The fruit of the Spirit of God is: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control. Love The husband must LOVE his own wife as he LOVES himself. The Body of Christ is the church and the husband and wife, as one body, are a part of the church, Ephesians 5.21-26. We have received what we need for eternal life in glory, but first we must develop, and exercise, our faith, our goodness, our understanding, our self-control, and our patience, all through the fruit of the Spirit of God, Galatians 5.22, and then develop, and exercise, our LOVE and devotion to God, 2 Peter 1.3, 5-8. Since they will not grasp the LOVE of the truth and possibly be saved, God is sending a power to mislead them and make them believe what is untrue, 2 Thessalonians 2.10-11. All God’s courses are LOVE, and faithful, for those who keep God’s covenant and commands, Psalm 25.10. You must do what God’s Word tells you, by following it, or you will mislead yourselves, James 1.22. Those who are doomed for destruction are the persons who did not open their minds to LOVE the truth, and therefore gain eternal life in glory, 2 Thessalonians 2.10. God LOVES righteousness, and justice, and God’s unfailing LOVE fills the Earth. By the Word of God, the heavens were made, their whole display by the breath from God’s mouth. God collects the ocean waters as though in a goatskin, and stores the deeps in storehouses. Let the whole world fear God, and all who live on earth honor God, Psalm 33.4-8. It was for God’s LOVE of you, that God kept the oath God swore to your fathers whom God brought out with a mighty hand, and redeemed from the house of slavery, from the power of the Pharaoh, King of Egypt. Your God is indeed a faithful God, who is true to God’s covenant, and God’s kindness is for a thousand generations is toward those who LOVE God by keeping God’s commandments, but God punishes those who dislike God. Keep and observe God’s commandments, statutes, and ordinances, which are before you today and in return, God will be true to the covenant, and kindness, which God promised your fathers, to LOVE, and bless you, Deuteronomy 7.8-12. Fasten your attention on holiness, faith, LOVE, and peace, while being in union with all those who call on the Lord with pure minds, 2 Timothy 2. 22. Christ is the head and will shape and join the whole Spiritual body. Every part adds to the final strength, and if each individual part works properly, the body will grow until it has built itself up in LOVE, Ephesians 4.15-16. I want Spiritual encouragement to be fastened together in LOVE, and receive the wealth that comes from full development of understanding. The result is a true knowledge of God’s secret. God’s secret is Christ in whom is hidden all the treasures of wisdom, and knowledge. I tell you this so you are not led into untruthful teachings by attractive insincere words, which are false, Colossians 2.2-4. I urge you to affirm LOVE for someone by showing it in your true actions, 1 John 3. 18. God gave Christ absolute maximum Spiritual power since the Father LOVES the Son and has entrusted everything to the Son. Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life in glory, and the disobedient will never see life in glory, John 3.34-36. Make yourself an example to all the believers in your speech, your behavior, your LOVE, your faith, and your purity. Until I arrive, spend your time by reading to the people, preaching, and teaching. Do not neglect your spiritual gifts, 1Timothy 4.12-14. Do not LOVE this dying world or anything in it. The LOVE of the Father is not in anyone who LOVES the world because nothing the world has to offer, such as lust of the body (sinful sex), the lustful eye, and pride in treasures could ever come from the Father, but only come from the world. The world, with all its cravings, is ending but anyone who does the will of God abides forever, 1 John 2.15-17. May God grant you power and strength, through God’s Spirit for your Spiritual self to grow strong, that Christ may dwell in your spirit in LOVE, Ephesians 3.16-17. I am writing to give you a new commandment, to LOVE one another, and to LOVE is to live according to God’s commandments. This commandment you have learned since the beginning, live a life of LOVE, 2 John 5-6. The goal of our instruction is about LOVE coming from a pure spirit, along with a good conscience and a sincere faith. By falling short of this, some have gone astray and taken the road