CHARITY

Charity, watch and study children. Unless we become as little children. CHARITY what it is and how to keep it. First Corinthians 13:4; Charity suffereth long, and is kind, charity envieth not (resentment of another's gain)..charity vaunteth not itself (boast or brag on its self)..is not puffed up,
5..Doth not behave it self unseemly, (always conducts their self in a respectful and descent , very polite manner. Seeketh not her own (not selfish or greedy, but always thinking of others. Is not easily provoked ( didn't say couldn't be provoked but takes a lot to provoke you.. Thinketh no evil...love thinketh no evil about anyone.. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things..
I have talk to people and some will say..I had love for a while when I first got saved, but I lost it in a few days.. People don't understand that to keep love, you have to pray every time someone does you wrong..and God will take all the hurt feelings away..we can't love in our self..
The devil will always do something to you, to cause you to have a feeling about someone, to cause you to lose your love..someone will really treat you bad, they will use you, abuse you, lie to you and most of these things are done by half backslide christians, who has lost their love and are trying to make everyone think they are full of God's love..You have to fight to keep your love..the bible says no one can seprate us from the love of God..but there is something we have to do, to keep them from taking it..Its all up to you..you will have to humble your self and want that love more than anything and everytime someone hurts you, go immediately and pray for God to take it away..if you think on what they have done more than once or twice, it will began take root in you, ..pray soon as it happens..fight with everything in you..in prayer. We can keep it and no one can take it from us, if we want to keep love, bad enough to fight for it..anything that is not worth fighting for isn't worth much, is it? Some people don't understand how it keep it..we have got to pray every time the devil plants some crab grass in our garden. Every time someone does us wrong go pray, till you get rid of it..you can't stop thoughts from coming through your mind but you can stop them from staying there and taking root in your heart...by praying and rebuking the thoughts soon as they enter your mind..this will keep your love. Remember God is love, the devil is always trying to plant a evil thought or a feeling against someone to polute your spirit..God's love can't stay where there is bitterness and bad feeling toward others..
we can get rid of every though through the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:13; For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye THROUGH THE SPIRIT do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Praying in the spirit, brings down every strong hold, that the devil and the flesh has.. we can't do it our selfs. We can not keep feelings out of us by doing it our self...trying to be nice, trying to love every one, trying to be kind..that is trying in your self and well they say we got to love everyone...Thats a lie..We will love everyone if we have God. It comes natural, you don't try to, you just do...and you keep it by praying... If you look at someone and have a bad thought or think of something they have done to you..go and pray until, you can look at them, with no remembrance of their wrongs toward you..it's as though they have never done anything to you...that is the look of love..if you stop praying and still have the bad feeling toward them, go back and pray again, until you can look at them as if they have done nothing..Then it is gone but not until.. Eyes of love sees no fault, holds no grudges, has no bad feeling toward anyone, has no evil thoughts, only pure thoughts about others. You are like a child you will pray soon as you are hurt or treated like trash..and God will wipe it from your mind..it will be completely gone.. and you want throw it up to them the next time they start on you..Your only thought will be that you know they are bound by the devil and you will do everything you can to help set them free..cause remember you were once bound yourself. Remember love thinks no evil.. Thats what happen to me when I was full of hate..I was tired of being mistreated and I stoped praying and started intertaining the devil and everytime the devil would say, you ought to do this or that to them..I would lay and think about it and agree with my thoughts until, the spirit of hate intered into me. And I became so full of hate, that I become violet. Quick as the thought comes start rebuking it, don't listen to it the second time..read, pray do something to drive it out... soon it want be so hard to get rid of it. Your love will begin to grow and grow. See the more we love the more of God we get and remember God is love..everyone is trying to get God in other ways..the only way to get more of God, is get more of love cause God is love..So see don't seek the gifts, seek the gift giver..Jesus is love..no love no Jesus. You will began to see your love grow and then and only then will God begin to use you..His anointing will began to get stronger and stronger in you. Salt that has lost it savor is good for nothing.. Before you can do great works for God you must first humble your self and force, make, your flesh suffer the wrong, by making your flesh pray. It's like trying to tame a wild mule. We have to force it to pray..Soon it will come easy. Your reward will be so much greater, that you will begin to, run to Jesus..I had rather have his love than anything. Lord just kill my flesh completely so I can be filled with your love..Then if we love him and become filled with his love..WE WILL KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.. Verse one..Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal..(no anointing what so ever, theres a sound in love, it will get the vilest sinners attention...when nothing else would help LOVE LIFTED ME.
Verse 2...And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing...(lets stop running in vain).. It's plain, no matter what we do it will profit us nothing with out charity...we are wasting our time..
I use to seek for everything, I wanted this and I wanted to do that for God...I wanted the gifts, I wanted all the great power of God. I would fast till I was skinny and white as a ghost.. When all the time I needed to be praying for more love..fill me with your devine love and all this will come. The greatest christian to me is one that will say, "I'm sorry.. We all make mistakes, but we are suppose to say please forgive me, "I AM SORRY"..
This is what is wrong with 99 percent of the church.. It's not about what we have done, but it is what he has already done. There is nothing like the love of God..There is no words to describe it..life is so wonderful with the love of God..When you see no faults, no nothing, no respect of person...everyone is a like to you.. My x-husband's brother, use to treat me like trash. He called me snake handler..He would curse me, throw rocks at me..I would take him food that I had cooked and he would through it out in the yard. I still prayed and loved him as if he had done nothing to me. One day he went be hind our home, we lived by him and he shot my dog, he didn't completely kill it, so he dragged it around to the front door and was beating it with a stick and cursing, until he killed it..and knocking on my door..Which me and my daughter was in the house but I wouldn't answer the door..after it was over..I went to the woods and prayed..when I came back, there was no feeling in my heart at all toward him...many many things he did to me...later on he became very ill and was in the hospital dieing...instead of calling the preacher to come and pray for him..He wanted me..why? Because he knew that I could not love him in my flesh, it was impossible...He knew it had to be a higher power that was causing me to love him..You see sometimes we don't want to go through things..But let me ask you a question. How could he have seen the love of God, being manifested in me, if he hadn't of done the things he did..it's not hard to love people when they are good to you..See God sometimes lets bad things happen to us, to show them his love... And if we aren't careful, we will panic and not let our light shine...In other words, how could God have showed his power, except he let the three hebrew children be cast into the fire... Instead of whinning, let God use you, this is what wins people to Christ..letting them see God's love being manifested through you..when they know that you should by rights hate their guts...and in my self or say if this would have happened to me when I was full of hate..He would have probably got shot.. No one is willing to suffer, so others can be saved. People love is the only thing that will win people to God..all this other stuff is a waste of time. Are you willing to humble yourself, this is putting God first..Do you really want God? Are you willing to suffer the wrong and pray so God can manifest his self through you? You want lose, do you believe the scriptures? If so abide by them. Pray and let his word come alive in you..The Bible says the unbeliving husband is sanctifyed by the sanctifyed wife..Do you believe that? Do you want your husband or wife to be saved..Then get sanctifyed. Go back to Matthew and start abiding by the word..don't render evil for evil..but when they curse you, bless them...Start praying and fasting for the right things. You will never be used or have God's power, until you are willing to go in the fire..and come out with love.
