Growing In God
Manage episode 434514464 series 2825460
Summary:
Our growth in God must be a very real experience for each of us. We must trust the Lord in each new level He brings us into and lean totally on His love for us. As we each reach in to express our unique calling and destiny in Him we supply what His Body needs, as we grow in our love for Him and for our fellow man.
Show Notes:
In this new level God is bringing us into, it’s all about our love for God and the brethren.
We must trust the Lord to bring us into this new level of love;it must be a personal experience for you with God.
As God deals with us to bring us into a new level, our Adamic nature always resists what He is doing even though it is for our good.
As we each move into God, we are all very unique and diverse in our giftings and callings, and are needed in the collective body.
We are all called to love Him and one another with His love.
In all of this, we change and are ushered into new levels by the Word of God that comes through our brother and sister.
Quotes:
Two things will prevail, the Word of God, and the love of the brethren.
It's about loving what He's created, loving each other without an agenda.
He has to be number one in our life. There could be no other God before us.
He has to work the trust, He has to work the faith, He has to work everything in us for us to walk with Him.
This has to be something that, that God makes so real to you that you can't deny it.
The Lord turns something loose. He opens a new realm, a new level for us. And from that point, God begins to deal with us, not just individually, but collectively, to bring us all into the same revelation of Himself.
There's something in our nature, Adam's nature, it always kicks against the things that God has turned loose for really our benefit.
We are so different, diverse, if you want to say, and each one of us have that very unique gift that God put within us. And how God is blessing you, and creating you according to that unique calling, is a very personal thing.
It's just to be a conduit, to be a channel of His presence and His love to one another. How do I love you? I love you with His love.
So many times, we'll just be going along, and the Lord will be speaking through different individuals. And all of a sudden, never heard that before, never realized that before. That was never a part of my life before. That's change.
