A revival of love has begun! Will you receive it? Jesus was the man He was because of the Father He had. Who's YOUR Father?

What paradigms do you live from: Son or Orphan mindset? Being subject to the Father’s mission is to receive love and give it away. John 8:38 says, “But you are following the example of your father.” Does He focus more on truth or love? How about us? A revival of love has begun! Will you receive it?

God created male and female to properly represent Himself. If you oppress women, you miss half the revelation of God. In first century Israel, no people groups were more oppressed than women were. Yet Jesus gave women deep revelation on resurrection, worship, and truths, in Scripture.

It’s tough to recognize an answer before you’ve asked the question… Samuel answered Saul’s questions, which opened him up to declarations about his future. The way we respond to instruction opens up options. If you don’t have it in your heart before an opportunity, you won’t recognize opportunity.

Reconciliation is not about punishment. It's about God giving us understanding of Him. Sin is not breaking the law- that's the fruit of it. Reconciliation is more than legal law and punishment- it's about The Father wanting to know and be known! Your Father in heaven cannot bear for you to be stuck not knowing how He feels for you, so He sent His Son.

Did God kill His innocent Son, and then require Us to trust Him? The Father and Son are not Good Cop vs. Bad Cop- it's One God who is for us! The cross is not about The Father's rejection of Jesus, but ours. Although not all roads lead to Jesus, Jesus will travel down any road to interact with you. Be reconciled back to God because He has reconciled Himself back to you.

Will our devotion intensify when blessing increases? God demonstrates His confidence in His ability To bring us to fulfill our created purpose. Fear will redirect trust, value, and devotion. Fear effects worship. Courage and passion cause people to see truth. God's intent is to raise up a people who will increase their devotion to the Lord in blessing.

A Sacrifice of Worship is worshipping when you don't feel like it. King David said, "Far be it from me that I would offer God something that cost me nothing." If your life is not worship, why sing like it is? Let us not reduce worship to what we do when the music starts.

God's Spirit lives in our spirit, which ministers to our soul. God created pleasure, but pleasure outside God's purposes is always destructive. As a man thinks in his heart, so he becomes. Lord, please increase our appetite for Your word and strengthen our spirits!
