The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
When Jesus dwelt among you as one like you crowds followed Him and stayed many days, even when they ran out of food to eat they could not make themselves leave so much goodness and such wondrous love as they found in Him, and they were not disappointed, they left healed, blessed, and well-fed.
When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan; and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there. Matthew 19:1-2.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full. Luke 9:16-17.
In seeing Him, you see Me, for I was in Christ Jesus reconciling you to Myself, not counting your sins against you, but accounting them all to Him, the true unblemished lamb of sacrifice that took your sins, ills, pains, and shame and in Him I gave you My righteousness.
I tell you that you will know people, that is, who they really are, by their words and by the fruit of their lives. And that is the way you know Me as well. Jesus if My Word made flesh so you can see My Word living and working among you in revelation and manifestation. And I am Spirit and My fruit is clearly seen, for the fruit of My Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23.
Amazing goodness and wondrous love is what you see in Jesus and I revealed Myself to you in Him.
The world, the flesh, and the devil question My goodness and love and yet it was I who made the world and I made it good, very good. But you must understand this to understand My goodness and loving care, I gave man the leasehold to the earth, though I own the fee, and with that I gave you the gift of your own free will to choose and determine just how you want to handle the life I have entrusted to you as your own.
I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days. Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
Know what is from Me and what is not. What is not of Me you must use your free will to reject and drive out with My Word and power that resides in you who believe. And what is of Me you must receive and guard, treasure, cherish and keep. And do not let anyone talk you out of what I have freely given you. If you choose to come under My authority by obeying My Word in your life by faith you will always have the good of the land. All creation responds to My Word.
No matter what others say about Me, whether they malign Me or praise Me, how does that concern your relationship with Me? Your business is to follow Me. Do not be so busy examining others and talking about and thinking about their short comings that you miss fulfilling your high calling in Christ. Pray for them, exhort them to the truth with patience and compassion so they too can come out of the darkness to enjoy the goodness in My marvelous light. For light consists of every kind of goodness and purity. And I am light. Light in a dark and sinful world. Man has despoiled, plundered and recreated My world as much as he could but could not quite deface its inherent goodness, beauty, and love. My sun shines on the bad and the good, and My rain falls upon the just and the unjust to give wonderful crops, flowers and fruit.
“In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways; and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” Acts 14:16-17.
Stay away from doubters and questioners of My goodness and of the truth of My Word. That was what caused all the trouble and toil in the world, the first man and woman had conversations with one who gave them doubts and unbelief and then he gave them the spirit of fear. And this corrupted seed has been passed down. But you can be set free by being born again from above by the incorruptible seed of My Word of truth and renewing you mind with My Word to think My thoughts, which will cause you to walk above and not beneath the darkness that you have permitted to enter this world. Walking with Me you will be the head and not the tail.
But to this day, even though the truth is available to set you free, many of the descendants of Adam are not free but bound in darkness by Satan, the god of this world who has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they are hostile to goodness and the truth that will set them free. They do not see the glory in the face of Christ. Isaiah 60:1-2; 2 Corinth 4:6.
What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Certainly not! Let God be TRUE and every man a liar. Romans 3:3-4.
Make every fact, word, thought that comes to you line up with My Word, take every contrary fact, word, thought that comes to you captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5. What does that mean? What is the obedience if Christ? He never spoke on His own initiative or did works on His own initiative but only want He heard and saw in Me. Why? Because He knew My words and works had eternal life in them and those of the world did not. John 12:49-50.
Does it shake your faith if one you believe to be pious and holy succumbs to a disease and though many pray for healing dies? Does it upset you if your prayers are not answered immediately for healing, provision, or enlightenment? You should not be moved any more than Jesus was. It depends on your faith, your ability to receive, and, with respect to others, their faith and their ability to receive. It also rests on the love and light in that person’s heart. Unforgiveness and offense are sure blockers of the healing power to enter, not because I withhold it from them but because I cannot get it through the tightly closed door of their hardened hearts which are all intertwined with bitter roots.
Jesus always knew My Will was to heal, I am the LORD who heals you and He was the fulfillment of the power behind that flow, and He always gave healing, but He could work no healing or any miracle in His hometown of Nazareth. They had no faith in His Word (which is My Word) and they scoffed at Him and mocked Him, they even tried to kill Him. The same was true with the majority of the Pharisees, scribes, and priests. You hear of no miracles among them.
And even Herod tried to make Jesus work a miracle, but Jesus would not do one who for someone who was testing Him in bad faith.
Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice, shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it. But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it. Numbers 14:22-24.
Do you come to Me questioning My goodness and love by begging as if I will not heal and refuse to receive until you see it manifest? The faith that brings it in believes in the heart and declares it with the mouth before it is seen in the physical realm. It is given but your faith must release it.
Knowing My goodness and My love will purify your heart and give you the faith that will not quit until you have the promise in My Word. To stand firm you must live firmly rooted and grounded in My love and goodness as manifested to you in Christ Jesus your Lord.
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul. Hebrews 10:36-39.
With Paul you can say that nothing the doubters throw at you moves you because you know Me in whom you have believed because you know Me by My fruit, that you are enjoying every day, all day, and every night all night.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23.
I love you. Taste and see My goodness. Walk with Me and be free. Obey My Word and do not swerve to the right or the left and you will eat the good of the land.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. If you are willing and obey, you will eat the best of the land. Isaiah 1:18-19.
