March 2, 2021Excerpt from Chapter 2 of The History of the Love of God, Volume II – A Love More Ancient than Time
Love is a legitimate solution that ends so much suffering that a human can migrate toward inexpressible joy, which of course ends man-on-man crime. It is essential to know that the Genius God created the empty spot in the heart so that He could fill it. But why is He even wanting to fill an empty hole in the heart that He created? It is so He can fill it with love. Why would God do such a thing? Here is the answer: how do you feel when you adore someone? It is the most beautiful feeling in the world. Likewise, hate is the most miserable, disheartening and depressing feeling in the world. It stands to reason that if man recoils from pain, how much more so would the God of the Universe desire to separate out good from evil, love from hate, self-evaluation from projection and judgmentalness – with no in-between.
Not only is He separating out love with all of its glorious components and hate with all of its miserable components of judgmentalness, pride, debauchery, lust and greed, but God is taking the love and building a Super Community consisting of Pure Love that will be way beyond our imaginings and more formidable than any nation known to man. Think about this: God is building a Kingdom based on Pure Love – the most powerful, influential substance in the world. But more importantly, He is separating out the beautiful, positive, warm, endearing and delightful emotions that feel best, and severing them from the worst hateful emotions in the world.
God is preparing a castle of love for each of us who choose this love and righteous life with Him! Here is a most foundational Truth…the eternal purpose/plan of God: God is separating love from hate and building a Kingdom of Love, so that His Kingdom can come on Earth as it is in Heaven, according to Jesus’ prayer. [1] He will destroy hate in the end and leave only love behind, so it is what is in your heart and soul and mind that matters. What have you filled this empty hole with?
Notice that it is a clear separation, as clear as black is from white, with no gray in between. Jesus worded it this way in Matthew 25:
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.” Matthew 25:31-33
As clearly as you can tell a black sheep from a white sheep, you can tell if someone is born again or not. The biggest telltale sign is sincere love versus hate that is usually hidden behind insincere love. This is such a foundational and huge, revolutionary concept, so let’s break it down some more. We all know that God is good; there is no evil in God. God is Holy, which means He has separated Himself from all that is wicked, immoral, foul, unclean – from a world that is full of jealousy or hate. Let us reason together…if evil is not doing the will of God…what again is the will of God? LOVE! Therefore, not doing the will of God is simply hating. Goodness is love; evil is hate.
Now, having that clear, let’s discuss the fact that God is Holy, which means separate. God has separated Himself out from evil. He has asked His children to “be holy as I am holy” and to “separate out from evil” and “come out from it.” [2] Since evil is hate, and God is Holy – this means that God is building a Kingdom that is separate and far away from haters. If God has separated permanently from evil (hate) and there is no evil (hate) in God, this also means He has declared that He is Pure Love. His will of LOVE will never cease. Furthermore, since love overcomes evil, love has the victory. So God is Love and His will is Love and His plan is to ensure that there is a Remnant of the Kingdom of Love on Earth as it already is in Heaven. God’s will is protecting and ensuring the eternal existence of love, and that will never end – as long as the stars twinkle and the sun rises in the east and the moon reflects light! Stop and imagine an enormous separate planet far away, populated with love-filled Saints from thousands of centuries. It would be a planet of no pain – a painless planet, with a Leader who would ever ensure no breach of hateful emotions, ensured by colossal walls with white pearly gates.
So this wonder-filled God of Love was obviously desirous of personal associations, so He became the author of all beautiful, ever-faithful relationships. The Bible is a rich history that reflects the search for the loving hearts, starting with Abraham, whose offspring went down to Egypt and then were rescued by God, and finally these populous two million Hebrews became Zion and established Jerusalem – the City of Peace. It is an unbelievable love story and a telling journey of the ups and downs as the children of God learned love from hate. [3]
Why Would God Choose Love?
True Love is the best kept secret. Fake love is confusing God’s Plan. For those who claim that “love” is already their doctrine or the doctrine of their church, again, beware: there is an impostor of love. It is amazing how difficult it is to recognize the disingenuous. The Early Christians in I Corinthians 13 were told by the Apostle Paul to “desire love,” but perhaps you have never desired it because all you have been exposed to is phony love, which is a manufactured, synthetic copy of True Love, which leaves you confused and cynical. Why did God choose True Love as our foundational, most important acquisition?
