God's Love Ruling

Love should be ruling in our hearts. That love is to be the God-kind of love: agape'.....

You cannot tell others of Jesus if you have no love for that neighbor! Now could be the opportune time to tell them Jesus is returning to earth! Will you do that? Could you do that today?

Luke 6:37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

This passage is of giving and receiving! By fleshly means you cannot judge another. That is why we have lawyers and judges today. Although, many corrupt, we are to ask the Lord for His way through the chaos of hate and move us toward the paths that are righteous. We are not to condemn. We are to Forgive and you will be forgiven. And then GIVE is to be in good measure. It is all of the heart of man or woman.

Chaos hits your house, will you glory in the Lord? Destruction of a storm runs through the country, will you be safe in Jesus? Water is not good for drinking in your neighborhood, will you run scared, or run with Jesus, speaking He is with you to bring fresh water to your neighborhood and your kitchen? Someone in your family has been closed up for months due to an illness, will you choose to see them and encourage them to live for Jesus or stay away from them? In Jesus and His sacrifice ,salvation brought the package of wisdom from God! Life is in Him and it is a heart that is filled with this substance of Him that is truth and the real deal in this moment of time.  It is entering His kingdom, to use His weapons He left for us to use in His name and to His glory.

We are moved from condemnation to live righteously, sanctified where pollution of the world is washed away by regarding Jesus’ words. Redemption is that we are no longer  slaves to the world but a slave to Jesus where life is abundant in His peace, His love and safety. It is a peace armed and dangerous. It is a peace not soft but firm against the enmity of the devil. We have the Holy Spirit power to reveal this daily to us! And will we use if to enter the kingdom of God? Will we use God’s words as Jesus did in the wilderness.

We must have HEART to pull it forward through our mouths to speak it in chaos, in a bad report, when your body is failing, when death is seen or even spoken, may look like a mountain falling on you, but hold onto Jesus that is before you and speak as He spoke to reveal that your heart is set on Him!

God's Love should be ruling over our hearts! God’s Justice is to Owe No Man Anything but Love : 1 Corinthians 13:4-8……NIV …4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. …No faultfinding.. Christian Network carries news about Paris France. And the neighborhoods taken over by radical Islam.

God’s integrity will protect us! Psalm 37:3-6     NKJV   3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness, 4 delight yourself in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.  (desires of the heart when all the rocky stones are removed: like you will not amount to anything, you are stupid, you will never graduate H.S., you will never hold a job,….etc. We must allow the Holy Spirit to show us what must be removed…….

 5  Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass, ……………Being intent to put all into His hands. That commit has the meaning of “to roll the stone away”…to open up the well of water that is life in Jesus. Thinking of Jesus commanding them to remove the stone that covered Lazarus’ tomb….He told them to remove the coverings of grave clothes from him……

6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as light and your justice as the noonday.   Dwelling in the land of truth…..Removing insecurities ….Removing strongholds’

And when He brings His Word to pass……our righteousness as that light, is seen and our justice or our vindication is that God has done a specific thing for us.

Godly Training In Justice

1.   The supreme task of Justice is seen by the forgiveness of sins that God established. So justice comes by receiving His Son,

2.   Redemption has come to our heart. And it is with that right standing with God, we are the just. In training we gain understanding and knowledge in our communion with Him.

In that justice: within that Godly training…..We have concern for the widow, orphan, the foreigner, the poor , the needy!  Godly training is seen as honorable:  In doing the honorable thing, we know it starts within the heart of each man and woman. IS the man or woman’s heart committed to God or committed to something else?   Again what comes out of our mouths, is it life or is it sewer city…stuff…??

1 John 4:7-11   NKJV 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God & everyone who loves is born of God & knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loves us & sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

In Jesus we have Redemptive Grace. God is faithful and He will hear when we ask for help in any situation.

1.   May we not be ignorant of God’s Word. 

2.   God is not mocked, for what a man sows he will reap. If we sow to violence we will get more violence… Leaders are those who become a good leader without insecurities.   They will honor another and point out their good, but also correct what must be corrected.                                  

This is Love: Open up the gates of Heaven for anyone that would believe in Him John 3:16: 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jesus did not come to condemn but convict by Holy Spirit. There is now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. ( Romans 8:1) They walk by power of Holy Spirit! They do not cheat their families nor their government. They render to Caesar that which is Caesar's. They render to God that which is of God's. It is always pressed down to run over. It is receiving the things of God and heaven. It is not clutching things of this world. Christian love is only found in its motivation in God's love for us. His merciful heart helps us extend mercy toward others. Unless in Christ, anything done to get your way is sin. It is found as sin. That is a curse and the devil loves you have that problem. 

