exactly...look at the definition I offered up...the goal is reconciliation/restoration...this is first to God and second to everyone else. By you talk about obedience to God and their seeing God in you, you are testifying to the Love that scripture tells us to have for God and one another as...

John 14:15.... btw, what is your goal with your neighbor when you give to them. I know you said it was out of obedience but what do you want your neighbor to take from it?

From what you say here you are applying the worldly definition to love when God says the Love we are to have is Agape. I Cor. 13 lists characteristics of Love but let me offer you the only definition I can find to Agape Love....Love is putting another above self in an act of humility, creating...

I wanted to put this on watched as I pray if this is the direction God would like me to go.

maybe, I don't know

yeah they had the song in the back to the future series if I remember right.

In that the source of Love is God....yes, absolutely

amen to that!

Amen...in fact, I think we could say in light of Romans 12:3 that faith is one of the powers of the Kingdom that we can and should live in right now. A power that opens the door to more and more powers being revealed in us. In the study I am looking not only at the powers but at how we can tap...

One of the things that I keep coming back to when I study the power of the Kingdom and Love in general is that God leaves us without excuse. Not just when it comes to salvation but when it comes to anything and everything that He asks us to do. IOW's one of the powers of the Kingdom is to...

amen

My husband and I have said for many years now that one must be called by God not by the church and that when we allow Him to call He will equip and there will not be failure. Of course we are also those that have said for many years that scripture tells us to make disciples and we forget that...

yep...heard a few of them myself...

The key according to James is the fervent prayer of a Righteous man....not the faith that we hear all too often preached.

thanks everyone...it appears and others that are often sceptical have also said that they think Satan is really attacking me at the moment. Your encouraging words from scripture are very helpful. Thanks

When you can't win no matter what you say or do, what scriptures encourage you?

I didn't think I was questioning that, just saying that we should not assume that everyone who heals or even claims healing power should be trusted to be one of the godly self controlled lives we like to think they are, for in that we deceive ourselves. This is why we are told to test the...

I will add this to my previous comments, according to James 5:14-16 if we expect to see answers to our prayers we better be living in the righteousness of Christ through the power He gives us to do so. Another truth of scripture we seldom see taught.

that may be how many view it, but Matthew 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect....doesn't see it that way and neither should we. Not to mention Rev. where it will appear that the antichrist is raised...

I am putting the finishing touches on a study I am doing on the Power of Love (Biblical) or God's Love or the Kingdom any way you want to label it. What struck me is that so many people seek out the powers that Christ had in His ministry, powers like healing the flesh and such but fail to seek...
