“Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight? You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place? The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down. Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet. He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade him before the king of terrors. Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God.”” Job‬ ‭18‬:‭3‬-‭4‬, ‭7‬, ‭11‬, ‭14‬, ‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Greetings BeLoved child of THE MOST HIGH GOD YAH ELOHIM: THE AUTHOR ✍🏽 Of our hearts beat: ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER: THE ALPHA AND OMEGA: THE CREATOR: THE WORD OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT ADVOCATE  COMFORTER  HEALER… THE GREAT I AM; Closer than a Brother, Greater than any Friend our CONSTANT SOURCE GOODNESS HOPE 24/7/365 AGAPÈ LOVE Embodied In The Person Of JESUS CHRIST THE HUMBLE SERVANT AND SAVIOR… “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” I John‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭ “And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, ❤️“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”” Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭35‬ ‭ BeLoved Beware of The spirits of pride: offense, contempt /hatred, defensiveness, self righteousness, belittling/ condescension, condemnation, selfishness, envy/ covert covetousness … the enemy of our souls is the originator of these “feelings” and has demons of the same name that he uses with strategic precision, rather easily (flesh reactions) and regularly against the children Of GOD⚠️  by human standards this doesn’t make you a “bad person” rather a person manipulated by a deceptive spirit from the spirit realm due to a knowledge deficit regarding YHWH ELOHIM, spiritual warfare /realm, THE WORD And The Bible, our words and experiences. Which brings me to today’s lesson: Friendly Fire Still Burns, there is a way to Rebuke with LOVE, to speak a hard Truth and still Educate/ Edify/ Build Up Not Tear Down; no one should want to jump off a bridge or cut themselves after a conversation with a “child of GOD”; if that happens we’ve missed the mark. Let’s examine what Job’s “friend” Bildad lends to the conversation ““Terrors frighten him on every side And chase at his heels. “His skin is devoured by disease; The firstborn of death [the worst of diseases] consumes his limbs. “He is torn from his tent which he trusted [for safety], And he is marched and brought to the king of terrors (death). “Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked and the ungodly, And such is the place of him who does not know or recognize or honor God.”” Job‬ ‭18‬:‭11‬, ‭13‬-‭14‬, ‭21‬ ‭AMP‬‬ {https://bible.com/bible/1588/job.18.11-21.AMP]  Bildad Speaks: God Punishes the Wicked: Clearly he believes Job did this to himself, is as good as dead and needs to get over himself: Wow; throwing words like darts to cut into someone, check them or put them in their place, kicking them when they’re down (ill, hard times…) or finally less than you, is dirty work and downright evil! Please check yourself and what spirits you might be entertaining ✅ Model CHRIST: LOVE With Intention “For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭AMP‬‬  “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭24‬ ‭  “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭10‬ ‭LOVE LIKE CHRIST BeLoved 🥰 Be A Blessing Be Love. Is A Friend Without Benefits: Sympathy Empathy Kindness Compassion Understanding A Friend At All?

Today’s lesson  Job 18/42, today’s verses: “Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,” Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭ “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” I Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭31‬ “And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, ❤️“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”” Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭35‬ ‭ “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 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.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭
