While in prayer recently, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper, “The sons of God are manifesting.” My soul leaped as He spoke, for it resonated deeply within me—a truth so alive that it seemed to materialize within my heart at that very moment. It was as if the spoken word had taken on flesh, revealing itself in the depths of my spirit.
To truly understand this love, God is teaching us to love ourselves in the light of Christ’s love, for it is only through knowing our identity as sons of God that we can give His love fully. Jesus reminds us of this foundation: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39 NIV)
This journey has felt like a season of deep and unrelenting spiritual heart surgery. It’s a weight upon us, almost indescribable, hinting at a spectacular transformation. The Word of God says in Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. This has been the cry of His people.
The ongoing sense of this great metamorphosis is that God is preparing something within the heart of man and it’s coming to fruition. God has been reaching into the deepest places within His people, exposing the core of who we truly are. We have met ourselves face to face.
In these types of seasons, He brings us to the hidden recesses of the heart, revealing the unhealed places that are tucked away. It reveals the layers of hidden pain and rejection we may have long ignored. This excavation has caused us to feel as if we were bleeding at times. The uncovering of raw and tender wounds leaves us vulnerable and able to see our current state. It has even left us weak at moments, questioning what was really going on in our lives.
Through this uncovering and overturning of all things, God has come with His alignment and divine order for our lives. The destiny of God’s Sons revealed. Yet, take courage, for the Lord is saying to us today,— “I had to go deep within to remove the spots, the blemishes, and the twisted places. I needed to reveal ‘you’—to you—so that you could ultimately see Me in the outcome.” This process, though painful and isolating, is a preparation, a sanctifying work. It is meant to reveal God within you.
The Refiner is refining His most treasured masterpieces—His children’s hearts. “For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” —Romans 8:14 AMP
The layers, rooms, and compartments of the heart had to be cleansed and prepared for what lies ahead. It is His powerful Bride rising up with pure hearts in this hour. There is a distinction between those who are led by God and those who have chosen to walk according to the ways of the flesh. The Sons of God are those who are consecrated unto Him.
They reveal the love of Jesus beyond just a natural expression. They operate in demonstration.— “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV)
This is the love Jesus calls us to embody—a love that shines in and liberates the hearts of men. The sons of God will reflect the humility, love, goodness, holiness, and peace of Jesus. The harvest is ready, and as the days draw nearer, countless hearts will open to receive the love of Jesus Christ.
And as the sons of God are being revealed, this work of inner healing and reconstruction is for the greater glory. He is forming a people who will rise up, exchanging any counterfeit they had, and accepting the real love of Jesus. I am deeply reminded of many well-known voices who have boldly walked with God. Though they did great miracles, signs, and wonders it was love that they spoke of. Love that remains the center of all things.
To encounter love is to encounter the true and living God. May we desire, yearn, and seek to understand more and more, the fullness and depth of the love of Jesus.
Ephesians 3:17-19 – “So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” (NIV)
