Destiny West Campus Messages with Ps./Rabbi Brian Bileci

“Eternal God of Israel, You are unparalleled among the gods of heaven and earth. You honor Your covenants with Your servants and give LIMITLESS LOYAL LOVE to those who faithfully follow You. - 2 Chronicles 6:14 (VOICE)

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 AT THAT TIME many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the LOVE of most will GROW COLD, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the END will come. - Matthew 24:3-14 (NIV)

HOW TO KEEP YOUR LOVE FROM FAILING IN THE LAST DAYS:1. DON’T LET YOUR LOVE GROW COLD
6 For this is why the good news [of salvation] was preached…7 The END and culmination of all things is near. Therefore, be SOUND-MINDED and SELF-CONTROLLED for the PURPOSE OF PRAYER [STAYING BALANCED and FOCUSED on the things of God so that your communication will be CLEAR, REASONABLE, specific and pleasing to Him.] 8 Above all, have FERVENT and UNFAILING LOVE for one another, because LOVE covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others] - 1 Peter 4:6a,7-8 (AMP)

For God has not given us a spirit of FEAR, but of POWER and of LOVE and of a SOUND MIND. - 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

• When our LOVE for God grows COLD we lose SOUNDNESS of mind and allow FEAR to take control

• When our LOVE for God grows COLD our soul (self) becomes out of CONTROL with erratic emotions

• When our LOVE for God grows COLD we stop PRAYING to Him and lose our sense of divine PURPOSE
• When our LOVE for God grows COLD we become UNBALANCED and lose FOCUS on what’s important
• When our LOVE for God grows COLD we become UNCLEAR and UNREASONABLE in daily decisions

2. COME BACK TO YOUR FIRST LOVE

1 “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your FIRST LOVE. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. - Revelation 2:1-5 (NKJV)

2 GO and PROCLAIM to the people of Jerusalem, The Lord proclaims: I remember your FIRST LOVE, your devotion as a young bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in an unplanted land. 3 Israel was DEVOTED to the Lord… - Jeremiah 2:2-4 (CEB)
