A Revelation of Love
by Samuel Hari

1 John 3:22-23

Firstly, the WORD says that we BELIEVE on the name of His Son. We need a revelation of Jesus and all He has done for us.

Secondly, only through His strength, His grace, are we able to love one another.

This is the final great revelation that will usher in the mightiest revival.

What are the things that will change in your life as a result of that revelation? The absence of love is not hate, it is FEAR! 1 Jn 4:18.

Thirdly, notice that God does not suggest that we love one another but it is a commandment. It’s never a “take it” or “leave it” scenario. Why?

• Just when you try to love someone, Satan will try his best to discourage you.
• This commandment does not say that we are to love those who love us. Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb…that’s where the fruit is…Jackson Brown.
• We love BECAUSE we are committed to God’s word and the love of God has become a reality in our heart.
• When we fulfill this commandment, we fulfill all others.
  
  

WHAT TYPE OF LOVE? WHITE HOT LOVE!

Luke 3:16-17 This fire speaks about love/passion.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."

The Greek says “white hot” love for one another.

COMMITTED TO LOVE
We must learn to operate in God’s love so much so that it governs our thinking, our words and our actions. This comes through the renewing of our minds.

God is Love. When we bring love into a situation, we bring God. Love is a manifestation of God. Love is a person. It is like bringing another person into a situation when we love. That person is GOD ALMIGHTY! 1 John 4:16

CAN WE LOVE WITH THIS TYPE OF LOVE?
Rom 5:5; John 17:26
There is a huge reservoir of love in us. It was put there by the Holy Spirit the day we receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He will baptize us with Holy Spirit and with FIRE! Why aren’t we seeing it yet? Because some of us don’t know it’s there and some of us don’t have a revelation of that love.

Begin to draw out this love; choose to walk in love, by looking at Jesus, especially when it’s impossible. When we walk in this love, covenant blessings begin to flow. Abraham had a revelation of love and he activated God’s covenant blessings over His life and the generations to come. We are under the same covenant today!
