Love & Faith Are Choices
The Lord says,
Love does. Love looks like something. Love is not just a feeling or a fleeting emotion that you can fall into and out of. Love is a choice. Love is an action. Love is a cold cup of water. Love is a hug for a stranger. Love is looking people in the eyes and seeing their pain, acknowledging their plight. Love is a posture, a lifestyle and a choice. I Am Love, and I have called you to be an active expression of My love to those around you. Love reaches out. Love does not stay within. It reaches out. It grabs a hand. It lifts another up. It shares a smile. It spreads hope. This is what walking in love and being love looks like. Love is not just words. Love is backed up by action. Perfect love casts out all fear, because the need to act, to express, to do the work of love is greater than the fear that holds you back. I Am perfect love. If I Am living and active in you, your lifestyle of love should be evident. Walk in love. Reach out in love. Be and show My love to those who cross your path.
20 The Lord alone is our radiant hope
Psalm 33:20-22
and we trust in him with all our hearts.
His wraparound presence will strengthen us.
21 As we trust, we rejoice with an uncontained joy
flowing from Yahweh!
22 Let your love and steadfast kindness overshadow us continually,
for we trust and we wait upon you!
Choose faith. Faith is a choice. Faith is not a feeling. Faith is the choice to believe that I Am greater, that I will deliver, that I Am able, and that I will do what I said I will do, that I will come through for you, that I Am Overcomer, and I have indeed overcome the world including all that is facing you today. Faith is a choice and a gift. Press into Me and choose faith.
The opposite of love is fear. The opposite of faith is doubt.
You can see how fear and doubt lead to stress, anxiety, pain, uncertainty and cause bad decision making. Love and faith breed life and light. If they stumble, it is not unto death. They have the power to conquer and to overcome the darkness that tries to surround you.
Choose love. Choose faith. You can only choose these if you first choose Me.
10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in me and that I am living in the Father? Even my words are not my own but come from my Father, for he lives in me and performs his miracles of power through me.11 Believe that I live as one with my Father and that my Father lives as one with me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.
John 14:10-11
Healing Impossible Cases
The Lord says,
I Am healing the broken. I Am healing broken minds and hearts. I Am healing people from years of bitterness and brokenness. I Am piecing broken families back together. I Am doing the impossible. I Am working on the impossible cases. I Am moving in a mighty way, and the lives that I Am touching will never be the same. I Am drawing many to myself now, and it is for life, for change, for a future, for a hope, for full and utter transformation.
This is a mark of My glory. This is a mark of My Presence — mighty miracles of transformation in some of the most impossible cases imaginable. I Am the God of the impossible and I Am moving and making myself known. I Am transforming lives and breaking many chains. This is a time that will give forth to great wildfires of passion burning for Me. The gratitude, the thanksgiving, the transformation and the freedom will cause them to burn with a fiery passion such as this generation has never seen. Watch what I Am doing among you. Look for it. It is happening now.
How to Respond
- Ask the Lord to show you how you can reach out in love to those who cross your path.
- Spend time studying the character of Jesus. As you deepen your understanding and belief of Him as absolutely good and absolutely for you, faith will take root.
- Declare that God is at work in the impossible cases in your family.
- Declare that the Lord is bringing healing and transformation to a hurting world.
- Bring the names of those impossible cases in your circle before the Lord. Remind Him that He is able and His will is that none should perish, but all should have everlasting life. Remind Him that He came so that we could have life – and have it abundantly.
