Revelation 2:4 NKJV
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
THE EPHESIAN CHURCH WAS COMMENDED FOR MANY THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST. THEY TESTED AND EXPOSED FALSE APOSTLES, PERSEVERED WITH PATIENCE, AND LABORED FOR THE NAME OF JESUS.
BUT THEY LEFT THEIR FIRST LOVE…..THE LOVE THEY HAD FOR FATHER GOD, FOR JESUS. FOR EACH OTHER.
NOTHING MENT ANYTHING TO JESUS WITHOUT THE LOVE.
AS WE SEE, IT WAS THE LOVE HE IS SEEKING AFTER.
1 John 4:16 NKJV
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
John 3:16 NKJV
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
GOD’S WHOLE MOTIVATION IS HIS LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND. GOD IS LOVE. JESUS IS GOD’S LOVE FOR US. TO SAVE US. TO HEAL US. TO HELP US
1 Timothy 1:5 NKJV
Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,
PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THEIR TEACHING ABOUT JESUS CHRIST IS TO PRODUCE IN THE HEART OF THE BELIEVERS…..
LOVE FROM A PURE HEART
A GOOD CONSCIENCE
SINCERE FAITH
Romans 13:10 NKJV
Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.
LOVE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF EVERYTHING GOD HAS BEEN WANTING FOR YOU IN YOUR FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIPS.
GOD WANTS US TO LOVE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS “IN CHRIST”.
HE WANTS US TO LOVE OUR NIEGHBOR.
HE WANTS US TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES.
YOUR FAMILY IS THE PLACE YOU ARE TO GIVE LOVE.
HUSBANDS AND WIFE ARE TO LOVE EACH OTHER.
PARENTS LOVE YOUR CHILDREN.
CHILDREN LOVE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.
LOVE NEVER FAILS. IT WILL REMAIN FOREVER. HATE WILL FALL UNDER THE FEET OF JESUS CHRIST. GOD IS LOVE!
Mathew 7:24-29 NKJV
“Therefore whoever hears THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock; and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock”
“But everyone who hears THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand;
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was it’s fall.”
And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
PLEASE READ
Matthew 5:1 through 7:29
*** HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO DO THE SAYINGS OF JESUS? ***
*** HE SPELLS IT OUT IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT…..HIS TEACHING PLAIN AND SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND…..WRITTEN IN RED IN YOUR BIBLE. ***
*** JESUS SAYS, IF YOU LOVE ME YOU WILL KEEP MY COMANDMENTS. ***
*** JESUS SAYS, WHY DO YOU CALL ME LORD, LORD, AND DON’T DO WHAT I
SAY? ***
*** WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE FOOLISH AND BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE SAND? **
*** HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE. ***
*** HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS AND SAYS WHAT HE MEANS. ***
*** JESUS EXPECTS HIS TEACHING TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. ***
*** HE WANTS US TO DO WHAT HE
SAYS. ***
*** HE WANTS YOU TO BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE ROCK. ***
*** HE TEACHES US WITH AUTHORITY, BECAUSE HE IS THE AUTHORITY. ***
*** MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO FOLLOW JESUS, AND OBEY HIS SAYINGS. ***
*** JESUS SAYS….
“IF YOU ABIDE IN ME AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU WILL AND IT SHALL DO DONE. ***
*** IF YOU LOVE HIM, YOU WILL KEEP HIS COMANDMENTS. ***
Micah 6:8
NKJV
He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord of you
But to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
* WE NEED JESUS CHRIST LIVING IN OUR HEARTS TO DO ANY OF THIS. *
* FATHER GOD WANTS JUSTICE ON THE EARTH FOR THOSE WHO ARE
OPPRESSED. *
* GOD IS LOOKING FOR THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED TO COME UP AND SIT AT THE TABLE. *
* THE FILTHY RICH AND POWERFUL NEED TO UNDERSTANT THAT RICHES AND POWER
DO NOT EQUAL RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH GOD. *
* GOD WILL TURN THE TABLES ON THIS LAKE OF JUSTICE FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF SOCIETY. *
* THIS MUST TAKE PLACE FIRST IN GOD’S
CHURCH! *
* WHY SHOULD SOME HAVE ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES, FINANCES, AND THEY HINDER THOSE STRUGGLING TO GET BY FROM THEIR JUSTICE? *
* THIS MUST TAKE PLACE IN THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD FIRST. *
* THIS IS NOT PLEASING OR ACCEPTABLE AT ALL TO OUR LORD! *
* THOSE WHO HAVE RESOURCES TO FIX THIS MESS , I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. WHAT’S STOPPING YOU? *
* THERE IS NOT TO BE SOME WITH EVERYTHING AND SOME WITH NOTHING!
