The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Do not fear, My loves, for I Am with you right now and forevermore. There will never be a time when we are apart, and you are My forever love. Because of My character, I will provide for you in every way, that you not live in lack. Yes, there are times of lack when I Am working out a thing in your heart, but you will never be without Me. Each moment of your life I Am at work, making you into the image of My Son, Jesus Christ, who was perfect in every way when He walked the earth. Since that time We have been about making each of you a disciple, that you reflect His good nature and that you be driven by love. This is the mark of a true child of Mine, that you love others as I love each of you. I remind you of these things so that you don’t become downcast at what you are about to see in the earth, as this era quickly closes. Very soon, you will not recognize even your hometown, because the people will have changed. This is by design, that I separate the sheep from the goats and that there be none left between the two. This is why you need to be walking closely with Me now, that you be carried during that time, as persecution will be increased and many will wonder what is happening. And as you show them the love of Jesus Christ, they will either be enticed to know more about Him, or they will cry out in their hatred against you, but My loves, it is I that they hate. Because you are Mine expect to receive from them the same hatred as they hate Me and all things good. But this time will go quickly, and as you are in Me as I Am in you, then very soon I will carry you Home with Me and you will see Me for who I Am.
John 15:1-17 (ESV) “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
