KNOWING GOD'S LOVE, PERSONALLY, IS WHAT TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE

             

TRANSFORMING LOVE

“…not by works…” (Ephesians 2:9). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…every one that loveth …. KNOWETH God. He that loveth NOT KNOWETH NOT God; for God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). 

*

God comes into the most intimate place: the heart. “…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son (the living Word) “INTO” [y]OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…Jesus Christ (the Word of God) is in you (in your heart)…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).

God comes into the most intimate place to fellowship with each individual person, forever: also the heart. “...Look! [God stands]... at the door [of their hearts] and knock. If you (HIS people) hear [his] voice and open the door, [God]... will come in, and [they] will share a meal together as friends (forever)...” (Revelations 3:20 NLT).

God wants his people to KNOW him, personally. Of all the things available, he PLANTS “his Word” within the hearts of HIS PEOPLE.

God KNOWS his people. “...O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know everything I do…” (Psalms 139:1-6 NLT). “..You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways…” (Psalm 139:1-3 KJV).

“...Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me .Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee...” (Psalms 139:7-12 KJV).

“…Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account…” (Hebrews 4:13 NIV). “…For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings…” (Job 34:21 KJV).

God’s people usually DON’T “KNOW” him. They know ABOUT him, but they don’t know him, intimately or through experience. “…God has sent forth ...His Son (the living Word) “INTO” [y]OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…He (Jesus, the Word) has revealed God to us…” (John 1:18 NLT). “… For the Lord (Jesus, the Word) ...reveals [God’s]... thoughts to mankind…” (Amos 4:13 NLT).

God says: “…… I am God, and there is none like me…" (Isaiah 46:9-10 KJV). “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). indw  “… [God also says to his people, I AM] … Your rock and Your fortress, your deliverer, Your GOD, Your rock, in whom [you] … take refuge; Your shield and the horn of Your salvation, YOUR stronghold.…" (Psalms 18:3 NASB).

“ …[God, the Holy Spirit]... will PUT [his] SPIRIT in [his people] and [they] will LIVE …Then [they] will know that I the Lord (god’s word, has) ...spoken, and [God, the Holy Spirit has restored spiritual life to them], declares the Lord...’” (Ezekiel 37 NIV).  “…so [his people] will know that [GOD “IS”] the Lord…” (Exodus 10:1-2 NLT). “…Then [his people] will know that [GOD is] the Lord your God…’” (Exodus 16:12 NLT). “…Behold… [God is WITH his people] and … WILL NOT LEAVE … [them] …." (Genesis 28:15 ASV).

This kind of knowing is different from a collection of information you possess about somebody or that comes from second-hand knowledge.

God loves his people and desired to be reconciled to them so he could enjoy a close intimate YADA relationship that included fellowship, sharing meals, and intimate conversation, forever. “...I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends...” (Revelations 3:20 NLT).

The Apostle said: “… everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus [our]… Lord...” (Philippians 3:8 NLT). “…For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ (the living, revelation knowledge of God, the Holy Spirit...” (Philippians 3:8 NLT). “...Whom have I in heaven but You(God, the Holy Spirit)? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth...” (Psalm 73:25 NASB).

It’s the kind of “knowing” gained from experiencing God first-hand or by spending a colossal amount of time with HIM. “…the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus [our]… Lord...” (Philippians 3:8 NLT). “...those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!...” (Jeremiah 9:23-24 NLT).

God makes it KNOWN or REVEALS, to his people, the “…the riches of his glory (his presence, his goodness, and his working power) in Christ Jesus (his Word)….” (Philippians 4:19 KJV). , “… [God, through Christ]… freely give [his people] all things…” (Romans 8:32 KJV). “…God will supply all [his people’s need]… according to His riches in glory (in his presence, goodness, and working power) in Christ Jesus (his word that he sent into their hearts)…” (Philippians 4:19 NASB).  “ … [God’s people] have this treasure (Jesus, the LIGHT, his working POWER, the Word, the indwelling Holy Spirit, etc.,) “[with]in” earthen vessels…” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJV).

Jesus expressed he had that kind of knowing/oneness, covenant relationship with his Father. He said, “…the Father knows me and I know the Father…” (John 10:15 ASV).  

