Mike Bickle emphasizes the supremacy of God's love in his sermon, urging the congregation to prioritize love for God, love for one another, and love for the lost. He reflects on the waning focus on love within the community and calls for a return to the first commandment, which is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. Bickle highlights that love is not just an attribute of God but the very essence of His being, and it should be the foundation of all theology and ministry. He encourages believers to engage in a personal relationship with God, expressing love through simple prayers and heartfelt devotion. Ultimately, Bickle's message is a call to experience and share the transformative power of God's love in every aspect of life.

Again, we're just going to highlight a few of the points. I want to tell a few stories that I don't have on the notes, but I want to give you some material to read on your own time. Well, Daniel, he said that by the grace of God and good stewardship, this thing is working, I want to add one more point, and an amazing CEO. So, grace of God, good stewardship, and an amazing CEO. Let's pray. Father, I thank you for all that you've done in our midst. And Lord, I thank you for who you are and the word that you've given your people as the supreme gift. We love your word. We ask that you would reveal yourself to us and transform us into your likeness just by hearing simple truths from your word, in Jesus' name, amen. Well, I'm calling this short exhortation, The Supremacy of God's Love. Now, that's kind of obvious what that means, but it's a bigger subject than meets the eye. It's a very simple point at first glance, but it's a very weighty, vast, and necessary subject. Now, as a director of the missions base here, I have noticed in the last six months or so that the focus and emphasis on the first commandment and the issue of love has waned. And I'm not overly concerned, but I want to strengthen it back. I remember over the years, that was always front and center, but recently, and I guess in all the rigors of all the activity, I have found the subject of love, God's love for us, our love for God, our love for one another, has a little bit moving to the back. And so I'm standing here as a shepherd, and I'm saying, we need to put it absolutely central at the front. And some time will pass, and we'll need to do this again. First Corinthians 13, 13 says, love is the greatest. It's the greatest of everything. The Bible defines it as the greatest virtue, but not only that, it's the greatest response we can give to God is love. Let's look at paragraph A just a little bit. It's the core message of the kingdom of God. It is the chief attitude of the people of the kingdom of God. It is the premier plumb line of which we understand the kingdom, of which we measure all of our labor in the kingdom. There is nothing greater than this from a biblical point of view. It defines how we understand and how we approach every subject in the kingdom. For instance, the way that we approach theology must be founded in the core message and attitude of love. Love for God, love from God, love for one another, love for the lost, et cetera. We know that although much theology today is separated from the dynamic of encountering love, and it becomes theological concepts, even grand ones, but it's separated and devoid of experience and the very ethos of love throughout that theology. It's all over the kingdom of God throughout the nations today. Our understanding of judgment, our perception and pursuit of justice, the way we grasp salvation, it's not only fire insurance to get out of hell, although the message of escaping the wrath of God is a very important subject, but it's because of another reality. It's because there's one that loves us, but it's more than the fact he loves us. He's calling us into eternal love in a response back to him in partnership. The way we define the glory of God, the way we lead worship, the way we pray for revival, the way we minister in power, not only is the style motivated and grounded in love, the motive is grounded in love. Even the way that we communicate, the way we look at prosperity, the way we look at eternal rewards, everything must be grounded in this core reality, but not just the concept, the living encounter in truth of it fueling our hearts in a fiery and burning way. Now, that takes the power of God for that to happen. And we're not there as a community, but that's where we want to go. That's where I want to go as a person. Jesus set the record very clear. He called the first commandment, he called it the first and the great one from his point of view. It is the highest priority to God, the highest. There is nothing that is higher than the first commandment. There is nothing greater than the first commandment from God's point of view and therefore from all that are understanding what his heart is about. Paragraph E, the Shema Israel, you've heard that term here in Deuteronomy 6. