Everything Hangs on the Rod of Love. When you let love fall, your faith, healing, prosperity, prayers, deliverance, everything will fall.

Luke 10: 25 – 28 (Amplified Classic) And then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]? (26) Jesus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? (27) And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. (28) And Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live [enjoy active, blessed, endless life in the kingdom of God].          

Manifestations come through expressing God’s love toward others.  But we have resisted God’s love for so long that we fail to see manifestations in our lives as we should.  Real love always produces manifestations of His Presence. We must demonstrate love in order to have genuine manifestation of God’s Word in our life at all times,

John 13: 34 – 35 (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. (35) By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

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 Gift That Comes from the Heart”

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.

The Bible is full of God’s Gifts to Man.

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.

Colossians 1: 9 – 14 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (10) that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; (11) strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; (12) giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. (13) He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, (14) in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. (NKJV)

As believers, it is essential that we know and understand God’s Love and Mercy. That we develop trust in His Love and Mercy.  This is the message that He so deeply desires for the world to know.  It is our message to a dark and hurting world.

If we are to have faith and confidence in Him, we must trust in His mercy.

We must Develop Faith in the Mercy of God.  God is faithful to His mercy. 

Deuteronomy 7: 9 (NKJV) Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

2nd Thessalonians 3: 3 (NKJV) But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

The entire Word of God emphasizes God’s Love, Mercy, and Goodness.  We can trust in His Mercy.  His Mercy endures forever.

Psalm 145: 9 (NKJV) The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.

Psalm 106: 1 Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 

God the Father wants us to trust and have confidence in His mercy. He wants us to build our faith concerning His love and mercy. He desires for us to step out on it and give Him a chance to demonstrate His mercy toward us.

Love is the Foundation for Everything in Christian Life. Whenever Jesus talks about keeping His commandments, He is talking about the commandment of love. Love is not a suggestion: it is a command from the Commander-in-Chief God.

Matthew 22: 34 – 40 (NKJV) But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. (35) Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, (36) “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” (37) Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ (40) On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

John 15: 9 – 13 (Amplified Classic) I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. (10) If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love. (11) I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing. (12) This is My commandment: that you love one another [just] as I have loved you. (13) No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.

You cannot walk in the Spirit (or be Spiritually Minded) without walking in Love. The root or source of every commandment is Love.

Walking in the Spirit is dwelling in the Secret Place.

Psalm 91: 1 – 2 (Amplified Classic) HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. (2) I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

You cannot walk in the Spirit or dwell in the Secret Place without setting your love upon Him

Col. 2: 6 – 7 (Amplified Classic) As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. (7) Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.

If I have set my love upon Him, I will be walking in the Spirit.  If I am walking in the Spirit the Fruit of the Spirit will be flowing in and through my life.

Having an established heart means that you are Spiritually or Love Minded. Walking in the Spirit is walking in love. You cannot walk in the Spirit without walking in Love

Romans 8: 5 – 6  (NKJV) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (6) For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

All sin (no matter what it is) is self-centered *** All Love is others centered.  

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in a place to know His Ways and what our ways are supposed to be.

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in a place where we can hear the voice of The Holy Spirit.  God Himself Who lives in each of us.

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in a place where we can be guided by The Holy Spirit.  Yes, in every area of life.

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in place to know what and how to choose

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in a place where God Himself has an eye on our path of life and He Himself will teach us how to choose

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in a place where the Angels can protect and work for us.

Being Spiritually Minded (Love Minded) puts us in a place where we are victorious over the world

Psalm 91: 14 – 16 (Amplified Classic) Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness–trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. (15) He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. (16) With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

Everything is an issue of the Heart – A love issue.  Everything flows from the heart. That is why Love is the #1 Priority in life.  Nothing is more important.

Proverbs 4: 20 – 23 (Amplified Classic) My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. (21) Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. (22) For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. (23) Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

God and His Word are One.  John 1: 1 (Amplified Classic) IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.

If God Is Love, then His Word Is Love. 

Words are sown in the heart.  The Word Is Life.  That is why it is so vital that we protect the heart above all that we guard.  The issues of life flow from the heart.

Matthew 6: 21(NKJV & Amp. Classic) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

It is God’s deep desire that we know Him in His Fullness and that we are deeply rooted in Him.

We are God’s Children. We should see everything through the eyes of Love.

If we truly Love The Lord God with all of our heart, all of our soul, and all of our mind then we open the door for manifestations in every area of our life.  Our Heart will be Established, and we will dwell in the Secret Place of God’s Rest.

1st Peter 3: 18 (Amplified Classic)  For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit,

All of God’s Ways are Love.

Ephesians 3: 17 – 19 (Amplified Classic)  May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, (18) That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; (19) [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

It is vital that we know the Ways of the Lord.  We must become Spiritually Minded.  To be Spiritually minded we must know God’s Ways.  We must make His Ways our ways.

If we do not know God’s Ways, the enemy the Devil will be able to easily deceive us.  We will be carnally minded. If we are carnally or fleshly, worldly minded our ways are not God’s Ways.

As we study God’s Living Word, and walk in Love, God’s Ways are revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. All of God’s Ways are revealed in Jesus Christ.  All of God’s Ways are Love because God Is Love.  If God Is Love, then we are Love. If His Ways are all Love, then our ways are also Love.

The Ways of the Lord Are; Therefore, our ways are: Love – Absolute Truth – Mercy – Grace – Loving kindness – Goodness – Faithfulness – Integrity – Long suffering – Full of Joy – Eternal without ceasing – Holy – Steadfast – Righteous – Bring life – Always right

God Is Love!  It is the reason for everything that He does.  He does nothing that is not rooted and founded on Love because He Is Love!

Ephesians 2: 4 – 10 (Amplified Classic)  But God–so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, (5) Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation). (6) And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (7) He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. (8) For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; (9) Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] (10) For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. 

Ephesians 2: 1 (NKJV) And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

Romans 5: 8 (Amplified Classic) But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.

John 5: 24 (Amplified Classic)  I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life.

John 1: 1 – 5 (NKJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) He was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 1: 14 (NKJV) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Colossians 1:15 – 16 (NKJV) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (16) For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. (17)  And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (18)  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (19)  For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

(Amplified Classic) verse (15) He is the exact likeness.

Love is the foundation for everything that we do as Christians, actually, Love is the foundation for everything period.  God does not just have love; He is love or The Person Love Himself.

1st John 4: 7 – 8 (Amplified Classic)Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him]. (8) He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

1st John 4: 16 – 17 (Amplified Classic) And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. (17) In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

Love (Himself) is the Point of Origin

The Law of Love has its point of origin in God Himself at the very beginning of all things

When God said Light Be!  Love said Light Be!

Love Himself walked with Adam in the Garden of Eden

Love Himself made covenant with Abraham

Love Himself told Moses to tell the Israelites “I Am sent me” (burning bush)

Love Himself brought Israel out of Egypt

Love Himself gave Moses the Ten Commandments

Love Himself parted the Red Sea

Love Himself came in the flesh as the baby Jesus

Love Himself walked with the disciples and performed the miracles

Love Himself washed the feet of the disciples

Love Himself hung on the Cross for us and took all of our sins paying the entire price for us

Love Himself now dwells inside of all Born Again children of God.  As He Is So are we in this world.

Love Himself is coming again.
