ARISE WARRIOR BRIDES OF CHRIST

Janis Smith

The Lord is calling forth His Bride to Arise and Shine for the Glory He has placed upon us. Aligning together as One In Him to take back the Dominion that He once gave us in the Garden of Eden. He has called us the head and not the tail and has given us all we need to take back those things that the enemy has stolen. He has appointed and equipped us to go forth in His Love and Power and become the Beautiful Bride He intended us to be. He is calling us to yield to the Holy Spirit and flow in Him as never before. In these last days He is opening the spheres of Revelation that we did not see before as we read His Word. And it is His desire that we demonstrate Who He Is and who we are in Him to a desperate world. The world is looking for something to fill the void in their lives, and we have the answer…JESUS. People are looking for a REAL GOD WHO LOVES THEM RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE AND WHO WILL FILL THE EMPTINESS IN THEIR LIVES.

As John succinctly communicated the Words of Jesus in John 15:4-5,
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” He wants us to abide in Him and allow Him to abide in us and He promises we will bear much fruit. It is all about aligning ourselves with Him Who produces the fruit! He produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control. He produces the Power to heal the broken hearted and set the captives free, provision and strength. He produces miracles, signs and wonders that will glorify the Father.

When we are aligned with Jesus, a miraculous thing happens…we are aligned with His Name! And at the Name of Jesus, everything and everyone must bow! It is in His Kingdom that all things are possible.

The key to abiding in the vine is Love. “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” I Corinthians 13:13 Jesus is calling us away with Him in total abandonment and pure love. It is all about Him wanting a relationship with us! He loves us with an everlasting love and is jealous for us to love Him too. We are called to “Love the LORD our God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5 After that it is His desire for us to love others as we love ourselves, placing Him first and then others second. When I was a little girl, my Sunday School teacher taught me something that I will always remember. Jesus first. Others second. Yourself last. Which in the end produces JOY unspeakable, full of the Glory of God.

Love is our greatest aim in life. I heard Bob Jones once say in essence that God will only ask one question when we stand before Him accountable for what we did here on earth. He will ask, “Did you learn to love”. God sets love above everything else and all else lines up behind it.

Jesus displayed the greatest example of love know to man when He died on the Cross. It was all for love. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
You can be sure of one thing; Jesus loves you with an everlasting love! “The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “ Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.” Jeremiah 31:3 Dear Daughter, nothing can separate you from the love of God! Paul says,

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
Nor angels nor principalities nor powers,
Nor things present nor things to come,
Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
Shall be able to separate us from the love of God
Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39

God encourages us to prophecy and through using our gift we encourage others. He exhorts us to Heal the sick and set the captives free. It is His desire that we dig deep into His word and find the mysteries hidden. He desires that we prosper and fulfill our Divine Destinies…and He intends to do it THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THROUGH LOVE.

His promise to us is this, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” John 15:7 Abiding in the Love of Jesus produces fruit because we are aligned with Him. Abiding in the Love of Jesus empowers our words into a demonstration of His love.

Jesus offers us something so precious and dear that we can receive from no other place. He desires that as He and the Father are One, that we become One with them also. We have such an amazing God that would create us, knowing that we would sin against and break our Covenant with Him. He knew that Jesus, His beloved Son would have to die on the cross for us in great agony and sacrifice, and was willing before we were even created to do just that. He provided a way for us to align with Him so that we could experience the fullness of Who He is In our Lives. He even beckons and calls us away to Himself, knowing we may choose to receive All of Him or reject His sacrifice and Love in its entirety.

As you read this next verse, take time to meditate on the Power and significance behind it. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” John 15:9 He is inviting us to enjoy the very same perfect relationship with Him that He has with God! Words cannot describe or contain what Jesus has offered us! And with all of that as miraculous as it is, He gave then gave us His Divine recipe for life, encouraging us again with these words,

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
Is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.”
I Corinthians 13:4-8

In these last days God is calling forth Daughter’s of the Love Revolution to Arise and Shine! He is calling us forth to DECLARE A LOVE WAR! When we align with Him, His power will increase within us and produce fruit! Not only will we produce fruit in our own lives but we will walk in His Divine Power to Heal the sick, set the captives free, place the garments of Joy upon people who are heavy burdened by the things of the world and lead them to the ONE WHO LOVES THEM MOST…JESUS! We will hear the voice of the Father and do those things we hear Him say. His pure flow of love will be manifested in our lives as a result and we will walk in His Power.

We will walk in the Boldness of the Holy Spirit. No longer fearing the enemy because we are in love with the Creator of the Universe. We are in love and in sync with the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!

^“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.”
I John 4:17-19

We will go before the “giants of this world” like David did and declare,

“You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin.
But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts,
The God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand,
And I will strike you and take your head from you.
And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines
To the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth,
That all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
Then all this assembly shall know
That the LORD does not save with sword and spear;
For the battle is the LORD’S,
And He will give you into our hands.”
I Samuel 17:45-47

Holy Spirit, we want to be in perfect Harmony with You,
Aligned with Your Purposes and Love.
We ask for You to look deep into our hearts
With your piercing eyes of true love
And reveal to us those things that need to be realigned.
We willingly forgive those who have hurt us
And ask that you show us how to love them in return
Within the boundaries that You want us to set.
Fill us with love and teach us how to demonstrate Your love.
Help us as we walk today
To pass every test that is placed before us
And establish Your love in us.
You have shown us that love never fails
And that if we sow love we will reap love.
Today we hold the seeds of love in our hands.
In Your Strength and in Your Power
We go forth as Your Daughters of the Love Revolution
And declare a harvest like we have never seen before.
As we abide in You and You abide in us
We now go forth in the Power of Your Name
To Heal the sick and broken-hearted,
And set the captives free.
We pour into them the love you have poured into us freely,
Multiplying ourselves,
Birthing more DAUGHTERS OF LOVE FOR YOUR GLORY!