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. That's called the Shema Israel. And the word Shema means hear. God is shouting from heaven, hear. Do you have ears to hear? He started back in the Old Testament saying, hear this. Now, it's interesting that Jesus, the most repeated teaching he gave, exhortation, was the call to hear. And as a people and as an individual, I want to hear this more. I don't want to just preach it to you and think I've heard it. The Lord's saying to Mike Bickle, hear, O Mike. Listen carefully. And the way you live, your priorities, your theology, what you pursue, hear from my heart. Hear what I'm saying. Love me with all of your heart, soul, strength, and mind, et cetera. And the reason God calls us to love him with all of our heart and soul, et cetera, because he loves us with all of his strength and all of his heart. He's not calling us to do something that he has not first pursued us in the overflow of that reality. Paragraph F, the Shema Israel reveals the why behind the what. Why did God create? Why did Jesus redeem? I can tell you with biblical authority, the why is for love, his purpose for creation. He wanted to provide a family for himself. He is eternally the Father. He's not just the God of power. He is eternally one with a heart of a father that burns with the desire of a father. He wanted to provide an eternal companion for his son that would be equally yoked to him in love. Billions of angels for ages past have been awestruck with God, billions and billions. God has more than awestruck angels. He wants awestruck people, but in something more than the angels have. He wants affection-based partnership forever with them. He wants awestruck and affection-based partnership where he will share his heart and his rule with them forever, and they will share their heart and all that they are with him forever in love. This is what he wants. Now, the seraphim, they're not redeemed. The limit of their experience is to be awestruck, but the redeemed, we're awestruck and we have affectionate partnership forever. I mean, he shares his heart and his rule. We share our heart and all that he's given us in creation and our created being, we give it back to him voluntarily. And that moves his heart deeply. Hear, oh Israel, love God because God has loved you. Paul touches this theme in Ephesians chapter two. He said, in verse four, because of great love, because of love, verse six, he raised us up, gave us his authority. We looked at that subject yesterday. He made us sit as co-heirs with the authority of Jesus. Why? Verse seven tells us why. So that in all the future generations and ages past and in the future, that he will show, he will have demonstrated his kindness. The Lord says, I forgave you. I raised you up. I share my throne with you because the kindness that burns in my being must be expressed and received and there must be a reciprocal response because my kindness must go forth. God motivated in kindness. The love within the triune God, I mean the love of the father to the son, the love of the son to the spirit, the way the spirit loves Jesus, the way they both love the father, they wanted to share this because the very definition of love, it must be expressed and it must be multiplied and shared with others. That's at the core reality of love. Therefore, the core reality of who God is. Why did he do what he did? Paul says it, that the exceeding greatness of his kindness would be openly displayed, that people would be overwhelmed in love and gratitude by kindness and they would give themselves back to him in love. Again, the glory of the triune God must be shared. By the very definition of love, it must be shared and it longs for a reciprocal response, more than the angels give. There's no record in scripture that the angels give love back to God. They give adoration, but we don't know that they have love. I don't know, I don't wanna touch what the Bible doesn't make clear, but I suspect that only humans have this unique ability of the likeness of God. Paragraph G, Jesus prayed, we know it so well. Oh, that they would be with me. Oh, that they would be with me. At the most intense hour of his life, he expresses the consuming desire of his heart and one of the purposes for going to the cross, that they would be with me. Beloved, this is massive in its importance to God's heart and to our paradigm of the kingdom and to the way we view what we do in our life, this age and in the age to come. But he went beyond that. I want you more than just to be with me. I want you with me. Verse 26, the very love that burns in the Father for me, I want that in you. I won't be content till you're with me filled with love. I want you with me. I don't want to rule apart from you, but I want you with me in the way the Father loves me. That's what I'm after. That's what the gospel, core to the gospel is this cry of Jesus's heart. Top of page two. Now this is IHOP 101, but I'm finding over the last months that this is becoming relegated to secondary status in the hearts of, I hear it in the conversations. I hear it in the worship songs. I hear it in the sermons. I hear it in the prayers and I'm saying, Lord, I want to see love front and center in this entire community. And when it goes back, help us and we will return it again. Paragraph A, God loves us. Now catch this. There's nothing, I can't fathom the reality of what I'm about to say. That God loves us in the way that God loves God. That is just like, I don't even know what to do with that. But just fall awestruck, but more than awestruck with grateful love and desire to partner, to fulfill all that's in his heart, in his love for me. I want to return back the response that he's after. Jesus said, as the father loved me in the same intensity, that's how I feel about you. In the same intensity that God loves God, that's how I feel about you. But then he goes on, look at this. He goes, live in this reality forever is what he's saying. Keep this number one. Don't ever let this be relegated to number two. He goes on in the next verse in John 17. It's not only that Jesus loves us like the father loves him, the father loves us in the same way. The father loves us the way the father loves Jesus. There's no contradiction. There's no distinction. Jesus loves us like the father loves him, and the father loves us like the father loves Jesus. God loves us like God loves God, and he wants this to touch us. He wants this to wash us. This will do something in our human spirit that no other truth