The Power of Love
In these days of division and war, I am calling My Bride to demonstrate the way of love and unity. Resist feeling overwhelmed by what is playing out on the world’s stage. The enemy is inciting the world to hatred and rage, but I came to draw ALL men to myself. I am the great I AM. I am God enthroned, the Sovereign One. My Kingdom is an eternal one and it will remain.
The time has come for the Body of Christ to be completely healed and to break the partnerships with the spirits of religion and division. Deal with the little foxes – the small issues – that would cause offence and bitterness to remain. Prayerfully and intentionally break down the barriers within the wider Church as you seek opportunities to be a blessing to individuals or other parts of the Body of Christ in your community. Work together for the sake of the Kingdom. I am calling My Bride to walk in the beauty of purity and holiness.
By demonstrating unity of heart and purpose, and by surrendering your lives to Me, your King, you will bring great glory to Me and transform hearts in the process. So, love where you are, and love well, and do not underestimate the power of My love.
Activation: Take time to spend with the Lord and ask Him to reveal if there is any offense in your heart towards another person or group. When He shows you these things, repent, forgive, and open yourself to receive a fresh outpouring of His love for both yourself and the other person. Ask the Lord to help you come up with a plan for how you can show love to that person or group in a practical way.
John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Ephesians 4:1-3 (NIV)
As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received: with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.
Ephesians 4:1-6 (MSG)
In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline—not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences. You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.
