BONDAGE TO DOCTRINE

My Dear Precious Child,
    Have you ever considered this:  When you are in bondage to religious or politically partisan laws, you are blocking My grace and mercy from being extended to someone in pain, either emotional pain or physical pain?  For instance, when Jesus was under old covenant laws because of his family heritage, it was illegal politically and religiously for Him to do any work on the day of rest.  Yet, on the national weekly day of rest when he saw a man who needed to be healed, Jesus extended My mercy to the man and healed him, which angered the politicians and religious leaders who accused Jesus of breaking the political and religious laws. 
  To the leaders who were dedicated to keeping religious and political laws instead of extending My mercy to people, the laws were more important than the man who was in emotional and physical agony from having a withered hand.  (Mark 3:1-6) Jesus knew My heart, that I had compassion for the man, and so He was merciful and compassionate in healing the man.  Jesus was persecuted for doing the RIGHTEOUS thing by healing the man instead of His doing the RIGHT thing according to religious and political laws which was to obey the laws. Through that scenario it is apparent that there is a difference between law and grace, that difference being the attitudes between the religious and political leaders who judged Jesus for not obeying the laws and the different action of Jesus in extending mercy to the man by healing him.
   That real occurrence is a perfect picture of the difference between making gods of religious and political laws and the different motivation of letting Me be your Godly Father who impresses you to relieve the suffering of people even on occasions when it is illegal according to religious and political laws.  You will often be persecuted for doing the righteous thing, just as Jesus was.  The religious and political leaders were so angry that Jesus had the nerve to heal someone on their religious day of the week that they put in motion a plan to kill Jesus, the righteous One who did the righteous thing.  I said that you are blessed by Me when you are persecuted for doing something RIGHTEOUS because My kingdom of heaven belongs to you.  (Matthew 5:10)
   National laws are necessary to supply the need for order in a nation, to also protect people from criminal acts, and to supply resources for the unfortunate people who have experienced devastating actions in their lives.  The problem is when religious and political leaders use their civil authority to add burdens to any of the people of a nation instead of relieving their burdens, as is their elected official duties.  Then is when the religious and political leaders become opposed to My plan for that nation because they have burdened the people instead of relieving their burdens.  When they take from the poor to enrich the already rich, then they are adding burdens to the less fortunate.  Then they have used their national authority to oppress people with burdens instead of relieving their burdens. Because of those actions on the part of the political leaders, curses from hell come upon their nation because they are doing the will of the devil instead of My will in the lives of people.  The devil floods their nation with droughts, floods, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamies, tropical storms, temperature extremes. political uprisings and other tragedies.  But when the political and religious leaders do My will in their nation of relieving burdens from the backs of already cursed and bruised people, then I am given permission by their leaders to bless their nation because they are doing the righteous thing of relieving burdens instead of the demonic political thing of adding burdens to the back of the less fortunate people.
   Remember that I said that My kingdom of heaven is reserved for the peacemakers and the people who are persecuted for doing RIGHTEOUS acts of love to others. Jesus said it is what the political and religious laws of a nation do to the maimed, the crippled, the poor, the lame, the blind and the diseased people that determines whether the nation is fortunate enough to receive My blessings because they have sown seeds into My kingdom of mercy. (Luke 14:11-14).  If the leaders of a nation oppress the people of racial and religious differences and add burdens to the backs of already cursed people, the politicians are acting in the will of the devil and that nation will be cursed with destruction and devastation by the devil because they have sown seeds in hell which grow plants of destruction and death in the earth. (Romans 3:10-22)  There is a choice that you have between ignorance of Me and My will, and your having an intimate knowledge of Me and My will.  My children must always make the choice to do actions of love.
   Blessing My children who live in the earth is My greatest pleasure, but I can't bless you when you are doing the will of the devil in the earth.  Your actions of doing the will of the devil in the lives of My other children will cause you to inherit the devil's curses.  Doing My will causes you to inherit My abundance of blessings because you have chosen good over evil.  Never forget that what you do to the least of My children, you do to Me.  (Matthew 25:40)
