I've found myself addicted to many things that have hurt me spiritually, but with the help of an AMAZING God, a WONDERFUL husband, and a few good friends I am overcoming. I have what some people call an addictive personality, and I have heard it said that when one addiction is given up it can be quickly replaced with the next best thing that comes along...all I can say is I HOPE SO.

"Do Not Awaken Love Until It Is Ready" (2)
2:03 AM by Christi Bowman
Continued From Last Post: Do we have a part to play?
John 15:16 says "
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name."
How do we bear fruit?
John 15:4 "
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." John15:2 "
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
What will it look like if we are in him?
Matthew 25:23-25
"When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another..."A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household!"John 15:18
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.Who told Jesus that he cast out demons with demons?
The Pharisees.
Who persecuted Jesus?
The religious leaders of His day.
Who hated Jesus?
