Day 2 of Limitless Love
365 Day Devotional
By Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
A Simple
Supernatural Secret
Something
about the manifest Presence of the Lord is indescribable. Although we know that
God is with us always—when we can sense His Presence and when we can’t—every believer
who has ever experienced the tangible presence of God hungers for it more and
more.
That’s
why we often hear believers praying, “LORD, I want more of You!” Having tasted
the sweet awareness of God’s Presence, they are seeking it with greater fervency
than ever before. They want to experience His nearness and hear His voice. They
don’t just want to know theological facts about God. They want to have living
contact with Him.
Some
try to experience His Presence by running from one meeting to another, seeking
spectacular signs and wonders.
Others
pray for hours, begging and pleading for God to reveal Himself. Certainly, Holy
Spirit anointed meetings are wonderful and prayer is essential, but Jesus gave
us the major key to His manifest Presence that many people overlook – the key
of love.
In
essence He said, “I will manifest Myself to those who believe in Me and keep
the commandment of love.”
Living
a lifestyle of love is essential if you want to maintain vital contact with
God. Every step in love is a step toward Him and every step out of love draws
You away.
Years
ago, Rufus Moseley caught sight of the revelation that if we live by the
commandment of love, God’s Presence will always be with us.
He
said, “I knew this was the secret. If we abide in His love and always go in
love, feeling and willing and giving out nothing but love and all possible love
to men and all things, we will always be in Him and under His anointing.
It
was made known to me that I could write editorials and do everything else that
can be done in the loving Spirit of Jesus. I could even be in heavenly places
while plowing with a mule, pruning trees, in courtrooms, in death cells, in all
places of need, provided all was done in the spirit of love.
What
a wonderfully simple yet supernatural secret. The more we live by love, the
more we’ll experience the manifest presence of God. As we walk in love, we’ll
be increasingly able to sense our LORD JESUS walking with us everywhere we go!
And since His Presence brings fullness of joy, that will make everything we do
a delight!
