Ever since the The Father baptized me in His Liquid love in early 2002. The revelation of Divine Love has never stopped growing in me. I believe with all my heart it’s one of the messages I will carry and share for the rest of my life.
I have seen such a need for these love messages in the body of Christ, not just to know the Love of the Father but to have and walk in this love towards others.
Motivated by God’s Love.
My concern is that we do all the things Jesus did without being motivated with the same divine Love that was in Jesus and motivated him to help people.
Mathew 9:36 "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd."
Moved by compassion
Jesus was not just preaching that God Loves You, He was manifesting the Love of God that abided on the inside of Him. Jesus was moved by the love of God to heal the sick and liberate people from bondages. He was filled with that divine love flame that forced him to give himself to others for their freedom and wholeness.
The Fruit of Love.
Jesus said: By their fruits you will know them.
(Mathew 7:20)
The fruit is not how many converts we have or how many prophecies we give or how many miracles we see God do through us. The anointing falls on all flesh but the fruit of love only comes out of those that are abiding in Christ Jesus.
(John 15:5)
God is not impressed by how much anointing we have on our life’s. But He is very impressed when he sees the fruit of love springing fourth from us as a result of abiding in Him.
Glorifying our Father.
We glorify our heavenly Father when we bear much fruit
(John 15:8).
And the fruit is Love
(Galatians 5:22-23) and out of the single fruit Love comes all the other attributes of our heavenly Father.
We know that in the picture Jesus gives His disciples in John 15 The Father is the vinedresser and he is looking for fruit on the branches. He is looking for the proof that you really are connected with the true Vine Jesus Christ. The proof that we are in Christ and Christ in us is THE FRUIT OF LOVE.
He said:
"By this all shall know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another" (John 13:35)
The proof is in the pudding.
Love is the main ingredient. It’s the very proof that we have been born of the incorruptible seed of God.
(1 Peter 1:23)
No longer are we evaluating people on how much power of God they have on their life's but rather how much of the fruit of love they have in their life's .
1 John 4:8,9 "Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
The express image of the Father.
If the First born, Jesus Christ is the express image of the Father in heaven.
(Hebrews 1:3) We as Sons and Daughters have same destiny and goal to become just as our heavenly Father in Character and nature. Our destination is to be transformed to his image and become perfect just as our Father is perfect
(of full age).
(Mathew 5:48)
Pursue Love.
Let us follow the instructions from
1 Corinthians 14:1 "PURSUE LOVE and desire spiritual gifts…"
First Love then spiritual gifts the reason is found in 1 Corinthians chapter 13.
We can prophecy ,do miracles, provide for the needy and have all the faith in world but it would all be WORTHLESS WITHOUT THE LOVE OF GOD IN US!
If it's not done in love it’s done by the wrong motivation and WORTHLESS IN GOD’S EYES.
He has promised that if we abide in Him the fruit of Love will come out of us and benefit others as a result.
John 13:34 "A new commadment I give to you that you should love one another; as I have love you…"