Jesus demonstrates that a covenant relationship with God, the Holy Spirit is one of intimate knowledge of one another. Getting to KNOW God, through Jesus, his LIVING Word, is an experience with eternal life. “...This is eternal life that they might know thee, the only True God and Jesus Christ, whom God has sent…” (John 17:3 KJV).

Also, "...This (opportunity to know God, intimately) is the work of God (the Holy Spirit), that ye believe on Him (so you will trust in and depend upon Jesus, the Word) whom he (God, the Holy Spirit) hath sent...” (John 6:29 KJV).

It’s easier to trust in and depend upon someone YOU KNOW, on some level, than someone you don’t know at all.

The covenant relationship with God, the Holy Spirit is meant to be founded and built upon FAITH. "... Without faith (without trust and dependence upon God) it is IMPOSSIBLE to please [him]; for he (she) that cometh to God must believe that he is [that he is who he REVEALS himself to be through Jesus, HIS living Word]..." (Hebrews 11:6 KJV).

Jesus and God, the Holy Spirit were SO CLOSE and shared such intimate knowledge of one another HE said, with confidence, "...I and the Father are one..." (John 10:30).

Let’s talk, briefly, about the blood covenants in the Old Testament in order to provide a picture of why the YADA relationship is meant to be close, intimate, and personal.

Since one of the meanings of YADA is to “enter into (blood) covenant with,” it will offer an understanding of why it is a binding agreement between the REDEEMED and God, the Holy Spirit.  

The blood covenants were unbreakable agreements that entailed promises made between two parties.

During historical times an animal was sawn into two pieces, laid into rows so the parties could walk between them in order to “seal” the covenant.

When the parties walked between the bloodied animals they were making an oath that meant they would die like these animals if they didn’t keep the covenant.“...Those who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces. The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals...” (Jeremiah 34:18-20 ASV).

The cutting in half of animals may seem unpleasant, but it was their type of legal system per se for those times and in that context. The process was important for legitimizing the covenant.

The parties making the covenant were committing to an “oneness” relationship with each other which meant all they had or possessed in life was available to the other upon demand.

In other words, what belonged to one party in the blood covenant equally belonged to the other party in the covenant. 

The blood covenant obligated both parties to this type of commitment to each other for life and could only be broken if one of the parties die.

If either party refused to keep their covenant commitment between them; they would die a terrible death and possibly along with his or her entire, extended family.

Blood covenants were serious. God, historically, allowed his chosen people to be wiped out when they willingly and voluntarily broke the covenant relationship with him. “….they chose to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed by their [own] ...sin. …” (Psalms 106:42-48 NLT).

In the Old Testament, the YADA relationship was a blood covenant between God and his chosen people, Israel. . “….He remembered his covenant with them …” (Psalms 106:42-48 NLT).“…[MY PEOPLE] ... broke [THEIR] ... covenant ..[WITH ME], though I (GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT) loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord…” (Jeremiah 31:32 NASB).

“…who ...hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing…” (Hebrews 10:26-31 NASB).

The responsibilities and promises, of the covenant, between God, the Holy Spirit and HIS people were clear. God, the Holy Spirit was the husbandman and Caregiver while his people were his covenant companions.

However, his people broke the blood covenant many times. “…. Again and again he rescued them, but they chose to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed by their sin. Even so, he pitied them in their distress and listened to their cries. He remembered his covenant with them and relented because of his unfailing love. He even caused their captors to treat them with kindness. Save us, O Lord our God! Gather us back from among the nations, so we can thank your holy name and rejoice and praise you. Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives from everlasting to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord!” (Psalms 106:42-48 NLT).

“…He remembered his covenant with them and relented because of his unfailing love…” (Psalms 106:42-48 NLT).

“…The Lord loves His people …” (2 Chronicles 2:11 NASB). “…For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more…" (Hebrews 8:12 NIV). His “…love covereth a multitude of sins…” (Proverbs 10:12, 1 Peter 4:8 ASV).

“….If they sin against you—you might become angry with them and “let” their enemies conquer them and take them captive to their land far away or near…” (1 Kings 8:46 NLT).

“…They defiled themselves by their evil deeds, and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight. That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people, and he abhorred his own special possession. He handed them over to pagan nations, and they were ruled by those who hated them. Their enemies crushed them and brought them under their cruel power. Again and again he rescued them, but they chose to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed by their sin…” (Psalm 106:39-43 NLT).