that leads to empty speculation. They want to be doctors of God’s law but they understand neither the arguments they are using nor the opinions they are upholding, such as upholding sinful sex, 1Timothy 1.5-7. We constantly remember your works of faith in action, your works of LOVE, and your perseverance in hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, all this in the presence of God, our Father, 1 Thessalonians 1.3. Jesus said, “I know your ways, how hard you work, and how much you put up with. I know you cannot endure wicked persons and that you put to the test the impostors who called themselves apostles, and proved them to be liars. I know too that you have endurance and have suffered for My sake, without growing weary. Nevertheless, I have this complaint to make, you have less LOVE now then you used to,” Read 1 Corinthians 13.1-3. “Remember from where you have fallen. Repent and change your ways and do as you used to do. Repent, or I shall come to you and take your church from its place,” Revelation 2.2-5. If I do works of Spiritual communication, speaking in tongues, and have no works of LOVE, then I am no more effective than lots of noise. If I accomplish works of prophecy and know every hidden truth, and have faith strong enough to move mountains, I have nothing if I have no works of LOVE. I may give all I have to the poor or even offer myself as a sacrifice to the Lord, but if I have no works of LOVE, there will be no profit in my doing these works. 1 Corinthians 13.1-3. You may be quite sure that in the last days, difficult times will arise. Humankind will LOVE self and money, be boastful, arrogant and rude, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, insincere, and unappeasable; they will be slanderers, profligates, savages, and enemies of everything that is good. They will be treacherous, reckless, and demented by pride, LOVING their own pleasures and not God. They will keep up the outward appearance of religion but they will have rejected the Spiritual aspect of it. Avoid people like this, since they can never come to know the truth. Their minds are corrupt and their faith counterfeit. Continue in what you have learned and know to be true, by remembering who your teachers were. You have known the religious Scriptures which taught you the wisdom that leads to salvation, also the forgiveness of past sins through Faith in Jesus Christ. All scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for refuting error, for correction, and teaching one to be holy. Now you can be dedicated to God and become fully equipped, and ready for good work, 2 Timothy 3.1-5, 7-8, 14-17. Let us teach each other how to stir a response in LOVE, and good deeds, and to not stay away from community meetings (in a visible church.) Encourage each other to attend, the more so as end times draw near, Hebrews 10.24-25. What counts is faith that is active through LOVE, Galatians 5.6. God’s LOVE never fails for those who fear Him; it is everlasting as is God’s righteousness to their children’s children, as long as they keep God’s covenant to obey God’s commandments, Psalm 103.17-18. Anyone who LOVES other Christians is in the light and there is no reason for that person to stumble, 1 John 2. 9-11. LOVE displays patience, and kindness, but never jealously. With LOVE, one never is boastful, conceited, rude, selfish, for LOVE never resentful or takes offense. LOVE is ready to excuse, trust, hope, endure, delighted in the truth, but LOVE takes no pleasure in the sins of others. Things that last are faith, hope, and LOVE, and the greatest of these is LOVE, 1 Corinthians 13.4-7, 13. In my spirit I truly LOVE God’s law, but I can see that in my unspiritual human nature, there is an unspiritual force that wages war against God’s Spiritual law, which is in my spirit, and I am miserable. Who can rescue me from a humankind body that is doomed to die? Jesus Christ certainly can by giving me a Spiritual Nature so I can obey God’s law, Romans 7.22-25; Ezekiel 11, 19- 20. Jesus said, “The Father LOVES Me for I lay down My life to take it back again. Through My own free will I lay down My life, and nobody takes it away from Me. I have the right to lay it down and the right to take it back, and these words are from My Father,” John 10.17-18. Jesus said, “My commandments are accepted and obeyed by the one who LOVES Me.” My Father will LOVE anybody who loves Me, and I shall LOVE that person and show Myself