\u201c\u2018Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind\u2019; and, \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself\u2019\u201d(Luke 10:27 NIV).<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments\u201d (1 John 5:1-2 NKJV).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The task to love God and our fellow human beings may sound easy but it can be sometimes intensive. It can be tough to truly love the hostile people. Also, it can be challenging to love God wholeheartedly during a difficult situation. However, despite the challenges, believers still have the privilege of depending on empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fully meet the standard of God – \u201cLove God and love your neighbors.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n To overcome the challenge of struggling to fully love God and truly love our neighbors, we must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n Holy Spirit can help us overcome our limitations and adequately meet the standard of God. To achieve this, we must express our dependence on God. That is, we must pray and express our frustrations and fears to God. We must tell him how we feel, and how powerless we are in a situation. More importantly, we must ask God to send his Holy Spirit to possess us, empower us, and guide us to behave appropriately according to his commandments.<\/p>\n A believer who operates in the realm of the Holy Spirit through prayers and Bible study will receive God\u2019s empowerment to prosper. The person will regain the strength to behave in a manner that glorifies God.<\/p>\n No doubt that Satan will tempt a Christian to act in the flesh and be less loving in a hostile environment, but the fellow can depend on the power of the Holy Spirit to adequately meet the standard of God.<\/p>\n Holy Spirit gives us the power to fully love God and our neighbors. The Bible states, \u201cWith man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).<\/em><\/p>\n Every Christian needs the supernatural power of God (Holy Spirit) to overcome his or her limitations. The divine Spirit of God will energize us to live above sin if we can allow him to lead us! He (Holy Spirit) will empower us to love God as well as loving our fellow human beings – Even under a poisoned atmosphere!<\/em> The more we rely on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, the more our strength will increase to fully conform to the standard of God.<\/a><\/p>\n Submit yourself to God. Read his word (The Bible); pray, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to fully conform to his standard.<\/p>\n Christians must rely on Holy Spirit in all situations. The more we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit, the more our strength will increase to fully conform to the standard of God. <\/i> <\/span> Tim Soulo<\/span> <\/i>Click to tweet <\/span> <\/span> <\/p> <\/div> <\/a> <\/div><\/em><\/p>\n Dear God, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit to exercise genuine love for you and other people.
