06/05/2011 Recieve the Gift of Love Contnued 1 Corinthians 13:5

God Bless you this wonderful week. I trust you have had a good week and things are well.

We have been a study on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

This is an in depth scripture so breaking it down bit by bit is necessary. Today We will look at “Love is Not self seeking” and lets just re cap a little first.

Love, we know it is the most powerful force I showed you last week. We know that not a lot of people are operating in love in their walk on earth and this world is crying out for that. We know God actually is LOVE and Jesus said Love is the KEY and we are to walk in love to others even if they are not with you. We have studied a little on "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude,
We know walking in love is hard to do at times as your initial reaction is to do what other people or circumstances are doing to you. We learnt that people do not know the power of LOVE itself. In fact we have learnt that people are breeding the nature and character of the devil ( the fallen angel) in our world rather than love itself! I would like to show you more about what the bible says regarding love and peoples experiencing.
I can say this very boldly as I have walked in love many times against adversaries (people who oppose you/ the enemy) and I did not find it hard most of the time. It may have been hurtful and confusing instead. However there has been occasion when I have wanted to give back what the person or situation has been giving to me or mine. This is a natural instinct you would think? No. That is a lie!

One of the most important scriptures you will ever read is a bit further down we shall see in a moment.
This scripture shows you Gods intention for us and who we actually are. It shows you where you came from. Forget theories of evolution, not one has been scientifically proven as fact. In fact all they are, are THEORIES. A theory is an idea only! People don’t know this and instead go along with what the scientists idea is. Do some research, I can confidently say that you wont be disappointed in fact you will be illuminated to the truth. Well the bible is a book that is written by people?
These people where inspired by the Holy Ghost ( one of the trinity of God ) as I showed you previously God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Ghost. The bible is ALIVE, It is Powerful, It is sharper than the sharpest two edged sword as I have shared previously in Hebrews 4:12.

Do I agree with this just because the scripture says it? No. I would be a stupid not to test it out. I have tested it out over my life and circumstances for 6 years. And guess what? It is the ultimate truth. The only full truth. But not just me, Billions of people throughout time have found the truth out through the bible. I have shared in previous blogs regards the bible and prophecy ( foretelling of future events). We saw that no other source comes even remotely any where near the bible and what its has foretold. See my other blog. Including prophecy over the earthquakes and disasters that are happening right now in the world! And not to forget to mention the Middle East and all that has been going on for a long time. Its constantly in the news. If people would just read the bible its would shows you why this is happening. It would confirm what has already happened and what is still yet to come. The devil has not wanted to you find this out because he knows the power of truth and the bible. The devil has wanted to keep you blind to the truth for no other reason than “to steal, to kill and destroy” your life in John 10:10. The next part of the scripture says Jesus said “But I have come that you might have life and have it in all its fullness” as I have shared in a previous blog. I have already shared that Jesus said in John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”
The bible which is Gods word, His spoken word through people who have had a relationship with him and worked for him is FACT. It has been proven so over and over again. Do some research for yourself. Don’t just take my word for it. You will not be sorry that you did. You will have gained precious revelation from your maker God who wanted you to know.
If you read Genesis the beginning of the bible in the old testament you will see the God created the heavens and the earth, the moon, stars, sun. I shared this in a previous blog. He God, made everything including us. The great things about Us ( mankind ) is God made us special. We are blessed, we were made in his image and since we all come from God; This is the one of the most important scriptures you will ever read.

Genesis 1:26 “ Then God said ( to the Holy Spirit), Lets us make man in our image, according to our likeness let them have dominion over the fish of the sea over the birds of the air and over the cattle of the field, over ALL the earth and over every creeping things that creeps on the earth., So God created man in his own image: In the image of God he created him; male and female He created them. Then God BLESSED them and said “ Be fruitful and Multiply” fill the earth and subdue it.”

