How to Love People
We need to repent! We
need to communicate our love and approval of others as a child of God, or we
are not in the will of God. Jesus
commanded that “we are to love one another as I have
loved you” (John 15:12). That
means we are to love one another unconditionally, that is without
preconditions.(John
God’s Love
“He who does not love does not know God for God is love” (1 John 4:8).
“For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God had sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9).
“In this is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 10:10).
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
The Will of God
If we are in the mind
of Jesus Christ then we are doing the will of God!
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13).
“‘for the Lord your God is He who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you” (Deut 20:4).
“For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building” (1 Cor 3:9).
“And he said ‘Listen all you of
“He who overcomes shall be clothed
in white garments and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; and I
will confess his name before My Father and before His angels” (Rev 3:5).
“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door and
no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept my word, and have
not denied My name” (Rev 3:8).
“Indeed I will make those of the
synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie – indeed I will
make them come and worship before your feet and to know that I have loved you” (Rev
3:9).
“Because you have kept My command to
persevere I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the
whole world to test those who dwell on the Earth” (Rev 3:10).
“Behold I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take
your crown” (Rev 3:11).
“He who overcomes I will make him a
pillar in the temple of My God and he shall go out no more. I will write on him
the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which
comes down out of heaven from My God, and I
will write on Him My new name” (Rev 3:12).
“To him who overcomes I will grant
to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on
His throne” (Rev 3:21).
Why We Cannot
Judge!
We are not good enough. We don’t have all the facts. We are to treat everybody like a new friend.
“Judge not, that you be not
judged. For with what judgment you
judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured
back to you. And why do you look at the
speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own
eye? Or how can you say to your brother
‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?
Hypocrite! First remove the plank from
your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your
brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:1-5).
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:17).
“‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,
but have the light of life.’ The
Pharisees therefore said to Him, ‘You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is
not true. Jesus answered and said to
them, ‘Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is
true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know
where I come from and where I am going.
For you judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true;
for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. It is also written in your law that the
testimony of two men is true. I am One
who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me’”
(John 8:12-18).
“Then Jesus cried out and said, ‘He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge Him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges Him – the word that I have spoken will judge Him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak’” (John 12:44-50).
“‘Therefore whoever confesses Me
before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will
also deny before My Father who is in heaven’” (Matthew 10:32-33).
My Commandment From
God
“It is the duty of all nations to recognize the providence of God” – George Washington
God deserves all the glory, honor, and praise; we deserve nothing. What God gives to us is only out of his love and mercy, not anything we deserve. We don’t want what we “deserve” from God. We only want His mercy, and by grace we shall be saved!
“The nations of this world will be judged, not just the people of these nations.” (Matthew 25:31-46)
My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has commanded me to speak to this nation, the
This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and it has
retreated from the Word of God – its founding principles. The murdering
of unborn children (abortion) is the law of the land since the 1973 Supreme
Court decision of Roe v. Wade. The Word of God says this nation must
end the state-sponsored murder of unborn children. God says,
“You shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13), “Before I formed you in the womb I knew
you; before you were born I sanctified you.” (Jeremiah 1:5), and “For You
formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are
Your works, and that my soul
knows very well. My frame was not hidden
from You, when I was made in secret, and
skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet
unformed. And in Your book they all were
written, the days fashioned for me, when as
yet there were none of them.” (Psalm 139:13-16) Life is a gift from God.
Everyday thousands of unborn children are aborted. Since 1973, 45 million
babies have been brutally and shamelessly murdered. There is a holocaust
of unborn children in the
The woman who first brought this case before the Supreme
Court, Norma McCorvey (aka Jane Roe) has in the recent past petitioned the
Court to vacate its original decision.
The Supreme Court has refused to do so claiming it to be the law of the
land. Norma McCorvey is now a born-again christian and has seen the
error of her ways. Praise be to
God! But the
The abortion law
is one of the great stains on our
nation; however it is not the only sin of this nation. Our
nation has been going through a process of eliminating all vestiges of our
religious heritage under the disguise of freedom and tolerance. Political correctness has become our new
standard. Greed is our way of life;
making money no matter how it is done is our model of success. Tolerance and acceptance is our motto of
freedom. An anything goes society is
accepted and revered. Bad behavior is
rewarded. Decadence abounds! Individualism is our idolatry, our religion. The “Me” factor matters most; my rights are most
important!
Crime is running rampant
in our society! This nation has some of the
highest crime rates and some of the worst and most violent criminals
in the world. Our society has become insensitive,
uncaring, and unloving towards each other; we show no concern before or remorse afterwards towards
the victims of our bad conduct and
behavior!
