We all feel the assaults of the enemy. Sometimes it feels like we are barraged on several fronts everyday. We are not supposed to be punching bags for the enemy. We are not supposed to lie down and take it. We are allowed to hit back. The way we hit back has many different aspects. Sometimes it is via direct confrontation, sometimes it is by resistance, and sometimes it is by turning evil back on it self. We walk in love. We are sons and daughters of the Most High God, and we have the Holy Spirit and Christ in us. We are bigger and stronger than any nonsense that the enemy has. The ekklesia is not to be controlled by evil people and evil behaviors. If we are in Christ then we are free from the bondage of sin. We need to take back our freedom by turning the enemy’s nonsense around. Instead of swallowing critical race theory we can teach Critical Love Theory. The basis of Critical Love Theory is Jesus. We have a love story that spans past this world and our time here. We have a Lord who set us free from the chains of the god of this world who only promises eternal death. This is what we can teach the world, Critical Love Theory.
Our Critical Love Theory begins with understanding that if we are in Christ we are free from the law of sin and death.
Joh 8:36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.
Rom 8:2 For the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death.
We the ekklesia, are not obliged to be subject to evil. The problem is that there are people subject to evil, because they have not changed lordship from the satan to Jesus. Some choose Satanas as Lord and some just don’t know that there is a choice to make. But everyone desires freedom.
2Co 3:17 And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
The called out are not under the authority of the god of this world. We have revoked our citizenship to the world and are not under the power of Satanas. But again there are people who are subject to the satan because they either don’t know that they are slaves to the satan or they chose to be slaves in return for money, power, or lust.
Heb 2:14 (LITV) Since, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, in like manner He Himself also shared the same things, that through death He might cause to cease the one having the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 and might set these free, as many as by fear of death were subject to slavery through all the lifetime to live.
Jesus’ death ended the devil’s power over death. Many people feared death if they followed Jesus. But Jesus calls those who follow him friends, not slaves. People who choose Satanas are slaves.
Joh 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I loved you.
Joh 15:13 Greater love than this has no one, that anyone should lay down his soul for his friends.
Joh 15:14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
Joh 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does. But I called you friends, because all things which I heard from My Father I made known to you.
No one has greater love for us than Jesus. In laying down His life he could give us eternal life. No one else could do that. This love exceeds anything we can see here on earth in our time. This is critical love theory. We are His friends.
Let’s look at the enemy’s plan of division also known as critical race theory. This is a most absurd tool to re-educate people. Why? Because death is not the end. This world is not all there is. Let me explain.
Death and Hades are controlled by Jesus since he took back the keys to them. Paradise is also controlled by Jesus and he tells us that he will give overcomers something to eat from the tree of life in the middle of Paradise. The qualifier is that this is for the overcomer. There are no other requirements. One does not have to be a certain color, or a certain race, or a certain gender; everyone and anyone can be an overcomer and go to Paradise. Who is the god of this world? Satanas. What does Satanas want people to do? He wants people to focus on the here and now, not on eternity. There are people who are willingly forfeiting their eternal life for eternal death because they believe the satan will give them something in this life, i.e. money, power, a fulfillment of all their lusts.
While the disciples were waiting in Jerusalem for the promise from heaven (the outpouring of the Holy Spirit) we see that there were one hundred and twenty disciples hanging out together. The one hundred and twenty were all in the house of the Lord, in the courts, probably where Jesus always taught. Then the Holy Spirit came with a rushing mighty wind. People from all over, came to town for the Festival of Weeks which takes place seven weeks or fifty days after Passover. The people who came to the temple saw and heard the Holy Spirit fill the one hundred and twenty. What’s more, Luke lists what countries they were from.
Act 2:8 (LITV) And how do we hear each in our own dialect in which we were born,
Act 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those living in Mesopotamia, both Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Act 2:10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions of Libya over against Cyrene, and the temporarily residing Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretans and Arabians; in our own languages we hear them speaking the great deeds of God?
Act 2:12 And all were amazed and puzzled, saying to one another, What would this wish to be?
The people who were born in other countries, who spoke different languages, who were also practicing Jews, and were gathered for the Festival of Weeks, all heard the great deeds of the Elohim. Literally they heard “the magnificent the Elohim”. The pouring out from the disciples was to be made known in all of these countries. Critical Love Theory is for everyone, everywhere, at all times.
Paul explains to us that Christianity is a grafting in or a merging into the knowledge of Yahweh. The descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, were to teach the world. They struggled with this task, as the god of this world made them a target so that the knowledge of Yahweh would not be spread to the nations. Jesus, through his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, who came with many infallible proofs, opened the lid on what the enemy has stolen and hidden from the people of the world. Paul explains that the Jews are blind to Jesus until the fullness of the nations come in.
