CD 1867 Daily Duties of a Disciple

Week 2 CD 1864 The Book of Jude = The Reward of Righteousness or Rebellion " REMEMBER REBELLIONS REWARD - CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS" In 2026 the Word of the Lord to VWC been “Choices.” We're in week #2 of our new series this morning on the book of Jude. If it goes as planned it will take us at least a month to cover it.  Last week in the series starter we talked about Contending For The Faith.  This morning we're going to be looking at Jude chapter 1 verses 5 through 7 with a thought about "REMEMBER REBELLIONS REWARD." Loosely this is what we're going to be looking at in the next 3 coming services; Jude 8–16 — CHOOSE YOUR PATH Jude 17–23 — BUILD & KEEP Jude 24–25 — TRUST THE KEEPER And there's a sermon thread running through all five weeks: Our choices have consequences, but our choices don't have to be made without God's help. Brother Jason on the screen:  *1Co 10:1-5 KJV 1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. *Text: Jude 1:5–7 (KJV) Jud 1:5-7 KJV 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Note remembrance, Jesus teaches us that it's the holy Ghost that comforts us with the truth:  *John 14:26 KJV But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your Remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.  REMEMBER and you will not be hindered by what has happened in the past! With the Lord's help we will learn by example rather than evil experience! Choose to remember what happened to those who rebelled. Jude gives three examples: #1 Israel in the Wilderness Reread Jude 1:5 (KJV) I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. Note I will therefore put you in remembrance though you once knew this, they let the word of God slip out of their minds like a water slipping out of a cracked vessel. Hebrews 2:1 (KJV) "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." Read God's promise and Exodus chapter 6 verses 6 through 8. But they let the promises sniff on by: *Read Numbers 14:26-32 (KJV)  #2 Angels who Left their Proper Habitation *Read #3 Sodom and Gomorrha The common thread is rebellion followed by... Jude groups them together to make a single, urgent point to the Church: God’s character has not changed. The false teachers claiming that God's grace gives license to live in rebellion, sexual immorality, or lawlessness are walking in the exact steps of these three historical groups—and their end will be the same. In closing: Jude says: Israel experienced God's deliverance, but some afterward believed not. The angels had a position given to them by God, but they kept not their first estate. Sodom and Gomorrha knew what God had established, but turned away into rebellion. Three different examples. Three different kinds of rebellion. One warning. Rebellion has a reward. And Jude is saying, Remember it. Today, you can make your choice. Choose obedience. Choose faithfulness. Choose God's Word. Choose to remain where God has placed you. Because you may choose the road— but the road chooses the destination.

CD 1860 Obey and You Shall Not Stray “Let His Word be the answer, not the question.” Bro. Jason: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” — John 14:15, KJV Text: ***  “Obey and You Will Not Stray” is a very strong sermon theme. It is simple, memorable, and has a clear biblical progression. Tonight's message will be built around the idea that obedience keeps us walking in the path God has already revealed. OBEY AND YOU WILL NOT STRAY 1. Obey the Word — and you will not stray from Truth. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” — Psalm 119:105, KJV God's Word doesn't merely tell us what to believe; it shows us where to walk. That connects beautifully with your thought: “Let His Word be the answer, not the question.” When God's Word says go, we go. When it says stop, we stop. When it says forsake, we forsake. When it says follow, we follow. 2. Obey His Voice — and you will not stray from His Way. “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it…” — Isaiah 30:21, KJV There is something powerful here: God gives direction, but we must respond with obedience. The danger isn't necessarily that we don't know God's way. Sometimes we know the way and simply choose another way. 3. Obey His Will — and you will please His heart. “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.” — John 8:29, KJV Jesus gives us the perfect example. His goal wasn't merely to avoid sin. His desire was to please His Father. And then 1 John 3:22: “…because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” So you have a beautiful progression: The Word → The Way → The Will Obey the Word → Stay in the Way → Please the Lord. And there's another verse: “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” — Job 36:11, KJV That gives you the actual “obey” language right in the text. And perhaps the closing thought could be: “Every time I obey God's Word, I take another step on God's path. Every time I deliberately disobey His Word, I take a step toward straying.” Obey—and you will not stray.

