BLESSED BY CHOOSING TO LOVE

My Dear Precious Child, When the followers of Jesus Christ learned the fact that I am Love, it was a startling revelation. They had been taught that I am judgmental and punitive, always waiting for them to break a rule or law so that they would be punished by Me through governing authorities. Relious laws had become political laws, much to My consternation as shown through Jesus Christ. When Jesus Christ broke religious/political laws for the benefit of helping people, it was considered rebellion against religious/political authorities and the lawbreakers were deemed to be punished sometimes even to death for the obstruction. One example was when Jesus and His disciples had ministered to people and were tired and hungry. When traveling to the next town on a day of rest which had been declared a day that no labor must be done, Jesus noticed a field of corn and His disciples proceeded to harvest ears of corn to alleviate their hunger. Some legalistic Pharisees saw His disciples harvesting the corn on a sabbath day, confronted Jesus Christ about His disciples disobeying religious/political laws, and they confronted Jesus for His obvious rebellion to priestly and national authorities. Jesus told those judgmental Pharisees that the sabbath laws were not made to judge people who labored on the sabbath but so that people would have a day of rest from labors one day a week to regroup for the next work day. The logic of My Son Jesus Christ was that the sabbath was made for the benefit of man, that man was not made just to observe the sabbath day. (Mark 2:23-28) He told the Pharisees that the Son of Man was Lord of the sabbath. The judgmental Pharisees also were upset about the fact that Jesus Christ healed a woman on the sabbath who was bowed over. She had been crippled 18 years. (Luke 13:11-17) In healing her, Jesus had merely laid hands on the woman and told her that she had been loosed from the infirmity. The hypocritical ruler of the synagogue who viewed the miracle was indignant and challenged Jesus Christ for healing the woman on the sabbath day. His logic was that there were six days on which people ought to work, in other words for the woman to be healed, so Jesus should not have healed her on the sabbath. Jesus called the ruler a hypocrite and told him that if his ox or ass needed water on the sabbath that he would lead the animal from its stall and lead it to water. He said that that woman whom satan had bound for 18 years deserved to be loosed on that glorious sabbath day from her bondage to satan. The crowd rejoiced at the wisdom of Jesus in His showing love to the woman rather than being judgmental like the ruler. Unfortunately for the flesh of Jesus His actions of showing My Love to people led to His being crucified. Fortunately for humanity, because of My Love for humanity He was crucified for the sins of the world, went to hell as payment for all sins, defeated satan in hell, rose from the dead by the power of My Holy Spirit, ministered to people as the Risen Christ for 40 days, ascended into My heaven to sit down with Me, and He sent the source of His power over all evil, the Holy Spirit, to earth to live inside of My children who seek Me and My kingdom of God. The apostle Paul later wrote that now under My new covenant with humanity that My Holy Spirit is Lord in the earth living in the temples of the bodies of My children who have sought Me and found Me. He wrote that the Lord in the earth is the Holy Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is present there is liberty from the works of the devil. (I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:17) He also wrote that in the lives of the Jews there is a veil over their minds that will not allow them to perceive the gospel of Christ; that only the Lord, My Holy Spirit, can remove that veil over their individual minds. He wrote that the people who have turned to Jesus Christ and had the veil removed grow brighter and brighter as they are molded into the image of Christ and that that work comes from the Lord in the earth, who is My Holy Spirit. (II Corinthians 3:18) My power is manifested in the earth in the lives of My Holy Spirit baptized children, just like it was manifested in My Son Jesus when He ministered My Love in the world in the form of healing people from the works of the devil. Your Father of Freedom from Evil
