“Nothing Can Separate Us from the Love of God”

“4…For Him in love;

5 Having predestined us unto adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the great pleasure of His will,

6 To the praise of the glory of His grace.  Within He hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through He’s blood.  The forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace;

8 Wherein He hath abounded in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might get it together in one.  All things in Christ both which are in Heaven and which are on earth; even in Him:

11 And also we have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of Him that worketh all things after the counsel of His own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of His glory whom that hath first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom we also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also after that ye believed ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.

14 Which is the earnest of inheritance until the redemption of the purchase possession unto the praise of His glory.

15 Wherefore I also after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love into all of the saints,

16 Cease not to give thanks making mention of you in my prayers.

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:

18 That the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is exceeding greatness of His power to us would believe, to the working of His mighty power,

20 Which He wrought in Christ, and He raised Him from the dead, and He set Him at His own right hand in heavenly places,

21 Far above all principalities, powers, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,

23 Which is His body the fullness of Him that fills all in all.

(Ephesians 4:1-23)

Chapter 2:1 And you He hath quickened, He hath quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we had our conversation in times past in  the lust of our flesh fulfilling the desires of our flesh, and of the mind; and whereby nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us;

5 Even when we were dead in sin, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, made us set together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which Christ hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the common wealth of the Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the

blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Chapter 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and

grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Notice here in the red said the fullness of time.  Did you read it, did you hear it? The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, verse 17 in chapter 1:

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.

In Ephesians 6, Therefore brethren be strong in the Lord.  “10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Alright we’ve read these scriptures that would help us to understand what we’re talking about.  He said that He received this from the Lord that we might understand the knowledge and the mystery of Christ, in ages past was not made known unto the men, but now is revealed because it is the fullness of time in the fullness of the Father.  And none of the prophets give it in that time because it was not for that time.  It was not for them to reveal.  But Paul said it was given to him the mystery of the kingdom of God.  The mystery was Christ in us.  We go to Ezekiel 1 and as Ezekiel receives the revelation of Christ we see here in Ephesians also giving to us the revelation of Christ in us the hope of glory.  You see we can go on we can just read and we can study. But unless Christ is revealed to us, unless He becomes everything to us, we’re not going to grow because Christ in us is the one that’s going to establish us with the Father.  Christ in us is the one that’s going to bring us by the spirit of God into that place with the Father that can bring forth even His word which is in truth and in power.  And with all the revelation given to Paul, Paul had to say, it’s Christ in us that’s the hope of glory.  It’s Him that’s going to do the work.  It’s Him that’s going to establish us in His word.  But we must know Him.  We must understand that Christ came to us by His spirit.  And by His spirit we received Him into our heart and our life.  And through His word He establishes the revelation of Himself to us.

In Ezekiel 1, Ezekiel could do nothing until Christ was revealed to him.  He had a call to go to the Israelite people.  But he could not go until he had the revelation of Jesus Christ.  And as he saw Him, he saw him a man.  Now remember this was in Ezekiel’s day, this was before Jesus ever come as the son of man.  But he gave him a revelation of Jesus, the man sitting upon the throne in His glory and there were four creatures that represented the gospels of the kingdom of Jesus Christ.  So Christ comes to us and He live in us, but we have to allow Him to change us, so that His love controls us, not our own will, not our own way, not our theology, not our theories, but Jesus Himself.  Directing us.  And He’ll not lead us wrong, He’ll lead us in truth and the truth will make us free and keep us free.  Well here was Ezekiel, he had a great commission before him.  He was to go to the children of Israel and he was to tell them whether they would hear or they would not hear.  It wasn’t really their business whether they were going to hear or not.  His business was to speak to them.  But before he could speak to them he had to receive from the Father the revelation of Jesus Christ the son of man on the throne in His glory.  There were four creatures that represented the gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ.  One was the lion of the tribe of Judah which represented the Jew, that’s the ones that Ezekiel was called to.  Who were stubborn and rebellious, but He said I’ve called you to them.