This shows we were made just like him and who is He? He is LOVE. I have shared this is previous blog and given you many scriptures to show you that God is love; He doesn’t just feel love, He actually is LOVE.
So if God is Love and we are made in the image of Him then we are meant to be LOVE. How can we be love when all this is going on the world. If you would read Genesis 3 as already shared you would find out why the world is the way it is and why people do the most terrible things to others including children. It will give you the answer as to why billions are sick and starving. The world was cursed. Read it and see. It shares God sent Jesus Christ back part of the trinity (God head) to save us from this and anyone who excepts him will be saved. I have shared many scriptures on this in previous blogs too. Please read them, It could really change your life. For the true one you were destined to have by God. The scripture Genesis 1:26 is a message in itself. We are Blessed!
We have seen that Love is actually more than a feeling and that Gods Love is Agape (unconditional love) Steadfast, immovable, never ending. The world does not operate enough in this type of love instead operates in Eros ( man and women attraction) and Phillio (brotherly love). Both these types of love are where you get something back in return. God wants nothing back but for you to experience the very best both here now and while you are living on earth but most importantly; God wants your spirit to go to Him in Heaven. When your spirit leaves your body when you physically die you either go to Heaven or Hell. We saw that the only way to heaven and be with God was through Jesus Christ. See previous blogs where scripture support is please.

You really can walk in love since you are made in Gods image who is love.
It’s a choice. Once you are REBORN Made NEW You have Him, God inside you, He breathed His breath in you see Genesis 2 . But as this was sepetarted through the Fall on ly through JESUS CHRIST was this restored,. being recociled to the FatherThis made you a spirit being which is eternal as we have seen.
We saw that your spirit (Gods Breath) is dormant/separated until you are resurrected/awakened by Christ (see Easter message) and what happened in the garden of Eden with the devil, Adam and Eve in Genesis 3.
Since God is love and we are made in his image and likeness- Likeness is His attributes, His nature, His character.
We too can walk in love but through deception and the way people operate because of the curse this has been subdued tremendously. I am here to tell you that in fact it does not have to be that way. We can walk in love and spread Gods love nature, character, attribute back into the world as we were designed to have done in the first place. There are many good lovely people out there. I am blessed to have many as my friends and true family now.

But we all know too well that there are many bad, nasty, evil people out there too. And unfortunately it’s a choice. A choice only you can make. No matter how much deception has been upon you. God always get the truth out there its up to the person to either accept it or reject it. Its all about choice as my previous blog ended on. That’s the beauty and wonder of God, your father, the maker of the universe, the ancient of days. He would never force you to do anything you didn’t want to do including walking in love and experiencing its power. it’s a choice. Yours alone. Make the right one!

So lets look at the next part of 1 Corinthians 13:5 “Love is not self seeking”.

Self Seeking- I automatically think of selfish. Actually it is self love. Don’t get me wrong to love yourself in the right way a healthy way; it is what is needed in order for you to maintain a good life and not be treated badly. But to love yourself in the self seeking way God talks about in 1 Corinthians 13:5 is damaging. You will find that it is blocking God working in your life and could be potentially damaging others too. Don’t do that! I have had many, I am sure, say behind my back she loves herself! They have done this by the way I look or what ever other reason. This could not be further from the truth.

You may have been the recipient of this yourself, or you could well be the one who is doing the talking behind another persons back regarding thinking they think they are better than you. Its not about what you or they look like, what you or they have done, who your or there family is, where you or they work, what you or they do for others even. Its about getting past yourself. Way past yourself to consideration for others. Thoughtfulness beyond yourself.
There are so many people out there who have been less fortunate than others for example. And if you have been reading my blogs you will now know that most of the issues they are facing are not their fault. Its caused by the curse. Even if it was their fault they need help, and a little bit of love goes along long way as we have already seen. Well that’s not my problem? No it is not, but do you think adding to the problem they have by ignoring them and their issue for example will help them? No. It probably make matter worse. Why do that to another when you have the choice.