Call me any name but I will still pray for you and pray that you would come up out of that curse of being limited: as in finances, groceries and food to eat, in taking what you should actually be working for this day. Refrain from judging others. Be diligent to ask the Lord to examine your own heart and be faithful to respond to His conviction.

Whatever our focus at this moment whether to what may occur in the year ahead, the loss of a loved one, or what health crisis that might appear, but directly our focus is to be on Jesus our Lord and Savior and remember He sent the Holy Spirit to us: not for a dress code, not for arranging big hair or flat hair, not for the weight or a specific height of a person, not about that certain leader of a business or ministry, but about Jesus. And Jesus said he was sending us His Holy Spirit for purpose. The Holy Spirit for power in our lives!

You could speak to any number of people in any nation right now and find them grieving over the loss of a leader of their country, a loved one passed on, they lost their job over a virus or they feel like the world has gone off its course! But these all have the Holy Spirit available if they are the saved ones who called on Jesus with a repentant heart.

Let’s choose the present and forget the past! That is a hard one but we can do it! That listening to the lies of the enemy instead of resisting them by the Holy Spirit will only bring us into more grief and worry from what occurred in 2020. We push back by inviting the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse our mind with Christ’s thoughts. We have been given authority: we command in Jesus’ name that all lying spirits have to leave our minds. We will not adulterate our souls to live in confusion…we will live in clarity…We will not be tormented with impure, evil, negative or sinful thoughts but transformed by the renewing of our minds. We prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)    WE are Enabled “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10) ….

WE are not to be anxious for nothing;  but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we let our requests be made known to God, and His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guards our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7) and finally, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, having virtue or anything praise worthy, we think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

So should you live in a country or region where the culture throws an agenda of discord, or there is one who initiates an attack with fear mongering concerning the welfare of your body, your family or community, or when someone throws you under a bus to save their own flesh, what will come out of your mouth we will remember that our heart should be filled with God’s word. Life & death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21

Are We Seeing the Rain of Adversity, the Heat of Evil or the Rain of God's Love

 

Matthew 5: 38-48   Amplified Bible: 38 You have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth [punishment that fits the offense, 39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil [ who insults you or violates your rights], but whoever slaps you on the right chee, turn the other toward him also [ simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses and do not bother to retaliate---maintain our dignity, your self-respect, your poise]. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also [ for the Lord repays the offender]. 41 And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks of you and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

( in this period, any military could ask regular people to help them carry their gear and to go as far as the military needed to travel.) So could you imagine telling someone you will not go help them and it is for Jesus’ sake? When we do anything, either for Jesus, our spouse, those we work with, do we draw a big line not to cross to help? Like some at the hospital where I was a couple of years ago, they could not help you with an issue that caused them to walk across your room at the time. I was told they were there for blood sugar checks but their hand held machine was not working. Don’t ask her to do anything else, she only gets paid for the blood sugar check!!!!! (The duty nurse was on another floor all day!)

 43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and Hate your enemy; [Le. 19:18; Psalm 139:21-22] 44 But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. [Proverbs 25:21-22] 45 To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike]. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward can you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that? 47 And if you greet only your brethren, what more than others are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles (the heathen) do that? 48 You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind & character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Be perfect: as your Father in heaven…God is perfectly holy, perfectly good and pure. 1 Samuel 2:2 — "No one is holy like the Lord."

Complete in moral character:  Romans 12:2 A. Bible: 2 Do not be conformed to this world ( this age), [fashioned after & adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed ) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals & its new attitude]. So that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good, & acceptable & perfect will of God, even the thing which is good & acceptable & perfect [in His sight for you].

Please know the Lord gives what is wisdom in the ideals and new attitudes!

Job 37:7-13    Amplified Bible   7 God seals up ( stops, brings to a standstill by severe weather) the hand of every man [and now under His seal their hands are forced to inactivity], that all men whom He has made may know His doings (His sovereign power and their subjection to it).

8 then the beasts go into dens and remain in their lairs, 9 Out of its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. 10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen over. [Ps. 147:17-18]

11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture; He scatters the cloud of His lightning. 12 And it is turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatever He commands them upon the face of the habitable earth. 13 Whether it be for correction or for His earth [generally] or for His mercy and loving kindness, He causes it to come. [Exodus 9:18, 23; 1 Samuel 12:18-19]

From verse 7 God stops, brings to a standstill by severe weather the hand of every man. It is severe weather that forces inactivity. It is for man to know God’s doings that is His sovereign power and man is to be subject to His power!

The fires in California have either stopped or completely slowed living there in some areas! It is a jumping through hoops to get the papers to rebuild their homes!

Proverbs 15:3  NKJV    3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.                                                                                  

In reading Job 37: 8-10 we know he is referring to winter type weather.  The animals find safety in their dens, in their holes where warmth or dry is needed.

