God's Love Expressed - Carrie Pickett - Charis Daily - Season 1 Ep. 2

Main ideas & concepts conveyed

• The core question: Why do believers experience sickness if God loves them?
• Purpose of the episode/series: To teach healing from multiple angles, with the emphasis that understanding God’s love correctly is foundational to walking in healing.
• Central revelation: Healing faith should be rooted in God’s love for you, not in performance, religious effort, or “earning” God’s favor.

God’s love defined (by Scripture)

• “God is love” (1 John 4:8) — love is God’s essence, and it’s how He defines Himself.

Wrong religious framework (what the enemy uses)

• Religion can redefine God’s love so that it depends on your good works/behavior.
• This leads people to think: “If I do well spiritually today, God will love me more and respond.”
• The result is instability and fear: believers feel unworthy on “bad” days.

Life-changing correction

• God’s love is not earned.
• He loves you because He is love.
• This correct understanding changes how you approach God for healing.

Key scriptural foundation: Titus 3:4–8

• God’s kindness and love appeared by mercy, not by works of righteousness you do.
• Salvation (and related spiritual truths) comes through:
  • God’s mercy
  • the washing/regeneration
  • renewing of the Holy Spirit
  • Jesus’ work
  • —not human effort.

Love doesn’t operate through emotions

• Many seek emotional proof (goosebumps, tears) for love.
• The teaching argues that faith-based revelation comes through the Word—similar to how faith for salvation was received without seeing.

God’s love shapes authority toward sickness

• When you know you are loved, you develop “faith works by love” (faith activated by love).
• Sickness is framed as something that does not have rightful authority over you because of your identity in Christ.

Lessons for healing (practical emphasis)

• Identity shift: You’re not trying to get God to love you—you come because God already loves you.
• How to respond to symptoms: In pain, run to God and treat symptoms as something to be resisted from a position of love/authority.
• Fear resistance: With an understanding of God’s love, fear is cast out (tied to Romans 8).
• Destiny focus: Sickness is described as an enemy distraction—pulling attention inward and dulling believers’ “salt and light” impact; love helps believers stay focused on purpose.

Instructional / bullet methodology implied by the teaching

Step 1: Correct the foundation

• Replace: “God loves me because I’m good.”
• With: “God loves me because He is love.”

Step 2: Study and meditate on love scriptures

• Treat this as Bible study: read, write notes, and “go back” to internalize revelation.
• Emphasized scriptures include:
  • 1 John 4:8
  • Titus 3:4–8
  • 1 John 4:7–10
  • Romans 8:37–39

Step 3: Receive love by faith, not emotions

• Believe what God has already done (especially Jesus’ death and God’s demonstration of love).
• Understand that revelation comes through the Word, not primarily through feelings.

Step 4: Practice “Amen” over God’s promises

• Healing is framed as learning to agree with God (“Amen”), because the promises are “already yes” in Christ.

Step 5: Hand symptoms to God from the love-position

• Suggested prayer stance:
  • Thank God for loving you today.
  • “Hand” symptoms to Him because He loves you.
  • Resist fear and reject the enemy’s attempts to steal time, purpose, and future.

Step 6: Defend your position/authority

• Approach sickness as unauthorized:
  • “The devil can’t steal my day… my time with my kids… my career… my future.”
• Ground it in identity:
  • “More than conquerors… through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).

Step 7: Keep love revelation before you

• Revisit teachings/resources so you continue to “keep saying” what the Spirit leads you into.

Step 8: Get prayer support

• Call/seek ministry prayer for reminders of God’s love and for prayer aligned with the promises.
