Communities of Agape
The Agape Community Experience
Wholeness is defined as the ability to control one self because of the Christian principles within the person, which came from their family upbringing and God-life experiences.
Brokeness is in all persons. However, those who are not products of a well-ordered family life as a basis for the development of healthy egotistic self-abasement for obedience to God and the accomplishment of His holy will, as well as relational harmony and life in the body of Christ.
Heredity, education, family faulty and sinful choices along the way, do not eliminate the person from growing in union with Christ-Jesus.
As one progresses in true love, and the effects of surrender to God’s rights through a personal relationship with Him, the child of God can progress into union with Him as a bride-lover through Jesus Christ.
They can then become a meaningful instrument of the Holy Spirit in ministries in the Body of Christ and in the Agape Love Communities.
They allow the persons of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit to have control of their life even in the finer details of life.
They choose to live according to the law of growth and gradually in the commandments, promises and principles in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is agape love poured into the heart by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that motivates and moves the person to choose this life of living the Gospel by His Spirit of
agape love.
This life-style is seen and accepted as one that does not contribute to ego self-aggrandizement but of growth and a life increasing in agape love.
Its mission’s success is hidden to the eyes. One is not able to measure its success because it is one of the intercessory prayers and reparation prayers.
Because it is “not of this world” as Jesus said, it is of His kingdom contrary to the world’s value system.
