Come to all, Jesus Part VI

Dear Israel and the Nations,

I am compelled to introduce you to the fertile soil of His divine presence and the boundless love of our Lord Jesus Christ. In our existence, our True Leader is profound, always accompanying us on the winding paths of life. As we step into His divine presence, we are reminded of the words from 1 John 4:18 (NIV): "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." Here, we find solace and reassurance, understanding that in His perfect love, fear dissipates, and we are made complete.

Our True Leader beckons us to embrace His guidance and love, promising to be with us in every step. He is the Author of our stories, weaving each thread with purpose and intention. As we yield to His leadership, we discover a source of strength that transcends understanding and a love that knows no bounds.

Let us also be mindful of Proverbs 20:12 (NIRV): "The Lord has made two things. He has made ears that hear. He has also made eyes that see." In this profound truth, we recognize the importance of perceiving not only with our physical senses but with spiritual discernment. Our True Leader equips us with the ability to hear His voice and see His hand at work, guiding us in the paths of righteousness.

As we journey together, let us guard against the subtlety of veiled comments, a practice that veils true intentions in ambiguous language. Instead, let our communication be characterized by clarity, transparency, and the light of truth that emanates from the Word of the Lord. As we delve into the fertile soil of His divine presence and the boundless love of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us also explore the transformative power emanating from His Word.

In our journey, we encounter the Son, Jesus, our Leader, whose depths of wisdom and understanding are beyond measure. Proverbs 22:12 (NIV) reminds us that "The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful." In place of self-promotion, let us learn from our Leader, who values true knowledge and integrity, frustrating the deceptive words of those who stray from faithfulness.

As we navigate the intricate paths of life, let the teachings of Proverbs 16:2 (NIV) resonate within us: "All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord." Instead of succumbing to the illusion of appearances versus reality, let our motives align with the purity found in God's truth, recognizing that our Lord weighs the sincerity of our hearts.

The LORD, the source of infinite Power, whispers love that keeps our spirits alive. Psalm 94:9 (NIV) questions, "Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?" In contrast to blame-shifting, let us anchor ourselves in the omnipotence of the LORD, acknowledging that He hears our every prayer and sees the depth of our hearts.

Together, let us walk in the wisdom of our Leader, embracing knowledge, integrity, and the profound love that the LORD whispers into our souls. May the transformative power of His Word guide our interactions, dispelling illusions, and keeping our motives pure in the light of His truth.

As we deepen our understanding of His wisdom and love, let us explore further the transformative power emanating from His Word. Proverbs 20:12 reminds us, "'Ears to hear" (whoever has ears)—"both are gifts from the LORD.'" In the weight of this information, let us cherish the gift of hearing bestowed upon us by our Lord Jesus Christ, the all-knowing God of All Hope, who accompanies us in every season of our lives.

"Why are you still struggling, I've already taken it from you?" echoes the sentiment of Proverbs 15:3 (NIV): "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good." In contrast to manipulative behavior, let us rest in the assurance that the all-seeing eyes of our Lord are vigilant, offering comfort and justice. He is aware of our struggles, and His watchful gaze brings peace.

2 Chronicles 16:9a (NIV) reassures us further: "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." Instead of undermining competitors, let us focus on the strength derived from our commitment to the Lord. His eyes scan the earth, ready to strengthen those who remain steadfast in their devotion.

Together, let us embrace the gifts of hearing, knowing that our Lord accompanies us with His wisdom and hope. May His watchful eyes inspire us to navigate challenges with integrity, free from the weight of manipulation or the need to undermine others. In His presence, we find strength, and in His love, we discover the true meaning of unity. In the weight of Proverbs 20:12, "'Eyes to see" (eyes that see)—"both are gifts from the LORD,"' let us cherish the gift of sight bestowed upon us by our Lord Jesus Christ, the all-knowing God of Flesh who uplifts us in every circumstance.

