PREFACE SUMMARY
The love of God is an all-encompassing love that extends to all of creation and is available to everyone, regardless of their circumstances or station in life. It reminds us that we are never alone and always loved and valued, no matter what; it brings hope, comfort, and joy to all who experience it and endures forever.
After a forty-three-year career in trucking, I felt a calling from God to move to the Philippines to help with the beginning stages of the end-time revival. This meant leaving behind a new car and several new suits I had just purchased.
After a few revivals, I realized that some people in the Philippines had trouble understanding me when I presented my message in a loud, emotional way that I was used to in the United States. So, I worked on developing a new way to deliver my message that would resonate with the audience in the Philippines.
One day, I was scheduled to speak in a Miracle Life Church on "The Majestic Love of God." I soon realized that God had given me this message to prepare me for a young, troubled boy who had just lost his father.
My wife and I met a nineteen-year-old boy at a Christian bookstore a few days before the meeting. He had lost his father while they were visiting another country, and he was now stranded in the Philippines with his mother.
Feeling lonely and confused, he sought refuge in the bookstore and would often read books about understanding the love of God.
The store manager, a kind-hearted woman, became friends with the boy and allowed him to browse and read through the books in the store. My wife and I, along with the store manager, spent a few days ministering to the boy and were able to lead him to Christ.
It's incredible how God can send someone ten thousand miles away from home to answer questions and demonstrate His love to a confused young boy in a bookstore who is missing the love of his earthly father.

Throughout the ages, countless individuals have experienced the undeniable power of God's unwavering love. Just like a warm blanket to a street person lying in the cold, His love will fill you with warmth, comfort, peace and guide you through life's journey, no matter the challenges that come your way.
It's interesting to note that even though we can attempt to categorize God's love into seven distinct categories, it's still not enough to comprehend or fully describe the depth of that love which encompasses so much more than words can express
In the third chapter of Ephesians, the author emphasizes the profound and incomprehensible nature of Christ's love. The love of Christ is not just a fleeting emotion or a temporary feeling but a deep, abiding, sacrificial, unconditional, and all-encompassing love that is available to all who seek it.
God’s love is not limited by time, space, or circumstance, but rather, it is a constant and unchanging love that sustains us through all of life's challenges.

Love is an action word, and when we love others, we reflect the love of God in us. Love is one of the foundational stones for the gifts of the Spirit to operate in our lives and ministries. It is by love that we bear fruit that glorifies God.
God's love answers every question, solves every problem, and provides the source of every blessing. According to the scriptures, we know we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren, and people can tell if our love is genuine. We are called to love one another as Christ has loved us.
God's love is the purest form of love known to humanity. It is unconditional, unwavering, and everlasting. It knows no boundaries, limitations, or conditions. It transcends all human understanding and brings hope, peace, and joy to those who embrace it. The love of God is always present, even in the darkest moments of our lives.

Beloved, loneliness can often be a difficult and painful experience, but there is hope for those who feel lonely. God wants to comfort and reassure them that they are not alone in this world, and he wants to remind widows, widowers, and anyone struggling with loneliness that they have a place in His royal family.
God offers His love unconditionally, without any judgment or expectation. When we turn toward Him, He embraces us with open arms, ready to provide us with the comfort, guidance, and support we need to overcome our struggles.
Beloved, if you are feeling lonely, know that God is with you. He sees your pain and wants to help you overcome it. For those who have experienced the most profound forms of suffering, such as lonely mothers who may have a son or daughter on death row, there is hope which can be found in a True, Loving Heavenly Father who wants nothing but the best for them and their families.
No matter what we have been through or are currently facing, God's love is always available. It offers comfort in times of distress, hope in times of despair, and peace in times of turmoil.

In a harsh and unforgiving world, God's love serves as a beacon of hope that shines brightly. It is a love that we can count on. Let us embrace this powerful love and allow it to fill our hearts and guide us in all we do.
Beloved, the more storms and experiences we face, the more we understand that God's love is not weak and can never be diminished. The holy scriptures emphasize his love, which states that the Lord has redeemed us with His precious blood. This means that we are highly valuable in His sight, and He will never allow anyone or anything to take us away from Him.
