                          Love Them To Life                        

I have a love and a passion for the lost and it is My utmost desire for
them to turn to Me and be saved.  That is why I came into this word and 
died on Calvary, that they might have life.  The lost are not the enemy.
rather, they are the target of My love.  They are a prize of great worth, 
for I value each of them and yearn for them and desire them.

Many of them do not want the life I have to offer them because they have 
misconceptions about Me.  They do not understand what it is that I offer 
to them or how much I love them. They do not realize that what I give to 
them is life and peace and joy.  I love them with a great passion and I 
desire to bind their wounds and dry their tears and heal their bodies and 
meet their needs, if only they would turn to Me.

Many of them have been wrongly told that all I have to offer them is rules 
and restrictions, form and ritual.  This is because many of My church, for 
a season, did not carry My love, did not function in My power and did 
not offer abundant life and had no solutions to the problems of the world.  
This must change -- the lost must know about My love and about My peace 
and about My joy and about the abundant life that I give.  They must 
discover that I have the power to overcome their problems and that I have 
the desire to do this for them. 

And you, My child, must become the agent of My love to reach the lost.  You 
must show them My love. You must heal their bodies to demonstrate how My 
love is wrapped in the power to effect a difference in their lives.  

When I physically walked on the earth, I healed the sick and I sought and 
saved the lost and showed them the good news for the Kingdom Of God.  Now I 
walk this earth through My body, the church.  You are My hands and My feet 
and My body on this earth.  That is why I have called you to be My witnesses
and why I am sending you to love the lost back to life in Me.  So show them 
My love and demonstrate My ability to be a real solution to the problems 
that they face.  Demonstrate it to them in real and tangible ways, not 
just with talk.  Love them to life, so that they will come to understand 
the good news of the gospel and be open to it.

When I walked this earth, I sought and saved the lost.  Now I send you 
in My power and in My authority and in My love to go and do the same.  So 
go to those who are not yet in My kingdom and show them My ways. 
Never cease to demonstrate My love to them.  Manifest My power in their 
midst, solve their problems and heal their sick and let them know that I 
am real.  Show them that I am a God of power and love who they can trust 
to deliver them from their problems and save them from their sin and from 
their sorrow and from their sickness and disease.  Love them in My love.  
Love them to life in Me.
