Good morning,

I would like to share what I have been hearing the Lord speaking to me this week.

     For the next few months I Am arising with healing in My wings.  Healing for all who have trusted Me, yes, soundness, wholeness in every area of life.  For My mercy is falling like rain, for all who will believe and step out into it.  My great healing mercy will flow into families, churches, communities, everywhere My people have set the environment for Me.  It is only a foretaste of what I have in store for My precious ones.  All of you who have represented me in their daily lives, touching all who I have sent you to, you will receive a double portion of My anointing.  That is why I disperse you abroad in divers places, in the market places, in the government, in the schools, neighborhoods, and especially in the religious arena.  The arena, where people call on My name, but do not do what I command them to do.   My Spirit will be felt in the most difficult and hardened places because My children have been praying and interceding for an awakening, and I Am hearkening to their consistent cry.  I have equipped fully all that stand as faithful to My call to walk in signs, wonders, and the miraculous, snatching souls from hell's fire.
     Even so more of My children have been faithful watchmen over My house.  I have been purging and cleaning My house for a long time, so now more of My glory will be released in greater intensity and in longer measures.  Prepare for more visitation of angels.  I Am opening portals of My glory to flush out any remaining remnants of residual flesh and it's sinful ways.  I Am preparing My bride to walk in her white.  Finally, you will walk in My wisdom and move in ways unknown to this world.  I Am revealing My secrets to those who have humbled themselves before Me.  Because of your yielded heart to serve and to please Me, I Am opening revelation, making it easier for you to have My mind on the course of life.  My children will experience a rush of heavenly encounters and aid, as they have practiced being still and knowing and recognizing Me.  Messengers, angels, that are always working on your behalf, who love worship and true worshipers, will cross the realm of the unseen to the seen realm more frequently.  Take notice that you do not go seeking these encounters, but just expect those times of heaven touching earth.  As you avail yourself to Me, in times of waiting, drawing closer to Me, you will become more sensitive to the things of heaven.
     "Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?  Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?  But we have the mind of Christ." (1 Corin. 2:6-16) These are the verses that I have been meditating on.

Good morning,
     This is the word that the Lord spoke to me this morning. I hope that you meditate on it and receive it for yourself. We are coming into a contrasting time to what we have walked through in the past.  More and more grace will abound to all who believe in Him.  Who hold steadfast to His promises.  We are walking out of the shadows into His marvelous Light!
     Many of My children have allowed a spirit of discontentment and murmuring to steal their testimony.  Having run the race with the right heart, they have let too many entanglements from the world rob them of the greatest joys that I have in store for them.  I have set watchmen all along the road to keep My standard raised high.  Yet, they have listened to lies rather than My truth.  They have traded My truth for the temporary feelings that are fed by monumental lies of the wicked one.  All the while I have been correcting errors in the way they perceive and receive Me and the Kingdom. 
     Quite often My little ones, when I Am constructing My plan for your life, there are many crooked places that have taken years to be built.  My original plan has many intricate details that I Am constantly unwinding.  You must wait, yes, wait patiently as I work the plan.  I have not revealed fully what I Am doing in You.  This next twelve months will bring an unusual time of refreshing in you My plan.  I Am doing a new thing in you and yet I have spent the last four years bringing you to a place of surrender.  The fire was to prove what kind of trust you had for Me, while I removed great imperfections and weights.  Many were transformed into My image to a greater level, while some refused My love.  I love all those that I chastise, for they are My children.  It is because of My love for you that I sent correction through My ministers.  Some of My obedient ones recognized that I used My ministers to help keep them on the straight and narrow way, while others cut off the cords of their lifeline.  They resisted Me, and still I sent others to try and get them to put their foot on the right path to their destiny.  I have stayed silent along time, but now know that I Am about to shout and all will know.  For I will arise for the sake of My righteous ones who continue in My Word and continue in My love, they have cried out for justice.  I Am on alert for My righteous, obedient, believing ones, and I hear and I will hearken to them.  The enemy has tried with all his might to torment My righteous ones, but they stayed with My Word.  I will reward them openly, I already know that they will remain humble.  I Am lifting up those that were brought low, and I Am bringing low all that lifted themselves up.  Watch and see the humble will be exalted, those who have humbled themselves under My Word.  No one will be able to stop what I Am going to do in their lives within the next twelve months.  They will laugh and truly rejoice in what I will do in the day to day portion that I will pour mightily on them.  They have allowed Me to govern their lives and now I will cause many to give to them in significant ways!  I promised it and I will do it.
   
