[@la28575]

I have to listen to this again. This is for me.

[@jeffgrace7266]

I have listened to this message 3 times and have gotten something new each time that built upon the last time I heard it'.. You're coming in loud and clear all the way in South Korea April 2023! Thanks to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ whom has blessed Tony Evans to share this message in a way that's understandable And able to be applied in our lives.

[@penny544]

Dr Evans, I so needed this today, biblical love is a decision and sometimes may or may not include emotion. It's hard to love some people who are destroying family, or constantly hurt you, it's so hard. I'm sure praying about it. I want to be fully who the lord wants me to be.🙏

[@WalkingInDivinePurpose]

Amen! 'Love Is Found in Deeds' What a message to take to work this morning! Glory to God hallelujah. God bless you, Pastor Dr. Evans.

[@terrymoore5000]

THANKYOU JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR KING JESUS FOR THY LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING! 😔❤

[@songofsolomon03]

I rise every morning of each and every day where "joy" is a choice. No matter the circumstances of what all is going on in my life, I will choose joy over gloominess and sadness. The same goes for "love". As the formal definition of biblical kind of (Jesus) "love" is defined as the [decision] to 'compassionately', 'righteousely',, 'responsibly', and 'sacrificially' seek the well-being of another , or meet the need of someone else. ❤❤ So love is a choice. I choose to love my neighbor. I choose to love those who curse me and mean me harm, those who have hurt me. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8❤ .

[@maryselahwilliams]

Thank you Heavenly Father for leading me to hear this message from my brother Tony.

[@BlackPearlMinistries]

Oooh. I do love chocolate cake. 😂😂❤❤

[@chisangaprosper3666]

Love is defined by the decisions we make🙇🏾‍♂️. God sees the love we show to others and he judges us by it📝

[@StephanieSerticArt]

Thank you Dr Tony Evans for the wonderful word of God. Thank you for this teaching as it’s probably one of the most important things we need to know. Loving one another fills us with life & hope and it ultimately fulfils who God truly made us to be!- and it brings people together!

[@kevingipson5356]

I needed to hear this and what a timely God we serve! Thank you Lord for leading me here & Brother Evans as your vessel ❤️

[@cuprunnethover2509]

OOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh! WOW!!! I like this! I didn't know! This is good! This is great! I like that! It's a decision to love the person or persons who keeps messing with my phone causing me not to be able to write, causing what I write to disappear!

[@THE_MR_MAN]

i love it

[@SanctifiedLady]

Thank you for this message, it’s just what I was explaining that I will get married for a need…God said for man not to be alone…I will fill that need for God. I explained love come and go but if I get married it will be a decision not based in emotions. I’m asking for prayers, I rent rooms in my home to ppl needing housing…there’s a need…this house is not mine, it belongs to the lord…so pray that I get a nice tenant. I’ve have 1 great one before…several questionable but I’m just answering calls and being a vessel when I can. ✝️💜🤷🏽‍♀️

[@joyceervin840]

God bless you and keep you .

[@shagunheard]

Though he slay me,,, yet I shall trust him. I've lost everything that once defined my life. I'm barely surviving,yet I'm still pressing towards the high call of God in my life. For I know that this life is just a vapor,,,and I refuse to return to the vomit. I'm learning The Great I Am,,,and I boldly say the race isn't given to the swift nor strong but to the one who endure to the end. It's easy to give up on God when you don't understand. But I ask the Almighty ELOHIM to increase my faith,trust,and dependency on him. Only a fool says in his heart there is no God. In Yehwah,and the Holy Paraklete I pray,,, Glory be to to the Almighty I Am,,,,Amen.

[@clemkidadittlehopper8966]

Believe in Jesus Christ and love one another

[@celebratelifetodaywithcele8428]

[@Savvy_allthingsChrist]

This is good teaching hit 🎯

[@matt_kaboom]

Thank you for a great message, Pastor Evans!

[@deborahjevans7829]

Love this teaching! Thank You Heavenly Father for Your Word and Dr. Evans teaching it so plainly and wonderfully!

