Do You Live Like GOD Loves You?
When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22
I was going to the store to pick up some groceries. As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed a young man going to his car and he was about to leave. JESUS put him very strongly on my heart and I knew that I needed to speak with him. I parked our SUV and started a conversation with him. He was in amazement and was very receptive to prayer. I got my son out of the SUV, and we prayed for him. As I was praying, GOD spoke to my spirit some things that he had been going through. When we finished praying, he was overwhelmed as he told me how what I had prayed for was what he was going through and actually what he was doing a Bible Study about. We prayed with him a prayer to give his life to JESUS and we were overwhelmed with the joy of the LORD! Only JESUS can do that!
One of the most important Truths from the Bible to experience in order to walk in the fullness of what GOD has for your life is an understanding and an experience with GOD’s love! GOD’s love for you, to you, in you, and through you! The New Covenant teaches that the real “you” is not who you used to be. The real “you” is who JESUS is in you and through you; that you are now a new creation in CHRIST JESUS! Many times, believers are overwhelmed with condemnation, guilt, shame, fear, and/or lust. An understanding of GOD’s love can set you free!
