The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 4:
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
19 We love Him because He first loved us.
The word “perfect” means full grown, adult, of full age, mature; lacking nothing. We must prepare ourselves for the “day of judgment” and it will surely come. The worldliness continues to infiltrate the thinking of those who have been exposed to FATHER’S Word but have allowed themselves to become blinded as they walk in the flesh.
Agape Love allows me to be patient and longsuffering with the current condition of the world as it moves toward the fullness of iniquity. Every day there are headlines of men and women fulfilling the lust of the flesh, many of them are targeting our children.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 2:
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
The Amplified version of verse 16:
16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world.
There is no stability in the economic system as the world’s central banks are desperately trying to keep the current system propped up by all means at their disposal. They will be unsuccessful but the only question is when will that fateful day occur? We were warned back in 2007-2008 when we were literally hours from a full economic meltdown. That near meltdown has been acknowledged by those who were involved yet nothing has been fixed or altered. I find the blindness to be utterly amazing. This same blindness prevailed in 1999 before the technology bubble burst. This is a perfect example of the pride of life.
The lust of the eyes has been promoted by the multimedia exposure associated with technology. “Soft pornography” has infiltrated television shows and movies causing many to be desensitized to what is going on before our very eyes. As a result of this desensitization, the lust of the flesh has become socially acceptable and is moving toward the extreme.
Peter wrote by THE SPIRIT in his second epistle chapter 2:
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;
5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked
8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
Do you think that FATHER will allow the current lawlessness to continue without bringing forth judgment as HE did when HE condemned Sodom and Gomorrah? Those self-willed, worldly people who despise authority will not be given a pass but will suffer correction in some notable manner. Repent, for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand!
The world wants to redefine the unalterable Word in order to support their lawless ways. It is simply not going to happen. The world wants to fix problems with new laws when the solution lies with people submitting to the WORD. As an example, we don’t really have an abortion problem. We have a lust of the flesh problem. Unwanted pregnancy is the result of the lust of the flesh. Once prayer was removed from school, the lust of the flesh began to grow dramatically among the young. Removing GOD from our schools caused our children to no longer acknowledge the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY as supreme. We now are dealing with generations of men and women who have little or no moral compass.
FATHER continues to prepare the Sons and Daughters for the coming day of judgment and the Word will prevail as It always has. Righteousness cannot be snuffed out by the lawlessness of the world. It never has and it never will!
