TIME for GENTLENESS

 

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, 

gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: 

against such there is no law.

Does gentleness exist in the world?

The heart has become hard.

We look at the world, and it is so.

We need to turn back to CHRIST.

Who is gentle, truthful, and humble.

Isaiah 40:10-11

King James Version

10 Behold, 

the Lord God will come with strong hand, 

and his arm shall rule for him: 

behold, 

his reward is with him, 

and his work before him.

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: 

he shall gather the lambs with his arm, 

and carry them in his bosom, 

and shall gently lead those 

that are with young.

Matthew 11:29-30

King James Version

29 Take my yoke upon you, 

and learn of 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.

2 Corinthians 10:1

King James Version

10 Now I Paul myself beseech you 

by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, 

who in presence am base among you, 

but being absent am bold toward you:

We were all babies once.

Our flesh was delicate.

Our bodies were fragile.

Our hearts were soft.

Our minds were unformed.

Our trust was pure.

What made us so tough?

What hardened our hearts?

What made us so ambitious?

What made us so competitive?

What made us so corrupt, and sinful?

What made us so vain, and self-absorbed?

What made us forget the gentleness of our spirits?

What made us forget GOD?

We are in the end times.

JESUS wants us converted.

Matthew 18:3-5

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 

as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name 

receiveth me.

He wants us born again, that His SPIRIT may teach us.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time

into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

JESUS wants us to have eternal life.

John 10:10

King James Version

10 The thief cometh not, 

but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: 

I am come that they might have life, 

and that they might have it more abundantly.

Our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits are fragile.

We need strength from JESUS.

We need clarity from SPIRIT.

We need to love GOD.

We need to have a sound mind.

Let us return to the LORD.

Let us run back to His arms, and be held by Him.

Let us never leave His side.

Ever again.

Acts 10:38

King James Version

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 

with the Holy Ghost and with power: 

who went about doing good, 

and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; 

for God was with him.

What a remarkable find today!

How is it possible that a Muslim came to know, and accept, the GOD of the Jews?

How is it possible that an Iranian spreads JESUS' gospel in that country, and beyond?

How is it possible that a man with a Ph.D. in engineering would want to read the Bible at all?

So many incongruous things.

But all these became possible through the HOLY SPIRIT, which lives strongly in Dr. Hormoz Shariat.

He cannot hide his joy at being gifted with the HOLY SPIRIT.

All throughout that interview, he exhibited childlike joy at being saved.

He will also tell you of his magnificent journey in finding CHRIST.

Most important of all, he delighted in being able to share the LORD's gospel to many Iranians, who hungered for truth.

He informs us that the Iranian government's policies doesn't necessarily reflect the Iranian people.

It surely takes courage to say that.

I just found his story refreshing.

PEACE is possible, through JESUS.

And a verse comes to mind:

Romans 10:12-13

King James Version

12 For there is no difference 

between the Jew and the Greek: 

for the same Lord over all is rich 

unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.

It just shows when your heart is true, when you seek GOD, when you humble yourself, GOD's SPIRIT fills your heart.

And He begins to teach you everything about JESUS.

How does Dr. Shariat reach Iran, and other Farsi-speaking regions like Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan?

Through Satellite TV.

That alerts me to an important prophecy from JESUS:

Matthew 24:14

King James Version

14 And this gospel of the kingdom 

shall be preached in all the world 

for a witness unto all nations; 

and then shall the end come.

It just shows we are in the end times.

Technology has the capability of reaching everyone.

There is no more excuse not to know the LORD.

Unless you have no desire to hear His WORD.

The gospel of JESUS CHRIST cannot be stopped.

Neither can the workings of the HOLY SPIRIT -- in those who want to know GOD's TRUTH.

SPIRIT takes GOD's POWER where He will.

John 3:8

King James Version

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
