Fascinating responses
A lot of what was said was true and wise. There are many kinds of spiritual strength there is great faith there is the humble and self sacrificing servant there is one who has a caring heart for the hurt and the lost there is the ones who are full of God's zeal and boldly( yet humbly and lovingly) preach the gospel even if they are mocked and laughed at there is the ones with great wisdom and insight there is the ones who are prayer warriors who are powerful in the art of prayer and whose prayers save ppl's lives souls and help heal mental and physical wounds and much more.
I admit I want all of this in the deepest level however as great of strength as all of these are there is one that tops them all and that I see as true strength and that is love. Love is the mark of a true believer love is the spiritual steroid of a Christian love is who God is and was his motive for having Jesus die on the cross it was love that gave Jesus the conviction and the strength to go through what he did and why he would do it a thousand times over for the sake of just one person it is love that gives us true sight to be able to see through God's eyes not our own it is love that connects the hearts of God and of the believer in the deepest level.
The strength I seek is love but I seek a dangerous level of it one that if God and I actually achieve the cost could very well be great, I do not seek an ordinary love faith and relationship with him. To have all these great strengths a deep love with God for God and for all others is required, which is why God told me in the beginning of my faith seek love above all else and everything else will fall into place

Yes the Bible tells us things we are to do in order to grow more Spiritually. Study the Word of GOD, Pray, Fast, Spread the Gospel, Encourage another with Bible Scripture, Intercede when led by HOLY SPIRIT. Also, be very mindful for what you ask. When our Faith is tested it is not so easy best to just let GOD Grow you in HIS Timing. Just be available to be used, GOD will do the rest.

as trials come,and we overcome through the word of God and faith,then we build personal,working powerful faith.
Remember ole David. He saw Goliath as an opportunity while the whole army shook in fear.
Goliath said he would kill the little punk and feed him to the birds.
David,having already built his faith through adversity,punched his memory;I killed the lion and the bear,what is this girly man to my God?
David punched the prophetic; "I see your head coming off"
Once you face down your enemies,(bad news,storms of life,attacks by pple,etc) and use the word of God as your weapon,victory is sure.
Once you come to the other side,you see how God delivered,and got you the victory.
At this point ,THOSE VERSES BELONG TO YOU.THEY ARE YOURS FOR LIFE.

The greatest way to be filled with love,is to be filled with the HS. This is why the disciples were to tarry and wait for the HS in the upper room.
W/O love,we fail.
That is the only way to truly walk in love,for outside of God,there is human love,and it is a cheap imitation.

Agree totally, you see the feeling of Love is a sense which God created us to Have which on a lower scale is part of his Love.
his Love is on a much longer scale, for God can love the serial killer as much as a new born baby but us Humans would struggle with such forgiveness and understanding even if the serial killer was completely sorry for what he or she did.

Human love is different than God's unconditional love.
God is love.
love is not God
In humans, love is an emotion.Something we are born with.
In the Born again christian the HS residence makes the believer a container of God,and a container of the love of God,or God's love ,therefore an added ingredient, not present before conversion.
This does not mean man has NO love w/o conversion,as the love in non converted humans has it's source from God. IOW w/o God the unconverted would have no love,as the human love he has came from God.