Yet even now, we see this same thing occurring over the U. S. & around the world. Areas inundated with water like Hawaii, the areas of North Carolina by hurricane strength storm two years ago and neighborhoods were cut off by water around Mystic Camp in Texas last fourth of July.   

There are areas that have 120  degree weather one day or for two days and then drop back twenty to twenty five degrees to experience cold, wind and much rain. The weather person has said more than once that the weather appeared more like that of early winter. Interesting though they call winter type weather here with much snow and it is 70 degrees and thunder storms with lightning and much thunder.

There is an extreme marine heat wave simmering in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. This started forming at the end of last year but has worsened in recent weeks. The readings located from the Scripps Pier in La Jolla has broken more than 25 daily temperature records this years. We are just in the month of April. In this region surface water temp was 6,5 degrees and the sea bottom as 67.6 degrees. This related to the hottest on April 15 about 100 years. Significant things are occurring around us.  But……..

Are we looking at God in His power as much as we look at the power  say in the extreme of  11  inches of rain in an hour and half?  Or how about seeing whales, and the such wash up on shore due to the lack of food that is most likely dead or just gone from the area!!!

1.   As in this extreme, the flooding has curved tremendously the work man would do, but because of the massive run of rivers over land and businesses, man is stopped. There have been many casualties due to flooding.

2.   Stopped from all activities would include work, those in recreation and possible sports. If the beasts of the field find safety in their lairs, should we not also look for safety within the pages of God’s word?

3.   Thought: Even as the clouds are under the counsel of God, might our hearts do well to be led under His management? For whether it is for correction, for his land or for mercy, it is by the hand of God, like lightning that is designed to accomplish his purpose of mercy and justice. See Job 36:30

Executing  as in correction in Job 37:13: Genesis 7:11-12  Amp. Bible 11 In the year 600 of Noah’s life, in the seventeenth day of the second month, that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and burst forth, and the windows and floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And it rained for forty days and for forty nights.

God said He would never flood the earth like He did then: Genesis 9:13 I set My bow [rainbow] in the cloud, & it shall be a token or sign of a covenant or solemn pledge between Me & the earth.

This  correction : it is seen as that which sweeps away the works of men, to render the fields useless and cut off the wicked! Correction will hinder any production of a seed or of a crop!  This type is seen like Prejudice and the effects is of much flooding in many areas.                       

Prejudice: is animosity, bias, injustice, discrimination… Prejudice occurs to all colors of people, not just to a select few. Prejudice can also occur against those who worship God, the one true God who created the heavens and the earth. And it can happen for other distinct reasons like of race, sex or age . But prejudice should not prevail in the life of believer’s  if we really are  in Christ Jesus. Remember: Jesus was discriminated against and He was God! He also showed people how to receive healing and then work not wait for a hand out.

As believer’s in Christ Jesus, we are to be about putting aside fears, prejudices, resentments and hatred. In Jesus, we are to be giving God’s love & compassion for all people. In this then we are true followers of Him and carry the true mark for forgiving others. Any anger, any hatred, harsh words, retaliation and revenge only result in more of the same.   

It is sowing those seeds of violence, hate and revenge on others.

It is only in God’s love that we can conquer evil …….Romans 12:17-21  Amp. Bible…17 Repay no one evil for evil but take thought for what is honest & proper & noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God’s ] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. 20 but if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. 21 Do not let yourselves be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.

2.   Executing a productive land from Job 37:13,: it calls the timely rains. Any that belong to the Lord, he will cultivate as His very own: being faithful , the committed, submitted to God and His purposes for our lives.

 Psalm 24:1…the Earth is the Lord’s & the fullness of it, the world & they who dwell in it.

3.   For executing mercy from Job 37:13: that man might worship God. That just like the man Elihu who came to see Job, he regarded the supremacy of a mighty God and gloried in His majesty. It is that within God’s mercy, we would become more fruitful. Being people who give thanks and worship with praise on our lips.

God will have nothing to do with anyone who discriminates against another. We are to love our neighbors as ourselves!                   

Are we seeing by the impacts of the floods in so many areas, God speaking? Is He revealing that we must look toward Him and not for vengeance? Not for any prejudicial matter?

1.   What God has executed in regard to the workings of the weather, no matter the time of year, He holds them all by His power.

2.   Beasts of the field know enough to remain within their protective habitations.

3.   However calm and docile our days may seem, when the tempest blows, and rains fall in inches within an hour, does one take note?

4.   Will we not seek the Lord while He may be found?

Jesus is the Great Intercessor, and will pray for us. He will not frighten us or hold us in terror. But we are to fear the Lord …to hold Him in His majesty and glory. We are not thrown out of the covenant He has made with us. In His mercy we should be driven toward His mercy. Choosing Him for His commandments, truth, wisdom and grace, we are choosing life in Jesus.

