The Apple of His Eye…

Part 1 Seeing Face to Face If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

With him will I speak face to face, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: (Num 12:6-8) KJV The Key...

On

the 9th of May 2001 the Lord appeared to me through signs in the heavens, saying: “I will make My eyes your eyes that you may see what I see. And I will put words in your mouth and send you to all nations in this generation before the end come. And I will give you the key!” As I looked the Lord confirmed His word through these signs in the heavens!”

The Beam of light from the Heavens...

3 years would pass before the Lord would start to open this mystery to me. One night, as I put my head on the pillow, the Lord showed me a vision in an instant. In my vision, I saw something like a soft yellow beam of light coming out of heaven toward the earth. I did not know what it meant.

One week later, after a meeting with the brothers and sister, on my way towards home, the Spirit of God led me to go to a nearby park to pray. I was filled by the Spirit of God and desired to spend time with Him.

And

Love waits patiently; it acts kindly. Love does not envy [or, is not jealous]; love does not boast; it does not become haughty. It does not behave disgracefully; it does not seek its own [things]; As I came to worship before the Lord, the Spirit of it is not provoked [or, irritated]; it does not keep discernment came upon me. The hand of the Lord was a record of evil. It does not rejoice over heavy upon me. A desire arouse in me for more of Jesus unrighteousness, but it rejoices with the truth. It Christ, who is my God and desire. By faith, I took a puts up with all [things], believes all, hopes [or, prophetic step forward, indicating that I desired to be confidently expects] all, endures all. Love never with my Lord and not to only know Him in part. At that fails. (1Co 13:4-8) ALT moment, something like a beam of light fell around me.

The Lord surrounded me with a wall of fire. Then I said And to the Lord: “This is your Glory!” Then the Lord answered me and said: “No this is My Love!” Again, in But above all these [things put on] love, which is wonder and amazement, I said: “This is your power!” [the] bond of perfection. (Col 3:14) ALT And again the Lord answered me saying: “No this is all Paul also says: “I bow my knees towards the Father of the aspects and facets of My love!” our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom every family in [the] Suddenly, the Holy Spirit opened my mind and I heavens and on earth is named, so that He shall grant understood the scriptures. Then the Lord spoke again, to you, according to the riches [fig., abundance] of explaining His word to the apostles, saying: “These are His glory, to be strengthened with power by means of all the aspect of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which His Spirit in the inner being, [in order for] Christ to make up My Love.” Suddenly I understood many things dwell in your hearts [fig., inner selves, and elsewhere which were hidden in the scriptures, which all the holy in book] by means of faith, having been firmly men of the past, the prophets, and also the apostle Paul established and founded in love, so that you shall be fully able to comprehend with all the holy ones had understood. what [is] the width and length and depth and height and to know the love of Christ [which] God is Love… surpasses knowledge, so that you shall be filled to God is Love.

(Gal 5:22-23) KJV

Thus, this Love can not be understood with the mind, but which the heart and by the Spirit. The Love of God is not to be comprehended by human understanding, but by and through the Holy Spirit in our inner beings.

If we do this, the Lord will, through His Love be able to show us His heart, plan and destiny for our lives. We

will be able to understand all that the holy ones of the past, the apostles, prophets and holy men of God understood. We will be filled with all the fullness of God in Christ Jesus our Lord and Author of our faith. We will understand the Love that the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has for His children. We will no longer live in fear, trapped by the enemy, but will be blessed in all our ways. We will also be able to do the great exploits that Daniel prophesied about, which the people of God will do in these last days.

Love never fails…

Paul

the Apostle spoke of a the gifts and the manifestations of the Spirit of God, which God gives, through the Holy Spirit to man and its function in the body of Christ, when he interject with this awesome statement, saying that, even if we can speak in tongues, but we do not have love then we are a clanging cymbal.

Paul the Apostle had an awesome revelation and mystery for those who truly seek God, which he opened to us, yet remains hidden to many. He said: “If I speak with the tongues of people and of angels, but I do not have love, I have become [as] brass sounding or a cymbal tinkling. And if I am having [the gift of] prophecy and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I am having all faith so as to be removing mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I am burned, but am not having love, I am not at all benefited.

Love waits patiently; it acts kindly. Love does not envy [or, is not jealous]; love does not boast; it does not become haughty. It does not behave disgracefully; it does not seek its own [things]; it is not provoked [or, irritated]; it does not keep a record of evil. It does not rejoice over

unrighteousness, but it rejoices with the truth. It puts up with all [things], believes all, hopes [or, confidently expects] all, endures all.

