Overwhelming Love

 

OVERWHELMING LOVE

A godly husband can have “love attacks” towards his wife. Husbands may have a difficult time expressing these heartfelt experiences and overwhelm both him and his wife. This is called “agape” love. Agape love is not a worldly fleshly love, but is holy and comes from God. Agape love is the spiritual manifestation of His Son’s sacrificial offering of love for His church [those that believe in Him]. This union is sealed by His Holy Spirit within us and we become one in Christ. The Covenant of Love. Agape love grows and is expressed between a husband and wife [and also among the believers] throughout the years as their holy bond is strengthened by Gods Spirit. When the husband manifests a sacrificial love towards his wife, the presence of Jesus Christ becomes overwhelmed within their union. Agape love strengthens their relationship and produces more love.

Is this a beacon on earth of how strong our Father loves His children? I believe this is true. 

Agape love!

This is powerful! This is unshakeable! This is never-ending! 

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39 niv. 

The relationship between a husband and wife is compared to the relationship between the Bride of Christ and The Son of God. 

“To this John replied, “ A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I  said, I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of him. The Bride belongs to the Bridegroom.  The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegrooms voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:27-30 niv. 

The Bride belongs to the Bridegroom.

The Believers belong to Jesus Christ.

The Church [not a building] belong to the Lamb of God.

The Sheep [who know His voice] belong to the Shepherd.

The Children of God belong to The Author of our Salvation.

The lists and titles are endless just like all of the many mysteries of blessings given in abundance to those who believe. 

Unless God’s creation be consumed with this overwhelming love, how can they be producers of such love? Unless we accept His love within our hearts, where would we receive our strength? For the very power of the weapons of our warfare was begotten at the cross through His love. The power of His Holy Spirit was given to us for these reasons, all birthed through His love.

We believe through faith.  

This faith is not a dishwater faith that we discard after cleaning up the kitchen! Our faith comes with a holy fire that purifies every single thought, every word, every step and every decision in our lives led by His Holy Spirit. 

The Bride belongs to the Bridegroom! We are HIS!

A man of the sea will tell you about the 3 strand cord of a rope that is bound and strengthened by that 3rd cord. I consider the 3rd cord to be The Holy Spirit within the marriage. For it is His agape love who ties the knot and seals us as His. 

Wherever you are in your beliefs or walk. Pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son and was sacrificed upon the cross for my sins. I realize I have sinned and ask that You would forgive me for all these sins against You and mankind. I come by faith to receive Your deep overwhelming love and ask You to change my life inside and outside. Mold me into that new person in Christ that will strengthen my marriage and life. Teach me how to do this Father. Teach me to hear Your Son’s voice. In Jesus name, amen. 

If you have humbly prayed this prayer, the Bible says you have been born again. Purchase a Bible and begin to study and become connected with other believers that will pray with you. You will draw hope, strength and learn from them. Welcome into the family of God! 

 

My Thoughts

I listen to the news. Not because I like to hear bad news, but I like to glean some kind of a crumb of hope from something I have prayed for and it does come!  I listen to The War Room on America’s voice, Greg Kelly and Stinchfield on Newsmax. The best ones are on The Victory Station, with Victory News and Flashpoint. Though they tell you the truth and horror of what is happening the narrator gently reminds you not to allow the fear to enter into you. I always agree. Did not Jesus keep saying, “Do not fear?” 

I get frustrated when I hear a well intended gov say: “We all need to work together so we can return our land back to where it should be.”  She was talking about the Dems and the Reps working together.  I hear this all of the time. Let me tell you all something. No one can reason with an evil regime. They have an agenda to rob, steal and destroy. In fact, I just read how they cannot go to sleep unless they can think of another way to destroy that which is good. [Proverbs 4:16] It is that serious.

Ah, there is an impeachment against the man who says he is President.  It is a beginning. But getting all the greasy grime out of Capitol Hill and its toxic branches will be something like cleaning your stove from the baked spillovers. This takes plenty of time and elbow grease. Yes, I know, if I cleaned the oven every time I used it, it wouldn’t be in such a bad shape today!. But neither would our nation! As I was scrubbing today, I couldn’t help but see the similarity. When a group of people live to destroy what is good, they need to be scrubbed out!

I’m going to be listening to the frogs and crickets tonight, it’s supposed to get down to 62 and this is why I am always happy to see September!
