Love will conquer
E-30 030 At the judgment bar you'll see it brought into light. That bull looked at me a few minutes, turned around, walked over, and laid down. And I--I stood there, the tears running down my cheeks. I walked within five foot of that bull, and he never even turned his head and looked at me. Why? Instead of hating him, I loved him. Love will conquer anything. Right.
That's what conquered my heart when I knowed
that God so loved me that He gave His only begotten Son, that I wouldn't have
to perish. Knowed that I was born in this world a sinner, and was perishing,
and God loved me that He gave His Son to--for my life to be redeemed. And then
I--I couldn't hate no more; I had to love. That's what brings these results
that you see. It's love.
HIDDEN LIFE IN
CHRIST SAN FERNANDO CA 55-1110
E-45 045 Watch on the platform when the visions happen. Watch when evil spirits, moving up... Watch what takes place. It's a surrender of the Holy Spirit--to the Holy Spirit. He comes in and takes over. Watch how He controls it. Just watch how it takes place. It's God; It's not man. And if we'd only live in that... God, let us live there.
And as that bull standing about twenty yards from
me, rose and here he come, great long horns. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
"This is the end." And instead of hating that bull; it seemed
strange; I loved him. I wished I could explain it. But let me tell you
something, brother. You'll never come in contact with a greater force in
this life than love. Yes, sir. I do not try to conquer demons by
kicking them. I love God. See, love is what God is. God is love. Love moves
God. "God so loved the world..." It's love. Love's what conquers.
And when this big fellow started towards me, and I knowed it would be death in a few moments, something happened. There was something happened to me, and I loved him. I thought, "Poor fellow, He was asleep. I'm on his ground. I oughtn't to be here." And he started towards me as hard as he could, and I said, "Look fellow, you're God's creative being; I'm God's servant. And I'm on my road to pray for one of God's servant's over here. I'm in the service of my Lord. I'm sorry I disturbed you. Now, you go back in the Name of the Lord Jesus and lay down. I won't bother you."
And He kept coming as hard as he could. I was no more afraid of that bull than I would be of my dear brother setting here by me with a Bible on his lap. That's it.

E-48 048 Friend, I'm not no little boy no more. I've seen a many test, but I've never seen nothing yet could override love. It just takes everything out of the way. Love conquers wild animals. Love conquers. It's just the most conquering force there is, because it's God.
You know why I can help you? Because you love me and you believe me. If you didn't believe me, no matter what kind of works God would do by me, you still wouldn't get any benefit. Do you know that? That's my success with the Lord: the people love me and I love them. And that's where the success comes from. Otherwise, if it wasn't...

SO TOSSED ABOUT JEFF 56-0101
32-3 092 See, if you jumped out there and started fussing at her, and telling her you did have a right and so forth, and you...?... See what you'd have done? Just a few words of love go on down to the heart. Brother, let's get people inside the veil. That's right.
You want to know a little secret? That's how I conquer wild animals. That's how I conquer diseases, is by love. The love of God constrains us to do such a thing. Come in the veil. Won't you today, while we bow our heads for a moment of prayer? (If the sister will go to the piano?)

E-100 100 I remember one time mowing my yard, and there was... I'd went around to the back. People coming and going, I couldn't even get my yard mowed. And the weeds was growing up in the front, when I was in the back. And I took off my shirt; it was summertime. And I--I took off my shirt. And I was mowing with a power mower. I forget about a big nest of hornets. I don't know whether you know what they are up here or not, hanging in the corner. And with my shirt off I hit that fence; in a second's time I was covered all over with hornets. Don't never hate. Love, love is what conquers. And instead of trying to hate those hornets, and them humming all over me, two of them would kill you. One of them would knock you to your knees. Sure. Three or four of them on you, you'd die. And there I was covered over with not even a shirt on. Instead of--of hating those hornets, I loved the little fellows. That sounds juvenile, but's true.
And I said, "Little creatures of God, I'm sorry I disturbed you, this is your home. But I'm a servant of God, and I'm praying for His sick children, and many are waiting. I haven't time to play with you, run on up in your nest right quick in Jesus' Name, and leave me alone. I won't bother you no more."
And God, my eternal Judge knows that they formed a
circle and went right straight back into their nest: love.

