the same way.
. God our Father, through Christ Jesus, has set His seed into us. Seed reproduces after its own kind (Gen 1:11-12; Mat. 7:17).
. God our Father has a right to fruit of the seed He planted! He should NOT be coming to us, to this He that Planted into us, and not find fruit.
. Holy Spirit keeps pressing to me that He expects the Unconditional Grace we received from God, in utter & complete forgiveness – ALL that this denotes & connotes, ALL that this word means – to be the river out of us towards each other (saved or unsaved). It is a MAJOR issue with Him, Beloved. (Ref. Matthew 18:21-35; 2 Cor. 5:14-21).
( Selah … )
. Yes, we grow into this the more we behold Jesus and are transformed from glory into glory into His image (2 Cor. 3:18). There IS Grace for growing into this. But subtle roots of bitterness through unforgiveness will circumvent the full work of Grace in setting us into increased liberty and freedom in our Spirit man (Heb. 12:15) .
. God through Moses (Ex. 3;17; 4;29-30), and then through Joshua (Deut. 3;28), promised to Grace-gift the children of Israel the land of Canaan, and it was Joshua who began to lead and walk Israel into inheriting this Divine promise.
. The previous generation, when Moses was leading, let go of the promise, the Rhema Word to them. They mulled in their minds all night (Num. 14:1) the voices of “present reality” (Num. 13:31-33); and by the morning light, they’d reasoned themselves out of Divine Destiny.
. Please let this statement sink into your ears, Beloved; God could NOT take delight in His children as a Father in His ❤ to bless them – (Heb. 10:38). … Are you listening?
. When Joshua started to lead the new generation into the land, one of the children of Israel took something that he wasn’t supposed to take from the 1st city conquered, and it actually put a blockage for the rest of that generation into inheriting (Josh.7:1-12.).
. The city after Jericho, Ai (rooted in a word meaning “a heap / ruin”), a tiny city, defeated Israel.
. Joshua and the elders fell to their faces before the LORD, weeping in repentance, all day. Finally, the LORD interrupts them to correct perspective, tells then to quit weeping and to deal with the issue of what was taken, which had been under the ban. (Josh 7:10ff. (I am intentionally writing prophetically … He that has ears to hear, let him hear)
. The issue was dealt with; (they did NOT stay in a heap of ruin as to forfeiting inheriting; they did NOT drum up some religious or “Godly” reasoning as to why God changed His mind about what He had promised them… b’cuz this would have manifest in their hearts for the remainder of their days, the heap of ruin), and God could again take delight in alas Grace-gifting the Divine Destiny He had promised them.
Are you listening?
——————————
. “Forgiveness” is intricately linked to “Agape-Love”.
. When “forgiveness” is not a Grace-gift flow of Agape-Love from out of our transformed heart, it becomes an effort of faith, not a Godly natural characteristic of the seed of “God-Love He is”, which He DID seed into our born-again, new creation nature.
. Please don’t hear this in condemnation. If this is where you find your heart, it is a place to run to the throne of Grace to our Heavenly Father, to camp there in His Presence (because He REALLY DOESN’T find fault in us-😀), to let His Spirit, His Word, Jesus’s speaking blood, transform your heart by His Love into His Love.
. God’s resurrection breath impartation of Holy Spirit through Jesus His Son (Jhn.20:19-23), which Graced us “Peace” towards God, (because the release and redemption from sin imputed AND imparted Righteousness to us/into us – Rom. 3;22,24; 4;25-5;1), flowed out of Agape Love that is His very Nature towards us as a Father.
. His Love pours out unconditionally, and so is NEVER provoked, NOT EVER … His Love NEVER keeps, thus NEVER maintains a record of wrong (because Jesus’s blood is flooded with such power of redemptive Love), for His Love NEVER seeks it’s own, rather seeks our transformation into like nature, into the glory and freedom of His Love to us THROUGH us! (I Cor. 13:5; 14;1a).
. As did Achan, in Josh.7:1, what many of God’s people have taken, which is under the ban, is unforgiveness.
. It is unforgiveness that keeps and maintains a record of wrong, (even if subtle, in the back of one’s mind, having been mulled over in one’s thinking … sometimes all night … to where we have unwittingly talked, and logically reasoned, ourselves out of the inheritance of Divine Promises, Divine Destiny).
. It manifests (manifested) in a place where the enemy of our soul has had access (thru people, often close to us )to a ‘button’ – a detonation switch – to a previous hurt or fragile place not baptized into the depth of God’s Rom. 5:8 / 2 Cor. 5:14-19a /1 Cor. 13 Love to us.
. . . . and the person who, whether intentionally & unwittingly, touches (or touched) the detonation switch, called “provoked”, becomes now the ‘guilty party’ of whom, through retained hurt, we retain the record of wrong …
. . . . and WE loose forward progress into the FULL freedom for which Christ was crucified (Mat. 18;34-35).
. I know this is going long; but Holy Spirit really wants to baptize His people into a fresh revelation of God’s love from the cross, to where we become such Love, most ESPECIALLY within the body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, and then consequently to the world.
. Dan Mohler said recently, “When we’re done wrong, & don’t think ‘Done Wrong’, that’s a work of righteousness.”
. When we’re “Done Wrong” & don’t think “Done Wrong”, this is where the Grace-Truth of Love from the cross (“Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they do”– Lk. 23:34) has landed and forever rested upon the heart of a son, a daughter, who now is the exact expression, the exact image, of his/of her Heavenly Father.
. This is where Father God delightfully finds fruit from the seed He planted in us.
. If you had a glimpse of the impact of the fear of God this flow from OUT OF the bride of Christ of this living river of Life would have on the earth, you would weep, & pursue like a hunter this transformation to become (THIS kind of) Love, with a vengeance. (Jer.32:40b; Ps.130:3-4; Heb.8:11-12)
You are Greatly Loved, Beloved.

