When a person’s life is left in shambles, that’s a harsh place to be in and it can happen to anybody. But let me give you just a little bit of knowledge here. When these threatening situations, such as in the Luke 21 verses above, come into your life, you do realize that’s when Mercy is received? Any Mercy you sowed is received when a threat comes; not before, not days after, but at the time of engagement. Did you know that?
You do not reap Mercy during times of peace, you only reap Mercy during times of great threat. If you have sown Mercy and the threat comes, you will reap great Mercy. Remember, as mentioned prior, sowing mercy has to be real, for doing it as an “actor” or a hypocrite, will not work here, it has to be real. Ultimately, “actors” are separated from their souls as were Ananias & Sapphira.
But if you’re spiritually real, and if you’ve been sowing Mercy, you got nothing to worry about during these future threatening times. I’m specifically addressing the spiritual female readers right now, for you may have a historical worry of torture and pain, of being hurt, for you are well acquainted with what pain is! And that frightens you, for just thinking will I ever have to go through anything like that again gives you anxieties. Will I have to suffer that torment again? So, let me begin by telling you this; strive to sow Mercy in truth.
Let’s back up first; if there’s one thing Satan is good at, it is talking people out of sowing Mercy, so that when the threat comes, there is no mercy to reap. Don’t let him rob or devastate you like that! He’s likely robbing you right now if he can. Let nothing stop you from sowing Mercy. When you intersect with a wrecked life, you sow mercy. Lend a hand. Have pity and compassion for that person. Don’t point at the person saying “that’s what you get.” Eventually you will see the destruction that will come for those who do such things when they’ve exercised no mercy. Such people exercising no mercy are in direct denial of God’s mercy. Do you know that? Because if they point to a person in the world and say that’s what they get, how easy then will it be for the Living God to point at you and say that’s what you get. He didn’t do that because when you were an offense to all His Righteousness, he sent Jesus, his only Begotten Son. He didn’t point at you and condemn you. Rather, He reached out his hands in mercy to embrace you by way of his Son.
