What are You in With the Lord, a Love Affair or a Love Relationship
The title is a matter worth pondering when it involves something as deeply intimate and Eternal as Love. So often Love is treated as some inanimate emotion that is an effect of a finite cause. Love is never an effect; Love is the Eternal Cause that will always yield an effect conducive to the actions. God is Love and the Eternal Cause of the Effect; Jesus is God’s Eternal Effect. The Eternal Cause is Love; therefore, the Eternal Effect is Love.
Far too often we treat Love as if we are Love’s owner that we have powers to manipulate the direction and effect of Love. Attempting to take ownership of Love is to first bypass the Effect, which becomes the highest order of Spiritual Insurrection against the Supreme Sovereignty of God. Mankind is a finite created creature, and add to that, man is a fallen finite created creature.
Man’s struggles and his troubles are the effects of his violations of the Eternal Effect first and then the Eternal Cause. God is the Eternal Cause and Jesus is His Eternal Effect. For that which is created, the Eternal Effect must come first before the Eternal Cause.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the son, and he to whomsoever the son will reveal him (Matthew 11:27).
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).
Inclusive of all that is created, Jesus the Eternal Effect is its starting point: only Jesus can return Mankind back to God the Father, the Eternal Cause. Whether without sin, as man was when he was created, or with sin, as man is now, Jesus the Eternal Effect remains man’s only starting point.
Now that some of the Foundational Eternal Principles of the Truth of Love are laid out, we can now ask ourselves, am I in a Love Affair or a Love Relationship?
We must first have a fundamental knowledge of both the Affair and the Relationship. We can already conclude that both share one thing in common, they both involve Love. What separates the two is how each respects Love.
Knowing that Jesus is God the Father’s Eternal Effect and the Living Starting Point, we have the knowledge of who the Affair or the Relationship must be with. We will follow the order laid out in the message’s title; therefore, we will begin with understanding the Affair as it pertains to Love. A certain songstress once recorded and sang the lyrics that said, “What’s Love have to do with it: what’s Love but second-hand emotion? Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?”.
Wow, understanding the Truth of Love makes those lyrics some of the most profoundly ignorant (knowingly or unknowingly) or senseless words recorded concerning Love.
First, it is imperative that we understand the Love being referred to. Love (‘a-Ha-BawH אַהֲבָה [noun feminine singular] the begotten Love of Jesus that possess a feminine nature of humility and surrender, as Jesus always surrendered to his Father’s Will) is Jesus’ begotten Love. Jesus’ begotten Love (‘a-Ha-BawH אַהֲבָה) that possesses the Divine Nature of Humility and Surrender is always striving to lead us into a Oneness of Marital Relationship. Therein, Love (‘a-Ha-BawH אַהֲבָה) has the alpha-numeric value of 13, the number of the Bride and Bridegroom Marital Love Relationship. The Hebrew letter Aleph (א) equals 1; Hei (ה) equals 5; Beith (ב) equals 2; Hei (ה) equals 5, the sum equals 13 (6 is the number of mankind who falls short of being complete apart from Jesus the Complete, Full, and Perfect One, number 7).
The Father’s Love (‘aw-HaB אָהַב) has the alpha-numeric value of 8, which is the Unbegotten Infinite Eternal Overflowing Omnipresent Existence, with 8 being greater than 7, the Complete, Full, and Perfect One. Jesus said, my Father is greater than I. Therefore, we will never get to the Father but by Jesus. Before a cup can overflow it must first become filled, and only Jesus can fill your cup, your heart.
Examining the Affair, we must first define it as it pertains to Love. Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק to strive, quarrel, strife, contend, to dispute, oppression).
And the herdmen of of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is our’s : and he called the name of the well Esek (‘ae-SeQ עֵשֶׂק Oppression); because they strove with him (Genesis 26:20).
Jesus nor His Love (‘a-Ha-BawH אַהֲבָה) will ever submit to our temporal, fleshly, lustful affairs that will always keep those who are entwined within them in a state of striving, quarrelling, strife, contention, disputing, and oppression.
