The only invincible weapon we have as believers is love.

 Love has the power to disarm even the devil.

1John 4:8

He who does not love, does not know God, For God is love. 

Yes, we have other weapons to use in battle, but when you get right down to it, love covers a multitude of sin and the mistreatment of us by someone else.  (Proverbs 10:12)

Love does not know when it has been done wrong.

Romans 12:10

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.

You can have all the gifts flowing through you, but if you do not have love, those gifts mean nothing.

1Corinthians 13:8

Love never fails, 

But where there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Here are some characteristics of those who have God's love in them.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love suffers long and is kind;  love does not envy; love does not parade itself, , is not puffed up;  does not behave rudely; does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth;  bears all things, believes all things , hopes all things, endures all things.

We all need to do a check list and see if we are missing something that should reveal God's love to another.

Who is it that God has placed in our life, that needs to experience Agape love?

We are told to walk in love.

Ephesians 5:2

And walk in love,  As Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma.


This love that I am talking about is agape love.

Unconditional love, there are no conditions to meet when Agape love is present.

We love beyond what we could love in the natural.


You can disarm an angry person with love.

 The greatest weapon God has given us is His love.


I have seen this through the years, and it never fails.

Too many of us want to express our opinion, and we lack love when we do that in our natural mind. 

Our opinion  if negative, can cause deep wounds in another's heart. God's love heals.

It is when the Holy Spirit who delivers the love to a heart  through us, that we can see a new peaceful response.

There is a reason that the first fruit of the Spirit is love. 

Because of that love we can and will experience the joy of the Lord.  When we have the joy of the Lord, we will walk in love and God's peace.


Beloved, check your love meter and make certain it is full. Full of unconditional love, The love that says, I will love you no matter what you say or do.

Remember it was God's love for us, that sent Jesus to redeem us from death and a sinful life, 

now because of Jesus, we can experience fellowship with our heavenly Father. We can experience Father's love through Jesus and pass it on to others.


God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
