Speaking His Truth in Love (below)

 

Love Mercy (below)

 

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15

We should never lose sight of the fact that the very same precious blood that was shed for our sins was also shed for the sins of any and all we may be tempted to condemn. They also can be forgiven even as God has so mercifully forgiven us. With this in mind, may God bless each of us to “Love mercy.” (Micah 6:8)

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to LOVE MERCY, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8

Do you “love mercy”? Loving mercy requires that we begin to understand the evil we are without Him and the mercy and love that God is (Romans 7).

Unforgiveness destroys those who harbor it.

“Harboring unforgiveness against someone else is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.” unknown

Is Romans 7 Before or After Paul’s Salvation? 

One disciple writes: “As heirs of the grace of God, we should be gracious in our attitude toward others. He who throws mud gets dirty hands. To live like Christ is not natural… it’s supernatural! Only as we yield to the Holy Spirit can we ever hope to exhibit the life of Christ. Let’s us look at others through the eyes of mercy. Love is compassion with Christlike eyes.”

Some of you will relate.

UNTIL, as an individual, you begin to realize just how wicked you really are, you will never begin to appreciate what our KING and Savior did on that cross!

Through the years, in dealing with Christian people, I have observed (as perhaps many of you have) that many of those who seem to be “on fire” for Christ and appear to love the truth, are sadly extremely merciless, arrogant, self-willed (trying to overcome without truly dying and relying on Christ), self-righteous, and judgmental. Jesus tells us that the sin of religious self-righteousness is worse than being a harlot (Matthew 21:31)…..  The profile of these type people goes something like this: When they hear the truth being preached, they migrate to that ministry. Yet, inevitably, when they find a weakness or struggle, they condemn and move on. I’m not talking about them finding blatant heresy. No I’m talking about them observing non-essential differences…… they’ve never learned to mature in their thinking through acknowledging the whole counsel of God and are quite frankly very self-centered, somehow believing that everyone needs to conform to their shallow convictions in things not essential to salvation. They beat the drum of truth with great force and yet, ignore their own personal weaknesses and need for divine mercy. In doing so, they are harsh and condemning in their judgment of others. James 2:13 says: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

You are not God. He alone is “Holy, holy, holy” and therefore He alone reserves the right/place of judgment in the lives of others, not you (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). The LORD never relegate such a place to you – a mere sinner without Christ and only saved by His sheer mercy (Titus 3:5-6). Isn’t it time we stopped telling others to repent for awhile and perhaps obey that command ourselves?

In their devilish strife, hatred, and self-righteous blood thirst, these self-righteous “truth” lovers seem to intentionally miss Bible truths such as these:

Endeavouring (working diligently) to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” Colossians 3:12-14

The LORD has a special season of breaking ahead for such a person. He will break and humble them so that they “love mercy ….” (Micah 6:8)

This type person usually has no patience at all with others, not realizing and totally blinded in self-righteousness to the fact that God has had great mercy toward them.

Though they claim to love the truth, such a person has no ear for the truth of divine mercy, love, and grace and so become grossly imbalanced.

People possessed with a critical, evil eye are not one with Christ. Those who are one with Christ have His love in them and “cover the multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:7-8)

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

Man Shall not Live by Bread Alone [podcast]


“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Spiritual growth occurs when we ingest the words of God, embrace, incorporate, and walk them out.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”Psalms 33:11

The graphic message below is from a dear sister in Christ named Cassandra, on SubStack:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22-25

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, thank You for finding and forgiving me and saving me into Your eternal family. Help me realize the utter importance of feeding on Your Word daily. I love You dear LORD Jesus. Help me to love You more LORD. Help me to feed, to nourish the members of Your body with Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Prayer Life of Jesus [podcast]


Prayer is communion, communing with God. Those who earnestly seek God in prayer, who earnestly seek to know Him and to fulfill His will for their temporary lives in this world…. will glorify Him here and to be with Him eternally.

What do we learn from the prayer life of our LORD Jesus?

“Luke 5:16 PRAYERS OF JESUS. Luke stresses more than the other gospels the place of prayer in the life and work of Jesus. When the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at the Jordan, He was ‘praying’ (3:21), at times He withdrew from the multitudes ‘and prayed (5:16);  ‘and He continued all night in prayer before choosing the twelve disciples (6:12). He was ‘alone praying’ before He asked His disciples an important question (9:18); at His transfiguration He climbed the mountain ‘to pray’ (9:28); the actual transfiguration occurred while ‘he prayed’ (9:29); and He ‘was praying’ just before He taught the disciple’s the Lord’s Prayer (11:1). In Gethsemane He ‘prayed more earnestly’ (22:44); on the cross He prayed for others (23:34); and His last words uttered before His death were a prayer (23:46). Luke also mentions that He prayed after His resurrection (24:30).

In examining the life of Jesus in the other Gospels, we note that He prayed before extending the invitation, “Come unto me, all ye that labour …’ (Mat. 11:25-28); He prayed at Lazarus’s tomb (John 11:41-42), for Peter (Luke 22:32), and during the institution of the Lord’s Supper (John 17).” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

“And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.” Matthew 14:23

“14:23 PRAY ALONE. While on earth, Jesus often sought time to be alone with God (cf. Mark 1:35; 6:46; 5:16; 6:12; 9:18; 22:41-42; Heb. 5:7). Time alone with God is essential to the spiritual well-being of every believer. We must continually remember that the lack of desire for solitary prayer to our heavenly Father is an unmistakable sign that the spiritual life within us is in a process of decline. If this is happening, we must turn from all that offends the Lord and renew our commitment to persevere in seeking God and His saving grace.” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” Luke 18:1

“18:1 MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY. Jesus was frequently concerned that His followers pray continually in order to accomplish God’s will for their lives. From this parable of the widow who persevered we learn several things; (1) We must persevere in prayer with regard to all matters until Jesus returns (vv 7-8; Rom. 12:12; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:2; 1 Thess. 5:17). (2) In this life we have an adversary (v. 3), Satan (1 Pet. 5:8). Prayer can protect us from the evil one (Mat. 6:13). (3) In our prayers we should cry out against sin and for justice (v 7). (4) Persistent prayer is counted as faith (v. 8). (5) In the final days before the return of Christ, there will be increased diabolical opposition to the prayers of the faithful (1 Tim. 4:1). Because of Satan and the pleasures of the world many will cease having a persistent prayer life (8:14; Mat. 13:22; Mark 4:19).” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

SUMMATION you might ask?

Following Jesus by living a life of prayer with the Father and Himself – living your life in complete submission to and dependency upon the LORD …. daily declaring with John the Baptist that “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30).

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Be persistent. Be relentless – in praying, communing with your God!

Read aloud, begin to memorize and live out:

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
