The Love of God

The love of God is sure, and important in these dark times. In the Brit Chadashah we are told that the love of many will wax cold in the last days because iniquity will abound. If we believe in him we must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, and still remain living wells of his love. I myself need to work on this, asking him to fill me with his love. We can take a look at some passages in the bible on God's love and reflect on the importance of his love in our lives in these dark days. Yeshua said that if you love me keep my commandments - a very clear directive for anyone who means to follow. 

Here are a few of many, many verses of scripture talking about his love.

Ephesians 3: 16-19


I pray that from the treasures of his glory he will empower you with inner strength by his Spirit, so that the Messiah may live in your hearts through trusting. Also I pray that you will be rooted and founded in love, so that you, with God's people, will be given strength to grasp the breadth, length, height and depth of the Messiah's love, yes, to know it, even though it is beyond all knowing, so that you will be filled with all the fullness of God.

In Perils - A call to Intercession

So I can share that Jesus Christ has given my a heart for prayer. I have been able to see the spiritual ether of darkness when I go to places and to cities. I feel and discern spirits, and often wrestle against spiritual darkness in my daily life. This is not something easy to convey to other people, what this is actually like. I'll often pray based on what I see with spiritual eyes. It's real and what God says about it is true. But there is prayer and then there is intercession.

Ephesians 6:11-12 states,
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against power, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places.