The entertainment
industry, both the motion picture and music, are filled with sex, violence, and vulgar language. Decadence
abounds within this industry. Our
airwaves are riddled with hate and anger towards ourselves. In our nation, we pride ourselves to be a
“melting pot” of diverse cultures, a great strength of our society, and yet we do not respect or treat each other with
loving kindness! I must bring your
attention to Galatians 5:17-21 and Romans 1:28-32. I ask that you read these verses and allow
the Holy Spirit to come upon you for understanding. Romans 6: 23 gives us a clear message, “For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus Our Lord.” It cannot be any plainer than that. We as a people must turn away from our sins
in order to live in God’s Kingdom!
Sexual immorality and all forms of pornography are accepted
and are considered a normal part of our culture. We are the pornography capital of the world –
we produce the most smut. Women and especially young women are
exploited socially, economically, and sexually. The allure of beautiful women is an extremely
profitable business! Sexual acts with children and the desire of
such acts (pedophilia); and all acts of unrighteousness and aggression
towards children is extremely pervasive in
our democratic society. I now draw
your attention to Matthew 18:1-7 and Mark 9:36-37,42; the Holy Spirit has
called upon me to command you to go to the Holy Bible and read these verses for
your righteousness sake!
The use of drugs both
legal and illegal is widespread and an acceptable part of our society! “Alcohol
is perhaps the most dangerous drug
in our culture because of its complete acceptance by society, its total availability to the populace, and
its devastating effect on every
aspect of our national life – including our homes, our children, our individual
health, our safety, our schools, our jobs, our courts, and our government policies”
(Van Impe 8). “Alcohol is never approved of by God in any amount for the obedient
Christian” (Van Impe 8). Alcohol and
other drugs are a satanic deception! The use
of any behavioral or mind altering drugs, regardless of whether obtained
legally or illegally for recreational
purposes, is in clear opposition to
the Word of God; and furthermore drives
a wedge between us and Our Creator.
I draw your attention to Galations 5:16-21, Revelation 9:21. The use of the word “sorcery” within the
above context is in reference to the Greek text translation of the word
“pharmakia,” where in English the word “pharmacy” is derived from. We now understand the Word of God explicitly prohibits the use of drugs and furthermore
says that anyone partaking in the
use of drugs cannot enter into the
The political leaders
within our republic have disgraced themselves! Corruption on all levels of our government;
federal, state, and local; is rampant, epidemic. Our leaders do not necessarily serve the people
who have elected them; but they serve
their own interests and those who
can afford to give them the most money and put them in power! They line their own pockets! “But those who desire to be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts, which drown
men in destruction and perdition. For
the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed
from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many
sorrows” (1 Timothy 6:9-10). Absolute power has corrupted absolutely!
Democracy which
we as a people and nation so cherish and revere does not equal a society of Godliness,
Holiness, or Righteousness. Our
political leaders like to wave the banner of freedom and democracy around
the world – while they puff themselves up to be “great warriors” of our
system – as an answer to the world’s problems.
This is dangerous and disingenuous.
No man made system or
institution will ever solve the world’s heartaches and sufferings! The only
answer lies in a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ, Our Lord, which we must as a people seek
in order to find true love, peace, joy, and hope! This nation will fall because of sin, but we
as a people can be saved!
The greatness of America is not in its Constitution, the
White House, or in its Congress; it is not in any level of government, be it
city halls, townships, or villages; the greatness
of America has always been in its churches
and synagogues – worshipping, singing, and shouting hymns of praise; giving
glory, honor, and thanks to God!
We are the richest economically, and militarily the most
powerful nation in the world. We have
been blessed by God and it is His Will we are the superpower of the world. God
has given us so very much; rich and fertile land, abundance of fresh water,
untold natural resources, and freedom that you cannot receive anywhere else in
the world, but yet we act like spoiled children. We are
an arrogant and ungrateful nation! God will forgive us and our nation for sin,
but we must repent! There is no
other way. God is loving and merciful!
God cannot and will
not tolerate sin! He will hold our
nation and the people’s within it to His Commandments and righteous
standards. We as a nation do not
tolerate our laws being broken; we punish our law breakers and the wicked for
having harmed us! Sometimes our
punishments are harsh and can even lead to the loss of a person’s life; but we
deem this as necessary, although it is painful for us to administer such a
punishment! We as a nation hold our
people to a high standard through our laws and statutes and we demand obedience! God will hold this nation and the peoples
within it to His Laws and Commandments which supersede our laws and statutes; He demands our obedience!
Forgiveness For All
Sins
God forgives us of all our sins; there are none that are too great!
(John 8:1-11, John 17:1-26, Luke 23:39-41)God’s Promise
I am deeply grateful to Almighty God for His grace and
mercy, and for giving me birth into our great nation, the
