{Acts 16}
The bond of love that connects us because of our Savior, makes us a spiritual body together.
I thank the Lord for leading me here to Christian Chat, it could be like a different planet, but as long as there is light, and it shines from the Lamp of the Lord's word, then, there is nothing we cannot overcome, not by our might, but by the Lord.
I would starve of Love, and spiritual food, if it weren't for here, and of a few online messages, and this is one of them, I've been feasting on for years.
fgtv.org Rev. Lee
This message from the Book of Acts
was a light in the darkness,
Called
Sing A song of HOpe.
To make this short, life is becoming hopeless to many,
news, media, depressing things,
but in
{Genesis 1}
Each time there was
Morning, and there was evening.
The Lord specializes in breaking us free from snares, and chains, of despair, and bondage, just like Paul and Silas, at the dark midnight hour, they were beaten with rods, and they sang praises to God, it was the miracle they needed, there was a earthquake that shook the prison doors, all opened, the chains broke.
Christianity offers us Hope, a morning after the night darkness of despair, to a dawn of blessings, and miracles to take place.
We've been given a command.
{1 Thessolonians 5:16}
Rejoice Always, and Give Thanks, This is God's Will for you in
Christ Jesus.
{Psalm 42:8}
He directs his love and song to me at night
{Psalm 119:62}
At midnight I rise to give thanks in song and praise.
Praising him is the secret of the night of despair turns into the dawn of Hope.
This is a repeat of Rev. Lee's sermon, but not all of it, it goes into more, but this is what ministered to me, in the dark, hopeless moments.
I am thankful to listen to preaching like this, that is not from the flesh, but from the spirit of the Lord.
HIs light.
Give thanks and Praise him, Rejoice Always
So I say thank you to all of you who support Christian Chat, it made a
difference in my life.
Through the love, and many are my brothers, and sisters, in the Lord here.
That are closer than a natural brother, or sister,
not just friends,
but
Family.
Praise Him.

Let's thank him, for this is his will for us, to love him, and he wants to bless our lives, let's not be grumblers, like those who wandered in the desert, and found fault with everything, instead of being thankful in everything, and died off in that wilderness, until each one was buried, in the place of dryness, in the heart, instead of the place of abundance of praise.

Who am I? I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cruel and malicious and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted, the more I am believed. I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become. I'm nobody's friend. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I topple governments and ruin marriages. I destroy careers and cause heartache and sleepless nights. I wreck churches and separate Christians. I spawn suspicion and generate grief, make innocent people cry on their pillows. Even my name hisses. I am gossip.
Fifteen hundred years ago Pope Gregory the Great classified the sins that cause humanity to stumble (the 6th century). He looked at every sin mentioned in the Bible and boiled them down to 7 categories of sin. His list of 7 sins is known as The 7 Deadly Sins. The 7 deadly sins are pride, anger, indifference, envy, greed, lust, and gluttony. The 7 deadly sins include nearly every kind of human sin imaginable. But there is a deadly sin that failed to be included in the list of the 7 deadly sins. The 8th deadly sin is gossip.
All the sins of the tongue are deadly. Profanity, insults, lying negativism, complaints, and criticism are all harmful. Gossip is a particularly deadly sin. Gossip has destroyed more people, tarnished more reputations, broken more friendships, and split more churches than any sin I'm aware of. Gossip is quickly told, quickly heard, and quickly spread. Worst of all, gossip is quickly believed. People will confess to theft, adultery, even murder. But no one confesses to gossip.
The book of Proverbs warns us of the deadly allure of gossip as well as its deadly effects over and over again.*Proverbs 18:8*says, "The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts." Whether we admit it or not, we have a fascination with gossip. That's why talk shows and grocery store tabloids are so popular. Proverbs says gossip is like a tasty morsel that we like to savor. Gossip is like a hot fudge sundae made with Blue Bell ice-cream. Gossip is like peach cobbler with real whipped cream. Gossip is like steak and lobster. Gossip is like an all you can eat buffet with a desert bar. We can't get enough of it.

