Love: The Highest Form of God's Substance.

If you have been following me on twitter, you might have seen the hash tag #Godssubstance. If you haven’t, you can search that hash tag on twitter and follow the posts.

My point for starting the hash tag #Godssubstance is to identify the different forms of God’s substances. I have become aware that money is a form of God’s substance. But it’s the lowest or most reduced form of God’s substance. In other words, money is the result or visible form or God’s higher form of substance.

So that this blog won’t be long, I will not go into detail about all of God’s substance. Just search the hash tag #Godssubstance to get a chance to see all the different forms of God’s substance. I’ll also expound in future blogs about the other forms.

We’re so busy looking for money that we forget that money is only a measurement of value or a medium of exchange. The value is in what money is exchanged for. If that’s the case then why should I be chasing the result of value or the lowest form of God’s substance when I can create value? Sometimes it’s not money that we need but another form of God’s substance that will give us the same value that money could be exchange for.

In this blog, I will deal with the highest form of God’s substance, which is LOVE! God is love. Love is the foundation for all other forms of God’s substance. Everything and every act that God performs towards us is based on love. Why? Because GOD is LOVE!

Jesus said that He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. That means that we should be living life to the fullest in every area. Jesus was the word of God made flesh. Based on that we can easily say that Jesus was love in the flesh. So Love came that we might have the right and ability to live life to the fullest in every area.

Let me tell you a quick testimony of how love is the highest form of God’s substance. On March 13, 2011, my wife, my son, and I were leaving Baton Rouge on I-10 headed east. We were behind an 18-wheeler and I moved over into the passing lane. I was going about 70 mph and the 18-wheeler was going about 65 mph. (The next series of events happened within 5 seconds.) As soon as I got into the passing lane, I heard a loud voice saying, “ HIT THE GAS.” Immediately I hit the gas! My wife was reading and kind of looked at me funny. (I guess she was wondering why I hit the gas so fast and so hard.) At the same time I’ll turned my head to look at my rear view mirror. In that process, I noticed a truck, on I-10 headed west, swerved into his right lane and them made a 90-degree left turn crossing the median headed towards us. I hollered, “Oh Lord” and the truck just missed us and hit the car that drove up behind the 18-wheeler. And my wife and I heard a loud boom. That was the same 18-wheeler that we were just behind! That truck was so close to hitting us that, as it passed, I felt the wind from that truck shake the tail end of my SUV!

Of course by now I’m nervous and my heart is racing. My wife asked me why I hollered and I asked her did she see that truck almost hit us. Her reply was all she saw was lights. I told her that what I heard did, and saw. She said she didn’t hear anything. We both came to the conclusion that what I heard was the voice of God. I also believed our angels pushed my truck in addition to me hitting the gas.

I turned around at the next exit to go help if I could and what I pulled upon made me become even more nervous. The car that the truck hit exploded on contact killing 5 people including a little child. (My son was sleeping on the back seat.) I immediately begin to pray for the people and their families that were involved.

As I got home, still amazed at the voice of God and profusely thanking HIM, I began to think that God loves me so much that He would shout instructions to get my attention to preserve my family’s life and send Angels to push my truck. In preserving my family’s life, we avoided all sorts of destruction. He preserved my two daughters’ futures, eliminated potential medical bills, and every other damage possible.

If God can loves me enough to give me instructions to preserve my life, then why would God withhold love that teaches me to control something unimportant and plentiful as money. What’s more important, life or money? The answer is self-explanatory! So If God can use the highest form of His substance (LOVE) to give me instructions to preserve my life and my family’s life (the most important gift God has ever given), which is infinitely more important then money, then God can use the highest form of His substance (LOVE) to give me instruction to control the lowest form of God’s substance (Isaiah 48:17)!

Until All the Families of the Earth are Blessed,
