I was raised a Christian, born the son of a minister and a theology college professor. For many years, I was trying my best to do what God wanted, but not being consistent spiritually; I had problems with worldliness in my life. I believed that I 'knew the truth', as some people would say, but there was something big lacking in my life. I wanted to have the power to live a righteous life, but this was beyond my best efforts. I was missing the personal knowledge of how much God loved me! I thought I knew what this was before, but I didn’t. I hadn’t given my heart to God all the way, even though I thought I had, when baptized as a boy. By the end of 2013 or later, a wonderful change took place in my life, after I was listening to an inspirational audio book many times, that was written in the Late 1800’s, and my life will never be the same! The truth was so inspirational, I wanted to hear it again and again, hoping that I could absorb it, it was so wonderful to my heart! I decided to give my heart to God all the way! I thought I had done this years before, but I had not given it to Him all the way. But I didn’t know then that I needed to give my heart to God every day! Then God filled my heart with great peace, love, joy and faith! This was what I had been searching for and wanting all of my life! I never knew such love and joy existed! God’s love for you will help you to love and trust Him too, like He did for me. If you confess all of your sins, and give your heart to Him, there is nothing to fear for your future. This will give you great peace. Your salvation is secure as long as you keep confessing your sins to Him, and keep giving your heart to Him: no one can take this away from you! “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 NASB. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 KJV. It is my desire to help as many people as possible become as happy as I am, and even more so, if that is possible! It is also my desire to help as many people as possible to have the power to please God, and the assurance of their own salvation with Him! God want’s everyone to know, that if they will, He will help them and bless them, and give them a new life with Him. I endeavor to show in my books, how to get to know God, and how to get this everlasting peace, love, joy, faith, and happiness, that He wants to give to everyone who would have it. And that we don’t have to wait until we get to Heaven to have peace, joy, love and faith. It is God’s desire to give it to us now! And these gifts from God will enable those who receive it to have everlasting life! It is my prayer, dear reader, that you would desire, and get these blessings from God for yourself!

This book was written starting around April 2014. (4/14/2014)

The Love of God – God’s Plan To Save You series is intended to build a complete system of the essential truths of God’s love for us, or the gospel message on how to be saved, and how to please Him, and how to be happy in His love.

If you have not read our first book, The Love of God: God's Plan To Save You!

See the Epilogue Chapter for more information on this, and the recommended Phone, Tablet, or PC Book Readers to get, and why.

This book would not have been possible without the rich blessings that God bestowed on me, which I didn’t deserve. I deeply thank God for showing me His love, and giving me the inspiration to write this book, that He put into my heart to write. Even though my name is on this book, this is really God’s book that He provided for me, and for others, to show everyone how much He loves us. The words and thoughts in this book are His, even though I had the privilege of writing down these beautiful thoughts that He gave me, in my own words. As I wrote each chapter, God was leading and teaching me more of His wonderful love, to keep me from falling away from His marvelous grace; He was tenderly showing me how much He loves you and me! It was such a joy to spend the time in writing this book, thinking about how much He loves you and me! God loves you, and wants to help you get to know Him better, so that you can have all the joy and power to live a righteous life that you were meant to have, and to be forever saved. Please test to see if the words and thoughts in this book line up with the Holy Scriptures and are Spirit filled. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. John 16:13. This book was an answer to my prayer to God, to have something to share with others, so that they too can have this wonderful joy that He wants to give them. And because I needed to study more of these truths for my own sake.

God wants everyone to know, that if they desire, they can get to know Him, and can approach His thrown of grace to receive help and mercy in time of need: to receive the gift of life from above, and get His peace, wonderful peace, and be full of His love, faith, joy and happiness, now and throughout eternity! He wants us all to have the assurance of our own salvation, if we want it, because He is able to keep us from falling, and He will forgive us if we fall, and help us back on the road to Heaven, if we want this. Our salvation that He wants to give us is ours, if we want it, and are willing to comply with His conditions.

This book will show the reader who hungers and thirsts after righteousness, how they can be filled with His love, and abundant life from above, and hopefully will inspire everyone who reads it to hunger and thirst for more of God’s love. In these troublous and perilous times that are ahead of us, God wants all of His children everywhere, and those who are not yet His children, to know the joy of His companionship, and show us how to prepare for Heaven, to go to the mansions of glory He has prepared for all who love Him. This book was produced by gathering beautiful thoughts, and wonderful truths from God's Word, to show His love for everyone in the world. This book will focus on God’s love, which is the key to everything good in this life, and the life to come.

