LOVING GOD IS A WISE CHOICE

Loving God is a wise choice to be spiritually and eternally secure in the love and grace of God.

Choosing God, and asking His Son, Jesus Christ, to be your savior is the wisest choice you can ever make in this life. No other choice compares to it. If you fail to make this choice you will have failed in all of life in every area of life for eternity.

LOVE, “GOD’S LOVE” will come into your heart, soul, spirit, and mind to deliver you and set you free from the burden of your guilt, shame, and sin. You will become born again, and become God’s blessed, anointed, favored, and new creation by inviting Jesus to come into your own heart to live with you always into eternity. He will become your Lord, Master, Savior, Redeemer, Friend, and closest companion from now on wherever you go. His love will drive away the loneliness, fear, and fulfill every longing, desire, and fulfillment that God has created in you to fulfill for His Purpose in this life.

Say it and pray it now, don’t hesitate. Love is a decision and a choice, not a feeling.

Lord Jesus, I humble myself and I ask you to come into my heart, forgive all my sins; past, present, and future. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. I thank you for dying for me and giving me your love and grace in exchange for all my sins. I ask for your grace, understanding, wisdom, and power to live a new life in me for you that is worthy to fulfill all my purpose in this life, which is to be loved by God. I accept God’s love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, and I thank Jesus for dying on the cross for me and paying the penalty for all my sins. I accept my new creation body as the new, temple of the Holy Spirit in me to honor and obey Jesus and follow him as his new disciple to learn and grow in the Christian faith for God’s glory.

From now on; each day, and all day; I will thank and praise ‘Jesus, the worthy Lamb of God’ to receive glory, honor, strength, and power in my life.

I will turn around, repent, and stop sinning against God; myself, my family, and others, as I have been doing; by the grace and power of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God my Father. I pray that you will make me (One) with you and set me on a new course of love for God. Come into and occupy my heart, my house, my personal life, my family, my job, my business, and all my relationships. Teach me to meditate and obey your laws, precepts, and commandments; so, I will not sin against you; and I will honor and love you with all my strength, mind, and body. I know I cannot do this in my own strength; so, I place my trust and faith in you to give me all I need to live a new life of love for you. I give you the keys to every area of my life, and I give you the right and authority to change my life, for my good, and your glory, and to love you with all my heart in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 Psalms 119:1-16

By living according to your word. 10) I will seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 11) I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 12) Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees. 13) With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. 14) I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16) I delight in your decrees;

I will not neglect your word. READ AND MEDITATE ON Psalms 119: It will change you spiritually.

GRACE-LAW-LIBERTY-LOVE

There is a lot being said today about Grace and Law, but not God’s universal Law of Love. God is love, and His love is forgiving, merciful, kind, truthful, humble, gracious, genuine, honest, believable, accepting, and according to the bible love is the greatest thing (since sliced pie) in the universe. So why are not more people loving God and benefiting more as a result?

Many of the “Christians” I meet today are practicing sloppy agape love. The concept behind this thinking and practice is Jesus forgives all our sins and I can do as I please because of His grace and forgiveness. There are consequences to disobeying God’s law intentionally after you have been saved. Many people think and are foolishly being taught and believing that since God’s grace covers all our sins; it even brings a reward, prosperity, and blessing while they are still living in their sins of disobedience. “The wicked take the kingdom by violence (sexual violence); they take it by force” This is a false teaching, and it deserves no reward, or merit, and it needs to be overcome by God’s grace, truth, and mercy. Mt. 7: 22, 23.

Take for instance; the universal law of gravity God created. You can go to any high place or cliff, and jump off, yes, and suffer the consequences. No reward there. But a broken body will teach you that it was not a wise choice to defy the law of gravity; but you are free to do so. It is called being dumb and dumber because of ignorance. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him. James 1: 5”.

