Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

"LOVE GOD, AND DO AS YOU PLEASE"

Greg Laurie - Saturday, December 29, 2018

"Love God, and do as you please."

  

Jesus replied, "'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment."

—Matthew 22:37–38

There are a lot of people who say they love God, but sometimes we wonder about that because their actions seem to contradict it.

Matthew’s Gospel tells us about an occasion when the religious leaders came to Jesus with a trap. They were trying to get Him to identify the greatest of the commandments. But instead of answering their question, He tells them how to love God and what it actually means.

Jesus said, 

“‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37–40 NLT). 

Jesus got to the heart of the matter about loving God.
To loosely paraphrase, Jesus was saying, “Guys, instead of trying to focus on all of these rules, try this. Just love God. If you love God as you ought to love Him, then everything will fall into its proper place.”

That is why Augustine, one of the early church fathers, said, “Love God, and do as you please.” 

That almost sounds insane, but it isn’t. 

If you really love God in the way the Bible tells you to love Him, then you’ll want to do what pleases Him.

When you love God “with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind,” it means that you love Him with every part of your being. 

To the ancient Hebrews, the word heart did not refer as much to the emotions as it did to the core of one’s being. 

For the Christian, the objective is not to focus on your heart; it is to focus your heart on God.
