“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2: 4-10 King James Version [KJV]).
Greetings in the Holy Name of Jesus Yahshuah,
My brothers and sisters, the love of God is with us, for without His love, there is no us. There are times, we feel lonely without the generous amount of love we received from God through Christ Jesus Yahshuah but believe in the Word that God’s love is an everlasting love that is able to withstand the toughest times of doubt. You must feel the love of God in each breath that you take even when you have to catch your breath as it tries to slip away. Do not let your love for God slip away, stand strong in your belief that God is love:
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” (1 John 4: 7-10 King James Version [KJV]).
Lord Jesus, we pray for saving grace:
Father GOD, in heaven, we come to you, in prayer, for the mesmerizing effects of the day hold us spellbound, in need of your love. LORD, we need you, not because of the wickedness in high places but because the places that permit wickedness, speak out to persecute us, for we are the one body, in faith. In as much as I desire to recall the thundering roar of let freedom ring from the apex of faith to the depths of doubt, I resolve to say, let our freedom ring, for if and whenever there was a time for the wholeness of faith, to rule, not for a moment but in the day that for mere mortals is 24 hours that could hold us a thousand years, in chains, all over again—-nailed to a cross, then, it is now, simply because we do not believe that the love of God that brings us joy each morning, especially in the morn when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees and Sadducees, to gather in the lost, was inspired from the disbelief of man [Matthew 16, KJV], which left us in lust, not faith. Is it enough, to hold one mere mortal accountable for the sins of man that permitted such atrocities in humanity, in relationships to bear down against our oneness because we denied our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus and failed to see the truth of our relationship with our Father GOD, in heaven? Forgive us Lord, let us escape this persecution of those who run amuck looking for a sacrificial lamb, counting the sins of man, in relationships, as such a mockery of the truth because even though it captures us in denial of love, there is still the hope, we seek—-faith.
For who stands, in the perfection of God’s love, in a relationship but Christ Jesus, who suffered under our impressionable mischief of war, in a battle over the love of man, not God [“But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” Matthew 16: 23, KJV]. We, continually deny God’s love for his mankind, pretending man only needs man, to survive the hardships that are sufficient, in a day. [Matthew 23: 1-38, KJV]. We look to you, LORD GOD, to grant us peace from our misfortunes and failures. Let us not dwell on our sufferings to the torture of any one soul.
Let us know that the love of GOD ALMIGHTY delivers strength, in our darkest and weakest hour. For without the love of God, we are nothing in the darkness of the day, for that darkness that you fear is the one darkness and the same darkness created out of the imaginations of man, for the failed attempt to believe left us blinded, trying to find our GOD, crying for our GOD, hopefully, to finally, fall sincerely comforted in His love and enamored in the truth of a relationship. Father GOD, Jehovah Jireh, we pray you continually provide, for your love of man in the world. Let our cups run over because the windows of heaven opened up to provide blessings so much so, there is not enough room to hold it in. Let the joy of the morning leave us light-hearted in joy singing your praises, for we love the LORD GOD and we live the faith of Christ Jesus Yahshuah.
Let us not hold—-ever again, one soul accountable for the sufferings of humanity, for we know that had not this opportunity prevailed to persecute the one soul, we would because we could complain of the righteousness of the decisions of leadership. The problem is always leadership for the head you seek to compete with and out-pace is your creator, GOD. Your leader is GOD and all the complications of relationship-building grows out of man’s love for His Father God, in heaven through his Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, who did come, to save us.[Matthew 16: 1-28, KJV]. Do you believe this truth?
We pray for the restoration of love in the hearts of humanity to know GOD, is able to provide, for His humanity. LORD save us. LORD have mercy. GOD be with you. Christ be with you, always, for righteousness sake.
Walk with GOD, for he knows the pain of denial and hate, Christ Jesus Yahshuah, knows that same pain, we find out in the gospel readings that Matthew, too, knew that hate from the brethren because of his life’s work before Christ Jesus chose him, to follow him. In our lifetimes, to feel that same pain is a great displeasure, for all of mankind. Let the light of GOD prevail in yet another darkened time of failed relationships with GOD. GOD BLESS. Amen.
