LOVE - FOUNDATION OF TRUE AUTHORITY

LOVE NEVER FAILS

     We are so blessed to have our heavenly Father, who forgives us in and through Jesus Christ. And as God is Love, and Love never leaves or forsakes us – no matter what valley of the shadow of death we may be walking through.  Love never fails.  Have you considered that God is with you every step of your journey in this life?  Have you considered that God is the greater one within you – greater than any influence or issue or person in this world?

     I invite you to read, research and take notes on the information provided below.  And remember temptations are a part of this life on earth, even when you have become born anew – spirit wise.

     For with each and every temptation, God has provided the way of escape – again in and through Jesus Christ.  The way of escape may be through the fire – but we won’t get burned.

     Jesus is the one who said ‘I Am the Way, the Truth and the Light’ – And He is the Way out of each and every trap of temptation that the enemy tries to capture us in.

     Let’s look at the two verses of scripture  1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Peter 3.9 that speak to this as well as Psalm 107.

1 Corinthians 10:13 New KJV

      ¹³There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 10:13 Amplified Bible

     ¹³For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.

1 Corinthians 10:13 The Message

   ¹³No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it.

 Now let’s look at 2 Peter 3:9 New NJV

      ⁹The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance

Amplified Version

     ⁹The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.

The Message Version

      God isn't late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change.

      God who is righteous, Holy, and the Creator of all, states clearly to us that rather than see us destroyed per our poor choices because of sin in our lives, God does not want us to perish, or remain lost, or bound captive to any junk in our lives. 

     Through repentance, turning to Him, and crying out for Him, He makes a way for us to be safe in the midst of the temptation, so that we are able to walk through it, and bear it –hmmm – like walking through the fire and not being burned???  Hmmmm.

     God is so good, and is waiting for you to call on Him, and the Holy Spirit is waiting to lead you into the truth of what has been shared here for you personally.  I agree with you for your complete restoration in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
