The day when God cried
The Lord gave instruction long ago already.
He said we must pray for our enemies
*
You my love.. you do what you are instructed to do but listen... listen.. for God is going to give you some instructions too.. and they will harm no one. It will be good and even earth will glorify God for it. Praise His Holy Name.
The story...
Once there was a man. A real bad and evil man. He did much great evil in the land he lived in and sometimes he even plundered other countries too. He was feared and hated and not respected. He had no love and knew no gentleness nor kindness. Then the kings of this earth became mad and held a conference.
"Come... let's recon with this evil man. He is destroying not only his own people, but is plundering our lands and eating our crops and drinking our wine. Come... lets put together our forces and together we can beat him and destroy him completely.
He will be no more."
The men called upon their army forces and worked out much strategy. They were real mighty together and they had a lot of hope. Oh yes.. they are going to do good. They are going to destroy this evil man.
This man was truly evil. Oh yes he was real evil and no one upon earth doubted that and all wanted to see him dead. He had no fear for God and he had no respect for God either and were not interested in Him or the truth either. But God loved him for He created him and knew he was only hurt and in great need.
God heard all these great men talking and saw them bringing their forces together. He saw it all. He saw their strength and thought.
'Did they council Me.. Did they ask Me for advice... Did they even thought about me once..' then He got furious.
He got real mad...
as mad as only God can get.
He remembered how He gave His only Son Jesus Christ to wash away all the sin of earth.. to bring healing and restoration. He remembered how He gave these kings free entrance unto His wisdom and love. He remembered how He offered Himself unto them and He saw that they never took any of these blessings and neither His advice.
Then He got even more mad. He got furious and earth started trembling. The great mighty men thought it was because of the evil man's fear that earth was trembling. Never did they look up unto God though.. Never did they think about Him and never did they ask His council.
The evil man did not acknowledge God in any way so he thought the trembling to be just hick-ups of earth..
the way of nature.
God stood up and turned his face unto the kings of the earth. He was mad and His face was shooting fire. His eyes shot as lightning and when He opened His mouth thunder roared.
All of the heavens became silent.
For the first time ever they saw Him like this.
For the first time ever the Angels felt fear.
They feared for earth for they saw Gods anger and rage.
No one knew what to do and not one dared to utter a word.
Then God spoke and His voice was clear as crystal. All of the heavens and all of the earth could hear Him and no one doubted the voice of God.
Ohh.. His voice was beautiful. It had the songs of a million angels in it and the vibrations caused the seas to tremble... mountains crumbled to dust. Love poured forth from out of His mouth like lava. Like fire and brimstone His words run over the earth and melted all. Not a stone was left untouched and not a tree standing. Not a single thing could escape the words that came out of His mouth.
"I gave you all. I had not held anything back. I gave even My Son and even He gave His all. I showed you love and I showed you the way. I taught you and tried to lead you.
I provided you with food and drink and I prepared you a feast
but you denied it all.
You chose the way of death above the way of life."
He went forth saying...
"I show you a man with hurt more than he can bear. I show you a man with no other hope but eternal death. I show you a man in need of healing and love and you conspire to kill him. You have all the healing in your hands and you have all the love and joy... you could not even handle it all... but you choose the way of death instead of the way of life. You know all and nothing is hidden unto you.
Your eyes are open and your ears they can hear
yet you deny the way of love
but choose the way of death."
Then God turned His head and looked unto the angelic armies.
He instructed them to join the forces of the evil man.
Maybe this evil man will look unto the heavens after the battle and maybe he then will think....
"...maybe there is a God and maybe He has love.. for look... I won a battle that I never should have won.. I had no hope but death, but look... this battle was won for me and I did not win it self. Maybe there is "Someone" that loves me."
Maybe this man will then love Me and serve Me and honour Me as I am. Maybe this evil man will then choose the way of life and love...
as My own chose against it.
Tears filled the eyes of God and all His angels cried with Him as they prepared for war. Much rain poured down upon the earth and a hundred thousand people drowned in only the tears of God.
A new tree sprout forth from out of the depths of the wetted earth and spread it's wings. It was filled with the sorrow of God
and all who ate of it's fruit knew the brokenness of His heart...
knew the sorrow of God.
Sadness beyond compare.
(((Is there hope for earth... is there hope for the kings of this earth.
Is there still time for them to repent of their way of hatred
and could their unrighteous acts and conspiring be stopped.
Is there any possibility that they could put down their arrows and spears
and take up the healing ointment
together with the scalpel unto operation
to take out the ulcers of the evil man so that he can heal...
I ask... is there hope...
is there any hope at all.
I ask also this.. did anyone ever wonder why the Bible predict the death of the children of God. Did anyone ever thought and wondered about this...
I tell you today that the evil people have no love
so no love can be expected of them..
You though..
you have all the love in the palms of your hands and in your hearts
yet you desire and walk in the way of death.)))
God cried for an hour and then He dried His tears.
He looked at the Man of love and His heart melted.
He started crying again as He was still weak with sorrow...
but this time God cried because of love.
One extremely clear stream of water flowed unto earth and on the shores new plants started growing. All of them flowering with the most beautiful flowers and tiny seeds. Both the flower and seed were edible. A great and wonderful fragrance filled the air. Thunder roared again as He opened His mouth yet again to speak.
"You..!"
He said and the Man of love got the fright of his life for God's voice shook his entire being into even the deepest. Never did he hear God speak with so much power. He could hear great anger in God's voice but also felt His love unto him.