This section following is all that I wrote (as seen in the pic below) back on May 1st, in the 5AM hour.

Are We Living Below the Express Image of Lavished Grace?
” … the Beloved, in Whom we–have redemption throiugh the Blood of–Him, the forgiveness -> pardon, washing, removal, blotted clean record – of offenses, according to the Wealth of the Grace of-Him, which He Lavished unto us / into us …” . Ephesians 1:6b-8a . (expression frm the Lit. Grk Txt is written here)
. We have been living BELOW the express Image of the Grace lavished upon us by God through Jesus’s sacrifice – (2 Cor. 5;14-21 / read esp. vs 16 & 19).
. His loosing us & freeing us from sin (from missing the mark of His Glory), utterly, because of the sacrifice of Jesus, Jesus’s spilled blood, to where the very record of sin, the very remembrance, is GONE – does NOT exist – because this is how efficacious (powerfully efficient) the Blood of Jesus is!!!
. NOTHING (not one thing), of our missing the mark by sin, missed the washing (by Jesus’s blood), the “Nialed dead” in His body on the cross (let truth needs to sink into your heart & mind for a moment, Beloved … NOTHING of YOUR sin missed being put upon Jesus, while He was nailed to that cross for 6 hours, His being judged by God for every sin you would ever commit, and then HE died with it ) …
. This needs to be re-stated;
. NOTHING (not one thing), of our missing the mark by sin, missed the washing, (missed) the “Nialed dead” in His body on the cross -> the old passed away (2 Cor. 5:17), was co-crucified with Jesus (Gal. 2;20), to DEATH … FOREVER, when He shouted “FINISHED!” from the cross, & then breathed his last breath, having yielded His spirit to His Father – (Heb. 9:26b; 10;12a; Jhn. 19;30)!
. The Grace lavished us by God – towhere our being forgiven by Him forever has removed the very remembrance – to where a record of offense, of hurt, DOES NOT exist – (“love keeps no account of wrong” I Cor. 13:5b) in or with God our Father, is His purposed, intentional expression of His love … THROUGH us – our transformation by grace into the image of Jesus – so that we look exactly like Him … before the world – yet FIRST before each other!!!
. The Glory of God, for which so many of God’s people long to be manifest, carries the weightiness of:
“and of sins of them, and of the lawlessnesses of them, in NO ways, underNO circumstance, will I ever let Myself, give Myself, or make Myself to remember still. I make mention NO more!”
(this is the literal rendering, the depth of comprehension, of denotation, from both the Greek text of Hebrews 8:12, & the last line, from the Hebrew text of Jeremiah 31;34b)
. Where God’s people retain a record of wrong, of hurt, concerning our own short-coming (sin), or that of another, we are living below the express Image of Lavished Grace by God upon us.
. We are withholding the Glow of the Glory of His Grace that is to fill the whole earth. (Num. 14;21; 2 Cor. 4;6-7a).

with an ache & tears in my heart (and often in my eyes) for the Bride of Christ …

– If you have never believed into Jesus Christ, you can do so now, from your own heart and words. If you wish help to pray, pray, “LORD Jesus, I believe You died for me and as me because You love me. I receive Your Forgiveness for my sin. Thank You for shedding Your blood to cleanse me, for making me clean, for breaking the power of sin in my life, for transforming me as a gift of Your Grace to me. I ask You to live inside of me. I thank You, Jesus, for giving me eternal life, that I might know You and Your Father, as my God, forever. In Your Name, LORD Jesus. Amen!”
_ If you just believed into Jesus, if you prayed this prayer to believe into Jesus, it is of great importance that you be water baptized (Mk. 16:16a; Acts 10:47-48a; Rom.6:4). And ask Jesus to baptize you in Holy Spirit & fire. Share your faith, what Jesus has done for you.
– For those of you who have believed into Jesus; take communion often (I Cor. 11:23-26; Lk. 24:30-31a). Let communion be a refreshing of the Blood and the Spirit (Heb. 9:14) to cleanse your conscious from sin consciousness to righteousness consciousness, that you are indeed clean, as a gift of His grace. You are no more, Dearly Beloved, under condemnation; rather, you are under justification – eternally! (Rom. 4:25b, 5:21;b; Heb. 9:11-12). You will find the Holy Spirit of Jesus unveiling Jesus to you from the scriptures like you’ve never seen Him before.
kairos – (Kahee-ros’) – Strong’s concordance defines this word: “an occasion, I.e. set or proper time.” The Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible (NASB) defines this word; “season, time, but not merely as a succession of moments, which is chronos,” [from which we derive the English word ‘chronology’]. “Kairos, however, implies not the convenience of the season, but the necessity of the task at hand, whether the time provides a good, convenient opportunity or not.” This must be understood. Strategic times of the Lord do not necessarily imply good or convenient times. We are in Kairos times. Maybe not good or convenient times, but definitely strategic, opportune times because of the season we are in. We must have “ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches,” (Rev. 2:29), so as to respond correctly to the Kairos time.