Romans 11:25 G3756 For I do not G1063 G2309 want G1473 you G50 to be ignorant, G80 brethren, G3588 G3466 of this mystery, G3778 G2443 that G3361 you should not G1510.3 be G3844 [2in G1438 3yourselves G5429 1intelligent], G3754 that G4457 callousness G575 [2in part G3313 G3588 3 to G* 4Israel G1096 1has happened] G891 until G3739 of which time G3588 the G4138 fullness G3588 of the G1484 nations G1525 should enter in.
1484 LSJ Gloss:ἔθνος a number of people accustomed to live together, a company, body of men
Dodson:ἔθνος a race, people, the Gentiles
a race, people, nation; the nations, heathen world, Gentiles.
Thayer:
1) a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together
1a) a company, troop, swarm
2) a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus
2a) the human family
3) a tribe, nation, people group
4) in the OT, foreign nations not worshipping the true God, pagans, Gentiles
5) Paul uses the term for Gentile Christians
ἔθνος
ethnos eth'-nos Probably from G1486; a race (as of the same habit), that is, a tribe; specifically a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication pagan)
KJV Usage: Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
The ethnos, the races, are all people. When all the people who are supposed to enter in from all the nations do enter in, then the Jews will end their callousness towards Jesus.
One trick of the enemy is for the Jews to call non-Jews Gentiles, or Goy/Goyim (ethnos in the Greek). This word has been turned into a slang word meaning “people who are lesser”, when in reality, if one follows the word through scripture we find that the word is not a slang or a degradation of any people. Shem’s sons were Gentiles/Goyim/Ethnos/Nations. It seems silly for the Jew’s to call Shem a derogatory name. It seems silly for the Jews to call Abram a Goy.
Genesis 4:4 G2532 And G2400 behold, G3588 G1242 my covenant G1473 G3326 is with G1473 you, G2532 and G1510.8.2 you will be G3962 father G4128 of a multitude G1484 of nations.
Therefore Jews are Gentiles, Goyim. Now I’m sure Rabbi’s in the Masoretic era changed the words to reflect their privilege and everyone else’s downcast race, but the Greek is older and more accurate than the Masoretic Text. Therefore all races, all ethnic groups, all nations, are in the fulfillment, the plērōma, of eiserchomai, entering. The fulfillment of entering is for all people, all nations, all races. Once the fulfillment of the nations entering into the sheepfold is finished, then the mystery is fulfilled. This promise is for everyone. This promise is for Jews as well, they can accept Jesus too. All those who believe on Jesus as Lord and believe that he rose up on the third day are saved from the day of wrath.
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Who is saved from wrath? Those who believe in Christ. If your religion teaches something different then it is mistaken.
1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Who delivered us from the wrath to come? Jesus. What are we waiting for? His Son from heaven. Jesus calls his people from the clouds, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-ff.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do
We should be putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of the hope of salvation. Then we are not appointed to wrath, but salvation. Again, if your religion teaches that you have to go through the wrath of the lamb or the wrath of the Father (which is the seven year tribulation), then it is incorrect.
Set your eyes above. There were sons of the Elohim who have fallen and have attempted to subvert The Almighty. But everything is made by Jesus, for Jesus and through Jesus, and he made us to show his infinite knowledge and manifold wisdom to the sons of the Elohim, the principalities and powers.
Eph 3:8 (LIT) This grace was given to me, I being less than the least of all the saints, to preach the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations,
Eph 3:9 and to bring to light all, what is the fellowship of the mystery having been hidden from eternity in God, the One creating all things through Jesus Christ,
Eph 3:10 so that now to the rulers and to the authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God
We, humans, are the plan whereby the fallen sons of God are judged. By us the fallen spiritual sons of God are exposed for their misdeeds, they are surprised that they have been trapped, and they will be judged by those that they are harming. The fallen sons of God now know that humanity can have the power of the Holy Spirit and the power of Christ Jesus within us. This is/was the mystery or the plan that was in place before Yahweh created humanity and the age.
Just in case someone is unaware, humankind are three part beings; spirit, soul, and body. Our body is a shell, something we are housed in. It does not matter what it looks like, who we are is spirit. We are either renewed spirit or the spirit of man. Animals have spirit as well. Once we are born again our spirit is renewed by the Holy Spirit. We all have a soul which consists of our mind, will, and emotions. We put our soul in subjection to our spirit. Our body should also be in subjection to our Spirit. Our spirit has Christ and as Christians (Christ- in) we align our body and soul to our spirit. To segment and segregate by the physical body or its appearance is the bassist form of stupidity, propagated by Satanas to trap and ensnare people. You are not your body, you live in your body, for better or worse, it is your shell for now. It will turn to dust when you are finished with it.