to that person,” John 14.21. The Lord disciplines those whom the Lord LOVES, and punishes all those the Lord acknowledges as the Lord’s children. Suffering is part of your training, Hebrews 12.6- 8. Through your faith in Christ, may the Spirit of God dwell in your spirit, then being planted and rooted in LOVE, may you be able to understand, along with all of God’s people, the width, length, height, and depth of the LOVE of Christ, even though this LOVE surpasses your knowledge, and may you be filled with the fullness of God, Ephesians 3.17-19. God did not give us a Spirit of weakness, but of power, LOVE, and sound mind, so never be ashamed of witnessing about our God, or of myself for being a prisoner of service, but accept hardships for the sake of teaching the good news, 2 Timothy 1.7-8. God has delivered us out of the power of darkness and placed us in the Kingdom of the Son that God LOVES, and in whom we have our freedom, the forgiveness of (past 2 Peter 1.9) sins, Colossians 1.13-14. Be an example of a believer by your Spiritual gifts, Mark 16.17-18. There are three things which last forever: faith, hope, and LOVE but the greatest of these is LOVE, 1 Corinthians 13. 13. Therefore, you are (can be) children of your heavenly Father, if you LOVE your enemies and pray for your persecutors, Matthew 5.44-45. To LOVE God with all the spirit, with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and to LOVE one’s neighbor as one’s self, this is much better than burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Jesus replied, “your words are thoughtful, and you are not far from the kingdom of God,” Mark 12.33. The blessed are those who produce good deeds of LOVE, Matthew 25.35- 40. God said, “Since that one LOVES Me, I will deliver that person and I will lift that one above danger since that person knows My name. When that one calls upon me I will answer, and be with that one in time of trouble, for I will rescue that person and bring honor to that one. I will satisfy that person with a long life to enjoy the fullness of My salvation,” Psalm 91.14-16. LOVE is from God, and everyone who LOVES is a child of God and knows God. Anyone who does not LOVE other followers knows nothing about God, because God is LOVE. God will dwell in us if we LOVE one another, 1 John 4.7-8, 12. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, LOVE, patience, and gentleness, 1Timothy 6. 11. All things work together for the good of all those who LOVE God, all those who are called according to God’s purpose, all those whom God predestined, those whom God justified (from past sin). God also shared God’s glory with all of them Romans 8.28, 30. Is your life based upon Heavenly truth, and LOVE, 2 John 3; Zechariah 8.19. Do not secretly plot evil against one another, do not LOVE false oaths since all this is what I hate, but LOVE both truth, and peace,” Zechariah 8.16-17, 19. JOY I am aware of your faithfulness to the truth, and of your life in the truth, and it is my extreme JOY to hear that you are living according to the truth,” 3 John 3- 4. You will have in you, based on God’s own glorious power, the strength to never quit but to JOYFULLY bear anything. Thank God who has made it possible for you to join the Saints and with them to (possibly) inherit the light. God has taken us out of darkness and created a place for us in the Kingdom of God’s Son, and in Christ we (can) gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our (past 2 Peter 1. 9); Ezekiel 18:24) sins, Colossians 1.11-14. If you keep My commandments, you will live in My love just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and live in My Father’s love. These I have told you so My own JOY may be in you and your JOY may be complete, John 15.10- 11. Due to your faith in Christ, May the God of hope fill you with such JOY, and peace through the POWER of the Spirit of God, that there will be no bounds to your hope, Romans 15:13. Come, let us sing to God, let us shout JOYFULLY to the rock of our salvation, let us come before God’s presence with Thanksgiving, JOYFULLY singing to God with psalms, for the Lord is a great God, a great King above all other gods, Psalm 95.1-2. “When that one calls upon me I will answer, and I will be with that one in time of trouble. I will rescue that person and bring honor to that one, for I will satisfy that person with a long life to (ENJOY) the fullness of My salvation,” Psalm 91.15-16. To the servant who gained five more coins, the master said, “Well done, you good and faithful servant, I will put you in charge of many things, so enter into the JOY of the master.” Matthew 25. 