It is in the exposure to REAL, GENUINE LOVE that you find the answer – for it is an understatement to say that it is the greatest gift. True Love holds in its arms the greatest power on Earth. It is somewhat like the wind. You cannot see it, but you can feel it. However, it is more prevailing than wind, for the impact left in its wake is more permanent. Where a tree may be blown out of its position temporarily, a human can be forever changed when True Lovesweeps thru. True Love given in our hearts by God is no little gift but rather is the greatest of all influences on Earth – the greatest of all controls on the Earth.
Love affects mankind in a positive way more than any other force on the planet, and yet it remains a mystery as to how to generate it and disseminate it. It is not like electricity that can be engineered, stored and then sent thru wires to an outlet to light up a room. It is not like a battery that can harness energy to be used later. It is not like fuel that can, via an energy converter, release power and be used in mechanical energy or kinetic energy, moving wheels and gears with heat that splits molecules apart, releasing energy. Combustion releases huge amounts of energy. When you sit near a fireplace warming yourself, you are soaking up energy produced by billions of molecules that crackle upon splitting apart. But love is more powerful than billions of molecules splitting. It is not like solar energy that can travel for millions of light years and then be captured and translated into power. Love originates from The Source Of All Love.
The best visual is that God is a huge Star of Love. His love can travel on love waves into the heart of man and is dispersed thru humans. It is far faster than the thrust of a jet, far warmer than the combustion of fuel, from a more sure and distant Source than solar energy. Unlike petroleum, electricity or fuel, love is free. Love is the greatest power to capture and disseminate on Earth, but this is not talked about or studied, nor has it ever been on the statement of faith of any religion except when you find the rare Remnant of the Church that Jesus began. I certainly feel inadequate to write about such a subject, but hopefully in showing its absence and perceived lack of importance, it will elevate Love in all of us. It is what God has been trying to get thru to man all along – that His goals, His ambition, His direction, His future of forever is a City of loving Angels with no bad attitudes.
The Destination of the Heart
Why is True Love more influential than any energy source, more commanding than any energy tool? Because its destination is the heart of man. All other energy sources have an outlet or destination to machines or gears. The prevailing winds have a purpose to water and clean the Earth and distribute seeds so that the Earth is filled with vegetation, seed-bearing plants and trees for fruit as created by God on the third day.[4] But the purpose of the selection of love is to move and fill up the spiritual soul and heart. Both man and animal, indeed all living things, respond to the power of love. It moves mountains of hate and bitterness out of the Kingdom of God – spirits leave and then the gentle, meek and mild are left behind. Love is the most formidable force – it is still felt somewhat like the wind, but instead of externally it is felt primarily internally because it resides in the heart. It has the power to heal the internal and mental illnesses and pains. It has healed more than any form of medicine. If only we had hospitals that only administered True Love – if that was all they had to offer, and it was True, Genuine Love – more progress would be achieved for the sick and diseased and those possessed than any infirmary with the highest medically advanced services, yet administered with obligation. True Love nurtures and heals.
We all need this Love. True Love reaches even further to hold the Earth together because it is the only source of true unity. People ask you to prove that True Love exists on the Earth – many a skeptic has questioned if it does. The lack of it increases the selection of “atheist” on religious surveys. Yet, unity proves the existence of this powerful Love. True Love from the Heavens is an energy, and it recreates life.