"Can I become like you now?" and "Can I go meet Him, now?" echo the yearning of hearts eager to draw near to the source of all power, love, and self-discipline. These questions find resonance in 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV): "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid but gives us power, love, and self-discipline." In place of withholding information, let us lean on the Spirit's power, embracing love and self-discipline as we navigate the paths of life.

1 Samuel 2:3 cautions against speaking proudly or arrogantly, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by Him deeds are weighed. Instead of concealing biases, let us be transparent before the all-knowing God, acknowledging our imperfections and seeking His guidance to overcome biases that may hinder our interactions with others.

May the gifts of sight and insight from the LORD inspire us to emulate Christ Jesus, finding strength in His power, embracing His love, and practicing self-discipline. As we journey together, let our hearts be open before the all-knowing God, who weighs our deeds and guides us in the paths of righteousness.

May the fertile soil of His grace nurture our spirits, and may the love of our True Leader be a beacon in our interactions. Together, let us walk in the assurance of His presence, leaning on the wisdom of His Word, and sharing the transformative power of His love with the world.

Grace and peace be unto you in the profound name of our Lord God Almighty, the True Leader, Author, and Finisher of all things. As we embark on this journey together, let us explore the fertile soil of His divine wisdom and love.

"No fear, only love" resonates from the words of 1 John 4:18 (NIV): "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." Our True Author, Christ our Lord, guides us in love, urging us to cast away fear and embrace the perfection found in His love.

Proverbs 16:2 warns us, "All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord." Instead of falling into the trap of false justification, let us seek purity in motives, allowing the Lord to examine our hearts and guide our actions.

The prophecies against Moab in Isaiah 15-16 serve as cautionary tales, highlighting sins such as arrogance, pride, and idolatry. Temptations to trust in material wealth, rely on false gods, and harbor arrogance must be met with steadfast adherence to God's commands.

Asherah, the goddess of fertility and motherhood, led the Israelites astray. Judges 3:7 (NIV) recounts, "The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs." Let this be a solemn reminder to guard against cultural mindsets that lead us away from God's truth.

In the journey of faith, where the fear of the Lord is the bedrock of wisdom and belief in Jesus is the gateway to eternal life, we find assurance in the words, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13). The fear of the Lord becomes the wellspring of wisdom, leading us to understand that true strength is found in dependence on Him. In this letter, we delve deeper into the aspects of Self-Discipline guided by the Holy Spirit, our Finisher.

The Starry Host, representing Self-Discipline, calls us to have faith and allows the path to be illuminated. As we believe in Jesus, the Light of the world, we find our way guided by His divine presence. The Holy Spirit, our Finisher, delivers us from the temptations and challenges that seek to distract us from the path of self-discipline.

Matthew 13:16 (NIV) beautifully captures the essence of seeking divine insight: "But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear." In our journey, seeking the Lord's help is pivotal. Proverbs 9:10 (NIV) reminds us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, emphasizing the foundational role of divine wisdom in our lives.

The connection between the fear of the Lord and wisdom finds its counterpart in John 3:16 (NIV): "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Believing in Jesus is intricately tied to the promise of eternal life, reinforcing the concept that through the fear of the Lord and faith in Jesus, we gain the strength to navigate life's challenges and receive the promised gift of eternal life.

Numbers 6:24-26 (NIV), known as the Priestly Blessing, resonates as a timeless expression of God's favor, grace, and peace upon His people. "May the Lord bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, turn His face toward you, and give you peace."

In the quest for the right path, we are reminded of the weighty truth in Proverbs 20:12: '"Ears to hear" (whoever has ears)— "both are gifts from the LORD"'. Our Christ, the All-Seeing God of All Comfort, offers guidance even to the young man asking, "Why am I not on the right path?" Through the lens of divine wisdom, we gain clarity and understanding.

