We invite you to participate with us in a daily devotional time called “Your Daily Bread.” These daily devotions will come to you via our podcast network. It is through these daily podcasts that we hope you use to allow God to minister to your daily need enabling you to walk each and every day in the spirit of Christ.
Hello, my name is Paul, and I am the voiceover for a ministry provided to you by Jim Pugh at God is Government called Your Daily Bread. Taken from Christ's teaching of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, verse 11. This is a daily devotion ministry focused not only on uplifting scripture, but scripture that will grow your spiritual connection with Christ. We hope that you receive these devotions to uplift you, encourage you, but most importantly, advance your knowledge base of the Holy Scriptures. Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1 John 4 16, KJV. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4 19, KJV. We love him, because he first loved us. John 15, 13, KJV. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 3 16, KJV. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. KJV. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also. Our love of God should be greater than our love for humanity, brothers, sisters, race, creed, colour, or who they worship. Godly love, agape, does not change according to any circumstances. It is rooted and grounded in the fact that God is pure love. Our tendency is to want others to change. We think that it is difficult to love someone as they are, just as they are with all the flaws and sins. And would prefer that they were different, changed to that which we think they ought to be, before we love them. This is not what the Bible says about God's love. To love in this manner identifies that we are more concerned with our own happiness and control than with love for others. In essence, we are seeking out our own conditions and not God's. Our self-interest, know-it-all attitude, conceit, stubbornness, and whatever else we can think of that prevents us from showing God's love is the sin we need to cleanse. It is only when we cleanse ourselves from all those things then we can bear, believe, hope, and endure all things from others. We are required to love them as they are, and we can pray for them out of a sincere godly lover and concern for them. We always make excuses or create exceptions for those we love. However, in God's commands there is no excuse or exception. We may think that someone does not deserve our love or charity. All of us need to remember that Jesus laid down his life for us, the ultimate gift of how much God loved us. Here is something to think about. Look at your own life and understand that you are no less deserving than anyone else of that love. If you do, then you better repent immediately, because you might think you are following God, but you are not. Therefore, as stated in Matthew 5, 19 KJV, whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever shall do and teach them the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. God tells us in Scripture that to love someone does not mean we have to agree with their sin or to blind ourselves and say that everything they do is okay. We are to bear with them, to pray for them, to have faith for them, and to want the absolute best for them. These should be placed into action and not just thought of. It is only then we can come from having a natural dislike for someone to having a genuine love for them. This has to happen in order to help someone and turn them from harmful things out of genuine concern and care for them. Think about this for a moment. When you meet someone for the first time, do they feel a sense of being drawn to Christ through you? If not, then we are lacking in God's love. We need to pray to God and seek out from Him to show us how we can gain more of it. The majority might do this, but if we are not willing to give up self, mind-brain controlled, and think of others before ourselves, then we are not living under God's law, God's governmental authority structure, in accordance with God's covenant with humanity, and able to use the keys of the kingdom he gave us. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 13, KJV. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, love or giving, these three. But the greatest of these is charity, love or giving. Have you ever thought about how miracles happen? If we take Christ's miracles and do a deep dive into them, do you think you would understand how they happened? There have been miracles throughout history, even today. Have you ever thought about how these happen? I think that the fade of the day with all the New Age activities tell us that we can achieve this with a change of mind. In fact, we discussed this in previous chapters. However, just how does enlightenment happen? Better yet, can anyone even define enlightenment's true meaning? Can you find anything in any New Age movement being God-centered? Most New Age movements are centered on self. If we were to ask now, even after having read the previous chapters, can you identify how energy and frequency increases in our bodies? I wonder if the majority of you might not even understand that our cells throughout our body are made up of energy and are directed by the heart brain as to body function through frequency. It is important for a healthy body that we continue to increase our energy, feeding the cells with the correct energy vibrations, and increase the frequency of the communication from the heart brain to the cells, in order they continue to be programmed to receive their messaging from the heart brain and not the mind brain. I wonder how many really understand how healing from illness actually happens. Do you ever wonder how your thought processing is controlled? Do you understand that your life and the actions you do each and every moment, each and every day, for 24 hours a day, 365 days, year after year, is controlled in the majority of cases not by you, but by what you eat, what you hear, what you see, what you breathe, and what you touch. Wow! In order to gain the knowledge for the mind brain to allow the heart brain to provide the wisdom of God, to increase the energy and frequency of communication, we have to change our thought processing to the same as the thinking of God through ascension of thought. That in utilizing the many spiritual senses, we have to come to the understanding and acceptance that at the root of gaining all of this is through our movement into the light, God's love, the true embodiment of the universe. There is nothing that will change our lives, our homes, our communities, our local, state, federal governments, unless we move into the light and start using the keys of the kingdom. Thank you for joining us in this exploration of understanding that God is pure love. Until next time, remember to keep the faith, stay strong, and continue to shine your light in the world.
