The first and greatest commandment by God is LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
We are in the last days. Jesus Christ is coming back from Heaven to this earth for those who love and know Him. It is time to serve God with all of our heart, mind, soul AND strength. He wants to know those who have accepted Him as Lord of their lives AND truly love Him with all their heart, mind, soul and strength.
It is going to get rough out here trying to live holy for Jesus Christ but who will stay on fire for God? will you just honor God with your lips?? Or will you honor Him with your heart also?
Another thing…. Don’t let ANYTHING or ANYONE separate you from the love of Christ Jesus. Don’t let ANYTHING or ANYONE separate your good relationship with God. Don’t allow anyone or anything to come between you and your God.
Romans 8:35 says Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God wants us to hold fast to Him. He wants us to be on fire for Him.
Revelations 3:15 says I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
We must be HOT or on fire for God..That means serving and loving Him with all our heart soul mind and strength ..not being lukewarm. Seek God and Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
There is a song called “Send the Fire” by William Booth who started the Salvation Army
Here are some of the words:
God of Elijah, hear our cry:
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire!
To make us fit to live or die,
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire!
To burn up every trace of sin,
To bring the light and glory in,
The revolution now begin,
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire!
We need to say..
i must know you God..im desperate for you…i need you…im hungry for you..you’re the only one that really truly matters God. There is nothing better than you God.
You ask How can I love God with all my heart, mind, soul and strength? You can only truly love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength by receiving Jesus Christ as Lord of your life because Christ must be in you for you to please God and love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
Allow Jesus Christ to be Lord of your life now. He loves you more than you could ever imagine.
How can I Allow Jesus Christ to be Lord of my life?
Romans 10:9 – 10 says if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…..and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. If you need Jesus and want a personal relationship with Him, pray this very simple prayer out loud:
“Father God, I love you. I believe in you. I need you. I’m sorry for my sins. Sorry about the way I’ve lived. Sorry for shutting You out. I want You in my life. I surrender. I yield. I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior and my Lord. I believe He died for me. He rose from the dead. He’s alive today. Come into me. Take me just the way I am. Now make me everything You want me to be. I believe I’m saved. I’m on my way to heaven, and I’m going to enjoy the trip. Amen.”
Now that you have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, publicly acknowledge the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ by being water-baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and also receive the Holy Spirit that is evidenced by speaking in tongues according to Acts Chapter 2.
Now when you receive the Holy Ghost aka the Holy Spirit, according to Luke 3:16, that Holy Spirit comes with fire power to help you live right for God and stay on fire for God.
Don’t let anything or anyone separate you from the love of God through Christ Jesus. Go to church. Hear and Do the word of God. Go hard after Jesus. Don’t be lukewarm. Be real with God. He knows your shortcomings. He knows your ups and downs. Confess your issues to Him. He is ready and willing to help you. Let Him be Lord of your life today and love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.In the midst of turmoil..hold onto God and seek Him while He may be found..call to Him while He is near..while you have a chance to turn unto Him repent of your sins and accept our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as your savior..He will be your comfort in sorrow, your healer through the pain, and more. Worship Him in spirit and in truth..from the heart..Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
Thank you for listening. May the grace of God be with you in Jesus name.
Jesus said, “If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments.” This means if we are not keeping His commandments, we don’t love Him. Love compels us to obey God with everything that’s in us. I agree, we are living in the last days; and now, more than ever, we need to keep ourselves rooted and grounded in Christ. We just never know when Christ will make His appearance in the sky to call His church home. We must be ready at His appearance, because the only other opportunity to make it to heaven is to make it through the tribulation period (by not accepting the mark of the beast). And who wants to go through the tribulation period if they don’t have to. God’s grace is on the earth right now to allow us time to become rapture ready. But His grace will soon run out. Thanks for posting this article. The church needs to keep this message front and center, to remind the church, and the world, to stay saved. And if you’re not saved, get saved! The need for salvation is great in the earth, and it’s OUR job to warn the world of the coming destruction on the earth. God Bless.
