“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. -Luke 14:26,27 ESV

Does GOD sit on your throne? Is there anything that you fear MORE, love MORE, DESIRE more, think about MORE…than God? Do you YEARN for God as a LOVER for their LOVE? Song of Solomon 8:6; Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave; its flashes are flashes of fire, flame of the LORD. 

Leader, we LISTEN to our friends, we listen to ourselves (thinking), we listen to the news, to TV and to policemen, BUT do YOU listen to God? Jesus himself questioned those that profess to LOVE HIM, but don’t listen to Him. (Luke 6:46) and in John 14:15 makes the definitive condition of LOVE for HIM; “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

 Conduit, demonstrate your LOVE for God the Father through your BELIEF in HIS son, Jesus. For at the Transfiguration (Mat 17, Lk 9), God Spoke clearly and said, ““This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” Today, God speaks to us through HIS WORD. When you KNOW the WORD of GOD, then you KNOW JESUS. To know HIM is to LOVE HIM!