touches. It creates a gratitude. It creates a understanding of partnership which that's what ministry's all about. It's a love-based paradigm of ministry. Why we want the power of God. Yes, we want people to escape hell, but there's more. I want him to have his inheritance. We want love to abound throughout the kingdom and the nations of the earth. Paragraph C. John went on. Of course, John was the great theologian of love. We need to drink deep from the well of John's experience with God and his theology. He calls us, behold the manner of love the father has. Behold the quality of love that the father has. Don't minimize it. Keep it central focus. Behold it. Not just behold the love of God according to our version of it, but the quality of love the father has. This is what the spirit is calling us to. I say, Lord, I will need supernatural revelation for eternity to fully grasp this. But John gives us the target. The beholding. This is the focus. This is what he's after. We want to understand it, but more than that, we want to experience it. Now as a movement, God emphasized the subject of love, particularly the bridal paradigm, the bridal perspective of the kingdom. Remember back in 1988, you know the story well, most of you, when he spoke the song of Solomon Word. I remember how strange that was to me when he said that we're gonna pursue this prayer movement, but through the grid, through the lens of a bride, a cherished bride, that was the essence of the message. Through the lens of a bride that received and returned love, that was the message that God spoke audibly in essence. We would approach him, we would serve him, we would be involved in a prayer movement through the lens of a bride, a cherished bride that was loyal in love and returned love. Lord spoke it audibly. And the reason he spoke it audibly, because I would never have ran into it without a dramatic wake-up call. And even then, it was hard to receive. It took me a while to even line up with it. It was like, ugh, it's not my way. And the Lord's answer would be, it is your way, you just don't know it yet. You were created for this. Well, it's critical to our movement. It's critical to our outreach. It's critical to our Bible school. It's critical to our discipleship. It's critical to the entire worship that comes out of here, that goes to the internet, to the nations of the earth. It must be rooted and grounded in love. I heard this in dialogue the other day, one of the worship leaders said something that I couldn't even imagine. And they said, well, I don't wanna really do the love thing. I've got something else I wanna do. I wanna do God. And I thought, that is the most bizarre sentence I've ever heard by an IHOP person. So where did you get that idea? You want to do God, but not love? What Bible are you reading? Who gave you that idea? Well, they were a little bit unsettled, thinking that it was better to do God versus love, as though love is a little appendage to God's attributes that every now and then he engages in. It was in November, 1995, when the Lord spoke audibly in a dream, and he said, call them Hephzibah. From Isaiah 62, in the vast auditorium, I was in this prophetic dream, and the audible voice of God, there's thousands, I have no doubt, it was the Kansas City Convention Center, and there was thousands of young people, and the thunderous voice, call them Hephzibah, tell them the way I delight in them. Do not allow this to be minimized, was the message. We don't want to sexualize it, and that's happened a little bit accidentally over the 12 years, every now and then. Somebody will take the expression of that, and they'll turn it in, they'll have a sexual sensual overtone, and then I've talked a number of years ago, oh, oh, yeah, I didn't mean that, oops. So we've had little faux pas and little trip-ups here and there, but the Lord wants central out of this movement that will touch multitudes of people in the days to come, he wants the message. God desires us, and we are to desire him, and that becomes the fountain of this partnership that will pay, there's no price too big we will pay when our hearts are inflamed with love. It will change the way we preach, it will change the way we make money, it will change the way we lead, it will change the way we handle our failure, it will change the way we look at opportunity, it will change the way that we look at loss of opportunity, everything is impacted when the flames of that love are burning in the heart. We won't do sterile theology, so much of that is going around in the body of Christ. Kind of at a distance, theorizing about God without any heat in the heart, awakening their mind and heart with feeling and experience. I tell you, he's a God of great desire, of great feeling, and he desires that we would feel what he feels and that we would return it back to him in grateful love. It says here in 1 John 4, God is love, it's the very nature of God. He is the eternal fountain of self-replenishing love forever, he isn't just power, that we stand at a distance awestruck, he's more than power, he is power, he's more than wisdom. Yes, he has great wisdom, he is the very fountain of love forever and forever, and that very love wants to bring us into it, he won't violate our free will, but he wants to woo us and win us and see the true glory of who he is in the context of heat upon our heart, the very flame of God, that we would see him through his own lens of fiery love touching us. We would see him through his lens by feeling a little of what he feels. Now I'm talking about, I'm talking about the way we live, not just about the way we pray for the sick or the way we talk to one another, I wanna live in this. I don't want IHOP rhetoric, I don't want IHOP slogans, I