RETURN TO HIS LOVE THE MESSIAH'S KIND OF LOVE
WELCOME TO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO A HARD HITTING MESSAGE FOR TODAY. THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE A THOUGH--A SHAKING THOUGHT THAT GOES STRASIGHT TO THE HEART. '''IF MESSIAH , WHEN HE WAS ON THE EARTH; ONLY 'LOVED PEOPLE' IN THE SAME WAY HUMANS DO. NOT ONE SOUL WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED''---WHAT A SOBERING SHOT THAT SENDS TO THE HEART ~
Matthew 24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
Matthew 22:39 “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” 1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Deuteronomy 10:12-And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, IF WE DO NOT LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS__MESSIAH LOVED US.. WE BREAK HIS COMMANDMENTS - AND HIS HEART. HE GAVE HIS LIFE---WHAT WERE HIS INSTRUCTIONS?---john 15:8-10Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 0If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Matthew 16:24 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” '''TAKING UP OUR CROSS''----MEANS----''DYING TO SELF'' IT MEANS STARTING ANEW EVERY DAY, STARTING NEW EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY---FORGETTING ALL PAST HURTS AND SCENARIOS---FORGETTING EVENTS AND OPINIONS.
''OPINIONS'' ARE OF THE FLESH, AND ARE NOT OF A SPIRITUAL NATURE. THE SPIRITUAL PERSON, MUST WALK AND LIVE BY THE WORD OF SCRIPTURE....THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT WILLKEEP US CLOSE TO MESSIAH---THE ''RELIGION' OF TODAY IS JUST THAT !! IT IS NOT ''THE WAY'' OF MESSIAH. WE MUST REPENT, AND CHANGE OUR WAYS. WE MUST FOLLOW AND OBEY MESSIAH AND HIS COMMANDS.
John 14:6“ MESSIAH (Jesus)N saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:21 -- He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. JOHN 14:15---'IF YE LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDS'-----
******
IN REVELATION 2:4, WE LEARN THE CHURCH OF EPHESIS HAS LOST THEIR ''FIRST LOVE''--LIKEWISE ALSO THIS MODERN CHURCH. IT SINGS SONGS, IT PRAYS FOR ITS ;NEEDS', IT EVEN SPEAKS OF HIS GOODNESS; BUT IT GIVES NO PLACE TO SUBMISSION TO HIS """LORDSHIP'''---THINK ABOUT IT?? WHEN IS THE LAST TIME, THE SERVICE GAVE 'SWAY TO FALL BEFORE HIS HOLY PRESENCE''---TO SEEK HIM ONLY, ASKING FOR NOTHING;---JUST BASKING IN HIS HOLY PRESENCE, AND LOVING HIM WITH OUR WHOLE HEART, MIND, STRENGTH IN SPIRIT.
TO BE CONTINUED
In HUMBLE OBEDIENCE
