1 John 4 Part III (Hindrances of Gods love through you)

        This is a continuation of other postings titled 1 John 4 part 1 and 1 John 4 part II. If you have not read the other two postings i would encourage you to do so, so you know where we are at in Gods Love.

        There is one commandment in the new testament that I have found, that is 1 John 4:21
 ²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

and  also Galatians 5:14 says,
¹⁴For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

     Now some of you I know are thinking to yourself you got off easy because you dont have a brother and you dont live next to anybody so this doesnt apply to you. Well I think we all understand that this term neighbor and brother is a much wider scope then a family member or the family next store. But the blessing in these two verses is that God never gives us a task he didnt already equip us for. We are complete in HIM amen ( col 2:10).

    Now God wants me to LOVE hes given me the LOVE to love, so how come im not loving? is my lover broke? No because God is your LOVE but if you can recall God asked us to

 ⁸Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give (Matthew 10:8). He asked us to lay our hands on the sick and they shall recover (Mark 16:18). He also said whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23). And again if God asked us to do something or told us we could He has already provided and equiped us. The healing power and ability to mkove mountains and raise dead is inside of us. But God has blessed us with a free will. We have the healing power of God on the inside of us I can show you in the bible and i Have seen absolutely great miracles in my lifes and others but I have not seen 100% manifestation, WHY? I dont completely understand it there are many things I do know such as unbelief, I know we have to take our authority, and I know my faith lies with Jesus Christ and not of my own works, so I havent arrived but I have left. But just the same as God has given us Love and provided the ability for us to Love all we have to do is allow it to operate through us, we have a free will to choose to Love and Not to Love. Thats why the Lord asked us or commanded us to Love because its not an automatic thing because he has left it up to us.

      But in a world in such need of Love I think its so important the we as Christians display Gods Love at all times. The greatest gift was human ability to Love, every person has the desire to be loved and want to love despite what some may say, because thats the way we were created, so the world seeks to fulfill it with money, sex, drugs, cars and still at the end of the day there desire is not fulfilled. People I couldnt imagine one day without the fulfillment of Gods love, can you imagine how the lost must feel. When the World see's Gods Love in you they will see something they have never seen before true Love and they will seek to discover how to obtain such a fulfilling Love, but first we have to show the World Gods love, and sadly more christians are runnning people off the road, being rude to their waitress, easily letting there emotions tear down others. So God has layed on my heart to unveil some of these hindrances to Displaying Gods Love through you.

  (1)   In 1 John 4:1-6 we are warned of false teachers and prophets and men of God. Verse 1 says
¹Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Then verse 7-21 is completely about Gods complete and amazing Love and how his LOve dwells in us and we in HIM. It is to my understanding that John was warning us of ministers of the "gospel" whose teachings did not display a similar message of the complete love of God. So to me that is by far the number one hindrance to displaying Gods love, we only Love because he first loved us ( verse 19). How are we to display Gods Love if we dont even Know Gods love for ourselves. Ignorance of Gods Love will easily inable us to show the world his love.

   (2) Galatians 5:16 says  ¹⁶This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

When you hear lust of the flesh you think of the obvious ones, sexual lust, money, adultery, murder, and drunkiness, but the lust of the flesh include hatred, strife, unforgiveness. That is why in verse 20-21 say

²⁰If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

 ²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Because Hate is a lust of the flesh and will confuse our spirit. We are now new creatures in christ and Full of the Love of God just completely Loving creatures and hatred and love should not dwell among eachother they are darkness and light so it hindures are ability to display love because we are now dealoing in the flesh. Because I want you to remeber something this is on Hinduring Gods love through you not Gods Love, Gods Love is complete and Complete in you because he is the same today and Always. It would almost be like this imagine if you had a safety deposit box filled with millions of dollars you had the key you had everything you were needed, in fact you had it sitting right in front of you all you have to do is open it and be set for life but an employee at the bank makes a rude comment towards you so you pull the key out of the box and walk over and give them a peace of your mind and never open that box full of money, instead of opening the box inspite of the comment and saying you know what Ive been blessed with so much I have more then enough to last me my family and there family here you go take a few million God bless you and changing your life forever. I know this story seems a bit foolish in the natural but christians do it everyday when they hoard up there love and mask it with hatred.

           These two are the main two that God has revealed to me but I promise if i receive a word from the Lord regarding this issue I will be Quick to update the Post. But of main in importance is not of works but remain in Gods presence at all times remind yourself daily of the Love of God for he is Love and herin is our love made perfect. We are still on this earth and will by no means ever be perfect and our flesh will always come against our love, but praise God its not us but Christ within and he has already provided more then enough. Allow Gods Love to flow through you today and change someones life. And know that God Loves you and so do I god bless you all.
