BE MY ANCHOR LORD IN A WORLD WITH SUCH RAGING SEAS

In this interrupted, disturbed, tumultuous, and disordered world today, where a great number have been detached (separated) as prophesied, from our origin, our Creator, our life source, (YAH, the Bible, Love for one another). (1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;)

Being tossed to and fro, by this angry sea of a world, it has become harder and more difficult to hold on to YAH’S Truths and Promises. But do not give up. You are to batten down the hatch, anchor yourselves with Jesus; do not give up the battle and by no means desert the war because when we continue in His Word, walk in His Way, and do His Will nothing is impossible. As we continue to hold up the Banner of God, waving it courageously, boldly, and proudly, we will meet resistance along the way; we must not give in nor up on the GOD of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because He has not and will not give up on us until the very end. (Matthew 24:10-13 10 And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved). (2 Chronicles 20:17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’)

For YHWH TO BE SUCH A MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS, AND FORGIVING God, man has engaged in every activity, imaginable, proving himself unworthy of all the benefits of being a child of the Living God. Yet Jesus will save him when he repents, give his life to God, through Jesus and come. The absurd part of this, is that the created (man) has gone as far as determining that he no longer need the creator (YHWH) because he, himself is the master of his life’s course and destination of his soul: we do play an important part, but only the part of necessity to our service to God; we are not in complete control simply because of the sin and evil that have been allowed in our life. Yet each time our sea gets rough, and the storms are continually rolling in, who do we call on. JESUS, Who else. (Isaiah 55:8-9 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts).

When we are experiencing storms, we must take courage and know that they come to strengthen us for the next leg of our journey. But as hard as it may get, nothing will prove to be too hard for our GOD. In the end, as we stay steadfast in our love, belief, and trust in our Lord and Saviour, and from being anchored in His Love, all will work out for our good. (Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose).

It may seem that all is blowing away, shrouded in billows of hatred, anger, and being misguided. And it seems that the more we call on our GOD, the more trouble, trials, and tribulations rolls in.  Which brings us to this revelation. Every day, we need and anchor to hold us down, steady, to the Word, Will, and Way of YHWH. You may ask why it is a subject that I speak on often, well, I will tell you. It is true. There are so many appealing, appeasing, and promising things coming at us today, tempting us to walk away from YHWH. And those of us with a weak mind and spirit will succumb to it, just because the masses do, not wanting to stand firm in our belief and trust in Yashuah, Jesus, for fear of being ostracized by society. We cannot worry about what others think or say, (their religion, or way of thinking is more important to them, than yours) and we must stay diligently in our service to the LORD, riding the waves of uncertainties, as well as the seas that are calm.

So, out of necessity (of our soul’s and possibly, that of others, salvation), we need to hear what is the essential part of our eternal being, required to be heard for righteousness’s sake, rather than what we want to hear. The only Anchor, which will keep our boats afloat, is Yashuah, Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. (Ephesians 2:10  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR. Amen.

I MAY SEEM SMALL AND INSIGNIFICANT BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PART CAN I PLAY IN THE WORLD TODAY, FOR THE WORKING OF GOOD FOR GOD’S PLAN?

ONE THING FOR SURE, GOD DID NOT CREATE US TO BE IDLE AND NOT TAKE PART IN HIS PLAN FOR THIS WORLD. We, alone, may seem to small to matter but as a collective, we can make a difference. And for those who ask the question, “What can I do to help the world’s situation?” think about these solutions. Well, first you can ask God, through Jesus to forgive your sins. In other words, get yourself together and repent, asking for the cleansing and salvation of your own soul. (1 John 1:99 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness).

Then you can stop sitting around thinking and complaining about what everyone else is doing wrong, how cold, bad, disappointing, etc., everything has gotten. Instead, you can pray for forgiveness and guidance, humble yourself and go out, every day and show love and kindness. (Proverbs 17:9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends).

