LOVE 2
It's All About His Love    continued....

Along with feeling this tremendous love, satan showed up to do battle with me so that I would not be able to reach this man whom I now loved.  Satan put hate in this persons heart towards me and would not let this person speak to me at all.  Even my presence terrified  Johnny because of the spirit of fear satan put in him.  This fear in Johnny caused him to hurt me.  I lost all my friends, my reputation, my job and my ability to find a good position, and I was alienated from the one I loved the most here on earth, Johnny.  I forgave him for each wrong done to me.
Satan wanted to kill Johnny.  Every protective nerve in my body was raw and desperate to shield Johnny from the attacks of the devil and bring him safely to Jesus.  Satan deceived me about Johnny's problems more than once and pretended to talk to me like Jesus does.  In my pain, I listened to him.  I gave Johnny misinformation because of this and each step Johnny took away from the truth was a knife in my heart.  I spent months praying and fasting and I placed myself between Johnny and satan's attacks against him.  Several times, the pain and concern for Johnny's safety almost drove me out of my mind.  Each battle harvested more love for Johnny AND more pain for me because of the impossible breech the devil placed between us.  All hope seemed lost.  My love for Johnny's precious spirit grew!  I now could see his spirit man like Jesus saw him (perfect in every way).  But Johnny was acting like the devil towards me still.  The scripture "love endures all things" now had a new meaning to me.
I asked Jesus over and over "WHY???"  In order to focus, I had to keep going back to the original purpose that Jesus gave me this assignment.  That purpose was to be able to 'feel' Jesus's love and forgiveness for this man, and at the same time, win the battle for Johnny's soul and life by practicing love and forgiveness for this man so that he could see first hand how much Jesus loved and forgave him.
What I felt for Johnny was just what Jesus feels for each one of us.  A human being cannot survive loving billions of people with this intensity of feelings and pain.  And, Jesus tells me that He shielded me from alot of the pain in all this.  Imagine!!!  I only felt a part of Jesus's love for one human being and my physical body could not withstand it.  There are not words made by man to accurately describe how much Jesus loves each of us individually.
When Jesus took our sins on His body, He felt this love for each person who will ever live and He loved us to His death because He occupied a human body.
I am writing this to the broken hearted, the lost, the forgotten ones, the sick, the lonely, the captives, the ones in pain (and to Johnny if he will listen)!  Jesus loves you and feels every pain, sees every tear, cares about you individually -- even to have died to protect you from yourself!  He gave you promises in His word to protect you and help you live in victory!