21. The kingdom of heaven is as a treasure which one found then hid it in a field and with JOY, that one sold all possessions and used the money to purchase the field, Matthew 13.44. Blessed is the one who fears God, who finds (JOY) in obeying God’s commandments. Children of such a person will be mighty on earth, and the descendents of the upright will be blessed, since wealth, and riches are found in that one’s house. That person’s righteousness endures forever, Psalm 112.1-3. When we were enemies to God, we were reconciled to God by the death of God’s Son. Since we have been reconciled we surely may count on eternal life in glory by the life of God’s Son. We say this not merely because we have been reconciled, but because we JOYFULLY trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ by whom we have (may have) already gained our reconciliation, Romans 5.8-11. The wicked perish at the presence of God, but at God’s approach the righteous are JOYFUL they exult, and sing for JOY, Psalm 68.2-3. There will be more JOY in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance, Luke 15.7. Wisdom will enter your mind and knowledge will be your delight, prudence will keep watch over you and understanding will guard you while saving you from evil ways, from those whose speech is deceitful, from those who leave the paths of the righteous to walk the roads of darkness, from those who find their JOY in doing wrong and delight in deceitfulness, from those whose paths are crooked. Pursue the way of good persons persisting in the paths of the righteous. The land will be for upright persons to live in. The innocent will remain there while the wicked and the faithless will be uprooted from the Land, Proverbs 2.10- 15, 20- 22. The Kingdom of God does not mean eating or drinking, it means righteousness, peace, and JOY, brought by the Spirit of God. Let us adopt any custom that leads to peace for our mutual improvement. Any act done in bad faith is a sin, Romans 14. 17, 19, 23. God has arranged the body that more mistreatment is on the parts which are without it that there may not be disagreements inside the body, but each part may be equally concerned for all others. If one part is hurt, all parts are hurt with it. If one part is specially treated, all parts ENJOY it, 1 Corinthians 12.24- 26. To God, who can keep you from stumbling, and bring you, with spotlessness and great JOY, into the presence of his glory; to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let their be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time, now and forever, Jude 24, 25. PEACE Let us adopt any custom that leads to (PEACE) for our mutual improvement. All the truth about us will be brought out in the law court of Christ, and each of us will get what we deserve for the things we did in our body, good or bad, 2 Corinthians 5.10. They have misled My people saying PEACE when there is no PEACE. They will not set foot on the soil of Israel. The council of My people will not hear their prophesy, and their names will be erased from the book of Israel. They have misled my people by saying there is PEACE when there is no PEACE,” Ezekiel 13. 10, 9 In our life of truth and love, grace, mercy, and PEACE, will come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, 2 John 3. Your grace and PEACE will increase as you come to know our Lord. By Christ’s divine power, Christ has given us all the things necessary for life, and for true devotion, bringing us to know God who has called us by God’s own glory, and excellence, 2 Peter 1.1-3. Wisdom that comes down from heaven is pure, PEACEFUL, gentle, and considerate. It is full of mercy with no trace of deceit. PEACEMAKERS, working for PEACE, sow the seeds which bear fruit in righteousness, James 3.17-18. Therefore, avoid the youthful evil ways and pursue faith, love, PEACE, and good, in union with those who call upon the name of the Lord with a pure Spirit, 2 Timothy 2. 22. No PEACE for the wicked, Isaiah 57. 