“…[In HIS] ... love and in His mercy He redeemed them (again)…” (Isaiah 63:9 NASB). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).

In the New Testament, the YADA relationship is still a blood covenant between God and the HIS people. However, this NEW covenant is made between Jesus and God, the Holy Spirit.

God’s people enter into the covenant relationship with God, the Holy Spirit, through Jesus. Jesus becomes THEIR representative in the YADA relationship with God, the Holy Spirit.

A blood covenant is usually between two parties however, one or both of those parties can be a representative of a group of people or an entire family.

If one of the parties of the blood covenant is a representative of a group of people he becomes the GUARANTEE that the promises and responsibilities will be KEPT for the entire group.

Having a representative was also a common blood covenant practice. This representative acted on behalf of everyone in the entire group.

The representative was considered “THE” voice and “THE” guarantee for each and every individual member of the group.

Each and every individual member, connected with or joined to him, was also represented in the covenant “through” him.”

Therefore, when the representative walked through the bloodied bodies, he sealed the blood covenant for each and every member of the entire group he represented.

The representative walks through the slain animals and seals the oath between their group and the other party or parties. This is a very basic explanation of a blood covenant.

Jesus is both the representative and slain substitute in the covenant relationship with God.

Jesus is the slain, Lamb of God, that was killed in your place and therefore the substitute for your sins.

In addition, Jesus’ sacrificial death paid the penalty for your sins, so you can go freely into the covenant relationship with God.

God, the Holy Spirit, was reconciled to humanity and, through Jesus HIS people were given a way BACK to God. “…There is … one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).  “...He loves the people…” (Deuteronomy 33:3 NASB).

“… I will bring them home again,” says the Lord….” (HOSEA 11 NLT).

“...Christ also died for sins ONCE for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us...[BACK]... to God...” (1 Peter 3:18 NASB).

Jesus’ death was like the death of the slain animals in the Old Testament blood covenants. “…Christ …died for sins ONCE for all…” (1 Peter 3:18 NASB). “…the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV).  “…he (Jesus) by the grace of God should taste death for every man (woman)…” (Hebrews 3:9 KJV). “…He [became]… the atoning sacrifice for [y]our sins…” (1 John 2:2 NIV).   ^“…The life of the flesh is in the blood …it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul…” (Leviticus 17:11 KJV). Jesus said, “This is my blood of the covenant…” (Matthew 26:28 KJV).

His blood is now the blood of the new covenant, which is an everlasting covenant. “...This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:28 KJV).

 “... I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them...” (Ezekiel 37:26).

 Jesus as our substitute for sin allows us to enter into an everlasting covenant relationship with God. Jesus, who knew no sin, became our sin and we become his righteousness in God’s sight “… he [bore] ... all their sins…” (Isaiah 53:11 NLT).  “...Christ also died for sins once for all...” (1 Peter 3:18 NASB). “...the just for the unjust...” (1 Peter 3:18 NASB). “…HE... became [spiritually] poor, that ye through his poverty might be [spiritually] RICH…” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV

Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of God, who is slain for the sins of God’s people and his covenant companions. “…the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world (all those who choose to become his covenant people)...” (John 1:29 KJV).  

Jesus is also the representative for the redeemed and becomes their guarantee for a better covenant relationship with God, the Holy Spirit. “…Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant…” (Hebrews 7:22 NIV).

Jesus enters the relationship with God and we, those who are “in” Christ, enter the relationship too. “… My righteous servant (Jesus, God’s PLAN of SALVATION) ... [made]... it possible for many to be counted righteous,…” (Isaiah 53:11 NLT).  

“...And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach...” (Colossians 1:21-23 NLT).

“… [God, the Holy Spirit, sent the ] …one … who [could REconcile] God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus …” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).

“…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son (his Word, his indwelling Spirit, his LIGHT, his working POWER, the GOOD seed, etc.,) “INTO” [THE] HEARTS [OF THE REDEEMED]…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…God, ...reconciled [the redeemed soul]... to himself through Christ …” (2 Corinthians 5:18 NIV). “...[The redeemed soul is]... reconciled to God by the death of his Son...” (Romans 5:10 KJV). “…the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world (all those who choose to become his covenant people)...” (John 1:29 KJV).  

