...The spirit of anger that comes from many who receive a post of a witness and explanation is proof of their lack of the experience of the love of Christ. (Gal. 5:19-21)....
Don't worry brother in Christ, and all other brothers and sisters in Christ, for Christ's Spirit in us knows the Truth in all situations. Have faith and be content in all things. Remember, while we are in Christ, all becomes clear as to where we, in Christ, stand; i.e., doubtless, fearless and loving.
Anger and all other forms of tension in a person comes from fear. Fear of the Truth. There is nothing else to fear but what is true. It takes faith and discernment, in Christ, to discover where that fear comes from within ourselves and within others. Our primary concern here is about our own fear, if we feel it. Meaning, we are basing things by self-will (denial of Truth) and not God's-will (Truth). Once we return to God's-will, all our fears disappear and we start seeing clearly again.
Those who are angry are then seen as being fearfully running on self-will. We no longer become hindered in fellowship, but become servants of Christ's wisdom and instruction. We respond lovingly to those who are scared, just as we would when somebody is scared. We remain calm and listen (discern) to what they are afraid of, then reassure them that they will be okay regardless if things don't go their way. After all, anger is about the fear of not coping with change, with things not going their way. We help them to accept what they cannot accept. Sometimes they are not ready for change; we simply let them be, thinking they have regained their ways, but we know differently. We have turned the other cheek, sometimes that is all we can do.
God has His reasons in all things, including ourselves to be in the firing line so as to strengthen our faith for future confrontations. God needs those strong in faith too. Be content in all things, and Truth will cloak you in protection, love, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, instruction, wisdom, discernment, and truth in all things.
The cloak of fear and tension belongs to satan; replace it with the cloak of Christ, the Son of God.
...It grieves the Spirit that it is scolded by self willed religious people who know not Christ, praying only that they might know the gift of God in Jesus Christ....
The Spirit cannot be scolded for it is the Spirit of Truth. It sees the truth in all things, and as a result, cannot be harmed by anything untrue and unreal. It is us who feels scolded. It is the self who has claimed parts of Truth for itself and fears the threat of losing it to even deeper Truths; especially if we use Truth for self-righteousness. Our self-will has no right to be righteous. It is the old-nature in us who feels scolded. Only Truth scolds what is not true in us. So it serves to reveal what we fear, and still have claimed for our self-will.
Wherever there is humiliation, humility, humbleness... there is truth. Find this truth, and the fear will lose its grip on us.
...I fear for the stark reality of the Judgment upon those who have come to sit in the best seats.(Luke 14:7-12)
Yes it is sad.
The fear we sense, for the stark reality of the Judgement, is a reflection for our own benefit. As long as we are alive on earth, we still have fears of our own stark reality of the Judgement. These feelings are indicators of our own defects of character and shortcomings that need the light of Truth shone onto to. They need to be handed over, for God to remove from us.
......those who have come to sit in the best seats.(Luke 14:7-12)
For ourselves, we cannot say we have access to the best seats, let alone going to heaven, for the way is very narrow indeed.
The best we can say is that "while I am
in Christ I am not in hell".
