"GOD SO LOVES THE WORLD"

If we take a moment and we look around, we could heard so many bad reports.  It could shake our Faith, if we are not rooted and grounded in His Love.


There are natural disasters, people dying, wars, divorce, financial crisis and much more.  Many ask Why is God allowing this, and others are asking Where is God.


The media only report the negative most of the time, but does not give the good report on how people life are change in many parts of the world because followers of Jesus are taking stand and believing God on HIS WORD.


Today, I heard a message from a pastor Andrew White that has the church in IRAQ; what amazing stories.  it was refreshing to listened to him saying that in their church healing are done always.  He mention how even the Muslim know the church as the place to go when they want a miracle.  they do not pray that maybe God wants to heal; they know that God wants to heal.


I am not saying that we should deny the current situations that are evident.  There is so much chaos and confusion, pain and suffering; but these situations do not dictate the heart of the FATHER.


When we search HIS word, we find that HIS heart desire is to have a relationship with HIS children.  HE does not want to cause them pain and HE does not create a negative situation so that HE can be glorify when the solution comes.  HE is already Glorious, HE already reigns, HE IS GOD all alone.  It does not mean either that HE does not have control, and the enemy goes doing left and right as he pleases.  The truth is that we live in a world that is corrupted by sin and Jesus came to redeem it.  Jesus took back dominion, but before going to the FATHER, HE gave us authority.  Psalm 115:16 "The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth HE has given to man"


Therefore, instead of speaking the negative; remembering that HE has given us power of life and death in our tongues; let us align with God's word with HIS heart's desire:


John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life and may have it abundantly"


God's heart is for all to come to the knowledge of HIS love.


"For God so loved the world, that HE gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believe in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.  
For God sent NOT HIS Son into the world to condemn, but that the world through HIM might be saved"


Many have perished because they never had the chance to know about Jesus, and many more will perish as well; but how are they going to know about HIM if we are not stepping into our place and preaching the GOOD NEWS of the GOSPEL.  It is and will always be GOOD NEWS.


Jesus said to the disciples " as the FATHER hath sent me, even so i send you" and then He continues saying " IF YOU FORGIVE ANYONE'S SIN, THEY ARE FORGIVEN; IF YOU RETAIN ANYONE'S SIN, THEY ARE RETAIN"
These are strong words; if you realized Jesus is entrusting us with people life; but if we were forgiven, we can extend the same mercy and grace toward others.


It is time to rise up, and embrace the commission that Jesus gave us.  Instead of prophesying the problem, let us speak in boldness the solution.  Instead of expecting the negative so that they will validate how prophetic we are, let us speak the word of God; Let us pray and intercede for those situation and find the heartbeat of God.


For Example: Many have prophesied bad things to happen to California.  Let us declare instead in the name of Jesus that California comes to the knowledge of Christ; that the state will be a beacon of light for the nation; that the world will look at it not because of disaster or Hollywood or homosexuality or anything else, but because they are transforming a culture toward the Kingdom of God.  Let us declare that is a city of purity and integrity that people of Faith rise up, that the sons and daughters of God are displaying the Glory of the Father.  That is a city of love and unity; that God's mercy and grace is over that state.


When God reveals a negative situation to us.  It is an invitation from God to us to partner with Him and bring about His will which is always good towards His children.  Remember is His love and kindness that lead us to HIM.  HIS essence is love.  HE GAVE HIS SON FOR US.


We must go into the world and be the light and salt instead of being passive, alienated from the world like we are going to get contaminated.  We must contaminated them with the Love of Christ, with the Grace and Mercy of our FATHER  We must be the ones in the front line showing the way, but the way to Jesus.


Jesus paid the price, and took the keys, restoring back what was lost in the Garden.  He ascended to the heavens and rules and reign, He is seated at the right hand of the Father; but before He went to the Father He pass the baton to us.  He healed the sick, delivered the captives, raise the dead and more; we are to do that and even more as well.  Let us stop waiting to see if God would like to intercede in our daily life; and let us partner with the HOLY SPIRIT; who is an amazing teacher, perfect , incredible and wise friend to guide us on how to pray, how and what to declare to bring the solutions.  We are part of the solution, we are part of the answer.  JESUS CHRIST THE HOPE OF GLORY LIVES IN US.  Let us bring the Kingdom of God into every place we go, into every area of influence; let us be authentic as HE created us.


We are to walk in our blessings, not just for us, but to give out which has been freely given to us.


God loves all, and HIS desire is that not a single person perish.
Let it be done on earth as it is in HEAVEN.