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     Today I would like to share a continued dream that I had three days in a row.  Three signifying the perfectly divine and heavenly number.  Being representative of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit among many other things.
     In my dream I was looking out of a window and saw eight deer standing on a mountain in the snow.  The first thing I noticed was that there was two stag deer with powerful antler, three doe or female deer, and three fawn.  The next night it was the same dream, but this time there was twelve trees that was burden under the weight of snow but they did not break.  The third night it was the same dream but this time there was a wind that begins to stir, but all of the deer remained standing immovable in spite of the wind.
     I needed the interpretation for the dream and this is what I received,  Eight is from the root word to make fat; to super- abound, making it the super abundant number.  The eight deer represents the super abundance for us in the year ahead.  The number seven represents the seven days of creation, the seventh day then being the day of completion and rest, Eight coming after the seventh day was over and above this perfect completion and was indeed the first of a new series.  Making eight the number specially associated with 'resurrection' and 'regeneration' and the beginning of a new era.  Here are some scripture that lines up with the number eight being resurrection and starting a new era.  2 Peter 2:5; "And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly".  1 Peter 3:20 "[The souls of those] who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, when God's patience waited during the building of the ark in which a few [people], actually eight in number, were saved through water".  Also we will see that circumcision was to be performed on the eighth day, because it was the foreshadowing of the true circumcision of the heart.  This of course is connected with us being a new creation, or being born again.  Genesis 17:12 "He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male throughout your generations, whether born in [your] house or bought with [your] money from any foreigner not of your offspring".  Colossians 2:11 "In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but in a [spiritual] circumcision [performed by] Christ by stripping off the body of the flesh (the whole corrupt, carnal nature with its passions and lusts)".  So here we understand that eight has the significance of beginning anew, regeneration and resurrection.  There are approximately eight known resurrections recorded in the Bible, besides our Lord and the end-time saints.  Three in the Old Testament (1 Kings 17:17-25; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 2 Kings 13:20-21), three in the New Testament that corresponds to the three in the old (Luke 7:11-18; Mark 5:35; John 11) and then there is one in Acts 9:36-41; and another in Acts 20:9-12. 
     I will close with the definition of two words, and next time, we will talk about the twelve trees which also have significance since we are coming up to our calendar year of 2012.  The words regeneration and resurrection, which is what the eight deer represented in my dream, which is also what we will experience afresh and anew in 2012.  Regeneration means to be restored to a better, higher, or more worthy state.  To redeem from error or decay.  To reestablish on a new and better basis; to make a radical change for the better; to reform completely.  Resurrection which means the act of rising from the dead; a rising again as from decay, disuse; a revival; restoration to use; an awakening to care [for what God is concerned with].  Great things are about to come to pass for all who have put their trust in God.  It will be magnified in comparison to those who have not trusted and known God!  Praise our God forever more!

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     As I write this morning, I am reminded that , "Ears To Hear"  may need an add on.  Ears to hear and hearts to do, may be the complete name of this title.  For I originally was led by Holy Spirit to Revelation 2:7, "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches…" I never want to give the idea that hearing is the only thing necessary, honestly we all know that 'hearing' is just the beginning.  For the very same book of Revelation 1:3; says, "Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand".  The blessing comes when you read, hear, and keep.  Blessed simply means happy.  Read is to acknowledge, to distinguish between; to recognize accurately.  Hear means to be endowed with the faculty of hearing, not deaf; to hear, to attend to, consider what is or has been said, to understand, perceive the sense of what is said; to hear something; to perceive by the ear what is announced in one's presence; to get by hearing learned; a thing comes to one's ears, to find out, learn; to give ear to a teaching or a teacher; to comprehend, to understand.  We must first perceive what is being said, understand it and comprehend it.  Keep means to attend to carefully; to guard; to observe; to undergo something; to persist in; to stay at it; be steadfast; to hold to and maintain.
     So we must stay at or persist in what we have read and understood and comprehended, that is where our happiness or blessing should come from.  Really how many of us have persist in what we have understood?  We must go back to our earlier days of our lives when we learned by repetition, continuing to do the same thing over and over again until it becomes a part of our lives, part of who we are.  "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: "(James 1:22)  "Doer" carries the meaning of a maker, a producer, author, performer; one who obeys or fulfills the law.  So then hearing the Word or understanding and comprehending the Word puts you in the place of making a choice.  Choose to produce, perform, and obey the Word by making it operative in your life, then you fulfill the Word.  Hearing what God says is the beginning, but doing it is the fulfillment.  Every time you hear you have a choice, it is at your discretion; you can either perform the Word or not.  But always remember it is not what you hear alone, but what you do with what you've heard that matters.. Listen and hear and do; "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." (James 1:25)  Let's choose to do what we hear and persist in doing it, whether it is love-walking, forgiveness, living by faith, going to church, or anything that you have read, or heard, and understood.

