The imperative to walk in love is not just about how you feel about a situation, circumstance, or person. It is so much more than walking around with a smile on your face or a giddy disposition.

It’s really a higher calling to surrender yourself and your day to the thoughts, plans, and will of God. It’s a directive to remember to think, speak, and act as Jesus Christ would in any given situation. As a believer, your aim is to be motivated by love. To know and honor the will of God each day.

The hallmark of love is to maintain a proper perspective and attitude. Genuine and authentic love is sacrificial, compassionate, and provides what is needed. It requires a relationship with God to be realized.

Today’s challenge is to take a deeper look at walking in love. Are you walking in love? Look to God’s word for perspective, and welcome the illumination of the Holy Spirit. God wants to deepen your understanding of love in order to increase the impact of your life.

When I was six years old, my teacher described me as inquisitive and loquacious in a conversation with my mother as we left my baptism. To which I responded, “I do not talk a lot.”  I’ll spare you the details of the correction that occurred when a child enters “grown-folk” conversations. Notwithstanding that, I can say that my natural inclination for knowledge, understanding, and dialogue has served me well. In fact, it has proven to be just as Jesus said it would be. “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”

God has never failed to answer my questions. The answers haven’t always been what I wanted to hear, but His truth has led to a life of extraordinary freedom and peace. I know that many people have questions and are looking for real answers. Answers that help you bridge the gap between your faith and your experience. Solutions that give you insight, understanding, and activate your faith so that you can continue to move forward.

Today, I invite you to remember that same child-like faith and curiosity you had and apply it to the questions you have today. You’ve got questions about faith, spiritual growth, relationships, assignments, prayer, etc., and I want to help you move to mastery with some real answers. Send me your spiritual questions and join me on Zoom, March 22 at 5 pm PT for a special, Ask Me Anything Q&A show.  Beloved, let’s move on to understanding and live the life God intended.  If you’ve got questions you can send them to https://www.mikaelacade.com/ask-pastor-cade/

God works on your life based on the permission you give him.

Think about it for a moment because working on your life is qualitatively different than working in your life. Your desire for a better life should lead you to a deeper level of surrender.

We want God to work for us, but he created us. We are here to work for him. God created you to please him.

We often want him to fix a situation or change a circumstance, but he wants to heal you so that you can face any situation with faith, courage, and confidence. Your ability to live by faith pleases him. God doesn’t need to fix a situation so you can please him. You must learn to please him in every situation.

So then, your willingness to surrender to God sends a message to heaven that you trust him with every aspect of your life. The one he gave you. The one he ordained for you. Your willingness to surrender becomes a declaration on the earth that God is in control, and you trust him to care for you. You trust him to bring you to an expected end and willingly defer to his plan.

Yet, he has given you free will.  You can choose to believe. You can choose to trust him. You get to choose to honor him. Your choices matter.

You might be thinking God can do whatever he wants to do, and you’re right. He can, but he will not violate his word. You must yield.

So, then with those things in mind, your ability to surrender dictates God’s ability to work on your life.

Today, I invite you to lift your hands, bow your heart and confess with your mouth, “Lord I surrender, have your way in my life that you will be pleased, and the world will know that I know you, believe you can, and will do all that you’ve said. I give you my life.”

Today, I’ll share simple thoughts as the world focuses on love.

First, God is Love, and He loves you. He demonstrated his Love before the world was framed; he proved it on the cross and confirms it daily by working in your life. You are worth all He paid for you to experience Love in life, and he unselfishly gives it to you every day. His Love is all-consuming, refining, rebuilding, and inspiring. His Love makes you whole and gives you courage and compassion.

His Love brings knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. It causes an eternal celebration in your spirit that permeates your soul and manifests itself through your body in the love you give others. Most don’t know, but the secret is that we get to experience His Love, and then we get the privilege of sharing it with others. So then, as the world acknowledges that Love is essential, don’t get carried away by the emotion of the day, but let your faith remind you that God is love, and he created you for his pleasure.

Let wisdom guide you to the truth that we desire love because we desire Him, and when we have Him, we have Love.

Behold, he says I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Obedience is not optional. It is required. The truth is you will obey someone or something, either God by your deliberate choice and submission or the adversary by resisting God and loving the world. That’s a profound thought that leads to the question of the day, Who are you serving?

Interestingly enough, the word makes it clear that serving the Lord is more than a mental notion or feeling; the word is clear you are the servant of the one you obey. Many well-intentioned believers inadvertently serve lawlessness by not wholeheartedly obeying the Lord. God requires that we follow him completely and give ourselves to him unreservedly. He lets us know that small things matter, big things matter, ignorance is not bliss, and yes, he REALLY does know your heart. (Better than you). Today, I hear the Spirit say, choose who you will serve.

Beloved, your life today is the result of all the choices you’ve made so far. If you want a different outcome or a different dynamic in life, you must choose God’s way. He doesn’t fail. He doesn’t lie. He wants your experience in life to match what he promised. You’ve got to go all-in and dismiss all other options.

Obey God. Obey His Word. Obey the leading and direction of His Spirit.  May the Lord’s word be established in you through your radical obedience. May you experience more of him and truly understand the power of his love.

It could also be said that the secret to developing a solid prayer life is to pray. So you must start.
Be deliberate and intentional about your prayer life because the vitality of your prayer life is directly correlated to the vibrancy of your life.

If you’ve struggled with prayer and given up on it, I invite you today to start again. Set an objective and reasonable goal and then pursue it.
What can you give to prayer today for 5, 10, 15 minutes? Commit to your plan, talk to God and then listen.

My prayer for your today is that your faith would be increased as you speak to the one who created you. My prayer for you is that He ignites the fire and passion for prayer in you by reminding you that He is the I AM and longs to talk with each one of his children. Beloved, whatever you’ve done, failed to do, or positively intend to you, I pray that your decisions and choices be anchored in the faith that comes from prayer.

Start again today. He loves you and wants to guide you.

Many interpret the Apostle’s words urging us to love as passive and accepting of everything. Yet true love- the God kind- is active, always giving what is needed for healing, strength, wholeness, and ultimately, the revelation of the glory within the creation or created one.

Yes, love covers a multitude of sins because the character, power, and virtue of love are the basis for forgiveness, grace, and restoration. We must always remember that God is love. Love covers as healing takes place. This covering does not condone or encourage sin; it enables a strength to stand against evil as it freely shares the grace and mercy of God. We honestly only give what we have genuinely received.

If we want to grow in spiritual virtue and live an extraordinarily purpose-filled life, we must ask ourselves, how healing is the love I’m giving? But don’t stop there; also ask yourself how healing is the love I’m receiving? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this verse or topic.

When chaos is present, you shall not fear. 

You shall wait for direction to set things in order. You must have faith – EXERCISED – and resist the urge to complain or be dissuaded or shocked. Recognize that I AM with you, and as I have always done in the days before, I will SPEAK, and order will ensue. You will not move by your own power or might or determination. You must focus only on ME, MY WORD, the testimony of the memorials of my works in your life. You are being called to a deeper relationship and a higher manifestation of my glory. 

Your light must shine in a dark and decaying world. Despite the circumstance or situation, you must know and remember that my plan prevails.  I AM GOD, and there is no other.

Blessings,
