(See Kimlyn, there are real Christians out here who refuse to judge you). Hope you are making progress in your life!

Dear hzchoice,

Thank you for your encouragement. We all need it, I need it.

It is so important that we as believers realize that God loves the sinner just as much as He loves the believer. So much that He died for them. There is no greater Love than that. We as believers should be growing into this same Love.

It feels really good to finally Love others. There was such an emptiness when I did not. That's right, just because one is born again does not automatically change the way they relate to others. That explains why so many Christians act so mean and hypocritical, worse than the world.

The Lord revealed to me through His Word and by His Spirit that my Love walk was very much lacking. Where it states that Jesus had compassion, the literal translation is that "His bowels yearned". We should continually be coming into this same place. Our bowels should be yearning to see the lost come to know Him, to see the captives set free!

What did I do to spark the developing of the Love in my heart? I began to confess out of my mouth the Love scriptures. It says in Romans 12:2... to not be conformed to this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our minds to His Word.

How do we renew our minds?.......By studying and speaking His Word out of our mouths. Doing this will cause us to have faith (faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God) and to be transformed into what His Word says about us. Something wonderful happens when we hear God's Word coming out of our own mouths.

To take it a step further: It is not only by His Word, but by His Spirit that we are changed. In Jude 20-21 it says.... that by praying in the Holy Ghost, (praying in tongues), we will build up our most holy faith and keep ourselves in the Love of God.

When I began to pray more in the Holy Ghost, I noticed almost immediately that my Love for others grew immensely. Other wonderful changes have also come about suddenly: my son turned from drugs, my husband is now stepping into his rightful place as spiritual head of the family, there is great peace and joy in my home, and many more! The Glory is here!

Thanks for allowing me to share.

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU KIMLYN. BE EXPECTING THE GLORY!

In Him,
Monica
