Exposing the darkness
Ephesians 1:18
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.
1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
Matthew 10:37
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
Being loved
Several people have e-mailed me and asked do I believe that every one can find true love? A sexual addict said Tim I do allot of things to myself, what guy could accept me even though I have done several wrongs? A woman that was a prostitute said I don’t know if I will ever find true love because how can I admit I sold my body for food? Another woman asked I was in several porno movies how do I admit that I have sex on film? Or another person says, I was sexually seduced by a demon now I am too ashamed to tell any one that I had sex with a demon. Then another person asked what if I was gay and now I am set free from that wickedness, do you think I can find love?
Now what I really want to focus on is love. What is love? Can a person who has been sexually abused find love? Can a person that has no hope find love? Can a person that has lived in a world of Satanism; the occult, racial hatred or witchcraft find true love? So let’s look at what love is.
1 Corinthians 13:1-15 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
See I have received e-mails from sex addicts, sexually abused people, people that have come out of hard life styles and people who were deeply hurt. So many times people say do you think I will ever find true love. So let’s look at what God says: Romans 8:31 what then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
See we, as Christians need to realize that no matter what we have had to endure or go through in life, God is always there for us. God is so loving, sincere, filled with compassion, mercy and grace. When some one e-mails me and says this or that of what has happened to them I let them know how deeply sorry I am they went through that but just because you were raped, or you were a prositute, or you were sexually abused or beat on doesn’t mean that by any means you were made unlovable. Please realize that God sent his only begotten son to die for you, through a miserable and painful death just so you and I could be given an opportunity to know the love of God. For 18 years now I have been writing people in prison and one thing that amazes me that they have in common is with Satanist is they believe there is no redemption for themselves because they did this or that but please realize that God truly does love you and he truly wants to know you.
So if you can talk to co-workers or a friend for hours why can’t you just humble your self and spend some time with God each day? If you don’t know where to start, start with this simple prayer: Lord Jesus Christ I come before you today asking you to forgive me for my sins and I ask from this day forward that you would be my lord and savior. Now get a holy bible and just start reading Matthew, mark, Luke and john. Than each day start asking Jesus what’s in your heart? What is it you desire me to do that would please you with my life?
Jesus Christ wants me to send a message out that he wants to hear from you. If you have fallen away come back, his loving arms are stretching out. If you don’t know Jesus Christ, come to know him, if you say Tim I have done this or that how could He possibly love me? Read my testimony. Jesus Christ loves you more than you can imagine. If you’re a parent and your child gets hurt, it hurts you. So please just imagine what is happening to God seeing so many people hurting, wanting to die, feeling hopeless like no one cares but not one word is ever spoken out to the one that created you and loves you more than you could ever realize.
Gods’ heart is being broken because his own children aren’t even talking to him when he knows that he could take away their pain, suffering and loneliness. So to sum it all up, yes every one can find true love. One last point I need to make is sex isn’t love, so many people think if I just find the right sexual partner I will be satisfied in life but sad to say these people don’t realize that if you have a job and your spouse has a job some times sex just isn’t going to happen and you cant base your love life on how much your sexual needs are being fulfilled. If you really want to discover true love discover a heart for Jesus Christ and love just fills your heart.
