Love is not a day. Love is a Lifestyle.

Love is not a day, it’s a lifestyle. 

We’re called to love just as God loves us. We’re meant to love all even the ones who hate us and slander our name. We’re meant to even love our enemies. We’re meant to lift their name up to the Lord and pray for them. We pray for God to reveal himself unto them so they can receive salvation, deliverance, healing, and everything they need. No we don’t have to keep toxic people in our life. No we don’t have to be friends with our enemies or take disrespect from anyone, but we do love them from afar and pray. We forgive and continue to forgive. Love is a lifestyle because Jesus, when he was here as flesh, always showed love. He showed love to the man Peter who denied him. He showed love to Judas the man who betrayed him with a kiss. He loved all his 12 disciples who were no where to be seen except for beloved John and Mary when he was being crucified. They all abandoned him but he walked with them. Jesus lived a lifestyle of love. Jesus was the ultimate gift of love from God because he died on the cross for us in the forgiveness of our sins. Because Jesus was God’s one and only son who God loved, adored, and cherished. He sent Jesus down from heaven for us because that’s how much he truly loves us. So yes, love is a lifestyle and not just only on Valentine’s Day. Love isn’t easy but it’s crucial. It’s a choice we decide to make everyday no matter how hard it may be. So love your people even the ones who don’t love you, because God honors the character of loving.   


1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

Bushel

As I was driving in my car, a truck went in front of me. I saw on the back of the truck written really big the word "Bushel." Immediately I understood God was speaking. When I came to a stop I grabed my phone, and opened my bible app. I looked up "bushel" so I could find the different scriptures. God led me into the new testament of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. God has called us to be a light of the world. In Mark 4:21 it says, Also he said to them, "Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket (bushel) or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?  We were never meant to be hidden under a bushel or a bucket for no one to see. No, we were made to lighten the world with our gifts, talents, and spreading the word of God; the good news. Being a believer and follower of Christ can have a beautiful impact on people. There are too many people in the world who have never felt God's peace, love, or comfort. They have never seen his signs, wonders, and miracles. The...

Jehovah-Jireh

As I was listening to praise and worship I felt led to pray. I was praying to God asking him to help me. I don't want to waste another year of my life. I asked God to help me to move forward, thrive, succeed, and have a better financial situation. I told God, "I surrender." I wanted to surrender to the self sabotage, surrender to the lies of the enemy, and surrender to everything that is not of him. As I began to lay my worries at the feet of Jesus and surrender, I felt his Spirit come over me and I began to cry. I had my eyes closed, then God showed me a scripture that I could see in my mind. I was able to see it through the spiritual realm. The scripture he showed me was Luke 12:28. I quickly grabbed my physical bible I had right in front of me and I opened it. The moment I opened it, the pages automatically opened to Luke. The pages opening where I already needed to be made my spirit leap. I knew and felt in my Spirit God was moving, he was about to speak to me. I turn...

Open Your Mouth & Rebuke

     It is important to not only read the scriptures of God's word, but to be USING the scriptures in our every day lives. We should be opening our mouths and speaking the word of God. It's crucial to use scriptures as our weapon because the bible says we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against pricipalities, against powers, against the rulers of this world. (Ephesians 6:12). Well the ruler of this carnal world is the Devil. Unfortunately the devil only comes to kill, steal, and destroy, so our weapon against him IS the word of God. See, the bible also says, RESIST the devil and he will flee from you. With prayer and using scriptures we are able to fight off the enemy and he has no choice but to give up and flee. The devil realizes he he needs to try and find another way to come against us, because whatever he was doing before couldnt work. Why? It is because we used our weaopons against him and he has NO power over the word of God. There are times where I disc...