I can say this boldly, because being a minister is a servant and that requires you getting past yourself and being there for others. I would not be able to represent God unless I was living what I preached. And live it I do, in LOVE.
This does not mean to say I am perfect, It does not mean I think highly of myself in fact the opposite it has never been about me. Its about God, what He wants His people to know and about me living this out in daily life representing him.

So lets look at what self seeking means in the English dictionary.

1. Pursuing only one's own ends or interests.
2. Exhibiting concern only with promoting one's own ends or interests
Lets go a little deeper with self seeking:

Selfish - To be concerned with your own self and not interested or bothered about another. Do we have so many people like that around today? I wonder how many you have come into contact with this week? Have a think. Have you been like that this week? Selfishness is not a nice quality to have.
It is not interested in the thought of another persons life or situation and only interested in itself and what it can gain.

Self interested- Me me me me me me me me me! How many people know such a person? I have come across many people who are only interested in their life, their world, so what if others are going through stuff I don’t care. Its not my problem. Its all about me! If its isn’t I don’t want to know. Or im quite happy with my little world and family anyone else can forget it.

Mercenary- Someone who’s desire is for monetary gain. Don’t we know the world runs like this! Why cant people give without anything in return? I mean give your time, effort etc. Well why do preachers get paid? They have sole faith in God for their ministry including me. God does provide and as the bible shows its through People!

Calculating- shrewd, crafty! This list goes on when we try to explore self seeking. The lord does not want me to go in depth about this as people know full well what self seeking means. And I have no doubt that either you have been the recipient of someone else’s selfishness or you have been selfish yourself. Either way Jesus is the answer. He helps you sort that right out. I can also boldly say that God does not want you to experience that at all. He never intended you to experience that or be like that. We have seen this in Genesis 1:26

There were many men and women of the bible who got past selfishness to aid or help another. I am not saying this is what The Lord wants you to do either. But I am saying what God has said and that is “Love is not self seeking”

Take a look at 1 Kings 17 onwards also 2 Chronicles and Malachi for the story and mention of ELIJAH the prophet. He was a man set apart. He was God's man. God is looking to and fro on this earth for men and women who are totally sold out to Him. No personal agendas, no self-seeking plans, no alternate routes of escape.
But the Ultimate non self seeking person is JESUS CHRIST. He served mankind, He became a servant, comforter, healer, teacher, provider, friend and ultimate sacrifice.
He took the whole earths weight of sin upon himself. He did this while he was sinless although He was tempted like us all;but under a lot more severe circumstances. He experienced more physical, emotional, and spiritual pain than any other person ever has and He did it for you and for me. See my Easter message. He was completely selfless and lived and died to serve mankind not just in this life but for eternal life. That’s a person who isn’t just thinking of now or next week or next year for you and everyone else, this is eternity we are talking about. Forever and ever and ever.
This man beautiful Jesus Christ did all this; yet people can’t be bothered to give a smile to the guy sitting without any money on the street. It costs nothing to be kind, thoughtful, good, sincere, caring, loving. Those acts of love go along way for a person who has been through such terrible things. Its not there fault! Or for example: because of you own issues with yourself you cant bring yourself to smile to the person who sits on their own at church or at work or where ever. That person may well need that smile more than you could ever know, they may well have been through things you could never endure. Hardship beyond your wildest dreams but because you are so wrapt up with yourself, and you feel you are too important to smile and give a bit of love; love is not being spread as it should. This grieves me, and I can boldly say this grieves The Father too.

Those types of acts of love go a long way I mean a really long way. That’s the power of love and that’s why the devil is keeping people from doing something so easy and free as a smile. These types of things matter a lot to God, yet people just brush past it and make excuses. There is no excuse period. It costs nothing to smile, all you are doing is moving your mouth to a position? Yet many people are too special and self absorbed to even do that. This is self seeking. Self absorbed. Selfish.
　
The Apostle Paul told the church at Corinth that God has appointed certain people certain gifts some more than others; but even if you have gifts from God in the church, be it through healings, speaking in tongues or many of the others gifts Non is higher than guess what? LOVE. They will be of no use! LOVE is the most powerful Gift and Force. It’s a gift God gave you! His LOVE. Use it, Get to know how to use it, He will help you.