* Proverbs 18:8 *The true reality of the ugliness of the heart that is like a cold serpent, without any love. This describes gossip. It is one of the sins God hates. For it*destroys*a person's character and the bible says, that it is a murderous spirit in that person, because it is like*assassination*of the persons character. In the Jewish religion, it is*assassination, compared to the murder of the spirit of man. The bible says "no murderer shall inherit the kingdom of God. If you hate your brother your a*murderer*in your heart. If you hate, it will spill out from your mind, into your mouth, and out of it. It is sowing darkness, and poisoning*thoughts. It is nothing different than going*around*slaughtering people. The Lord knows how to deal with this, what a person sows is what is on the way to you. Some didn't believe, some still don't, some never will. God is love. Love is his character, hatred, jealousy, envy, gossip, and all the rest of the*unrighteous*fruits of evil, are not from him, but from the devil. PUtting up decorations, is nothing, the bible says, put on the ornament of love, it also says, your nothing but a dead tomb, decorated with death inside of you. It tells it like it is. FAther in Jesus name. I pray that people's hearts will turn to you, and turn away from the death of sin of gossip, for it is not from you, it destroys, it's destructive, from evil, and construction is from a good God, who makes the sun shine both on the wicked, and the just. But he did say this, you are of your father the devil, he was a liar from the beginning." And there is no truth in him, when he speaks of a lie he talks about himself." ON these days where things are tacked around displaying death, blood, and other things,*pumpkins, I like fall leaves, but it also says, "what ever a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." What are you displaying, what are you saying. It*doesn't*take long, before the slip of the tongue, becomes a long sentence, that started with just a few words, but they never stopped, and those words, manifested into an*environment*where they are taking that person, and it is not freedom, but the words, wrote you a sentence, that never stopped with a period, and now has a key attached to it, a door, and lock, and the key is in someone*else's*control. The book of James talks about that no man can tame the tongue, it's an unruly member, that sets fires into people's minds, and hearts, that spread from the gates of hell.
I will tell you to repent. For each one of us, were on God's mind, he called, some never answered. REvelation the last book of the bible says, this "BEhold I stand at the door and knock, if any man open the door I will come in with him, and be with him. NO room at the Inn, now no room in man's hearts, for knowing him. Right from*wrong, Life from death, love or hate. *John the baptist said, REpent, for the day of the Lord is at hand. It's not a sin what goes into a man, but what comes out of him." Another verse, you could look it up, is this "life and death are in the power of the tongue," it*doesn't*mean you could curse people, it means, you feed your self with what you say, to other's or about others, it goes back into your spirit, *speak life, it will come , speak death, it will be your next meal. Those who bless other's shall be blessed, those who curse others even their character, will be cursed, it is*life's*principle, what you sow is what you reap. It's not your game. Those are God's rules. *It is God's rules, there is order in life, there is order in the universe, when everything was in chaos, he made order out of it, day and night, and reality, and success, friendship, love, all come from having a pure heart, to want to connect with others, not to hate them. It is God's creative order. There were some people that spewed hatred, mother to mother, and that mother was put into a mental hospital, her children taken, because she was unfit, to be able to sustain a stable home that would build, nurture, and love her children, she was deemed unfit, because of her hatred. There needs to be love to thrive, even when children see the hatred in their parents, and hear them talk it makes them sick, or will because those words go into their spirit, and weaken them, and the curse goes on, as the bible says, "the sins of the parents are handed down to the children." Look it up. Want to give your children a good life, give them a heart that is able to love. Having everything else is meaningless. Corinthians talks in chapter 13, that if I have everything, and have not love, I am nothing but a loud noise, nothing, nothing at all. NO meaning, no value, no virtue, not even close to the Proverbs 31 women, that speaks about that, "Kindness is on her tongue." She speaks well of her neighbors, and does not*meddle*into their affairs, but works with her own hands, makes a garden, etc. She is the Virtuous women, and her price is far above Rubies.*

