LETTING GO OF MEAN SPIRITED PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
PEACE COMES WHEN YOU REALIZE IT IS NOT YOU THAT THEY HATE, BUT THEIR OWN MISGUIDED LIFE
I feel so free tonight, a very heavy load is off of me. The Lord has removed some people out of my life, that only knew how to take and never gave anything back. Nothing is worst to me than to be with people who only see with an evil eye and become one of cruel words.
Mt 6:23, " But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
Lu 11:34 The light of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is sound, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
I asked the Lord why is these people so bitter and cruel?
This is what was given to me.
People become bitter over their lives they have because of their own choices and then hate everyone whom they think they just fell into a good life.
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.
Heb 12:15 looking diligently lest any fail of the grace of God, or lest any root of bitterness springing up disturb you, and by it many are defiled,
Luke 13:7 "Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?' 8 "But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 'And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.'" So even Jesus used this parable to not let it used up your life. The tree got only four years to produce fruit. Some people in our lives that has been with us for years will never celebrate what we do for them or for the Kingdom for that matter. So as one of my sisters told me, LET THEM GO! And Mike Murdox says NEXT!

JESUS DIED ON PURPOSE
THE
(SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to the death .
At the time
crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst
criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was
even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike
other criminals condemned to death by
crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the
cross by His hands and feet.
Each nail
was 6 to 8 inches long.
The nails
were driven into His wrist. Not
into His palms as is commonly
portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that
extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew
that when the nails were being hammered into the
wrist that tendon would tear and
break, forcing Jesus to use His back
muscles to support himself so that He could
breathe.
Both of His feet
were nailed together. Thus He was forced to
support Himself on the single nail that
impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could
not support himself with His legs because of the pain
so He was forced to alternate between arching His
back then using his legs just to continue to
breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the
suffering, the courage.
Jesus endured this
reality for over 3 hours.
Yes,
over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of
suffering? A few minutes before He died,
Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water
from his wounds.
From common images
we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound
to His side... But do we realize His wounds
were actually made in his body. A hammer
driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped
and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a
Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But
before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and
beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the
flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His
face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The
crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men
would not have survived this torture.
He had no more blood
to bleed out, only water poured from His
wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters
(just less than a gallon) of blood.
Jesus poured all 3.5
liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His
members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond
that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His
chest..
All these without
mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own
cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his
face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight,
only for its higher part, where His hands were
nailed).
Jesus had to endure
this experience, to open the
Gates of Heaven,
so that you can have free
access to God.
So that your sins
could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!
Don't ignore this situation.

CHRIST DIED FOR YOU

I read this scripture in the Bible , but I don't see this scripture in today saints.
The Apostle Paul loving Jesus and the Gospel more than life itself, suffered so much for the Gospel and the work of the ministry wrote this to the Church of Jesus Christ.
1 Cor. 13:4 "¶ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, DOES NOT SEEK ITS OWN, is not provoked, thinks no evil;6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7. BEARS ALL THINGS, believes all things, hopes all things, ENDURES ALL THINGS."
From where I stand it seems to me that nearly every decision the modern child of God makes today's is based on seeking his own benefits. They refuse to bear any hardship for the work of the ministry. I had someone tell me recently they could not go to the church where the their heart wanted to go to if they wanted to live peaceably in their home. I thought of the many women in the early days of Pentecostal church who were lock out of their homes at night for going to church. Many were even beaten. My own grandmother, Rosa Cadwalter and her brother, Hugh Cadwalter were thrown out of their family's home for receiving the Holy Spirit. When given a choice, they chose to serve their God in the way they knew was right and real. Because of their choice and many more saints, the Pentecostal Denominational is the largest Protestant organizational today except for the Roman Catholics church.
Today many have sold out their convictions for less than thirty pieces of silver and will not endures anything that has some kind of pain or pressure for the cause of the Gospel. But rather for the most part they seek THEIR own as does the world. I ask myself what happen to the child of God that understood his position in Christ, "that after doing all STAND.
2 Cor. 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
I can truly boast in these scriptures for they have been tried in me many times. Many people as well as ministers have tried to talk me out of my own convictions, telling me that God did not want me to suffer for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. I believe instead of asking out of every trial, ask God for more GRACE. GRACE that is much bigger than the trial. Also sometimes God is working on you. Remember what Peter said " 1Pe 4:12 ¶ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;." The Apostle Paul said he bore the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ in his body. Child of God there are trials but He will deliver you out of them all if you are faithful. I don't regret a time that I trusted in HIS WORD and His faithfulness in my life.