And as you go about the day, give your little two cents, no matter what it is (a smile, a complement, encouraging or inspiring words, etc.) or how small it seems. Just proceed to do good; the worst the situation, the more Yashuah, Jesus, loves it when we plow through with His Word, doing His Will, in His Way.  (Acts 10:38 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him).

It is a known fact that we can always do good to those we love and cherish but what about the ones who dislikes us and we them, now that is the true test. And those are the types of tests YHWH wants us to be eager to take part in and past: Jesus is our example, the blueprint (the detailed plan of how we are to be) of all that we need in our life to walk steady and secure in His plan and the path which has been set for each of us. (Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;) (1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ) (Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:)

GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

WE CAN RESIST, LIE, HATE, KILL, STEAL, AND DENY BUT GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL AND HE IS NOT ABOUT TO TURN IT OVER TO MAN

(Psalm 22:28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations. Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together).

We don’t get it! And we will not until we open our eyes, minds, hearts, and spirits to the WORD, WILL, and WAY of YHWH, GOD, by way of YASHUAHA, JESUS.

Moreover, the sad part about it is that we think getting mad at each other and trying to destroy them through violence, hatred, and anger is the answer. Instead of praying for each other and doing good, we go about flipping each other off vs giving a friendly wave, yelling cruel insults vs speaking love and encouragement in a whisper (godlike voice); we tell lies, and causes confusion, for a more dramatic effect instead of the truth, for what it really is; we would rather stab our brother than give him a hug; or shoot them rather than a kind word. Do you think this way of anarchy (an absence of governing our own selves and disregarding the law of the land), will get rid of the problems we are facing in today’s world? No, it will not. Let us be clear about one thing. The only One Who is capable (because He is in control), of getting rid of, with an answer already given, through the blood of Yashuah, Jesus, is YHWH, God. And all the upheaval, ungodly way of life, no matter how powerful it seems, will come to an end. (Romans 12:14-20 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:)

But God instructed His saints to wait, be patient, continue to love and never give up or in to evil.  Because times are getting harder and harder. Man has gotten to the point where loves only himself; he has gotten greedier and greedier; soon a loaf of bread for an enormous amount, etc. They are getting angrier; quick to give an insult and take offense than to give smile and take a stand for righteousness; believe which causes confusion than believe the truth which set him free; they hate and are prejudice to ward each other rather than love and show no respect for a certain one (GOD created us all and even though we have differences, we are all His children), as our Father which is in heaven has instructed us to do. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away). (Revelation 6:6 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”)

Until we conclude that YHWH, GOD, is not going to throw any of His children away, we are going to continue to go around this same mountain: the mountain which harbors evil, hatred, anger, prejudice, doubt, disbelief, the list of evil works goes on and on. (Deuteronomy 2-3 2 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. 2 And the Lord spake unto me, saying, 3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward).

But YAH, through Yashuah, Jesus, has made a way for us to enjoy our journey, in spite of all that is happening around us, and to save and secure our souls for our eternal destination. It is a small price for us to pay, considering the one Yashuah, Jesus, paid for each of us.  

We must keep trusting and believing that in the resisting, lying, killing, stealing, and denying all is going to get better and work for those who accept Yashuah as their Saviour, as soon as our He comes. So, we must give up our attachment to the world and all its evil ways and come to Him: YHWH, GOD, through YASHUAH, JESUS. Our journey, through this life, will be one of Spiritual as well as natural, blessing of abundance. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

“Even though the world is a mess we can be God’s messengers. EDR”

For the professing saints, some timers, and out right sinners, we must do better in building and maintaining our relationship with our God, YHWH, through, Yashuah, Jesus. We must stand firm in our beliefs AND NOT BE BLOWN ABOUT BY EVERY ILL WIND THAT BLOWS OUR WAY. We must engage in the righteous morals of God and refuse to give in to the world and all of its immorality. Ask Jesus to help you figure out what is hindering your walk; He will reveal it to you. Philippians 3:14-15 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

When you have accepted Christ as your personal Saviour, as children of GOD, considering the wisdom we have been given (the BIBLE), we know the truth and we are the first ones who should shun away from trying to fit in the worlds construct; way of seeing, thinking, accepting, and living. Since we are the saints whom God has chosen to fight this war against the world’s ideas and beliefs, we do not get mixed up and snared into the world. But we do what is pleasing in the sight of GOD, who chose us as His warriors. (2 Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.)

