LEARNING TO OPERATE IN LOVE NO MATTER WHAT

We will be discussing the importance of learning that operating in love does not stop just because things happen that is uncomfortable to us, or because we are hurt, disappointed or feeling helpless or persecuted in our relationships. We need to understand that the people in our lives are not the problem, it is the spirits in them that we are up against, and these principalities have to be dealt with through spiritual things. Anytime we refuse or resist to operate in love, we are operating with the same force as these spirits and therefore giving them full reign over ourselves and others. But when we choose to operate in love, we exhibit light and salt in the earth to those who are of this earth, so that they can see witnesseses of God's love. If we fall into the same reactions of those who persecute us, and don't learn to operate in love, how will anyone know that we are God's Children? 

Matthew 5:11-12 (KJV)

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew 5:11-12 (MSG)

11-12 “Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit Me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
