SOME LITTLE THINGS DON'T MEAN A LOT, THEY MEAN EVERYTHING!

SOME LITTLE THINGS DON'T MEAN A LOT, THEY MEAN EVERYTHING!

It only take a little impurity the make the whole life impure because it grows and grows. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. It's the little foxes that spoil the vine! It was only one little nail, but for the loss of that nail, the shoe was lost, for the loss of the shoe the horse was lost, for the loss of the horse the commander was lost, for the loss of the commander the battle was lost, for the loss of the battle the war was lost!

As long as you are human you are not beyond sinning, A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church."Galatians 5:9 AMP  Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, wherever the captain chooses. [5] Even so your tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles! [6] And the tongue is a fire, in a world of sin: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell." James 3:4-6 KJV

One ugly statement can end a marriage. On little bitterness can lead to murder! One little vice can lead to a life of addiction! When My Spirit begins to convict you of something, it's because He sees the end of the matter. The little leak in the dam when left unplugged will eventually wear the whole dam away and wipe out the whole town. That one sin that is excused and unrepented of, that's the one that My Spirit says, is stopping your progress!

Seeing you are surrounded with so great a crowd of witnesses, you must lay aside every weight, and that little sin which so easily get you off course, so you can run with patience the kingdom race that is set before you." Hebrews 12:1 It may seem like a little thing, but the moment the Holy Spirit starts bringing it to your attention it becomes a very big deal, because it can cost you everything! With Samson, it was one little secret revealed, with David, it was little look of lust from the rooftop, and with Ananias it was one little lie about money! Some little things mean everything! Let Me deal with your little sin before it causes you to loose the war!

BALANCED CHRISTIANS

BALANCED CHRISTIANS

A perfectly balanced Christian is 50/50 in kingdom math and is considered lukewarm.  Fifty percent in and fifty out, "so then a balanced Christian, and "neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16 KJV Some flesh, some spirit, some holy living and some unholy unholy, some lust of the eye, and some purity. This is balance one foot in the kingdom and one foot in the world. 100% is completely out of balance because the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and sells 100 % of what possesses, and buyeth that field." Matthew 13:44 KJV

This is how fanatically out of balance you must be: If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God and likewise his wife and children and brothers and sisters--yes and even his own life also--he cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:26 AMP One rich young man that I really loved, wanted to follow Me but wanted to balance his service to Me with a nice bank account in reserve. As much as I wanted him on My team his idea of a balanced Christian was unacceptable. I said, to him, sell everything that you have and divide the money among the poor, and you will have rich treasure in heaven; and come back and follow Me, become My disciple, join My party, and accompany Me." Luke 18:22 AMP One hundred percent, was too much for him and he walked away sad. 

The problem with hundred percenters is they intimidate the lukewarm by their passion and drive. Seeking first My kingdom is a constant irritation to those that seek earthly kingdoms. The irritation will lead to a silent separation called cliques within a church body. Praying about everything bugs the balanced christian. Their constant conversation about what I am saying, and doing draws those who want My kingdom to come, while it repels the fifty / fifty group.

"Blessed are you that have this unbalanced hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are you that weep for the lukewarm now: for you shall laugh. [22] Blessed are you, when men shall hate you for being a fanatic, and when they shall separate you from their company, because you seek first My kingdom, and shall reproach you , and cast out your name as a fanatic, because you are consumed with Me. [23] Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven:" Luke 6:21-23 Slowly I am drawing together the unbalanced fanatics, and forming My last day army. To join the unbalance fanatics is a simple process; "just love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27 If you really do that, you are an unbalanced fanatic!