21. Christ is the PEACE between us, and has made all of us into one body, by breaking down the barrier of division through Christ’s own body, Ephesians 2.14 God says to the prophets who lead God’s people astray, “When they have something to eat, they cry PEACE, but they declare war on anyone who gives them nothing to eat, Micah 3.5. Due to your faith in Christ, May the God of hope fill you with such joy and PEACE through the power of the Spirit of God, that there will be no bounds to your hope, Romans 15.13. God said, “I will make a covenant of PEACE with them, and it will be an everlasting covenant. I shall place them, multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary, My dwelling place, in their midst forever. I will be their God and they will be My people. The nations will know that I am the Lord, the sanctifier of Israel, when My sanctuary (God’s Universal invisible Church) is with them forever,” Ezekiel 37.26-28. That we may be able to live a religious and reverent life in PEACE, and quiet, is a rightful prayer and will please God, our Savior. God wants everyone to live an eternal life in glory, by reaching full knowledge of God’s truth, 1Timothy 2.2-4. We have been placed in the right relationship to live in Christ/God, in union with GOD/Christ, due to a spiritual nature, justified from (past) sins, all this due to our faith. We are now at PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through Christ we have been allowed to enter into God’s glory, Romans 5.1-2. Always display love because this is the perfect bond of unity, and let the PEACE of Christ rule in your spirit for the PEACE of Christ put Jews and non-Jews, into the same one body, all Christians being equal, Colossians 3.14-15; Ephesians 2. 14. If you walk according to My words and keep My commandments as to carry them out, I will make your crops productive, and give PEACE to your land, Leviticus 26.3- 6, 11-12. Pursue PEACE with all people and the holiness, without which, no one can ever see (be in union with) the Lord, Hebrews 12.14. The fruit of righteousness is derived from seeds sown in the Spirit of PEACE, and are reaped by PEACEMAKERS, James 3.18. The covenant with Levi was one of life and PEACE, and I gave such to Levi as an object of reverence. Levi revered Me and stood awe of My name and I was respected and My name greatly admired. True instruction was in Levi’s mouth and unrighteousness was not found on Levi’s lips. Levi walked with Me in PEACE, and uprightness, and Levi turned many back from sinning, Malachi 2. 5- 7. Do not secretly plot evil against one another, do not love false oaths since all this is what I hate, but love both truth and PEACE,” Zechariah 8.16-17, 19. The God of PEACE resurrected our Lord Jesus from the dead, for Jesus to become the great Shepherd of the sheep, through Christ’s blood that sealed an eternal new covenant. May God make us ready to do God’s will in any kind of good action and turn us into whatever is acceptable to God, through Christ to whom be glory forever and ever, Hebrews 13.20-21. God wanted all perfection to be found in Christ and all things to be reconciled through Christ and for Christ, everything in heaven and everything on earth, when Christ made PEACE by death on the cross, Colossians 1.19-20. PATIENCE By God’s grace, and power, we have received what we need for eternal life in glory, but first we must develop, and exercise, our faith, our goodness, our understanding, our self control, and our PATIENCE, all through the fruit of the Spirit of God, Galatians 5.22, and then develop, and exercise, our love and devotion to God, 2 Peter 1.3, 5-7. Love displays PATIENCE, and kindness, but never jealously, 1 Corinthians 13.4-7. We must be satisfied to hope that we shall be saved because our salvation is not in sight, but if it were in sight we would not be hoping for it. We are not yet saved so we must hope to be saved, and in hoping for something which we do not think is in our grasp, we display PATIENCE, Romans 8.24-25. How often they rebelled against God in the wilderness, how often they grieved God in the desert, time after time, (trying God’s PATIENCE) and provoked the Holy One of Israel, not remembering God’s power when God delivered them from the enemy, Psalm 78.40- 42. Therefore, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, PATIENCE, and gentleness, 1Timothy 6. 11. Let us delight in hope of the glory of God, which can be ours, and let us delight in our present sufferings for sufferings promote PATIENCE, and we can boast about our sufferings. Suffering breeds PATIENCE and PATIENCE promotes perseverance. Perseverance develops hope, and hope does not cause disappointment since the love of God has been poured out within our spirit, through the Spirit of God, which has been given to us, Romans 5. 