Break up your unplowed ground

"Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you" (Hosea10:12 NIV) Plant righteousness and reap unfailing love, that is the way of the cross of Christ. It is the wonderful advent of God who died for sin by God's justice and raised us back with that love. It's a curious way for the Satan's mouth to be clogged and angels to shout and praise. The way of the cross is always valid while we live on this earth. We have a soul shepherd, planted in God's righteousness and reaping God's unfailing love (1 Peter 2:25).     Most people have the knowledge of the Word, but they are heavy and struggling. Because it is the land of their hearts that the Word has no effect. Because the thorns and thistles that God cursed when Adam sinned remain in the hearts of people. The reason why Christians have the old nature in words or gestures is because the thorns and thistles prevent growing the Word in their hearts. It is a character that is biased toward stereotypes and greedy ego. The mouth is smart, but it doesn't taste good. It is because he has not been healed by the Lord since he was saved.     “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness by his wounds you have been healed”(1peter 2:24 NIV) It is the cross of the Lord who perfectly gives God's justice and love. It is the farming of the mind to plant justice in the land of our souls and reap the unfailing love. Nevertheless, if there is nothing to harvest, you have to check the seeds and check the ground. In order to heal the land of my heart, I have to intervene the Lord of healing. We get healed by his lashing. We need to hurry up this healing quickly.  Many people are asking God to bless them without healing the wicked and evil heartland because of their bitter roots. Resentment, complaints, cores and sediments in mind, etc... are all thorns and thistles. Because of this, the reporter of Hebrews points out that he cannot be perfect and is forsaken and burned (Hebrews 6:8). Three days after Israel crossed the Red Sea, they met Mara's bitter water and shook. However, through Moses' prayer, he gained a tree and experienced the Lord of healing (Exodus 15:22-26) It is the land of our heart that is not sweet yet. Therefore, we must meditate on the Lord's cross and the Lord's presence and repeat our prayers. Until the rain of righteousness is soaked in the presence of the Holy Spirit...
