A Revolution of Love

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and

goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, (Yes and Amen) so that through them you may participate in the

divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith

goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance,

godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord

Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and

Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:3-10

Recap

Possess the

Promises

We don’t get to pick and choose

which bits of the Gospel/Christianity

and the Counsel of God’s Word

we like and don’t like

We have to step into the fullness

of what our allegiance & inheritance in

Christ commands us to, and avails us of.

Change the culture

I have given you authority (exousia) to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Luke 10:19

εξουσια – Exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah)In the sense of ability); privilege, that is, force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.

Knowing that you possess POWER is experientialWe are touched/shaken/moved by it and we in turnimpart it to others as an expression of the Kingdom here on Earth – Heavens invasion and reclamation!

Knowing that you have AUTHORITY comes from understanding our adopted identity. It is not what we feel or experience, it is what God says about us as individuals and the Church through the Death and Resurrection of Christ – Sons and Daughters

You have to believe it, to know it, to trust your Entitlement, inheritance and to exercise it!

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but betransformed by the renewing of your mind Romans 12:2

Our brains do precision surgery on our identity and attitude with every thought we

allow to circulate and register in our minds

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before

our God day and night. Revelation 12:10, Zechariah 3:1-2

We accuse the accuserFinally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of

God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against

the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil

comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the

breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of

faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray

in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Eph 6: 10-18

Any initiative in the spiritual fight has to come from an offensive position – Victory Mindset/demeanour

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to

hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.1 Corinthians 13: 1-3

The biggest impartation we have to receive and in turn convey to others is LOVE

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I

will give you an heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

We LOVE because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

LOVE one another as I have loved youJohn 15:12

He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is LOVE 1 John 4:8

Whoever claims to love God yet hates his brother or sisterIs a liar. For whoever does not love their brother or sisterwhom they have seen, cannot love God who they have not Seen 1 John 4:20
