A liquid offering of love on the just and the unjust!

I was in bed last night praying for a friend that needs healing, and I was reminded again of what God showed me a few weeks ago about His grace, mercy, and forgiveness.  What He showed me on how much He loves us. His love cant be measured but God can give you the power to understand His love. I have been asking for that in my prayers. After God showed me the depths of His love, I have been asking for Him to continue to pour it on me, so that I can pour it on others. The way God loves is very different than the way I love, and I want His love and power because that wont fail.

And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.


So last night God showed me another depth of His love.. God rains on the just and the unjust.


For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike

Sometimes we wonder why do good things happen to bad people, and why do bad things happen to good people. The thing we forget to say is that good things happen to good people and that bad things do happen to bad people too. We also forget that bad people have free will to do whatever they want. There is nothing holding them accountable, and they have deceit and wickedness inside their hearts. The only thing that can cleanse that wickedness out is the blood and love of Jesus.

As I was praying I could see in my spirit, rain coming down, and it wasn't natural rain, it was the supernatural rain of God that comes down on the just and the unjust over the whole earth. God pours His Grace and Mercy on both. It isn't just on Christians. God loves His creation so much that He pours it on all of us. His grace and mercy hits us just like the natural rain does. Natural rain can leave you drenched and soaked, so how much more does supernatural rain affect us?

And then God showed me the difference in how His grace and Mercy rain has on a person who has true faith in Jesus, and one that doesn't. When I was a little kid I would play in the rain, especially in Arizona where it rarely ever rained. We would go outside and literally be soaking wet on the outside,  but then we would look to the sky and open our mouths and drink the rain. This is the difference. The pouring out of grace and mercy from God is Jesus's liquid sacrifice on the cross. His blood was poured out as a living sacrifice. Jesus blood is alive and active. It cleanses the deepest part of our souls and can clean out the heart. It can clean out the wickedness from a person.. But that person has to make an active decision in opening their mouth to drink the rain from Jesus. When they do this they are drinking forgiveness.The difference is that when we take of this cup, we are drinking Gods forgiveness. This is what makes us righteous and in the eyes of God, sinless. This transforms a person entire being. It comes into the body and everything dead starts to come alive. It is that life giving blood that gives you an entirely new heart. It transforms your mind, and soul. It literally cleans out the things that defile you that are in your heart.

But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.

This is why communion is so important. Obviously it isn't literally Jesus's blood, but we are confessing that we are drinking the sacrifice that Jesus poured out on the cross for us. We are drinking forgiveness.


After last night, I have a whole new understanding on communion and how much God loves all of His creation. He loves us so much He sends showers of grace, mercy, and forgiveness down to us from heaven.  I'm going to walk around with my no umbrella and my mouth open from now on in the natural rain. :)