I would like to thank my wife, Jeanne for her suggestions for this book, and for my books in general.

And I want to thank you, dear reader, for the opportunity to share with you God’s love! It makes my heart so happy to know that God is giving me this wonderful privilege of showing you how much He loves you! Oh what joy!

Dedication:

This book is dedicated to God and to people everywhere: in every faith, and for those who have no faith, who want to be happy; who really want to get to know God; who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with His love!

Introduction:

Discover the Beautiful Truth That God Loves You and Has a Plan to Save You!

When you read this book, you will discover the more advanced truths of God’s plan to save you: how to be happy and become part of the Bride of Christ! It is easy to get all of these blessings and more from God, if you will just get to know Him. God loves you, and will give you part of Heaven now, if you will give yourself completely to Him, and then He will fill you with His precious Holy Spirit to help you be happy and please Him. Is this what you want? God will give this to you and more, if you want it! May your life be richly blessed by God, as you read this book, and learn about how much He loves you, and get the inspiration to witness of His love to others, and the ability of bringing honor and glory to His wonderful name! May His name be forever blessed! This is our prayer for you.

If you have read our first book in this series (The Love of God Part 1), mastered its steps, and allowed God to give you a new life with Him, you should know the value of what we are presenting. Your heart is filled with great joy and love for Him! No turning back! Why would you want to turn back to your old ways without the Holy Spirit fully in your heart? It is the pathway of death - there is no life in it, love or joy, or confidence in your salvation, or the companionship of the Holy Spirit! Your old ways have nothing of any value to give you that you want, and cannot give you peace, or help you to overcome sin, or help you to have the patience of the Saints and have the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, as well as the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. If you have tasted of the Heavenly gift, there is indeed, no turning back! You are now in love with God, and you crave more and more of His Spirit and gifts, and are wanting to be His servant now. You now want to fully become part of the Bride of Christ and prepare to receive the Latter Rain. Do you want this? Yes! So go ahead and read this book, you know you want to!

From the Author

God has been so wonderful to me, more than I could ever deserve, when He forever changed my life with His love. My desire is that everyone could experience the joy and happiness that God has given me! He showed me how much He cared for me when He gave me His precious Holy Spirit, filling my heart with His love. This has been the most wonderful experience in my entire life! God’s love has completely broken my heart; He strengthened me and gave me His peace, love, joy, faith, hope and happiness. I no longer want anything but His wonderful presence in my heart, guiding me, protecting me, and saving me. If I want anything else, it comes after this, for I would trade everything I have in order to keep His precious love; I want His love above all else. At first I thought I was writing a book about Righteousness By Faith, then later I thought it was about How To Get The Holy Spirit, but then I discovered that the book that I was writing was really a story about God’s love for us! God’s love is supreme, and because of this love, He wants to supply you with all the gifts you need to be happy, now and forever, including peace, love, faith, joy. And He will give you the Holy Spirit, if you desire! You will never deserve the love that God has lavished on you, nor the gifts He wants to provide you, but since God is love (1 John 4:8), He will supply them to you anyway, if you desire them and are willing to love, trust and obey Him.

The Purpose of This Book:

It is our desire for this book to teach you God’s love from the Bible, and how to prepare for Heaven; to become part of the Bride of Christ, with God’s other people who want to be there too. And to learn to run the race with endurance! And if you haven’t received the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit yet, that you would get this promised blessing now! It is also the purpose of this book to help you put away sin, get closer to God, whom you love, and get the help you need to get your ministry to serve God with started, or if you have one already, to get it turbo supercharged! And have the faith, and the power to make it through to the end of the world.

It is our belief that the ideas in this book should be accepted by all Bible believing people everywhere, who love the Lord, because this book will show the truth of God’s love for you from the Bible. We believe that if there were more Christians full of God’s love, and filled with His Holy Spirit, that the work to preach the Gospel to the whole world would be done much sooner, and then all of God’s children could go back to Heaven with Jesus. The Spirit will also take away our desire for supremacy, and self-seeking and will give us love for everyone, which will help us all be one in Christ. It is our desire to see everyone in the kingdom of Heaven. There will be unity among those who give themselves completely to God at some point. They will eventually follow the same truths and faith, because those who have the Holy Spirit will be led into all truth as Jesus promised in John 16:13.

