Loveway: The Heart Behind It All
Spiritual growth requires understanding. Even more than simply information alone. My mission is to open spiritual pathways for people, born in the revelation of the love of the Father, the communion of the Holy Spirit and the Grace of the Lord Jesus. To be a compass. A revealer of a God breathed understanding, that opens a door of awakening to accelerate people to abide in the love of the Father. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth, the breath of God. The transformed life is found in the abiding experience. The exchanges of the nature of the Father are experienced through love of the Father in the grace of Jesus and communion of the Holy Spirit. Transformed from glory to glory. On a regular basis, people will have access to these revelational insights that open pathways to grow in and be transformed through abiding in the love of the Father. These teachings will be in the form of video, podcast, and in writing.
I believe we are in the midst of a third great awakening. The first awakening was the revelation of the saving life of Jesus Christ that opened the understanding of grace. Grace to be saved, and grace to freely receive all that has been made available through the death and resurrection of Jesus. The second great awakening was in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit 113 years ago that transformed Christendom globally and has brought about a global harvest of people entering into the saving life of Jesus and living in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. The third great awakening is the revelation of the Father. And in one all encompassing word, it is the awakening into the majesty, glory, an infinite understanding of who the Father is, in and through the experiencing of his love.
The Father’s love imparts authentic identity. Through his love, the Father’s divine purpose for our lives is revealed. The glory of God is revealed through love. Broken hearts are healed through the Father’s love and glory. Rejection, feeling unloved, broken hearts, insecurity, fear, shame, guilt, separation of all forms, feeling judged, envy, jealousy, depression, and deep pains are healed and transformed in the love of the Father. In the love of the Father there is the transition from being orphaned children with an a need to perform to be accepted and qualified to belong through human works. Instead there is the transformation into being sons and daughters, unconditionally qualified, secured, such that nothing that separate you from the love of the Father. In love you enter into the realm of living before an audience of One. Your loving Father. There is no longer the need or requirement to be defined, accepted, or validated by others. Freedom to be. Freedom in being accepted. Belonging and security in the Father’s love.
All Jesus did and and was, was the the manifestation of his love relationship with the Father. ‘Jesus said I can do nothing of myself - I only say what I hear the Father saying and do what I see the Father doing. If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.’ Jesus looked like, and emulated the Father in every way, though love.
Jesus opened the way so that we can enter into the same love yoke with the Father in the midst of the heavy burdens of life. In love, we enter into the eternal nature of the Father.
We are transformed in and through abiding in the love of God. The great exchanges of all that the Father desires for our lives in every way, is made possible through the grace of Jesus Christ. The invitation to experience all the Father longs to reveal and transform our lives in, is accessed through the experience of abiding in the love of the Father and learning to live from this place of abiding. A supernatural life is unveiled, found in the love of God.
Loved people love. We love because we are loved. This is much more than a concept, and more than a belief. It is an experiential place of exchange with the Father and with people. A reference place. An anchor for living and relating.
Evangelism as we know it, shifts as loved people love freely. Love cuts through religious separation and reaches the cry of every heart wanting to know what true love is. Loving people supersedes accepting people based upon common, shared beliefs. We love those who are separated from the love of the Father. Love lives for others, elevates others as first. Loved people love unconditionally in the same manner that they have been and are loved. Loved people bring acceptance, security. Loved people reach out with caring hearts and compassion. The gravity of this love draws people into the loving heart of the Father through the infinite grace of Jesus. All are accepted to be loved, none rejected.
The heartcry of people is to belong. Not only to belong, find identity, security and purpose in the Father’s love. But also to find belonging and security in relationships. Institutions cannot provide this to the depth of a person’s true need. This is found in family. Family found in the heart and heart of the Father’s love. And where as few as two or three are gathered in the name of Jesus, the love of God is present in their midst. And in spiritual families, loved people love.
