REEVALUATING LIFE PRIORITIES IN LIGHT OF GOD’S GLORY
Love of God is the currency that produces the glory of God, and the glory of God is the real value of life.
Individuals, families, tribes, and nations that fully experience the pure holy love of God can know the true value of life.
Nations, tribes, families, and individuals that do not experience the love of God cannot know the true value of life. They have no possibility to fully experience the manifest presence and the glory of God without first experiencing the love of God.
The first priority of life on earth is experiencing the love of God.
There is no real value to life without love and God is the only source of unconditional love.
There is no death in the love and glory of God, and there is no love or glory in death. Death is separation from God and His glory.
For those in love with God, there is no death but everlasting life, whether in this earthly body or in our eternal Spirit heavenly body.
ROMANTIC NATURAL LOVE
Natural romantic love and marriage is an earthly picture of the spiritual and eternal love of God.
Natural man without Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit cannot fully experience or understand the love of God.
The passionate deep romantic love of a man for his wife and the deep respect of a woman’s love for her husband are natural experiences given by God to help man to begin to understand the relationship between God and mankind.
The production of the family is, in part, producing children that multiply and fill the earth with God’s life and order. Taking care of the created world and all that is in it or on it is a primary responsibility of mankind. The prosperity of mankind and the world is the natural outworking or manifestation of the eternal heavenly Spirit realm.
God’s written word delivered into us by the Holy Spirit gives us a clear understanding of His love relationship with His created Bride in marriage both in the natural and eternal spiritual realms of life now and forever.
GOD’S LOVE ORDERS THE WORLD
All disorder in the world stems from the lack of man experiencing God’s love. All conflicts and wars in the world, every divorce, murder, or suicide is a direct result of a lack of the pure holy love of God.
Every evil in the world comes from the lack of man experiencing or receiving God and His love. The only cure for the evils of the world is mankind falling in love with God.
No amount of law or law enforcement can ever overcome the evil of this world. Only God’s love in the hearts of mankind by the Holy Spirit of God will bring righteousness, peace, and joy into this world.
MANKIND’S ALTERNATE FALSE GODS
In alignment with the fall of Adam, natural unredeemed man is separated from God. Without the experience of God’s love in his or her life, there remains a deep need within that longs to be filled. People are automatically tuned to search for God or a replacement god that will provide purpose, worthiness, and enjoyment to their lives.
Some of the popular false replacement gods of today are: money, entertainment, sports, career, food, drugs, alcohol, video games, sex, and gambling.
Religions are a big area for false gods. Across the world, multitudes of idols and false gods are worshipped through ceremonies, sacrifices, offerings, prayers, rituals, services, and other routines and practices.
Even learning about the one true God, but never experiencing a true love relationship with Him can become a substitute for the real experience of being in love with God. The Bible speaks of those who are always learning but never able to come to the truth. (2 Timothy 3:5-7).
THE MANIFEST LOVE AND GLORY OF GOD
We have entered the season of God’s manifest presence of LOVE and GLORY awakening in His chosen people. This is not the time to hold on to the ways of the past but to spring forward into the new season of God with us in power beyond our imagination.
This is the time to draw near to God and expect love to manifest into the glory of God destroying all that is not of God and bringing forth that which is of God on earth.
It is the kingdom of God from heaven coming to earth and nothing shall stand against it. Firestorms of glory and destruction will vaporize evil to ashes under your feet and establish the glorious kingdom of the love of God for all who will come to Christ Jesus the living Head of His Body on earth.
Many will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye. And receive beauty for ashes. (1 Corinthians 15: 51-53) (Isaiah 61:1-3).
SEEK GOD IN CHRIST JESUS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27.
Love never fails and,
His kingdom never ends.
