Reflections
Hated without a cause…
This world is full of hatred. Kingdom ideologies set people against people, nations against nations, and fight for a cause that one side will justify against the other by proof, outward appearances of things seen, or things rumored.
Tensions lead to distress and confusion as accusations fly, people roar, and nations rage; like a great flood it spreads across the lands. As tensions rise, what rises within you?
The cares, causes, and kingdom ideologies of this world can bring out the worst in people, or the best in people. Does hate rise within you more as tensions rise, or do others hate you because you do not hate like they say you should, but the Love of God rises within you more instead?
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22)
“Sake” means for the benefit of, on account of; and implies doing something for the glory or reputation of God's character, to honor His Kingdom.
Jesus said His Kingdom is not of this world, and His Name’s sake is to do The Will of The Father, being One with The Word of God. The Gospel of His Kingdom is within those who house a measure given to them by God, not men. Man’s nature hates that to be The Only True Way because they cannot buy it, control it, or create it themselves; no matter how hard they try or how far they go to seek a way to.
“And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:7-8)
Only by God’s Power and Authority, His Kingdom within, is one then sent out as those who come in The Name of The Lord, for His Name’s sake, His Will be done, and not their own. These are no longer called “men” but are New Creatures in Christ, no longer of this world even though still in it.
In them there is no will of their own, no other message of their own, and no cause to hate anyone. They are the meek of the earth. So, if hate is returned to them in response to The Gospel of Salvation and Reconciliation with God, then it reveals and uncovers all whose hearts still live after their flesh kingdom and hate the uncovering of this truth within them.
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” (Matthew 10:16-20)
When one goes out claiming to go in The Name of The Lord, for His Name’s sake, do they honor His Kingdom and contain the measure He has given them to speak in the hour needed; or do they speak words of their own measure and timing?
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:19-21)
An ambassador of a kingdom represents The Kingdom they come from when being sent out into others. Other kingdom ideologies of this world do not easily receive a messenger or agree with a message so contrary to their own mindset; nevertheless, it is sent out anyway, even if rejected. Some even seek to kill it because those in high places will seek to stop what threatens their own rule, authority, and the kingdom dominion they hold over the minds of others.
Are you hated for no cause, rejected with no justification, no accusation can stand against you, no outward appearance or action could warrant such hatred?
Some are hated because of what remains unseen physically, a message with no outward proof but felt spiritually within, one that some are drawn to, but others hate because of that.
"If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause." (John 15:24-25)
God’s Law is clear about slander and seeking false witness against your neighbor. Satan is the accuser, but sadly this so easily snares many to become little “satans” flooding this world. This is deceiving many to defile themselves, even those who started out in The Word of God to keep it then fall away from it in these ways.
“And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.” (Luke 6:7)
All have broken the Law of God, but when this is revealed to you do you then hate the uncovering, or do you Love His Appearing for His Mercy, correction to repent, and His Guidance to now walk new?
Some who hate His Appearing of uncovering their hidden sin seek to conquer this by killing/stopping those with the message. This is especially true when they feel threatened by a Kingdom coming to them that is more powerful than their own; or even a message sent that may expose their own errors inside the Kingdom they claim to already represent.
Others think of conquering by adding more coverings that change the message from within, corrupting it little by little; as some in the last time work more cunningly, even join falsely with the True Ambassadors of God’s Kingdom only to betray it in the end.
Those appointed by The Lord God to go out in His Name’s Sake already know this, and continue anyway, without railings or accusations because they are given a type of Peace that most will never understand; even when many will turn, betray, and rail against them because of this.
“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.” (2 Peter 2:9-11)
Jesus came and revealed The Kingdom of God, how to be Reconciled to God, and how His Kingdom works the opposite of these earthly kingdoms below.
Do you confuse people by your responses being so different from this world that they become frustrated by you, impatient, or even angry because they cannot understand why you do not agree with them to hate others like they do, to seek revenge, and do things the way they say is right in their “kingdom” ways?
How do you respond if they reject you, or even hate your message?
