Morning Bliss: Fruit of Love_


Focal Scripture : 1Corith.13:4; Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud,

                   Read: 1Corith.13:4-8


Today, we’ll focus on love as one of the fruit the Spirit.  Love is a word we hear a lot. It’s a word we say a lot. I might say, “I love ice cream,” etc. Those are the feelings we have - affection for something.

The word used for fruit in this verse is talking about our actions! (”Fruit” Greek: karpos - work, act, deed.) in 1Corinthians 13:4; Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. 
These verses tell us many of the actions of love: Being kind, not being rude, not bragging, protecting, and trusting are things we can do.

Remember, love is one of God’s characteristics, God is love (1 John 4:8). These verses tell us what God is like! God is patient and kind...(go through verse, replacing “love” with “God.”).
 John 3:16; God gave His Son. Is giving an action? Yes! God sent Jesus to take away our sin and bring us back to Him.

When Jesus was on earth, people could see what true love looked like. Jesus was always patient. Jesus was patient with Peter,  taught Peter, day after day, for three years. Was that an action?Yes.

Jesus did not look out for His own interests. He put other’s needs before His own. 
Jesus chose to come to earth even though He knew many people would treat Him terribly. In fact, He gave up His own life to pay our sin debt. Was that an action?Yes. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. - John 15:13

And Jesus did not keep track of other peoples’s wrongs! 

In Jesus, we see the perfect love of God lived out in action!
As believer in Jesus, if my trust is in Him, I should be living this kind of life. I should be showing this kind of love to other people every day. But you know what? I have learned that on my own, I can’t show love very well. I need the Holy Spirit to share His love abroad in my heart so I can Love like Jesus. Rom. 5:5

Morning Bliss: Sin through One Man' Focal Scripture : Romans 5:12; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."                  Read: Romans 5:12-16 Can one man make a difference? Human history shouts in the affirmative. One man, one woman, one child can have an enormous impact, either for good or evil. Adam, by eating of the fruit which God had forbidden, plunged himself and all his posterity into sin. And the inevitable result of sin was death. The world is full of "if onlys". If only Adam had not eaten of that fruit! If only the people had listened to Noah's preaching! If only Moses had not lost his temper! If only Peter had stood up for Jesus! On the other hand, the world is full of "what ifs". What if Abraham had not faithfully followed God's command? What if David had not stood up to Goliath? What if Paul had not written to the churches?...

Morning Bliss: Focus On Jesus_ Focal Scripture : Luke 10:20 - 'Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.'                                      Read: Luke 10:20   We were never instructed to have a Ph.D. in demonology.  However, some justify focusing on Satan and his activity to an inordinate degree.  This will actually encourage demonic activity and become a device that Satan can use against us. As Paul said, we should not be 'ignorant' of Satan's devices.  We certainly need to know that the devil and demons exist, and we need to recognize when we are facing demonic activity. But we need to keep our focus on the Lord. Some people who are excessive in 'spiritual warfare' actually spend more time talking to the devil each day than they do talking to God.  That's not r...

Power Of Perception

https://anchor.fm/eric-michael/episodes/Power-Of-Perception-e5184k  Power Of Perception   There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking. — William James ■ YOU ARE BORN UNAFRAID The child is born with no fears, except those of falling and loud noises. All other fears have to be taught to the child as he or she grows up. The two major fears we all develop are the fear of failure or loss and the fear of criticism or rejection. We begin to learn the fear of failure if we are continually criticized and punished when we try some- thing new or different. We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!” Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure, often accompany these shouts and criticisms. We s...