In the Amplified Bible 1 Corinthians 12:31 says “ But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces.
And yet I will show you a still more excellent way ( the one that is better by far and the highest of them all - Love)”
　
A more excellent way… More than gift like the working of miracles? Oh yes. LOVE.
Better by far and the highest of them all (gifts). Yes LOVE.

So even though we are to desire ( which is a strong attaining) and zealously ( diligently) cultivate ( prepare and use) the greatest and best gift and graces ( given by God) There is a more excellent (outstanding quality or superior merit) way. Love is THE WAY. Jesus is THE WAY. And was called this before the name Christianity came in.

Thankfully we have many preachers and teachers who do operate in love, but sadly there are many that are false teachers infiltrating the church also. This is another subject for another time. That’s why in a previous blog I shared its important to find a good church that preaches and teaches only the word of God and not their own idea. The bible is very clear on this and we will look at this when the time is right.

The opposite of self seeking is- self giving, self sacrificing.
Self seeking is taking you away from God where as the other two are bringing you closer to him and in doing so helping to world also.

Lets have a look at what God and his word says about self seeking, self giving and self sacrifice:

Proverbs 28:27 “He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.”


Psalm 119:36 “Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain“.

James 3:13-18 “ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that His works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your hearts. Do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above (heaven) but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self seeking exist, confusion and every evil are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace”.
　
1 John 3:18-23 “ My little children, let us not love in word and tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are in truth and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our hearts condemns us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us we have confidence towards God.”

Lets see what Jesus said a few days before He was crucified to His disciples, He was preparing them for when he would no longer be with them in the earthly body. He was showing them of His return, which is close. The bible has proven over and over by prophecy given regards the signs before his coming. They have been happening for many years now and there is not long to go.

Luke 21:7-18
“So they asked Him saying “teacher, but when will theses things be? And what signs will there be when theses things are about to take place?” And He said “ Take heed that you are not deceived. For Many will come in my name saying I am He, and, The time has drawn near. Therefore do not go after them. BUT when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for theses things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately Then He said to them. “ Nation will rise against nation. Kingdom against Kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences ( disease) and there will be fearful sight and great signs from heaven.”
What has been happening in the world lately? Exactly that! Earthquakes, disease, war.
“But before all these things, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for my names sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate before hand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict and resist. You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated for all my names sake. But not a hair of you head shall be lost, by your patience possess your souls” Amen!

This is what the disciples and people who devote their lives to serve mankind have had to go through. Jesus said it would happen and it does happen. These types of people are not self seeking, but instead are like Jesus Selfless. Not wanting anything in return other than for you to know the truth and live a good life in truth here now. But also their concern and love for you see’s well past this life looking towards the next. Your eternal life.
This is going to happen as scripture says
Anyone who does not believe it doesn’t alter the FACT its going to a happen.

Matthew 25:31-46

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed of my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
Then he will say to those on his left, "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not cloth me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."
They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?"
He will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."
Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. “

09/04/2011 Weekend Message.... Recieve the gift of Love!

Have a blessed weekend!

I would like to share a little about Gods Character, His personality, His whole being.
He is LOVE.

When people hear the word love, they automatically think its that feeling you get when you meet someone you want to share your life with or how you feel for your partner. You think about how you feel towards a family member and difine love as this. LOVE is so much deeper than feelings. LOVE is who God is.

There are Four types of Love: In the bible three types of love are mentioned. The words for the types of love come from the Greek Language.