God’s Love is like a spring when accessed…Love flows from the Spirit of God when we put HIM first and love Him like He says, and then it overflows to man…a spring of love to give to others as we are simply empty conduits, vessels or pipelines for the redistribution of the seas of love from the Heavens. This is the spring of the living water that Jesus talked about to the woman at the well…
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13b-14
From a human it can be transferred to another human, and this Kingdom of Love could fill the Earth and the Heavens, and it is after all exactly what God is accomplishing as we speak, whether you want to be a part of it or not. It is worthy to note that it will be sooner given to a child over a knowledge-filled adult. [5] Note that it was given to the repentant tax collector over the Jewish pharisee.[6]
It is when you finally see that True Love is the greatest force on Earth and is the power that raises the dead from the grave – because it gives life everywhere it goes – that is when you will want to seek it far more than anything else on Earth or in space or in the depths of the sea. The woman at the well was seeking this powerful river of love because she was tired of having to come back to the well that only gives you water for a day. She wanted the endless water supply so she would not be thirsty. But she was wise because she asked the right question to the right person…”Sir, can you give me this life giving water so that I will not be thirsty?” Jesus, can you connect me to this power? The answer was…”Yes!”
True Love is more powerful than any other energy or power, more important than any other resource, and therefore, the most important study of all because True Love overcomes evil. Evil is simply rebellion to the will of God; the will of God is to love. Evil eradicates love, but the real Truth is…God’s love overcomes evil. Another way to say this is that love eradicates the lack of love. Fascinating!
God has all of these – things, position, money – yet uses love. God distributes His gifts to men to be used for good, such as in husbands to wives, parents to children, bosses to employees. If rewards are given by the boss, this can be good influence. However, when authority, money, position or knowledge is used to promote self rather than God, it is at this point that it becomes an evil, coercive power. The impostor force of moving humans around will greatly demoralize the heart rather than fill it up and energize it. It will divide rather than unite, it will hurt rather than heal, it will greatly diminish hope because the heart is hurt, not healed. Impostor power or fake love kills but can move humans around. This abuse can be inherited. True Love moves the heart and this inheritance gives life. Love of God first and man second has a powerful influence that overcomes this evil.
Evil is the Earth’s biggest enemy, therefore it stands to reason that Love is the most important commodity on Earth. Underneath this love-force, the components of love are breaking down the barriers. It is chipping away at the stony exterior, and love eventually triumphs…love triumphs as mercy triumphs over judgment. [7] If you study its influence, you will agree in the end that – above wind and rain, above all sources of energy, whether combustion, kinetic, solar, or evil positional coercive influences – God’s True Love is the most important, greatest and most superior power on Earth because it moves the heart of man in a positive direction in a permanent way. Do not give up…for the powerhouse of this True Love from the Star of Love in Heaven is always within reach, always accessible to all who seek it. It is worthy of repeating…God’s eternal plan was never for the world to be starving but rather the Earth was used as a sieve to separate out good from evil, love from hate, so that He can build a Super Community that consists only of the best of the best beautiful emotions in the world. So if God is separating love from hate, our own human body, spirit, soul and mind have to eradicate hate and fill up with love to have an opportunity to go past the pearly gates.
Finally, it must be considered…God programmed an automatic reaction inside the soul of mankind that instinctively moves man upward toward joy – and therefore God – and away from heartache and therefore the world owned by satan. The false promises fool the sojourner and pull him down to pain “dressed” in fabricated, synthetic happiness. For example, judgmentalness is possibly one of the worst feelings on the planet. Notice how you will remove yourself from people who are judgmental but surround yourself with people who are accepting and lovingly tolerant. Mankind is moved by God’sbehavior modification, for man will move away from pain, torment, heartbreak, fears, depression, ugliness, worry, agony, grief and suffering and move toward painless, joyful happiness with endless exuberance, tranquility and delight. Never be confused…God is using the pure feeling to draw us, and pure feels better than all lusts and temptations. The Truth will immediately relieve and even alleviate pain. Each generation searches tirelessly to fill an empty void, yet sadly the world is starving, but what they do not know is that they are starving for love. A world full of hurting people was never God’splan or idea for mankind. The Bible says that it is God’s will for all men to be saved. [8] It had to have been God’s will that all of mankind be saved because He made it feel good to move toward Him and away from satan or sin. Had God made it feel good permanently to move toward hell I would have come to a different conclusion. I feel a reduction of the temperature on the Earth’s surface and atmosphere, and though our eyes may not see polar ice sheets or glaciers, the individual’s pulse rate and spiritual body temperature for selfless love is lowering. It is a new era of the “ice age” which is creeping across the globe, but do not despair…there is a Truth that melts the heart of man.
