Welcome! That same Spirit Who raised Christ from the dead, regenerated us, raised us and now dwells in us, creating a Divine flow to show us the way. The disciples who flowed with JESUS didn't receive that flow inwardly, until after the resurrection. Jesus told them:
"Behold, I send the Promised of My Father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49, NKJV).
The Divine Flow . . .
On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, they were sent forth with love and boldness to do the work of the ministry.
During the Apostles ministry, we read of thousands being born again, healed and baptised with the Holy Spirit. That same Divine flow of Pentecostal power and love is available today through faith in God's grace. This flow breaks down egos and melts hearts to receive Christ as Lord. This melting away of pride is like the wax of a candle burning as our lives get closer to the Divine Himself.
Our Heavenly Father is waiting for you to get into the flow for spending eternity with Him. This Divine flow of the Holy Spirit will satisfy your deepest need for love, peace and joy for true healing and acceptance. Moreover, you will be empowered to minister to those around you with excitement, joy and great results.
JESUS said, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8, NKJV).
Love Overcomes Sin . . .
I see the Christian life as one of love, compassion and righteous indignation. You may question the latter, but we're to hate the thing the Lord hates. Solomon listed seven (7) things in Proverbs 6:16-19, but the power of God's grace give us the ability to overcome these sins:
• A proud look.
• A lying tongue.
• Killing the innocent.
• Plotting evil.
• Wrong doing.
• A false witness.
• Sowing discord.
The flow of Divine love flushes out stinky thinking and emotions that may trigger sinful actions.
This flow of the Spirit is a river of life that doesn't allow stagnation to hinder the flow. The fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and temperance. For example, temperance is more than self-control. Rather, temperance is a quality empowered by the Holy Spirit, not self! When we are tempted by lying thoughts, we're enabled to challenge every thought with temperance.
"We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5, NLT).
Love In Action . . .
The revelation of love being an action is a life-changer for relationships. In writing the Acts of the Apostles, Luke didn't use the word "love" ["agape" in Greek], because he saw Divine love as an action. I recall hearing Pastor Chuck Swindoll say in a sermon over the radio that life is 80% reaction and only 20% action. We have a choice to react in frustration or act in love when others trigger us. God acted in love when He gave His Son JESUS, as a sacrifice for our sin.
"God demonstrated His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8, NKJV).
The word "agape" describes this God kind of love as Divine, unconditional, self-sacrificial love! It's an action that loves others regardless of whether they meet our expectations or not. It's easy to react in frustration, but the key is to slow down, examine and challenge every thought before speaking and act in love. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through us to produce the fruit of the Spirit, which is LOVE!
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil" (1 Corinthians 13:4, 5).
Abounding In Love . . .
I've found that frustration, anxiety and fear is caused by the lack of knowledge of God's love. When we find ourselves anxious and in doubt, it's because our love tank is on empty. As a result, we'll be fueled by fear and anxiety, which produces failure in our lives. The Children of Israel were destroyed because of a lack of knowledge [Hosea 4:6]. Without the knowledge of God's love filling our hearts, we have a void in our core that is impossible to satisfy.
God is love! "Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:6-8a).
Our Heavenly Father did not give us the spirit of fear, but He is the One Who fills our lives with the Spirit of power, love and a sound mind [2 Timothy 1:7]. The flow of His Spirit keeps our love tanks producing a life free of insecurity and unbelief. When we become secure in God's love, the Holy Spirit causes a glow of the soul on our face that attracts others when witnessing, that only a relationship with God can produce.
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life" (Jude 20, 21, NKJV).
RECEIVE GOD'S LOVE TODAY!
- Admit your need -- TURN!
- Believe in the Lord Jesus!
- Confess Him as Lord, and
- Call on Him to BE SAVED!
JESUS HELP! I believe that You forgave my sin. God raised You from the dead, and I confess You as my Lord, Savior and Righteousness.
A Prayer For You . . .
"I pray to be rooted and grounded in love, that I may be able to know and experience what is the width, length, depth and height of the love of Christ, that I may be filled with all the fullness of God, doing all things by the His power" (Ephesians 3:17-20).
THANK YOU JESUS FOR LOVING ME!
I love you, Charles, from my prison cell in San Diego, California.
