Good Morning Friday.......
Father Thank You for this NEW Day. Please grant us TRUTH, WISDOM, DISCERNMENT, UNDERSTANDING, and KNOWLEDGE. Father we ask this so that we will not be conformed to this world, but TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our MINDS. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST'S Name. Amen. - The Choice Is Ours There are some conversations that we may not like to have. It can be pretty uncomfortable for us to talk about a subject like hell with someone. If you ask the world at large, they may even tell you how foolish the concept of a hell is, and then proceed to tell you that a "Loving God" wouldn't send people to hell. They may go on to explain that they put their faith in "science" and "logic." These people of the world haven't read The Bible. If they have... they didn't "hear" it. “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty” I Corinthians 1:27 The explanation of hell though isn't just doctrine. Do you know who spoke about our English translation of “hell” more than any other person in The Bible? None other than The Word of God Himself, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Not Paul, not Peter, not John either, but The King...God. “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 Make no mistakes, Jesus speaking, about what we call “hell,” was and is about Love. The world at large may try to "logic" or "science " away The Truth, but The Truth Lives, and He Lives Forever. 🔥 Hell, Hades, or Sheol may be real, but Our Loving Father's gift of choice is real as well. Our Father, kind and loving, leaves us choices to make. He calls us closer to Him so that we may know True Love. He invites and urges us to Love Him. He even submitted Himself to a fallen world and allowed abuses to be heaped upon Him, which He did not have to allow, because He Loved Us First. We should have no doubt that He allowed these things to happen because He Loved us first, and... He desires for us to Love Him back. I have learned that God Our Father never forces us to Love Him or do good, but we can find a “cloud of witnesses” in His Word of how He longs for us to Love Him and Do Good . If He forced us, if we didn’t have a choice, it wouldn't be True Love. In Scripture, Our Father goes above and beyond, from Genesis to Revelation, to show us how much He Loves Us. I am here to tell you, I can be a witness, His Love Is True. Our Father and Our Savior lay out the benefits, shows us He Is True To His Word, explains all His Promises, and then in a very concise manner communicates the choice, and the consequences involved. Our God and Father Gives Us All These Things and then... The Choice Is Ours. The Instructions of God Almighty or the gods of this world? The Everlasting Word of El Shaddai (God Almighty): “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God, but turn aside from The Way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ “For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as The LORD (YHWH,Yahweh) our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:6-8 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18 “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 “At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.” Matthew 18:1-5 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1
