~My love for my Children is sacred~
Passion comes from the Latin word Passio from Patior; It is the impression or effect of an external agent upon a body: that which is suffered or received.
This week God brought to me four types of Biblical love. The most familiar one is (Agape)which is God’s, perfect unconditional love. The other three are Storge which means Familiar Love that is often seen between family members. Philia is the next one which is Brotherly, and Sisterly Love which the body of Christ needs, especially because we need each other to function wholeheartedly. But the one that the Lord spoke softly to me as I made a cup of tea was Eros. Love hurts, true Biblical “Eros” will come with its challenges.
Eros – Sensual or Romantic Love
We serve a God who requires a level of intimacy with us. Men are wired differently; I hear the Lord speak. And just like a woman they desire to be seen and heard but more importantly, loved. We must pay attention to the males in our lives and protect their hearts. Deuteronomy 32:30 How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the Lord had given them up? As I was reading that verse God showed that brotherly and sisterly union in his kingdom is required to take the next step. We need to stop seeing each other as opponents but as members of the same team. Does this mean that we are equals as far as strength? No, biologically men are the stronger vessel; but when a woman of God comes along with the capability to not only support but carry the very thing that he has entrusted her with ladies and gents I tell you no lie when I say not even Satan himself can put out the blaze that is ignited when they decide to do ministry together tearing down strongholds to see that which was spoken in Matthew 6:10 His Kingdom come and his will be done while Protecting each other’s hearts as if it were their very own. As women of God, we are called to come alongside the men and help advance God’s kingdom supporting our men in prayer and speaking life and that more abundantly over them while they serve God faithfully on the battlefield.
I designed men to do what I do but in the Physical. To protect, provide and lead their household to live a life of righteousness and order is what I hear the Lord speak. But an evil has reared its head causing some to think and act differently stepping away from the pulpit/ the head of their household.
Philia: Platonic love with a sense of devotion is what my kingdom is missing. I am coming to show my children that male and female friendships can exist. I am coming to change the narrative that everything between males and females has to be romanticized is what I hear my heavenly Father speak. A shift is taking place, I am drawing a line in the sand; no longer will people wonder what my standard is because I am raising a generation that is not afraid to demonstrate it the way it can be found in my word. I am appointing new leaders to show you that this walk is possible and that it’s okay to love and protect with boundaries for the opposite sex.
Closing Prayer
Lord, we live in a world where everything has become so oversexualized that some are so afraid to connect because of what others may think. But in these last days where true Philia friendships are necessary I am asking you to help us see that two are better than one to bind the strong man. 2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. I pray that your church will grow in its understanding of the saying Iron sharpens Iron. Teach us how to love by your standard. I thank you that you continue to guide Godly men and women who understand that in order to lead by example they must follow our great example, King Jesus. I seal this prayer with the Power of the Holy Spirit.