So God is calling us today to this last generation, but we’re not going because we have the doctrines of men.  We’re not going because we are anyone.  We’re going because Jesus in us is everything.  Amen.  We allow His love, His love to fill us and sometimes we’re far short of it.  But remember when His love fills us something going to happen to us.  We’re very different.  So when Ezekiel saw Jesus it did something for him.  The spirit of the Lord was upon him.  But in the revelation he revealed the four gospels: Matthew, lion of the tribe of Judah; Mark, the servant, Jesus, the servant; Luke, Jesus the man, and John, the son of God, the deity.  So he not only revealed Christ in his glory, but he revealed the kingdom of God there in Ezekiel 1.  The kingdom of God, Jesus said, He came to us to give to us His kingdom.  Now everything else is of none importance except we’re washed in the blood, born again, filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized.  Everything else comes afterwards.  That’s the beginning.  What glorious privilege we have having this gospel of the kingdom so that we can see it fulfilled in our life as we obey His word.  He’s telling in Ephesians how glorious it is to have Christ in us and have an understanding of what the Father has prepared for us.  You see the fullness of what God has for us is today.  We have no other time for it.  So then we have to empty ourself of everything else and let His love come in us and separate us from the flesh and the devil.  Now His love comes by truth.  His truth never fails.  His love never fails.  And even in Ephesians he was making Himself very real to His people.  But God has given us a commission and this day that the Lord that the Lord works with us.  He is in us.  The spirit of the Lord is come that we might be anointed, that we might come into that place in Him where His love will reach out to a dying world.

Now how is His love demonstrated?  It’s demonstrated how we treat one another.  It’s demonstrated if there’s someone hungry, are we going to feed them?  Or if there are naked,  are they going to be clothed?  You know, when we stand before Him at the judgment He’s not going to ask what kind of great preacher we were.  And how many souls got saved.  He’s going to say I was hungry and you didn’t feed me.  I was naked and you didn’t clothe me.  I was sick and you did not visit me.  I was in prison and you didn’t come to me.  The commission that God has given us in this hour is not just preaching, it’s doing.  So when His love is in us, His love is going to be demonstrated by our love for others.  His love can’t just sit in us and stay, we have to demonstrate it.  Has to come out of us to the hungry, the needy, the sick, the afflicted.  And He’s called us.  This is His kingdom.  This is what Jesus died on the cross to bring to the whole world.  The whole gospel of Jesus Christ [is] that we might meet the needs of the people.  Here Paul was establishing the fact that it was Christ in us that was going to do these things with the wisdom in revelation of  our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation the knowledge of Him.  “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who would believe, according to the working of His mighty power.” (Ephesians 1:18-19)

He said be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  So He gives us the spirit of wisdom.  Gives us the spirit of understanding, the spirit of knowledge, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of might, the spirit of the fear of the Lord,  So that we might bring forth His love and meet the needs of the people.  We see great and mighty things happening today with the homeless, with the sick.  With all those who are in great need.  We see God meeting that need in an awesome way.  This past you did not see, today it’s the fullness of time.  It’s time for the Lord to come again.  But He can’t come until His love is spread about the whole earth.  It can only be spread to the word.  It can’t be because we’re preaching it.  Something else has to happen.  What is it faith without works is dead.  Maybe it’s just spiritual works.  I don’t think so.  I think it is with the awesomeness of what Christ has given to us to give.  We can only give, if we have it to give, is that right?  We can’t give it if we don’t have it.  So He’s making sure we have it to give.

So He’s called us to minister by His spirit so that we can give what He wants us to give.  He has called us. Paul is so careful because he knew that what God had given to him was so different than what they were offering that in his day.  Because here it was by revelation, by the revelation of Jesus.  By the revelation of His word and what was going to happen in hour in the fullness of time.  And now we are in the last days.  We’re seeing the anti Christ making his moves.  Even in recent days we’ve seen these things fit together that it’s startling.  We have to keep our eyes upon Jesus.  We have to remember that it’s His love in us that’s going to those souls.  So He sends us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked.  To show the people what they’re doing wrong.  Not by yelling at them or accusing them, but doing the right thing.  By doing the right thing.  We’re showing what God wants us to do and to say.  Thank God for the word, for the truth, for His love.  And He wants us to grow up in Him, in His love, that we might love one another.