We sincerely believe that if more people could understand the blessings that God wants to give them, that there would be more people accepting the invitation He is offering of eternal salvation, a new life with Him, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. It is our desire to help all lukewarm Christians break out of this terrible condition who want to, so that they can please God and be happy, and be a light to the world, and bring honor and glory to His wonderful name. The experiences of those who give themselves completely to God, and receive the Holy Spirit, are those who have found the very happiness and joy they have been searching their whole life to find! And they have found it, the Pearl of Great Price! This is the peace, love, joy, and happiness that makes life worth living: living for all eternity with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit whom they love!

It is our prayer, dear reader, that you will have the most wonderful experience of your life, as you read this book, study your Bible, and pray to God for a closer walk with Him, and that He would fit you up to serve Him if this is your desire! May God richly bless you, and give you the true desire of your heart, and help you to become part of the Bride of Christ, and claim your rich inheritance in Heaven, surrounded by the ones you have helped to get there. Amen! May God fill you with His Holy Spirit, and fill you with His glorious Latter Rain power! Amen!

#1 The Kindness and Love of God Fills You With Happiness & Joy!

To talk about the kindness and love of God, is to talk about His plan to make you happy, and take you to Heaven, where there will be nothing to hurt or irritate you, or make you unhappy again. God will give you part of Heaven now; He will give you happiness and joy now, if you confess your sins, and give your heart completely to Him. The kindness of God, promised you eternal life, before the world began: In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Titus 1:2 KJV. When God in His kindness promised that He wanted to save you He really meant it, for it is impossible for God to lie! Hebrews 6:18. Oh the wonder of God's love for us! 'The kindness of God leads you to repentance!' Romans 2:4 NASB. Yes, it is God's kindness that leads you to repentance! Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins, and promised to send you the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to soften your heart, to lead you to repentance, and to fill your heart with His love. John 14:26; 15:23; 16:7-8; 16:13 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7 KJV. Yes, God is so kind to us! He sent Jesus His only son to die on the cross for our sins, and He gives us the Holy Spirit to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9), renewing our hearts and making us the child of His love. All this was possible, because Jesus paid the price for our sins!

Why Is God So Kind To You and Me? Why Does He Love You and Me So?

God wants to fill you with His Holy Spirit, to help you to obey His voice in all things, and share His great love with others. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, and submitting your life to being molded by God, to fit you for Heaven and for His service, is the preparation needed for the Bride of Christ to enter Heaven; to go to the land where there is no more dying, and no more hurt. To get to that happy land, you need to give your heart to God, and submit to His refining fire in your life, to shape you and to make you happy!

The Kindness and Love of God Enables You To Be Kind To Others:

Because when you confess your sins and receive the Holy Spirit, He gives you the ability of being kind to others: "Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart." Proverbs 3:3 NASB. The only way you can keep the truth and be kind, and to keep kindness and truth from leaving you, is if God gives you His righteousness and writes it in your heart! His Holy Spirit must dwell in your heart. So this is really a prayer to God saying, God, please help me to be kind, and keep your law and testimonies; help me to be righteous! Write your truth and kindness on my heart! Bind your love around my heart: let your kindness and truth never leave me. Keep me from leaving your wonderful love. This text has its ultimate fulfillment in Heaven, when you will be safe forever from sin and suffering!

Heaven Will Be All Happiness and Joy!

Our minds cannot conceive now of how intense this will be. But ever since God changed my heart, I feel drawn closer and closer to His love, and inexpressible joy has filled my soul. God has given me a piece of Heaven now. As you really get to know God, you will experience great peace and joy too. It is my prayer today and forevermore, that you will experience this joy and love for yourself. God will heal the hurt of your heart, and help you through the trials of this life, if you will just submit your will to Him, and give Him your whole life, heart and soul!

All of Heaven Is Waiting To Help You, If You Will Just Give Your Heart To God and Believe In His Love For You!

He wants to take the sadness and hurt from your heart. He wants to remove your shame by giving you His righteousness, which is brought about by your confession of sin, and by the full infilling of His precious Holy Spirit, the only way you can be righteous or happy! He wants you to love others, even as He loves you and to remove the selfishness from your life, and all things that will hurt you, and hurt others! He wants your joy in Him to grow each day: "For the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10 KJV. No matter what happens or how many bad things happen to you, your joy in Him will be complete, if you will just trust in His love, kindness and mercy! It is God's kindness and love that changes your heart. We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 KJV. It is the kindness and love of God that teaches you to have faith in Him and to trust Him, as your love for Him grows. And the best kindness of all, after forgiveness, is the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter! God gives you His Righteousness, when you allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in your Heart. This allows you to be righteous, for if you submit your heart, mind and soul to the Holy Spirit; He will fit you for Heaven!

