STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT

Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him…”

Another thing believers also try to do in their strength without success is love, loving the God way. You cannot love, the agape love except you approach it by faith. Paul in his prayer for the church revealed as much:

“...That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love…”

Notice what what came after being strengthened with might, it is that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith which leads to you being rooted and grounded in love. So faith is the platform upon which the love life is built. If you are having problem loving people therefore, take Scriptures about love and sow them in to your spirit in so doing faith to love will be birthed in your spirit man and you will be able to love. 

Another way to look at this love is not a feeling, I know you think it is, but love is not a feeling. It produces feeling but it is not. Faith also is not a feeling, faith also can produce feeling. The way therefore to love people you do not have feelings for, is by faith. The way to love people who seem to be unlovable is by faith. Confess love for them and you will find them lovable. This is the answer to people who “fall out of love” after being in love.

CONFESSION: I AM A LOVE CHILD OF A LOVE GOD. I AM LOVE. THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN MY HEART BY THE HOLY GHOST. I AM NOT MOVED BY WHAT I SEE OR HOW I FEEL, I AM MOVED BY THE LOVE OF GOD.