Good Morning,
This is a Word that i received this morning in prayer;
Keep your eyes on Me. I realize that for most of My children this is a task. For many have not yielded to the training that is necessary in having a single vision. Too long My children have had roving eyes, always gazing around at every thing and everyone around. I know the path to take to bring you to higher ground. If you would keep your eyes fixed upon what I Am doing. You would see that the curtains are drawn back in order to provide you more insight to the next move for the Kingdom. Heaven and earth are about to kiss, and when this happens there will be poured out upon humanity the best and the worst all at once. For those who have made Me their safe haven, it will be the fullest and the greatest times. Yet, those who have stubbornly resisted Me and my life, it will be an opening of a dark abyss. For My children will begin to walk in the times of My glory being poured out in it's fullest for the earth. It will be like the sudden anointing that Saul walked in and was thought to be as one of the prophets. It was not his call to walk in the office of a prophet, but it was a view of My free flowing anointing, where you will become another man. Yet he knew it was of Me and not him. Even so shall all who keep their eyes on Me and mature in their love walk, will experience a new level of My anointing. It will come upon you suddenly to fulfill My purpose in this season. My sons and daughters will prophesy, and will be new as you stay under the spout of this great anointing. Those who are called in the ministry of apostles, prophet, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, will have greater revelation, and have deeper insight to mysteries. No one knows all that there is to know of Me, but I Am causing many to hear more clearer and to see with sharper vision, those secret things. This is not even the best to come, for those who have grown in My love will begin to prefer one another. They will submit one to another, and fulfill my joy. All heaven has awaited this day; When My people are mature and the time of love has come. When My people become one as We are One. This sets the atmosphere and I will come and receive her unto Myself. I have seen your future and it is good!
Love,
Pastor D.

Ears to Hear

Good morning,
     There are several things I'd like to reach an all time high for in my life.  One of them is loving God until He is happy with my love for Him.  The next thing would be that He knows that I fully trust Him with everything and everyone in my life.  This verse is one that I have been meditating on; "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding." (Prov. 3:5) Lean means to incline or bend in opinion, feelings, or actions; to be supported by; to depend, rely on or gravitate towards; to prefer.  So here we are told to gravitate or prefer God's will and way.  We are to be confident [certain; sure and assured; expectant; fully trust; convinced and reliant] on Him.  "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."  This is the same verse in the King James Version, notice it tells us not to depend on, or be inclined to, or gravitate towards our own understanding.  Honestly that is why we spend time in the Word of God to change the way we think and line up with God's thoughts.  Understanding is the mental process of a person to comprehend; intellectual faculties; intelligence; knowledge of or familiarity with; skill dealing with or handling something.  How often do we depend upon our own skill, intellect, knowledge, or our familiarity with people, situations, opinions, or circumstances?  The last time there was a wall, or an attack, or an unusual set of circumstances in your life, did you go back to how you handled it the time before, or did you rely on God's skill, His intelligence, His knowledge?  Every day we have the opportunity to lean on and be supported by God and His way of doing things.  We will always have the free will to choose our way or God's.  He will never force His way on any of us.  We make the choice!  That brings us to the next verse.
      "In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths." (Prov. 3:6) This verse in the New Living Translation reads; "Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."  We should make it a habit to seek [go in search of; find and discover by searching; investigate; beat the bushes; follow after; ransack and to track down] God's will.  The promise is when we seek His will He will then show us the plain and straight path.  That sounds much better than having God to come behind me and straighten all the places that I have made crooked, by going my own way.  When we acknowledge God by seeking His will, then He will direct and lead by making straight, smooth, level, and upright our path.  Paths is the road, the way; the way of living; the passing of life; the course and the direction of life.  God desires for us to come to Him and acknowledge Him in everything that involves our life and take council from the Words of His mouth [the Word of God; let's start with the Bible].  After all He has been involved long before we took form in our mother's womb, He numbered the hairs on our head, knitted every delicate and intricate part of us, and wrote every member of our body in His book.  Plus He ordered the steps that we should take, knows our lying down and our rising up, and He has a good plan and destiny for us.  He really should have a say so in what we do, how we do it, and when we do it, don't you think?  Let us fully trust Him more and more by leaning on Him.
 
