This post on Defending-Gibraltar (DG) was to announce publication of the latest article; to let everyone know to please share that article which introduces Christs.net. Share one or both links as appropriate and inspired:
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 13:47 Again, The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the Furnace of Fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
How many believed on My Name after seeing the signs which I did?
Not for the signs, not for the water made wine, not for My miracles, will My true follower believe Me.
No, for something deeper, seen only with the eyes of faith, realized only by a heart of love responding to My Heart of Love. Not of these must it be said, "I do not trust Myself unto them," as I said of those who saw My signs.
I must trust Myself and My Cause to My followers who see Me with eyes of faith. How else can I be loved and known?
They will meet Me, the outcast Saviour, when I am performing no mighty deeds, wandering unheeded and unacclaimed through dark and lonely ways, and they will pause, all other pursuit forgotten, and will yet turn and follow Me.
Follow because of some chord in them responsive to the yearning of My Heart for Man, who has shut Me out. Follow, too, because of that in Me which is responsive to the cry of man's hungering soul.
You are to help to save others. Never let one day pass when you have not reached out an arm of Love to someone outside your home - a note, a letter, a visit, help in some way.
Be full of Joy. Joy saves. Joy cures. Joy in Me. In every ray of sunlight, every smile, every act of kindness, or love, every trifling service - joy.
Each day do something to lift another soul out of the sea of sin, or disease or doubt into which man has fallen. I still walk to-day by the lakeside and call My disciples to follow Me and to become fishers of men.
The helping hand is needed that raises the helpless to courage, to struggle, to faith, to health. Love and laugh. Love and laughter are the beckoners to faith and courage and success. Trust on, love on, joy on.
Refuse to be downcast. Refuse to be checked in your upward climb. Love and laugh, I am with you. I bear your burdens. Cast thy burden upon Me and I will sustain thee. And then in very lightheartedness you turn and help another with the burden that is pressing too heavily upon him or her.
How many burdens can you lighten this year? How many hearts can you cheer? How many souls can you help?
And in giving you gain: "Good measure, pressed down and running over." I your Lord have said it.
The Authorised 1611 king James Bible renders in Matthew 24:27, “as the lightening commeth out of the East (dawn), and shinneth unto the west (sunrise)”.
And in Luke 17:24, “as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven” (lightning’s light is a fraction of daylight, and goes top to bottom?).
The subsequent king James version and others have confounded the true meaning by changing Matthew 24:17 to lightning.
I am beside you. Can you not feel My Presence? Contact with Me is not gained by the senses. Spirit-consciousness replaces sight.
When man sees Me with his human sight it does not mean of necessity that his spiritual perception is greater. Nay, rather that for that soul I have to span the physical and the spiritual with a spiritual vision clear to human eyes.
Remember this to cheer My disciples who have never seen Me, and yet have had a clear spiritual consciousness of Me.
Very thankful that the article about Seeing Christ is on Gibraltar Messenger. Today's YODA reminded me of it.
