Agape Love IS what will bring forth full maturity and in turn will bring forth the solutions to the challenges before us. Such revelations will challenge your current understanding. Simply embrace them.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 1:
9 I continue to pray for your Love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of Spiritual insight in all things.
10 This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all—becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ. 11 And you will be filled completely with the fruits of righteousness that are found in Jesus, the Anointed One—bringing great praise and glory to God!
When Love, revelation, and insight overflow into our discernment, we will always be looking for what is excellent and pleasing in God’s Eyes. We choose what is best, not by law or rules, but by Loving discernment.
15 It’s true that there are some who preach Christ out of competition and controversy, for they are jealous over the way God has used me. Many others have purer motives—they preach with grace and love filling their hearts, 16 because they know I’ve been destined for the purpose of defending the revelation of God.
17 Those who preach Christ with ambition and competition are insincere—they just want to add to the hardships of my imprisonment. 18 Yet in spite of all of this I am overjoyed! For what does it matter as long as Christ is being preached? If they preach him with mixed motives or with genuine love, the message of Christ is still being preached. And I will continue to rejoice!
There is no competition in our writings versus that of others. Let us all present the Truth and revelation of FATHER’S Divine Intent for this is how I can defend the revelation of GOD. This was Paul’s purpose in his writings given to him directly by Jesus and The Holy Spirit. It is my purpose as well.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 3:
1 What has happened to you foolish Galatians? Who has put you under an evil spell? Did God not open your eyes to see the meaning of Jesus’ crucifixion? Was He not revealed to you as the Crucified One?
2 So answer me this: Did the Holy Spirit come to you as a reward for keeping Jewish laws? No, you received Him as a gift because you believed in the Messiah. 3 Your new life began when the Holy Spirit gave you a new birth. Why then would you so foolishly turn from living in the Spirit by trying to finish by your own works?
4 Have you endured so many trials and persecutions for nothing?
5 Let me ask you again: What does the lavish supply of the Holy Spirit in your life and the miracles of God’s tremendous power have to do with you keeping religious laws? The Holy Spirit is poured out upon us through the revelation and power of faith!
We must be careful to not revert to attempting to keep religious laws and traditions which are promoted by the flesh or soul. Paul makes it abundantly clear that our own soulish and/or fleshly works are of none effect. Living by The Holy Spirit in every aspect of our walk will insure our walk of faith and revelation. Jesus did not submit to commandments and statutes promoted by the Pharisees for the sake of keeping the law. He told them, “Man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man.” This was made clear in Matthew chapter 12:
1 One Saturday, on the day of rest, Jesus and His disciples were walking through a field of wheat. The disciples were hungry, so they plucked off some heads of grain and rubbed them in their hands to eat. 2 But when some of the Pharisees saw what was happening, they said to Him, “Look! Your disciples shouldn’t be harvesting grain on the Sabbath!”
3 Jesus responded, “Haven’t you ever read what King David and his men did when they were hungry? 4 They entered the House of God and ate the Sacred bread of God’s Presence, violating the law by eating bread that only the priests were allowed to eat.
5 “And haven’t you read in the Torah that the priests violated the rules of the Sabbath by carrying out their duties in the temple on a Saturday, and yet they are without blame? 6 But I say to you, there is One here who is even greater than the temple. 7 If only you could learn the meaning of the Words ‘I want compassion more than a sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t be condemning My innocent disciples. 8 For the Son of Man exercises his Lordship over the Sabbath.”
We must always remember that Jesus is greater than the Sabbath and greater than the Temple. We have him in our hearts, and the Sabbath can never take his place. Since the Holy of Holies is now living within us, there is no need for another temple. Jesus made three startling statements that stunned those who heard him. First He said that He was greater than the temple (v. 6), then that God didn’t want sacrifices but mercy (v. 7), and finally that He, the Messiah, was the Lord of the Sabbath. Don’t be surprised when Jesus shocks you with Truth that is outside your current understanding.
