Yes we once walked in darkness by minding the glories of this world and the denying the true God who created all things whether consciously or unconsciously. All we have to do is become aware of our true identities and be aware of the truth in all ramification. We have to grow in the understanding of His kingdom and in awareness of His thoughts dispersed all over the creation.
The tree that was cut down will spring forth again to the glory of God. This will happen as the revelation of God's love and His kingdom is revealed before men. The word is liken to the waters that cause the Tree that was cut down to sprout again.
Job 14:7-9 7 "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease. 8 Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground, 9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.
LOVE THE POWER TO MAKE US REIGN WITH CHRIST
The word of the Lord is a revelation of love because when we rediscover ourselves we discover we are all one. We discover we are one entity with one mind, one way, one desire and one purpose. Before now we were blinded by the beggarly elements of this world so that we did not recognize the brethren. Not recognizing the brethren means not recognizing yourself because we are all one body.
It is this revelation of love that propels us to the pinnacle of glory and power where we rule and reign over all in God's power without limitation. Love is the crown that makes a man king. The world is known for condemning and accusing the weak and guilty but it is not so with those who find the Love that is in Christ. The one purpose of Christ is to deliver and set man free from His sin and condemnation. Remember that anyone can kill and hate a convict but only a king can give Him life. It is the power of love in Christ that can set creation free from it's miseries.
It is that oneness in love with God and the brethren that causes us to command things into been like we did in the beginning with the Father. That same voice that said let us make is the body of Christ speaking in that bond of oneness commanding and creating. This unlimited power will remain only with the innocent filled with love least the people be ensnared by power slipping into wrong hands.
Love is the golden divine crown that causes us to rule together upon the Holy Hill of the Lord (Mount Zion). We rule together in one with the Brethren upon the eternal throne of God.
Psalm 2:6
6 "Yet I have set My King
(CHRIST)
On My holy hill of Zion."
Psalm 133
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren
(CHRIST)
to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious
oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of
Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It
is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of
Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-- Life
forevermore.
As love intensifies in us royalty and majestic splendor is revealed
through us. This mystery is seen in the color purple which
is associated with royalty and spirituality in the
religions of the east; the color purple is the seventh color
in the color spectrum. It is the produced when light
is propagated at higher frequencies. All this point to love
being manifested at higher intensity and therefore producing
royalty in us.
Paul empathically wrote in His epistles that Love is the greatest of all things, it is the fulfillment of the law so that those who live by love live above the law and the curses that accompany it's transgressors.
Romans
13:10
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the
fulfillment of the law.
Love is the only power that can can match and overcome death. It is the only power that can invade and overcome the powers of Hell and the grave.
Song 8:6
For love is as strong as death
It is by love that the kings of God's kingdom deliver the creation from the hard servitude and bondage to corruption and sin.
Let us all ascend into God's spiritual mountain of Love (Mount Zion) and rediscover our true identities and bond of oneness in love. We do this by putting on our true identities by faith and walking in that faith. Walking in unconditional love, forgiveness and increasing our awareness of the universal body of Christ both in the unseen spiritual realm and in this world.
In all our ways
let us add love to brotherly kindness , let us add
understanding and knowledge of our true identity as Christ.
Let us add patience, virtue and everything that is good in
the sight of the one and only true God.
ALL THINGS POSSIBLE WITH THE BOND OF LOVE
The natural flesh man can not receive from God because He is double minded. He feels a condemnation and a sense of separation and unworthiness before God. He is therefore limited in every aspect of His life. The moment Adam lost His covering of innocence and love He lost that boldness towards God. He felt unworthy from that moment to stand in God's presence and shrunk further and further away from God. Adam's conscience was defiled and From that moment He saw God in a different way according to the imagination of His defiled conscience.
Mankind inherited this sense of unworthiness and condemnation from Adam so that there is no boldness to ask and receive good from God. Faith acts by knowing that you please the Father. Jesus walked in this reality so He said that His Father always heard Him. Paul and John also walked in this reality so that they wrote that to Him who is able to do abundantly more than we ask for.
The cure to this defiled conscience in man is arriving to the place of unconditional love in Christ. It is by believing and coming to the full awareness that you are Him (Christ). We have to come into the consciousness that as He is so are we, as He walked on the earth so do we walk on the earth. As He goes to the Father in ever oneness so do we go to the Father in ever oneness. When we walk in this reality boldness and confidence towards God is restored. We see Him face to face again like in the beginning and we say Abba Father.
John 14:12-14
12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the
works that I do he will do also; and greater works than
these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever
you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I
will do it.
People have read John 14:12-14 and applied it religiously for years. When they pray out they say "in Jesus name" I want this and that, but that is not what Jesus Christ meant here. What He meant was when we abide in Him we have boldness and assurance towards the Father because He is ever before us. We who are Christ have died to that old man of the Flesh that we thought we were at one point in time. We have put on Christ by faith so that it is no longer us but Christ.
Let us put aside the scars and hurts we were once afflicted with and begin to recognize each other in pure love. The one who hurt you did it out of ignorance that has covered the whole world. Forgive them for they really know not what they do. Manifest love and it will heal the world. Remember that Jesus first loved us and demonstrated much patience towards us even in our rebellion.
When we grow in the love of God we enter into the springtime of our lives where all begins to blossom again. The fruits of peace and joy begin to come forth again.
When we unite in one with the tree (Christ) all our dreams will blossom as fruits, because all things become possible. In this union of love The Father does anything we ask Him to do because we love the brethren. The intimacy with the Father becomes so intense that we seize to exist, it is the Father that now works through us. In that day all our dreams will materialize because of that true oneness with the God of love.
Have you ever looked deeply into the physical creation ? All that we see are the manifestation of the dreams of love between Christ and the Father. The uncountable number of animals, trees, earth forms, gases, scientific theories, discoveries and many other elements and concepts are only a reflection of the love between the Father and Son. The thoughts of the Father are thoughts of love towards the Son (Christ) and the thoughts of the Son (Christ) is love towards the Father.
John 3:35-36
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into
His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting
life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see
life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
John 14:31
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and
as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go
from here.

song on the evergreen tree
THE EVER GREEN TREE
Oh darling, will our love be like an evergreen tree
Stay ever green and young as the seasons go
Your kisses could make love grow like an evergreen tree
Bloom in the summer's sun and the winter's
snow
On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our
hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree
On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree
On the evergreen tree, on the evergreen tree.
