Love Never Fails
1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Charity never
faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be
tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish
away. (9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. (10) But when that
which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
(KJV)
The love of God will never fail us, and
neither will those that operate in it. Everyone wants something sure; a
guarantee that is fail safe; the problem is most everyone is looking in the
wrong realm to find it. All these prophecies we have heard in the past,
tongues and so called knowledge, is vanishing away to those that are in
Christ because they are learning to grow up and mature in His realm, that
being the spiritual one. What we have been able to comprehend in part, and
speak in part or with a partial understanding, is now done away in Christ,
as all things become new.
2 Corinthians 5:14-17 For the love of
Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all,
then were all dead: (15) And that he died for all, that they which live
should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for
them, and rose again. (16) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the
flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth
know we him no more. (17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(KJV)
The reason our Lord endured the cross was
so that He could provide a way of escape from this present evil world and
take you to a new realm, one where you could grow up and mature in Him. The
way you interpreted things in your past, the way you would walk according
to your outward senses, is now done away and you are learning to walk all
over again, this time by faith. In order for someone to truly mature and be
perfect, which is what that word is referring to, is by knowing our Lord no
more according to the outward, but tapping into the hidden spiritual realm
by the revelation of Christ. People grow up and mature in the realm of the
flesh, but in order to have a perfect understanding of the love of God one
needs to grow up and mature in the realm of the Spirit in order to be
complete.
Colossians 2:8-10 Beware lest any man
spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (9) For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (10) And ye are complete in
him, which is the head of all principality and power: (KJV)
Mankind is limited in their own
understanding, thus the reason why we are told not to lean to it, but
rather submit ourselves to the will of the Lord. The carnal realm, the
carnal mind is limited and unable to comprehend the things of the Spirit,
thus keeping those that stay in that realm limited and unable to tap into
the wisdom of God which is Christ. For those that come to an understanding
of the mystery of the gospel by the revelation of Christ will find the
complete answer to this mystery which will make them complete, mature as
well. Are you tapping into this life giving source for yourself, or are you
still operating in a childish realm surrounded by other childish immature
people as well?
1 John 2:20-21 But ye have an unction
from the Holy One, and ye know all things. (21) I have not written unto you
because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is
of the truth. (KJV)
You know, you can tell children a lot of
stories or fairytales which may get them excited because they are gullible
and not able to see and discern the lie. Many Christians are like that as
well, rather than tap into the Holy One so that they can know all things
(which now includes the spiritual realm, which makes it a complete package)
they stay stuck in the carnal realm which is limited and unable to give
them a complete understanding of God’s plan of salvation.
Colossians 1:9-10 For this cause we also,
since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that
ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding; (10) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto
all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God; (KJV)
It’s time to get out of your head, and
into the heart of God and what He has for you personally. Your true growth
and maturity will only be found in Christ; so that you can grow and mature
in spiritual wisdom and a clear understanding for yourself. You know what
the true meaning of insanity is? It’s people that keep doing the same
things over and over again, and expect different results. Spiritually let
me share what is insanity as well, people that keep limiting God and
putting Him in their denominational boxes, operating according to their
carnal understanding, and then expecting spiritual results. People that
keep doing rituals and things based on the works of the old law and not on
the law of faith, and then wonder why their prayers are not answered.
Ephesians 4:11-15 And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and
teachers; (12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (13) Till we all come in
the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (14)
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; (15) But speaking the
truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ: (KJV)
When you were young and went to school
you had people that were referred to as teachers, who were there to teach
you how to grow up and operate in the carnal realm. As Christians, God has provided
people to help the body of Christ grow up in the spiritual realm and mature
to the stature and fullness which is in Christ. It’s only as you know the
truth will you be set free and no longer tossed around like a child getting
lied to and not having a clue as what to do. It is the duty of those that
are called to the ministry to teach and preach Christ to the congregation,
because without this knowledge of the Son of God there will be no growth or
maturity, but rather a bunch of childish people in something that resembles
more of a daycare center than a Church.
1 John 4:16-18 And we have known and
believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in
love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (17) Herein is our love made perfect,
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are
we in this world. (18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth
out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in
love. (KJV)
Because as He is so are we; and what is
He, He being God, is love. As you learn to grow and mature in the love of
God and have an understanding of who He is and how He operates, the more
that maturity will cast out all fear and any doubts that have dogged you
and tormented you as well.
1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which
is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (KJV)
Something perfect has come and is now
seated at the right hand of the Father ready to deliver His message of love
which will make you whole and complete in Him. Get out of the old, and get
into the love of God that never fails.
