Christianity is a fight with the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Trying to entice you away from God and His Words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 NLT
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Proverbs 18:21 NLT
21 The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
When we only say what God says, we have bridled our tongue.

Galatians 5:6 AMPC
6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
(KJV…Faith that works by Love.)

2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT
7 For we live by believing and not by seeing.

Old Testament law always points to you.
It demands.

New Testament Grace, always points to Jesus who provided everything for us. We receive by faith that works by love.

Mark 11:24 NKJV
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Hebrews 3:1 NKJV
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

He can only work with our confession that becomes our profession. He’s not the apostle or high priest of your silence or your fleshly speaking. No, Jesus and His Word is our confession. You are the main key, with your mouth what you say or don’t say allows God’s power to work or the enemies power to work. The choice is yours.
Philippians 4:13 NKJV
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Stop just living in defense, you need to live in offense, by confessing God’s Word over your life. Don’t stop confessing until it comes to pass. Don’t just receive, be a giver of what you have received. Don’t just be a consumer, be a proprietor. Now that your saved get all your family and friends and everybody you meet to get saved as the Holy Spirit leads you to love and befriend them.

We must receive and maintain what Jesus has obtained for us through His perfect obedience to our heavenly Father. We don’t work for victory, but from victory. By giving God glory for what He has already done for us. Faith in God’s love connects us to God’s promises and blessings. Love is the connection, to believing and trusting! Grace is love in action, God has graced you with His love through the thousands of promises He has given us. Receive them by Faith when you pray, then give God the glory by faith. Even though you don’t see or feel anything. Why? Because God is not a man that He should lie, His promises are true. Rest in what you have believed He said, Because He can’t lie. The devil is a liar and he uses lying vanities, don’t be deceived. Keep calling the things that be not yet manifested as though they were, and they will show up.

Romans 4:17 NKJV
17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

Romans 4:20-21 NKJV
20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Psalm 84:11 NKJV
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

Desire Hope anchors soul
Faith anchors the heart

John 7:37-39 NKJV
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

He’s not talking about natural water, anymore than the woman in John ch.4. He was talking about natural water when He said whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but who ever drinks of the water that I shall give, will never thirst again, because it shall be in him a well of water springing up unto ever lasting life.
Well/ spring up
River = powers
Now the well spring up is for you. Spring up in love unto ever lasting life. When you get born again you have a spring of water on the inside of you. You are always being watered with His love and His Word. His fellowship, conscience, communication and wisdom, His goodness and grace is bubbling up and not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting.

Galatians 5:22-24 NKJV
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

God is Love
1. Love = Receiving God’s unconditional love for you so then you can have unconditional love for you.
2. Joy = exuberance about life, live in such a way that the joy of the Lord will strengthen you.
3. Peace = serenity in word, confidence in God, shalom, wholeness, nothing missing, nothing broken.
4. Patience = it develops a willingness to endure, to stick with it.
5. Kindness = A sense of compassion from the heart, generosity.
6. Goodness = living clean, an uprightness of heart and life.
7. Faithfulness - -loyally committed to God’s truth.
8. Gentleness – not needing to force our way in life.
9. Self- Control – able to marshal and direct our energies wisely

Love, joy, peace for you. Receive love, express joy, live in shalom peace.
Then you will express forbearance, kindness, goodness to others in the world you are God’s advertisement, you will demonstrate your faithfulness, your gentleness, and your self-control, doing this you will break no laws by demonstrating God’s character. Love, joy, and peace is God’s strength for you so that you can give others forbearance, kindness, and goodness. So that in the world you can demonstrate faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. So that you can be a living, seeing, and hearing testimony for God in this world. So, the world will desire to come to Jesus because they see Him in you.

Humility is a grace that attracts more grace, pride closes the door to spiritual growth, but humility opens the door of your life to more of God’s grace. To the humble God gives patience, peace, and gentleness. The fruit of the Spirit grows in the soil of humility, humility is the key to spiritual growth.