Paul explains that the Elohim demonstrates His wrath and makes His power known by endured patience with vessels of wrath fitted for destruction. Or in other words, the Elohim is going to show his wrath and power to those who reject him because they are vessels of wrath made for damnation.
Rom 9:22 (LIT) But if God, desiring to demonstrate His wrath, and to make His power known, endured in much long-suffering vessels of wrath having been fitted out for destruction,
Rom 9:23 and that He make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy which He before prepared for glory,
Rom 9:24 whom He also called, not only us, of Jews, but also out of nations.
Notice this, there are two groups. The one group is made for damnation, the other group is made for mercy. He does not choose which category we go in, we choose which category we go in. Are we rejecting Him? We are ready for damnation. Are we following Him? We are prepared for glory. This is not only for Jews but for all the nations. We know from the story of the numbers in the tribulation period that there will be many non-Jews living through the wrath of the lamb and the wrath of the Father. This is not an issue of Jew vs. Gentile, it is all people who believe on Jesus vs. all people who reject Jesus.
Rom 9:25 As also He says in Hosea, I will call those Not My people, My people! And those not beloved, Beloved! Hosea 2:23
Rom 9:26 "And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, there they will be called, "Sons of the Living God." LXX-Hos. 2:1; MT-Hos. 2:23
All those who believe on Jesus as Lord and that he rose up on the third day are called Sons of the Living God. We are now His people.
Rom 9:27 But Isaiah cries on behalf of Israel, "If the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved."
Rom 9:28 For He is bringing the matter to an end, and having been cut short "in righteousness," "because the Lord" "will do a thing cut short" "on the earth." Isa. 10:22, 23
Rom 9:29 And as Isaiah has said before, "Except the Lord of hosts left a seed to us, we would have become as Sodom, and we would have become as Gomorrah." Isa. 1:9
There is no division by race in the eyes of the Lord. Those who want to go to heaven can, and those who want to go to hell can.
The ridiculousness of critical race theory is that it is not a plan of inclusiveness, it is a plan that divides. That tells us that it comes from the fallen being, Satanas, who is the god of this world. Yahweh’s plan is inclusive; meaning, it is open to all. What good is CRT when you die? It does not get one into heaven. I’m not suggesting that people should be segregated, that is what critical race theory does. What I am saying that love erases all of the theories, analysis, and boundaries of man.
Col 3:10 (LITV) and having put on the new, having been renewed in full knowledge according to the image of the One creating him,
Col 3:11 where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, slave or freeman, but Christ is all things and in all.
This is Critical Love Theory, the full knowledge that Christ is all, and he is in all. No separation, no segregation, no division by color, race, or gender, no labels of oppressor or oppressed, no slaves to sin, no eternal death. No one is perfect apart from Jesus Christ. No one can be perfected apart from Jesus Christ.
1Jn 4:11 (LIT) Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1Jn 4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love having been perfected is in us.
As the ekklesia, shouldn’t we point our fingers at those who hate? Shouldn’t we point out that they are haters of others and that they have not been perfected. One cannot be perfect when one hates and divides.
1Jn 4:13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit He has given to us.
1Jn 4:14 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
1Jn 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
As the ekklesia, shouldn’t we be on the offense and point our fingers at those who hate our Lord and Savior. Shouldn’t we be calling out those who reject Jesus as Lord? We cannot be quiet. If for no other reason than to teach the congregation to be wise regarding who one listens to and submits to. We have to learn to see clearly.
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and the one abiding in love abides in God, and God in him.
This is clear vision.
1Jn 4:17 By this, love has been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment, that as He is, we are also in this world.
We have confidence in the day of judgment. The Jesus rejecters do not have confidence in the day of judgment. As Jesus is, right now, so are we in this world. It is Christ in us, as he is in his ascended body. We have the ascended Christ in us too, right now. Abiding in love the Elohim is in us and we are perfect.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment; and the one fearing has not been perfected in love.
