Understanding the Faith that Works (3)
James 2:18-22
Isaiah 60:1-3/8/15_22 -- great things happen by encounter with light and walking in the same. Its great things that humble unbeliever. 100 says of fasting will not be equal to one striking light from heaven.
Isaiah 11:9 Jeremiah 31:34 -- these days are the days of outbreak of light. They are days of walking majestically in the light.
The faith that work is love driven faith

Mark 10:27/9:23 -- faith empower believer to live above all impossibility. Faith is the answer to human impossibilities. But faith will only delivers to the level of our love for God Galatians 5:6 -- our love for God is what determines the limit that our faith can deliver. Our love for God is the catalyst of our faith. All high fliers in the kingdom are true lovers of God 1 Corinthians 2:9
Luke 18:8 Matthew 24:12 --- two things shall come under heavy attacks in this end time ; faith and love. When love wax cold, faith becomes impotent. We have a task to jealously guard our heart for God John 15:15 -- love is the cord of friendship. If you don't believe, you cant have His hand Isaiah 53:1/ 2 Corinthians 13:5 1 John 5:4
What is love for God?
1. The most valid proof of our love for God is delightsome obedience of the believer John 14:21 Luke 6:46 James 1:22 Deuteronomy 28:1 -- if your obedience is intact, your faith will everly deliver. 2 Corinthians 8:8 -- there is a doing that authenticate the sincerity of our love. To be full of lobe is to be filled with all the fullness of God which make the believer an impossible case for the devil --- Ephesians 3:17-19 -- love is a growing virtue, its not a state. As we continue to grow in our love, we are filled with the divine nature content of God. That is what makes the realm of real love for God, the realm of no limit.
You command the supernatural at will when you are full of love
Love driven faith never fails because love never fails 2 Corinthians 13:8. Love driven faith never return defeated from battle.
Example of love driven faith
1. What drove David to Goliath is not any rewards or returns from the King. A man with a heart for God will always return triumphant from battle 1 Samuel 17:32-51. Whatever stands between you and your love for God is a strategy of the enemy to keep you defeated. Your love for God is absolutely for your own benefits. Not to the benefits of the church or the one who brought you to #christ
2. 3 Hebrew boy Song of Solomon 8:6 Daniel 3:17/28-29 --- their love for God caused their faith to come alive. All provision of the kingdom delivers on the love for God 1 Corinthians 12:31
3. Paul the Apostle - A man with an unchecked heart for God Romans 8:35-37 2 Corinthians 11:25-28 Acts 14:11/19-21/28:5 Philippians 1:23 Philimon 1:9 2 Timothy 4:7-8 -- the adventure of faith is an adventure in love Romans 8:28 -- lovers of God don't beg.
Because love never fail, the faith of a true lover never fails. Love God as your God through a raw commitment to a delightsome obedience John 21:15-17. Where your heart is where your treasure is Matthew 6:21