DO’T BE AFFRAID, DO IT!

NO MATTER HOW OFTEN OUR BOTTOM FALLS OUT, CLING TO GOD. HE WILL NEVER LET YOU GO; HE WILL LOVE YOU, HEAL YOU, BE WITH YOU

Usually, right at the times when the bottom falls from under, our little world and things are not going smooth (that seems to be most of the time, today) that YHWH show up in a most spectacular and gracious way. When He does, He heals our confused, broken, misguided, hearts and souls and set us on His righteous path.  (Psalm 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.) Yes, He will do this, but we must present to Him, an open door, an invitation into our hearts. Where he will come into us and eat the fruit of our situations, with us (no matter the fruit). (Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”)

But, (that horrid little word), in this perverse and corrupt world, the devil has made it so easy, through deceit and deception, to get entangled into its web of destruction. So, before you continue to go or go down the wide path, where many are going, stand at the mirror of your life, ask for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, look in, take stock, make a righteous decision (leaning on the LORD for the right direction and strength to walk it), for your life. (Matthew 7:13-14 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.) Discern, visually, what is there, that may be interrupting its righteous flow.  Ask YHWH, GOD, through Yashuah, Jesus, to help you remove it and get about replacing or renewing the bottom that has fallen out of your own life. And do not be the one, who is constantly causing conflict, confusion, and confrontation, and then have the nerves to question GOD and others. The ones who have no plans to make things better for others but greedy gain for themselves.  And, such a person, who has no true knowledge, not knowing how He works nor His timing, do not have the right to ask, “How can God turn a deaf ear on His creation and not concern Himself with us?”

For one thing, we are living in a world that has an ungrateful attitude toward the wonderful life Yashuah, Jesus, has given us, yet it denies Him and try and rid itself of GOD. The world is turning a blind eye and deaf ear toward YHWH, GOD, and eyes wide open and ears that hear toward the evils of this world. Instead of pushing Yashuah, Jesus, farther and farther away, we should revel in the thought that He does love us, without conditions. Nor should we think, as a true child of GOD, (you know) that just because YHWH, GOD, has grown silent, (not pleased with today’s offensive events) He does not still love us: hear, see, and cover us with His wings of grace and mercy. But He is constantly calling us, to Him, to clean men up, (over and over again) of so much sin that has infiltrated his mind and heart.

But even when we have realized our sins, against GOD, self, and others (not acknowledging the truth), we, do not take responsibility but blame others and ask the question, “Has God forgotten us? My answer is, can we blame Him if He had? Not really. We, ourselves, have been the cause of the bottom falling out of our lives by either doing or not doing that which is needed to prevent it; staying in the will of GOD because He goes before us in any troubles, trials, or tribulations that we may be faced with, during which He has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us. (Deuteronomy 31:6 – Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you). The focus here is for us not to worry about this ever happening because He is pure love, He will not ever forget about us: man will and often does forget Him. And because people of the world, has submersed themselves in greed, lies, backbiting, backsliding, immorality, and other forms of sin, YHWH, GOD, through Yashuah, Jesus is, daily, giving all mankind a chance to pull it together, love and do for each other, to have eternal life. (Psalm 14: 1-5 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous).

YES THE BOTTOM HAS FALLEN OUT AND ONLY YHWH, GOD, THROUGH, YASHUAH, JESUS CAN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

LIFE HAS BEEN GIVEN US BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD. THE CHOICES MADE, ACTIONS DONE, AND WORD SPOKEN; THE LIGHT OF LOVE SHINES; NO EXCUSE; HIS HEALING HAS COME.