* THE RICH GETTING RICHER AND THE POOR GETTING POOR GETTING POORER IS
“NOT” GOD’S WAY! *
Luke 17:20,21
NKJV
Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said,
“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say , ‘see here’! or
‘see there’! For indeed the kingdom of God is within you.”
* SOME VERY REVEALING TRUTH FOR EVERYONE TO WRAP THEIR HEADS AND HEARTS AROUND. *
* IN YOUR HEART IS WHERE THE KING RULES, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD “IS”. *
* IT IS A VERY PERSONAL MATTER THAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN YOU. *
* YOU “ARE” THE TEMPLE OF AND THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS “IN” YOU. *
* YOU “ARE” GOD’S HOUSE THAT HE COMES TO LIVE “IN”. *
* WE ARE TO BE WECOMING AND RESPECTFUL, APPRECIATIVE, THANKFUL
THAT GOD LIVES IN US. *
* THERE IS AN INWARD CHANGE IN OUR LIVES AS WE ARE BORN FROM ABOVE, BORN OF GOD. *
* JUST MAKE GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT HAVE A PLACE WHERE HE IS PLEASED TO
DWELL. *
* THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT LIVE IN YOU. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU! *
Galations 2:17-21
NKJV
“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not! For if I build again those things I destroyed, I make myself
a transgressor.
For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”
* MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THE ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS WE ARE TO SEEK IS
“IN CHRIST”. *
* IF PAUL WERE TO TEACH THAT THE LAW OF MOSES ADDED TO YOUR SALVATION IN ANY WAY HE WOULD BE MAKING HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. *
* HE SAYS THE LAW IS DEAD TO ME! *
* NOW I CAN LIVE FOR GOD “IN CHRIST”. *
* CHRIST LIVES IN ME, AND I LIVE IN HIM. *
* THIS LIFE WE ARE LIVING NOW, WE LIVE BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVES US AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR US. *
* IF YOU PLACE ANY OF YOUR FAITH IN THE LAW OF MOSES YOU ARE SETTING ASIDE THE GRACE OF GOD! *
* FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE IS YOUR ONLY SALVATION! *
JESUS CHRIST—“I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AND NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.”
Isaiah 42:16
NKJV
I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in pathes they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do them, and not forsake them.
* THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE WAY FORWARD IN YOUR LIFE AND FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BLIND. *
* HE IS GIVING YOU SPIRITUAL EYES TO SEE THE WAY TO YOUR ABUNDANT LIFE. *
* HE IS BRINGING YOU IN A WAY THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW WAS POSSIBLE. *
* THE DARKNESS BEFORE YOU IS NOW BECOMING LIGHT. IN YOUR PERSONAL BLINDNESS…….NOW YOU WILL SEE YOUR WAY IN GOD’S LIGHT! *
* CROOKED PLACES IN YOUR WAY FORWARD ARE STRAIGHTENING OUT BECAUSE HE SEES YOU NEED HELP. *
* GOD SAYS, “THESE THINGS I WILL DO FOR THEM, AND NOT FORSAKE THEM”. *
* BECAUSE YOU NEED HELP AND ARE TRUSTING IN THE LORD FOR YOUR HELP. *
* HE IS BRINGING YOU ON YOUR TO YOUR BLESSED, FAVORED, ABUNDANT LIFE. *
* HE IS LEADING THE WAY TO IT ALL……
WHAT YOUR ARE HOPING AND PRAYING FOR. *
* THE CROOKED WAYS…….CONFUSION, DOUBT, DARKNESS, FRUSTRATION ARE BEING STRAIGHTENED OUT BE FATHER GOD. *
* OPEN UP YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES TO SEE WHAT HE IS DOING IN YOUR LIFE, AND FAMILY AND SITUATIONS. *
* GOD IS DOING GREAT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW. *
* HIS MERCY AND LOVING KINDNESS WITH HIS MIRACLES ARE OPEN TO YOU TO HAVE
BECAUSE HE IS HAVING COMPASSION YOU YOU. *
* OPEN YOUR EYES AND HEART TO RECIEVE HIS GOOD WAY FORWARD TO ABUNDANT LIVING IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE. *
I have been living for God for some 40 years now. My mom and I are Wiyot from Humbolt County California. We have been denied access to our trust land because it is landlocked. That is right, no road or permission to build a road into our own land.
