LIVE LOVE

Prowlers run interference (blocking enemy operations) maybe it would not be such a bad idea if we did the same on a more frequent basis. In the last few years I have come into contact with people who have their minds set on converting others to their way of thinking. Interesting. Unfortunely, the ones they are focusing their efforts towards are men and women of God who are walking daily with the Lord and desiring to do His will in this earth. "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Colossians 4:6 Never know when the opportunity might sneak up on you to quibble. Do not. It is a waste of time. "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain." Titus 3:9 "I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. " 1 Timothy 2:8

Have you been promoting the " Well, I don't want to be a hypocrite...." excuse? One of two things are operating in you by continually adding this to your conversation. 1) Guilt because you really are a hypocrite. 2) Compromise because you are not making an effort to know what is pleasing to God, and instead you cave into the pressures of whoever you are wanting to be approved of. "If you know what is right to do an do not do it, it is sin." James 4:17 At the opposite end ... most people that listen to that whisper, "don't want to be a hypocrite" allow that to disable them and render them ineffective. Being quiet and not standing up for the truth when given the opportunity is a sad thing. You know the longer you approve of the wrong things, the more likely you will accept it for something it is not. It is not ok. The truth is what it has always been, it is not about to change for you or anyone else. The truth is not relative, it's not what you...

"BE YE ALSO PATIENT; STABLISH YOUR HEARTS: FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD DRAWETH NIGH." James 5:8 Have you ever heard the saying you are what you eat? I would have to agree. If God's Word is our substance, then that is what we will be full of. Let's give thanks before we eat. THANK YOU GOD, that as we take your word into us, we will have the patience we need to talk to you more. " If my people , which are called by my name, shall humble themselves , and pray , and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways ; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

"THE LORD IS KNOWN BY THE JUDGEMENT WHICH HE EXECUTETH...THE WICKED SHALL BE TURNED INTO HELL, AND ALL THE NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD." Psalm 9:16-17 The Word of God offends! It offends what is modern and accepted by the majority. "...for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15 Speak the truth and encourage all not to forget God. You are doing your fellowman a dis-service if you think you are sparing him anything by not telling him the truth. Jesus said, "REPENT for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. " Once you have done that then partake of His Body and His Blood... "As often as you do this...do this in rememberance of me." What are you saying? Are you representing Him in this earth? or someone else? Do you remember Him often?

EXCEPT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD we would all continue on in our blindness to the obvious. Thank God for true friends who will challenge us to hold up our lives to the light of God's pure word. Love rebukes and chastens... Reality check. What is it going to take to wake up to the truth? To stop being prentenders, fakes, liars. What good do you think comes from 'acting' like everything is alright, when in truth it is not? Can you call yourself a lover of God, if you do not do what pleases Him? Plastic people wear counterfeit smiles and all the while ignore the very things that need to be dealt with. I caution you to realize you need to be questioning yourself and your motives, because if you do not--- you will cause others to stumble and fall into a ditch. Why would you attend classes and bible studies, hide behind "the ministry," but then inwardly and to those closest to you behave like doctor insano? All the while you are not talking to certain persons (holding someth...

No proposal, no answer. No answer, no agreement. No agreement, no covenant. No covenant, no consummation. Not sure where we get the idea that we belong to Jesus if we are not committed to Him. We can talk all we want, but on that day when the Bridegroom comes for His Bride. There will be no changing our minds or ammending our ways. It will be too late. We will either be found waiting, expecting Him, dressed in our wedding clothes. Or we will have rejected His many proposals, given Him no answer, have made no agreements (with Him), and therefore there will be no wedding feast to attend or consummation to celebrate for those who are not IN CHRIST JESUS. Oh the dread and terror of that day! For those who know Him not. For those who thought that He was no Bridegroom, that did not recognize Him as God. Only fear's torment and exceeding pain will accompany those who denied His name. Human hearts will faint and melt with anxiety and tears...the white throne judgement. But Oh the bliss of ...

"BY MERCY AND TRUTH INIQUITY IS PURGED: AND BY THE FEAR OF THE LORD MEN DEPART FROM EVIL." Proverbs 16:6 Mercy = Alleviation of distress; relief. Compassionate treatment, especially of those under one's power; clemency. Kindness, forgiveness. Truth = an obvious or accepted fact; truism; platitude. Honesty; integrity; truthfulness. The state or character of being true. Actuality or actual existence. Conformity with fact or reality. Purged = to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable; cleanse; purify. To clear of imputed guilt or ritual uncleanliness. To clear away or wipe out legally by suitable action or atonement. A friend from Alaska wrote me a letter of encouragement and included this small pamphlet by Theodore Monod entitled: Looking Unto Jesus. The last page reads as follows.... "I LOOK NOT BACK --- God knows the fruitless efforts. The wasted hours, the sinning and regrets; I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forg...
