The Most Excellent Way. That is the description that Paul gave regarding Love’s path.
This course will start to reveal to you to truth of Paul's description. God’s Love will grow inside of you and you will discover that nothing compares to its power - not your spouse, your ambitions, your dreams, your children, your possessions - nothing compares. You will learn how to surrender to His Love over all else. Even now we pray the Holy Spirit tells you, “Do not fear this journey. It is your destiny as a son or daughter - To know His Love and to give it away.”
Week 1 - Receiving patience and discovering God's peace. Peace is the first fruit of Love. It is a Kingdom feeling that overwhelms your mind and heart and overcomes every trouble as you rest in God. It surpasses human comprehension. It grows within us as we learn to live from God’s patience over our own lives. You will be guided and challenged to reflect on your own life in regards to God’s patience over you. This will have a profound impact upon your inner world, specifically your mind and heart. It will train you to live from peace instead of fear, anger, anxiety, and worry.
Week 2 - Giving patience to others and becoming a peacemaker. This will become a part of your identity as you learn to stand in patience in the midst of your own delay, trouble, or suffering. This causes you to shine brightly in the midst of your own troubles. You will also learn how to invite others into the journey of patience. You will be able to guide people out of their chaos and fear. “Blessed are the Peacemakers”. To this you were called and so you will learn how to practice being this transformational person.
Week 3 - Receiving God's kindness and discovering his compassion for you. Compassion and kindness is what our Father pours over you in your need and weakness. This beautiful gift of Love in our need makes us confident in the goodness of God. Kindness also humbles us profoundly and has transformational power to lead us to repentance and new life. This is to set you free from any fear or doubt regarding the Father’s Love of you - especially and specifically in your weakness. You will become confident and bold as you see his compassionate action over your needs, even though you are imperfect.
Week 4 - Giving kindness to others through compassionate action. As Christ has loved you, you will learn to see clear opportunities to pour that same compassion out for others in their need and weakness. As we serve others in their weakness, we also practice patience and let God do what we can’t - transform lives. This is the power of the Gospel of Christ to lead people to true conversion because they are loved well, even in their weakness. It is here that you embrace the joyful life of a servant and discover the power of that identity. It is no small thing to serve. Christ did it for us and compassion empowers us to do it for others. Remember, we are learning to follow Him, to be like Him; and that is why LoveWorks.
Week 5 - The Guardians of Our Flesh. Paul exposes a small army which has only one purpose - to protect our flesh. These Guardians are crafty and powerful. They deceive us and position us to resist the Love of God. They work diligently to keep us from receiving God's love with thousands of lies. They also work tirelessly to keep us from authentically loving others. The reason for their ceaseless attacks on love is to protect our flesh. The Guardians know that when we choose to receive God's Love or give it away, a part of our flesh must die. They don't want to die so they are anchored deep inside to resist. Here they are exposed and you are empowered to resist and defeat them.
Week 6 - Receiving Bears All Things and tasting the mercy of God. Mercy is the power of God's nature to show love when it is least deserved. This impacts our hearts greatly when we recognize we should be judged and deserve punishment but instead we experience mercy. This is so transformational when we actually take time to receive it in our sinfulness. The idea of a love so beautiful that it is beyond description and that it wants to come into my darkness, filth, rebellion, and wickedness and love me is truly devastating. This love will humble you to the core and begin the gentle, yet powerful work of raising you back up to new life.
Week 7 - Giving Bears All Things and learning to die for the sake of another. As you have received "Bears All Things" from the Father, now you must learn to give this powerful love to others. The command to be merciful cannot be ignored, in fact, it must be obeyed fully and authentically. It is here that you will shine the brightest as a son or daughter of God. Mercy is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of the Kingdom. You will discover how to pick this weapon up with skill and use it for the glory of God.
Week 8 - Receiving Believes All Things and standing in the truth of who you are as a chosen son or daughter of God. Belief is about your identity. You cannot know the truth of who you are unless you know the One who created you. He is the author of you and therefore knows fully your identity. Exploring this is powerful and transformational as you learn to know and stand in the truth of your identity as a son or daughter of God.
Week 9 - Giving Believes All Things as you begin to see what is true and good about others and declare it over them. Our words are powerful and they can destroy or create. Learning to speak belief is partnering with the nature of God to create life and to speak life into others. Here you will learn how to powerfully bring life to others, to cut away lies that make them slaves to sin, and to empower them towards their freedom.
Week 10 - Receiving Hopes All Things empowers you to see and connect with your destiny or your purpose in Christ. The power of this weapon is beyond comprehension because it empowers you to face despair and overwhelming darkness of your own sinfulness overcome it! You were destined to face lies and impossible situations set up against your own purpose and overcome them in the power of hope.
Week 11 - Giving Hopes All Things enables you to enter the deepest darkness of another's broken purpose and plant seeds of light. Hope fills people with supernatural strength so they can stand up in their despair and overcome it! Here is when you become a Liberator to captives as they are set free from their prisons of hopelessness.
Week 12 - Receiving Endures All Things is the powerful position we discover regarding our Father's strength. He fulfills His promise to us, to not leave us or forsake us. We taste this fullness of love and it explodes inside us with joy and confidence. We know our Father! We are filled with our Father and the reality of this shines brightly upon us in all things as we abide in Him.
Week 13 - Giving Endures All Things becomes the salt and light of God revealed through your life. You shine brightly and people experience that you overcome daily troubles both common and extreme. They see that you are filled with joy and peace even in the midst of incredible pain and tragedy! They see you living in the Kingdom of God and creating the Kingdom of God. Here is when you can now authentically make disciples because you know how to abide and walk in the power of God's nature - His unfailing love.
