Revelation of the Spirit - #5 The Enemy tell us our Love for God is not sincere.

Ok so I think that God has been waiting my entire life for me to have this revelation. I have always felt as though my love and caring for the Lord has been so insincere. I felt not worthy of even trying to love the Lord. But today I was reading a book called The Seven Longings of the Human Heart, and I'm only on chapter one and it's entitled The Longing to be Enjoyed by God. I'm almost at the end of this chapter really enjoying it and loving the feelings i'm getting from God knowing how much He enjoys me and loves me when I come across these lines.

"The enemy accuses us on two fronts. First, he tell us that we're rejected by God rather than beloved.(Get ready for this next one!) Second, he says we're not sincere in our lvoe of God because our love is weak The enemy tells us that our weak love is pitiable and diluted, and even that it is completely false. When we finally understand that neither of these precepts are true, the enemy loses his ability to accuse us in these areas."

I was flabbergasted in reading this. I can't tell you how many times I sat before the Lord in worship and I tried and tried so hard to prove to the Lord that my love was sincere and wanted so badly to feel God accepted that sincere love and knew it was only for Him that I felt that love. When in fact the Lord knew my heart all along and knew how sincere my love was and is. And the enemy was there lying to me telling me my love is not sincere and not true.

Praise God! This revelation has truely changed my entire perspective and my heart more than I can explain. There's a song called Shout Unto God that makes want to sing now. Here are some words.

The enemy has been defeated.
And death could hold me down.
I'm gunna lift my voice in victory.
I'm gunna make your praises loud.

Shout unto God with a voice of triumph
Shout unto God witha voice of praise.

I have the victory in Jesus and the last stronghold of the enemy in my heart has been defeated! Praise God! I am in true love with MY SAVIOR!


Amen.
