For those who feel unloved

 

Luke 1:3-4

King James Version

3 It seemed good to me also, 

having had perfect understanding 

of all things from the very first, 

to write unto thee in order, 

most excellent Theophilus,

4 That thou mightest know 

the certainty of those things, 

wherein thou hast been instructed.

It's a sad thing to think you are not loved.

When there is a kind of love, FAR GREATER -- even incomparable -- to how people love.

People may reject you, persecute you, forget you, but be comforted because there is Someone Who loves you truly.

His love rests beautifully upon your soul.

His love gives you the peace, joy, and comfort you seek.

His love we've all had, from the very beginning.

GOD is the ONLY ONE Who loves us perfectly.

As these verses prove:

Genesis 1:26

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:28

King James Version

28 And God blessed them, 

and God said unto them, 

Be fruitful, and multiply, 

and replenish the earth, and subdue it: 

and have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over every living thing 

that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:29

King James Version

29 And God said, 

Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, 

which is upon the face of all the earth, 

and every tree, in the which 

is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; 

to you it shall be for meat.

Genesis 3:21

King James Version

21 Unto Adam also and to his wife 

did the Lord God make coats of skins, 

and clothed them.

Isaiah 41:10

King James Version

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: 

be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 

I will strengthen thee; 

yea, I will help thee; 

yea, I will uphold thee with 

the right hand of my righteousness.

Jeremiah 31:2-3

King James Version

2 Thus saith the Lord, 

The people which were left of the sword 

found grace in the wilderness; 

even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, 

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: 

therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Matthew 11:28-29

King James Version

28 Come unto me, 

all ye that labour and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; 

for I am meek and lowly in heart: 

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Luke 15:3-7

King James Version

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, doth not leave 

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together 

his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven 

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; but that the world 

through him might be saved.

John 14:2

King James Version

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: 

if it were not so, I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

John 14:16-17 

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

Romans 5:8-9

King James Version

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, 

in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, 

we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 8:14-15

King James Version

14 For as many as are led 

by the Spirit of God, 

they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received 

the spirit of bondage again to fear; 

but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Romans 8:16-18

King James Version

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, 

that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, 

and joint-heirs with Christ; 

if so be that we suffer with him, 

that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings 

of this present time are not worthy 

to be compared with the glory 

which shall be revealed in us.

Romans 8:21

King James Version

21 Because the creature itself also 

shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption 

into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans 8:26

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for 

as we ought: but the Spirit itself 

maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Romans 8:29-31

King James Version

29 For whom he did foreknow, 

he also did predestinate 

to be conformed to the image of his Son, 

that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, 

them he also called: 

and whom he called, them he also justified: 

and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? 

If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:32

King James Version

32 He that spared not his own Son, 

but delivered him up for us all, 

how shall he not with him 

also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:33-34

King James Version

33 Who shall lay any thing 

to the charge of God's elect? 

It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? 

It is Christ that died, 

yea rather, that is risen again, 

who is even at the right hand of God, 

who also maketh intercession for us.

Romans 8:35-37

King James Version

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 

shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, 

or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, 

For thy sake we are killed all the day long; 

we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things 

we are more than conquerors 

through him that loved us.

Romans 8:38-39

King James Version

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, 

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, 

nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, 

shall be able to separate us from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 10:12-13

King James Version

12 For there is no difference 

between the Jew and the Greek: 

for the same Lord over all 

is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.

Galatians 2:20

King James Version

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; 

yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: 

and the life which I now live in the flesh 

I live by the faith of the Son of God, 

who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Ephesians 3:14-16

King James Version

14 For this cause I bow my knees 

unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of whom the whole family in heaven 

and earth is named,

16 That he would grant you, 

according to the riches of his glory, 

to be strengthened with might 

by his Spirit in the inner man;

Ephesians 3:17-19

King James Version

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; 

that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints 

what is the breadth, and length, 

and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, 

which passeth knowledge, 

that ye might be filled with 

all the fulness of God.

1 Timothy 2:4-6

King James Version

4 Who will have all men to be saved, 

and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, 

and one mediator between God and men, 

the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, 

to be testified in due time.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

1 John 4:9

King James Version

9 In this was manifested 

the love of God toward us, 

because that God sent 

his only begotten Son into the world, 

that we might live through him.

1 John 4:10

King James Version

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son to be the propitiation 

for our sins.

1 John 4:16

King James Version

16 And we have known and believed 

the love that God hath to us. 

God is love; and he that dwelleth in love 

dwelleth in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:19

King James Version

19 We love him, 

because he first loved us.

Revelation 21:1-3

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth 

were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

Revelation 21:4-5

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, 

nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:6-7

King James Version

6 And he said unto me, It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 22:1-2

King James Version

22 And he shewed me 

a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, 

and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, 

which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree 

were for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:3-5

King James Version

3 And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, neither light of the sun;

for the Lord God giveth them light: 

and they shall reign for ever and ever.

This is the day to feel loved.

As GOD would want us to feel loved.

Through His Son, JESUS CHRIST.

As taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Through Scripture.

CAUTION for the VICTORIOUS

 2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

A nagging thought came yesterday.

Soon after Israel's victory in Lebanon.

I set the thought aside.

Waiting for more guidance from SPIRIT.

I didn't want to diminish Israel's hard-won victory.

And I had to be very sure, my feelings were valid.

Today, SPIRIT gave confirmation of my feelings.

Through a video reflecting a rabbi's similar thoughts.

In that video, I learned that Benjamin Netanyahu was once ambassador to the U.N.

No wonder, he knows how to address that body.

I also witnessed his turning to a rabbi, for advice during that period.

As well as a general who turned to a rabbi, for blessing.

In those critical years, from 1967 onward, Israel sought essential spiritual guidance.

And they did a mighty job of it, as the video showed.

But we caution Israel today.

Especially at this moment of victory.

She must not become proud.

Or over-confident.

This rabbi reflected my very concerns yesterday.

Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, JEM’s director, reminded Israel:

"Stay away from hubris. 

Not to swagger, 

and to remain humble."

-- "What The Rebbe Told Bibi Netanyahu 

About A War In Lebanon"

The word "hubris" is defined by Merriam-Webster as:

"exaggerated pride or self-confidence"

Scripture says this about pride:

Proverbs 16:18

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

I also feel there may be little rogue groups everywhere.

Like cancer cells, waiting in ambush.

Out to prove themselves, enjoying a challenge.

Using less high-tech stuff than Israel.

With the intent of humiliating her.

Oh, how they'd love to see her fall.

Especially the big guns have fallen.

What's to stop them from trying?

Israel must be careful about these groups.

We continue to pray for Israel.

Israel acknowledges GOD's power.

She must continue to do so:

Zechariah 4:6

King James Version

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, 

saying, 

This is the word of the Lord 

unto Zerubbabel, 

saying, 

Not by might, 

nor by power, 

but by my spirit, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

1 Corinthians 15:57

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

SPIRIT also called my attention to another trait of Israel.

Which really defines her future, and total victory.

Something she has not really acknowledged.

But something she MUST DO:

Acknowledge JESUS, 

as MESSIAH.

Because I had not really read up on Israel before, I had no idea they did not recognize JESUS.

All the while, I thought, they being Jews, would automatically worship the LORD.

Eight days after GOD made me born again in September 2019, He led me to write this article.

"The Best-Kept Secret in Judaism"

That was a real revelation for me.

That Jews don't know JESUS.

Even converted Jews expressed their own shock at this.

Mostly mortified at themselves, and the rabbis.

Saying, they should have known!

Demanding, why did no one tell them?

Wailing, at their ignorance, as I did with mine.

Here are TONS of TESTIMONIES from GOD's people.

Hear it for yourself.

Israel must acknowledge JESUS as MESSIAH.

It is a declaration from the LORD.

If they are to ever see Him again.

Matthew 23:39

King James Version

39 For I say unto you, 

Ye shall not see me henceforth, 

till ye shall say, 

Blessed is he that cometh 

in the name of the Lord.

May Israel finally acknowledge JESUS as MESSIAH.

May their victory be ever sweeter -- in anything.

Unlike anything they have ever experienced before.

All because they believe in the LORD JESUS.

Who waits for their acknowledgment.

TRUTH about DOCTRINE

 

1 Timothy 1:8

King James Version

8 But we know that the law is good, 

if a man use it lawfully;

What doctrine comes from GOD?

What is sound doctrine?

What is doctrine for?

What is the difference between GOD's doctrine versus man's laws?

SPIRIT led me to these powerful verses that explain everything.

GOD's doctrine is holy.

1 Timothy 6:1

King James Version

6 Let as many servants as are under the yoke 

count their own masters worthy of all honour, 

that the name of God and his doctrine 

be not blasphemed.

It just follows GOD's doctrine is on "godliness".

1 Timothy 6:3

King James Version

3 If any man teach otherwise, 

and consent not to wholesome words, 

even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

GOD is the Source of sound doctrine:

2 Timothy 3:16

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

This is the purpose of GOD's doctrine:

2 Timothy 3:17

King James Version

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

GOD's doctrine was designed for sinners.

I've read many similar verses, but these two are really spot on.

My heart leapt at its precision:

1 Timothy 1:9-10

King James Version

9 Knowing this, 

that the law is not made for a righteous man, 

but for the lawless and disobedient, 

for the ungodly and for sinners, 

for unholy and profane, 

for murderers of fathers 

and murderers of mothers, 

for manslayers,

10 For whoremongers, 

for them that defile themselves with mankind, 

for menstealers, 

for liars, 

for perjured persons, 

and if there be any other thing 

that is contrary to sound doctrine;

That's why JESUS came down from heaven.

To save us sinners.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save 

that which was lost.

John 6:37-39

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again 

at the last day.

Those who reject GOD have no idea how much He loves us.

He sent His only begotten Son.

That we may have eternal life.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

Only the true born again can really understand GOD's doctrine.

He lives for it.

SPIRIT teaches him about it.
