Circular definitions are designed to confuse you long enough to deceive you!
Question: What is Love?
’ahăbâ- romantic love, familial love, and the love between friends.
phileo- love of friendship, affection, feeling or impulse.
agape- love of esteem regard, a sacrificial love, perfect love; or love of choice.
Phileo is the lesser love of feeling and Agape the greater love of choice.

Agape chooses to love when Phileo doesn’t feel like it!
Relationship With God.

Caution: It can't be real/true love if God’s not in it!
Beloved is what God calls those He loves!
Practical Advice: Spend this year learning, reading, and highlighting verses on love.
God is love
God is love, but love is not God!

If you don’t know God’s radical love, you can be deceived by a radicalized love!
God loves people.
God's love is POWERFUL
Practical Advice: Memorize the Love chapter (1 Corinthians 13).
Love is the “first” fruit of the Spirit
We’re commanded to love people/ “neighbor”
The Bible teaches that our love should be on display
Husbands should be leading in love
The Bible teaches that love disciplines
Love defeats a spirit of fear!
CAUTION: A quick sign you are not abiding in the love of God is fear!
Love removes offenses
Love is connected to forgiveness
Love is connected to truth
Love is God fighting for you

Love our enemies

Question: Who do you hate?
The Bible teaches to not love money
The Bible teaches to not love the world
Those that love God, obey God
4 Ways To Love God

1. Loving God with all your heart = God is first!
Question: Is God really first in my life?
2. Loving God with your soul = a Kingdom perspective
3. Loving God with your mind = you know why you love God!
4. Loving God with your strength = I love God with all my resources!
Question: What makes love radical?

Love Is radical when there's no reason for it!
THE FEAR OF THE LORD - Holy Reverence, Deep Love/Honor For Him.
Question: Why do you love God?
Radical Love is when you love God for no reason!
Radical Love is when you love like Jesus!
Radical Love can reach anyone!
2025 is the Year of Radical Love

This year you will be radically loved by God and radically love like God!

This is the year you love God like He loves you… FOR NO REASON!

This year you will love God GREATER than you have ever loved Him before!

You will love God, His word, His people and His house (the Church) greater!

“MORE RADICAL”
This Church becomes more radical in our faith More radical in our relationship with God.

Your relationship with God is PUBLIC!
I saw your boldness take form.

Boldness became focused, and it pleased the Lord!

I saw radical healings meeting you in the place of radical love and radical faith!

I saw you like Peter stepping out in faith to meet Jesus. (Matthew 14)

“Don’t love Me for healings but love Me and watch Me heal!”
This is a season of REQUIRED FRUIT!
It’s a Luke 13 Year
The Parable Of The Barren Fig Tree

The Master is coming expecting to find fruit.
The Master is coming for His fruit in his people and His church!

He’s requiring spiritual fruit
He’s requiring forgiveness
He’s requiring a sabbath’s rest!

It’s a Matthew 3:8 Year
A year of repentance
You will bear fruit by keeping with repentance!

You will see beautiful “Godly sorrow” this year.

“WE’RE TAKING CHURCH TO THEM!”

The GIFTS of the Spirit will be in operation… The gifts of the Spirit are coming ALIVE in those with the fruit of the Spirit!

This is a year of salvation!

His fruit will be a harvest of salvation!

Your fruit of the Spirit and radical love in every day life will lead people to SALVATION.
Season of the storehouse
As your soul prospers so will your life

Like Joseph And the 7 years of prosperity in Egypt, There will be a season of prosperity for God’s people to STORE UP.

It’s prosperity with purpose!

Your prosperity is NOT FOR YOU! You are the steward. Your ability to steward what is His will determine the more God entrusts you with!

Like In Matthew 25: God IS ENTRUSTING Good Stewards with MORE this year!
PROPHETIC WARNING: We are in the season of the accuser of the brethren.
The accuser is not hiding but the church can't see him!

He comes to sow “weeds/tares among the wheat”

The Enemy is doing this!

In a season of necessary exposing of the unrighteousness the enemy is trying to get the righteous with the unrighteous!

The accuser of the brethren is when the church partners with a spirit of the world they call “CANCEL CULTURE”.

That’s why God has raised up a mercy culture to triumph over a judgment culture!

This is a James 2:13 year.
The good news is Jesus has been praying for you!
When you are accused, “BE STILL and know that I’m God!” (Psalm 46:10)
Spiritual Warfare

Participate”.This year there will be assignments that require your participation!

Be On The Offensive!

There will be opportunities to get distracted but like David keep your eyes on the Lord & keep giants in their proper place.

“Unholy alliances WILL BE BROKEN!”

I saw partnership the people of God had with principalities BROKEN!
When Heather Smashed The Altar Of Ishtar In DC- SOMETHING WAS SHAKEN UP IN THE SPIRIT REALM.

I saw partnerships with Ishtar’s perversion- BROKEN!

I saw partnerships with Fear- BROKEN!

I saw partnerships with Mammon- BROKEN!

I heard someone say- “I CANT DO IT! I'VE ALREADY TRIED AND TRIED!

This year the Holy Spirit HELPS YOU! Helps you do what you haven’t be able to do, what you can’t do… But the Helper is HERE!!
Shame and Glory

This is a year of deliverance! The deliverance of SHAME!

I heard the voice of Jesus say over you, “I’m praying for you!”

I saw the Lord personally breaking off hardened pieces of shame off you, off your family, off your legacy!

He’s trading SHAME for GLORY!

It’s a year of My glory!

You will find yourself continually in My glory!

MC Worship: You will write songs of MY GLORY!

I saw angels crashing our worship parties!

I asked to meet Gabriel last year and this year WE WILL BEGIN TO HAVE ANGELIC VISITATIONS!

This will be a Hebrews 13:2 year.
“I’m answering prayers. The prayers of my FRIENDS!”

This year YOU WILL hear God more clearly than you ever have in your life!

Its easy to hear God in His presence!

A secret to His beautiful glory…

God loves to be loved…
When you love on Him, He will love on you back.
Prayer of Radical Love

Father, I really do love You. I call You Holy, You call me Beloved! Thank You for loving me. Today I love on You. Would You love on me? Your love is perfect. I want to love like You! Help me love my neighbor and my enemy. Teach me how to war in love. I pray the love of God casts out all fear. Shame, go! Glory of God come fill me.
