John 14:23-26 #TPT
Jesus replied, “Loving me empowers you to obey my word. And my Father will love you so deeply that we will come to you and make you our dwelling place.
But those who don’t love me will not obey my words. The Father did not send me to speak my own revelation, but the words of my Father.
I am telling you this while I am still with you.
But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.

26)But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.

“And David danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn.”

Exodus 23:20-22 #AMP
[20] Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep and guard you on the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
[21] Give heed to Him, listen to and obey His voice; be not rebellious before Him or provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgression; for My Name is in Him. [Exod. 32:34; 33:14; Isa. 63:9.]
[22] But if you will indeed listen to and obey His voice and all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

Psalm 51:10
10)Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.
1 Corinthians 1:18-21 #TPT
To preach the message of the cross seems like sheer nonsense to those who are on their way to destruction, but to us who are being saved, it is the mighty power of God released within us.
For it is written: I will dismantle the wisdom of the wise and I will invalidate the intelligence of the scholars.
So where is the wise philosopher who understands? Where is the expert scholar who comprehends? And where is the skilled debater of our time who could win a debate with God? Hasn’t God demonstrated that the wisdom of this world system is utter foolishness?
For in his wisdom, God designed that all the world’s wisdom would be insufficient to lead people to the discovery of himself. He took great delight in baffling the wisdom of the world by using the simplicity of preaching the story of the cross in order to save those who believe it.

Romans 12:12
12)constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength],
John 12:22-26 #TPT
So Philip went to find Andrew, and then they both went to inform Jesus.
He replied to them, “Now is the time for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Let me make this clear: A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat—all because one grain died.
“The person who loves his life and pampers himself will miss true life! But the one who detaches his life from this world and abandons himself to me, will find true life and enjoy it forever!
If you want to be my disciple, follow me and you will go where I am going. And if you truly follow me as my disciple, the Father will shower his favor upon your life.

Psalm 19:1
1)The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.
Matthew 20:25-28 #TPT
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, called them to his side and said, “Kings and those with great authority in this world rule oppressively over their subjects, like tyrants.
But this is not your calling. You will lead by a completely different model. The greatest one among you will live as the one who is called to serve others,
because the greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one with the heart of a servant.
For even the Son of Man did not come expecting to be served but to serve and give his life in exchange for the salvation of many.”

Matthew 19:8-12 #TPT
Jesus said, “Moses permitted you to divorce because your hearts are so hard and stubborn, but originally there was no such thing.
But I say to you, whoever leaves his wife for any reason other than immorality, then takes another wife is living in adultery. And whoever takes a divorced woman in marriage is also living in adultery.”
His disciples spoke up and said, “If this is the standard, then it seems better to never get married.”
“Not everyone is meant to remain single—only those whom God gives grace to be unmarried.
For some are born to celibacy; others have been made eunuchs by others. And there are some who have chosen to live in celibacy for the sacred purpose of heaven’s kingdom realm. Let those who can, accept this truth for themselves.”

"Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble." -1 Peter 3:8 👨👩👧👦💖✝️
Philippians 4:4-9 #TPT
Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow!
And let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near.
Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,
then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.
Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
Put into practice the example of all that you have heard from me or seen in my life and the God of peace will be with you in all things.

Matthew 19:27-30 #TPT
Then Peter blurted out, “Here we are. We’ve given up everything to follow you. What reward will there be for us?”
Jesus responded, “Listen to the truth: In the age of the restoration of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will have twelve thrones of your own, and you will govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
For anyone who has left behind their home and property, leaving family—brothers or sisters, mothers or fathers, or children—for my sake, they will be repaid a hundred times over and will inherit eternal life.
But many who push themselves to be first will find themselves last. And those who are willing to be last will find themselves to be first.”
