LOVE By Tennessee Elijah |
Pure Truth can prepare souls in all nations for a revolutionary, radical desire to experience a spontaneous, restorative, Love transformation. Let all people receive this loquacious data, meant to bring a duteous understanding of God's omnipotent power. "God is Truth; Truth is Love; Love is Beauty" Together, let us respectfully contemplate the meaning of this philosophical concept. Surely if these simple words of a prophet correctly define God, every true Christian will immediately begin spreading good news in all nations. They will want to tell infidels why Love is the best way to exemplify God, Truth and Beauty! Is anyone eager to talk about Love? Is anyone eager to talk about God? Is anyone eager to talk about The Kingdom of God? Do you want to see perfection revealed in this world? Will you be listening attentively to everything Elijah is saying -- even though sneering skeptics will be trying to interrupt by interjecting sarcastic, demeaning or illogical opinions? Maybe this final generation is too cynical to care? Maybe innocence has already been fatally corrupted? Maybe Love cannot be conveniently imparted? "Since ‘Truth is Love' -- then ‘Love' best describes the essence of both God and Beauty," Elijah is telling you. "Obviously, we can't have ‘One' without the others if we correctly understand," wise listeners' surmise. "What does God have to do with Love?" sex perverts wonder while the man from Tennessee gives his point of view during pseudointellectual, coffee table debates. "Don't you get it? Love can't exist without God, Truth or Beauty," a child explained to illiterate, intoxicated parents. "Love is a spiritual entity!" we are all reminded. Love is that exotic, mysterious, invisible, spiritual force entering chosen souls -- bringing a form of heavenly awareness to a level much higher than any reality of earthly origin. "I don't get it," the perplexed heathen mumble. "Love is not something conceived by a biological brain or controlled by a human libido system, but it is supernaturally experienced," Elijah told his worldwide audience. Love brings radiant joy to chase away storms of torment, filling obstinate souls with alternative options. Hearts filled with confusion, conceit, contempt and evil thoughts -- contribute to the creation of miserable emotions. Sinful lifestyles diminish supernatural possibilities! Good emotions are like healing waters to the burning souls of those languishing in the flames of despair! Which side of the dividing line are you standing? Have you taken time to make a choice? Are you standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Jesus, or are you slithering like a snake on the side of Satan? Scoffers have their own unique explanations regarding emotions -- some good and some bad -- we learn. "We're floundering in a meaningless maze," they say. This world is filled with contradictory voices! Bill Clinton claimed he never had sex with that woman. Billy Graham confessed that we are all sinners. Ted Turner arrogantly described Christians as losers. Ted Kennedy has opinions best kept confidential. "Love is blind," an ugly poet told his pretty sweetheart. "Puppy Love is a frivolous infatuation that only kids experience," some fathers and mothers believe erroneously. "Romantic Love is only a fleeting thing that comes to a crashing halt after marriage," illicit lovers tell themselves. "Jealous love causes people to be insecure, possessive, physically abusive or psychologically controlling -- and it has nothing to do with God," the prophet warns. "Whatever you do, keep a lid on your emotions before sexual relationships get out of control," social workers tell young people who practice the art of procreation frivolously. Only the spirit mind of a human soul submitted to Lord Jesus Christ can sort out this mass confusion! The phrase -- "making love" -- is a misnomer! We can't make Love any more than we can make God! Unfortunately, we have seen how perverse sexual expression often happens without Love or God. Let lovers say, "making a baby" instead of "making love" and then when the baby comes, try making it happy! Sexual intercourse is not simply a physical experience, but it's a spiritual act that makes merging souls possible. Upon conception, a new soul enters a mother's womb! What seed of Life could evolve into a fetus without a soul? Upon giving birth to a baby, a new soul is ready for Life! What soul would not value the Life it has been given? After conception, birth and then upon death at some point during the Life of every human, the soul will return to the Father Creator for instant spiritual evaluation! Physical death is a transitional doorway releasing spirit Life. When God's