REDEPLOYMENT IN MY ARMY

REDEPLOYMENT IN MY ARMY
There is a great shifting that must take place as the battle of battles nears. There are many strong bonds that are made during training and discipleship. As growth takes place, at a certain point there are some that must be relocated to a new area according to My battle plan. Sometimes the bonding makes it hard to believe that I would relocate anyone. Do not judge or be dismayed when this happens. Do not form opinions, take sides, but wait and stay focused, and continue as usual.
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." Acts 13:2 KJV It is the work of My Spirit to relocate people as He sees fit. Gifts are given as it pleases Him as well as places to use those gifts. Some times I will use personal disagreement to shift believers around. One day Paul said unto Barnabas, Let's us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. [37] And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. [38] But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. [39] And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; [40] And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. [41] And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches." Acts 15:36-41 KJV
I used the difference of opinions to redeploy two men to reach people in Cyprus, instead of everyone going to Syria and Cilicia, again. Later on when the work was done, they settled their dispute and teamed up again. If you are being redeployed do not let anger or bitterness enter your heart but look at the bigger picture. In times of relocation there must be a breaking up of camp but never a breaking of rank. Your rank stays the same but your location changes. Never get so comfortable that you cannot see the bigger picture. My body is so much bigger that one church or one city or state or nation. You are a carrier of My glory and My glory must fill the whole earth. When I want to spread My glory to another location or people group, I redeploy some. If they are too attached, to see the bigger picture, I allow disagreement to make their nest uncomfortable.
Disagreement will only be on the minors and never on the majors. Disagreement in the flesh, but never in the spirit. A disagreement that never includes bitterness, or malice, or hatred, or resentment. There are times when leaders will hold on to people due to relationships, or fear, rather than send them out and I must use other means move them, in order to expand My kingdom. Love must always fill the hearts of those being separated as well as those remaining. They will always be joined at the heart. How you serve may differ, where you serve may differ, but who you serve will always remain the same, because I am the Lord of both.
Here are the kingdom rules during redeployment: recognize everyone has gifts differing according to the grace that is given to them, whether prophecy, let them prophesy according to the proportion of faith; [7] Or ministry, wait on your ministering: or you that teaches, on teaching; [8] Or you that exhorts, on exhortation: you that give, do it with simplicity; if you rule, do it with diligence; if you have a mercy gift, do it with cheerfulness. [9] Always, always make sure your love is without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. [10] In every relocation process you must Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" Romans 12:6-10 KJV

KINGDOM SELF DEFENSE CLASSES

KINGDOM SELF DEFENSE CLASSES

Learning the art of self defense is very popular, and after a single hour of training a person can learn a few defensive moves that could save their life! However kingdom self defense is not so, it is impossible to learn kingdom self defense, because it does not exist. All self defense mechanisms are dismantled upon entering My kingdom". From the moment you enter My kingdom, your confession will be, "the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge." Psalm 94:22

Complete surrender means, giving up all self defense and coming under My protection program! Your self defense is exchanged for My offensive plan! Your only defense is My offense. It is the worlds most difficult boot camp, because it makes no human sense whatsoever. Your first instruction in kingdom offense will sound extremely stupid to your carnal mind. Here it is: Never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for My wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord.  Now the second instruction is even worse, most students drop out of class on this one: [20] If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. Now here is the motto that hangs over the classroom door: [21] Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good." Romans 12:19-21 AMP

Keeping your mouth shut and letting Me do the talking is the most difficult challenge you will ever have in learning kingdom offense. "Never be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, nor even meditate about it; but say whatever is given you in that hour and at the moment, for it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit." Mark 13:11 AMP

Your natural mind will try to match wits with your accusers, who have no mercy. On the other hand, My Spirit speaks from revelation knowledge, and deals with their motives, automatically destroying their defense system. 

When My Spirit speaks, your enemy is defeated because "nothing is so closely covered up that He is not able to reveal, or hidden that He can't make it known. [3] Whatever they have spoken in the darkness shall be heard and listened to in the light, and what they have whispered in people's ears and behind closed doors, will be proclaimed upon the housetops." Luke 12:2-3 The moment that their motives are revealed all their defenses are destroyed. 

If you ever graduate the kingdom defense class, you will be 

[38] persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate you from the love of God, which is in Me, for I am your Lord. Every time you meet your accusers you will say, [37] "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Romans 8:38-39, 37 

THE COMING DOUBLE CHURCH SHAKE UP

THE COMING DOUBLE CHURCH SHAKE UP

This is a very unpopular, and unpreached part of the good news, so I am writing it to you!

1st shake up:

The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner that sowed good seed in his field: [25] But while the workers slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [27] So the servants of the landowner came and said unto him, Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did the tares come from? Matthew 13:24-27 

[28] He said, my enemy did this. The servants said unto him, do you want us to go and gather them up? [29] But he said, No; because when you gather up the tares, you will also root up the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together until harvest time: and then, I will say to the reapers, Gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." Matthew 13:28-30 KJV

The wheat and the chaff have been growing together for years and the wheat is getting mature enough to have the tares removed. Notice the sequence of events, first the good seed is sown, then when the sower sleeps, instead of cultivating, the enemy sows seeds of half truths, and false, seeker friendly, doctrine, the same as he did with Eve in the garden. The good seed is My word, and the ground is good ground, consisting of sincere hungry people, else it would not yield a harvest! Good ground is people of faith who want righteousness, but are too immature to determine its quality and purity. When unrighteous half truths are sown, by false teachers, during the shadows of night, while pastors are sleeping, the carnal ground accepts it and brings forth tares.  Second: before the harvest of souls can take place, the tares are to be plucked up, bound and burned. 

