God’s Love Bubbles

On Valentine’s Day, Elder Eric Taylor encouraged the congregation that loving one another like God loves requires vulnerability, trust and transparency, and he committed to loving the family that meets here at Liberty as God loves them. Today, Elder Eric shared from his heart of how the Lord is working in his life to bring him into the freedom that Christ gives. Eric shared that God has been revealing the subtle lies of the enemy he had been believing for years that were stealing his joy and power and freedom, and causing him to sin. Eric encouraged each person to ask God to show them what lies of the devil they were believing, and to ask God to reveal the truth of God and apply the truth of God’s Word. In God’s Kingdom, vulnerability is victory, transparency is freedom, selflessness brings fulfillment, and humility positions you to be used by God. God is working to bring the whole Body of Christ into being the Bride without spot or wrinkle. When you get out of your comfort zone to be transparent and humbly obey God, you discover God is with you—and there is nothing as wonderful as the transformation and freedom that realization brings!

God is reESTABLISHING Love to be the driving force for His people. We are in a new season of God’s Love blowing on us and awakening our capacity to carry His Love forward to others. God is changing you from the inside out to desire more of Him. He is causing you to know who you really are, and more importantly, He is restoring you to feel the Presence of God. God says to increase your faith by being in His presence. As Love increases by being in His Presence, it causes your capacity to believe to increase also. Say to the Lord, “I want all that You have,” and then He will meet with you and store His treasures inside of you, and you will pass them on to other people! God is full of Love and answers, and He wants you to experience His Love so much that His love does not just reside in you, but it bubbles up within you, and overflows out of you to others

Pastor Dawn released a timely prophetic word during worship. The Lord said to His people, “Don’t just visit Me; instead, dwell inside Me and abide in Me. Press through to breakthrough!” We are realizing that God is doing something unusual at Liberty to reESTABLISH the foundation and direction of the Church. In studying Nehemiah‘s challenge of building up the broken down walls of Jerusalem in 52 days, we recognize that God is also moving supernaturally to build up our broken down walls in these days. Many people gave their testimony of what God is doing in their lives, and we are more determined than ever to fulfill the purpose of God for Liberty. It is exciting to see and hear what God is doing to ignite each one personally, to fire each person up and help them to fulfill the plan of God for their lives. It is also exciting to see the teams God is putting together and see how they encourage one another:

It is an extremely exciting but very uncomfortable time in the Church, because God is getting each one of us out of our comfort zone and into the place where we know we can’t do it without Him—and that’s a good thing! God is restoring our purpose to us. He has a plan and a goal, and we get to be part of what God is doing! It is in our relationship with God that we are changed, and learn to walk in a victorious attitude so we don’t focus on being afraid of what the enemy is doing. In the Bible, Nehemiah, Moses, Gideon, David, Peter and Saul who became Paul saw themselves a certain way, but it’s a good thing that God saw each one His way. No matter what the enemy has tried to tell us, it is a good thing that we are His beloved, and we are learning how much God loves us. Pastor Dawn invited those who wanted to be prayed for about a spirit of fear to come up and receive personal prophetic ministry, and many were set free and the glory of God came down in our midst!

Pastor Dawn gave a very comforting “now” Word from the Lord encouraging us that God will cause our lives to change as He brings us into great blessing. We are discovering that God is reestablishing the Church by bringing out the treasures in each person for such time as this. God is in these opportunities to impact lives, and just as He did in Acts 2, God is giving us great favor! A great awakening is starting in the Church, just as the Holy Spirit did when He added 3,000 believers on the Day of Pentecost. Pastor Dawn and her daughter, Tearsa, presented testimonies of people in the Church coming alive as the Holy Spirit gives them unique strategies for being a blessing. Pastor Dawn prayed for each one as we celebrate what God is doing in the newfound boldness of each believer, and the joy they have as they pursue their God-given assignments and learn that love gives and love is relational

Many of you are thinking God is just requiring more of us at this time, but God is actually re-establishing the Church to operate out of love. God‘s heart is for you to know Him and the way He loves. As you see people through God‘s eyes, you will discover your own purpose as well. Your gifts make room for you when you release them, and you are going to get ignited by God’s love to release what’s on the inside of you. However much you love is how much you will partner with God to influence others. God has invested in you to know Him, to enjoy Him, and to let your gifts come alive in the fire of the Holy Spirit to love like He loves. Pastor Dawn released the prophetic team to prophesy: Duffy Skinner, Tearsa Burgess, Jonathan Taylor, and Pastor Dawn ministered prophetically to Lorania, Alvin, James, Daryl, Andres Junior, Sandee, Andres, Nicholas, and Priseis. Then Pastor Dawn released the congregation to minister God‘s love and pray prophetically for each other

God wants us to be re-established in our relationship with Him and come into a place of real intimacy with Him. God wants to re-establish His promise and make it come alive for us. If we say yes to wholeheartedly doing our part with God, then we know the whole Church is going to ARISE. We will come into a place of expectancy because of our obedience. We know that sin is not a happy lifestyle, but the truth is setting us free. Sin messes us up, but God’s righteousness fills us up and gives us a life that satisfies. To ARISE means to get up, to increase in intensity, to take up arms and stand for victory, and move forward in the power of the Holy Spirit! Relationship with God is always the key that will open the door into the unknown and make Him known. We are called and equipped by God, and we will overcome and shout the victory! Pastor Dawn led us in a time of sweet communion, focusing on our relationship with our Father God

When you feel like you are pushing something up a hill, and you don’t enjoy it anymore it is a good sign the season is changing. God is calling us to embrace the change, shake off the old, receive the new assignments from Him, and engage others to do the same. God is adjusting hearts, mindsets and focus, because He loves us and wants us to be effective. Nehemiah had to stop seeing himself as a cupbearer for the king, and see himself as a servant of the King of kings. We also must see ourselves as servants of the Most High King, see the Church and the culture through God‘s eyes, be honest about what has broken down, repent and pray. Pastor Dawn showed a video encouraging us not to say, “BUT I can’t…” when God calls us. We may have many excuses, but when we say yes wholeheartedly and let God reestablish us, others will rise and run with the vision, too! We want to find broken people and help them rebuild their lives in line with all that God wants for them

When you KEEP FIRST THINGS FIRST through faith and obedience, you turn God‘s promise into abundant provision. “First fruits“ means in first place, and in Hebrew, it literally means “activate the promise to come.” Abraham’s life proved out that God wants to bless you supernaturally and make you a blessing, and God wants the world to wonder where you got the provision. When Abraham got into doubt and questioned if God was withholding from him, since he did not yet have a son, he learned how to sow a seed in faith and then the promise became real again. God’s way, as seen in Genesis 15:2-18, is for you to give to God first, then He multiplies it and gives you more than enough. We give to prove we trust God that He is going to turn our seed into a harvest—blessed in the spiritual and blessed in the natural.

God is bringing us to a place where we know He is doing something new and we must embrace it, just as Mary embraced the move of God when God’s Holy Spirit overshadowed her life. We have come from one kingdom into another Kingdom because of God‘s supernatural love. No other god has supernatural Love for you—only God, and He is still revealing Himself to you. His supernatural divine influence comes to live on the inside of you, and your part is to embrace His love and experience the transforming power of God to flow through you to others. The awakening is about who He is in you, and who He is through you to others. Love is what sets us apart, and God is Love. God‘s love moves hearts and moves mountains, and Jesus came so we can experience the power of the impossible again every day!