laws of nature are broken by idiot's during acts of destroying human Life -- whether the weapon they use is chemical, a surgical procedure, a knife, gun or anything else -- a heavenly law has been broken. Only God has the power to impart Spiritual Life into flesh and only God has the power to take Spiritual Life away! People may kill the body, but they can't kill the soul. "Thou shalt not kill!" Do you think Jesus would say, "Love your enemies and kill your unborn babies?" "Thou shalt not commit adultery!" Do you think Jesus would say, "It's okay to cheat on your mate or fornicate if you use a condom?" What would Jesus say? "The urge-to-merge-soul's phenomenon is directly related to God's commandments against lust, adultery, fornication and abortion," Elijah is telling religious scholars! "Where do you find ‘merging souls' in the Bible," a voice was heard asking in response to this revelation? "Does God send a prophet only to quote what has already been written," Elijah responds to students of the Bible? Is there no room in your heart for instruction? Maybe Christian teachers have failed to properly explain the differences between evil carnal reasoning, normal fleshly gratification or godly spiritual manifestation? Having sex without Love is a satanic ritual! Interpreting "flirtation" as "sexual harassment" is unkind! Accusations of "sexual abuse" are often capricious! When the culture of a nation opposes the intention of Love, a travesty against God has been perpetrated. When the laws of a nation oppose those who perform the purpose of true Love, that nation will be harshly judged. In a society based on the laws of God Almighty, where freedom and the pursuit of happiness are encouraged, those kind souls who smile, wink, touch, caress, kiss, embrace, write or speak special words designed to express Love, deserve honor not insult, condemnation or arrest! "Love" is a sacred gift for all people of all ages! "Love shouldn't happen in public," police say. "We have laws to protect people," lawyers tell the jury. "Why should Love be turned off?" an offender argued. "Love is probably the result of some chemical, electrical, magnetic, psychological or ethereal biological anomaly affecting human emotions abnormally," they speculate. Which Master is in control, the flesh or the Spirit? Wondering how boys look or feel is normal for girls. Wondering how girls look or feel is normal for boys. What is wrong with being normal? Thinking about touching a special friend is exciting. Thinking about a special friend touching back is exciting. Is there anything wrong with touching? A girl touching a penis makes a boy feel good. A boy touching a vagina makes a girl feel good. Are good feelings normal for everyone? Is there anything wrong with feeling good? Is there anything wrong with being curious? Is there anything wrong with being naked? Is there anything wrong with hugging strangers? Is there anything wrong with kissing ugly people? Is there anything wrong with loving enemies? How many Christians can answer these questions? "Be careful, one thing leads to another," we are told by those who corrupt the innocence of virgin children. How do parents, sociologists, psychologists, religious leaders or friends answer honest questions about Life? "I believe God uses Love to stimulate human sexual emotions as a way to bring people together," a religiously inclined genius explained with a confident smile. "God doesn't just use Love to perform His purpose, He is Love!" Elijah retorted, emphatically. Love serves as a Light in the night to guide lost souls. Love does not provoke, envy or desire vain glory. Love fills hearts with tenderness, liberality and joy. "Sensual feelings created by Love prompt people to make choices as preordained by God for the purpose of fulfilling His Divine purpose," this prophet is saying. When Satan destroys relationships, Love comes along to bind hearts back together again! "It's better to talk about simple things," the husband of a depressed wife suggested in a soothing voice. "Quit trying to analyze everything," she screamed as her mind was overcome with uncertainty! "Maybe it would be better if we remembered only good times," a compassionate friend advised a sick companion. "It's more stimulating to agitate others by discussing bad memories," enemies suggest with evil grins. A harmonious, civilized community is made possible when neighbors learn how to Love neighbors! "Not in my neighborhood!" a politician, stated publicly. "Where does Love begin or hate end?" we wonder. At which point do we say, "Enough is enough?" Are we alive only to suffer continuously or is occasional pleasure to be expected during this transitory experience? "Maybe only