Did you know that a single human soul is more precious to God than all the riches in the world? Did you know that we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, and nothing can separate us from His love?
As God’s children, it is essential to recognize that any temptation we face must be allowed by Him before it can come our way. This means that even the trials and tribulations of life are ultimately under His control and can be used for our good and His glory.
By trusting in His sovereignty, we can be confident that our heavenly Father loves us with a pure, intimate, providing, and unconditional love that surpasses all understanding.
God is not bound by space and time, which separates Him from all other created things. Through prayer, we can enter His divine presence and discover His Spirit on Earth.
Beloved, God's wisdom, power, and goodness are beyond our understanding. It is crucial to recognize that when we face challenges in our personal lives, relationships, or careers, we can rest assured that God is with us every step and that his plans are always good, working everything in our favor.
Our loving heavenly Father is always there to hear our prayers and provide for our every need. Let us confidently approach the throne of grace, knowing we serve a God who loves and desires our best unconditionally.
May we thank God our Father for extending His grace so we can come boldly to Him with praise and thanksgiving? We are His adopted children, whom He has engraved on the palm of His hands. We can have confidence in knowing that God promises never to let anyone or anything take us away from Him. In the Lord's prayer, we are instructed to "Deliver us from evil." We do not know what dangers we may encounter, so we need God's hand of protection to protect us and keep us safe.
5. "GOD'S LOVE IS A PROTECTIVE LOVE."
Beloved, did you know that God's Love is a Protective Love that offers security and comfort to those who receive it? It is a love that is always there, watching over you and guiding you through life's challenges.
God’s love is like a shield that surrounds you and keeps you safe from both seen and unseen harm and danger. It will be there to comfort you in times of distress. So, open your heart to God's love and feel its protective embrace.
Throughout my life, I have experienced many difficulties and hardships. I was used and abused by those whom I thought loved me, and I was left feeling hurt and alone. However, I understand that God uses our life experiences, heartaches, and disappointments to develop our character, mature us, and use us for His glory.
I am now a Board-Certified Mental Health Coach through the American Christian Counselors Association. I have seen firsthand the incredible power of God's love in healing and transforming people's lives. I encourage you to seek and trust God's love, even when things seem complex or uncertain.
Beloved, prayer is a powerful, sacred practice that allows us to communicate with God. It is a way to connect with Him and receive guidance, comfort, and peace. When we pray, we express our desires, fears, and hopes to God and seek His wisdom, direction, and support.
Through prayer, we get to know God more intimately and deepen our relationship by understanding His character, ways, and purposes. We experience His love, grace, and mercy. We also learn about ourselves, strengths, and our weaknesses and become more humble, grateful, and trusting.
Prayer is a way to transcend time and space and connect with God in an eternal dimension. Prayer is not just a way to ask for things; it is a way to worship, praise, and adore God. It is a way to thank Him for His blessings and acknowledge His sovereignty.
Prayer reminds us that we are not alone, part of a larger story, and have a purpose to fulfill. It helps us see beyond our circumstances and trust that God is in control. It gives us hope, courage, and peace amid trials and challenges.
Prayer is not a magic formula and does not guarantee immediate results. Sometimes, we may have to wait long to see the fruit of our prayers. But prayer changes us, and it aligns us with God's will. It helps us to surrender our will to His and to trust that His ways are higher than ours. It also helps us to see the world through His eyes and to respond to it with love, compassion, and justice.
Prayer is a way to deepen our relationship with God, gain insight into the essence of life, and be transformed into His image. When we pray, it's important to remember that God is not just listening to our words but is also aware of the people around us. Everyone is unique, and God sees and understands the intricate details of their lives. He observes our prayers' impact on them and considers their needs and circumstances.
Praying for others, especially those who are hurting, lost, or in need of God's love, is crucial. Our prayers for them can bring hope, comfort, and healing to their lives. When we pray for others, we become channels of God's grace and love, and we can make a positive difference in their lives.
