The order is here, the last will come automatically!

Mark 12:30 KJV
…"Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heartand with all your soul and with all your mind andwith all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.

(John 14) NKJV
15“If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;"
John 14:21
Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."

John 14:23
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.


We Welcome You. now saddle up "Kemosabe" [meaning faithful friend] and put The Spurs to the heels! and join the club, we all are here,

There are no short cuts. 1st, you must love "JESUS". And not by saying it that you love him. but it is Only One Way, and that way is not the church!

Do not let this world and churches continually deceive you and understand what your Bible is telling you. and believe it.

2 TIMOTHY 3
…"my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. Indeed, all whodesire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.…"

IF YOU DO NOT READ your bible like you should and stop read bits over here and over here. instead of reading it as one whole book.

You will get the point. or like ti is "Hit the Mark" and you always seek the things of this world. you will not know who your neighbors really art. You will not know how to love your enemies, you will not how to love every day, you will know how to love your true brothers and sisters who are in "Christ JESUS" the loves are not the same and cannot be. You do not give that which is holy to dogs, you do not cast your pearls to swine. You do not associate with fornicators or ADULTERIES, YOU DO NOT EVEN SIT DOWN TO EAT WITH THEM. By disobeying GOD's word you make yourself a enemy of GOD.

King James Bible
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

it is a lot you must know, it is not that simple. you must learn how to walk with GOD. And hold his hand.

1 John 2:15
New King James Version
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
American Standard Version
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him

Walking with g GOD is not a figure of Our imagination and what you have heard a church say. if you can read there is no excused. you cannot drum up what you think what GOD wants. and their way is different. Love is not a feeling, Love is doing what GOD says is right. and not A feeling, People will hate you if love them like Jesus did. They will kill you too, just like they killed Jesus. If you are talking about the way the world views love, GOD love is not the same. That what he wants you to EXPRESS is like "day and NIGHT".


And no way you can do this unless, GOD gives you a gift to empower you to do this. "The PARAKLETOS" that will Live in You Forever and ever, through out all ETERNITY where there is no END. GOD EMPOWERS you! A JOY in your SOUL that the WORLD knows nothing of!

New American Standard Bible
And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

New King James Version
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

John 15:26
When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father--He will testify about Me.

John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

You cannot do it unless you are empowered from on high. words will not do. you Need POWER given from Heaven. TO love like he wants you too.
