Whether you belong to a Christian denomination, a non-denominational church, a free church, or are a member of the invisible church, if you have confessed that you believe in what Jesus has said about himself and have averred that confession in public, if you love God with all your heart, soul and mind, and if you love your neighbor as yourself--you are Christian Brethren. You are one with all Christians everywhere. You are in the body of Christ, a child of God, and the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are Christian Brethren. If you do the will of my Father in Heaven, you are My brother, sister, and mother. Come to Me all who are troubled, weary, and without a place to lay your head. Come to the Heart of Me. Enter into My rest, Christian Brethren. There is no greater love than this, to accept the outcast as your friend, to love those who have no one to love them, to die so that others may live, to be Me in thought, word and deed. If you do these things, you are Christian Brethren. If you are in Me and I am in you, then you are Christian Brethren. If you long for Me, and you cry to Me in devotion, I am with you, in you. You are Christian Brethren. If you do not forgive those who have done you harm, then I cannot be in you, you are not Christian Brethren. If you see others as enemies and do not see Me in them, you are not Christian Brethren. How can you love Me and declare another your enemy, even if they have harmed you personally? You are not in Me, you are not Christian Brethren. I forgave those who crucified Me. If you cannot do the same, how can I be in you? You are not Christian Brethren. Love Me so my Love can enter thee. My commandment is to love one another as I have loved you. If you are Christian Brethren, you have no choice. I have chosen you to love as I have loved. Live in that love. I have no enemies, so you, Christian Brethren, can have no enemies. If you hate then hate will destroy you. Love builds up. Hate destroys. Love is Me. Hate is evil. Evil cannot reside in the same heart where love resides. Fear not, Christian Brethren. I am with you always till the end of time. Did I not say to you that you will never die? Perfect love casts out fear. Perfect love does not die. If I am in you, then fear has no place in your heart, is that not so? If I am in you, fear is destroyed. The greatest fear man has is the fear of death. I have overcome death. You are in Me and I am in you, Christian Brethren. No need to fear. I am alive. Death I do not know. Neither will you know death. I have said to you, I am the Resurrection and the Life. I am the Resurrection and the Life. If you believe in Me, you will live even though you die, and if you live and believe in Me, you will never die. I speak Truth. Love, Christian Brethren. Love.

Daily Morning Prayer..... Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend ourselves this day. Your presence is within us this day and will be so to its close. Strengthen us to remember this central truth of our lives. Strengthen us to also remember that in whatsoever good work we do we are serving You, and in serving You we become more like You. Our Father, also grant to us today a diligent and watchful spirit so that we may seek in all things to know Your will, and knowing it, gladly perform it to the honor of Your name.
Daily Evening Prayer.... Almighty God, we confess that it is by the Spirit of Your Son in our hearts that we cry, "Abba Father" to You. We thank You that we are united to Christ by faith, and that it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. Hear us for His sake. Our Father, forgive us wherein we have not lived by faith in Christ today. Forgive the actions that have not been Christlike, the speech that has not been seasoned with His Spirit, and those things within our hearts that have defiled us in His sight. |
In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene....
