Welcome, Family in Ministry, to another soul-stirring session with Dr. Que! Exploring Agape love – God's true, unwavering love. Many experience "love" that hurts, manipulates, or abandons. This message contrasts such fleeting human affection with God's steadfast, healing love that truly sustains and helps us grow. Dr. Que emphasizes that genuine love doesn't force conformity; it welcomes, accepts, protects, and nurtures you to become your best self.
We'll uncover how self-serving "lovers of self" (2 Timothy 3:2) can weaponize affection, urging discernment against "false prophets" (Matthew 7:15) who twist love for control. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, we'll explore the characteristics of true love: patient, kind, humble, selfless, forgiving, and persevering. This divine blueprint shows how love protects, trusts, hopes, and never gives up, unlike manipulative demands. If a relationship pulls you from God's best, it's not rooted in divine love. This episode is vital for anyone hurt by a distorted view of love, or seeking a deeper understanding of God's perfect design for relationships and personal growth. Prepare to be healed, encouraged, and transformed by the Power of Agape!
In this episode, you will be led through:
- Introduction, Call to Worship, Opening Prayer, Prayer for Baltimore City.
- Biblical Lesson: Understanding God's Love (Agape - 1 John 4:8, John 3:16).
- Intercession Prayer, Prayer for all Ministries.
- Invitation of Christ / Alter Call, Pentecostal Lay Hands Moment.
- Important Ministry Announcements, Closing Prayer & Benediction.
Key Themes: God's Agape love vs. human love; healing and growth through divine love; discerning manipulation; biblical principles for healthy relationships.
Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:2; Matthew 7:15; 1 John 4:8; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; 2 Corinthians 9:7.
