Thoughts on Man, Woman and Unconditional Love

Anne Graham Lutz, Greetings in Jesus name, I agree with your premise and explanation but feel one area needs to be represented that it missed. The point that we all have a void to be filled by Jesus as Savior is universal for all and for all time. That settled I would like to introduce the "next in line" participant to "complete" what is missing in most women's lives. A God fearing, Unconditionally Loving Man. I believe that most women today suffer oppression in the everyday things of life because most men don't know how to express Unconditional Love to their wives, and more so to woman, married and unmarried alike. Somewhere along the line of time and tradition men became less Godly and that made them less manly. Because the man is the head of woman in the line of succession, and Christ the Head of man, our relationship in Love to our wives and other women are in direct alignment with where men are with Christ as their Head. Simply put: close to the heart of Christ, close to the heart of wife/woman. Men who have experienced (in a real sense) the Unconditional Love of God through Jesus Christ, can then pass it down in the treatment of woman/wife. When a man shows a woman Unconditional Love she is twice completed. Once by Christ who fills that which is lacked, an secondly by the Unconditional Love of God in man from whence she was taken at creation. She was made our help meet by God by completing "what we are not" adding the more tender effeminate personality to our nature. I believe no one, and especially no man, can be loving and kind of himself, thereby "the Love of God is shed in our hearts by the Holy Ghost" as a guide to, and instructor in Unconditional Love. My story is thus so. I always loved (notice small l in the word loved) my wife from day one. The kind of love that showed care, provision, concern, and kindness. We have always had a very good relationship. Then at the age of 31 Christ became my Savior and I started to learn how shallow my love was. I would continually pray to be filled with His Spirit and to teach me to Love as He Loves. He is faithful and He did. This happened in several supernatural ways. First was a dream where I was taken into heaven for the whole night and sat before Christ as He instructed me on Unconditional Love. Second time was a vision wherein His very presence radiated so much Love that I had to collapse before Him and worship Him. I speak this not as some sort of show of godliness or self adulation but only to point out what degree God will go to show and give us Unconditional Love. If all women were treated by men with the preciousness that God designed them to have they wouldn't have to add other things to make them fill fulfilled. That doesn't mean that women can't have jobs or any interests but it does mean that they won't have to fill the thing that completes them with distractions. Men, Godly men, Unconditionally Loving men, will add the missing piece to the lives of women, if they are so inclined to be married. Then having received that from man and adding their own personal experiences with Unconditional Love through Christ, life will be good indeed. Just a short but not complete representation of the subject. Of course Godly women, without men are complete in Christ and His Unconditional Love.

Thoughts on our present time

Everyone has some perception of "the spiritual realm" of some kind. Many false, (not based on the Holy Bible), and many True, (based on the Word of God.)

Wherever your "application" falls that's your business.

Many say "I don't discuss politics or religion", and for them that's good.

Because God is Omniscient, (knowing all things from before the beginning till the end), the fact of the matter is that every facet of creation, life, and the governance thereof, has to do with faith, (wrongly stated as religion).

The way you believe about everything is faith based whether you admit it or not. Here in is the fault of having "little faith".

I do not know where you are at with "your faith", as faith relates to your experience in what you believe about God and HIs Word Jesus Christ. You may believe all that scripture has to say or you may "pick and choose" what it has to do with you personally, or not.

I believe squarely on the Absolute Truth of Scripture for "every Word of God be true." Romans 3:4 "Let God be True and every man a liar."

So, my experiences of Faith in God has come directly from Scripture and has been confirmed so. This statement is not for argument or comparison with you, but it's a testimony to what my faith in God's Word has proven True in my life.

That being settled here is what I believe about our present condition in this Great Nation:

It is clear in Scripture that everything represented in this physical world was know of God before he began creation, and has it's true form in the spirit realm.

Many believe that "we" physically control what happens here because our "faith" is week or not based on Scripture, kind of like a "pipe dream", even though we allow our "vain imaginations" to rule our thoughts and opinions like a merciless task master. We fight and scream "we're right" when in essence "your wrong" based on "little faith", and the thought that your opinion is final, even when it's against Scripture.

