Romans 11:25-27 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness (Or, hardness) in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

The LORD looseth the prisoners: (8) The LORD openth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: (9) The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. (10) The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD."

(6) But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for them that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

When we go before The Lord in prayer and petition with thanksgiving, and in sincerity of heart and The Holy Spirit's witness within our spirit that all is well, he hears us. But if there is unconfessed and unrepentant sin that rules within us--if our lives reflect not that we truly follow Christ, and that we engage in the acts of this wicked world and its lusts and rages despite the attendance of worship, His Love is not in us. Worshipping Christ is a continuous act throughout our daily lives; Faith is an action verb. Some types of unresolved sin are unforgiveness toward another person for a perceived or actual wrong, and not heeding The Holy Spirit's tug within you not to do something, whether we understand the reason not to or not. God knows The End from The Beginning, and He knows all things best and good for us, like a true Loving Father does. Keep that line of communication open between The Lord Jesus Christ and yourself as He leads you, and obey and trust Him. He Loves You!
The Lord God's Mercy and Grace Reigns supreme over all the earth and heavens, for He Created them and all that is in them! He looks upon the oppressed, the hungry, prisoners, the blind and bowed down, strangers, and the fatherless and widows and satisfies their every need, and loves those whose walk is righteous before Him. We are witnessing before our very eyes the "turning of the wicked upside down", are we not? Yes and AMEN!
He shall reign, and the wicked shall fall.
Our abiding, obedience and reverence of the Sovereignty of God brings great benefit and peace and joy! He will never leave us or forsake us.
We know that the blood of countless millions of unborn babies cries from the ground of this earth! And countless more that are mistreated, abused, trafficked and murdered at the hands of wicked individuals whose hearts are joined with the Evil One! Woe unto them, for the day of their judgment will come in full and swiftly at the Hand of Almighty God!
Knowing of the existence of God and Christ Jesus is one thing, but truly having a personal relationship and abiding in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, means that you will keep his words and obey Him. Father God loves us so much, He gave His only Beloved Son so that we might be saved and live that true Life that He always wanted us to have, but was snatched from us when Adam and Eve decided that they would be their own gods, that they needed to know evil aside from all the indescribable good that they had experienced, walking and talking with God in the Garden, laughing and enjoying all the beautiful animals and creatures that The LORD had made. No fear, no disease, no pain, no absence of His Presence.
Let us walk in the fruits of the Spirit as Galatians 5:22-23 instructs, so that we will glorify Father God, be that example that bears the fruit of repentance and acceptance of Christ Jesus in others, walking with them and teaching them in all Truth, that they will go out and also bring others into the comforting, loving fold of Jesus Christ. He holds us in his arms as the lambs we are to Him, and He The Lamb of God to us.
There are many of those who purport to be Christians, to be believers in Christ Jesus, but do not truly follow Him. It is blaringly apparent as to who these are as we walk in the daily walk of this present world. It is my profound prayer that these prodigals return unto the waiting arms of The Lord God, who abundantly pardons and receives them back in celebration.
In the Christian walk, as believers when we share the Gospel with others and they receive Christ, we then disciple them. They attend the church we attend, being fed all the more with the good things of a beautiful Walk with Christ and the fellowship of other believers. Then they may not decide to attend the church you attend, but it is paramount that they understand that wherever they decide to worship and fellowship, that there is teaching of the entire of the Word of God, true reverence of God in worship and praise and not patterning after the music and ways of the world to the point, where the atmosphere resonates in fleshly thoughts and not of full adoration and praise of The Lord God.
If you truly, truly do follow Christ Jesus and talk to Him and read His Word and spend time in prayer and petition before Him, His Holy Spirit within you will convict you of any err of yourself or of a body of believers, or of a pastor or preacher.
Today, be filled with the fruits of righteousness in Christ Jesus, lighting the way for others, praising God and awaiting His Return!
Amen!
“That it be done!”