When our enemies come heavily upon us, surrounding us and we do not know what to do, YHWH, God, comes in, in His time, to save us. (Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him). He retrieves and restore us from our lostness; healing mind, heart, body, and soul. And when He does, it usually causes our world to turn upside down.  This is not to harass, hurt, harm or kill us but to strengthen our resolve to do better, as His righteous ones, spiritually, mentally, all with a clean heart and healthy body. 

Through His awesome Son, Yashuah, He displays His mercy and grace by forgiving our sin and healing us. He has left behind the Holy Spirit to help guide us on this pathway of life. When we fall and reach up, He reaches down to help us up. But we cannot be like the man lying by the pool called Bethesda, who lay there, not trying to position himself for the healing (which came once a year when an angel stirred the waters) but waited for 38 years for someone to put him in the pool. That is how most are, we wait for someone else to initiate the action it takes, to get our blessing. But when Jesus came by, He forgave the man of his sins and told him, in an exclaimed voice, to get up and walk and take your bed (all the mess accumulated over the years that have kept you where you are) with you. This is our challenge of this day. Everyone is sitting around wallowing in the mess they have made, waiting for someone else to clean it up and dispose of its tragedies and mistakes. Get about your life allowing your light to shine in others life. Because serving God and others will alter your path in a most righteous way.

As children of the True GOD, YHWH, we must concern ourselves with the life we are living; choices made, actions taken, words spoken. Because it reflects what has become of our inner man and the damage that has been done. In order to heal that man, the mind, heart, body, and soul we must first repent and get back into the will of our Father, GOD and stay. To be able to receive healing of your spirit, you must get and maintain communication and relationship with Yashuah (Jesus), who is our mediator between us and the Father. Stop following the masses, calling good evil and evil good. Because one thing for sure, no matter how much healing of the flesh, Yashuah does, it is the inner man (soul, spirit) that has to be heal. (Isaiah 5:20-21 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!)

Whether we want to accept it or not, it is our charge, as a child of GOD, to emit the light of love, compassion, generosity, forgiveness, yes, all the fruit of a beautiful spirit, to show the Christ in us. What He would do, how He walked, talked, carried Himself, all without sinning. But now since the world has allowed hatred and greed to become its master, only those things that are negative (evil) are considered and worshipped as truths; it has all been turned around. And man through his arrogance, thinks he can outwit YHWH, at His own plan. But in the end, man will truly understand the plan, power, pitifulness, perfect will, and the amazing grace and mercy of our GOD. (Isaiah 5:19-21 19 They even mock the Holy One of Israel and dare the Lord to punish them. “Hurry up and punish us, O Lord,” they say. “We want to see what you can do!” 20 They say that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise and shrewd in their own eyes!)

So, come from behind that excuse (it usually leads to sin) of not being able to move forward in a healthy lifestyle the way YHWH (GOD) intended it to be. For not only are we expected to defeat our enemies, but we are charged with helping others to defeat their giants (though the grace and mercy of YAH (GOD). We have been given the tools and the necessary steps to keep them at bay: love the LORD with all our hearts, minds, spirit, body, and soul, study and learn His word, walk in His way, subject and humble ourselves and stay in His will. Even though God gets upset with us for our iniquities, He does not remain in that state but heal us when we ask with love and sincerity and the belief and trust, we have, that He will. And with the health and strength, always given by YAH. Through Yashuah, we can and must do it. Believe: I am healed.

Prayer

Forgive our sins Lord, as we forgive those who sin against us, Thank You Lord. Thank You, through Your awesome mercy and grace, YAH, for forgiving us and with Yashuah’s paid price, and the Holy Spirit’s leadership You have healed and restored to us, our health, mind, body, and soul. Lord through it all, we know You have the power to heal.  We thank You for Your healing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah 57:17-19

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

STICK TO YOUR PATH

We are all on a journey called life. And how we walk the paths it entails, will determine our outcome. So, take a serious look at the fact that you are an individual. Even identical twins have their own uniqueness. And as such, individual, you are expected to act according to your identity, not anyone else; you think your own thoughts, act your own way (not mimic others).