Here is the perfect verse that sets the "why" of whats going on now, and throughout "all time" since creation, perfectly stating what realm we are warring against:

Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

These principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness have been at play working in the hearts of man since "the beginning" of man in creation, in this worldly realm that we call reality. The here and now. The same that it was "in the beginning" which has now been deemed the past. They have always been active, destructive, perverse, demanding, destroying, twisting the human heart against God and HIs Word Jesus Christ. Remember that Jesus Christ was there in the beginning with God:

John 1King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

As shown in Ephesians these demonic influences has been here twisting our hearts and thoughts whether or no you believe it and they influence every human heart that is now or has ever been. The only victory over these hateful and demonic spirits is to have Jesus Christ supremely seated in your heart as Lord and Savior, and bringing every thought into obedience of Him. Even weak Christians, (those of little faith) will succumb to these pervasive temptations, even acting upon them, if the Word of God is not fully given place in every "thought, word and deed. "Jesus is the Word and the Word (Truth) sets free." Sadly there are many Christians who believe not the whole Word of God, but again pick and choose what should apply to them and what doesn't.

"God's Word is Spirit" and only those who have the Holy Spirit constantly refilling them will be able to "discern the Truth" and embrace it. Others will not give God's Word rule over their lives by faith and so suffer the deceptions of the devil.

Let it be known at this time that there are those who "completely believe", the "remnant", who do spiritual warfare daily for this nation, and because of them "we have hope". Mighty winds of change has come because of these "prayer warriors" and we now have a "time of blessing" ushered in by God's hand in the form of our new administration.

There are many antagonist against this "act of God", who vehemently and continually attack his efforts to stop this immorality, abortion, and other "allowances" that fly in the face of true righteousness.

Now, for sure, those who are politically polarized against this new administration, will be the first to "fly off the handle" with cursing, blame, accusation, and all forms of argument. But that is because their faith is small and their vision of who God actually is, (not what they think He is"), is also flawed.

He (God), knows all things, from the beginning of time till it's end. That's called Omniscience.

He (God), is all powerful and reigns over all creation. Omnipotence.

He (God), is everywhere, at once, in all His creation. Omnipresent.

Because of this, He (God) knew our present time, situation, and needs so that He could intervene with the answer to our problems. These problems exists because we have "agreed" with the powers of darkness to get rid of God in all the earth by allowing governance to regulate HIm out of our daily expressions of life, faith, and worship. This statement is an "in general" statement representing our present, average person participating in this governance. It has nothing to do with those who "pray without ceasing" knowing the power of God and HIs actual Kingdom position in all the earth.

For once we have a president that invites prayer back into the White House and wants to lead by Gods direction, (for what he knows of such), and the country, (which calls itself basically Christian), is appalled, contentious, and condemning of these actions.

Does anyone see that the violence and malice of these protests are beyond carnal but demonic in expression? Not that everyone must agree on one application but that these are driven beyond the human realm into the demonic. Am I saying that those who appose this administration are demonic? No. But I am saying that they are swayed by their "little faith, or lack thereof" to participating in an aggression that is demonic. We can all have our "opinions" with civility and order. God is Love and anything outside of Love is not of God. So Christians beware on who's agenda you are supporting. If you don't agree with this new governance so be it, but to act out, speak out. and lash out with malice and hate, puts you on the "other sides" team. I disagree with many things on the wise of this worlds present path, but I don't express myself with hate and malice.

So now do you still think that politics and faith are not the same? Do you have a better knowledge of God's involvement in our present condition?

My faith tells me that He has once again "intervened" in our lives to bring us back to His standards (His Word), because He is about to return and claim those true believers, who await His coming.

Nothing that has happened in all of time has ever been outside the eyes of God or the means of His intervention for good.

I believe that our present condition is to bring us back to His grace by His Love, so that we might have a time of reprieve from the ever increasing wickedness going on in all the earth, (and especially America), and (if we cooperate), once again make us the "light" on a hill.

Right now both Christians and non believers are fighting for the right of abortions, sodomy, same sex marriages, and a plethora of other sinful ways to be legislated in as acceptable, without the allowance that any other "view" be allowable. This is why this renewed time of grace is being brought in by God to stem this flowing wickedness.

Isaiah 59:9

So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

I believe that God has, by moving in our hearts, brought in this administration so a standard can be raised against this flood of perverseness that our wicked hearts have given rise to.

Seek Gods face with prayer and fasting.

Know what His Word says.

Agree with Him.

Be a part of this revival that is to come.

His Word

God's Word is important!

It's important to read,

It's important to hear,

It's important to speak,

It's important to obey,

It's important to have faith in.