God is a Father to the Fatherless. The world is filled with hurting people who bear the memory of a rough childhood with an abusive father who showed very little love toward his family. But God is different. He loves us unconditionally and wants to be our Father. I encourage you to seek His love and trust it, even when things seem complex or uncertain. Dear reader, I never heard, "Son, I am proud of You."
Growing up, my father always told me that I would never amount to anything and behaved as if he were competing with me. It was a painful experience that left me feeling discouraged and unsupported.
However, as I've grown older and studied the Bible, I've realized that our Heavenly Father is nothing like my earthly father. Unlike my father, God desires to develop a loving relationship with us, His children. He doesn't compete with or tear us down but builds us up and encourages us to reach our full potential.
God's word clearly outlines the characteristics of a model father: patient, kind, and loving. He provides for our needs and protects us from harm. Most importantly, He is always there for us, listening to our prayers and offering us guidance and wisdom.
Beloved, if you've had a complicated relationship with your father, I want you to know there is hope. Our Heavenly Father is waiting for you with open arms, ready to offer you the love and support you deserve. All you have to do is reach out to Him and ask for His help.
The word states in (Matthew 23:9) for us to call no man on earth father but beloved. The writer expresses that in Greek, the word instructs us not to refer to any man on earth as the model father because beloved, only God can fulfill that position.
Paul's first letter to the Corinthian church describes his role as a spiritual father to the people he converted to Christianity. Paul's use of the term "father" is metaphorical, implying that he was responsible for their spiritual upbringing and well-being.
Throughout his ministry, Paul traveled extensively throughout the Roman Empire, spreading the gospel and establishing Christian communities. He reminded them that he was the one who brought the good news of Christ to them and helped them grow in their faith.
By referring to himself as the "father of the gospel," Paul emphasizes the importance of his role as a spiritual mentor and leader. He takes responsibility for the well-being of the Corinthians and urges them to follow his example and teachings.
If we are looking for a perfect model of a father, we need not look any further than God's Holy Word. The Bible tells us that God's love for us is like a Father's love. He has a Father's Heart, full of warmth, compassion, and care for His people. God’s love for us is unconditional and never-ending.
God has a Father's Strength, which is evident in His power to create and sustain the universe. He is almighty and can do anything. His strength reflects His love for us and His desire always to protect us.
God has a Father's Concern for His people. He cares about our every need, whether big or small. He is always there to listen to our prayers and guide us through the difficult times. His concern for us is a testament to His love and compassion.
We can take comfort in knowing that our Father will never change or lose His power. His love, strength, and concern for us will remain constant. Therefore, let us rejoice in this beautiful truth and trust His unwavering love for us.
(Isaiah 9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Beloved, this scripture reveals to us the attributes of God our Father, and here we might comment that something is lovely. Still, God says let me show you wonderfully as you view the risen glorified Christ that has been made both Lord and Christ who is mediating and representing you before the courts of Heaven.
Let us take a moment to reflect on the words of the prophet Isaiah as he describes God's power available to us. Isaiah presents God as an Everlasting Father who is unchanging in His love for us and possesses immeasurable power to save us from temptation and bad habits.
Through the cross, we were predestined to become God's children. We take the first step in this journey by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We are called to approach God as our loving Father who desires a relationship with us rather than as a deity who requires us to earn His favor through our actions.
We must recognize that our perception of God influences how we approach Him in prayer. Our understanding of God's character affects how we make our requests known to Him. Just as a child who has been abused may approach their father with fear and hesitation, our understanding of God can impact how we come to Him in prayer.
We should confidently approach Him, knowing He loves us unconditionally and desires only the best. His love for us is beyond measure, and His kindness toward us is immeasurable. May we always remember that we are His beloved children and can always find comfort and guidance in Him.
May I ask you to think for a moment about how would a child who has an abusive father approach their father?
1. What will they ask for, and how will they approach them?
2. Will they be fearful that he may burst into an emotional uproar?
Do we approach God with fear and trepidation, thinking He is waiting for us to fail? Or can we approach Him as a loving, compassionate Father who desires to see us succeed and flourish in every area of our lives?
