I CALL YOU FRIENDS

I CALL YOU FRIENDS - AUDIO

Word received 9th April 2021

My friends share in My sufferings. They too become the outcasts, the odd ones out and yes, even though part of society, yet not.

For the things of the Spirit can only be discerned in the Spirit and those who are of the flesh cannot see or hear with the ears or eyes of the Spirit, being veiled. But I alone am the great Revealer. I alone open blind eyes and deaf ears. I alone can cause strongholds to fall as darkness is overcome by the light of My countenance.  So that those who sit in the dark are as those who declare "I have seen a light!"  They rise anew from where they were and walk in the light of new revelations. 

Nobody but I can reveal the deeper things of the Spirit, for Spirit speaks to spirit.  And so, My friends having received these revelations, do not walk as others do, they do not talk as others do. Just like Me, they are alone even in a crowd. But I will never leave them. I will never forsake them. They are in Me. They are My friends. My called out ones. Those who walk to My rythm, to the beat of My heart. They suffer in Me, and they do it alone. But I see all things and I know all things..even this.

Though you are alone in this world, there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. I call you My friends, and My friends know what I want. Your intimacy with Me disqaulifies you with the world, and those close to you. For you walk by the Spirit and in the Spirit. You are not of this world, but I have called you by name. Have I not said that in this world you will have tribulation and that you must know that I have already overcome this world? Therefore, walk as I walked, not in the darkness of your understanding, but in the light of the Spirit of truth and revelation. The deeper things in Me are for those who are close, My friends. Can those who are not then understand?

I call you My friends and I will never leave you.

1 Corinthians 2 

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

John 15: 13 - 22

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