"You will do as I tell and command you and you will have peace. I have seen your heart and I have seen your love. I have seen your honesty before me and your meekness. As you have given yourself unto me I will give Myself unto you.
Fear not for I am with you. Do not despair for I am your God. As you love Me.. know that I love you much more. As you honoured Me and as you honoured life and love.. so I will honour you with Myself. I will give you My protection and you have My Mercy. I will exalt you as you exalted
My Love.
Be ready for what you are to do no man has ever done upon the face of this earth. Be brave for it is a great thing you are to do.
Be humble as My Son was humble
and be glad...
for I love you."
Oh.. this man of love was relieved after the shock of hearing God's voice and words. He was honoured by God and was grateful for that.. but mostly he was relieved because God did not give him the same instructions as He did the angels. God did not give him to turn or fight against his own people. In his heart he knew that God will provide that what earth is in need of. He trust Him for He knows and has no doubt at all that God is a Good God and a God of Love and passion and compassion. He knows that God is Mercy. He will not ask or reason with God. He will only submit unto the One and Only and allow Him to sort out all upon earth for once and for all.
The evil man had a surprise coming his way and the kings had an even greater surprise coming their way. The man of love had peace as his God is the God of love and peace and as he manifested the same... God's peace and love is with him.
The earth trembled with fear for she had to drink the blood of so many over so many years and never could come to enjoy it. In her heart she wished she could pray, for if she could.. she would have asked God to forgive His children their hardened hearts.. and their evil deeds... see.. she was also fearing for herself for she knew that if God would destroy man upon earth.. He might also possibly destroy her in the process. Oh... if only she could have a voice
she would have prayed and pleaded for mercy.
She wondered if there was perhaps one man upon this earth that will be willing to allow her one prayer unto God... just once she would love to use his voice... to pray unto God and then God could hear her and then she will have hope. If only He could hear her desire unto life.. unto Him... yes.. she would so much like to also tell Him about her love for Him for even until today she could never thank Him for creating her in such beauty.
As her fear and desire to speak to God grew.. she started trembling and this caused earthquakes and the people upon earth started fearing much but not once did they think about her for they were too much busy with their ways they were so set in.
You see... you could have all the forces of war and all the riches of earth and all the possessions you could dream of... but if you have not love.. you have nothing.
Then again... you could have love.. but if you walk the way of death your love is empty and worthless.
You are nothing even if you have love.. if you walk with it the way of death.
This is where the evil man is much better off than you.. for of him... nothing was expected, for nothing were given...
but you... you were given all and yet.. you could give nothing.
Nothing at all.
[This reminds me of another story... a story about a town. A small town with a very clever and able doctor. One day a traveller arrived in this town and found it nearly empty. He saw a wide stretched grave yard on a hill alongside the town. As he started speaking to the people, he found that they do have a doctor in town, and he has all the qualifications and even a big room with all the medicine you can dream of.. but ... he did not practice. Eventually the entire town was empty and no more... only the doctor remained.. for see... he cared for only himself.]
You were given all and yet.. you could give nothing. Nothing at all.
Now there is a question..
What is God going to do..!!
What do you expect..?
Do you think He is like you...?
(Have all, but give nothing...
Have love but give hatred and revenge...
Have life but give death.)
Certainly NOT..!!
Be prepared, for what you are about to receive you do not deserve.
Be prepared, for God is Good.
Be prepared, for where there is love there is always a way and there is enough love in the heart of the man of love.
Be prepared, for God's revenge is unlike yours.
Be prepared, for His revenge is sweet.
Be prepared, for He is sweet and His love precious.
Be prepared, for He is pure and without hatred.
Be prepared, for His way is a way of healing and not destruction.
Be prepared, for God is on His way to act and His acts are righteous in truth and honesty.
Be prepared, for God is alive.
Who can stand against God. Who can go into dispute with Him. Who can alter His Words and who can change His heart. Who can even think of going into battle against Him. I tell you today that the battle is already won. Jesus did it all many years ago. He even said.. "All is done, it is complete."
So... in my faith I say unto you...
Enjoy.. for whatever is to be will be good for the One of Heavens and all eternity is a Good God and whatever He is planning can only be good for He has no evil in Him and where He see wrong, he will right it with a right and not with a wrong. He is Mercy and He is love and even if you did hurt Him much.. He is still very much in love with you.
Thank You Jesus for what You did. Thank You for Your love and thank You for pleading for us. Thank You for life and thank You for showing the way unto the Father's heart. Be with us all. I ask in Your Name.amen
The battle of man is not the battle of God.
The love of man is not the love of God.
The thoughts of man is not the thoughts of God.
Know that God is much exalted - His love is Great.
Be prepared..!
Be prepared, for what is coming never was.
Oh, if I could know what is going to be.. but I do not.
I can only but trust my Lord.
"My Lord... I trust Thee." lilli says and then she takes Jesus' hand for she has a little bit of work still to do. He will lead her and when she has done this.. then she is done. For now and for ever it will be done. Jesus will then hand her over unto the Father and then an entire new story begins. Until then.. He is enjoying her every moment... loving her all the way.
As they walk away... Jesus explains unto her what is expected of her and she knows that His work is precise and she also knows that she will never be sorry for accepting His Hand. They stop for a small moment and Jesus takes her into His sweet arms and hold her for a while. Then He gives her an even sweeter kiss.
They walk the last mile and even before they arrived, lilli was ready.
Yes, even more than ready.
lilli is ready.
