CHOOSE: TO PASS THE "LOVE" TEST

Most all of us know the answers to the "love' test......but it takes enact of the will to live them.
Spiritual telepathy from Katherine Abraham----the perfect LOVE card to be a title for the "test."
Deuteronomy 13:3 says that "God gives us tests." 
The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.
LOVE TEST--Pray and proceed.
  1. Do you know Jesus? The answer can be found in John 3:16 & 1 John 5:1.
  2. How is your walk? Does it reflect your love of the LORD?The answer can be found in Galatians 5:16 & & Ephesians 5:8.
  3. Do you worship Him and Him only?The answer can be found in Deuteronomy 5:7, Psalm 16:2 & Psalm 27:4.
  4. Do you have fellowship with other believers? The answer can be found in Psalm 55:14, Acts 4:42, 1 John 1:7 & Hebrews 10:25.
  5. Is all your joy in Him? The answer can be found in Nehemiah 8:10 & Psalm 16:11 & John 15:11.
  6. Is the LORD your refuge? The answer can be found in Psalm 46:1, Psalm 62:8 & Psalm 91:2.
  7. Is the LORD your hope? The answer can be found in  & Romans 15:13 .
Why 7 questions you ask. See what God's word says the number 7 represents.
I choose to pass the test and hope that's your choice as well.

E.G.O.

8/23/10 Edging God Out….that’s what our ego does. It puts self in the forefront. The more of self, the less of God….a “more of me less of Thee” concept. With this mentality that is so prevalent in a “ME first” / “watch out for # 1” society, problems abound. Why? We become our own god---thinking our purpose on earth is for our pleasure/happiness and comfort. But God says………….
You shall have no other gods before Me. (Deuteronomy 5:7)
To find true joy, change your purpose. Follow God’s word.
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)
Love God first, neighbor second and then self----it’s the way to live well---“dance” if you will!
