Differentiating between what is material, and, or, spiritual can be overwhelming . It can in some instances drive a person into a realm , unlike any other! A realm found in the life of a true believer. If you are in the spirit ,or out is a determining factor! Being in the spirit will require discipline, listening and obeying the Holy Spirit! The universal laws require strict observance! Unless you know these laws, you can never succeed in accomplishing them! This is why God is sent His Son to die for mankind! Understanding the love principalities in salvation cannot be completed outside of Jesus Christ! The cleansing, the atonement, the shedding of His blood, the cleansing will make you ready for these things! You cannot , nor ever fulfill the law of God the Father , outside of Jesus Christ! Faith and only faith, will open the doors you will need to overcome the worlds and the sin that is in it! Remembering, The Christ, in and through Holy communion,

and Baptism, are outward signs. We can do these things without the help of a worldly priest.in the privacy of our home!

First time here. Thank you so much for providing this message. I have been a christian for a little over two years and have struggled and sometimes the days are to hard for me to even bare. But I know the word says he will gives his angels charge over thee to keep thee in thine ways. I've asked and continually try to ask how do I love more. How do I love Jesus more but also how can I be obedient. I believe you gave me this answer as it is shown clearly in scripture. I've been dealing a lot with knowing how to love myself but more importantly how to love more and more. I know the Lord is patient and he chastises those who he loves. Please pray for me. I know he has saved me for a purpose and everything that I've dealt with is going to lead me to more patience and trust it surely isn't easy at least all of this. Requires a lot of obedience and a lot of love and a lot of prayer.

Hello Arnold B , nice to meet you and thank you for your post , I too struggle with love , it isn't something that comes easy to me and I know that I do not love God or Jesus enough , you are right that we have to know how to love ourselves , if we don't know how to love ourselves how can we love some one else and if we don't know how to love other people who we can see ,how can we love God who we can't see , the thing that is helping me to learn is to see God everywhere , He is everywhere , He is in all of His gorgeous creation , if you in any way appreciate nature then you are appreciating God , He is in every act of kindness , every selfless act ,even the little ones , He is in every genuine smile , He is all over , where ever there is beauty or kindness He is there ,and if you can't see any kindness then it's up to you to bring it , He will use you to help others ,Jesus is our perfect example , it's a bit of a clich but to think to yourself "what would Jesus do ? " isn't a bad idea . He won't lead you down the wrong path .

Thank you sir for the reply. I think ever Christian goes through feelings of inadequacy because not only do we feel Gods love through Jesus sometimes it can be overwhelming to think how we can love him equally. And the answer to that is what you said it's in everything we see in creation in of its own. But even in that though we can't understand the mind of our God. His ways our higher than ours but if it's something we can cling on to is his promise of prosperity, sustainability, and Love but also always being there. I had a horrible day but knowing there's brothers and sisters always praying for the brethren brings me more joy in my heart. I ask how do I love you more Lord ? How do I love others ? Two of the most complicated questions but if we keep seeking we will find all the answers. Living this life is hard but it's a choice I made two years ago and I've understood he has saved me for a reason. I just have to trust him more.
