Love
DWIGHT:
Hi brothers and sisters,
I hope all of you have had the chance to listen to the audio from last Sunday on love. This has been one of the most liberating truths that the Lord has revealed to us through Ray in some time. This is one of those pearls that has been hidden for thousands of years and how blessed are we to hear it in our lifetime. Personally, I didn't know how to love my enemies; I didn't know how to love someone who torchers people and sends them to gas chambers or any other evil that one can imagine, but now I see. I thought that I had to love them like I love you (my brothers and sisters).
I must admit, last week when we had this disscussion on love, most of us, including me, completely missed the mark. I for one, pray for your forgiveness. Much hurt could have been avoided, but then again, God revealed this to us in His own time and for His own good pleasure. Maybe it took this kind of trial to bring out this pearl of great price.
If we meditae on this and asked God to continue to reveal more and more of His (agape and phileo), it will have a profound affect on all of us here at the forum. May God bless us all!
In Him,
Dwight

Dwight,
Great post. I just wanted to say that I know that I am far from where I need to be when it comes to loving others that are well so difficult to love. Yet, I am thankful that Our God does not love us all in the same way we love eachother. I am glad that we have the pure example of God's love. Truly this is something that we should all strive for, I am striving for it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. And yes, it was a great study. ;D
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

Hello Dwight
Like you, I too was struggling with how to love our enemies! I was under the torture of the teaching to be polite always even to Satan himself! This painful teaching and struggle to be free was in my soul and was why I opened the Please pass the Salt thread!
I could see that Ray is free from this heresy of being poilite and accomodating to Satan. Now I can see how Ray responds to his detractors with Agape one way love and desire direction rebuke and exhortation that they repent and not in Phileo love! NOW I CAN SEE BETTER! I wanted to see better! What a blessed touch of sight this teaching on love brings!
Now I can agape Satan and hold back Phileo love desiring that all spirits of wickedness in high places also repent and this can be done in a spirit of love not anger, self righteousness and pride but in love....agape love knowing that God will bring to repentance and judgment all wickedness and that they too will repent and be saved!
The audio on Marriage and the vocal visibility of Ray's attitude of Agape that rendered his ability to correct the erroneous ideas of the person he addressed without anger, bitterness or pride in Ray, was truly awesome for me to experience! How often do we feel that righteous indignation should hold bitterness and pride when in fact it is holy and pure emotion that is equal to Jesus whipping the traders and over turning tables in the God’s house of prayer. There was no defeatist attitude in Jesus. No self-suicide attempt to right the wrongs but just pure holy anger that for us humans is so often laced with a sense of moral self-righteousness and pride.
This teaching on love releases sight and authority in Spirit and in His truth and praise for Jesus Christ Himself!
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

Arcturus,
What an awesome and great post this was. I am glad that I know that Jesus did get angry in a holy and righteous way. Thanks for posting this.

Hey Guys, I have not heard this info on Love that Ray put out last Sunday! My audio is messed up on my PC and am waitnig to get it fixed tomorow, hopefully then I can hear it and then respond back. I hope that i didn't mislead others here with the 'Agape' definition. I guess I have never heard of any other definition except for Agape to mean 'unconditional love'. I want to get this cleared up in my mind, as I think that to know how to love poperly in the most important thing that we believers shoulkd be doing to live that life that we were brought here to exemplify. I always remember my mother telling me that if I had nothing good to say, then I should not say anything at all. Thgis always bothered me for some reason.
So, Arcturus, how does that saying relate to what all you said? I'm a bit confused here; what is the proper way to show Gods' love, as this is what I care about the most.
nite, nite! 8). I'll talk with you all minania' ('tomorrow' in Spanish), Lord willing :D
