God is love, and we are the objects of His greatest and deepest affections. His love for us is invincible. And when we receive God’s love, we are positioned to love others the way He loves them. But we cannot champion this love without also knowing hate—more specifically, a hate for anything that unmakes love. Watch my full Adamant Course on MessengerX: https://app.messengerx.com/en-US/watc…

we can’t earn
but we’ve never deserved and you can’t
keep it by being good now his love for
you is invincible
immovable
and constant
[Music]
okay this is going to be an unusual
lesson we’re going to cover two topics
that seem completely polar opposite and
I’m going to need you to listen to me
don’t be afraid don’t be afraid it
scared me I’m just going to tell you
first half won’t be scary second half
maybe a little bit frightening so anyway
but um I love that a diamond and an
adamant when they used to be called the
same as a symbol of love you know when
you get engaged I remember when Addison
was like you were in you know in your
prison of internship
okay whatever it was kind of fun it was
kind of an unusual and intensity and
Alice was like shopping for your diamond
and John by accident threw it away and
we’re like oh my gosh but it was just so
important to him that you get something
that is just what you wanted because he
wanted to say I love you and I love you
big and he got Julie a diamond that you
don’t even have to upgrade but um anyway
I love that love is supposed to be
radiant that it’s supposed to reflect
light that is supposed to be something
that stands a test of time but I want to
talk first about God you know God
doesn’t have love God is love it’s
actually his very nature he doesn’t love
us because he has to because Jesus died
for us he actually loves us because he
cannot not love us he loves us he
created us he loved you before you were
born you were his idea you weren’t your
parents idea you were woven in a womb of
wonder
and of love and I don’t know what your
circumstances were around your birth I
don’t know if you feel like that’s not
true it’s true and so I need you to have
a revelation that God is love and God is
not love for you he is love he is just
love that’s who he is and that’s how he
sees you he sees you through love we
talked about hovering we talked about
that tender gentle adamant intimate God
but we’re going to talk about love he’s
adamant in love his love is Invincible
let me just tell you something you
cannot stop him from loving you you
cannot stop him
his love for you is not dependent on
your behavior I’m sorry it has nothing
to do with your behavior it has
everything to do that he set his love on
you before you ever turned your face to
him God is not moved by your unlovely
behavior it’s not that he’s not aware
it’s just that he is impervious to our
awful his love is invincible and God is
our first love he will always be our
first love and the truth is that’s
because he first loved us I I love again
going back to the Exodus going back to
the Deuteronomy going back to the
imagery Exodus 15 says you have led them
in your steadfast love not in there
Israel was up and down all the time you
have led them in your steadfast love the
people and that’s you the people whom
you have redeemed you have guided them
by your strength to your holy Abode do
you see that God leads us with love to
bring us home
his holy Abode is not a church building
it is always about bringing us
to himself God delivered them so that he
could reveal his love to them in the
wilderness his love for us not dependent
on us his love for us not according to
our Behavior I need you to hear these
things he has always loved us he loves
you now and he will always love you do
you understand even if a person says I’m
sorry I don’t want anything to do with
Jesus and I want to go to hell God would
still love that person the Redemption
thing has nothing to do with his love
for you he doesn’t love you once you
become a Christian he is always loved
you we can’t earn
but we’ve never deserved and you can’t
keep it by being good now his love for
you is invincible
immovable
and constant and because of that you
should be wrapped in a covenant piece
remember it will not make haste be at
peace be at peace Juliana’s middle name
Juliana peace so she’s like oh is that
but he is The God Who seals us and it’s
interesting second Corinthians 1 21-22
this is from the ESV it says it is God
who establishes us with you in Christ
and has anointed us and who has also put
his seal on us and given us his spirit
in our heart as a guarantee I cannot
establish myself you cannot establish
yourself going to a church does not
establish you now that builds you up in
the faith being part of a community of
Believers but it doesn’t establish you
we cannot through our own Works
establish us God knew that so he did I
love how the passion translation treats
this exact same verse it says now it is
God himself who has anointed us do you
know what that means that means he’s
actually marked you for himself he has
anointed us and he has he is constantly