What you believe about His Word will be shown in every decision you make and action you take.

What you believe will bare the "fruit of life" that is either good or bad.

What you do with His Word will either become a blessing or curse to you.

Remember that it is so important that "in the beginning was the Word." Creation started by "the Word." Creation will end by "the Word." The Word is "life and light." Truth is at it's foundation as "every Word of God is true".

Treat His Word as such. Truth, "Truth that sets free."

Always remember that it is His Word, not mans word, God's Word!

Without beginning, without end, eternal in heaven, on earth, and throughout creation.

Love His Word and it will teach you to love others.

God bless and keep.

Good night,

Love

Salute to live and love.

I look at life's dusk moments with a greater and more emphatic presence to need to express myself to you ward.
We've laughed, we've cried, and life has moved us to this point when fellowship is real, and love is true. We (all of us), has tasted of life and it has been sweet, not without some sorrow, but sweet and rife with the pleasures of intimacy through communications, hugs, kisses, and the presence of one another. That comforts me, this reunion of life in our passing days. The thoughts, memories, and conversations that we share and have shared, the laughs and glasses of wine or good food that has blessed our bellies and warmed our souls, all things good that have been appropriated and shared because we dared to live as one with love and appreciation.
Salute to those who,
Experience joy unspeakable,
Salute to those who,
Embrace life like God designed it,
Salute to those who,
Put aside trivial half truths and see the reality of fellowship,
Salute to those who,
Love without end, who truly care for others,
Salute to those who,
Embrace others "just because" they need embracing,
Salute to those who,
Ignore contention and call the offenders "friends",
Salute to those who,
Would be like Christ for the sake of all, regardless of cut or character.
Salute to those who,
Would sacrifice self for the greater glory, for the good of mankind.
God bless those who would sow the seeds of God's will upon the earth, without rhyme or reason as to where it would land just because it's the only hope for good in the earth.
God bless and keep,
From

Relationships

It's in the "longevity of life" that we learn the preciousness of relationships.
It's in the "relationships of life" that we experience the value of ourselves and others.
It's in the "value of this experience" that we can make a difference in others.
It's in the "difference we make" to others that our fruit are proven good or bad.
Every interaction sets up a level of relationship and thereby responsibility.
God's heart toward us and our relationship with him was important enough to send His only Son to "seal the relationship".
Whats in your heart to do to seal your relationships?
A heart that prompts a smile, kind word, listening ear, or gentle action is a heart that has precious relationships and offers the story of a mature life.

Thoughts on Love.

Personally I believe that life starts in three different ways:

1. Physical life starts at birth.

2. Spiritual life starts at being "born again."

3. Heart life starts with "true love."

I was introduced to my parents at birth.

I was introduced to my Savior when I was born again.

I was introduced to the love of my life and soul mate when I fell in love with my Wife.

Love brings about intimacy in all these 3 references.

Love makes each of these relationships strong.

Love inspires a higher effort in them all.

Love brings each expression into the eternal.

When I married "the love of my life" I vowed till death do us part.

Since then I have realized that Love is like a seed that, when planted in good soil, grows into an unimaginable intimacy which becomes richer and fuller each and every day.

My Love for my wife is so intense that it borders explainable.

Everyday that we wake up and cast that first look at each other in bed I realize how blessed we are to share another day. A Love so rich that it seems to never end in expression. Kisses, hugs, butt grabbing, tender words, gentle embraces, special actions, and sacrificial efforts are all just a natural, unthought of expression of that Love. They become as natural as breathing.

Can you tell where your Love's eyes lead to?

Can you tell the difference in her/his breathing?

Can you feel the movements of his/her body?

Does she/he know "your every thought."

Do you now her/his moods and what they mean?

Are there expressions of unplanned touching? What about that passing caress or kiss.

Does your kiss express need or is it just there to please and show Love?

Does your eyes express your intentions?

Do they commit to unconditional love when she/he sees them?

Is your efforts for a purpose other than letting them know that they are an intimate part of your life. Precious and irreplaceable?

Are you both truly ONE?

Are you working towards that goal?

Do you have reservations that slow the growth of Love?

Do you need "breaks" from each other?

Do you need separate rooms for tv or some other different interests?

Do you have any reason, other than work, that separates you from embracing both of your "oneness?"

You have to be together to become one!

Falling in Love is a continuing process "till death do we part."

Love is a decision that should never fail, because Love cannot fail. That is real Love cannot fail.