Love,
Pastor D.

Good morning,
Today the Lord was speaking to me about "standing strong in peace".  I wrote it down to share with you.
     "Be faithful in all the small things that I have told you to do.  In so doing every step that you take from obedience will bring you to the next level.  Remember that every step is preparation for your destiny.  Be patient as you continue to fulfill the plan that I have for you.  Your stand in the plan of promise will cause you to walk straight into the victory that I ordained for you.  Even when the enemy tries to block, stop, or detain you, let him know that you mean business, and stand strong.  Stand strong in My peace!  I Am your peace, and your obedience to every step causes you to live in a place of peace.  It does not matter what the circumstances say, I Am has spoken and will bring you to the place of fulfillment.  You remained in My provided refuge when storms raged against you, because you love My Word.
     Now to you My faithful child, it is time for you to prepare to enjoy a fresh new season.  You can come out into the shining of a new day.  Consider this as your times of refreshing, that has come as reward for your faithfulness to Me and My Word.  In this refreshing will come freedom to walk in sign, wonders, and miracles.  It will be as natural to you as breathing.  You will know that this season is to usher in as many souls into the Kingdom as possible.  Many will come to the 'rising' of My children, to see if you know your God.  Because you have spent time in the secret place getting to know Me, they will know that you have been with Me.  I have given a reprieve to the world at large so that My children will arise and carry out to the fullest My plan.  Once you are strengthened and prepared to carry out to the full My plan, then the world will speed toward it's purpose.  You will shine with My glory and those lying in darkness will go towards the light, and I will make their darkness light.  Many will continue on in darkness, for they prefer it over the light, they love evil.  My peace gives you the ability to stay tuned to Me and the next step that I have for you.  All of the transitioning and repositioning is for your good, take Me at My Word.  So stand in My peace and be not moved!"
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     How about a change of heart?  You know how we are bent on changing the minds of the people in our lives.  Well, what is really needed is a change of heart that can only come when the mind is renewed.  Remember what Romans 12:2 says; "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." (BLT) We can only be a new person which [means our heart follows], when we change the way we think.  Ready for more transformation?  Here is the same verse in the Amplified Bible.  "Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]." Learning and knowing God's perfect will comes only when we have a different thought process.  That's why the Word tells us, “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy.  Don’t throw your pearls to pigs!  They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you." (Matt. 7:6) There are certain things that will not change the heart until a person renews or changes the way they think.  God's Word alone can do that.  Even as believer's if we refuse to read and study the Word, there are deep truths in the Word that we will not get, if we don't receive the Word's ability to transform the way we think.  It is something that we can have, it is available, but only if we are willing to be transformed.  You know as well as I do that once we accept the Lord in our lives, we must continue to yield to His Word, for He never forces us to do anything. The scripture says; "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;" (Isa. 1:19) Willing means to be consenting and disposed; to desire and to yield to.  It depends on the degree of our desire and our yielding to the Word that will effect a change or transformation of our mind and heart.  The mind, comprising alike the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling, judging, determining the intellectual faculty, the understanding; reason in the narrower sense, as the capacity for spiritual truth, the higher powers of the soul, the faculty of perceiving divine things, of recognizing goodness and of hating evil.  With our mind renewed we can then think like our Father thinks about things, situations, and people.  Otherwise we continue to be led captive by our old thought patterns, and every time old familiar patterns or familiar scenarios happen, we resort back to familiar thought patterns, which causes us to walk around in the wilderness of our mind.  Because we direct the course of our lives by what we are full of in our thought life.
     I am all for being a new man, with new God thoughts!  I know that first and foremost in order for that to happen I must make God's Word hold the supreme and highest place in my life.  His Word must have the final say so in my life.  That is what it means to be Lord of my life!  Without totally yielding our thought life then our thoughts have more of a tendency to be twisted, a little off, no matter how nice you are.  Listen the Word will so transform our thought process that we can really think like God; "For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge?  But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart." (1 Corin. 2:16) We can hold His feelings and purposes of His heart.  We can change our hearts if we yield to His Word.  We will need to lean on His Word more as the days approach.  It will keep us right in the perfect center of His will.

