1st Corinthians 16:14 (Amplified Classic) Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God’s love for us).
Colossians 3: 17 (Amplified Classic) And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.
Colossians 3: 14 (Amplified Classic) And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].
A real gift comes from the heart and is given in love without expecting anything in return. No strings attached. If something is expected in return the gift is no longer a gift.
A real gift cost the giver something and is a blessing to the receiver.
A real gift comes from the heart not the purse or wallet and has nothing to do with financial value to the giver or the receiver. The Love in which it is given from the heart becomes its real value.
To the giver the most rewarding part of the gift is not the planning, the making or purchase of the gift but it is in the giving from the heart and how that gift is received by the receiver. The desire of the giver is the joy and blessing of the receiver. When the receiver receives the gift from the giver, they receive the heart of the giver.
The greatest gift that we can give to someone comes from our heart.
There are some gifts that can only come from the heart of the person themselves. The gift of my Love, The gift of my Trust, The gift of my honor to the person, The gift of my forgiveness, The gift of my respect, The gift of my smile, The gift of my touch, The gift of my encouragement, The gift of my prayers, The gift of my kind words.
A gift given from the heart but not received in the manner and purpose given loses its value to both the receiver and the giver.
A true Christian should be living the true heart of Christmas 24/7, 365 and 1/4 or continuously
The Gift that we give God should have a value to God, come from the heart, and cost us something. What we give to God must be from the heart. God desires our heart. A gift of our self. The heart gift because we want to and choose to do so.
Love is the distinguishing mark of the Christian: It is the only way the World will recognize us as Believers. The power flows from the unity of heart.
Matthew 18: 19 -20 (Amplified Classic) Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven. (20) For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.
The key to individual and corporate revival lies in the unity of heart or our Love one for another. Love between the individual and God which leads to the unity or Love of the corporate body and God.
John 13:33 – 34 (Amplified Classic) I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. (34) By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].
John 17: 20 – 23 (Amplified Classic) Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, (21) That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. (22) I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: (23) I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. ** (1st John 4: 17 … As He Is so are we in this world.)
The Key to overflow in our lives is in the setting of our Love upon God and in walking the Love Walk. When we set your love upon God, keep His commandments, and walk in His Ways, we open the door for manifestations in every area of our life.
When we do not set our love upon God and keep His commandments, we open the door for the enemy Satan to work in our life.
We will never walk in Revival without walking in Love. Our Faith will not work without Love.
Our prayers will not work without Faith and Faith will not work without Love.
If we do not walk the Love Walk, we will not be able to be Spiritually Minded. If we are not Spiritually Minded, which is walking the Love Walk, we will not be able to properly hear the voice of the Holy Spirit as guides us.
Galatians 5: 6 (Amplified Classic) For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
Real Revival is more than outward signs. Real Revival takes place in the heart of the individual then leads to corporate Revival one heart at a time.
