9 The Lord does not delay (see 1 Tim. 3:15) concerning His promise, as some men reckon slackness; (He is not forgetful.) but is long-suffering (patient) toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (This day that we were speaking of regarding perishing and perdition; it isnt Gods will that anybody perish. It wasnt Gods will that even satan would perish, but satan chose it because of his actions, and I’m sure much to His grief, our Father had to sentence that one to death. Some might say, “Well, does that mean if it is Gods will all will be saved, he should have saved him?” No, it is written also that many will fail. But God would like for them to be saved. After all, they are His children, but they will not all make it. It is another way of saying that He wishes that they would turn to Him and be saved all on their own. Now many will say right here that Gods all powerful so why cant He do that? And youve heard me explain it many times before, but I feel that this is the time to do it again. There is one thing that God will not do and I might even add further, cannot do. He cannot create souls for His pleasure and His company and then force them to love Him and have it be true love. You cannot force true love, even love from your own mate. Love generates from within each entity and only the entity. Only she or he has the ability to create that love. Its a very natural thing. So, if God were to force someone to love Him it would be fake love. And friend, He doesnt want your fake love for that is no love at all. You dont con Him for a minute. Therefore it is His wish that all love Him. If you love Satan and his ways and the ways of man then you’ll go to hell. Those that choose this path go to the pit and they will perish. But its not His choice it is yours.)