Good morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     I will always have a generation of warriors who are willing to walk in the realm of the Spirit with demonstrations of sign, wonders, and miracles.  Arising from the ashes is coming My army that has been in preparation for the times that lie ahead.  This new breed of conquerors will cause many of My front-line runners to begin to brush off their running shoes,in order to keep up.  They have been practicing by doing My Word on a consistent basis.  They have great evidence and confidence in Me and My abilities.  They have kept fear at bay by knocking it down with great tenacity and perseverance.  Their diligence shames the enemy and he cannot stop them, though he has tried many times.  This mighty army is totally persuaded that My Word is all powerful and that My protection is sufficient.  Many of My 'end time warriors' will give aid to places where My Word's fire has gone out, for they have My heart and passion and their desire for the Kingdom consumes them.  The fire in them will heat up all that want more of Me, and at the same time burn down places that reject Me.  Their minds have been made up and their hearts are fixed trusting in Me.  And there is nothing that I will withhold from them.  Heaven's portals are open wide over them, and they are willing to receive every gift that is available to them.  I do not have to convince them that I Am for them, they know this assuredly!  By their knowing they freely receive all.  In the past I have had to plead and implore with My children to believe that I only had the best in My heart for them.  I was limited in what I could do by their belief or unbelief, but this generation of warriors are open, ready, and willing. 
     These 'end time warriors' will usher in a desperation for all of Me.  They will not be denied and I will not deny them anything that they ask according to My Word.  They are increasing in strength and are very forceful against the kingdom of darkness, using all that have been given to them from heaven's open doors.  The wind that thrust them forward is the true foundation of My love that keeps them motivated to go forward.  They will not quit!  Any of you can be one of My great 'end time warriors'.  All you need to do is simply believe that I Am able to help you master any sin, iniquity, weakness, addiction, or anything that has lied to you and kept you from soaring.  So come up to where the elevation is lighter and easier.  To the place where you can see from afar and with greater clarity.  Where living for Me and with Me becomes simple, because you have yielded to believing!  The high place is choosing My Word and yielding to My Spirit.
     And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him. (1 John 3:22)

Good morning,
     "And this is how we may discern [daily, by experience] that we are coming to know Him [to perceive, recognize, understand, and become better acquainted with Him]: if we keep (bear in mind, observe, practice) His teachings (precepts, commandments).  Whoever says, I know Him [I perceive, recognize, understand, and am acquainted with Him] but fails to keep and obey His commandments (teachings) is a liar, and the Truth [of the Gospel] is not in him.  But he who keeps (treasures) His Word [who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety], truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected (completed, reached maturity).  By this we may perceive (know, recognize, and be sure) that we are in Him:" ( 1 John 2:3-5) Our love is perfected as we keep The Word of God.  Perfected means to be completed; to reach maturity; to add what is lacking or wanting in order to render a thing full.  "If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands."(John 14:15) If which is, in case; granting or supposing that, or on condition of.  So in case or granting that you really love Me, in that condition then you will keep My commands.  We show our love by keeping His commands.   Love being an action that is part of our covenant with God, something that we must do.  "The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest, divulge, disclose a secret, make plain and unfold; give us the low down) Myself to him.  [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]" (John 14:21-24) God wants to give us the low down about Himself if we really love Him, if we keep His commands.  The Word of God tells us that "the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him and He will show them His covenant." (Ps.  25:14)  God wants to bring us in on His intimate counsel.  Obeying or keeping God's Word is equal to loving Him.  After all if you love someone your desire is to please that person.  So, we please God by keeping His Word.
     "Therefore you shall love the Lord your God and keep His charge, His statues, His precepts, and His commandments always." (Deut. 11:1)  "And if you will diligently heed My commandments which I command you this day–to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being–" (verse 13)  On our part, in case of, or supposing we will diligently [perseverance applied; devoted and painstaking application; to accomplish an undertaking; persistent effort to please; steady, earnest; attentive and energetic effort in pursuit of] keep God's commands.  Love is the fulfilling of the Law. (Rom. 13:10) I love God and want to please Him, and He has given to Me everything necessary that pertains to life and God-likeness.  Precious Holy Spirit helps and aides me in keeping His commands.  Keeping is to observe and fulfill; not to swerve from; to practice or perform as a duty; to watch over and defend.  We can keep His commands and love must be our motivator."  By this we come to know (recognize and understand) that we love the children of God: when we love God and obey His commands (orders, charges)–[when we keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and His teaching].  For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching].  And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous)."  I can love the children of God as I love God first, by keeping his commands, that is true love!  And God said keeping His commands are not grievous, burdensome, oppressive, or irksome!
