ALL NATIONS OF ONE BLOOD IN CHRIST

August 24

hildren of your Father, do you know that you must learn how to love all peoples on the face of the earth! Out of every tribe and nation there are truly "born again" individuals who have the same blood in their spiritual bodies as you. Do you believe this? There are also many enemies of the Cross of Jesus from all sectors of the earth. However, the judgment and divine dealing for your enemies is not your responsibility, but it is totally in the realm of your Father in Heaven's personal work. As you agree to love all peoples of the earth, you will progress in having the mind of Christ. You will have compassion and merciful love which will press you beyond cultural and ethnic prejudices into a realm of seeing and understanding that your Father in Heaven created these people as well as you. They may not speak the same language on the earth as you speak, but their "heavenly” language is the same. You in your earthly language, and they in their own earthly language will say such things as, "Father in Heaven, I worship and bless you for your goodness to me and to my family; I thank you for my salvation, and for the sincere forgiveness of my sins through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior; I bless you O God of Heaven for sending the rain to grow my crops; I thank you for sending the holy angels from heaven to watch over me!" Beloved, do you know that all peoples of the earth who name the name of Jesus will speak a language such as this because they worship the same God whose Son Jesus died for their sins and is alive again to lead them by His Holy Spirit? Now, what reason or excuse do you give yourself for denying or rejecting any culture or nation of people on the face of God's earth? There is no reason. Beloved, lay down your weapons of war, and take up the banner of God's peace. "Love one another, as Christ has loved you!" (John 13:34) And, set yourself to pray for the nations of the earth, that they may reject Satan and his evil works, receiving the Lord Jesus as King and Lord of their lives!

Prayer

---

Father, my eyes have been blinded at times. I have feared others, and criticized them in such a way as to separate myself from other members of the family of God. For this I repent in Jesus' name. Help me to reach out in love and kindness to all the other members of humans, giving out your kindness and mercy in Jesus' name, amen!
