The Love of Christ

“Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:18, King James Version[KJV]; “And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12: 29-31, KJV).

Greetings In The Holy Name Of Jesus,

My brothers and sisters, I think best to fundamentally understand God’s law, Christ Jesus’ law—-that generations of thought processes were not mentally open-minded to everyday living—-true to form opinions about falling in and out of love, merely at the point of discovery because of the acceptance of slavery—-that was wrong, then and now. You cannot mix the consequences of living life with the decisions to live life according to your perfunctory nature of choice. Let this thought stand, That my choices today will possibly or could not possibly stand by me in the perfection of my living, each day—always and forever; not because I evolved or the sign of the times but simply, I was wrong then and I am wrong now. To this extravagance we hear, You did right to convict on their malice contempt. You think, Where did those thoughts come from? We know there are three witnesses to tell God about what happened, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. In the best rendition of this song, a friend said, I agree. Does this song of living life in God’s love make you feel weak in your knees afraid to stand; afraid to sit because God’s love is firstly the reason of each season. This love is the hardest task you will ever have to deal with trying to grasp hold to reality and not what you feel in the weakness of your flesh. I want to know that wherever you are in your life that God loves you because God so loved the world that he gave the world his only begotten Son—-that is Christ Jesus Yahshuah [John 3: 16 KJV]. I did not think that you will ever forget that God loves you. He is a lover. You cannot out love God. There are folks that perhaps they are a lover of all times leaving people behind, not forgetting themselves, making mountains out mole hills about all of the love entanglements in their lives lived, by them. And they do not remove those mountains they just create more mountains standing in front of them, against them. Is life worth living? I hope so. Where is your faith in life everlasting? You maybe or are you trapped in fleeting moments of passion that you do not understand what is happening to your body but God asks your heart and he asks your mind about these joys and sufferings. There is no joy of sufferings. That is a false reality. Are you suffering? Is the fleeting moment that you suffer best taken care of in the court of law—God’s law; to make sense of what is happening to you in God’s love. I want to speak to all of these issues because God’s love is a massive overtaking God’s family each and every day. God’s love is strong enough to swallow you up; stronger than the greatest wave that you surfed on or the greatest rip tide that tried to drown you, in the sea of your love but God is the ocean of your love. Let us meet the intent of the cases aforementioned in a word to one of the Supreme Court Justices of the United States of America [USA]; Loving v. Virginia (1967), a case that utilized substantive due process to legalize interracial marriage; Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) established that adults have the right to use contraceptives, Lawrence v. Texas (2003) established that it is illegal to punish people for homosexual activity, and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) legalized same-sex marriage on a national level, Roe v. Wade (1973) legalized abortion rights, however, recently overturned spoke volumes of how the Supreme Court Justices should revisit landmark substantive due process cases. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health (2022) ruled that the Constitution of the United States of America do not confer any right to abortion thereby overturning Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) reaffirmed Roe v. Wade (1973).

What happens to you when you cannot be with the one who you love? Blessed be he who comes in the Name of the Lord. Obviously, you are in a great battle of life. Every thought is coming your way to question you about your choices in life; your sound mind is in question, here. What do you think about God: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Who do you love? This great love of yours who you cannot live without that satisfies your every waking thought and engages in your every waking action of response. Are you awake? Are you feeling the love of your creator, for you? Let us discuss all those problems, I once loved. I thought I loved a man. I found I was mistaken. Now, I love myself. However, I did become a groupie and I loved many people: men and women. I did not get into the perverse practices but the thoughts of perverseness was in the group and I had to think about it because the thoughts kept coming up until they became haunting dark thoughts of lust. I felt I needed those thoughts after a while. I kept engaging with the group that was entertaining those wanton thoughts of perversion in lust. What was I to do with escaping this group? The group surrounds you and comes by you everyday to keep those perverse thoughts alive in you, planting seeds of perversion, to live in you everyday until when you are ready and then, those groupies will be there to help you make the transition from life as you know it to life of the unknown but you know the group practices perversions because the thoughts of perversions are constantly spoken of and practiced in the group. Finally, you understand those groupies are breaking you in to a new life of perversion. Do you want God to give you an escape? Maybe, later because your flesh is already weakened under the influence of the dark thoughts. Christ be with you. Your strength comes from the LORD GOD. Are the influences of drugs captivating you in the weakness of your body causing you to lean on your groupies friends. Christ is your friend. God loves you. Christ died for you? Are the groupies asking you to die for them, Will you die for me? God, the Son died for you The question to die for someone is no longer viable or valid. That question is a false reality because God died for you. There is no greater death than the death of God the Son dying for you, for your soul, for your redemption, for your everlasting life. This idea of wanting to die for someone is a false reality and a terrible, most horrible hatred of God’s love, God’s creation of you. You do not understand how much this mockery of God’s love hurts us all, in the one body—each member of the one body is hurt by those dark thoughts that are making you a slave of a false reality because you are free. Why do you want to be a slave? There are darknesses out there trying to capture free people to make them slaves which is a mockery of God’s love that freed you with the hope of everlasting life. God loves you. Do you think you could possibly think of God’s love without the trappings that influence you to go to your dark thoughts and the perverse practices of the flesh in your darknesses; coming out of one dark door of false reality into another dark door of false reality; pretending you are doing the right thing with the gift of life that God gifted you with and then, you are under the influence to die for your freedom with the drugs, with the lustfulness, with the perversion, with the violence and with the sicknesses that will l as take your body and enslave your body. The sicknesses rule you. You have treated your body so poorly you did not protect your body even though God told you that the body is weak. You went right on out there in the darkness of danger and exposed your body to all manner of evil and sicknesses. You do not care about your life anymore. You are ready to die. Now, we ask you, Would you live your gift of life in another world—in another country, with a man, with a woman, with a child, with an animal or with your drug of choice? Is this the difference in whether you live or not, today or tomorrow? You have become a dark thought of waste. You do not see the value of your human capital, how valuable you are to God. The investment God made in you, for you to live in this world. There are many lost children. There are lost family members. There are lost members of the one body of the church. Do you ever think that you are lost—-you are away from God? Do you speak to God in an intimate manner of conversation as a child speaks to a Father? Do you speak to Christ Jesus Yahshuah in an intimate manner of conversation as a brother or a sister speaks to a brother? Do you hear the Holy Ghost Spirit speaking to you each and every day comforting you and guiding you in an intimate manner of conversation that you know God is with you? You are not alone. God is with you. Christ be with you. Let us discuss scripture of God’s love for you are living a life of God’s love because your living is not in vain and you should feel like your living is not in vain. Are you whoever you are: popular, quiet, reserved, shy, aggressive, weak, foolish, bold, uninhibited, a leader, a follower, a helper, a soldier for God, or a hater? Who told you who you are? Did you agree with them? Do you share their image of you? You are the image of God. There is no greater image than the image of God. Let us now discuss holy scripture of God’s love, for you, his life—-the life of Christ Jesus.
