Scripture reading:

Revelation 19:7-9

​

7 Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

​

8 And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.

​

9 And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage dinner of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

​

John 14:21

​

He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.

​

John 14:23

​

Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him.

​

Pay attention dear ones:

​

Dear people of the earth, notice very carefully here in the above verses - John 14:21, 23 - that the Word of God Himself - Jesus the Lord - is speaking. He is showing us that only those who HAVE His word and KEEP His word love Him. Do not be deceived. You may say that you love Jesus but not be subject to His word in your daily living and come into complete alignment with His word. We need to repent. Those who do not have His word and keep it, are those who do not actually love Him - though they say that they do with their lips BUT their hearts testify to a different reality - their hearts being lawlwss and not in complete submission to the Word of God. These ones shall not be His Bride. Only those who DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER, enter into the kingdom (Matthew 7:21).
