Summary:

As we are being enveloped in His love, we are finding that there is a relationship to the Father beyond the cross. He is not relating to us as He did in days gone by. He is relating to us in a new way and it therefore requires us to relate to Him in a new way.

Show Notes:

• God is enveloping us in His Love.
• There is a life with God beyond the cross.
• We are changing not by the dealings of God or the cross of Christ in our life, but by the Father's love.
• Is it easier for us to believe in the cross of Christ than in His love that He is beaming toward us?
• Because of being nailed to the cross, we can now move into the Father's love. By standing in His presence by exposing ourselves to His love we are changed.
• We are being surrounded by so great cloud of witnesses. We are being surrounded by the love of the Father and the saints of God here and there.

Quotes:

• We change. I mean, we're transformed, we're changing in His love. We're being enveloped in his love, we're changing daily.

• There's a scripture that says, for those who are looking for Him, He will appear again, without a focus on sin, meaning that there's a relationship with Him beyond the cross.

• His love is the refining fire. His love, gets out all of the imperfections, all of the dross, so that we become the pure gold, that pure thing before Him.
• We can move deep enough into God's love. The cross can be imparted thoroughly, and completely. The people and His work would be done - that it does not have to be a process that it has been with us through the years.
• I believe so much in providing an atmosphere and this exposure to the Father. That's how people are changed.
• But I honestly believe the thoroughness of the cross can be imparted. It can be imparted to people, and they can die and be resurrected right then. It doesn't have to be the process that we've known it to be.

Take Away:

As we move into His love in a deeper way, we are finding that the Father begins to relate to us differently. Now it is not the dealings and the cross of Christ so much that is the emphasis for change in our lives, but His deep love is what changes and controls us. As we are transformed by His love we are then able to impart this deep transformational love to others.
