The Force of Love.

Galatians 5:6 KJV
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Faith without love is nothing. Faith without love is dead and ineffective. 1 Corinthians 13:2. In Christ Jesus, faith is the only thing that counts. Our salvation does not depend on our physical force and influence; it is by grace through faith. However, the faith must work through love. The force of love is a vital force to the effectiveness and power of faith. Romans 5:5, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us. Without Gods love, there is no life. There is eternal life because Love showed up. John 3:16.

When Love showed up, the life of God was revealed. We know we have life when we love one another. 1 John 3: 14. We are to live and walk in love. If our faith will produce greater exploits, then love is the power to make it work. Faith is hearing and doing Gods Word. This is obedience.
Hebrews 11:8, By faith Abraham obeyed Obedience is the manifestation of the love of God. Obedience to Gods Word comes from the heart that loves Gods Word. Your obedience to God is the revelation of your love to Him. Obedience is accomplished when love is in place. Therefore, faith is made effective when love is in place. Faith is obedience to Gods Word that comes from the heart that loves Gods Word. You cannot obey Gods Word apart from your love for Gods Word. It is your love for the Word that stirs up faith in you. Without love, obedience is not possible, hence faith is not delivered.

John 14:23-24 KJV
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

The life of Love is the fulfillment of the law. When you abide in Love, there is no judgment against you. The commandment of Jesus Christ is of love. The law of the New Creation is Love. There is no greater law in the kingdom. Love is the commander of all the law. The genuine manifestation of Gods Word in your life at all times is in your demonstration of love toward God and man.  Faith can only deliver when Love reigns.

Love is obedience to the Word of God. Love is manifested in obedience to the Word. To love God is to keep His Word, and to keep His Word is to know Him. You know that you know Him when you do His Word.

1 John 2:3-5 KJV And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
(4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
(5) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Love is the fulfilling of the law. Love does not think evil of his neighbour. Love does no harm to his neighbour. Love is departing from evil and doing what is right and good in the sight of God. Every one that loves another has fulfilled the law.

The extent of your knowing him is determined by the extent to which you love your brethren. He that loves abide in God and God abides in him. Love is the proof of our sonship of God. It is the love of God that made us the children of God. And abiding in this love promotes the manifestation of the presence of God in our lives and to the world.

The law of love is the law of the new creation. It is the law of the family of God. Love is the law of the family of Love, for God is love. We are born of love; hence the seed of love is in us making us to love just like God. Faith delivers when love reigns. Faith is effective with the power of love.

The commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ is that we love one another just as He has loved us. The manifestation of the sons of God is the outworking of the love of God in them. We cannot manifest as Gods sons without walking in His love.

Matthew 22:36-40 GNB "Teacher," he asked, "which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"  (37) Jesus answered, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
(38) This is the greatest and the most important commandment.
(39) The second most important commandment is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'  (40) The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments."

The law of love is the most important law of the family. Every other law has its root in the law of love. Every teaching and revelation depends on love to function and produce the desired results. Without the love nothing works in the kingdom.

Without love the gift of tongues become mere noise making. Without love, prophecies and mysteries become valueless. Without law of love, the law of faith is paralyzed. Without love, giving becomes unprofitable and burdensome.

It is the law of love that gives life and glory to all the other laws in the kingdom. The violation of the law of love will results in the failure of the operation of the kingdom of God, because love is the only force that is fail proof. Love never fails.

If the law of love is violated, all things in the kingdom will fail. It is the rod of love that holds all things in place. It is on the rod of love that all things hang. When you let the rod of love falls, every things fall with it.

Without love, faith will fail.
Without love, prosperity will fail.
Without love, healing will fail.
Without love, deliverance will fail.
Without love, anointing will not work.
Without love, nothing works in the kingdom.

Love never fails. God is love. God is the Source of all blessing in Christ. Abiding in love is connecting to the Source of all blessing. Love is the commander of all laws. The commandment of Jesus Christ is love. The law of the new creation is love. This law of love is the spirit of the new creation. Therefore, not to abide in love is to be disconnected from the spirit of life.

There is no greater law in the kingdom of God. There is no law that supersede and that can supersede the law of love in the kingdom. The genuine manifestation of Gods Word in you at all times is in your demonstration of love towards God and man.

The Heart of Love.

Proverbs 23:26 KJV My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Until you give your heart to Him, you can never love Him. It takes your heart to obey God and keep His Word. It takes a heart of love to walk in obedience to the word of God. Obedience to God is in the heart.

It requires your heart to give and pay attention to God and His Word. It is setting your affections and desires on Him to the extent that nothing else is more important to you than God and His Word. The intensity of your attention to God and His Word is the measure of your heart that is with Him.

Complete attention requires the whole heart. You give Him all. It is the intensity of your love towards the Word of God that determines your height and glory in life.

When your faith is consistently connected to the love of God, you become an ever winning believer. Love is the force that set you up on the realm of continuous victory and triumphs.

Your love for God and His kingdom guarantees and establishes your prosperity and superabundant life. It is the force of love that delivers unto you your inheritance among the saints. A believer without a heart of love for God and His children will never be set up for a glorious and dignified life.

Deuteronomy 11:13-15 KJV And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
(14) That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
(15) And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

When you love God and serve Him affectionately, God Himself will set you up for a whole lifetime of prosperity and abundance.

The level of your love is what determines and procures the blessings of heaven in your life. A life of heaven on earth answers to a genuine love and affections for God and His kingdom on earth.

When you abide and walk in love, heavens will come to abide and dwell in you and fill you with the goodness and blessing of God. The best of life answers to the force of love.

Love the LORD your God is heavens topmost requirement to qualify for its abundance. Love God is the principal command God demands from His people. When you abide in the love of God, God will automatically manifest Himself in your life and in all you laid your hands to do.

Abiding in the love of God procures and establishes divine freshness and satisfaction.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit flows unhindered in the atmosphere of love. Love is keeping and obeying the Word of Jesus. It is abiding in Jesus love even as He abided in the Fathers love.

The dwelling place of God is the love-filled heart. God cannot resist a life filled with His love. A life of love is the life of God.