John 13:34
A new commandment I give you
Love one another, even as I have loved you.
*********
YaY,
God himself gave Moses the Ten commandments.
There very much mentioned in the New Testament.
It is the purity of heart to not want to covet , as it
is being jealous of someone else's possessions.
Corinthians 13 writes
That Love is not Jealousy.
THe commandments are good, even as everything is good that was created and said and it is good, in the book of Genesis, from the start.
Jesus and the Father are one, also the HOly Spirit,
John 17 says so, I and the Father are one.
Will you obey what he is saying, will you love others, instead of hating them, being jealous, for Love is not jealous.
It is God's word, saying this through the Son, " A new commandment"
He wants us to obey.
Love one another.
YOu don't need to even talk to another, but love works in many ways, it does not gossip, it is not jealous. It does no ill towards it's neighbor.
YOur not going to please or worship the Lord, like
I'm going to cook a dinner like for the Lord, and then eat it yourself.
Things pertaining to the flesh, and the material things, are nothing to the Lord.
To worship God, is to worship him, like this;
IN Spirit, and in Truth.
{John 4:24 God is a Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him, in spirit and in truth.}
Just like those who tried to build a tower to heaven, to reach him, with material things, bricks, etc.
The kingdom of God dwells within us, as we believe in Jesus.
He and the father are one.
The story of the Rich man who died, and went to hell, said, send someone to tell his brother about this place, so he won't end up here. He was told that there is a great divide, a very tremendous gap, between earth, and hell, and heaven.
They say it's a thin line between love and hate, it is, and sometimes we fall over onto the wrong side, but once there, it is often hard to get out of, it is deep, dark, and destructive, in the fact that once your in hate, it just keeps winding around you, like a root, wrapping it'self around you, holding, binding, and it's the saying, Christ, came to set the captive free, the bound, to be loosed.
Only Jesus has the power to deliver, heal, and set free.
So it is better to obey, what it says, it's like a road, that says,
DANGEROUS ROAD CALLED HATE, JEALOUSY
DO NOT ENTER.
It is a command given to us.
********
A story when I was living in the town I went to school.
One of the neighbors had 2 sons, and one went swimming in a place
where the sign said
NO SWIMMING ALLOWED
He died there, and it was such a loss, he was a nice guy.
Disobedience from what the Lord says, is separation from him.
We all sin, and fall short of wanting to be what we want to be, but there's always tomorrow to start anew.
Hate is spiritual death, the bible says this.
Don't go there.
Like a parent saying to their children, don't go there.
Father is saying, don't go there.
Disobedient, Rebellious, and stubbornness, could change,
it's the falling short.
Baby's don't have any teeth, they only drink milk, until they grow.
Those who have teeth, are able to eat meat.
Grow up in the knowledge of the Lord.
Growing up is a change,
children have temper tantrums,
were told to have (self control,) which is one of the
9
Fruits of the Spirit of God.
It is growing up.
Some just read the word, listen to it, then vomit it out, bulimic, purging it, spiting it out, so then you wont grow.
Plain and simple.
A new commandment I give you
Love one another, even as I have loved you.

[h=3]2 Timothy 2:20-21: Vessels for Honor and Dishonor[/h]
2 Timothy 2:20,21 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
***********
The Lord uses fire to cleanse us from the impurities in our spirit, to be a vessel unto honor. It says, God is a consuming fire. When you get him within you, he will consume and burn away the chaff, the impurities.
This is a yielding process, if you don't like the touch of fire you stay away from it, but if you hurt, are wounded, the fire of the Lord, heals. It takes out that decay, and decomposing death, from our spirit.
It is not that fire from hell, that torments eternally,
It is a holy fire, of love, that heals, destroying impurity.
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
