WARNING! For people who take it upon themselves to speak cursing or to plot evil against the just, the reality of The Eternal Advocate for the people of God is clear! ...
In The Psalms of God’s written Word, The LORD warns us, "The wicked plots against the just, and gnash upon him with his teeth (backbiting). The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword will enter into their own heart, and their bows will be broken (Psalm 37:12-15)."
Also in The Psalms is an appeal from one who is recognizing that the final judgment and role of repaying evil-doers is God’s, not ours. “O LORD God, to Whom vengeance belongs;… They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But The LORD is my defense; and my God is The Rock of my refuge. And He shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, The Lord our God shall cut them off (Psalm 94:1-23)."
The second chapter of 1 John in The Holy Bible, God’s written Word, explains, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with The Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that says, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the Truth (Holy Spirit of Christ) is not in him. But whoso keeps His (God’s) Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him (1 John 2:1-5)."
The Great News from The LORD is that God’s people have an eternal Advocate, an everlasting Attorney, to represent us, “And this is the promise that He has promised us, even eternal life (1 John 2:25)”… His Name is Jesus Christ! “… If you know that He is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of Him (1 John 2:27-29).”
Hold your tongue because... your very LIFE depends on it! If we will turn from our wicked ways, repent for our destructive words and deeds against God and His Truth-loving people, and ask Jesus Christ to please forgive us... He will!
Before closing, below are a few more “gold nuggets” from God’s written Word to take away from this blogpost, to prayerfully be encouraged in your faith, today...
Remember Solomon’s consideration of life of emptiness without a relationship with God? God led King Solomon to the assessment that life on earth is unjust... oppression continues, the wicked prosper, the fruits of a man’s labor pass beyond his control, and... “It is good that you should take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not your hand: for he that fears God shall come forth of them all. Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and sins not. Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest you hear your servant curse you: For oftentimes also your own heart knows that you yourself likewise have cursed others (Ecclesiastes 7:18-22).”
Believers everywhere commonly relate to Psalm 119. “Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Your word. YOU are good, and doest good; teach me Your statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart (Psalm 119:67-69).” (Selah)
“The proud have dug pits for me, which are not after Your (God’s) law. All Your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; (Lord) please help me. They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not Your precepts. Quicken me after Your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of Your mouth. For ever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:85-89).” Amen and Amen!
Always remember and never forget: As Believers in Jesus Christ we are never alone! Each one of us is intricately important in God's infinitely wonder-filled family and membership plan. God’s passionate dream is for us to "work with Jesus Christ and The wonder-full Holy Spirit" to Glorify Him in the eyes, ears, and lives of people everywhere, and to invite and lead whosoever that will come into the pursuit of Oneness In Jesus Christ. Our Father’s purpose in all of this is for each one of us together with “The Holy Trinity” to get to enjoy true fulfillment, fullness of life, and wholeness in Life with God as Jesus Christ gave His life to provide! And anyone who calls on Jesus Christ’s Holy Name can partake in giving their Life wholly to The LORD God, through Him, by the leading of The Holy Spirit. Selah.
We pray that our brief message here will encourage you today, as never before, so much so that you will get your Bible, go find a quite place to position yourself in the pages of God's Holy written word, and ask The wonder-full Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, to meet with you there and reveal to you "what God sees when He looks at you." When The Holy Spirit personally relays to you "all" that you mean to God, the infinite love that He has for you personally and the position of honor and privilege that He has intricately designed and created you to perform and eventually fulfill "with Him" in His overall plan for His infinitely wonder-full creation, you will then learn what it truly means... to be born again.
