Good Morning Friends issue 72

Mat 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

You are beginning to be devoid of feelings toward others who need to know of My mercy and grace as well as in need of compassion. How can this be after the great love and forgiveness I have shown unto you? Why are you withholding love from the least of your brethren? When did you begin to judge so rashly?

Beloved, I ask you to be an extension of Me in this world so that others may have a glimmer of hope. If you will ask Me to increase your love daily for others you would see sinners turn to Me. You would then know the blessings I reserve for those representatives of Mine that show forth compassion and mercy.

Do not merely choose and select the few that should be deserving. Go and show forth My glory to each person that I place in your path. Keep your heart fixed upon Me as I enable you to be generous. Remember how much I have forgiven you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

A humble time of examination as to whether we pick and choose our needy cases and if we show forth understanding with helps toward all people that the Lord makes us familiar with.

Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Child, you do not do well when you keep count of that one that offends you. My answer to My disciple and to you as well is to forgive indefinitely, as I have forgiven you. I keep account, I see the wrong doing, against you and I am aware of your struggle.

It is necessary for you to keep your peace within. Make it your constant practice to forgive. I have a purpose in requiring you to be graceful and loving. Come to Me quickly when these fractions occur. Come and reason with Me. Let Me comfort you and enable the Holy Spirit to give you the power needed to forgive this one that troubles you.

My mercy is unlimited. Allow Me to see you extending grace. Much good shall come forth from your obedience in loosing these affronts against you and allowing Me to judge rightly.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

May the divine act of extending forgiveness to others be impressed upon us and be enabled through the power of our great and merciful Savior.

Mat 18:19-20 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

You must assemble together in harmony by My name. Your whims shall not be granted, as some add that type of favor to these words that I spoke. The unity and worshipful practices of those petitioners that gather together, that look to Me with intent to honor Me will then have My authority to proclaim a petition that I shall grant.

I am your divine Mediator. The Holy Spirit teaches you to pray. The words you present to Me shall not be your words but My injunction shall flow through those that represent Me on earth. Can you trust Me that I have put that holy desire in you and that your petition shall come then into being? Do you yet have that faith and intimacy with Me and unity in the assembly that shall see your prayers granted? Meditate on My words to you. Be comfortable in your seeking Me. You have the assurance that I am with you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

As we walk in purity of the Word, Jesus' desires become our desires. He longs for us to know our authority power in His name. He has established that it glorifies Him to answer prayer. Let us honor the Lord with our desire that His name be known as Mediator and Advocate.

Mat 18:15 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

I cautioned My disciples not to give offence and to forgive. I explain here the first step of reconciliation when one sins against you by abusing, defaming, or in being injurious to you. It was never intended to be meant for if you should have a difference of opinion with others. It is meant for when you have been aggrieved by a person who has sinned before heaven and against you.

It was never meant that you should gossip, retain anger, suffer resentment, and retaliate. It is meant that you come privately to your brother and reason with him. Perhaps he also will see it as a sin and beseech forgiveness before Me and before you.

I am asking you, My beloved, to follow the order that there is in My Kingdom. Will I not be there with you and with them and shall not My favor toward you be known? Seek reconciliation before this festers. Seek My peace in this and perhaps your brother will listen.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

A powerful lesson on the difference between what we perceive to be sin and what is an act that brings estrangement from God. May the affronts against us be worthily perceived and divinely guided working toward forgiveness, cleansing, and reconciliation to God's glory

Mat 18:12-14 How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Beloved, do you know how much I value the lost? Do you know what I truly meant when I declared I was the Good Shepherd? Do you believe that one can stray from the flock without My loving and persistent seeking to bring that one back into the fold?

I have My eye upon the loved one you are concerned for. In that day that they return to Me, we both shall have great cause for rejoicing. My gaze goes beyond yours, and in the distant I see their need for Me even before they cry out. I am waiting to lead them back. I need not drag them back for the day comes when they will hear My voice and willingly follow. My sheep know My voice and will follow.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

There is no shepherd like Jesus who laid down His life for His sheep. With all our heart we must believe in His given name of the Good Shepherd.

Mat 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Child of Mine, You struggle with the law, you wrestle with the ungodly, and you dwell on the inconveniences of life. I came to earth but to save the lost. All had gone astray. None did right. I introduced them to God the Father and invited all to come to Him through Me. That is what your priority should be. When you dwell on each soul and the desire for their salvation, you are honoring and serving Me and I will bless you abundantly.

You were once lost. You did not know Me. You did not know there was a washing for your sins. You were not aware that eternal life waited for you. It took a yes to Me. In the moment you became saved. There was much thought and experience that led up to that yes, was there not?
Will you be patient and loving and kind to those that have not yet said yes to Me? Can you see that it is for those very ones that I came to show the way? And it is why I need your loving and patient voice and actions to continue to point the lost to Me. Be encouraged in all that you do for the Kingdom. Use My Word for it shall not fall to the ground. Pray for those that are lost for they shall be found by Me. Do not waiver. Trust in Me that I desire none to perish.

Be of good cheer and faith believing as I woo those ones that are afar off into the glorious Kingdom of God. Don't lose hope and never forget My mission.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

I, for one, am glad that the Lord gently reminds us of the value of mankind, Kingdom priorites, and what our minds do need to be focused on.

About Me

My photo
Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
