In Matthew chapter 22 Jesus spoke:<\/p>\n
37 Jesus said to him, \u201c \u2018You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.\u2019<\/em> <\/p>\n 38 This is the<\/em> first and great commandment. <\/p>\n 39 And the<\/em> second is<\/em> like it: \u2018You shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019<\/em> <\/p>\n 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.\u201d<\/p>\n In the above passage, Jesus clearly established the preeminence of Love in a believer\u2019s walk. Unless we embrace this highest Truth, we will be unable to totally fulfill our calling. This same Love was the basis for Jesus going to the cross and defeating the works of the devil. Heaven did not need to gain victory over the devil but we did thus Jesus died solely for us. This act was to show how great FATHER\u2019S Love is for us. Love requires corresponding actions.<\/p>\n The beloved disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 3:<\/p>\n 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his <\/em>brother abides in death<\/u>.<\/p>\n Stop and think about what has just been expressed by THE SPIRIT for this is the key to life. You can spend you life searching for remedies and answers to healing and health but if you do not Love your brother, neighbor, or mankind in general, you are abiding in death rather than life.<\/p>\n It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 11:<\/p>\n 6 But without faith it is<\/em> impossible to please Him,<\/em> for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that<\/em> He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.<\/p>\n Faith requires corresponding action and by acting on faith, we please Our Heavenly Father. Abraham is an excellent example of faith\u2019s corresponding actions. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 4:<\/p>\n 19 And not being weak in faith, he (Abraham) did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah\u2019s womb. <\/p>\n 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God<\/u>, <\/p>\n 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. <\/p>\n 22 And therefore \u201cit was accounted to him for righteousness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n When FATHER gives us a promise, it is up to us to receive HIS promise in our lives. HIS promises are not needed in Heaven but are needed by us on earth. Abraham received The Word from FATHER and stood on that promise until it was manifested years later. In the meantime, he gave glory to GOD and walked according to the promise. His wife Sarah joined him in unity as well. In Hebrews chapter 11 we read of her faith:<\/p>\n 11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.<\/p>\n As we take corresponding actions by faith, we affirm our trust and reliance on FATHER\u2019S Word to us. We do not consider what we see just as Abraham and Sarah did not consider their aged bodies in producing an offspring. Notice that Sarah\u2019s body began strengthening as she walked in faith. Ultimately, the physical will line up with the Spiritual if we continue steadfast in faith. In the final analysis, our actions speak louder than words and will produce fruit based on our walk in Love and faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Matthew chapter 22 Jesus spoke: 37 Jesus said to him, \u201c \u2018You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.\u2019 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: \u2018You shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 40 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-love"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5905"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5906,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5905\/revisions\/5906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
