Dearly Beloved Saints of God.

The Bible tells us that we should love one another. John   Chapter 13:34 & 35 A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one   to another? We should all be kind, caring, giving, loving and forgiving.  One of my many favorite scriptures is Ephesians 4:32 which says, And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.  But notice what the word says in the verse just before that:  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice.  When a person is bitter at another person they will do many hurtful things to them because they are so angry with that person.  They will speak all kinds of bad things and lie about that person. They will be mean spirited and do things to spite that person. 

I have preached the Gospel for many many years and I can tell you that I was surprised when I have run into so many so called Christians who are filled with anger, bitterness, hatred, gossip and jealousy.  I still do not understand how anyone cannot want the best for others.  I do not understand why people are jealous of those who are anointed by God.  The Lord just spoke to me and told me that jealousy is  the same spirit from the devil that the devil had when he was jealous of God.

People have had so much hurt and pain in their life already, I don’t know how anyone, especially a Christian, would   want to cause them any more pain. I know I don’t want to cause anyone any hurt or pain.  But there is one thing that I have found out and that is no matter how much you hurt , you can always talk to Jesus.  You can tell Jesus everything and anything.  He is the ONLY ONE that you can or should tell everything to.  As a matter of fact there are just some things that you had better only tell Jesus!  He will not scold you. Psalms 103:9.

There are people that will condemn you because of your past.  But you are free.  Jesus set you free. Whom the Son sets free is FREE INDEED.  In the word of God, The Pharisees and the scribes (the Religious People) brought a woman To Jesus who was caught in the act of adultery.   They said, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery, Moses and the law said we are to stone her.  What do you say we should do with her?   The Bible says, Jesus reached down on the ground and wrote with His finger.  They continued to ask Jesus. Jesus told them,   Let Him that is without   sin cast the first stone. The Bible says, Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground. This time, and one by one, her accusers left because they were convicted by their conscience.      Jesus looked at the woman and ask her, Woman, Where are your accusers and those that would condemn you?  She replied Sir, I have none.  Jesus said neither do I condemn you go and sin no more.  Oh Hallelujah! What A God!

Now I don’t know of a person on the face of this earth that can say they have no sin.  The Bible says, For we all have sinned and come short of the Glory Of God!  So no one has the right to put  other people down.  The reason a lot of people want to point their fingers at others and condemn them is because they have sin in their own life.  They like to do what I call,  deflect and project.  They think if they can point out other people’s sins that it will throw the light off of them.

Often times when someone does not get what they want they will turn on you. I have had people get mad at because they didn’t get something they wanted from me or  I didn’t do what they wanted or didn’t do things the way they thought that I should do them,  or I disappointed them in some way. They have tried to stop me and try to hinder doors that were being opened for me. I loved them anyway. 

I will say this though,   there are more that are for us than are against us.  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us?  God’s word says in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end.  It means this, my plans that I have for you are for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and hope.

Please let me encourage you to keep on going no matter what.   There are many so called “religious people”   and the ungodly people who will condemn you and try to put you down.    Please let us stop saying stupid things. Let us stop hurting one another.   Let’s tell somebody about Jesus!  What He did for you and me, He can do for others.  Let us treat one another with love and respect.