6. "GOD'S LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND"
God's love is characterized by unrelenting patience and compassion. Time, circumstances or human failings do not limit it. Instead, it is all-encompassing and endures through all situations.
God's love is the most pure and beautiful manifestation of care and concern for humanity. It is a love marked by compassion, grace, and forgiveness and is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, making it unique and compelling. This love calls us to extend patience and kindness to others, just as we have received them from God.
God's love will never give up on us, no matter how long it takes. It is a gentle and caring love that always seeks the best for those it loves. Let us strive to emulate this love, showing kindness and patience to those around us.
Did you know that the more you live through the uncertainties that life may send, the more you discover that God's matchless, never-changing love is patient and kind? God desires us to maintain a deep and loving family relationship, even though He already knows our needs. He wants us to come to Him, trusting and believing He can meet our needs.
As God's children, we are privileged to ask Him for the blessings and gifts He already desires to give us. Our prayer life enables us to come into His presence and receive instruction and guidance from Him. Through prayer, we can also experience the joy and peace that come from knowing that we are loved and cared for by our Heavenly Father.
When we come to God with our burdens, we can trust that He will never turn us away. As members of His family, we hold a unique and cherished place in His heart, and He longs for us to seek His help. Whether we need comfort in times of sorrow, guidance in moments of uncertainty, or simply someone to listen to our troubles, God is an ever-present help and promises never to leave or forsake us.
When we turn to Him, we can rest assured that He will provide us with the strength, wisdom, and grace to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Let us come to God with open hearts and minds, ready to receive the blessings and gifts He has in store for us.
God's love is an unshakable foundation we can rely on, even in our imperfections and mistakes. It is a love that does not destroy or condemn us for our failures but lifts us and brings us closer to God. As we grow in our faith and knowledge of God, we see He is a patient and merciful God, slow to anger and quick to forgive.
Beloved, our loving God, desires for all of us to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, and He waits patiently for us to conform to the image of His Son through the work of the Holy Spirit.
I want to encourage you that every day presents us with the chance to become more like Jesus. We can do this by reflecting His love, character, and compassion towards the world around us. Jesus lived a life of love and service, and we can strive to emulate His example.
God's love for us is an everlasting and unchanging love that surpasses all human understanding. We cannot fully comprehend its depth and vastness, but we know it is genuine. This love knows no bounds and extends from the highest heaven to the lowest hell, encompassing all creation.
God's love is not based on our actions or accomplishments but on who God is and His desire to have a relationship with us. This love is the greatest love of all and a gift that we can never fully comprehend or repay. It is freely given to us, not because of anything we have done but because of God's infinite grace and mercy.
In a world where love is often conditional and fleeting, God's love stands out as a beacon of hope and security. It is a love that will never fade or diminish and is available to all who seek it. May we ever be grateful for His matchless grace, mercy, and kind, patient love towards us. Remember to rejoice in knowing that we are a purchased possession, bought with a price, the blood of Christ.
7. "GOD'S LOVE IS A LOVE THAT ENDURES."
Beloved, when we talk about God's love, we refer to a love characterized by its enduring nature. This love is not temporary or fleeting; instead, it endures forever. It's a love that remains constant even when everything else around us seems to be changing.
God's love is an incomparable love that surpasses any human understanding. It is pure, selfless, and unconditional, not based on anything we do or don't do. This love is given freely without any expectations or demands. It transcends all barriers, be they race, gender, or religion.
The love of God serves as a beacon of hope that we can cling to during these trying times. It's a love that surpasses all understanding and can heal our deepest wounds and restore our faith. This love reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles. It shows us that a higher power is looking out for us, guiding us through the darkness towards the light. It's a source of comfort and strength we can draw upon when we feel weak or vulnerable.
God's love is a powerful love that can make us whole again. It can help us find meaning and purpose in our lives, even amid chaos and turmoil. It's a reminder that we are loved unconditionally, no matter what mistakes we may have made. With this love in our hearts, we can face any challenge and become more assertive on the other side.
God's Love is a providing love because it meets our needs where we are. Throughout history, God's mercy, lovingkindness, grace, and enduring love have never stopped finding ways to bless and help His people. His unconditional love has prepared great blessings and treasures for us to enjoy throughout all eternity. It assures us that we are never alone, for His love is an oasis of indwelling love.