Agape - This is God's Love it is unconditional, continual, no matter what!      
            John 3:16  Psalm 107:1

Eros -    Love that a man and wife would share (human love) sexual love and affection.
               Genesis 2:24

Philio-  Love for your children- Brotherly love  and love for your country.
           1 Peter 1:22 and 2 Peter 1:7,


1 Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."

Love is patient - God never gives up on you. He is willing to wait years for you to finally acknowledge Him. He is always in the background waiting for you even when you are deliberately doing wrong. His patience is something the world knows little about. When you except Jesus into your life and seek God and your meaning here on this earth. One of the free gifts God gives you is his Patience. What a gift to have! His supernatural patience.
I can tell you from experience that this is such a blessing when you are waiting for breakthrough in certain areas in your life. You recieve such peace and the ability to hold out in any circumstance with assurance that all is exactly where it is supposed to be and that God is in Control!
Jesus said:

Romans 8:25

"But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience".

Psalm 40:1
"I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined His ear to me and heard my cry."

John 14:27   "Peace I leave with you, Peace I give unto you.


Love is Kind - Kindness is part of Gods wonderful Character, It costs nothing to be kind to others and this world. Kindness is a beautiful gift to give to others. That act of kindness might just be the one and only thing that a person needs to stop them going over the edge!. God requires you to be kind to others. People need this as they face what the world brings to them. Try and see the bigger picture. When you walk in Kindness, the joy it brings is just beautiful. Joy is a powerful tool that God has given us in order to live well here on this earth. Joy brings strength. His strength in any situation. Try it and see the rewards it brings.

Galatians 5:22-23
" But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

Colossians 3:11-13
" Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Joel 2:13
 "Turn to the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness"

Love does not envy - Envy is bitterness, The word itself says alot; BITTERNESS. If you are bitter in the inside, you will be bitter on the outside and to others. This is satans character not Gods.
Be happy for others for they have there own cross to bear. Don't envy how they are, what they look like, what they can do, what they have. You are unique. God created you so special to him and to the world. Don't let satan take that away from you and give you bitterness instead! Envy will breed to other things and you will be taken over by evil emotions and attitudes. Once you realise that Love is the most powerful force given by God as He is LOVE, then walking in it and using love brings such results. Its obliterates darkness!
However you do have a free will, that is the beauty of God and who He is LOVE.
He would never force you to do anything, so you have a choice. A wise person would choice wisely and walk in Love. Envy will destroy you eventually. James 3:16

Now read James 3:17 " But the wisdom that is peaceable is from above, gentle and EASY to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits ( what is produced and attained) without Partiality ( all of us mean as much to him as one another, He does not love one more than the other) and without hypocrisy ( walking the walk not just talking the talk).


James 3:16
That is not what God intends for you. You must find out what God says about you. How He sees you. Who He says you are! Instead of feeling jealous, unworthy, inadequate to the next person and the world. If you see someone being blessed or succeeding be happy for them. If someone is good looking and you have felt down about how you look, don't blame them and cause strife, don't hate them. They don't deserve that! See yourself as God sees you. Get to know him, you will find that the lie satan has created and put on you, makes you feel inadequate and down on self. You will find that it will have disappeared if you have learnt all that God shares in His word. Don't envy or think ill of others, you are feeding evil into the world, your body and self.  Its POISON and will destroy you and your life but also other peoples lives including childrens and that is NOT ON! 
Jesus said:
Mathew 18:1

"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven."

 If you are envious of a person because of what they have achieved or what they have, read Gods word. You would find out that you can achieve success and have what you desire to!!!! God wants this for you. Satan doesn't.

" If you can, ALL things are Possible to those that believe "

 it says in Mark 9:23!

Focus on your goal instead of envying and sowing evil. See yourself as God sees you. Read what God has given you in the bible in order to achieve it. Its that easy!!!!

No one is Perfect. Until You become perfect In Christ as scripture says in Mathew 5:48

 "Mark 9:23 "If you can, ALL things are possible to those that believe"   

 (You have a choice to believe or to think badly). Choose well!


