UNFAILING LOVE - BROTHER JAMES, OIC

UNFAILING LOVE - Brother James, OIC

Corinthians 13:4-10

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;  does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part.  But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

The Love of God comes with a Promise, which is: that it will NEVER FAIL. All the Gifts that the Holy Spirit uses to help grow you up will at times fail IF you refuse to grow in Christ. Love, of the God Kind, Never Fails for God's purposes and it will never fail for us, that is, when it is perfected (matured) in us. 

1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

There is a noticeable difference between Vessels that are full of God's Love and the religious who have deluded themselves into believing, that what's actually their fallen goodness, is God's Love. There is, with  certainty, a goodness in the world that cheats its possessor out of the True Knowledge of God and True Faith in Jesus Christ. The difference between these wheat and tares, those truly Righteous and the Self Righteous, is that only one produces lasting good fruit in others,  one truly honors God and  has eternal life as it's destiny.  This is the one who is pleasing to God in their faith and are the ones who are truly denying themselves, truly laying down their lives and carrying their crosses daily for the cause of Christ, those who have within them Gods Fruit of Unfailing Love.  These are those who Walk in Faith-Filled Obedience that works Powerfully through God's Unfailing Love within them. Where so many Churches and Outreaches today help people stay in their problems that is not what we are called to do.  I actually saw on Facebook where one minister wrote that many homeless wanted to continue living in the woods (really do you believe that?) so that's why they were giving out tents, this to many seems like a good thing but is it? We are not to help people live in their problems but minster the Truth in Love and watch God draw them into the Liberty that's in Christ.   A friend of mine who was from the beginning a Bond Servant of Christ asked this minister on FB how many  in their outreach have opened  their homes to these homeless in the True Love of God?  I've personally checked and there's been no response to his question that was asked over a week ago though many other dead works posts were posted.  I suspect this outreach is a good example of loveless Jesus Plus Movement.  Jesus plus medicines, Jesus plus 12 Steps, Jesus plus (Dead) Works, which mean Jesus is no longer the True risen Christ but a name given to a satanic false solution.  Where is the Power of Love in this? They better know their judgment slumbereth not and is awaiting them. They will be held accountable before God for their lies.

True Disciples who walked in God's Unfailing Love in the first century Church and today were & are on a mission that would culminate in an equality among the brethren. 

Acts 2:44-46  And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Acts 4:33-35 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,  And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

And their Faith that Worketh by Unfailing Love worked in Power:

Acts 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

Acts 19:11-12 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

People get offended when you talk about their medicines I ask only that you do this: Read the warning labels and then KNOW THIS:

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

During my spiritual journey of loving others as Christ loved us I've been blessed  to meet other brethren on this same narrow and difficult path of Truth which produces Faith and Unfailing Love. These walk in the Power of God as Gods Anointing; the Spirit of Christ dwells in them. Yet true to God's Word I've met many more who would be the Pharisees of this day.  They make disciples using hell bound doctrines and false solutions falsely calling them Jesus and these apostates are well supported by the Dead Churches and all who would have their ears tickled by their doctrines of devils and of seducing spirits.  

We desire better for you and those God allows us to meet through His Divine Appointments. God more times than not blesses us by drawing their hearts to live with us here at The New City of Refuge thereby receiving  discipleship in Truth birthing them to become OverComers In Christ and walk in a Faith that Works by Unfailing Love.
