The Word Trybe

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6 MSG‬‬

“In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline—not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences. You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.”

“But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬ ‭MSG‬‬

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,”

I am ever [on guard] to keep myself free from my sin and guilt.

—ISAIAH 53:5

No one understands [no one intelligently discerns or comprehends]; no one seeks out God. All have turned aside; together they have gone wrong and have become unprofitable and worthless; no one does right, not even one! . . . But now the righteousness of God has been revealed, namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [And it is meant] for all who believe. It is meant for me.

—ROMANS 3:11-12, 21-22

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. I am in Christ Jesus. I do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

—ROMANS 8:1-2 (NKJV)

Because Christ lives in me, [then although] my natural body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to me].

God does not condemn me because He has justified me, Jesus does not condemn me because He is seated at the right hand of God pleading for me in intercession.

—HEBREWS 10:22-23 (NIV)

—ISAIAH 54:17

I am assured and know that [God being a partner in my labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for me because I love God and I’m called according to [His] design and purpose.

—ROMANS 8:28

I am more than a conqueror and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved me. For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus my Lord.

I do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless,

exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though my outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet my inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day. For my light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for me an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!].