[@linw8483]

Than you, Dr. Evans, this gives me the wherewithal to dive in again exercising compassion. I allow receivers to push my intention to be helpful, back because of ingratitude and often jealousy. But I do not have the full appreciation that I must develop toward Jesus for His sacrifices nor toward the Father and Holy Ghost for their moment by moment intercession and protection of me. So, my struggle must be overcome and I must place myself back on the road to focusing off me and onto Him. TY!🙏🏼💕

[@PrettyLove-qv8nd]

The bible say love your neighbors. I do love my neighbors ! But some I don't trust and some I have to stay away from and some I have to just say hi to and some I just smile to. There are very few neighbors you can love oh I love everybody thought.😊

[@carenm8299]

This is such a powerfully profound teaching!!! Thank you uncle Tony (that's what I affectionately call you) for keeping it real and making it simple. Every Christian should listen to this and ensure not to be hearer but a doer. May God continue to pur into you as you pour into us! Lord give us a heart like yours, to love people no matter what they do to us. To decide to compassionately, righteously, responsively and sacrificially seek the best for others/meet their needs.

[@yy_kaxzu_yy3416]

Amen

[@jewishbride5010]

Praise God for healthy relationships! I therefore bind to hell one thinking to need to lean and attach unto anyone too much in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone leaning and attaching too much to another, in accordance with this word and 1 john 4:18, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!

[@lornasinclair]

Thank you Dr Evans for the word today love ❤is a beautiful tonic

[@ronaldross6950]

I have to say wow. that to me was very truthful. The reason I know this is because that is what JESUS kept telling his disciples. Love one another. HE also prayed that we also learned to love as HE and his FATHER love each other. That is in the book of John. Now, if that doesn't tell you how important love is to GOD. and JESUS. Then why are you here? I remember that LOVE is the greatest thing of all. So, when you love, you are being like What GOD wants you to be.

It is possible to show love for all humans. Having said that, except to pray, it is foolishness to love servants, shareholders of the Devil and Its disciples.

Some people make it so hard to love them for example my older brother I show love by avoiding him as much as possible because he would make you consider murder because of how he treats you

[@hervoice3501]

No one can "make" you consider murder. That's a choice you make to consider such. God bless you.

[@TheReddKnight]

@@hervoice3501 your wrong a person can mistreat you so bad that killing them might become an option out of pure frustration yes they can't make you do it but doesn't mean the thought is never entertained

[@hervoice3501]

If I'm wrong then so are you because you just agreed with me 😊

[@TheReddKnight]

@@hervoice3501 you said a person can't make you consider murder but I said a person can't make you do it 2 different things

[@ishmaelthang4865]

what bible verse did he use?

[@fernandogallardo3458]

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in tongue. { 1 John 3:18 } JOHN IS SAYING, ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS! If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace; be warmed and filled, notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body; what do it profit? Even so faith, If it has no works, is dead, being alone. { James chapter 2 } JAMES IS SAYING, FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD! The sheep are going to inherit the kingdom of God, because they loved the brethren with action. { Matthew 25:31-40 } The goats are going into the lake of fire, because they did not love the brethren with action. { Matthew 25:41-46 } The commandments of LOVE: LOVE GOD LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR LOVE ONE ANOTHER LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

[@thomasboston1887]

EY Pastor how about if the person you decided to love doin you dirty and being as Evil as evil gets when if comes to the relational dynamics of worldly lust and Christian Love

[@AnthonyDuah-gr5gk]

Trying not to like this preacha man for third time I'm O for 3 Third time I knew I knew he got lucky twice nope 3rd time I'm impressed , but I'm looking for some reason to run from the things you say I should not only own up to but I should be greatful for the feeling of wanting to run yno what? Ok 3 . Three in a row ? What I am I'm signing up

[@PrettyLove-qv8nd]

Jesus loved the world and he taught people about love . The problem is I know Jesus loves me but I'm not to sure about everyone else's love especially when they are creating evil. The bible says love is kind and Patience it's not puff up etc. Pastors don't teach love in church anymore because there so much pain. Deeds are wonderful and it's good to show good deeds but when someone says they love you and showing bad deeds how can they say they love you.
