God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.\u201d&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; However, the adversary of God knows this too.&amp;nbsp; So he does the opposite. The Bible says he comes to kill steal and destroy.  The devil uses the same 3 tricks most of the time and we miss it.&amp;nbsp; We don\u2019t see it. &amp;nbsp; We don\u2019t recognize when we are being used by him to do his work.&amp;nbsp; It\u2019s either Love or it\u2019s everything else.  &amp;nbsp; We don\u2019t know that \u201cfriendship with the world is an enmity with God - James 4:4 &amp;nbsp; You can\u2019t be worldly and be Godly.&amp;nbsp; You can\u2019t be left and be right.&amp;nbsp; You are either hot or cold.&amp;nbsp; Lukewarm coffee is nasty.&amp;nbsp; So is a lukewarm spirit. &amp;nbsp; God is love.&amp;nbsp; We like love.&amp;nbsp; I like love.&amp;nbsp; Growing up I couldn\u2019t wait till I got a girlfriend to love.&amp;nbsp; I used to dream about it all the time.&amp;nbsp; Were you like that?&amp;nbsp; I was romantic too.&amp;nbsp; Couldn\u2019t get a girlfriend to save my life.&amp;nbsp; I was awkward. I didn\u2019t have any game.&amp;nbsp; I used to go to skating rink with my friend Chuckie.&amp;nbsp; Chucky was smooth.&amp;nbsp; Chuckie could skate like he was flying.&amp;nbsp; All I wanted back then was to be on the skating rink floor when they had the couples skating. That was going to be fire for me.&amp;nbsp; Me and her, skating through life together. That was the extent of my love knowledge back then.&amp;nbsp; That wasn\u2019t God.&amp;nbsp; It\u2019s like how we think church is supposed to be but don\u2019t have Gods love in it. &amp;nbsp; https:\/\/speaklifechurch.net&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"BroKen &amp; Believing  | Rev.
