Compassion for the Suffering Multitudes

 

The Bible gives passages of the kingdom of God being established on earth.  Malachi 3:1 " Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me, and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

Mark 1:14-15 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

Gospel to be preached around the world: Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

There is only the one Gospel. Jesus was sent by the Father to deliver compassion to the suffering multitudes. It was the Apostle Paul who warned us about receiving any other gospel.

In Jude 3 we are to contend for the original! Jude 3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Jesus taught through Parables. He relayed His kingdom on earth. Opening up the passages of the Bible, we are no longer ignorant of God’s truth. In Mark 4: 21 Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lamp-stand? 22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.23 if anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.  24 “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you  who hear, more will be given. 25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Heed what you have heard. Heed the supernatural of God and yourself as a spiritual being understanding your Fathers thoughts and ways. Believe!

Why would anyone want to twist the kingdom of God?  1 Timothy 4:1 (NIV) The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

 Jesus  reached people with the kingdom that had come. The Gospel as Mark underscored in his writing, was the need for faith in the person. The message they received and the power of Jesus present to help those in need as in Mark 4:40 and Mark 5:34-36.  Jesus was One, but many others would follow with willing hearts to see God’s kingdom come to those in extreme need.

A concise history of redemption is accomplished through the atoning work of Christ. His authority emphasized as He taught and His authority over Satan and unclean spirits we could look at here as to that which involves nature, Mark 4: 35 through Mark 6:45-52. 

 We have one in recent days to leave us much to soon. He a follower of Jesus Christ was cut down in his young years. He was cut down because someone else's belief was totally in something else. What twists our thinking? We are told from 1 Timothy 4:1 of deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. This nation has certainly got off the tracks of truth. Schools and colleges are teaching their own ways which are humanistic. They teach doctrines of demons. But we must endure knowing the word of truth. We must endure to follow Jesus indeed!

Do we tell the truth of a life change in us or do we shoot someone down by the hate in one's heart? We are to be open about Jesus. We are to spread His great news to all! Charlie Kirk was one who went out and did that for decades. He spread the truth of the love of God. He gave people a voice to speak but also gave the truth of the Kingdom of God. Compassion comes in many packages of people. It is a gift from the Father when love is shown and expressed. It is not patting a wrist to speak that is okay, you can go ahead and be you! WRONG! We are created in the image of God. We are created for good and not evil. But we must choose the good in God and not the evil of this world.

Those of the world spoke the last few days. They revealed in their laughter of the dislike they had for Charlie. They gave some time of life in either video or texting in the form of some social media. But those who saw Charlie, knew of his call by God and also a sent one. Yes, he is gone. He is a martyr for God. He left others in conversation of which he started.. As the young man of God, he will always be known as the man of faith. The person created in God's image, a Patriot of this nation, a provider of truth and open to conversation.`

Deceit and Deception are examples in the Bible: 

Proverbs 12:5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

Proverbs 12: 17An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies.

Proverbs 12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace have joy.

Romans 3:13 Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

Romans 16:18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

God's truth is like light, not leaven, and it must not be hidden.

Charlie was not hidden nor was Jesus Christ our Savior!  Light dispels darkness. Advice of the wicked is listed as deceitful in Proverbs 12:5. In Proverbs 12:17 we see that a false witness tells lies. And deceit is found in the heart of those who devise evil seen in Proverbs 12:20. It appears that naïve people are deceived easily from their belly. They receive that “smooth talk” and flattery that deceives. Yes, those filling their bellies with flattery find they have no footing in the truth of the Lord!

Let us stand for truth! Let us know what God reveals in His word. For we are to be lights in this dark world. Jesus was crucified  and was seated afterward with the Father. Charlie losing his life in this world gained the light of compassion in the kingdom of God.  Amen.

Revealed in the days ahead will be either light or darkness. Revealed will be hearts for flesh or for God. Surely this world is convulsing in the upheaval of sin. Those as sons of God continue in truth of God. As Jesus spoke from the cross, He revealed His heart for the man who hung with Him on that hill. He spoke to John to keep Mary as his mother. Jesus continued in compassion to speak light as He hung dying that day. And what will you do with this word?

Where is that Ball?

Where is that ball?

My husband and I had some errands to run yesterday about noon. We had left a little before noon and not finding what we went after, we had to venture further down and to the east to find a store that sold this Kombucha drink. Now this drink has some health benefits, and it is wise to get that which was just created to drink. After the drive over the river, we returned down the interstate.
On arriving, put our newly purchased items in the refrigerator, I walked to the patio door to put the dog outside. There is no need to coax her for at this time, she needs to go, and just after her instant on the spot to check our the visitor to the back of the yard  she took care of her 'business'.

I watched someone in a "golf cart" drive ever so slowly by from the south to the east and he must have spotted some ball in the yard. Watching me and my reaction to his moving around the cart and into the yard, he waved and of course I just waved back. Still watching him, he leaned down to pick up this ball laying in full view. He said laughingly like: "the wild playing and swinging caused his ball to go wild and out of control"!