those who come face-to-face with death are able to understand the true value of Love?" a voice cried out on Good Friday, April the 13th in 2001. "Watching others die on a cross is not quite the same as going through the experience yourself," Jesus might have said. Ignorant people laugh when neighbors are in pain. Good people cry when they see bad people suffer. Evil people are entertained by their neighbors sorrow -- yet the hearts of true Christians are filled with compassion. Charity mends broken lives and restores trust! "Poverty is not a good experience," said a father. "Feelings of hunger makes me hurt inside," a child cried. "Major surgery is not a minor event," a mother said in a whisper. Where are the tender, loving hands of my family? Where are the quiet prayers, fond recollections or soft words spoken in friendly conversations between those who gathered around my bedside while pretending to care? Where are the gentle embraces or polite expressions between those who came to share these difficult days? Are experiences in hospitals always this traumatic? Is loving civility between people possible without mutual respect? Does honesty always offend wicked people? Are families, communities and nations supposed to be bound together or torn asunder during traumatic events? Dysfunctional relationships are very destructive! Do people try to destroy each other because of pride, greed or some misguided sense of competition? Actually, Love is insulted by indifference to affection. Actually, Love is diminished by a lack of reciprocation. Actually, Love is destroyed because of sinful behavior. "Loyalty to God in human relationships is the essential factor required to sustain Love," the man from Tennessee declared to Presidents, Prime Ministers, Dictators, Kings, Queens and money-mongers over his magical web site -- www.TennesseeElijah.com Without God, there can be no Love! Giving compassion with Love can be a stabilizing factor during turmoil between those who engage dissenting ideas. Giving charity with Love can eliminate suspicion, fear, suffering, false pride, shame, anger and needless conflict. Love can do miraculous things for people who are willing to honor God by receiving His Spiritual gifts! Words and deeds motivated by Love can lead nations into many wonderful, exhilarating and happy experiences. Honest loving relationships can make Life enjoyable when the evil ways of Satan are finally overcome! Meanwhile, there's a horrible war going on in the flesh. Pain is Satan's way of saying, "Hello!" There is no dignity in the evil we bring upon ourselves! In this world, intelligence comes with great difficulty. God brings reassurance to Christians who are often ridiculed because of their faith in His Divine power. God brings self-esteem to Christians -- regardless of frivolous comments coming from those with condescending attitudes. While evil people take delight in mocking the personal appearance, intellect or lifestyle of God's children, we remain undisturbed by their insensitive presumptions. "Maybe it's okay to treat family members like worthless dirt?" a mentally deranged husband told his immature wife. "Maybe it's okay to be disobedient and disrespectful to parents?" an uncle advised his niece while letting her seduce him. "Maybe it's okay to be selfish, impatient, mean, aggressive, deceptive and opportunistic?" a greedy young man arrogantly demonstrated when sucking-up to wealthy relatives. While a hospital waiting room was transformed into a verbal war zone by incompatible relatives, a mother was laying under a surgeon's knife, fighting for her life. "These people are incorrigible," Jesus might have said. "On this day, the mother of your flesh will live, but you must die," Jesus told the prophet. Good Friday is your day to crucify carnality. Good Friday is your day to destroy pride of Life. Good Friday is your day to bury human nature. In the future, isolate yourself from temptation. In the future, remain silent when persecuted. In the future, let God shine through your soul. Like butterfly wings and flowers, Love is fragile! Why are prophets misunderstood or falsely accused? Why is Love so easily rejected by those who need it? Why are prophets not allowed to communicate without being shunned and mocked by those who need Truth? "Why should prophets socialize with Pharisees only to be insulted, rejected and despised?" Elijah is wondering. It's not easy to see lost souls self-destruct! Obviously, fools think "virgin birth" is impossible. Obviously, fools think Jesus had an earthly father. Obviously, fools think Satan is a cartoon parable. Obviously, fools think false religions are more valid than serving the true God. Obviously, fools think "Love" is