You can break any moral and physical law you want; you are free to do so and you are at liberty; and are free to suffer the consequences to the perfect law of liberty. You are perfectly free and at liberty to enjoy all the punishment, grief, pain, and sorrow you choose. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Fear the Lord as in the universal law of gravity; it is no respecter of persons. You break it, and it will break you. Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength, and your neighbor (fellow Christian), as yourself. This is the first and the greatest commandment…… On this hang (universally) all the law and the prophets.” Mt. 23: 37-40.” Jesus said, “Not one jot or one tittle of the law will pass away; until all things are fulfilled”. Mt. 5:18” Jesus is referring to the law of love, which is eternal and universal, and it takes the Grace of Jesus to fulfill it all. Jesus has fulfilled all the law on the cross and gave us power to do the same. We can’t do it ourselves, but we can ask and choose God’s grace, mercy, and love hourly and daily to empower us. “God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.” God’s law of love is good; not condemning, or legalistic, and it will make you whole; you will receive strength if you obey and fulfill it.

It is by Christ’s grace alone and by inviting Jesus into your heart and asking Him to forgive all your sins that set you free. After Jesus healed the sick man at the pool he said, “Now you are well; so, stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you. John 5:14” Sounds strong for a new convert but that was Jesus saying it is possible, it is expected, and it needs to be taught just like Jesus did. It does not mean you will be sinless if you live, but it does mean Jesus has given you His grace and power to make it possible to not fall back into grave sins that will afflict you and cause you greater harm even than before, and it needs to be taught to the new converts at conversion. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength, and your neighbor, (others) as yourself.”

Fear to disobey God’s universal laws of His love, understand them, study them, and know the need to respect the truth; and not sin that deadly sin again, or seven more wicked spirits than before will enter you and you will be worse off than before. It is a spiritual law, and it needs to be taught to the new converts at conversion. We should not be timid to tell those in peril; don’t drink poison anymore or you will die; or seriously hurt your body; which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The Cross of Jesus and the Holy Spirit have given us His power. “You shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses. Acts 2:38” The Holy Spirit enables you immediately to live a new life filled with power to overcome sin, evil, and love God and your fellowman wisely as Jesus commanded. Jesus enables you to shake off your grave clothes and walk freely in Christ. Jesus died for our sins not our excuses.

Roy Hession wrote in his book THE CALVARY ROAD that; if we are willing to call any imperfection in our life as sin; we can be free by confessing it as sin, rather than making excuses. It is like spiritual breathing daily. “If we confess our sins; He is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9” It is based on the trustworthiness, guarantee, and promise of Jesus to deliver us. “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Rev 5:12.” “What can wash away my sins; nothing but the blood of Jesus” by song writer Robert Lowry.

We make the gospel too hard, complicated, and difficult to follow and cause many on their road to Calvary, and through Calvary, to stumble, be misunderstood, and hinder their growth. Next to the Bible: I highly recommend THE CALVARY ROAD a must reading for all Christians to understand and simplify their journey to Heaven here on earth. It was written by a missionary Roy Hession when he was on furlough, and it is inspired by the Holy Spirit. I have followed and operated in these laws and principles for many years, and I know it works because I use it daily. The simplicity of the cross should not be denied, castigated, or diminished due to complex problems and issues in our lives. “The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand. Ps 119:130”. The bottom line of Calvary is: Jesus came to die for our sins, and this is the only way to get rid of them. Jesus gave the perfect sacrifice for all sins once and for all. Jesus desires our sins, iniquities, and failures; that is why he died; if we don’t give them to him it makes his work at the cross ineffective because we are hanging onto them. “What can wash away my sins; nothing but the blood of Jesus” by song writer Robert Lowry.

Listen to the words of Jesus.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the law until all is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees and teachers of the law you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Mt. 5:17-20

We can never diminish God’s grace or totally understand it; and in the same token we cannot rule out and invalidate by grace; God’s universal unseen laws as inconsequential to our behavior and actions to hold us accountable. It is like the unseen law of physics: to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; and it also applies to all spiritual laws of good and evil. “The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy making wise the simple. Ps 19:7.”

God’s love will always prove faithful, and our obedience will confirm the blessing through faith in his will. Know the word by reading and studying the bible as a daily source of spiritual food and knowledge to grow up and be a new person in Christ Jesus as his newly created believer. “O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your covenant and keep your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and obey your commands. Dan 9:4.”

We must daily wash ourselves in the blood of Jesus through confession of our daily sins, forgive ourselves, others, and keep short accounts with God, Jesus Christ our Savior, through the Holy Spirit

COLUMBUS DAY INSPIRATION

THE GRACE AND GLORY OF GOD

The grace and glory of God is shared by all who have accepted Christ and are obedient to God’s calling to humble ourselves and allow God’s glory to fill us each day. We are God’s transmitters assigned to give God glory as chosen vessels of faith, meekness, and righteousness as we walk faithfully and obediently each day with God.

