Daily Walking in God’s Love

by Keith Butler | The Anointed Word

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23 KJV).

God wants daily fellowship with you. Here are some things that will help you walk in the love of God daily in your relationships with others.

  • Give attention to the Holy Spirit. He is the love of God. Start with the Holy Ghost before you turn on the Today Show.
  • Spend time in prayer in the morning. Even if it is just a few minutes, spend time in prayer before God, before you leave the house in the morning.
  • Meditate the Scriptures before you leave. Begin to think upon it, particularly if you are in a situation when something stormy is happening between you and someone. Turn to the love Scriptures and meditate those. You will find that the power that is inherent in the Word of God will get on you. Instead of walking in the flesh in your relationships, you will find yourself walking in the spirit, walking in love.

Do you know what would happen if God were tired of dealing with us? If God were like us, He would have said, “I’ve told that boy 10 times not to act like that. Forget him.” Thank God, He doesn’t do that. His mercies are new every morning. Thank God, His compassion fails not. Thank God that the love of God is always available to us. Thank God that He is not like us. He expects us to be like Him.

If you are dealing with a situation where you are in conflict with somebody, take a moment to lift your hands to the Lord. Say from your heart to the Lord, “Father I forgive that person. I roll this care over on You right now. I’m not going to hate them. I’m not going to stay in strife with them. I’ll forgive them in my heart right now in the name of Jesus.”

By doing that you have put yourself in position where your faith can work, and deliverance can be brought to you in this situation. Now pray for that person right now. Ask God to bless them. Ask God to heal them. Ask God to provide for them. Do it right now in Jesus’ name. Now praise God for it.