wanna touch this, look at this, God is love, and the one that abides in it, that lives in the realm of love, that's what abide in love means, they live in the realm of love, they live in that realm. Abides means lives, if they do that, they are living in the realm of God himself. Goes on in verse 17, I'll just highlight the word boldness, you can read it on your own. God wants more than just desire, he wants confidence. He wants his people confident, yes, filled with the fear of the Lord, deeply respectful, but in a biblical base, bold, which means confident before him, the nearer we get, the more confident we are, not because of who we are, but because of the grandeur of his kindness that he raised us up, seated us next to him to show kindness, to cause it to be expressed across the nations forever and forever, he wants us in confident love, he wants us confident in our spirit, something is so different in us when we become confident in love, look at Ephesians three, Paul expresses that this confident, rooted and grounded in love is the way to the fullness of God. Paul ties the fullness of God in eternity with the experience of incomprehensible love. And incomprehensible love, it passes knowledge, means without the aid of the Holy Spirit, we can't get it. Can't get it by reading books, we have the spirit of God must escort us into this ocean, and he does it little by little, but it's the way to fullness. And in the very limited sense, it's the way to the fullness of our movement, but in the big picture, it's the way to the body of Christ's fullness in the eternal age, to enter into the fullness of God himself, it's through the experience of love. Paragraph E, Jesus, he appears on the island of Patmos and he has a message for seven churches, and John's there, he felt like a dead man. Overwhelmed at his majesty and his glory and the fire in his eyes, and he falls like a dead man, trembling before the one he loves, and Jesus tells him, wake up, you're okay. Do not fear, it's me, John. And then he gives a message to him, he goes, go tell the church this. John's still trembling, I mean, it's the very first message after this, John's quaking in his humanity. He goes, tell them I'm against them, the great revival center of Ephesus. I love them, but I'm against them. I have something that troubles me. Ephesus was the greatest revival center in the earth at that time. He said, they've left their love. They don't love me like they used to, and John's trembling under the wake of the glory of what he saw in chapter one, and the first words out of Jesus' mouth, go correct the churches on this issue. I want them to love me. John, you're trembling, you're overwhelmed, but do you know what this fiery majesty and splendor is about? I wanna bring you into union with my heart forever, and there you will see the full truth of who I am, because you can't see me in truth until you experience this dimension of me. Let's go to top of page three. I just give you kind of a little bit of material to read on your own. Just some ideas, very simple ideas. Paragraph H, Bernard of Clairvaux, one of my favorite men of God in history, one of the most influential people in the 12th century in France, but I mean, in all of Europe, which therefore, all of the world, he would have been one of the most, I don't know who would have been more influential than Bernard of Clairvaux. The kings of the nations of Europe and Italy and France, I mean, the leading men, the what we would call the kings or the presidents, they were deeply impacted by his leadership. The pope was following his leadership. I mean, all of Europe was listening to Bernard of Clairvaux with signs and wonders and miracles, and the premier message of his life was the Song of Solomon of all things in the 12th century. So many people, miracles, rays, paralytics, and blind eyes opened, and the kings of Europe, they said they trembled at the thought that he would visit with this pleasure and come and rebuke them because of the way they carried on with one another. He would send them a letter, and they'd say, okay, okay, and I mean, a tremendously influential man, but a man consumed in love, Bernard of Clairvaux from France. I've read several of his biographies, and those are some things I don't agree with. He was a man of his times. He understood things from the 12th century perspective, but I tell you, this man touched something in his years of devoting himself to the love of God. Just a couple of little thoughts there, but more than that, I want to urge you just to check out the treasure chest of what God gave this man. It will move you. Paragraph I, God deeply enjoys love. Love isn't something he does so that he's politically correct. Theologically, it's what he is. He enjoys it. The reason you enjoy love, being loved and loving, is because you're made in the image of God, the God who enjoys loving, and he enjoys being loved by those he loves. He loves it, moves him. We're made in his image, and we need in all that we do to be swept into that bonfire more, even though it's minimal in this age. I mean, the most we will experience at this age, I mean, more than we know now, but still, nothing compared to the ocean we'll drink of forever and forever, but I want more of this. I want the heat of his gaze and his heart touching my heart. I want to process life and the word and ministry, and I want to process the future, the problems, and the glory of what's coming in the years ahead through the power of this heat touching my heart. It will all look different if we process it through love, not through the concept of love, but through the experience of it, and the way we will experience it is by beholding it, by making it a priority to us. To love God is our debt, but