| God's Righteousness |
| Through Jesus Christ’s life, crucifixion and
resurrection, he showed me God values man more than anything else.
Jesus loves a person, not by looking at his money or power or social
acceptance. Jesus loves the kids, lepers, women caught for adultery,
Zacchaeus and his disciples in the same wave length. If God never
valued human beings, Jesus after his resurrection would have criticized,
cursed and punished his disciples and those who persecuted him. |
| Jesus destroyed the lie of the Devil that, God never
loved man through his life, death, resurrection and through the Gift
of the Holy Spirit. |
| Through Jesus, God showed me that if I give up the
knowledge given by the Devil, and receive the knowledge given by Jesus
in my spirit and if I receive the life giving tree in my spirit then
God will receive me whole heartedly. |
| That’s why in (Isaiah: 1:18) the Lord says, “Now,
let’s settle the matter. You are stained red with sin, but I
will wash you as clean as snow. Although your stains are deep red,
you will be as white as wool.” |
| When God is looking at me what matters for God is my
sin (my misunderstanding about God) not my sins. The root cause for
my sins is my misunderstanding about God. If I am able to overcome
my misunderstanding about God (with the help of Jesus), then God will
help me to get rid of my sins with the help of the Holy Spirit. |
| People going through different types of problems are
not supposed to see God through their problems but through Jesus Christ’s
work. |
| Jesus showed me that if I believe that money and other
material things are God’s blessings then I am not able to love
God. |
| That is why Jesus said in Luke 18:24: Jesus saw that
he was sad, and said, “How hard it is for rich people to enter
the Kingdom of God! It is much harder for a rich person to enter the
Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.”
If I believe money and other worldly possessions are God’s blessings
then it is very painful for me to stop fasting and stop praying for
money. |
| By praying for his disciples (who were going to reject
him later) Jesus showed that, that is the nature of God (John 17:9-23). |
| When Jesus prayed on the cross for the people who persecuted
him, then he was showing the world what is right for God. (Luke 23:34)
Jesus said, “Forgive them, Father! They don’t know what
they are doing.” Jesus showed that God’s righteousness
is not punishing people who have made mistakes. |
| Through Mathew 5:44 Jesus explained how a person can
become a son of God. “But now I tell you: Love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may become the sons
of your Father in heaven.” |
| In Mathew 7:12 it is written “Do for others what
you want them to do for you.” Through this word Jesus explained
to me, if I have to receive the Holy Spirit, then I have to pray for
others, to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus showed that praying
for others is God’s right. |
| Because of the word of Jesus “pray for those
who persecute you, so that you may become the sons of your Father
in heaven.” I learned to pray for those who persecuted me by
thanking, God for filling their Spirit with God’s Spirit. |
| The most harmful thing a person can do against another
person (or the toughest persecution against another person), is tell
lies told by the Devil about God to another person. That will make
him move away from God and love the gifts of the world (money, power,
social acceptance and other worldly desires). |
| Because of this reason I started to pray for the people
who taught me God is a punishing God and for the people who taught
me that worldly matters are God’s blessings. I thanked God for
filling their Spirit with God’s best gift the Holy Spirit. |
| Then Jesus showed me in John 15:1-4 “I am the
real vine, and my Father is the gardener. He breaks off every branch
in me that does not bear fruit, and he prunes every branch that does
bear fruit, so that it will be clean and bear more fruit.” |
| Through this word Jesus made it clear that God through
his spirit will clean the spirit of the people who accept Jesus’s
knowledge about God, God’s blessings and about what is good,
so as to bear more fruits in them. |
| When I started to pray for others and for the people
who persecuted me, then Jesus showed me my mistakes and drawbacks
and my faults. Then I started to pray for the people who were responsible
for my faults. When I started pray for the people who had given me
the wrong knowledge about what happened to Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden, Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit taught me what really
happened in the beginning. With the help of the Holy Spirit he rooted
out my misunderstanding that God was punishing Adam and Eve, when
they were sent out of the Garden and Jesus taught me that God loved
them more when they were sent out. |
| When this belief started growing in my mind I was able
to forgive the person, I was unable to forgive for years. This was
not possible when I believed God punished Adam and Eve in the garden. |
| This is not at all my work. This is the work of Jesus
Christ through the Holy Spirit within me. The full credit goes to
my Lord, Jesus. |
Thank you, Jesus, My Lord. |