YHWH, GOD, created each of us in own uniqueness, a way that when we look in the mirror of our life we, each of us, should see His image looking back at us. A look that presents all the fruit of the spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23 ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³ Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law).

But when we have allowed others to cloud our minds and judgement we will find that the person looking back at us is someone or something else. It definitely is not our Lord Jesus and by no means Our Father, God. So, to stay on your path of righteous, seek to walk after the LORD, not others. Because when they stumble and fall you will be right there to fall with them.

GOD WILL NOT LET GO OF US IF WE CONTINUE TO HAVE FAITH, HOPE, AND TRUST IN HIM

The Lord could, without a doubt, let go of us and leave us to ourselves: He will not. He will continue to heal our brokenness, if only for us to see the fullness of His power and the extent of His love for us. But we must repent and ask for His compassion and for forgiveness of the sins that has brought us to this time and place we find ourselves in. We must continue to say, “The Lord is my Shepard, and I shall not want for anything nor be afraid in any situation I find myself in.”

When we find ourselves in a moment of weakness, wondering and anxiety, is when Your (God’s) strength is shown more prevalent in our lives. It is sufficient for us. It makes our strength perfect.

So, instead of wallowing in self-pity, temporary defeat, sickness, being deliberately unhappy through anger and hatred, (which, by the way, will cause illnesses to come about), when you face a test, trial, or tribulation, we should make up in our minds to glory in them: it means you are doing the righteous thing for YHWH (GOD), through Yashuah, Jesus Christ.

Understand this, that when we began to walk the path which YHWH (GOD) has orchestrated for us and Yashuah (Jesus) has died for us to walk, the devil will come at you with everything he has in his arsenal to keep you from continuing on in faith; this means sickness, lies, ungodly inventions and interpretation of His Word, etc. Therefore, for us to receive GOD’s strength in our weakness, to sincerely praise, the power of GOD, through the Holy Spirit, we must allow Him to work in our lives. We must always call upon Him and ask Him (even though He lives in us, sometimes He has to war against our flesh to display His love for us) to continue to be the author and finisher of our fate: to help us.

We must surely and without reservation, submit our whole self for Your healing. Our mantra should be “There is no doubt in my mind that You can heal me Lord, mind, body, heart, and soul”.

Prayer

Lord I am weak, but you are strong. Forgive us our trespasses so as not to hinder our blessings and healing, and that which You have ordained us to do for others, as we forgive those who trespass against us. You promised that in the areas where we are weakest You would be our sufficient strength. Thank You. Making our strength perfect in weakness, through Your Holy Power. Hallelujah for my infirmities so that the Holy Spirit, (left by our Saviour) may rest upon us and we will be healed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

PHILIA LOVE – PART II

Since philia love involves feelings of warmth and affection toward another person, we do not have philia love toward our enemies. Typically, the feelings we have toward our enemies are feelings of distrust, loathing, or other feelings of intense dislike or ill will. But even so, with these feelings we are not to hate our enemies but love them with the love of the LORD (the Agape Love: we dislike what they do or say but not them as a person; GOD loves us all and He has no respect of person, and we are to love as He does. (Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God). God commands us to have Agape (that love, which considers one. It has mercy and compassion, and sees the person as YHWH, GOD, sees them; into their heart, the goodness, He has embedded in all of us, and its potential. It is a love that is not controlled by our feelings, nor does it rely on our emotions but is born out of the love for our GOD and truth. So let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. It is unconcerned with oneself but is, at all times, caring with the greatest good of others. Therefore, we must approach it with unmerited, grace, patterned after our Lord Jesus, and constantly seek the benefit of the ones He loves; that would be all of us. The Bible says we are the undeserving recipients of His lavish agape love toward everyone, knowing that as flesh, we must learn and practice this love. (I John 3:1-3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure). This includes those whose personalities clash with ours, those who hurt us and treat us badly, and even those who are hostile toward us and our faith.  (Luke 6:27-28 27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you: Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;). When we understand the true meaning of “LOVE” the world will not be in such a sensitive, sad, unsettled, selfish state. We will know how to love our brothers and sisters (not only the ones who profess to be children of YAH, but all men) as He wants us to.  In time, as we follow God’s example of Agape love for our enemies, we may even begin to experience Philia love for some of them as we start to see them through God’s eyes. As there are enemies out there, seeking to destroy us, so is GOD’s love here to keep, protect, maintain, and make us stronger in love for one another. (Song of Solomon 2:2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters).

