PUT GOD'S LOVE ON IT AND IN IT!!!

SOME MANY MINISTERS, CHRISTIANS, AND BELIEVERS ARE WRITING ME ASKING THIS MAJOR AND VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION, WHERE IS THE LOVE IN THE CHURCHES?

Apostle Winfree James, R, Sr, Social Media Blogger, Christ Messenger, Writer & Publisher:

“the love of many shall wax cold”

Awesome and Powerful Holy Spirit, Our Master Teacher, Teach us: In the last days, the love of many will grow: uncaring, unloving, worldly, selfish, making our own ways, worshipping nature, following worldly ideas, medicated, worshiping things of the world….worldwide just as a current of wind blows through an area so this wickedness will try to consume all.

2 Timothy 3 goes into greater detail: “In the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of His Cross. Phil 2

in Matthew about how Jesus fed the 5000. Jesus had actually gone away to get rest after John the Baptist had died, but the crowd followed Him. I noticed how Jesus put the crowd before His needs. He needed rest, He was probably deeply saddened by John’s death and maybe also consumed with what was ahead for Him. He wanted to have quiet rest time and prayer with the Father, but He put His needs aside for all the people. This is the True Shepherd, He laid down His life and all He had for us. Don’t get me wrong- we all need time to rest and pray... But Christ put the people’s needs first and trusted God to give Him the rest He needed.

Consider your ways

I sense it, do you so many rich television and mega ministries most only care about themselves and their money, things and wealth? It’s as if this selfish cold-hearted spirit is knocking at my door waiting to rule over me. I have to remind you and them to love others. In fact, Don't find yourselves in this condition a real test and a struggle to be caring and loving to others. If I wasn’t grounded in the word and prayer I know I would not have noticed it. Maybe there is an intense war for God’s people going on right now that we don’t see. A verse that comes to mind as I write this is from Revelation 12 “ Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time”

First our enmity and his evil servants, he tries to steal the Word of God from our hearts. Once that is done, we soon begin to make our own ways and our own man-made laws. Second, he tries to distract you from God’s word and promises. He sends arrows of doubt, fear, and worries into your thoughts trying to destroy your faith. Thirdly, he gains a chokehold over you and blocks out God’s word through deceit, riches and all the world has to offer.

Matthew 13:19...Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

We can begin by putting on the warfare we have been given in Ephesians 6 and living by the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. Revelation tells us we can overcome the wicked one by ...the blood of the lamb and by our testimony”. 2 Timothy gives us more insight: follow right doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, and afflictions.

“ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

We were talking about the coldhearted Preachers and Ministry Leadership in the last days. As Christians, I want you to ask yourselves if you have in any way become cold. Keep your eyes open to your ways and thoughts; be careful not to become coldhearted and uncaring for others. I believe there is a strong current, like a mighty force, sweeping through the Churches and its Ministers that we all would become uncaring and unloving to others. Another definition used for this word is breath- putting it all together, it’s as if a strong current is sweeping over people turning their hearts cold towards others.

Besides selfishness, I think sometimes we can become cold-hearted by the cold-heartedness of people around us, but we can’t let that influence us. Jesus is our example of how we should treat others. He didn’t fight or shout, nor did he break the weakest reed ( Which means he didn’t crush those already brokenhearted and weak)... He asked forgiveness for those who crucified Him, can we find that same forgiveness and mercy for others within ourselves?

But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer Persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3 1-17 Amen His Chosen Few!!!.
