Sermon for today by Joel osteen: FOLLOW LOVE, BE GUIDED BY LOVE.

Topic: FOLLOW LOVE, BE GUIDED BY LOVE.

God is love, and he who feels love feels God.

The scripture in 2 John 6 states to “continue to walk in love [guided by it and following it]” (AMP).
Do you want to follow God? Then follow love. Do you want to be guided by the Holy Spirit? Then be guided by love.

Wherever that streamof love flows out, follow it. Many times over the years I have had it streamout of me toward others, both those near and those far away.

I have picked up the phone and called them. If I had been completely honest with them, I would have said, “Friend, there is a stream of love flowing out of me toward you.”

But usually I don’t tell them this. I just minister to themon the thing that is on my
heart, and I do it in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

God mends hearts. He encourages lives. He works miracles by His love.
Follow love! Be guided by love!

If you wonder, Where is God? Where is He leading me?

To whom does He want me to minister? How will I know?

Wherever that stream of love flows out,
FOLLOW IT.

God is love. Follow love. Be guided by love.

I once heard Oral Roberts tell of the time when he was called to the hospital to minister to the sick baby of one of the employees who worked for him. The child was very near death and had been placed under an oxygen tent.

No visitors were  allowed; however, Roberts was permitted to go into the room.

He could not lift up the oxygen tent to lay hands on the baby and pray for him, so he just reached a finger under the corner
of the tent and touched its tiny foot.

As Roberts stood there for what seemed a long time, he felt something wash through himand into the child.

God’s love was flowing through himto the baby.

The next morning the child was well on its way to recovery!
God is love.
If you have received Jesus as your personal Savior, you have had the love of God shed abroad in your heart by the
Holy Spirit.

If you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, that love flows out far more freely.

Let me urge you never to follow hate. Never follow evil thoughts or an impulse to get even. Never return evil for evil.
Never follow that which is selfish or that which is full of greed and covetousness.

These are not of God. Follow the divine flow of love. Be guided by it every day.

I amcertain that at some time or another you have felt this divine love.

Have you ever been cooking dinner or working on the job, when suddenly you get a thought of someone with love and tenderness? Have you thought, God bless her.

I would love to see her right now and give her a big hug and encourage her.

Follow that impulse. That is God. Don’t miss the blessing. You are experiencing God. Be guided by love. Where is it? It is streaming over to that person’s house.

Get in your car and follow that streamas quickly as you can.

Minister to the person while God is still moving in your heart.This person needs God’s miracle power!
