1st peter 2:9 Says, we are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood.
We are a governing priesthood.
The greek word (basileios) means royal,
regal, and kingly. we are to
walk, live, and act like royalty with athority! Not abusing the athority
we
have been given but using it to glorifying our Father in heaven by
walking in
pure love as ambasadors of Christ.
Our
walk with God
should be a joyful journey that we enjoy daily overflowing with the holy
spirit, loveing and recieving love unconditionally. We should be living
an
unbound lifestyle free from ungodly soul ties and strongholds that will
allow
the holy spirit to flow freely in our lives, a place where peace dwells
among
the brethren and we love our neighbor as ourselves.
James
2:8 If ye fulfil
the royal law according to the scripture, thou shalt love thy neighbor
as
thyself, ye do well, but if you have respect of persons you commit sin,
and are
convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the
whole law,
and yet offend(stumble) in one point, he is guilty of all.
God
gave me a dream
9/21/04,He said," I am trying to
see if you are of the royal bloodline." I had tasted something and spit
it
out because it was bitter and nasty..he said i am taking you through
some
things that are going to cause you to have to forgive and be able to
love your
enemy and you are not going to like it, but if you are of the" Royal
house
hold" you will be able to forgive. I can tell you when God begins to
train
you in warfare and he sends you to that spritiual boot camp, the flesh
does not
want to get under subjection to athority. We dont want to be submissive
or have
anyone to be accountable to or tell us what to do but God places leaders
over
us to prepare us for our journey, to train us, to instruct us, rebuke
us, teach
us how to be better soldiers for christ. He is getting us to a place of
love
like we have never loved before, that "agape love" where a man will
lay down his life for his brethren.
The
word of God says
in2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine (teaching)
for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That a man of
God
may be perfect, throughly furnished to all good works. That means not
lacking
in any area of forgivness, goodness, love, or charity toward mankind. If
we
cannot forgive our enemies we cannot call ourselves a christian or say
we are
of the "Royal Household" because the word of God says in Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which
despitefully use you, and persecute you, That you may be the children of
your
Father which is in heaven.
Well,
how many times
have we passed by our brother or sister in church and wont even speak or
shake
their hand or get up and move to another pew when someone sits down by
us and
leaves them thinking did I do something wrong? or even worse, there are
some
who backbite, gossip, slander their brothers and sisters in christ as if
they
are so holy! Hypocrites! Pharisees are what they are.If
we cant even love our sisters and brothers
in christ in church and be kind and loving to them, how can we think of
loving
our enemies?
2nd
cor 10: 3-5 says we
are not to stain the sword of truth with the blood of carnal warfare,
our
warfare is fought in the heavenlies with love and truth and prayer power
to
bring down strongholds!
Seriously,
I have been
in a battle for 4 years learning to love my enemies! you want to
retaliate when
they are mean or disrespectful and rude to you and you want to let them
know
"hey you cant talk to me that way!"
But
God says "hold
your peace and he will fight your battle" do not retaliate or render
evil
for evil. Talk a bout not wanting to get your flesh under subjection and
not
lash back. We want to make them know they cant treat us any old way.
Well, God
began to deal with me about loving my enemies. I would get so mad
because God
wouldnt do anything when I ask him to move them out of my way! lol, of
course
not! He said, "I"m teaching you a new way to deal with those who hurt
you and bring you to a level where it wont affect you and defeat you
anymore!
You are no longer a "Victim but a Victor"
He said," You are being trained and if
you want to move up in leadership and into my perfect plan for your life
then
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES!!!!!!! LOVE UNCONDITIONAL!." WOW, the things we use to
get away with doesnt work when God is getting you ready for something
greater.
I use to be a brawler, yes me..haha.. I would get into fights if someone
looked
at me wrong. He has to clean us out and strip us of every thing that is
not of
him on a daily basis.
John
13:34 A new
commandment I give you, That you love one another; as I have loved you,
that
you also love one another. 35- by this shallall men know that you are my desciples, if you have love one to
another.
1st
John 3:14 says, He
that loves not his brother abides in death. 15- says, whosoever hates
his
brother is a murder: and you know that no murder has eternal life
abiding in
him.
How
amazing! to say we
are a murderer if we hate our brother! People we need to get over our
temper
tantrums and return love for the evil because God says so! Oh, believe
me its
not an easy thing to do but if you knock PRIDE OUT OF YOUR SPIRIT then
there is
room for LOVE!Pride goeth before the
fall!
Peoverbs
11:2 says,
when pride comes, then comes shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
God
gave me a vision
while praying one evening while in the prayer room at my church. There
was
wheat all in the prayer room and tall to the cealing and it was
transparent in
color but I could tell what it was. He said " This is a celestial
harvest
(heavenly, devine) and that this storehouse is full. There is an
advanced state
of Love and charity coming from this harvest that we havent experienced
on this
level of Love before. In order to get your part in this harvest you have
to
give into it. And it will be the kind of harvest that will enable us to
Love
our enemies with that devine Love of God. I have been giving to my
enemies and
I have been able to forgive their tresspasses and the things that once
offended
me doesnt offend me anymore, Praise God! We have to have this kind of
Love in
order to win our enemies to God, we must LOVE THEM AS JESUS DOES. If you
want
to reap the harvest then sow into it. GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS, LOVE UNTIL IT
HURTS,
FORGIVE UNTIL IT HURTS. Long suffering isnt easy but its worth it. The
bible
says in Isaiah 58:6 "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose
the
band of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed
go
free, and that you break every yoke? How can we tare down strongholds if
we are
bound? If Gods love is not flowing in us we cant love or better yet
"become love" like Jesus. The "Agape Love" is when we
become Love as he is "Love" not mearly showing love as meager as we
know it. Its so much bigger than we know. Love doesnt have time to stop
and
think weather or not we want to forgive, or show kindenss, or mercy, or
forgivness, it just does it without hesitation flowing from one to the
other
unifying the body of Christ. Let's keep our hearts pure with a burning
love at
all times, I know its not easy but we can live at a level of love that
endures
all things if we put our minds to it. Choose this day whom you will
serve.
