YOU CAN ABIDE AND LIVE IN THE
VERY PRESENCE OF GOD ALMIGHTY by Sam Sweg
| 'And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the
first commandment. |
|
(Mark 12:30) |
God is love! His power and the very
atmosphere of His presence is His divine love. All of Heaven was created
through His divine love. Everything about God Almighty and the Lord Jesus
Christ is one-hundred percent divine love! 1 John 4:16 states, "And we
have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who
abides in love abides in God, and God in him." When you abide and live in
His love, you are then in His very presence and power! You can always
recognize if a person really knows who God Almighty really is, by what they say
about Him. In Luke 6:45 Jesus teaches, "A good man out of the good
treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaks." When people speak of His abundant divine love you
know they have been in His presence and know Him.
If a person truly went to Heaven they would tell you that the divine love of God
is the very atmosphere and presence of Heaven. Once you have truly tasted
His love it then becomes a life long hunger to be in His presence. The
psalmist writes, "You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is
fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11).
When you spend time in prayer and fellowship with God Almighty and the Lord
Jesus Christ, the more you will know His divine love and desires for your life
| . . . to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may
be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do
exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the
power that works in us. |
|
(Ephesians 3:19-20) |
| Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My
word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our
home with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the
word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. |
|
(John 14:23-24) |
| As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have
kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. |
|
(John 15:9-10) |
| There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because
fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. |
|
(1 John 4:18) |
