The True Source of Power: Deeper than a feeling; Love is the answer to all things

As people, we appreciate love as an intense emotion. We feel at home when we know that we are accepted, wanted, and desired. From the time we are formed, we can feel and react to love. Even in the womb, an infant can feel love from their mother and emit hormonal responses. Love is such a force that whether we admit it or not —whether we are happy, sad, or angry — we long for it. Whether our hearts are open or closed, our hearts still have varying degrees of longing to be loved. Love gives life, and in its purest form, has the strength to defend life.

Love is gentle and kind, yet powerful. The strength of love is unfathomable — capable of connecting us to God, whom we cannot see and anchoring us through discernment of His presence, for a day when we will know Him in glory. Love connects us to one another, causes life to emerge, and creates oneness where there was division. Yet, it is the strength of love that gives it the power to wage war against evil. When perfected, love becomes a force that cannot be contained. It changes the most stubborn heart and transforms the most adverse mindset. Love is a force that our words can never fully express. As complex as it is to understand our Lord, so it is to comprehend the width and breadth of Love.

God IS Love and all the Power You Need.

His nature is the pure depiction of Love’s character. It is patient. It is kind. It holds no grudges and does not seek its own. Unless we walk in Love, we cannot be reconnected to its Source — it is that simple. Love is the plug that fits into the ultimate Power Source. We may understand great mysteries, we may faithfully attend church or Bible study, but without Love, our sound to Heaven is as tinkling cymbals. Without Love, we are unrecognizable to the Savior, because it is His essence within us that makes us known to Him.

Can you imagine for one moment, how connectivity to God, our Source of Life, makes us successful in all that we do? The parameters for our connectivity are simply that we love Him with all of our heart, soul, and mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. It simply requires that we keep our focus on what pleases God. We are then promised that everything else we need and desire within His Will, will be supplied to us. Love is expressed through the fruit which are virtues, that include: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity. These fruit are as One, and together, they equal Love- too strong for the Law to contain. This is the fruit of the Tree of Life that is the only force that is perpetual- Love.

We live in a world where love is so scarce, that when it is shown, it is often not trusted. The Bible tells us in Matthew 24;12 that in the last days, because iniquity will abound men's hearts will wax cold. People have normalized selfish gain, so much, that the look of Love is foreign to them, causing their hearts not to be moved by the presence of God. Men's god has become the altars they set up for themselves. But Love is so pure that it cannot intermingle with anything other than itself. It cannot be hidden, nor its essence dulled. No matter how much people desire to kill your thunder, when you walk in Love; in Christ, they cannot contain the glow He has set upon you and in you. It is imbedded in your inward parts, as sure as the impregnation of our first father was buried and birthed from the dust to be a glory to God in the earth.

God sends out His Spirit with the expectation that we emulate Him and also send forth His Love. We can spend years building our portfolios, accumulating achievements and greatness, but if it is not fueled by the essence of the Almighty — the very Breath of Life, which is Love — it is all in vain.

So, if there were ever a formula for living for Christ and walking in obedience, it is to first believe and then to seek Love and its perfecting power. When pure faith and belief collide, they set the atmosphere for Love and for miracles to become normalized. Miracles don't have proper breeding ground where hatred and fear exist. So seek and find Love where miracles, life, and healing live bountifully in the bosom of the Father who is ready and willing to bless you and exalt you.

The most important thing you can ever do —the very reason you were created —is to receive Love and to give it. To flow in it, live by its principles, and with every talent and gift, manifest Love.

Within it hangs all the commandments perfected through Love. When you are seeking your next level, your elevation, your life partner, your healing and restoration, seek Love and trust that its ultimate power will get you to your right destination.
