Will You Be My Valentine?

Received by Mary Craig
February 1, 2010

...I was before the Lord praying about what He wanted to say, asking what the Spirit is saying to the Body of Christ. This is what I received.

Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love.

This love I have demonstrated tangibly in deed and not in word only with the sending of My Son Jesus Christ.

Nothing separates you from My love now, for the sin that separated you from Me has been atoned for. Romans 8

I have bought you with a price and you are Mine. The Holy Spirit indwells you, lives within you. I have the power to overwhelm you for I am God after all. Yet I ask you today, Will you be My Valentine?

Will you willingly surrender to My Holy Spirit, to living with Me forever? Will you let Me love you?

I will be your God and you will be My son. Will you let My Spirit pervade your being such that you walk, not as a slave, but in the spirit of a son?

Will you sacrifice, offer up, the members of your body to Me? Put off sin and put on the Lord Jesus Christ?

Will you let My Spirit bear fruit in you as you abide in the Vine--overcoming selfishness, loving instead of fearing--for perfect love casts out fear?

Are you ready to share in the sufferings of Christ that you may know Him and the power of His resurrection, dying to death that you might live in the Spirit?

For this is the cost of the anointing--the presence of God in the Holy of Holies.

Will you let Me love you? Do not boast of your love to Me, boasting of what you have or have not done. Rather, yield to the love I have for you. Surrender to My Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Prophecy, Spirit of Faith, Spirit of life, Spirit of Grace, Spirit of wisdom and revelation, the Promise of the Father, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of holiness, the Spirit of adoption.

Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Receive Me as I am, just as I also received you. Receive Me in My holiness, omnipotence, sovereignty, goodness, justice, mercy, even as I received you in your sin, stench, misery, lawlessness.

For I am coming to you to establish you, to bring you to maturity, to strengthen you by grace, to settle you firm in the faith.

I love you. Will you be My Valentine?

Should you decide to answer, "yes," I suggest you answer, "As you grant me grace, I will."
