REAL LOVE versus VANITY

LOVE IS COVENANT OBEDIENCE! You can Find this Truth in Scripture:

John 14:21 – He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

1 John 2:4 – He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

John 14:15 – If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Luke 6:46 – And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Romans 6:16 – Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Matthew 7:21 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

James 1:22 – But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

1 Samuel 15:22 – And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

James 2:24 – Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Matthew 7:14 – Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

2 Corinthians 2:9 – For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

COVENANT LOVE BASED FAMILY is the foundation of everything. It’s what we are all here for!

Even if you are unmarried, you represent the family of God (Elohim) and you represent your Parents.

Don’t do violence against the Covenant of marriage and family!

Malachi 2:15
And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Love God, Love People, with Fruit!

Love for God leads to holiness, sanctification, and obedience.

Love for People leads to strong family covenants and compassion for all other humans that are made in God’s image.

Does your fruit match your message?

When you chase VAIN people and their LIES, God’s MERCY gets sucked right out of your life!

Jonah 2:8 They that observe LYING VANITIES forsake their own mercy.

Don’t do it! Stick with the humble people that Fear God and Do His Word!

Psalm 31:6 I have hated them that regard LYING VANITIES: but I trust in the Lord.

HOW TO HUMBLE YOURSELF: What to Do When you Get Caught in a Prideful Lie

HOW TO HUMBLE YOURSELF: What to Do When you Get Caught in a Prideful Lie

Once you figure out that you’ve made a mistake in pride, or in believing a lie… forget about your reputation!

Don’t let shame destroy you. Humility is your friend.

Proverbs 30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in LIFTING UP THYSELF, or if thou hast THOUGHT EVIL, LAY THINE HAND UPON THY MOUTH.

Job 40:3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 4 Behold, I AM VILE; what shall I answer thee? I WILL LAY MINE HAND UPON MY MOUTH. 5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I WILL PROCEED NO FURTHER.

What to Do When you get Caught in a Prideful Lie:

1. Close your mouth. Proceed no further in that direction.

2. Reverse your errors. Do and say the opposite of every lie you believed.

3. Down is the way up! Humble yourself first, THEN you will be exalted.

4. Use the WORDS of your MOUTH to confess your sins, apologize for your mistakes, and reconcile with God AND with humans that were exposed to your error.

Scriptures:

Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Daniel 9:9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Forgiveness and Restoration is Always Availablewith God and with Humans!

Time does NOT heal your Iniquities; TAKE WORDS WITH YOU

Apologize with real words if you want reconciliation with God.

Hosea 14: 1 O israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

2 TAKE WITH YOUR WORDS, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we RENDER THE CALVES OF OUR LIPS.

Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Time does NOT heal Broken Relationships; TAKE WORDS WITH YOU.

You can Forgive and Heal alone with God, but if you don’t want to REPEAT the same patterns in your life; you must also pursue reconciliation with people.

Apologize with real words if you want reconciliation with people.

Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Don’t Be Offended with the Accuracy of Jesus!

Jesus valued Spiritual accuracy more than feelings and emotions.

Look at these seemingly contradicting statements that He gave to His number One Apostle:

Jesus to Peter:

“My Father gave you this revelation straight from heaven, you are a Rock!”

10 seconds later
“Get behind me Satan, you care about things of men, not things of God!”

Jesus to Peter:

“Satan wants to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you so your faith won’t fail. When your faith comes back, make sure you strengthen your brothers and bring them back too!”

30 seconds later:
“Your love for me isn’t as strong as you think, as a matter of fact will betray me 3 times before the rooster crows tomorrow morning!”

As Followers of Yashua, we have to learn not to be overly sensitive. The Son of God has not changed. HE CALLS IT LIKE HE SEES IT INSIDE OF OUR HEARTS! He is not concerned with hiding the truth to make us feel good.

He will show us the DEVIL in us at the SAME TIME He is PRAYING for us and BUILDING us up.

If we are offended with Sharp Truths, we will stop following the One whose only desire is to love us to eternal life and make us great in His Kingdom.

If you love Him, come back to Him and Feed His Sheep and His little Lambs!

If you love Him, use the things you’ve learned from your devilish mistakes to make others stronger in the Kingdom!

If you love Him, follow your Savior until death! Periodt!

How to Reconcile with Jesus’s Leadership:

1. Do you love me?
Reverse every lie you believed by telling the truth publicly.

2. Strengthen your brethren.
Strengthen and lead others to submit and obey instead of separate and rebel.

3. Feed my sheep!
Feed His sheep and His lambs, give your life to serve His people.