People are not designed to live in isolation, in a state of loneliness. Yet so many do, and increasingly so. People thrive, grow, discover purpose, experience security in the communion of spiritual family. This is deeper than listening to a message in a building or online. There is an irreplaceable need for loving relationships in the heart of every person. And for many, there is a deep need for healing of the heart to enter into this place of common unity in the Father’s love.
Children are meant to grow in a family. Not in an orphanage or alone. The same is true for the Father’s children. Spiritual Father’s and mother’s are vital for the security, strength and understanding of the Father they bring as people become more deeply rooted and grow in the love of the Father and the knowledge of God, being transformed in the process. The desire of the Father is the restoration of the hearts of the fathers and mothers to the sons and daughers so that the Father’s blessing can flow freely (Mal 4). This is found in family that unfolds as a love filled community. A hydroponic environment for spiritual growth and to bring those deeply needing to experience true love can come to as a safe place. Loved people love. There is a multiplication of lives coming to Jesus in the environment where loved people love and they grow together in spiritual family in the common heart of the Father’s love.
The same will be true for Father and mothers to experience ever deeper understanding in the uniqueness of their relationship in the heart of the love of the Father. The qualification to be a spiritual father or mother is by virtue of having experienced the love of the Father. Loved people love. Spiritual fathers and mothers are a lifeline of strength to the people young in their experience and knowledge of God and his word. The power of fathers and mothers to pray for their sons and daughters, and to be a voice of acceptance and wisdom is invaluable. I intend to provide regular teaching in video, podcast and written form to these fathers and mothers as well. The purpose of bringing teaching to those new in the relationship with the Father will also make it so much easier for Fathers and mothers in not having to provide core teaching on a regular basis. Their primary purpose is to pray for, to stand with, support and bring counsel to their sons and daughters.
The spiritual families will be led by the fathers and mothers. Many of these people may have a gift and calling in their life, with commensurate graces and anointings for what is generally regarded as ministry. But the core qualifying quality to be the head of a spiritual family is that they are people who have experienced the love of the Father, and been personally transformed by this love. From this foundation, safe and loving spiritual families will grow and grow as people new in Christ will regard their spiritual family as a safe place to bring their friends to experience the same love as they are experiencing. Loved people love.
After a month or two in a person’s spiritual journey a spiritual father or mother may determine that it is an ideal time for a number of people in their family, and perhaps join with another spiritual family to have a day dedicated to guide people into deeper spiritual breakthroughs and experience. This day would ideally be led by the spiritual father and mother. On that day, people could be water baptized, ideally by the spiritual Father and mother and the person who led the individual to receive Jesus as savior and Lord. People could encounter the Holy Spirit in a deeper measure. It could be a day to address generational curses, iniquity and infirmity in people’s lives. For some it could a day to deal with trauma, spiritual strongholds, walk people through forgiveness and receive healing in their hearts. The result of a day such as this will be extraordinary as people are launched into a whole new level of spiritual freedom and awakening.
The wineskin for the love of the Father is family. Sadly many people do not experience family in and through a larger corporate gathering, where they attend a Sunday church service at best once per week. Many get lost. Others prefer to be distant and relationally disconnected. They attend church as a more of a religious tradition but rarely do people with this heart live to bring others to the saving life of Jesus and to connect them into relationship in a spiritual family.
At the core of the DNA of the revelation of the love of the Father is family. And within family, loved people love. The heartbeat to love others is a central core in the D of spiritual families. People do not attend to have selfish interests satisfied, like unto eating from a banquet table. Rather, the core is in joining together in a loving, caring family where each person is vitally important. And the people that they care about, and are in their heart matter as well. Prayer in the group involves not just praying for the needs of the spiritual family members, but also for the people they are carrying in their heart. The spiritual family becomes a loving heart not just for the family members but also for those they carry about. And in time, it is inevitable that many of these people will connect to the love of God found in this spiritual family. And these people in turn begin to receive the daily teaching from myself that will point them to experience first hand abiding experience in the love of the Father. Soon these people, in their experience of being loved will diverse to love others in a similar way. The result is a rapidly multiplying spiritual family, rooted and grounded in an every growing experiential understanding of the love of the Father.