“And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” (Matthew 10:12-14)
Are you hated by others because you go out with the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, for Jesus’ names sake only? Or are you hated by people because of how you approach them and respond to them. Are you an offense or offended from rejection, or worse do you take the bait and snared to turn again to repay evil for evil in the provocation?
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
Are you going out in the “Name of The Lord” but only pointing out evil and seeking to accuse by railing accusations in the ways of satan because you are being tempted by the devil, now becoming ambassadors of the dragon instead?
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:20-21)
The devil and satan together make the body of the dragon, one hand working with the other hand, and are possessed with a desire to turn many in this world into its body on the earth. These are housing unclean spirits of tempters and accusers, snaring many into provocation of endless debates, strife, anger; and even murder. Some even go out using “His Name’s Sake” falsely, being wise in their own eyes but blinded by the powers of darkness doing so.
Jesus was tempted by the devil and satan and they found no part in Him. No temptation could provoke Him, and no accusation could be found against Him, proving His Divinity of the full measure of The One True God, for only The Father is all Good with no sin. Jesus was hated even more because of this.
Those that are possessed to seek to tempt and then accuse will never stop seeking to kill all they can by this perpetual desolation; leading many into temptations only so they can then accuse them of the sin.
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
(Revelation 12:9-11)
Are you being provoked to fall into temptations?
Hold fast and repent, so you are not led into the fullness of the dragon when falling into temptation to then turn and accuse; blaming others for your own shortcomings. This sin entered Adam in the very beginning, to blame and accuse after the devil tempted Eve. This is not some new thing, or strange thing, and we should not be ashamed to then hide away from God and try to cover this, instead, we are to learn from this and come out of it, delivered through it.
“And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”
(1 Chronicles 21:1)
The Lord is Merciful to forgive, especially when we are found with a heart like David. Once a sin was revealed he confessed and accepted it, even desired no harm to come upon anyone else because of his own actions. David desired to take all the consequences upon himself instead. Is your heart like this also, to represent Christ Jesus within you, as a heart after the Will of The Father, in His Will?
“And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.”
(1 Chronicles 21:17)
Considering the end of the matter, David did suffer corrections and God still placed the burden upon his whole house to learn this as well, not just David. We should also learn and let Christ Jesus teach us through all these Testimonies in Him as examples set before us in His Word and Testimony.
Do you consider these things and ask The Lord God to search your own heart to uncover even the hidden sins so you may have Grace and Mercy to continue to walk this out, being taught of God?
“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” (Proverbs 24:16)
The Law of God came already and stands unmovable, and Christ Jesus commands The Gospel of Peace with God as Living Waters to go out over it, for His Covering to lift us up, otherwise we will all perish under the weight of the Law of God; especially if we reject it simply because we do not understand it.
“Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” (Jude 1:9)
If you say you are worn out and still filthy and cannot do The Law of God, then good, that means you see the Truth now and are lying flat, prepared as unleavened bread, ready to be lifted up by God with the increase filled through Christ Jesus in His Love and Mercy upon you.
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” (Galatians 5:17)
You are meek now, knowing The Law of God and agree it is right but you cannot do it by your own strength, that is the point, that is True humility and meekness that you now see to behold and understand this. We cannot, by our own hand, till the land of our flesh and get all the specs out of the ground. Those who continue this way will only seek more and more coverings over their hidden sins; from fig leaves to dens of the rocks in the mountains, building houses that cannot withstand the storms that come against all who think to stand upon and build upon things they do and make, and not the True Rock of Heaven above, as the only pure and unmovable foundation to be found dwelling upon and in.
“For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.” (Psalm 95:7-9)
“Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” (Hebrews 3:7-12)
“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
(2 Peter 2:20-22)

It's a promise.

Please know it is our honor to assist you on your walk of fostering an intimacy with Jesus, in order that His love within flows from your heart and out of your lips in authentic purity.
Just a closer walk with Jesus is all it takes, it is time to take that step in truth…
He has been waiting for you, your whole life.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
