Israel, usually, has increasingly, incredible tourism. The most open, loving, heart traveling to Israel, is longing to hear The Word of God spoken by His Only Son Jesus Christ.
The Open Heart to Jesus wants to hear what Jesus would say to their heart. Jesus Christ,
Living Word of God made Manifest.
The Word of God, alive and active, is really for those who open their hearts to Jesus - in all generations.
Then the righteous will shine
like the sun
in the
Kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears, let him hear.
God Is Good. God Is Not Hard To Please.
Rick Warren, as he retired, gave a sermon that year about being lied to by the people we love, in marriages, families, careers, communities, neighborhoods and Churches. Not violently, but in discouragement. Like Lucy always pulling down Charlie Brown. Or in quiet control masquerading as love. In Jesus Christ, Instead! Listen by the renewing of our minds to the Love and Encouragement of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ the Lord. Case in point, Sam Walton was told by almost everyone he couldn't build Walmart. Walmart saves everyone money. And in doing so, builds of the shelter of family Love. Love is not a misery maker. Love is satisfied and does not always cry more. Love wants the best. We all have limitations, to be loved and appreciated, encouraged, but the Scriptures are constantly about reaching past muck, lies, coldness, harshness, violence, harsh conditions and terrible people in bad situations to victory. Love never fails.
Yes, God wants to meet everyone.
God has said there is evil and there is the point of second death. Revelation is the sorrow of God losing one of His Children. If one child is murderous of the other in mentally or physically, then they cannot be included.
We must have what Isaiah 7 says, we pick The Good.
1 Corinthians 13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels,
but do not have love,
I am only a resounding gong
or a clanging
'Symbol'.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom
all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith
that can move mountains,
but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor
and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,
but do not have love,
I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
5 It does not;
dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not
delight in evil
but
rejoices with the truth.
Love always
protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Verse 3. If Love demands sacrifice and personal sacrifice by put downs. Because it is a form of money generating, and control. Love is not Love. It is a cult. For example, a widow or widower is picked and told you aren't all that and your family is far away and unloving, give to us, and we might find you pass muster. At least you did something, sneer. Or... find your all useful to us.
Case in point, my first cousin Maxine (an only child at age 83, with no children) gave 1/5 of her capital to have her father honored. She was promised, for her secular donation, that her father, who had done much for the State of Texas, would have his name on a pillar of the building. No name was put up. Cult. Edward's, family member, gave money for parks in her college town. Her encouragement was Benjamin Franklin giving money to the parks of Philadelphia in 200 years. Edward's father had to hire an attorney to negotiate a lawsuit to get the bank to release the trust to parks. No new park was created. Instead, new park equipment and renamed the old park her name. Not her Will and Testament. Not her full trust put into the Parks.
Deuteronomy says the corrupt will take the house of the widowed.
And remember how much Wounded Warrior does for $11, When compared to other charities asking $42 a month without accreditation of action. Love gives Love.
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves,
be as wise as serpents
and innocent
as Doves.
The difference, in Love, is vast.
Give Generously to Love. Forgive. Mend. Give your old car to help your loved one. Give to your far-flung family. Give to the Church helping in joy, in hard times, to the substance abuser. The Joy and Love Bringers. Give to the Ones helping the Culture to overcome. Give to the Joy Bringers. Hope for the best.
When we look to the Scriptures to find examples of this, we find several.
John cries out, God is Love. God of encouragement.
Matthew tells us to repent and find new life.
Gideon is given a sign of the least of his least clan.
A wet fleece. An almost childlike sign for a man to be a warrior. And the Lord would come back and give this sign again.
Elijah went against the establishment.
1 Kings 18, Elijah tells us the establishment was amused and set to take down childish Elijah's faith. Elijah was going to ride well past the naysayers.
Elijah won in the Holy Spirit and won Big.
And Elijah was almost crawling, the next day, in
A Great and Might Wind appeared.
The Lord is The God Almighty, Alpha and Omega.
The Ancient of Days.
The Wind of the Lord blows where it wishes, and you hear His sound, but we do not know where The Wind of the Lord comes from or where this goes. So is everyone. Who is born of the Spirit.
Who has been the counselor of The Lord.
The Lord in His Kingdom, His Power and His Glory
had acted before in moving mountains, we call earthquakes.
The Lord in His Kingdom, His Power and His Glory
had acted before in fire, not consuming even the burning bush, and would have His Holy Spirit appear in the Fire of the Holy Spirit.
The Word of The Lord
The Lord helped Elijah with food and then put His Word back into the needy Elijah.
A gentle whisper, a small voice, a gentle wind of the Holy Spirit, a still small voice, the soft whisper of a voice. The Word of God. Within Elijah.
The Scriptures are like Jesus crying out, the Last Day of the Festival, in John 7:
Jesus proclaimed, as He taught in the Temple,
"You know Me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He Who Sent Me is True, and Him you do not know. I know Him, for I am come from Him, and He Sent Me."
We follow the example of Jesus.
He listened to His Father and His Father's Love and Encouragement. Even that very day, the holy Brothers of Jesus, of Mary and Joseph, His Beloved, mocked Jesus and told Him to perform. To grandstand and show His Greatness. Let it be a good performance.
Jesus did not stand up to condemn His Brothers.
He would wait for them and pray, knowing Love would not fail.
Jesus knew in the renewal of His Mind where He would listen and hear.
When Jesus had "The Talk" about Who Jesus Is, He had a question for His Disciples.
Matthew 16:13
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi,
He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
Before Social Media, before music was available by pushing a button or asking Alexa,
when music was scarce. Before radio, television, computer phones. Before travel was at the speed of sound. Jesus knew how many voices and words, implications, insults, false praise and genuine concern from loving hearts. The confusion of the snake and Eve. What power will we listen to. Confusion of the people Jesus Christ loved so very much. His great compassion. Jesus knew the voices of every day. What we hear. Our place. Our put downs. His People longings and dreams.
Jesus was saying upon the Rock, Listen to the Lord in our Heart.
Remain truehearted.
Remain open-hearted.
Remain in Faith, Hope and Love. Renew our minds in His Word.
Know the Scripture, Know the Power of God.

Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.
