Yahoshua Said That In The Beginning Of Sorrows, “The Love Of Many Will Grow Cold”, (Matthew 24:12).  The Word Used Here For Love Is The Word ‘Agape’, (Strong’s Concordance # 26).  This Kind Of “‘Agape’” Love Only Comes From Yahweh.  Only Followers Of Christ Have This Kind Of Love.  The World Doesn’t Have This “‘Agape’” Love.

This Is The Unqualified Acceptance That We Have For One Another.  And It Starts When The World Sees Us Loving One Another.  Loving Sisters And Brothers In The Lord, Rather Than Fighting Over Our Differences.

“You Are My Friends If You Do Whatever I Command You”.  How Would You Liked To Be Called A Friend Of Yahoshua And That Yahoshua Likes To Pal Around You.  Not That He Just Loves You, But That He Likes You.  Daniel 11:32 Says, “The People Who Know Their God Shall Be Strong, And Carry Out Great Exploits”.

We Are Yahweh’s Ambassadors, (2 Corinthians 5:20).  Imagine Having A Son or Daughter That Likes To Wear Their Baseball Cap On Backwards .  They Are Still Our Child, But How Much More Joy Comes To Us When They Look Sharp, And Someone Says, “Is That Your Son or Daughter”.

They Had The New Commandment, But Didn’t Know It.  To, “Love One Another”; It Was There ALL The Time In The Ten Commandments.  Or As B. J. Thomas Sang, We Should Be, “Loving People And Using Things, And Not The Other Way Around”.

Solomon, The Wisest Man On Earth Wrote What I Would Call A Good Definition Of Grace In Proverbs 16:6, “By Mercy And Truth Iniquity Is Purged: And By The Fear Of Yahweh Men Depart From Evil”. (Compare This To What Solomon’s Father David Wrote In Psalm 25:8;10). Probably, You Could Not Detect The Sin Problem In The Other Person’s Life, Unless You Also Were Tempted In This Same Area, (Matthew 7:5; Luke 6:42).

Yahoshua Was Once Confronted By The Pharisees About His Eating With Tax Collectors And Sinners That Was Considered Un-Cool.  That Was The Truth~!  How Often Have I Said Something Bad About Someone And Have Yahweh Stop Me.  My Reply Is Normally, “But, It’s The Truth~!”  Remember From Proverbs 16:6, That My Definition Of Grace Is A Combination Of Mercy And Truth.  Like An Epoxy Needing Both, And Not Just Focused On One.

Later On, Yahoshua Ran Across Some Pharisees Being Critical Of The Disciples For Doing Something On The Sabbath.  This Time The Pharisees Really Had A Point.  Last Time It Was A Gray Area Concerning Yahoshua Being In The Home Of A Tax Collector, But This Was Definitely Black And White.  This Was Clearly A Wrong.

I Have Mentioned John 13:35 Many Times.  Note That John 13:34-35 Was Given To The Disciples At One Of The Hardest Times Of Yahoshua’s Life.  This Was The Night Before His Final Execution.  His Own Disciples Would Betray Him By Tomorrow.  Peter Would Turn And Run.  Before The Night Was Over, Yahoshua Would Find No One To Pray For Him.

The Christians Have Poured Judgment On The World, So The World judges The Body Of Christ.  They Know Judgment Because We Showed Them Judgment.  If You Sow Love, You Reap Love.  You Sow Grace, You Reap Grace~!  Want Somebody To Start Believing In You.  Start Believing In Them~!  In The Same Way, We Know Love Because Our Abba Father, Daddy Yahweh First  Loved Us, (1 John 4:18), And Believes In Us.

The Greek Word For Repent In The New Testament Is Defined As, “To Change Your Mind”, (Strong’s #3340, Metanoeo). And The Word For Confess In The New Testament Means, “To Say The Same Thing As, or To Agree”, (Strong’s #3670, Homologeo). For This Plan To Accomplish The Desired Results, I Had To First Repent, (To Change My Mind), Realizing That What I Thought Would Work, Would Not.

We Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb And The Word Of Our Testimony, (Revelation 12:11), But We Haven’t Known Much About The Later.  I Think This Has Hurt Us.  Recall That The Word Know Comes From The Greek Word “Ginosko”, (Strong’s Concordance #1097), And That Means To Know Something Works Because You Have Experienced It, {Experimental Knowledge}.

