Lifeless

Her life was defined by:
Unhealthy choices.
Rejection.
Aloneness. 
It was as if she was stuck in a lifeless state.  A friend convinced her to ask Christ to step into her life.  The presence of Christ changed her.  She felt like a  new person.  Nothing seemed the same.

Life changed when she discovered the love of God overpowered her lifeless condition.
The Apostle Paul wrote about the overflowing love that transforms individuals.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment . . .  (Philippians 1:9)



That your love may abound more and more: The abiding presence of God becomes a wellspring of love within our mind, heart, and soul. Love grows through understanding  that Christ is the source. His love overflows . . . transforming and changing who we are.  Life is no longer about self . . . but about Christ . . . as the love of Christ flows out of our own life.

in real knowledge and all discernment:
Knowledge with full insight occurs through a personal experience. In other words, we understand that the love of God will never be contained. His love moves into the hearts of the most resistant individuals to the point that love becomes irresistible for the first time in life.


Allow the Spirit of God to empower you with His love.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . in the love of God that abounds,

Pastor Kerrie
