Does Love Really Never Fail?

Image
We read in 1st Corinthians 13:8 that “love never fails” yet we see relationships fail, sever, and become distant all around us. We thought  there was love in the relationship? T he scripture says "love never fails"? So, what happened? The true love of Jesus Christ himself was not functioning in the relationship or it would not have failed. The law of love that Jesus himself showed was that He was willing to go to the cross and die on our behalf—while we were yet sinners as Romans 5:8 tells us this truth that He loved us in our flaws--this, this is true love. This was one of my favorite scriptures when I first started walking in the things of the Lord. To grasp that while we weren't even thinking of the Lord he was thinking of us to the point of death so we could have freedom to ascend to the throne of God in purity of fellowship to the place of restoration as Adam and Eve in fellowship directly with God, walking in the cool of the morning with nothing hidden, no shame, no...

Nothing is Without Purpose

Nothing God asks of us is without purpose. No matter the path, no matter the sacrifice, no matter the risks involved to us personally a heart that responds with "NEVERTHELESS" is the heart God is looking for. Proverbs 19:21 tells us that many are the plans in a man's heart but nevertheless it is the counsel of the Lord that stands, the purposes of the Lord that will stand. I want to encourage you this morning to remain yielded to the purposes God is calling you to, remain yielded with a resounding "nevertheless" coming from your heart and your mind and your actions. "Nevertheless" yields a blessing, "nevertheless" yields a harvest for the Kingdom of God, there are souls waiting on your "nevertheless." I was quickened in prayer this morning to when the young girl Mary was being told by the angel Gabriel that there was a great purpose God was calling her to and requiring of her. She didn't understand how anything Gabriel w...

Faith, Favor and Territory

We are in a FAITH, FAVOR and TERRITORY taking moment! God has been saying all year to watch Him move, now in these last three months of the year we respond with "WE ARE MOVING WITH YOU" Jabez cried out to God in 1 Chronicles 4:10...we cry out right now with passion, with desperation, with hunger, we cry, we don't just ask BUT we cry out for the blessings of God, we cry out for new territory and even a taking back of territory, we ask God's hand of favor to be with us as we step and move in the new territory, as we advance we thank God for keeping all negative words and even harmful mindsets of our own that would hinder us from advancement and we thank God that He is granting our request, He is agreeing to and carrying out what we are petitioning His very throne for---it is done, it is granted. Invite God in to bless you, rely on Him as your sole source. He is the one who will bless you indeed! Choose to rely on Him for the territory you're stepping into. He...
