This past week we had Dean Sherman as a guest speaker. He spoke on Relationships and Spiritual Warfare. God revealed many things to me this week, especially in the relationships teachings. Luke 10:27 says: “Love the Lord your God with all you heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself.” This is our greatest commandment. This is what our religion is all about because this is what Jesus did. God has been working in my heart to love myself and others as well. It’s hard to always choose love, but we are commanded to do so. Another thing was that ALL love comes from God, and no one can show true love to anyone without loving God. We must choose to love God and love others even when the feeling is gone. Love is a choice, an action. It’s one of those things that I have to remind myself to do. I have to choose to love people when I’m happy, tired, frustrated, or hurt.
Like I said before, we also learned about spiritual warfare which was very interesting. I hadn’t realized that our authority over Satan in Jesus name was so great. I knew we had authority, but I didn’t realize that God doesn’t intervene in spiritual matters unless someone is willing to be used. He can, if He wants to, but He loves us enough to let us choose to be yielded to Him. God won’t force Himself upon us. We as humans must yield to God and allow Him to work through us.
There are so many things to process, but it is so good to learn all of these things. Love you and I will update you next week!
