Agape

4/14/2011

 Felt a need to look up the Lord's admonition on to "Love your enemies" and wondered what greek verb was used for the word "Love" and it was Agape knew it probably would be but just wanted to make sure, as I said much of what I see in my enemy, people see in me, I am left no room for condemnation however heinous the acts, but Agape is not capitulation or surrender I don't think, it is surrender to God but calls on us to put on the Holy Armor of Ephesians 6 to stand. God Agapes us and how is that love manifested? Surely we think of the Cross, we think of the great miracles of the old testament the healing miracles the Lord performed and the Apostles and some who were not Apostles like Steven, the first martyr. This is God's love that He sought us out, revealed Himself to us in the Person of His Son, "You have seen Me you have seen the Father". 
Fathers love is sometimes a rod a staff that brings comfort, comfort knowing He will not let us stray, but it is a way He controls us to keep us safe. Many are the time I have felt the Lord's and our Fathers discipline their switch like mom used to use. It is for our benefit and I am thankful.  Watched Daniel Bauman's testimony on 700 club online, its Fridays show. How he showed love (Agape) to his captors and watched hatred turn to tears. Who do you hate, revile, or persecute maybe no one may be someone you saw on the news, a criminal, or it may be your neighbor, someone who harmed something or someone you love. We are to Agape our enemies and our neighbors and ourselves, the last may be the hardest. Father has cautioned me to watch what I say, know I am afflicted in many ways as I said we need to see affliction in the light of eternity and endure with Love (Agape) if we don't have this for each other we are as dust, if you are in a church which doesn't Love (Agape) then show that Love to them and Father will bless, I am left nothing to do but love for I want to reap what I sow and I as all of us need to sow Love (Agape). Its a big mountain to climb, the Lord will give us strength for He is made perfect in our weakness. 
God bless love from Windy Hill a place of love and also of pain May the Lord set His foot upon this place and establish and confirm His Love (Agape) once again.  Love James Reid Ross

Is Salvation Enough

Reading Choo Thomas book "Heaven is So Real" left me challenging some theories I had developed over the years. Most of what I theorized was based on my personal experience and what Choo wrote is based on her extraordinary experience with the Lord and what He revealed to her to write her book. 
Don't think she is trying to do anything but communicate what she experienced. Also have read Jesse Duplantis book about his visit to heaven.   I will not try to communicate what she wrote but say that I believe you should read the book. It was published by Charisma House.  It seems to challenge many conventional and widely held beliefs about eternal salvation and those who will make it to paradise. Hope you will pick up a copy of it and let me know what you think.  

God bless in Christ  James Reid Ross
