You’re Not Just Called to Love, You Are Love | The Expression of Love | Matthew 5:44 & Proverbs 25:21-22

In Part 17 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches from Matthew 5:44 and Proverbs 25:21-22 (NIV) to explain a foundational truth: if God is love and you are His image, then you don’t just love—you are love. Real love isn’t measured by reciprocation but by identity. When you withhold love because someone didn’t return it, you’ve already stepped outside of your assignment. The believer’s nature as love is not only a reflection of God—it’s also a weapon that defeats darkness. This episode challenges you to live from who you are, not how others respond.

Now This Is What The Lord Is Trying To Tell Us
That The Fundamental Thing Of Love Is Not Love Being Reciprocal
You Are Loving Not Because You Want To Be Loved Back
But Because That Is The Nature Of God Being Embedded In You
If Jesus Was Looking For Love Back
He Wouldn't Have Died For Us
If Jesus Was Looking That Every Measure Of Love He Has For Us
We Are To Return It In The Same Measure He's Giving Us
That We Should Say That Oh
This Is My Energy You Need To Match My Energy
You Would Find Out That Jesus
Christ Would Not Be Able To Express Who God Is
Sometimes When You Are Expressing Who God Is
Our Major Enemy Is The Devil
And So He Will Make You Feel Like Human Beings
That 
You Are Showing Christ To Should Also Come With A Kind Of Energy
So That Your Work Will Be Easy
But I Am Telling You
This Work That We Are Doing Is Not Because We Want To Do It
But Because That Is Who We Are
So I'm Not Going To Show Love Because I Have Love
I Am Showing Love Because I Am Love
So If Truly Jesus Or God Is Love And We Are His Image
Naturally We Just Don't Have Love
We Are Love
If There Is Anything That Fights Your Love Battle
Say Oh
This Person Has Fought Against Me
This Person Has Stood Against Me In Several Ways
(Praying In The Spirit)
And So I'm Going To Show Him
I'm Going To Do This I'm Going To Do That
I'm Going To Do This You'll Realize That Every Evil Thing You Are Doing
Because You Didn't Get Love
Is Proof That You Are Not Love
Because There Is One Feature Of Love That I Love So Much
We Are A Generation Today
That We Feel Like Expressing Christ Should Be Within The Confines
Of Our Liberation Can You Imagine A Man Of Love Saying That
Because They Are Persecuting Me
These People Do Not Deserve To Hear The Word Of God From Me
Who Called You Then Who Are You Then
When You Lose Touch Of Yourself
You Automatically Lose Assignment
We Express Love Because We Are Love
We Don't Express Love Because We Have Love
Because I've Read In Proverbs Chapter 21
That Means Even Your Nature As Love Is A Weapon
It's A Weapon That Could Defeat The Enemy
You Don't Have To Be Wicked To Defeat The Enemy
You Just Have To Be Lovable To Defeat The Enemy
It's Not A Trick It Is A Reality
It Is My Nature Once I Am Love
The Enemy Cannot Defeat Me
One Of The Strongest Feature We Can Have As Christians
Who Want To Live As The Image Of God
Is Love To Tell You The Truth
The One You Owe Assignment To Is The Most Annoying Person On Earth
To You
It Will Take Your Nature Of Love To Express That
It's Not About You Loving God
You Loving God Everybody Can Claim
But The Proof That You Love God Is Not Because You Have Love
It's Because You Are Love
And You'll Be Able To Express A Kind Of Love That You Receive From God
To Human Beings To This Annoying Human Beings We Have On Earth
I Pray For You In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Love As Your Nature Will Not Be Corrupted
In The Mighty Name Of Jesus Christ
I Pray Everything That Is Affecting Your Heart
That Makes You To Limit The Expression Of The God Love Upon The Earth
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
That Thing Is Being Taken Off Now
And Then The Love Of God Will Fill Your Heart
In The Precious Name Of Jesus Christ
