To the degree TRUTH IS SPOKEN IN LOVE on any matter, only to that measure may evil be stemmed.
On any issue, if TRUTH is not spoken into it, evil will prevail.
The way God does EVERYTHING is by speaking enough TRUTH about it into the earth (through the mouths of men), so much so that the TRUTH finally takes on flesh, so to speak, and manifests among us.
The method by which God the Father accomplished Jesus being manifested into the earth is the same method He uses to accomplish ANYTHING on earth. Time and time again God the Father kept on speaking the truth that the Messiah was coming. In many ways and through many men God prophesied of the coming Messiah. Finally so much Word had been spoken into the earth about the Christ that it took on flesh and His transfer from heaven to earth was complete. The Truth became flesh, Hallelujah!
No matter the strength of evil, if enough TRUTH is applied against it, the TRUTH will eventually dispel it.
TRUTH has to be spoken into the atmosphere, spoken into hearts, spoken over institutions, organizations and nations!
TRUTH sooner or later tips the scales in its favor... ALWAYS!
TRUTH is its own self-defense. TRUTH brings about its own fulfillment.
TRUTH should never be apologized for. Let it weigh on the heads and hearts of the rebellious. Let it simmer. Let it do its job on the human heart even if it is received at first with offense by the hearers. Just let it take its course!
TRUTH overturns error, but error can never overturn TRUTH, no matter how hard men may try in their futility!
The ANECDOTE for anything wrong, evil or dark is a HUGE DOSE OF TRUTH! (Take your medicine, man, take your medicine!)
The highest form of love is a CONSCIENCE CHOICE to love someone.
Don't wait for a feeling before you love another. Make a conscious choice to love them.
Loving someone or forgiving someone FROM THE HEART has nothing to do with a warm fuzzy feeling. Loving someone from the heart has everything to do with drawing from the love of God that one KNOWS resides within him and DECIDING to love that other someone!
Lord why did you so save me?
Because I wanted you.
Lord why did you want me?
Because I loved you.
Lord why did you love me?
Because I wanted to! (chose to, decided to)
Because THE FATHER desired you He placed you in Christ!
1Co 1:30 KJV - But of him (The Father) are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God (the Father) is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
It was the Father's Love that sought you out. He just HAD TO HAVE you!
The Father is intensely passionate about you!
Jer 31:3 KJV The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
The Father pursues you this very moment!
There is a place in the Father's heart that only YOU can fill.
The Father wants you even more than you want Him.
You may NEED the Father but the Father WANTS you ...DESIRES you!
I want to mature to the place where I mostly pursue the Father out of DESIRE, not just out of my pressing NEED, though need is also a valid reason.
Yes! Jesus loved you! And loves you! But it wasn't Jesus' love for you that initiated the plan of salvation on your behalf. No! It was THE FATHER'S LOVE! The Father's Love for you sent Jesus! This is the part of John 3:16 that most people fail to see clearly. As a result their worship, their maturity in the Lord, and their prayer life remains forever stunted because they are NOT COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE IN THE FATHERS PRESENCE. They spend all their time and energy talking to Jesus, and yet it was Jesus who said the very reason He came was so you could get to know YOUR FATHER! Jesus said, "The Father Himself loveth you!"
"Don't want to live without you" IS A HIGHER AND MORE NOBLE REASON FOR A RELATIONSHIP THAN "Can't live without you."
Prayer CATCHES UP with people! I have observed that when you pray for others there is often a delayed reaction. Sometimes it seems as if nothing is happening. But I have also noted that simple prayers over someone sooner or later CATCH UP WITH THEM and change them. I have seen people run from what others are praying for them only to discover that THOSE PRAYERS WERE MORE POWERFUL than they themselves were. Those prayers CAUGHT UP WITH THEM AND MELTED THEIR HEART AFTER ALL.
Prayers can transcend decades, centuries, and milleniums. PRAYER IS TIMELESS. NOTHING and NO ONE can stop prayer's fulfillment! Prayer CROSSES OVER cultural divides, times and seasons, trends and generations.
YOUR PRAYERS have far-reaching impact. The simplest of your petitions have eternal ramifications of which you are unaware.
YOU have CARTE-BLANCHE prayer power with God!
YOUR PRAYERS are treasured by your Heavenly Father and forever recorded in the annuls of heaven.
YOUR PRAYER wields immense authority and power!
God NEVER FORGETS what you have prayed... NEVER!
Your prayers are forever memorialized by God.
Satan is terrified and paralyzed by the thought of praying believers.
Prayer unravels the enemy's plans. Prayer defeats the enemy's strategies, over and over again. The devil is a nervous wreck because of your prayers to the Father! |
