Is this not a contradiction ? To know more than knowledge? Is not having knowledge knowing? What does the Holy Spirit intend for us in this scripture?
The Holy Spirit always takes us higher or deeper through Him to Truth….. Not to the carnal mind is any revelation of the Lord made manifest. We ponder this scripture to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge…..The word know in the Greek means to perceive and understand beyond science or head knowledge……We may know someone as knowing their name but do not know them personally……. This word know is representing personally and intimately knowing the love of the Christ.
The Holy Spirit opens up the scriptures to us as we are born anew from above. However, there is always an increase of understanding available in the revelation of our Lord. The revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ will never end. The Holy Spirit will always bring us the same Food of Heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ, that we have only head knowledge and will awaken new experience of Him. Salvation of the Lord is greater in understanding and knowledge then just getting saved from the burning of lake of fire.
The Lord is always presenting Himself to us asking- WHO DO YOU SAY I AM? He wants to abide in us in greater measure and then we abide in Him in greater measure.
This love of Christ is experienced by the continuation of our seeking more of Him and the heart of our Heavenly Father…..We walk with Him, but we realize there is a big chasm between us…. The problem is never Him, we need to gain more of Him…. How?…… We learn His love and live from His great love and then step into more of Him….. This knowing of His love comes to us in our daily experiences- His love happened to me!….. This is how……. each one of us has our experiences.
This knowing can only come by relationship….. Our blind walk in faith, He puts us in positions where only His love will carry us through. It may be a walk alone, but He is here with us walking…..through the cool of the day…. through the darkest of our nights, through the highest mountains and deepest darkest parts of our unknown. We know the love of Christ which passes beyond the head knowledge. The head knowledge that speaks God is love….. We now understand and have lived this Truth. This truth becomes a part of us.
We have lived because of His love keeping us. We lived His love in our experiences of growing in faith….. His love empowers us to take another deep breath of air as we press on. He keeps us in and by His great and tender love.
That we would know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Experience the love of Christ which passes knowledge…..His love passes knowledge….Our experiences with the Lord in His Love passes all our head knowledge or reason. The love of Christ is alive in us…..His love strengthens us day by day so that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Many people get very religious when we say filled with all the fullness of God….. but this is the purpose of God……Religious mindsets sets their face in pride as they solidly take a stand against the Word in unbelief. Let us be pliable in the hands of the Holy Spirit as He brings the purpose of the body of Christ to fulfillment.
How? He shows up in our adversities and speaks His Word to us….. and all is changed……Sometimes these adversities seem to be perfected by the Holy Spirit in showing us the chasm He is to full in us…. Another facet or character of Him then gets cemented in our inner man of Him. There is greater measure in our Testimony to who we say Jesus Christ our Savior, the Great I AM is.
Our perspective is His and we live from the place of victory….. His wings of love in our despair lift us into the heights so now we are above our enemies. His Words change everything….. Kingdoms rise up and fall down upon His Word, the I AM.
The Lord stays in the place of continuous intercession for us….. Experience the love of Christ which passes knowledge…… and now are we living this love: Ephesians 6:18: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for ALL the saints.
There is no separation between the Head and the body……. We are one with our Head, the Lord Jesus Christ. So as He is so are we in the world according to scripture in 1 John.
To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge. The head knowledge is now replaced to the experience or the perception of living in the love of Christ. The love of Christ which leads us to throw away all for knowing all of Christ…. though I do not think that we will ever encompass all of Christ…. but His love motivates us to keep seeking, learning, pressing in for Him….. More of Him…..Then we grow again more in the testimony that we shall say He is our all and in all of us.
Paul then touches again on this knowing and knowledge in the book of Philippians chapter 3: Yet I indeed I also count all things loss for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
As His body, we live in all that He has come to give us. He came to take the sins of the world and also to give us life, abundant life eternal….. We live from the Holy Spirit’s prompting to come and explore the land; the Lord Jesus Christ- the land of far distances and witness the beauty of our King as written in Isaiah.
When His love is birthed in us because we grow in greater understanding….. Our hearts want to share all things with this Great King…… The new creation is becoming one with their Savior by abiding. We become willing to partake of the heartbreak and suffering He Himself witnessed and still witnesses. His love brings forth the fruit He is seeking from His beloved. A unity of Spirit.
Can this be our vision? If the body of Christ had this has their goal or vision, we all would be one spirit in unity. There would be no division between the people of God. The walls that man has set would be demolished by the love of Christ within us coming forth. We would walk through them….. for as the Lord sees, there are no walls. He sees His body as one. Many members but one body of Christ.