a chemical imbalance. "Love can be experienced without sexual interaction, but the ecstasy of sex only happens because of Love," a contemporary poet told a pregnant teenager. We feel excitement when encountering special people. We feel pleasant tingles on our skin from a tender touch. We feel exhilarated by warm smiles and by gentle hugs. We feel cheerful when we feel the presence of Love! "Even though Love is a very good thing, please let the world understand, reality conceived in the realm of God becomes an inferior imitation in Satan's domain," Elijah warns. God is the Creator; Satan is the imitator! Lust is Satan's version of Love! "I love sex," said the seeker of pleasure. "I love food," said the insecure glutton. "I love power," say aggressive politicians. "I love money," said the greedy entrepreneur. Why are people taught to believe lust is Love? Let the seeker of pleasure say, "I lust after sex." Let the insecure glutton say, "I lust after food." Let the aggressive politician say, "I lust after power." Let the greedy entrepreneur say, "I lust after money." When will the media use Truth to destroy deception? Where there is Love, there is happiness. Where there is Love, there is satisfaction. Where there is Love, there is God, Truth and Beauty! Let the Kingdom of God come alive in everyone! Love does not rebuke, falsely judge or scorn. Love does not ridicule, hinder, harm or despise. Love is not selfish, opportunistic or arrogant. Love is not deceptive, aggressive, hateful or cruel. Love is forgiving, trusting, kind and charitable! "Sing us a song, my angelic friends," the prophet prays. Fill each heart with sweet, harmonious melodies. Touch flesh with a tender caress as you embrace lonely people who lay sleeping in the darkness of sorrow. Lead nations out of morose into the splendor of happy lives -- where lovers dance like children, frolicking freely with Jesus under a transparent canopy of sparkling visions. Let enchanted Beauty magnify fleshly senses, filling merging souls with the glorious light of self-awareness. Let the doorway between possible and impossible stand open as people walk hand-in-hand within God's domain. Let Jesus come to make the Kingdom of God like sparkling jewels on Earth as it is in Heaven! What can Christians do to convince unbelievers? What can Christians do to bring sanity to this world? What can Christians do to convince people that Love is good? Do followers of Satan, think evil ideas are superior? Is there anything that desperate, deceived souls can do to solve problems now facing this troubled generation? Will moaning or groaning make a difference? Will watching Oprah on television make things better? Will reading a book, going on a diet, having sex, going to a party, buying a new car, getting a better job, winning the lottery or moving to a new house make life tolerable? Does anyone really care, cynical people wonder? "Let us give you our point of view," Christians respond. God has a wonderful plan if you give Him a chance to explain how His Kingdom can work here on Planet Earth! Love is the reason we were created. Love is the reason Life has been sustained! In John, chapter 3, verse 16, we read: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Love is God's way of sending special messages! Love is God's way of bringing chosen people together! Love is God's way of helping us to make wise choices! Why then do so many unhappy people foolishly turn away from God when they need Him most? Why are so many living contrary to His desires? Why does the daily lifestyle of busy people leave no room for spiritual nourishment and inspirational guidance? Why are educated fools annoyed by Truth? Obviously, money can't be used to buy Love. Obviously, science has no formula for creating Love. Love can't be legislated into existence by politicians. Love can't be easily manufactured, packaged and shipped to religious sanctuaries or neighborhood superstores. Maybe self-sufficient people who are arrogant, stupid, atheistic or plain evil -- think Love is unnecessary? Maybe they're satisfied with satanic substitutes? Maybe they think adultery, fornication, alcohol, drugs, exotic manmade religions or Viagra, can, somehow, fill the empty void that plagues lonely tormented lives? Satan's subtle ways are not easily discernible! Even though evil people care more for themselves than for others, they deceptively claim that Love is their motivation while using anything or anyone to satisfy carnal appetites. When we honestly care about others, we make unselfish choices, wanting only what is best for the people we truly Love. Many bad things are done in the good name of Love! Who is wise enough to know the difference? Your version of