Blue v47 Ch 7 LukeHe who has sinned much, loves much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. v47
If you love Me, obey Me (Jn 14:15). Sometimes we misjudge people who are obeying many scriptures because we haven't sinned as much as they have so we don't obey as much scripture as them because of not being as needy; the bible becomes more of a good guideline book instead of something to really seek out and obey. The LORD told me the other day in prayer that i'm very disciplined, and we (He and i) just happened to be praying prayers in between the prayer journal that He and i put together years ago but that we have prayed six days a week. Many different scripture prayers are in my journal but the one i love is about 10 pages of scripture and includes lifting up 78 countries, various churches and ministries, several businesses, as well as a long list of people, family, and leaders.
You see, i'm one of those people who obey much because of having sinned much, and after having known what the devil's kingdom has to offer, maybe not to the degree as some have, but it's enough to realize the two kingdoms and the one you don't want. A youth pastor once confessed during revival that "this is the first time I need You," speaking about God of course, because he grew up as a PK (preacher's kid) and his grandfather was also a preacher so he knew the abundance of family love, morals, safety, provision, identity, favor, success... and God was just another Good Loving idea in his life until the time came when finally he needed God for something. I've noticed that it isn't always the preachers that are doing all the praying and bible studying
because already present is an ability to function well due to the healthy upbringing in the wholesome environment, yet on various occasions it was thought to be fanatical, even excessive or legalistic when viewing those who prayed or studied a lot because of not being able to relate to inquity rocking your life like a hurricane so inevitably needing Christ to fill up the deep empty spirit until it overflowed~
