“Justice and mercy are the foundation of My Throne!
Righteousness and Truth have kissed each other. I AM releasing and I AM increasing.
I AM preserving Truth in the inner parts of men and women who have paid the cost and been willing in their hearts, if not in their flesh to die to self.
There is no other path, but the narrow path to walk on, if you want eternal life. The gate is wide that leads to destruction.
There is only one Way that leads to life. The soul that seeks to save his life will lose it.”
“Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [Deuteronomy 30:19; Jeremiah 21:8.]” Matthew 7:13-14 AMP.
“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:25-27 NKJV
“The fruits of righteousness are sown in peace by those who make peace. They are not sown by those who hold grudges, by those who hold bitterness and suspicion in their hearts.
You cannot be a peacemaker and hold grudges!
You cannot be a peacemaker and have vengeance in your heart.
Your heart must be free of all unforgiveness. Forgive one another as I have forgiven you and granted you Mercy and Grace!
Is there anything I have not forgiven you?
Then why do you hold ought against your brother and sister?
Forgiveness is a process, but it starts with obedience to forgive. I will help the heart that is willing to change.
But the heart that seeks it’s own way will be given over to delusion if that person insists to go in rebellion away from Me and My ways.”
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.” James 3:17-18 NKJV.
“The hour is nigh when the times will test men’s souls and will test what kind of soldier you have become.
My heart is bent on harvest and I will soon come and deliver you from the bondages and sins that have easily beset you or that you have been unable to overcome though your heart has desired it.
I will always bless the heart that is set on pilgrimage — the one who is desirous for more of Me.
I long for you to have all that I have for you. But if I were to give it without your being prepared, it would be spoiled and Pride would contaminate that gift.
I AM not willing that you should perish in being overtaken by the evil one. I desire you to come to the fullness of the knowledge of My Love so that you can be filled to the brim with the very fullness of My Presence!
Those who desire their own way, but have been hindered by the enemy will even be turned around.
But those whose desire is solely for wickedness and self preservation will be given over to delusion and deception.”
“Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). [Jeremiah 2:11.] For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, and the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another — men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.
And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome, until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless.” Romans 1:25-31 AMP.
“For even now lawlessness arises, as men have become lovers of themselves instead of lovers of God.
Rebellion has risen to unbelievable heights in men desiring to clone human beings, despising My Laws, and hateful towards My Ordinances.
They have taken upon themselves to do whatever they want, and their minds have become corrupt as in the times of Noah.
They purpose to build a Babel of their own making, and to usurp the power that belongs to The Almighty alone!”
