Love the LORD with all your heart. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies.
With the measure you judge you will also be judged.
Love the LORD with all you heart.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love your enemies.
Guide one another in positive things and steer one another away from things that are negative by being a physical example of the positive.
Please pray the LORD's PRAYER and please read:
JAMES 2:1-13
1 My brothers, do not let class distinction enter into your faith in Jesus Christ, our glorified Lord.
2 Now suppose a man comes into your synagogue, well-dressed and with a gold ring on, and at the same time a poor man comes in, in shabby clothes,
3 and you take notice of the well-dressed man, and say, 'Come this way to the best seats'; then you tell the poor man, 'Stand over there' or 'You can sit on the floor by my foot-rest.'
4 In making this distinction among yourselves have you not used a corrupt standard?
5 Listen, my dear brothers: it was those who were poor according to the world that God chose, to be rich in faith and to be the heirs to the kingdom which he promised to those who love him.
6 You, on the other hand, have dishonoured the poor. Is it not the rich who lord it over you?
7 Are not they the ones who drag you into court, who insult the honourable name which has been pronounced over you?
8 Well, the right thing to do is to keep the supreme Law of scripture: you will love your neighbour as yourself;
9 but as soon as you make class distinctions, you are committing sin and under condemnation for breaking the Law.
10 You see, anyone who keeps the whole of the Law but trips up on a single point, is still guilty of breaking it all.
11 He who said, 'You must not commit adultery' said also, 'You must not kill.' Now if you commit murder, you need not commit adultery as well to become a breaker of the Law.
12 Talk and behave like people who are going to be judged by the law of freedom.
13 Whoever acts without mercy will be judged without mercy but mercy can afford to laugh at judgement.
GOD BLESS US ALL,

love my enemies... would this include Satan? just seems a big touched to continue loving him while he’s busy hacking off my limbs
and i’m not sure this includes the mental disease that is the American commie.
they focus on coveting everything others have worked for and push to steal it via govt (and don’t get me started on what they want for the unborn)
oh, don’t get me wrong... i pray for their soul and wish it safely to its eternal resting place... sooner rather then later.
Leviticus 18:22
Matthew 6:5-8
Oh I cannot Love the Lord with all my heart ,soul, and mind—and my neighbor as myself—If I do not proclaim as good and
to be desired that which the Lord called good and to be
desired. I cannot pass by as my neighbor is at risk of being consumed by the flames without doing everything I can to pull
him from the fire. Some with compassion —others with fear
but too many of my fellow Christians do not distinguish between Love of my neighbor— and ‘taking pleasure—and doing
as the unrighteous do. (see Romans 1:18-32)
AMEN!! Always. GOD confirms HIS children as they slowly step into the CHURCH of the Spirit.
GOD BLESS US ALL,

One who has the power to bring down many angels does not.
Yet, HE allows the “ adversary” to talk to HIM, ask HIM questions, ask requests, tempt HIM, and HE never kills; that’s love.
When it’s time to die, it’s time to die. The physical must go. This is life. How it goes?? No one knows. But, we know it must go.
Life, jobs, and all. No matter how educated, pretty, or wise someone is, they still must rely on GOD to get them what they now call “ theirs”. No one can take from someone that is not theirs. GOD makes it rain and shine on the wicked and righteous.
LUKE 4:1-13
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 where for forty days he was tempted[a] by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’
9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
How to treat your enemies and those that do wrong to you and know that GOD feeds/blesses the righteous and wicked:
MATTHEW 5:43-48
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
As far as the unborn. GOD is the controller of life and death. Only HE knows when we are supposed to live and die.
Beware of those that try to carry people astry with the lines:
“ Born to early”
“ Born to late”
“ Died to early”
“ Died to late”
“ Almost died”
“ clean, not clean”
and more:
MATTHEW 15:1-14
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
GOD BLESS US ALL,

AMEN! Little one sided though.
Please read:
1 CORINTHIANS 7:1-9 along with your LEVITICUS 18:22.
This makes the full answer of the understanding of these sins you mention.
GOD BLESS US ALL,

We are all sinners.
Many dont realize that prayer is power.
Prayer and fasting is even more power.
Living by example, along with prayer and fasting, makes walking ministry; many will change that meet you when you do all this. This I have already seen in my faith walk. But, one must have patience and love. As we are only there to plant the seed of faith. GOD must draw the person to HIM. It’s not our job to bring anyone anywhere. ONly GOD can draw a person.
JOHN 6:44
44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
GOD BLESS US ALL,
Jesus4life
