Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you. (Luke 6:27 NKJV)
My beloved child, I have called you and chosen you for such a time as this. Don’t be discouraged if your family and those you love don’t support you. Keep your eyes on Me and allow Me to use you to impact generations and whatever you do walk in love. Remember that love covers a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8) Your love is enough to cover your loved ones until they’re ready to yield to the Holy Spirit. LOVE will melt a hard heart! Don’t think twice about the way people treat you, follow Me and I will do many exploits through you. You have been given the same resurrection power that raised Me from the dead to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils. One day soon after I, (Jesus) went up to a mountain to pray to God the Father all night, at daybreak, I called together all of My followers and chose twelve of them to be apostles. Here are their names: Simon (whom he named Peter), Andrew (Peter’s brother), James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James (son of Alphaeus), Simon (who was called the zealot), Judas (son of James), Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him). (Luke 6:12-16)
Then My Apostles and I came down from the hillside to a level field, surrounded by many of My followers and a massive crowd of people who had come from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoasts of Tyre and Sidon. (Luke 6:17) They had all come to hear Me, Jesus the Son of God, and be healed of their diseases and be set free from the demonic powers that tormented them. Everyone tried to touch Me because so much healing power – synergy went out from Me and I healed everyone. (Luke 6:18-19)
Then I said to the crowd, ‘You’re blessed when you are poor and you’ve lost it all, for yours is the Kingdom of God. You are blessed when you’re very hungry then you’re ready for the Messianic Meal, and you will be filled. You are so blessed when tears flow freely down your cheeks, don’t forget Joy comes in the morning! (Luke 6:20-21) Count yourself blessed every time someone cuts you down or throws you out, every time someone smears or blackens your name to discredit Me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and that person is uncomfortable. Be glad when that happens! Skip like a lamb! Even if they don’t like it, I do! Heaven is applauding you! Know this, ‘you are in good company!’ Ministers of the Gospel, those whom I have called and chosen, have always been treated like this. (Luke 6:22-23) Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you. (Luke 6:27) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you! (Luke 6:31)
