LOVE vs. RESPECT
1Peter 2:17a Honor all men. Love the brotherhood...
We have been told, by many in high places, that we, as people of the earth, MUST love one another, to become united for the sake of peace. Many songs have been written as cries, to create a united people by love. Even Christian leaders cry out for the same thing! Only utmost respect for one another creates peace not love! Love is for those that are and stay united in and by God.
According to our HB, that use of love is a fallacy! It is wrong to take one concept out of the HB, without examining ALL that God talks about in His HB! Yes, God is love, but God is also just in correcting Man with a tough love, out of respect for him, that might be painful!
Utmost respect is foundational to a love that lasts! The HS, via the many scribes of the HB, tell us that we are to RESPECT ALL men, BUT love the brotherhood! This is maintained and stays bonded by the God of the HB. A united people that love and reverence God, are given a special kind of love that creates an everlasting brotherhood. Only God knows who are the true brothers in Christ!
So why respect Man when he rarely deserves it? Man has a will and choice to turn away from his wicked ''life of survival'' and become a child of God that then can become one of the elite brotherhood. We too were enemies of God at one time.
That elite brotherhood was created and is sustained by the reverence of God to provoke those, out of the Way of God, to make them jealous, so they would greatly desire the Way back to God, being reconciled through Jesus Christ, the only Way back to God, the Father.
What is the end result of that reconciliation? An Everlasting Life in Christ!
As far as loving our enemies goes, those people are those that have intentionally hurt us in our personal lives, people we knew. In that case, God used those people to prod us to come closer to God. Loving them is to stay separated from them and pray for them, because God just revealed to them their treacherous hearts. They need God just as we need God!
Psalms 133:13 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
WHEN REBELS RULE...MIRACLES CEASE!
How is it that, in the times of Jesus and the early church, signs, wonders and miracles happened? Has God withheld His gifts to Mankind? Is Mankind asleep or has God put Mankind into a deep sleep? Is Man oversleeping and not aware of his part in this relationship? Has God changed or is Man doing his own thing living in a survival mode via his own thinking and imagination? We must go back to our timeless Holy Bible to better understand what has happened and to awaken to God's blessings.
Man's disobedience in the Garden of Eden was sin. Man was not willing to humble himself before God and ask for forgiveness. Instead Adam provoked God to anger, by blaming Eve, God's gift to Adam as a companion, to keep him from sorrow. There was and always will be a consequence to rebellion! They were evicted. Man was now in a survival mode having to conjure up ways to sustain himself by their own imagined and rebellious thinking. Rebels need to suffer in sorrow!
As Man's thinking evolved, the separation from God and God's thinking grew far apart. Separation from God makes Man's thinking to become corrupt. God then created a flood that destroyed the earth, yet saving Noah's household. Noah reverenced and obeyed God. He saw God's grace in life which withheld God from destroying Mankind completely. None of us would be here if it wasn't for the mercy of God!
At that time, violence filled the hearts of men. Arguing, debate and provocations were the norm. Sound familiar? God remembered the time when Adam provoked Him and was tossed out of the Garden for it. Mankind was also warned, through Noah, to turn back to their Creator. It seems Man would rather be free of God's instruction and live a free life of rebellion, even if in a survival mode. Rebels will suffer in sorrow!
God, in His mercy, created a nation to bring back Man into fellowship with His Maker. Israel came forth from God's chosen seed, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and those that made up the nation of Israel. They were shown the goodness of God and experienced the blessing of ''oneness with God'' by being promised a land of plenty. They were to become His witnesses for Mankind. God chose them to reveal His existence and His goodness for those that desired a better life. They too rebelled!
The promises of God are many. Israel was told to get new and stay renewed, so the Lord would create signs and wonders among them. The miracles of then were talked about with great excitement because they now knew that God was with them and would continue doing things for them IF they shared his miracles with others, walked with Him and stayed bonded to Him.
