Love Is Love Is Not

LOVE IS / LOVE IS NOT He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. For I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind...that you may discern the things that are excellent until the day of Christ...who is mightly working in us who believe. When Jesus said that we are to love our enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, and do good unto those who despitefully use you, did not mean that we should agree, particapate, are follow after them. In doing what our Lord has commanded we are also to beware and watch out. Deut.13:1-4 Examine why the word tells us to come out the midst of them, do not be bound together with unbelievers. 11Cor.6:14 - 18 We are to avoid such people as these who hold to a form of Godliness. 11Tim.3:1-5 Compassion does not embrace evil. The apostle Paul wrote that love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, but does not give the approval to pay attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, nor turn our ears away from the truth and aside to myths, and hold to a form of godliness. If we don't test the spirits we will fall. 11Cor.13:6,7; 1Tim.4:1; 11Tim.4:3,4 Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. How can we do so when we can't discern what is evil? ...resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 How can you resist what you cannot discern??? Not by power nor by might but by MY Spirit says the Lord. The first warning Jesus gave the disciples in Matt. 24 was to let no one deceive you. And in my observation not many really care what it is that will deceive the masses; many there will be that take the broadway. To visit widows and orphans in their distress can be done by the world, but to be kept unstained by the world through its deceit and lust will be done by the one whom the world hated and said would hate all who followed Him, literally. So let it be known, so let it be examined what the world is presenting to be followed that opposes Jesus. I have no problem with love that rejoices in the truth. What is the truth? You are no longer your own you have been bought with a price, therefore give Him back His house that the world may see the One whom they have peirced. The ones who's love will grow cold and fall away from the faith, who will have loved theri own way, is this the camp we want to be found in? Will we have faith to the preserving of the soul or shrink back to destruction. Pure faith, keeps love pure, and this is the faith Jesus will be looking for when He returns. This is the love that will permeate the kingdom of God; it sets aside all bitterness, wrath, anger and clamor

along with all malice in this life so in the life to come, this love will prevail. Love is not, trying to rebuild and restore what is passing away, and will surely come to an end, if it is then examine where your house is built. Man will not bring about what The Father has finished. This present heaven and earth will pass away; be purged, so the Lord is the one who will restore and bring in the new not man. If we are strangers and aliens just passing through, and we are, and are looking for the city which is to come and we should be; to bring back and restore what is ending; dwindeling, dissolving and dissappearing, is to be deceived. The curtain of this present world will close, come to an end. Look not at the things that are seen but the things that are not seen, for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal. 11Cor.4:16-18 The outer man is the world around you, the inner man is Christ within you. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but I will trust in the name of the Lord my God. For it is Him who is able to keep, able to preform, and able to bring to pass, and bring all who love His appearing safely into His heavenly kingdom. The love of God in Christ does not include mans will or ways. Jesus is the vine we are the branch, the vine produces the fruit the branch just bears the fruit, like, we carry this treasure in earthen vessels. Love of God will never fail working in you; to warn, avoid, abstain from, come out of the midst of that which appears to be righteousness; to be kind, gentle, patient when wronged; to examine everything carefully and hold fast to that which is good, to discern the holy and the profane; to be humble, to walk in the fear of the Lord that leads to life, to write your name in His book of rememberance. The love of God is elimanated among the people, by the people being the sovereign; government existing by the people's consent, lawlessness; deciding what love is and what love is not apart from the sovereignty or consent of the Lord Jesus Christ in whom all power in heaven and in earth has been given, not the people. Whatever the people say is right, is, in their own sight. Therefore it is the people's love that appears to be what love is, and this love is stained by the god of this world, counterfeit, unacceptable. This group will not inherit the kingdom of God. Absolutely not!!! Soceity has so highly prized and valued human life, and mans love as they would have it to be, (withering grass and fading flowers) that the life and love of God through His Spirit has taken second place in the heart of soceity. The systems of the world will soon be dissolved by the government of Christ that will have no end. Will you be there to look upon love that is, or appear where love is not? Bond servant of Christ
