"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
~ Matthew 7:12 (KJV)
SISTAH DECLARATION: The flesh can cause me to retaliate!!
The place to live is in the Word of God. Jesus said, "If you keep my commandments you shall abide in my love." The word "abide" means to live in, settle down, and take up residence in His love. Well, Jesus is the Son of love. Jehovah is the God of love. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of love. Then being in the middle of that love is being in the middle of the secret place of the Most High. And it is being in the middle of His will that provides protection.
By living in the Word of God, you abide, or live in the love of God. You, therefore, will love your way right into Heaven. Jesus said in Matthew 7:12 to do to others as you want men to do to you. And then He tells us about the pathway to Heaven. He says that the straight way and the narrow way is the love way. Anybody can follow the flesh way. Following the flesh can cause you to retaliate, defend yourself or even punch or curse someone out. But abiding in the love of God takes some effort.
Jesus chose the love way, because the Father loved Him. God loves you just like He loves Jesus. Therefore, when you choose the love way, you get what Jesus got. You get God's protection. The same authority Jesus has, you have. When Satan finally got Him on that cross, it was because Jesus knew it was time for Him to redeem you and me, making sure that we have everything that He has. Then if Jesus has authority, what do you have when you walk in love?
Love causes you to have divine protection, authority over every sickness and disease, over every problem and over all the power of the enemy. So make your dwelling place in the love of God that it may be well with you, and that you may walk in total peace and in God's divine protection.
