The Power of Love - Part 2

Welcome to the intent that Catholic child family went over 20 social media and technology tempt us to be cure for that attitude is found in first Corinthians 13 learn to experience the power of love as the series liberated to love continues law will enable you to live a certain way there without what we came up that way we try to figure out what we can't know about what law empowers and enables almost to live a certain way when I think about it you have one.

Two choices of what you can walk around life full of anger or bitterness, resentment, hostility, and unforgiveness just messed up and frustrated in life and an unhappy in no please no joy in just making it through life getting up on Monday morning and like you I got a whole week to live, or you can get up with the love of God flowing in your life and blowing through your life. You know what happens. It is making incentive outreach. It does my gums what the weather is like nothing makes in the real difference because the source of your joy, your happiness and your love is flowing from within you. It has nothing to do with how people treat you on the outside and saw one. We think that we love.

In response to others. Love is just a response. Law is an action. Love is a choice that you and I may those of us who know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. We have tapped into that inexhaustible infinite resource of the love of Almighty God, which means that we have a capacity to love. Most people will never begin to understand the whole lifetime. So, notice what Paul begins how he begins in this fourth verse he says. First of all, love will enable you and me to wait. That's what this means when he says love is patient, that is love will empower us love will enable you and me to wait on God's timing to wait for God's purposes. Love enables us to wait then if you notice he says love enables us to be kind to express kindness. That means that you not have the capacity to be kind toward others, whether their condo was not and oftentimes will be criticized or abused falsely accuse whatever it might be what is our response to be one, humanly speaking, we will respond the way the world speaks literal response but love that is because I have God living on the inside of me. It doesn't make a difference.

What someone says to us about as it does to us. We have the response and we can respond in kind. Then he says love is not jealous that Islam will enable me to share.

You see, if I know how to have a friend I can share those friends with other people when I'm jealous only because I don't lose you or I don't want to share you with someone else, then that is a kind of jealousy. He says that you and who are his children who are clear with his love, have the capacity and the power to share without fear. And because that is sharing wisely in the wisdom of God in the confines of what he left. Then you'll notice he says we have the power.

Love enables us to have poor what is he saying he says we are not braggadocio and will not Eric. Love doesn't have to brag you know why because love has such a relationship with God.

When we loving him and loving others. We have a relationship with him. He satisfies us in negatives.

What about else thinks what they say what they to will full of the love of God, we are experiencing something we don't need anything on the outside to make us feel complete. So he says love is spoils it has the power and the potential to stand quietly on the inside no matter what's going on on the outside. It is an arrogant, it doesn't have to boast doesn't have to be number one. It doesn't have to be the center of attention. It does not have to do all the talking and if you notice he says it does not act unbecomingly or love is polite love has the power. Love enables us to be well mannered and to be polite and to be careful no matter what's going on around us and no matter who it is, is something we just be well mannered in public with to be well mannered and polite in private because with the sons and daughters of God, and he says by this all men shall love that you are my disciples, that you have love one to another. How does love love asked politely love acts in a manner that is well mannered. Then he says love this of this love does not seek its own, what is he saying love surrenders its rights. You know why because love never loses. You can't ever lose loving that he says if you notice he says that it is not provoked, that is love enables me to have a quiet spirit, no matter what. Now when you and I learned to love people can sell kind of things we can understand. Listen to and smile and say thank you very much sorry you don't understand is that how you feel, what you say or if they accuses you here you are Christian you this in you that just let it go by now we have to learn to love. We certainly do have the learned love, but we can respond in the proper fashion. We don't have to be as he says, easily provoked, and if were easily provoked and touchy. It's because we are wrapped up in ourselves pieces for those of us who understand the love of God, the experience that let them say what they want to say do what they want to do.

We have to defend ourselves, we can just love them and return no matter what. Then he says this love that we are speaking of here. He says it does not seek its own, it's not provoked, it does not take into account a wrong suffered this very care. Did you know that one of the primary problems in people's relationships is an unforgiving spirit. You know what Paul says in this passage when he speaks here does not take into account wrong suffered, is what he say that love enables me to forgive and empowers me to forgive no matter what. Think about this. An unforgiving spirit is the spirit of bondage and unforgiving spirit is the spirit of imprisonment because you cannot keep store without being imprisoned by what's on the school board and God does not intend for Zachary Lemaster question how many sins and he recommended that God has not forgiven you for the wall. Let me ask you this one right. You and I have this it is even fitting to you and me as believers, followers of Jesus Christ that we are such that we can't forgive someone for something that God has forgiven them for if a person is a believer that they live in the forgiveness of God that he'll bring about this event to remind them of what they've done and correct their conduct and their actions.

A sense of direction, but forgiveness is not choice on my part. Forgiveness is just a part of being a believer.

Forgive, the unbeliever has a real difficult time of this, but for the child of God.

We have God's love on the inside of us flowing through us, he enables us.

That's the power of love, probably 95% of the people who have problems in their relationships, if not more, have problems with an unforgiving spirit. They just can't forgive the Paul says love enables you in the it if you if you got a scoreboard love enables us to rinse it on what basis he says when he pardoned us. He pardoned us from all sin, past, present and future.

The crucifixion took care. He says it keeps no score of wrongs. No matter what it may be forgiveness is the only way godly people can live no matter what you have the capacity building your own self.

No there's somebody inside of you who is willing to let that love flow through you no matter what you see if you have an unforgiving spirit, your prisoner in this amazingly how people hate and I have animosity and bitterness and resentment and hostility in all these things going on in southern and they think that's legitimate. It may be legitimate from their perspective of what it's doing is poison. The whole system.

A person is living with an unforgiving spirit is a person living in poison and what's what's happening is that poison has absolutely saturate everything from their mind.

