Y
KNOW THE ENEMY THAT THE LORD JESUS ASKS
US TO LOVE AND TO BLESS IN ORDER NOT TO
CONFUSE HIM WITH THE FALSE GOSPEL
It is the 365th message.
In truth, the knowledge of the truth of the Lord Jesus is a big richness and a big treasure without comparison. To whom shall we go to seek this big richness and big treasure of endless value? Lord, you speak to us and teach us. Lord, if you do not speak to us, confusion will kill us; and if we do not also understand you, this confusion will not allow us to arrive.
The enemy that the Lord asks us to love and to bless is man; and to love our enemy and to bless him is the key of deliverance, of blessing, of greatness and power. But how should we love and bless him? Let us take the example of a man who throws you a bad curse, either to paralyse you, to destroy your body, to deprive you of good health or to kill you. This last is not your friend, but rather your enemy. To love this person who is your enemy is to forgive him for the act that he has committed against you. To bless him, is to pray God so that he touches his heart in order that this last should come out of the malediction to the blessing (to pass from wickedness to goodness).
Therefore, he who wants your misfortune does not love you, but rather hates you; and if you do not forgive him, it means that you do not love him, but you rather hate him as he hates you. Meanwhile the Lord Jesus says: “…Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you” (Luke 6/27). Somebody who confesses evil words against you is cursing you, but you must bless him by asking the Lord to forgive him of what he ignores. That is why the Lord Jesus says: “bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you” (Luke 6/28). Therefore, the enemy is that one who wants your misfortune; and loving this enemy is to forgive him. The men who crucified the Lord Jesus were not his friends, but rather his enemies; and since you must love and bless your enemies, that is why he asked his Father to forgive this mistake that his enemies have committed against him when he says:“…Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do…” (Luke 23/34). The same, those who were stoning Stephen were not his friends, but rather his enemies; but since you must forgive your enemies, Stephen asked the Lord not to hold this sin against them. That is why Acts 7/59-60 says: “And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”. And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them”. And when he had said this, he fell asleep”.
If there is somebody who does not want that you should have what to eat, willing to see you dyeing of hunger in order to mock at you or to rejoice of your misery, this last is not your friend, but rather your enemy. If what he wants against you returns against him up to the point where he is the one who lacks what to eat, you must first love him: you should not mock at him or to rejoice of his state; but you must give him what to eat. That is even why it is said: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head” (Romans 12/20).
If you seek a job in town and that somebody takes the responsibility to prevent you from getting it by going in front of you to make that the employees should not accept your application for a job up to the point where you are obliged to return in the village, and that even there, when you ask for a plot in order to cultivate, this last still follow you to tell people not to give it to you, this last is not your friend, but rather your enemy who persecutes you; but you, you should not curse him by confessing an evil word because of the persecutions that he makes you to suffer. You should rather love him and bless him by forgiving him and by asking the Lord to forgive him for the acts that he has committed against you. That is even why it is said: “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them” (Romans 12/14).
For us to become free from the malediction and the condemnation, we must be the friend of the Lord Jesus; and to be his friend is to do what he commands us to do; and what he commands us to do is our deliverance and liberty; and our deliverance and liberty makes us his friends. That is even why he says: “You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 15/14).
It is advised to us that we should have the same feelings that were and that are in Jesus Christ as it is said: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2/5); because from these feelings, we have his mercy, and from his mercy, we triumph over the condemnation or judgement; and if we do not manifest this mercy towards our enemies, we will also be condemned without mercy. That is even why it is said: “For judgement is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgement” (James 2/13). In order to love those who hate us or to bless those who curseus, it will be necessary that we have the heart and feeling of the Lord Jesus; because no matter what man will do to us, we would want to have pity on him and not on us because we are seeing his suffering in the lake of fire and not the pity of the moment because of what he does. If we only look at the present suffering, we will only have pity on us because of what he has done to us, and we are going to curse him and to hate him. We should not look at the little suffering that he has inflicted us for a short while by the persecutions and others, but we should look at the eternal suffering that he will have in the lake of fire through what he commits against us like persecutions, hatred and confessions of evil word…
If we give 15.000frs, 20.000frs… to a priest or pastor because he has asked for it in order to baptise our baby or child just because we are ignorant of the truth of Christ like this uncircumcised of the gospel of Christ who asks for money in order to baptise our baby or child, by the time we come to the knowledge of the truth by the grace of God, the truth that set us free from the lie and seduction, and when we recognise that this priest or pastor did not only deceive us that our baby or child has received the baptism of God, but that in addition to this, he has swindled our money by selling us this baptism, we should neither hate him nor curse him, but we should love him and bless him by asking the Lord Jesus to open his eyes so that he should see and know his justice as he did for us. We should not seek that this priest or pastor should pay back our money that we gave him for the baptism of our baby or child when we were blind; but we should consider this money for a shameful gain; and we should pray for this ignorant of the justice of God; his title and material should not frighten us nor intimidate us, but willing to see him coming to the knowledge and to live the truth of the Lord Jesus must be all for us.
Therefore, the people should not confuse the enemy that we must forgive and the false gospel which is the enemy that the Lord reveals to us now, which work for the fall of the gospel of Christ, willing to make his suffering and his blood that has shed on the cross for this generation to become vain. The veritable enemy of the Lord Jesus is too lifted in these end times: it is the false gospel; in front of which we are making our presence in order to bring its fall so that the veritable gospel, that of the Lord Jesus Christ should be raised (Luke2/34).
CHAMPI Apostle not behalf of man, nor by a man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. God’s power is the knowledge. To know, avoid sin and to be free from the eternal death. (John 8/32)
