Love will not leave me as I am but calls me to higher ground...

Father,
We thank You for everyone who visits this site today. Help them to know they are loved by You. Help them to discover what being made in Your image means.
Today we pray for the bruised, the broken, the confused and the lost. We pray for those in hiding, unable to face the past, and unable to move forward. We pray for those running from reality, from fear, from expectation and from truth. We pray for babies, children, youth, adults and seniors in pain.
May they hear Your voice, and experience Your presence. May they allow Your healing touch. May they not commit suicide. Save their soul. Set them forever free. May they be totally transformed by Your presence. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

There is a difference between hurting and harming someone. Often times we fail to act for fear of hurting others. Yet in doing nothing that person is harmed in the long run. If I act feelings may temporarily be hurt, but if the advice is taken on board, later on the person is better for the journey.
Tough love helps build good relationships. The most dysfunctional relationships are often formed by nice people. God is not nice He is kind.
Continuing on the series #GoodRelationships. #Rule6
In building good relattionships it is neccessary to examine the hidden motives which drive dysfunction in my relationships.
This is my #testimony (Psalm 78:6-8). Inspite of this global season I can say I am grateful and contented. Grateful my name is in the Lamb's book of life, for God's presence, and for the many answers given. Contented in my inheritance in Christ, and for God's lavish generosity allowing sharing with others.
Each who has made Christ Lord is like a cactus growing in desert places. Only God causes things to grow in desert places. As a cactus we thrive, spread and abound in this season. Why? Because united with Christ we were made for desert places. The toxicity of the soil, extreme daytime heat, nighttime frost, and limited annual rainfall all work together for good, causing us to launch forward into new dimensions.
Many desert plants have salt pumps in God's manifold wisdom to pump out excess toxic salts allowing the toxicity to stay outside. The leaves as spines reduce water loss, water as a matrix in the flesh resists freezing and drought. To become a cactus submit to 2 Peter 1:1-13.

Investigate which persons, cities, people groups, and countries have been hardest hit to date. What do they have in common?
The only way to ride the waves is to flee idolatry. God will not be mocked even by His own Church. Count the costs of idolatry to determine if you and your family can afford to pay.
Revelation 22 lists those who are unable to enter God's city because of dirty robes. Many violate the 5 sins of idolatry, but Exodus 20:4 is either ignored, unknown or blatantly rejected. If you are an object of wrath because of idolatry you cannot escape. COVID19 is not judgement it is correction. God rejects idolatry and calls for repentance Acts 17:22-31 - ignorance of God's word is no excuse.
#Rule5
In building #GoodRelationships I acknowledge that I have limits and do not allow others to push me beyond those coping limits.
I also recognize that I must respect the limits of others.
#RespectingLimits
#Power #Powerless
In building #GoodRelationships I must acknowledge and do what is in my power to do.
I should not focus on what I am powerless to do.

Luke 21:26
The book of Revelation contains the timetables of prophecy events. There is no contradiction in Scripture -only in man's understanding. One timetable concerns the Church and the other Israel and the nations.
We are in the final stages of the year of God's favour (Isaiah 61). The Church must complete its work now. As long as the Holy Spirit remains assigned to the earth we have a fighting chance.
THE RAPTURE occurs in Revelation 11. The beast cannot be revealed before the Holy Spirit is removed. The beast is revealed in Revelation 13. Only then will the mark of the beast be introduced. Stop reacting in fear. You have been given the timetables years in advance. Get on with your work. This is what you have control over. The mark of the beast connects worship with trade.
Also note God's universe is ordered. He alone determines times, seasons and population deaths (Acts 1:7; 17:26,27,30-31; Revelation 6:7,8)