"Now the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin with you the true believer, what shall the end be, of the seeker friendly group, with itching ears, that obey not My gospel?" 1 Peter 4:17 When I shake the church, the first tares to be removed are the Lukewarm, then those that have unforgiveness, and finally those that have unrepentant hidden sin! The uprooting of tares will cause a spiritual 9.9 earthquake! The shaking will be violent as friends and families separate based on commitment, wheat congregations split with tare pastors, and tare congregations expelling wheat pastors, with the tares calling the wheat, fanatics. Persecution will establish the wheat in My barns as, the chaff is ordered to be burned. 

Only a handful of preachers have the backbone to preach this portion of what I said: I said, do not Think that I am came to send peace on earth: I did not come to send peace, but a sword. [35] For I came to set a son's calling at variance against his father's choice of career, and the daughter's decision against her mother's wishes, and the daughter in law's obedience against her mother in law's manipulations. [36] A man's foes will be those in his own household. [37] He that honors father or mother's opinions, over My calling and direction is not worthy of Me: and he that is more concerned about what son or daughter thinks, than what I say, is not worthy of Me. [38] If you will not take up this cross of total commitment, and follow after me, I am sorry, but you are not worthy of me."  Matthew 10:34-38 KJV

2nd shake up

My Father's manifest presence is so power packed, and His glory is so energy charged, that it shakes everything. He will never show up in His fullness, for only His throne room can handle it. When He showed up in past times, the earth shook, the heavens also dropped at His presence: even Mount Sinai itself was moved at the presence of the God of Israel." Psalm 68:8 KJV As the chaff is removed from the church and the fanatic outcasts return from the wilderness, My Spirit will manifest His presence with His glory. It will happen again, just as in the early days "when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. [32] And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. [33] And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all." Acts 4:31-33 KJV

TWIN HEAVENS

TWIN HEAVENS

Heaven does not need to wait, for you to physically die, if you know the secret of duplicating one on earth. When My Father's will is carried out exactly as He desires, you will succeed in bringing heaven to earth. When His will is done on earth, as it is in heaven, you will experience a portion of heaven now, and it will quickly expand as people gravitate toward the heaven around you. The joy of heaven around you is contagious, the peace in the piece of heaven that exudes from you, calms hell's storms in other lives. Heaven does not come to you at salvation, it only offers a door for you to get to heaven above. If all you ever have is a salvation experience, you will never bring heaven to earth, however by walking in absolute obedience, to the will of My Father, you will experience the twin of the heaven above, here on earth.

I taught you to pray for that exact thing to take place, when I prayed, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:10 KJV You know My will is not going to be done by the unsaved, or by lukewarm church goers. The way heaven will come, is by you doing My Father's will, a hundred percent. You could be in heaven today if you knew how to obey the will of My Father! It is possible for you to walk in My kingdom reality right now, while still in your flesh and blood body, because the born again experience, makes you an eternal being. The thing that you lack is living the crucified risen life, where every waking hour you are saying, not my will de done, but yours! 

My kingdom must be manifested on earth before I return to rule in it! My kingdom is made up of obedient, sons and daughters of the Most High, which must be manifested on the earth first, in order to carry out His will. Don't you know "even the whole creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for His sons to be made known,  waiting for the revealing, or the disclosing of their sonship." Romans 8:19 AMP

My kingdom will not come down because it is already inside you, Luke 17:21 waiting for the crucifixion of your old self centered nature. When that happens you will be the manifestation of the twin of heaven above. When My kingdom is fully manifested in you, you can speak to any mountain and it will obey. Matthew 17:20 All creation is waiting for you to crucify your flesh, so "this treasured kingdom in your earthen vessel, can come forth in power, that the excellency of it's power may be of My Father, and not of you." 2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV

Some of your friends and family are so messed up, they're lives are a living hell, why don't you completely die, to self and show them heaven on earth?