And here is the eraser. There is no fear in love. If one judges another by race, color, or gender, that one has fear. Fear has torment and that judgmental person is not perfect in love. Both sides of the coin are erased in love. If one reacts poorly to others due to their race, color, or gender, that one is not made perfect in love. That one has torment, that one is not perfected. We need to see people with love, treat people with love, and interact with people in love, anything less from someone who calls themselves a Christian is wrong, because that one then is not made perfect in love. Fear torments people into behaving badly. Some are tormented with an oppressor’s behavior and some with an aggressors behavior. Will there be poor people among us? Yes. Will there be mental illness among people? Yes. But love overrides all the boundaries, all the walls, and all the rhetoric that the satan shoves in our faces.
1Jn 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.
1Jn 4:20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?
Here is the wrap up. If we hate our brother in the Lord then we do not know God. Shouldn’t the church be pointing some fingers at the satan’s workers of evil? Shouldn’t we make it clear to the congregation who is working in hate and who is working in love? Who murders the unborn? Not one who is perfected in love. Who sexually abuses others? Not one who is perfected in love. Who steal, kills, and destroys? Not one who is perfected in love.
1Jn 4:21 And we have this commandment from Him, that the one who loves God also loves his brother.
This is our commandment, that we are to love one another so that others will know that we are His disciples.
Joh 13:31 Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man was glorified, and God was glorified in Him.
Joh 13:32 If God was glorified in Him, God also will glorify Him in Himself, and immediately will glorify Him.
Joh 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek Me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you are not able to come; I also say to you now.
Joh 13:34 I give a new commandment to you, that you should love one another; according as I loved you, you should also love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this all shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love among one another.
We are to love one another the way that Jesus loves us. This is how people know that we are His disciples. The qualifier is the disciples of Jesus. Satanas has disciples too. We love our brothers in the Lord. We also love those who have not come to the Lord. But we are wise to those who hate us and who are disciples of Satanas, even if we are to love them. They will never see perfected love under the authority of Satanas.
Joh 15:17 (LITV) These things I command you, that you love one another.
Joh 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it has hated you.
Joh 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
The world hates you. The world hates me. The world hates those who love one another. The world only loves its own. We should not seek after the love of others. We are to love, regardless of a return on love. This means don’t expect anyone to love you back, especially if they are of the world. I wonder how many people sell their souls to the satan for the promise of being loved by others. How many people pleasers try so hard to be loved? They don’t know that Jesus loves them. But craving love from others does not get one into heaven.
Jesus explains Critical Love Theory. This is the summation of what we are all to do.
Mat 5:43 (LITV) You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor" and hate your enemy; Lev. 19:18
Mat 5:44 but I say to you, Love your enemies; bless those cursing you, do well to those hating you; and pray for those abusing and persecuting you,
Mat 5:45 so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. Because He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and unjust.
Mat 5:46 For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same?
Mat 5:47 And if you only greet your brothers, what exceptional thing do you do? Do not the tax-collectors do so?
Mat 5:48 Therefore, you be perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
It is love to pray for your enemies to be delivered. People who are cursing us, abusing us, and persecuting us are working for Satanas. They need Jesus. They will receive eternal death. But let’s keep perspective, Jesus also confronts the Pharisees, calling them children of the Devil.
Joh 8:42 Then Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I went forth and have come from God. For I have not come from Myself, but that One sent Me.
Joh 8:43 Why do you not know My speech? It is because you are not able to hear My Word.
Joh 8:44 You are of the Devil as father, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh 8:45 And because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
Joh 8:46 Who of you reproves Me concerning sin? But if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
Joh 8:47 The one who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear, because you are not of God.
Love is not all or nothing; there are times when love is telling a truth which is harsh. Sometimes love is teaching someone to fish. Sometimes love is praying for your enemies to come to the Lord. We have to learn to think, not rely on rules. Jesus told the Pharisees that if they were of the Elohim then they would love him. This is how we know who or what we are dealing with. In each and every situation, think it through. Do the abusers, cursers, or persecutors love Jesus?
Joh 14:1 Do not let your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
Joh 14:2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places. But if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you!
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.
Joh 14:4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.
Joh 14:5 Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You go, and how can we know the way?
Jesus says that he is coming again. Jesus says he will receive us. Jesus says that where he is, we will be also. This is critical love theory. He is coming for us. We are not going to suffer wrath. He is with us and in us all the time. Thomas doesn’t quite get this.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Make sure your religion leads people to Jesus because no one comes to the Father except through Jesus. There is no other way to come to the Father. One cannot bypass Jesus.
Joh 14:7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you do know Him, and have seen Him.
Joh 14:8 And Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus said to him, Am I so long a time with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one seeing Me has seen the Father! And how do you say, Show us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The Words which I speak to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me, He does the works.
Joh 14:11 Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe Me because of the works themselves.
