“Be bound together with others, who are My children, in love, friendship, compassion, honesty, sharing, caring and being charitable and helping those in need. Many may talk about the word love as if they understand the scope of what it means. Love is much more than an emotion, but is an expression of action and sacrifice, which creates a bond between people. Love is caring for others and putting them first. A real friend shows love through their actions, for actions speak lougher than words.
My desire is for you to become a bonding agent to connect yourself to others, and in turn bring others together. Many of My westernized congregations are independent, isolated and scattered. In that condition they are venerable for the enemy to divide and attack. Many people don’t understand what true friendship or fellowship is. They assume that friends are the people, they associate with.
In times of hardship and tribulation, is when you find out who your real friends are. Who will stand alongside you, with a willingness to help in any way possible? Real friends are those who you can trust in times of trouble, who show real unselfish love, showing compassion, without expecting anything in return. A world in tribulation is, and will be attracted to the fellowship exhibited between My people.
My people: “it is not about you expecting others coming to you for true love and fellowship, but it is about you going to others, filled with My love and compassion, desiring to give to others the fullness of what I have given you. As you give to others I will give back to you double. The more you give, the more you will receive’.
Many of My people facing severe persecution and tribulation have been experiencing the outpouring of My love and compassion among the assembly of the local saints. For they are in unity, and in one purpose, and of a single mind, to share the love and joy I have given them. Because of this, evangelism is neither contrived nor burdensome, but a natural response to being filled to overflowing in My love and compassion.
Other seekers will see, and desire to become part of my people, because it is real and sincere, and the joy of the Lord is evident in the mists of turmoil.
A time is coming when the sheltered church will be facing trials and tribulation. At that time I will force you, through necessity, to become a hub of love and fellowship. Those who are not sincere or uncommitted will fall away. Some will even become traders like Judas. But My body will continue to grow because the bride will become ready for My return, without spot or wrinkle.”
