Hebrews 8:   10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

This passage references Jeremiah 31.  Our Heavenly Father has taken on the responsibility of “writing” HIS Laws on our hearts.  However we have the responsibility to take some actions ourselves.

“Having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus’” is somewhat mysterious to many.  We have the right to go boldly into the presence of Our Heavenly Father.  Our access is assured because of the blood of Jesus as the perfect sacrifice.  When you come into the presence, you are affected by HIS Character.  By exposing yourself on a a daily basis to the Character of Our Heavenly Father, you begin to take on HIS Ways.  HIS Character and HIS Ways are based on Love.  His Laws are based on Love and Jesus summed them up with the two Commandments of Love:

Matthew 22:  37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

If you want something written in your mind and on your heart, you need to expose yourself to it.  You have a responsibility to flee youthful lusts, to pursue peace, to walk in Love.  There are some who believe you simply sit around and wait for Our Heavenly Father to do HIS surgery on you and place HIS Laws on your heart.  The Promised Land had to be conquered.  Our Heavenly Father could have removed all the inhabitants Himself but HE required Joshua and the children of Israel to take action.  We are called to overcome.  One of the greatest battles each of us must deal with is with our own flesh.  By immersing yourself in the study of Love, you take command over your ego.  By walking in Love you establish authority over your flesh.  By giving to others you plant seeds of blessing.  Our Heavenly Father will insure your acts and focus will be rewarded by writing Love in your mind and heart.

As the Law of Love becomes a part of you, your view on the world changes.  Enemies cease being adversaries.  You have greater compassion for the unlovely.  You try to understand the challenges that come before you as opportunities to grow in Love.  You lawless deeds are replaced with righteous acts.  Your thought processes and your priorities change.  What was once important is no longer necessary.  You view life with excitement.  You will be transformed because the Law of Love is being written in your mind and in your heart.  What a glorious journey!

A brother is in need.  He is flat broke, has nothing, and has no job.  I have seen him successful in business in the past.  If you believe that Our Heavenly Father would have you assist in this situation, please send your donation to:

100% of monies received will go out to this brother.  He believes in the restoration of all mankind.  He could use a little Love and restoration himself now.

Galatians 5:6  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.  KJV

In March of 1993, Our Heavenly Father instructed me to go on a missionary trip to Romania.  The pastor of the church we were attending had been focusing on Romania as a missionary field.  Six of us went on the trip:  the pastor and his wife, an auto finance loan officer, retired commander of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, an auto mechanic, and myself.  It wasn’t easy getting into Western Romania at the time.  We flew into Germany, rented two cars and headed to Romania.  We spent the night in Budapest, Hungary and drove to the border the next day.  After being detained at the border for 45 minutes (police were waiting for a bribe), we were finally allowed into the country.

We established our base of operations in Aiud and stayed with a local family the church had been supporting.  The college age daughters acted as our translators.  We split up into two teams.  The pastor, his wife, and the auto finance loan officer were on one team.  The retired commander, the auto mechanic, and myself made up the other team.  Each morning our team would be before Our Heavenly Father to find out who should speak at the meeting that night.  We went to a different village each night.  Once we got the Word, that person would prepare to speak.  None of the three of us particularly cared who would share, we just wanted to minister to the downtrodden people of the village.  Each night brought forth notable healing miracles and salvation.  The meetings began at 7 PM but would extend to midnight at times.  Our faith was strong and it was working by Love.  The anointing of the Holy Spirit was intense and sustained for the entire trip.  The other team had very few results.

What was the difference in the results?  All of our team paid our own way to Romania and expected nothing from the people.  We were there solely based on our Love for the people.  The average Romanian worker received an equivalent $25 USD per month.  We took up no collections nor did we attempt to take anything from the people.  We were there simply to unconditionally Love the people.  None of us were interested in making a reputation among the people.  Our team experienced a taste of the “Tabernacles” walk.  The other team was walking out the “Pentecostal” mindset.

We were there for a total of three weeks.  I now appreciate why Our Heavenly Father wanted me to go on the trip.  There was a great disparity between the two teams.  At the time I had no revelation of “Tabernacles” but was seeing the end of the Pentecostal church age.  The pastor tried to control our group but was unable to.  He tried to create rules that tended to be self-serving.  The rules did not stick.  I believe Our Heavenly Father was giving me a glimpse of what is to come!  Faith needs Love to produce the fruit needed in the current global environment.  The Pentecostal faith movement failed to see the necessity of Love.

Matthew 5:7   Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.  (KJV)

How can any of us have a complete understanding and background of an adversary?  There is only one thing for certain, Our Heavenly Father brought forth that person into the world at their specific time of conception.  Thus only Our Heavenly Father has all the facts and the truth about the adversary.

The mercy seat was above the Law contained in the ark.  The need for mercy in order to come before the presence of THE LORD provides us with a type and shadow that mercy was required so the High Priest would not be killed for his innate sin nature.

We need to be cautious in our relationship with others.  Many are quick to judge without having all the facts.  We are allowed to judge fruit just as Jesus judged the fig tree but we cannot judge the heart of the other person.  That is in Our Heavenly Father’s department.  To the pure, all things are pure.  To the impure, all things are impure.

In these tumultuous times we have plenty of opportunity to judge others.  Men are moving toward desperation and their acts indicate such.  Soon there will be much pruning away of the illusions that many have been living under.  The love of money is the illusion that it can provide sustainable power and prestige.  What happens when the value of your currency depreciates to zero?  If this happens many will need mercy, not judgment.  Mercy promotes growth, judgment does the opposite.

King David made many mistakes during his life.  However the one thing he did do was to seek mercy.  This allowed him to continue his growth to the fullness of his calling.  He opted for mercy when he had the chance to remove his adversary.  But he knew that Saul was the anointed of Our Heavenly Father at the time and would not attempt to judge the Father’s intent.  That was a smart move.

When you are merciful to someone who has wronged you, you acknowledge that Our Heavenly Father can restore whatever was lost.  Over the years I have seen this time and time again.  I have seen those who were habitually lawless suffer greatly, even unto death.  The universe is in balance and Our Heavenly Father will not allow any imbalances to occur for any sustained period of time.  There will be those who apparently got away with lawlessness but I would say that it is only temporary.  The day of reconciliation of the books will arrive.  Maybe not today or tomorrow, but be assured it will come someday.