The ungodly Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) serve only to distort the Godly vision and perception of True and unadulterated Love of Jesus. A state of humility and surrender is never maintained. In an Affair you will never obtain a good witness and testimony before Jesus nor the Father. The Affair will never achieve the Eternal Marital Relationship with Jesus because it will always remain apart from Jesus. The Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) perverts and corrupts the power and virtue within God’s Living Letter Ayin (ע) meaning, eye, vision, perception, witness, testimony, time, and eternity).
The Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) will never transform those joined in it because the unholy fire of anger and hate will reduce the Affair to dust and ashes apart from Jesus the Redeemer and Restorer, the only One able to reform the no-form dust and ashes into something beautiful, something good. The Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) perverts and corrupts the power and virtue within God’s Living Letter Shin (ש) meaning, tooth, the symbol of fire (‘aeSh אֵשׁ Fire).
Teeth and Fire yields breaking, crushing, grinding, and burning that yield dust and ashes, or no-form.
The Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) becomes oppressive and pushes the Affair down into a pit that will only bring out the aggressive and destructive primal nature found deep within the corrupt unconscious human will. The Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) perverts and corrupts the power and virtue within God’s Living Letter QuWPh (ק) the symbol of Holiness (QeDeSh קֶדֶשׁ), the unconscious will of Man, literally meaning, ape or gorilla, man’s untamed primal nature.
God’s True Purpose and Plan is for Mankind to enter a Love (‘a-Ha-BawH אַהֲבָה [noun feminine singular] the begotten Love of Jesus that possess a feminine nature of humility and surrender, as Jesus always surrendered to his Father’s Will) Relationship with Jesus’ Love as its core and foundation.
Relationship (though the English word Relationship is not found in the Holy Bible) is the Hebrew word Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) to draw near, approach, come near, bring near. Relationship is akin to the Hebrew word QeReB (קֶרֶב) meaning, inside, inward parts, internal organs (heart, bowels), within, middle, in the midst.
Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב) will release the Power of Jesus’ Love (‘a-Ha-BawH אַהֲבָה) that will draw two hearts together into one with a shared humility and surrendered nature.
Instead of possessing an untamed primal wild ape and gorilla nature, a Relationship will tame the primal beastly nature within the heart and will of fallen finite mankind. The Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב) will root and ground two hearts together in Godliness and True Holiness (QeDeSh קֶדֶשׁ) which has it origin within the depths of the unconscious human will where only Jesus (The Humility Living Door (Dallet דֶלֶּת) and Way (DeReK דֶרֶךְ) can lead us into True Transformation (God’s Living Letter Shin (ש) meaning, tooth, the symbol of fire [‘aeSh אֵשׁ Fire]).
The Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב) will always draw our hearts and wills into subjection and surrender to the Holy Godhead that it may have Absolute Authority over our Relationship and lives. Relationship will always put God’s Headship first in all things. This power and virtue are in the Relationship through God’s Living Letter Reish (ר), containing infinite and exponential growth. It is also the basis for the Hebrew word Ro’Sh (רֹאשׁ) meaning, head, first, chief, leader, beginning, and captain. Reish (ר) in addition is the basis of the Hebrew word ReShiY-MoW (רֶשִׁימוֹ), meaning, to write down, record, to put in writing, publish, to be written, signed, and sign; it is the spiritual DNA of all created existence. God’s Headship Ro’Sh (רֹאשׁ) is Overflowing Unity and Oneness (Aleph א) and a Consuming Fire of Transformation (God’s Living Letter Shin ש).
The Source and Origin of all True Relationships are established within God’s Headship Ro’Sh (רֹאשׁ), and at the center of God’s Headship, He has established Jesus (Aleph א), the only begotten of the Unbegotten Father. The Father always place His complete confidence in Jesus. Jesus (Aleph א) is Eternally Established as the Living Unity and Oneness of the Divine Brotherhood of the Godhead. So much so is the Father’s Full Trust is in His Son as the Aleph א that He positioned him at the center pivotal point between the Reish (ר) Head and the (Shin ש) of Eternal Fire of Transformation. Without Jesus (Aleph א) at the center pivotal point of balance, all that is remaining is RawSh (רָשׁ) poor, needy, poverty, in want.
The Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב), God’s Headship (Reish ר) will lead us deeper into greater Union within the Love Relationship through its Infinite and Exponential Growth and Increase Potential. The Relationship establishes the Family Union and Unity. The Relationship establishes and builds a House of Love from within to without. This great power and virtue pours out from God’s Living Letter Beith (ב), meaning to build, in, within, enter, the tool for building by which all the remaining Living Letters are contained and brought forth from. Beith (ב) is the foundational Living Letter for a house (Baw-YiTh בָּיִת), that by its grammatical form refers to building Beith (ב) with the LORD’s Hands of Skillful Wisdom (YoWD י) and Truth (TaV ת: ToW-RaH תוֹרָה; ‘eMeTh אֱמֶת).
The Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב) cannot exist without Truth (‘eMeTh אֱמֶת) being its Foundation, Inwards, and Head, Top. There could not be a Complete and True Love
Relationship apart from Opposition: Opposition is in the center of Truth (‘eMeTh אֱמֶת), and Jesus is the Truth (‘eMeTh אֱמֶת), and without opposition the Love Relationship cannot be Complete and Perfect.
Yea, and all that will live godly (Khe-SeD חֶסֶד godly, grace, kindness, mercy) in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (2Timothy 3:12).
With Truth (‘eMeTh אֱמֶת) we have Jesus Christ as our Aleph (א) Beginning and Tav (ת) End; however, in between the Aleph (א) Beginning and Tav (ת) End there is the Living Letter Mem (מ) water (Maw-YiM מָיִם waters), waters of Humility Wisdom, Knowledge, and the Torah. Mem (מ) alpha-numeric value is 40 (the number of trials and tests); thus, in the middle of our Spiritual Journey of building our Love Relationship between Aleph (א) Beginning and Tav (ת) End there is Mem (מ) trials and tests. We need not become discouraged or give up in our Spiritual Journey because out of all the multitude of trials and tests, we will come out as a Clean (Taw-HoWR טָהוֹר pure, purity) and White (TsaKh צַח dazzling, bright, pure) of Exaltation, and White (Law-BawN לָבָן blanched, faith) of Humility Faithfulness and Clean (Taw-HoWR טָהוֹר pure, purity) Linen Garment wearing Bride and Warrior, respectively.
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the linen is the righteousness of saints (Revelation 19:7-8).
The Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב) will always bring in a new Breath of Life to share in the Love Relationship. The Love Relationship will bring greater Understanding out of all the opposition. From the ever-growing Breath of Understanding there can be greater Prudent Choices even as the opposition persists. The greater the Understanding, the greater the Humility Surrender and Subjection to God’s Headship. We will discover this power and virtue in God’s Living Letter Hei (ה) of Eternal Existence (Haw-YawH הָיָה and Haw-VaH הָוַה). This is to forever help us to encourage our souls in the midst of the oppositions that will continually arise as we grow our Love Relationship: our help and encouragement is found in the Eternal Existence of the LORD YeHoVaH יְהֹוַה. The Name of the LORD YeHoVaH יְהֹוַה is rooted in His Eternal Existence of (Haw-YawH הָיָה and Haw-VaH הָוַה).
The world will always try to turn our hearts towards a Love Affair (‘aw-SaQ עָשַׂק) and away from a Godly, Holy, and Powerful Love Relationship Qaw-Re-BaH (קָרְבַה) and QeReB (קֶרֶב).
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent (Revelation 2:4-5).
Saints of God, we have very little time remaining before the Lord Jesus Christ returns in the air to sn**ch away His Overcomers. Let us put off the Love Affairs and return to building a Love Relationship.
God bless you all,
Rev Trenton Battle
