The Lord is saying. Do not be afraid of men who can only harm the body, but be afraid of the one who has power over the soul. My Father loves beyond measure mankind and is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to the knowledge of the truth. Anyone who puts their trust in me will be saved, and my Father keeps them in the palm of His hand. Yet there are those who have no fear of God and blatantly despise him. These are they which are high minded and arrogant and believe that they can spit in the face of God and get away with it. And my Father gives them time. Do not be afraid to speak the truth to such, for the word can penetrate when all else fails.

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Gal 6:8 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.

1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Its only the one who loves who can see clearly. Only when we see as God sees can we make righteous judgements and use the word of God as a skilled swordsman. God is love. He cannot be separated from Love. They are one and the same. The word of God cuts between bone and marrow. Only when we are working in love are we working from our spirit, and from God's heart; then we can we use His word effectively.. When we speak the truth in love we can be sure that the word will penetrate and succeed in that which it was sent to do. Ask God today for that sort of love that has no self in it but is looking only for the good of others. True love always succeeds even when its tough love.

Isaiah 55:11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
