We have an entire year ahead of us. We must stand fast in our liberty! We do that by walking in faith, which works by love, and not by sight, as we believe the written Word of God and His blood-backed, precious promises. Keeping and treasuring God’s precious promises will lead to a wonderful life of enjoyment and abundance—blessed going out and blessed coming in!
We are joint heirs with Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ! We have His mind, His blood-backed Word and His armor. We have even been given His faith—the title deed to the things we hope for. To take the high ground, we must put God’s Word first place, walk by faith and not by sight, and keep the command of Love—God’s Love that has been shed abroad in our hearts by His Holy Spirit who lives within us!
Since God is Love, He desires that we love one another—even the ones who persecute us and make life difficult for us. In other words, we are to make it a practice to love our enemies. When we walk in love, there is no fear, and our faith can then work, just as it did for Jairus who was believing that Jesus could raise his daughter from the dead.
Jesus says to us today, “Be not afraid, only believe, which works by and through love!”
God is Love. He has made you a new creature in Him—filled with His love and faith. He does not hold your trespasses against you, but you are to perfect holiness in the fear of God, remembering that the fruit of the spirit, which includes His Love, already dwells in you. Activate that Love daily by confessing 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (AMPC) and watch how God’s Love and holiness will flow from you!
At the 2024 Southwest Believers’ Convention, Kenneth Copeland shares how important cultivating a life of love and gratitude is. How do you do that? Look to God’s Word for everything you need. Use it continually as a checklist for your life and keep His Presence and promises before you daily.
Are you salt and light to the world? Light is the only force that overcomes darkness and you carry God’s light within you. Jesse Duplantis continues to teach about letting your light shine in this world and drawing others to it. Hear more of this message at the 2024 Southwest Believers’ Convention.
