Getting it!
“Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and love your neighbor as yourself…” this is the foundational message of the Kingdom of God. To love and then to share that love are the primary values that Christ is calling us to reconnect with. The kingdom of God is a kingdom ruled by love filled with loving, joyful, and peaceful people. It is only through the supernatural healing power of the Holy Spirit that the brokenness of our lives will be healed, so that we might be able to live in the fullness of the Fathers love.

Steps to receiving the healing power of the Fathers love:

1. Open up your heart and let the healing love of the Father trickle into the deep core pain in your soul (James 5:16)

2. Find a safe place with experienced counselors and let the love of the Father minister to you.

Giving it away!
Despite our present condition, the Father is calling us to share the good news of his son Christ Jesus with a confused, hurting world (Matt. 28:19-20). Jesus is sending us out to share and tell the world about his kingdom of love. In fact, the world is waiting for Christians of character and integrity to share the Gospel with power. The Father desire for all believers is to demonstrate Jesus Christ to the world with power evangelism and prophetic evangelism. It is the amazing love of the Father demonstrated through a release of power that draws people to Christ.

Steps to giving away the healing power of the Fathers love:

1. Pray for boldness “Oh Father, help me. Give me boldness and anointing.”

2. When you encounter people, ask the following question “Do you have pain in your body?” Then pray this prayer with them “This healing belongs to me because of what Jesus has done on the cross. I receive my healing as a free gift.”

3. At this point, lead the person in a simple prayer to accept the Christ as Lord and Savior, so that they may experience the healing of the father on the inside.

Now this is evangelism: We gently confront people with the power of God to love and bless people their lives. Then lead them to Jesus. This is the Fathers love in action. This is the Kingdom of God coming to earth, and into the lives of people.
