A True Love Feast: The First Love Of Eden Restored
Would You Like To Experience A True Love Feast?
True Love feasts, rather than being something new, are as ancient as Eden itself. These gatherings are simply life as it would have been had Adam and Eve never sinned. These Holy Spirit centered gatherings are a natural outflow of the restoration of the first love of Eden.
Christ says,
“that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. “
John 14:17 (NASB)
Intimacy is central to a true Love Feast because intimacy is central to God. The Holy Spirit dwells in you, specifically in your reproductive organs. This is so due to the fact, when you conceive a child, God has to be there to create a spirit with you. Flesh can bring forth flesh, but it takes the union of God and man to bring forth an eternal soul.
Love feast intimacy is more than sex
Natural minded people (of which we are all guilty) equate intimacy with sex. Many Christians, consciously or unconsciously, equate sex with sin. Therefore, if you have a love feast where intimacy is present, many automatically assume its sinful.
Unfortunately, fallen lucifer sets up believers to fear all things intimate exactly to prevent them from experiencing a true Love Feast. Satan in no way wants the body of Christ to go back to the garden and experience the first love of Eden. If we return to our prefallen state, through yielding to God’s Divine Love as we once did, the Devil loses.
God created us to love Him through one another
A true love feast is exactly what it sounds like; a feast characterized by love. However, this love is not an earthly affection, but true love given from above. It is the nature of YHWH expressed through the Body of Christ to other believers. As such, it is pure, holy, and deeply intimate.
When I say intimate, I do not mean sexual intercourse. I mean a closeness born of heaven, a familiarity that God leads and guides. We touch our own bodies all the time and think nothing of it. In a like manner, with similar familiarity, the Body of Christ sits next to, holds, and caresses each other and thinks nothing of it either.
True love given from above
To most, such love is a distant memory. The last time we experienced such unconscious liberty was around age 5. We faintly remember total acceptance from our mother or grandmother, but as we grew it became obviously such love was a thing of the past.
However, each of us longs to be held and loved like that again. The wonderful thing is, as people experience Love Feasts and the first love of Eden restored, that is exactly the type of love they receive. A true Love feast is everything contained in 1 Corinthians 13. It is selfless, pure affection such as this world has rarely seen since the time of Christ.
Embrace love feasts
If you are Spirit filled, you already have everything necessary to love like this living inside you. The love of God, His very nature, desires to reveal Himself to others. All that is required is that you give up control to Him, allowing Him to live His life through you.
Lastly, you do not need to fear doing this, because the end result is that you become like Christ. Christ never did anything wrong to anyone because He only did what His father showed Him to do. Thus, if you yield to that same Holy Spirit, you will live a perfect life characterized by Divine Love too.
Beloved,
Wow, I just love revelation! This is about as thrilling as it gets. When I write I experience the things I pen. I “get it” through the Holy Spiirit. To see God put together all this is amazing. To taste what is coming just makes me wept for joy! No wonder Jesus chose to suffer for a moment in order to have those things God set before Him.
In the future, when everything in this world seems bleak and tragic, it is the Divine Love of God shared among believers that sustains us. We will know, through experience, what awaits those who love God. The things of this present life will seem drab in comparison.
This is unfolding revelation of DIvine Love and the expanse and depth of it is simply breath taking. Wow, wow, wow. It is so good to be a Christian!
Hugs,
Michael
Dear Connections,
A word about the use of the human form on this website.
As you will notice, I sometimes use nudity or partial nudity in pictures on this website. It took me a long time to decide whether or not to do this, because many in Christianity do not approve of naked human form. However, after much consideration, I have come to the conclusion, that where appropriate, and to illustrate the essay in question, I will use such photos.
I deal a lot with Christian intimacy and sexuality within a Tabernacles context. In order to fully communicate what God is showing, I must have a full pallet of expression available to me. While I do use tasteful photos, I do not shy away from using those that accurately portray the points I am making.
Lastly, though I do put some cautions on essays which I feel may be particularly challenging to conventional sensibilities, I don’t put qualifications on everything. For some, most of what I share offends them, therefore warning of everything they might not want to read or see could become a full time job.
Finally, when I do caution people about certain essays it is more to give them a chance to decide whether or not they want to know the truth. Many times, once you read what I write, you cannot “un-read” it. Therefore, like in the case of Divine Divorce, knowing the truth of God makes you responsible for it. If you are not ready to listen, hear, and obey what God speaks, it is better you simply don’t know.
Sincerely,
Michael
