Making A Difference One Person At A Time
One Family at A Time
2 Corinthians 4:16 (Darby Translation)
Wherefore we faint not;
but if indeed our outward man is consumed,
yet the inward is renewed day by day.
To My Dear Spiritual Children, Friends, and Partners,
As believers we are to be examples of Christ-character. The word Christian means, Christ-like; (Webster’s), to exhibit a spirit proper to a follower of Jesus Christ. Being like Jesus becomes an effortless task when we are totally surrendered to Him. Not our will, but Thine, O’ Lord. What are some ways we can become more like Jesus?
Be Filled Afresh Daily With the Holy Spirit
Seek the Lord daily in private prayer. Read and study His Word daily. Through this daily refreshing we are growing our spirits, renewing our minds, and equipping ourselves for God’s plan, purpose and will for our lives.
Reference--II Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 4:23; Romans 12:2; II Corinthians 4:16
Walk in Love/Manifesting the Fruit of the Spirit
If not for love, where would we be? The plan of salvation was divinely devised by Amazing Love. John 15:13 says, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down His life for His friends. The two greatest commandments include loving God first, with all our spirit, mind and body and to love one another as He has loved us. WoW!
Reference--I Corinthians 13; John 13:34 -35; John 15:13 -14; Deuteronomy 6:5; John 13:35 ; I John 4:21
There are too many scripture references to list, but a study on love would be an exciting venture. That’s a challenge to you!
One can only possess the good fruit of the Spirit if he/she is in covenant with Christ, walking in obedience to the commandments and principles of God while not fulfilling the desires of the flesh/soul.
Reference--Matthew 7:17; John 15:1-8, 16; Romans 7:4, Galatians 5:22
If we are truly walking the Love Walk, we will be bearing good fruit and others will know who we are. Matthew 7:16 Notice the first fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22 is LOVE!
May the Lord bless you, encourage you, and protect you daily.