The love of God is the foundation on which we can build our entire existence. This love is unyielding and never fades away. It is unwavering and never fails, even when we feel lost or alone. We can always depend on this love to guide us through the ups and downs of life.
The love of God is an unmatched source of comfort and strength that carries us through even the most difficult times. This divine love helps us navigate the storms of life, offering us hope and a sense of purpose. Whether we are struggling with illness, loss, or other challenges, we can always rely on the love of God to guide and support us.
God’s enduring love gives us a sense of security and comfort that nothing else can match. It can provide us with a sense of purpose and direction and a deep understanding of joy and contentment that comes from knowing that we are loved and cherished by a force greater than ourselves. It is a constant reminder that we are never alone and that someone always cares for us.
When everything around us seems out of order, we can rest in knowing that we can rely on this love to guide us through our journey in life, and it will never disappoint us. It gives us hope and assurance that everything will work out for our highest good, even in difficult times. So, let us hold on to God's love and let it transform our lives.
"HOW DO YOU APPROACH GOD?"
Did you know how you approach God can profoundly impact your spiritual journey? Whether through prayer, meditation, or quiet reflection, taking intentional steps toward connecting with him can bring immense peace and clarity to your life.
Approaching God is a profoundly personal and meaningful experience, depending on your beliefs and traditions, such as consecrated prayer, attending church, or reading your Bible. Approaching God with an open heart and mind can deepen your connection to him and cause you to experience greater peace, joy, and fulfillment.
If God were to give you a blank check, what would you do with it? Would you use it to benefit yourself, or would you use it to help advance the Kingdom of God? We must ponder This critical question because it reveals our heart's desires and priorities.
Beloved, when we come before God to express our needs, we must remember that the Bible instructs us to ask because God is always concerned about the needs of His children. He wants to see us succeed and overcome every obstacle that comes our way.
If we know God as our Father, we can confidently come before Him, knowing He can answer our prayers and fulfill our needs. As He does, In a world where many people are searching for meaning and purpose, it's important to remember that we have the power to make a difference.
Each of us can leave our unique mark on the world; in doing so, we can help provide the answers and reasons others seek. This can take many forms, from creating something new and innovative to giving kindness and support to those around us. By leaving our signature on the world, we can contribute to a better future for ourselves and others.
I woke up this morning at 2:30 AM with a song, "He Lifts Me to Stand on Mountains." I want to remind you that our God will always lift us when we fall. He is our comfort in times of sorrow and will lift us when we feel broken.
I want to share a beautiful poem called "Two Sets of Footprints." The poem tells the story of a man who has been walking on the beach with God and, as he looks back, sees two sets of footprints in the sand. He realizes that one set of footprints is his, and the other belongs to God.
As the man looks closer, he realizes there is only one set of footprints during the most challenging times in his life. Confused and hurt, the man asks God why He abandoned him during his most difficult moments. God then tenderly responds, "My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
As we conclude our conversation, I am reminded of a beautiful hymn called "Lord, I'm coming home." This song reminds us that no matter how far we may have strayed from God, it is never too late to turn back to Him. The song's lyrics speak of a deep longing to return to the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.
In the parable of the prodigal son, we see a father who eagerly awaits the return of his wayward child. Similarly, God is always ready to receive us with open arms, no matter how far we may have wandered away.
Beloved, if you ever feel lost, alone, or disconnected from God, it's important to remember that you are not alone.
You can always turn to Him in prayer, confess your sins, and ask for forgiveness. God's love and mercy are infinite; nothing can separate you from His love. When you feel lost, take a moment to reflect on your life and your relationship with God. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you and to help you find your way back to Him.
By experience, I have discovered that God will always be there, waiting for you with open arms, no matter how far you may have strayed. Confessing your sins and asking for forgiveness is not always easy, but it is necessary for healing and restoration. God's forgiveness is complete and unconditional, and He is always ready to forgive you when you come to Him in humility and sincerity.
