My love is enduring and so it must be with you "My children" for I AM a just and loving God visiting these Virtues upon those that choose love in an enduring manner, for to see My River of Life "TRULY" flow through you there can be NO Guile or sorrow, no hopeless desires for My hope in you "IS" Christ Jesus and his desire is My will and My will alone and so as you enter into my will all guile and tribulation begins to subside and a new and fresh awakening begins.
So take on my will for you each day and I WILL shut the mouth of the lions for you as you proclaim it to those that walk in and proclaim my love over themselves and others, for to love even your enemies is proof to ME you "have" chosen Me ~ and My enduring love begins to flow and set free the captive things in Your heart and others removing the obstructions of guile and hatred replacing it with My love in an enduring manner no longer subject to emotions of the flesh.
So "BE" My love in the spirit and truth of Righteousness for as I endured for you through Christ Jesus My son so you also must endure persecution and hatred through the choice of My love enduring in all and THROUGH all situations in your daily life.
So fast the earthly desires of your heart My children for truly it is My River of Life in the Love of The Father that brings My life to you in all your daily endeavors to Restore, Renew and build upon the Foundation of My Son in you "Forgiven".
Now walk in this forgiveness with all mankind for as you forgive others so I Shall forgive you!
Your Peace shall be found in "MY" love.
1 Corinthians 13
13 If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God's love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God's love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).
3 Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God's love in me), I gain nothing.
4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].
9 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).
10 But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded).
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.
12 For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God].
13 And so faith, hope, love abide [faith-conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope-joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love-true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Matthew 18:21-34
Amplified Bible (AMP)
21 Then Peter came up to Him and said, Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? [As many as] up to seven times?
22 Jesus answered him, I tell you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven!(A)
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a human king who wished to settle accounts with his attendants.
24 When he began the accounting, one was brought to him who owed him 10,000 talents [probably about $10,000,000],
25 And because he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and his children and everything that he possessed, and payment to be made.
26 So the attendant fell on his knees, begging him, Have patience with me and I will pay you everything.
27 And his master's heart was moved with compassion, and he released him and forgave him [cancelling] the debt.
28 But that same attendant, as he went out, found one of his fellow attendants who owed him a hundred denarii [about twenty dollars]; and he caught him by the throat and said, Pay what you owe!
29 So his fellow attendant fell down and begged him earnestly, Give me time, and I will pay you all!
30 But he was unwilling, and he went out and had him put in prison till he should pay the debt.
31 When his fellow attendants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and told everything that had taken place to their master.
32 Then his master called him and said to him, You contemptible and wicked attendant! I forgave and cancelled all that [great] debt of yours because you begged me to.
33 And should you not have had pity and mercy on your fellow attendant, as I had pity and mercy on you?
34 And in wrath his master turned him over to the torturers (the jailers), till he should pay all that he owed.
No, Jed.
You are not.
That doesn't even SAY anything.
It's certainly not possible for it to MEAN anything.
Oh, baloney. Quit adding words to Scripture. You are only doing the enemies work there.
The passage does not say or imply *sufficient* faith. That is doctrine of demons that it's the size of our faith which makes the difference spiritually.
Jesus said that if we had faith the size of a mustard seed, we could move mountains.
And did it ever occur to you WHY?
It's not because of the size of our faith, but the size of our God.
Oh goody.
and so it must be with you
Pass.
to see My River of Life "TRULY" flow through you
Sorry, I'm only into girls.
there can be NO Guile or sorrow, no hopeless desires
Well, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost their first playoff game to the Boston Bruins.
My will and My will alone and so as you enter into my will all guile and tribulation begins to subside and a new and fresh awakening begins.
What flavours of Kool Aid are you serving up?
So "BE" My love
My wife would object.
Well, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost their first playoff game to the Boston Bruins.
Yeah? Well I'll raise you the Buffalo Sabres, the team most likely to make it to the Stanley Cup and snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Kind of like the Bills and the Superbowl, you know.....
I grew up halfway between Toronto and Buffalo and was well acquainted with both. So was Tim Horton!!!
I still remember when Marv Levy was shoplifted from the Montreal Alouettes to coach the Bills and managed to lose three Super Bowls in a row.
Timmie's are spreading like wildfire in NYS and no wonder. They are GOOD!!!
I still remember when Marv Levy was shoplifted from the Montreal Alouettes to coach the Bills and managed to lose three Super Bowls in a row.
Only in Buffalo.
And Buffalo fans are still loyal......
My love for you and through you “IS” My Ordination .
So take on my ordainment that My love through you endures for it is “this” commandment alone that “IS” the very Cornerstone that I speak of against which there is NO weapon but My love is never changing it does not whither or fade it does not wax or whane for I AM Eternal and it “IS” the I AM I speak of “ I AM THAT I AM “ ——> MY LOVE and MY LOVE you “MUST” BEcome .