strengthening both you and us in Union
with Christ he knows that we are his
since he stamped his seal of love over
our hearts and has given us the Holy
Spirit like an engagement ring I love
that like an engagement ring is given to
a bribe a down payment for blessings to
come he gave you his Spirit as a down
payment for the blessings to come you
have been sealed you are born of the
spirit sealed with the spirit indwelled
by the spirit baptized in the spirit
made one in the spirit and given gifts
by the spirit do you understand that
everything that happens is by and
through the Holy Spirit I don’t know
where you are in your life but if you’re
like I’m not sure if I’m filled with the
Holy Spirit ask him yeah ask him he’ll
fill you with the holy spirit it’s not
scary it’s not weird it’s how God seals
this that’s how he interacts with it we
are commissioned into the ministry of
reconciliation it doesn’t mean a
platform Ministry of reconciliation is
how you live your life by the spirit and
everything we need was provided by God
who loves us Without End Again by his
Spirit Ephesians 1 verse 2 says I am
writing this letter to all the devoted
believers who have been made Holy by
being one with Jesus the anointed one
may God himself the heavenly father of
our Lord Jesus release Grace over you
and impart total well-being into your
lives
hear me lovely one you do not inhabit a
like temporary place you have had
cascading Grace poured over your life
but I want to tell you there is somebody
that hates you
it’s the prince of the power of the air
he has no love for you any gift that he
promises you will turn out to be a theft
any power that he says is now yours is
attached to a realm that is destined to
crumble and fail he cannot help but
pervert everything he touches and we
live in a time and an age where there is
so much confusion about what love really
is
God’s only adamant in love with us he’s
adamant that we actually love each other
the Bible is so clear that they’re going
to know we’re Christians by our love one
for another and we have not done this
well we’ve got great music we’ve got
beautiful buildings we’ve got smoke
machines we got the best lights but we
are still not loving one another well
and if you say I’m not sure if that’s
right just go to social media just go to
social media we are not loving one
another well but people who love well
Live Well I had uh I’ve already
mentioned to you a very
strained relationship with my mom and
that right before she died I I really
had a revelation that I had been in a
better place to love her than she had
been to love me and you know it’s so
funny she’s been gone now she’s in
heaven for over two years I don’t even
remember what we thought about
but I do regret all the kind words I
didn’t say you will never regret
kindness you will never regret loving
someone but you will regret a lost
opportunity now I have eternity to
soften that blow but I’m just going to
make sure that you hear me
you gotta own your mistakes because when
you own your mistakes they no longer own
you and so I had to take responsibility
I couldn’t just keep saying well she
didn’t do this and she didn’t do this I
said I could have done that I could have
done that God is adamant that we love
one another that means we love people
that are different than us that means we
love people that look different than us
think different than us people that we
disagree with we still have to love them
do you know a lot of people that you see
right now as enemies are religious
people desperate to be loved and we need
to move beyond all of the division and
all of the confusion and all of the
divisive spirit that the prince of the
power of the air the accuser of Brethren
hello if you’re attacking people you’re
being used by Satan seriously we need to
move beyond all that and begin to love
well see we need to love fearlessly
because love has no fear we need to love
selflessly because love is not selfish
we need to love free of offense because
love keeps no record of wrongs we need
to love triumphly why because love
cannot fail and we need to love
endlessly because love is eternal and so
we have to be people who receive the
love of God and then give the love of
God but I want to talk to you about this
scary part of the message
this God who is adamant in love is also
adamant hate I know you’re like wait
wait how can how can God who is love hey
yeah that was my reaction I was just
finishing up the chapters in adamant
about adamant and love and adamant that
we love when I heard the Holy Spirit
close my closed my laptop I heard the
Holy Spirit say and yet I’m Adam and hey
and I was like wait no no no no no and
then I remembered Proverbs 6 6 where God
says six things do I hate and seven is
an Abomination I was like okay so what
did I do I just copied pasted started a
new document adamant and hate and was
like I’ll just I’ll just look at that
tomorrow got home we were actually all
vacationing in Florida there’s like 11
people in a house so that’s why I had to
ride my bike somewhere else to ride and