Now God’s love is not human love.  I want this understood.  You aren’t going to love people with God’s love, like you love Him with your human love.  Your human love will get you in trouble all the time.  All the time you’ll get in trouble, so let God take that and let Him give you His love which is real.  If you’re going out working with the people don’t try to smother them with your love, let God’s love be demonstrated and you won’t be bound by anything.  If we use our love to demonstrate to the people we’re going to get bound.  Other people going to get bound.  But if it’s God’s love He doesn’t require anything of us except His love flows out.  And if we let His love flow out we aren’t going to get into trouble.  Because He doesn’t cause with His love.  It’s our love that causes the trouble.  You understand.  Oh I got a friend so I’m going to be friendly, friendly, friendly.  And we get friendly, friendly, friendly we find out our flesh is in the way.  And the Lord’s saying that His love be that which binds you to one another.  We can speak the truth in love and not hate one another.  We can speak the truth in love not to cut somebody down.  Not to reduce them to zero, but with love.  We love them so we want to help them.  So Paul is teaching us something  about Christ in us the hope of glory.  If we can ever realize there’s a lot of changes He wants to make in our daily walk.

There’s a lot of changes He wants to make in our life.  We live here as one big family.  How do you suppose we do it?  Not by human love.  We’d be like wildcats here, wouldn’t we?  But by His love.  Oh sometimes we might get disturbed, but He’s only processing us.  That right.  He’s only processing us so that when we get out there and we really get among the people, we don’t know how to act. And what to say and what not to say.  But bring us forth in His love.  So He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.  But Jesus so loved the world, that He gave us His love in us to govern our life so that His love can be demonstrated through us to a dying world.  Every time they knew it was God who sent us.  Even in the heathen village where we went.  I mean a cannibal village in which we went they knew it was God’s love.  They knew and this is what He’s saying to us tonight we need to understand that He wants to protect us in Him in His love.  So we need to shed the other things that we’re trying to hold onto our love we’re going to reach out to people.  You’re not going to reach out to people with your love.  You’re going to reach out with His love.  Because it’s His love that’s going to change their lives.  And when we reach out it’s the provision that God gives us to help them in the natural and in the spiritual.

It’s hard work.  Most churches won’t have a thing to do with it, because they don’t like the hard work or they think it’s a help program which is a lie from the devil.  It’s the kingdom of God in demonstration and power.  We never forget that.  It’s the kingdom He brought to us.  Not everything else, but the kingdom is in us.  In His love, His peace, His joy, His righteousness and His holiness, nothing else is going to do.  So if we chose other things we’re not going to get very far.  We’re going to mix it with our love, diluted.  It will become of no effect, but if it’s love, then He’s going to draw the people unto Him and not unto us.  So we have to be careful that we’re doing these things according to His word realizing that He’s giving to us of His spirit that we might know what to do and how to do it as He sends us, as He prepares us.  You know you might not think you’re being prepared here.  I don’t know what you think really, but I do know that if we are prepared God’s love is going to be the one that fills us.  Jesus is going to fill us.  Then He’s going to prepare us and then He’s going to send us.  But He’s going to prepare the people to hear us.  So Paul is saying here I’m giving to you the mystery of the kingdom of God.  Christ in us the hope of glory.  It’s Christ that’s going to do these greater works.  We’re not going to do them He’s going to do them through us.  If we think we’re going to take the glory for it we’ll fall flat on our face because He’s going to receive the glory and the glory’s His.  Amen.  He’ll allow us to go in His glory.  He’ll allow us to speak by His spirit, but that glory’s His and He wants to put it in us to shine that’s His business, but it’s not our business.  So we have to know that it’s His love in us that’s going to win souls for us.