Love does not Boast - Boast definition in the English dictionary: To glorify oneself in speech - talk in a self admiring way. To speak of with excessive pride
Anyone who boasts about what they have, who they are, what they do or have done etc is full of pride!

You will see in the bible in Ezekiel 28:12-19 that satan was full of pride and that is how the beautiful Cherubim Angel dressed in beauty and jewels fell. That is how satan/devil known as Lucifer meaning ( morning star ) was banished from Heaven and Gods presence.

Since God is love, He could not have pride and envy around Him: it defiled the sanctuary of Gods presence and holiness.  Habbakuk 1:13
Satan had a choice, he chose to ignore all that God had already given him and the blessing he was to be. Instead He wants to be worshipped, He wants to be God. ( something he will never be)
He didn't want to do as he was supposed to, He was very beautiful scripture says and He corrupted the wisdom given. He didn't want to serve God, satan had the job of serving as a personal guardian to Gods presence and Holiness. See Ezekiel 28:14-17.
Wow to be in Gods presence and pure love. How could anyone even a Cherubim choose pride and evil over such beauty and pure love?
God is a good God - He gives all mankind and His Angels the free will to choose. He doesn't force anyone to do anything. So if you ever get pressure from anything instead of peace you know its not from GOD!

Satan ( the devil) is winning in your life if you are boastful, full of pride and envy towards people or anything in your life or others.
He wants you to be in pride and envy just like him; so that He (the devil) can gain more entry into your life to "Steal,  to Kill and to Destroy" as the scripture says in John 10:10.
(He stole so much from me, tried to kill me with a serious illness and tried to destroy me too! Praise God, that Father had my back! He straightened everything out for me.
 Only due to me making changes, being willing,  being corrected, studying His word, building a strong foundation and personal relationship with him through the tools given in scripture.
They are: The name of Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, Prayer, Worship, Study, Trusting Him and His word the bible. It has been best thing I have ever done.  Im happier and loving life more than words could express.  Its my true life, the one God had planned for me before I was born. He has your life planned out, mapped out before you were born too that will never change;

In Romans 8:9 it says:

"Your gifts and  calling is without repentance " ( meaning before you were born you were destined to fellowship with God in some way. You were destined should you choose to  walk in your calling. Even if you don't chose to, your gifts and calling are irrevocable.. You cant give them back, they don't get taken away). However God still gives you the choice!  Some have more gift's and calls more than others, everyone is different. Everyone unique, everyone prescious and very special in Gods and Jesus Christ's eye. Its up to you once you are told the truth to actually do something about it. Enjoy your life here on the earth, receive His love, support, blessings, wisdom, success, power, health and truth.

You don't want the devil operating in your life. Instead you should be filled with the Holy Spirit and have Gods spirit operating for you, just as You where created too!

1John 4:15
"Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God".


Having envy, pride, and boasting operating in your life would cause a block in the workings of God in your life. You are feeding satan and his character would be operating on you. Harsh words; they aren't mine but Gods. God is sharing this for a very good reason its so easy to follow God and not get into envy, pride, boastfullness ( stepping out of LOVE) by giving everything to him.

Those feelings are not yours to own, you do not have to carry that around with you. So you can be free from envy and pride and receive Gods free gift of LOVE and power instead. Choose wisely!

Don't boast, be a men pleaser or have the need for praise. Your Father in heaven sees what you are doing. He will reward you not man. Jesus said this! Search Scripture to find this!!! Instead Be HUMBLE.

HUMILITY is the opposite of Boasting - Humility is Gods character:
Humble in the English Bible means: "Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful".
LOVE is so much more powerful than boasting. Walk in LOVE, be humble, you are winning if you do.

