Where Do We Stand?

In the Garden of love, where Godly love resides, one finds peace, harmony, and tranquility. However, this serene environment, full of Godly love, provokes Satan's opposition. Therefore, when someone creates a Garden of Eden through rigorous toil, which is true repentance, Satan seeks to infiltrate and destroy the love that resides there.

In contrast, those living outside the Garden of love dwell in a desolate wilderness, plagued by strife, lack of peace, estrangement, violence, anger, arrogance, pride and hatred. The biblical account of Cain and Abel poignantly illustrates this contrast.

In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. (Genesis 4:3-8, NIV)

Love Exists Only in the Garden of Love:

Godly love is found only in the Garden of love, not in the desolate wilderness. Therefore, why would Satan break into the Garden of hatred? What would he achieve by breaking in where such people live? Do thieves rob their own houses? No! Therefore, he comes to break into the newly created Garden of love, created through 'rigorous toil', which is true repentance, where humanity follows Jesus' lifestyle, as scripture states:

When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. (Matthew 12:43-4, NIV)

Protect Love Through Prayer & Fasting:

Jesus' lifestyle is needed to prevent Satan from breaking into the Garden of love. Such an enduring lifestyle can be achieved through continual true repentance and fasting within the boundary of the Garden of love, as stated in the scripture:

…..“This kind can come out only by prayer. (Mark 9:29, NIV)

God Protects Devotees in the Garden of Love:

Therefore, those living in the desolate wilderness, need to undergo ‘rigorous toil’ of true repentance, for the sins committed since adolescence, to enter the Garden of love to live according to Jesus’ lifestyle. Once inside, prayer (true repentance) and fasting that manifest the ‘rigorous toil’ must be done continually to thwart Satan's attempts to break in. Fortunately, God does not abandon His devotees, and He can rebuke Satan away, as he is severely scared of Him.

Garden of Love: Abundance and Prosperity

You may be familiar with the Parable of the Lost Son. It is a parable of a family of father and his two sons. They built the Garden of love, a replica of Garden of Eden, outside the Original, through their ‘rigorous toil’, which is true repentance. That was an exceptional Garden of love of selfless love amongst the three and other inhabitants. So much love that neither son was plagued by human vices, despite their differing work ethics: elder was, a hardworking farmer while the youngest didn’t work. In their garden of love, they had everything – wealth, crops, servants, labours, animals, land, fields, and so on, and they didn’t lack anything. The river of milk and honey flew there, which is a proof of their ‘rigorous toil’ through which they had successfully built the Garden of love. This substantiates the fact that the Garden of love doesn’t lack anything, there flows the river of milk and honey. Those who create it, prepare God’s regime. Such people love their soul, relatives, neighbours and ancestor’s souls. Therefore, God provide such people the ability to earn their livelihoods: bread, cloth and shelter, as scripture reminds us:

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33, NIV)

Caution: Maker of the Garden of Love

Sadly, Satan roams around the world with all its negative strength, and unholy desire to steal love from the newly build Garden of love, a replica of the Garden of Eden, outside the original. Therefore, whenever a Garden of love is built, through ‘rigorous toil’, which is true repentance, Satan, the thief of love, always comes there, to rob the godly love, causing unrest and disturbances over there.
