Do not deceive…

“Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant. If you plant in the field of your natural desires, from it you will gather the harvest of death; if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life. So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith”Gal.6:7-10, GNT. 🙏🏾

Love is the source…

Love is the source that replenishes our sense of reality. Fear makes us vulnerable to foreign elements. Fear gives them permission to enter our Kingdom, consciousness. Remember, as impressive as it may be, it cannot separate us from what is divinely authorized. Our immunity is in love, an impervious armor, and antipode to fear. 🙏🏾

The Great foil is happening, thanks to God.

Our government disparages anyone that follows the teachings of neo-Nazism. They have developed a special unit within DOJ to handle this particular issue in America. However, the hypocrisy’s flag is flying high when the US government allegedly is supporting neo nazis with weapons and training in Ukraine.

Months later, how is that worked out? Today, Russia, in all, has outwitted the western leaders. Russia shelves are full, with plenty of baby formula. The value of the Russian Ruble is breaking records this year. The sanctions and all the billions of dollars & weapons to Ukraine have impoverished the poor and middle class in the west. Wisdom & humility will win the day. We are one people under God. 🙏🏾

Are we seeing the actual?

Christians, in the purest sense of the word, are not transphobic. For those who believe in transfiguration, the Father provides a living light to their experience. Our choice is a world orientation, or spiritual orientation. The Holy Ghost will sort it all out in the end. The red barn awaits. Our salvation is within. 🙏🏾🎉

The Living Word:

“We wish you could see how all this is working out for your benefit, and how the more grace God gives, the more thanksgiving will redound to his glory. This is the reason why we never collapse. The outward man does indeed suffer wear and tear, but every day the inward man receives fresh strength. These little troubles (which are really so transitory) are winning for us a permanent, glorious and solid reward out of all proportion to our pain. For we are looking all the time not at the visible things but at the invisible. The visible things are transitory: it is the invisible things that are really permanent. This means that our knowledge of men can no longer be based on their outward lives (indeed, even though we knew Christ as a man we do not know him like that any longer). For if a man is in Christ he becomes a new person altogether—the past is finished and gone, everything has become fresh and new. All this is God’s doing, for he has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ; and he has made us agents of the reconciliation. God was in Christ personally reconciling the world to himself—not counting their sins against them—and has commissioned us with the message of reconciliation. We are now Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were appealing direct to you through us. As his personal representatives we say, “Make your peace with God.” For God caused Christ, who himself knew nothing of sin, actually to be sin for our sakes, so that in Christ we might be made good with the goodness of God”

2 Corinthians 4:15-18,5:16-21, J.B.PHILLIPS.

Evil, are we still looking for a who?

To some, I may appear evil, until they discern my inner workings. Just the same, a shell job of me may appear good until they spiritually discern the emptiness, the unconscionable thinking. The former is closer to being liberated. The latter may find limited comfort behind titles, though, change is coming. 🙏🏾🎉

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

Who is thine enemy that thou shouldst love him? Is it a creature or a thing outside thine own creation? 

Can you see an enemy, except you first formulate this enemy and then look upon the object of your own conception? What is it that harms you? Can height, or depth, or any other creature separate you from the Love that is omnipresent good, — that blesses infinitely one and all? …

The Hebrew law with its “Thou shalt not,” its demand and sentence, can only be fulfilled through the gospel’s benediction. Then, “Blessed are ye,” insomuch as the consciousness of good, grace, and peace, comes through affliction rightly understood, as sanctified by the purification it brings to the flesh, — to pride, self-ignorance, self-will, self-love, self-justification. Sweet, indeed, are these uses of His rod! …

“Love thine enemies” is identical with “Thou hast no enemies.” Wherein is this conclusion relative to those who have hated thee without a cause? Simply, in that those unfortunate individuals are virtually thy best friends. Primarily and ultimately, they are doing thee good far beyond the present sense which thou canst entertain of good. …

We have no enemies. Whatever envy, hatred, revenge — the most remorseless motives that govern mortal mind — whatever these try to do, shall “work together for good to them that love God.” 

Why? 

Because He has called His own, armed them, equipped them, and furnished them defenses impregnable. Their God will not let them be lost; and if they fall they shall rise again, stronger than before the stumble. The good cannot lose their God, their help in times of trouble. …

Even in belief you have but one (that, not in reality), and this one enemy is yourself — your erroneous belief that you have enemies; that evil is real; that aught but good exists in Science. Soon or late, your enemy will wake from his delusion to suffer for his evil intent; to find that, though thwarted, its punishment is tenfold. 

Love is the fulfilling of the law: it is grace, mercy, and justice. I used to think it sufficiently just to abide by our State statutes; that if a man should aim a ball at my heart, and I by firing first could kill him and save my own life, that this was right. I thought, also, that if I taught indigent students gratuitously, afterwards assisting them pecuniarily, and did not cease teaching the wayward ones at close of the class term, but followed them with precept upon precept; that if my instructions had healed them and shown them the sure way of salvation, — I had done my whole duty to students. 

Love metes not out human justice, but divine mercy. If one’s life were attacked, and one could save it only in accordance with common law, by taking another’s, would one sooner give up his own? We must love our enemies in all the manifestations wherein and whereby we love our friends; must even try not to expose their faults, but to do them good whenever opportunity occurs. …

I would enjoy taking by the hand all who love me not, and saying to them, “I love you, and would not knowingly harm you.” Because I thus feel, I say to others: Hate no one; for hatred is a plague-spot that spreads its virus and kills at last. If indulged, it masters us; brings suffering upon suffering to its possessor, throughout time and beyond the grave. If you have been badly wronged, forgive and forget: God will recompense this wrong, and punish, more severely than you could, him who has striven to injure you. Never return evil for evil; and, above all, do not fancy that you have been wronged when you have not been. 

The present is ours; the future, big with events. Every man and woman should be to-day a law to himself, herself, — a law of loyalty to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. …

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 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; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”

Matthew 5:43-45 – KJV.

… Jesus said, “If ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.” Luke 6:32

The blind,

Don’t be led by the blind, who can only see as far as their malicious motives take them. When we don’t discern the motives behind the scene, to then seeing is knowing, instead of the liberating opposite. The Truth never needs to be loud or bully others into submission. God will reveal things that are beyond the textbook or the philosophers of this world. Remember, the world is blind to where you are. Our spiritual sense rises above all else.🙏🏾🎉