As the body of Christ, we would know and perceive the works of darkness by the separation within the body because of prejudices and most of all, pride….. We would live from the ascended position which He has provided and please our Lord. We would negate the power of darkness in separation and live as we are one body in Christ Jesus,…. the Truth. There is no separation in the Lord.
Love unifies. Love covers a multitude of sins….. Hate separates and divides…. Prejudice divides and kills. These carnal actions grieve the Holy Spirit….
Experiencing the love of Christ…Is it possible to be totally consumed in His love? Wow, may this be the goal and vision for all of us.
When we live in His love……. then, we give the love we live in. The fragrance of Christ is so strong. The love of Christ. The blood of Christ…. The name of Christ. The people of Christ. People of One vision…. One purpose…. One Body with many members.
Unstoppable people as were the ones of Christ that are written in ACTS. They had a goal or a vision of heaven’s purpose….. Our Father’s eye was captured in their hearts and actions….They were of single vision.
Remember: where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law, ( word), as written in Proverbs 29:18.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
In this the love of God manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him, ( 1 John 4:7-9).
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and He in God.
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother who he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother, ( 1 John 4:10-21).
Paul told us to seek to know the love of Christ that passes knowledge.-Why? So we may be filled with the fullness of God as written in Ephesians 3:19. Why? We then know or experienced intimately God’s love within to give from within out….. If we understand how His love is neverending…. never to far to reach….. never too high…… never too low….. never out of our grasp….. His love is right here, then we will testify of His love that never fails. His love is within when we believe in the One He sent, then others will hear our confidence in the Lord to reach out and touch His outstretched arms.
We experience the love of Christ when we suffer for His name sake…. Huh? Yes, we experience His great love when we suffer for His name sake…. We learn to love the unlovable, the ungrateful….. Yes, we were unlovable before we knew His great love and found it in the mercy at the cross of His Son….. His blood covered us in His mercy…. And yes, we pray for those who aren’t seeing the vision yet to be there and know His love….. We stand in for them and send the mercy seat their way, the Spirit of grace.
We stand in the gap for those who are beaten and bruised and imprisoned for His name’s sake…. They may be on their last hope…. We stand in the mercy for them and ask the Holy Spirit to remind them of the love of Christ that in their suffering might be forgetting….. We stand there and bring the love of Christ to their remembrance. He sees them. He is there with them.
He is the way to escape this temptation. We ask the Spirit of God to heal and restore their vision….. He will bring them through to His great purpose. We intercede on their behalf, because we are part of them and they are apart of us….. We are one body in Christ…. so if they are suffering, so are we…….Does our heart hurt when we think of them? We lift them up so they may know the love of Christ in the midst of great adversities. We pray for their strength so they may not let go of Him.
Why? Because we are of one body in Christ…. The ones that have been called and not yet manifested to the cross and to those who are suffering…… We are all one…. No separation in time or place because His love dwells in us and perfects us in one body of Christ.
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power, ( Colossians 2:9-10).
There is no separation from the love of God…..When we have the vision of our Heavenly Father…. We look through the cross of Christ and see all manifested in the blood of Jesus, even those far from Him…. We bring them there in prayer. We pray for the Spirit to carry His bountiful grace to their hearts. We whisper in His ear- Oh Father, awaken them….. Awaken them….We abide in His love. We abide in the Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. We speak as the Lord as we call those things that aren’t as though they are…… His people of vision. His vision…….
Someone prayed and stood with cross in the Spirit over us so we came to Him in the midst of our darkness. We intercede because our Lord is and because people did for us…. Now we live the love of Christ for others. We want all to experience His gentle and strong redeeming love. Through hate from our persecutors, we sow love and redemption in prayer.
He hears and answers…. He knows we know the vision….As we know the love and peace of Christ which passes all understanding, we live by and in the Spirit as grown sons and daughters of God…..
Let us keep the vision:…. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, and the eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him, who fills all in all, ( Ephesians 17-23.)
Beloved, His love has transcended us to a high place in Him…. There is no other place of greatness than the position that His love has granted us……. We are a people with a vision. Our view is from heavenly places…..The vision is given because we are in Him. We live from there, an ascended people…. A people set forth from the throne to govern. We bind and loose according to the standard of the Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. We loose heaven and bind hell.
Do you want to disengage the enemy totally? Love…. Love in Truth. Truth in love disengages the enemy…..He then is stripped of all his armour…. He cannot fight love…..Nor can he disengage the power of the body of Christ’s prayers.