um and I had a text message again from
my sweet Rabbi Ryan this is your all of
this is you anyway and and he said what
he said the holy spirit said that you’re
writing why didn’t tell him I was
writing I was supposed to be on vacation
with my family he said the Holy Spirit
told me that you’re writing and he said
whatever you have landed on today you
need to pursue that he said it is the
reason why an entire generation has been
immunized against truth so I wrote him
back I was like Adam and hate I said
question mark and he wrote me back all
these different like Hebrew words that I
don’t know how to pronounce or spell
anyways and I was like okay so so the
next day you know I just kind of put it
aside I remember I shared it with Julia
I was like what we read the text and
then I like went on with my day and then
the next day I went back to this little
carriage house above somebody’s garage
where I was writing and I was like God I
I need you to talk to me I mean it’s one
thing to have Rabbi Brian tags that’s
awesome but I need you to talk to me I
need you to talk to me how can you
hate how can you who are love hate and
this is as fast as I could put pen to
paper he began to unpack to me he said
Lisa I hate what un makes love
he said I hate what unmakes those I love
he said I hate what undermines my image
and distorts yours and so I was like
okay so in short Our Father hates what
corrupts love
God loves people so we’re going to make
that really clear people are not what
God hates God loves people God loves the
broken God loves the bound God loves The
Sinner God is love and love never hates
people because people are what God loves
God loves everyone
but God does not love every thing do you
hear me God loves everyone but he does
not love everything and we talked about
the Genesis we talked about this
beautiful creation but how many of you
know we do not walk the earth where
everything is good anymore we walk the
earth in a season where everything is
crying out for a revelation of the Sons
and Daughters of God and the restoration
of Truth and Justice so I’m going to ask
you a question because I really believe
that our culture has idolized love and
in the process called love a lot of
things that aren’t love
so we have actually said God is love
but we’ve actually kind of lived love is
God
see God is love but love is not God and
you can’t worship love outside of the
character and the parameters of God
Romans 8 39 says it says that you know
nothing nothing can separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus see all of
this happens in the Cornerstone in the
adamant in Christ Jesus nothing is
impervious nothing can separate you but
danger arises when we separate love from
the parameters of a God who is love
first John 4 8 God is love and then we
hear in Hebrews 12 29 God is a consuming
fire so he is love and he is a consuming
fire and then the book of Acts 17 28 it
says in him we live and move and have
our being and when you put those three
together
it is not impossible to put the
connection of we live in a consuming
fire of God’s love
love is always going to go after what
unmates us God is always going to go
after in his love for us what undermines
our relationship with him and so we have
to understand just as we have maybe not
understood the definition of love maybe
we haven’t understood the definition of
hate you know when I was writing this
all I could think of was the race hate
crimes and you know the horrible things
happening to women and I like whenever I
hear the word hate I hear a crime I hear
hate I hear crime but let’s separate the
word hate from our experiences with it
and let’s actually just look at the
definition of the word hate again going
through the scriptures I’m going to
unpack what God hates he hates
everything that undermines Justice and
Truth when widows orphans and aliens are
oppressed God hates that the abuse of
the elderly and the neglect of family
God hates it he hates what perverts his
goodness and taints his gifts he hates
it when love is Twisted into selfishness
and Friends become enemies
he hates what changes his image and
distorts ours because when the image of
God changes it can’t help but distort
our image of him and our image of
ourself he hates it when evil is called
good and the innocent are killed and
arrogance and pride the greatest God
hates all that undermines love for
everything that undermines love debases
us
you were made for love yes you are made
for God so I was shocked when I was
going through my scriptures and I began
to look at my different logo software I
found over 3
000 words that gave scriptural context
for the things that God hated and I it
was just ridiculous amount my editor was
like we’re going to put it in the back
of the book so it’s like in the back of
this book and we’re not going to
reference all this but when I began to
look at this I realized that everything
God hates is about protecting what he
loves and why should I have been
surprised by that you know as parents as
parents we we would hate what would
