Ella discusses loving God, others and showing gratitude continues.

Scriptures referenced:

"[1John 4:16 KJV] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."

"[1 John 4:7 KJV] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God"

"[Mark 12:31 KJV] . . . Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. . . ."

"[Jeremiah 31:1-3] At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.  Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” 

"[Romans 5:8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

"[Philippians 2:13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

Ella speaks tonight on Love and Gratitude.

The results of love:

Love is emotion, it is kind, and it is forgiving. But most of all God is love. When we think about what love is we are looking for results.

"Matt 22:37 Jesus said Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

Living in a world where it is all about me, me, I, I! Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or juice as we talk about God, his word, his love as it relates to life.

[Pro 3:5 KJV] 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

You have a choice to make. Where is your focus? What can be done to influence our perception in the right direction?

[2Co 4:6, 13-18 KJV] 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ... 13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you. 15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.

[Mat 12:34 KJV] 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

[Psa 19:14 KJV] 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

With all these new influences coming from the right places our perception begans to change.Through reading the word, meditating on the word, spending time with the spirit I start obeying, walking out the word of God Now coming from love and not evil or selfish motives, we change. The mouth produces what has influenced our heart. . I'm no longer a complainer because no longer meditating on why someone is looking at me wrong because I'm too consumed by the love and word of God to allow my mind to go there anymore.

What has been introduced to our memory helps form our perceptions.

Jeremiah 4:22 "For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."

At the beginning of salvation for someone not raised in church the scripture ". . . be ye holy for I am holy;" 1 Peter 1:16 you have no concept of because you have no former influences or memory to base the scripture on.

The thing within you that gives you the okay to respond to the love of God came from God himself. We want love. ". . . God is love." 1John 4:8

Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, . . ."

Ps 119:99-107, 111, 115-116, 125, 129-130 "I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word." "Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart." "Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope." Isaiah 55:8 ". . .neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."

These influences lead to the content of our heart.

Mark 7:17-18 "And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 and he saith unto them, are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive . . ."

We finish our review of Rev. Harry Jackson's message.

This is review of a message I heard at my church, Living Waters Christian Church in Gladwin, MI by Rev. Harry Jackson.

[Rom 8:26-28 KJV] 26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

[Jhn 4:23-24 KJV] 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