Now, through Christ, God’s people are enabled and empowered to keep the promises, responsibilities, and oaths within the covenant because “…Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant…” (Hebrews 7:22 NIV).

Jesus said, "...I and my Father are [not simply close, but]…one..." (John 10:30 KJV).  

God’s people can say the same thing too. God’s people can now enjoy the same “oneness” covenant relationship that Jesus had with God, the Holy Spirit. “…that they may all be one (Spirit); even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us…” (John 17:21-23 NASB). “…He (she) that is joined unto the Lord (Jesus, his LIVING Word) is ONE SPIRIT…[with God, again]...”  (1 Corinthian 6:17 KJV).

Jesus didn’t say he and his Father were close, but he said they were “one.” Close implies a nearness to, but “one” implies a single unity or an undivided whole. "...I and my Father are [not simply close, but]…one..." (John 10:30 KJV). 

In Hebrew, oneness (echadh) defines a “unity” perhaps a “covenant unity” unique, first and foremost, to the one true God. “…THERE ARE THREE that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy [Spirit]: and THESE THREE ARE ONE.…” (1 John 5:6-8 KJV). “...The Lord our God is one Lord...” (Deuteronomy 6:4)

Yet God allows humans, through faith in Christ, to experience the covenant unity, with HIM, too. His people can also say, “… I and my Father are one…” just like Jesus (John 10:30). “…that they may all be one (Spirit)...in Us…” (John 17:21-23 NASB). “…In this world [God’s people] are like Jesus…” (1 John 4:17 NIV).

 If “oneness” is an unique “covenant unity” to God, then “oneness” is holy. This holy “oneness” is the joining of man’s spirit/soul and God’s Holy Spirit. “...[God’s Holy] Spirit joins with our spirit(or our soul) to affirm that we are God’s children...” (Romans 8:16). “…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…God has given [you] his Spirit as PROOF that [you]… live (are alive) in him and he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). Therefore, “…Jesus Christ is IN YOU…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…He that is joined unto the LORD is ONE SPIRIT…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV).

What God joins together, “…let no one separate…” (Matthew 10:9 ASV). The oneness of the “covenant unity,” established by God, the Holy Spirit informs his people why these UNIONS were NOT meant to be BROKEN; except by death.

“Covenant Unity” is a holy, spiritual bond, created by God, but made with mankind.

Therefore, God’s people are meant to experience and enjoy an oneness, “covenant unity” relationship with God, the Holy Spirit through Christ that’s unbreakable, except by spiritual death. “... I (God, the Holy Spirit) will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them...” (Ezekiel 37:26). HOWEVER, “ for years on end my people have FORGOTten ME…” (Jeremiah 2:32 NLT). “…They ABANDONED the Lord… they turned their backs on him….” (2 Chronicles 29:6 NLT). “…They kept doing whatever they wanted…” (Jeremiah 7:24 NLT).

“…They (MY PEOPLE) broke [THEIR] ... covenant [WITH ME], though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord…” (Jeremiah 31:32 NASB).

“…If [God’s people] are unfaithful [to the covenant relationship], he [God, the Holy Spirit]... remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT). 

“…Choose you this day whom ye will serve….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV). “... It was for freedom that Christ set us free...” (Galatians 5:1 NASB).

 “… I have set before you (god’s people) life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore [“YOU”]...choose life (the life “you” want)…” (Deuteronomy 30:19). “…Choose you this day whom ye will serve….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV).

“…Behold, I AM WITH… [YOU] and … I WILL NOT LEAVE … [YOU] …." (Genesis 28:15 ASV).  If God NEVER leaves you, who LEFT or DEPARTED in Revelation 2:4? “…. THOU HAST “LEFT” THY FIRST LOVE….” (REVELATION 2:4 KJV).

. “... If [god’s people]... sin willfully AFTER... [they] have received the knowledge of THE TRUTH, there remaineth NO more sacrifice for sins...” (Hebrews 10:26 KJV).  “... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL [choose to] ... DEPART FROM the FAITH!!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV).

“...For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them...” (2 Peter 2:20-23 NASB). “…[THEIR SINS will]... cut you off from God…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT). “…[Their]... INIQUITIES … separated … [them and their] God…” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). “…[God’s people] have been cut off from Christ! [They] have fallen away from God’s GRACE…” (Galatians 5:4 NLT). “...HE THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE UNTO THE END SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew 24:13 KJV).

