The biggest enemy to the love of God is love of self. You must get rid of selfishness in order to walk in the love of God.
You must be willing to put God’s will above your own desires and above everything else in your life. That is what it really means to love God.
What do you have on the throne of your heart as a priority?
What keeps you from your time with the Lord or doing what you already know to do?
What are you so tied to that it effects your time with the Lord?
Many people tie themselves to money, houses, other people, and pleasures instead of God. However, you cannot get so tied to those things that you forget God.
Matthew 6: 33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. (34) So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. (Amplified Classic)
Loving God, setting your love upon Him, requires that you tie yourself to Him and Him alone. He should be your number one priority.
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].
Matthew 6: 33 (Amplified Classic) But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. (34) So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
When you truly set your love upon God, Who IS Love, the worries and fears of life no longer concern you because He IS with you.
Colossians 3: 1 – 4 (Amplified Classic) IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.(2) And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. (3) For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. (4) When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.
Proverbs 3: 5 – 6 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. (6) In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. (Amplified Classic)
Psalm 31: 1a In You O Lord do I put my trust and seek refuge. (Amplified Classic)
Confidence must be developed. We must develop confidence in God and His Word before the problem or issue comes. We need to practice our trust and confidence in God and His Word every day in every circumstance and situation of life. Not just when problems are present. If we wait till the problem arrives, we will have a difficult time developing our confidence.
If we really had the confidence and trust in God and His Word that we say we have, we would respond differently to the problems and circumstances of life. If I really do have confidence in God and His Word, I will trust Him in every area of my life.
David knew where to place his confidence. It was a habitual lifestyle for David. You find him constantly declaring his confidence in God and His Word. Do you?
Like David many of us have had some trouble in our lives but let’s take a look at how David handled the troubles and problems that he faced in life. We should be responding in the same way.
Psalm 56: 3 What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You. (Amplified Classic)
Psalm 31: 14 – 15 But I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God.(15) My times are in Your hands;(Amplified Classic)
Psalm 25: 1 – 2a Unto You O Lord do I bring my life. O my God I Trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in you. (Amplified Classic)
Psalm 31: 5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness. (Amplified Classic)
1stCorinthians 13:7 – 8 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (8) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. (Amplified Classic)
Romans 5:5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. (Amplified Classic)
Romans 8:31 – 39 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] (32) He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things? (33) Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?] (34) Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us? (35) Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? (36) Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. (37) Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. (38) For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, (39) Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Amplified Classic)
1st John 4: 4 Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. (Amplified Classic)
1st Corinthians 13: 7 – 8 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (8) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. (Amplified Classic)
Romans 5:5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. (Amplified Classic)
2 Tim. 2: 22 Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); [and aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. (Amplified Classic)
Walking in agape love requires development and training.
It is vital that we develop and strengthen our inner man or our Spirit Man which is the real man.
We cannot be successful in developing and building our Love Walk without the Holy Spirit who lives and abides in every Born-Again Believer. He is our Helper in the developing process.
Ephesians 3: 16 – 19 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. (17) 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]! (Amplified Classic)
Our Love one for another is proof that we love God. Love is the perfect bond of union between you and others.
John 17: 21 – 23 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.(Amplified Classic)
1st John 5: 1 EVERYONE WHO believes (adheres to, trusts, and relies on the fact) that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah) is a born-again child of God; and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of Him (His offspring). (Amplified Classic)
1st John 4: 20 – 21 If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. (21) And this command (charge, order, injunction) we have from Him: that he who loves God shall love his brother [believer] also. (Amplified Classic)
A sign of the end times is when love grows cold among people.
Matthew 24: 12 – 14 (Amplified Classic) And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, (13) But he who endures to the end will be saved. (14) And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
How do I prepare for the End Times? Some people never think about or ask this question. We live like there will be no end times.
Matthew 24: 35 – 42 (Amplified Classic) Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (36) But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (37) As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (38) For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark, (39) And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away–so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (40) At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. (41) Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left. (42) Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
Matthew 25: 13 (Amplified Classic) Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come.
Romans 13: 11 – 12 (Amplified Classic) Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). (12) The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light.
Luke 21: 34 (Amplified Classic)But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose; (35) For it will come upon all who live upon the face of the entire earth. (36) Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.
1st Peter 3: 8 – 9 (Amplified Classic) Finally, all [of you] should be of one and the same mind (united in spirit), sympathizing [with one another], loving [each other] as brethren [of one household], compassionate and courteous (tenderhearted and humble). (9) Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God–that you may obtain a blessing as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection].
The Love Commandment includes loving your enemies and doing good to those who hate and curse you or speak negatively about you.
John 15: 12 – 14 (Amplified Classic) 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. (14) You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do.
Jesus did not only die for His Friends but also for His enemies. He died once for all.
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,
Luke 6: 27 – 28 (Amplified) But I say to you who are listening now to Me: [in order to heed, make it a practice to] love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred, (28) Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God’s blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you [who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you].