The Benefits That God Gives You If You Are Born Again:

Now, let's talk about the benefits God brings to you when you are born again, and have committed your whole life to God. But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, for You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress. Psalms 59:16 NASB. Yes, God is your fortress and stronghold! You can take refuge in Him; this fills your heart with joy! Once you know Him, you know that He loves you, and you can trust Him completely to save you! Take refuge in His strength that cannot fail! When you confess your sins, He fills your heart with peace. Everything that God has done for you makes you love Him. As you recount His blessings, He gives you joy and happiness!

"That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:10-14 KJV.

Oh! The kindness of God to you and me! I can never understand why He is so kind! When I was living without the hope that I now have, before I gave my heart totally to God, and the Holy Spirit filled me, I didn't fully realize that I was unhappy, and what real joy was like. I was used to having doubts, perplexities, and feeling bad as the result of sinning. I was asking God for forgiveness, but I had the continual worry whether I would be good enough to be saved, and what I needed to do. I am no one special, God was just working on my heart and leading me in spite of everything. God led me to see how much He loves me, and He started to fill my heart with hope, joy and love! And before I knew it, I accepted God's invitation to give my heart completely to Him, so that He could fill my heart; I asked God to take my heart! I then started to learn what real happiness is all about. I will never tire of thinking about Him, and how wonderful He is for saving me! He saved me from the cruel bondage of self-righteousness, and from the guilt and bondage of sin! I can't stop thanking Him for giving me the opportunity to share this joy with you, and others.

Psalms 23:

One of the most beautiful passages in the Bible talking about God's love and protection, which gives us happiness is Psalms 23:

"A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." Psalms 23 KJV.

'I shall not want' - this means God will supply all your needs. 'He leads me besides still waters' - He keeps you safe from danger, and gives you peace. 'He restores my soul' - this is God's plan to forgive you, and give you His Spirit to help you become righteous. He wants to restore you to the lost Eden, which is Heaven and the New Earth. If you will give your life to Him, He will lead you in the path of righteousness. You will have no fear, because God is your dearest friend! And God wants to take you to Heaven, so you can dwell with Him forever, in the house of the Lord. Oh, God's everlasting goodness and mercy! You will never be worthy of Heaven, but it is God's everlasting goodness and mercy that provides you this home in Heaven with Him!

This text was most likely written by David when he was in the wilderness running from King Saul for his life, when God took care of him and saved him, or when David’s son Absalom’s army was trying to capture and kill him, or some other extremely trying circumstance that He went through. God anointed David with oil to be the king of Israel, by the prophet Samuel. 1 Samuel 16:1-13. 'Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over' also refers to being filled with the Holy Spirit, which was the joy David had when he was anointed King of Israel, by the prophet Samuel, and filled with the Holy Spirit (1 Samuel 16:13), which you can have too!

This next text is a prophecy about Christ, 'the son of David', but also applies to us when we belong to God and He fills us with His precious Holy Spirit: "Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." Psalms 45:7 KJV. When you are anointed with the Holy Spirit, God helps you to love righteousness, depart from wickedness, and live for Him, and will give you the oil of gladness!

God Will Give You Part of Heaven Now:

God gives you part of Heaven now, when you give yourself completely to Him and receive the Holy Spirit! Then you will feel a strong desire to help others; this will be proof that the Love of God has penetrated your heart, and you are filled with the Holy Spirit. You will say to yourself, 'This joy and peace that I am feeling is too good to keep to myself, I want to share it with others.' If you earnestly desire to help others, pray to God for more power and joy, and He will give you even more help, so that you may bless others! God will give you all the gifts, and things you need in order to help others, and lead them to Him, if you consecrate your life to God. All of God's gifts to you, especially the gift of spiritual life through the Holy Spirit, makes you thankful to Him, and makes you even more happy! This makes Him happy too, because He longs to give you all the best things in life: righteousness, peace, happiness and joy! He also wants you to share in His happiness, by bringing the light of His love and truth to others, so they can experience the same joy that you have too!

"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord
