Christlike love is given through the power of the Holy Spirit. An agape love that endures, follows God’s instruction, and brings His resounding love into this world’s Babylonian mess.
Christlike love serves a higher purpose, saving those from oppression, reconciling God’s people to Him, and demonstrating His heartfelt love. In putting the burning fires of hate, anger, greed, and selfishness out with the life giving water of the Holy Spirit, sent from heaven above. Leaving smoldering, purified ashes, rising in an aroma of sweet smelling smoke, of the Father’s divine reigning power and glory.
Christlike love is compelled to serve and shows no partiality. For the law of love is Jesus’ law and reality. In loving the Father and loving one’s neighbor, no matter of one’s status, language, or race. Christlike love sees what the Father sees and shares the Father’s heart, A heart filled with compassion, forgiveness, mercy and grace.
The Father says gather my children of the promise, Oh gather my children, from every nation and tribe from generation to generation. Oh sing God’s faithful ones rejoice ! rejoice! Set your eyes on above filled with the power of love, in all gentleness and faith, keeping your eyes on Jesus, our precious Savior and King, let your resounding voices sing, exalt the King. Rejoice! rejoice!
Let the doves fly and the spiritual rivers flow, from soul to soul. Heaven on earth, His Kingdom advancement, is the goal. Dance like David with your priestly garments on and make shouts of joy. Joyful shouting from every mountain top in every corner of His world. Understanding that Christlike love heals, comforts, brings deliverance, and strengthens through the power of Holy Spirit, infusing in the believer’s soul.
Father, I pray that many more of Your people from every nation and tribe, and those who will today and in the future, come in faith in Jesus, be filled with Your Christlike love by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Reading: Romans 13:8-10
“ Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
The world has had enough of their hideous escapades
Reading: John 8:12 (NIV)
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
God is our source of love faith and hope. He is a stream of water to all that pleases Him. The greatest gift of God’s people is his loving presence. Those who know him and dwell in His presence have wells of living water flowing from them. Giving life enriching water to those who drink from the streams of their river, the river that is stirred by Jesus hand and flows from their heart. Life giving water where one will never thirst again. The spiritual water of everlasting life the Father gives His children to journey through this land to be like Him and do what’s right. God’s river never runs dry He is the source of love, faith, and hope. He is a stream of water to all that pleases Him. Proverbs 21:1
Go swimming in the pool that gives life dive in, climb those steps.
And stand on the high board. Take a moment and look up to the Lord.
Jump three times then dive in. Try not to be too poised and swan dive.
Just dive in, it’s going to be a sensation, the splash of your life.
Come on! Come On! There are 3 Persons waiting for you.
Stop wasting time. There are others waiting in line.
Jump, Jump, Jump, your no chump, I am encouraging you to dive.
Swim in the sea of forgiveness, cleansed of your iniquity, dive in.
The water is refreshing and regenerating, all you need to do.
Is take a deep breath and dive in. Dive in the water of life.
After you have immersed yourself in His compassionate fervent love.
Bounce up, wipe the water from your eyes, and watch the ripple effect.
John the Baptist said, “I Baptize with water, the one coming,” and has come.
He will Baptize you with the Holy Spirit, the living water, come on, dive in.

Zechariah 14:8-9
And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter. And the Lord will be King over all the earth; in that day, the lord will be the only one and His name the only one.
Jesus repeats himself in John 10:7-16 (NKJV) to the Pharisees saying to them, “I am the door of the sheep. All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and would go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come, except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly (salvation, healing, nourishment, and plenty more). Jesus goes on to say, I am the Good Shepherd the good Shepherd gives his life for the sheep. But a hireling he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. However, Jesus says, “I am the Good Shepherd and I know my sheep and am known by my own. As the Father knows me even so, I know the Father and I lay down my life for the sheep. Jesus further explain that not just the sheep He has, but other sheep, He has which are not of this fold, them also, He says that He must bring, and they will hear His voice and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Jesus goes on to say, “My Father loves me because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. This command, I have received from my Father.” Beloveds, Jesus is deeply passionate, sincere, and straight forward of who He is as the Great Shepherd. The Shepherd and Doorkeeper who is fully devoted to those under His care. There is no greater love.
