Prophetic Weapon of Victory

When you first step onto the path of love, the very first step in receiving this Heavenly gift is a sincere acknowledgment and recognition that I do not have this agape love in which the Lord so desires to manifest Himself.

Any attempt to bypass this recognition ends with me trying to prove to everyone, even Heaven, that I somehow possess something, and that this is the love that should be in me by default.

When I become truly a loving person and begin to tell others that love must be begged for, thirsted after, and then even bought, I hear the same response: "Where did you get the idea that I don't have love? I have it, and I love!" To this, one must silently agree and allow the Holy Spirit to show the true state of this or that heart.

We are all given, without exception, the necessary measure of love, faith, joy, and patience as Christ's warriors, so that we look like the Savior's army. We receive uniforms, body armor, light firearms, and a few rounds to successfully maintain self-defense. An automatic weapon is quite effective in hand-to-hand combat, but it is of no use when "Grad" rockets, missiles, and various bombs are flying.

How does a soldier with a small plastic drone look against fully armed soldiers? Quite comically, but he is considered the main defender and attacker because behind him stand artillery, aviation, and missile troops, unleashing all their power on the enemy. And this little soldier sits in a cozy chair, launches his device, and begins to report the coordinates of the next target, setting in motion all the attacking forces tied to the small drone.

We have witnessed new wars that are difficult to comprehend with the mind but in which people die on both sides. And this is just the beginning. Soon we will see fire descending from the sky and delivering victory to those on whose side this force will be.

It would be foolish to oppose such inventiveness with an automatic weapon, believing that this is the weapon of victory.

Jesus showed the world the power of the most powerful weapon in the Universe. Without calling love by name, He defeated the most powerful enemy by displaying the most militant spirit of a Victor — obedience, humility, meekness, forgiveness, and unconditional love.

Our Heavenly Commander perfectly knows to whom and how much love was given, and how it was used. I will not be able to verify this in another's life or prove that it is such, although its visible manifestation can determine its presence and action.

It is also not worth accusing anyone of not having love or that their love is not genuine. I do not know a person's heart and their relationship with Christ.

But from the prophecy in Revelation 3:18, I know that the Lord has given this power a special status in the last time and is waiting for those who will enter into constant trading relationships with Him.

There is a general idea about this heavenly blessing, and there is a prophetic understanding of how this gift is acquired. I can collect all the biblical verses about love and based on them prove to myself and you that I have it. But the Heavenly Merchant from the third chapter of Revelation knows exactly how much of this gold was sold to me, to what extent it was refined by fire, and how I used it for God's glory.

The Lord desires that I not only buy this power but also study its essence and how it works and how it can and should be applied.

If I live in a house where another spirit constantly attacks me, and I need love only to not go crazy and not die from beatings, then I will be granted exactly enough to stay alive and endure these trials. But when I set myself the goal of loving everyone I live with and winning the hearts of people whom the Lord sends me on my way to Heaven, then I need much more than I have. And I need knowledge of how to use it.

Coming to me as a buyer of His goods, the Lord chooses my best time, when I want to rest from all daily concerns and eat something unusual and useful. Jesus quietly approaches the door of my heart and knocks, hoping that I will open it and spend time with Him, learning the science of the power and authority of love.

In personal communion with Christ, one can talk about everything, but if I ask Him to dedicate me to the depths of His love and teach me how to use it, how to choose it and attack with it, then our time will be occupied precisely with these reflections, and I will definitely learn something.

Humanly, I want to believe and live as is customary in our community, as it is revealed to me, as I need it according to my own understanding. But agape love has a special power and is offered as a victor's weapon. And this is not light firearms for self-defense, but a very complex heavenly rocket complex for capturing new territories and cleansing existing areas and regions from sin.

To love is an entire science with its own laws and rules. And this is God's design for me and my victory in the last time. If the Lord has conceived something of His own and outlined it in His plan, should I offer an alternative and decide that it is better?

How will I look, not following the counsel of the Faithful Witness and not even showing interest in this message, but at the same time claiming that I possess what He offers? Whether I have love or not is determined not by me, but by the One from Whom I buy it.

It is also difficult to restrain Heavenly agape when it overflows your heart and fills all areas of life, having unlimited access and admission to the sources of this power.

In each of our hearts, there is a place the size of God, Who is love. And He desires to pour out into my life through the Holy Spirit and fill all empty space with Himself.

I love! This is the response of my heart to God's plan and the militant cry of a victor of the last days. Such a spirit will boldly pass through all trials and prevail in every battle. This is how Christ won.

The mind of Christ is formed in each person entering into special trading relationships with Jesus. The oil for the lamp, which the wise virgins bought in Matthew 25:1-12, is still being sold. The trading shop from Revelation 3:18 is still open. What prevents me from coming for purchases, spending my time on this, and learning to use what I have acquired?

To be a victor right now is not only the work and duty of the last time but also joy, happiness, constant inspiration, and a special blessing, both for me and for those I love and who respond to me in the same way.

Prophetic love enters the lives of those buying it so skillfully that they do not need to prove anything. They simply love, and this power accompanies them everywhere and is present in every matter at all times. I study not only the language of Heaven's love but also learn to speak in the languages of love of my friends' hearts to make their lives even more beautiful and interesting. And with God's help, this works out, as it does not contradict God's plan.

Do you have, friend, what the Faithful Witness from Revelation 3:18 advises you to buy? He has many goods that He has clothed in these beautiful symbols.