cause our children to be at risk and so
we need to understand God is a perfect
parent so I want to talk to you about
something first of all I’m going to talk
about something I hate personally I hate
snakes I hate I hate snakes and when I
was even writing the book I have a
machete I know this is really because I
have a machete on top of the hutch just
in case there’s a snake in the basement
I’m like there’s something about having
my death under like in the dark with my
legs underneath if there’s a snake I’m
gonna have to kill it I’m gonna have to
kill it and I have to have a machete
because that’s just I’m gonna have one
strike or if it moves I’ll freak out I
hate I hate snakes if there was a snake
in the house and I had other people
around I’d get them to kill it but if
there’s no one in the house right I’m
gonna have to take it out I’m gonna have
to take it out there’s a lot of people
that are saying oh I hate Injustice oh I
hate sex trafficking really do you hate
pornography The Way You Hate sex
trafficking
because I talk to a lot of people that
think it’s okay to be entertained by
something that’s actually the catalyst
of sex trafficking so we have to
understand what Charles Spurgeon meant
when he said you cannot love what God
loves people
if you do not hate what God hates the
things that put them in bondage so I’m
gonna ask you to be able to understand
the separation of this we’re going to
close with this scripture so you don’t
think I’m just making all this up but I
have you’ve got in the book this whole
list of what God hates but Romans 12 9
says let love let love be genuine abhor
what is evil hold fast to what is good
we cannot even have genuine love
if we love everything that’s ingenuous
you can’t love everything you can’t do
that
you have to love what God loves and you
have to hate what God hates so I’m going
to go through these super quick God
hates Pride why does he hate Pride
because pride is the only thing that
sets us in opposition to him Pride
becomes a barrier between us and God God
hates lying why because it’s practice of
Satan Satan is the father of lies and
God is true so he hates lying because
again it undermines it God hates
innocent Bloodshed and in the book I
talk about what that looks like but it
is somebody who actually is going after
somebody that cannot protect themselves
hearts that devise Wicked plans why does
he hate that because God has a plan for
your life it’s planned for good and not
harm and when you plan bad for somebody
else you’re going against God’s will he
hates feet that run quick to evil that’s
people that are actually like really
proud and gloating about what they got
away with he hates divorce I’m going to
tell you something God doesn’t hate
people that get divorced but do you know
God said he hates divorce because it
overwhelms a woman with cruelty and God
is a faithful husband and so he didn’t
want his daughter’s overwhelmed with
cruelty and rejection God hates it when
we’re false Witnesses what does that
mean it means to lie under oath because
when you take an oath you’re not just
lying to people you’re lying to God God
hates Discord sown among the Brethren he
hates sexual immorality impurity
idolatry he hates greed let’s talk about
this he hates greed oh we all jump on
the sexual immorality things but God
hates idolatry and greed and stripe he
hates double standards of hypocrisy and
criticism when we hold other people at
this standard and then we have a lower
standard of our own and I’m just gonna
close out with this and when I was
looking at these standards of hypocrisy
I realized that I actually had hypocrisy
in my own life because sometimes I would
rather tell people what they wanted to
hear
than to be part of their rescue
it is not loving to lie to people and
call things that are evil good it is not
loving to say that all things are
approved by God we need to be people who
rightly discern the word of God we
cannot be divisive women but we have to
be women who rightly divide the word of
God and hating evil is not permission to
hate people we’re Christians we’re not
terrorists we are not people who are
going to be mean-spirited we are
anointed to overcome evil with good
there is so much in this but I’m just
going to tell you rather than hate
what’s out there I’m going to challenge
you as my sister to hate what’s in here
hate hypocrisy hate the the false hate
the slander hey hey whatever it is don’t
don’t flirt with it don’t wink at it
don’t watch pornography I know that it’s
hard to almost Escape it nowadays but
don’t intentionally watch these things
that debase people made in the image of
God so we have to be people who say
we’re going to actually make this shift
Charles Spurgeon I love this he said he
said we are bound to love our enemies we
love our enemies that’s people but we
are not bound to Beloved the enemies of
God
so I’m going to believe that the holy
spirit is going to give you wisdom and
discernment and Direction so that you
can love what God loves and hate what he
hates so that your love will be genuine
in Jesus name
