God's Love Emboldens Us

"No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us." 1 John 4:12

Since we now have perfect love through Christ, because the fullness of God now dwells within us, we now have boldness. We have boldness to stand in the Day of Judgment. We now have boldness to approach God’s Throne of Grace in time of need. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 Standing before God on the Day of Judgment will not be a new thing for us. Because we now walk with God, He is in us, and He is leading and guiding us to come to His Throne of Grace. When the Day of Judgment comes, God won’t all of a sudden leave us, so that we will have to go up there on our own. No, God will still be one with us, leading us right up there, with His perfect love within us casting out all fear. In the Day of Judgment we will be bold, we will be full of boldness in Him, knowing that no harm will come to us, and that there is no condemnation for us! We will know, with the Anointed Mind that God has given us, that we have abided in God here on the earth, and that we will abide in Him for eternity. We know the Truth that has set us free, we know that God will never leave us or forsake us, never! Through the power of Christ we will have boldness and confidence that through Him we have passed from wrath unto righteousness!

Now here is the great part, since we now abide in God’s love, we know beyond any shadow of a doubt that God now dwells within us, and that gives us boldness to serve God just as Jesus serves God. “For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:10-11 “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6 Look how God takes our service to the extreme limits of His power, He is God, and as He is, so are we in this world! Bam! Talk about being bold. I know I have preached on this already, but do you see what this means? As God is so are we in this world! God is love, He is lay down your life love. He is never leave us or forsake us love. Love is the key, love unlocks it all, and we are just like God in love. People preach that we need to love all of the time, but I have never heard it preached like this, that in God we can’t help but love! We are born of love and our love is just like God’s love, because our love is now God’s love. His love now abides within us, never leaving us or forsaking us! Through Christ we know the depth, the length, the height, and the width of God’s love! Faith comes from hearing this Truth that passes all knowledge and hearing comes from the Word of God. How shall they hear without a preacher? Man through the power of Christ we need to be used by God to preach this Truth, so that we can be set free and walk in the fullness and power of our Salvation!

Jesus I pray that You will use us and allow all of us to understand completely what God is telling us here. Jesus allow us to understand that we can’t help but love, because we are now one with God, Who is love! It’s who we are, and Father in Jesus’ Name allow the church to realize this and not be offended, that we should and can be love, just as You are Love, no difference, because it is You in us! No more fake reverence, we can and should be just like You Father. Allow us to honor and serve You Father by causing us to be just like You, in thought, action, and in deed. Allow us to be used by You to see as You see Father, think as You think, walk as You walk, serve as You serve, and be as You are, even when we are in this earth! Father I pray for boldness for Your church to accept all that You have provided for us through Jesus our Lord and Savior. Father Your will be done through us on this earth as Your will is done in Heaven, A-men!