How wonderful He works. How He can do those things. Here some time ago,
last year you Christian Businessmen packed the article. It's on my mind, I
might as well tell it. Mr. Mercier and Mr. Goad is setting here this morning,
was up on the...?... showing in nature. God moves in nature. Love
conquers everything. And
when love is projected, grace comes in to help it. Then it's real
conquering love.

Oh, I'm so glad to know that by grace He put that in my heart.
That powerful thing of love, it conquers. It'll... You can conquer
your husband. If he won't go to church, and he fusses at you for going,
just pray. Now, don't try to put it on. If you do, it won't work. But if you
really get such a love in your heart for his soul, he will know it. Don't
you worry. The husband is sanctified by the believing wife, vice versa.
You can't fool it. You can't bluff it. It's got to really be there.
That's the reason where genuine faith...

E-32 032 Hear a little I want you to hear it. There's only one thing that will conquer the devil. That's pure, Divine Love. Love will conquer everything. God so loved the world... They conquered the sin question. They conquered the sickness question. It'll conquer the difference in the church. It'll conquer everything there is unrighteous to be conquered. It'll do it if you'll just let it do it.

But I noticed I didn't hear the gun go off. And when I turned to look,
the rifle barrel was going like this. He dropped the rifle on the ground, and
turned around, grabbed me by the hand, he said, "Billy, I've had enough of
it. I just can't do it." He said, "I want to know about that Jesus
that you know so much of...?..."
There by the grace of God that cruel-hearted hunter,
after seeing that display of real genuine love, it tore the heart out of the
hunter. The love that the mother deer was displaying, she couldn't help
that; she was a mother. Let me tell you, brothers and sisters, when the
people who belong to the church of the living God will display the real
Christian love, it'll conquer more sinners than all the other things you can
put together.
That's what you need. No matter what takes place, if
you don't love the Lord Jesus, O God, be merciful.
GREAT AND MIGHTY
CONQUEROR JEFF IN 57-0421M
29 020 One time, as a little boy I used to think that Christ loved me and God hated me, because that Christ died for me; but God had something against me. But I come to find out that Christ is the very heart of God. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but would have Eternal Life."
Now, He come first to conquer. And the thing that the
Devil had put in the world was hatred. And He come to conquer hatred. When we
win our battles, and so forth, in the world's battles, it's always leaves continually
a hatred; because, battles of that sort is of the enemy. But Christ come with love to
conquer hatred, to love those who were unlovable. He come with a different
weapon. And He humbled Himself, made a little lower than the Angels,
to suffer death, and to give an example. And when He was here on earth, He
walked among men.

CONQUEROR DALLAS TEXAS 58-0610
E-17 017 Napoleon was defeated as a drunken maniac at the age of thirty-three, but at the age of thirty-three, Christ, playing the game right, had conquered death, hell, sickness, and the grave. Never was a Conqueror like Him or never could be.
Ladies and gentlemen, and my brothers, and sisters, it's
time, tonight for the church to pick up that which Christ left us. "This
will all men know you're My disciples, when you have love one for the other."
And take that sword and self-sacrifice and get back to the old Gospel line
again, going out to conquer our enemy. Conquer him by love, by the same
thing that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth Him shall not perish, but have Eternal Life."

Later on in the week, I want to get you some experiences. What's
conquered things, has been love. What conquers the sick, is love. God so loved
the world. God is love. And they that love are of God.
Now, that's... Now remember, that's not phileo love;
that's agapao love. As you probably know. See? It's a godly love, not this here
free love they call it in churches and things like that, but this agapao love,
God sent love, real genuine love.

E-15 015 He come to my house; he was up here. What started his ministry, is up there when that maniac run out to kill me (You've read it many times.) on the platform. And then--and he stood out there with his shoulders back, and spit in my face, and everything else, and said, "You deceiver," before sixty some odd hundred people. He said, "Up here imposing yourself as a servant of God..." said, "I'll break every bone in that little body of yours." Great big, two sixty pound. Well, you better know what you're speaking about. You better not speak at all; just let God do the speaking. I knowed He'd led me there.
And two little policemen I'd led to Christ back in a
dressing room in the auditorium, run out to grab him. I said, "This is not
a flesh and blood affair; just let him alone." So he run up there... Now,
I'll tell you, if you ever get one speck angry, you better walk off the
platform. There's only one thing will conquer any devil or anything else;
that's love. That's the only way I can ever help anybody, is when I love
them. And I can feel the love of them to me.