it's also our gift, and it's also the greatest expression of our own dignity before God as redeemed human beings. Paragraph L, we need the revelation of the supremacy of this, the supremacy. Again, this conversation with one of the worship leaders, I don't really want to do the love thing that's kind of corny and sentimental. It was a horrifying sentence. I thought, where did you get this idea? Again, certainly not from the Bible. Again, this person, I won't give a name, was a little bit, oh, oh, I was actually trying to be impressive here. No, there's something bigger. Something bigger's going on, and you're a part of it. Jump in the river and swim in it. Paragraph N, David, the great psalmist of Israel, the one who raised up the original tabernacle, he was a singer of the love songs of God's heart, and we could present a whole theology about David's magnifying of God's love, his kindness, his tenderness, and the way that he felt in the journey he went on and the way he responded. David isn't the only model. The premier model's Jesus, but we have plenty of his words, but David is one of the models the scripture gives us. He expressed his own love in a personal, in a deep way. As the great psalmist of Israel, we want love songs coming out of this furnace to fill the earth with love songs, all manner of love songs. Again, I don't want to touch the sensual, and I don't want them sexualized, but ask the Holy Spirit to help us. How can we sing and proclaim and fill the earth with love songs? Because the bride, the church that is prepared is a bride, not just a worker. God's not raising up a workforce, he's raising up a mature bride who's equally yoked in love, and a bride, by definition, is moved by love. It's not a workforce we're aiming for. We're aiming for something more than that because God's aiming for it. He expressed his own love in his songs in a very personal way. The next Psalm, Psalm 31, he says, "'Oh, love the Lord!' He exhorted the saints to enter into what he experienced, because he knew it was the very fountainhead of who God is. Look at top of page four. Just got to bring this to an end. I want us to experience it, not just sing about it or talk about it. I want more than that. I want to sing about it and talk about it. I want to preach about it, pray about it, but more than that, much more than that. That's important because that's part of our calling and destiny as a people. I want us to experience it as individuals. I don't want right lyrics. I do, I do, actually. I want a community that feels the heat of that fire little by little, more and more of the years. I mean, I want a lot, but I know how big God is and how little our receptors are, so even a little bit will dynamically change us. Look at this, Deuteronomy 30, I mean, one of the grand chapters describing the end time move of God. I'll just give you the briefest overview of this. It's a prophecy of Moses for the end times, for the generation the Lord returns. Notice the timing, verse one. When all of these things come upon Israel, the blessing and the curse, and when in the generation that Israel calls them to mind, when they're all scattered in the nations, it's clearly talking about the end times when you read the whole chapter, very clearly. He says, verse two, when you, Israel, return to the Lord, that one generation that Israel would turn to the Lord and we're at the beginning of those days, I believe. God will have compassion. He will gather you again from all the nations. We've seen a little bit of that, but a far greater gathering is yet to come. Verse six, here's the fountain of it, the fountainhead. God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants. He says, your children, it's not just the individuals, family units, and they will love God with all their heart. The premier work that Moses highlighted, the people would be captured in the first commandment and their children. You read the whole context. He mentions the children several times, but the children are tenderized by love too. Verse 11, for this commandment, this commandment to love God with all of the heart is the context. Now, this is an exhortation from verse 11 to 14 that Moses gave them, and it's been applicable for 2,500 years. I mean, 3,500 years since the generation of Moses, but it has a unique application in the generation when all of Israel will walk in the anointing to love God and their children will too, but not just love him, love him with all of their heart. This is the premier thing, the Shema Israel. This is what God says to his people. Hear this one thing, hear this. This is what I'm after. Jesus came later and he said it clearly. It's the first and the great thing that God's after. But anyway, in terms of personal response, verse 11, this commandment, it's not too mysterious. This commandment to love God. When people hear the commandment, everyone who hears it, we're all the same. We're weak and broken people with a track record of sin and failure. Everyone in history, there we are. Everyone's weak, everyone's broken, and we have a track record, a history of failure and sin. Paul the apostle, John the, every single one. There's no exception. So the first temptation is for people to think it's too mysterious, it's too difficult. Who really knows how to do this in a real way? The Lord spoke through Moses. Tell them it's not so mysterious. He says it's not far off, it's not out of reach. I've heard it for many years. Well, you know, it might be good for you, but let's be practical. The Lord told Moses, tell them it's not far off, it's not impractical, it's not out of their reach. Well, you know, I've got real issues in real life. It's not far off, it's within your reach. Verse 12, well, the guy says, okay, it's in my