A prophetic word: Love moves…….
Because God loved, he did. Because God loved the World, he sent Jesus. Love produces actions, love produces mission, love produces miracles. ‘I am willing’ said Jesus filled with compassion, and He stretched out his hand to heal.
If we’re close to the heart of Jesus, we will say, “Here I am. Send me,” as He did. If we have the love of God within us, we will send, and we will go, as Christ’s love ‘compels us.’ If we love enough we will be filled with compassion so that we MUST stretch out our hands to heal the sick or our hearts are broken.
Could it be the church does not do because it does not really care? Because it does not really love? Could it be that as well as the unbelief and lack of expectation blocking the miracles breaking forth in this generation, the other key factor for the lack of release of signs and wonders is the lack of love?
Christ warned that the end-time church would be ‘neither hot nor cold’. He warned there would be a lack of love and much sin on the earth. The church of this generation is not just lukewarm to Christ but lukewarm to its brothers and sisters and lukewarm to the dying world around it. May God forgive us and may God release us and give us true and not counterfeit love - love for our brothers and sisters, and for our world - true and not counterfeit fire that enflames our hearts, souls, minds and bodies for Jesus, compels us to love, and compels us to MOVE, compels us to DO - so that we become true ministers of flames of fire for the true gospel.
God make it so in the name of Jesus!
Hey, you are exactly right. Love is so important. Thanks!

A very good reminder to us all. Imagine the world, if we loved as Jesus did.
