One of the greatest misunderstandings that exist today would be the understanding of the nature of God. We'll be understanding who he really is, and what I want you to know today, as I said earlier, I'm under divine mandate, God is love. God is love, he's not just over in the cosmos somewhere and he's handing out punishments because every time you do wrong, God is not standing there pointing his finger at you, his arms are open wide, he wants you to come.

He wants you to come. If you don't know him, I'm telling you you're missing out, because you don't trade down, you trade up. He gave everything. And with Christ comes everything. What the Bible says that God was in Jesus reconciling. He was writing a relationship. In the beginning, God fellowship with man in the garden, but sin, sin broke that fellowship, and so now the father, and I want you to know that it was before the foundation of the earth he had a plan.

No matter what is going on in my life, love never fails. It will exist forever. Love is not natural, I know and I alluded earlier to the fact that a lot of times we compare the love of a mother to God. I don't care on my best date, I still fall short. There are promises that I made to my child that sometimes I just can't keep them. I go back and apologize, but guess what, if the father said it, he's gonna do it. Jesus said, when he comes back, will he find faith in the earth? [00:21:11] (34 seconds)  #FaithInLovePromises Download clip

God is love, he engages us in love. After all, we're in covenant. That's a problem if you're in covenant with someone and they are responsible, they're obligated to you. Everything that they have belongs to you. That's right. Yes. They're devoted to your safety. They're devoted to your prosperity, to your health. Amen? And so if they violate that, then they've broken covenant. But God says his covenant he will not break. No alter the thing that has gone forth out of his mouth.

Will he find those that trust him despite what you're seeing? Yes. Despite the way things appear to be, regardless of gas being $4.41. Whoo. Oh, hallelujah. I thank you. I can fill up my tank because he is my supply. Yes. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Love never fails. He takes care of his children. He's not a deadbeat dad. That's right. Thank you, Jesus.

If God is love, then love will never end because God is eternal. Yes, If he ever did that, of course his nature is not what he says it is and that will make him a liar, we know God is not a man that he should lie. Amen? God and love are one and the same, we shouldn't believe those lies when the enemy comes because that's who it is, God doesn't love you. God doesn't want you anymore because what you've done is too bad to be forgiven. Your jug head self keep doing the same thing over and over and over, he can't use you. That's a lie.

And so, we have to engage him in love and understand his love doesn't change. It doesn't he doesn't fail. So the scripture it talks about God is love. Yes. This word love is agape. Agape love is affection or benevolence. A lot of times we hear the word benevolence, but I don't think we really understand what it means. So, Merriam Webster says that benevolence is a disposition to do good. We [00:09:14] (30 seconds)  #AgapeMeansBenevolence Download clip

Your testimony now should be, wow, she's changed. Wow, there's something different about her. Guess what? It's the agape love of God. His true nature and who he is has now come in me. My spirit is now alive unto God, I'm born again, the Holy Spirit lives in me and I just cannot be that old Sherida, I I can't just cut people off like I used to. You crossed me once, you crossed me twice, shame on me. No. Guess what? You might just keep crossing now because it's like, I just pray for them. I love them.