reach. You know, Lord, give me a visitation from heaven. But they began to pray and fast for visitation. When I have the visitation, then I will begin the journey, the sincere, earnest journey to love God. And God told Moses, tell them this, it's not in heaven that a person should say, I'm gonna wait till I have a heavenly visitation, then I will start the journey to love. Or another guy says, well, I don't need the heavenly visitation. I'm happy for a prophet to have one as long as the prophet comes back and lays hands on me. Somebody go up there and get all touched and on fire and come back and impart it to me. The Lord told him, tell them, they don't need a heavenly revelation because someone came down from heaven because of love and then poured out the spirit because of love. Verse 13, one other guy says, okay, I won't wait for the heavenly visitation, but I know I'm gonna find the place in the earth where it is, then I will go there and get the impartation. And the Lord, anticipating it, verse 13, it's not beyond the sea, it's not across the sea. You don't have to go to a faraway place to the experts because, beloved, the good news is this, we're all the same. That's kind of bad news on one side, but it's good news because this is the kind of people God relates to, people like us, with a track record of failure. Don't say, once I go to the conference over there, then I will begin my earnest journey into love. No, you don't have to wait till you go beyond the sea. If somebody would go there and bring it back to us, or maybe we're waiting for the guest speaker, the prophet from another land. We're waiting, he's coming next fall. He's coming next year, somebody might say. Then we'll do it, we can't go there, but he's coming to us. Don't look to men. I mean, it's good that people would encourage you, but at best, we encourage each other just a little bit. There's something bigger going on. There's an escort called the Holy Spirit. He lives in you, and he has the ability and the desire to usher you into this because this is what the gospel is about. Then the Lord told Moses, tell them this, verse 14, we'll end with this. He says, tell them this. The word is very near to them. They don't need a heavenly visitation or wait for a prophet who had one to lay hands on them. They don't have to go to the faraway conference or wait till that famous guest speaker finally visits them in their conference. He says, the word is near you because it's actually in your mouth. It's as simple as you talking to God about it little by little, just little conversations, and the Spirit will begin to move because the Spirit's in us. And if our mouth becomes active, and what I mean by our mouth becomes active, we say simple phrases like, I love you, God. Lord, this is my inheritance, thank you. Holy Spirit, I want this more than anything. That's it. It's in your mouth. Say it to the Spirit who lives in you. Say it to the Father. Say it to the Father. It's what I want. And the Lord told Moses, tell them, if they will simply begin to talk to me about it, it will awaken their heart. And I will circumcise their heart in love, meaning they will have a supernatural ability to be tenderized. Yes, even you will be able to do this. So don't wait for the fast next fall or for the conference or for the visitation in heaven or for the man or woman who comes down from heaven. Start today. It's in your mouth. The words of devotion and the intention of your heart, it's in your mouth. Say it to him who sits upon the throne and to he that dwells in your spirit. Talk to God. 10, 20, 30 second prayers throughout the day, as well as those longer times for five or 10 minutes at a time sitting in the prayer room. Take the written word, open the written word and talk to the living word about the written word. When you're in the prayer room and not, don't wait till then, but when you're in it, don't just enjoy the good music. Tap your foot and go, it's good, you know. Don't just be a music connoisseur. I don't like that one, but I like that one. Yeah, it's kind of weird, but it's okay. And yeah, but I don't use, forget all that. Turn off all the this and that stuff that so many are attracted to and captured by. Take the written word and start talking to the living word and just read through it and turn it into conversation. It's in your mouth. It's in your mouth, just do it regularly. The simplicity of consistency, not for a week or a month, just do it until. And I tell you, we will find our hearts tenderized in love. Amen. Let's stand. Let's just ask the Lord for just a moment to touch us before we dismiss. Oh, I just feel passionate about myself entering into this. I wanna enter into this more. I want the focus clear. I mean, this is what revival, this is what judgment, this is what salvation, this is what the glory of God is about. This is where it's at. This is the fountain of it right here. Not my version of it, but these truths in the word of God. I say it in an imperfect way, but the truths are clear in the scripture. Father, oh, God of love. Father, we love you. Oh, the length and the width and the height and the depth. Who can comprehend? Father, we wanna enter into your fullness for this hour and your fullness ultimately in the age to come. We wanna be rooted and grounded in the experience of love. We wanna feel love. We wanna preach love, sing love, cry out for love, pray love, share it. Lord, we want love. We wanna be touched by you that we could see the truth about who you are and your fullness. Father, we come in awestruck, adoration of who you are like the angels. And we add to that affectionate partnership. We wanna know your heart. We wanna give you our heart in partnership. We say yes to you in Jesus' name. Amen and amen.