Is Man's brain the rebel? Man's brain hates submission to any authority because it can think for itself, figure things out or imagine most anything. Funny, Man deceives himself and has forgotten that even the brain was created by an authority greater than him, God, His Creator. We can now forego rebellion and choose to survive or thrive!

The Days of Noah...Repeating History...NOW!!!
In the days of Noah, thousands of years ago, violence filled the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of the heart of man were evil, all of the time. Man was striving with God then and is now! The Flood destroyed mankind, but God promised to never do that again. However, He never promised that He would stop Man from destroying himself. He said He would not subvert a man in his cause. So here we are, 7 billion people, not knowing what to do in a polluted world, whose resources are dwindling.
God does not change! He has held back His wrath on Man over thousands of years because He is merciful. We are now living under the curse of God. How can He be merciful cursing Mankind by His wrath? The curse of God is sorrow. The more Man sins, the more sorrow He allows to penetrate Man's mind. Anti-depression medications are prescribed like never before! God uses sorrow so Man will turn away from his imagination understanding and come back to Him so we can become the People He desires.
Man is so stubborn though, the more depression comes, the angrier Man is becoming. Man would rather stay free of God and live in a survival mode. Man continues to try to create forms of happiness with his imagination. But even those happenings are of no value because another sect of Man is creating violence in the earth. Even arguing has become a low-level violence that creates division! The earth is now in an angry state of confusion, resulting in wars, as we destroy each other! And forget about the wars, look at what Man is doing to the environment!
The true People of God must separate themselves, NOW, from society and wait upon God continually to show them THE WAY, away from this madness until the wrath of God is accomplished! It is time to turn the other cheek, the rear cheek, and turn away from the world and its ways. It is time to ''Watch and Pray", to live lives that honor God and not fuel the imaginations of Man with our time and money.
Judgment is also being executed at the house of God! Many churches are closing their doors. Many church leaders are falling away too because they were to stay separated unto God from sin and supposed to teach their flocks about living out ''separation from the world'' by the daily instruction of written Word of God! The Word of God leads to continual prayer so we can navigate through life as hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: "Dear Lord. Forgive us if we have engaged in areas of life that are not pleasing to You. Show us The Way on how we MUST live, leading and guiding us through this madness Man has created by his evil imagination. Amen and Amen."
MY STORY
I was raised in a Christian home. Went to church on a regular basis. I got mixed messages from those in the church. Confused, left the church scene and went on my way in search of a prosperous life worth living. The Holy Spirit appeared to me one night after a close friend had died and I heard a voice in a profound thought form that said, ''It's time to come home''.
I opened my Bible for comfort and began a spiritual journey I did not know existed. I realized that the Holy Bible was my ''daily bread'' to keep my mind cleaned and renewed on a daily basis so each day became a new day, led and guided by the Holy Spirit! What an incredible way to live!
After 30+ years of daily reading and studying the Bible, the Lord became my priority in life, keeping my head clear and praying continually to hear His voice of instruction in all areas of my life. Yes, the churches have their functions and are not perfect because they are filled with imperfect people. Fellowship in a church is good, but fellowship with the ''spirits of just men made perfect'', those within the pages of our Holy Bible is better!
To believe in the Lord is only the first step in living out Real-Time Christianity. We then must be tried by others to see if we will stay faithful to the Lord by and through the Word of God and prayer.
We then get His Faith, a gifted faith, that then brings us into a constant fellowship with the HS, learning, growing and staying led by Him. Many are called and few chosen! Why live a life without God and His divine plans for you?
We are called by Heaven, to ''Watch and Pray''. As I am led by the Holy Spirit, He sends those to me that are also called into an intimacy with the HS that is far above the interactions we might have in a religious setting of potential Spirit-led Christians.
Many are called to this life, but few are chosen. Those that are chosen, know the importance prioritizing a ''real-time faithfulness''. Each day is now a new day!
