God Deeds 13j8 Integ Battle LOVE TEST, cont.

Now to the next aspect of the Love Test: besides learning God better, the test helps you learn HIS PLAN better.  Which in turn, helps you love God better.

For the MATURE spiritual life and its victory, is to learn to love fighting.  Satan failed this.

Note the fine distinction:  learning to LOVE the fight is an integration all its own.  Some things you'll enjoy fighting, others not.  But all must get to the love level.  Real love is an insistence, a demand, not a feel-good thing, kinda like addiction. But unlike addiction, the more you learn to love all the fights, the more even the smallest victory, pleases.  Addiction, by contrast, requires higher and higher rewards but each time you get less and less pleasure.

God's love is the opposite of that, total pleasure even in the smallest and worst things (viz, the Cross).  So that's how the integrating function of the LOVE for the BATTLE, develops.

For THINKING is your real spiritual agenda, down here.

Related, are diagnostic links and an overview of how the Spiritual Maturation Process enables you to integrate CONTRADICTIONS as they 'play' in your life.

You can actually test yourself for growth.  My pastor spent 12 years diagramming the Spiritual Maturation process, which I condensed into a six-page chart, http://www.brainout.net/SMP.doc .  If your version of Word precedes 2002 or is much later and you can't read the doc, try this link:  http://www.brainout.net/SMPdocforOlderWordprograms.doc .  If that doesn't work, please message me.  I can turn it into pdf.

Videos to explain that chart (sound is scratchy, so you need an equalizer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibi66ksWPUQ&list=PL69C21C9E8F2DAA21&index=6
