JOEL 2:11-14...
11/ The LORD raises his voice at the head of his army; For immense indeed is his camp, yes, mighty, and it does his bidding. For great is the day of the LORD, and exceedingly terrible; who can bear it?
12/ Yet even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning;
13/ Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment.
14/ Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and libations for the LORD, your God.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21...
14/ For the love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died.
15/ He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16/ Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer.
17/ So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
18/ And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19/ namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20/ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21/ For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
MATTHEW 6:16-17...
16/ Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
17/ "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.
MATTHEW 6:48...
48/ So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.
1 PETER 1:13-16...
13/ Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly, and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."
1 PETER 2:9-11...
9/ But you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
10/ Once you were "no people" but now you are God's people; you "had not received mercy" but now you have received mercy.
11/ Beloved, I urge you as aliens and sojourners to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against the soul.
JOHN 15:1-12...
1/ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
2/ He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
3/ You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
4/ Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
5/ I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.
6/ Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned.
7/ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
8/ By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
9/ As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.
10/ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
11/ "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12/ This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
ROMANS 11:16-21...
16/ If the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole batch of dough; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17/ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,
18/ do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider that you do not support the root; the root supports you.
19/ Indeed you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
20/ That is so. They were broken off because of unbelief, but you are there because of faith. So do not become haughty, but stand in awe.
21/ For if God did not spare the natural branches, (perhaps) he will not spare you either.
And, *GOD* did not spare Angels who sinned, therefore, why should we consider ourselves above the Angels, thinking that we CAN live outside of LOVE, in hate, judgementalism, passion of the wrong kinds, and, all sorts of other characteristics which are NOT CHRIST like, nor, premised on the WORD, *GOD*?!? You MUST, truly, READ, and, digest the WORD in it's entirety, to BECOME a branch of the vine worthy of being kept intact, which, involves effort, diligence, constance, and, consistency, as, you cannot learn enough in one lifetime to become HOLY, but, effort accounts for the MERCIES of *GOD*!!!
Be NOT arrogant in your gift of salvation, nor, haughtily expecting that which you may have lost, through your continued living in the carnal world! KNOW that you HAVE to alter your state of existence to align to *GOD*, for the WORD has CLEARLY set the path before you, and, while it is a straight, and, narrow path, marked by LIGHT, it is not an easy one, as it is reverent, formidable, and, consequential!!!
Think of it like this, the world is dark, and, darkness, filled with searching for things that add sparkle, warmth, and, colour, to that darkness, which, the deceiver, well provides for, in hopes of deluding you. AS Children of *GOD*, the SOLE EXISTENCE of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, YOU are LIGHTS, come to LIGHT up the darkness, as GLORY TO *GOD*, that the deceiver, and, all associated with him, KNOW that *GOD* IS, and, ever more shall be! NOW, LIGHT is PURE ENERGY, premised on POSITIVE matter, and, shines for the GOOD of all! Thus, WE can NOT be examples of *GOD'S* GLORY, with darkness entwined in our LIGHT, instead, that LIGHT must be VOID of any taint of the darkness, that it SHINES BRILLIANTLY for all in existence to bear witness to, that which shouts out, "I AM of *GOD*!", and so, we MUST remove any thing that might lessen the LIGHT, or, the GLORY OF *GOD*, for ONLY IN PURITY, does the LIGHT eradicate, and, overwhelm the darkness; there is NO partial LIGHT, it either is, or, it is not, as *GOD* does NOT share ANY space with ANY thing against HIM!!!
I stand in prayer for all of us, that *GOD* will have MERCY on those who ARE attempting, in more than words, to become worthy of HIS gift, CHRIST JESUS, and, the inheritance HE brought unto us! May we ALWAYS SEE that the LIGHT IS ALL THERE IS, all else is deceptive, therefore, dangerous, to our eternal goal!!!
