Love is as Strong as Death
Song of Solomon 8:6 says, “Love is as strong as death,” because love took Christ to His death.
That same love empowers us in the face of the greatest opposition, just as those who faced the wrath of the accuser, “did not love their lives to the death,” (Revelation 12:11).
Song of Solomon 8:6 also says this love is like “flames of fire, a most vehement flame.”
The fire of God’s Love is so empowering that no trial in life can extinguish it. This is what the next verse means when it says, “Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it,” (8:7).
Waters in the Bible often symbolize problems and difficulties that seek to overwhelm and drown us. This verse is saying, “There is no opposition great enough to quench this love for Jesus that burns in the hearts of God’s saints.”
You may be in the middle of overwhelming circumstances, and some may continue to experience deep floods of adversity and crisis. But even after Satan levels his greatest attacks, God’s people come through with a deeper, more fiery love than ever.
Revelation 12 depicts Satan (the dragon) in his last days’ rage, spewing a flood from his mouth in order to try to drown the church, but he is not successful.
The grace of God lifts up a standard against that flood. When the enemy would seek to drown us, the Lord kindles a fire within us that cannot be extinguished. It’s a fiery love for The LORD Jesus.
In the hour when God’s people experience their greatest tests, The LORD is reserving a revelation of Himself and His beauty.
He is saying to us, “Don’t be afraid or intimidated of the dragon’s floods, because when I reveal Myself to you, the revelation of My Love will be stronger than the rage of Satan.”
God has a fire that will consume the greatest floods — the very fire of God Himself. The Fire of God’s Love is so empowering that no trial in life can extinguish it.
I feel such a stirring in my spirit to release this Word, as He is calling His People to return to their first love — to lay aside every distraction and set our faces like flint in this season.
God is stirring you… He is calling you to deeper waters.
Follow Him without being intimidated, distracted or negatively influenced. Push forward past the fear and slumber, cling to the secret quiet time spent alone with him and you will find true peace.
Once you taste and see, you are ready to realize the revelation that you can have as much of Him as you want.
He is calling us to The Secret Place, the War Room, the Bridal Chamber in this hour.
