Love That Has Motives

When is Love not really Love?

Some people love someone for who they are, and some because of what they get from the relationship.

The Charismatic church is known for its worship and the presence of God among other things. However, God said to me about the current Charismatic movement, “their hearts are far from me!” How can this be I asked? It’s because most people that are in the Charismatic movement come for what God can do for them, not what they can do for God.

Love is an action, not a feeling. Love is when you are willing to sacrifice your needs and desires for someone else. It’s not that Charismatic Christians don’t love Jesus; it’s that the feelings are more important than taking up the cross (Luke 14:27).

The “love” that is expressed in worship is real. The presence of God is real. The Holy Spirit really does show up and touch people. However, there is more to being a disciple of Jesus than great worship.

So, when you love someone, how do you treat them? Do you ignore their wishes or treat them with deference and respect. Do you ignore their commands when they are too hard, or obey even though it costs you everything?

A Recent Symbolic Dream

I'm way behind on posting revelation as there is so much unfolding. Here's a interesting dream and most importantly, I am not the producer of the dream, the cast director, the play write, the sound man or the director. That's the Holy Spirit's part.

I found myself standing at a counter and a young man named David walked up to me and handed me a colorful bag. I looked at the bags and knew that it's contents were cans of food.

I then turned to a standard size refrigerator, opened the door and there were stacks and stacks of aluminum trays filled with homemade enchilada's with all the trimmings. So I grabbed a plate and placed a enchilada on the plate and handed it to the young man.

As I was doing this, my dad (symbolic) walked up to me and said "your wife (symbolic) is in the next room (symbolic) filing for divorce", so I walked into the next room and there was my wife sitting with another woman (symbolic) who was quite shocked that I walked up as she was instigating this process.

So I walked up to my wife (symbolic) and said "If you want a divorce, you can have one. I don't want one, but if that's what you want, I have the authority to give you one, but the baby (symbolic) goes with me.

Interesting dream, however right on course.
The scriptural application to the above symbolic dream is profound.