Love never fails.

Knowing Partially or Imperfect…

But if [there be] prophecies, they will become useless; if tongues, they will cease by themselves; if knowledge, it will become useless.

Now we know by part and we prophesy by part.

When we read what Paul implies by the statement above, we can only but wonder why? Paul is saying we know only in part, that is partially. What is referred to as partial and in part? The context explains that it is the gifts of the Holy Spirit. All these gifts were only given to us to lead us to Christ, the Anointed One, and our Messiah.

But when the perfect [or, complete or mature] comes, then the [thing] by part [fig., which is partial] will become useless.

Paul goes on to explain that when perfection or maturity comes, then we will no longer understand partially.

When I was a child, I was speaking as a child, I was thinking as a child, I was reasoning as a child; but when I have become a man, I have put away the [things] of the child. For we now see by means of a mirror by reflection [fig., indirectly], but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also was known. But now these three remain: faith, hope [or, confident expectation], love-but [the] greatest of these [is] love. (1Co 13:1-13) ALT

Paul said that when we are still a child in the faith we will see like one who sees through a milky glass, but when we become mature and complete, rooted in the Love of the Father, as God calls all of us to be, then we shall see face to face.

We have always thought that we will only fully know once when Jesus Christ is revealed. And that we will only see face to face once we are with the Lord in Heaven.

It would be hard for one to look through a milky glass, unless he first cleanses that glass. So in the same way, we are a temple of the Holy Spirit, consisting of body, soul and spirit. We need to cleanse the veil of our soul in order to know God, “just as I also was known.” This is actually possible on earth, before we meet with our Lord Jesus Christ, at the great day of the resurrection.

Moses saw God face to face…

But consider where Paul the Apostle got his revelation.

He understood what happened to Moses on the Mount of Sinai, when He met the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob on the figurative Mountain of God in the wilderness. Look at what the LORD said, "Now hear what I have to say! When there are prophets among you, I reveal myself to them in visions and speak to them in dreams.

It is different when I speak with my servant Moses; I have put him in charge of all my people

Israel. So I speak to him face-to-face, clearly and not in riddles; he has even seen my form!

How dare you speak against my servant Moses?"(Num 12:6-8) GNB

Or another translation says: “With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? (Num 12:8) KJV Moses saw the shape and the form of God. Moses understood God, because He was the most humble man on the face of the earth. Moses spoke to God mouth-tomouth and or face-to-face. Thus, Moses not only saw God when he got to heaven, but while he was still on this earth and in his body.

Thus, a time has now come when we will once again, like Moses, worship God face-to-face. We will no longer be children in the Spirit, but will become mature and be perfected by the Love of God. Since I started to understand this the Lord has given me the ability to hear His voice more cleared than ever before. I understood what Jesus said when He told us this parable saying: "I am the good shepherd, and I know My [own], and I am known by My [own]. (Joh 10:14) ALT Therefore Jesus said to His disciples: "You are My friends, if you are doing whatever I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends because all which I heard from My Father, I made known to you. (Joh 15:14-15) ALT It has always been my desire for the bride of Christ to know and see the LORD God and our Lord Jesus Christ

face to face, truly know and being a friend of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Now whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified [or, declared righteous]; but whom He justified, these He also glorified.

What then will we say about these [things]? Since God [is] for us [or, on our side], who [is] against us?

The [One] who indeed did not spare His own Son, _but_ [who] handed Him over on behalf of us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give to us all [things]?

Who will bring a charge against [the] chosen ones of God? God [is] the One justifying [or, declaring righteous].

Who [is] the one condemning? Christ [is] the One having died, but rather also, having been raised up, who is also at [the] right hand of God, who also intercedes on our behalf.

Therefore, I am a witness to you of this great Love that God the Father has shown and desired to show to His Beloved bride; and of all that God had opened to me His servant and messenger; and of the great hope we have because of the Love of the Father in our Lord Jesus Christ. May the God of Love in our Lord Jesus Christ, reveal His love, mercy and grace to those who truly seek Him to be their first love!

From the directors: “The Witness”

Who will separate us from the love of Christ?

[Will] affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?

Just as it has been written, "For Your sake we are being put to death the whole day; we were accounted as sheep for slaughter." [Psalm 44:22] But in all these [things] we are completely victorious through the One having loved us.

For I have been persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor rulers nor powers nor [things] present nor things about to be nor height nor depth nor any other created [thing] will be able to separate us from the love of God, the [one] in Christ Jesus our Lord! (Rom 8:3039) ALT