He  appeared anxious to leave, and I started to mention the other ball to him that I saw closer to the big tree in the yard, but like a flash he was gone. I saw him go around the hill and back onto the golf course and again he appeared to examine the ball. I am thinking the ball he really wanted was the one next to the 'willow' tree but he dare not come close or attempt to check out the other ball in the yard. I figured he was thinking about the dog and the woman who would not leave the back door so about two minutes later the man drove off in his golf cart and our dog came indoors. About 2 hours later, I see him appear, again driving slowly, like looking for "his" ball, and then he headed back towards the club house. Am thinking he was really wanting his ball and not someone else's to play with!

Our habit is to check our yard for any balls and bring them to be washed. We find people who like playing golf and will put them into egg cartons to give them balls for their use for their time out on the golf course.

We were on a walk about this morning and took the leisure time to searched among the tree seedlings and "yes, some weeds" but did not find any except for the one that the  "golf" courses lawn groomer ran over with blades and caused it to split open. It is those tiny balls that people will practice with for that specific game. Today, I am still in awe of those who play and have the expertise to get that tiny ball down a fairway to "a hole in one". I always tell my husband that golfers on this course close by to this house, do not know the amount of hole in ones they get when hitting it toward our yard. For surely you have to look hard sometimes when the grass is needing a real good cut job! And when searching, it is there that we find the little ball as a "hole in one"  shot within the tall grass!

While walking in the brisk air, and sustained wind of about thirty miles an hour this morning, I was reminded of the walk with the Lord. Surely we would like our days to hold many "hole in one shots ", to hold many rainbows with  no rain, to have many windless days to enjoy the peace and quiet! Yes, we desire to hold have many days of receiving a mystery gift from a close friend or family member who lives far away, yet our days should hold the significance that God paid a big price for each of us.

Some people will denote their day the "moment they saw their baby smile" for the first time. Some will delight to tell of their seeing their child walk or graduate college. Still others will mark the day when they married or when their children marry.

In my life, I have seen and heard the stories of many relatives and friends of my parents who served their country. My uncle, as a young man flew as a pilot in World War II. He would land on those ships with a landing runway and a short one at that.  My brother-in-law served in the military for more than one term. He also went to help those in Guatemala when they were ravaged by earthquakes. And in my life, I see someone like my husband who goes the length to see people treated fairly, not because of entitlement, but because they love God, love this nation and choose to work for this nation. And as a people to see the glory of God to fill this world with His glory.

We have to choose life in Jesus and through Him see many others come to Him for salvation. But even more we can look to life eternally with Him, where the atmosphere is filled with life and joy, where He lights our days forever with His beauty and His glory.
Those certainly without Him and remain that way will be that way forever. They will forever be in darkness, forever be in torment of "what if", forever in the atmosphere where there is no refreshing breeze or water to enjoy but only darkness and sulfur filled darkness. What is sad is we each have "the choice" to choose to make a difference like Jesus did.

We have the choice to worship Him now, we have the choice to view His likeness in the Word of the truth now and we can participate in His love, His life and His joy that is found in the peace of God now!

For many it is see how big a house can one buy now, how fancy can that new car be, how fancy can our vacation be this 'summer' (now). For me, I have joy all around me. I have the joy of seeing my husband while he is checking out a a new recipe to prepare for a meal. I have joy of seeing our grand-daughter pretend she is surfing, and yes with surfing music on..( I think is was by the Ventures) and of having joy when our dog brings us her stuff toy to us the first thing in the morning.

I have joy, not for what I have lost but for what I have gained through Jesus for it is in Him that we live and move and have our being. One scripture that stands out today is John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

Our energy for a life of devotion to Jesus comes by the Holy Spirit. In this we draw our lives from His life, from this we have energized prayer, energized worship, the partaking of the Lord's supper and see healing come to every part of our being.

Our focus is to be on Jesus, not to one man or one woman, for each of us is learning, growing and becoming what God planned. It will take all of us not just a few of us to participate in His kingdom that has come. Do the works of Jesus while there is still time while it is still day. Go through your day and tell others of those parables Jesus taught from, and pray. Ask the Lord to direct you into His perfect plan He destined for you to live.

Sometimes when we lose something, it is likely it was not needed, but that which is for life we need every moment of everyday of our lives. The Word of God is life to us,  and from that Word Jesus appeared and was crucified. In that we should no longer fear man or death. Don't be hard-headed but be willing to let go of your life to gain His. For truly God is good and His truth is everlasting. Unity is allowing Christ to be the head of our lives. Unity is not a building, a pastor, or a religious doctrine, but is Christ, the anointed One Who is head of the believer's and King of the Jews. There is one God and His Gospel that came through as GRACE in Jesus.
Ask God what He has placed in your hand for His good and then ask Him how to walk in it. For then truly joy is heard, rainbows are seen, peace resides when truth is coveted from the word of God.
Remember you can always buy more "golf balls" but will never buy your way out of hell for we all need a Savior. Amen!
