Loving Forgiveness and Compassion

Sometimes we find it hard to show understanding and compassion, when it comes to others.  Especially when we feel like they should know better or it's the same old, same old thing.  It's easy to say he or she is without excuse.  But, when you think about some of the things that God has brought you and I through.  Or, if we haven't come so far as to forget.  We can remember the mistakes we made.  Many mistakes, made over and over again as though we were being paid.

My point is; we went to our Father God whom we knew could and would forgive; and, that's what he did.  He didn't scold us, he didn't judge us, he didn't persecute or crucify us.  He forgave us and showed love.  Yet sometimes in the hardness of the heart; it's easy to tear another person apart, while claiming it's a representation of God.  Remember, he didn't remind us of those faults.  He didn't make us feel uncomfortable in his presence.  He showed compassion and gave us joy and salvation everlasting.

If we claim to be a part of who he is.  We have an obligation to follow his lead and forgive.  If we are representing who he is we have a responsibility to show compassion and with the ability he has given to help those in need.  That is if we aim to be all he's created us to be.  Jesus Christ was crucified and died hanging from a tree, yet he arose from the dead so that all could be saved.  Not by our own might but by his mercy and grace.  Being a part in the body of Christ means that we have access to the keys of life.  Not by our good deeds or sacrifice.

Therefore the church is a place where the lost can be found.  Where we have a hand in lifting our brothers and sisters up off the ground when they are down.  Let us not take part in condemnation but through loving demonstration of the
Word Revelation; let us reach out through the Holy Spirit of Christ to find the lost, love, encourage and save a life.

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8):

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him (Luke 17: 3-4).

And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD (1 Samuel 3:21).

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

So is the gift not like it was by one that sinned: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification (Romans 5:16).

Finally, be all of one mind, having compassion one with another, love as brethren, be tender hearted, be courteous ( 1Peter 3:8):

It is not expedient for me doubtless to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord (2 Corinthians 12:1).

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4: 8).

Dear Lord, help us.  Rein in our mortal bodies and soften the harden hearts of your people.  Give us the mind of Christ so that we exemplify humility and forgiveness towards the brethren in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Let it go

There are times in our life when it seems like something just ain't right.  We know within our midst is deception and we have an unction to be silent, yet because of the temptation of pride, we'd rather participate in confrontation and release the anger.  Still we know  this is an attempt at causing you to slip.  Your walk with Christ may be at risk or in danger.  But Glory to God and Bless the Lord through the sight of Christ  we have a guiding light and we know we must not participate in it.  I've been there and I know there are times we have to say no.   Leave if necessary, take a walk and close that door.  

When you find yourself doing things you don't usually do.  Saying things and speaking in ways that are not like you.  Wasting time on people, places or things that lead to spiritual decrease rather than increase.  When you find your self at a lost about what's going on in your world.  When your smile is more often turned upside down and you're no longer comfortable in your own space.  You may have gotten off track or moved out of place.  All it takes is one bad choice.  A choice that has invaded your peace and you're now entertaining as foreign noise.   These could very well be signals or signs indicating you've gotten off course and there's a need for a better lead.   A better direction, a time to seek shelter.  

Shelter in the arms of the Lord who can calm the raging storm and guide you back home.  Home in Christ where you belong.  We can't control, the things of this world, because the battles not mine or yours.  Like sheep it's easy for us to stray away from the fold.  But Glory to God!  We have a Shepard who cares, a friend who knows.  All we have to do is let go and turn it over to God.  Confess with our mouth and in our heart.  We've made a wrong turn, we've made a wrong choice.  In the mighty name of Jesus; say I'm in need lord!  I'm in need of your guidance, your protection and love.  I'm your child and I know in you I have nothing to do with this world.  I am weak but you are strong.  Restore my faith, restore my hope and restore my joy.  Lead me into your presence, through prayer and your Word.  All else in this world today I let go.  In you today I go forth.  Leaving the road of darkness.  I close the door.   Today and everyday I let go.  The battle is not mine, it's yours.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6)

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).

Likewise the Spirit also helps our weakness: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:26-28).

For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it (Ecclesiastes 7: 12).

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8: 14-15).

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4: 7).            

Going Through

Walking on this journey is not an easy road.  There are rocks, bumps, knives and all kind of rodents.  But Glory to God, I don't have to carry a heavy Load.  He picks me up when I get weary and let's me know I'm not really the driver because he does the stirring.  He provides for my needs and sometimes it's in way in which one may not be pleased.  But I feel in my spirit that it is he.  I cry sometimes because of the evil I see.  Yet when I think about it I must thank God that I'm not blind and he's open my eyes so that I can see.

It hurts my heart to see some of the acts of men that reach out and destroy.  It may not be their intent, but because they are of this world.  They have nothing in me, yet they have many options.  Follow my lead or flee from me.  Because truly in deed.  The KING of Kings is who I aim to please.  The Omnipotent God who supplies my need.  He can choose how and whom ever he deems to show favor because he is who he is; The KING of Kings.

Sometimes it seems while on my way.  I have to get down in the dirt, while thanking God for the day.  Sometimes I feel exposed to the world.  My joy, my pain, my mistakes, my love.  Yet still I stand and I can't take in the opinions of man.  I run, I walk, I do all I can,  and another day I do this thing again.   I can see my growth and progress in him and that let's me know through him I'll win.  I can have joy in the midst because my God said it.  I can have peace because the Lord has me equipped.  I also know it's easy to forgot.  Forget that he's the one in charge and handling it.  So I stay in his Word and I know that all things work together for good, just as it should.

