Where is my faith? Open thoughts

No pointing fingers here these are my lessons open thoughts if you will.

How do we respond to those who do a wrong?
How did Joseph respond to his brothers?
How come Paul stood alone and how did he respond?
How did Steven respond to being stoned?
How did the father respond to the prodigal son?
How did Job respond to the havoc that was allowed in his life?

The fruits are what we are to judge and no where within the fruits of the spirit are anger, judgment or damnation of others.

As we argue have we remembered to feed the hungry?
What about clothing the naked?
What about housing the homeless?
Fathering the fatherless?
Spending time with the widows?
Spinning gold among the hopeless?
Accepting those who have yet to accept Jesus Christ?

Do we have faith in God that He will handle what needs to be handled and that we need only be set on Him and what is to the benefit of the Kingdom?

God is not a liar. He will not divide what he considers Holy like a marriage
God is not a foolish. He does not need you.
God did not do things part way. It is done.
God does not make us confused. People do as well as ourseleves He does not need us to explain things. God makes known what He wants when He wants for the benefit of the Kingdom.

We serve the Kingdom of God or we serve ourselves.
No man is above another and there is none special or elevated. There is Jesus Christ. There is the Holy Spirit. There is God.
God will not spare you for the sake of you martyrs are dying every day in horrific ways alone and ignored.

I am learning but not from man because God desires it. I have faith that what I do not understand I will if I need to for the benefit of the Kingdom of God.
I have faith that if anyone desires God, God is faithful all the time.

Where is our faith?
I will not follow the ones who may preach the truth.
I will not follow the ones who can heal, speak in tongues, have a gift of prophecy or any of the gifts in acts.

I will be careful not to curse those who go against me not even the ones who hate me or would torture me. I will forgive ask that they be forgiven and love them as I am loved.

If any man I don't care who he is causes a rift between peoples who all love God because that person what unfairly treated. Shame on them. If we have fair we would all go to hell.

As we judge go back to what God has said about going to hell. Revelation will answer that there are 2 direct go to hell cards. There is only one unforgivable sin and that can not be used when someone disagrees with you. God knows. God Reveals. God said we would be surprised.

God does not confuse, harm, cause indecisiveness, use others to finish what He has finished, charge money, put anyone in front of another, allow for self elevation or want His words bent, taking without full text or changed to promote what any man would say. God has saved all. Whatever words anyone might need He has already said. We need to put those fruits into practice and stop trying to find the devil and the wrong around every corner. Because as the world spins to it's end those things will only become more and then who and what have we spent or time looking at. Ourselves and evil. How can we be the salt then?

IT IS DONE

Be loved you are and always will be

Regarding Prophets

Not everyone on earth heard individual Prophets of old. Only God has that power for all to see and all to hear. So I am wondering since we are each different in making up the body of Christ could there not be Prophets that well may be within hearing range but that some of us do not have ears to hear?
I am asking from experience sometimes I have heard and understood a Prophet and sometimes in attempting to try to hear it has left me desolate, afraid and shrinking from God. In those cases I am not sure that, that would mean the Prophet is not true, could it not mean that the words are not mine to hear?
Are we not all in a different place on our narrow roads?

Just wondering and would love your thoughts.

Be loved you are. Love now tomorrow is not promised

Lenny Kravitz

I have been a fan since his first album. I dig the way he plays guitar as well as the way he writes music. Since his first album when I heard Flowers for Zoe I guess God told me that this man would be His because I heard something in the music.
Fast forward a few years and I meant and know the people involved in telling him about Christ and helped him accept Christ.

Now he is showing us Christians our folly and the non believers or the open minded there folly.
Here are the lyrics from Bring it on form the love revolution lyrics


Bring It On lyrics

I'm gonna walk by faith
Gonna raise my sword
I'm gonna fight my battle
I'm gonna praise my Lord

It's getting heavy
But I'm ready
To take on this world and rock steady
So come on, bring it on

I'm gonna face my demons
Gonna tear them down
I'm gonna keep on moving
Gonna make my sound

It's getting heavy
But I'm ready
To take on this world and rock steady
So come on, bring it on

Bring it on
Oh bring it on
Bring it on
Oh bring it on

Bring it on
Oh bring it on
Bring it on
Oh bring it on...


Here is the thing I found surfing the web.
Christians are calling him a false Christian.
Non believers are saying he has "sold out"

He has nowhere to go

To the Christians I say how dare you forget where you came from and where the Blood of Christ has brought you.

To the non believers I say listen to the the first album and all the rest his evolution of change is clear and he is the same musician you praised and bought tickets to go see, shame on you that you can only accept what you "think" in your open mind.

Pray for Lenny Kravitz please. Not because there is anything wrong with him but because he is on a lonely road and that can be so much harder. To preach love while being purposefully isolated is one of the hardest things to do.

Be loved you are

Bible Parts

These are parts I am trying to understand better. I bothers me some of the things I have seen that we "Christians" write and say about each other so I am reminding me and maybe you.

How many times are we like the passage below when we feel scared, angry, confused etc.?

Proverbs 6 16-18
16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

We often do not see eye to eye on many things but the passage below is clear or at least to me it is. But I could be wrong, in fact it may be likely I am as I am trying to understand better.

Proverbs 30 5-6
5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

I know some like the passage below is in specific context but I am not sure that means it is not said for understanding in other ways

Jeremiah 8
8 " 'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?

As I am posting these I am understanding that this may be for some but more this about the confusion that seems to be present among myself and many people I have spoken with. I or them may not know what to do so maybe I can remind myself and others what not to do.

Jeremiah 23 30-32
30 "Therefore," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the LORD. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the LORD.

We all know this one below but do we really? do I? not as well as I thought

Matthew 7 1
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

I no longer will listen to anyone who claims to know when this will be because in saying they know they are saying that God is a liar and He is not. It only serves to cause confusion in me when people do this, that makes my vision blurry as well as makes me retreat from the Father.

Mark 13
32"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert[f]! You do not know when that time will come. 34It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

35"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' "

So I am going to study these hope God gives me better understanding but if He does not He is still God, still perfect, still my only hope.
He reminds me below

Romans 3 21-31
21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,[i] through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

I don't know if any or what I posted means anything to anyone else but me. I felt compelled to post what I am trying to learn that's all.

Be loved you are. We should all act like it, me for sure cause I know better
