FATHER’S wrath or HIS passion does not stand in conflict with His love, but it is paired most intimately with it in GODLY harmony. HIS wrath HE pours out upon the false teachings and treacherous systems which hold HIS people in error and bind them in captivity; however, HIS love HE sheds upon His people which collectively He calls HIS own, HIS Beloved, HIS Bride! Once FATHER’S people are cleansed from their idols and defilement, they will be in a position to shine as HIS glorious light upon the nations and bring deliverance to a sin-sick and judgment-weary world, when “the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the water covers the sea”.
In John chapter 7 Jesus spoke:
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
When The Holy Spirit takes up residence in us, living waters should begin to flow from us to those who thirst for the Truth which is the knowledge of THE LORD. When Truth comes forth then judgment arrives as well for the purpose of correction and restoration. How can you expect blinded people to be fully accountable for their error when they cannot see? FATHER is merciful even in HIS judgment for HE only brings forth correction as needed to fit the issue at hand. On the other hand, bloodthirsty people would have everyone else burn for eternity as though they had never sinned themselves. We must keep in mind that we have all fallen short and none are worthy except by The Blood of Christ.
If we are being exposed to dead works which produces no fruit then why continue to participate? Unless FATHER has placed us there to speak to those dry bones, let us depart and not subject ourselves to such error. The more sensitive to THE SPIRIT we become, the less often will we subject ourselves to unfruitful teaching and “noise”. There will be times when FATHER slows us down in order to make a point. Rather than resist, we should embrace that time and seek out what FATHER is trying to tell us without outside interference.
In John chapter 8 Jesus spoke:
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Anything that does not reflect or represent Truth is bondage. This is why we must guard ourselves against opinions, doctrines, and traditions of man. You can be assured that they will some how create bondage in order to keep you in submission to them. When the standard of Truth is raised up, it breaks those bonds by exposing them for what they are. If we are to walk fully in the Truth then we must abide in the Word of FATHER, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. This is done by putting on the mind of Christ and seeing life through His eyes. By walking in this manner are we able to judge with righteousness and mercy in the balanced manner by which FATHER judges.
Being a disciple of Christ necessitates having the same mind and responding in the same manner. Our flesh has died and we no longer submit to fleshly ideas and positions. With the mind of Christ we are able to become one with Christ as does the bride with the bridegroom. There is no separation or independence from the other but both Love in full unity and those bonds cannot be broken.
In Psalm 89 it is written by THE SPIRIT:
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.
15 Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
They walk, O LORD, in the light of Your countenance.
16 In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
Man’s court system does not rule in the same manner. Truth and justice are secondary to ungodly mammon and the exploitation of the poor. The good ol’ boy network continues on its path to destruction and when Truth arrives there will be gnashing of teeth. Mystery Babylon will fall quickly as the light of the Sons who have the Mind of Christ expose the fallacies of the current system’s foundations. The Truth will make you free.
Truth and mercy exist in perfect harmony in those who have taken on the Mind of Christ. Each day we should be focusing on being one with FATHER even as Christ is One with HIM. As we do we take on HIS Character of Love and will be able to walk in full harmony IN HIM.
