“LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL IF IT IS REAL LOVE!”
I heard the above statement on a movie that I watched, and it caused me to do some thinking:
Love is the opposite of hate! Both of these words will conquer you, your mind, will and emotions or soul:
They both will consume you and all you stand for: One will lift and bless you, the other will drag you down and defeat you:
You must also understand, that the word of God operates on love: Remember, it was love that drove Jesus to the cross: It was love that caused him to heal the sick: It was love that caused the lame to walk: It was love that healed the leper: It was love that healed the woman with the issue of blood: It was love that caused Jesus to set the demon possessed fellow free:
Pastor David Ingles wrote a song called; Love lets me give to the limit:
Verse 1 --- Without love, I’ve profited nothing --- Love is both patient and kind, Love is not jealous – love does not brag --- Love has no arrogant mind: Love does not act with a rudeness, --- nor insist on the way of its own, Love’s not provoked never harbors wrong, never gleeful when a wrong is done:
Verse 2 --- Love --- makes us pray without ceasing --- and pour out our lives for a friend, Love makes us reach out --- and touch hurting people, Fulfilling God’s dream for man: The love of God --- bears up under anything, and always glad when God’s truth prevails, Love keeps on loving when other things crumble --- I thank God that love --- never fails:
Chorus: Love let’s me give to the limit, --- Love isn’t love just in part; Love made me offer Jesus all my devotion, And crown Him King of my heart:
Now, back to what I was teaching: Hate is the total turn around from what Love is:
Hate tears down, tears apart, destroys and defeats, but much more than that: Hate will make you sick and destroy you to death eventually: As I said earlier, God is love!
Everywhere you look in the word of God, was a fact that everything Jesus did was because of love:
John 14: 21 --- He that loveth hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him:
Psalms 91:14 --- because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name:
Psalms 97: 10 --- He that loves the Lord, hates evil; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked:
Psalms 119: 165 --- Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them:
Did you see what that says? Love will keep you from being offended! Offense is the cause of hate or hurt: Offense will block the blessing of the Lord:
Proverbs 8:17 --- I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me:
Proverbs 8:21 --- That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and I will fill their treasures:
Hatred --- Proverbs 10: 12 --- Hatred stirreth up strife; but love covereth sin:
Read the first part of this again --- Hatred stirreth up strife!
Now, when you are in strife, God is not able to bless you: Well, what should I do? “ Forgive!” Forgiveness is where you start in order to heal unforgiveness and hate:
Proverbs 15: 17 --- Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith:
Proverbs 18:21 --- Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof:
Matthew 5: 44 --- But I say unto you, Love your enemies; bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you:
I think the above scripture says it all --- Read it again and again until it is deep inside of you:
If you walk this way, you will not fail in life:
REMEMBER: JESUS IS LORD!