CD 1869 Comfort My People  I heard in my spirit: "Comfort ye - Comfort ye"! Sis. Victoria: Isa 40:1 KJV Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. *Joh 14:18 KJV I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Text: 2Co 1:1-5 KJV 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: 2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. Note "Achaia" means trouble, note verse 4 speaks of trouble. Take the promise to heart: *Pro 12:13 KJV The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. Turn to the Gospel of Luke please: Read first: *Luk 8:43-48 KJV 43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Go back to the start: *Luk 8:41-43 KJV 41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. 43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Drop down past what we read earlier: *Luk 8:48-56 KJV 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

CD 1780 Secrets: Self - Satan - Savior  - Part 3 #3 The Savior's Secrets (Mysteries of God and the Gospel) *Read Mark 4:11 & 23-25 (KJV) And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.  *Read Romans 16:25-27 (KJV) Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. The Savior secrets are in His Word and when we hear His Word faith comes! And when Faith comes then you and I can live by obedience to that truth that makes us free! Let's finish out the year in the strength of the Lord and let Him prepare us for His destiny in our lives! Remember secrets come because of our relationship with him through the spirit and that affects our relational relationships in the world!

CD 1780 Secrets: Self - Satan - Savior  - Part 1 We started the year out with our theme being secrets. As the norm we preached the first several weeks on that subject and then we moved on. But now as we're closing out 2025 which seems impossible we're going to finish out the year with a deeper revelation of secrets that's going to help us in the coming year and our relationships!  Bro. Jason: *Deuteronomy 29:29  The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Notice we have a responsibility to receive God's revelation and then pass that Revelation on to our children! Notice how the verse ends that we including the next generation may be able to do all the words of the law! We need to take responsibility for the generation and their actions because of Faith or lack thereof! Turn with me to the book of Hebrews chapter 1 please for our opening text: *Text: Hebrews 1:1-6 (KJV) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Notice in these verses of scripture that we have the profits to hear from God then in the last days where the Revelation that he's going to talk to us through his son the Lord Jesus Christ! So the secret thing belongs to the Lord that Revelation comes by Jesus Christ. So this morning we need to remind ourselves of the secrets of: Self, Satan, and Savior! #1 Self Secrets (Things Hidden within Man) *Read Jeremiah 17:9-10 (KJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. *Read Matthew 15:15-20 (KJV) Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. *Read Genesis 6:5-9 (KJV) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Just as God gave Noah Grace in the time of judgment God has gave us Grace now through the sacrifice of the Lamb of God his son Jesus Christ! Our old heart is dominat

Satan's Secrets (The Schemes of the Adversary began with Pride) *Read Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. *Read Ezekiel 28:12–19 (KJV) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brigh

CD 1774 Are You Minding Your Own Business? Food 4 Thought: stop and think for a moment and see if you can remember how many times somebody has told you to mind your own business! Probably everyone under the sound of my voice has been told that at least once and their life and if you have a more involved personality you probably cannot count the number of times you've been told to mind your own business. But this morning as children of the most high God we have an example from the Lord Jesus Christ to follow. So this morning I asked you are you minding your own business? Not your personal business alone but your heavenly business from your father in heaven? Remember Joseph he was about his master's business when sin came calling and he went running to a righteous God because he was about his father's business! (See Genesis  39:11-12) With that question be an ask Brother Jason is going to put two verses of scripture on the screen that show us that we are children of God and we are to work the works of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ: Bro. Jason: *John 1:12 KJV But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: *John 14:12 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Now let's turn to the gospel of Luke chapter 2 for our text this morning:  *Text: Luk 2:41-52 KJV 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Notice in verse 49 our key thought for this morning Jesus asked a simple question to his parents: wished you not that I must be about my father's business? Q. What is the Father's business? Though this can be subjective I feel like when we're talking about the Father's business we're talking about these three:  #1 Love *Read 1 Peter 4:8 KJV And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. *Read 1 Corinthians 13:8 KJV Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. *Read 1John 4:7-14 KJV 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins

CD 1772 Protected by Peace over Problems  (Understand our position is our peace!) We understand that the Bible teaches us about faith hope and love and the greatest of all is love! In fact our God doesn't just love He is love! But this morning you and I we need to understand that faith hope and love brings peace into our lives and it's by peace that we have protection!  But we'll talk about that in a minute! Right now know that you have peace with God (Romans 5:1-2) and peace from God because of your relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! In the King James version Bible the word peace is listed 429 times in 400 verses! Can you guess what two books in the Bible has peace listed the most? Ironically it's the book of Leviticus with 31 times and the book of Isaiah 29 times. Think about the theme of atonement, substitution, and offering. Leviticus lays out the blueprint of salvation through a blood sacrifice then Isaiah prophesies Jesus Christ is that blood sacrifice! Brother Jason: *Pro 4:23 KJV Keep (GUARD) thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. *Phi 4:7 KJV And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep (GUARD) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *Note that verse 7 starts with the word and so there is a qualifier in the preceding verses, we will cover that in more detail later.* *Text Eph 2:8-22 KJV 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Note verse 13 by the blood of Christ Jesus I can come now to God as my father because of the blood on the mercy seat!  Note verse 14 that Christ Jesus is our peace!  *Joh 14:1-7 KJV 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

We talked about Abraham this morning, tonight let's look at Elisha the the Godly. #2 Elisha  *Read 1Ki 19:15-21 KJV 15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. *2Ki 2:1-15 KJV 1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; h

Text: Ecc 3:1-8 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

CD 1768 Having, Holding, Hearing the Holy Spirit Praying in the Holy Spirit Donna and I laid down at 8:00. Went to sleep somewhere around 9:00 then woke up after about 30 minutes. I have took NyQuil and Benadryl, a cold out the salsa still awake so now I took I a amitriptyline. So I'm sitting in my chair praying in tongues.  Scriptures: Text: Jude 1:19-21 KJV 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. From these versus the scripture we see three great benefits of praying in the Holy Spirit:  #1 Faith being Built Notice in verse 19 they talk about being sensual in other words carnal rather than spiritual! But then the Lord with his word gives us the solution. He tells us to build ourselves up on our most holy Faith. Remember in Romans 12:3 we know that the lord gave us the measure of faith. We know that Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. When we consider what Jesus told us and John chapter 14 about the holy Spirit would remind us of things Jesus had said and teach us new things then it's clear that when we start praying in the holy Spirit that The measure of Faith the word was built on causes our soul  - our mind will and emotions to be renewed!  #2 Living by Love But as we see then in verse 21 there is a great extra added benefit as well! Notice he said that we were to keep ourselves in the love of God! Romans 5:5 tells us that the love of God is being shed abroad in our heart. So when we pray in tongues not only does it build up our faith but it puts the love of God to work in our lives. When we consider that first Corinthians 13:8 tells us that love never fails! So just in these few verses of scripture we see the power of living the abundant Life that Jesus came to give us! This is a great benefit in the understanding that Jesus said in John 14:15 if you love me you'll keep my commandments. So in other words we should be able to follow the word of God more closely in truth. This is very exciting when you consider and John 8:31 through 32 and then in verse 36 Jesus teaches about becoming his disciple and knowing the truth that would make us free. He said who the Son makes free is free indeed! #3 Moved by Mercy He tells us to look for His Mercy! That word translated looking means to wait and confidence with patience! Read Luke 1:71-75 KJV 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. Notice in verse 72 that God had promised Mercy all through his word through his son Jesus Christ! From Genesis 3:15 to Isaiah prophesying about Jesus 700 years before the fact! So we can be assured of his Mercy. The more that we pray in the holy Spirit the more aware of the fact that because of this Mercy we have fellowship with him and do no longer have to be controlled by the spirit of fear! Note 2 Timothy 1:7 the word of God tells us that God is not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love and of a sound mind!
