Re: Yes...

Hatred for anyone chosen of God is normal for those that are in the world. And that is because we cannot truly love other without HIM fully in the first place I really do not believe anymore. So without HIM there is within our hearts both love and hate at the same time going on. Just as there is the desire for unrighteousness just as their at times is also the desire to do righteousness both too. Even the most vicious sinner loves someone, but also hates someone too. Only God is capable of truly loving the unlovely. We are not. We can only do so truly if He fills us up with HIS precious love. Man just does not have this capability within them without HIM bringing it forth in our lives. Took me almost my entire lifetime to realize this fully. I did begin to see it in the Word of God about 15 years ago. But to really know this be true, my beginning to ask God for this, came after seeing it was in there. We can, but only thru Him, He getting all the glory for even this love. In other words, you cannot love God or your neighbor first without HIS giving you that love to do so at all.

That is why the fruits of love, and the fruits of the Spirit are identical in meaning to one another. Takes HIS Spirit within your heart to walk in that kind of love, that is why.

That is why He (Christ within you) promises to change both our spirits and our hearts. Telling us about this promise that will take place in EZ. 36:25-30.



Love ya much,
