It isn’t enough to simply acknowledge intellectually that God loves us. To restrict God’s love to the intellect alone will greatly limit our ability to enjoy Him. The raging fire of His love seeks to permeate our mind, our emotions and our will. Then having ravaged our soul, His love will leap from our lives through our actions onto those around you like flames in bushfire.

God wants us to both know and to feel His love. He wants His love to invade every part of our being. A balanced life is one in which we clearly understand His love intellectually, deeply experience His love emotionally and purposefully live out His life volitionally. With a life in such balance, the written Word within guides us subjectively. From out of the centre of His love we are then able to live the carefree abundant life that Jesus came to give us. God wants us to enjoy life. We have a powerful innate drive to drink deeply of life, and thus, of God and to come to the end of our lives saying that we’ve truly lived. That this
urge belongs at the heart of a persons life makes the circle complete. Life is good!

Imagine a life in which the fire of God so consumes you that you lose all inhibitions, a life in which you charge forth confidently into every day with the assurance that God will guarantee success that day. This life isn’t imaginary. It’s real. When we live from the blazing glory of His love for us, that is the life we can live. While we long to live this way, most of us are actually terrified to do so. Confronted with the opportunity to dance with life, we cling to our inhibitions and fears, skulking in the shadows of un-involvement. We may tap our toes, but our feet are firmly glued to our chairs, we aren’t easily persuaded to get up and dance. There is an abundant life for the taking for those who have the assurance
of God’s unconditional love and commitment to us.

Next month we all have the opportunity to plunge into a exciting venture, something to get the blood pumping, to see us get out from behind the safety of our chairs and neat little rows. The Conscious Living Expo— Oct 18- 21. Last year many of us did venture out to see God move miraculously among us as we prayed for the lost, broken, sick and hurting.
WE NEED THE BRAVE TO STAND UP AGAIN. Please see Luke, sign up and get involved in releasing the life and love of God to others.
