WHERE IS THE LOVE

Love is always Holy, Righteous and True.

1 John 4:20

If a man says, I LOVE God, and that man HATES his brother, he is a LIAR: for he that LOVES NOT his brother whom he has seen, how can he LOVE God whom he has NOT seen?

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you”. (John 15:9‭-‬14 NKJV).

-Why MUST we LOVE one another? Because God COMMANDED us to do so.

John 13:34

A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you…

-Loving one another is not an option. It’s a COMMANDMENT of God!

-No one has to pre-qualify in order to get the Love of God from us. As Children of God Love is who we are and Love is what we do.

-In the ACT of LOVE God reveals Himself to the giver and to the recipient.

-When God reveals Himself in the ACT of LOVE, things will always change for the better because God is Love and Love never fails.

Love and Correction

Proverb 27:5

Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Proverb 9:8-9

…rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser…

Proverb 3:11-12

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loves he corrects…

Hebrews 12:7-8

If all of you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons…

But if all of you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are all of you bastards, and not sons.

-Continue to be wise, disciplined and mature when receiving the corrections, rebukes and chastening of the Lord. Its for our betterment and, His loves towards us.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen

This is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.

Philippians 1:9-10

My Prayer…

Gracious and Almighty God, teach me your ways and give me your heart as I strive to not only love you, but to know your will and have insight into your ways. Help me to know the best things to do today and use my time in the best way possible to live out your will in my work, with my family, among my friends, and especially before those who do not know Christ as their Savior. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord I pray.

Amen.

IT’S  TIME  

“To everything there  is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what  is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace”. (Ecclesiastes 3:1‭-‬8 NKJV).

It’s  time  to  bury your fears , and weaknesses , because  the Bible said,”For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”( 2  Timothy 1:7 NKJV).

It’s  to bury your anxieties ,because  God said,

 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things”. ( Philippians 4:6‭-‬8 NKJV).

AN INVITATION  TO ABUNDANT LIFE

“Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord , And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon”.(Isaiah 55:3‭, ‬6‭-‬7 NKJV).

“We then, as  workers together with  Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things”. (2 Corinthians 6:1‭-‬10 NKJV).

““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. (Matthew 6:31‭-‬34 NKJV).

IN CONCLUSION  

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was  it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was  it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief”.(Hebrews 3:12‭-‬19 NKJV).

WHY WORRY

IT IS NOT GOOD TO WORRY
+Worry is a waste of our time, it is unprofitable, and definitely it is the fruit of doubt, unbelief and lack of FAITH TRUST and CONFIDENCE in GOD.
+We cannot worry, trust God and be in faith at the same time.
+As children of God when we worry we are saying many things to God. Things like…
1. I don’t trust You because if I did I wouldn’t worry.
2. I don’t believe you are capable of handling my problems because if I did I wouldn’t worry.
3. We are saying to God we can trust you to save our souls and give us eternal life, but we cannot trust You to do anything else.
Jeremiah 32:26-27
26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
+Remember all things are possible by God and all things are possible to them that believe.
+Worry NOT yourselves and TRUST in the LORD. HALLELUJAH!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

GET CLEAN,BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS  

“+It doesn’t matter how bad things are:

John 6:37 

Jesus said… him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out. 

1Jn 1:9 

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all  unrighteousness. 

+In life we make mistakes, but we don’t have to continue to live in the mistake. 

+God is Merciful, Gracious and Forgiving because God is Love. 

+With a sincere heart just repent and ask God for forgiveness. 

Hebrews 8:12 

For I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and your iniquities will I remember no more. 

+It’s time to get over the mistake and move on. Jesus has never left you or forsaken you. 

+The Spirit of God is in you. You have the heart of God, the Mind of Christ and God is the Strength of your life.  

+Hallelujahs to Jesus!

Philippians 4:13 

May I remind you that you can also do all things through Christ Who strengthens you. •Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!”

NO CONDEMNATION 

​It’s amazing that some people consider the most obvious sins  like murder,stealing,etc, as sinning against God. Yet they overlook hatred,lieing,cheating,etc. 

But the Bible says all have sinned and fall short.

LISTEN:

 “..for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus”.[Romans 3:23‭-‬26].

JESUS puts an end to CONDEMNATION. 

In John 8:3-11, The scribes and Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman taken in adultery… They said to Jesus, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY? 

” Jesus said unto them, he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her”. When the men left, Jesus said unto her, woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?  She said, no man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU: go, and sin no more”. 

+It is not for us to condemn anyone for their wrongdoings. It is to take the Place of God and Judge.  

+We intercede and repent on their behalf and ask God for forgiveness for them. 

+This helps them to come to a place of repentance for themselves and help those who sin to go and sin no more.  

When we repent from our sins,refuse to do it again,by accepting  Jesus as our Lord and Savior who died for us so can be children of God. Then,we can boldly declare:

“There  is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who  live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God”[Romans 8:1‭-‬8].

Look,Romans 2:4 says,

…the goodness of God leads us to repentance.

REMEMBER  

“Greater is in You

+Whatever you are going through right now there is something greater in you to overcome it. 

1 John 4:4

…GREATER is He that is in you than he that is in the world. 

+Greater is He that is in you is God’s Holy Spirit in you. 

+He that is in the world is the devil, sickness, disease, poverty, and such like things. 

Romans 8:11

The Spirit of God Who raised up Jesus  Christ from the dead dwells in us. 

Philippians 2:13 

For it is God who works in you (by His Holy Spirit), both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 

+So, again, whatever challenges or issues we may be going through, Greater is He (the Holy Spirit) in us than he that is in the world (the devil, sickness, disease, etc. AMEN!

Holy Spirit via a brother in Christ.

LOVE NOT THE WORLD  

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things”. ( John 2:15‭-‬20 KJV).

All Decisions are Important

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