“Faith is one of God’s good gifts. We do not have to labor to try and produce it ourselves. To every poor slave of self who really desires it, is given the power to respond in obedience to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” God’s Transmitters, p. 46. “You have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of us; it too is a gift from God. Eph 2:8 TLB, by Hannah Hurnard.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Let us encourage one another to go exploring further along the way of glad obedience to God and acceptance of his will, whereby the eyes of our understanding will be enlightened.” Winged Life, p. 27. “Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart. Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.” Ps 119: 34-35 NRSW, by Hannah Hurnard.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is the humble, faithful, meek, and obedient lover of God that carries out the work of Christ in quiet, hidden, unseen, and anonymous ways to the glory of God that will make a difference in our nation. We don’t have to shout it from the roof tops to be heard by God, our Father, but “pray in your closets in secret and God will reward us openly”. “Our obedience is better than sacrifice”.

The faithful lovers of God who have the knowledge, faith, understanding, virtue, wisdom, and stick-to-it obedience; will make the difference in America’s outcome and be a remnant of God’s glory, faith, and love. “Do everything as unto the Lord, and not unto man.” “Therefore, my beloved, ………………work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” Phil 2: 12-14 RSV.

Those with wisdom and understanding take heart. God sees and hears all things. His reward is with Him when Jesus returns.

Live as Citizens of Heaven

27 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News. 28 Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself. 29 For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him. 30 We are in this struggle together. You have seen my struggle in the past, and you know that I am still in it.

Have the Attitude of Christ

2 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,

    he did not think of equality with God

    as something to cling to.

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;

    he took the humble position of a slave

    and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form,

8     he humbled himself in obedience to God

    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor

    and gave him the name above all other names,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,

    to the glory of God the Father.

Shine Brightly for Christ

12 Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

14 Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. 16 Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. 17 But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God,[k] just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. 18 Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy. Phil 1:27-30, 2:1-18 NLT.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO WAS SLAIN

FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD

Jesus the Lamb of God is Worthy to take us through the end times safely. Love, trust, obey, honor, fellowship, commune, humble and submit yourself to Jesus in all things, in every area of your life daily. He will bless, protect, love you, and never fail you.

Rev.” Jesus will make a way for you when there is no other way.

Say it often, say it out loud to yourself, repeat the words over and over, “Worthy is the Lamb”. It will carry you through the day, strengthen your faith, and bless your thoughts and help you focus on Jesus; it will drive away your fears, and dry your tears. We will receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing with Jesus, as heirs, and sons, and daughters of God.

Blessings and Warnings at the beginning and ending of the Prophecy of Revelations for all readers, translators, and teachers.

KJV Rev 1: 3 “Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy and blessed are those who read it and take it to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

KJV Rev 22:18-21. “18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book. 20 He which testifies these things saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

______________________________________________________________________

KJV Rev 4:11. “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honors and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

KJV Rev 5: 10-14. “10 And thou hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard me saying, “Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell and worshipped him that lives forever and ever.”

KJV Rev. 14:3-5. “3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the 144,000, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.”

Repentance without Truth is Impossible

“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. Jonah 2:8 KJV”

Five out of the seven churches that Jesus addressed in Revelations received letters of complaint, rebuke, chastisement, and judgment; including removing their name from the Book of Life and getting what they deserve.

Ps 85:10 KJV “Mercy and truth are met together; righteous and peace have kissed each other.” God is always merciful to everyone who confesses their sins, repents, forsakes, and turns away from their pathway of sin and unrighteousness. But Jesus cannot forgive lying vanities, and false imaginations because they are denying the truth that they have sinned, and therefore cannot be forgiven. Jesus forgives all sins that we confess and acknowledge. All secret sins God says will be exposed and brought to the light if they have not been brought under the blood of Jesus by confessing them. Jesus said to the woman at the well, “Neither do I condemn you, Go and sin no more; lest a worse thing come upon you.” Those who remain in sexual impurity and refuse to repent are under the wrath of God; they have no self-control; … “having eyes full of adultery that cannot cease from sin.” Jesus is speaking to and warning the Church not the world. The world does not know or belong to Jesus.

