Amos | Chapter 2:1-3 Pt. IV ~ Episode 1018:
The Lord desires mercy; but, the package that it comes in it with is justice. The Lord desires His justice; and, He does not want it [His justice] to be perverted or tainted. He hopes that we will come to the place where we say, "Sin is not for me. I need to cling to Jesus. Lord, I lay down my life before you. Here I am Lord. Help me, change me, mold me, shape me. Here I am. I'm yours, God." So that we enter into Covenant relationship with Him; getting to the place of seekign Him first and then we are just accessing blessing after blessing, after blessing, after blessing. And, the adversary cannot steal, kill, and destroy in any area of your life. That's what the Lord wants for us.