2- 5 KINDNESS Your God is indeed a faithful God, who is true to God’s covenant, and God’s KINDNESS is for a thousand generations is toward those who love God by keeping God’s commandments, but God punishes those who dislike God. Keep, and observe God’s commandments, statutes, and ordinances, which are before you today. In return, God will be true to the covenant, (and KINDNESS,) which God promised your fathers, to love and bless you, Deuteronomy 7.9- 10. By God’s power, we have received what we need for true religion and eternal life in glory; however, we must develop, and display faith, goodness, understanding, self-control, patience, devotion to God, KINDNESS, and love, 2 Peter 1. 3- 7. Love displays patience and KINDNESS, but never jealously, 1 Corinthians 13.4-7, 13. KINDNESS, and love, for humankind from God, our Savior, was not because God was concerned with any righteous actions we might have done ourselves, it was according to God’s own compassion. God saved us from (past 2 Peter 1:9) sins by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and by renewing us with the power of the Spirit of God, which God gave us through Jesus Christ, our Savior. God justified us, saved us from (past) sins because of God’s grace, so we could hope to become heirs, looking forward to inheriting eternal life in glory, Titus 3.4-7. I did not want to do anything without your approval, because it would amount to bringing you into an act of (KINDNESS,) and I want you to act of your own free will, Philemon 14. Gods (KINDNESS) to place us in union with Christ/God, and make us holy, is available to us through Christ, Colossians 1.22, 23. Be friends and show KINDNESS to others, forgiving each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ, Ephesians 4. 32. God’s loving KINDNESS is everlasting, and God gives food to all flesh, Psalm 136.25- 26. God rules us with KINDNESS, Justice, and righteousness, Jeremiah 9.24. Love is KINDNESS, 1 Corinthians 13.4. Know that God’s KINDNESS leads you to repentance; however, your stubbornness and unrepentant spirit are placing you in danger on God’s judgment day. You will be repaid as your works deserve, Romans 2.4-6. Your God is indeed a faithful God, who is true to God’s covenant, and God’s (KINDNESS) is for a thousand generations is toward those who love God by keeping God’s commandments. God punishes those who dislike God, so keep, and observe, God’s commandments, statutes, and ordinances, which are before you today. In return, God will be true to the covenant, and KINDNESS, which God promised your fathers, to love and bless you, Deuteronomy 7.9-13. By God’s power, we have received what we need for true religion and eternal life in glory; however, we must develop, and display faith, goodness, understanding, self-control, patience, devotion to God, then KINDNESS, and love, 2 Peter 1.3, 5-7. KINDNESS, and love, for humankind is from God, our Savior, and was not because God was concerned with any righteous actions we might have done ourselves, it was according to God’s own compassion. God saved us from (past 2 Peter 1:9) sins by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and by renewing us with the power of the Spirit of God, which God gave us through Jesus Christ, our Savior. God justified us, (saved us from past) sins because of God’s grace, and now we can hope to become heirs, looking forward to inheriting eternal life in glory, Titus 3.4-7. GOODNESS In order to share divine nature, as to be an heir to God and escape corruption, you will need faith, GOODNESS, understanding, self-control, patience, kindness, devotion, and love. This behavior will bring you a real knowledge of Christ and without this behavior, you forget how your (past 2 Peter 1.9) sins vanished, but with this behavior, there is no danger that you will ever fall away, 2 Peter 1.3- 8. You are Christian infants and like babies now that you have tasted the GOODNESS of the Lord. You are hungry for milk, the spiritual honesty which will help you to grow up to salvation, 1 Peter 2.2-3. Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual change, so you can put on a new spiritual self that has been created in God’s way, a Spiritual self, in the (GOODNESS,) and holiness of the truth. From now on there must be no more lies about religion. You must speak the truth to one another, for we are all parts of one body, Ephesians 4.23- 25. We pray for you always, that God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill the desire for GOODNESS, through faith and by the power of the Spirit of God. Then God will assist you in a completion of all good works. In this way, the name of Jesus Christ will be glorified in you and also in Christ, according to the grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Thessalonians 1.11-12. Wisdom from above is essentially something pure, peaceable, kind, considerate, and shows itself in GOODNESS, and there is no partiality or falsity in it. Peacemakers, when working for peace, sow seed which will bear good fruit, James 3.17-18. FAITHFULNESS The word of God is upright, and all God’s work is done in FAITHFULNESS. God loves righteousness, and justice, and God’s unfailing love fills the Earth, Psalm 33.4-5. Saul died due to his UNFAITHFULNESS to God; he had disobeyed the word of God, God’s law, and he even sought guidance from a necromancer and not guidance from God. God sentenced Saul to death, and transferred the kingdom to David, son of Jesse, 1 Chronicles 10.13, 14. Hear my prayer Lord, listen to my pleading and in your FAITHFULNESS, and righteousness, answer me. Bring not your servant to trial for no one is righteous according to your standards, Psalm 143.3. I give thanks to your name for your love, and FAITHFULNESS, for your promises are even greater than your fame, Psalm 138. 2 Should his descendents desert my law and disregard my rulings, should they violate my statutes and not keep my commandments, I will punish their sins with the rod and their crimes with the whip, but never will I drop my love or fail in my FAITHFULNESS. I will not break my covenant and I will not revoke my given word, for I have sworn on my holiness, once and for all, and cannot tell a lie to David, Psalm 89. 30- 35 I will betroth you to myself for ever with My integrity, justice, tenderness, love, and FAITHFULNESS, and then you will come to know God, Hosea 2.19- 20. God's paths, and precepts, are dependable and ordained to last forever and ever, being framed in FAITHFULNESS, and integrity, Psalms 111. 7- 8. They shall be my people, and I shall be their God in FAIHFULNESS, and integrity, Zechariah 8.7. God, have pity on us and throw our faults and sins down to the bottom of the sea. Grant Jacob (FAITHFULNESS,) and Abraham mercy, as you swore to our forefathers from the days of long ago, Micah 7.19- 20. I am told of your FAITHFULNESS to the truth, and of your life in the truth. It is my greatest joy to hear that you are living according to the truth, 3 John 3 God, I mean to thank you among the Peoples, and play music to you among the nations. Your love is as high as heaven and your FAITHFULNESS, like the clouds, rise high above the heavens, Psalm 108. 3- 4. May He always sit enthroned in God’s presence, guarded by love and (FAITHFULNESS,) Psalm 61. 7 Though 1,000 fall at your side, 10,000 at your right hand, you will remain unscathed due to His FAITHFULNESS, which is your Shield and buckler Psalm 91. 4, 7. See how he wavers, he whose soul is not righteous, but the upright man will live by his FAITHFULNESS, Habakkuk 2. 4. David sent his messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, saying, “may you be blessed by God for doing this kindness to Saul your Lord, and for burying him.” May God show you kindness, and FAITHFULNESS. I too shall treat you well because you have done this, 2 Samuel 2. 4- 6. SELF CONTROL By God’s grace, and power, we have received what we need for eternal life in glory, but first we must develop, and exercise, our faith, our goodness, our understanding, our SELF CONTROL, and our patience, all through the fruit of the Spirit of God, Galatians 5.22, and then develop, and exercise, our love and devotion to God, 2 Peter 1.3, 5-7. The spirit that God gave us was not a Spirit of timidity, but a Spirit of power, and Spiritual power is metered according to one’s Spiritual gifts of love and SELF CONTROL, 2 Timothy 1.7. The roaring of a lion, the fury of the King; whoever provokes this anger wrongs his own life. It is to a man's honor if he avoids quarrels, but a fool never exercises SELF CONTROL,Proverbs 20: 2- 3.

People will be self centered, lovers of money, be boastful, arrogant, and treat others badly, be disobedient to parents, be unthankful, be evil, be unloving, be unable to agree, be malicious gossips, and without SELF CONTROL, 2 Timothy 3. 2- 3.