When we continue to walk in love, eventually, we will observe the effect of true unity; its powerful presence. We will recognize that it is a great and powerful thing when we learn to live in love and peace with one another; joined as a whole. (Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!)

You, me, and everyone that does, can profess to be a child of God all we want, but if we do not show love (honor His Word, walk in His way, nor do His will; love your neighbor), all are living a lie. How, can we say we love YHWH, GOD, and treat our brothers and sisters the way we do? (1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?)

Well, let us look at the way we treat our brothers and sisters (our neighbors). First, of all, we do not love them as YHWH, intended us to. In God’s equation, we, that have accepted Yashuah, Jesus, as our Lord and Saviour, are considered as a part of the body of Christ; we need each other, or we do not function to our total potential. As the head needs the neck, the arms need the shoulders, the hand needs the fingers; all of us are a part of the body of Christ. And when we work together, in love, the body function as a well-oiled piece of machinery. But if one is lost or removed (through the process of hatred, anger, unbelief, etc., the body does not function as YHWH, GOD, made it to function. Because if one part suffers (as we see today, (the less fortunate), then every part suffers with it. The same is true if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 24-27 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it).

In these trying times, our love for each other, has been diluted with the cares of this world; hatred, anger, worries, hostility, the list goes on. GOD’s true love, given by Yashuah, our Christ, has been replaced with a façade of pretentious love.  This love, that the world is showing today is not of GOD but of the necessity of selfish greed (if I do this, what will I get from it) it goes as far as we can see each other and then it fades away as the distance, between us, grows larger; it is gone. It is only there at that time because we are in each other’s presence: once we have lost sight of the other it seems to fade away too. Sometimes, when we are in each other’s presence, we show hatred, not love to one another on purpose. But we must understand that the importance and need, for YAH’s, GOD, love, and the love for one another love, (which GOD, has given us), is the basis for our abundant and harmonious existence. It was epitomized by YHWH’s (GOD), gift to us and publicized by Jesus, through His actions toward all those He came in contact with then and to this day, with us.  This example was meant for our good, not just a show, put on by Him for our entertainment. Although sometimes it seems that when it comes to showing love for one another, as YAH commanded us to do, we are slow to do so. In those moment(s) where we have an opportunity to do so it somehow turns into hate. And is delivered with irreputable destruction; whether it (the world’s population) is trying to destroy the character of your brother or trying to condemn his soul (only YHWH can and will do that).

Know this, we can walk alone in hate or walk together in brotherly love. The latter gives us greater strength. GOD is love and so should we be. And if we are not, we do not know nor love God as we thought we did. (1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love).

We take our anger toward one another to a place where YAH did not subject it to go. That is why through Yashuah, Jesus, as our example and guide, we are to pattern ourselves after Him. We are to be slow to anger when it comes to one another and quick to forgive. And even though this world is a mess, GOD’s LOVE is not, always the same. And He is steadily calling us to come and open our ears, minds, mouths, and hearts to Him: not judging each other, not put-up barriers in each other’s way, not critical, nor cause any to fall but resolve all matters with brotherly love: the love given by YHWH, GOD. Amen. (James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Romans 12:5 (NKJV) so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

Romans 12:10 (NKJV) Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

Romans 12:16 (NKJV) Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things,

but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Romans 13:8 (NKJV) Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

Romans 14:13 (NKJV) Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

Romans 15:7 (NKJV) Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

Romans 15:14 (NKJV) Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

We must link up to GOD’s Agape love to know the true meaning of Philia love and be strengthened, through Yashuah, Jesus, to practice it. God is so good, and His mercy endures forever. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
