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

Who Are the OPPRESSED?

Galatians 6:7-10
 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.   NKJV

Sowing is God's idea. John 12:24-26
24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
NIV

Sowing a good seed, that is planted as in gardening, will die and bring up a crop....it produces many seeds. Here in this scripture, Jesus was telling them that we are to hate that which is of the flesh.........that life we know so "naturally", but that which is of the spirit will follow Jesus and will live where He does forever!

 And reading on that flesh nature, one would really not want to sow that which is just "trouble".
Romans 6:13-14
13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead ( flesh nature), and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
NKJV
Romans 8:12-13
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
NKJV



For whatever we sow to in the flesh, we will certainly reap. You allow someone to come out of a gas station or convenience store ahead of you who is on the main road, and do that several times...........you find you have a harvest coming to you when you find yourself coming out of a convenience store in 5 pm traffic and the line of cars is too many to count or even see to the end of the line..................and..........suddenly........... an opening appears, the man has paused the traffic, he waves you onto the main road in front of him, and "happy day" you are on your way home sooner than later. Doing good to others is something we need to keep watch over! That means even in situations of someone being ugly to you, calling you names or attacking your character. Jesus was attacked in the same way. The religious folks of that day certainly attacked Him, did they not?
Mark 3:4-6
4 Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. 

5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. 
NIV



In writing this today I was shocked by watching a report from this state in which a police officer was being fired because of his handling of a situation involving an 16 year old (or 18 year old). (the news reports changes from channel to channel on the age) Some fifty percent thought he was being violent and the other fifty percent thought he handled it accurately as the teen......considered old enough in most states to know better was told she was leaving school because of bad attitude to teacher and Administrative person. (something about using her cell phone during class time) I could not fathom such behavior toward someone in authority. In the year I graduated from high school, you certainly did not talk back to the Superintendent nor did you speak ill to your teacher. Such behavior was brought up to the parents of the misbehaving student, male or female, and was going to be handled directly by expulsion from school and for some, that expulsion was forever. I would never had thought of doing such an act at school or anywhere else. First of all, I would not have been able to sit for a week, and I would have been made to apologize to those I spoke ill to. Oh, did I mention I would probably had my mouth washed out with lava soap?

I remember a couple different students in the school I attended who were singled out because of their behavior during class time and what was not acceptable,  they were told to get their things together including books and or coat/jacket..........and when that door opened to the hallway, "the" said student was leaving the classroom and the school! Finished, dealt with and the classroom was back to order and the teacher was teaching the class again without any interruptions. What I saw in those days that happened was a defiant student disregarding authority!

For some reason I had this thought as well. Maybe because October is the Halloween craze time! I thought of the Mary Shelley's book on Frankenstein. (you know they show it a lot, and make it available right now) The "thing" that man created was to live by applying electricity. This being created surely walked by that power......was made to live, but became violent because of loneliness. Because the being had no one like them to love them..........and then I thought of this teen........that one a "lonely one"......is there no love?

Immediately I wanted to pray for the entire group of people who were involved in something that cost a man his job............and the teacher and Administrative person to lose authority. This world has certainly turned upside down!
I kept thinking of the scripture of reaping the whirlwind.........Proverbs 1:20-33
20 Wisdom shouts in the streets for a hearing. 21 She calls out to the crowds along Main Street, and to the judges in their courts, and to everyone in all the land: 22 "You simpletons!" she cries. "How long will you go on being fools? How long will you scoff at wisdom and fight the facts? 23 Come here and listen to me! I'll pour out the spirit of wisdom upon you and make you wise. 24 I have called you so often, but still you won't come. I have pleaded, but all in vain. 25 For you have spurned my counsel and reproof. 26 Some day you'll be in trouble, and I'll laugh! Mock me, will you?-I'll mock you! 27 When a storm of terror surrounds you, and when you are engulfed by anguish and distress, 28 then I will not answer your cry for help. It will be too late though you search for me ever so anxiously.

