How To Permanently Eradicate Evil And Hatred From Your Life

As this eventful month and this despairing year comes to a close, I hear a mournful outcry from our land ravished by violence and bloodshed flowing from countless corpses strewn from city-to-city; state-to-state, and nation-to-nation. A cry for earth's remaining human beings to return to their original form; made in God's awesome splendorous image with Agape Love-tenderness of heart, brotherly love, charity, and goodwill to your neighbor. The blood spilled out on the land cries out for an immersion in Agape Love.  The blood spilled on the Cross cries out for a restoration of Agape Love.

  However true Agape Love can only take place in the heart.  A circumcised heart.  A humble repented heart. A heart that is submitted to God.  A heart that loves God with all of its might and cares for the wellbeing of others. One not hardened and filled with pride, arrogance, antagonism, and selfishness, but pulsating with the compassion of Christ Jesus.

   Evil and Hatred are waging war against Agape Love for the soul of this Nation.  Agape Love is power.  It makes you the master of every situation.  As long as you walk in love you cannot be hurt, and you cannot fail.  No one has the power to hurt your feelings because you should not be ruled by feelings, but by God's Agape Love.

Now is the hour to put to death those things that do not come from God. Many professing believers are roaming through this land infected with the evil and hatred permeating this society, thus grieving the heart of God.  Their hearts have become hardened to the purpose God designed them to be; witnesses of His Agape Love, His Word, and  His Mercy.

REFLECTIONS

In the midst of cleaning and sorting my accumulated mountain of papers, I came across a treasure of quotes that need to be shared.  For example;

Doubt: "never sees God in the situation, but Faith says regardless of the    situation God will see me through to the other side."

"Don't doubt in the darkness what God has said in the light."

FAITH: "says God is able; God is going to see me through; if I believe and trust in Him."

"Great Faith must be tested greatly."

"Storm Trials strengthen you faith."

GRACE: "what GOD gives us to become what He wants us to become."

PRAYER: "A strong prayer life builds a relationship with God."

WORSHIP: Who or What do you worship?

"If you worship anyone or anything other than Father God or the LORD Jesus Christ than you are in serious trouble."

  "Your key reason for existence is to worship GOD!"

  "Worship is a mark of the child of GOD."  
  
  "The key to victory over the enemy is worship."

  "Worship pleases God.  God inhabits the praises of his people."

What helps me to worship Father God, more and more, is studying His word and learning and knowing the truth about Him.  As a result, I develop an inner peace knowing that Father God is faithful and He keeps His word.

The Book Has Arrived!

Finally, after many years of writing and rewriting; battling discouragement and feelings of incompetency; my first book(God's book) has come to fruition.

The book is available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and from the publisher GreenTree Publishers, Newnan, Georgia.

I wrote the book, first of all, to give God the glory for saving me and to be obedient to His word which says; 

"Write The Vision; make it plain upon tablets so he may run who reads it,"-Habakkuk 2:2.

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony," Rev.12:11 & 1:19 "Write the things which you have seen and the things which are; and the things which shall be hereafter."

Next, I wrote the book to set the "captives free" that are deceived by lies from the enemy of our thoughts, that suicide is a problem solver; it definitely is not.  Suicide is the number two (2) leading cause of all deaths in America and worldwide over 800,00 people die by suicide every year.

 And, to set the "captives free" from fear and guilt; tools of the enemy, that if they are not conquered they will be used to lead you to death.  Guilt never says you are worthy of anything and that you are not forgiven.  Fear creates a situation in your mind that hasn't happened yet.

"The responsibility of the Christian writer is to convey right ideas.  An idea that can stir others must instruct, delight, inspire.  The writer's task is to find words to create understanding, to provide a bridge between his mind and heart and the minds and hearts of his readers."- Elizabeth Yates.

Last but not least, I wrote the book as a legacy to my living children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren and those to come.

May all of you who chose to read the book be blessed beyond measure.

Thank you!

Judgement, Revival, or the Last Spiritual Awakening?

        The current wave of disasters on earth, either man-made or God sent; promote an environment fertile for an awakening-or epic revival.  Revival, commonly defined as a new beginning of obedience to God and His word, is a spiritual phenomenon where backslidden  Christans and sinners experience conviction of sins committed; an ingredient that is needed for repentance.

           A Holy Spirit Revival ushers God's light into this dark world.

                              For you are my lamp O Lord

               The Lord shall enlighten my darkness."

                                                  (2Samuel:22:29).

"I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness."

(John 8:12).

        Light is the most powerful principle in creation; it causes all order, beauty, and life in the universe.  All the eerie shapes of evil that haunt the darkness vanish in daylight.  With this in mind, circumstances enveloping this present world could certainly use fresh rays of God's light.

       Although, it has been over a hundred years since the last great awakening/revival, the Bible promises in Joel chapter 2 that the Latter Rain Revival is coming.  God will empower His people in the end time for the message of hope they will carry.  Repentance and prayer is key to this end-time revival.  It will be a day like no other. It will be a Holy Spirit Revival of stupendous proportions. Is your oil in your lamp?  Will you be ready?

INCREASING VIOLENCE in the LAND

     God's word warns us of terrible times in the last days.  The Apostle Paul prophesied  in 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 1-5 that;

         "In the last days there will be an overwhelming deluge of ungodliness.  That Satan will bring great destruction on the family. Children will be disobedient to their parents and men and women will be without  true love."

      True Love comes from God.

              "God is love.  Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him"
              "If anyone says, love God, yet hates his brother, he is a liar.  For anyone who does not                      love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.                                   Whoever loves God must also love his brother."

     Paul continues to warn that things will become worse as the end approaches.  The last days will be marked by ever-increasing wickedness in the world, and a collapse of moral standards and an increase of hatred for one another.  However, hate will not triumph over true love and righteousness.  Only through the Holy Spirit can we overcome the evil in this world.

      "Beloved let us love one another for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God..."

    "He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness..."

    "THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THEM THAT DO EVIL" (1Peter 3:12).


    "Today, if you hear His voice do not harden your heart, REPENT and be Saved.(Romans 10: 9-10).
               



*Brother is defined as : neighbor, co-worker, passerby, friend etc..

FEAR is the NEGATION of FAITH

Fear and uncertainty hoover over this world like a hawk poised for action; fearfully wielding absolute power over the minds of the many who are watching for impending doom.  Fear has driven numerous souls to an untimely death, insanity, and numerous diseases.

  But God; has not given His children a spirit of fear, so why are there an increasingly large number of Christians choosing to embrace it?  They appear to lack spiritual understanding that God is control of this world and the affairs of men.  God is sovereign.

God's Word says; "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." (Matthew 24:6).

Fear not what is to come but, "Fear God and keep His commandments." (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

"Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28).   

                                                                                                                                                                    If God be for me, who can be against me?     "For I am convinced the neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our LORD," (Romans 8: 38-39).                                                                                                                                                                           

There still may be time for you to repent and get your mind and spirit in God's order.  We who belong to the true living God have His Word and His promises to rest in and be at peace.

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7).

Think About This!

     In CHRIST We Have...


A love that can never be fathomed;
A life that can never die;
A righteousness that can never be tarnished;
A peace that can never be understood;

A rest that can never be disturbed;

A joy that can never be diminished;
A ope that can never be disappointed;
A glory that can never be clouded;
A happiness that can never be interrupted;
Resources that can never be exhausted.