Jesus’ message to the churches is to prepare us and get us ready for His second coming, the rapture, and the hour of testing that will come upon all the earth. God will reward the obedient with His Heavenly crowns. He warns us that we should not let anyone take (steal) our crown. Rev 3:11 “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”

How can anyone take your crown away? I believe; it is by seducing you into a sexual relationship outside of God’s will and bringing you into God’s judgment. The bible says that we will have to give an account to God for all the sins committed in the body. Yes, we are instantly forgiven when we ask forgiveness, but a purification process must follow to rebuild their life with His love, grace, and mercy for right thinking, healing, deliverance, and reconciliation. A lot of damage has been done to their soul, mind, spirit; because they have taken in wicked spirits into their body; the temple of God. The body has been cleansed and swept clean by the Holy Spirit through confession of sins to remove all the evil, controlling, and dominating spirits. When we have been cleansed, and we sin again; the last state of that person is worse than before, God says. Jesus must become the Lord of your temple and given authority by you for a lasting permanent healing and purity. Committing sexual sins puts a person in a bad mental state that causes confusion, disobedience, anger, and hate for God and His Word.

Sexual immorality is the tool of choice that the enemy uses today and will use in the end times to get people to turn away from God, and turn cold, hardening their hearts, denying the truth, and lying about their sins; so, they will not receive God’s mercy. It does the maximum damage in the shortest period and destroys the love of God in our hearts very quickly. Mark13:22-23 “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect—if that were possible. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.” NIV

The Message to the Church in Thyatira

“Rev 2:18-29 NLT. Write this letter to the angel of the Church in Thyatira. This is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes are like flames of fire, whose feet are like polished bronze:

“19 I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your faith, your

service, and your patience. And I can see your constant improvement in

all things. 20 But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting

that woman-that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet- to lead my servants

astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to

idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away

from her immorality. 22 Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering,

and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they

repent and turn away from her evil deeds. 23 I will strike her children

dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches

out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each

of you whatever you deserve.

24 But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not

followed this false teaching (deeper truths,’ as they call them-depths of

Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you 25 except that you hold

tightly to what you have until I come. 26 To all who are victorious, who

obey me to the very end,

To them I will give authority over all the nations. 27 They will

rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots. 28 They

will have the same authority I have received from my Father, and I will

also give them the morning star! 29 Anyone with ears to hear must listen

to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”

To the Church in Philadelphia

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars_ I will make them to come and fall at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also [keep you from the hour of trial] that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the city of my God the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from God; and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Rev 3: 7-13. NIV”

Do You Love Jesus and Obey God? Where is the proof?

I John 2: 1-6 KJV:

1) “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3) And hereby we do know that that we know him, if we keep his commandments.4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6) He that saith he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”

I John 2: 1-6 NIV:

1) “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2) He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 3) We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4) The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5) But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know that we are in him: 6) Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

God is speaking to us as children; (they are open, humble, receptive, gentle, graceful, eager, and obedient); they hear and speak the word gladly as a loudspeaker; the pure words; just as they hear it and hold nothing back.

We also must have the heart of a child to obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”; because our own selfish, self centered, stubborn hearts, lusts; and the loud attraction of the world will deceive us. It will pull us away into sin and make our hearts cold toward God to drown out the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit. Then we become disobedient, deceived, rebellious, double minded, unfaithful, religious, and corrupt people. We are no longer recognizable as Christians because our hearts have become hard, impure, seduced by immorality, and we no longer hear the message and the love of God. We become cold; just as Jesus warned will happen; in the latter days just before Jesus returns, and we will be surprised and not ready for “the hour of trial, which is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. Rev 3: 10b NIV.” “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10 KJV.

Do you love Jesus and obey Gods commands? Where is the proof?

Acts 2:38, 39 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” KJV

SIGNS OF THE END

Matt 24:32-44 RSV

32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summertime is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 36 But of that day no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son but the Father only. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. 38 For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so, shall the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Ex: 20:20 “Don’t be afraid,” Moses answered them, “(fear God). … so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!” Fear God and keep His commandments to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength, and your neighbor as yourself.”

