Embracing God in Every Step

Would you believe me if I told you the word "Love" appears in the bible over 500 times? There's over 111 bible verses about love. Why is this topic mentioned so much? Could it be because it is a very important topic? John 3:16 "For God so Loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life". I think 1 John 4:8 answers that, God IS Love.

When we show Love to one another, we are showing the true nature of God. This may seem like an easy concept until you experience that "Sunday driver" in the middle of rush hour traffic. Are we patient kind and loving then? Or are we saying unkind remarks and yelling possibly? Thank God the only one who is perfect is Him. I have failed in this area many times. But I learn from my faults, and I strive to be better. To grow and be a reflection of the Lord. 

I think many of the issues we are seeing around the world is, yes a lack of Jesus, but a lack of love. A lack of intact families. A lack of kindness and love for one another. I see too much hate and violence. We need the warriors of God to awaken. We are transitioning to a place of offense from defense. The days of defending ourselves is over. We cannot defend ourselves from this violence with simply remaining quiet. 

I can't help but ponder over Ezekiel 7:25 "When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none." This by no means indicates violence. Quite the opposite. Out of a place of Love, we need to watch each other's backs, continue to speak truth, avoid violence and double down. We will not let the enemy have our children. Our children will be bought for. He has already claimed the Victory. We have to walk in it and continue to not waiver. 

Right now the news is filled with events derived from evil. A somewhat public battle is being fought before our eyes. Some may call it terrorism, some may call it political violence, but it is actually a spiritual balance between good and evil.  The faithful ones have been sleeping and are beginning to awake. The soldiers are arising from the dirt. The Lord is calling the few He trusts to come forth and retake the land. This is being done through those like Forest Frank, Charlie Kirk and President Trump. 

Forest Frank is using the world's sound and rhythm to worship the Lord. We are not of the world but we are here to be fisher of men and spread the love of God. He is being bold in his music. In his personal life, he publicly broke his back while filming. He had the video to share. He then was miraculously healed and Frank publicly gave Glory to God. He was used to show that miracles are still of this day.

Charlie Kirk is a hard and fresh topic. He was an amazing man who loved the Lord, his family and those around him. He was determined to indoctrinate the youth and give them the truth. He was respectful of the opposition and helped those around him. He was making a difference that was felt by the enemy to the point the enemy had to take him out. The kingdom is mourning this loss. A sweet brother in Christ lost too young. 

President Trump has been open with his faith and he was determined to bring God back to this nation. He is publicly showing his faith. 

The boldness these Godly people showed advanced the kingdom. They are changing those around them. They are being bold soldiers refusing to let the enemy have our children and young adults. Let's walk in love and faith knowing God will take care of it all. He will show us what to do, we just have to listen to His voice.
