Shalom I wish you a blessed about God guided day. Listen to the voice of God and let guide you by the Holy Spirit and run!

1 John 4, 13

By this we know that we abide in him and he in that he has given us of his Spirit in us.

The Holy Spirit in you!

And what we remember receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit?

Here Opens not but again the room mystical experiences and supernatural powers?

John does not address this question.

But he would probably agree with his fellow apostles Paul and answer us: Behold the “fruit of the Spirit” in contrast to all “works of the flesh” (Gal 5, 19-2)!

The first basic fruit is love. And just they and only they, the truly ‘supernatural and essentially Divine. Gifted to God “out of his mind”, as it is literally in the text, he gives us loving heart. Now we could be sure the Apostle accused that he might bring us around in circles.

When God remains in us?

If we love one another.

How do we recognize God Stay in us?

On his Spirit he gave us.

And what we notice the reality of this gift of God?

At its fruit, the love.

So he ends with the “love one another”, from which it emanated. But this circle is necessary. He is the only form in which we can describe the cycle of life.

Just because our love is just not our own performance, but fruit of the Spirit of God, the Great statement can be made that God remains in us if we love one another. Our Stay in God and God abiding in us is documented in the indwelling of the Spirit of God in us. But this spirit, so the spirit of God, proves fundamentally on its precious fruit that corresponds to the nature of God; to love. As such circle the statement we can talk about the wonders of being a Christian.

Once again made us aware that love is the starting point for everything and through it all is fulfilled. We must never neglect the love that love is all without love everything is nothing.

Pay attention to your behavior in this world, watch your behavior towards your brother. I know it from our own experience how hard it is, how fast I get above myself, how fast it happens that I get upset over a man and was developing bad thoughts.

This is wrong, even a small bad thought is no longer in love, purify your thoughts so that good fruit may arise, the results just a good seed a healthy fruit.

Pray for your thoughts, pray that love lives in your heart. Pray for that every seed grows through love.

God’s protection, blessings and peace

your pastor Lionheart