Only Native People face this kind of injustice in America in 2024. I am asking you to pray for us, that Father God will bring us justice for this mistreatment.
If you know of any way to help us in this fight for our human and civil rights please contact me.

I have had the opportunity to spend time in the presence of OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. I like to sing this beautiful song to him as I come boldly before his throne of grace…..
“Take me past the outer court,
into the holy place….
Past the brazen alter
Lord I want to see your face…..
Past the crowds of people,
the priests who sing your praise…..
Lord I hunger and thirst for your righteousness……and it’s only found in one place,
Take my in to the holy of holies,
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the holy of holies,
Take the coal touch my lips, here I am
*THE TIME FOR SUPERFICIAL PRAYER AND RELATIONSHIP IS OVER IN MY LIFE. *
* BEING BROUGHT INTO HIS INNER PRESENCE THROUGH JESUS IS WHAT FIXES WHAT IS LACKING IN MY LIFE. *
* I HAVE FOUND THAT I CAN TOUCH HIS HEART….THAT WE CONNECT ON THAT LEVEL NOW. *
* HE IS MY FATHER, AND I AM HIS SON. *
* HE HEARS MY PRAYERS AND WE TALK ABOUT THEM TOGETHER……WE AGREE TOGETHER, MY FATHER AND I, AND HE BRINGS MY REQUESTS GRANTED …..HE SAYS YES, AND I SAY AMEN. *
* IT TRULY IS HIS GENTLENESS THAT MAKES US GREAT! *
Galations 3:27-29
Amplifed…….
For all of you who were baptized into Christ (into spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed) have clothed yourselves with Christ (that is, you have taken on his characteristics and values).
There is (now no distinction in regard to salvation) neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female;
For you (who believe) are all one in Christ Jesus (no one can claim a spiritual superiority).
And if you belong to Christ (if you are in him), then you are Abraham’s descendents, and (spiritual) heirs according to (God’s) promise.
* “IN CHRIST” WE TAKE ON HIS CHARACTERISTICS AND VALUES.
* FOR THOSE “IN CHRIST” THERE IS NO MORE RACISM, SEXISM, OR ANY EXTERNAL RESPECT REGARDING ANY POSTION OR CLASS IN LIFE.
* NO SPIRITUAL SUPERIORITY OVER ANOTHER FOR ANY REASON.
* ALL HUMAN BEINGS OVER THE WHOLE EARTH “IN CHRIST”, ARE ONE.
* ALL ARE RECOGNIZED BY FATHER GOD AS ABRAHAM’S DESCENDENTS AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO GOD’S PROMISE.
* “IN CHRIST THERE IS NO BASIS FOR ANY DISCRIMINATING PRACTICES.
* ALL ARE HEIRS OF GOD AND JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS.
* THIS IS THE PROMISE THAT GOD MADE TO ABRAM (ABRAHAM)…..
* I WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT NATION.
* I WILL YOU ABUNDANTLY.
* I WILL MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT EXALTED, DISTINGUISHED.
* YOU SHALL BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS.
* I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU.
* I WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU.
* IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH WILL BE BLESSED.
Psalm 92:12-15
Amplifed…….
The righteous will flourish like the date palm (long lived, upright and useful);
They will grow like a ceadar in Lebanon (majestic and stable). Planted in the house of the Lord. They will flourish in the courts of our God.
(Growing in grace) they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;
They will flourish and be vital and fresh (rich in trust and love and contentment);
They are living memorials to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful (to his promises).
* WE ALL KNOW KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PLANT IN OUR YARD THAT IS HEALTHY AND FLOURISHING THAN ONE THAT IS WEAK. *
* ONE IS THRIVING, GREEN, RICH COLORED, AND BEAUTIFUL. THE OTHER WEAK LOOKING, THIN AND FADING. *
* THE RIGHTEOUS, WHO HAVE JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR ARE A LIKE A HEALTHY FRUIT TREE THAT BEARS GOOD TASTING FRUIT. *
* THEY WILL STILL BEAR FRUIT IN OLD AGE. THEY WILL THRIVE AND PROSPER BECAUSE GOD WILL WATCH OVER THEM IN HIS FAITHFULNESS. *
* THEY WILL BE RICH IN LOVE, TRUST AND CONTENTMENT. *
* THEY ARE DECLARING WITH THEIR LIVES THAT THE LORD IS UPRIGHT AND FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISES. *
* IT IS THE LORD HIMSELF WHO TAKES CARE OF THEM AND BRINGS HIS PROMISES INTO THEIR LIVES. *
* THEY ARE “LIVING MEMORIALS ” TO THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD. *
