Perfect Peace!   -Isaiah 26:3

The Word is Agape Love

  Whatever is required for the recapture of a rebellious world springs from the  matchless Love of God—Agape.  Agape Love opens fully the spiritual vision of the human being and the invisible things becomes more real than the visible.
  Because of this divine illumination, those things that today appear as real end up being perceived as a mirage.  Things are about to become as they were when humanity was filled with the eternal and inextinguishable Agape Love and lived in the atmosphere of Agape Love.
  It is extremely important to consider the following points:
  The world was produced by Agape Love—it was beautiful and perfect.
  Adam and Eve were produced by Agape Love—they were beautiful and perfect.
  The relationship between the creatures and their Creator was beautiful, boundless, perfect.  Agape Love was in evidence as absolute and perfect joy and peace.
  When Adam and Eve chose to cast aside the sovereign rule of Agape Love and replaced it with the despotic rule of self love—sin, beauty, perfection, joy and peace suddenly came to an end.
  What was beautiful became ugly; perfection turned imperfect, impure, fearsome and repugnant; happiness soon was sadness and endless disappointment; peace gave way to torment, implacable hatred and insanity.
  In the absence of Agape Love the human spirit was incapable of hearing, and much less of understanding, the Word of the Creator.  Each was in a separate sphere.  There was no point of contact.
  In order to put an end to such a horrible impasse, God moved Abel to offer a sheep in sacrifice.  That innocent animal symbolized the Creator—Agape Love—who continued Loving his creatures and who, for them, would someday yield his own life.
  The actual recovery of humanity, turned senseless by the absence of Agape Love, began with Abel’s sacrifice.  His action was prophetic.
  The love of self—sin, regarded Abel’s action as unforgivable.  The forces opposed to Agape Love had to silence it forever.  For as long as the love of self—sin--was in control, Agape Love was never supposed to have the preeminence.  For all practical purposes, the Creator had been exiled from his own creation.
  Humanity existed now for the sole purpose of offering its love to self--to worship sin.
  What a horrendous god is sin—the idolized self, brutal, heartless, ferocious!
  The offended Cain, rejecting the divine Love, his spirit as bitter as bile by the absence of joy produced by purity, and suffering from the blow of the tsunami of the lack of peace in his heart, arose against his brother Abel and killed him.
  Cain’s action was prophetic.
  Agape Love and the love of self—sin—began to prepare for a direct clash from which there would be only one winner.
  Human history has consisted of endless invitations to take sides.
  Both sides have presented unquestionable evidences of their power.
  The love of self—sin—has proven that, with exceptions counted with the fingers of one hand, it is capable of controlling the totality of the human race.    
  Agape Love, upon becoming a Man, placed Himself at the mercy of his mortal enemy and thus he proved that no person is predestined to sin.
  Christ did not choose to love self—sin—even once.
  Agape Love, as it was manifested in the life of Jesus, became evident in the Love emanating from every faculty of his mind, his spirit, his heart, his body towards the Father and the Holy Spirit, and it was likewise made evident in his Love for his fellow men.  He loved them as he loved Himself.
  His Love for God as well as his Love for the rebellious human being was such that he came to the world in order to put an end to the separation that the love of self—sin—had caused between the Father and the prodigal son.  The two conflicting spheres had once again become one.
  The selfish, rebellious, foolish prodigal son was redeemed when he responded to Agape Love that drew him back to the Father with irresistible cords.
 Such is the weapon with which YAUE recaptures the world that has turned its back on him and that, when it is not giving him the cold shoulder, is attacking him intent on murder, just like Cain attacked Abel.
  The invincible weapon is called Agape Love, the Love that defines God.
  False love, the love of self—sin and rebellion—sooner or later consumes all it comes in contact with.
  Were it not for Agape Love there would not be a particle of hope for the human race that ignores or rejects him, or rebels against him.
With his death, burial and resurrection, Christ stroke the love of self—sin—with a mortal blow.
  The initiator of the love of self—sin, Lucifer, even as he led his mighty agents, was destroyed.
  The persons who learned about this wonder, who believed and accepted it with all their hearts, who recognized the Resurrected One who had annihilated the mortal enemy and who worshiped with the entirety of their being the victorious Jesus Christ, dedicated their lives to the proclamation of the message of the recapture of everything that had been lost.
  By 70 A.D. they had saturated the entire planet.
The inconceivable miracle of their spiritual awakening had occurred precisely when the disciples of the Master, at the time of their overwhelming defeat by the fact of his death--when they felt totally abandoned and lost, to their utter shock see him alive.  To see him alive after they had seen him dead was marvelous and mind-numbing; the same thing happened when he spoke Loving words of peace to them.  What left them stunned, however, was to see him breathing softly upon them.  "What is the Master doing?" they asked each other silently.  Then they heard his reply, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
  With the divine breath, Jesus wrapped and filled them with divinity, just as he had done millennia earlier with Adam, when he was merely a lifeless statue formed out of hardened clay.
  In such an atmosphere of Agape Love, their spiritual resurrection took place—never again were they the same.
  And, along with the gift of a new life, Jesus performed the miracle of opening their understanding so that, at long last, they could comprehend the Holy Scriptures.
  Equipped with the fullness of Agape Love—the divine nature, filled to capacity with the eternal Word—Jesus Christ, living IN YAHWEH and YAHWEH residing IN them, and filled with the fullness of the omnipotence of the Holy Spirit for the powerful preaching of the Gospel of salvation in every corner of the planet, the apostles did such a job in such a short time that there was not one person who had not learned about the Incarnation of Agape Love known as Jesus.
