To all my "Alabaster Box" Women AND Men....

Some may not know the cost of the oil you pour out on Life. But regardless of knowledge, and we should all have compassionate concerning all you have gone through, know that it is truth that sets free and stops all others from having to go through what you have suffered and has caused you to do or be unpleasant. Truth attacks the false reasoning and brings good hope. So we can not yield because of emotions, not even for you, though this is for you.

Regardless of the price you paid and how you may have gained, you do well now in using it for a good cause and ceasing the wrong way. The good cause and good use now frees you from having to increase all other ways and you will have much more increase doing it the right way. An exchange has been made.

This is not to excuse any or promote any unrighteousness. It is matters of the heart and purity. Two people could do the exact same thing and one will be justified and the other not. The word is quick and powerful.

In the story of Mary Magdeline, her heart is shown when she poors the costly oil out on Jesus whom loved her. If the heart wasn't right, she would rather keep accummulating the way she accumulated and reject Jesus or any turn around and possibility of another way. Such a person can not claim to be deceived or a victim backed in a corner. And consider this of her heart. She poured such costly oil on a man, without proof and knowledge there was a better way. This means, her thinking was at that point that the only way to possibly gain again and survive, would be to continue and go back to the horrible existence and life and profession once lived. Selah. That is sacrifice.

Church. Oil has been poured on you. Take it seriously. Let us respond like Jesus did, for we are His Body. That oil was poured on us.

I must make mention also of "Alabastor Box" men as well. For there are many men of all nationalities and races and classes that believe that the only way to get ahead and provide is to gamble, pimp, prostitute themselves, and deal drugs, etc. And let's not leave out the white collar and upscale deceived ones. There are some in business, born with "silver spoons", and have great names who believe the only way they can live up to the expectation placed upon them is to cheat, do insider trading, ponzi schemes, have unfair business practices toward the public and employees, and etc. It is all they know. Consider gang children. Consider Mafia kids. There are some who are sincere and just want to be better but know of no other way than to hustle, decieve and cheat. These are they that are as much deceived and have their own Albaster Box issues. And some have poured what they gained. Let them be free. They are seen as sincere when they begin to use their possibly undue influence, power and wealth for right and not wrong, hoping to lay down the wrong. Again it is different from willful, "I don't care about no one but me" sin. Let us love and share truth.

See the difference in how Jesus responds and tenderly cares for the "Woman at the Well", the San Phonecian woman, and the "Woman with the Issue of Blood", from how he deals with the Pharisees, the Saduccess, the Lawyers and scribes. All of them knew better and rejected Him inorder to continue in darkness. Rebellious! I dare say they knew He was the Christ!

With all the women above, whether verbalized or not each time, Jesus would have all to "Go and sin no more".
He came that we may BE righteous. And so each time, though He is tender, He still speaks truth. He tells that woman at the well about her 5 husbands and that the one she is with now isn't hers; chambering. He calls the San Phonecian woman a dog. He doesn't chastise personally the woman with the issue of blood, but we through the scriptures learn she blows all her money on doctors trying to get healed some other way. And even to His own mother, Mary, Jesus says "Don't you know I must be about my Fathers business", and "Woman, what do I have to do with you", and also "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers, but those that do the will of God?"  Jesus did not trade truth for phoney compassion, but truth was His compassion and is still most compassionate.

Yes. Go and sin no more, for the wages of sin still is death, whether you are sincere or not. Eve, being deceived and not rebellious, still suffered the same plight as the beguiling snake and rebellious Adam. She too was expelled from the garden of Eden; the place of rest, all godly pleasure and joy, and was separated from God Himself internally, though He is always Omnipresent externally.

How can I tell you to sin no more and not bless you with the power to do so? The blessing of truth, even if it hurts, will is the power and will empower and enable you to sin no more, even the same way the deceptions and lies contrarilly moved you to sin.Truth is utmost compassion in action. And truth sets free.

Repentance is good news! We speak truth in Love that never fails!