THE PERSECUTION TEST

THE PERSECUTION TEST

Free, free, free, everything is free. Which is better cheap or free. If cheap means of little value, what does free mean? Did you know that in 52 countries, My word is extremely valuable, because it's illegal and no longer free. In some place its so coveted and rare that single pages are secretly passed from hand to hand and memorized, at the risk of prison or execution. Those that possess My word, knowing the risk, are true believers, because they are passing the test of persecution.

The test of persecution is an individual test that you inwardly prepare for. Early persecution pop quizzes take place without you even knowing it. If you are embarrassed to mention My name in front of anyone, you will fail the persecution test. In a nation that has never known persecution, and religion is more than cheap, it's free, the depth of commitment is an unknown! Masses of people called believers, will fail the persecution test and you will be shocked at who they are! 

"Don't be deceived, before I return a great apostasy will take place first. Unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come, and the antichrist is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition)," you will not know the true believers. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 As I promised I will separate the wheat from the chaff. Persecution is the final and great threshing floor, that does the separating. 

After you are arrested for having a illegal bible, "when they take you to court and put you under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say nor even meditate about it; but say whatever is given you in that hour and at the moment, for it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit. [12] Threat of persecution will cause brother to hand over brother to death, and the father his child; and children will take a stand against their parents and have them put to death." Mark 13:11-12 AMP The gospel will no longer be free, you will pay for it with your life. 

Some of you, right now, are showing signs of failing the persecution test, because you want to move on to a happy clappy subject. You don't want to hit like, on this persecution stuff, because your religion has always been free, with no cost involved. Is your commitment deep or cheap? Only persecution will reveal it! That's why you can "consider it wholly joyful, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. [3] Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. [4] If you let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, you will be a people perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in nothing," and you will pass the persecution test! James 1:2-4 AMP

Let Me leave you with this final life saving thought: If you are ashamed of Me and My words, here and now in this adulterous (unfaithful) and preeminently sinful generation, I assure you that I will be ashamed of you when I come in the glory (splendor and majesty) of My Father with the holy angels." Mark 8:38 AMP Ashamed now, means persecution failure in the coming days, where you would report turn in your own mother for having a bible, to save your own neck!

DISCERNING BETWEEN GOOD AND GOD

DISCERNING BETWEEN GOOD AND GOD

Good is beautiful, good is friendly, good is inviting, and good is very beneficial. The problem with good is, good is temporary and not eternal. Teaching a good lesson from the bible is a good thing but if it is not a God thing, it can only produce a good feeling and a good idea but lacks accuracy. Not accuracy in being right, but accuracy in hitting a target, and because I am not in full control from beginning to end, it has no power. Gas is good and very necessary to run your car, it also has potential power. You could do a good thing and walk for hours to get a can of good gas, bring it back to your empty vehicle, but if you poured it into your trunk, all your efforts were worthless. Operating out of your soul, instead of your spirit has "a form of godliness, which looks good, but has no power to produce eternal things: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:5 

All My things are eternal with eternal purpose and usually very brief, because the are packed with so much life altering power. The power is so strong that small doses are administered in order to keep the your life in balance while making the alterations. Doing good things can wear you out, and make you feel good while you are doing them. Doing My things, enables you to the next thing with the residual power. When you you My things in My time and according to My direction, you are yoked together with Me and the burden you carry is light and the load you pull is light. "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:29-30 

Never be in a rush to do a God thing, because you will always end up doing a good thing, with no eternal results. Wait on Me until you are empty of your good ideas, so I can fill you with a single powerful truth, and let patience complete the work, then take Me with you to deliver My power to the exact hearts, at the exact time I intended. Nothing in My kingdom is hit and miss! At this point you become an eternal kingdom builder!

ADVANCING BACKWARD THROUGH CRUSHING

ADVANCING BACKWARD THROUGH CRUSHING

Can you imagine fighting to get to the back of the line? Can you ever imagine having a difficult time, refusing the offer to be first in line? This scenario is totally foreign to the natural man, yet this is the attitude that permeates My kingdom! There is a process that everyone must go through, in order to advance to the bottom. Your old nature wants you at the top of the pile, in a position of being waited on! A position of attention, bright lights and glamour. The whole wold applauds those that make it to the top, while at the same time wishing it was them, instead of you. 