Lets read What paul say what HE WILL BOAST IN! 
HIS WEAKNESSES Thats Humility. Not what hes acomplished But whats hes gone through His hardships His Infirmities His attacks those he boast in WHY?
Because Christ Power is made perefct when we are weak, it is clear that GOD does the work then not us.. How can we ever over come things like that supernateral forces up against us.. Principalties Powers.. Only God can get us through stuff like that. 
BOAST IN THESE BELOVED we overcome by the BLOOD of the LAMB and the WORD of our TESTIMONY do not have anyone ever let you say you are dwelling on past or moaning about it. oh no... you use your tesimonies as a Mighty talk of VICTORY . BOAST IN THESE! The enemy hates Victory and hates testimonies , hates being reminded of defeat aswell! Boasting in this way GIVES GLORY TO LORD ALL OVER AGAIN! 

PLEASE READ 2 CORINTHIANS 11 first..before proceeding Thank you 

 2 Corinthians 12 This boasting will do no good, but I must go on. I will reluctantly tell about visions and revelations from the Lord. ² I^] was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether I was in my body or out of my body, I don’t know—only God knows. ³ Yes, only God knows whether I was in my body or outside my body. But I do know ⁴ that I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words, things no human is allowed to tell.
⁵ That experience is worth boasting about, but I’m not going to do it. I will boast only about my weaknesses. ⁶ If I wanted to boast, I would be no fool in doing so, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t do it, because I don’t want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message, ⁷ even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.
⁸ Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. ⁹ Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ¹⁰ That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Boast in your weaknesses!

God's love was and still is so powerful for us that He sent His only son back to the earth as it says in:

John 3:16 " For God so Loved the world He gave His only begotten son, That who so ever should believe on Him should not perish but have eternal life"
So not only was Jesus born into the world with a mission from birth on His hands. He was to lead a separate holy life unlike other people and to carry out what His mission was. This was to save mankind from the curse ( the fall ) Read Genesis 3 . Jesus Healed ALL who were oppressed of the devil.  (Search The gospels you will see this!) And most importantly, When Jesus Christ died on the cross a sinless man even though He could have sinned, He went to the cross  (by choice). Jesus Christ could have called myriads of Angels to free him at any point but didn't. With this Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophecies of the Old Testament... theses were given of a period of 2000 year previous.  In doing so, Jesus Christ regained authority from satan over mankind and freed us from the curse and satans clutches should you chose to follow him and turn you life around from darkness to light.

Anyone who excepts Jesus Christ for doing this, who confesses with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord asks for forgiveness and asks Jesus into their heart is saved.
see Romans 10:9!
Saved from what? Like I said Saved from cursed world,  you are given ALL authority over dark forces, much power and most importantly; You are sealed with the free gift of the Holy Spirit.

 1 John 4:15
" Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God."

 This is a mark of Protection and when you pass on/die, you being a spirit being as man was created in Genesis. Instead of going to Hell you are saved to receive eternal salvation with God in heaven. Again just as you were created to, satan deceived and stole this right from you back in Genesis 1 , 2, and chapters 3


THIS IS GODS LOVE FOR YOU......


This is the scripture we are studying,

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."
Gods love is out there... it always has been.

The Holy Ghost and the right people make sure you get to know about it! Its their Job! The world has been under huge deception from satan.The world is crying out because of the weight of evil and sin. ( earthquakes floods etc ) This was prophesied over and over many times in the bible it is happening now! Luke 21:11


Every goes right back to the BEGINNING IN GENESIS and the Fall of Lucifer and then Fall of mankind. 
I have Great news for you JESUS over came the devil the world and the Flesh. for God was with Him. John 16;33 Acts 10:38 1 John 5:14

God is a GOOD - Anything God comes from him. Security, Success in ALL things, Doctors/nurses. Police, Carers, Counsellors, Minsters etc. Success in LIFE, Spiritual Power, Knowledge and Truth, Health, Love, Peace, Happiness.

Satan is BAD -Anything bad comes from Him.Childmurderers, rapists, drug addicts, domestic violence, eating disorders, envy, bitterness, insecurity stem from satans character and man chooses to be this by His free will.

