The Two Commandments

One of our teachers at our Wonder Conference asked me if I would help her write some prophetic words for the 11 to 13-year-old kids who were going to be in her class. I printed pictures with scripture verses on them. I then sat before the Holy Spirit, praying over each word to go with the corresponding scripture. I then wrote a prophetic word on the back of each card.

One of the words the Holy Spirit gave me was, “You will have a Mantle of an end times Moses to set the captives free, and you will proclaim an end times mandate. You will proclaim My Heart and the fulfillment of the law by announcing these two commandments. The most important one being,

‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.’”

After I wrote that prophetic word, it hit my spirit with so much weight and gravity. I have pondered it since our Wonder Conference in July 2022. The Lord told me to carry this mandate and to proclaim it from the highest mountain and to the lowest depths.

All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments!

That is a HUGE saying! What did Jesus mean?

In Matthew 5:17, Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”

Jesus highlighted two specific commandments that would fulfill the whole law given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

All the prophets prophesied about Jesus that He would become Emannuel, God with us. God would leave His heavenly home and become a man to dwell among us, His creation. He came to suffer, die, and be resurrected so we could be redeemed from the curse of sin and death. He knew He Himself would have to become the perfect and holy sacrifice for us.

That brings me to the two commandments the law and the prophets hang on. It was about LOVE!

John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world and gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish and have everlasting life.

When we receive the love of God that hung on the cross, Jesus, we are changed literally forever! God gave His Son, Jesus, as a ransom for our sins. He redeemed us so we could be called His sons and daughters and have everlasting life. When we know His love, which can only be supernaturally discerned, we love Him with all of our hearts and with all of our souls, with all of our minds and with all of our strength, and supernaturally love our neighbors as ourselves.

Before Jesus suffered, died, and was buried, He prayed to His Father in John 17:22-23. He said, “The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are one, I in them and You in Me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me.”

He knew that He was going to go to the cross and the above was one of His last prayers.

When a man is dying, His last words carry weight and so much gravity. They mean something!

This is a Clarion Call word. God’s heart in these last days is that His bride with Army boots will come into full intimacy with Jesus, our Bridegroom. That we would come together in unity with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and love one another.

This love will make a mark on the world and bring in a harvest of souls. They will know that we are Jesus’ Bride by our love. Love loves at all times.

We will be able to cry, ‘MARANATHA!” Jesus has come, and He is coming back!

“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 10:12 ESV

Maranatha!
