Book Description
CHAPTER SEVEN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE Romans 5:5b 5...because THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS(SPIRITS) BY THE HOLY GHOST which is given unto us. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us THE SPIRIT of fear; but of power, and OF LOVE, and of a sound mind. One of the reasons love is rarely practiced as it should be is the lack of understanding. The believer needs to understand and be equipped to walk in love. Love is the spirit of victory and triumph. THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS (SPIRITS) BY THE HOLY GHOST. Love is a spirit. And we are already furnished with the spirit of love. We also know this from 2 Timothy 1:7. Believers have the love nature directly from God by the Holy Ghost. No effort is needed to have love. We do not grow in love, but we grow in our love walk. Love is a nature that we mature in. Love brings spiritual results, which we call rest in this book. Selfish love brings physical results. Spiritual results override physical results and never fail. 1 Corinthians 13 teaches us more about the divine kind of love. Love is a force that overcomes emotional and physical pressures from the flesh. Sometimes, the sight of challenges looks so scary and frightening from the viewpoint of the flesh. Selfish love is never an option in such cases. This is the challenge faced with symptoms of sickness and forces of darkness around us, yet we believe God by His word. How can we put on a look of love when challenges show up? Well, most people will be so upset when we say lack of love is the cause of their challenges. Walking in love is the answer, too. The spirit of love is an enablement to our weak flesh. It is a spirit that refuses to be mad at everyone because you are sick. Love is a spirit that prepares you for miracles and wonders. Love without patience is the same as love in the world. This patience means acting in faith, that what you desire, you shall touch, because you walk in divine love. We can initiate love consciously sometimes, to overcome the desire of the flesh. LOVE IS A TRANSMITTER OF SPIRITUAL THINGS Love is our transmitter to Heavenly realms, and a receiver on Earth. With our spirit, the future is known. This knowledge prepares us in advance to love. Notice in John 16:13 that it is our privilege to know things in advance. John 14:26 tell us that we can also know the past. Now, if you have this ability, you can ascend physical things from its source – the spiritual realm. Everything physical has a spiritual source. You need love to ascend Heavenly realities; love is our transmitter between Heaven and Earth. You see, in trials on Earth, God's love is shed abroad in our hearts. Love unlocks the mysteries of life and provides answers to both spiritual and human questions. Love was a spiritual reality to Christ on Earth. We can now justify that by love, Jesus' forgiveness to others was normal, though abnormal to the world. He knew the end even before it came. During Jesus' trial and crucifixion, love had come to rest in His heart, more than any time on Earth. Love was there to overcome enmity, pains, betrayal and denial. When challenges become daunting, the amount of love in our hearts becomes greater. Love is internally regulated and responsive to our needs. Being led by the spirit is to be led by love. Since God is love, we are one with Him through love. Love has a magnetic force that pulls everyone around Him. That power echoes in John 12:32 when Jesus said: John 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me." the spirit of love in a man is a magnet. Christ's resurrection saw the climax of love's power on Earth. It was love behind that great force of ascension that joined Christ in body, soul and spirit with the Father. Our love is the only reason why men and women shall come to our rising. It is the magnet of all other forces in the world. Love plays host to faith, power, joy, rest and wisdom. When love endures, it always comes to pass. Love is patient and never fails. Love is the window of the recreated spirit of God's man. Christ-like love will guide you to THE REALM OF REST. Don't stop loving. Don't be discouraged, you will get there if you remain patient. With love, we know that Heaven is certain, though we walk on Earth. Such a spiritual concept has been given very little spiritual revelation. In some cases, I have been asked why people who love always get stabbed in return. Then you did not love; you may have been stabbed because you were selfish and hoped for a certain reward. That is not love. Get your love walk straight. Love sits on the throne that judges the world. He sits on the throne of possibility. He is the miraculous. Love does not value bread as much as it values feeding the hungry. It does not expect man to reward him; it expects God to. Love does not reciprocate between the same people. Love is love. Love is all sufficient and always satisfied. John 13:34-35 34A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, if you have love one to another. By love, all men shall know that you are Christ's disciples. Love graduates to greater revelation and truth from God. Divine love is God's light in the world. The spirit of wisdom comes from love. At the same time, it is what makes a man prosperous. Love is the fountain of spiritual gifts. Wisdom and revelation come from love. That is reflected in Paul's prayers to the saints below. Ephesians 1:15-17 15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your FAITH in the Lord Jesus, and LOVE unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the SPIRIT OF WISDOM and REVELATION in the knowledge of him. Love walk suffers when we don't know why we love. Even when we get to know, we must grow in the knowledge of it. What can make us love as Christ is, growing in the knowledge of God's love nature. We must know that love is our nature from God and its reward is also from God, not man. When I encounter challenging personalities, so I do not journey out of love, I always imagine myself in the spiritual realm, reigning with love. I can easily tolerate and be patient over anything, because in the spiritual realm, I know the outcome. You are always right when you are in love. Love is equal to nothing on Earth – love is God. Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Romans 12:9 Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right. Perfect love casts our fear. It is the source of pleasure and joy. Love is above all things. 1 John 4:18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. At rest, love is the king. When love becomes mature, we walk the supernatural. The Holy Spirit and your spirit unite in love. Love is the image and likeness of God in His man. What makes us supermen and women on Earth is love – when love comes in, we are complete. Divine love brings God's effect in man. 1 John 4:12 12 No one has ever seen God; but if you love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. One would be surprised if God was not love, or if He was love and our love was tested by loving Him alone. When we love as God would, we know God. Notice that every man has the nature of God. However, this nature is locked in some and needs to be set free. Knowing the truth will make them free. Love is the way, the truth and the light. When we share the knowledge of God with others, we share the spirit of love. To know that you rest, you must walk in love. Our love is needed to unlock love in others. No doubt, love has been the most influential fact

Book Description
In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. Endorsements "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches." --Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement "'How was it possible that I had never seen that before?' Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

Book Description
Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Book Description
Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.
