Scripture: Mark 12:28-32
Evangelist Emeritus: Dr. Tony Roach, Sr.
- The Love for God is the main thing in our life. It’s absolutely essential. Mark 12:28-32
- Deuteronomy 6:9
- We should love the Lord our God with all 100%
- New self love also includes intimacy
- Into-Me-See
- The intimacy with God is where the Holy Spirit comes in
- When you don’t have intimacy with God, you rob God
- Your single most important relationship with God is the most important thing on Earth
- It’s more than just love, it’s also intimacy
- What’s the main thing in your life?
- Jesus taught that the main thing in our life is intimacy in our single most important relationship with God
- God wants to see you, know you, trust Him, and learn how to love him with all of your heart, mind, strength
- 100% Principle You get back what you give
- Depending on how much you are willing to give is how much you will get back in return
- If you want 100% love, you have to give it
- The circular process of loving God evolves into a love for yourself and every significant relationship in your life
- If you don’t learn how to love God, you won’t be able to love yourself
- Without love for God you can’t get to intimacy
- You can’t experience intimacy without being vulnerable
- Vulnerability leads to intimacy and you have to have trust to have both
- If you don’t trust the leading of the Holy Spirit is hinders your relationship with God
- New Self Loves demands that you seek refuge in the single most important relationship with God so you can love other people
- 1 John 4:7-8
- Value orientations-beliefs, values, attitudes of a particular person
- The core values are the values of Jesus
- True love comes from God who is love.
- Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, strength
- Satan works us but you need to turn withdrawals into deposits
- People who allow fear to run their lives can’t experience love intimacy because they can’t be open and vulnerable.
- Fear brings torment that robs relationships which is why we need New Self Love
- You gotta be willing to have the faith to love God with all your heart
- Sometimes the relationship you have with a person, God can put them in your life to fulfill His purpose with them
- We all need the love and have to work to give 100%, to be vulnerable, and trust in our intimacy