Now, That I Have Had A Confrontation With A Person That Wanted To verbally Berate Me, And I Have Encountered A Successful Way Of Dealing With That Situation; I Now Have A Game Plan In My Heart That I Know Will Work Again If I Am In The Same Dilemma.  But, Do I Have To Experience Everything Personally, Before I Incorporate That Scheme Into My Arsenal Of Strategies.

Well, I Said ALL That Above To Say This..  We Don’t Know That Confession And Repentance Are Offensive Weapons Of Our Warfare Instead Of Thinking Of Confession And Repentance As Defensive Means Of Coming Before Yahweh. We Don’t Realized Who We Are, That We Are Yahweh’s Pride And Joy~!

Even If A Little Child Does What We Tell Them Not To Do, Such As Placing Their Hand On A Hot Stove, We Do Not Draw Away From Them, But Instead, We Put Balm On Their Wound. Or We Take Them To The Doctor or Whatever Else Is Necessary For Their Health And Welfare.  They Are Always Our Child.

I Heard An Old Joke That A Man Was Driving In His Truck And He And His Wife Of Many Years Saw A Younger Couple In Another Truck Sitting Close Together.  The Wife Turned To The Husband And Said, “Why Don’t We Sit Close Like That Any More?”  The Husband Replied, “I Haven’t Moved”.  Sin, “Appears”, To Separates Us From Yahweh, But In Fact It Does Not, (Romans 5:17, 25; Romans 8:39; Colossians 22:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; 1 John 1:8-9; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:10).

Yahweh Does Not Leave Us When We Sin — We Leave Yahweh.  Since Yahoshua Has Paid The Price For ALL Sin And Even Removed, (By Satisfying), ALL Requirements For Favor With Yahweh — As Yahweh Is Not Mad At Us When We Sin, But Rather Grieved For Our Sakes.  He Hurts When We Mess Up Our Lives And Will Teach Us Through His Word But He Will Never Do Anything To Harm.

Coming Home One Night, My Car’s Battery Drained And We Had To Park At A Friend’s Home And Have Her Drive Us Home.  The Next Day, The Car Would Not Start, So I Borrowed A Battery From The Alternator Repair Shop Where I Had Just Had A Re-Built Alternator Put On In November, (It Was Now March).  They Said That The Alternator Checked Out Okay.  So, I Gave Them Their Battery Back, And They Put A Charge On My Battery.  Then I Took The Car To The Auto Garage, And They Said Both The Alternator And The Battery Checked Out Okay.

As A Result Of Sin, The Word Of Knowledge For Someone That Was Supposed To Have Come By Us Is Blocked, And Thus The Other Person Suffers From Not Be Presented The Direction Of Yahweh.  (The Love Of Yahweh Compels or Constrains Me To Not Walk In Sin, Not So Much For My Sake, But For Others — “For The Love Of Christ Constrains Us; Because We Thus Judge, That One Died For All, Therefore All Died; And He Died For All, That They Which Live Should No Longer Live Unto Themselves, But Unto Him Who For Their Sakes Died And Rose Again”, (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).  Sin Hinders Us From Hearing From Yahweh, But Does Not Stop Yahweh or His Love or His Power Towards Us.  It Only Stops Us From Receiving His Love, His UnConditional Acceptance, His Power And His Benefits.

The Corrosion Prevents The Current From The Battery From Getting To Your Radio, (So You Can’t Hear From Yahweh), But It Does Not Diminish The Power Of The Battery.  Those Under The Law Will Still Have To Be Dealt With According To The Law, But The Ultimate Goal Is For Grace.  And The Blood Of Yahoshua Cleanses Us From ALL Sin And Like The Corrosion Preventative In The Natural World Is Universal, So Will The Blood Of Yahoshua Cleanse Anyone In The World.

I Wonder If Folks That Commit Hideous Crimes Feel Like That They Can Never Be Pardoned, So What Does It Matter If They Commit One More Act Of violence.  They Are Without Hope.  They Probably Hate What They Do, But Don’t Know A Way Out.  Their Only Alternative Is To Turn Themselves In, Where They Are Sure To Be Executed.  So Far, This Plan Hasn’t Worked.