. “...For if, after they have escaped  ... they are again entangled in them (their former sinful lifestyles) ... it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment ... It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire...” (2 Peter 2:20-23 NASB).

Jesus was the LIVING example of having a YADA relationship with God, the Holy Spirit. "...I and my Father are [not simply close, but]…one..." (John 10:30 KJV).   

God’s people are to come to “know” God so intimately - through the oneness, “covenant unity” relationship - that others can witness God’s glory “in” and “through” them (witness his presence, goodness, and working power). “…Anyone who has seen me (Jesus, God’s people, his witnesses) has seen the Father (his presence, his goodness, and his working power)…” (John 14:9b NIV).

God is love and he establishes the “covenant unity” relationship with HIS people through LOVE and a SPIRITUAL connection.  “…Love [God, the Holy Spirit]—[is], the perfect bond of unity” (Colossians 3:14 NASB). “…He that is joined unto the LORD is ONE SPIRIT…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV).

“…God has given [you] his Spirit as PROOF that [you]… live (are alive) in him and he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). Therefore, “…Jesus Christ is IN YOU…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).

I started a YADA counseling ministry that helps strengthened the oneness, “covenant unity” relationship between God through Christ and the Believer.

YADA therapy is a spiritual form of therapy in which the counselor and client work on strengthening the YADA relationship.

The purpose of YADA counseling is to build trust in and dependency upon on the enabling power of the indwelling Holy Spirit by exercising a faith-filled response to the finished work of Christ on the Cross as a way to address and process through personal issues and concerns. 

The YADA Counselor works together with the client/believer through his/her covenant relationship with God through Christ.

The purpose of this method is to discover what the key issues are and to begin addressing those issues in light of the finished work of Christ on the cross in practical and transforming ways.

Prayer is also offered by the counselor to invite the Holy Spirit into the session and to help the client/believer to learn and practice discussing primary issues and concerns with God who “IS” the answer.

Problems and concerns are acknowledged, revealed, and discussed in order to discover God’s provisions to meet those needs.

YADA counselling uses an approach in which the counselor helps the client/believer trust in and depend upon the covenant relationship with God to provide for each and every NEED.

This is done by enhancing one’s understanding of how beliefs, feelings, interests, self-identity, and thoughts, outside of God’s holy standards, can negatively impact an individual’s Christ-likeness. Especially, as it relates to their responses to life’s issues and concerns.

Hopefully the client/believer will learn about his or her perceptions that don’t line up with biblical truths or the finished work of Christ. In addition, they will be able to see how distorted/sinful thinking impacts how he or she reacts to life’s issues and concerns.

These issues and concerns are usually rooted in the past thought processes. Further, they are revealed through an individual’s continual behavior patterns and speech patterns pre-salvation.

YADA therapy is based on the finished work of Christ on the cross and intends to aid the believer in authentically becoming the “new creature” in Christ Jesus through real-life and practical experience.

Hopefully this book will help establish, renew, strengthen, revive, develop, grow, deepen, expand, or build a more intimate “covenant unity” relationship with God, the Holy Spirit that TRANSFORMS the lives of God’s people for HIS GLORY.

It is my prayer this book will also help God’s people see how much God loves them. God’s love for his redeemed people is not like any other love they will ever experience. It is a love that never changes, never fails and is everlasting.  

When God’s people respond by God-given faith to HIS love it will transform their lives completely and forever. No one can truly be in a YADA with God, the Holy Spirit and stay the same.

It is my prayer that ALL of God’s people begin to truly experience a deeper YADA by focusing on and committing to the “covenant unity” relationship with God as a priority in the Christian journey.

God has already proven he desires to become “one” with his people.  His plan of SALVATION is the open door or the open invitation to draw or direct HIS people closer to his divine love.

Becoming intimately acquainted with God, the Holy Spirit, through Jesus, his LIVING Word, planted into the hearts of his people, IS “HOW GOD’s LOVE begins to TRANSFORM the lives of the REDEEMED.

This book is just a small aid and does not intend to take the place of direct engagement with the Living God, but hopefully it will strengthen your personal experience with HIM.

I called this chapter the “INTRODUCTION” because God is LOVE and it is HIS “divine” LOVE that will “miraculously” TRANSFORM your life FOREVER.