God may not be the same as Elijah. Your version of Truth might contradict the Bible. Your version of Love might be romantic, but not honest. Your version of Beauty might be superficial. Remember, we can't have One without the others! If our version of Love leaves God, Truth or Beauty out of the equation, we need a new definition. In 1st John, chapter 4, verse 8, we read: "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." In Matthew, chapter 22, verse 37, we read: "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." In 1st John, chapter 4, verse 20, we read: "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" In Galatians, chapter 5, verse 14, we read: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." In Proverbs, chapter 8, verse 17, we read: "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me." In Galatians, chapter 6, verses 7 and 8, we read: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." To be born of water is to be born of flesh. To be born of Spirit is to experience fleshly death. To be absent from the flesh is to abide in Christ. "The Spirit shall reap life everlasting," we are told. A living soul is a composite of Spiritual forces. God is a Spirit that makes Life possible! A soul without Truth, Love and Beauty is dead. A dead soul is separated from God. Satan uses enticements emanating from out of the human experience to gain control over wayward souls. When people make selfish choices during their lifetime, they are severing Life-sustaining connections with God. It really is better to give than to receive! It really is better to obey the Spirit rather than the flesh! "To exalt the flesh is to deny the Spirit," Elijah is warning those who think fame and fortune is worthy of praise. Seeking to assure immortality by forming artificial reproductions of our humanity only extirpates the virtue of humility. The tradition of preserving the flesh by placing those who have died in shrines should be regarded by those who survive as obscene, idolatrous, monuments to death. Why should dust of the flesh be thought of as sentimental, sacred remnants of Life? But it's hard to say "Goodbye" to loved ones, we learn. "But it's the traditional thing to do," morticians advise. "We like to see their names engraved on tombstones -- and we like to visit the grave sides," say sad relatives of the departed. "Let their bodies be consumed by fire as mine will be," Elijah recommends. "Jesus has no plans for bones covered by dead flesh! When my Spirit is gone, let my ashes be tossed freely into the flowing waters of the Tennessee River. There is no Love to be found in funeral traditions!" Use the soil of Planet Earth to grow flowers. Use the soil of Planet Earth to grow food. Let all good souls go to abide in Christ. Let the "Spirit" of the righteous flow with God. Only a purified soul is worthy of eternal Life! Throughout history, transgressors of God's law have devised satanic systems meant to perpetuate deceptions. There is no Love to be found in the fear of death! E-mail this message from Tennessee Elijah to family members and friends: There is no Love to be found in worldly superstition! Turn away from systems designed to bind the soul! Fleshly identities are of no consequence in Heaven. Human appearance and Life history is of little value. Only a soul purified by God has intrinsic value! Only a soul purified by Truth is worthy of esteem! Only a soul can retain the essence of human Life! Only a soul can survive after death of the flesh! Only a soul filled with Beauty has heavenly value! Only a soul filled with Love is worth preserving! Let Love be our freedom to follow where God leads. Let Love be our open mind to receive happy dreams. Let Love be our companion in everything we do. Let Love be our guide when searching for Truth. Let Love be our Inspiration within words we speak. Let Love be our treasure to provide our daily needs. Let Love be our patience when running short of time. Let Love be our light so in darkness we will shine. Let Love be our forgiveness for those who offend. Let Love be our strength so in storms we won't bend. Let Love be our charity for poor neighbors in need. Let Love be our compassion for those who weep. Let Love be our wisdom to know right from wrong. Let Love be our daily prayer like a beautiful song. Let Love be our persistence when obstacles prevail. Let Love be our hope when it seems easier to fail. Let Love be our faith in the promise of eternal life. Let Love be our peace when surrounded by strife. Let Love be our humility when tempted by pride. Let Love be our serenity every moment we're alive. Let Love be our joy on this earthly path we trod. Let Love be our contentment in the Kingdom of God! |
