Episode 150: Love God with Your Strength (M1P5)

Mentoring Moment Series: Part 5: Love God with your strength (M1P5)
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

Luke 10: 27 - 28

“Our Body is our independent power source for action. It is the little “power pack” that God has assigned to us as the field of our freedom and development. It is the place from which we live.” Dallas Willard

Our physical bodies represent our physical doing, when our soul is submitted to Christ, our bodies will align to God’s will. There is a spiritual war between our physical & spiritual parts but when we walk in the spirit we can win over the fleshly desires. 

The desires of the flesh are against that which will truly bring life, that is why we do the things we do not want to do and the things we want to do, we just don’t do.  Being consistently disciplined is hard. 

Loving God with your strength starts with showing up. You’ve got to show up in your physical body and  be with God, be there for people, take care of your body, take care of God’s body (the church).

Stay in the present, in Christ there is enough strength for today. I can’t borrow strength from yesterday and I can’t pull strength from tomorrow.

Loving God with your strength must come from belonging, doing will never heal the soul.