His word will prevail; it will prevail a lot by what we say and what we do.  Mainly what we do, because sometimes, what we do speaks so loud we can’t hear what we’re saying.  Isn’t that right?  So we have to remember, we’re here for training.  We’re for the Lord to teach us His ways.  We’re here that He take out the work of the flesh and the works of the devil and put His love in us and put plan His truth in us, so that we can stand in this hour when the darkness is covering the earth, but He said as truly as I live saith the Lord my glory shall cover the whole earth and it hasn’t come yet.  It is going to come.  It is going to come through the people who have allowed Jesus to arise in them the king of glory.  It’s going to come through those that have allowed His love to saturate their being and allowing Him to be seen in us.  And they will see Him in us if we allow His love to penetrate through all the darkness and His light because He wants us to put on His armor of light.  And as we obey Him as in Isaiah 58, He said if we obey Him our light will be as the morning.  If we do some other things He tells us our light as the noon day.  So His light will come more and more as we allow His love to saturate us.  And realizing that with that love is the truth and the truth is going to stand.  The truth will stand when everything else fails.  His love will stand when everything else fails.  And men and women will come to Him through His love and through His glory.

We’re in the last days, but it’s in a mighty work that God is doing all over this world.  Mighty in His love.  Mighty in His glory.  Mighty in His provision of His kingdom up to help to change lives and in no way is the gospel just preaching.  No way is it just teaching.  It’s living it.  It’s that love that comes forth day by day that reaches out to men and women and children.  It’s that love, that’s going to change their lives.  The word, His word is mighty.  But it has to go together.  It has to go in the natural and the spiritual.  It has to flow together.  It’s the only way that man’s lives can be changed.  This day there’s millions out there that don’t know Jesus and we have to allow the Lord to change our lives so that His love penetrates into the lives of others not our human love.  Not our buddy, buddy but the love of Jesus which sits men and women free, sits us free.  If we’re willing and obedient to Him.  His word, His word is mighty.  His living word.  Paul said, ye are what?  Living epistles read by all men.  What do you think He wants us to do in this age when it’s the very fullness of time.  He wants that light to become so bright, that love so mighty, the glory so mighty that it will penetrate through Buddhism, Communism any kind and Hinduism any kind of things of darkness because the light is going to expel the darkness.  But it has to come through Christ in us.  We’re willing to let Him become the king of glory in us then we’re going to shine.  And He’s going to shine.

So who is this king of glory?  The Lord hosts. Great and mighty.  Open your heart and let Him come in, let Him become the ruler of your life.  Let Him penetrate through the darkness and bring the light to us.  You cannot hold His love, you have to give it.  The more you give, the more He gives.  The more His glory comes.  Isaiah is the demonstration of His kingdom.  Isaiah 58, Romans 8 is the power of the kingdom.  Shall any of these things separate us from the love of God?  Shall I read it to you?  Romans 8, read this again.

1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  We’re free.  For what the law can not do Jesus did.  So we have a new spirit in us, a new law, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Alright. The 35th verse says:

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Amen.  Then if the trials come then we have to be more than conquerors.  It’s here were not going to allow anything to separate us from the love of God.  So what.  If we have circumstances that we can’t ride over then we better ask Him to ride over it.  If you can’t ride those circumstances we’re not going anywhere until we do go over them. So we might as well make up our mind nothing is going to separate us.  Not circumstances, no people no attitude, no reactions of other people are going to cause us to react.  Because God’s love doesn’t react.  Does it? No.  It only reacts in love.  Amen.  Not in retaliation.  Not in all the stuff that’s in our human.  Only His love.  None of these things shall separate us from the love of God.  Not anything.  So we have to purpose in our mind regardless of the circumstance.  We have to rise above that circumstance in love and withstand the enemy in God’s love and He will prevail for us.  Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.  From the love of God through Christ in us.  We need to settle it in our hearts, settle it in our hearts that the way.

He’s given to us a new law.  This law the spirit of life, no one can take that law from us if we really, realize Satan has no power because we’re no longer under the law of sin and death.  If we’re under the law of sin and death we’re going to be taken by it.  But if we’re in the new law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus we don’t have to give place to the law of sin and death because it’s not a part of life any more.  The sooner we realize that the quicker we quit letting the devil tear us down.  Or circumstances tear us down.  Rise us and realize that God is the one and it’s His love that’s going to penetrate through the barriers.  It’s His love that’s going to cause us stand and nothing shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. Well we need to know He’s in us and He wants to come forth full stature in us, in the king of glory come and none of these things shall separate us from the love of God.  We need to be determined that nothing is going to come between God’s love in Jesus to us and through us.

