1 John 4v8 - "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."The sign that one's life is filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit is the overflow of the expression of love.

2 Timothy 1v6 'For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands"The Holy Spirit will have a powerful effect in our lives when He is fan into flame

Ephesians 5v18 (AMP) - "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him."Being filled means allowing our lives and living to be under the Spirit's control and influence (just like how alcohol influences and controls a drunk person)

John 14v16-17 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you."The Holy Spirit is a person. The implication of that is that we ought to fellowship with Him

Luke 11v13 - "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”The Holy Spirit is God's gift to us to help us live the Christian life. There cannot be a fruitful walk with the Lord without the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 2v10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."- Our daily lives must be about good works because we are saved- Our daily lives must be about growing in our intimate fellowship with God

Colossians 1v10 - "so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;"We must live as though we have an audience of one; God Almighty

Daniel 1v8 - "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."

Philippians 2v15 - "that you may become blameless and [a]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,"We may be the only demonstration of Jesus some people will ever see. Let's represent Him wherever we are

Philippians 2v6,7 - "who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. "Jesus did all He did in spite of His divinity and His greatness. That is the perfect example of Humility

James 4v6 - "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”Humility is a key to abounding in good work before it attracts God's grace.

Romans 10v17 - "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ"Faith begins with revelation and it is fulfilled in obedience

Hebrews 11v13 - "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."Faith is how we access what God makes available by grace

Romans 10v17 - "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ"The Word of God in your heart and the value you place on it is what gives you victory over fear

2 Timothy 1v7 - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind"Fear is not of God. it causes us to take flight and abandon the faith process needed to access what God has freely given to us

Joshua 1v8 - "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."The transition between hearing the Word and prospering in it is Meditation

Matthew 6v25 - "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"- Don't elevate the basic needs of life and the value of riches above the word of God

Psalm 119v130 - "The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple."Understanding comes by meditation

Luke 8v11 - "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God"Just as a seed is intended to grow and bear fruit, the Word of God we encounter is intended to produce an outcome in our lives.

John 15v4 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me"In order to bear fruit in Christ we must abide in Him. Also, the key to bearing more fruit is pruning

John 15v2 - "Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit."Fruitfulness is both a blessing from God and a mandate we must fulfill. God expects fruits

1 Corinthians 10v23 - "All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up."Until we are built up, we can't do the things we are expected to do as disciples of Christ

1 Corinthians 6v12 - "“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything."A good question to ask, in our walk with God, about the things we do (apart from whether they are sins or not) is whether they are helpful or they dominate us.

Acts 10v38 - "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."Pray gives us access to divine help

Luke 6v12 - "Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God."Why did God incarnate have to pray while on earth? The reasons offer great examples and insight for our own personal walk with God

Mark 1v35 - "And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed"A prayerful person develops a consistent discipline of prayer. Also, a prayerful person doesn't postpone prayer when there is an immediate need for prayer

Daniel 6v10 - "When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously."Prayer is an expression of our faith and spirituality. Our lives in Christ are built on Prayer

Psalm 91v1 - "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most HighShall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."Personal intimacy with God demands genuineness, vulnerability, and time and attention.

Psalm 42v1-2 "As a deer pants for flowing streams,so pants my soul for you, O God.My soul thirsts for God,for the living God.When shall I come and appear before God"

"John 17v3 - And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."If we will lose anything in life, we must not lose our intimate personal relationship with Christ. It is the practical evidence of our eternal life

"Philippians 3v7 - But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ."The ultimate goal, pursuit and achievement in life is to know Christ

Ephesians 4v13 - till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

2 Corinthians 4v18 - while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Romans 12v2 - And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you

Hebrews 11v10 - for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Acts 4v13 - 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

Philippians 3v7 - But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

Matthew 16v24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Psalm 23v3 - He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Philippians 2v9 - Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name

Acts 4v12 - Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Ephesians 2v6 - and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Ephesians 1:19-20 - and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

Romans 6v4 - Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 5v1 - Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ

Colossians 2v14 - having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Leviticus 17v11 - For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'

Ephesians 6v16-17 - above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Romans 8v6 - For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Ephesians 6v12 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

2 Corinthians 13v14 - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen
