The Love of God

LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS

Our Text today is:

Jude 21 –– “Keep yourself in the love of God”. 

Keep yourself in the conscious enjoyment of God’s 

love for you.

This scripture gives instruction to believers at the end

times. That’s why John can write his epistle for us today.  

Not many knows that God love all of us? But not all of us 

could enjoy that love or aware of that love for us.  Our 

growth in God are growth in that love, we don’t grow in 

getting God love us more but in understanding how much 

God love us – we grow up and rooted and grounded in 

His love.  The more you experience His love the more you 

will grow as a Christian.

God wants you to wake up to eat, enjoy and to breathe his 

love daily.  He says, “I love you with an everlasting love”.   

God says, “My love for you is very real and personal and 

you will be intoxicated with my love.”

God loves you because He loves you, because He loves you (10 times).  His love for you is perfect 100%.  He loves you all the way all the time.  God never stops loving you. 

The day you are born and gone his love for you is 100%.  Nothing you can do to stop Him from loving you.  He would not love you better when you become better.

Sometimes we thought we need to please God in order to get His blessings. But God is far bigger than your ability to please Him because He loves you for who you are first.

Your No. 1 job is to be loved by God outrageously.  God will give you the ability to receive His love daily by His Grace.

David says, “your loving kindness is better than life,”   

Song of Solomon says, “your love to me is better than wine.” 

It is an intoxicated love.

God wants you to wake up every morning to breathe and to enjoy his love daily.  Let us be Love conscious rather than fear conscious.  In fact perfect love cast out all fear in us. Let love comes in and all fear will be replaced by it.

But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest 

of these is love. (I Corinthians 13:13) You find out that the love 

of God is the cure for the insecure person. It’s a cure for the hurts 

and broken-hearted person.

It consoles and soothes the mind, souls and spirit of a person. 

THE FULLNESS OF HIS GRACE

John 1:16 

New International Version says, “From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.” 

New Living Translation says, “From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.”

Our English Standard Version says, “And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” International Standard Version says, “We have all received one gracious gift after another from his abundance”

Indeed grace multiplies our blessings and God blessings will overtake us.  There are so much grace and more and more grace that are coming towards us each day as we become Grace Conscious.  God wants to bless us with the fullness of His grace (grace upon grace).  His precious grace will consumes us.  God is pleased to have all His fullness dwells in us until we reach to the maturity and perfection in His sight.

If we are weak then HIS GRACE will make us strong again.  He will exchange fear for boldness and anxiety for peace.  The Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking or has to do with the external world but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.  The Kingdom of God is within us and as we seek Kingdom righteousness then Kingdom peace and joy will GROW inside us.  We will enjoy more peace, joy and righteousness (right to rule and reign or authority) in the inner lives.  From our inner man it flows out peace and joy. 

Jesus manifested this Kingdom Peace.  He was sleeping in a boat with the disciples who were afraid when the storm shocked them.  The bible says they were fearful and awoke Jesus.  Jesus stood up and out of His INNER BEING shouted out “PEACE BE STILL”.  The words came out of His mouth and from His inner man.  That is the word of faith.  The power of the Holy Spirit in the inner man controls the outside world.  God in the beginning says, “Let there be light, and there was light.”  God’s Words that created the whole universe and holds them together.

2 Corinthians 4:16 -  New  International Version says, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 

The Amplified Bible says this,

“Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day.”

We are stronger and stronger each day in His divine grace and power.  This year 2013 will never be the same – our lives and ministry are growing stronger and greater.  Greater things shall you do in My Name!

Greater Revelation, Greater Grace, Greater Blessings, Greater Power, Joy, Peace are coming to the righteous man.

In Psalms 5:12 says, “Because you will bless the righteous ones, Lord Jehovah; like an acceptable shield you will cover me.”  In GOD'S WORD® Translation, “You bless righteous people, O LORD. Like a large shield, you surround them with your favor.”  His Grace is like a large shield and we are surrounded with favor not with fear and worry.   Let His gracious Words dwell in our spirit today!  May the Lord bless you this season abundantly!

EVERYDAY GRACE TO LIVE

By Paul white

Today is a bonus day on our calendars, added every four years as a corrective measure, because the earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days. Mankind learned this through reading and tracking the stars and the speed of the earth’s revolution around the sun. Thus, today is a man-made application to allow one day to correct 365 other days.

God had a correction plan of His own. At Calvary, the Son of God became the sacrifice for the human race, placing the sins of mankind into His body and taking the brunt of God’s anger against sin. The cross marked the justice system of heaven, and allowed the grace of God to flow freely into the world, uninhibited by a sin debt, for that debt had been paid. Now, due to the cross and the resurrection, we are able to tap into the favor of heaven by placing our faith in the finished work of Christ’s cross, and this gives us access to God’s grace in several ways.

My background in religion taught that God’s grace was available to everyone through salvation. After that, I knew very little about the grace of God. We believed that grace saved you, but then you had better go to work to “stay saved.” I call this form of grace, GRACE TO GET SAVED. Ephesians 2:8 bears this out by saying, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”

There is another school of thought regarding grace that teaches that not only is there grace to get saved, but that no matter what happens after that, there is also GRACE TO STAY SAVED. I used to preach against this idea (remember, my religious paradigm only had room for one kind of grace!), but have since come to realize that if this type of grace was not available, then my salvation would have no eternal assurance, for my actions would interfere. Paul said of our salvation and our Jesus: “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)

Much of the church world falls in line with one of the above mentioned versions of grace, and many would agree with both. However, there are millions of believers that would then say, “I’m missing something regarding God’s grace.” I know, because many have said that to me. What are we missing?

I believe the answer to what we lack is an understanding of what I term GRACE TO LIVE or EVERYDAY GRACE. This is the kind of grace that teaches you how to live, guiding you into paths of righteousness, free from the influence of the law (Titus 2:11, 12). This is grace that causes you to grow in your relationship with the Lord, and in your knowledge of who He is (2 Peter 1:2). This is also the grace that motivates our service and our stewardship. It doesn’t drive; it leads. This grace permeates us and causes us to drop the hammer of judgment, and throw wide the doors of acceptance, laying a garment of “manifold grace” over the shoulders of the world (1 Peter 4:10).
You have an extra day; use it wisely. Revel in God’s love for you and recognize the grace He has provided to live this day to its fullest. Anything less than resting in God’s marvelous grace is an insult to the finished work. Let’s use everyday grace to live!