Let us know the love of Christ, which passes all knowledge.
Let us be the holder of the vision of God….. Let His flame keep us burning in the love of Christ which leads the path the Lord wants us on and others.
One Spirit, One body, One Lord, One God……. One purpose……. One love….
He gave us His all and we die to our all to gain His all. To know the love of Christ which is higher than any head knowledge….. We ascend in our relationship with the Lord….. Head knowledge is left as we live Christ…… His burning flame of love is alive within. Let it burn with fragrance of Christ that ascends for Him for ever.
Again, not on our merit, but on the Lord’s work on the cross and where He is seated, we are… We are also found with Him at the cross in death and alive in Him in His resurrection…. We are also found seated with Him where He is….. because we came to know Him personally….. We know our position in Him, which cannnot be taken away from us……When Truth becomes us, we know where we are from and where we are and where we are going in the Lord.
No, not because of what we have done, but because of Him and His work….. We are in Him….. Now that is the Truth. The Holy Spirit works His work revealing the Truth within His temple, us. We experience Him in the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings…… There is no throne authority before there is a living cross in our hearts, beloved. The place where we live in Him is the Lamb of God and the Lion of God….. both will be written on our hearts and our lives in Christ.
Praise the God, the Father.
Praise the Son.
Praise the Holy Spirit.
The Godhead, three in One.
Oh, let us praise Him. Let us praise Him.
Children, listen to My Spirit which gently leads you into the fullness I have provided. Celebrate the Jubilee……of Pentecost….. The completed work of your Redeemer has called you…… Now is the time the Promise of the Father comes to dwell within as I AM places His Seal….. Rejoice and celebrate My love.
My creation was made out of My love for a people…..The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit love you with a everlasting love…. I AM has called you to be My people and I AM is your God…..Live and dwell in the city of God…. Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem….. You will never find darkness in your spirit for I AM is your light.
Come, live from My righteousness, quit laboring to find your own…. I AM your only righteousness….. Be released from saving yourself, I AM your only Savior. I AM your Answer…… I AM knows you. I AM knows your thoughts. You do not need to prove yourself by your works…..Are you trying to prove to you- you are good? There is no one good but God….Drop your pride in the fire. Take My yoke of humility upon you now…..
I Am seeks the land of your soul….. I AM seeks to dwell there….. Not just enter one day and go on the next…. When I AM comes so does all of My Kingdom. My Spirit is relentless to prepare you where I AM. As I AM gains My rights as Redeemer in your soul, you gain more authority in My throne…..
Alas, I AM has shown you the way……the cross. Oh children, learn to embrace the cross as you would a lost ring of your inheritance…. Alas, this is the way to your inheritance from your Heavenly Father. Embrace the ways I AM has walked as a treasure map leading you to riches that are beyond your imagination.
Your way to find I AM will be gained in greatness. Do not ponder on the riches that are mistaken in mammon…… On the Day, they will fail you. Ah, My Treasures are eternal and everlasting…….
The land I AM seeks of your soul will be cultivated in bringing a harvest of My Words. Do not be consumed with the cares and riches of this world…… I seek a full harvest. My Spirit will allow all to be burned but the Words I AM has spoken in your hearts, in your minds….. My Spirit burns with a holy fire. Do not fear, you will not be burned but be My burning bush in the wilderness. I Am will light you so they will see Me. The I AM, their hearts desire.
I AM desires My Words spoken to you to be flowing through your hearts, through your minds, through your words and hands…… for there I AM.
In your obeying My desire, you will be aware of those who I AM sets before Me. You will speak the Words My Spirit says and leads you.
As you ask, seek and keep pursuing to gain more of I AM….. I AM is first asking you, and is always seeking you and always knocking on your heart to gain more of you…. I AM first loved you so you then could learn to love I AM….. I AM, the Uncreated One,…. has created within you a heart to pursue I AM. I AM has already sought you and called you with My Everlasting Love from the foundation of the world.
Gather the jewels of My Kingdom in your pockets of your soul for they will never fail you in the days of trials that will come upon this earth. Patience, longsuffering, humility, peace in your hearts, love, steadfast in faithfulness…… Ah, these hold on to for your inheritance is found in these and will open the way to more….These treasures will remain steadfast for you. These will not fail you as they are found in I AM.
All else will pass away but My Word will never pass away.
I AM call’s and still calls My children as a hen gathers her brood……Are you here to see I AM or are you to dwell with I AM today and tomorrow and forevermore?
Selah!