Jesus described Agape Love in His High Priestly prayer in John 17.
John 17: 20 – 23 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. (Amplified Classic)
God’s agape love has been poured into the heart of every Believer. Therefore, we can love supernaturally. Every Christian has the capacity to love as God does because God has poured out His Love into our hearts.
Romans 5: 5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. (Amplified Classic)
Agape love is supernatural love that will enable us to love beyond our natural ability. Agape Love has no limits. Human love is emotional love and has a limit.
As Believers we can love beyond our natural ability because Love Himself, by the presence of the Precious Holy Spirit, abides in the Heart or Spirit of the Believer.
As we position ourselves by making a quality decision to love and yield to the Holy Spirit, He empowers and guides us enabling us to love beyond our natural ability.
John 14: 26 – 27 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. (27) Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] (Amplified Classic)
1st John 4: 7 …God IS Love, 1st John 4: 8 …God IS Love, 1st John 4: 16 …God IS Love,
1st John 4: 17 …As He IS so are we in this world.
Four characteristics of God’s love at work in our lives are:
It is unconditional. It is not limited, but absolute and unqualified. You don’t have to be qualified to receive the Godkind of love.
It is one-sided. It does not need to be returned. It means initiating love no matter what.
It frees you to be you. You don’t need to wear the mask that attempts to shield who you really are. Once you understand that God loves you, it no longer matters what other people think about you.
It is others-centered love, not self-centered. The center of agape love is someone else.
When Jesus gave the Love Commandment in John 13: 34; John 15: 12; and in John 15: 17 this is the kind of Love He commanded us to walk in.
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.)
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.
Proverbs 3: 1 – 10 (Amplified Classic) MY SON, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; (2) For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.(3) Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. (4) So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man. When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.(5) Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. (6) In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.(7) Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. (8) It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones. (9) Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; (10) So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.
The person who has an established heart will dwell in the secret place of God’s Rest and Peace.
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!
A person who has an established heart has set their love upon the Lord. In Psalm 91: 14 – 16 God Himself declares what He will do for the person who has an established heart setting their love upon the Lord.
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.
Proverbs 3: 1 – 2 (Amplified Classic) MY SON, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; (2) For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.
1st John 3: 1 (NKJV) Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. (2) Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
1stPeter 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,
Ephesians 2: 1 (Amplified Classic) AND YOU [He made alive], when you were dead (slain) by [your] trespasses and sins
Ephesians 2:4 – 5 (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).
Jeremiah 17: 7 – 8 (Amplified Classic) [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. (8) For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
1st Corinthians 13: 7 – 8a (Amplified Classic) Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (8a) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]…
Colossians 2: 7 (Amplified Classic) 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.
Love is the fuel source for our Faith.
Galatians 5: 6b (Amplified Classic)…but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
Our prayers are not effective if our Love walk is out of order.
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
An established heart is fixed, steadfast, unwavering, trusting in the Lord always and in all circumstances no matter what those circumstances are. The established heart does not weaver in times of trouble or distress. A person with an established heart does not worry, fret, or fear. They do not focus on the problem but on the answer.
A person who has an established heart is a person who walks the Love Walk no matter what the circumstances are. The person with an established heart has set their love upon the Father. This person will be walking in the fruit of the Spirit.
The Person with an established heart is Spiritually minded, and God’s Word ruled. God and His Living Word is first place in this person’s life. They are not ruled by their senses, emotions, or feelings. God and His Living Word are first place in this person’s life. The person with an established heart or who is Spiritually minded will be God and others centered, not self-centered.
Proverbs 4: 23 (Amplified Classic) Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
Colossians 3: 1 – 3 (Amplified Classic)IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (2) And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. (3) For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
Galatians 5: 25 (Amplified Classic) If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.]
Psalm 25: 1(Amplified Classic) UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life. (2) O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You…
I want to change my life, but where do I start? I have tried so many times and have always failed. Have you ever said or thought that? Maybe you are there right now. Maybe you are at the place where you are just about to give up or have already given up. Some live their lives in depression, fear, and worry thinking that there is no hope for them. Some may have even considered suicide. Still others have already followed through thinking that it would be an escape. If this is you, do not give up and if you have given up start again. There is hope and an answer. Anyone who really wants to change, can change their lives right where they are.
If you are seeking to change your life to God’s way of life, then this message is for you. If you are tired of being sick and tired. If you have been hurt and bruised by life even if you did it to yourself. If you are seeking comfort due to the tragedies and troubles of life. If you are struggling with depression, fear, worry, bondage, hurt, sickness, or any other problems in life there is hope and there is an answer.
There is a starting place and God will teach you the pathway. God will not make you choose the pathway. He will offer it to you. You have to choose the pathway and walk in it, but you will not be walking it alone. He will strengthen and guide you.