What would you do different this week; if you knew for certain that Jesus is returning on Friday at the 5:00 pm rush hour this week? Would you re-prioritize your time and make sure you and your family are ready??? We won’t have that ability to know the exact day or hour; and only God, the Father, knows the day or the hour; not even Jesus, or the angels. We must walk by faith, not by sight, read the Bible, and trust God, and watch and pray as we are instructed. Don’t be taken by surprise!!

John 5:25-27: NLT “And I assure you the time is coming, indeed it is here now, when the dead will hear my voice-the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. The Father has life in Himself, and He has granted the same life-giving power to His Son. And He has given Him authority to judge everyone because He is the Son of Man.”

God is speaking now, today, and those who listen will live. God is speaking today to those who hear now and listen, and are currently living in the valley of death; and to

have defied the covenant of God; the rebellious, haters of God, lovers of self; those who think God does not see, hear, bring any judgment, or account against them for continued disobedience and deception. God has spoken in His Word and God will bring His fear upon those who are in a death covenant against Him. You know who you are, and it will bear witness with you for good or for evil. Pray that you will hear, listen, and live.

===============================================================

Those who practice the love of God as He commands us to “love one another as He has loved us” are not without recourse for justice and judgment and bringing into account the wicked, and the love of God. God has the final word. God has been patient, kind, long suffering, forgiving, and merciful. But the evildoers and disobedient will be brought to a final and quick end; in a moment when they don’t expect, in the twinkling of an eye.

Loving God is Not a weak passive choice, but a humble choice of obedience, love, trust, and reverence to God that He will give His forgiveness, justice, love, and mercy to all who believe in Him and wait for God to redeem them here on earth and in Heaven.

If you say you “love” God with all your heart and are not obeying His commands; then your love is not complete because of your disobedience to God. “We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, I know Him,” but does not do the commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.” I John 2:3-6 NIV”

“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still living in darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. I John 2: 9-11 NIV”

Love-Jealousy-Fear-Control

Out of disease, sickness, turmoil, anger, depression, rage, separation, anxiety, fear, jealousy, control, envy, insecurity, despair, darkness, and hopelessness comes our humanity and sinful selfish nature. It had to be redeemed by the Savior of the World.

God sent His Only Son Jesus as His Love connection to a world of humans that hated

and rejected Him. We are utterly helpless, useless, impotent, and unfit to operate and control our own world and those around us.

Love came down to earth, showed us how to live on earth, left the earth, went back to Heaven, and will return for a pure and spotless bride to live with Christ in peace, love, joy, harmony, and heavenly blessing. Jesus gave His life and blood to redeem us and reconcile God’s plan for mankind. I said all that to say this. This is where love begins; it starts with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and You. “We love God because He first loved us.”

Let’s start out by calling out the fruits of the Holy Spirit given to us from the tree of life through Jesus Christ. They are the fruits represented on the tree of life that Jesus provided for us by His gift of love that we can pick from the tree of life for our spiritual nutrition, enjoyment, satisfaction, health, spiritual sustenance, growth, and pleasure.

Gal 5:23,24 (NLT) says: “The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things.” Meaning it is a completely positive source of energy, state of mind and being that produces Heavenly living and existence in our life here on earth; it changes things. “It is not of our own self works; lest any person should boast. Eph 2: 8,9.” First, we have to see the fruit of the spirit on the tree of life spiritually; then we consciously choose it; then we pick the fruit on the tree, and we eat it; it becomes our choice, spiritual possession, and we take ownership. You eat it, experience it, it brings new life, energy, and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit will bless you, and it does not hurt others. Why does God say there is no law against it? Because it is Supernatural, Heavenly, and Good! It is out of this world good as in the Garden of Eden!

When you operate in the realm of love by the Holy Spirit you are choosing and doing things that will build up your life, others, and the Kingdom of God. You are acting out the love of God consciously, voluntarily, and bringing Heaven down to earth in your daily living. The product is self-control, love, peace, and maturity. You are at peace with God, yourself, and others because you are God’s blessing. You are focusing on the spiritual love of God by exercising your choices in a positive way each day, all day, and every day.