In the time of the hospital stay, the Lord gave me words to encourage three young men for their future. The Lord had us to pray for the lady with her handheld machine. In the storm, or the calm, a wind of strength or darkness, the Lord's voice we seek to hear!

As Far as You can Go

 

I desire to know the places where I went as far as I could in the Lord and when He directed my path in another direction. We can see it with Philip and with the apostle Paul.

In Acts 8:5 Philip went to Samaria as evangelist. He preached: Acts 8:6, and in Acts 8:26 Philip heard the angel of the Lord:”go south to desert and he would meet a man. And he did: a eunuch under Candace queen of the Ethiopians. Acts 8:39 that after Philip ministered to the eunuch, Philip was translated away. He would be found in Acts 8:40 reaching Azotus then coming to Caesarea.

 

He was one of those who were "scattered abroad" by the persecution that arose on the death of Stephen. Going first to Samaria, he labored as an evangelist. He had much success found recorded in Acts 8:5-13. While he was living and working in the area, he received a divine command to proceed toward the south, along the road leading from Jerusalem to Gaza. These towns were connected by two roads. The one Philip was directed to take was that which led through Hebron. Traveling through a district little inhabited, only known by the locals, and hence called "desert." Holy Spirit told Philip :”Go near and overtake this chariot”. Acts 8:29

So traveling in this “desert” area, Philip was met by a chariot in which sat a man of Ethiopia, the eunuch or chief officer of Queen Candace. He was at that moment reading a portion of the prophecies found in the Septuagint.  It is Philip who entered into conversation with him, and expounded these verses, preaching to him the glad tidings of the Savior. (Acts 8:30 “Do you understand what you are reading?”)

The eunuch heard the message of the Gospel, believed and was baptized in a short amount of time. The eunuch went his way when Philip was carried away by the Holy Spirit when the eunuch had been baptized in water!

 He was next found at Azotus, whence he went forth in his evangelistic work till he came to Caesarea. Not mentioned again for about twenty years, Philip was still found at Caesarea (Acts 21:8) when Paul and his companions were on the way to Jerusalem. Disappearing  from the page of history, the last know was of him residing in Caesarea..

 

Saul became Paul when he followed Jesus. Thrown from a horse in Acts 9, Saul hears Jesus speak to him. He calls Him Lord! Traveling by foot into the city of Damascus, a hard blow to one who had been breathing hardship and violence to those who believed in Jesus, the Way, Saul was led as the blind man all the way! Paul stayed in that condition until a godly man came to lay hands on him. The scales came off and Saul could see and knew where he would go. He would be led by the Holy Spirit. 

Paul’s message included the fact that conversion for any person is that from darkness to light revealing that from the power of Satan to God, always involves forgiveness from sins, and leads to sanctification found in Acts 26:18. The plan of God was that people must “repent and turn to God” and to prove their repentance by their deeds seen in Acts 26:20. It is also the message that is in line with the prophets and of Moses in Acts 26:22. The unrelenting point: the crux or the objective truth that Christ suffered and rose from the dead spoken of in Acts 26:23!

Paul desired to reach the Jews, but God sent him to the Gentiles and he finally reached that obedience in Acts 11. But what certainly proved to be a God thing is when Paul had heard this call from Macedonia. Found in Acts 16:6-10 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. 7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8 So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come  over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately, we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

The Holy Spirit was leading them westward not eastward.  The Gospel would be preached and spread all over Europe entering Italy and Spain, ever westward to the North American and South American continents. Meeting destiny, Paul would lead and others would continue to move to other lands giving the word of God, so that any one woman, man or child of any other continent reaching the Americas would hear the word of God. No matter if they came as the free or those who worked as in slavery to pay their way to the new world, every man, woman or child, any color or ethnicity would encounter God and the word of life. Whether they received it or not, is another story. But those who received it, embraced and lived it reached others for the kingdom of God, whose King is Jesus and whose life is peace and joy. Yes, many came to the new world: they came by the Mayflower, they came by Christopher Columbus and many by slave traffickers. But they would encounter truth when the godly would speak God's truth to them. The man or young woman, who traveled with no money but was giving pay being a slave to a boat owner or other, they came and they came expecting to find the Gospel.

Holy Spirit leads us! Or we find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time with doing the wrong thing. But God, rich in mercy, longsuffering provides His plan to us if we are willing and obedient to it. Thankful today for those who left their own life to reach others for the kingdom of God. I am so thankful to My Father who loved me and you so much He gave us the best gift ever. He gave us life and He found us ever moving forward in the life that invades us with His good and leads all on to our victory. In Jesus, we are the found. Amen!
