Plain. Simple. Heart to Heart.

RADICALLY Loving Your Enemies!

I’ve been having some radical thoughts lately. Like praying for those who oppose me, that God would pour out on them everything that I desire for myself… only double!

The greatest desire of my heart is to KNOW God… that He would reveal the depths of His heart to me. So I pray that God would reveal Himself to those who oppose me… even deeper than my own revelation!

I want to know the truth… to have a clear understanding, and revelation of God’s Word. So I pray that God would reveal the deep truth of God’s Word to those who oppose me… so abundantly that their revelation exceeds mine… to the point that I can even learn from their overflow!

I want to release such a blast of blessings on my “enemies”, that striking out against me would be the best thing they ever did… because it caused me to BLESS them! I mean amazingly, astoundingly, ridiculously commanding BLESSINGS on them!

Where am I getting this? From seeing and tasting the amazingly ridiculous, over-the-top, crazy love God has for me!

Listen to this: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” [Ephesians 3:17-19] How are we going to comprehend, and know, the love of Christ which is BEYOND knowledge? Only God can do that! Think of it… Christ dwelling in our hearts… filled with ALL the FULLNESS of GOD!!!

I’m reading the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5,6,7 and Luke 7, and seeing that all those ‘crazy’ things that Jesus tells us to do, is JUST WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE TOWARD US!!!! Now if He is truly in us, and we in Him (See John 17), WHAT is going to come out of us??!!

Man, oh man, oh MAN!!! I don’t know what I’m touching here, but I know this is going to end up in a LOT MORE than just a good feeling! And what I’m feeling is overwhelming! Oh God… have MERCY!!!
