As He Is, So Are We in This World!
In last month’s letter, we talked about the spiritual force of forgiveness. According to Jesus, the power that removes sin and the power that heals are the same.

What does it mean to lay down my life for others?
The Bible says in John 15:13, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Jesus was telling His disciples to give up the things they wanted to do and to give of themselves to others. He said that there is no greater love than this. We can give of ourselves with prayer. We can give of ourselves with time. We can give of ourselves with love and understanding.
When is it appropriate to end a friendship?
You should let the Spirit guide you when you begin a friendship as well as when you end it.
The basis for a close friendship should always be common faith and beliefs. A friendship will thrive when both parties are on the same life path.
When the path begins to go in different directions regarding things of faith, it may be time to seek close friendship with others. Again, this is a matter between you and the Spirit inside you. Seek His guidance.

How do you love an unlovable person?
You can’t change unlovable people. You can’t even “deal with” them. But you can develop your love until you can love them just the way they are.
Loving people—no matter how badly they act, no matter how rotten their attitude—is something you can do. And you do it by faith. You do it in the same way that you grow anything that comes by faith: You plant the seeds, water them and let God give the increase of love.
Is there a connection between faith and love?
Have you ever wondered what faith and love have to do with one another? Galatians 5:6 says, “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.”
Faith works by love. It is energized by love. Faith is put into motion by love. Why is that? Well, most of us are probably familiar with the Apostle Paul’s teaching on love in 1 Corinthians 13. But as we read verses 1-3 in The Amplified Bible, I want us to focus on the faith-love connection.

What is God's plan for intimacy in marriage?
Marriage and the intimacy that goes along with marriage is a blessing to husbands and wives, a gift from God Himself. Yes, God made sex for procreation, but He also created it as a physical pleasure to be enjoyed as part of His plan for the marriage covenant. Sex with your spouse is something you can not only enjoy today, but something that you can look forward to becoming better and better over time as you grow closer to each other.
Is it OK to remarry?
We are often asked if a Christian can seek a divorce and if a divorced Christian can remarry. The truth about these matters is that there are no generic answers to these questions. In other words, we cannot say it is always right or always wrong for a Christian to seek a divorce, or for a divorced Christian to remarry.
How do I date as a Christian?
The purpose of dating for a Christian should be to find a life partner to marry. It should by no means be taken lightly or casually.
As such, it is important to approach dating prayerfully and with wisdom. With such an important life decision before you, seeking counsel from strong Christians—including parents, friends and pastors—will enable you to make that decision with confidence.

Kenneth Copeland
Words of Life Church, North Miami Beach
These are times for the Body of Christ to succeed in everything they have ever dreamed of before. Walk by faith, walk in love and kindness. Hear the Father. See Him. Be part of the coming changes!
How can I have strong friendships?
Not only can you have meaningful friendships, but God desires them for you. He is interested in every aspect of your life. He desires the very best for you. Your heavenly Father sent His best—Jesus—to the cross on your behalf so that you might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Your Lord and Saviour is the friend that sticks closer than a brother—One who has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.