We have a :-
  

 CARNAL -FLESH - Our own Body can sumbit to either GOD GOODNESS His spirit OR SATAN BADNESS

PSYCHE GREEK WORD PSUCHE- SOUL- Our MIND WILL EMOTIONS can be influenced by either Gods spirit through HIS WORD His Precense and surrendering to Him. CHRIST CRUCIFIED in us.
Or we can be influenced by satan and his demons in mind will and emotion.s

EMOTIONS ARE TEMPORAL subject to Change
EMOTIONS can be deceptive. 
WE MUST Let God be PILOT HIS SPIRIT RULE LEAD GUIDE REIGN and dethrone satan and his seed at all cost in our old dallen nature FLESH
That MUST DIE DAILY. Paul said i die daily!
 KEEP OUT the outside influences and stay close to the FATHER in order to stay vigilant as the advsary the lion is out there seeking who he may devour notice it is whom? he looks for an opening? 
Mind will emotions or flesh GIVES THAT OPENING (WINDOW DOOR) keep your eyes ears speech clean. away from darkness They are gateways
Also outside others do alignments becareful who you alignh with beloved 

LOVE is the GREATEST FORCE given by God LOVE IS A SPIRIT we host Him as Born again believers it is not merely an emotion, and expression, a word that can be thrown about and later taken back! man behaves like that...... GODS LOVE, WHO HE IS is UNCONDITIONAL and as SPIRIT FILLED BELIEVER we are to WALK in that love Not be partial. We are to walk in the SPIRIT 
Not operate in FLESH envy Pride, both of those are Flesh. and both are Spirits. you have a two fold application there to work with... with Father
Operating in partial love Giving to one person and not another Giving love and witholding from another  to make a point i dont like you or i dont think you desreve it is not opetaing outy of God slove but your own and that is FLESH!
Exclusion is actually witchcraft/ Excluded people letting them know they are not included is witchcraft! 
Its of the Flesh it is Carnal not spirit filled Christian #

We must get past our own Views of what we think people deserve and act as God says we are to act no partiality just because you dont like that person because they threaten you.
Kindness is something that is in you from the Lord

People cannot be Kind to some and not others...
KINDNESS was a Charcteristic that Jesus had and displayed for everyone. 
You cannot pick and choose who to be kind with and leave others out! This is not walking in the spirit. 

You may say well jesus wasnt Kind when he spoke to the Pharisees they actually where not of Gods seed. ( he didnt pacify demons)
Jesus said that He said you are of your father the devil. There are two seeds in this world. One is Gods the other is satans and the battles is between the two when they come into contact there wil be manifestion of the spirits operating behind it by how people are treated. what is said about them? The list goes on. 
God is watching everything He sees it all. 
We all must keep a very short account with Father. after all what you do to another person or say about them you do to HIM>
 I pray that you are awakened in the name of Jesus Christ and that your eyes are opened and spiritual scales taken off. That we all have the motivation to live in truth not deception That LOVE OVER TAKES and Rules the carnal man and soul and God truly can say Your are truly SPIRIT FILLED.
Many will say Father didnt we prophesy in your name cast out devils... he said depart from me you who practise LAWLESSNESS I do not know you! MATHEW 7:21-23

Lawlessness is a rejection of God. Satan, who models the ultimate rejection of God, will one day empower the Antichrist, called “the lawless one,” whose rise to power “will be in accordance with how Satan works” (2 Thessalonians 2:9).


 Let us stay in Love without it your a Clanging cymbal. ( doing the works yourself) Your own empire God will not share his Glory with anyone... Amen 
Jesus paid the ultimate price for us.. Its just a case of SURRENDER your way!


Take heed to this beloved......

In Jesus Christ Mighty and Holy Name, Amen. 

We will continue with this scripture 1 Corinthians 13 next weekend!

Are you ready for the truth?


God Bless you and He Loves you
