Maranatha is not a trend, nor merely an eschatological belief. It is a cry of love and adoption. Scripture reveals two cries of the Spirit within us: ?Abba, Father? (Rom. 8:15) and ?Come? (Rev. 22:17). ?Maranatha? is the Spirit in every child calling to the Father, and the Spirit in the Bride longing for the Bridegroom. It is the Spirit Himself within us crying out in love and longing?for our Father and our Beloved?calling the Son and the Father to come and dwell with us: the Trinity, here and now, again, and forever. Amen.

First Love believes that God has called and placed modern-day revivalists and reformers in every sphere of society.

In 2021, God spoke that there are modern-day Daniels, Josephs, and Esthers already in position, yet many are running an ?unsupported marathon.? First Love has embraced the invitation to build rest stops for the saints along the way.

The heart of First Love is to come alongside these modern-day Daniels with refreshment, renewal, community, and practical tools?empowering them to bring Heaven to Earth in every sphere of society.

First Love recognizes that there is an army of sons and daughters, each with a vital role in the Great Commission. Discipleship flows from being ?lovers, not doers,? cultivating intimacy with Jesus first. The desire is to see every child of God step ?off the bench? into their calling?whether as a doctor, lawyer, software engineer, barista, personal trainer, product manager, actor, or stay-at-home parent. Every person has a role to play in God?s family and in this eternal story of Jesus receiving His Bride from every tongue, tribe, and nation.