Jesus is trying to help the disciples understand this. Let’s break this down. Judaism taught people about Yahweh, the Elohim, and the Holy Spirit. They also taught that a Messiah was coming. When the Messiah came (as we know from hindsight), the religious leaders didn’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Jesus says that if they don’t believe that the Father and He are one, and that the Father sent him, then at least believe the miracles that he, Jesus, did. That should have been enough.
Joh 14:12 Indeed, I tell you truly, the one believing into Me, the works which I do, that one shall do also, and greater than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
This is a big idea: the works, the miracles, the healings, all the things that Jesus did, we who believe on Jesus as Lord, will do also. We will also do greater things, because he is going back to the Father. We will lead people into receiving the Holy Spirit. We will teach people to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We will lead people into salvation and eternal life. We will heal the sick. We will make disciples.
Joh 14:13 And whatever you may ask in My Name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.
Joh 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Joh 14:16 And I will petition the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may remain with you to the age,
Joh 14:17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He abides with you and shall be in you.
Jesus says “ask me”. He also says to keep his commandments. He then says that he will ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth. The Holy Spirit will abide in us and with us. As imperfect as we may be, the Holy Spirit will be in us and with us. This is inclusive as far as race, color, and gender, it is exclusive to those who reject Jesus. We are striving for perfect love.
Have you ever heard people complain that it’s not fair that everyone doesn’t go to heaven. Silly isn’t it? There is one way to heaven just as there is one way to be created human. We all are comprised of one sperm and one egg, and we all must travel down a path of salvation.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while and the world no longer sees Me, but you see Me. Because I live, you also shall live.
Joh 14:20 In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
Joh 14:21 He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is that one who loves Me; and the one that loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and will reveal Myself to him.
Joh 14:22 Judas said to Him, not the Iscariot, Lord, what has happened that You are about to reveal Yourself to us and not at all to the world?
Judas asks a good question. We hear the same thing, ‘why doesn’t Jesus show himself to us?’ Maybe because the one’s asking don’t love Jesus. They want to have the knowledge and benefits without the love. This is Critical Love Theory. Jesus will reveal himself to everyone who wants Him.
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word, and My Father shall love him. And We will come to him and will make a dwelling place with him.
Joh 14:24 The one who does not love Me does not keep My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father who sent Me.
The one who does not love Jesus does not keep the word that comes from the Father. The Father gave Jesus a message for us, but we can only unlock the message with love. Once we love Jesus and the words that he speaks, then he reveals himself to us by indwelling us. You can’t have Jesus on your own terms. He didn’t die on the cross for you to be in charge of His creation, he died for you to be free in His creation.
Joh 14:25 I have spoken these things to you, abiding with you;
Joh 14:26 but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and shall remind you of all things that I said to you.
Jesus spoke these things while on the earth with the disciples, however the Holy Spirit was going to be sent to teach us all. The good news for us is that there is no limit to what we can be taught by the Holy Spirit. This is an inclusive agenda. This is unlocked by loving Jesus. This is critical love theory.
What would happen if the church stopped fighting amongst themselves and instead went out on a mission to show the world love. What if people shared the Father’s love with those needing to be loved?
1Jn 3:1 See what manner of love the Father has given us, that we may be called children of God. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we shall be. But we know that if He is revealed, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
We shall see Him as He is. Let’s grab some perspective here. The Holy Spirit does not indwell angels, cherubim, seraphim, ophanim, or any other son of God. Christ does not indwell angels, cherubim, seraphim, ophanim, or any other son of God. The Holy Spirit and Christ Jesus indwell humans only. We are called the children of God because we have the Holy Spirit and Christ in us. We will be revealed as the sons of God on the Day of the Lord, when Jesus comes back with his saints just before His millennial reign. We will put all things right in the world and creation will stop groaning and travailing.
Rom 8:19 (LITV) For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God.
Just because Satanas is the god of this world does not mean that we cannot spread Critical Love Theory. We can turn what he meant for harm into good. If someone wants to push critical race theory, we should Push Critical love Theory. Satanas makes everyone slaves, but we have the keys to their shackles, it is freedom in Christ. Jesus laid down his life for us, and it was his plan from the beginning, before humankind was created. It was his plan to sever the subverters and the evil fallen ones by loving His creation so perfectly that he allowed evil to overcome his physical body. Then he took back the keys to death and hades, he showed himself in his resurrected body (the only one resurrected so far), he sent the Holy Spirit to teach and comfort us, and then ascended to the right hand of the Father. Critical Love Theory is all of this. We have the manual, it is laid out for us. Our goal for ourselves is to be made perfect in love, and our goal for the nations is to bring them into the sheepfold.