29 "For you closed your eyes to the facts and did not choose to reverence and trust the Lord, 30 and you turned your back on me, spurning my advice. 31 That is why you must eat the bitter fruit of having your own way and experience the full terrors of the pathway you have chosen. 32 For you turned away from me-to death; your own complacency will kill you. Fools! 33 But all who listen to me shall live in peace and safety, unafraid."   TLB


Those who abide in the Lord (John 15), all who listen to the Wisdom of God shall live in peace and safety, unafraid.  My concern here and it goes back to sowing that seed to the "flesh" is that what happens say in a year or two...........what if that school has some  call out for help ........a call out to the police station, but they have none! What if a "shooter" shows up............and those who have spurned counsel and reproof to do their own thing........mock the police and others in authority. then....how long before the table is turned for that which is of the ""bitter fruit".........and trouble comes there, but there is no help for them because of what is going on across this country?  What if they "need" help from some kind of law enforcement and there are none to call on to give the needed "HELP"?

Yes, people have to be treated fairly and expect to be heard, but not at the expense of someone being hurt when being taken from a classroom and not at the expense of someone losing their job.
Scripture tells us in Proverbs 1.......that trouble will come.............to those who have turned away from the life in God to death in the pathway which reveals the flesh creature.........doing our own thing, something we choose because we "want" to do it!
From the blog: BUTTING AND DISTURBING: But God is to be our justice. Sometimes people just rise up to do some "unthinkable" things to get their say, their way and their voice heard for the 15 minutes or such, but we can call on God to hear us when we have some complaint. When we have something going on, then we must take it to God for the answer!

Proverbs 23:29-35....29 Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who linger long at the wine.
Those who go in search of mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.

33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35"They have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink.?" NKJV

What terrible problems that come when we desire or want what we either should not have, or do not need. It is like becoming intoxicated with the thing "we so desire" to have or control, to have "my way" or add to our collection of things we think we need at the time! And being intoxicated with those desires, our want can cause us to start those quarrels that end nowhere, but in the place of many wounds JUST because "we want that thing"! In some respect, some will even go searching for those who will join in with them to agree for that "thing desired". And however good the appearance or the thing may sound at the time of our desire, one will certainly know after some time has gone by, that it can come back to bite you in a big way! 

What we sow to, we will reap!
Yes, seems things have turned chaotic. We certainly need His judgment today and the mercy that comes from and through the Cross of Jesus Christ. I am one person, but I am a praying person, who prays out to God to save our youth today, save them before it is too late, that their lives are not lost forever. I pray out that people who have a walk with God will turn their prayers from we four and no more, to prayers for God, His justice, safety for our youth, for millions not to be blinded by the avalanche that has covered this land.
This entire world is in danger. It is a world gazing upon man and not on God the Creator of the heavens and the earth. 

Again, I look back in the day and time I was raised in the south and attended school. As children, we were all expected to have respect for our parents, teachers, and especially those in authority. We were expected to obey the instructions given us. I certainly know as a youth growing up in the south that when I gave respect to others, I received respect back to me. I certainly saw it in giving it to the elder population in our community of which I lived. And certainly things have changed from my youth and my daughter's youth, with sex offenders and pedophile's making the nightly news. You have all kinds of predators today that did not either exist or just were not made known till now, either way, we need God's wisdom for these situations.
I believe that when we are raised in hearing the word of God, and that can start for any of us at any age, we are setting ourselves, our children and their children to rise above the "things" of the world and move through this life, this journey in victory.

But when we start telling God we do not want Him in our schools or we do not want prayer in the council meetings, we have a problem. Do we not see? Can we not fathom the chaos that will come to light when we continue to lift man's image and his mental knowledge............that he knows more..........than God does?
No, in watching the news today, we can certainly see man being served!
In Proverbs 21:16.........we are told "the man who strays away from common sense will end up dead"! And in Proverbs 21:23...."keep your mouth closed and you'll stay out of trouble".  TLB

God certainly sees.......He watches over the evil and the good. Finding the "good" in all this can seem complicated. The best thing here, is to stay close to God, follow His direction and trust that He is for you. In all that is in heaven, on earth and under the earth  ( Philippians 2:9-11)..........at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow............to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

In closing: Proverbs 15:26.....26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, But the words of the pure are pleasant. NKJV
Psalm 118:8-9
8 It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in men. 9 It is better to take refuge in him than in the mightiest king!
TLB

Those who follow after righteousness, those in right standing with God have pure words that are pleasant! (they are a joy to be around) They will encourage you, love God and always have a testimony of faith on the goodness of God in their lives!