John 11:25-26 (NIV) brings forth the assurance that belief in Jesus transcends physical life and ushers believers into eternal life. Acts 10:34-35 (NIV) echoes the acceptance of those who fear the Lord and do what is right, emphasizing the connection between the fear of the Lord and divine acceptance. Revelation 14:6-7 (NIV) reinforces the eternal call to fear God as an integral part of the gospel message.

Flowing in Love, as directed by heaven, finds its expression in 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV): "Do everything in love." Seeking the Lord's help is pivotal in cultivating a heart filled with love, enabling believers to express love in all aspects of their lives. As we delve into the profound guidance found in divine insight and the eternal promises of His Word, let us explore the significance of "Eyes to see (eyes that see)"— "both are gifts from the LORD" (Proverbs 20:12).

In moments of unawareness, when we may say, "It’s okay you didn't know any better!" (Papa God), we find solace in the truth that the Christ, the All-Seeing God of All Comfort, offers guidance even in our lack of knowledge. Self-discipline, a virtue crucial for believers to exercise control over their thoughts, actions, and responses to life's challenges, is nurtured through the help of the Lord. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) affirms that the Spirit God gives us empowers us with love and self-discipline.

Psalm 91:11-12 (NIV) assures believers of the protective role of angels, indicating their involvement in guarding against harm. Hebrews 1:14 (NIV) describes angels as ministering spirits sent by God to serve believers, emphasizing their role in providing support and assistance. Daniel 10:12-13 (NIV) provides insight into the spiritual realm, revealing the battles that take place and the angelic intervention against spiritual opposition.

May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the All-Seeing God of All Comfort, be upon you as we explore the profound guidance offered through divine insight and the eternal promises in His Word. In the vast expanse of eternity, our Father God, the Author, reveals the depths of His love—a love so perfect that it casts out all fear, for fear has to do with punishment, and in His love, there is only mercy and grace. The journey into the heart of His love encompasses the fullness of width and breadth, reaching from the heights of Heaven to the depths of the soul.

In our quest for purpose, the Word of the Lord becomes our guiding light. The Lord God Almighty, the all-powerful God of Peace, prepares us with truth, righteousness, the Gospel, faith, the hope of our salvation, the Word of God, and prayer. With the Full Armor of God, we are equipped to stand firm, knowing that He is the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega, our Beginning and our End.

As we step into the Shoes of Peace, may the gospel of peace guide our every step. The Belt of Truth, buckled around our waist, guards against deception, and with the Helmet of Salvation, we protect our minds against doubt and spiritual attacks. These words urge us to live our lives with a deep sense of mindfulness and intentionality. Let's unpack the significance of this verse in the context of Self-Discipline, we are anchored in the Truth and Righteousness of God. In our journey of faith, perception is not merely about seeing with our physical eyes; it's about perceiving with the eyes of our hearts, guided by the eternal truths found in God's Word. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Colossians, encourages believers to be aware of the profound impact of their words and deeds.

"Whatever you do, whether in word or deed..." (Colossians 3:17) implies a comprehensive scope. Our actions and our words, big or small, mundane or significant—all fall within the purview of this verse. This universality challenges us to bring every aspect of our lives under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

This brings us to the essence of Self-Discipline. Discipline is often misunderstood as a rigid set of rules or restrictions. However, when rooted in the Truth and Righteousness of God, discipline becomes a liberating force. The Truth, as revealed in God's Word, becomes our guide, shaping our decisions and actions.

The Apostle Paul, in another letter to the Corinthians, highlights the transformative power of God's Truth: "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4, ESV). This divine power is the truth that sets us free, enabling us to exercise self-discipline that aligns with God's righteousness.

To do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus is to acknowledge His lordship over our lives. It means inviting Him into every decision, every conversation, and every moment. It's an invitation for His guidance, His wisdom, and His transformative power to be at work in us.

As we journey through life, may our actions and words be a reflection of the Truth and Righteousness of God. May self-discipline, empowered by the Spirit, characterize our every endeavor. Let us walk in the freedom that comes from aligning our lives with the eternal truths found in Jesus Christ.

