Do you think that loving is a stronger version of liking? This is a popular cultural notion, but it represents a mistaken understanding. Liking is about personal preference. In that regard it is a matter of taste. In the end it is about you. Love, if properly understood, is non-possessive. It is not about you. Does a baby love her mother? She is entirely dependent, but this is not love in the mature form. And so these are widely different concepts. Are there people you like and other people that you dislike? This is inevitable, but you are called to love everyone rather than like everyone.

Those who are in the military are well acquainted with the rank structure and know who is above and below them. Is there a comparable structure in place in the civilian world?  Money is a common means for keeping score, and both those who have it and those who do not are aware of where they fit in the hierarchy. Do you believe in equality? This is a desirable political goal, but it is a modern concept and has not always been accepted. Can you see that this only makes sense under the rule of a supreme being who is superior to all and regards king and peasant alike under him?

Belief is a central theme in the Bible. Do you put a great deal of effort into study to learn what to believe? Do you put as much effort into learning how to live? Which do you consider to be more important? Which did I place more emphasis on in my teachings? Consider the story of the Good Samaritan, who was commended for his kindness in spite of the errors in his beliefs. Consider the Centurion who was commended for his faith even though he was an outsider. Consider the woman at the well, who was also an outsider, who became an evangelist.

The testimony below is from Denise Archer, whom God is calling to go online using a platform called Clubhouse and set up a room to share the four keys to hearing God's voice with others. She is looking for 3-5 co-leaders to help lead this group. Her contact information is: Denise Archer - 210-867-6864 - Denisearcher4@yahoo.com. Who knows? Maybe it is another media platform that God is calling you to get online with and begin introducing people to supernatural encounters with God. Pray and see what God is saying. Here is Denise's testimony.
