UNCONDITIONAL  LOVE  

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.(John 3:16 NKJV).

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 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, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love”. (1 Corinthians 13:1‭-‬8‭, ‬13 NKJV).

“Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever”. (1 John 2:15‭-‬17 AMP).

LET’S WALK IN THE LOVE OF GOD

1 John 4:19 We love him because He first loved us.
1 John 4:7 For Love is Of God. Roman 13:10 Love is the fulfilling of the law. Roman 5:5 Love Of God is shed abroad in our heart. Psalm 18:1 I will love thee, Oh Lord. Matthew 22:37 Love The Lord Thy God. John 14:23 If a man love me, He will keep my Word. Deuteronomy 6:5 Shall love the Lord thy God. Throughout the Bible God reminds us the importance “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”.( Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 19:19, 22:39, Galatians 5:14, James 2:8).If we are not demonstrating this love
1 John 4:8 we knoweth not God, For God Is Love. 1 John 4:12 If we love one another. Ephesians 5:2 We will walk in Love as Christ hath loved.

OUR WORLD NEEDS Spiritual Anger Management .

James 1:19-20

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath (or to get anger);For the wrath (or anger) of man works not the righteousness of God.

•Resist and avoid anger at all cost.

James 3:18

…the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Philippians 4:7

And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

•Where there is love, joy and peace anger must cease. Continue in love, joy and peace.

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

GODS GRACE

Grace is God’s un-merritted favor,towards us. He gave us a priceless gift that we didn’t deserve , worked,nor ask for.

What’s sad is that most folks are ungrateful, because they don’t know the value of His Grace.

THE TRUTH IS:

“For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”. (John 1:17 NKJV).

“….that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast”. (Ephesians 2:7‭-‬9 NKJV).

“But God–so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation). He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] (Ephesians 2:4‭-‬5‭, ‬7‭-‬9 AMPC).

•You are the blessed of the Lord. All your needs and desires are abundantly and unlimtedly supplied with the inexhaustible provisions and riches of God in Christ Jesus.
•In your relationship with Christ you are loved, thought of, cared for, prayed for and you are protected. In John Ch-17 and Romans 8:26, 27 & 34 Jesus and the Holy Spirit are still praying for us.
•Allow the peace of God to rule your heart, His wisdom to rule your mind and know that our God is also our source of comfort, Joy and strength.
Numbers 6:24-26
The LORD bless you, and keep you:
The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

KNOWING GOD

If you think or, believe that men wrote the Bible; then you neither know nor love God.

Do you really think that or believe that men are smarter than God. That they can predict past, present, and future events on their own. They can’t even get the weather correct. They can’t find a cure for cancer , and certain diseases. I would rather die and know that their is a God, and be in heaven. Than not knowing, nor believe, and end up in hell.

“But we have renounced the disgraceful things hidden because of shame; not walking in trickery or adulterating the word of God, but by stating the truth [openly and plainly], we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is [in some sense] hidden [behind a veil], it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing; among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God”. (2 Corinthians 4:2‭-‬4 AMP).

“But evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in the things that you have learned and of which you are convinced [holding tightly to the truths], knowing from whom you learned them, and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to Him and having absolute confidence in His wisdom, power and goodness]. All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work”. (2 Timothy 3:13‭-‬17 AMP).

“Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]”. (Romans 12:1‭-‬2 AMP).

ONE BAD APPLE  SPOIL THE WHOLE BUNCH

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was”. (2 Timothy 3:1‭-‬5‭, ‬8‭-‬9 KJV).

“A little leaven leavens the whole lump”.(Galatians 5:9 NKJV).

“Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us”. ( 1 Corinthians 5:6‭-‬7 NKJV).

Isaiah 5:20-24
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man! Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

NO MATTER HOW THINGS LOOK Victory IS OURS
+Can you imagine if you had quit and given up on life the first time you had what you thought was a major problem. You wouldn’t have made it this far today.
+A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be all of you steadfast, immoveable, always abounding…
+Remember this, Christ died for us so we can live, and while we live it is Christ who is living in us, Galatians 2:20.
+In every situation KNOW this, we are living for (Christ) God, and the life we live is for the constant glorification of Christ (God).
+If we are experiencing defeats we are living for ourselves and not for Christ.
+All who live for Christ live in victory, and all who allows Christ to live through them bring victory to others.
+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!
