Hey Everyone! I hope you all are havig a wonderful week so far! So let me tell you where I hope I can take this blog today. I hope by the end of this blog update that we find some bodies that have been murdered. Hows that for a weird way to start a blog update?
Exodus 20:13 says: 13 “You must not murder." What does the 6th command require?
That e should not revial, hate, injure or kill our neighbor Either by thought,word or look must less by action. So I have a question for you "Is there anyone besides me who has committed murder?
So lets back up and lets take a look at what is at the root of murder.
MURDER - envy,hatred, anger and the desire for revenge.
And God inplies all those as murder. So murder isn't just something we do with our guns and our knives and bodies but its also something that comes from within, it comes from what we do to people and what we say and what we think and even what we write. The American culture does not stop killing. Our attitude towards murder is deturned by what our fundemental belief about what life means. And so as our culture believes in God has declined, murder of attitude and action has been epidemic. We will not stop killing or loving until we get commandment number 1 right. There is a spirit of death and murder that is being released in the nation. The spirit of death and murder is now so persuasive that how many video games can we play that do not include killing? How many movies can we watch that do include a horrific amount of killing? How many activities involve violence. Now I am going to say something that is very contreversial and I do not intend to be hurtful in anyway so I say this very carefully,very respectfully. But it is my opinion that we have affirmed abortion as the law that we have released in our country a spirit of murder. Because if violence can occur here violence will occur everywhere. So now the spirit of murder is out there. So I sometimes wonder why are the emails so loud and angry? Why is our discourse so violent and vial its because there is a spirit of murder that has been released. Jesus says to LOVE. Lets look at Matthew 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. What this means is that, the measure that you sow so you will reap. So lets stop for a second..If murder includes what we think, say and do Jesus never murdered with His tongue, He never murdered with His mind and He never murdered with a knife. Bottomline Jesus never murdered anyone. Jesus is holy and we will be terrified because He is SO HOLY. So can we talk about love for a little bit? I know this is a long blog update but I think this is a great topic to write about and for you to read. So bare with me. 1 John 3: 11-16 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,[b] if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in DEATH. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
So this is not the love that is all kissy and lovey dovey. This is the kind of love that hangs on a cross bleeding bloody murder poured out butt naked as people laugh and mock THATS LOVE. This is waht John is talking about. So hear this God loves life! And when you see someone with a disability physically, mentally or emotionally let me remind you that God loves life! And wether we are tall,small or skinny or fat, young or old, black or white God loves life. I say this carefully. Life is not sacred the issue is not the sacred of life the thing is we have lost the sense that God is creator. When God is not our creator when God does not create and give life then something horrible happens. So 10 commandments if you get the first one wrong then you get the second one wrong and so on and therefore we release a spirit of murder. That is why we can send out emails that are mean. We align ourselves with the evil and the evil one. When I choose to murder by what I say, think or do I just joined the devils team. When I choose to send an email that is mean I just joined the devils team, when I say something in a joking fashion about someone I am making fun of I just joined the devils team. Why? Because I am choosing not to stay in step with the spirit. Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. There is an old Proverb that says " The blood of the dead one is heavy it makes the journey hard. Amen?
Will you pray with me right now?
Merciful God our Father there are many things we casually express hatred and angry for. We confess that we readily say angry words or we think hateful thoughts towards those people who displease us. Yet your word reminds us that anyone who hates a brother or a sister is a murder and no murderer as eternal life. So your holy and annointed words put all our angry and hatred in perspective. So Holy Spirit we ask that you examine our hearts and quicken our responses. Lord bring to our minds those whom we have murdered. Some of us have been painfully violated and seriously abused by those whom we were trained to trust. Help us to see the ways that we are becoming and that we hate. Bring us back to gospel sanity, bring us back to freedom, return to us the joy of your salvation sooner rather than later. We pray this in your mighty name Amen!
Thank you for praying with me.
Now to end my blog I want to end with a song. Its called Speak Life- TobyMac! Enjoy.
Do you speak life to those around you? Or do you speak destruction?
Blessings to all
