Pathway of love - Love and miracles

WHERE DO ANSWERED PRAYERS AND MIRACLES COME FROM?

Living in the land of God’s love means that at any one given moment a creative miracle is happening in your world. Living in the land of conflict and judgment will starve your world of miracles. It blinds us to love and interrupts the flow of love – it deflects the miracle of God's love at work. 

1John 3.11 For ‘this’ is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. (Luke 10:27 ’ and ‘ your neighbor as yourself).

One way of stopping the flow of love is the ‘as Yourself’ problem.

TRANSCENDENT LOVE

1John 3:19 And by ‘this’ we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns (shames blames and accuses) us, God transcends (WBC) our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn (shame blame and accuse) us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another.

This word ‘condemns’ is only used in one other place in the Bible – when Paul shamed and blamed and accused Peter of separating himself from the  Gentile Christians at Antioch (Galatians 2:11). It was about judgment and ‘unlove’ – darkness instead of light. This speaks to us of our internal conflict and how to have it healed. We need to see the ‘wrapping’ of our darkness honestly (and courageously) but God can transcend it – that is how we stay confident in our hearts. God’s transcendent light blasts through our wispy darkness and our willing spirit releases faith that works (miracles) through love.

LOVE ALIGNS WITH THE WILL OF GOD.  (WILL = DESIRE) 

There is no magic here or mechanical formulas, just two wills (heart desires) in the alignment of love. 

1John 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will (heart desire), He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.

We were created in the light of God’s love, and consciousness of the flow of love is being faithful to our eternal origin and divine source. Our original need (request) is that we be loved – and our original desire is that we love. This original desire must begin to bud and grow.

God’s love desire sweeps up our emerging love desire and aligns it with his supernatural ‘miracle of love’ outcomes. 

John 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.

John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

We abide and He will provide.
