Mat 24:12-13, Deut 10:12, Rom 5:5
• One of the major things the Holy Spirit does is to fill a believer with the love for God.
• When you are filled with the love for God, He shows you the will of God.
• When what you do everyday is governed by the will of God, you can say you have a relationship with God.
• Waking up everyday and doing whatever you like is not Christianity.
• Christianity is not belonging to a church.
• The church is like a service station where we are fuelled to go and live for Him.
Rev 1:6

Mat 3:11
• In the modern-day priesthood, we don’t have to physically put wood and light up a fire and make burnt sacrifices because we have become the tabernacles of God (God dwells inside us).

• If your heart is burning for God, you will be surrounded by His manifest presence.
• When the fire of your heart stops burning, God has gone out of your life.
• If you are on fire for God, you are passionate about the things of God.
• The fire in your heart is the love of God actively at work in a human vessel.

• Use love to examine whether you are still in the faith.
• Everything in God’s kingdom is powered by love.
• 1 Cor 13:3, Rom 13:10