Beloved, no matter what you have done or how far you have strayed from God, it's never too late to come home to Him. He loves you unconditionally and always waits for you to return to Him. So, if you ever feel lost, alone, or disconnected from God, take heart and know He is always with you, guiding you back to the path of righteousness and peace.
MY CONCLUSION
As we conclude this message, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of having a high priest who can understand our struggles and empathize with our infirmities. This is a comforting thought, especially during difficult times when we may feel alone and misunderstood.
The Bible tells us that Jesus, our high priest, is a mediator between us and God the Father. He is there to represent us before the throne of God, offering us hope and guidance when we need it the most. Through this connection, we can find solace and strength, knowing we are not alone in our struggles. So, let us take a moment to be grateful for this gift and draw strength from it as we move forward.
Beloved, Jesus Christ, our Lord, was once a man with a human soul and spirit like us, and God raised him to become both Lord and Christ, a perfect and spotless sacrifice for the redemption of humanity.
It's important to note that Christ had to be fully human to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. If he were anything that Adam lacked, he wouldn't be qualified to become the supreme sacrifice needed to allow sinful man to get back in fellowship with a perfect Holy God.
It's for this reason that God left him on the cross, and when he committed his spirit into God's hands, he was committing his human spirit. This act of love is a testament to his passion for humanity and his desire to see us redeemed and restored to his image, to bear him just as he bore our earthly image.
After living a sinless life, Christ took on our sinful nature, becoming a sin for us and making way for his children to bear his heavenly image. This profound truth speaks to God's love for us and his desire to restore us to his image.
Christ didn't come into this world to start another religion. Instead, he came to pay the sin debt, which would pave the way for sinful man to be redeemed and be accepted back in fellowship with our creator. This demonstrates the fantastic love of almighty God, who gave his only begotten son for our redemption.
In summary, let us live a life that demonstrates the teachings of the Gospel of the Kingdom to those who are lost and hurting. Remember, God has chosen a remnant, and even the most minor efforts we make for Him in this dark and confused world can make a big difference. When we let our light shine for the Kingdom of God in a confused and dark world, we become that flame of hope that can bring hope out of despair.

May you awaken the gifts and talents placed in them from birth so they can unite in the faith with other believers, realizing the need to work together in harmony like a finely tuned orchestra in the master's hands.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your tremendous love and blessings over our lives. I am grateful for your promise never to leave or forsake us as your children and to be with us all the way, even to the end of the world.
Lord, I ask for your forgiveness for forgetting that you know our needs before we ask. You understand our struggles, for you were once one of us, tempted in all points like us. You went to the cross to pay our sin debt so that we could be adopted into your royal family as Sons and Daughters sharing with you in your glory. Thank you, Jesus.
Dear Lord, I ask that you enlarge our borders and place your hand of blessing upon us to guide us on the path you have chosen for us. We need your divine guidance so that we might walk fully in your blessing and goodness as you lead us by your Spirit to divine appointments. Please deliver us from evil so that we will not be tempted or cause pain to others.
Lord, I pray that your blessed and holy name might be glorified throughout the Earth as you leave your signature through us to future generations. Lord, I ask that you assign an Angel to accompany this work into the homes of every person who will take the time to read it.
Father, help us stand firm together, activating our faith, for it is in these trying times, through your grace, that we can find rest in knowing that we can depend on you, our God, "Our Father," to come on the scene to direct our path and to guide our footsteps, helping us to understand our dependence for survival upon you.
Dear Lord, help us realize that we represent your glorious body on Earth. Therefore, Lord, help us also understand that there is strength in numbers, and we need each other to be fruitful and live prosperous lives as your people.
Lord, please help us not to be careless and prideful in our Christian walk or resemble a bunch of used body parts. Help us realize, Lord, that we are part of something bigger than ourselves and part of your glorious body as sons and daughters in your royal family and kingdom.
Father, I pray that you stir us up and burden our hearts for true revival, yes, Lord, in every country worldwide. Demonstrate to the people in these countries that you are the Unchanging God, for your word declares that what you were yesterday, you are today and will be tomorrow! (Hebrews 13:8)