Lust will fail.

Infatuation will fail.

Tolerance will fail.

Attraction will fail.

But Love will never fail.

Love also continues to grow, in hard times and good.

Why???????

Because God is Love and God cannot fail.

He decided to Love before creation.

He proved His Love in Jesus Christ.

He Loves us now regardless of our state in sin or sanctification.

Real meaningful life starts with Love.

What we believe doesn't change God.

I am glad that what we believe and how we believe doesn't effect who God is or how He reigns.

Here are the basics:

He "is" omniscient.

He "is" omnipresent.

He "is" omnipotent.

He "cannot" change.

So lets lay this foundation so we can all see what can be built off of it.

Omniscient: All knowing. What does that mean? That He knew all things, peoples, actions, decisions, times in historic events, and the outcomes of all these, simultaneously BEFORE He started creation. That's right, before He made the first day of creation, He already knew the outcome of every thought, word and deed, including actions, personal, social, and global. He knew every page of history, (all inclusive), till Revelation 22:21 takes place in the end, everything.

Omnipresence: Scripture says that "He fills all His creation." There is nowhere we can go, above the ground, under the ground, or in space where He is not with us. We cannot escape His presence in this creation. Another scripture says "in Him we live and move and have our being." This apply's to both saved and unsaved. He is all places, for all times, from (again) before the creation until the very end when He withdraws His Holy Spirit from this earth.

Omnipotent: He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings in every realm that anything exists. His Name is above all Names, in both heaven and earth, and that at the mention of that Name every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. His will be done. As in the Our Father that is prayed "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Again "for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever, Amen." What does this mean? There is no greater authority, or power in creation that can challenge His.

He cannot change: He will not abdicate His authority in any matter. In the promises He made concerning His creation, or the freedom he gave each one of us to choose our own path. His promises for forgiveness through Jesus Christ hold good "till the end", His promises for healing, raiment, food, blessings, cursing, signs and wonders, miracles, will not end as long as life goes on, again "till the end."

So at this point I can hear the outcry about free will vs. predestination. Because God is Omniscient, knowing all things from before creation. Because He knew and Loved each of us before we were formed in the womb, (this means, names, attitudes, all thoughts, all actions throughout our whole lives, where we would live, who our parents would be, how long we would live, every sin we would commit, in fact everything about us from cradle to grave, He could place in our lives consequences (good or corrective) to inspire us to believe His Word and move (decide) for His ways. The choice is still ours but He already knows what we are going to do. Some say this is predestination. Not so. According to scripture Jesus died for all to be saved. Everyone. That none should perish. That's the predestination part, that we would all have fellowship with God the Father. The Omniscient part of God gave Judas Iscariot, through prophesy, the choice by Love but knowing that even the Love of God, time with Christ, and unending mercy's, would not influence his actions sealing his fate.....before creation. I do believe that because God seen his traitorous, unchangeable heart, he place him in a setting (with Jesus) that would let him witness the fullest expression of Love so he had no excuse "in that day." We were already, since the beginning, known of God, which means that He did not influence our nature before we were created thousands of years in the future. We were "back then" before we were created, as we are now. We had been given, in a sense, our free will to choose back then. Judas, back then, had a heart of betrayal that would not change so God used it for His redemption plan.

The only influence God has placed on us is His Love through His Word, there in we choose to allow it (by agreement) to change our hearts and call him Abba Father. God knowing how powerful HIs Love is stated that "none should perish but have eternal life."

So the main predestination of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Again God knowing the effect of HIs Love on all mankind. Will there be people in hell, yes, because from the beginning their wicked hearts were hardened of their own (pre) volition.

I know this is hard to understand with the carnal mind but knowing the Love of God in the Spirit makes it quite clear. Is your god a God only in your mind or is He the God of your mature spirit man, a revelation by the Holy Spirit? Is the Unconditional Love of God so weak that He called us all into being in the womb to sanction us to hell without giving us a hope of redemption? If that were true then HIs Love is not unconditional and our hope is only a whim. God so Love the world that He "gave" His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life." This is the ever enduring Love that makes God's Love unconditional to all mankind, having power over sin and death if we believe in Jesus Christ.

Any fight we have with God's Word and it's understanding is purely our own. He has given the means to understand it (the Holy Spirit), and the heart to apply it.

God is in control of all events whether you believe, agree, concur or not.