Our goal should be to teach God’s love to make others free, mature, and whole; not become captured saints milling around like scared, fearful, and confused sheep following the law. Many have an unhealthy, fearful, jealous, envious, manipulative, and controlling focus on the law; the letter brings death; and they create fearful people to follow them; rather than Jesus. Jesus is our Shepherd; who willingly died for us; and you can rely on Him for all things, and all truth, He will never leave us or forsake us. There are many false and hypocritical people in sheep’s clothing. Where there is money there you will find all the sins and control of money, abuse, and power. Let’s just call control what it is: SIN. When the focus is on controlling others; it is fear and jealousy that is manipulating it. We are being disobedient to God by not loving others as Jesus commands, and it causes a negative focus on others to draw your attention away from God, but “Love never fails” I Cor 13: 8”. Pray for all our leaders who are under tremendous pressure to

compromise truth.

“John 13: 34, 35 (NLT) says, “So now I am giving you a new commandment: love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” That means letting go and letting God mold, craft, and make each person into His Image. Churches have a tendency to want to make clones, but God’s love is creative. God accepts each person as a unique individual; we are all fearfully and wonderfully created and shaped as a snowflake; no other molds exist; but we still try to make others like us.

Be like a tree of life to others which is the most difficult thing anyone can do, especially men. All the natural (fleshly) strengths, attributes, and desires are to go and conquer; be macho. Jesus has already conquered us (our libido’s-male and female); our sinful desires and ways we try to control each other [rather than love each other]; along with death, hell, and the grave. We cannot save ourselves. We must choose to eat the fruit of the tree of life (Jesus-Holy Spirit) daily, accept Jesus as our source of spiritual food, life, wisdom, livelihood, survival, and inheritance. Jesus promised us that His patience will perfect us to become like Him and be a tree of life through His Son Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was hung on a tree, crucified, resurrected, ascended to Heaven, and He sent His Holy Spirit to produce fruit in us to overcome the world, and be His joint heirs in Heaven with Him in Glory. Be a tree of life to others; stand for something good; be immoveable; planted by the rivers of water. “Ps.1”

“I Cor 13:8 says: “Love never fails”. It means: if you submit all your thoughts, feelings, emotions, decisions, relationships, knowledge, and prophecies to God’s love filter; before you take any action on them. It will stand the test of love, truth, wisdom, knowledge, and prove to you what the will of God is for you; and what is not His will for you. By exercising love, patience, self-control, and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit we must wait on the Lord to prove what is best and right for us. You will grow wiser, stronger, more confident, secure, and become whole in the process to maturity in Christ.

Agree with God and exercise the fruits of the Holy Spirit in His power; by making wise, humble, forgiving, and loving patient choices to walk in God’s blessings of obedience to love God and others. Hang the love filter [I Cor 13] on your refrigerator door and carry it with you wherever you go. Test everything with God’s love filter and you will be blessed and not deceived. You will receive a new mind; the mind of Christ; in the process. You will make a lot fewer mistakes, less humiliation, be more confident, and wiser. Wisdom and humility is God’s strength, favor, blessing, and glory by His Grace. God is Love.

Don’t be like the fool who says, “don’t just stand there, do something; move, follow, or get out of the way.” That is a recipe for disaster, aggression, and dysfunction.

Ponder, meditate, and submit yourself to God’s love teaching. Love must be taught and intentional; not caught. You will be glad you did. Love is so empowering to everyone who exercises it. We overcome fear through love. “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because God loved us first. I John 4:18,19 NIV”. So, the absence of love is fear. Behind every fear is a (devil, sin, or insecurity) wanting to destroy us, and get us to make bad choices to humiliate and disgrace God’s creation, and to disrupt our lives. The devil fears and hates real genuine love. Love is a gift, a choice, a command, a commitment, and a goal!

Test your thoughts, feelings, emotions, decisions, relationships, knowledge, and prophecies with God’s Love Filter? I Corinthians 13

I Corinthians 13 - The Love Chapter – (KJV) – The Love filter

1) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as a sounding brass, or a tingling cymbal.

2) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

3) And though I bestow all goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.

4) Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not-is not jealous; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up.

5) Doth not behave itself unseemly-rude, seeks not her own way, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil:

6) Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth:

7) Bears all things, believeth all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8) Love never fails but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10) But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11) When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12) For now, we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as I am known.

13) And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
