is the cause of all lack because when you stop sowing, you stop
harvesting.

fails, but the center of God’s system is love and love will never fail

4. God
is love – He is the agape love of God that has no limits and no conditions,
that is exceedingly patient, full of mercy and grace, He is not human love, He
is agape love – and to release God out of you, you have to release agape out of
you
a. If you stop loving with the agape-kind of love, God
has no way into the Earth
i. Where
there is no release of agape, there is no release of God
B. Love
is God’s open door into the Earth and when you close the door on agape, you
close the door on God

work here on the Earth (1 Cor 6:13 Rom 6:12-13,12:1)

1. The
return is wrapped up in the release; your harvest is wrapped up in your seed
a. It
becomes very dangerous to love with the human kind of love and never release
agape because you are setting yourself up for no return/manifestation/harvest
of agape
C. Your
power to get wealth is wrapped up in your ability to sow wealth; if you can’t
sow it, you can’t harvest it (Deut 8:18)

to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2)

going to empower you so that you can empower others and when you’re empowering
others it will come back to you

6:7-8, Lk 6:38)
a. Only
what you release can come back to you
i. To
harvest agape, you’re going to have to sow agape
ii. Are
you’re going to let that person keep you from your
harvest
D. What’s
the harvest on the seed of agape?In a
nutshell it’s days of Heaven on the Earth
1. 1
John 4:8,16 – God is Love – Manifestations of God
2. John
1:1 – God is the Word – Manifestations of the Word
3. John
1:1-5, 1 John 1:5) – God is Light/Life – Manifestations of power that removes
all evil
4. 1
Peter 3:8-12 (AMP) I don’t care what he situation is your response is always
agape
a. Why
have I been called or commanded to do it? – So that you can inherit a blessing
– An empowerment called zoe, so that you don’t have to live in hell on the
Earth
b. Turn
away from evil and pursue peace
i. If
you don’t want to harvest evil, you better not sow it
E. This
is why Jesus never lacked one day on the Earth (John 6)
1. He
lived in the curse-filled Earth, but never once harvested the curse in his life
because he only sowed the seed of agape
IV. We’ve kept that unconditional God-kind of love
imprisoned in our hearts, by loving with this human conditional kind of love
and consequently we are rarely harvesting agape
A. We
cannot continue to keep the love of God bound in our hearts and expect to see manifestations
of Him our lives
1. Only
the seed of Agape will harvest manifestations of God
B. When
we love with the God-kind of love and release agape from our hearts we give God
the opportunity to work in us and through us to change our lives and the lives
of people around us.
1. That’s
why we are commanded to love people with the God kind of love because it keeps
us a an available vessel through which God can flow through to meet the needs of
humanity and we just live off of the harvest
C. There’s
been a famine of Agape so be an agape sower
