Joyce and I recently chatted with friends about what the Lord
has been showing us. Here was Joyce’s reply that I whole heartily
agree with;
“God has been reducing my theology to loving Him with all that I
am, and loving others with His love. “
Matthew 22:37-40
37Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord
your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39A second is
equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40The entire
law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two
commandments.”
Jesus gave His life to fulfill all the law, and all the
commandments that we could never fulfill, and then presented us
with His new commandment, that we
love.
It seems like theology and doctrine that does not bring life needs
to be reconsidered. We have created quite a mess in the messed up
mindsets of doctrine, theology, and religion. We have had a severe
famine in the agape love of God, the very thing Jesus said was
everything.
1John 4:19- We love each other because he loved us first.
It is time we come down to ground zero of our faith as He takes us
from the pinnacle of powerless religious activities to becoming
ambassadors of His divine nature, and His Glorious Kingdom.
It takes God to love God!
Our love can only join His as we engage in loving Him and loving
others in His “Most Excellent Way.” Everything of the Kingdom
originates with God. Father is Agape… He is Love. The essence of
the Kingdom is returning to the Father, His love in the purest
form, 30, 60, 100 fold, for His glory.
I have heard of a ship that is now built that is fueled with
Plutonium. The Ship does not need to be refueled for 35 years. The
Plutonium of God is His agape love, and as His people we need to
be fueled for every good work, by His divine agape.
Jesus plus nothing is Everything!
Jesus said that if you had seen Him, you had seen the Father, and
that He and the Father are one. By His obedience, death, and
resurrection, we have been included in the mix;
John 17:22-23
22“I
have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we
are one.
23I am in them
and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the
world will know that you sent me, and that you love them as much
as you love me.
Jesus was the Incarnate of the Father and now has established us
as the Incarnate of the Father to bring His government to the
earth. How is this done? By His Agape presence within us and His
Agape presence as we relate to a hurting world.
The Kingdom of God does not need or want revival. It just is…
Revivals often turn into man centered and man controlled
environments, and then they end. They are not bad, just inadequate
in light of His Kingdom. The Kingdom has no end, so that is what I
am pursuing.
Matthew 6:33
Seek first the Kingdom of God, and live in His
righteousness, and Father will give you everything you need.
Religion loses its plutonium, (agape) and functions on principles…
Gifts that the Lord has given us can be operated outside of love,
and can manifest through personal agenda’s in the form of
manipulation and control.
Faith plus anything without Love is
Dead
Galatians 5:4-6
I suspect you would never intend
this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your
own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ,
you fall out of grace. Meanwhile we expectantly wait for a
satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither
our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion
amounts to anything. What matters is something far more
interior: faith expressed
in love
May we all seek after His “Most Excellent Way”, the way of His
Kingdom, and an authentic visitation that overwhelms us in the
embrace of His Agape…..
