Summary:
It's out of our love for our Father that we draw nigh to Him. Our whole drive, everything we do is based on our relationship to our Father. If I can love the Lord, I can begin to walk in the second part of the great commandment to love my neighbor as myself. This true love is the foundational stone we stand on.
Show Notes:
There is a foundation of love being created in the hearts of God's people.
This love is the new divine order that is coming forth for this present day.
We must forget the things of the past in order to enter into this new thing He is bringing in the Kingdom.
I'm going forward, I'm trusting you, Father, to lead me today. I think He wants me to walk with faith in Him and trust in Him.
Quotes:
...We're moving into the Father's order. We're moving into an order of love thy neighbor as thyself...
The foundation of the entire kingdom of God is the love of the Father.
God's bringing an order to that new creation because you're willing to walk off the ark and let Him lead you.
we've always wanted to have a purity of completeness, a closeness in our relationship to our Father.
There's a shift going on from the church to the kingdom. Instead of being a congregation that needs and moves by guidelines and rules, you'll become a family.
Scriptural References:
Luke 10:27 He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself.”
I Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
I Corinthians 13: 8-13 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Isaiah 43: 18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
II Corinthians 3:6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant – not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Take Away:
The foundational stone we stand on in this new day of His kingdom is this deep love for the Father and for one another. This is the new divine order that He is creating in the hearts of His people.

If it's out of love for the Father, that you draw nigh to him, that first step, sets in motion. The whole drive of everything you do is based upon your relationship to God. If I can love the Lord, I can walk in the second part of the great commandment: love your neighbor as yourself. There is a foundational stone that we stand on. Right next to the great Cornerstone is our love for Him, opens the door for the love of one another. If I deny my love for you, I just denied my love for your Father.

With a scripture that comes to mind as you're talking is, can you have faith to move mountains, can give your body to be burned. You can have all wisdom and knowledge and revelation but without love it profits me nothing. So I think it's true that love is a foundational stone that we stand on. But without the love and humility, I think you go off really quick.
Dale
Well, what are we moving into, we're moving into the Father's order. We're moving into an order of love thy neighbor as thyself, what God's doing today is not a throwback, the order that He's bringing is new; It's never been on the earth before.

That the foundation of the entire kingdom of God, entire foundation is the love of the Father. And I think that as we move deeper into the Father's love, the more all of this stuff just becomes simple. Because we're all have learned and are learning, but we've learned to what it means to be in submission to the Lord Jesus Christ. I recognize Him when He speaks through you. And I hope you can recognize Him when He speaks through me. It's a recognition of Christ, the word flowing through us. It is the thing of spirit. And you can't really define the realm of spirit, it just is, and we just walk in it. But I think the foundation is the love of God being created in our hearts, first unto Him and then into one another.
Ron
All the lines that we have put up on our minds, like you were saying - apostles, prophets - all that type of stuff, our submission, all this, I think it kind of disappears. As you move into the love of God, it just doesn't matter. It's like you got to lose the past, you got to forget the things that are past.
Roger
And if we try to follow the letter of the word that we heard in days past and try to apply it according to the letter, we're missing it, they will just become to nothing. The word is not wrong or false. We can walk in the spirit of it. It's the spirit of that word coming through us. And the spirit of that word, it changes. It's changed, not what it was in days gone by. It's a fresh revelation of the Lord that's coming. And that's no dishonoring of anything of days gone by. It's just that the letter of that word is gone. Only the spirit of it remains. There's no substitute for walking in the Spirit. We're all been brought to the place where we walk in the Spirit.

It's a childlike spirit that just walks with trust and belief in the Father. I think that's why he chose the lame, the halt, and the blind. If you get caught up in the intellectual things are trying to defy I mean things. It just trips you up. But if you're like a child and you go, Okay, I don't understand. But I'm going forward. I'm trusting you, Father to lead me today. Because I think he wants you to walk with faith in Him and trust in Him. And He does give you like I said, revelation, but whatever He wants you to know. And if he doesn't want you to know it, does that mean you stop walking?

There's a shift going on from the church to the kingdom. Instead of being a congregation that needs and moves by guidelines and rules, you'll become a family, All under the same spirit. Different anointing s, different assignments, but the family of the Father, He's the head, He's the Father is not many rules.
Dale
One rule, Love the Lord your God.