I've came across people who didn't seem to be walking on the same road as myself.  Observing the character and demeanor they possess.  I often felt they were there to disrupt my peace or interfere with my rest.  Only to see it's not about who or why they are.  It's about my position of growth and sometimes a need I had, in which God use all kind of folks.  So, as I changed my focus into his Word I realize his presence.  Though it may seem sore; it is an open door.  One I must go through in order to do what he has called me to do.

As we go through this life.  We must use that Word.  The Word we are in and the Word within us.  Knowing in order to move we must walk in faith and be able trust.  Trust not in man, but the God who can.  Who can take us through, provide our need and enable us to do what he has called us to do.

Glory to God and Bless the Lord!

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you (John 15: 7).

Arise, get you to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain you (1Kings 17:9).

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh (2 Corinthians 4: 7-11).

You that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked (Psalms 97: 10).

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11: 28-30).

Who Will You Serve

Sometimes we get caught up in what man thinks about us.  It may be a family member, friend or anyone we prioritize as being a person worthy or someone we love.  At any rate, it's not the thing that will give us, hope, love, peace or joy.  It's what I call a silent noise.  A source of distraction that hinders the sound of God's voice in our ears.  When what we should be doing is seeking his face and trying to win this race; because surly he's the one who will keep us in place and free our spirit to do what he has called us do.  Therefore let us beware of who we serve or choose.

It may not seem like it's anything, but when we strive and struggle to please a Friend, Spouse, Mother, Father, Sister or Brother.  We step outside the realms of respect and honour into the realm of worship and service.  The Word says we shall worship the Lord, him alone and no other.

Let us be free from the spiritual mind set of old Egypt and serve the God of Abraham, Issac and Israel.  Through his son Jesus Christ.  Let us be true to him, let us be real and live!  Let us look to serve our God and not people, places or things of this world.  In him we find confidence, in him we have peace, in him we have all we will ever need!

Therefore be-ware of the thoughts within your own heart.  Do they conform and line up with the Word of God?  If not, we can go to him in humility, confessing the issue along with our sin and ask him to cleanse us of the impurities we may have within.  God is a loving God and he examines the heart.  He wants us to live in him and be born again.  There's no greater love, no better peace, no kind of joy or anything more, you will find in this world.  So come to him, in reality and allow him to lead you into to all the best of you can truly be.


For do I now seek the favor of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ (Galatians 1: 10)

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me (Exodus 20:5);

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God (Isaiah 44:6).

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD (Joshua 24: 15).

Journey In Christ

Let us move in Christ as we move through this life.  The way that he talked.  The way that he walked.  How he loved.  How he represented the heavenly father with pure attributes from above.

Through persecutions and trials.  He walked this earth in sandals for miles.  He saved and forgave; men and women, of  many sins.

The people were fed and given instruction as children of God; to love the LORD with all of their heart.

He said his will shall be done and whom so ever will, may come!  Come unto him and let the journey began!  His spirit will abide within, when we allow him in.  Truly in him, we're at our best.  Forsaking all else.

We also, know, beyond a doubt.  Jesus healed and delivered.  Today he will bring you out!  He forgave and he raised the dead.  He said;  we shall have eternal life when we believe the Word that was said!  The Word that was crucified.  The Word that was dead!  The Word that has risen!  The Word of Truth which is now living!.

The  things he experienced like being denied.  He said we too may experience; so we should not be surprised.  But just as he lives, we too shall rise.  If we Journey in Christ, we shall have everlasting life!  We shall run this race and not loose our place!  We shall not have defeat.  We shall have victory!  Doors will close and doors will open as we journey in him, there is no doubt; we shall win!

In him there is loving power, the ability and strenth to do all things.  When the trumpet sounds, when this journey is over, when the bell rings.  We shall see him and hear him say; "Well Done".  What more can we ask for?  Our great King has overcome this world!

Therefore, as sons and daughters of the most HIGH; being saved through his son Jesus Christ.  We're to walk this journey in him throughout this earthly life.  Give him Glory and allow him to be who he is in you!  The Way.  The Word. The Life. The love. The Truth!

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him (Colossians 2: 6):


Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me (Matthew 16: 24).


If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you (John 15:7).


And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city Matthew 10: 7-15)

In light of the truth

 The Living Word of our  God has the power to change the mind and heart and will not keep you in the dark.  Though coming through the darkness may seem to burn like fire.  It's no more than our spirit going through a refinery.  Bringing us out like a new born baby, able and ready.

In light of the truth; know that, what's in your heart will eventually come through.  Showing itself in the life or death in which you choose.  Therefore;  let us be in the way, in which we can not lose.  Let the truth be the light that shines in our life; to give divine insight.  Knowing whatever's within, the beginning or end; will surly present itself whether you lose or win. If it be wrong or right.  Don't close your eyes, wear a disguise or try to deny.  In the light of truth there's freedom in life and all that you do.  

But Glory to God; wherever, however and no matter who you are, you're never too far from God.  

There's  an opportunity to see; if you will receive and truly believe.  An opportunity to change, and get rid of some things that may cause decrease.  At the same time  open doors of increase, while allowing our maker to install his Word within us.

Trust, our awesome God is all and all!  A consuming fire and through the spirit of truth he exposes the liar!  He delivers his children through his Living Word!  With the greatest love you could ever hope for.  Be sure and know that victory is yours in which there's awesome peace and unspeakable joy! 

For it is the will of man to abide in the world and do all that he can to satisfy the desires of the flesh.  But glory to God; because he knows what's best.  His will is truth and everlasting life.  It takes us on the path that is right and exposes the darkness of night.

 In the light of truth, let us be encouraged, abiding in his Word, knowing within him we shall Win!!!!  The gift of life!!!! As it is written, so let be!!!! The Living Word is truth, the light, the way and all we will ever need for life eternal and that abundantly!  

Give  Glory to God and Bless the Lord!

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14);

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come (John 16:13).

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness (John 12: 46).

And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:27).
