Are We Divided In Our Hearts?

[FAITH]

James 4:6 - God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

IF WE ARE DIVIDED IN OUR HEARTS FROM OTHER CHURCHES, IF WE INSTINCTIVELY LOOK DOWN ON OTHER CHRISTIANS OR IF WE ARE AT ALL SELF-PROMOTING IN ATTITUDE, WE ARE WALKING IN PRIDE. AS SUCH, THE SPIRIT THAT STANDS TO RESIST OUR ENDEAVORS IS NOT DEMONIC; IT'S GOD.

John 14:2 - In My Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

LOVE IS THE INCLINATION, STRENGTH, AND POWER FOR THE SOUL IN MAKING ITS WAY TO GOD, FOR LOVE UNITES IT WITH GOD. THE MORE DEGREES OF LOVE IT HAS, THE MORE DEEPLY IT ENTERS INTO GOD AND CENTERS ITSELF IN HIM. A STRONGER LOVE IS A MORE UNITIVE LOVE, AND WE CAN UNDERSTAND IN THIS MANNER THE MANY DWELLING PLACES JESUS DECLARED WERE IN HIS FATHER'S HOUSE.

Song of Solomon 1:5 - I am black, but lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

THE CURTAINS OF SOLOMON REPRESENT YOUR HUMANITY WHICH CONCEALS THE WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH WITHIN YOU. HE HAS CAUSED YOU TO PARTAKE OF HIS BEAUTY; HE HAS CONCEALED HIS DIVINITY IN YOUR HUMANITY - YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE CURTAINS OF SOLOMON BECAUSE THE CROSS MAKES YOU LIKE YOUR BELOVED (JESUS).

Faith, your post was really good. Is it me, or can we in thinking  we are better than another person, have disdain for that person? Just because we have a high paying job today, doesn't guarantee we will have the job two month or even two months from now. God does nor guarantee tomorrow. We must love our fellow man, pray for him too. The Bible says love suffers long and is kind, love does not envy,  love does not parade it's self, it is not puffed up. Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own is not provoked thinks no evil. does not  re

joice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. bears all thing, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