From the day you were born the natural parent has a plan and dream of your greatness, a president, a king, a movie star, a world renown preacher, or a CEO of a multibillion dollar corporation. Did you ever hear a parent say, "my baby is going to be wonderful servant, desiring to wait on everyone? If you know a parent like this, get close to them and let them mentor you, because they have advanced to the bottom, and found the door to My kingdom! 

Satan has deceived the human race into thinking that a position of influence is at the top, but it's a lie. My power is incased in love, and love never seeks her own. 1Corinthians 13. Those who advance to the top, must constantly seek their own, all the way up, always competing for first place, on every step. When they reach the top they are very disappointed, because there are no real friendships there. All those close to you are waiting and wanting to take your place. In this place of dog eat dog insanity, and no higher to climb, the foolishness of party life and self indulgence takes over, and the long awaited dream becomes a nightmare! 

So how does one go about changing natures, because the church is filled with deceived people clawing there way to the top of the gospel greats. The answer is simple, but the process difficult, it's called crushing. It's a delicate process where all ambition for significance is removed. A process that brings you to a place where you actually let go and let Me have complete control of your destiny. The position of power to influence nations, is in serving. To get there, by being totally misunderstood! Where every good thing you do is challenged by the false accusers, saying you have ulterior motives. 

It's a very hard place "where men revile you, and persecute you , and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] However you can rejoice, and be exceeding glad: because you are in the crushing process and headed for kingdom greatness, and great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Matthew 5:11-12 

You must understand, I am waiting here at the bottom, choosing the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and I am choosing the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; [28] And the base things of the world, and things which are despised, I am choosing. I am choosing those which are at the bottom serving with My love, to bring to nothing those that got to the top through selfish ambition, demanding to be waited on: [29] All of this is so that no flesh should glory in My presence. [30] Now in this crushing process, I am putting in you My wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: [31] That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory only in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:27-31 

PUSHING LOVE TO YOUR LIMIT

PUSHING LOVE TO YOUR LIMIT

Some people mock Me, but I just keep on loving, because love is patient. Some people curse Me, I just keep on loving, because love is kind.  Some people abuse My goodness, but I just keep on loving them, because love seeks not her own. Some people insult Me, by ignoring what I say, as if I am a nobody, and I just keep on loving them anyway, because love is not easily provoked. Others don't care what I say, and have no interest in Me and I keep on loving them, because love endures all things. Please notice in the love chapter in My word, (1Corinthians 13) I never mention mans interpretation of love, I never once said love is a feeling!  But there comes and end, because My love endures to the end, not an end to My love, but to you, Because it is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgment:" Hebrews 9:27

Refusing to embrace My love, when it is offered to you, is the ultimate in foolishness, however playing with and tempting My love, while you are pretending to walk in it, is downright dangerous! My love is everlasting but you are not! Presuming upon My love can get you killed, Ananias, was a faithful church goer, but allowed satan to fill his heart with greed and lie to and attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit. He violated his promise and withdraw secretly part of money he promised from the sale of his land, that was for the those in need." [5] Upon hearing Peter's words, Ananias fell down and died. And great dread and terror took possession of all who heard of it."  Acts 5:3,5 AMP

Kingdom love, as written yesterday, is not a feeling but a commitment to obedience, John 14:15 so if you think My love is based on feelings, you could easily find yourself pushing My love, to your limits! Walking in love, in not walking around with warm and fuzzy feelings about everyone, it's walking in obedience, to My every command. Obedience is what gives you the power to receive a slap in the face and then turn the other cheek! You don't feel happy about it, and say, oh that felt good, do it again, you are simply obeying My command, to not retaliate, but to demonstrate love for Me through obedience. In your obedience I reward you with strength to endure with an inner joy that sustains you in the affliction.

There is no limit to My love because it is not based on feeling, it is expressed in actions toward obedience, and disobedience. This is why I am no respecter of persons, I simply give favor to those that obey, and the disobedient simply suffer the consequences of not having My favor! Remember you are saved by grace through your faith, Ephesians 2:8 but faith without the works of obedience is dead. "Even so faith, and grace, if they have not works, to back them up, is dead, being alone." James 2:17 If you are wise you will no longer go by feeling and push on in disobedience. I do not have warm and fuzzy feelings that say, he's a nice boy even though he is disobedient. Bottom line: without faith, demonstrated by obedience, it is impossible for you to be pleasing to Me! Hebrews 11:6
