#058// How do we love well if we don't have real Love living inside of us first?

I know, y'all. It's a loaded question, and a potentially polarizing one at that. But the Bible tells us that human beings have the ability to love one another only because God loved us first (1 John 4:19). He loved us so much, in fact, that he sent his Son to redeem us back to his heart, and then he put his Spirit on the inside of us. And it's God's Spirit that sheds his love abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5). So, seriously . . . how can we even endeavor to love another human being well if we don't have the essence of that kind of real love deep down on the inside of us?

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message with you that I preached at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, a short time ago as we closed out a series on the truth about the spiritual realm and stepped into a series on the truth about love. These two things are connected and this message is the bridge. I truly believe you've got to be Spirit-filled in order to love people well, and I'm using Acts 19:1-20 to show this pivotal principle in God's word.

So if you're ready to explore why it's truly essential to have the Holy Spirit living inside of you as you endeavor to love people well, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