The top of their head. The bottom of their toes.

This poison is dripping on you know will happen when a person is like that. You have to be around number long before that they begin the port out and so he says love does not keep does not take into account wrong suffered, he says likewise.

Love doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.

We do hate evil and injustice. We're supposed to hate that kind of thing. The thing that sin does not hate the one who is committing the injustice, but hate the evil itself. For example, in spite of everything we see on the outside, the real truth is this every single person. God's ever created has within them the capacity to become something, but so often the way they grow up so often the way they're treated so often the what they learned what they have not learned what they've been exposed or were they not been exposed to all that is a part of this poisonous system that has caused them to be so corrupted in their morality so corrupted and their view of life.

They want to destroy someone else. But deep down inside of that there is somebody Lemaster question why is it that you and I have not committed these atrocious crimes because of the grace of God, the goodness of God, the love of God and by things we do not understand weeding draw up an account of the situation, somebody taught us better we learn to better we had parents or one parent or maybe didn't have any parents around us, but somehow we received and approved your level right influence. We will participate, but there people out there that's all they've ever known. This grant staff climb be sure of push get it, no matter what does that mean they don't have the capacity to love. It means that it's been so covered up for so long, it may appear that have no capacity but God created them with the same capacity that you and I have naturally we find the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, then we know how to love someone, but the most lovable person is worth saving.

No matter what reason I know that is because when he said God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him the most unlovable, despicable kind of person God loves every single person equally visited is all I know we save anybody.

Yes God does not have any kind of slates, scoreboards, he's keeping on anybody.

He just loves us and you know what he wants us to love the same way and he says it rejoices in the truth love wants to know the truth about itself. You see when you and I loving. We welcome truth about us as well as other people because we want to become the person's God wants us to be. Then he says love bears all things, what does that mean that word really means to cover things love the love of God within me empowers and enables me to hear bad things about people and keep to myself covers a multitude of sins is if you're the kind of person to get to the telephone as soon as you hear something bad that's not loving what he says love covers a multitude of sins. It means no matter what's bad in your life. I know I don't want to share that with the world. I want to help you deal with it. If I can't may not be of the name Akiva Melcher love covers a multitude of sins. If I love somebody remember what that means about love someone genuine love them. I'm looking out for their happiness, their security, and there will be that there will be may cause me to go to a person say this is not right and you need to correct this and I will help if I possibly can. Because you see I want you to become the godly person God wants you to be and I'm I willing to help you build those characteristics in your life that God wants it so that you can become the person you want to be but being openly critical, gossiping, caustic criticism, none of that has to do with love, but it also does need to be willing to bear someone else's burden move over to Galatians chapter 5 you recall this passage Paul is talking about people making mistakes and stumbling in their life in the earlier part. Then he says in the sixth chapter and he says in verse one brethren, even if a man or woman's: the trespass, you who are spiritual restore such one of the spirit of gentleness. Each one looking to yourself like you to be tempted.

Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ. Now is the law of Christ and what he said. He said all the law and the Prophets hang on this, thou shall love the Lord thy God with all my heart and soul string and our neighbor as yourself.

He says never to bear each other's burdens and when you and I willing to get up under somebody else's low, it may be an emotional load. It may be something in their finances and the job is negatives one. He says love is reaching beyond itself willing to bear to help to cover up necessary willing to protect willing to get up under that load and share that love with someone else. Then he says it bears all things, it believes all things, does that mean that love that that if we are loving people that we just gullible. We believe everything we hear no here's what it means. Love enables me to believe the best about someone no matter what.

That's what love does you see love is suspicious. Always looking for some reason to criticize.

Then if you notice he says that love hopes all things that that means that for this love enables me to hope for the best in you. No matter what's going on. I think about this for moment. Tell me something when you are undergoing difficult and hardship in trial and suffering in your life, what is it what is it that gives you the most hope when somebody loves us and we know that they love us and we need you there. Love and we are experiencing their love.

You know what doesn't in a different, how bad, how difficult, how the how dark dingy it may be there is something that stimulates hold and invigorates and brings the birth hope in our life when we feel loved by someone else. He says love hopes all things, and then he says love endures all things. What is the main simply this is when you and I love there is a string missing.

That is, there is a strength. There is a power there is an energy there is a source of strength within us that flows through us that enables to bear up and to bear and to receive and to go through the troubles and trials a heartache.

You know what happens. Somehow he keeps a steady. The truth is from the love of God is flowing in your life and mine with caption of this inexhaustible resource and God's love can flow through us what's happening.

We have settled ourselves with thinking about other people and so we endure by the strength and God gives it is the law within us that enables us to endure. Then he concludes this part of this passage by simply say in verse eight, listed law never fails that his love is unending when you not have the love of God within our hearts. Let me ask it once again run out is negative run out is what it means ultimately that no matter what's going on and how long ago zone. No matter what troubles those trials and products we face no matter what people say what they do to us. He says the proper response is always law that never fails.

It never fails easily because of my response to difficult and hardship in trial abuse or whatever may be if my response is always to love the other person is what that means. Watch this now. That means that no matter what they do. I'm still of free man because I don't allow them to imprison me with my bitterness and resentment and anger and hostility and unforgiving spirit, and if I should ask you, do you want to be free or imprisoned everybody wants to be free and my friend, if you want to be free.

The love of God was flow in your heart, and I believe that he wants us all to be walking fountains of love, his love flowing overflowing in us and through us to other people who are hurting all around us somehow when I'm giving myself away to someone else I'm not thinking about me and when I'm giving myself away to someone else.

The love of God is so flowing through is a real delight we've given away, because the love of God is continually replenishing all love is the eternal gift of God that keeps us free children of God, which brings him the glory seeking. Thank you for listening to party lab.