The Shield of Faith extinguishes every flaming arrow of the evil one, strengthened through the Lord's assistance. The Sword of the Lord, the living and active Word of God, penetrates to the core, discerning thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Recognizing the power and authority vested in the name of Jesus is a cornerstone of our faith. When we acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we tap into a wellspring of strength and empowerment. Let's explore how this truth relates to "My Lord"- Christ Jesus, these two words encapsulate the essence of our faith journey. Christ, our Lord, is not a distant figure but an ever-present source of strength and encouragement. In Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV), Jesus Himself invites us: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." The power to lift us up, to provide rest and peace, is found in Christ Jesus.

The process of learning is intertwined with the transformative power of the Gospel and faith. The Gospel is the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, and faith is the key that unlocks the power contained in this message. Romans 1:16 (NIV) declares, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes." Our faith, grounded in the Gospel, opens the floodgates to the divine power of God.

"...do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus..." (Colossians 3:17). This is an invitation to align every aspect of our lives with the authority and lordship of Jesus. The name of Jesus is not merely a label; it represents His character, His promises, and His authority. Philippians 2:9-11 (NIV) beautifully captures the exalted nature of His name: "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Recognizing the power and authority in the name of Jesus, we draw strength from Him. When we undertake every endeavor, make decisions, and engage in our daily activities, it's an acknowledgment that we do so under the lordship of Jesus Christ. This recognition anchors our actions and decisions in the Gospel and faith, ensuring that the transformative power of Christ permeates every aspect of our lives.

Wrapped in the Breastplate of Righteousness, we stand firm in the righteousness bestowed upon us by our Lord. The Cloak of Zeal envelops us, and with the Lord's help, we maintain spiritual fervor, serving Him with passion and enthusiasm. Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As we continue our exploration of the profound truths embedded in the Scriptures, I want to reflect on Colossians 3:17 and its implications for our journey—specifically, how the Lord God Almighty prepares us and leads us in the flow of love, grounded in the Word of God and filled with hope.

Before we embark on any journey, it is crucial to acknowledge that the Lord, in His almighty wisdom, goes before us, preparing the way. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) assures us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." As we trust in the Lord's preparation, we can be confident that our steps are guided by His divine plan.

The flow of love is intrinsic to the nature of God, and the Word of God is the river from which this love springs forth. 1 John 4:8 (NIV) beautifully declares, "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." Our journey, guided by the Word of God, is an expedition through the river of God's love. This love, expressed through Jesus Christ, becomes the anchor of our hope. Romans 15:13 (NIV) encapsulates this sentiment: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Expressing gratitude is a key aspect of our journey. By giving thanks to God the Father through Jesus, we acknowledge His love, grace, and providence. The act of thanksgiving is an antidote to fear, as it redirects our focus from our circumstances to the faithfulness of God. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) encourages us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

In our journey through the fertile soil of God's grace, we must be vigilant against the spirit of fear. This spirit can manifest as anxiety, doubt, and a distorted view of God. Proverbs 22:12 (NIV) reminds us that the eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, and He frustrates the words of the unfaithful. Armed with the knowledge of God's truth, we can trust that the Lord intervenes on our behalf.

May the perfect love that casts out fear be our guiding light. Let us be rooted in the truth, empowered by faith, and anchored in the hope of God's promises. As we express gratitude to God the Father through Jesus, may the flow of His love propel us forward in the journey He has prepared for us. In surrendering our journey into His hands, we trust that the Lord Jesus Christ, the True Leader, Author, and Finisher of our faith, will nurture the seeds of hope planted in the fertile soil of His grace. In closing, I surrender their journey into Your hands, trusting that You, O Lord, are the Leader, Author and Finisher of our faith. May this prayer be a seed of hope, planted in the fertile soil of Your grace. In Jesus’ Amen.