Tonight we go through battles when we get disturbed by it.  God doesn’t want the disturbance.  He wants us to realize we have the victory and we don’t yield to the things the enemy tries to put asunder.  We have to arise and allow Christ to arise in us.  Allow the King of glory to come in and then He will cause us to rise in the fullness of the spirit of God in the fullness of His love.  The fullness of the Father, the fullness of the Son, the fullness of the spirit and the fullness of time.  We’re not going to sit here 20 or 40 years.  The fullness of time is here.  What are we going to do with it?  Are we going to be defeated by the little junk the enemy throws at us?  No.  We’re not going to be affected by it.  Amen.  Get some determination inside.  When we get that determination, nothing’s going to separate us from the love of God.  Nothing will, because God’s right there to preserve us and help us.  We have to understand we have a new law, it’s the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.  God’s mighty love and His love never fails.  It’s a new life in us.  We no longer have law of sin and death and the sooner you realize it, you’ll quit struggling with the devil, you’ll cast him aside and you’ll know I’m under a new law.  The law of the spirit of life and nothing is going to separate me from the love of God.  Then we’re going to stand.  We need to arise, we need to get determined.  We need to say nothing can separate us from God’s love.

It’s His love He’s using today to penetrate through the darkness.  It’s His glory today He’s going to penetrate through the darkness.  And those two things are going to be the things that God uses and if we don’t have His love in us, if we don’t have His glory in us forget about what your going to do.  It isn’t going to work.  But if He’s there.  Nothing’s going to stop us.  Nothing will defeat us.  We will be filled with His love.  And filled with His glory and His light will shine and the darkness shall be expelled by the light.  It’s up to us to let Him do it and He will do it.  What if we get tangled up in the things of this world and tangled us because things are said the way we don’t think they should have been said and we have attitudes we’re hindering.  We’re hindering His love from filling our temple.  We’re hindering the fullness of what He has for us that nothing shall separate us from the love of God.  Not anything can separate us, because God is in us.  Jesus is in us and that love nothing can separate us from it.  If we realize we have a new law in us and it’s the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that keeps us so that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.  Amen.

Father we praise You.  We thank You for this word tonight.  We pray You impart it to each of us in the very fullness of the Holy Spirit.  Cause us to realize Lord, we don’t have to be discouraged.  We don’t have to be tormented.  We don’t have to feel bad, but we can arise and give Your word, Your love, Your peace, Your joy to those around about us.  Jesus, impart this word tonight to each of us.  And let us realize we have a new law inside of us.  No longer the law of sin and death, but the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath made us free so that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, love of God.  We give You praise tonight for this word and we thank You to impart it to each of us mighty God so we’ll not be affected by the circumstances.  We’ll not be affected by people or things.  We will allow this love to penetrate every part of our being and nothing will be able to separate us from You or from Your love and Your glory.

Thank You Lord, bless each one here tonight.  We ask You to move in a very powerful way in our lives.  Let this word become life to us to night and fill us with Your love and Your fullness of Your spirit.  We thank You Lord for the word that You’ve given tonight.  We thank You for imparting it to each of us that we might become strong in the Lord and in the power of Your might  That we’ll surely know that nothing can separate us from Your love.  Father we love each and every one here tonight.  We love them with the love of the Lord.  We love them mighty God, by Your Spirit and through Spirit we ask Your blessings on each and every one of them.  Lord I just ask You to release anyone tonight that needs to be set free.  Even by this word Lord, set them free tonight and let them realize what we have in Christ Jesus that’s made us free from the law of sin and death.  We give You glory now Jesus.  We praise You for this word that You have imparted to us this night, that we may arise with strength, with boldness, with the declaration that nothing shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.  We give You praise.  We worship You Father.  We thank You Jesus for making the way for us to have a new life in Christ Jesus filled with Your love, filled with Your peace, filled with Your joy.  Mighty God Your righteousness and Your holiness.  Thank You for this work Lord.  We thank You for this place.  We thank You for every child and every and adult.  We thank You for every person that’s here tonight.  Jesus we give You glory and we give You praise, for we ask it in Your wonderful name and for Your glory Jesus.

Amen.
